HARI SREENIVASAN: Next: how a passion for improvisation can make beautiful music.
Two jazz stalwarts rejoin forces for a new album and a series of concerts.
Jeffrey Brown has the story.
JEFFREY BROWN: The song, Hoagy Carmichael's 1938 ballad "The Nearness of You," performed as a kind of conversation between two master musicians who happen to be peers and friends: saxophonist Joshua Redman, pianist Brad Mehldau.
BRAD MEHLDAU, Pianist: If you're going to play a ballad with someone, and you want it to be anything deeper than this just sort of surface, you're going to have to be vulnerable for the other person. And that's what the audience wants to see, too.
JOSHUA REDMAN, Saxophonist: Yes. Jazz is all about vulnerability.
BRAD MEHLDAU: So, you got to…
JEFFREY BROWN: Vulnerability?
BRAD MEHLDAU: Yes.
JOSHUA REDMAN: I think so, yes, because we're improvising, you know? And we're not coming to the bandstand with a preconceived notion of what we're going to play.
We have to be open and available and vulnerable to really make that connection with ourselves and with the other musician.
JEFFREY BROWN: Redman, 47, and Mehldau, 46, have been filling concert halls and jazz clubs, on their own, as band leaders, and together, for more than 20 years.
This fall, they have joined forces again in a recent performance at New York's Jazz at Lincoln Center, and on a newly-released album titled "Nearness," a mix of original material and jazz standards recorded live on tour in 2011.
JOSHUA REDMAN: I feel so fortunate to be able to make the music that I believe in, and to get up there every night and just play from the soul and go for it.
BRAD MEHLDAU: As an improvising musician, I really feel committed to not going out there and playing some nonsense for people, you know?
BRAD MEHLDAU: There's a bit of a script. We have some plan, but what they want to hear is, they really want to hear us try to be creative.
JEFFREY BROWN: Both men came to music early. Redman, in California, was raised by his dancer mother, and is the son of well-known saxophonist Dewey Redman, Mehldau in Florida and Connecticut in a family home never without a piano.
They arrived separately in New York in the early 1990s, where each found his own early success.
We spoke recently at the Steinway Piano Showroom in Manhattan just before a concert.
BRAD MEHLDAU: Even when I'm ostensibly accompanying him, and he's ostensibly taking the solo, we're still having this conversation. So it may mean, for instance, that he plays a melodic idea, and then I respond to it sort of in real time, and I might even give him something back, that then he responds to again.
JOSHUA REDMAN: I'm always looking for something.
BRAD MEHLDAU: And he's kind of waiting for it. He's like, come on, what do you got?
JEFFREY BROWN: What do you got?
BRAD MEHLDAU: Yes.
JOSHUA REDMAN: Well, and often because I don't have anything.
JOSHUA REDMAN: I always feel like I'm — as an improviser. I feel a little hamstrung by this instrument and its role in jazz, because it's basically a soloist instrument.
I play melodies, maybe some accompanying harmonies if there's another horn player, and then I will take a solo, and then I have to go stand at the side of the stage. You know, I have rhythm section envy because they get to, like, be in there, and always — you know, they're always listening, always reacting.
But I feel like my best ideas often don't come from me. They come from the other musicians that I'm playing with, and especially when I'm playing with someone like Brad.
JEFFREY BROWN: I asked for a demonstration, and the two launched into some blues.
BRAD MEHLDAU: One thing that Josh does that's very exciting for me, as an accompanist, is that I throw him a curve in the middle of his phrase.
So, he was starting to start a phrase that was a little more conventional. And he was going to kind of wrap it up, OK, we gave you an illustration, by returning to the melody. And then I — in the middle of that phrase, I sort of went — and I harmonically went off the chart of what would be the normal harmony there in this 12-bar blues we're playing.
In real time, somehow, he heard me doing that and adjusted his phrase in the middle of the phrase.
JEFFREY BROWN: Is that an intellectual process that he just described, where he switches and you have to react quickly, or it just happens?
JOSHUA REDMAN: That's an excellent question. Whatever it is, if I feel like it's an intellectual process, then I'm not successful.
JEFFREY BROWN: It's not going to work.
JOSHUA REDMAN: It's an emotional, it's an intuitive process. I mean, of course it's happening in the brain, right, but if I'm thinking about responding in that way, then I'm overthinking it, and I probably won't do it well.
BRAD MEHLDAU: It's very exciting to really improvise, and to have that moment. And it's also very social music. A lot of times, you're with other people. And to have that white-heat kind of communication between another musician, it's very — it's pretty exciting.
JOSHUA REDMAN: It's a great time to be a jazz musician.
JEFFREY BROWN: After our talk, Joshua Redman and Brad Mehldau set off on a European tour, and the two continue to perform their separate gigs.
From New York, I'm Jeffrey Brown for the "PBS NewsHour."
HARI SREENIVASAN: After Jeff's interview, Redman and Mehldau played a song from the new album just for us.
You can see that private performance in its entirety on our Web site, PBSNewsHour.org.

