B2C has taken the social media segment by storm. Social Media is a great platform for any company to market itself to the consumer and be in constant touch with the potential customers as well as the actual customers. But this has always been the case and holds true (according to many people/marketers) for B2C where the business is propagating to the final consumer. But many believe that it does not hold true for B2B marketing where one company propagates and lures another company and not an individual. Well, B2B has lagged behind in terms of social media marketing but is fast catching up on the trend and many B2B companies are now joining social media to get connected to their "clients and customers".
• Search engine a great place for most companies to find out about other companies, competitors, possible clients etc. Same holds true for B2B companies. The initial research is always the web! Then, why not social media? It is via SEO and social media marketing that a company can feature on the first page of the organic search. Thus, building up your presence on appropriate social media is a great idea!
• After B2B marketers are convinced that they need to be on the social media market, the next step is to decide which all platforms are necessary for them. Start with building a great and informative website which has a beautiful landing page, has many pictures of your products and services with detail about each, make some more pages which are relevant to your company and have a section for blogs. Blogs are a great way to drive the correct traffic to your website and increase awareness!
• Next, select special media platforms. Everything from a Face book page, Twitter account, Pinterest profile or a LinkedIn account can be useful. It totally depends what the products and services are. If your main business is to provide industrial catering (to offices, schools, universities etc.), then connecting with your audience is a must. A Facebook page which showcases all your events is a great idea. A Pinterest page with pictures of your food and special catering will drive the right traffic to your website!
• Social media and digital marketing is all about engaging your audience. Post contests and fun things and constantly reply and comment to your fans and followers. This will keep them engaged and convert them into loyal customers!
• Lastly, strategize and focus. No need to be all over the internet. Have a goal and strategize accordingly!

Gannon women's volleyball team sweeps Edinboro
Lauren Sazama registered 12 kills while Sarah Glancy and Jenny Olson combined for 15 more as Gannon swept Edinboro 25-15, 25-15, 25-22 Friday night in a PSAC match at the Hammermill Center.
The Knights (17-4, 9-2), who entered play with the PSAC Western Division's second-best record behind unbeaten (9-0) Clarion, wasted no time establishing control in the first game, scoring the first seven points and 19 out of the first 22 points to build a 19-3 edge.
Sazama registered five kills during that stretch while Glancy -- who finished with eight on the night -- and Morgan Reineke each had two kills during the run.
In the second game, the Knights used an 11-3 run to turn a 5-3 lead into a 16-6 edge and again was never threatened.
The Fighting Scots (7-15, 5-5), who got seven kills from Marah Maycock and 11 digs from Haley Marett, led for portions of the third game, but with the score tied at 22-22, Gannon ripped off the final three points of the night to secure the victory.

Lavoy Allen's impact in the Sixers' second-round playoff matchup with the Celtics, knotted at two games apiece with Game 5 to be played Monday in Boston, can't be overstated.
The 6-foot-9, 254-pounder logged almost 33 minutes against Boston in the Sixers' dramatic 92-83 come-from-behind victory Friday night at the Wells Fargo Center. As the Sixers came back from 18 points down in the third quarter, Allen grabbed a team-high 10 rebounds.
But his greatest impact has been at the defensive end.
With Elton Brand battling neck and shoulder injuries, Sixers coach Doug Collins has seen fit to use the physical and deceptively swift-of-foot Allen to guard future Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett.

Adapting to Dry Times: The Role of the Media in an Increasingly Arid West
Li Ka Shing Center for Learning and Knowledge
Stanford University
291 Campus Drive West
Stanford, CA
Join us to celebrate the winners of the 2011 Knight-Risser Prize for Western Environmental Journalism — Denver's 5280 Magazine — for its vibrant and informative coverage of Colorado's water crisis. Patrick Doyle and Natasha Gardner, who worked on the package for 5280, will join David M. Kennedy and Andrew Fahlund — from our Water in the West program — together with Sasha Khokha of KQED's California Report, who was part of a team that shared the judges' Special Recognition, in a lively discussion about innovative ways journalists can tell the stories and illuminate the challenges of water in the West.
David M. Kennedy, Moderator
David M. Kennedy is the Donald J. McLachlan Professor of History Emeritus and Faculty co-Director of the Bill Lane Center for the American West. Professor Kennedy received the Dean's Award for Distinguished Teaching in 1988. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in history in 1999 for Freedom From Fear: The American People in Depression and War. He received an A.B. in History from Stanford University and M.A. and Ph.D. from Yale University. Reflecting his interdisciplinary training in American Studies, which combined the fields of history, literature, and economics, Professor Kennedy's scholarship is notable for its integration of economic and cultural analysis with social and political history.
Natasha Gardner
Natasha Gardner is a writer and editor at 5280 magazine. From gritty investigations to craft beers, her writing focuses on the West. Her investigation of the Colorado foster care system ("Unwanted," December 2010 ) received multiple awards, including a prestigious Sigma Delta Chi Award from the Society of Professional Journalists. In 2010, she was a National Magazine Awards finalist for "Low on O2," a service package that explores the impact of altitude on day-to-day life in Colorado. Gardner has also appeared on Colorado Public Television to discuss her work and current affairs. She was a Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma Ochberg Fellow in 2011. Before settling in Colorado, she worked in book publishing in New York. She has a BA from Smith College and holds a master's degree in journalism from the University of Colorado.
Patrick Doyle

