This is so amazing! Great work!
I hope you kept true to form and painted over a photograph!
Ouch! I'm never painting over a photograph... never ever. I don't think that it's drawing all in all...
One of the most epic things i've seen in a while.
Most dramatic death in history. xD
DDD Oh, indeed! However, I still believe that she has actually survived! That's what all series in the world about! They are loooong and everything is possible! DD
Gran trabajo.
Hey, very cool composition and nice artwork overall but if you didn't tell I couldn't say if this character is falling or flying or hoovering. I think you need work some more on the effects because the model itself is very well done, anatomy, details, hair (just add nails on her left foot ) but debris, smoke and fire look a bit rushed and unfinished. Because of that whole picture looks unfinished. Sorry if I was to honest, I think you have great potential and just wanted to help with some comments/critics Keep it up.
Very dynamic!
One of the most captivating paintings ive seen in a while!
Brilliant colours and motion
Astounding piece of work!
Thanks for sharing...

You can stream it from Netflix. I thought it was really good and very informative!.
do you know that the US has the highest mother/infant mortality rate of any industrialized, western country? odd, huh, given all this magical medicine we rely on. no doubt it's necessary for some of us (i.e., high risks), but for others, simpler is often better.
I am going to go to the hospital eventually but am planning to have my doula come here and stay with me as long as possible at home.
I would have a home birth but due to my age and the severity of my asthma, am not a great a candidate. I have a lot of fears where hospitals are concerned but it is what it is.
I haven't seen this one but may check it out. I thought The Business of Being Born was pretty good. Thanks for the recommendation!
Here, I've been called a c*nt, a heifer, a b%tch, ugly as sin with a freckled a**, and told I'm going to Hell. Trust me, you can't hurt my feelings.
I just watched this today and was hoping to get an informative veiw of Hospital vs Home births. I feel this movie was very biased and if you can weed through all the bull there is some very valid points, mainly dealing with the unecessary intervention. The movie villanized hospitals even after they had to take their baby to the hospital and they saved her life.
I do think that we have a very high, unecessarily high c-section and induction rates. I don't think there should be so much medical interference for a process that is supposed to be natural.
I hope to have a as little intervention as possible which is why I keep watching these movies and shows. I won't be staying home because it's totally not an option, but with the information I gather, I will keep control of my hospital birth as much as possible and will be avoiding c-section and induction at all cost.
We do have a choice but most women don't know or believe this.
sorry this is so long.
I watched it with my DH, and while it was incredibly bias, it did get us talking about some of our preferences for the birth.

I watched it last night actually and yeah it was a bit dramatic but also very eye opening. It is worth watching so you are more informed, some of the stories they portrayed, the women didn't know the drugs they were being given could kill them - and sometimes did. Our system is pretty messed up.
The US has an incredibly high rate of c-sections and medical intervention and really, unless there are risk factors present a pregnancy isn't a medical issue.

Basso was suspended in '07 for two years after admitting to "attempted doping" in relation to Operacion Puerto.

I have the following table. The problem is that when you zoom in/out or when the resolution is different, the headers change size. How can I make them stay constant?

Currently, if there's more than one word in the header (i.e. Response Comment Num) and the headers change size - words bunch up together one underneath the other.

text: I'm developing a .NET app, which needs to run both on Azure and on regular Windows Servers(2003). It needs to store a few GB of data and SQL Azure is too expensive for me, so I'll use Azure tables in the cloud version. Can you recommend a storage solution, which will run on standalone servers and have an API and behavior similar to Azure tables? From what I've seen Server AppFabric does not include Tables.

Quaternions are much nicer for keyframed animations, no question.
But for IK solver Euler angles seem to be much more natural:
- They allow me specify constraints easily (as maximum/minimum rotation angles). Converting constraints to quaternion space seems quite clumsy...
- Joints with only 1 DOF (knees, elbows) have only 1 adjustable component in Euler angle based rotation, but 3(4) in quaternion, meaning that solver will probably be slower and noisier.
Or is it pseudoproblem, as (hopefully) most IK adjustments to legs and hands are small enough, so the lack of constraints would not be visible?
Any help would be welcome!

These Beach Tree poems are examples of Beach poems about Tree. These are the best examples of Beach Tree poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
If you don't find the poem you want here, try our incredible, super duper, all-knowing, advanced poem search engine.
'Baby, you taste like chocolate,
You and me we'd make a great rhyming couplet.
A.K.A a grinding couplet.'
'You can get on top of me like enjambment.'
'I can show you some wild imagery,
Me on you, you on me.'
'Metaphor stands for meet-at-four,
We'll get it on till the break of dawn.'
'Damn, could you BE anymore sexual?' -an example of a rhetorical question you could include...
'S-s-s-s-s-SEX!'- an example of sibilance you could use (and probably will).
'Annotate me honey, and together we can achieve a deeper meaning.'

