2014 Fed 100
Name: Charles Bartoldus
Title: Senior Director of Information Sharing and Safeguarding, National Security Staff
Agency/Company: Executive Office of the President
Detail man. Converting a presidential directive on information sharing into detailed policy sounds a bit like herding cats. The effort included coordinating 16 teams, each focused on a strategic priority that involved federal agencies and state, local, tribal and private partners. Finalizing the Strategic Implementation Plan for the National Strategy for Information Sharing and Safeguarding meant Bartoldus had to confront long-standing policy and technology challenges while dealing with the pressures of sequestration. He did it all by engaging stakeholders and crafting a policy that addresses the fast-evolving threat picture.

Big data was at the forefront of discussions across the Fortune 500, as more organizations become increasingly connected to their prospects and customers. Here's a look back at the biggest trends of 2012, and how web analytics will evolve in 2013.
Around this same time last year, we were discussing the inevitable increase and appreciation of data-driven decision-making with respect to web analytics insights and back-office data insights. This year surprised many of us, with "big data" coming to the forefront of discussions across the Fortune 500, as more organizations become increasingly connected to their prospects and customers.
One of the biggest trends of 2012 had to be the explosive respect garnered by "big data" across pretty much all industry verticals. Several companies made significant progress into garnering attention in "big data" such as SAP, Oracle, Salesforce.com, Eloqua, Google, IBM and Adobe.
This appreciation is a fantastic opportunity for the analytics industry because it allows analysts to break free from the limitations of any one given data source and makes room for creativity process and measurement strategy in the pursuit of business intelligence.
This year marked the beginning of the end of siloed analysis, which will translate into a greater need for analysts to wear multiple hats and diversify their soft skills in order to leverage and manipulate online/web and offline/back-office data.
Not surprisingly, the rise of "big data" also gave rise to a complementary appreciation and increased need for "data scientists." For those of us in the industry, this is where I think the greatest career growth opportunities will likely arise.
One of the key capabilities that distinguish a data scientist from an analytics expert is a deep understanding of statistics and probability, according to Econsultancy. Probability is an important concept to watch within the next 6-12 months, as the next logical step in the evolutionary ladder is optimization based on predictive analytics. The combination of all of these concepts such as "big data", measurement science, and data science trends makes predictive analytics my hottest trend to watch in 2013.
In terms of pure web analytics evolution, this year seemed to carry over many of the existing capabilities that were launched towards the tail end of last year, allowing reporting capabilities and data insights to show positive return on previous investments in tools. For instance:
Unlike the baby steps mentioned above, the one glaring exception of a technology that is primed for a blowout year in 2013 is Tag Management. This year, many analytics vendors started offering their tag management solutions for free in an attempt to decrease the interest in vendors such as Ensighten, Tealium, Tagman... the list goes on. Even Google is in on the action! Keep an eye on tag management in 2013, as we can likely expect several new start-ups and significant mergers and acquisitions in this area.
If there's one thing I want to leave you with for the New Year, its optimism.
The good news for the analytics industry as a whole is that our concerns over the privacy debate seem to be fizzling out. That's not to say we don't still have significant work ahead to protect our children and personal information, but at least the industry has come to terms with understanding the regulative/legislative values and aren't panicking anymore. Governments and solution providers, especially in the EU, have come to terms with what it means to be compliant and are working on very creative solutions that should provide a nice compromise for 2013.

Latest Tobacco cessation Stories
An Extensive UCSF Study Questions Previous Study's Analytic Methods San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 05, 2012 A popular smoking cessation medication has
A popular smoking cessation medication has been under a cloud of suspicion ever since the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) published a study in July 2011 reporting "risk of serious adverse cardiovascular events associated with varenicline."
A major research trial to test the effectiveness of extra support for smokers calling an NHS quitline - on top of what is already offered by the service - has found the additional help does not improve success rates for quitting the habit.
Aside from the obvious health issues, smoking can be an expensive habit and yet millions of smokers continue to set light to thousands of dollars a year to support this addiction.
A nicotinic drug approved for smoking cessation significantly improved the walking ability of patients suffering from an inherited form of ataxia, reports a new clinical study led by University of South Florida researchers.
Good news for those who are trying to quit smoking and drinking, there may be a way to kill two birds with one stone. Varenicline, an effective smoking-cessation medication, may also reduce drinking. However, the means by which it might reduce drinking are still unclear.
- An uxorious, effeminate, or spiritless man.
- A timorous, cowardly fellow.

