Advertising used to be incredibly straightforward. First build something good and then tell the world about it. If it wasn't that good, lie about it. The outcome was pretty similar. People would buy what they were told to buy.
Things changed. The audience became savvier and more cynical toward advertising. So marketers responded by torturing them with emotional work that pulled more at their heartstrings rather than their purse strings. We bought because of guilt or to belong to a tribe of the cool and beautiful.
Social media turned marketing upside down. Literally. The audience now has a voice. It can unpick marketing half-truths in a heartbeat. Peer-recommendation has more value than the Wall Street Journal. It does, honestly….
Not easily. They can't respond to the tsunami of social commentary in real time but they'll have to. Brands know it's crucial to be relevant and engaging but there are so many fronts to the new battlefield.
At the same time there is a new pressure for authenticity and transparency. Deep inside any business lurks an army of potential whistleblowers, thrilled to reveal any scandalous activities.
The good news is we are waking up a bigger force of fans, influencers and advocates. And today's marketing is much more focussed on bringing these people alive and stimulating them to engage and become active evangelists.
3LA is focussed on these new opportunities. Discovering, activating and empowering the biggest army of followers, fans, influencers and advocates that you deserve. In record time. Because we have tools, process and experience.

Everyone has his or her own idea of a picture perfect vacation. If your description would include blissful beaches, plenty of opportunities for fishing, excellent golf, dining, and shopping then you must consider Port Aransas, Texas for an upcoming trip. The list of things to do in Port Aransas is full of activities that have made the Gulf Coast of Texas famous. Get ready for exciting fishing charters, restaurants that will cook your daily catch, and cozy oceanfront vacation rentals. This Port Aransas travel guide will provide all the basic information you need to get planning!
Best of the Beach
The main attraction in Port Aransas is the beach — and you will understand why the moment you set eyes on it. As you're first gazing into the Gulf of Mexico, your eyes might catch something out in the water. You might want to rub your eyes but you aren't mistaken — that's dolphins frolicking out in the water. Other beach activities include flying a kite, taking a sailing lesson, collecting seashells, and planning a beach picnic. This Texas destination is all about simple pleasures, so get ready to soak up the sun, play a game of beach volleyball, or rent a jet ski for an afternoon.
Of all the things to do in Port Aransas, one of the biggest attractions is fishing. The Gulf of Mexico is known for its waters that are teeming with a huge variety of fish. Whether you want to charter a boat for a short excursion closer to shore or plan a thrilling deep water adventure, you will find a charter company in Port Aransas that's right for you. Out in the deep waters there are many fish you could find at the end of your fishing rod including kingfish, marlin, tuna, sailfish and more. If you're looking for a relaxing experience, you could always cast your line off one of the local fishing piers too.
Local Leisure
Some beach destinations offer a great environment for relaxation and some water sports, but not much else. This Port Aransas travel guide will prove that this is not the case for this popular Texas destination. Here, if you want to work on your golf swing, there are excellent courses including the Newport Dunes Golf Club designed by Arnold Palmer. Beyond golf, there are opportunities to rent bikes here, and many families enjoy a leisurely ride at sunset.
Dining and Shopping
On the long list of things to do in Port Aransas, one of the most popular activities is dining at a restaurant that will cook your catch. Instead of throwing that fish back into the Gulf of Mexico, why not bring it to a local restaurant that specializes in the preparation of fresh fish? That way, you don't have to do any of the work but can enjoy the reward. Other great dining options include romantic candlelit restaurants as well as open-air casual eateries. For romance or family dining, Port Aransas will deliver. For some travelers, a trip wouldn't be complete without a little shopping. Boutiques and gift shops will provide a little retail therapy.
Vacation Rentals
No Port Aransas travel guide would be complete without mentioning vacation rentals. Instead of cramming your family into a cramped hotel room, choose a spacious Port Aransas vacation rental with a view of the ocean. You will have everything you need to maximize your stay, including the convenience of a kitchen and laundry facilities. A day spent fishing, golfing, or lounging on the beach will be even better when it began in a cozy oceanfront rental.

Can anyone tell me whether it's working days or calendar days? If it is supposd to be working days, how can I argue the point?
As per the Labour Laws that Ionysis posted, it states the following.
A working woman is entitled to maternity leave with full pay for a period of forty five days including the time before and after delivery, provided that her continuous period of service with the employer should not be less than a year, but if a working woman has not completed the said period, the maternity leave shall be with half pay.
A working woman, on the expiry of the maternity leave, may discontinue work without pay for a maximum period of one hundred consecutive or intermittent days if such absence is due to illness which does not enable her to resume work. Such illness shall be evidenced by a medical certificate issued by a medical authority attested by the competent health authority or endorsed by such authorities to the effect that the illness resulted from pregnancy or delivery.
Leave provided for in the preceding two paragraphs shall not be computed as part of other leaves.