My Wishes are Simple
My wishes are simple,
my desires few,
to gaze upon an ocean,
and marvel at a solitary drop of dew.
My wishes are simple,
my dreams not too grand,
to feel the waves teasing my tired feet,
with no footprints left in the cool, wet sand.
My wishes are simple,
my thoughts serenely gentle, calm,
my heart resting beneath a swaying palm,
healing my being, caressed by nature's soothing balm.

I love the fish that comes straight from the tree.
Do you have this fish?
I also love the fish that comes directly from the market.
So do you have this fish?
I love the fish that comes from the sea.
Do you have this fish that comes from the bay?
I need this fish today.
Do you have this fish?
I think that fish is Danggit.
And Lapu-Lapu that comes from Cebu!
I love you fish.

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

iHerb Customer Reviews
After using the product for a year my doctor said that my slightly enlarged prostrate had actually shrunk back to it's normal size. It had remained so for the last four annual physicals. (I'm 69 years old)
I had a very unpleasant side effect from taking this formulation. It made me irritable. I do not know what may have caused this, but I suspect it is one of the non-herbal ingredients (glycine, L-Alanine, etc.). I stopped taking it after a few days and will not take it again. However, this side effect may be peculiar to me or just a few individuals, so the product may work well for others.

Great product! The best I've tried for prostrate health. It minimizes my bathroom trip at night and my urine flow was better than ever. Great prize too. Thanks to Iherb.
A full range of nutrients
Posted by Reviewer3153988 on Sep 19, 2008
This product is good, no doubt of it. The effect is immediately noticeable, and I can only expect that a long range benefit will result from it. These pills are easy to take; if you want to chew them- there is no problem, taste is OK.
Posted by Reviewer2754384 on Feb 26, 2010
You'll always read of one ingredient or the other being helpful for BHP problems. Here you have practically the whole list of ingredients in one package. Noticed a big difference in the number of trips to the bathroom at night. Won't be without this product.

Hotel Highlights
- Staying in a 19th-century Spanish fort
- Clifftop views of the sea and Palma
- The restaurant, tennis courts and gardens
Make love not war at Cap Rocat's former military fort, hidden on a cliff in a peaceful pocket of Palma bay. More heritage site than hotel, the fort's defensive paraphernalia (drawbridge, bunkers, trenches) provide a dramatic setting for pared-down boutique bedrooms, a dazzling infinity pool and two tempting restaurants.
Smith Extra
Here's what you get for booking Cap Rocat with us:
Two-for-one dinner at La Fortaleza restaurant (excluding drinks) on one night (if dining on a Sunday or Monday, when La Fortaleza is closed, this will be served at the Sea Club instead)

Bill & Paul's Politics"/>
Nerd Power
Who are Seattle's two filthy richest backing for president? Less than two months to go but Bill Gates and Paul Allen aren't clearly tipping their hands. Gates has given John McCain $2,500 - but that was for the Republican's Senate campaigns back in 1998 and 2003. (Gates also gave George Bush $2,000 in 2003.) Allen gave Hillary Clinton $2,300 for her unsuccessful White House bid but so far isn't on the federal record as backing Obama, the candidate she endorsed.
Each multi-billionaire gave $5,000 to Microsoft's PAC, which doles out funds to both parties. Likewise, the two have individually spread their hefty political dollars to either side of the aisle. Gates has given Yakima Republican Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers $3,300 for her current re-election bid, and supports Republican Rep. Dave Reichert with $4,600 in donations. (Gates' father, Seattle attorney Bill Gates, has given Reichert opponent Darcy Burner $1,500). Allen gave Reichert $2,300 for his re-election campaign, but, like Gates junior, has backed or is supporting Democrats, including Norm Dicks, Rick Larson, Adam Smith and Jay Inslee.
Gates, who leaned to the right in the past, is listing a bit left this time. He has doled out money to five GOP political action committees and five Dem PACs this election cycle, and while he gave $8,000 to Republicans, he donated $16,000 to Democrats, including $10,000 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign.
The elder Gates, Bill's dad, is on the record, however, as a solid Demo backer, and has given $2,300 to both Clinton and Obama.

MTS Closes MVNE Services Contract For Minimum Revenues Of $3.6 Million With One Of The Largest MVNOs In The U.S.
Israel, October 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- MTS - Mer Telemanagement Solutions Ltd. (NASDAQ Capital Market: MTSL), a global provider of MVNE services and telecommunications expense management (TEM) solutions, today announced the signing of a renewal agreement for its Mobile Virtual Network Enabler (MVNE) service with a large, U.S. based MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator).The MTS solution is a market leading MVNE service that provides new MVNOs with a quick time to market, flexible personalization, and rapid integration into their existing operations. This allows new MVNOs to focus their efforts on sales and marketing rather than back office technology and complex MNO integrations.

