Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
9 Elements of Viral Images
Adam Singer of Future Buzz shared the 2010 edition of 50 Viral Images and How they Spread. In his post Adam also shared an overview of the online platforms and tools (from message boards to social networks) that are used to spread viral images.
According to Adam, "Images are perhaps the most powerful form of content to spread on the web due to their portability, instant gratification, and impact. Studying the images that resonate is vital to learn how you can package your own ideas in similar formats to successfully spread."
So how can you make content that is guaranteed to go viral? The answer is simple: you can't.
I agree with Brian Solis' opinion that "There is no such thing as viral marketing." According to Solis, "Content doesn't make something viral; people are the primary source of powering social objects across the attention nodes that connect the human network."
With that in mind, let's examine these images from another angle: what do these 50 viral images have in common? What trends, themes and ideas have a history of engaging people and inspiring them to interact with the content (and with each other) by commenting, engaging and sharing?
- Tell a story.
Storytelling is a fundamental part of every culture; stories are told (and re-told) as a way to educate and entertain. Gabe Perez's student ID cards illustrate the story his progression through high school.
- Entertain with humor. Many "viral" images and videos are shared because they're funny. Like this comic about life before Google, these awkward moments on Facebook, or this "conversation" between Steve Jobs and Bill Gates.
- Share new information or illustrate information in a new way.
This desire for easily consumable information has contributed to the rising popularity of infographics. An informative graphic from the United Nations Environment Programme illustrates the global distribution of world's water. This entertaining infographic from The Seventeen Magazine Project resolves the dilemma of Who Can Wear Pigtails?
- Capitalize on a popular internet meme.
Internet memes spawn conversation and content throughout the social web. The #Fail meme is an ongoing conversation on Twitter. It is also the subject of several popular blogs and the punchline for several viral images. As another example, the Rickrolling phenomenon is an internet meme that popularized an online video and spawned several viral images.
- Share a new perspective on something we've all seen a hundred times. Like laundry on the couch. Or swimming pools.
- Illustrate cultural pain points in informative or funny ways. Here's a graphic explanation for why freeways come to an annoying halt and a great comparison of rock vs. iPhone. And as a Tetris addict, I can relate to this Tetris comic.
- Offer funny insights about sub-cultures or demographic groups. For example, did you know that where a student sits in class speaks volumes? And have you ever wondered what girls really mean when the say they "like nerdy guys"?
- Present ironies or juxtapositions. Several viral images demonstrate examples of irony and unexpected juxtapositions.
- Beautiful and inspiring. After all, a thing of beauty is a joy forever.

Good PC, Bad Company
This review is from: ASUS All-in-One PC ET2012EUTS-B007C Pentium G630 (2.70 GHz) 4 GB DDR3 500 GB HDD 20" Touchscreen Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
Pros: Touch screen works great, boots fast, runs quiet.
Cons: The computer was good, while it lasted. When it failed they made me pay $90 to ship it back to them. Then they told me I was supposed to get free standard two way shipping but sorry no reimbursements.
Other Thoughts: A large HDD is great, as long as it is not separated into more than one drive! The operating system is on one smaller partition and the rest is on a larger partition so you cannot store large amounts of personal data in the Windows folder but instead have to move it to the second partition thus messing up your libraries.

Silver Springs, FL (AP) - A north Florida man has been charged
with fatally shooting a family dog during a domestic dispute.
The Marion County Sheriff's Office reports that 52-year-old
Terry Lynn Cook was arguing with his girlfriend early Thursday.
The girlfriend told deputies that they were arguing over money
when Cook grabbed a pistol and pointed it at her head. He then
aimed at their dog, a pit bull named Brandy, at fired several
times. The dog tried to get away, but Cook reportedly chased it
down and shot it in the head.
The girlfriend reported that she ran away to a neighbor's home
and called for help.
Following a standoff with authorities, Cook told deputies that
he only shot the dog after it snapped at him.
Cook was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and animal
cruelty. He was being held on $45,000 bail.

Reviews for Spaghetti Bread
Reviewed Jan. 31, 2015
"Chose medium crust color, came out crispy on the edges with cheesy crunchiness. Would choose light next time. Inside was nice & soft, lots of herby flavor, would use the full 2 tsp of garlic powder next time. Buttered hot or toasted, yum. Just smelling it bake in the bread machine was heaven. The order of the ingredients is perfect, will make this again."

Actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan, who has been named for a Padma Bhushan, says it is a "good fortune" that he has been chosen for India's third highest civilian honour, but the artiste in him will only be satisfied when he takes Indian cinema to the international arena.
"I think it's by sheer chance and my good fortune that I have been chosen for the award. But as an artist, awards don't bring me satisfaction and happiness. I want to take our cinema to the international arena. We have achieved that feat in other fields, but commercial success is not everything," Kamal told IANS at his residence here.
"I see the award as an incentive to continue doing my good work. I think it's an honour for the work I will do in the future. There are thousands who are more deserving than I for this award," he added.
The 59-year-old, who has starred in over 200 films across multiple languages in over five decades, dedicated the award to all those who are responsible for his success.
"I can't solely take credit for the award. I haven't done anything by myself. My success, achievement, is because of the efforts of so many others. I feel they deserve the award more than I do. Therefore, I would like to dedicate it to them," he said.
Kamal, who was awarded the Padma Shri in 1990, said that the long gap between the two honours doesn't bother him.
"As an actor, his or her work will be recognised when the time comes. It's not some remuneration that you expect it come to you promptly. I'm happy that India has recognised my talents and has awarded me. I didn't mind waiting," added the actor, who was named for the Padma Bhushan Jan 25.
It was on the same day in 2013 that his film "Vishwaroopam" got embroiled in a controversy.
"I haven't changed since last year. I'm still in the same state of mind as I have been since a youngster. The past has shaped me, groomed me as an individual and as an artist," said Kamal.
With two coveted awards in his kitty, does Kamal have any plans to pen an autobiography?
"I'm against autobiographies. You need to speak the truth in an autobiography, but if I do that I will end up offending a lot of people. I feel autobiographies make you tell a story in a certain way, twisting facts and, therefore, I think it's a lie most of the times," he said.
He is currently awaiting the release of "Vishwaroopam 2", which is nearing completion.
"It will hit the screens in three or four months. We are left to shoot a song and for that we sought the permission of the Indian military and it has been granted. As soon as we finish the song, we'll start working on the computer graphics and post-production work," he said.
"Vishwaroopam 2" is written and directed by Kamal, who also plays a spy in the film. Rahul Bose, Pooja Kumar, Andrea Jeremiah, Anant Mahadevan and Waheeda Rehman will be seen in important roles in it.

Disgraced former ozeki Kotomitsuki filed an injunction with a court Monday to be reinstated in sumo, arguing the sport's governing body unfairly dismissed him over this summer's baseball gambling scandal.
A lawyer for the 34-year-old Kotomitsuki, who was sacked by the Japan Sumo Association for his involvement in the scandal, revealed that the former wrestler asked the association for a full explanation of his dismissal. Kotomitsuki, whose real name is Keiji Tamiya, considered the reply insufficient and lodged the injunction with the Tokyo District Court.
"I have not heard the details," sumo association chairman Hanaregoma said in a prepared statement. "We are leaving everything in the hands of our lawyers."
Kotomitsuki admitted to being involved in the gambling ring but initially lied in parts of his testimony to the association, whose board moved to fire him.
He was the first ozeki to be dismissed from the sport.
His lawyer said the association made an unfair example out of the wrestler.
"In the injunction, we pointed out that there was too much of a discrepancy in the way the wrestlers were punished," the lawyer said.

