Role of Localization in Search Engine Optimized Landing Pages
A website readily available and accessible in multiple languages demonstrates the commitment of the company towards embracing the international audience it seeks. As stated in a report from Euromonitor International, "As ethnic and foreign populations continue to rise and their purchasing power grows, multicultural consumers will represent a critical market whose needs manufacturers will continue to find new ways to cater to."1
Manufacturers will also need to cater to the rising ability and independence of people to research on their own of products and services. A clearly and professionally translated landing page on a website is convenient for the visitor, and has a greater chance of increasing the visits and potential conversion rate to business transactions.2
Targeted landing pages have evolved enormously in recent years to accommodate mobile access and social media campaigns. If a website's search engine optimization (SEO) is a strategic marketing priority, a clear and uncluttered call to action page available in multiple languages must be present. People are more likely to follow and engage with a landing page that appeals directly to what they want, as well as their language, culture and location.
The translation of landing pages on websites also has different technical demands and requirements compared to a translation of legal documents or printed brochure. The key difference is the importance of the optimizing the language of web pages so that they can appear and rank in search engine results. A language service provider (LSP) with experience in the translation of web pages can collaborate with an organization's SEO specialist, to ensure that the optimized keywords maintain the desired local search volume of the keywords in the landing pages.
Landing pages that are inappropriately translated can fall out of search engines' strict rules on duplicated content and can dramatically push down organic page rankings accordingly. Maintaining a strong SEO presence, especially for B2B companies, is strongly recommended for any company thriving, planning to enter or have continued success in the global marketplace.
The need for translations into different languages is only going to increase in the future. While many European companies have long provided translations into the languages of neighboring countries, a website should not be limited to only servicing the region it exists in. In a 2012 Euromonitor International research stated, "57 percent of hoteliers in Europe were planning to translate the hotel's website into Chinese, while 46 percent of hotels in the US already offer a Mandarin version of their website."
Marketing strategies need to be quick and effective as it may be mere seconds for a customer to make up their mind about a product and company. Multilingual landing pages can help demonstrate a company's willingness and effort toward growing its business while appreciating customers along the way.

Evaluation of the new VITEK-2 ANC identification card in a clinical laboratory
Abstract number: R2396
Mory F., Alauzet C., Riegel P., Matuszewski C., Chatellier S., Lozniewski A.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of the new VITEK2 ANC card (bioMérieux, Marcy l'Etoile, France) to identify anaerobic and coryneform bacteria in comparison to reference methods.
Methods: a total of 319 strains belonging to the 63 species of anaerobic and coryneform bacteria listed in the ANC card database were investigated. Strains included 263 anaerobic clinical strains isolated in the laboratory of Bacteriology, University Hospital Centre, Nancy, France and 56 coryneform clinical strains isolated in the laboratory of Bacteriology, University Hospital Centre, Strasbourg, France. These isolates were previously identified by conventional methods. The new VITEK 2 ANC cards were used according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The cards were filled with organism suspensions prepared in 0.45% aqueous NaCl to turbidity equivalent to a McFarland #3 standard. Inoculated cards were incubated in the VITEK2 for approximately 6 h. Identification results were generated by a computer-assisted algorithm. In the case of conflicting results, 16S rRNA and rpoB gene sequencing methods were used for genetic identification.
Results: The new VITEK 2 ANC card was able to identify 314 (98.4%) strains to the genus level and 281 (88%) to the species level. Nine (2.8%) strains were misidentified and two (0.6%) could not be identified.
Conclusion: The new VITEK2 ANC appears to be a useful and reliable method for the rapid identification of anaerobic and coryneform bacteria.