Special Correspondent
Locals urge him to take up illegal mining with government
Kolkata: West Bengal Governor Gopalkrishna Gandhi on Wednesday visited Asansol, where mine fires broke out on January 1, 2008. The blaze has now been controlled. He also went down into a mine.
Mr. Gandhi spent over two hours in the area going first to the Benali coalfields and later to Satgram. The fires first broke out in these two areas before spreading to Nimcha, triggering panic among residents.
An oil pipeline of the Indian Oil Corporation in the vicinity had also caused concern to the IOC and the Eastern Coalfields Ltd. authorities alike.
The fires were reported from mines abandoned since nationalisation. At some places the coal seams from surfaces, where the coal mafia had illegally extracted coal, caught fire while elsewhere, the methane trapped underneath caused fires that rose up to 50 metres high at places.
Sources at the ECL, under whose command area these mines are located, told TheHindu that besides visiting the fire-affected areas the Governor went down into a 125-metre-deep mine 'Kunustori.'
He went to the nearest working seam and received a first-hand version of the working.
He interacted with the local people who urged him to take up the issue of illegal mining with the government as also issues such as rehabilitation.
Commenting on the mine fires, West Bengal Chief Secretary Amit Kiran Deb told The Hindu, that the government had suggested to the Centre that it be handed over 27 such abandoned mines where mining activities were found to be unviable by the ECL.
He said these mines would be given to the State-owned Minerals and Metals Trading and Development Corporation, which would run them on the public-private partnership mode using new technology.
Economic activity
Mr. Deb said the mining activities in Purulia, Burdwan and Bankura, though illegal, provide economic activity to 50,000 people who could be employed once the government takes over some of the mines.
"It is a socio- economic problem," he said.

Re: LED HDTVs
After my 27 inch LCDTV died back in January when 3 out of 5 backlight LCD inverters blowed out and here was no replacement part, I went to Comet to looked around LCDTVs, LEDTVs and Plasma TVs and noticed the picture quality on LEDTVs are about the same as Plasma TVs. I noticed Plasma TVs released alots of heats 3 feets in front of me and put my hand on the screen, they are very hot and the power consumption is between 250W to 350W so really not very good place to put in bedroom and not suitable to sit in front for PC usage for all day.
I saw Sony and Samsung 32 inch LEDTVs but either are cost £899 that I cant afforded and on the other side saw Sharp LC32LE600E on sale for £449 that was in my price range then went home and checked John Lewis site that offer 5 years warranty instead of 3 years warranty at Comet then bought one at Glasgow branch.
I am very pleased with Sharp LEDTV, the picture quality is much brighter and sharper than Sony 32 inch LCDTV in other bedroom dad bought last year and did very good job displayed 1080p at native resolution 1920x1080 and texts are sharp and easy to read but it seemed Sony LCDTV cant do 1080p when it had native resolution of 1368x768, it probably only can do 720p. I tested the power consumption to compared both Sony LCDTV and Sharp LEDTV by watching TV and use PC. When watched TV, Sony LCDTV used 86W while Sharp LEDTV used 54W, on PC, Sony LCDTV still used 86W and Sharp LEDTV used only 34W which are alot lower than my old 27 inch LCDTV consumpted 100W when used PC. 100W was bit too warm for me to sit in front caused my eye strain if used PC all day but now LEDTV was fantastic with cold screen caused me no problem all day.
Forget Plasma TV with insanely high power consumption, watch out for OLED TVs in the next big thing in few years.

The anger, hatred and bitterness expressed in Tuesday's letters section ["Health care: the horror is just beginning," March 23] clarifies that the reaction to the passage of the bill is more personal, directed at President Barack Obama, than ideological. Soon, after Obama took office, one prominent Republican legislator vowed that his party would make health care reform the new president's Armageddon.
At that time, Rush Limbaugh said that he hoped Obama would fail. After the bill passed he called those who worked to pass the bill, presumably our president and the Democratic legislators, "those bastards." Both Obama and his Republican opponents realized that defeat of his health care reform initiative would severely weaken his overall ability to govern.
Damaging our president's credibility and getting revenge for his victory in the presidential election and his victory with regard to health care reform are the major objectives of their attempts to block passage.
Robert C. Belloli
Remember the Civil War?
When one hears about 14 states threatening to sue because of the new health care law, it's impossible not to feel a sense of déj� vu. Consider a time where states threatened to secede from the United States because of conflicting ideals and moral beliefs. Now history doesn't repeat itself but the song that these 14 states are singing sounds shockingly familiar.
The GOP needs to pick its battles. With Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney establishing a very similar health care system in Massachusetts, GOP members may very well soon end up with egg on their faces.
Progress is impossible without change. Let's put aside tired party loyalties and band together as a nation to support the president regardless of his political leanings. No one can predict the ultimate result of what this law will bring, but it is unarguable that the nation has no future without the support of its people.