JONAH: A Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting in the Whale-A-Day Inn! (7 of 7) by Steve Wagers
This content is part of a series.JONAH: A Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting in the Whale-A-Day Inn! (7 of 7)
Series: Leading Us in Prayer Will Be...
Steve N. Wagers
Jonah 2:1-10
Sermon Outline
1. A Bewildered Man's Reproach!
A. The Location that Troubled Him!
B. The Vexation that Tormented Him!
C. The Situation that Terrified Him!
2. A Burden Man's Request!
A. He Remembers His Obligation to God!
B. He Renews His Dedication for God!
3. A Blessed Man's Release!
A. An Awareness of the Sovereignty of God!
B. An Appreciation of the Sympathy of God!
1. Golfer Arnold Palmer once played a series of exhibition matches in Saudi Arabia. The king was so impressed that he purposed to give Palmer a gift. Palmer humbly declined saying, "It really isn't necessary, your Highness. I'm honored to have been invited." The king replied, "I would be deeply upset if you do not allow me to give you a gift." Palmer accepted and said, "All right. How about a golf club? That would be a wonderful momento of my visit to your country."
2. The next morning, delivered to Arnold Palmer's hotel room was the title to a golf club. Thousands of acres, trees, lakes, a clubhouse and so forth. The king had granted the request of Arnold Palmer by giving him a golf club. Arnold Palmer later said that he had learned that in the presence of a king, don't ask for small gifts.
3. As we come to Jonah 2, we find Jonah praying. It is a Wednesday night prayer in the whale-a-day inn, and while Jonah is in the presence of the King of Kings, he is not asking for small gifts.
4. The story of Jonah is a very familiar one. The scene closes in the previous chapter as Jonah is thrown from a ship and swallowed by a great fish, which the Lord had "prepared" for him.
5. The curtain goes up on this scene, in Jonah 2: 1, with the words, "And Jonah prayed." There doesn't seem to be an interlude, or an intermission. Jonah is swallowed by a great fish, and we immediately find him in prayer.
6. As Jonah leads us in prayer tonight, from the whale-a-day inn, we learn 3 things from a bewildered man, a burdened man and a blessed man. First of all, notice:
1. A BEWILDERED Man's REPROACH!
1. We read in verses 1-2, "Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly. And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, andthou heardest my voice."
2. Once Jonah is engulfed by this great fish, he finds himself in a most undesirable place. He is a bewildered man who is facing great reproach because of his disobedience to God. His reproach is a result of:
A. The LOCATION that TROUBLED Him!
1. We must remember that it was God who had allowed Jonah to board a runaway ship, headed in the complete opposite direction from God wanted him to go. It was God who permitted Jonah to be thrown overboard. It was God who had designed, appointed and prepared a great fish to swallow him. Now, it was God who had dr ...

PINEHURST, N.C. — Pinehurst No. 2, among the world's more revered courses, has managed to become somewhat of a mystery to the world's best golfers as the U.S. Open gets underway today.
The recently renovated No. 2 has been shorn of all its rough but still has its diabolical, turtle-back greens that require a deft putting touch. The combination of new and old makes for a fascinating backdrop for two weeks' worth of national championships. The U.S. Women's Open is next week, also on No. 2.
"We know Pinehurst because of the greens," said Matt Kuchar, a pretournament favorite. "But the rest has changed."
Under the direction of course designers Bill Coore and Hall of Fame golfer Ben Crenshaw, nearly 40 acres of Bermuda grass were removed from the course. The old rough was replaced with sand, wiry grasses and native vegetation that original course architect Donald Ross installed on No. 2, which opened in 1907 and was what he once called "the fairest test of championship golf I have ever designed."
Playing a course with no rough — the major reason next week's Women's Open can also be held on No. 2 — poses an unusual challenge for players accustomed to Open setups that usually feature thick, tall grass running along the side of narrow fairways and around the greens.
"The U.S. Open is different than anything we ever play," Masters champion Bubba Watson said. "This time they're doing it without rough, but they're doing it with the greens."
Strategies were still being formulated Wednesday. Hitting out of what are now being called "waste areas" onto Pinehurst's heavily sloped greens is requiring a new way of thinking.
"You have to look at the best way to attack that hole," Watson said. "And when I say attack, I don't mean attack the pin. I mean, maybe miss the green over here to the right so you can chip up and make an easy par or an easier par."
Phil Mickelson, who has won five major championships but never a U.S. Open, has perhaps the best and most imaginative short game on the PGA Tour. He still was figuring Wednesday how he would approach his approach shots as he pursues a career Grand Slam.
"There's no luck involved with the hack-it-out rough that sometimes we have around the greens (at other U.S. Opens)," Mickelson said. "The challenge of those areas is that you have sand and then you also have kind of a wiry grass. The sand will make the ball come out dead with a lot of spin. The wiry grass will make the ball come out shooting into a flier. So identifying which way the ball is coming out is going to be a big difference."
What hasn't changed are the greens. Their side of the equation remains tricky.
"Everyone is going to miss a few more greens this week than they're used to," said world No. 1 Adam Scott, who is also chasing his first U.S. Open victory.
"So they better be ready for that. And patience will be tested. These chipping areas provide you with a lot of different options on how to play a shot. So imagination is going to be a big thing."