NEW YORK — Con Edison will offer interactive activities and educational materials to promote energy efficiency at the 2010 World Science Festival Street Fair in Washington Square Park June 6.
The company's booth will seek to educate festival visitors about the role the smart grid, energy efficiency programs and renewable energy can play in ensuring a sustainable planet and saving customers money.
"The World Science Festival is all about education and fun, and that's what we try to provide," said Frances A. Resheske, senior vice president of Public Affairs at Con Edison. "We believe that the more we can engage people, the more success we'll have in promoting conservation and energy efficiency."
The display is similar to the in-home energy monitors that are part of a smart grid pilot in Queens. Three hundred customer volunteers will receive the in-home monitors. The monitors communicate with a smart meter to empower the customer to track and manage energy use.
Con Edison launched its smart grid pilot last year to test how various technologies can support efforts to modernize the electric grid. Visitors will also be able to view a touch-screen computer presentation on the smart grid.
Another interactive display is the Pedal-A-Watt bicycle, always a favorite of young festival attendees. The rear wheel of the bike powers a small generator, which is connected to three light bulbs. Kids can ride the bike and see that the rotation of the rear wheel creates electricity and lights the bulbs.
Festival attendees will also learn how new compact-fluorescent bulbs, or CFLs, save electricity. By throwing a switch, guests will be able to turn on a traditional incandescent light bulb and watch an electric meter spin. But then they'll turn the incandescent bulb off and light a CFL and see that the meter spins slower.
For the third straight year, Con Edison is a major sponsor of the festival, a five-day event that attracts some of the world's top researchers to exchange ideas and engage the public in the wonders of science.
Con Edison has earned a reputation as a corporate leader in the quest for a safe, clean and sustainable planet. The company has reduced its carbon footprint by 36 percent, or 2.4 million tons, since 2005 and continues to slash its greenhouse gas emissions. The reduction was achieved mainly through the use of cleaner burning fuels and upgrades to company steam plants and substations.
The company is also offering customers cash rebates or incentives for upgrading to high-efficiency air conditioners, heating systems, boilers and water heaters. Small businesses can take advantage of free energy audits and get rebates for making major upgrades (www.conEd.com/energyefficiency).
Con Edison is a subsidiary of Consolidated Edison, Inc. [NYSE: ED], one of the nation's largest investor-owned energy companies, with approximately $13 billion in annual revenues and $34 billion in assets. The utility provides electric, gas and steam service to more than three million customers in New York City and Westchester County, New York.

Roger Federer is still full of promise. His recent performances reveal that he is in great shape and playing close with Novak Djokovic and Rafa Nadal.

All he needs to do is fix a few mishaps on his forehand and regain the confidence in what was at one time the best forehand in the world.

Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray and Juan Martin del Potro are superb performers, but Roger, technically, is still the best player that ever lived, while Serena is his female counterpart.

I had the privilege to practice or compete with several generation players, from Pancho Gonzalez, Rod Laver, to John Newcombe and more, and coach Guga Kuerten and Bjorn Borg for his second comeback. None were as complete and as gifted as Roger. He has a new dimension of efficiency and natural use of the body for every tennis task.

I would venture that if he can get rid of a few misconceptions that have impaired his timing and strokes, he could be, in 2014, on the driver's seat once more.

And for yourself, keep this in mind:

How does the body work best through any stroke? Actually, it is with a lift, not by staying down like the fables of old. Even on modern volleys, the body goes up while the arm strikes down and across with a stop. Conventional coaching differs: "Stay down", "Follow the ball". It has many misconceptions, in fact more than 20 trite ideas that make tennis a much more difficult sport than it actually is. More at:

I want to thank Danai C Samuriwo from tenniswithD for writing my guest blog today. I met Danai through the tennisopolis social network. Danai is very involved in the tennis world as a tennis teaching pro, club manager, tennis shop owner and a top-level tennis player himself. Danai writes great blog posts for both tennisopolis and his own blog spot.

I asked Danai if he would mind writing a guest blog for me about what parents need to hear from tennis coaches. Please note I did not say what they want to hear. I appreciate that he agreed to do it since I am asking him to put his lively hood on the line (just kidding, we parents are tough and can take it). Too often the coaches tell us what they think we want to hear for fear of the repercussions. I am asking the parents to be reasonable and listen to the professionals. Most coaches have the best interest of the tennis player in mind just as we as parents do. If you can maintain an open line of communication between you and the coach you will have an environment that will best nurture your childs tennis. Enough from me. I hope you enjoy the article as much as I did. Thanks again D.