The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua has for a second time extended its deadline to pull out as management company of the troubled Ritz-Carlton Club and Residences at Kapalua Bay.
The company said that it has pushed back that date to Dec. 31 from a previous Monday deadline.
The Ritz-Carlton now appears to want to keep the project under its brand.
"We continue to evaluate all options to retain The Ritz-Carlton Club and Residences, Kapalua Bay in our brand portfolio and to continue to provide the legendary Ritz-Carlton service to owners and members at this property," Ed Kinney, vice president of public relations for The Ritz-Carlton Destination Club, said in an email to The Maui News.
"We look forward to continuing to work with the developer, the lenders and the associations to come to a long-term resolution for the club and residences that best serves the owners and members and that will allow us to move forward together toward a positive future," he said.
The company had initially told owners at the project that it would no longer manage the property after Sept. 10 "as a result of insufficient funding of ongoing operating costs."
Owners of 10 of the residence condominiums sued in June, alleging that the developer has "allowed the project to fall into disarray."
The lawsuit alleges that the developer was responsible for paying its share of the common area maintenance fees for the project's unsold condominium units, but that it stopped paying earlier this year, "thereby rendering the (apartment owners' association) and the project woefully underfunded."
The lack of operating funds for the homeowners association triggered The Ritz-Carlton's termination notice.
Separate from the lawsuit, lenders for the project foreclosed on the property in June in 1st Circuit Court.
Project developer Kapalua Bay LLC - a joint venture among affiliates of Maui Land & Pineapple Co., Exclusive Resorts and Marriott International - owes more than $304 million in principal and interest on the property, which opened in mid-2009 on the site of the former Kapalua Bay Hotel.
As a result of the foreclosure action, 56 residential condominiums along with 567 fractional-ownership interests in 62 time-share units will be sold at auction at noon Dec. 3 in Honolulu. The sale also will include leasehold interest in The Shops at Kapalua.
The assets will be sold as one piece, according to Honolulu attorney George Van Buren, the court-appointed commissioner in the foreclosure case.

So the 64-year-old was surprised when she received a stern letter last month from a Salem lawyer accusing her of illegally downloading a bloody Steven Seagal movie through an online file sharing program. She was given two weeks to pay $7,500, the lawyer for Voltage Pictures threatened, or she could face a judgment of as much as $150,000.
But Orlando says she's never streamed a movie or seen "Maximum Conviction," and hadn't heard of BitTorrent before the letter.
Carl Crowell, whose tiny firm represents Voltage, would not comment on the case. Since February, he's filed nine similar cases in federal court in the state, naming nearly 1,000 defendants.
Nationwide, around 250,000 "Does" have been named in such cases, according to Julie Samuels of the San Francisco-based Electronic Frontier Foundation, a group that lobbies and litigates for digital free-speech and consumer issues.
Plaintiff lawyers build these cases by identifying Internet protocol, or IP, addresses associated with movies downloaded to BitTorrent. They then subpoena service providers to hand over names of those customers and send letters such as the one Orlando received.
Consumer and copyright lawyers criticize the strategy because, they contend, it's meant to scare consumers into costly settlements to avoid the far greater cost of litigation. They liken it to a reverse class-action in which hundreds of defendants are named. That allows plaintiffs pay a singlefiling fee -- typically a few hundred dollars -- as opposed to filing and paying for hundreds of individual suits.
The lawsuits, they say, also leave a ripple of more damaging effects -- defendants being identified through a less-than-reliable mechanism, consumer data being released to third parties and an overwhelmed federal court system.
"It's terrifying, it's legal extortion," said Orlando, who'd never heard of BitTorrent before the letter.
"I won in the 'Bad Lottery,'" she said, "I didn't do anything, but now I have to get a lawyer and fight this."
Cases multiply
Court battles have raged in the past decade on how content should be used and shared online. Imagine those cases as eagles clashing high overhead seeking to balance the rights of creators and users.
To continue the metaphor, critics say, these cases are pigeons picking at the scraps.
BitTorrent-related copyright infringement cases began popping up in earnest two years ago in the Midwest and California. Early on, most had accused defendants of downloading porn. In those cases, defendants received notice that if they didn't pay around $2,000, then they'd be named in federal cases.
As firms found success in reaching settlements, the number of cases grew and spread geographically and across movie titles.
Among the nine suits filed in Oregon, Crowell has three on behalf of Elf-Man, a company associated with a movie by the same name that came out last year. In "Elf-Man," Jason "Wee Man" Acuña plays an elf who discovers that he is a budding superhero. Crowell has filed four on behalf of Voltage Pictures, which is associated with last year's "Maximum Conviction,"
"It went straight to video, it was a terrible picture," said Kelly Rupp, a Wilsonville-based copyright attorney who now represents Orlando. "This movie is worth $12.99 on Amazon. But these cases don't seek that. If all 371 'John Does' on this lawsuit ultimately pay $3,000 or $2,000, they're shaking down Oregon residents for more than a million dollars."
She has spoken with people identified in the suit who may be inclined to settle because they think paying a lawyer would only ratchet up their costs. Others try to defend themselves, swamping federal courts -- much less user-friendly than small claims -- with ill-conceived filings.
Still others ignore it all together. In at least one case, however, a judge in Indiana issued a default judgment against a no-show defendant for the maximum copyright penalty of $150,000.
Rupp and a colleague aim to gather multiple defendants to share costs and fight the plaintiff move to include them in a single lawsuit.
Defendants vary
A handful of judges have thrown out similar cases in other states saying large groups of defendants -- 5,011 in one case -- didn't have enough in common to be lumped together.
Orlando, for instance, has never used BitTorrent. When she and her husband watch movies, they order them through Blockbuster or turn to one of the many channels on their Dish Network system. She believes her name popped up on Crowell's search because of the small Internet provider that serves her rural Estacada community.
Reliance Connects of Estacada uses dynamic addresses, meaning the addresses aren't necessarily attached solely to one modem. Orlando says she was told the company distributes IP addresses among customers as they log on and that it can't track exactly who had what number when. Still, Orlando was frustrated to discover the company gave out her name and contact information when it was subpoenaed by Crowell.
Larger providers, such as Comcast, only change IP addresses occasionally in areas where many more homes or apartments are regularly added. And it has entire departments that track exactly which modems are attached at any given moment to a particular IP address.
Defenses to these copyright lawsuits run the gamut. Anyone who doesn't use a password to protect their wireless Internet runs the risk of a neighbor using their IP address to download movies illegally. Renters may be relying on an IP address used by someone who once lived there. Another defendant named in the Voltage case is in a senior care center, which has close to 100 people accessing its Wi-Fi, Rupp said.
In many cases, a child or grandchild is doing the actual downloading. But those held responsible contend that being asked to pay so much more than the actual price of the movie is egregious.
A number of consumer groups and copyright lawyers are keeping track on the Oregon cases to see how judges here will lean.
"Copyright law is intended to promote science and useful arts and the question is whether this (strategy) promotes that," said Leonard DuBoff, of the DuBoff Law Group in Southwest Portland. "This is federal court and I would guess that the average person on the street is going to be intimidated by this and try to do whatever they can to make it go away.
"It's going to be pretty frightening and that's why they're doing it."