Officially the Roman Catholic Saint Franciscus Xavierus Church, but the Amsterdam locals will always say "De Krijtberg" kerk (=church). This name, meaning something like, "board-chalk hill" stands on the place where three houses were bought by a jezuit priest in 1654. One of the houses was called the "Crytbergh". However, the reformation made many Catholic churches fall in the hands of the protestants or simply be destroyed, after a while Catholics were again "tolerated" and on this place they erected a new neo-gothic church to their services in Amsterdam. In the second half of the 19th century it was finished and now-a-days it's slim twin towers have a dominant view along the "Singel" canal.
Address: Singel 448
In a place where it belongs, between the ships
From the enormous amount of museums and attractions I would like to point out three to you.
Scheepvaartmuseum (nautical museum) tells the success story of Amsterdam during the glorious VOC-times. The VOC (Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie = United Eastindies Company) was the first (stockholding) company in the world and built the Dutch colonial empire, that long time was bigger the the English Commonwealth (only the Spanish competed). At this museum is also a replica of a Eastindies-sailingship: the "Amsterdam". This magnificent ship was a kind of Titanic for it's time, as it shipwrecked on it's first journey to the Dutch Indies. On board of this replica one finds (in weekend and holidays) also actors that simulate the life then. The museum is situated in the former Navy Arsenal, the place where the Dutch navy stored it's weapons, guns, nautical gear and (an small amount of) gunpowder.
The "Wallen", a very old part of Amsterdam
This neighbourhood is maybe the most famous item in the world if it is about tourism and Amsterdam. Everyone immediately jumps to this conclusion and not without being right. The "Wallen" (Kay, Dike, stretch of hightened land along a canal or river) or "Walletjes" (little "Wallen") are a folk area that now houses the prostitution district with the many red lights. Surrounding the old church, this part has however also some other interesting things. It is one of the oldest parts of Amsterdam and many houses are really magnificently kept monuments. It is a district with a whole own character, which has nothing to do with criminal behaviour. So, when walking here, don't only look into the windows and into the nice ladies eyes (or 30 cm lower), but gaze up to the facades and discover the other side of the Red Light District (more about the "Wallen" under custom-tips).
Directions: South-West from the Damrak and Dam (follow the masses). The given URL shows a map of the red light district.
Hidden behind facades is experience called Holland
This 3D-multimedia-show gives you a nice impression of The Netherlands and is perfect for people that visit Amsterdam in a flash and still want to experience something from the rest of the country. Here you will meet the landscape with tulips, rivers and dikes. You will experience floading, windmills, wooden shoes etc. etc. etc. A taste of Holland within the city of Amsterdam.

The prominent presence of Madam Tussaud on the Dam
On the Dam-square the Wax-museum of Madam Tussaud deserves some extra attention. In here there is a lot of attention for Dutch history and present fame. There is a section explaning about the becoming of The Netherlands and you can meet the Dutch painters in person. Furthermore Dutch royalty and politicians as well as famous persons from television or music can be seen (though many of you foreigners now are seeking long long time to come up with Jean Claude Vandamme, who actually is a Belgian!) Madam Tussaud is definately interesting to visit on a rainy day.

Modern, but still quite integrated in the scenery
A remarkable new building within the Amsterdam centre is the "Stopera". This name is a joining of tow words: Stadhuis (Cityhall) and Opera. This combined force has resulted in a very great modern architecture that still is in balance with it's historical surroundings. The project met much resistance at first, but now most - even most critical - people are satisfied with the result. In the "Music Theatre" - which is a synonym for the stopera, the National Ballet is performing often. A state of the art ballet on world standard.

An ugly museum house for a great crazy painter
Van Gogh is by far the most popualr painter in foreign countries. In the Netherlands Rembrandt is still in the lead. Van Gogh lived a large period of his live in France (which could be a reason of lessened popularity in NL) and was quite a peculiar guy. Especially the ear cutting was a moment that will make many Dutch frown upon. Anyway, his great work in painting is untouchable and many of his paintings can be watched for hours. In his museum however there is so much to see, that you do not have that luxery ... that is, if you want to see it all.