No fear of November
Perhaps the idea of "life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness" is not yet dead in America. However, we have witnessed the vulgar and hurtful comments made to legislators as they walked to the halls of Congress over the weekend. These Tea Party members and other fringe people are scared that the America of the 1950s doesn't look like their America today. Why? Because we have civil rights, Medicare, a black president and now even health care reform. They cannot bear the change they see.
The fact that the GOP has allowed itself to be complicit in this is even more reprehensible. The Republicans think this is going to help them in November. We'll see.
Denny Osborne
President had no choice
Frank Radmacher's letter "Health care: The horror is just beginning" and other letter-writers opposing the new law [Opinion, March 22] are "sour grapes." Partisan politics kept the Republican legislators united in opposing any form of health care reform, leaving no choice for the president to use the reconciliation procedure.

Superhero superstar
La Jolla resident Jim Lee has risen to the top of the comics world
Jim Lee's Comic-Con tips
- Game the system. Come to the "DC Universe Online" session, at 3:30 p.m. Saturday in Room 5AB. There, Lee will hand out keys to DC's upcoming massively multiplayer game, allowing free play of the beta version.
- Hunt for clues. Follow jimlee00 on Twitter for hints about where the artist has hidden original drawings. All yours for the taking — if you can find them.
- Dine like a pro. Instead of inhaling pizza and hot dogs inside the convention center, Lee calls Nobu — (619) 814-4124 and a five-minute walk from the Con — for sushi.
- Schmooze with the pros. "The best place to pitch your stories to comic book professionals is after hours at the bar," Lee said. "Buy 'em a drink." The bar with your best chance of cornering a Marvel or DC executive is at the Manchester Grand Hyatt.
- Roll like a star. Lee loves the Gaslamp's pedicabs, "but don't accept the first price they give you."
After unveiling his redesign of Wonder Woman on June 30, Jim Lee knew he would hear from fans. You can't tinker with a comic book icon without stampeding the nerd herd.
But Lee wasn't prepared for the size of the herd, or the prominence of some nerds.
Like Tim Gunn, co-host of cable TV's "Project Runway": "I love Wonder Woman's new look."
Or Robin Givhan, The Washington Post's Pulitzer Prize-winning fashion critic: "She has shrugged off parochialism to become an international sophisticate."
Or Nikki Finke, Hollywood blogger: "Of course, it took a bunch of men to ruin her."
"It was great to see that kind of attention," Lee said, relaxing in his four-level house a half-block from La Jolla's Windansea Beach. "Especially coming from what I call 'the civilian world.' "
This week, that world will again notice comic books, as Comic-Con International opens with Wednesday's preview night inside the San Diego Convention Center. Among civilians, mention of "comics" and "Lee" usually brings to mind Stan Lee, the 87-year-old Marvel mainstay. But for industry pros, there's no question that this is the era of another, unrelated, Lee. Jim Lee, 45, is co-publisher of DC Comics, co-founder of Image Comics and the artist whose 1991 reboot of a Marvel franchise sold a record 8 million copies.
"I can go to the convention and get a small taste of what it's like to have paparazzi," Lee said.
Paparazzi are part of the Con experience, thanks to the abundant Hollywood A-Listers here to flog movies and TV shows. But San Diego County residents also will be celebrated. Locals at this year's show, which runs through next Sunday, include Douglas E. Richards, author of "The Prometheus Project" sci-fi novels; Batton Lash, artist/writer for the "Supernatural Law" series; and Eric Shanower, who has adapted "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" and Homeric myths as comics.
For these talents, the pop-culture convention is an annual showcase. For Lee, it's something more — the one place where this divided man can see the pieces of his career pulled together.

