The Fiverr Misconception
"You can't earn good money from fiverr selling at only $5 a pop!"
….are the cries from the population.
"You can if you sell enough. Look at McDonalds who sell burgers for $4!…"
….is the response of those who are a little more switched on.
Lets look at the situation from another perspective. Let's put on our opportunity spectacles and see through the eyes of a profitable businessperson who doesn't like to be a busy fool. Let's swing ourselves around to the other side of the desk.
If you want to profit from fiverr you do not have to participate amongst everyone to offer your own gigs.
Take a brief look at fiverr. Skim through every category and make a brief mental note of the variation of gigs and the sheer effort people are willing to put into these gigs for a pittance of $5.
You do not have to join the collective to scrape in these $5′s ($4 after Fiverr tax) in hope that they will accumulate into something hugely fruitful.
Everyone on fiverr is your workforce.
The proper money to be made from Fiverr is from a process known as arbitrage. This is simply buying and selling for more.
If a user is offering to do a personal portrait for $5 don't think to yourself "I could do the same because I have artistic talent", rather "I could build a website to sell this service for $500 pass the work onto this individual and net $495!"
Think Bigger! Think Wiser!

Profit from Fiverr!
"Why don't you offer your service on Fiverr? "
"I think you should put this crazy service on Fiverr, people will surely buy!"
These are generally the kind of sentences that are used when people talk about making money off the internet and profiting with Fiverr. Getting a profit from Fiverr is not really a big thing, getting a big profit from Fiverr would be big.
Essentially, Fiverr functions on the cost effective way to offer services. Where else would you find services for that cheap?
A person selling services on Fiverr in a bid to profit from Fiverr should keep a few things in mind.
- Absolutely quality
- Timely response
- Timely Delivery
- Customer Support
Even if one of the above is missing, the seller will see red!
Quality is the number one priority to run a successful business on Fiverr. The quality of your service should not be compromised for anything. You should always deliver the best of your abilities to your customer. This ensures that you have a good rating and you have repeat customers.
Responding to your potential customers three days after they send you a message means that you are not interested in them. A responsive seller will see more sales in the long run simply because he is there to help and assist his customers whenever they need him. This certainly doesn't mean that you need to be awake all the time! It just means that you have to be quick in replying.
Deliver late and you have almost lost your customer. Customers would love to have their work done earlier than expected. If you deliver early they would be happy, if you deliver at the time you promised them, they would still be happy. Always make sure that you deliver on time, one more step to get a long term customer and to profit from Fiverr in the long term.
Customer support, although highly similar to timely response, is still a bit different. Once a customer places an order, he would want to give you info as to how he wants things to be done. You will need to get that info from the customer and act on that. After the work is complete, you should go ahead and tell the customer that the work has been complete and you should certainly ask the customer if he needs any changes. Most customers will need small changes, some will not. In any case, it is wise to ask the customer if he needs any changes.
Quality, response, delivery and support are absolutely necessary if you are really in a bid to profit from Fiverr in the long run. You will need to build a reputation, as you build your rep, you shall be on your way to banking big from the revolution called Fiverr. Even if you miss one of the above important points, there is a very high chance that your business is on the verge of crashing if not crashed already! Customers are the key, get customers, talk to them and keep them happy.

Need Cash? Make it on The Internet
From the time the internet was born, there was always something new to learn. Be it facts, news, health or absolutely anything, the internet has it all. One fine day, the question came up; can you make money on the internet? Yes came the answer. Frankly yes, you can make money on the internet. But then, you don't really make money clicking ads all day, you don't make money by viewing silly web pages all day. You make money by selling your services or you make money by helping others sell their services, this again is a service so let's stop at selling services. The first thing you have to know when you get into your internet venture is that this is also a business. You will have both sides of the coin. You might see profits, you might see losses. Internet marketing is as risky as any other business. Keep this in mind and you will start off in the best way possible.
For starters, it is wise to offer services. In case you are good with article writing, you can offer an article writing service which can grow into a full-fledged business. You can also take the golden path of affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing, as it is termed is one of the best ways to make money on the internet. It certainly involves a lot of risk when compared to most online ventures but the profit potential is absolutely awesome. There have been people who have spent around $100 on advertising and they have gone on to make profits of over $1000. But, there are people who have spent $100 and lost it right away.
A lot of people advice you to go for search engine optimization when it comes to making money on the internet. They feel that the safest bet to make money online would be to go with search engine optimization as you don't spend a lot of money except for hosting and domains. The only thing which you will be spending is your time. Agreed, you need to spend some time to get things running, but you will be spending a lot of time on search engines and their algorithms. There are websites that are coughing up four figures everyday only through search engines, but they have been around for a very long time.
Building a reputation for a website takes quite a lot of time. In my opinion, you should consider investing small amounts in advertising on facebook and other advertising platforms and you should also go with search engine optimization for the long run. With affiliate marketing, the first question would be, what niche should I choose? The age old answer would be, "choose a niche you are passionate about." People don't share passions! Find a niche where there is scope for profit. Then find a product in the niche. Once you find the product, make sure that the product sells. Once you are sure about all these, you are on your way to make money on the internet!