You are about to purchaseyour first home and receive an advertisement regarding adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs). The interest rate on the ARM is lower than that on a fixed rate mortgage. The advertisement mentions that there would be a payment cap on your monthly payments and you would have the option to convert to a fixed-rate mortgage. You are tempted. Interest rates are currently low by historical standards and you are anxious to buy a house and stay in it for the long term. Why might an ARM not be the right mortgage for you?

The project engineer in charge of overseeing construction of the underpass has also confirmed that as from now police will strictly enforce the law with regards to motorcyclist passing through.
Project Engineer Chalermpon Wongkietkun of the Phuket Highways Office told The Phuket News today (Oct 13) that people riding two-wheel or three-wheel transport – including bicycles, motorbikes, and motorbikes with sidecars – are now not allow through the Sam Kong Underpass.
Motorcycles had been allowed through the underpass as a temporary measure in order to reduce the usual heavy traffic at the site since the Highways officials opened two lanes northbound through the underpass on April 10. (See story here)
Mr Chalermpon said, "We temporarily allowed motorcyclists to go through the underpass, but now that has come to an end. The law does state that these types of vehicles are not allowed in underpasses.
"We have already installed overhead signs in both directions leading into the entrances to the underpass to warn motorists about this.
"Warning signs for the road are now being made and we will have them installed by next week," he said.
Mr Chalermpon advised motorists to obey the law for their own safety, he said, "Even though the prohibition signs are in place some bikers still go through the underpass. Police are now enforcing the law regarding this so please don't break the law."