Teens plead guilty in Erie robberies
Two teens, one of them not old enough to drive, pleaded guilty this morning in Erie County Court to felony charges stemming from separate armed robberies.
Shyheem Pacely, 15, faces up to 27 years in prison and a $40,000 fine after he pleaded guilty to felony charges of criminal conspiracy and theft stemming from the Nov. 3, 2012, robbery of the Himalaya Market, 448 E. 13th St.
In an unrelated case, Deontai Sparks, 16, faces up to 25 years in prison and a $35,000 fine after he pleaded guilty to criminal conspiracy to commit robbery and possession of a firearm by a minor in connection with a holdup that occurred Nov. 2, 2012, at Little Caesars, 1025 Parade St.
Sentencing is set for Oct. 28 and Oct. 29, respectively.
The teens entered their pleas today before Erie County Judge John Garhart after their requests to have their cases transferred to Juvenile Court were denied by Erie County Judge Shad Connelly.

Piketty vs. Summers on Capital and Labor
Former Treasury secretary and Obama economic adviser Larry Summers wrote an important review of Thomas Piketty's "Capital in the Twenty-First Century" last week. Mr. Summers and Mr. Piketty have similar politics, but their views diverge sharply on economics.
A central tenet of Mr. Piketty's worldview is that machines can smoothly replace workers in producing goods and services. In econ-jargon, this means: The elasticity of substitution between capital and labor is substantially greater than 1. Mr. Summers rejects this claim, writing: "I know of no study suggesting … the elasticity of substitution is greater than 1, and I know of quite a few suggesting the contrary." Mr. Summers, and most existing empirical estimates, contend that capital is a poor replacement for workers.
(Matt Rognlie deserves credit for first raising this concern in an April 10 blog comment.)

In Mr. Piketty's long-term context, capital can substitute for labor not just in producing the same goods but also when consumers shift toward more capital-intensive goods. Consider that in Jane Austen's books, the wealthy protagonists employ full-time coachmen and footmen. Today it's routine to see the owners of luxury vehicles pump their own gas. At issue is how much production can shift from labor to machines.
The disagreement matters because if capital is a good substitute for labor, as Mr. Piketty contends, then raising the minimum wage is a bad idea. Employers might then say: Goodbye, teenagers; hello, automated checkouts! Taxes and regulations that lard extra costs onto employment contracts are likelier to lead to capital-intensive production.
Mr. Piketty notes that capital has taken on more importance in Europe than in the U.S. If he is right about substitutability, then Europe's extensive labor restrictions may have motivated an early shift toward capital.

Picture shows the Mobile Honeybees Farm which is managed by Afghani people for production of Honey by using wood boxes (Colonies). The producing of Honey by these types of Colonies is a profitable way of earning as much its need experience. Four species of honeybees are found in Pakistan, the indigenous species are Apis dorsata, Apis cerana, and Apis florea. The occidental species is Apis mellifera.