The Fiverr Revolution
One website that has literally taken the word by storm is Fiverr.com. Fiverr uses a unique concept in which the seller sells for $5. The items being sold here are generally not items, but they are services. Although eBooks and other stuff are being sold on Fiverr, they certainly aren't as popular as some of the wonderful services that are being sold on Fiverr. Ever since Fiverr arrived, there were people who started to make money on Fiverr. You guessed it, they sold services. Fiverr hosts a variety of services. The services that are being sold there are normally accompanied by some really good reviews although quite a lot of them have a host of mixed reviews. One of the best ways to make money on Fiverr would be by offering internet marketing services. Let me term them in a simpler way, offer services that will help internet marketers. Services like article writing, article rewriting and article spinning are those services that are highly sought on Fiverr. Other internet marketing services that will help you to make money on Fiverr would be back links, website optimization and various design services.
People on Fiverr have made Fiverr a five digit business. With the number of sales they get per day, most of them have teams and offices to do the work. But then they did not get to that stage with ease. It took those Fiverr sellers at least a few months of hard work before they could get to the point where they were overloaded with work. Once that point came, it was almost no turning back as they constantly had work and that work had to be completed in a stipulated amount of time. The term making money from Fiverr had a new meaning when they started making all that money on Fiverr alone.
Once you've started your business, it is very important that you get some really good reviews. Reviews and ratings form an important part of building a solid business. To make money on Fiverr, you certainly need to have many positive reviews. These positive reviews will help you to get more customers in the future. Let me give you a nice example, I would not buy from a person who has a few positive reviews, I would buy from a person who has lots of positive reviews. Be warned that getting reviews will take time, it does not happen instantly. You need to have patience to get your reviews, but once those reviews come in, you will have more business than you can handle.
After you get a sizable number of gigs, your daily orders would only increase. It is at this point that you must be very careful. One should maintain a log of everything like transactions and dates so that he can verify them at a later stage to confirm that the gig was complete. Businesses have crashed because people couldn't manage the business well. One bad customer will damage your reputation, make sure that this doesn't happen and you are well on your way to make a lot of money on Fiverr.

In Demand Fiverr Gigs
Fiverr has grown in leaps and bounds since its inception. People first saw it as a decent idea, but it turned out to be the next big thing. With support pouring in from all corners of the world for this wonderful little beast, let's take a look at what the best Fiverr gigs are.
There are absolutely numerous Fiverr gigs on Fiverr; very few have a distinction of being one of the very best. It's not just the quality of the services being offered, it is also the uniqueness of the gig itself. There are a few gigs on Fiverr that deal with voice over services. If you have a good voice, you have a very good future on Fiverr. A lot of people are shy to let their voice take them to dizzying heights. In other cases, their voices might not be good enough to let people listen to them. In such cases, the best option for that particular person would be to hire a person who can provide voice over services. Fiverr has very few but wonderful people who offer their services. If you happened to have a good voice, you should certainly give this a try. Wait for a few days to have your first gig, once you get a positive rating, you are sure to get loads of offers in a very short period of time.
Another gig that has been doing well, that is doing well and that will be doing well is video marketing. Many people are camera shy. They prefer to stay away from the camera no matter what. They are left with no other option but to hire someone to be in front of the camera for them. Such gigs are one of the most sought after. People get tons of orders on such gigs and they have been doing pretty well over the past few months.
Program coding and code editing is also another famous part of Fiverr. Normally a coder or a code editor will cost you anywhere over $30-$300 and hour depending on his/her abilities. The coders usually have too much of work and yours is likely to be the last priority. With Fiverr, you have relatively new people such as students who offer gigs. Since computer science students are still learning things, they would be more than happy to sort out a glitch, add a piece of code or help you with your site in any possible way for a simple $5.
A rather unconventional but clever gig would be flyer distribution. Normally one would choose a local in the area, contact him through phone and set things up. If you are going the Fiverr way, all you need to do is send the seller the text of your flyer. The seller would then print them and distribute them, all for $5. This beats all the rates in the market. With the high volume, the seller sees profit. There sure is light at the end of the tunnel!

Nintendo's E3 conference has been the strongest so far, with only a few casual titles watering down their very strong offerings. A lot of classic franchises are getting new sequels, including the N64 classic GoldenEye. The E3 trailer for the new GoldenEye 007 showed of the game in action, with a lot of the levels almost identically resembling those from its predecessor.
Even more exciting was the game's local 4 player multiplayer, a beloved feature from the original that led to many a heated nerd rivalry. The game also features voice work from Daniel Craig, the menacing new Bond from Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace. The video we saw also featured a lot of the original multiplayer characters like Jaws and the impossible to hit Oddjob, though there's sure to be new ones. Nintendo's defintely catering to fans of the original GoldenEye, as the game will support Classic Controller Pro play, meaning you can play with a thumbstick just like the good ol days.
Nintendo seems to be banking pretty hard on fond memories of the original, as the game's reveal featured a video of an ecstatic "real life video game focus group" that went nuts at the news of a new GoldenEye game. While all the pieces are in place for a retro revival of the franchise, it faces an uphill battle against modern FPSes, a genre that has evolved a million times over since GoldenEye's heyday. We'll have to see if the grizzled champ can still go toe to toe with the rookies when the game releases this November.

I feel that since I added this goal, I have gotten much better at both listening and understanding. I still have issues, particularly when I'm frustrated. One part of this which seems to be drastically better is listening to my fiance when he is telling me something that he is really excited about. It was very easy to not pay attention to anything he would be saying because
1) he would be talking so fast
2) I wasn't nearly as excited
3) he was so adorable while doing this, that I sometimes paid attention to his mannerisms rather than his words.
Now, I make him slow down when he's talking too fast before I miss too much, and I (usually) can focus on what he's saying. I also need to make him slow down a lot less because he is more aware when he starts doing it. We both get a lot less frustrated because of this.