AUSTIN, Texas -- She's still learning the "Eyes of Texas,"
and her sweater was ever-so-close to burnt orange.
Gail Goestenkors figures she has plenty of time to work on her
singing voice and update that wardrobe away from Duke blue.
Introduced as the new women's basketball coach at Texas on
Thursday, the 44-year-old Goestenkors said she'll be here until she
"This is it for me," Goestenkors said. "There's no other job
that would interest me."
She can even build a pretty nice nest egg with a seven-year
contract that guarantees her at least $1 million annually and
incentives that could push it to close to $1.3 million, making her
one of the highest paid women's coaches in the country.
Goestenkors built a national power over the last 15 years with
Duke, but came to Texas for a chance to lead a program considered
among the vanguards of women's college athletics.
"It was tough for me to leave, but I felt it really was time to
make a change," Goestenkors told the crowd of about 200 Texas
officials, cheerleaders, fans and media who attended her
introductory news conference. "I knew deep in my heart this is the
place I wanted to be to start a new tradition and bring back the
Goestenkors ranked No. 1 on Texas' list since March 12 when Jody
Conradt, one of two Division I coaches with 900 wins, retired after
the Longhorns didn't make the NCAA tournament for the second
straight year.
"The University of Texas is a special institution, and we
believe it attracts people with good hearts and minds," said
women's athletic director Chris Plonsky. "Gail possesses skill,
integrity and class."
Goestenkors was in Austin for three days last week for an
interview process she called a "validation" of why she wanted to
come to Texas.
She got the red-carpet treatment and the hard sell from football
coach Mack Brown, men's basketball coach Rick Barnes, baseball
coach Augie Garrido and women's track coach Bev Kearney. Brown,
Barnes and Kearney attended Thursday's news conference.
"[Brown] put the full-court press on me," Goestenkors said.
"The one common thread: There's greatness here. ... This is not
about money. This is about people. This is about a challenge."
Goestenkors left a Duke program where she won five Atlantic
Coast Conference championships, went to four Final Fours and
reached the round of 16 in the NCAA tournament the past 10 years.
The Blue Devils played for the national title in 1999 and 2006 but
lost both times.
Conradt, who won her only national championship in 1986 when
Goestenkors was a graduate assistant at Iowa State, said she
believes Goestenkors is a perfect fit.
"Texas is a special place," said Conradt, who coached the
Longhorns for 31 years. "I think she is an excellent choice."
Goestenkors faced a whirlwind 48 hours.
She met with her new team Tuesday night, was due in Atlanta on
Thursday night to receive the Naismith national coach of the year
award and was scheduled to fly to Europe on Friday because she's an
assistant on the USA Basketball senior national team. She squeezed
in some time Thursday morning to contact recruits and make sure
they knew about her job change.
Longhorns guard Erika Arriaran said the Texas players are
"This is like a dream," Arriaran said. "She said we need to
win championships, and I think we're all on the same page."
When she gets back from Europe, Goestenkors will have to stock
up on some new burnt-orange shirts. She admitted the sweater was
something she pulled out her closet -- it still had the tags on it --
but it was close enough to burnt orange that it looked almost
Besides, she's already got a cell phone with an "Eyes of
Texas" ring tone.

The worst thing that can happen to rare cars is them going up in flames, like what happened in a warehouse in California. International Vehicle Importers lost 24 Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) cars in a fire that broke out.
Specific car models that were destroyed in the fire are still unknown and the owner, Sean Morris has posted a picture of the damage. International Vehicle Importers are still compiling a list of cars that were damaged in the fire.
In a Facebook post, Morris has said that at least 24 cars, 5 motorcycles, and two dogs were missing. The list of cars that were damaged could have Nissan GT-Rs as well since the firm's 'for sale' inventory does list a few Skyline's for sale.
The exact reason for the fire is still unknown, but stay tuned for more updates about the reason for the fire and the list of cars that were damaged.

BOSTON -- New York Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez left Fenway Park to go to the hospital with back spasms on Saturday night and was unavailable to pitch against the Boston Red Sox.
"He was in a tough position," Mets manager Jerry Manuel said after New York beat Boston 3-2. "He couldn't walk. He was in bad shape. Spasms was the word that they used. How long spasms last? What is his history with that? I really don't know."
A three-time All-Star who saved a major league record 62 games for the Los Angeles Angels last season, K-Rod came to the Mets for a three-year, $37 million free-agent contract over the offseason as the centerpiece of a bullpen overhaul designed to put back-to-back September collapses behind them.
He is 12-for-12 in save opportunities, including a perfect ninth on Friday night against Boston, and is 1-0 with a 0.87 ERA in 20 games this season.
But Manuel went to J.J. Putz pitched in the ninth to close out the 3-2 victory over the Red Sox on Saturday. After the game, he explained that Rodriguez felt the pain after batting practice.
"We were all sitting here and there was a crowd of people standing around. I said, 'What's going on?' They said it was Frankie," Manuel said. "So we'll see where he is tomorrow."
Mets spokesman Jay Horwitz confirmed that Rodriguez went to the hospital by ambulance, but said it was only to avoid traffic.

