No matter the topic, people generally always feel like there is plenty of time to change something. It could be our diet, how often we work out, how much we read, interact in our personal relationships…and so on. After all, it's hard to stop something now and immediately change how we do things. It is so much easier to say that we'll begin our new journey tomorrow…or the day after, etc. But pretty soon…somewhere down the line, change rarely happens; and before you know it, things are too late.
Of all the things we have to change immediately, it is how we use energy. Our home depends on it…you know, Earth, the beautiful blue ball that is becoming ever increasingly polluted. We've all taken nature's treasures for granted. Instead, we tap more and more into resources that taint all we hold dear—such as fossil fuels. We now have issues, like greenhouse gasses and oil spills that must be addressed and remedied. In 2014 alone, 1,056,688.21 gallons of oil spilled into the ocean. It's devastating to wildlife and to us.
Going solar can make a big difference right now; it'll also pave the way for a better tomorrow. Did you know that every three minutes, someone switches to solar power? And this one change is not only better for the environment; it's also better for your wallet. Switching to solar power can reduce energy costs up to 40 percent.
Solar power reduces how often you use power from your utility company. So not only does it provide clean, renewable energy, it limits the need for crude energy resources. Within 30 years from now, a solar power system can offset 30 tons of CO2.
If you want to save even more money, there is currently a Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) that expires on December 31, 2016. What the ITC provides is a 30 percent residential tax credit. At the end of 2016, the Solar Investment Tax Credit will no longer be available to homeowners; but there will still be a commercial tax credit for businesses (but that too will be reduced to 10 percent).
As more people turn to solar to power their homes, new companies are entering the solar sector. This means equipment and installation costs are much lower than before. So, solar is affordable and it's natural. An entire solar system install may cost anywhere between $15,000-$29,000 for an average-size system. Those numbers practically pay themselves with the amount of savings they generate throughout the years.
In terms of aesthetics, solar panels have also come a long ways. Before, they used to put a damper on curb appeal; but that's no longer the case. Solar equipment has been refined and replaced by much sleeker, newer solar panels. Check out http://www.see.solar/ to learn more about solar and how to get it for your home.
If you run your own business, you may be thinking about ways to give back to the environment, especially if you're an eco-conscious consumer and you're concerned about leaving behind a better, cleaner planet for future generations.
Thankfully, there are plenty of ways that you can give back to the environment through the efforts of your business and its everyday activities. Check out the tips below for a few options you can start with today.
Make Yearly Donations in Large Amounts
A large annual donation to a great charity that is doing wonderful work for the environment around the world is a perfect way to give back by simply sharing your earnings with those who need money to keep doing what they do every day. Plus, because donations are tax deductible, you can also benefit from this giving spirit when tax season rolls around.
This is one of the easiest ways that you can give back, so look for various environmental charities, such as Dancing Star Foundation, and donate to several different ones to help them accomplish a variety of important projects.
Donate a Portion of Every Sale to Charity
Rather than making a lump sum donation at the end of the year, you can give to a charity throughout the year as well by simply donating a portion of every sale that is made. Putting this information on your products' labels, on your website, and on your social media pages will ensure that your customers know how altruistic your company really is, and this could also encourage a lot more consumers to turn to your company and support you over the competition.
Again, this is really simple because you just have to locate an environmental group that is doing amazing work around the world to conserve vital habitats and endangered species, and then partner with them to show them your support.
Host Fundraising Events
To raise awareness about environmental issues while at the same time having fun and raising money that can be donated, you can set up and host a variety of fundraising events one or more times throughout the year.
This is a wonderful way to get the local community involved and to promote your company as one that really cares enough to give back in big ways. Whether you host a formal dinner party, a dance party with a specific theme, a tricky tray event, or a sporting event, the goal is to educate others about the issues that you care about while encouraging them to participate and donate money through ticket sales, promotions and giveaway contests, sales at the event, and more.
In addition to doing something great for the environment, giving back also provides you with plenty of benefits for your own company. For example, you'll develop a positive reputation and garner a lot of respect from the community, and you may even meet other great businesspeople with whom you can network for mutually beneficial working relationships. So go ahead and do something good for the planet and wildlife.
It's hard to imagine your bustling behemoth of a warehouse being eco-friendly.
As you look out from your office upon endless rows of products and hundreds of overworked employees who look like assiduous ants, you smugly count your profits and laugh manically at the thought of ever becoming a friend of the environment.
But, as Bob Dylan famously sang, the times they are a-changin' …
While devilish business practices may put more wonga in your wallet, turning your back on processes that are beneficial to the environment may see your business eventually shunned by its conscientious customers.
Doesn't seem fair, does it?
However, modern consumers are rightly concerned with not only how their products and services are made, but how they're handled along the way – which can influence their buying decision if your link in the chain is found wanting.
By making your firm's warehouse green, though, you can start to implement other changes throughout the business that will curry favour with customers and benefit the environment. Here are a few tips on how your firm can get started …
Call in the Experts
Although the internet is great for settling arguments about who played Sloth from The Goonies (John Matuszak) or finding out the boiling point of milk (212.3 degrees Fahrenheit), it's not much good at pointing out less obvious holes in your company's eco-friendliness.
As a result, make sure you call in the environmental experts who can give your warehouse the once over and help you formulate a strategy to quickly stop your business becoming an unmitigated PR disaster.
Choose a Mezzanine Floor
While it's tempting to spread your corporate wings and move to bigger and better premises as your profits increase, the ecological effects of a sprawling new warehouse are damaging. Consequently, it's vital to consider working with what you have to create more space.
One of the easiest ways to do this is by installing a warehouse mezzanine floor, which will fit in the gap between your floor and your ceiling, allowing you to make the most of this space for storing more products or a new office for your hardworking employees.
Harness the Sun's Power
Solar power in the UK is on the rise and with almost 650,000 solar installations boasting a total capacity of over 5,000 MW of solar power, countless homes and business around the country are keen to hop onboard.
Indeed, these sun harnessing beauties may not overtake other power sources, they will often act as a supplementary outlet, allowing you to cut down on your use of fossil fuels and make sure your business runs kicking and screaming into the new dawn of alternative energy.
Many websites, like this one, have taken on the challenge of trying to promote healthy living and environmentally friendly living by promoting what's positive and negative to the environment. It's all well and good having the information and writing an article to try to present the writing in a easy to read fashion, however, if the website has clashing colours, low resolution pictures, buttons that don't work etc, chances are that the user will just click the back button and won't even attempt to read the information presented. You may not think that web design is important for green and environment sites but you'd be wrong. Everything needs to be displayed clearly and efficiently whilst the website needs to be easy to navigate through. Because web design is so vital for green sites, I spoke with a web design business in Essex about some of the best designs they've seen for eco sites and what makes them so effective.
Probably the most famous wildlife and environmental issues site there is, the WWF website has an easy to read user-friendly homepage and sub pages attached to it. This enables clear reading and presentation of the important information. It has the most recent and important issues clearly displayed, such as becoming a WWF member and helping to save the rainforest, whilst also having large and clear photos which clearly show the visitor what species they are protecting and where. The website design is efficient yet not boring. It's the perfect combination!
Live Science
This website is more science related than specifically all about animals and the environment, however, the health and planet earth sections of the website is well known as being very popular for green enthusiasts. The website has a standard top banner style with the various different sections displayed clearly at the top, whilst the moving photo section in the middle of the homepage instantly grabs your attention. This is really a great design.
Green Lichen
This website primarily focuses on pictures on the homepage to entice the visitor to click on the article that interest them the most. However, the text that accompanies it is cleverly set on a faded black section of the bottom of the photo so the white text never clashes with the picture. The white background of the site is simply but very effective, which is basically all you want to have when presenting important information like this website does.
Everyone who has a garden knows how relaxing and unwinding it is sitting back with a nice glass of wine on a balmy summers evening whilst getting rid of the days stress. There's honestly nothing better. What some people don't realise is that having your garden and flowerbeds looking nice might require you to leave the sprinklers on it all afternoon. This results in a massive amount of wasted water and a very "un" environmentally friendly garden. So what techniques are there for you to stop wasted water and other un eco practices to keep your garden as eco friendly as possible? We spoke with Far Away Furniture, who specialise in teak garden sets and garden designs, about some of the practices they've encountered and they submitted to us some clever and interesting ways to keep your garden eco friendly during the summer months.
Harvest rainwater