Samsung Smart Camera WB350F
Nikon D750
Sony Alpha 6000
Canon PowerShot SX280 HSstars
A new processor leads to less noise at higher ISOs and faster performance, and built-in...
You want a medium telephoto lens for your Canon dSLR, something with a constant aperture, solidly built with pro quality, yet light enough to carry on adventure to some faraway part of the world. You have looked at the f2.8 models but didn't think you could afford them or the Sherpa to carry them. The Canon EF 70-200mm f4 IS USM L lens might be just what you're looking for. Its light weight, professional quality, along with its practical focal range make the lens ideal for travel, expeditions, and photojournalism. It has Canon's EF lens mount, making it compatible with all of Canon's digital SLRs, full-frame and APS-C, as well as all Canon EOS film SLRs. The version is the same size as its non-IS sibling, only slightly heavier; its price is about 45 percent lower than the IS version's approximately $1,100 price tag, though. Along with the 70-200mm f4 IS USM L, Canon offers other professional L-series lightweight zooms, including the 24-105mm f4 IS USM L, and the 17-40mm f4 USM L.
Part of Canon's L series of lenses, offering professional grade durability, with its signature putty-colored finish.
Utilizes a ring-type USM (ultrasonic motor) for fast and quiet autofocusing.
Has a maximum aperture of f4 through the entire zoom range, and a minimum aperture of f32.
Circular aperture diaphragm for better blur characteristics when shooting at wider apertures. (The quality of rendering in shallow-depth-of-field is known as bokeh.)
When mounted an APS-C sensor-sized dSLR, such as the EOS 50D or the EOS Rebel XSi, it has a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 112 to 320mm.
Weighs 27.2 ounces, is 6.8 inches long and 3 inches in diameter.
There is a distance scale window, with scales in both feet and meters. For those who like to shoot infrared, there are special infrared focusing marks (displayed in red) for focusing at 70mm and 100mm. These are necessary because infrared light focuses at a slightly different point than daylight.
The lens is moisture and dust sealed, with an O-ring at the lens mount that creates an almost completely weather-proof seal when mounted on an EOS-1xxx series body.
Constructed with one fluorite lens element and two UD (ultralow dispersion) elements for maximum sharpness and clarity. Also, uses Canon's Super Spectra coatings to reduce ghosting and flare.
Only lead-free glass is used in its manufacture.
Canon's optical image-stabilization system, with up to four stops of correction. There are two IS modes, selectable via a switch on the lens barrel. Mode 1 corrects for movement along both the horizontal and vertical axes. Mode 2 turns off the horizontal correction to accommodate panning.
There is a two position focus-limiter switch. One sets the focus range from 1.2 meters (its closest focusing distance) to infinity and the other sets it from 3 meters to infinity. This is handy when you are shooting beyond 3 meters because this way the lens doesn't have to work so hard, and makes it less likely to accidentally focus on any objects in the immediate foreground.
It comes well accessorized with a lens hood and a soft drawstring pouch.

Face Shapes, What to Highlight and Contour
July 26, 2008 by MUA In Scrubs
Filed under makeup lessons
Knowing how to do makeup doesn't mean you get to apply the same formula to all clients. Getting acquainted with the different face shapes will guide you how to deal with your client's features and know which areas to contour and highlight.
These are the general categories of face shapes:
1. Round
Drew Barrymore
A round face is nearly as wide as it is long. The cheeks are full, which is the widest area of the face. The forehead and chin are rounded.
What To contour:
- temples
- cheeks: suck in the cheeks and find the hollows. sweep a darker shade into the hollows and down to the chin line
- jawline What to highlight: - forehead - underneath the eyes above the cheekbones, blend upwards
- center of the chin
2. Square
Isabella Rosellini
The forehead, cheeks and jaw have the same width.
What to contour:
- temples
- apples of the cheeks to help draw away attention from the corners of the square and make it appear more oval
- jawline
What to highlight:
- forehead
- underneath the eyes
- tip of the chin
3. Heart- Shaped
Jennifer Love Hewitt
Forehead is wide which tapers to a pointed or narrow chin, like an inverted triangle
What to contour:
- temples
- cheeks
What to highlight:
- chin, to broaden it
- jawline
- underneath the eyes, just above the cheekbones to draw attention to the center of the face
4. Oval
Tyra Banks
The forehead is wider than the chin . The cheeekbones are prominent and face narrows gently downwards from the cheeks. The length of the face is greater than its width, around 1 and 1/2 times. It usually needs no contouring and highlighting as this is considered to be the ideal shape, but you can play with it.
What to contour:
- apples of the cheeks and along the cheekbones
- temples
What to highlight:
- above the cheekbones near the outer corner of the eye
5. Long
Leelee Sobieski
This face is long and thin with a more pointed chin. Similar to an oval face but with higher cheekbones and high forehead.
What to contour:
- hairline
- lower cheeks
- chin
What to highlight:
- temples
- above the cheekbones
number of view: 27235