Many job seekers are familiar with the standard resume used to apply for jobs in the U.S., but they may not be quite as familiar with the curriculum vitae (CV). The curriculum vitae is another tool that can be used as a part of the job search. Job seekers should be aware that these two terms refer to somewhat different presentations of their history and experience, and they should not be used interchangeably.

What is a Resume?

A resume is a concise summary that focuses on specific aspects of a candidate's work experience and education. This document tends to be limited to one page in length, though in some instances a second page may be included (if it is warranted by extensive experience or education).

The resume is the standard tool used for job applications in the United States, and it is often accompanied by a cover letter when used to apply for jobs. Both the resume and cover letter can be adapted to highlight the qualifications an employer would find desirable in applicants for an open position.

What is a Curriculum Vitae?

A curriculum vitae (CV) is a more detailed description of your education, academic record, areas of interest, awards, honors, research projects, scholarly publications, presentations, teaching experience, volunteer work, certifications, professional memberships, and references. It is sometimes referred to as an "academic" resume.

A CV usually runs at least two pages in length, and it is very common for a CV to include up to five pages if the candidate has an extensive professional history to report. In some instances, it can be even longer. The CV is considered a comprehensive document and can be used for application to a wide variety of positions without the level of tweaking that is required of resumes. It is important that the CV is updated regularly so that it includes all professional honors and awards.

Similarities: CV and Resume

1. Both present information about a candidate's education, training, and skills.
2. Both provide a candidate profile to a prospective employer
3. There is no single correct format for either document

Differences: CV and Resume

1. Length (a CV is several pages in length while a resume is usually limited to a single page)
2. Target (a CV has an academic focus, while a resume does not)
3. Summary of history (resume) vs. a comprehensive report that includes every detail (CV)

When to Use a CV

When might you need to compose a CV while working in an animal career field? You might need to use a CV when applying for any international positions, jobs in academia (especially for college professors), medical jobs, graduate school, or research and development positions. You might also need to have a CV available when seeking grant funding, fellowships, or awards.

Final Word

It can be beneficial for a job seeker to keep both a resume and CV on file so that they can readily apply for opportunities as they become available. It may also be beneficial to create a hybrid document that includes some aspects of a resume and some aspects of the CV. Creating these documents can help job seekers focus on the big picture that includes all of their experience (CV) as well as the most important aspects of that experience (resume).

Career seekers hoping to work internationally or in academic roles will find that a quality curriculum vitae will play an important role in their job search. Ensuring that the CV is up to date and includes all relevant history will ensure that a candidate enjoys the best job prospects in their field of interest.

There's an intriguing post on Seeking Alpha suggesting that Cisco buy gigabit Wi-Fi company Ubiquiti Networks and groom its CEO, Robert Pera, to be Cisco's next CEO. The author cites the stock performance of Ubiquti in 2013 - the fifth best performing stock that year - as well as that of CEO Pera : "perhaps the strongest of any company on Wall Street in 2013."
The author acknowledges, however, that he is a Ubiquiti stockholder so any acquisition at a premium on Ubiquiti stock will benefit him. But he also listed some "misgivings" concerning a possible Cisco acquisition.
+MORE ON NETWORK WORLD: Super-fast Wi-Fi: Cisco, Ubiquiti access points top out at nearly 400Mbps+
He claims Ubiquiti is out-innovating Cisco and that its Wi-Fi products will soon outgrow Cisco's in volume sales. The company is lean, efficient and has a business model the envy of the wireless LAN industry and cutting edge customer service, the author claims. He doesn't co me right out and say so but, he seems to be intimating that Cisco would bog down Ubiquiti's growth, innovation and differentiation.
Finally, he proposes that Cisco's $8 billion bond sale this week wouldn't be enough for Ubiquiti, valuing the company at $91 per share: he proposes a $120 per share offer for the company, or $10.6 billion. He likens the the value Cisco would receive to Facebook's $19 billion binge last week on WhatsApp:
a $120 per share offer would seem fair and would provide Cisco with a young, sage and hungry leader that would give them what Facebook gained when purchasing What'sApp for 19 billion dollars: An assurance to Cisco stakeholders that the company is seeing around the corner and is positioning itself with the tools necessary to continue being a dominant force in its industry.
Is Ubiquiti too good for Cisco to pass up at $10 billion? Or do you think a Ubiquiti shareholder is just pumping the stock?