I booked this hostel through hostel world, arrived at the hostel office, and found that there wasn't actually any room available. I then had nowhere to sleep, and had to scramble to find a better prepared hostel. I also lost out on the $9 deposit that goes to hostelworld. This is apparently a common problem the hostel has, as the owner is negligent and inconsiderate of guest needs.

The building was beautifuland clean. I got awesome breakfast that I could not get at other hostel. But I had to check in at the different building that is not explained online. I stayed at mixed room. My some stuff was stolen and told a staff and he said only oh that sucks. He did not find any solution. Sometimes, irregular tourists stay at the room, so mixed room is not good for usual tourists. Cannot recommend ppl to stay.

With frequent press attention on traffic congestion and "gridlock," it may be surprising that work trip travel times in US cities are better than those of high income competitors in other nations. Indeed, the University of Minnesota's David Levinson, found that the typical employee can reach two-thirds of jobs in major US metropolitan areas within 30 minutes.
It's only been in recent years that I am at peace with food, and I am certain that this is much more than a temporary truce. Why did it take me such a long time to appreciate the value in my acupuncturist's words? Look around, there's a standard in this country that is harmful to women. Life is lived in many shapes and sizes.

Debating what's wrong with Chargers
People with short memories can complain until their tonsils erode, but you and I know Norv and A.J. aren't going anywhere. And I don't think they should. Do you? How long ago was it that this was the worst team in football after it had been bad for years?
SULLIVAN: History tells you this is the Golden Age of Chargers football. Hysteria says heads should roll every time a team disappoints its fans. But you can't run a successful franchise by pandering to public whims and you can't achieve continuity by constantly replacing coaches and executives in a cyclical business like sports.
I don't blame Dean Spanos for keeping people in place who have dominated the division, but this is the same team, remember, that fired a coach after a 14-2 season. Whether Marty Schottenheimer deserved to be dismissed is open to debate — I say no — but the message that move imparted was unequivocal: that simply getting to the playoffs was no longer sufficient.
There were other factors in play — Smith's antipathy for Schottenheimer and Schottenheimer's desire to hire his brother — but the bottom line is that the Chargers raised expectations to a level they have yet to meet. Better get those players "coached up" in a hurry because the public is losing patience.
CANEPA: I'd agree with you on Marty, but after the New England game, I think he had to go. I thought Marty and his staff panicked when they clearly had the superior team. "We have a good 4th-and-11 play." Never forget that. It was Marty or A.J., and Spanos did the right thing. The public has lost so much patience the Chargers can win the Super Bowl and they'd still be after Norv's head. The more I think about the Chargers, the more I ask myself: Are they smart enough? So many things they do are dumb. But how do you fix dumb? I'm the wrong guy to ask.

Day 10: Cangyan Mountain
... to protect their good deed) did make an exception and looked the other way as long as I only stayed in a single night.
Since I was not about to return early to re-shoot the next morning, I headed back to Beijing and will wait a day until I head north to Inner Mongolia. I will skip the next day's post, as it is a day in Beijing relaxing, going over photo editing and preparing for the Mongolia leg of this trip.
More Song Writers and Little Red Riding Hood
... good with English had a great one about a flame from a fire on wood but he the water cooler broke in class so he spent so much time fixing that that I wasn't able to get a copy of it.
4th grade learned the story of Little Red Riding Hood. Which they happen to already know in Chinese so we were able to go through the whole story with ...
A class of authors
... kindergarten classes which I have to say it is extremely difficult to keep 4 year olds for an hour and half. But I am getting really good with the primary after school job, Mr Xu, where I taught the 4th graders the story of the gingerbread man work on a worksheet. I do like being able to give the kids worksheets instead of having to talk the full hour and half.
Hole Song
... you should look up the YouTube video because people get really good at saying it at ridiculous speeds. And the kids were amazed by it. I learned it just to be able to amaze them with it and can say that by the end of the week some kids timed me at 3 seconds for the whole thing. 5th grade is going to get to try it next week since this week they had hangman to review the words from the sword and the stone.
Overall a pretty fun week though.
English Teaching
... some of the boarding school kids.
And 5th grade continued their movie, which they really do love cause if I stop it for a minute I get complete dead silence from them and horrified faces thinking that I won't turn it back on. It's good to have the power :) ...