Shaleen Malhotra, the daring handsome cop of television who started off his Television journey as a Roadies participant, is now popular as Arjun in Four Lions' popular crime thriller show of the same name on Star Plus.
Describing himself as a fun and adventurous guy, Shaleen talks about what difference Arjun has made to his life
Tell us something about yourself?
I am a 25 year old guy who is born and brought in Delhi. I am a very adventurous, humorous, fun to be with, restless, energetic, dedicated, honest and a lazy guy.
How was your experience in Roadies?
I have got a lot of exposure from the show Roadies. I faced camera for the first time through this show so it was little difficult for me to speak in front of so many people. My camera fear was gone because of Roadies. Exposure, limelight and the confidence that 'I can do it and I am capable enough to do it' happened due to this show.
Why did you choose to play the role of Arjun?
I found the character of Arjun appealing. It's basically every man's dream to play a character like that. The character is aggressive, action packed, full of thrill and romance. All the aspects have been added into one character. It's a very different character that I have never seen on television ever before. Playing this kind of a character was a challenge and this challenge is what attracted me to play this character. I think any actor would die to do the character of Arjun .
How did you prepare for this role?
I have seen a lot of cop movies to watch the different types of body languages that the cops carry. I took training in martial arts and did some acting workshops too.
In what ways do you relate yourself to Arjun?
Arjun is very dedicated, honest, passionate and serious in his work. The loyalty, the passion, the hard work and the dedication of Arjun is in me.
You have done so many action and stunts for Arjun. Which one was the toughest to do?
The toughest one to do for me is to jump over the moving car and that too without using a harness. It was a one take shot and I was unaware about the speed of the moving car. The trick of doing a car stunt is to jump at the high end rather than jumping in front of the car.
Tell us about how the overall experience of playing Arjun has been?
Arjun has changed me as an actor. I am more confident now. It's been a very enjoyable journey and a very learning experience for me. I get to know about the various aspects of camera like its position and lighting.
How has Arjun changed your life?
From being a nobody in the industry to being known as Arjun is how it has changed my life. My journey started from Roadies to bagging the lead in a show. It's more of people's perception that has changed and I have come in the eyes of the people. They recognize and appreciate me and it's more important for an actor to get this. The confidence level has increased so much and I have become more disciplined.
What kind of bonding do you share with your team ETF off-screen?
The entire team is very co-operative and nice to work with. If ever asked to work with any team it will be this one for me. It was my first show and I tried to learn a lot from people around me. I spend a lot of time with them. Shree, Chotu and every actor has their own way of working and we learn from each other. We all share a wonderful rapport.
Any fondest memory on the sets of Arjun that you would like to share with us?
Every day is like a day with a fondest memory with them. The trip to Jaipur and Goa which happened last year for our shoot has been the fondest memory of all to cherish.
What's your fitness mantra?
Eat right, sleep right, drink right and exercise.
If you are offered a saas bahu saga in the future, would you take it up?
I am open to lot of roles. If I am offered such a role and it is a very strong character and a nice role then I will go ahead with it.
What about reality shows?
I would prefer hosting reality shows rather than being a participant in it.
Do you dream of Bollywood?
Of course! For every actor, Bollywood is the ultimate dream.
Having such an immense fan following, what would you like to say to the fans about their love for you?
It's unbelievable and it's hard for any person to express their feeling of receiving lots of love from the audience. I would request them to continue with the love and appreciations so that I can continue doing justice to my work.

Staphylococcus Aureus, often referred to simply as "staph", is a bacteria commonly carried on the skin or in the nose of healthy people. Staph can sometimes cause infections and some staph bacteria are resistant to antibiotics normally used to treat them. This is the category in which MRSA falls.
While most MRSA cases occur in the hospital setting, they can also cause infections in persons outside of healthcare facilities. MRSA infections in the community are usually manifested as skin infections, such as pimples and boils, and occur in seemingly healthy people.
The area of infection may be red, swollen, painful and/or have pus or other drainage. More serious infections may cause pneumonia, bloodstream infections or surgical wound infections.
People in the community who are at a greater risk for contracting MRSA in the school setting are athletes and children. Factors that contribute to the spread of MRSA skin infections include: close skin-to-skin contact, openings in the skin such as cuts or abrasions, contaminated items and surfaces, crowded conditions, and poor hygiene.
To prevent the spread of MRSA, practice and encourage good hygiene and hand-washing with soap and water or by using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, keep cuts and scrapes clean and covered with a bandage until healed, avoid contact with other people's wounds or bandages and avoid sharing personal items such as towels.
If a student or staff member has been identified as having MRSA, report the information to the Coordinator of Health Services first, who will notify the necessary cleaning staff. Students who have been diagnosed with MRSA will be excluded from school for 48 hours after starting antibiotics.

Murphy, Delehanty lead Lady Quakers
February 16, 2013
~ Sarah Murphy ~
BEXLEY, OH – Sarah Murphy and Liz Delehanty had stand out performances as the Wilmington women's indoor track team competed the Rick Meindl Invitational Saturday.
Delehanty (Euclid, OH/Villa Angela-St. Joseph's) brought home the lone victory over the women's team, winning the pole vault with a vault of 10'0".
Murphy (West Liberty, OH/West Liberty Salem) was the lone women's runner to score in three events. She was third in the 500 meter run with the time of 1:24.63, fifth in the 200 meter dash in the time of 28.11, and was part of the 4x200 relay team that finish third.
"I thought both teams performed well with one week to go before (the) conference (meet)," said head coach Ron Combs. "It was nice to get a win on the men's side of things. I thought we had looked down the last two weeks so it was nice to see the team build some momentum and gain some confidence in the lead up to the OAC Meet."
In the 1,000 meter run, the Quakers went 1-2 as junior Alek Erwin (Springfield, OH/Northeastern) won the event with school record time of 2:33.69. It was also the fastest indoor time in the OAC this season. Junior Brad Kline (Circleville, OH/Circleville) was second in 2:39.28.
Senior Mason Metts (Pomeroy, OH/Meigs) won the shot put for the third time this indoor season with a toss of 53'3". He added a second place finish in the weight throw with a toss of 18.39 meters.
The 4x200 meter relay team of sophomore Derek Kilgo (Charlotte, N.C./North Royalton), junior Nate Godby (Goshen, OH/Goshen), sophomore Jake Sydnor (Batavia, OH/Clermont Northeastern) and freshman Jeremy Duncan (Cincinnati, OH/Moeller), in their first meet as a quartet, won the event in 1:32.51 - edging the Heidelberg team by a tenth of a second.
Kilgo, Godby and Sydnor joined sophomore Jake Simpkins (Germantown, OH/Valley View) to win the 4x400 meter relay with the time of 3:27.56. Simpkins added a second place in the mile run. Both relay victories were the season-best times for Wilmington.