Today, I decided to post a wallpaper collection of Lady GaGa. Stefania Gabriella Germanotta, best known by her stage name Lady GaGa, is an American singer-songwriter and dance-pop musician. Lady GaGa got her name when the producer Rob Fusari compared her vocal technique to that of Freddie Mercury and took the moniker from the Queen song 'Radio GaGa'. She has been contracted to write songs for a number of high profile pop singers, including Britney Spears, New Kids On the Block, Pussycat Dolls and Fergie. She is just as famous for her affection to outrageous fashion, with a look that seems to be identical parts of Cher, Christina Aguilera and Joan Crawford. This is just how I am all the time, she shrugs. Her debut album, The Fame, with its hit singles "Poker Face," "Just Dance" and "Beautiful Dirty Rich." It's entertaining, extremely amusing and enchanting. And now, I present you the best Lady GaGa wallpapers.

Immaculate Baking Company
I am stretched for time most of the time, lol. This morning, I made some bake-em-up (my word) chocolate rolls from Immaculate Baking Company. I found them yesterday at Whole Foods, and woah, were they tasty! I find myself really loving pretty much everything I've tried from them. My husband comes from a home where his mom home-baked EVERYTHING, and she did it very well, and even he doesn't mind products from IBC. He HATES Pillsbury, but I tell him, "Hey, I 'hate' not being a housewife. Deal with it," lol. But back to my point--Immaculate Baking Company. They make that semi-homemade stuff without a lot of preservative junk, and it all tastes great. Anyone else a fan?
Comment deleted
My husband likes to bake from scratch, and we got him a Cooks Illustrated guide to baking one year for Christmas. I don't know if we tried cupcakes, but he made Maddie's first birthday cake, and a killer ny style cheesecake.
I can't say I've heard of them before but it might be worth trying. The less preservatives the better! there's too much of them in american foods.

Grilled Mozzarella and Tomato Skewers
Recipe by Eat Your Vegetables
Created by Chef Richard Krause for "Chef on a Shoestring." The CBS Saturday Early Show challenge was to create a gourmet 3 course meal for 4 people for less than $20. I love the presentation of this, much more interesting than simple bruschetta. Cut the bread into about 3/4" thick rounds for this. The ingredients after the skewers is for the sauce. I've also made this without the bread before and served it over couscous as a main dish. BE VERY CAREFUL cooking these as you only want them lightly toasted. It literally takes seconds. If you leave them over the heat too long, the cheese will melt all over the place.
Top Review by lisalouk01
This is a quick and easy recipe. We cut the crusts off of white bread and cut it into squares instead of the french bread and we added some cilantro for a little more flavor. Turned out great. Just a warning though: you really have to watch your bread while you're toasting and the cheese too.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 lbs fresh mozzarella balls
- 8 slices French bread
- 4 plum tomatoes, cut in half through stem end
- 4 bamboo skewers, 10-inch long
- 9 plum tomatoes, peeled seeded & chopped
- 8 leaves fresh basil, chopped
- 1⁄4 cup olive oil
- balsamic vinegar
- coarse salt
- fresh ground black pepper
Directions See How It's Made
- Cut mozzarella in half, then into eight 3/4" slices.
- Place ingredients on the skewers in the following order: bread, tomato, basil, mozzarella, tomato, basil, mozzarella and bread. Set aside while you make the sauce.
- Mix all the sauce ingredients (everything following the skewers) together in a saucepan and warm for 1-2 minutes before serving. You don't want the tomatoes to break down, but rather just to be warmed.
- Brush the skewered mozzarella and tomato with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill over high heat on both sides until the bread is lightly toasted and the cheese begins to melt, about 30-45 seconds per side.
- Spoon the sauce onto 4 warm dinner plates. Set the skewers neatly on top of the sauce, slide out the skewers and serve.