Hi everyone,
I entered a challenge competition sponsored by Ornamentea. They supplied an assortment of items that had to be used to make something. (not limited to jewelry). There was a brass filagree ring blank, a small brass fork, some small brass number charms and purple ribbon. You could add anything you wanted and you could make anything you wanted, but you had to use all of the items in the kit.
You can check out all the challenge pieces on the handmade gift guide's blog.
I made a napkin ring. Its #4. If you like it, I'd appreciate your votes!
Erin S
Those were interesting. You got my vote Erin! I really like how you pulled those very odd pieces together to make something cohesive and not out of whack. Nice work :)
Cat Blog Artfire Etsy
thanks, Cat. The fork by itself is pretty easy, or the numbers by themselves would be fairly easy, but being forced to use a fork AND the numbers, well, one of them is going to be an afterthought. I see the other contestants all had the same problem. I chose to skirt the issue by using the "zeros" in the numbers as circular connectors to add pearls.

In How to Support Cat Causes During the Holidays, I shared my favorite ways to help needy cats during the holidays.
I'd love for you to share some of the things you do to help shelter cats and other less fortunate cats during the holidays. They may range from volunteering at a shelter or cat rescue, donating cat food to rescue groups, buying "guilt-free" gifts for your friends that also aid cat charities, fostering kittens, or donating to an animal charity in memory of a pet. Please use all the space available, and set an example for other readers.
Gift Wrapping and Santa Pics
- As an everyday foster for a local Kitty Rescue, I am a volunteer Gift Wrapper set up Borders Bookstores. Customers donate for this service. I also recruited my son-in-law and daughter for a day of Santa and Photographer, for Santa Photos with the pets, that also brings in donations.

Naw, this is just a one day dealie...
PCQ: Gold Lake to French Meadows 131 miles
We were using tracks from
R-dubbs day 7.
Gold Lake
There was a rockier section, but some jeeps were blocking the road so I didn't get photos.
BigWan couldnt pick a line - he just took what was open.
Of course, what was open had the biggest rocks.
We came through here in July, but we were so tired after struggling in the snow, I didnt take any photos.
Now, I'm making up for it!
This is the video I posted back on page 21 (post #305).
Im trying to keep all of the PCQ stuff together (this RR needs an index
Back in July, we had had a bunch of watercrossings.
I think thats what were talking about in the video - it was hard to recognize the road when it was dry.
That video ends close to the free section of the campground.
We talked to some guys who were staying there - they said it was great.
The rocks really keep out the riff-raff!
Heres a video you
seen yet.
This is leaving Gold Lake on Butcher Ranch Road.
In July, we blasted
this hill, so happy to get out of the snow!
This started to look familiar...
It was kind of hard to take snow-less photos in the right spots.
We were just guessing where the snow-covered pics were taken.
I got lucky with a few of them!
Here's a reminder of how our ride was going in July:
BigWan left that stick at the base of the tree...
This one is a little tougher.
I was standing too far to the left for the non-snowy picture.
You have to
use your imagination...
The ride was a hell of a lot faster without snow!
That section was over in a blink.
We had some fall colors
Butcher Ranch was awesome in either direction.
Its a real highlight of the trail.
Going North to South youll hit more uphill stuff,
but South to North was just as fun.
Oso bored? you can find the rest of our ride reports
make stupid your favorite!