In trail of a spice! - Food Memoirs and some ~ Egg Bhurji
"In trail of a spice!"- typically symbolizes the eternal trail after something in life. In pursuit of something that always seem to elude one. And without spice, there is no zing in life. In essence "In trail of a spice!" is the characters' journey through their life, trying to find their own meaning in this walk of life.
These are reflections of every day drama of ordinary people leading extraordinary life. They are here to share their passion, laughs, the highs and lows that life takes them through.
It's about Maya and Dev and their three children and their extended family, their memories of childhood with its laughter, the joy, the sorrow and their memories of pet dogs.
Disclaimer: This is purely a work of fiction, based scantly on real incidents. After all our everyday life is always full of inspiration for a work of art.
In Trail of a Spice - Part 1
In this age of Facebook and Linkedin, it's not a miracle. But it is a miracle that they got back together. She had spent the last 20 years without much of a friend and getting back all of them, was little overwhelming to handle. Maya has always been a tomboy. Be at home or at school, she only had boys for friends. She can never stomach girly talks or such. And the one girl friend she finally got, turned out to be same. Sandy was much like her to learn anything new.
In fact they both learnt and did lot of things that girls are expected not to do. Thoughts were distracted with the scenes that were unfolding. As in a movie, in a slow motion things started happening. She saw Ketan and Shan, her best buddies, hugging each other. What must have been some 12 years of lost years, was recollected in that tight hug of lost brotherhood, she guessed. They last saw each other at her wedding, an occasion they both forgot having attended.
The small reunion was quite an emotional outburst, but each one carried himself splendidly by not showing their feelings out. Maya did not think she would cry but she did. Good thing none saw her as they were so busy trying to come in terms with their own feelings. When there was a lull interim to catch their breaths, Maya took out a scrap book out to show her friends. She was the one with the muse among the lot. As she took it out, she remembered the many occasions she had flipped through those papers, remembering all those forgotten years of childhood. She had painted and penned words, expressing how it felt all those years ago.
The painting and the words were meant to be a gift to her friend, but never gave! She always wondered if she would ever have remembered if not for these lines.
"So, we are parting to enter the realm of mere mortals.
No doubt, even as I pen these lines, many will be paying you obsequious tribute.
Toadying, however, would be most unbecoming of our clan.
So, I shall bid you a more realistic farewell.
Well maybe I am just dreaming that we are parting but I know dreams come true
And I am still here believing that we will be pals for ever.
I am sure that you will not do too badly given you contacts.
And I am sure I am dreaming we are parting, only to meet in the next world!
Good Bye to you my loving Friend
F: Field of love!
R: Root of joy!
I: Island of God!
E: End of sorrow!
N: Name of hope!
D: Door of understanding!
is the miracle called friend, so keep in touch friend....
Hope you wouldn't forget me!
I wouldn't wish you success or all the best because I know you will come out with both of them
Miss you Friend!"
She showed those papers to the rest and then hastily put them back in, as she could sense couple of them were gearing up to tease her!
Slowly things were getting back to normal. Each one trying hard to come back to the present. The stories that surfaced, the jokes that were shared again, almost made them think they were back in their classroom.
Her friends always proved the statement wrong that backbenches were not the academic lot. Yes her friends were the rowdy lot yet brilliant folks, who always competed in coming first in the class. Yet when something notorious happened, teachers for sure knew where to point fingers.
Maya felt herself jolted to present and saw her friends in a different eye. Years have had its effect on some, on some it left unruffled. Some of them were still the same old buddies, who always had a protective scarf for her. On some, time had drastically left its imprint. She struggled to tuck in her emotions and tried concentrating on what the topic on discussion was. She heard words like reunion and calling folks. Now that really got her attention. It took her a moment to understand that everybody wanted a reunion of the batch.
The fever really caught on and all were eager to get it done. There was so much enthusiasm to meet all the classmates. They decided on a date and promised to make it happen.
By the time Maya came back home, she was exhausted. As she stepped in, her kids came running to climb on her. She knew they must be hungry and she was yet to get the dinner ready. The kids love eggs and that was the easiest to make she decided. Then she remembered Egg Bhurji. She wondered why every time it comes to her friends, she ends up thinking about Eggs. As she said Egg Bhuji is something Dev would never eat or rather she has never seen this being made in what must be some 25 years.
In the initial years of marriage, when she wanted to impress Dev with her cooking, she asked him his favorite dishes. The conservative eating habits that he has, he said he would must rather disclose the dishes he will never eat. Bread Omelette and Egg Bhuji topped the list. Maya remembers how shocked and surprised she was, hearing him say that he detests those two dishes. She confessed her closet love for these two dishes and the many memories associated with those two.
Well it can't be Egg Masala again, so be it Egg Bhuji and declared that in memory of meeting her friends, she was going to make that for dinner. Looking at the way she looked, it was obvious to Dev that she wasn't about to change her thought.
She quickly set the eggs for boiling for the kids and took out onions for the bhuji.
Maya had to work on the dough to get them rolled out and cooked. She removed the lid to see that onions were nicely browned and with a quick swirl, the eggs were poured in.
As she was serving the Egg Bhuji, she thought how symbolic it is. The many years that passed were invisible. She was back with Amma serving her her favorite meal. Though she was just a phone call away, it felt the years have gone so beyond her reach to feel them and they engulfed her all over again.
Somewhere she could hear the shrieks of kids reaching her ears, with a smile she opened her eyes to see fond eyes looking at her back...
Maya realized she has all the time on earth to update Dev about her reunion, it was time to hit the bed right now!
To be continued...