Bemidji, townships to meet: Wednesday meeting to discuss mediation will be closed
BEMIDJI -- It appears representatives from the city of Bemidji and the two townships involved in an annexation agreement will meet Wednesday night.
But what specifically will be discussed remains unclear, and likely will remain that way for those standing outside of the closed-door meeting.
"There's no agenda that I've seen," Mayor Rita Albrecht said during a Monday night work session.
The Bemidji City Council approved sending Albrecht, as well as councilors Nancy Erickson and Ron Johnson to that meeting. Because a quorum of councilors won't be in attendance, the meeting will be closed, according to city staff.
"It's not a public meeting," city clerk Kay Murphy said.
But lacking a quorum would also mean no formal decisions could be made. It's not clear how many, or which township board members will be in attendance. Northern Township representatives, and Bemidji Township's attorney John Steffenhagen, were not available Monday night for comment.
The meeting will take place at Bemidji City Hall after the Greater Bemidji Area Joint Planning Board meeting that starts at 6 p.m. Wednesday.
Northern Township board members previously expressed interest in meeting with the city and Bemidji Township, both of which were locked in a legal dispute over the annexation agreement. That dispute resulted in a mediation agreement being signed in May by the governments that would release Bemidji Township from the annexation and joint powers agreements they and Northern Township adopted in 2004.
While Northern Township doesn't have any say in the mediation agreement, all three governments have to approve any amendments to the annexation and joint powers agreements.
Legislative wrap-up
Now that the state Legislature has tackled Local Government Aid issues, the lobbying group representing cities such as Bemidji wants to focus on economic development and transportation issues.
Bradley Peterson, senior attorney for the firm Flaherty & Hood P.A., which represents the Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities, met with the Bemidji City Council during its Monday work session.
He recapped the changes made this session to LGA, a major funding source for many cities. The Legislature reformed the way the state calculates LGA payments to individual cities, as well as increasing funding by $80 million.
Those changes will mean $440,000 more for Bemidji next year than it was supposed to receive under the old law, according to a handout provided by Peterson.
Cities have been fighting LGA cuts in recent years, which caused "much apprehension at budget time," Erickson said.
"If you are telling us that we can be assured that it's pretty stable, that helps cities very much in their planning," Erickson said to Peterson.
"I think what I can tell you is, because I don't want to overstate, is assuming the current funding level, there will be a lot less volatility in the (LGA) formula," Peterson responded.
Looking to the future, Peterson said future sessions will focus on economic development, as will the upcoming CGMC conference at the Sanford Center later this month. And on transportation, there's one issue Councilor Jim Thompson wants to see addressed: Access to highways.
The Bemidji City Council passed a resolution in March in favor of expanding State Highway 371 into four lanes near Bemidji. That highway runs north from Little Falls to Brainerd and to Cass Lake.