How sickening is it to know that at 16-year-old boy killed his ex for some breakfast? Make sure you read the text msgs at the end… smh!
A schoolboy murdered a former girlfriend after he was promised a free breakfast if he carried out the killing, a court heard.
Rebecca Aylward, 15, was battered to death in October last year within weeks of the 'chilling bet' with a friend.
Her alleged killer, 16, lured her to a secluded wood near Bridgend, south Wales, where he smashed her head with a rock, Swansea Crown Court heard.
To divert suspicion from himself, he had previously told her to let it be known she was meeting someone else.
Murdered: Rebecca Aylward, 15, was found dead with head injuries in secluded woods near Bridgend
South Wales Police officers at the scene where Rebecca's body was discovered in woods near Bridgend
But it is claimed that she failed to follow his directions and told her mother the name of the person she was meeting.
Greg Taylor QC began by handing the jury a list of terms used in texting and on MSN Messenger and Facebook.
Evidence from all those sources will play a key role in the prosecution case of what he called a 'teenage murder'.
'There is no doubt that Rebecca Aylward was murdered,' he said. 'She was hit a number of times to her head with a rock in a forest at Aberkenfig.
'It was raining and she was left for dead lying face down on the wet forest floor in new clothes that had been bought for her the day before.
'The prosecution say that the boy who sits before you here committed this murder. The defence say that he had nothing to do with it and that Rebecca was killed by his best friend.'
He added, 'The question for you is who did it? The prosecution say that there is absolutely no doubt that he did it.'
The teenager denies a single charge of murder on October 23, 2010.
Mr Taylor said the teenagers had briefly been in a relationship about a year before the murder and had kept in touch.
The defendant used to meet every Saturday at a local cafe in the area with teenage friends where they had breakfast together.
At one such meeting, said Mr Taylor, he openly discussed killing the girl, his friends assuming he was joking.
They later told police he had a reputation for saying he was going to do things he never subsequently did.
But in a later text to one friend he asks: 'What would you do if I actually did kill her?' The friend replies: 'Oh, I would buy you breakfast.'
Mr Taylor said: 'It is difficult to know, isn't it, if someone could be serious about something like that.'
Trial: Swansea Crown Court heard today that Rebecca's alleged killer, lured her to a secluded wood near Bridgend before attacking her
Investigation: Police at the woodland near Aberkenfig where Rebecca was found
Brutal: The court heard that Rebecca was killed after being repeatedly struck with a rock
But the subject of the murder allegedly became a regular text topic between the friends, until two days before the killing when the defendant contacted his friend to confirm he would attend their breakfast date.
He added 'Don't say anything but you may just owe me a breakfast.'
The friend replied, 'Best text I have ever had mate. Seriously, if it is true I am happy to pay for a breakfast.'
The defendant adds, 'I hope by then it will be done and dusted.'
The friend replies: 'I want all the details. You sadistic b******.' The text finished with a smiley face symbol.
The teenager added: 'Large breakfast with extras of everything.' His friend replied, 'Sick, sick boy.' Source

- 0Dec 13, '12 by Qtp2t RN[COLOR=#000000]Hello, everyone!
I've been lurking around here for the past 6 weeks or so, hoping to see more posts as it neared time for the board to conviene. Were any of you granted the required dual acceptance by Northeastern and the Army/LTHET? I have yet to see a post by anyone anywhere on this site stating that they've been fully accepted by both.
I'm an Army Reservist who's been accepted by Northeastern Univ, but OML'd by the Army for LTHET. I don't know whether I'll be joining the USAGPAN class beginning Summer 2013, Summer 2014, or none at all. Either way, I'm hoping to gain some insight from the personal experiences of others as you continue the process and transition into the program.
I'm hoping for the best for each of you and look forward to reading about your experiences as you continue on this journey!

Why Learning Emerging Technologies is Every Librarians' Business
Kathryn Greenhill of Librarians Matter has put together an excellent presentation on finding the time and reasons to learn about emerging technologies.
The presenation title comes from the two phrases I hear most when people find out what I do. If they are lukewarm about new technologies, they tell me that they don't have time to learn about new technologies in their jobs. If they are enthusiastic, they often tell me that "THEY" (their workmates, their organisation) just don't understand why they should spend time finding out about new web tools.
The presentation covers:
1. What are emerging technologies ?
2. Five reasons to learn about them
3. Compass points to work out where to put your energy
4. Preparation
5. Tools
6. Useful sites
7. Convincing THEM (Taking it back to your organisation)

Biotech's Brighter Corners
Blue chip biotechs have been stuck in the mud since the bear market ended, as I pointed out Monday. The small- and mid-cap biotech universe, however, continues to offer speculative opportunities for aggressive traders and investors. Just be careful how you approach these volatile issues, because bad timing or misplaced sentiment can do major damage to your bottom line.
There are a number of equally valid approaches to biotech speculation. TheStreet's resident biotech guru Adam Feuerstein offers a comprehensive strategy that focuses on key drug applications with the greatest growth potential and the best prospects for approval from the Food and Drug Administration. Of course, there will be few misfires in this approach, but it can also make you a ton of money.
I prefer a different methodology, because I'm a total coward when playing these issues and am not seeking exposure to the ultimate prize -- i.e., an approved drug that can be wrapped, marketed, sold in a dozen pill shapes and capsules. Instead, I choose to play the speculator, rather than the speculation. That is, I profit exclusively from the chatter, table pounding and newsletter endorsements that these idea-rich, cash-poor stocks attract on a daily basis.
The timing strategy of this technically oriented approach is simple, yet powerful -- play the stocks into key meeting or research dates, but jump back to the sidelines before market-moving data or decisions hit the newswires. This requires familiarity with the development schedules of the companies you're trading, as well as their key milestone dates.Even so, you're not going to avoid news exposure 100% of the time because of the FDA's fickle nature. The agency has released preliminary findings ahead of meeting dates, and drug trial results that are rushed to public view because they're much better or much worse than expectations. The good news is that these shocks should average out over time, allowing the underlying strategy to work its magic.