Peeping behind the little tree, the narrowest hous
Compressed between two other canalhouses, on the Singel a very narrow house is trying to survive. All canalboat tourguides will point out to this remarkably tiny house and just imagine what rooms must be in here and how they are filled with what kind of furniture. Here the mother can never say to her child "don't sit to close to te television, my dear" as getting further away is just plain impossible.
Address: Singel 166
Floating by the "Jordaan", the "real Amsterdam
No, I am not talking about the "Walletjes". This most typical Amsterdam neighbourhood is for sure the "Jordaan". This area was inhabited for a while by many French refugees (Hugonotes) and as for the greens in this place, it deserved the nickname "Jardin" (garden in French). Later it became more and more pronounciated as "Jordaan" and it became the folk nieghbourhood of the town. If you want to visit a "brown" cafe: this is the place. If you want to listen to "Amsterdam smartlap" (tearjurking sing-a-longs) this here is paradise. The area is also very beautiful in canalhouses and history.
Along the Amstel-outlets tops Montelbaanstower up
A significant tower that catches the eye on a few places while looking over the canals, is the "Montelbaanstoren". This too was a part of the Amsterdam citywall and was built in 1606. Later this (like the "Munttoren") got a new towerpeak, more decorative and built by Hendrick de Keyser (also responsible for several churches as you know by now). The tower is 48 meters high, 7 meters more then the "Munttoren".

text: On Saturday, June 11, we're going to be playing an unplugged/acoustic set at the very sweet Bluff Mountain Music Festival in Hot Springs, NC. The festival features "Traditional Old-Time and Bluegrass Music, Ballad Singing and Clogging." We actually know quite a bit of old-time music. We're still working on our set. In addition to more traditional stuff, we hope to re-work some of our rockers into this format for fun. Any suggestions of what songs you think we should do?

Thunder-Lakers remote patrol: Charles Barkley 'can't wait' to come to Oklahoma City
TNT studio analyst Charles Barkley can no longer avoid it. He and the rest of the TNT studio team will be coming to Oklahoma City for Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals, and Barkley sounded pleased that he finally was fulfilling his promise to come to the city he had poked fun of as a "vast wasteland" in 2006 when it hosted the Hornets.
"Can't wait!" Barkley shouted on the postgame show.
"Two river walks, baby!" Shaquille O'Neal gloated, referring to San Antonio and Oklahoma City having river canals. "I'm going on both of them, Ernie. Chuck is coming to OKC!"
In interviewing Russell Westbrook, Barkley even asked him where he could get a great steak in the city. "Mahogany or Mickey Mantle, it's your pick," Westbrook said.
Barkley said he was excited about the matchup of the Thunder and the Spurs, which he called the best two teams in the league. "This is a pick 'em series," he said. "It's going to be a monster series. I can't wait.
"I give the edge to the Spurs on the bench. I do think OKC has to find a way to get easy baskets and not rely on jumpers."
O'Neal, who said he was picking the Spurs, gave some advice to Westbrook about staying on an even keel. "It's OK to celebrate, but the task is not done until the championship is won. Remember that."
Solid game broadcast
Kevin Harlan, Reggie Miller and Craig Sager turned in a solid game broadcast in capturing the mood of Game 5. In the fourth quarter, Sager even ventured into the raucous Thunder Alley, where a huge crowd watched the game on the large videoboard. "We're back to Oklahoma City, where the noise is roaring," he said among the large crowd.
Miller, a former Indiana Pacer star, called the Thunder Alley crowd "awesome." "In a small market when you get deep into the playoffs, the fans really rally behind you."
Kobe Bryant's 42 points wasn't enough to carry the Lakers.
"I think he looks around hoping to hear a voice familiar," Harlan said late in the game. "He has lost all his combatants. (Derek) Fisher is gone. Phil Jackson is gone. (Lamar) Odom is gone. Very tough for Kobe Bryant."
Miller took a shot at Lakers coach Mike Brown for resting Bryant to start the fourth quarter when the Thunder put the game away with a 10-0 run. "If I'm Mike Brown, I got to get Kobe Bryant in the game."
After Westbrook hit an unbelievable shot after a steal in the third quarter, Harlan said, "Westbrook with 12 (in the quarter) is looking to light a fire, a fuse for the Thunder."
Miller objected to a flagrant one foul being called on World Metta Peace as he hammered Thabo Sefolosha late in the first half. World Peace also was called for a technical foul. "That was just a hard playoff foul," he said. "I can understand why World Metta Peace is upset because it's guilt by association."
A few minutes earlier, he said World Peace was playing like the Incredible Hulk. "He is just throwing people around left and right."
Short takes
— At halftime, the TNT studio analysts agreed with Miller that a flagrant foul should not have been called on World Peace. Kenny Smith said, "Unfortunately your past catches up with you sometimes."
— Smith and O'Neal poked fun at Barkley for apparently having his eyebrows waxed besides getting a manicure. "You all can't break me. I'm a metrosexual. I'm cool. I'm cool where I'm at."
— TNT showed Derek Fisher addressing the Thunder in pregame. "What we just have to do is do our job," he said. "Everybody do their job, man. We're going to win tonight."