I'm not going to lie, getting dressed this morning started off with a struggle. I stared at my six things for 20 minutes or so with no ideas. I've already worn all six pieces at this point, and it's time to get really creative. Then, like magic, I realized -- duh! -- I can wear my LBD as a top. I layered my linen A-line skirt over it, and accessorized like so:
• Black and white leather belt -- a perfect match of color (scored at a thrift store)
• A strand of pearls (a gift from mom)
• A white flower ring from Forever 21 (from seasons ago)
• Inge Christopher Aegean Oversized Flap Clutch ($228 at CoutureCandy.com)
• Merona Maribel Peep-Toe Wedge Shoes ($26.99 at Target)
I hate to discriminate, but this is my favorite outfit so far!

Dáil Éireann - Volume 492 - 09 June, 1998
Written Answers. - Prison Drug Treatment Services.
Mr. Stanton Mr. Stanton
212. Mr. Stanton asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the place of detention or incarceration under his remit where those incarcerated can avail of drug treatment services; the number who availed of these services over the past 12 months; the type of service offered; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13526/98]
Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. O'Donoghue) John O'Donoghue
Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. O'Donoghue): Treatment for drug addicted offenders is available in all prison institutions as part of the general medical services available to all inmates. Any offender who is willing to make a real effort to stop abusing drugs and who shows the necessary commitment and motivation will be supported by appropriate medical intervention and therapeutic counselling. It is unfortunately the case that despite the availability of the treatment [210] options many offenders continue to fail to grasp the opportunities provided to address their addiction.
The majority of offenders with drugs problems are located in institutions in the Dublin area and in particular in Mountjoy Prison. During 1997, following medical assessment, approximately 1,650 inmates in Mountjoy Prison received the standard 14 day drug detoxification programme in the prison.
The drug treatment unit has been in operation in Mountjoy Prison's health care unit since July 1996. This programme is operated by the medical personnel in the prison and is aimed at weaning addicts off drugs by means of gradually reducing dosages of substitutes such as methadone. The programme is modelled on similar hospital based units in the community. Over 120 inmates have been admitted to the drug treatment unit since it opened.
There are a number of options open where inmates have completed the detoxification programme in the drug treatment unit. They can continue to serve their sentence in the general prison population; if they are considered suitable they can be granted temporary release to continue treatment with an outside agency or they may transfer to the drug free unit.
The drug free unit is in operation at the training unit, which is adjacent to but separate from the main Mountjoy Prison and has accommodation for 96 prisoners. This facility accommodates prisoners who do not have a background of drug abuse in a totally drug-free and secure environment within the prison system. It also provides a sympathetic, yet closely monitored setting in which those prisoners who are in the process of coming to terms with their addiction and who have achieved stable drug-free status can serve out their sentences in an environment free from the temptations and risks associated with illicit drugs. The regime in the drug free unit also provides inmates with valuable opportunities in the form of a wide range of work and training related activities to assist in the rehabilitation process. In order to address a perceived shortfall in the counselling services available to recovering addicts the Eastern Health Board has recently undertaken to seek to appoint a suitable person from their existing complement of addiction counsellors to be based in the training unit. It is hoped that this appointment will be made during the summer.
Prisoners in both the Mountjoy treatment facility and the drug free unit are closely monitored by regular and random urine testing. This testing is done on a voluntary basis.
The medical treatment of drug addicts, in common with the provision of all medical services in the prison system, is co-ordinated by the Director of Prison Medical Services. The director liaises regularly with the health boards to ensure a level [211] of primary health care for prisoners which is equivalent to that available in the community. Developments in medical services for drug addicts in the community are closely monitored with a view to their application in prisons where practicable.

Ebm-papst's new 55-mm EC-i motor (pictured) with integrated intelligence is said to offer significantly lower noise and less heat generation than conventional a.c. motors. The new fan types based on this motor design can reportedly be installed in any mounting position, opening up a wide range of possible applications. The customer can simply connect the integrated electronics in the motor directly to the 230 V a.c. mains.
According to the company, the new EC-i air movers are optimally adapted to the diverse applications in building ventilation, air-conditioning, and refrigeration.
The company has also developed a new electronic control that offers boiler and water heater OEMs the opportunity to use an ebm-papst premix gas blower without changing their existing temperature control supplier. The new UGB control converts up to four different variable or discrete analog signals into a PWM signal that controls the speed of the gas blowers for staged or modulating burner operation.