Part of the challenges of leading a successful tennis program or business as a coach, as an instructor, is negotiating the delicate line between brutal honestly versus exercising restraint with the clients when dishing out our "professional opinions", ESPECIALLY when it comes to the patrons' children. A child's behaviour is naturally tied closely to the environment in which they are raised, and as parents, this means the very household we work so hard to maintain. So, it is easy for a mere tennis instructor to unwittingly cause a "how dare you…" moment, as some of these "recommendations" can feel like reproaches, or worse still, personal attacks. Naturally, we the coaches shy away from the brutal honestly that is needed; it dries up the well quicker than Michael Chang, Lleyton Hewitt, and Gael Monfils put together!

I tend to agree with parents on how well-behaved their children actually are because even the naughty kids do not mean any harm. Deep down, they are well-natured kids who actually do try on the tennis court. When the resultant shot is not reflective of all their hard work and best efforts under the scrutiny of their peers, coupled with the need to do as their instructors teach, reactions vary and not always for the best. These are just coping mechanisms.

Crazy Tennis Momcame up with a pretty crazy idea to put myself out there, as a coach, and "let the parents have it!" I will say, much like parenting, coaching approaches can be vastly different, yet the ultimate goal achieved from these different approaches, equally successful. Simply, there are many strategies to winning a single tennis match.

"Letting the parents have it" was simply too broad, so I thought I would recommend/reprimand parents, hopefully without repercussions, in 4 areas of personal concern, and to some of you these may not be new because these issues are as old as time.

1.  Switching coaches on a regular basis:

One thing most parents may not realize is that in tennis, being such a dynamic sport, coaching approaches THAT WORK are vast but put together can be conflicting. There are several issues associated with having short relationships with your child's coach. For those that meet with the coach irregularly, this affects continuation and therefore progression in their lessons and your child's game. Every time you meet is almost like recommencing, especially for the early stages. The most significant to this point is that different coaches have different ideas of what the overall perspective of what the player's game style should be. Where one coach can see advantages in moulding the player as an aggressive baseliner, another coach may project higher dividends coming out of an all-court game style instead. The environment needed to nurture both styles should be highly controlled and manipulated as such. The process behind moulding a certain style player, thought process, mental coaching provided, drills utilized, artillery emphasized to bring about the attribute characteristic of that style, reinforcement practice drills, or matches arranged to make say a counter-puncher versus an aggressive baseliner are potentially similar and different contextually. Even in times when they are the same, they are not necessarily complementary of the respective the broader pictures aimed for. For example, though a big serve is always helpful and works well for an aggressive baseliner who waits for the response from the back, the same serve may not necessarily be ideal for a serve and volleyer, who needs to manipulate the direction of a return by accurate placement of that same big serve; successful serving and volleying is dependent on well-placed serves and not just pace alone, which, would be more than sufficient in the case of an aggressive baseliner. There are many of these conspicuous but important details. If left unexplained, these begin to blur and cause confusion in an instance where a player is seeing multiple coaches simultaneously or one who bounces from coach to coach. Some of these ideas can be downright conflicting as well if meshed together. A potential technique conflict, Venus Williams's straight take back preparation on the forehand side versus Kim Clysters' looping take back—which one do we follow and why? Another example in the mental department when formulating a player's demeanour and decision-making of say a counter puncher, it is different to that of an aggressor's mental demeanour. Where a counterpuncher needs to learn how to be a routine precise shot maker, under pressure, aggressors need to be comfortable to initiate an attack immediately in their position of comfort. These are just a few scenarios of many!

Now there is a recent trend on the pro-tour where "consulting coaches" are being used. A consulting coach might be a known transition game specialist like Mark Woodforde. This can be effective if used within the parameters of the main coaches' perspective.

The ultimate result of bouncing around among several coaches is producing a conflicted player who is potentially knowledgeable even appears polished on the court but possess tentative an ill-timed shot selection and therefore unsure which route to pursue. The unfortunate part is either of the approaches which cannot coexist, separately, would have sufficed independently.