|Jennifer Padilla
Major: African American Studies
Twenty-three years old, homeless and raising her two young children alone in a Silicon Valley Motel 6, Erin seeks help.
Jennifer Padilla, an intern with Sacred Heart Community Service in San Jose, Calif., meets with Erin regularly. At first, Erin looks tired and strained. She's given the basics: food and clothing. After Jennifer connects her with agencies providing free child care and vocational training, Erin is energized. Even her two daughters are in higher spirits, seeing the shift in their lives.
Eventually, Erin finds a better-paying job and safe child care for her daughters.
"I'm not completely on my feet yet, but I'm getting there," she tells Jennifer.
"That's what I love about service," says Jennifer. "It's getting to work with people one on one and hearing their stories and where they come from. Why should Erin, a kind and hardworking woman, be forced to explain to her children that there won't be any dinner or a warm place to stay that night? That personal experience motivates me and helps me grasp the bigger picture of why I'm doing what I'm doing."
Jennifer is committed to working toward social justice and sees her future in community service as a fusion of administrative and hands-on work.
"I'm really inspired by the people I've worked with at Sacred Heart," she says. "They've devoted their lives completely to serving the common good and selflessly giving themselves to help others. That's the kind of life I want to live."
Jennifer's inner strength and focus in large part stems from her dedication to martial arts. She's currently in the dojo training for her third-degree black belt in karate. For the past four years, Jennifer has honed her skills in martial arts and social justice — two activities she sees as interconnected.
"Karate keeps me grounded," says Jennifer, who has studied the art for more than a decade. "I've gained focus and self-discipline from it; and it's where I get my power, drive and motivation."

Augusta Launches 'Branch in a Box' Community Smart Card; Development Will Help Boost Business for Local Retailers
Byline: Si'n Barry
A SWANSEA hi-tech venture has launched a smart card aimed at the credit union and local authority market.
The Credit Union "Branch in a Box" community smart card system has been developed by smart card software specialists Augusta from its new European headquarters in Swansea.
The interoperable card is also set to provide a boost to neighbourhood retailers, credit unions and local authority services by encouraging residents to spend more time and money in their own localities.
Augusta has developed the system in partnership with Ingenico, the world's leading supplier of payment solutions. It represents a major evolution of a system applied by Augusta, with one of Africa's largest banks, across many remote areas of Africa.
Not only will the smartcard enable people to access credit union services via many local retail outlets, it will also allow them to use community services such as libraries, concessionary travel, discounted leisure facilities, pre-paid car parking and payment of benefits.
The system gives local traders a mechanism to reward loyalty with vouchers or discounts that encourage more shopping within local communities.
In addition the cards are particularly cost-effective for transactions under pounds 10, so reducing the amount of money taken out of the local economy in cash management fees and bank charges. The development of the new product was supported by Finance Wales which has taken a 20% equity stake in Augusta.
The new card was launched yesterday by Augusta chairman Lord Erroll, who also heads the All-Party Internet Group in the House of Lords.
He said: "Augusta has a vision for a single interoperable card that can be used to access a wide range of public and private services within a community. We want to help people feel a greater bond with the local community, with special privileges for local residents, while at the same time supporting activities such as learning, travelling, work, leisure, banking and benefits. …

Pros: possible extra warranty?
Cons: comes in generic brown box. no documentation or information. Had to throw this product away. Would not work without messing up my BIOS.
Other Thoughts: I installed this to replace an aging seagate same RPM and GB, in ASUS G60VX. The BIOS immediately went out computer unuseable. Had to take it to a computer shop. Cost $150.00 to fix bios and $150.00 for new Segate harddrive and load my OS. They told me never to install Toshiba harddrives in anything other than Toshebia laptops. I am sticking with Segate.