I GOT THE JOB!!!!! - page 3

- 0Sep 18, '12 by Glenna, LPNQuote from livelikegoldI did my clinical's with the VA my last term of my LPN program. My dad is a veteran and I had him ask a lot of question's when he would go to see his PCP (well question's for the staff that is). Many of them said that they did their clincial's witht he VA which helped them them hired (another reason why I pressed my school so much to allow me to have clinical's with the VA)was it difficult getting a position at a Va (veterans administration) clinic. I am asking because I am also very interested in getting work in the virginia area and at a Va facility because of their benefits.
It takes forever to get a job with the VA. I graduated in Aug. 2011, and passed my NCLEX Oct. then in dec I applied for two different jobs with in the VA. So in total, I've applied five times. My preceptor at the VA told me to be persistent and always check USAjobs.gov. Another way that may help you to get a job within the VA is to also apply for volunteer positions within the VA. While I was doing my clinical's I saw this volunteer there and she was jumping off the walls because she was finally able to land a job within the VA after doing her volunteer work for a while.
Don't give up, keep applying...and I swear their motto is "Hurry up and wait". Good luck!
- 0Sep 24, '12 by didi768I miss the VA and should have stayed being I worked there for 13 yrs. as a new grad. Great teaching hospital and great orientations. I will keep applying but there is a freeze at most. I would have to apply and relocate, dumping my house that is worth nothing. I'd like to get into a VA clinic somewhere. I live in Tampa FL now.
- 0Sep 24, '12 by LTCNSI worked at a Veteran's Home for a few months in medical records and liked it, but I was contract and never would have been eligible for the benefits, so I left. I really enjoyed the veterans and their stories and most of the staff were friendly and helpful. If not for the contract thing I would probably still be there.

Tropical banana–berry parfait
Preparation time: 20 minutes
2 small bananas (approximately 6 inches long),
Place peeled bananas on a baking sheet in the freezer. Pour half of canned fruit and juice into each of 2 shallow, freezer-safe plastic containers and put in the freezer. Freeze fruit for 1 1/2–2 hours, or until tropical fruit is just slightly slushy and bananas are frozen solid. Put half of bananas and 1 container tropical fruit into a blender and pulse on high until thick and creamy; stop frequently to push fruit to the bottom of the blender. Add remaining banana and continue blending. Pour mixture into a bowl and return to the freezer to keep cold. Rinse blender and add frozen, unsweetened strawberries and remaining container of tropical fruit. Blend, stopping frequently to push fruit to the bottom of the blender, until thick and creamy.
In each of the plastic cups, layer 1/4 cup of banana mixture, 1/4 cup of strawberry mixture, another 1/4 cup banana mixture, and 3 tablespoons strawberry mixture. Smooth with the back of a spoon after adding each layer. Top each parfait with a strawberry and serve immediately. Leftovers can be covered with foil and frozen, then thawed at room temperature until slushy.

Incentive program for SNAP participants in Hampden County promotes healthier eating
The 2008 federal Farm Bill authorized $20 million for USDA to test whether incentives to buy fresh produce will increase the purchase of healthy foods. Massachusetts was the only state chosen to administer this groundbreaking study. The grant will be distributed over three years to the Department of Transitional Assistance (DTA), SNAP participants in Hampden County and an independent contractor that will evaluate the efficacy of providing incentives to eat healthier.
"I'm delighted that the Commonwealth has been selected to provide a national example through this pilot program," said Governor Deval Patrick. "This Administration is deeply committed to promoting health and wellness for all state residents, and I applaud the work of the Department of Transitional Assistance for developing a comprehensive pilot proposal that made our selection possible."
Massachusetts was chosen in a competitive process based on a comprehensive pilot proposal that included very thorough and strong design, implementation, staffing and management plans. Hampden County is a mix of 27 urban, rural and suburban communities with a total of 50,000 SNAP households. The majority of recipients are concentrated in the areas of Springfield, Holyoke and Chicopee. Massachusetts will begin operating the pilot program in the fall of 2011.
The USDA also selected Abt Associates Inc. of Cambridge to act as an independent contractor to evaluate HIP. The evaluation will focus on whether incentives increase the consumption of fruits and vegetables and how participants' overall diets are affected. Researchers will also study HIP effects on the state, retailers and other SNAP stakeholders, and assess the feasibility of implementing HIP nationwide.
"This pilot is a significant step towards reducing the financial barriers low-income residents have to add more fruits and vegetables to their diets for a healthier lifestyle," said Secretary of Health and Human Services Dr. JudyAnn Bigby. "Being selected for the pilot reflects the Patrick-Murray Administration's ongoing commitment to promoting healthy eating and living for all people throughout the Commonwealth."
"I am honored that our proposal was selected for this groundbreaking pilot," said DTA Commissioner Julia E. Kehoe. "I commend our staff members for their teamwork and their commitment to this project in the face of escalating caseloads. HIP furthers our effort to foster innovative partnerships that assist low-income individuals and families as comprehensively as possible. We look forward to working with USDA, Abt Associates Inc. and the excellent organizations in Hampden County to ensure the success of HIP."
The Healthy Incentives Pilot will enroll 7,500 randomly selected SNAP households to receive incentives. For every dollar participants spend on fruits and vegetables using their SNAP Electronic Benefit Transfer cards, 30 cents will be added to their benefit balance -- thus cutting the cost of fruits and vegetables by almost one-third. The majority of the $20 million grant will be shared by DTA and Abt Associates.
In addition to providing nutritious food to its participants, SNAP has a positive impact on the state economy. DTA issues nearly $100 million per month in SNAP benefits. Every dollar spent in SNAP generates nearly $2 in economic activity. This means that the $1.2 billion issued annually in SNAP equates to $2.4 billion in local production, sales and jobs for the Commonwealth.
SNAP serves more than 755,000 individuals in Massachusetts by assisting low-income individuals and families with purchasing healthy food. The program is federally funded and serves as the first line of defense against hunger. Individuals, families with children, seniors and people with disabilities who are having difficulty meeting their basic needs are encouraged to apply for SNAP benefits by visiting www.mass.gov/vg/selfservice, calling 1-866-950-FOOD, or visiting their local DTA office.
USDA's Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) will provide Federal oversight of the pilot and evaluation. FNS oversees the administration of 15 nutrition assistance programs. These programs serve one in four Americans over the course of a year and work in concert to form a national safety net against hunger. SNAP, the largest of these programs, helps more than 40 million Americans each month put healthy food on the table. Visit www.fns.udsa.gov for information about FNS and nutrition assistance programs.