2.  Playing up:

Since Boris Becker and Martina Hingis won Grand Slams as teenagers, there has been a misconception on the notion of playing up. You should play your child up because they are out-classing the competition; to kill any ambiguity here I mean 6-2/6-2. Most parents mistakenly reason that "if I play my child, they will improve rapidly". For this reason, I know numerous high-performance juniors who are getting terrible results for the sake of "progress". Playing up is not always a motivator as in the instance where a complacent kid can be dropped in to test the deeper waters with the hope that they will realize that there is more work to be done; unintentionally, a player can learn to lose just as well. This can result in loss of confidence. Loss of confidence is potentially worse than the guillotine of bad strokes because it is accompanied by other ill feelings like embarrassment, sense of desperation, loss of motivation, and patience.

3.  Justifying a loss as a result of cheating

You rob them of 3 important lessons of surviving the competitive and potentially brutal tennis world:

1. How to be a gracious loser, because it is never easy, especially for the competitive type.

2. Maintain a cool, calm, and collected head on the court in a potentially hostile environment. Shut out distractions, maintaining a head clear enough to realize, IT WAS ONLY ONE POINT, THIS THING CAN STILL END WELL.

3. You risk sending the wrong message that they are "good enough". Dismissing opponents' accomplishments can overshadow the big lesson that they should go out and work harder to match or eclipse that level of competition.

4.  Assessing your child's ability and being realistic

There is no worse feeling than investing time and not getting the desired result. Dejection is one of a few probable results. But being realistic with expectations relative to your child's ability can help mute the impact of these awful feelings. By all means, we should go out and help our kids achieve their dreams, but we should not allow our partiality to cloud our assessment for the reality. For every athletic journey, there needs to be a decent base of talent in order to progress successfully in mastering the necessary skill. Hard work can complement talent but cannot substitute for it. Will, desire, hunger, or endurance will not cut it either. Also, the higher they go, the stiffer the competition, and wins may not come as easily, especially as the talent pool deepens. Sometimes these victories cannot be quantified by Ws but rather, the time spent smiling or simply the experience and lessons learnt.

Parents, there is no substitute for hard work in athletics, there are no shortcuts to hard work, there is no "magic button" that Coach A knows versus Coach B, maybe Coach D (wink wink) , but be especially wary of the coaches whose big claims do not involve well-articulated goals and micro steps of execution; it takes time. I have always maintained the position that the dynamics between a student and the coach is very much like any successful relationship or team; communication is one of the integral elements for success in that unit. When it comes to raising tennis players' parents, we are that direct line of communication. Create a dialogue and try to understand your coach's vision; I am by no means encouraging you to take everything coaches spew, but I am saying sometimes be open to having differing opinions if it comes down to it, agree to disagree without deflecting progress. The ideal yardstick after all is and will always be your child's progress, not theoretical discourse.