This week, Statistics Canada released the latest horrifying report on the state of physical activity in Canada. The findings from the 2007-2009 Canadian Health Measures Survey, show that neither kids nor adults come anywhere close to meeting even the most modest recommendations for daily physical activity.
Thus, based on actual measurements of physical activity using sophisticated accelerometric devices, only 5% of Canadian adults and children meet the recommended levels for vigorous physical activity per week.
And now comes the surprise: overweight and obese kids and adults are only marginally (if at all) less active than their "normal" weight counterparts.
Specifically, overweight and obese girls aged 6 to 19 years have exactly the same mins of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) as girls who are neither overweight or obese (between 44 and 48 mins per day). Only for boys is there a discernible relationship between activity and BMI in that overweight boys have 14 mins and obese boys have 22 mins less of daily activity than "normal" weight boys, who accumulate around 65 mins of MVPA per day.
In adults, likewise, there was an apparent relationship between MVPA and BMI levels, but the differences in actual minutes was rather modest.
Overweight men aged 20 to 79 accumulate 9 mins less of MVPA per day and obese men accumulate 16 mins less of MVPA per day than the 35 mins measured in "normal" weight men.
Overweight women aged 20 to 79 accumulate 5 mins less of MVPA per day and obese women accumulate 12 mins less of MVPA per day than the 25 mins measured in "normal" weight women.
Although the casual observer may look at these numbers and conclude that yes indeed overweight and obese individuals are (albeit modestly) less active than "normal" weight folks, this conclusion would be plain wrong.
Firstly, accelerometers measure acceleration or intensity of movement (which is translated into steps), but step-for-step moving a heavier body mass requires more effort and work. Therefore, simply looking at the number of daily mins or steps without correcting for the extra weight that is being moved, is simply misrepresentation of the actual work done. Rather, I would actually interpret these findings as demonstrating that overweight and obese Canadians are as, if not more, physically active than the skinny folk, who effortlessly clock in their seemingly higher numbers. (In fact, I would for once love to see the buff personal trainers in Village on a Diet put on 200 lb "fat suits" and run up the hill in Taylor – I would not be surprised if they had to stop for a quick vomit half way up the hill).
Secondly, these data do not provide any insight into causality or consequences. Thus, for example, many of the overweight and obese adults may well have physical and/or mental health issues that make MVPA so much more difficult: back pain, arthritis, sleep apnea, depression, asthma, exertional dyspnoe, etc. So looking at averages in this population, without taking into account that many overweight and obese individuals would need to struggle far harder than their "normal" weight counterparts to achieve the same number of mins or steps, may actually underestimate the fact that many overweight and obese individuals may well beat their skinny counterparts handsdown in terms of physical activity.
While in kids, medical reasons for the marginally lower MVPA may not be relevant, mental health and emotional issues like self-esteem, body image, weight-based bullying, and discrimination may be important barriers to putting in as many minutes of MVPA as their "normal" weight counterparts. As these factors traditionally are a much greater deterrent to physical activity in girls than in boys, I am in fact amazed, that overweight and obese girls are as active (while actually doing more work because of the extra pounds that they carry around) as their "normal" weight peers.
Thirdly, if we convert the rather modest differences in MVPA levels taking into account the increased effort required to move higher body weights, we would find almost no difference in actual calories spent in activities to account for any difference in body weights.
Thus, to me at least, these data pretty much blow to pieces the widely held bias that overweight and obesity can be largely explained by lack of activity or that overweight and obese individuals are less physically active (read "lazy") than "normal" weight individuals.
Indeed, it is exactly the reporting of these kind of data in the context of obesity, that serve only to reinforce stereotypes: obese people are obese because they are lazy and a good kick in the butt will solve the obesity epidemic.
In light of these data and the tremendous negative emotional and physical impact of weight bias, I stongly believe that discussing inactivity (or exercise) in the context of obesity is not only obfuscating the issues but also a major distraction from addressing the real causes of the problem.
This should in no way imply that the shockingly low activity levels of ALL Canadians (young and old, male and female, slender and obese) should not be cause for alarm given the innumerable health benefits of physical activity and the increasingly recognised health risks associated with sedentariness. In addition, these comments should also in no way imply that increasing physical activity and sensible exercise "prescriptions" are not important prevention or treatment strategies for weight management.
It is, however, hightime to reframe the discussion of inactivity and sedentariness as a discussion about fitness and health risk in general rather than as a discussion on obesity.
Continuing to link the necessary discussion about inactivity to the problem of obesity is not only scientifically unfounded but, by dangerously and unfairly reinforcing stereotypes (not reflected in the actual data), may well do more harm than good when it comes to tackling both the epidemic of obesity and the epidemic of sedentariness.

Arya, I am surprised … by your surprise and misinterpretation. When you say "overweight and obese kids and adults are only marginally (if at all) less active than their "normal" weight , the differences in actual minutes was rather modest" I am not agree. Overweight and obese and mostly HALF active than normal weight, which is important because it is nearly 50% of the recommend 30min of moderate activity: " Overweight women aged 20 to 79 accumulate 5 mins less of MVPA per day and obese women accumulate 12 mins less of MVPA per day than the 25 mins measured in "normal" weight women" In fact, bith normal weight and obese are not active enough

@ Yoni: (but still would like to read your post on this)
@Paul: You are right – ALL Canadians are inactive and need to do more. I just don't think that if you look at activity levels as work done or calories burnt that there is much difference between "normal", overweight, or obese Canadians – hence my comments.

January 21st, 2011 at 1:10 pm
Very interesting post! One point I'm hoping you can clarify:
You have argued in the past (I think) that obesity levels are plateauing, and that in general, those who are susceptible to obesity are now obese, while those who are not susceptible remain lean. Doesn't this argument imply that everyone, regardless of body weight, is not exposed to more or less the same environment (within reason of course)? If that's the case, then I'm wondering if we'd expect to see differences in PA between lean and obese kids at present, since the differences in body weight could have more to do with their susceptibility to obesity than anything else, given that their actual behaviours are relatively homogeneous (for example, the sedentary behaviour is very homogenous at the moment, making it pretty difficult to tease anything out).
The fact that there is no difference between lean and obese kids now, when physical activity levels are likely at historical lows, and sedentary levels are at historic highs, doesn't seem as important in determining the etiology of the obesity epidemic as the historic trends in these variables (of which the data is pretty weak, but no weaker than diet).
I'm not saying that exercise is driving the boat on this, but I'm skeptical about the amount we can really read into this one x-sectional paper.
Arya M. Sharma, MD says:
January 21st, 2011 at 1:38 pm
@Travis: absolutely, it is well possible that the overall reduction in physical activity may play some role in the right shift in the bell curve of weight distributions, and getting everyone moving more may eventually lead to a left shift of this distribution (although I am not holding my breath on this one).
My issues are not with whether or not activity is important for health or to reduce the risk of obesity.
My issues are solely with the misrepresentation of these findings as reinforcing the stereotype that overweight and obese people are less physically active, when in fact they may well be expending more effort (and calories) than their "normal" weight counterparts.
I would have liked to see a clear statement both in the abstract and in the discussion of these findings emphasising for the reader that these finding DO NOT show that overweight and obese individuals are any less active than "normal" weight individuals.
I see this as a missed opportunity to correct that stereotype, which for all the reasons we heard at the recent Weight Bias Summit, are extremely counterproductive and hurtful.
BTW, you are right with regard to eating – I am sure that if we had exact numbers on this and corrected for socio-economic class and other factors, we would probably find that overweight and obese people on average are NOT eating more junk food, drinking more pop, or eating fewer fruits and vegetables (my guess is that their diets are no better or worse than everyone elses diets).
Here again one needs to make adjustments for the higher energy requirements of obese individuals – at a stable weight larger people need more calories because they are larger so simply saying obese people eat more (even if this was the case) without correcting for their increased requirements would also be a wrong conclusion.