This morning, on a whim, I am drinking tea at the Teahouse Kuan Yin in Wallingford. The great outdoors have turned into one giant slushie, and it seemed like tea might fit the bill as something to pair with the galoshes, heavy coat, and various other winter accessories. Urbanspoon said this teahouse was "Gluten-Free Friendly," so here I am.
As far as that's concerned, there don't appear to be any clear standards to distinguish which places do and do not qualify for the title. Presumably something that says "gluten-free" should be on the menu, but for somebody with a severe allergy that means little. In this instance, the Teahouse Kuan Yin serves gluten-free pastries from Great Harvest Bread Company. And while I know that Great Harvest probably goes out of their way to keep their gluten-free products completely separate from their other products, they do not, to my knowledge, have a dedicated facility. There is almost certainly particulate flour in the air, flour in the ovens, flour in the display cases, and so on. In addition to which, the gluten-free pastries at Teahouse Kuan Yin are not kept separate from the regular pastries.
Let's clarify that for many "Gluten-Free Friendly" establishments, this is the norm.I'm being picky today, but think of it like this: Imagine you have a friend with a severe peanut allergy, and you take them out for Thai food. Say 90% of the dishes are made with ground peanuts, and the oil used for cooking is peanut oil. You specify, when you arrive, that your friend has a severe peanut allergy, and that there must be no peanuts in his meal. So the kitchen rinses and wipes out the wok, uses a different oil, and uses different utensils. There is probably still residual peanut oil in the wok. On top of which, imagine that somebody who has had their hands in the ground peanuts picks up herbs and throws them into your friend's meal without changing gloves first. Not good. To me, this is a similar situation to making "gluten-free" products in a well-glutened kitchen. There should be some other qualifying title. It's the gluten-free "friendly" equivalent of Brutus . . . you're just waiting for it to betray you, because you know eventually it will.
For those avoiding gluten in their diets, but who do not have celiac disease or only possess a very mild allergy, the Teahouse Kuan Yin is a completely viable option. I tested a couple pastries and will tell you not to bother with the ginger cookie, but the banana-walnut muffin is pretty tasty. The only other time I sampled a gluten-"free" pastry from Great Harvest, the results were questionable.
Death of Caesar, Vincenzo Camuccini
We'll have to see how this turns out. But meanwhile, I have solidified the fact that I am a coffee drinker. This whole tea thing is really pretty, and I love the accessories, ritual, and theory of it . . . but aside from a mug of herbal tea, enjoyed on the couch while watching movies when sick, I don't really get tea as a concept. I've ordered a really excellent Japanese green tea . . . and have to say that it tastes a little like fish and celery to me. But then, tea has a different tasting vocabulary than coffee, and I've yet to learn the appropriate application of terms like "vegetal."
All that said, the store is really cute, and if you are a tea drinker who doesn't have a gluten allergy, they have tons of great teas (not that I can tell) and tea accessories for sale here, so you should check it out.

Hidden safe in His closetcomments (0) January 26th, 2011 in Project Gallery
Well i always like to leave my touch behind in every house that i do, this customer likes to stash wads of CASH so i came up with this idea!
In the middle section of the open shelves, i made a shaker panel and mounted on Blumotion slides, when the panel is down the slides are fully extended, to pull the panel up...just apply your finger to the shaker border and lift...the blumotion kicks in and finish pulling the panel up by itself revealing the "Safe" which is screwed from the inside to the studs(hole in drywall)!

New Haven — Convinced that Steven Thomas had turned himself around years ago, U.S. District Judge Janet Bond Arterton on Wednesday sentenced the former tribal treasurer convicted of stealing from the tribe that owns Foxwoods Resort Casino to two years probation, the first three months of which must be served in home confinement.
Thomas must also repay the tribe $177,603, the amount of his 2007 salary as assistant director of the tribe's Department of Natural Resources Protection, and serve 200 hours of off-reservation community service. The judge chose not to impose a fine.
"Quite impressively, you reformed yourself — and before the hot breath of an investigation was on your neck," the judge said, addressing Thomas and his attorney, Richard Reeve, who stood before her at a lectern. "That's a strong statement."
Reeve had argued in a pre-sentencing memorandum that Thomas had accepted responsibility for his wrongdoing well before the federal government began a 2010 investigation into corruption on the Mashantucket reservation.
Thomas left the tribal-government job voluntarily and was elected to the tribal council in 2009. In 2012, he was named council treasurer.
He resigned from the council last Oct. 2, a day before pleading guilty to a single count of embezzling from the tribe. In exchange for his plea, the government dropped two other theft charges and agreed not to oppose Thomas' bid for a prison term shorter than the 12 to 18 months suggested under federal sentencing guidelines.
"It's entirely at the court's discretion," Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher Mattei said Wednesday.
Thomas, at the time of his pleading, admitted in court that he "intentionally" signed time cards on which he "overstated" the hours he worked. While the parties had differed over the amount of work Thomas performed, Reeve said Wednesday there was no dispute that "the vast majority of the time, (Thomas) was a no-show employee."
Reeve described Thomas' transformation, a process Reeve said mirrored the tribe's comeback from the financial difficulties that forced it to restructure a debt load of more than $2.2 billion.
"We all hope that a light will go on," Reeve told Arterton. "Sometimes it takes someone bottoming out … and being arrested. Without question, that light went on (for Thomas) and has been shining. It was shining before this investigation ever began."
Thomas, whom the tribe rehired in a new position in December, said he was "brash, very complacent, very entitled and unmotivated" when he first went to work for the tribe. "Then, one day the light bulb switched."
As a councilor, he said, he had to walk among "blood relations" every day and answer tough questions.
"It's all business, all the time," he said. "It was the best thing I could have done. I was looking to redeem myself. … I'll have to do that for the rest of my life."
Thomas' conviction will prevent him from holding tribal office again or working on the tribe-owned casino's gaming floor.
His older brother Michael, indicted along with him in January 2013, was convicted months ago by a jury that found him guilty of embezzling about $100,000 from the tribe by misusing a tribe-issued credit card for personal expenses. He began serving an 18-month prison term last month.
Unlike Steven, Michael Thomas, a former tribal chairman, held office at the time of his transgressions.