Sam Rayburn High School in Pasadena, Texas is installing solar panels which will be used incorporated into the school's curriculum. | Photo courtesy of Sam Rayburn High School
- Solar energy systems at two Houston high schools to save $15,000 annually
- Generate an estimated 172,000 kilowatt hours annually
- Avoid green house gas emissions equivalent to 14,000 gallons of gas consumed
School-based solar isn't just for math and science students.
At two Houston-area high schools students in core courses – ranging from English to history to fine arts – will take part in a solar energy curriculum that has a real-world component. The students will work with teachers and engineers as different types of solar panels are installed at the schools.
Houston's Pasadena Independent School District (PISD) and the Houston Advanced Research Center (HARC) are installing the solar energy systems at district's Sam Rayburn High School and South Houston High School. The two PISD high schools are estimated to reduce combined annual utility costs by $15,000. The solar energy systems will generate an estimated 172,000 kilowatt hours annually, which will avoid the release of 124 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year, equivalent to using 14,000 gallons of gasoline.
Totaling about 145 kilowatts, the rooftop solar energy systems will include three different photovoltaic solar cell technologies. The projects will use multi-crystalline cells, thin-film amorphous cells and cylindrical cells, and they are meant to complement each other with different benefits. For example, thin-film amorphous cells work well at lower light levels and high temperatures, while cylindrical modules have rows of tubes that allow wind to pass through easily.
Students and solar
"We want every student on campus to be very aware of this project, of the benefits of alternative energy resources, and to take that back to their home and to their parents," says Grace Blasingame of Sam Rayburn High School.
For starters, students will learn from engineers how solar panels are installed, operated and be able to analyze the solar technologies' efficiency. They will also follow up on clean energy topics in various classes. For example, U.S. history classes will examine the history and development of renewable energies, while social studies classes will incorporate topics such as environmental policy.
"We have a video class that will document this project from the start all the way through. They do a daily news program and will report the progress," Blasingame says. "We also have students doing artistic renderings of the project. We want to have a solar powered water fountain and art students will design the mosaic artistic representation on the fountain."
Students can also track the real-time data on kiosks in the entrance of each school, Blasingame says. Even the local community can be involved, for current and historic data will be available on the school and district websites so that those interested can track the output of the solar panels.
Liz Price, a HARC research associate, says the project is still in the design process but that installation will begin by the end of the summer. Ignite Solar is designing the project and will use American Electric Technologies for power distribution and converter systems and Solar Community for the panel installation.
According to Price, one of the greatest benefits of collaborating with a school district for the project is the educational and outreach component.
"It's not often that we can do a demonstration project on a school and include the students in a learning experience," Price says. "We're trying to engage the students as much as possible."

Ridiculous Things Yoga Teachers Say
2011/12/27 § 10 Comments
Since I'm going to be teaching quite a bit more regularly in the next coming weeks, I've started preparing a bit for my classes ahead of time, because I'm both a chronic procrastinator, and someone who dislikes being unprepared (what a great combination that is!), and I don't want to say anything ridiculous. One of the ways I've best found to prepare, and avoid saying stupid things, is to write notes clarifying what I want to say, and reading them out loud, which probably sounds like overkill, but its helpful.
Yoga teachers say a lot of ridiculous things. Trust me.
I was scared of going to anusara classes for awhile, because after the first class, the teacher said both, "flower your buttocks", and "let your anus blossom". I'm still not 100% sure what either instruction ,means, but they both horrify me, and sound like something from a really bad porn film, rather than a yoga class. Try not laughing when someone tells you, in a really happy voice, to "let your anus blossom". I dare you. As you can probably, correctly, assume, I'm not really a "flowery, rainbow, hearts and sun-rays", kind of person…
Despite all the preparation, I sometimes use silly instructions when I teach, too, like "find your breath", and "return to your breath", as if you lost it in the first place. I guess the nice thing about Swedish is that for some reason, ridiculous instructions sound even more ridiculous than they do in English, so you don't often hear them. About 80% of the time I go to an English-language class, I have a hard time holding back my laughter. Some of my favourite, ridiculous instructions over the years have been:
– "flower your buttocks"
– "let your anus blossom"
– "melt your heart"
– "brighten your chest/heart"
– "shine your collarbones"
– "imagine your thighbones are rainbows, spiraling outwards"
– "puff your kidneys"
– something about "blossoming your perineum"
They are a lot of flowers blooming around the asshole-area…
I mean, fuck, its no wonder some people head to the hills when they find out you're a yoga teacher. The problem with those instructions are they're ridiculous, and they're not clear. I can't even say, with 100% certainty, what the teacher is asking for. I can assume, but I don't know for sure. "Melt your heart" usually means to draw your shoulderblades together, but I've heard it so many times in contexts where its impossible to draw your shoulderblades together, I'm not even sure if the teacher knows what they're instructing…
How many people find these kinds of instructions useful? Surely someone must if they're so prevalent. I never went back to the teacher who told me to "flower my buttocks", mostly because when I pay to go to a yoga class, I want to, clearly, know what I'm supposed to be doing. I want to assume the same thing for my students – the clearer I am in projecting what I want them to do, the more likely they are to come to my next class. Am I wrong in that assumption?
If I ever start talking in terms of flowery metaphors, or applying verbs that don't clearly project what a body part is supposed to do, can someone please, please shake me?