text: CLEARWATER, Fla. (June 17, 2010) – This year's Morton Plant Mease Triathlon on June 27 will feature elite junior triathletes competing with some of the world's top triathletes. The Morton Plant Mease Triathlon has been chosen as the 2010 USAT Florida Region Junior Championship. The race will give elite junior triathletes, ages 15 to 19, a rare opportunity to compete alongside champions.

Cheap Medical Coverage
Don't fret if you are looking for cheap medical coverage. There are several health plan options for you to go with. See the descriptions of the below health plans for consideration.
One type of cheap medical coverage is the short-term health plan. This can be obtained for one month and up to one year – all depending on what state you live in. This may be a good idea for you and your family if you have just lost a job or are in a waiting period for another health plan. It will offer you full coverage for the term you have selected and if you choose to, you can renew it when it expires, but it might not be the same premium rate each time – it could be higher. This may also be a good health plan for those who need temporary coverage while on a dangerous job assignment.
To help get instant cheap medical coverage, you can opt for getting an accidental health plan. This is specifically for protection from expenses due to accidents. Most health insurance companies offer this option worldwide, so no matter where you are, you will be covered. Even worldwide air ambulance transport expenses from an accident will be paid for by your plan.
You may also want to consider getting an HMO, or Health Maintenance Organization, plan. There is a network of providers in which you choose your Primary Care Physician, or PCP. This physician will be the only one to take care of your health needs unless they refer you to another specialist within your network coverage. You can only use an out-of-network physician during emergency situations. A flat-rate monthly premium is provided to you.

A calendar is a system of organizing days for social, religious, commercial, or administrative purposes. This is done by giving names to periods of time, typically days, weeks, months, and years. A date is the designation of a single, specific day within such a system. Periods in a calendar are usually, though not necessarily, synchronized with the cycle of the sun or the moon. Many civilizations and societies have devised a calendar, usually derived from other calendars on which they model their systems, suited to their particular needs. A calendar is also a physical device. This is the most common usage of the word. Other similar types of calendars can include computerized systems, which can be set to remind the user of upcoming events and appointments. A calendar can also mean a list of planned events, such as a court calendar. The English word calendar is derived from the Latin word kalendae, which was the Latin name of the first day of every month.

After a 24-year, 28-match streak against Amherst without a victory, despite some close scores, Wesleyan left no doubt that its 5-4 win over Amherst Jan. 20 to end the long string was no fluke as the Cardinals secured a 6-3 triumph over Amherst during the Little Three matches at Williams Sat., Jan. 26. Williams won the Little Three crown with victories over both Wesleyan and Amherst as the Ephs defeated the Cardinals, 8-1.
Guy Davidson '16 (photo), who has found a home as the team's #2 player behind two-time all-NESCAC choice John Steele '14, took victories from both his Little Three rivals including a 3-1 win vs. Amherst and a 3-2 conquest vs. Williams, coming back from a 2-0 deficit in the latter and capturing the deciding game by a resounding 11-2 count. Davidson played #1 for Wesleyan during the opening eight matches while Steele was abroad and fashioned a 5-3 record. He is 6-0 at #2, making him 11-3 overall.
Also winning for the Cardinals against Amherst was #5 Mike DeLalio '14, who was not in the lineup during the first meeting with the Lord Jeffs due to a hand injury. He made the most of his opportunity this time with a 3-2 win, taking the fifth game, 11-3. Repeat winners for the Cardinals included Zander Nassikas '14, as he won 3-0 at #4; Blair Corbin '15 at #8 (3-1); and Jeff Berman '14 at #9 (3-1). Turning it around was #7 Raheem Logan '16, as he won 3-1 after coming up short at #6 in the first battle with Amherst.
Against Williams, while Davidson was the lone Wesleyan winner, both Nassikas and #6 Ethan Moritz '14 snagged a game from their Eph foe.
The Cardinals were right back on the court Sun., Jan. 27, hosting powerful Navy, ranked 15th nationally, and Stanford, ranked 26th. Wesleyan improved three spots in the latest rankings, released Jan. 20, as the Cardinals moved up from #24 to #21, one spot ahead of Amherst. The Cardinals fell to Navy, 7-2, with Davidson a 3-2 winner to up his mark at #2 to 7-0, while DeLalio also came through with a victory, 3-1. Both Steele and Sneed captured a game in their matches. Wesleyan had little trouble disposing of Stanford, winning 9-0, while resting Davidson and Nassikas. That gave Jason Bradner '16 a chance for a 3-0 win at #8 and Cam Rahbar '15 did the same at #9.
Wesleyan is the dividing line among NESCAC teams in the national rankings as five are higher in the rankings and five are lower as the NESCAC Championship is up next for the team Fri.-Sun., Feb. 1-3, at Trinity. If those ranking hold true for the seeding, Wesleyan will be seeded sixth and will take on the 11th seed in the first round, likely Tufts. If Wesleyan is victorious (Wesleyan defeated Tufts, 8-1, earlier this season), the Cardinals next opponent will be the third seed, possibly Bates.