Winn's prediction that there will be no more than 5/6 firms conducting 70% of all domestic claimant personal injury cases, seems spot on. Moreover I suspect, they will lead the charge in respect of RTA matters, no matter what happens with the proposed (or not) increase in the small claims court limit. More worryingly, for Winn's competitors , whose main area of play is EL/PL/Clinical negligence claims, if they decide to circle that space, they will undoubtedly be equally successful as they have been in RTA cases. Very worrying times for others I would suggest!?
Gareth Porrit 5 September 2013 at 06:47
There is an error here- the claimant still recovers costs, just at either a set cost (if stays in Fast Track) and no mark up if the matter goes into Multi Track.
Winns attempt to monetize the whole process with fingers in every pie. Their attempts at getting psychiatric fees in low value cases have proven less successful recently as insurers across the board are starting to successfully challenge that particular business model!
Anonymous 5 September 2013 at 10:51
In response to the post of Gareth Porrit above. Firstly can I sat I am in no way Connected to Winn, nor his firm, nor have I ever been. The reality is the claims supply chain and processes involved, are hugely disparate, fragmented, and inefficient, all of which means the paying Defendant Insurer is paying more out in claims costs than it might be, if claimants adopted an integrated supply chain model. This can be only be done, by achieving scale and processes that streamline the whole process, making it more efficient, through better use of IT infrastructure, and appropriately qualified staff to undertake the various parts of the claim to see it to conclusion. Defendant Insurers benefit also. The bigger issue is, this sector is , and has to consolidate, given the regulatory regime as it is, and as it will be going forward. Only those firms with sufficient capital, and a strong balance sheet, will now be able to play in this sector. The rest of the firms who dabbled in PI, making money for nothing, with little expertise will fall away, through administration or sale to the likes of Winn et al!

Given the extreme paucity of research conducted to date with Latin American infants and families, the field is wide open for investigation. Survival needs must continue to be addressed: birth-weight and perinatal survival, infant and child mortality, and physical growth and nutritional needs. However, in addition to describing rates of mortality and patterns of growth, cultural attitudes, beliefs, values, and traditions that maintain risk factors or contribute to resilience must also be investigated. Furthermore, beyond the few studies described in this chapter, research is notably absent on the social environment of Latin American infants, especially given the strong emphasis these cultures place on kinship bonds, extended family relationships, respect for elder family members, and a collective worldview. Current research conducted in more industrialized countries points to the differential role of culture in infant psychophysiological development. Yet it appears that investigators are of the mind that before we study such issues in Mexico, Central America, and South America, basic needs must first be addressed. Interestingly, however, similar economic and political difficulties are present in many African nations, yet the African infancy literature contains studies examining not only mortality and birth-weight, but also child-rearing practices and other psychosocial questions. Perhaps an additional area of investigation would query reasons that so little research is conducted in Latin America compared to other regions; only then can we begin to remedy this glaring omission in our knowledge of the world's children.
Mayan descendants bear quiet, alert infants fitted to the quieting child-rearing practices to which they are exposed in their mothers' rebozos. The belly cinch, the rebozo, covered faces, and frequent breast-feedings to quiet the infant produce imitative, nonexploratory infants who develop in a slightly delayed (about one month) but parallel fashion to U.S. infants in motor, mental, and social parameters.
Interviews were conducted with low-SES women (91 mothers of children under age 2, 25 other mothers, and 23 secondary students) in Lima, Peru. Results indi-