Rutherford record ratified
Greg Rutherford's controversial British long jump record of 8.51 metres has been ratified, British Athletics has announced.
- Related Content
The Olympic champion leapt the distance at a meeting in Chula Vista, San Diego, in April, but its legitimacy was thrown into doubt when his Great Britain team-mate Chris Tomlinson claimed it was a "large foul".
A YouTube video of the jump appeared to show Rutherford had overstepped the take-off board.
British Athletics said on Tuesday the technical advisory group on the ratification of the jump had recommended it be declared legal.
The group, which included four IAAF-level officials, said in a statement: "Having considered all the available evidence the technical advisory group recommends that the record be ratified."
Rutherford's giant leap added 16cm to the record he had held jointly with Tomlinson.
In coming to their decision, the advisory group considered the field scorecard for the event, signed by a licensed USA Track and Field (USATF) official, the wind speed card, the programme/entry list and that the performance satisfied USATF rules.
It was also in touch with the meeting director, who it said "responded satisfactorily to a number of questions".
The group also took the unusual step of examining the video evidence highlighted by Tomlinson.
"In usual circumstances, we require a record application form and the appropriate support documentation," it said.
"However, given the controversy generated via social media surrounding this performance, the group looked very carefully at the available video and photographic evidence and considered two points: 1. It was not an official video. 2. It was not taken directly in line with the take-off board.
The group said the video evidence was "inconclusive" so upheld the decision of the referee at the event.
Rutherford and Tomlinson competed against each other for the first time since the row at the BT Great CityGames in Manchester earlier this month, the former triumphing. Both insisted their relationship was fine.

NIKEiD just revamped a whole host of models, including the LeBron 11, KD 6, and Kobe 8, to feature their "Gumbo League" options. The set can now be customized with different prints on the same sneaker-meaning you can match chroma with graffiti on your LeBrons or precision with harmony on your KDs. What's more, each of the sneakers feature a lining that sports the same stained-glass looking imagery from the 2014 "Gumbo League" All-Star collection from Nike Basketball. Continue reading for some quick examples and then go build your own pair at NIKEiD. Also, let us know in the comments if you're planning to purchase a pair.

@sneakernews @NIKEiD I made like 3 of them too bad I can't get all of them
@sneakernews @NIKEiD I made 3 kds
ID prints should be prints thats not used on any of the original cws. And they should have every color as an option for every part of the shoe to truly do it they way you want to. Its worth paying the money to have a shoe no one else in the world has.
I do not understand the whole ID concept. Personally seeing those kicks I would think they are fake, why pay almost $100 more for non go color ways and wait 6 weeks?
@Tigerblood423 i feel u...i just like how you can put ur name or initials on it, that's prolly the dopest aspect
I know the difference between real and fake, just why not spend $300 on a classic color even if it is at resale price that released then something that would look hideous and no value in years
@Tigerblood423 id gives you the chance to make something unique you like, you should get a shoe because you like the shoe not because of what goes along with it
whats not to understand about someone wanting to tweak a shoe how they want it? Its pretty straight forward... and if u think that real stuff looks fake; then thats on u lmfao
@Tigerblood423 Not everybody cares about og cw's and resale value. ID allows you to create something unique to your style. That being said, all of the hype around these all star features are a joke
nike has all you hypebeast by the balls lmao i love it. all u hypebeast keep ruining the game. some yall was taking day off from school for this lmao, what a joke this game has become
Not with it the original KD's look worlds better

UNEP and Partners Release Report on Climate Change, Migration and Conflict in the Sahel
6 December 2011: The UN Environment Programme (UNEP), in cooperation with the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the United Nations University (UNU) and the Permanent Interstate Committee for Drought Control in the Sahel (CILSS), has released a report titled "Livelihood Security: Climate Change, Migration and Conflict in the Sahel." The project aimed to analyze the historical climate trends in the region, identify "hotspots" and determine the implications of climate change on natural resource-led livelihoods in the Sahel.The report identifies 19 "climate hotspots" where climatic changes have been the most severe. Several of the identified hotspots that have been most impacted by flooding, are located in the central part of the Sahel, in Niger, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Togo, Benin and Nigeria.
The report's recommendations include: adopting migration and conflict-sensitive adaptation policies, in order to mitigate the drivers of migration and conflict and help secure development gains; promoting regional environmental cooperation in addressing climate change, migration and conflict; rooting national adaptation policies in the Green Economy and promoting the creation of green jobs and sustainable farming practices; strengthening preventive action, including environmental diplomacy, resource rights and dispute resolution; and using conflict and/or migration risk to prioritize investments and build donor commitment to long-term engagement in the Sahel.

I'm trying to create a new job that will run Monday thru Friday each week.
If I use an existing profile that was working previously, the job gets scheduled
for one day each week (repeat interval is every 1 week). If I had scheduled
it to start on a Monday, in the schedule view it shows up on every Monday
and that's it. The only way I can get to a place that lets me edit the days
of the week schedule is to create a new job and create a new profile while
doing that. Even then, in schedule view, it only shows up one day per week.

Published 29/08/2009
New Blackburn defender Pascal Chimbonda is determined to repay manager Sam Allardyce for the faith he has shown in him.
The Frenchman has signed a two-year contract and could make his debut against West Ham today.
"The manager really wanted me to come here, he made a big effort and I want to repay him by giving 100% every game," he said.

ALBANY, N.Y. -- A high school English teacher who had students pretend to be Jew-hating Nazis in a writing assignment has been placed on leave.
The teacher at Albany High School caused a storm of criticism after having students practice the art of persuasive writing by penning a letter to a fictitious Nazi government official arguing that "Jews are evil."
District Superintendent Marguerite Vanden Wyngaard held a news conference Friday to apologize for the assignment.