New smartphone apps help keep track of hurricanes
There are numerous hurricane tracking apps for iPhones and Android devices that give up-to-date information on where hurricanes will hit next.
Wed, Aug 24, 2011 at 09:19 AM
Image: TechNewsDaily
Hurricane season isn't a problem if you live in Nebraska, but many residents on the East Coast are keeping a wary eye on Hurricane Irene this week. Fortunately, there are plenty of smartphone apps that can help you track hurricanes approaching your area and prepare for them.
While many weather apps, such as The Weather Channel app (free for iOS and Android), will give updates on hurricanes, there are dedicated hurricane-tracking applications that are much more detailed. Depending on the app, users can find live radar and infrared feeds from weather satellites and information on what the various hurricane classifications mean.
For iPhone and iPad users, an app called Hurricane HD ($2.99) provides videos and up-to-date information from experts at HurricaneTrack.com.
Another app, called Hurricane Tracker (free, or $1.99 for full version), offers dedicated versions of the app for specific areas of the coastline, organized by state.
Other iOS hurricane apps include Hurricane Watch ($1.99, or $2.99 for HD version), Hurricane Tracking Center (free), Hurricane Track (free) and Hurricane Station (free, or $0.99 for full version).
Android users have many similar options, sometimes by the same companies that make the iPhone apps. Some options for Android users include Hurricane Tracker ($1.49), Hurricane Hound (free, or $1.99 for full version), Hurricane Net ($0.99) and SeaStorm ($1.99).
If you don't want to purchase an app, you can still stay up to date by reading the National Hurricane Center website, which has a wealth of free information on hurricanes. There is even a mobile-optimized version of the site so that users can easily use the site in a smartphone browser.
However you decide to track hurricanes, remember to be prepared and follow directions from your local authorities.

You probably have heard that if you use chlorinated tapwater in your aquaponic system you risk killing all your fish. That's true, but there are other creatures you will also certainly kill. You can't see them, but they are there, in your media bed and/or your solids removal and filtration system. These invisible creatures are called nitrifying bacteria.
Yukkk! You are probably thinking that bacteria are all bad, bad, bad. Not so.
You would not be here if it were not for all sorts of friendly bacteria. These are Nature's cleaning crew. They eat up poisons and waste products and churn out substances that we can use as food, drink, or air. Nitrifying bacteria are important friendly bacteria.
In the case of nitrifying bacteria living in the filtration parts of aquaponic systems, what they do is eat up ammonia and nitrite and churn out AMMONIUM NITRATE which is what plants need to eat to GROW.
If you kill all these nitrifying bacteria, by putting chlorine, chloramine, or antibiotics in your aquaponic system, you risk KILLING EVERYTHING ELSE IN YOUR AQUAPONIC SYSTEM.
There will be undigested ammonia going around your system, and no nitrate for the plants to eat.
Ammonia, which fish sweat, pee and poo, straight into the water, is toxic in tiny amounts to fish. If the nitrifying bacteria, which eat it, are gone, it will build up and kill your fish very fast.
There are TWO KINDS of nitrifying bacteria, nitrosomonas and nitrobacter. Each of these performs a different task in getting that ammonia to turn into nitrate. However, the whole process of turning ammonia into ammonium nitrate fertilizer with bacteria is called NITRIFICATION.
The biological conversion of ammonia to nitrate fertilizer is called nitrification. Nitrification is a two-step process. Bacteria known as Nitrosomonas convert ammonia and ammonium (a different version of ammonia in the water) to ammonium nitrite. Next, bacteria called Nitrobacter finishthe conversion of nitrite to nitrate. The reactions are generally coupled and proceed rapidly to the ammonium nitrate form; therefore, ammonium nitrite levels at any given time should usually be low.
However, if the levels of nitrobacter are low, and nitrosomonas levels still remain high, you may get excess amounts of ammonium nitrite in your system. This can happen due to overfeeding your fish, and a buildup of ammonia and ammonium due to having undigested rotting feed hanging around in your system. Excess ammonium nitrite causes fish to go down with brown blood disease which can kill all your fish in half an hour. Therefore test daily for excess ammonia and ammonium nitrite.
Another indicator of this excess ammonium nitrite situation is if you see your fish refusing to feed and congregating near the surface, gasping for air. Do a 50% water change of the whole system immediately with dechlorinated dechloramined water, and make sure no undigested food and fish mulm is hanging around in the filtration units and grow beds/hydroponic raceways.
These bacteria known as 'nitrifiers'are strict 'aerobes,' meaning they must have free dissolved oxygen (lots of air bubbling through the water in practical terms) to perform their work. Nitrification occurs only under 'aerobic' conditions (with lots of air dissolved in the water) at dissolved oxygen levels of 1.0 mg/L or more.At dissolved oxygen (DO for short) concentrations less than 0.5 mg/L, the growth rate of nitrifying bacteria is minimal. Nitrification requires a long fluid retention time, a low food to microorganism ratio (F:M for short), a high mean cell residence time (measured as MCRT), and adequate buffering (alkalinity).
In other words, the water should not flow too fast through your system to allow the bacteria to hang on to the orchard net, sponge or media you are using as your filter and happily sit there digesting ammonia and ammonium nitrite. Your aquaponic system should be designed to achieve this in its filtration section and/or media based grow beds. Temperature, as discussed below, is also important, but not really.
The nitrification process produces acid.This acid formation lowers the pH of the biological population in the filtration tank or grow bed and can cause a reduction of the growth rate of your nitrifying bacteria. Since these can take up to four weeks to repopulate your aquaponic system if they are lost due to inattention or other malfunctions, pH maintenance in your aquaponic system is vital.
The optimum pH for Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter is between 7.5 and 8.5; most aquaponic systems' circulating water is adjusted with tiny amounts of lime and potash to stay at a neutral pH of 7.0. Nitrification stops at a pH below 6.0.The nitrification reaction (that is, the conversion of ammonia to nitrate) consumes 7.1 mg/L of alkalinity, so the pH of the water in your aquaponic system should be tested daily and the levels adjusted when necessary back to a neutral pH of 7.0.
Water temperature also affects the rate of nitrification. Nitrification reaches a maximum rate at temperatures between 30 and 35 degrees C (86oF and 95oF). At temperatures of 40oC (104oF) and higher, nitrification rates fall to near zero. At temperatures below 20 degrees C, nitrification proceeds at a slower rate, but will continue at temperatures of 10 degrees C and less. However, if nitrification is lost, it will not resume until the temperature increases to well over 10 oC. So watch your water temperature and also make sure it is the right temperature for the species of fish you are raising!
Some of the most toxic compounds to nitrifiying bacteria include cyanide, thiourea, phenol and heavy metals such as silver, mercury, nickel, chromium, copper and zinc. Nitrifying bacteria can also be inhibited by nitrous acid and free ammonia. As I said, the chlorine and chloramine used as antiseptics in your ordinary domestic water supply will also kill them.
Water quality in your aquaponic system depends on the partnership between these two kinds of nitrifying bacteria, your plant population, and YOU.
It's up to you to check and test daily and at every feeding time to make sure that conditions in your aquaponic system are right for all its inhabitants, including the all-important nitrifying bacteria.
Look after these little creatures, and they will look after you, and your plants and fish.
However, if you are in an emergency situation, it is always useful to have these (below) to restart your nitrifying bacteria population WITHOUT a four-week wait-instant nitrifyng bacteria:

College Counselors Count:
New York City students applying to college need the help of
trained counselors--but gigantic caseloads and limited time
mean many students miss out.
A simple mistake by a high school college guidance office derailed Alyssa DeFilippo's dream of going away to college. Even now, three years later, Alyssa expresses frustration and incredulity as she recounts her story.
Enrolled at Midwood High School, one of the better public high schools in Brooklyn, she had her heart set on SUNY Albany. With a high GPA, good SAT scores, extracurricular activities and strong references from teachers, she felt sure that her top choice would accept her.
Alyssa, the first in her family to attend college, was diligent about visiting her college guidance office, beginning in the second semester of her junior year. While her school had a large guidance staff, it had only two full-time college counselors for 800 seniors. Alyssa knew she had to take the initiative. "There weren't appointments at the college office, so you had to go yourself," she explains. "You had to approach them with questions, they didn't really approach you." She stayed on top of all her application deadlines and requirements in the fall of her senior year.
As winter of her senior year turned into spring, however, her confidence began to falter. While friends were receiving college acceptance letters, Alyssa was getting nothing but rejections, not only from SUNY Albany but also from her safety school, SUNY Cortland. "Even my mom thought something was weird," she says. "It's not like I was applying to Harvard or anything." Finally, after the third rejection, Alyssa and her mother paid a visit to the college guidance office.
There they discovered what Alyssa describes as a "glitch" in her transcript. Her guidance counselor explained that the grades of another student, with significantly lower grades than Alyssa, were mistakenly entered onto her transcript. To make matters worse, by the time the mistake was discovered, it was too late to apply to other SUNY schools.
"I still don't really know why they never caught it," says Alyssa. Instead of going away to college, she enrolled at the City University of New York, and she bounced around to four different commuter campuses before finding one she liked. Now settled at Brooklyn College, where she is studying early childhood education, she still wonders whether things would have been different had she gone away to SUNY Albany.
Alyssa's experience is not unique. From the smallest high schools with graduating classes of less than 100 to the behemoths with more than 1,000 seniors, New York City public schools are struggling, with mixed results, to provide the college counseling services their students need. Given the gigantic caseloads, the enormous needs of the students--many of whom are poor and the children of immigrants--and multiple responsibilities of guidance counselors, it is easy to see how small but potentially fatal errors slip through. Alyssa doesn't blame her counselor, who has since left Midwood, and she is grateful for the solid education she received there. But she is frustrated by a system that so easily goes awry.
Nationwide, public school guidance counselors provide only an average of 38 minutes of college admissions advice per high school student, according to a recent U.S. Department of Education (U.S. DOE) guidance survey. Huge caseloads are a big part of the reason. The ratio in the nation's 100 largest public school districts is 455 to 1, with Los Angeles coming in at a staggering 612 to 1, according to the 2009 data provided by the U.S. DOE, the most recent data available at the national level. In comparison, New York City's caseloads were estimated at 493 to 1 in this federal dataset.
Looking at more up-to-date data, provided locally, the picture looks a bit better in New York City. The Center for New York City Affairs obtained personnel data provided by the United Federation of Teachers (UFT) for the past 12 years to examine citywide K-12 caseload trends and how caseloads varied between high schools. The ratio of students to licensed guidance counselors is currently 316 to 1 in grades K-12 in New York City's general education public schools, according to an analysis of the UFT data done by the Center. (This number excludes charter school guidance and enrollment numbers. See "Guidance Counselor Caseloads Have Improved," page 32.)
Analyzing 2012 numbers for the city's high schools, Center researchers found that the studentcounselor ratio varied significantly from school to school. The UFT provided a list that included the number and experience level of licensed guidance counselors for the 406 general education high schools listed in the city Department of Education's 2010-11 Progress Report dataset. Interestingly, 36 high schools did not have any licensed guidance counselor on staff. (UFT staff speculated that the schools might still be growing or using licensed teachers to provide guidance services.) More than half, 246 schools, had caseloads between 100 and 300 students per counselor. The caseload numbers were much higher in many places: 68 high schools had student to guidance counselor ratios of more 400 to 1. (See "Guidance Counselor Caseloads Vary Widely," page 31.)
Public high school guidance counselors spend only 22 percent of their time on college guidance, while their counterparts in private schools are able to dedicate 54 percent, according to a national survey by the College Admission Counseling Association. Other responsibilities include counseling students on job and personal needs, advising on high school coursework, testing students and teaching.
Guidance counselors in New York City face an even wider range of responsibilities that include scheduling, tracking attendance and looking out for students with excessive and unexplained absences. In schools without licensed social workers, guidance staff must provide counseling for emotional problems as well.
"That includes any of the behavioral issues, maybe meetings with parents, which you can imagine takes a lot of time and paperwork," says Omar Morris, a long-time college and career pathways program officer for New Visions for Public Schools, who is now at CollegeBound Initiative.
"It could include lunch duty. I kid you not. Some guidance counselors serve almost as APs [assistant principals] in their schools. It's not like there's one job. Schools have to be very creative in how they use their staff. It's quite possible that you can walk into any college advisors meeting and ask the counselors what their day-to-day jobs are, and you will get 20 different answers. But the one thing that would be clear is that each person wears 10 different hats."
College counselors interviewed over the last three years by Center researchers describe a long list of responsibilities that routinely take precedence over college-related duties. For example, designated college counselors teach classes (at Flushing International and the Academy of Urban Planning), record attendance (at Cypress Hills College Prep), create student schedules (at Pan American International), serve as social workers (at Bushwick School for Social Justice) and carry out miscellaneous administrative duties (at the Academy for Environmental Leadership).
"You go to bed with lists, and wake up with lists, on what needs to be submitted to colleges for each student," one counselor on the Bushwick campus explained. "You can make or break a kid's future by failing to turn in a piece of paper, or forgetting to submit a form online."
Compounding the difficulties is the fact that poor students, new immigrants, and those who are the first in their families to attend college need much more help than their middle-class peers.
"Students often feel that the process is so overwhelming and so stressful that they end up shutting down," says Carmen Pena, a former CollegeBound Initiative college counselor at East Side Community High School in Manhattan. "You have to reinforce it so many times for them to actually get it."
Many students don't have even a basic understanding of what it means to be prepared for college. The large majority of 10th graders responding to a survey conducted by the Center for New York City Affairs believed that simply graduating from high school--whatever their grades or coursework-- would be sufficient preparation for college. Of the 468 students polled, nearly half thought their grades from ninth and 10th grade classes wouldn't be included in their college applications. Eighty percent of the students surveyed do not have an immediate family member who graduated from college--and therefore cannot rely on their relatives' experience to help them. (See a summary of key survey results on pages 21, 22 and 28.)
In middle-income communities, the student's parents typically guide him or her through that process, and other relatives or family friends offer the benefit of their own experience. But poor students must take the responsibility on their own shoulders--or rely on their school's guidance counselors. This can be arduous, particularly if a student needs help applying to more competitive colleges, signing up for tests like the SAT or seeking financial aid. (See "Fearing the Federal FAFSA Form," page 36.)