Debris flows carrying saturated solid materials in water flowing downslopes often cause severe damage to the lives and properties in their path. Close monitoring and early warning are imperative to save lives and reduce damage. Current debris-flow-monitoring systems usually install sensor equipment along the riverbanks and mountain slopes to detect debris flows and track their data. Unfortunately, most of this equipment indirectly collects data only from a distance. So far, there is no way to understand what is happening inside a debris flow and to collect its internal parameters, not to mention doing this in real time. To answer this challenge, this paper presents a novel multifunctional wireless sensor for monitoring debris flows. The core idea is to let these sensors drift with the debris flow, to collect flow information as they move along, and to wirelessly transmit the collected data to base stations in real time. The design of such a sensor needs to address many challenging issues, including cost, deployment efforts, long-term standby, and fast reaction. This paper addresses these issues and reports our evaluation results.

In every murder trial, the prosecution and the defense present two radically different stories of what happened. In The First 48 Presents: Killer Verdict the viewers sit in the jury box and watch a real-life murder trial unfold. We get to decide which story to believe and reach our own verdict. In this episode, a shooting on a Florida beach leaves a beautiful young woman dead and her husband wounded with four gunshots. In a twist, the authorities arrest the most unlikely suspect--the surviving husband. During the trial, the defense argues they were simply the victims of a robbery gone wrong. The prosecution claims the husband killed April, then shot himself four times to fool investigators. These two dramatic stories play out in the courtroom, leaving everyone to wonder which story is true--and which story the jury will believe.

Shane Carlson was arrested on Monday night during a traffic stop near Eugene, Ore. The 26-year-old was driving a U-Haul with expired tags and carrying with him multiple licenses. Police finally identified him by his fingerprints. Prints they were able to trace to...a bag of teeth.
Robber Shane Carlson left something behind at his last score.
Ya see, Carlson is the dental office robber Seattle police have been tracking for over two months. Back in October, the Times reports that police found a bag of teeth lying on the ground in the Maple Leaf neighborhood. Somehow they were able to extract prints off said chompers. (Those must be some large teeth.)
According to police, Carlson was pawning the gold out of fillings, earning up to $10,000 on one score alone. Money he allegedly used to buy OxyContin. Carlson, as you might imagine, has a long rap sheet. But prosecutors are hopeful he'll stay away for a lot longer now that they have charges with some, um, bite.

 Last year, an group of IBM'ers instituted a new program called "Listening for Leads." The program uses Social Media to help identify opportunities with our sales channels. Recently, Ed Linde II, whose team is responsible for building Web assets to support the IBM.com sales channel and organic Web visitors, spoke with eMarketer magazine about IBM's social media efforts and successes. Here's an excerpt  from the full interview available on eMarketer Total Access.
Q. eMarketer: How does social media marketing differ for B2B companies from B2C?
A. Ed Linde : In B2C you're looking for a lot of interaction and collaboration between the individuals who tend to be a youthful audience and from time to time there's a celebrity element. In the B2B space, you want subject-matter experts who are known authorities on particular topics. They're credible experts on a particular area that people are trying to learn more about and make educated decisions on.

Q. eMarketer: How are you deploying social media marketing?
A. Mr. Linde: Within IBM we have a number of people in the brand areas who are blogging and doing things in the social media space relative to topics like cloud computing. In B2B we have a number of Websites that we built for our sales reps where we've enabled the reps to have a blog with RSS feeds that are connected to LinkedIn and Twitter. Their customers can follow them where they have an individual relationship.
Some of our reps have Facebook pages also. We also have a program called Listening for Leads, where we have people we call "seekers" who on a voluntary basis go to particular social media sites where they listen to conversations and determine whether there's a potential sales opportunity.

Q. eMarketer: What kinds of sites do the "seekers" go to?
A. Mr. Linde The "seekers" go on a voluntary basis to sites in the public sector. For example, government agency sites where RFPs [request for proposals] are posted, and there are discussions about proposals. In the tech space, there might be blogs or discussion boards about the new Intel chip for servers. We'll monitor those conversations.
Seekers listen to and look at conversations. For example, if someone says, "I'm looking to replace my old server" or "Does anyone have any recommendations on what kind of storage device will work in this in type of situation?" or "I'm about to issue a RFP; does anyone have a sample RFP I could work from?" Those are all pretty good clues that someone's about to buy something or start the buying process.
We try to identify those leads, get them to a lead development rep who is a telephone sales rep who has been trained to have a conversation with the lead to qualify and validate the opportunity. They'll qualify and validate it and then pass it to the appropriate sales resource to follow up.

Q. eMarketer: How is IBM using Twitter?
A. Mr. Linde: We promote our customer events on Twitter. When I say customer events, they could be Webinars, podcasts, virtual trade shows or physical trade shows. We advertise some of our promotions via Twitter. And our individual reps use Twitter to keep their customers updated about interesting news, events and things of that nature. Each rep has their own Twitter account. We also have the handle @IBMpcs because we sell refurbished PCs . (For IBM Partners, there are Twitter handles like @ibmpartnerplan and @ibmpartners.)