Excellent article. I wonder what the differences would be if activity was measured not in terms of "accelerometry" but actual exertion. I've read that Heart Rate is the best predictor of effort and calories burned during exercise. I, for one, can get a pretty good heart rate going simply by hauling my 228 pounds up a hill at a walk. Perhaps a thinner person would have to move a lot quicker to attain the same heart rate (and expend the same amount of energy).

Dr. Sharma,
You make some very interesting points in your notes. I am just curious then, what do you think contributes to the obesity epidemic in Canada, the US, Italy, Australia…..??
I do agree that it is not just those who are considered as overweight or obese not engaging in physical activity, but I do think that physical inactivity is a component to their condition. Like you point out, their weight creates more work for them. They may suffer from back problems, arthritis, depression, asthma and exertional dyspnea, but what came first, the chicken or the egg?
Whether nature or nurture or both, there are many predisposing factors to obesity.
The resolution, in my eye, lies within primary prevention, and this begins early.
Childhood obesity is a strong predictor of adult obesity. G Plourde in 2006 (Canadian Family Physician) reveals that 33% of obese preschool children remain obese as adults and therefore there is a need to focus preventative measures on young children.
Lobstein, Baur and Uauy (2004) reveal the most wanted topic for continuing eduction in the USA is pediatric obesity. This finding has resulted in a number of published practice guidelines, but again many studies reveal that primary care providers do not follow the guidelines. The majority of excuses for not using the guidelines are: lack of time and a sense of discomfort/lack of confidence in speaking to parents about their child being at risk for or being overweight.
We need to stop making excuses and move forward, educating parents about the risks of childhood obesity, contributing factors, and provide resources to the individual barriers that are identified in the interview.
And lets face it, it is not difficult to see what contributes to this epidemic: the majority of Canadians work very hard, we run out of time and energy to take care of ourselves – we eat convenient food, skip the gym, feed the kids, clean the house and back to work.
The Ontario Medical Association (2009) reveals that obesity costs Ontario 2.2-2.5 billion dollars each year (direct and indirect costs).
Something needs to be done!

I have my theories about the obesity epidemic that I have written on. I am even wondering about the extreme amounts of MSG that is being poured into our food–almost every processed item has it. I was in shock, when I learned that it is a known FACT that rats are fattened up purposefully with MSG, well what is happening to the population when all the food except cook from scratch items is full of this stuff?
Years ago I wrote this article too about the causes of the obesity epidemic.
Something is happening to people's bodies, beyond just calories in calories out, and failed will-power.

The low fat/high carb, insulin increasing diet that has been pushed for the last half century is the real cause of obesity. Ansel Keys 7 country study, which called diet fat the cause of heart problems, in fact had 22 countries. He threw out every country that did not support his ideas. In fact the increase in sugar and grains in the diet were the cause of heart problems.
As a result of this, even though there was never any evidence to support it, a low fat/high carb diet has been recommended. The same diet used to fatten livestock. Also we have switched away from real fats to chemially produced vegetable fats that no one should be eating. The result of this diet has been increased obesity, heart attacks, strokes, diabetics, depression, AdHd in children and infertility.
However, there are economic reasons for many of the so called experts to keep recommending the low fat/high carb death diet. It is time to put the health of Canadians ahead of the economic interests of a few people.
While there are some people who can do well on a low fat diet, the same as there are some people who can smoke heavy and drink all their lives, it is not a healthy diet in any way.

Each Judo match begins with the ceremonial bow between the two contestants, after which each grabs the other's jacket collar and sleeve. The objective in a Judo match is to score an ippon (full point), or waza-ari (almost ippon). The competition is ended once such a score is obtained. Judo training has many forms for different interests. Some students train for self-defense while others train for competition. Others will study the traditional art and forms (kata). Still others practice Judo simply for fun. Black belts are expected to learn all of these aspects of Judo.
What is Jujitsu? Ju-Jitsu, which means "Gentle Art" is a system of combat whereas a smaller person may defeat a person of greater physical stature. The term "Gentle Art" in no way implies that Ju-Jitsu is a gentle, dainty art. Indeed, Ju-Jitsu was the primary unarmed combat method of the Samurai and could devastatingly brutal on the field of battle.
The term "Gentle Art" is really a description of the principles and techniques which are the foundation of the art. A more accurate translation of "Ju-Jitsu, would be "Way of Flexibility". The smaller person cannot rely upon brute force and strength to overcome someone who is bigger and stronger. The smaller person must instead use his opponents strength and momentum to add to his/her own technique to gain victory in combat. When the opponent pushes, the defender would pull. When pulled, the defender would push. This is the principle of "Ju no ri" as taught in Ju-Jitsu.
Ju-Jitsu, because it was designed as a combative art, relies upon many techniques, some of which are similar to those found in other Martial Arts like Karate, Aikido and Judo.
Atemi-Waza (striking techniques)
Nage-Waza (throwing techniques)
Kansetsu-Waza (joint manipulation)
Shime-Waza (strangulation or choking techniques)
Katami Waza (ground techniques),
Vital and nerve point striking and manipulation
* Focus, mental concentration and energy
* Strength, balance, flexibility, and coordination
* Patience and self confidence
* Stress reduction