"We do a lot of the heavy lifting," says Monique Darrisaw, who joined the Department of Education's school support structure two years ago after serving for years as principal of Academy of Urban Planning in Bushwick. "The teachers and the counselor pretty much register all the kids for the SAT. We give fee waivers for them. My teachers, sometimes they make baggies for them that have their ID cards, their pens, their TI-83 calculators. Some teachers have gone so far as to arrange cab rides, because sometimes when the kids register later they can't get to a closer school. Some teachers meet them here and travel with them. You can't always get 80 kids into Grover Cleveland, which is down the block, so some kids are going to other sites in neighborhoods they've never been to."
In many schools, the college application process typically begins--and at some schools, ends--by sitting a classroom of students down at a bank of computers and overseeing their online application to CUNY. Students need to input a Social Security number, which may involve a delay as they try to get that information from home. (It's at that point that some discover they're undocumented.) They can list six colleges within CUNY on their application, but may not know the difference between the schools or, for that matter, appreciate the distinction between a twoyear and four-year college. If they are low-income, they may qualify as SEEK (at CUNY) or EOP (Educational Opportunity Program, at SUNY) candidates, which improves their chances of being admitted with subpar GPAs and SATs, but the counselor needs to ensure they check the appropriate box on the form.
"Some kids are completely perfect candidates for HEOP [Higher Education Opportunity Program, for other colleges] or EOP," says Dion Reid, director of college counseling at the Young Women's Leadership School of East Harlem and a veteran counselor affiliated with CollegeBound Initiative, a college access group affiliated with Young Women's Leadership Academy. "But they won't ever know about it because they don't stumble upon it when they're going through this process by themselves and no one takes their hand and says, 'Hey, did you know about this? Did you know if you went here, you could do that?' And they end up at a school that's a school and a financial aid package that's a package, but it's not what it could be." Some students run out of steam after completing the college application and never get around to applying for financial aid.
"I've seen three types of students," he says. "There are the students that will never leave your office because they care so much. These top-tier kids are not going to be discouraged by the fact that they have to stand on line at CUNY with their income tax returns in order to have verification. There are the students in the middle. Their friends are going, they know they're going to go, they're just going to do things in their own time."
"And then there are the kids that want nothing to do with you," he continues. "They'll complain to their parents that their college advisor is bothering them too much. They'll turn and run the other way when you try to get them in a hallway. You might manage to get them to apply to college, to give you information, to do all the stuff while you have them in school, and then you say, 'Now, all you have to do is deal with this long line at John Jay and then go to school in September.' You'll have prepped them as much as possible and they'll get there and they'll be frustrated, they'll lack confidence. 'I'm not even going to do well in school anyway, why am I even standing on this line? Why am I fighting to get this from welfare when my mom is going to make me babysit anyway?'"
Claire Sylvan, executive director of the Internationals Network for Public Schools, which educate recent immigrants, agrees that when "kids show up, nobody is going to turn them down. It's the kids who don't show up that are more troubled. The kid who gets something in the mail and looks at it and freaks and just says, 'Ah, I'm going to get a job.' Or, 'I don't know how to do this, and I can't, and I am overwhelmed.'"
Even if a guidance counselor had the luxury of concentrating on college advising full time, it would still be a big job. According to a Department of Education "college action plan outline" recommended to all students considering college, a college application has six basic components: the application itself, including the application fee; a personal essay (if required); test scores like the SAT or ACT (if required); the high school transcript; teacher recommendations (if required); and the financial aid application, generally the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and, for those going to school in New York State, the TAP. In addition to these components, would-be college-bound seniors must gather documentation such as parent or guardian tax income forms, learn about student loans and investigate other scholarship sources.
The outline also suggests that New York City students apply to about five colleges each. Multiply this by a caseload of 200 or more students per counselor, and it becomes clear how mistakes are made-- and Alyssa DiFilippo's transcript fell through the cracks.
Faced with the endless onslaught of needs, many college counselors focus on what absolutely must happen. Like overwhelmed physicians in an ER, they practice triage, helping those students who are the highest achieving or simply the most demanding. "The guidance counselor would pick and choose who they knew would do well in college," said Reggie Leveille, who graduated from Midwood and went on to Brooklyn College. "I don't blame the college counselors, there just weren't enough of them. Too many kids and not enough of them to help us all."
Of course, the best college counselors don't just help students fill out the forms. They also forge relationships with college admissions offices--and advocate for their students individually. Sometimes a student seems unqualified on paper for a particular school, yet school staff know that he or she would excel there if given a chance. This is frequently the case with immigrant students, for example, who may have a high school transcript coded with many English as a Second Language classes and low English Regents scores, yet are entirely capable of handling the curriculum of a four-year college.
"A computer only looks at grades, transcripts and SAT/Regents scores," says Joanna Yip, a teacher and former counselor at one of the schools in the Internationals Network. "You need a college counselor who can advocate for students." College counselors can do this most effectively if they have good relationships with colleges and their admissions offices, and that requires years of networking. Such relationships can be cultivated by organizing college fairs at the school, arranging visits from individual representatives or going to the campuses to meet with admissions officers--trips for which few counselors have the free time.
Josh Steckel of the Brooklyn School for Collaborative Studies (BCS), a small school that serves students in grades 6-12, has assiduously courted college admissions officers, bringing them to his school for visits and, in turn, sending seniors to their campuses. His students have led tours of the school for the college officials, demonstrating both what makes them compelling applicants and what's special about BCS. "These visits have gone extremely well," he says. "Skidmore was so impressed by the students who gave the tour that their rep immediately invited the four guides on an in-depth, 'day in the life' program on the campus in November, travel expenses paid."
Hampshire College conducted student interviews on site, in BCS's library, and subsequently paid the way for three students to make an overnight visit. The Wheaton College rep covered the cost of train tickets for a group of students to stay overnight on the Massachusetts campus. Muhlenberg College in Pennsylvania agreed to host an overnight for 15 seniors, all expenses paid.
But many counselors, scrambling to complete applications and meet deadlines, simply don't have the time to cultivate those good relationships. Furthermore, Angela Reformato, a retired guidance counselor and a longtime UFT guidance leader, divides counselors into two camps--those who concentrate on processing paperwork and meeting deadlines, and those who "really follow a student throughout the application process, who will help students with the whole college process and write essay drafts with them and help them find recommendations."
In most cases, experts say, the distinction is a matter of time, not intention. "For the most part, I would say that the school counselors in New York City do a phenomenal job with what they've got," says Richard Alvarez, director of admissions for CUNY. "It's just that they don't have enough to do the level of counseling that needs to be done, particularly for this generation of college students."