Conair mulls how it will manufacture products in BrazilComments Email Print
SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL — Auxiliary equipment producer Conair Group, which has sold and serviced machinery in Brazil since 1976 but has no local manufacturing or sales presence, is eyeing Brazilian expansion that could include more service technicians, and a new office with sales staff.
The company is also actively exploring whether to do a manufacturing partnership in Brazil — like it has done in India — or to build its own manufacturing facility, like Conair has in China, said President Larry Doyle.
"We hope to discover that potential partner this week," Doyle said in an interview at Feiplastic, the Brazilian trade show formerly named Brasilplast, held May 20-24 in Sao Paulo.
Producing within Brazil would help Conair compete better on price with local equipment manufacturers, due to various import tariffs applied to foreign machines that can raise the final price by as much as 50 percent.
Brazilian plastics companies that buy Conair equipment would also be able to apply for low-interest public financing from Brazil's National Development Bank (BNDES), which often stipulates a high percentage for locally-produced goods or services in loan applications.
The company's ability to better serve customers and deliver equipment faster with local production is the most attractive aspect of expanding in Brazil, Doyle said. Conair's Brazilian clients are currently serviced by staff in Mexico.
"Today, however, we see great potential, and the question is not if we will ramp up our participation in Brazil, but simply how we'll do so," Hricsina said.
Doyle and Hricsina declined to comment on which Brazilian equipment manufacturers they will discuss a potential partnership with this week. Conair produces more than 450 different products, including blenders, feeders and conveyer systems, resin-drying systems, temperature-control equipment, extrusion solutions and plastics process integration.

Sammy Cooper - Beach - Traumatised Cubone Scene!
Sammy shushed the wailing Cubone and pulled out a Potion, spraying the little guy. It seemed to make him feel better, his crying trailing off into sniffles. He snuggled in close to her, turning his face away from Mark and Len. Sammy stood up, stilling cradling Cubone.
"No, Mark, really, it's my fault. I shouldn't have pushed Cubone so hard... I'll need to think about the way I'm raising him. I don't want you or Len feeling bad, neither of you did anything wrong." When Mark mentioned trying again with a different pokemon she was a little suprised. But who was she to say no to second chances? She could kill two delibirds with one stones if she could calm down Cubone down.
"Are you sure? I've got other pokemon, but you wouldn't need to switch out your Poliwrath. It's not like he took any hits or anything."

Here is the final recipe I settled on after much trial and error for this delicious treat. This is for one large filet of Sockeye Salmon.
For the brine use...
1 1/2 cups dark pure brown sugar
1/4 cup sea salt
1/2 cup filtered honey
1/2 cup pure maple syrup... it costs a bit more but is worth it to avoid unneccesary additives.
2 tbs garlic powder
1/2 gallon of water
Mix these ingredients together until water is super saturated, meaning that there is no sediment and water is very dark in color like mollasses.
Now remove pin bones and cut the filet into 1 inch wide strips across the length of the filet.
you can choose to filet the skin off before or after this step.
layer the pieces of meat in the brine in a glass dish that will hold the contents. Do not use metal bowls or most plastics. Glass is the best.
Let the mixture brine for 8 to 18 hours. The longer the saltier.
I have found that 8 to 12 hours actually works best.
remove the fish meat and place skewers through the thickest portion of the meat, backstrap... and hang to air dry for 2-4 hours. Do not pat dry or rinse.
The smoke time I use is based on an aussie charcoal water cooled smoker.
I only use 2-3 charcoal chunks, the wood ones not the briquets.
I also use Alder wood for the smoke.
The smoker internal temp should be between 100 to 120 degrees F.
Hang the meat the same way you did when drying it, in the smoker. Smoke the meat until edges are transluscent. Usually about 5-12 hours depending on size of filet.
A glaze can be made from 3 tbs honey and 1 tbs apple cider vinegar, 1 cup water to be applied only once halfway through smoking.

The world flowed in; whatever we liked we took:
For its hair, the gold curls of the November oak
We saw on our walk;
Snowberries that make a Milky Way in the wood
For its tender hands; calm screen of the frozen flood
For our care of its childhood.
But the birth of a child is an uncontrollable glory;
Cat's cradle of hopes will hold no living baby,
Long though it lay quietly.
And when our baby stirs and struggles to be born
It compels humility: what we began
Is now its own.
For as the sun that shines through glass
So Jesus in His Mother was.
Therefore every human creature
Since it shares in His nature,
In candle-gold passion or white
Sharp star should show its own way of light.
May no parental dread or dream
Darken our darling's early beam:
May she grow to her right powers
Unperturbed by passion of ours.
Soldiers Bathing
The sea at evening moves across the sand.
Under a reddening sky I watch the freedom of a band
Of soldiers who belong to me. Stripped bare
For bathing in the sea, they shout and run in the warm air;
Their flesh, worn by the trade of war, revives
And my mind towards the meaning of it strives.