If you happen to live in sunny California and the rain stays away most of the time, harvesting rainwater may not be on the top of your agenda, but you'd be wrong. Because of the lack of rain, every time it does rain it's important to harvest the water to use on your garden at a later date. Wasting water isn't needed in this modern day of age so staying eco friendly and collecting the rain is a great way of being greener. If you live in a rainy climate, this isn't such a pressing need, however it's still a good idea to implement during the summer months.
Less pesticide more natural

Most of you know that if you have a garden, annoying bugs and insects can often find their way in to your precious flowers and plants and can have a negative effect ton their growth. Using pesticides to prevent this from happening isn't particular healthy on the garden long term and not healthy on any other animals that might frequent your garden. Try to use natural alternatives and less pesticide like natural compost mixed in to the layers of soil.
Grow your own food

Nothing says environmentally friendly than growing your own food right? It's a lot easier than it sounds too! You can easily grow your own vegetables and fruit, depending on the climate of course, and there are plenty of places online that can advise you how to do it. Potatoes are a popular vegetable to grow as they require little maintenance and produce a larger yield. Also the versatility of the vegetable means you have a huge amount of ways to cook and eat them!

I recently put wordpress on my new website, http://www.hackknife.com
I got the theme uploaded, and I like the look. Only thing is the theme requires Features Images for each post, which was what I originally planned on doing, no mater what the theme. But when I went to edit a post, and set a featured image, there was no where I could set an image. I am a long time user of wordpress, and have done it on my other blogs. This time, where it usually is, under the Tags section on the side, there is nothing at all. And when you upload an Image, sometimes it says use as featured image, that option isn't there either! Help please