How to calculate WHIP and use it for betting on baseball
WHIP (or "Walks plus Hits per Inning Pitched) is a statistic that is particularly popular with the fantasy and rotisserie baseball crowds. It represents the average number of base runners (walks and hits) a pitcher allows per inning pitched. It is very easy to see how this would come in handy to the baseball gambler as well. The statistic basically will show you how often the pitcher allows base runners. The more base runners or the potential to put runners on base, the more dangerous it is for that pitcher. Therefore a team with a pitcher that has a high WHIP may not be the best pitcher to put money on. Now that WHIP has been defined the next step is to figure out how to calculate it.
To calculate WHIP, use the following formula: WHIP = (Walks + Hits) / Innings Pitched (IP)
WHIP is denoted as a number followed by a decimal point with two or three numbers after the decimal point (depending on how accurate you want to be). For example, a pitcher who walks 2 hitters and allows 7 hits in a nine-inning game has a WHIP of 1.000. In other words, the pitcher allowed an average of one base runner per inning pitched. A 1.000 WHIP is considered to be exceptional and will more likely than not be among the league leaders. A whip under 1.250 or so is still quite good. Once a WHIP gets up in the 1.500 area or higher, a pitcher is going to start having trouble being successful on a consistent basis. Now that WHIP is understood it should become very clear on how a handicapper or baseball bettor could use it to their advantage.
The starting pitcher drives the line in baseball and is center piece to any game. As a handicapper the starting pitcher has to be dissected to figure out if he is worthy of the money line that he was labeled with or if there is value betting against him. WHIP among other stats help in making that determination. This is an advanced stat and at first is hard for people to understand or use, so instead they avoid it. However this is a big mistake. The handicapper should take the time to learn this stat as well as all others and use them to make the best decision on every game. In the long run it will lead to more winners and ultimately more money.
When it comes to betting on baseball the most important player to handicap in any game is the starting pitcher. He controls the line and could easily make the difference between winning and losing. With that being said it is very obvious that understanding pitcher stats would be equally important. For the purpose of this article we will investigate ERA. Before we discuss how it can be applied to betting we should discuss how to calculate ERA. Determining a pitcher's earned run average, or ERA, is a way of deciding how effective the pitcher is without taking other players' errors into account. ERA represents how many runs a pitcher gives up during an entire game pitched, so the lower the number the better. ERA standards have varied throughout the years; as of 2009, ERAs in the low 2.00s are considered first-rate, with the normal typically running over 4.00. Here is how to calculate ERA.
Compute the total number of earned runs the pitcher has given up over the period of time you'd like to compute his ERA for. Don't count any unearned runs---that is, runs made because of errors on the field. You'll also need to know how many innings the pitcher pitched during the same time period. Divide the number of earned runs the pitcher is charged with by the number of innings pitched. Multiply the result from Step 2 by 9, unless the pitcher is in high school---in that case, multiply by 7. This final answer is the ERA for the pitcher in question over the time period you gathered the statistics for. This is an important measure of pitching and even more important for betting.
Since starting pitchers drive the odds and can control the game, ERA is a very important number to include in all areas of handicapping when covering a baseball game. This stat can potentially show you how vulnerable a pitcher can be when looking at ERA against the opposition or in a certain ballpark or even when looking at performance at home or on the road. This number should be just one of many that is considered by a handicapper but among the most important ones used. Any handicapper will soon realize that statistics influence the game and could lead to boosting your bankroll during the major league baseball season.

Today EPIC wrote to the Federal Trade Commission urging it to enforce the consent order with Google in light of a recent Wall Street Journal article based on research from Stanford's Jonathan Mayer that described how Google had been circumventing the privacy settings of Safari users despite Google's promise to respect such settings. EPIC said that Google "took elaborate measures to circumvent the Safari privacy safeguards, and it benefited from the misrepresentations by the commercial value it surreptitiously obtained." EPIC has filed a lawsuit to force the FTC to require Google to comply with the Consent Order to protect the privacy interests of Google users. The FTC's Response to the EPIC motion is due February 17; EPIC's reply is due February 21, 2012. For more information, see EPIC: EPIC v. FTC (Google Consent Order).

White Rock Fingers on Mars
May 4, 2004
What caused this unusual white rock formation on Mars? Intrigued by the possibility that they could be salt deposits left over as an ancient lakebed dried-up, detailed studies of these fingers now indicate a more mundane origin: volcanic ash. Studying the exact color of the formation indicated the volcanic origin. The light material appears to have eroded away from surrounding area, indicating a very low-density substance consistent with the ash hypothesis. The stark contrast between the rocks and the surrounding sand is compounded by the unusual darkness of the sand. The above picture was taken with the Thermal Emission Imaging System on the Mars Odyssey spacecraft currently orbiting Mars. The image spans about 10 kilometers inside a much larger crater.

She wanted to thank the world for letting her love

thoughts that no amount of time may erase.
They creep at me from night to night,
as darkness creeps on and swallows the day.
And I seek for the love you once offered me
In the darkest corners of the night.
I seek for it like the victim of a ghost,
shivering in the pale eyes of a pale form,
waiting for the faintest glow of solid fire.
And I am inspired by the words you spoke to me.
A kiss to lips unmoving,
a sigh to ears unhearing,
a dew of truth to eyes that refuse to see;
now mere memories that burn through the black of these blind bat's eyes.
I whisper for you and ask for a reply.
And I am engulfed by the cold of your traces,
the sharpness of your crystalline letters,
frozen chocolates, bittersweet,
to match our frozen, bitter hearts.