Q. eMarketer: What successes have you had with social media?
A. Mr. Linde: I would say Listening for Leads has been our best initiative so far. We have uncovered millions of dollars worth of sales leads through our intelligent listening program and we've closed a lot of business and we expect to do more. That's going to be a big growth area. The thing you have to be careful with in social media is you can't take your expert, for example, the guru of cloud computing, and expect him or her to also try to be a salesperson. Most people go to these sites and want the expert to be like a professor and to be as unbiased and antiseptic as possible. They don't want to be sold to on those sites. Smart marketers use the expert to establish credibility, to get the conversation going and so forth. And then maybe you can have the expert point people back to the Website where you can do the promotional stuff and the selling activity. By the same token, you listen for activity and if it looks like there are opportunities, you pursue them.

Q. eMarketer: Can you offer an example?
A. Mr. Linde : Let's say there's a big industry for used tires. You would go out to the places where people talk about used tires and listen for conversations where someone's looking to buy used tires. You would contact that person, interact with them and suggest that you might be able to help. You sort of qualify them and then hand them off to the lead development rep.

Q. eMarketer: Is there some secret sauce that makes this type of program successful, or is it more that you've been able to identify the key places where people are talking about the IBM products and services?
A. Mr. Linde: The key thing to making this successful is knowing what the right keywords are so that you can sort of search the various blogs and other venues where people are talking about your products. You need to use tools with Google that filter the conversations that are happening within blogs or on Twitter.
Typically, on the seeking side, we get people from the business unit to spend a couple of hours a week doing it. So if you have enough people doing that you can uncover enough opportunities for the lead development reps to follow up on. I can't divulge the number of people doing the seeking; it's a decent number, but it's not their full-time job.

Q. eMarketer: How are you tracking and measuring your social initiatives? You mentioned that you've identified millions of sales leads.
A. Mr. Linde: We measure against number of sales leads identified. And we rate the lead value from those leads. Then the win revenue and win rate. So there are four key metrics—number of leads created, lead value, win revenue and win rate.

i was wondering if anyone has similar experience. my baby has been extremely sleepy since birth. she can go 9 hours straight without waking up, we only tested 9 before waking her, she could probably go longer. she doesn't wake up from hunger. we have to wake her up for every feeding. it is very stressful as she doesn't want to get up. she only feeds 6x a day because we can't manage to wake her up every 3 hours, it's more like 4-5 hours. feedings are long because she has trouble latching or falls asleep at the breast. doctor says she looks ok and she is gaining weight normally (because we supplement with breastmilk via bottle if she's too sleepy to suck) but keeps saying we should try for more frequent feedings. but the baby just won't wake up! it breaks my hart to pull her legs, tickle her neck and cheeks etc for 30 mins every time she is supposed to feed and she is just not interested and wants to sleep... can't even enjoy those 6 hours stretches of sleep during the night (so we can sleep) if i'm constantly worried she is not feeding frequently enough and why in the world is she so sleepy all the time... that night sleep would be fine if she caught up with the feedings during a day but what i hear from other moms about every 2-3 hour day feedings is just unimaginable for us...
extremely sleepy 6 -week old doesn't wake up for feedings
How old is your baby? If your baby is brand new you need to be waking MUCH more frequently. As tough as it is, you really need more than 6 feeds a day if you have a brand new baby.
How is your lo's diaper output? Weight gain?

I always joked to my DH that our kids suffered from what I called "sleepy baby syndrome" those first few weeks. However, I think by 6 weeks they had woken up enough for more frequent nursing, however, here is what worked well for me when they were still super sleepy. I liked using a nipple shield b/c you can force it into a sleeping baby's mouth, much like a bottle. I found that it works especially well if you can get a little milk into the shield so that baby will taste/smell it and start to drink in their sleep. Both my kids would do this and it was easier than waking them to latch on to a bare nipple. Now, despite this I still tickled feet, zipped and unzipped pajamas and used a cool washcloth on them, etc. but I only had to do this until their weight was up. Both my kids had weight gain problems the first week or two. Once they were gaining well I was able to let them go at their own pace. So, if your pedi says the weight gain is fine and as long as the baby is having several wet diapers and dirty diapers I wouldn't worry too much.
Was your LO early or full term? They say that early babies need "catching up" with some of their development. That might be why your babies so sleepy? Just ideas.