I love your article! These are the expressions that annoy me most, too. I would also add the ones when we have to imagine being angles spreading our wings. That makes me roll my eyes.😀

I like to take both of the coenzymated forms of B12 (methylcobalamin and dibencozide). I take methylcobalamin injections, and use these pills for the dibencozide. Overall I feel good when I'm taking both.
Amazingly potent form of B12. I open up the capsule like another reviewer and put it under my tongue; I get a small lift then. But I get a huge lift several hours later (sometimes half a day or so), so big I have to be careful not to take too much or I become over stimulated. I use only a small amount of the capsule at any given time. I like this better than the methylcobalamin form because it doesn't make me sleepy for twenty-four hours after I take it.
Consider other co-factors/synergists
Posted by Health-Is-Wealth on Jun 29, 2015
I wanted to try this as an alternative/adjunct to MethylB12. It wiped me out completely. However - I found there are other co-factors and synergists to consider, such as iodine, zinc, manganese, sulphur, niacin.

Great Source of B12
Posted by Krisinsight on Jan 23, 2015
My last order of Anabol Natural's Dibencoplex was not to my liking as the tablets would not dissolve without chewing them up before placing it under my tongue. I then changed to an oral B12 spray sold by Mercola. When I ran out of the oral spray I decided to go back to a sublingual tablet because I was recently told that the slower your B12 dissolves the better for your body. My new bottle of Anabol Naturals is melting slowly but surely without additional mastication, so this new bottle seems perfect to me. It is slow enough to allow a small portion of B12 to be absorbed over a period of time but not so hard and dry that it won't melt at all.
Previous formulation was good

I prefer Adenosylcobalamin / Dibencozide and do not do well on methylcobalamin (energy crashes, weight gain). EDIT: replacing old review which applied to the discontinued CAPSULES, which are no longer made.

For people with genetic issues causing low levels of vitamin b12, this is something to consider. One of very few pure adenosylcobalamin/adb12/dibencozide on the market today, it's effects are said to be maximized when taken sub-lingually (note: you might want to split the capsules and take a lower dose, esp. for beginners). Adb12 plays an important role in some enzymatic steps in both krebs cycle and nitric oxide cycle (decreasing nitrosative stress). A meager 200 mcg Boron is also OK. Be aware that your teeth and gums will temporarily get stained pinkish red from the capsules (if taken sublingually)
The true natural anabolic

This can be considered in my opinion the pump natural 5kilos got to win using the same, but with a high protein diet. Recommend.

Founding CEO, Google Inc.
Larry Page: I think the age is a real issue. It's certainly a handicap in the sense of being able to manage people and to hire people and all these kinds of things, maybe more so than it should be. Certainly, I think, the things that I'm missing are more things that you acquire with time. If you manage people for 20 years, or something like that, you pick up things. So I certainly lack experience there, and that's an issue. But I sort of make up for that, I think, in terms of understanding where things are going to go, having a vision about the future, and really understanding the industry I am in, and what the company does, and also sort of the unique position of starting a company and working on it for three years before starting the company. Then working on it pretty hard, whatever, 24 hours a day. So I understand a lot of the aspects pretty well. I guess that compensates a little bit for lack of skills in other areas.

Pulitzer Prize for Drama
When I'm writing, it's as if I am sitting in a garden, like a jungle where everything grows, and when I am rewriting, I'm riding on a horse through a field, brandishing a beautiful sword, the sword of discrimination -- not racial discrimination -- but discernment, I suppose you'd call it, a sword of discrimination. I am brandishing the sword, and there's music, like Wagner playing, bumpa-da-bum-bum, and I'm cutting everything that doesn't belong. So there's writing, and there's rewriting. I enjoy both.