Blink Ink is delighted to announce that in celebration of our 20th issue
we are now open to themed submissions. Traditionally an appropriate
gift for an 20th is china, as in cups and saucers. We ask that you take that information and use it conceptually.
Something or someone from China, including fine china. The worlds of China Melville, or Chynna Phillips. The China Syndrome, Chinatown – be it the Jack Nicholson movie or a city neighborhood. China White – disco era killer. Sax Rohmer. An ancient world of legend, the upheavals of Mao, or black rains in Beijing. David Bowie and his China girl, your old Grannie's fuzzy poodle dog named China (who bit you, or did you lie). But not the country and not the patterned gravy boat, this is a conceptualization, a feeling we are striving for.
Submissions open till the end of April, fiction of fifty words or so. Artwork for this issue very much encouraged, please keep in mine we publish in a small black&white format. All submissions, concerns, inquiries,and proposals to: email@example.com

Be a Motivational Speaker at Schools: Career Guide
Research the requirements to become a motivational speaker. Learn about the job description and duties, and read the step-by-step process to start a career in motivational speaking.
Do I Want to Be a Seminar Speaker?
Seminar speakers are presumed experts in their career fields. They make motivational and training presentations to organizations, including educational institutions and private agencies. These professionals frequently travel to their various speaking engagements, allowing them to see many parts of the country. These speakers are often self-employed, which means they get to choose which engagements to accept and which to turn down; however, this can result in an irregular schedule that might include nights and weekends.
Job Requirements
While there are no specific education requirements, relevant experience and excellent communication skills are critical for an aspiring seminar speaker. The following table contains the core requirements for becoming a seminar speaker according to the National Speakers Association (NSA) as of 2011:
|Common Requirements
|Degree Level
|Depends on topic and venue
|Degree Field(s)
|Licensure and/or Certification
|Top ten percent of speakers are certified
|Although there is no set requirement many are entrepreneurs or small business owners
|Key Skills
|Public speaking, as well as the ability to stay ahead of industry trends and find new ways to market products and services
Step 1: Determine Your Area of Expertise
Seminar speakers are considered to have specialized knowledge in a particular subject area. Individuals interested in pursuing a career as a seminar speaker can attend professional industry-specific workshops and conferences to assist them in defining their strengths and concentration options.
Success Tips:
- Gain experience in a specific field. Seminar speakers often start as professionals in a particular field and evolve into speaking on the topic. Work experience can provide insight and experience that can be used in the speaking engagements.
- Write a book. It is common for seminar speakers to be authors. Frequently they are invited to speak about their book, as well as share information or anecdotes.
- Get an advanced degree in your field of interest. Having an advanced degree in a particular field may lead to speaking engagements at colleges or universities. Some academic departments may offer a speaker's series and engage speakers from outside the university for these events.
Step 2: Take Communication Courses
While a degree in communications is not required for a seminar speaker, public speaking skills are needed. Many colleges and universities offer public speaking courses in their communications programs. These programs may include other relevant courses, such as mass media, journalism, and non-verbal communications. Some schools may offer these courses and programs online.
Step 3: Gain Speaking Experience
Most organizations that assist speakers in booking engagements require a demo tape. Aspiring seminar speakers can build confidence and improve their speaking skills by participating in professional organizations, which can offer networking opportunities, seminars and workshops.
Success Tip:
- Join Toastmasters International. Toastmasters International is an organization where an aspiring speaker can gain experience speaking to a group and also receive feedback on their presentation from other participants to improve their techniques.
Step 4: Join a Professional Speakers Organization
Seminar speakers can further advance their careers by becoming members of professional organizations, such as the NSA, which offers membership benefits that include professional training and networking opportunities. Additionally, there are many organizations that promote speakers. These organizations generally require a fee to join, as well as a fee when speakers are booked for an event. Submission of a demo DVD may also be required to join.
Step 5: Become Certified
Certification as a professional speaker is voluntary and may enhance the credibility and employment opportunities of an aspiring seminar speaker. The NSA sponsors a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) credential for qualified NSA members. Membership in the organization for a minimum of three years is required before applying for certification.