Beautiful DD (9-25-09)
I am not an expert, but I nursed 4 babies. I stopped in b/c my sis is having nursing issues and I realize that I may have some encouragement for new mommies. My youngest is just 2 so I have not nursed for about a year but nursed for 5 years straight. That being said,
I had a couple who were "lazy" nursers. I am with pp, how much does your baby weigh? Do you have a lactation consultant that you can go to to watch you and the baby nurse? That may be helpful. If she has a bottle at all, she may not suck the same way she needs to on your breast so get a good let down. I am also wondering what you are doing to get her to "wake" up. As hard as it is, completely undress her, use a cold wash cloth, get her to really fuss and suck before latching. Once latched, stimulate your breast with your fingers to get a good let down. Try the "football hold" which is a little different and may make her a little less "comfortable". I would really look for a consultant to "watch" you and her nurse and give you direct feedback and to weigh her before and after a feeding. If you don't have a consultant, a doctor should let you weigh before and after she nurses.
I hope that helps. Just be encouraged that you are doing the absolute best for your baby your concern shows how much you love her. Get some sleep and call your dr. or lactation consultant.
OK I was sooooo in your place when my daughter was born! No matter what I did I just couldn't get her to wake up to eat - strip her, flick feet, wet towels etc... so I listened to an older nurse in the hospital; babies are not going to starve themselves... so I developed this plan that worked for me.
During the day I would nurse every 3-4 hours. It was easier to for me to nurse her during the day since I wasn't exhausted. Then at night I made sure to nurse her a 6, 9, and 12 & put her down for the night at midnight. Then I woke her at 6am if she didn't wake on her own. we nursed and then had another nap until 9:00ish... I then went back to our 3-4 hour schedule.
She gained weight and is doing great now!
I didn't find on demand worked for me personally - I found a schedule to be best ... it helped me develop a plan to deal w. my sleeeeeepy baby!
good luck!
Renee / Married my wonderful highschool sweetheart 2007 / Fiona Grace arrived 1-19-10
thanks for all your comments, i didn't check in for a while.
my baby is now 7 weeks old, but she's been like this since birth. she was full term. it's not that i don't want to wake her up because it's hard. i have been trying to do it, unsuccessfully. she won't wake up every 3 hours period. i have undressed her and all that good stuff - nothing was helping. her diaper output is good, so is her weight. doctor seems happy with her progress. it just looks scary on paper that she only eats 6x a day.
we have seen 4 different lactation consultants while in the hospital, i have seen another 2 since we came home. i have seen the doctor every 3 days to check the weight. both LC and Dr. know about these issues, the dr. said quote "it's hard to worry when she looks like this", i.e. yes not eating frequently enough but looks great, gaining weight.
we have had various issues with latching, sufficient milk transfer etc. but since about a week ago she is 100% bottle free, transferring enough on her own (finally!!) but the frequency still didn't improve. about a week ago we just decided to let her sleep if she wants to, she just seems much happier and unless her eyes are open she won't transfer any milk anyway.... she typically eats around 9-10pm and doesn't wake up until 3am... that's her long stretch. sometimes she does 7 hours on that one... but then we try to catch up during a day, but it's hard because i still don't wake her up every 3 hours anymore, i let her sleep for 4...
i will try the football hold, and the nipple shield, thanks for the suggestions. i keep hearing various opinions from experienced moms - wake her up vs. let her sleep. for now i decided to let her sleep a bit longer because she just seems happier. but every time someone says again that it's not healthy and i should wake her up every 3 hours, i get worried all over again... at this point i just think this average baby schedule is not working for our baby, we have tried and tried... maybe she is just different...
I think you are doing a great job! ITA with the nipple shield. My DD and I used it for a while. It's really easy to shove her their mouths. I'm not going to tell you not to worry when people tell you that it's not healthy for a 7 week old to go 4 hours during the day because I would be the same. My DD nursed every 2-3 hours, so you should kind of feel lucky that your LO is a little "lazier". My DD also started sleeping 6-7 hour stretched at 6-7 weeks, so that's normal. My DD is now almost 15 months old and as healthy as could be. Just go with your LO's schedule, but keep waking every 4 hours during the day. She will wake up, I know that. As PP as stated the best way to judge her intake and what is working for her is her wet/soiled diapers and her weight gain. With a fully BFed baby you can't tell how many ounces she is getting with each feeding, but I know they won't starve themselves, and they can't over-eat. They are in control of the supply. Good Luck! Hope this helps a little bit!

TTC#2 since�February 2011...thinking blue!
thanks! because of her latching issues we rented a scale and i know she is eating enough - got a chart from the lactation consultant, and i'm weighing her before and after each feeding. she looks great and chubby :) she did start waking up a bit on her own recently, so there has been some improvement, especially during a day. but put her in a dark room at night, or in a car seat during a day, you won't know you have a baby until you remember to wake her up :)
I have a sleepy six week old baby too. She is bottle fed, and I can generally get her to wake up enough to eat, but I always have to wake her and she often falls right back to sleep when burping. I have recently started taking her to a babysitter sense I had to go back to work and she seems to be having more of a challenge getting her to wake up enough to eat. My baby is also gaining weight, pooping and peeing, and seems healthy. Everyone has told me she will grow out of this and be more alert, and they also tell me that she will not starve herself she will eat when she is hungry. I also can't help but to worry if everything is normal. I don't think this is much help, but hopefully comforting to know another mom is going through the same thing. Good luck!!!!