Keeping yourself amused while visiting Paraty should be no problem, even if you quickly exhaust the possibilities of the town itself. From the Praia do Pontal on the other side of the Perequé-Açu River, and from the port quay, schooners leave for the beaches of Paraty-Mirim, Jurumirim, Lula and Picinguaba. In fact, there are 65 islands and about two hundred beaches to choose from, and anyone can tell you which are the current favourites. Tickets for trips out to the islands, typically costing R$30 per person, leave Paraty at noon, stop at three or four islands for swimming opportunities and return at 6pm. These trips can be pretty rowdy affairs, with the larger boats capable of carrying several dozen people and usually blaring out loud music. Alternatively, for around R$250 (or R$150 in the low season) you can easily charter a small fishing boat suitable for three to five passengers.
You can reach some of the mainland beaches by road – ask at the tourist office for details of bus times. If you're really feeling energetic, you can hire a mountain bike for R$35 a day from Paraty Tours at Av. Roberto Silveira 11, who also supply maps marked with suggested itineraries covering beaches, mountains or forests. They can also arrange car rental for around R$140 a day.
Seventeen kilometres southwest of Paraty, including 8km along an unpaved road (which should be avoided following heavy rains), is Paraty-Mirim, an attractive bay with calm water ideal for swimming. There are six buses each day from Paraty, with a journey time of about 45 minutes. Although there are a couple of bars serving food, there's nowhere to stay at the beach. Roughly halfway between the beach and the main road, however, is the Vila Volta (t 24/9815-7689, w www.vilavolta.com.br; R$121-180), a rustic but comfortable pousada run by a Dutch and Brazilian couple; here you'll find a friendly reception, an extremely peaceful setting, excellent Dutch-Indonesian-Brazilian food, trails and natural swimming pools.
Some of the best beaches are near the village of Trindade, 21km southwest of Paraty and reached by a steep, but good, winding road (7 buses daily; 45min). Sandwiched between the ocean and Serra do Mar, Trindade has reached the physical limits of growth, the dozens of inexpensive pousadas, holiday homes, camping sites, bars and restaurants crammed with tourists in the peak summer season. The main beach is nice enough, but you're better off walking away from the village across the rocky outcrops to Praia Brava or Praia do Meio, where the only signs of development on what are some of the most perfect mainland beaches on this stretch of coast are simply a few bars. The best (though hardly luxurious) place to stay is the Pousada do Pelé (t 24/3371-5125; R$121–260), which is situated right on the beach and has rooms that sleep two to four people. There are numerous modest pousadas slightly back from the beach, all with private bathrooms: try the Agua do Mar (t 24/3371-5210; R$121-180), the Pouso Trindade (t 24/3371-5121; R$71-120), or the Ponta da Trindade (t 24/3371-5113; R$71-120), which also has space to pitch a tent.

Chained Convict For Life: The Biography of Sabrina by JG Leathers
A triple novel.
Since she can remember, 26 year old Sabrina, has dreamed of being dominated and controlled by her 'dream master'. When she meets Thomas she's sure she's found that man! Moving into his Munich home, Sabrina agrees to 'The Judgement' – a comprehensive document that indicates how she might serve a sentence of life long imprisonment in a secret dungeon cell—this being her most deeply cherished dream. Although it's just a 'fantasy' to start, it's not long before Thomas creates a set of full-body restraints—a Stainless Steel Restraint And Discipline Harness. The extremely effective ensemble is worn over an inescapable, rubber Dungeon Suit, complete with attached feet, thick neoprene gloves and a face-concealing mask. Once locked in this personalized prison, Sabrina is utterly helpless to remove it and can only struggle uselessly—regretting her foolish desire to be so securely confined and controlled. In addition, she is chain-leashed to the cell wall, inside Thomas's secret dungeon. While occasionally free of the restraints, Sabrina's bad behaviour quickly sends her back to the prison, where she is confined for longer and longer periods—eventually to be imprisoned for the rest of her life!
Joining Thomas is Bab's, a sadistic accomplice, this lady jailer is a veritable fountain of evil schemes! As Sabrina moves deeper into her submissive state, she is subjected to more intense bondage, stringent penalties and intimate and very permanent jewellery mounted in her body—not to mention a sentence of Hard Labour there is no way for her to avoid. Sabrina has agreed to and signed her Judgement, throwing away all of her safe words; thus her jailers are permitted free rein to enjoy their secret toy in any manner they see fit. Sabrina is the perfect example of the old proverb: "Never wish too hard for something .... It might just come true."
This special work is over 450 pages in paperback.

Review (c) Lancelot Knight
Chained Convict For Life is, perhaps, the ultimate bondage novel. This is no light-hearted frolic into the world of safe-words and lightly applied canes. It is intense, forbidding, terrifying, and at times bleak.
This is the story of Sabrina Wheeler, who has through her young life dreamed of being imprisoned, made a captive, and forced to submit to a powerful master. She meets her ideal Master in Thomas, who takes her to his home where he builds a dungeon to cage her. Together, they design a "dungeon suit" made of latex, chains, a helmet and a chastity device.
What is interesting about this novel is that it does not have the feel of fantasy at all, and Sabrina, the chained captive, discovers that perhaps the real life is not as thrilling as her fantasy was. Like most submissives, at times she fights against her captivity; at other times, she revels in the thrilling excitement of being completely in the control of another. She is terrorized by her life as a convict, yet she deliberately disobeys the junctures of her Master, thereby bringing more stringent punishments upon herself.
Although there are a number of sexual scenes, sex is not really at the core of this huge book. It is a probing analysis of what it truly means to be a captive without personality, without a will, a chained convict for life. This isn't the kind of book to be lightly skimmed over, but rather to be pondered. It is as thought-provoking as it is realistic.