Nobel Prizes in Chemistry and Peace
I had one short course in organic chemistry, but I'm considered to have made great contributions to organic chemistry. I had no courses in biochemistry, but I'm usually described as "the great biochemist Linus Pauling." You see, I have made contributions to biochemistry. There were no courses in molecular biology. I had no courses in biology, but I'm one of the founders of molecular biology. I had no courses in nutrition or vitaminology. Why? Why am I able to do these things? You see, I got such a good basic education in the fields where it's difficult for most people to learn by themselves. Very few people are able to study mathematics by themselves, they need to have it taught. I learned a lot of mathematics, a lot of physics, a lot of chemistry. The chemistry, much of it I might have learned by myself, but when it comes to these other subjects, I was able to learn enough about these other fields just by reading because my basic understanding was so great that I could interpret the sentences that I read. I can read -- if I become interested in cardiology say, or in general -- I can read books, medical books about heart disease and understand what the authors are saying.

She eventually took a position in the Geography Department at Clark University, which she still holds. Hanson is best known as an urban geographer whose interests in gender and entrepreneurship, information technology and urban sustainability have informed nearly 30 years of articles in professional publications, highly regarded commentaries and dedicated community stewardship.
She has authored or edited five books and more than 80 articles and book chapters. She is a past president of the Association of American Geographers, has been an editor of three geography journals - Economic Geography, the Annals of the Association of American Geographers, and The Professional Geographer - and currently serves on the editorial boards of several other journals including The Annals of the Association of American Geographers; Proceedings of the National Academy of Science; and Journal of Geography in Higher Education.

Sonny Rollins Receives 2010 Edward MacDowell Medal
Medal ceremony includes concert by Fred Hersch Trio and an art show by local schoolchildren
On August 15, Sonny Rollins was presented with the 2010 Edward MacDowell Medal at a ceremony on the grounds of the MacDowell Artist Colony, in Peterborough, New Hampshire. Jazz writer Gary Giddins introduced Rollins at the ceremony and the outgoing Chairman of the Colony's Board of Directors, Robert MacNeil, presented Rollins with the medal.
In addition, the ceremony included a performance by the Fred Hersch Trio, with John Hebert and Eric McPherson, as well as an art show of work from elementary school children inspired by jazz and Sonny Rollins.
"Sonny Rollins has been one of the most important influences on me as a jazz improviser," said MacDowell Colony Fellow and jazz pianist Fred Hersch, in a press release received at JazzTimes. "In his mastery of structure, his extraordinary technique, his flawless sense of rhythm, his respect for melody, his humor, and his humanity, he may be the ultimate jazz artist."
JazzTimes previewed Rollins' award in an earlier piece on jazztimes.com.

5 Better Ways to Spend Your Time and Money on Black Friday
Roughly 147 million shoppers say they plan to go pushing and shoving for deals this Black Friday weekend, according to the National Retail Federation. In a promising statement about the future of humanity, that number is down from 152 million last year. Of that 147 million, only 71 million are committed to heading out among the unslept, unwashed masses and doing their holiday shopping under any circumstance.
The other 76 million are going to hang back and wait to see exactly what stores are offering before putting themselves in harm's way. While retailers took that as their cue to bombard consumers with circulars, TV ads, Facebook (FB) posts, tweets, company blog entries, emails and alerts through mobile apps, shoppers took at as their opportunity to decide whether they needed the stress.
If you're still undecided about your Black Friday plans, let us make a humble suggestion: Forget the sales. Let the lemmings claw at each other over out-of-date televisions and "deals" they could get just as easily on Cyber Monday, Green Monday, Free Shipping Day or whatever other fabricated retail holiday comes next. There are real deals out there that won't subject you to crowded store aisles, parking lot traffic or forced flash sales and specials. They're not even particularly good items for holiday wish lists, unless you're really into buying holiday gifts for yourself.
We looked past the organized riots at America's outlets, malls and big box stores and found five better things to spend your time and money on this Black Friday:
Plane tickets
Thanksgiving travel's all over but the hectic flights home and it's already way too late for the winter holidays.
If you have nothing better to do between Nov. 27 and Dec. 12, though, you're just the person the airlines are looking for. For reasons pretty well spelled out, almost nobody flies on these days and airlines drop prices like mad just to fill seats.
Priceline (PCLN) keeps track of the best days to fly throughout the year and those dates (with the exception of the Sundays of Dec. 2 and 9) are big, green pastures of open seats and low fares. AirTran offered a $59 one-way sale last week just to get rid of some of that late November/early December stock, while American is still offering $209 round-trip ski airfare to Vail, Colo.
Many of the better deals went out the door on Monday, but there are still lots of options to pick through.