Talk:Migrant worker
|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
|This article is the subject of an educational assignment at University of Utah supported by the Wikipedia Ambassador Program during the 2013 Spring term. Further details are available on the course page.
No longer a stub?[edit]
Maybe this needs to be expanded
I've added some more material. it could be expanded further, especially about migrant workers in China, but surely it is beyond stub size? --GwydionM 18:19, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- I'm planning on adding additional material on migrant workers in China, as well as likely creating a full article - there's a lot of research deserving a full featured discussion on its own page. GavinCross (talk) 21:07, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
It seems to be inconsistent that the Foreign worker section contains both Legal Definition of Migrant Worker and Migrant Worker Organizers sections. It would seem to make sense to move the Migrant-worker-related stuff from the Foreign worker section to this Migrant worker section, and link to it from the Foreign worker section.
- I agreeOsakadan 14:27, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Migrant worker seems to imply moving to survive, or to escape from poverty, whereas Foreign seems to merely mean "different nationality". So a university lecturer working overseas would be a "Foreign worker" rather than a "Migrant worker". LittleBen 14:18, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
I moved the confusing text about the United Nations use of this term to the bottom and repeated the point that the term is used differently in the USA. I am making an attempt to reduce the finesse' and obfuscation of our illustreious politicians as they worm their way through immigration reform. --The Trucker 03:44, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
Needs Fixing[edit]
Can we improve this page? I'd suggest merging "foreign worker" into this page and creating several sub-sections to describe different types of migrant workers (internal, foreign etc...), the changing definition of the term, etc... Wanzhen 09:30, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
Clarified worldview[edit]
I've changed the article around to try to give it a structure that has potential to get the worldview straight. Because the term is used in such different ways in different countries the solution I've tried is to break it up by country.
I agree with the commenter above who suggested that foreign worker should be merged here. For most of the world they refer to the same concept - someone working in a country that isn't their home country. For those countries that have a distinction between the two terms we can easily explain in that country's section the circumstances in which each term should be used. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 15:11, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
This page needs more information that explains the migrant more in detail. As in what happend that long ago. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 19:19, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
deleted advertising from this section and will update with more detail. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 04:29, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
What's the word for "someone who regularly works away from home" outside of US?[edit]
So how do you call "someone who regularly works away from home" outside of United States? Cause that situation is quite common in China as well, so there is a Chinese article on it, I have interwikied it to this article, but wish there is a better choice. --Voidvector (talk) 03:52, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
Major Changes and Expansions[edit]
My colleague and I wish to propose major changes to this page. Firstly, we would like to change the title from "Migrant worker" to "Migrant Labor" which focuses more broadly on the general theme and phenomenon more so than just the narrow scope of the individual worker. In terms of content, we wish to add sections on the gender issues associated with migrant labor, the safety issues and protection of migrant laborers, national vs. transnational migration, and migration and its effects on care labor and the family. We would appreciate any input or further ideas. FaithSara (talk) 02:14, 1 April 2011 (UTC), DArquero (talk) 02:16, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
- The proposed additions, providing they are well organized and written, meet the usual critera such as WP:RELIABLE, and don't duplicate things that other articles say, may indeed improve this article. Certainly we could do with a denser, carefully chosen, and strategically placed set of WP:BTW internal links to relevant articles. As for changing the article's name, I don't see the need. Jim.henderson (talk) 21:51, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
Migrant labor is a more general concept than migrant worker, and would be a better name for a revised article, as it can also encompass labor conditions, causes, etc.; is better linked to the relevant literature on this topic. Dpj363 (talk) 04:54, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
Migration and sex work as a specific type of labor[edit]
I plan on creating a page titled Migration and Sex Work. I think having pages/subsections specifically concerning the different types of labor that migrants seek would be a good idea, especially because these labor forms have significant differences in how prevalent they are, where they occur, and the types of issues that arise. I plan on creating a page on sex work performed by migrant laborers in different international contexts as an example of the type of article that could be created. Sex work as a specific labor sector in the larger literature of migration is significant not only for its prevalence among female migrants, but for the intense reaction state governments have had and the debates that have appeared that make it quite different in some ways from other forms of labor. The literature has shown that there is something about commercial sex as a form of migrant labor that has influenced and spurred larger debates on immigration, human trafficking, and gender inequality that do not necessarily arise in the same way regarding other labor sectors. A growing population of female migrants who engage in sex work over other forms of labor, formal or informal, is extremely prevalent in many regions and nations of the world I believe an article that summarizes not only the characteristics of migrant sex work, but also explains the context and reactions for migrant sex work would fill in many of the missing gaps and subsections on Wikipedia. I would love to get people's feedback on such an article, including how to keep it focused on the migrant laborer aspect of the article. Lillyyu (talk) 03:53, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
Women Migrant Workers[edit]
I want to revise the information on Women in the Nigerian state Migrant Workers prison that more fully describes the situations that women who leave their homelands for work abroad. Whereas this provides a good background into females involved in foreign markets, there is still much to be discussed and explored within the realm of migrant work. I want to provide more detail and more information on this topic, and also add a title of Women Care workers, as it is a more common position for these female care workers.Erinbb1 (talk) 06:01, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
US History Section[edit]
I deleted a significant portion of the US section and just wrote in a disclaimer. I did this because I do not know how to include those official looking boxes that caution against a poorly written section.
The portion about slavery was misinformed, and I genuinely think, had a hint of unreconstructed revisionism. It referred to the concentration of slavey in the South as a "myth." There are further problems without how immigrant and migrant works are described as being "brought in." This implies coordination, some kind of agency, when the truth was that these movements occurred mostly as the result of many independent decisions by the migrants themselves, not a policy of bringing people in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 00:16, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
Also a problem was the claim that migration began after slavery. This was not true in the North (the country is founded on migration), nor is it true in the South where large scale migrations was NOT common after slavery. Furthermore, that section of the article referred to the "importation" of labor from abroad. This is both a strange way to describe human migration, and completely misunderstands American immigration policy. I sadly do not have citations to back this up. The citations in the original article were rather obscure, and I believe misrepresented. I do not, however, want people to get the wrong idea. Better to leave some things out than spread misinformation.
My attempts to change this article just lead to it reverting.
- Please remember to sign with four tildes. Anyway I got rid of some of the above, but further consideration led me to the suspicion that my effort was wasted and the whole subsection is just a skimpy, haphazard and poorly sourced attempt at what History of immigration to the United States does much better. This in turn inspired a feeling that it ought to be reduced to, at most, a small paragraph without header and a MAIN template to direct the reader to that article. Anybody agree? Disagree? Jim.henderson (talk) 22:59, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
- Slavery was never migrant labor. At best, I could imagine this article hosting a link to the US slavery article, or a few sentences comparing migrant labor to slavery, supported by reliable sources. Binksternet (talk) 04:38, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
A US section needs to be added. There were many different laws authorizing, deauthorizing, deporting, and whatnot of migrant workers in the US in the last century and a half. But the history is now missing from the article, as are any links to other wiki pages. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 15:37, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