First off I added this photo to my Favorties collection. I like the angle that the photo was taken at and the rose tint makes the photo stand out in a very special enticing way. She has a good expression on her face and it brings everything in the photo together in a look of sexual desire which makes this a very powerfully expressive photo. The angle of the arms also helps frame the photo while the curves of the models body bring it alive with emotion and feeling. All I can say is that this is a great fantastic artisticly done photograph.

New Lokayukta Bill Passed in Uttarakhand Assembly
By PTI - DEHRADUN

Last Updated: 21st January 2014 11:33 PM
Uttarakhand assembly today passed a new Lokayukta Bill modelled on the Centre's Lokpal even as opposition BJP walked out of the House.
The new bill replaces Uttarakhand Lokayukta Act passed?by the state assembly during the previous BJP government headed by Bhuvan Chandra Khanduri.
As the bill was passed through voting, BJP MLAs, led by Leader of Opposition Ajay Bhatt, staged a walkout raising questions on the justification of the legislation when Uttarakhand Lokayukta Act passed by the House during Khanduri's tenure had already become an Act after getting Presidential assent in September last year.
Bhatt said the earlier bill could have been an effective anti-corruption instrument and there was no need for an entirely new legislation to replace it.
According to the new Lokayukta Bill, the Lokayukta will be created in the state and headed by a practising or retired judge or Chief Justice of the High Court.
Besides the head, there will be four members on the panel out of which 50 per cent will be from the judiciary and 50 per cent from SC/ST/OBC, minorities or women.
As per provisions of the legislation, no member of a legislature of any other state or Union territory can be a?member of the Lokayukta body.
The head of the Lokayukta and its members will be appointed by a five-member selection committee headed by the Chief Minister.
The bill had been tabled in the House yesterday by Parliamentary Affairs Minister Indira Hridayesh.

Hardtack (or hard tack) is a simple type of cracker or biscuit, made from flour, water, and sometimes salt. Inexpensive and long-lasting, it was and is used for sustenance in the absence of perishable foods, commonly during long sea voyages and military campaigns.[1] The name derives from the British sailor slang for food, "tack". It is known by other names such as pilot bread (as rations for ship's pilots[2]), ship's biscuit, shipbiscuit, sea biscuit, sea bread (as rations for sailors) or pejoratively "dog biscuits", "tooth dullers", "sheet iron", "worm castles" or "molar breakers".[3] Australian military personnel know them as ANZAC wafers.
The introduction of the baking of processed cereals including the creation of flour provided a more reliable source of food. Egyptian sailors carried a flat brittle loaf of millet bread called dhourra cake, while the Romans had a biscuit called buccellum. King Richard I of England left for the Third Crusade (1189-92) with "biskit of muslin," which was a mixed grain compound of barley, rye and bean flour.[4]
Many early physicians believed that most medical problems were associated with digestion. Hence, for sustenance and health, eating a biscuit daily was considered good for one's health. The bakers of the time made biscuits as hard as possible, as the biscuits would soften and be more palatable with time due to exposure to humidity and other weather elements.[5] Because it is so hard and dry, hardtack (when properly stored and transported) will survive rough handling and temperature extremes. The more refined Captain's biscuit was made with finer flour.
To soften it, it was often dunked in brine, coffee, or some other liquid or cooked into a skillet meal. Baked hard, it would stay intact for years if it was kept dry. For long voyages, hardtack was baked four times, rather than the more common two, and prepared six months before sailing.[6]
At the time of the Spanish Armada in 1588, the daily allowance on board a Royal Navy ship was 1lb of biscuit plus 1 gallon of beer. Later, Samuel Pepys in 1667 first regularized naval victualing with varied and nutritious rations. Royal Navy hardtack during Queen Victoria's reign were made by machine at the Royal Clarence Victualing Yard at Gosport, Hampshire, stamped with the Queen's mark and the number of the oven in which they were baked. Biscuits remained an important part of the Royal Navy sailor's diet until the introduction of canned foods; canned meat was first marketed in 1814, and preserved beef in tins was officially introduced to the Royal Navy rations in 1847.[4]
In 1801, Josiah Bent began a baking operation in Milton, Massachusetts, selling "water crackers" or biscuits made of flour and water that would not deteriorate during long sea voyages from the port of Boston, which was also used extensively as a source of food by the gold prospectors who emigrated to the gold mines of California in 1849. Since the journey took months, pilot bread was stored in the wagon trains, since it could be kept a long time. His company later sold the original hardtack crackers used by troops during the American Civil War. The G. H. Bent Company remains in Milton, and continues to sell these items to Civil War re-enactors and others.
During the American Civil War, 3-inch by 3-inch hardtack was shipped from Union and Confederate storehouses. Some of this hardtack had been stored from the 1846–8 Mexican-American War. With insect infestation common in improperly stored provisions, soldiers would break up the hardtack and drop it into their morning coffee. This would not only soften the hardtack but the insects, mostly weevil larvae, would float to the top and the soldiers could skim off the insects and resume consumption. Another way of removing weevils was to heat it at a fire, which would drive them out. Impatient troops would eat it in the dark to avoid seeing what they were consuming.[7]
During the Spanish-American War some military hardtack was stamped with the phrase REMEMBER THE MAINE.[8]

The Cow Went Over the Mountainby Feodor Rojankovsky Jeanette Krinsley
Little Cow thinks life will be better on the "other mountain," and convinces a few animals that the grass will be munchier, the bugs crunchier, the water sploshier, the mud sloshier . . . but when they get there, they find that the grass isn't really greener on the other side. This simple, witty tale, brought to life by Caldecott medalist Feodor Rojankovsky, was originally published in 1963 and is now back in print as a Little Golden Book Classic.