I love this kid. And I'm kicking myself for insufficiently raising my own sons to be imitating "Rocky" training montages this early in their lives. I waited until they were four or five, and by that time it was too late. They never had li'l Baby Balboa's moves here and never will. I did them a major disservice because this kid is awesome.
If Taylor Swift survived everyone's first listen of "Shake it Off," she can survive anything.
As such, the fact that this week's messiness regarding ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris has turned into #TaylorSwiftIsOverParty being a thing shouldn't be taken seriously. It should definitely be given attention — this is the internet and nothing beats a ridiculous hashtag — but it just shouldn't be taken seriously.
Taylor Swift is overrated, but she's important. Even if her songs are just her trying to doing something cool by a cooler artist she heard six months earlier, the type of music that Taylor Swift does helps inform what young people's ears find appealing. Is she a particularly good singer? No. Is she a great songwriter? Probably not, Rolling Stone dummies. Yet as long as she is one of the primary outlets for people like Max Martin's writing, she'll be extremely important to pop music.
This week, folks are in a huff because one of Swift's representatives told People that Swift wrote Harris' hit song "This is What You Came For" under a pseudonym. Harris was upset that this information, which Swift wanted to keep secret while they were dating, was leaked after they broke up, seemingly in an effort to make him look bad.
I don't care what happened in between that and this hashtag becoming a thing. Unless she admitted to paying the kid to go into Harambe's enclosure in what would prove to be a successful hit attempt, Taylor Swift is not over. In case you want to know what did happen in between the People story and the birth of the hashtag, here's pretty much it.
Hurtful to me at this point that her and her team would go so far out of their way to try and make ME look bad at this stage though
— Calvin Harris (@CalvinHarris) July 13, 2016
I figure if you're happy in your new relationship you should focus on that instead of trying to tear your ex bf down for something to do — Calvin Harris (@CalvinHarris) July 13, 2016
I know you're off tour and you need someone new to try and bury like Katy ETC but I'm not that guy, sorry. I won't allow it
— Calvin Harris (@CalvinHarris) July 13, 2016
Nobody can actually think Taylor Swift being petty is enough to end her. This is a minuscule amount of adversity for someone who has both been famous this long and has had a number of high-profile relationships. She pretty much has to live in a bubble and possibly work out strange deals with people to maintain friendships. Embrace the hashtag all you want, but it's nonsense.
The best evidence that the hashtag is garbage is that there aren't even any funny tweets with it. Every trending hashtag is good for at least 20 or 30 classics, and after reading them for five minutes these are the only two that at least induce a grin:
"America's sweetheart" ain't so sweet anymore huh? #TaylorSwiftIsOverParty pic.twitter.com/wbGzZKo41Y

Me and my girls arriving at the #TaylorSwiftIsOverParty pic.twitter.com/8MTPb7FYyl — WARGREYMON (@KiingJohnDoe) July 13, 2016
Swift hasn't released an album since October of 2014, but it's pretty much a guarantee that the follow-up to 1989 will be good-to-really-good and get nominated for more Grammys than it deserves. She'll do another world tour and all of the shows will sell out in hours.
If there is honestly a party celebrating 26-year-old Taylor Swift being over in July of 2016, don't go. You never want to be the only smart person at a party.

I have owned a few pair of over the ear head phone over the year, but I don't really see the difference between over and on the ear. Over the ear seam to be slightly larger than on the ear, but they are still not completly over. I have a pair of ear protection and they are really over the ear which have an excellent seal. So my question is really this, why are over the ear head phones usualy so small?