I would like a detailed explanation or a link to an explanation on how to get the WordPress search to include the photo descriptions and name in the search.
I would like a detailed explanation or a link to an explanation on how to get the WordPress search to include the photo descriptions and name in the search.
i used the search photos widget and i keep getting an error.
May we know what error?
A link to your site would also be usefull.
The site is on maintenance mode, it is http://www.laredorentacar.com I will turn off maintenance mode for the remainder of the day. It seems to be conflicting with Grunion contact form that I have in a widget. I think the error that is coming back is from the contact form, after doing the search, it returns the contact page with the form error, it appears to be trying to submit the form and not doing the search.
I did some enhancements. Now you can have a combined view of the 'normal' wp search results and the wppa+ search results.
I wrote an article on how to... (the detailed description you asked for initially). Please read this topic on the Docs and Demos site.
We were looking at the article but it requires a search.php file and the theme we are currently using "Headway Themes 2.0.13" doesn't seem to have a search.php fie. Any other suggestions?
If you send me the theme in a zipfile, i will look at it. (it is not in the wp themes depository?)
The link is in one of the previous posts, http://www.laredorentacar.com but it is in maintenance mode.
The theme is a premium theme that I wouldn't be able to zip for you. :(
If the theme behaves as it should do according to the wp specs on this topic, you can make a copy of your themes index.php and name it search.php and do the mods on that file. That should work.
See this page from wp docs about template hierarchy.
I don't want to hijack this thread, but would you be able to help me with mine? The search.php has different codes in it then what shows on the link you posted with directions
See your other thread

I am using Chart:Series which has ColumnSeries and LineSeries – The independentValueBinding is against date field. When there are large values the labels along x-axis get overlapped. So, I am trying to set the x-axis labels vertical. But havent been successful yet….
I answered a very similar question on the Silverlight Toolkit support forum a while ago:
The same basic technique of using the Toolkit's LayoutTransformer control should work for this scenario as well.
Hope this helps!
how could I apply string formats to the annotations e.g. N0, N2
also how can the y axis markers be formatted.
ideally, the dependant axis marker would be N0 while the column annotations would be N1 or N2, or the annotation formatted as NO and a tooltip displaying more precision.
this would take care of 95% of lob requirements 🙂
The use of "FormattedDependentValue" above means that you can use the "DependentValueStringFormat" property (also on DataPoint) to customize the annotations with something like "Sales was {0} units.".
Dependent axis labels can be customized in a similar manner as I show here:
Hope this helps!
Style TargetType="charting:ColumnDataPoint" is working. I have not updated the namespace. So it gave me an error.
I'm afraid I don't understand the problem. If you want to see this sample running against the latest version of the code, it's part of my DataVisualizationDemos application which you can download and run for Silverlight 3/4 and WPF 3.5/4 here:
Hope this helps!
Congrats on the really nice article.
Do you know how can I make the datapoint rectangle enlarge if the text annotation is large?
In my case all the data is dynamic, and sometimes, the chart has many series so each datapoint becomes quite small (in width) and an annotation like 1,000,000 doesn't fit in the rectangle so it gets truncated instead of enlarging the rectangle. Any other idea on how to display a large annotation is welcomed. thank you
While you won't be able to easily make the ColumnDataPoint larger (it would distort the entire chart), a handy technique is to wrap the annotation inside a Viewbox. The Viewbox can be configured to automatically shrink the text instead of clipping it. Alternatively, consider putting the text inside a Canvas (which doesn't do clipping) – that might avoid the clipping with your current text/size.
Hope this helps!
Hi David,
Your article really helped me. Thanks.
I've used your idea in my project but I have one small problem. I'm placing the annotation on the top of the column bar but when the bar is really tall the top part of the annotation is only partial visible. Probably there is simple solution to this but I can't figure it out. 🙁
Martina Harris,
Remember, I said it was a hack… 🙂
It sounds like the text is getting clipped by the PlotArea/ChartArea – the easiest solution might be to allow some extra space at the top to accomodate the label. If you know the range of your data, you can do that by specifying a Maximum value on the vertical Axis (and adding one if you don't already have one). If not, it might be a bit trickier. Another idea might be to put the text inside a Popup or a Canvas because both of those can be used to side-step clipping issues like this (though it'd take a bit of experimenting to sort out exactly how to go about that).
Alternatively, just remove the "-20" vertical margin from the Grid (see above). This will move the annotation from sitting on top of the *outside* of the bar to being at the top of the *inside* of the bar (basically just the opposite of the first example above where the annotations are at the bottom) – and therefore clipping won't be an issue because the annotation won't stick out anywhere.
Hope this helps!
Your article really helped me. Thanks.
I have same problem as Martina Harris. Can you post any example how to solve this issue with annotation within really tall bars
Thanks for this nice article
I have a problem with IsSelectionEnabled=True
My column does not select, what changes shall I do in template to work.
Please help me
Does selection work without the modifications described above? If so, you can find the original template in the source code for the Data Visualization assemblies – maybe try starting from there to see if that help identify what's different?
Thanks for quick reply
So there's no way to use an unrelated list of strings to annotate the top of the columns?
As you can see above, the TextBlock for the annotation has access to Binding and TemplateBinding – so you should be able to point it to any content you want to display.
Thank you for that answer! I don't understand what you're talking about but at least I know it can be done and I'll learn more about binding. Thanks for your time!
I read the article
Now I want to add more data to the Chart,but the operating results are not ideal.Before the addition of XAML:
<Window x:Class="WPFToolkitChartScrollDemo.MainWindow"
Title="MainWindow" Height="400" Width="500">
IndependentValueBinding="{Binding Name}"
DependentValueBinding="{Binding Quantity}"
ItemsSource="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType=Window}, Path=Parts}"/>
And After the additon of XAML:
<Window x:Class="WPFToolkitChartScrollDemo.MainWindow"
Title="MainWindow" Height="400" Width="500">
IndependentValueBinding="{Binding Name}"
DependentValueBinding="{Binding Quantity}"
ItemsSource="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType=Window}, Path=Parts}"/>
IndependentValueBinding="{Binding Name}"
DependentValueBinding="{Binding Quantity}"
ItemsSource="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType=Window}, Path=Parts2}"/>
When the scroll, only the series[0] data series change, while series[1] did not change.
Can you help me?
Thanks in advance!
The problem with the scroll bar Chart,
I'm not familiar with ScrollableColumnSeries – you'll probably get a better answer if you ask the author of the ScrollableColumnSeries code/post instead.
Thank you for your reply!
Thanks David,
I have issue when using Simple Column Annotations – Bottom. All labels is cutoff if i using below data. Do you have any solution to fix it?
var items = new List<KeyValuePair<string, double>>();
items.Add(new KeyValuePair<string,double>("Dog", 4));
items.Add(new KeyValuePair<string,double>("Cat", 1));
items.Add(new KeyValuePair<string,double>("Fish", 2));
items.Add(new KeyValuePair<string,double>("Chicken", 4));
DataContext = items;
My guess is that the vertical axis is starting at a value larger than 0 because of the data values you're using. If memory serves, you can set the ShowOrigin property on the vertical axis to prevent that and then I'd expect the annotations to show up as you want.
Thank for quick reply,
Yes, it starting at a value lager than 0. After I set the Minimum="0" in Axis all the labels appear again.
<DVC:LinearAxis Orientation="Y" Minimum="0"/>