text: NI medics save lives at trauma centre 06 Mar 2013 More than 30 medics from Northern Ireland are working on the frontline at a warzone hospital in Afghanistan which, with a 98% survival rate, is the world's best trauma centre. Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast The doctors and nurses are part of a team of people at Camp Bastion Hospital, who normally work in the NHS.But instead, during their time with the Army, they are helping to man the largest army hospital in the warzone. Paul Clark spent a day at the hospital, where he witnessed seven injured service men and women brought through the front doors in a thirty-minute period."[It] might tax some hospitals but actually for us we have eight trauma bays, four operating tables, actually when we got the people in it all went very well," Medical Director Paul Parker explained.The hospital is linked with a centre in Birmingham which can instantly see the medical scans and information that are taken at Camp Bastion, so if patients are transported home a medical team there will have a treatment plan ready for them.The Territorial Army and regular Army work side by side at the hospital to aid soldier's recovery."I think you can look round this hospital you can't tell who is territorial and who is regular, we all work together," Col Parker added."Yes we joke about things like Tuesday night drill halls and stuff but actually it is two armies together as well."Northern Irish volunteer at the Field hospital, Col Alan Black says they play a crucial role in operations there.He said: "The important question to ask is not of me but really of the casualties, do they notice any difference in between a reservist and a regular soldier officer?"The answer is going to be no they don't, what they are interested in is optimal level of medical care and that is what they get." © UTV Share Share Share

- 1 PhDs
- 4700 Students
- Public Institution Type
At SOAS, you can choose from a range of programmes in the arts, humanities, languages, law or social sciences, each with global relevance and specialist teaching in the regions of Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
Whether you want to specialise in a specific geographical region or gain knowledge of a range of global issues, our flexible programme structure allows you to tailor your programme according to your interests. Every student is also offered the opportunity to learn a language alongside their programme through the Language Entitlement programme.
Many organisations offer scholarships or grants. Some of these might help you to study for a PhD at SOAS, University of London!
The SOAS Library is one of only five National Research Libraries in the UK, with more than 1.2 million items and extensive electronic resources in 400 languages. As the national library for the study of Africa, Asia and the Middle East it attracts scholars from all over the world.
Dedicated language laboratories and two open-access language resource rooms are available to language students, and a recording studio provides facilities for the production of audio and video. Students and staff also have access to satellite television offering up to 80 channels.
The Brunei Gallery hosts a changing programme of contemporary and historical exhibitions from Africa, Asia and the Middle East. With permanent rotating displays of the SchoolÆs own collections in the Foyle Special Collections Gallery and the Japanese Roof Garden, the gallery is a stimulating space on Museum Mile in London. ItÆs open Tuesday to Saturday and admission is free.
SOAS has recently acquired the North Block of the University of London Senate House, which is due to open in summer 2016, just as we celebrate 100 years since the School was founded. This iconic, Grade II listed building was designed in the 1930s to rival Oxford and Cambridge. As SOAS embarks on its second century, it will offer state of the art research, teaching and student provision, all in one precinct.
SOAS is known around both the University of London and the wider community in Bloomsbury as a social hub. Our Junior Common Room is famous for its music scene, helped by the output of the much-acclaimed SOAS Radio, having played host to everyone from Manu Chao to Nirvana. Our bar has served for decades as the home of after-hours discussion, debate and other important activities.
From BrixtonÆs cafés, to the art rooms in Hackney, from the restaurants on the route of the Notting Hill Carnival to the waterside pubs in Greenwich, SOAS students are known in every corner of the London community for their friendliness and diversity.
At SOAS, the capitalÆs rich intellectual, cultural and social life is on your doorstep, and you can choose from a huge range of attractions and opportunities that suit every taste and budget. Being a student at SOAS Ś which means you are also a student at the University of London Ś gives you a chance to enjoy the finest cultural attractions on offer.
SOAS is located between the City of London and the West End, and just around the corner from the British Museum, so students are only a short walk away from a wealth of galleries, theatres and museums, palaces, parks, squares, restaurants and shops, as well as LondonÆs famous and familiar landmarks, such as the Elizabeth Tower (home to Big Ben), the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar Square.
Together with the ISIC Association and British Council IELTS, StudyPortals offers you the chance to receive up to £10000 to expand your horizon and study abroad. We want to ultimately encourage you to study abroad in order to experience and explore new countries, cultures and languages.