"Wanting a program that looked like it was bordered in gold, I called WPD and a staffer went through all the designs and sent me many samples to choose from. I ended up selecting a color that was not on the custom color card, but was used in one of their designs. It come out exactly how I wanted it to. Design wise, a staffer took the time to take this design and give me other design choices- one of which I loved. I made numerous changes along the way and he responded immediately. Couldn't have had a better experience."
"Ordered these for my wedding in June. They turned our so lovely. Ordered them with black ink and with pearlescent paper. Going to add some sheer pink ribbon to dress these up even more! Very classy, clean and elegant. I received very quick and great service from WPD. Thanks for helping make my wedding day even more special!"
"I ordered cards with a photo on the front and when i folded them, part of our faces was on the crease of the fold. I called customer service immediately and she looked and my order and confirmed what I had said, she went ahead and order all new cards, next day shipped them to me, and removed the charge for original shipping! What could have been a disaster was handled wonderfully, great product and will definitely order again!"
"I customized this program with a custom color to match my wedding colors and chose an edge trim to make it really unique. They turned out perfect!"
"I purchased this card for my wedding thank you card. The picture quality is good and I prefer the matte finish, of this card, rather than a glossy finish. Everyone that received the card thought it was simply beautiful. The delivery time was EXCELLENT! I placed my order on a Saturday and I received my order on the following Thursday. I also contacted customer service, prior to placing my order, and the representative was very friendly and knowledgable. I will definitely order again from Wedding Paper Divas"