Winkler talked about his battle with dyslexia, the struggle to get casting directors to see beyond the Fonz, and his love for Austin barbecue. He also offered a lot of advice. We've collected his best advice in this 90-second clip. Listen: Uber's Rapid Growth Pits Innovation Against Existing Laws By Elise Hu • Jun 12, 2014 To see the speed of technological innovation, look no further than a street corner.

The 1.3 mile boardwalk completes a 10-mile loop of trail around the lake. While a boon to runner and cyclists, the new boardwalk also lets users view downtown Austin from a fresh vantage point. Many in Austin have already utilized the boardwalk to capture new perspectives of the city after this weekend's grand opening. How to Sound Like You're From Austin (in 90 Seconds) By Wells Dunbar & Matt Largey • Jun 9, 2014 Jorge Sanhueza-Lyon/KUT What do you think of when you think of Austin? Live music, hot summers, breakfast tacos and the people come to mind for starters. But spend a little time here, and another thing jumps out at you – the "Austin correct" pronunciation of local streets and landmarks. Take Guadalupe Street across from the UT Campus – pronounced Gwad-a-loop by generations of students and residents. We Spent a Day Blowing Glass.

Austin Favorite Sarah Bird's New Novel Travels New - and Old - Ground By Emily Donahue • May 29, 2014 Filipa Rodrigues Austin novelist Sarah Bird has been writing for a while.