The ASPCA released a research study this month that stresses the critical role of nationwide dog and cat services and dog and cat cruelty investigations. The study also highlights the obstacles that law enforcement professionals face in responding to dog and cat abuse.
The study, "Public and Professional Perspectives on Animal Cruelty," reveals that only 19 percent of law enforcement officers stated they received formal dog and cat cruelty training. Forty-one percent said they are familiar with dog and cat cruelty laws in their jurisdiction, but fewer (30 percent) admitted to being familiar with the penalties of dog and cat abuse.
The study, taken from a nationwide sample of law enforcement professionals in the United States, also defines the three major obstacles that law enforcement professionals face in responding to dog and cat abuse cases: dog and cat cruelty cases are considered a low priority by leadership; law enforcement lacks staff with special knowledge in animal cruelty cases; and finally, no facilities exist for long-term impoundment of animals kept as evidence.
"These findings validate what we have long assumed — that there is a major need for training for officers charged with enforcing animal cruelty laws and investigating cruelty cases," said Dr. Randall Lockwood, senior vice president of Forensic Sciences and Anti-Cruelty Projects for the ASPCA.
The research also found that a majority of law enforcement officers surveyed (78 percent) believe that dog and cat abusers are more likely to be involved in interpersonal violence or other violent crimes.
"The link between animal cruelty and human violence is well documented and is a well-known phenomena among law enforcement," Lockwood said. "But animal cruelty training is still severely lacking in most cities, mostly due to a lack of resources and funding."
In a tough economy, dogs and cats are even more at risk. According to a content analysis conducted as part of this research study, media reports of dog and cat abandonment, a form of animal cruelty, topped the news in the South Atlantic region of the United States from March to June of 2010. Incidentally, three states in the South Atlantic region (Georgia, Florida and Maryland) were included in RealtyTrac's highest foreclosure rate list for June 2010. Similarly high media reports of dog and cat abandonment were seen in California, historically known as having a high foreclosure rate and ranked No. 4 in RealtyTrac's highest foreclosure rates for June 2010.
Lockwood says the organization offers staff with specialized knowledge on dog and cat abuse and has developed partnerships with shelters to help facilitate temporary housing for dogs and cats seized in such cases. He adds that the ASPCA supports local agencies across the country with law enforcement training programs and other resources.
The city of Baltimore, for example, recently signed into law an Anti-Animal Abuse Advisory Commission, a board that works to help the city prevent and prosecute dog and cat cruelty, including dog fighting. The commission was started at the ASPCA's behest as a task force in July 2009 following the fatal burning of a dog named Phoenix. Recommendations of the commission include training law enforcement and animal welfare professionals who respond to dog and cat cruelty cases throughout Maryland and assisting in the drafting of anti-animal cruelty legislation.
The ASPCA commissioned the six-month study, which was conducted from January through June 2010 by two market research firms: the Southeastern Institute of Research, Inc. (SIR) and Symscio. The research study probed three audiences: the general public, law enforcement officers and the media through focus groups, online surveys as well as a media content analysis. The online surveys included a nationwide sample of 1,200 respondents from the general population and 500 law enforcement respondents.

I adopted a senior cat that was given up due to financial hardship last year. In difficult time we need to increase efforts in all aspects of animal protection.

Alot of the wording on some of these cruelty charges need to be changed to Abuse! Stronger wording followed by stronger penalties.

I have been involved with this organization for 3 years. It is a wonderful organization and truly dedicated to those over 50 years of age. Great group and a great cause!
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the turnout for the games each spring.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
keep doing what I do now. :)
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
meeting so many dedicated volunteers.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
change lives. Health and wellness for seniors is very important.
Ways to make it better...
I had 1 million or even a few thousand to donate to help reach more folks. Extra funds could be used to fund a scholarship program so no one has to look at the $25 entry fee and say, 'I just can't swing it.'
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
economical. Sponsorships are harder to come by and the senior participants are watching their pennies.
One thing I'd also say is that...
Go for the gold, whether it be a medal or the color of your heart.
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Dafmark, EHCA to shine in Tuesday's Partners in Dance
Get ready for cool moves and awesome steps at the 13th annual Partners in Dance, a collaborative dance event between Erie Homes for Children and Adults and Dafmark Dance Theater.
Each year, Dafmark helps participants from EHCA's Making Opportunities for Volunteerism and Exploration program come up with a unique performance, said Debra Niland, director of the M.O.V.E. program. Participants spend weeks working on their dance moves before the big show.
"It's just a very moving event, and the participants from the Erie Homes for Children and Adults are just so proud because people are clapping for them," she said.
Although some participants have a limited range of movement, instructors use creative ways to incorporate them into the routines. This year's instructor, Jennifer Dennehy, has incorporated hoops into Tuesday's performance, which will have a beach party theme.
The event is free, but EHCA will also accept donations to help fund 2015's Partners in Dance event.
"We want to be able to do this year after year," Niland said.