Pork 'Haslet' Luncheon Meat
Maybe it's not the time to be writing about another pork sausage, with the pork futures market in free-fall, due to the outbreak of flu in Mexico from the H1N1 virus. Commonly called swine flu, even though the link to pigs has yet to be established. The FT reports today that: "The Mexican virus appears to contain porcine, avian and human genetic components", so no more chicken either folks!
The fact is that eating properly cooked pork is not going to give you 'swine' flu, even in the very unlikely event that the meat contains the virus.
Anyway, back to the luncheon meat. It's not my recipe, but the idea of my online buddy John at the sausagemaking.org forum, however I claim ownership to at least part of it as it's based on my 'every day' sausage blend.
...and the recipe? Simplicity itself - just replace the rusk in this recipe with 155gm of breadcrumbs, and increase the water to 200gm. Add 1.5gm of marjoram, or other herbs of your choice prior to stuffing.
I poached mine in a large collagen casing for about 1½ hours at 75 - 80°C until the internal temperature was 72°C. John, I now notice, cooked his in the oven at 180°C in a fibrous casing (large collagen casings aren't suitable for oven use). The resulting sausage is a sort of mild tasting haslet:
...and the verdict? Well to be honest, next time I think I'd either base it on this Lincolnshire sausage and cook it as a meatloaf, or just make the traditional haslet recipe from my 1938 copy of "Handy Guide for Pork Butchers"!
There are nine comments
I've recently 'come-back' to Haslet after the best part of 3 decades believing I didn't like it. I can't remeber what it was that put me off this East Mids delicacy, but it's always nice to expand the sandwich filling range.
I must say, I was mad-keen on cooking up a bit of Haslet, but sometimes it's better to leave it to the experts. God bless Butchers, and all who mince in them…
I once asked a retired butcher what the difference is between a faggot and a haslet recipe. His reply? "You put more stale meat pies in the haslet!"
The shrinkage will either be from loss of fat, or loss of liquid. Both will be dependent on the recipe and method used. If it's not to long, can you reply with the recipe etc. If it's more convenient, you could post it at forum.sausagemaking.org – you'd get a broader range of replies/advice there and I'm conscious of the fact that a recently retired Lincolnshire butcher has recently registered as a member. If not, I'm happy to help.
hi, when i lived in uk i was able to get liver sausage from the local butcher an it was very taste, do you have the recipe if could you put it up on the website, thanks
Hi Jon, I've got recipes for them in a book, somewhere.
Was it the type that you can slice, or the sort that you scoop out and spread like beef-paste?
After Christmas, I'll develop a recipe and full details for a Liver sausage. In the meantime there's details of how to make it here:
There's also a number of recipes for it on that website, as well as those here:
I like the look of this one:
I hope this helps.

Montenegro taught us a lesson, England striker Wayne Rooney admits
England goalscorer Wayne Rooney admitted Montenegro had made the Three Lions pay for not taking numerous first-half chances in the sides' 1-1 draw in Podgorica.
Rooney scored the opening goal inside the first ten minutes of the game, and England had opportunities to extend their lead before a rousing comeback by Montenegro in the second half saw them equalise.
"It was a lesson for us today second half, we've got to learn how to see out these games a bit better," Rooney told ITV's Gabriel Clarke.
"We knew it was going to be tough second half, we knew they'd come and have a go and they did," he added.
"A point's probably the fair result, credit to Montenegro."

Hello Doctor,
I am a 34 year old woman, generally perceived by new people I meet to be age 28, so I feel that I am aging well, but I have what I believe is the beginning of malar mounds. I have observed the problem becoming more noticeable over the past 10 years. I am still using makeup to camouflage it, and people say they never notice it, but it is really starting to bother me. What I want to know is, what can I do at this early stage to improve it, or lessen the progression of the problem? It's nowhere near the stage which would require surgery, but I don't want to wait for it to get that bad.

Seasoned investment professionals, sector-dedicated analysts, and creative thinkers are at the heart of our business. Get their perspective on today's market climate.
Global Research: Hungary
ERIC FINE: It looks like there's been a change in sentiment about Hungary in the market and among us. We had some exposure there and we have since been reducing it. A lot of it was due to what you learned on the trip. Could you please tell us about that?
NATALIA GURUSHINA: I think the shift in my outlook for Hungary has been fairly dramatic and I would begin by saying that the programs that were implemented by the central bank and the government have been pretty aggressive. The central bank cut interest rates by 125 basis points in the past month. The government, together with the central bank, implemented fairly aggressive and large-scale funding for lending programs but I have yet to see the results in terms of stronger growth in Hungary.
It seems to me that if growth does not materialize and the activity indicators continue to be below expectations, it will continue to weigh on the Forint, which might prompt a fairly rapid change in monetary policy. I don't think the market is pricing that in fully at the moment.
Another issue that I find quite concerning is the government tried to push perhaps an artificially lower inflation rate by aggressively slashing utility prices. This is likely to a) invite certain policy action by the European Union and b) not promote foreign direct investment into Hungary. I would say that these two issues are key from the macroeconomic point of view. I would also like to mention that Hungary is facing elections in April and we might see some political noise.
FINE: After you came back we talked and have since reduced all of our local currency exposure. We have some hard currency exposure there. It is a good credit and I think the risk of default is extremely low so they deserve the ratings on the hard currency side. Hungary's local currency bonds do have external vulnerabilities caused by the market's choosing to pick on countries with external vulnerabilities. Valuations are obviously important but because Hungary is such a heavily foreign-owned market it almost doesn't matter whether the valuations there are good as investors can change their minds quickly and that's not necessarily a good thing.