By Joy Diaz • May 28, 2014 flickr.com/polymerchemist The deadline to file a protest regarding your property tax appraisal is fast approaching – Monday, June 2. Many people in Travis County are shocked to learn how much their property values – and consequently, their property taxes – might go up this year. County officials say valuations have risen roughly 15 percent on average this year. But as seen in this local Reddit discussion, many homeowners are facing 25 percent and 30 percent increases – and higher. Sticker shock is so prevalent, Travis County Commissioners say their phones haven't stopped ringing from residents calling, asking for help. Austin's the Only Fast-Growing City in the Country Losing African-Americans By Emily Donahue & David Brown • May 16, 2014 flickr.com/wallyg The overall Austin population exploded between 2000 and 2010, growing by more than 20 percent. But a University of Texas study [PDF] finds that Austin was the only U.S. city experiencing double-digit population growth that saw its African-American population not only not keep pace, but actually decline. "Among the ten fastest-growing major cities in the United States, Austin stood out in one crucial respect: it was the only such city that suffered a net loss in its African- American population," says study author Dr. Eric Tang. "Indeed, between 2000 and 2010, Austin was a statistical outlier; it was the only major city in the United States to experience a double-digit rate of general population growth coincident with African-American population decline." Gentrification or a Renaissance in Austin's Dove Springs Neighborhood? By Joy Diaz • May 16, 2014 Ilana Panich-Linsman/KUT Dove Springs in Southeast Austin is just six miles from downtown – what many real estate agents consider a prime location. But the area is also one of the poorest parts of Austin. And for decades, it's had a less than desirable reputation. Despite all that, change is coming to Dove Springs – with some believing they're witnessing the beginning of gentrification. The area has traditionally been filled with low-income renters, many who are recent immigrants and don't speak English. Data may still point to those facts. But on the ground, the neighborhood is going through what many believe is a fast transformation. Five Things You May Not Have Known About Eeyore's Birthday By Wells Dunbar • Apr 28, 2014 Marissa Barnett for KUT News Update: See some photos from Eeyore's 2014 bash below. Original story (April 25): It doesn't get much more Austin weird than Eeyore's Birthday Party – the annual Pease Park bacchanal known for outrageous costumes and booming drum circles. This Saturday, April 26 is the 50th anniversary of the party. To mark the occasion, KUT News puts down the turkey leg to bring you five things you may not have known about the long-running festival. It started as a UT thing. Scott Sexton is the president of the Friends of the Forest foundation, the Austin nonprofit that puts on Eeyore's birthday. He notes that the first celebration was dreamt up by UT English major Lloyd Birdwell Jr. and his fellow students. Austin Runner Returns to Finish Boston Marathon By Gretch Sanders • Apr 21, 2014 flickr.com/marc_buehler Nearly 300 runners from the Austin area will be participating in the Boston Marathon today. It's a group undeterred by two explosions that ripped through the crowds at the race last year, killing three spectators and wounding more than 260 others. For many runners, the marathon ended abruptly. Race organizers invited most of those athletes back to run again this year. One Austinite isn't passing up that chance. Austin Dropout Recovery School Faces Closure After 30 Years By Joy Diaz • Apr 14, 2014 Filipa Rodrigues for KUT News. The fate of an Austin charter school that has run a dropout recovery program for more than 30 years will be decided later this month. American Youthworks faces closure under a new law that allows the Texas Education Agency to revoke licenses from underperforming charter schools, thus opening those licenses to other organizations. TEA spokesperson Debbie Ratcliffe says Senate Bill 2 is pretty clear. That's the law passed last year that, among other things, gave TEA teeth to revoke the licenses of failing charter schools. "If a school has received the state's lowest, either academic or financial, rating for three straight years, it automatically is closed," Ratcliffe says. Historic Architects Look to Preserve a Rapidly Changing Austin By Joy Diaz • Apr 9, 2014 Ilana Panich-Linsman, KUT News Austin's growth has been fast and furious. And due to the speed with which the city is growing, many historic structures have disappeared. That's why all this week, historic architects from across the world are in Austin, focusing on the city as a sort of case study: what's OK to demolish and what deserves to be preserved. Historic architecture can range from churches to bridges and businesses. One historic business is Anthony's Laundry & Dry Cleaners off of West Lynn Street, in the Clarksville neighborhood. Why Some Stores Fail and Others Thrive in Austin's Second Street District By Joy Diaz • Apr 1, 2014 Callie Hernandez for KUT News Update: Toy Joy was bought Monday by Fred Schmidt, owner of Wild About Music on E. Sixth Street. Schmidt told Time Warner Cable News he plans to keep the store downtown. "We're going to continue with this business as it has been — only make it more successful than it has [been] in recent years," Schmidt said. "We're very committed to Toy Joy, its concept, its premise and what it has been in Austin for several decades now." Original story (March 31): Toy Joy will be auctioned off today. The iconic Austin store closed its doors on March 16, after struggling for the last few years. In 2013, the owners thought a new location in a hip part of town would help, so they moved from Guadalupe Street – close to the Drag – and into downtown's Second Street District. But Toy Joy didn't make it. Austin Toy Museum Looks to Open Next Year By Joy Diaz • Apr 1, 2014 Joy Diaz, KUT News A new museum is getting ready to open in Austin, but this one doesn't focus on art or state history. This one is all about toys. A group of Austin collectors are creating a home to display vintage toys, ranging from the 1900s to the 1980s. Caleb Zammit is part of the group putting together the museum. He's been collecting toys for years. Right now, his collection of over 200,000 toys is neatly arranged in almost every room of his house. In Time for SXSW, a Brief History of Austin's 'Don't Move Here' T-Shirts By Wells Dunbar • Mar 7, 2014 The story of Austin's various "Don't Move Here" t-shirts is, in many ways, the story of Austin itself: the transformation of an undiscovered secret into something much bigger. While the "Don't Move Here" meme certainly predates its first recorded t-shirt printing – not to mention the concept of a "meme" itself – modern history posits spring 1997 as the time it was first put to cotton. It was then that Austin pop-rockers The Wannabes minted a batch of merch bearing the slogan. Austin Drivers Should Slow Down in School Zones Today Though Lights May Not Flash By Laura Rice • Feb 17, 2014 commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Lan56 Many area school kids are in class today despite the Presidents' Day holiday. They're making up for a day missed due to winter weather. City of Austin Transportation crews are working to manually re-program flashing school zone lights warning drivers to slow down. But only about one-sixth were ready before the start of school this morning. "If a driver comes up to a school zone and they know that the school is in session and the flasher aren't going, they should use that same level of caution, drive slower and be aware of students in the area," city spokesperson Samantha Park said. Presidents to Gather in Austin this Spring for Civil Rights Summit By David Martin Davies • Feb 17, 2014 Yoichi R. Okamoto / Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum The history and the current state of the civil rights struggle will be examined at a three-day summit in Austin this spring. The conference will focus on President Lyndon Johnson's civil rights legacy. The Civil Rights Summit will be held April 8-10 at the LBJ Presidential Library – and will mark the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Civil Rights Act by President Johnson. Mark Updegrove, director of the LBJ Presidential Library, says two former presidents have confirmed their attendance: Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. President George W. Bush has not yet confirmed, and there is the possibility of President Barack Obama attending. Pages« first ‹ previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 … next › last »

Over 65? You Have a Choice of Flu Vaccines.
When it comes to influenza (flu) shots, older adults have an extra option.
In addition to the regular-dose influenza vaccine, people 65 and older have the option of being vaccinated with a high-dose vaccine made to bring about a stronger immune response. This stronger formulation was developed because people's immune systems weaken as they age, making older adults more likely to catch the flu. Aging also lowers the body's ability to have a strong immune response after getting the flu vaccine.
Extra Risk
The flu can be especially dangerous for older adults. According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, 90% of flu-related deaths and over half of flu-related hospitalizations occur in people 65 years of age and older.
The stronger flu shot, called the Fluzone® High-Dose Influenza Virus Vaccine, is designed to provide better protection against the flu. More studies are being done to see if the high-dose offers more protection.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommend annual flu vaccination for protection against the flu; however, at this time neither agency has voiced a preference for one vaccine over another. Your best choice? Ask your doctor which version is best for you.
If You Get the Flu
Flu shots are your best bet for good health, but they are not 100% effective. Call your doctor right away if you develop fever, chills, fatigue or other flu symptoms. He or she may prescribe an antiviral medication that can help you feel better faster and may help prevent flu-related complications. These medications work best if you start them within two days of developing symptoms.