Today, over 400 protests in 38 nations will join a grassroots effort called March Against Monsanto. But who is Monsanto and why should you know about them?
You may not think you're familiar with Monsanto, but you probably eat Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) created by them every day. Monsanto created the first GMO in 1985 but only in the past few years has their use become widespread in our food supply. (How are GMOs created?)
The most common way Monsanto uses GMOs is to artificially manipulate a crop so that it can withstand a specific type of all-purpose poison. They sell both the genetically modified seed as well as the poison. The engineering allows the farmer to blanket the crops in pesticides and while the GMO is unaffected everything else is killed. While there are GMOs for a wide variety of crops Monsanto has focused its attention on several strategic markets, for example 93% of soybeans and 86% of corn are now GMO—and these numbers continue to rise.
Monsanto and its supporters, claim that their products are not only safe but necessary to feed a world that may run out of food otherwise, but critics contend both points.
Human and Environmental Health
The company website states: "[T]he overwhelming scientific evidence shows there are no significant differences between 'organic' and 'conventional' crops in terms of taste, nutrition and safety." The 2010 study that is cited focuses on nutritional content being roughly equal between GMO and natural foods. The logic is that if a GMO orange has roughly the same vitamin C content as a non-GMO orange then there is nothing to worry about. However, the same study specifically states that "This review does not address contaminant content (such as herbicide, pesticide and fungicide residues)… or the environmental impacts…"
Meanwhile, researchers have claimed that the GMO giant has thwarted attempts to pursue research that may show ill effects. Studies have shown links between GMO food and Celiac disease. There are also significant indirect consequences to the widespread adoption of Monsanto's products such as a dramatic increase in nitrogen run-off which is creating dead zones in the oceans, the rise of "super weeds," and an alarming mass die off of bees. In the most serious dissension from the official company line yet, in March 2015, the World Health Organization announced that according to it's own findings the active ingredient in Monsanto pesticides is a "probable carcinogenic."
World Hunger
The world's population is growing quickly and there are hundreds of millions of people that go to bed hungry each night. GMO crops are designed to increase yield and while some studies suggest it may not be as significant as once claimed, it is generally accepted that GMOs are successful here. It is an easy leap to assume that because people are hungry the problem is a lack of food, but the reality is a bit more complex. We currently grow 50% more food than we need to feed every man woman and child on earth and food production is already outpacing population growth. Hunger is caused by inequality and poverty rather than scarcity–meaning the problem is not a lack of food but the fact that many people can not afford market prices and it is more profitable to let food waste than make it affordable for everyone.
Why Monsanto?
There are other bio-tech companies profiting from GMOs but Monsanto has been the lightening rod of criticism. Part of that is their own ugly history. Before Monsanto created their first GMO they created other controversial products that have since been proven to have unintended long term health and environmental consequences, such as DDT, PCBs and Agent Orange. They also pour huge amounts of money to defeat any effort to legislate GMO food labeling and have been accused of using tactics pioneered by big tobacco to influence the public's perception about their products safety.
There is a growing global resistance against Monsanto. Farmers and activists have been burning fields of GMO crops, but increasingly activists are pushing for labeling laws that would allow consumers to decide if they want to buy GMO products. Currently 64 nations require GMO labeling and the list continues to grow. But it is still an uphill battle. Monsanto has become particularly entrenched in the United States where is has its headquarters but even there progress is being made. Whole Foods and Chipotle have announced plans to phase out all GMO ingredients. Vermont also became the first state to require GMO labels on food, though Monsanto and others are suing the state and trying to stop the law from taking effect.
These are just the basics. There is an enormous amount of information out there and a growing number of organizations working to create change. Read the links here, share this story, do your own research and get involved.

In pseudo relevance feedback (PRF), the document weight which indicates how important a document is for the PRF model, plays a key role. In this paper, we investigate the smoothness issue of the document weights in PRF. The term smoothness means that the document weights decrease smoothly (i.e. gradually) along the document ranking list, and the weights are smooth (i.e. similar) within topically similar documents. We postulate that a reasonably smooth document-weighting function can benefit the PRF performance. This hypothesis is tested under a typical PRF model, namely the Relevance Model (RM). We propose a two-step document weight smoothing method, the different
instantiations of which have different effects on weight smoothing. Experiments on three TREC collections show that the instantiated methods with better smoothing effects generally lead to better PRF performance. In addition, the proposed method can significantly improve the RM's
performance and outperform various alternative methods which can also be used to smooth the document weights.