Nice idea.
hei fool, that's all you know in english? "nice idea"?
what if I propose that you run and live in the mountains? Your answer is also "nice idea", right?:))
really now you are annoying with this "nice idea" over and over and ober again.
Is this the future? Cheap agencies making stickers to paste on traffic signs and other ads???
This is ridiculous. Advertise responsibly ffs. Those signs are there for safety.
Ok, now signboards are like getting really really old as an idea for a communication medium...
Think fresh, ppl...!!!
I think; therefore I am
Compared to what? I might as well say on 70% of the ads here "Ok, now television is like getting really really old as an idea for a communication medium." Or paper is getting old!
It's not new anymore, that's what you're trying to say.
"Ad_Man | Tue, 2010-01-05 01:45
I think it's cool. Skater guys that hang around the streets will like these."
No Ad_Man, he won't. I do skate and I do hate these stickers. They also look like shit. And, stickers? Really? Shouldn't we be creating better stuff than this? For how to reach the skater I'd rather have a look at this (student work, not executed in real life, but still a great idea): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7WCzNvlA8w
Hey! www.clandestino.mx was made before the Element idea. It's nice, but nothing new.
Enough with the defacing of signs. Seriously.
This is the same thing as those God awful spray paint stencils that were so "popular" a few years back. Yeah, it's FREE, but it's ILLEGAL. Which, believe it or not, is a pretty sure fire clue that this is SCAM.
Come on people. Try a little harder, shall we?
"I love some things, and don't love some other things."
This will confuse the drivers - should have been little more innovative
finding the sign-boards again...may find many more stickers or ads sticked on the sign board...is it a sign-board or bill-board?
All the stickers were 100% easily removable vinyl not traditional style stickers.
You are all a bunch of design nerds. Skating is against the law dipshits.
Refacing street signs causes people to wake up in this case. It
is not always about originality, occasionally there is a justified
act in defiance made explicit upon government property. You dudes are lame.
Get a haircut.
How do these dipwads think they came up with this? Kids have been doing this for 20 years. Tell your Copy Writer that its PRO SKATES not PRO SKATE. Think about where your money is going when you hire an ad agency..... To slush machines and weight rooms... bah! Get real dorks. Death of the Ad Agency.

Posted by Pawna
Samuel Gaylord gives personal attention no matter how small or how complex your case is, takes time to review your situation thoroughly, listen to your concerns, list all available options, and when things change due to unforeseen circumstances , he is on top of the changes, how the changes affect the case, and work hard to give you all the available options.
He never makes you feel you are not important because your case is small case, nor would he pass it on to one of junior attorneys in middle of your case.
I would highly recommend Samuel and his associates.

I have never used a zune, and decided to check it out before hiding it in the 'ol closet for christmas. I was a little surprised to find that I was getting no sound from the earphones, so I tried others that I know work, but still no sound. I fiddled around for a while, just to make sure that it wasn't on some kind of mute setting or something. Anyway, after much effort, I concluded that I had received a defective product from buy.com.
Imagine my surprise when the bottom line from buy.com is their return policy states that any returns to them MUST BE RECEIVED WITHIN 14 DAYS OF THEIR SHIPPING DATE. This means that once they "claim" to ship, the item must get to you, you must test it and possibly find it defective, you must then get an rma number from them (I don't know how long this takes), then the item must ship to them and be received by them NO LATER THAN 14 DAYS AFTER THEIR ORIGINAL SHIP DATE.
What this means for me is that 5 days before I even received this item, I lost any chance of possibly recovering my money.
No "BARGAIN" is worth getting an expensive paperweight...DO NOT BUY FROM BUY.COM

I compared the number of auctions on each one. Basically if you have used quibids before they reduce the number of auctions that you can bid on. I took screen shots of each. On the one I had registered and used quibids before, I was shown about 1000 auctions I could bid on.. Pretty much all of the auctions were receiving bids.
I then logged onto a computer that had never been logged on to or had a cookie that quibids had been visited before. This was done simultaneously with both computers. On the computer that had never been logged onto quibids and never had visited I checked the total number of auctions I could bid on and that number came out to over 4000 many of them were not receiving bids.
I did a print screen on both and saved my data. I will soon be putting up videos on youtube as well showing the way quibids works. Even though this company is registered with the better business bureau...I reported this to the BBB in Oklahoma. I received a very simple response of they like feedback from people but they never did anything about it.

There were 16 different Soldiers and 16 different styles as Soldiers stepped into the spotlight and on the stage showcasing an abundance of talent in song and dance Saturday at Wallace Theater as they vied for positions in the U.S. Army Soldier Show.
This is the first year the live talent evaluations have been open to the public. Judges included the installation commander's wife, Deborah Blixt.
Songs ranged from the many moods of Motown, to sassy and sexy 60s sounds, along with homegrown, hand-clapping, foot-stomping country classics. Throw in a roller-skater and musical selection from a horn and it made for a memorable afternoon.
"It's a great variety and I'm pleased with the talent that performed today," said Victor Hurtado, production director for the Army Soldier Show. The selected Soldiers will go on to be the troop that provides six months of "Entertainment for Soldiers, by the Soldiers" with more than 100 performances scheduled for 2009 at 50 Army locations worldwide.

Golovkin Eyes Martin Murray Defense on November 2nd
Gennady Golovkin wants to defend his WBA middlewight title against Martin Murray.
The unbeaten Kazakh underlined his credentials as a superstar in the making with a three-round destruction of Matthew Macklin at the weekend.
And, according to his manager, next on the agenda is another Briton in the shape of St Helens man Murray, whose latest world title bid ended in a disputed points loss to Sergio Martinez in Argentina in April.
"Gennady has already said that he wants to fight Martin Murray next," manager Oleg Hermann told WorldBoxingNews.net
"The problem is, we are told that Martin has big problems with his United States visa and cannot go to America.
"If he can get his visa and wants this fight, we have a date on November 2 and we can make this big fight happen at Madison Square Garden.
"As yet, we have had no answers back from Murray or his team on this matter."
Murray, who spent time in prison when he was younger, saw a Texas fight with Julio Cesar Chavez Jnr fall through last year because of visa problems.
The 30-year-old, who drew with Felix Sturm in his other contest at world level, subsequently lost his unbeaten record to Martinez despite flooring the WBC champion in the eighth round.
Murray is about the best realistic option , he appears more of a ordinary boxer who clearly lost to Sturm and was made to look better than he probably is against Martinez but he should give it a go might…Comment by LAPete on 07-04-2013

I had the unfortunate opportunity of attending this "academy" for a year and it was complete Hell. There is no freedom whatsoever. Jesus, and the Bible and constantly shoved down your throat and you will be openly rebuked and called "wicked" and "evil" among many other names if you don't conform to their beliefs. The things I saw when I was there were completely horrible. Girls were force-fed, medical needs were not properly taken care of, the school was a total joke and we were made to feel like we were abandoned and worthless and worthless if we weren't 100% on board with their extreme religious antics and rules. [continued below]....
I experienced and saw many horrible things when I was there. One time, I recall when two pale skinned girls forced to get a tan because the administrators thought they were trying to be "gothic" and rebel because they didn't want to get a tan like the other girls. They were forced to sit in the sun for 6-8 hours a day with tanning oil all over them and fried in the sun. They got horrible burns and it caused extreme pain, and they were not allowed to tell their parents.
All phone calls and mail going in and out of the school are very strictly monitored, if you say something to your parents that they do not like or say anything about the rules or going home they will cut off your phone call and tell your parents that you are lying or rebeling and haven't received the help you need yet, or make you re-write your letter your sending to your parents. Also if the parent sends a letter to their child that says something they don't like, the letter will be withheld from the child.
The tuition and medical expenses are a complete fraud, and with as much as they have been charging over the years, it would probably make them millionaires. They tote the students around the country, making them sleep on church pews, hard floors, or sometimes on the bus, so the students can sing and testify about how "great" New Beginnings is so they can collect donations and get prospective students. Not to mention all the donations they receive monthly from different churches and supporters around the country.
The food is terrible, they would normally get it for free or cheap from a local food bank and sometimes it would be expired or stored in unfitting conditions with rodents around. If you didn't eat everything they put on your plate you would be in major trouble and receive demerits. If you acquire more than 10 demerits in a week you will be put on 'discipline' which requires you to stand at the end of your bed or on a wall with your hands behind your back and nose touching at all times, only being allowed to sit down for 5 minutes every hour all day except for school, church and meals, where you are made to finish all of your food n 15 minutes (which is bland with no condiments or flavor because you are on discipline) and then go back and stand on your wall or bed. They also make you stay up an hour and half after everyone else has gone to bed with the more trusted girls watching you stand there with your nose on your bed, hands behind your back. Then being rudely awoken at 5:30am after very little sleep having to make your bed perfectly (or more demerits) and then go stand back on your bed, then you are allowed 15 minutes to get yourself completely ready to their standards (or more demerits) without using perfume, straighteners, or anything else they consider a "privilege" to have to get yourself ready with. (because you are on discipline)
Demerits are very easy to get. You can get one for something as little as not facing forward in line, talking, not covering your mouth when you cough, not using the bathroom in your allotted 30 seconds, not getting out of the shower in your allotted six minutes, plus many many more things.
They made us do manual labor, such as roofing, building, and cleaning up human sewage that had backed up all over their property and only being allowed a 10 minute shower. Very disgusting. There was work to do outside almost everyday and no matter if you were suffering in school, if they called you to work, you had to work.
Several people that have gotten out now suffer with PTSD, anxiety, and many other physical and mental health issues that they should not have to suffer with as a result of attending this school. A lot of people that have attended schools like this are now anti-religious and don't want to step foot near a church ever again, they are very damaging. And the sad part is, there are schools operating like this all over the country, this is only one out of hundreds. They are not state regulated so there is no one to go out and check on the students to make sure that they are taken care of and being treated right.
There are so many things I could say, it would take me a week to type it all up but I am writing this report mainly to inform parents to not send their child to New Beginnings Ministries in La Russell, Mo. We have a group of 120+ survivors that are fighting to have them shut down so teenagers can stop being abused. Please feel free to check out the links below, as two major News Sources have already ran articles on this abusive facility. If you are a survivor and would like to join our Facebook group, that link is below, also.
I also encourage you to check out our blogspot site listed below, there is more information and first hand accounts of what life at New Beginnings is like. Thank you for taking the time to read this and my hope is to see this place shut down for good. As my fellow survivor friend said "A childhood memory should not be survival".

Most resources are finite and we cannot produce an unlimited number of different goods and services
Indeed by supplying more for an ever-growing and richer population we are in danger of destroying the natural resources of the planet.
The Worldwide Fund for Nature has claimed that the natural world is being degraded "at a rate unprecedented in human history" and has warned that if demand continues at the current rate, two planets will be needed to meet global demand by 2050. Resources are being consumed faster than the planet can replace them
One issue is the threat posed by the shortage of water as the world's demand for household and commercial use continues to grow each year. Experts predict that half the world's population will be affected by water shortages in just 20 years' time. During the 20th century the world population increased fourfold, but the amount of freshwater that it used increased nine times over. Already 2.8 billion people live in areas of high water stress. For more on this issue visit the World Health Organisation's special web site on water scarcity.
At the heart of improving resource sustainability is the idea of de-coupling – trying to increase the efficiency with which resources are used and breaking the link between increasing demands and damaging resource depletion.
Renewable resources are commodities such as solar energy, oxygen, biomass, fish stocks or forestry that is inexhaustible or replaceable over time providing that the rate of extraction of the resource is less than the natural rate at which the resource renews itself. (This is important!)
This is a key issue in environmental economics, for example the over-extraction of fish stocks, and the global risks of permanent water shortages resulting
Finite resources cannot be renewed. For example with plastics, crude oil, coal, natural gas and other items produced from fossil fuels, no mechanisms exist at present to replenish them.