This is a soup that I have been longing to make. I know it sounds weird, but give it a chance. You will love it. It's creamy, and rich with a subtle peanut flavor. Eating it makes me feel like I am in Thailand. I didn't have any soy sauce here at work, but am sure it would have added a lot to it.
I'd estimate this soup cost about $0.25 to make because I shop in bulk. I bought a 5 lb bag of the mashed potato flakes, 5 lbs mustard greens and the large bottle of sriracha--man, I love Sriracha so much that I keep one at work and 2 at home. Sriracha makes everything taste better.
I've been eating lots of mustard greens lately: they are a great value. I got a huge bag of cleaned, cut greens for $3.99 at Ralphs, which is usually a very pricey grocery store. Mustard greens pack a nutritional bang. They have been touted nature's little secret! Full of vitamins A, K, C...even contains calcium and protein. And they only have 21 calories per cup.
I have also become a huge fan of instant mashed potato flakes-you'll see how many different things you can make with them over the next few weeks. It's one of the most versatile ingredients both cooking at work and at home. You can have a side dish or soup like this in just a few minutes.
This makes a large bowl of soup. A soup that eats like a meal. I'd estimate you get a little over 3 cups. As filling and delicious as this is, it only contains less than 300 calories for the whole thing. For those with peanut sensitivies I suggest a sunflower butter or soybutter.
I keep a box of potato flakes and large jar of PB at work, so packing for lunch today meant grabbing two handfuls of greens and a box of tofu. In the next few days I will compile a basic cooking-at-work pantry list.
Cubicle Soup: Creamy, Nutty Potato & Greens & 'fu
2.5 cups water
1/2 cup mashed potato flakes
1-2 tbsp peanut butter (chunky or creamy, either would be good--add more for extra richness and creaminess)
1/2 cup tofu cubes
2 handfuls collard greens
squirt of sriracha
salt and pepper to taste
Put all ingredients in large ceramic bowl, stir to make sure potato flake lumps dissolve. Peanut butter will melt in to the soup. Microwave 5 minutes or until PB is melted and greens are tender.

After School Enrichment Program
A Program for Current EHS Students Ages 10 and Up
How about enrolling your Eagle Hill student in the new After-School Enrichment Program? It's an excellent opportunity for those students who would benefit from an additional structured time filled with group activities, community service, athletics, and homework help. The hours are also convenient for those parents whose work hours are long.
Children will develop resilience and responsibility, strengthen their social skills, try new activities in a risk-free environment, and learn to follow a routine.
The program includes:
- Snack and an afternoon activity supervised by the dorm team.
- Dinner with dorm faculty, with guidance on table manners/social interaction.
- A language-rich, supportive, and nurturing environment.
- Supervised study hall (if needed)
The program runs from October to May (follows the school calendar for open/closed days). The 2016-2017 schedule is as follows:
NOTE: The After-School Enrichment Program is open primarily to students ages 10 and older who have completed at least one year at Eagle Hill School. From time to time, exceptions are made for new students during their first year.
TO APPLY: Due to the unique nature of the After School Program, parents are encouraged to first discuss the program with their advisor, who will then reach out to the program administrators for further follow-up with the parents. The EHS student is then asked to attend the program for a couple of days before confirmation of enrollment. If you have further questions, please email Joy Delisle, Program Director.
FEES: $6400 for the four-day/eight-month program/$3200 for the two-day/eight-month program

PDF fillable form - why is the CLEAR FORM button not included?Asked by kappabioscience on April 28, 2015 at 09:07 AM
Wondering how you clear form entries for the next person in the fillable PDF format, as the Clear Form button does not get included int he PDF format? I have this button on my original form, but not in the fillable PDF.
So how do you clear form data for the next person?
JotForm Support
Several elements are not included in the PDF copy of the form. There are certain things we either can't translate into a PDF or certain things that won't run in a PDF. One of those unfortunately is the clear form functionality.
My recommendation would be to create another unfilled copy of the PDF and have the next person fill out the new copy. You can have as many PDF copies of your form as needed.
If you have any further questions, let us know and we will be happy to help.

Have you read the ingredient list for any of the popular brands of soup lately? It reads like a chemistry textbook with words that are a challenge to pronounce. They are loaded with unhealthy chemical flavorings, MSG, refined sugars, refined carbohydrates and refined salt. It's hard to find the real food in these products.
Perhaps you already know how to make your own healthy stocks and broth but need some ideas for getting your family to actually drink them.
I'm proud to announce the 2nd edition of Beyond Broth – beautiful layout and 10 added recipes!
Recipes That Combine Vegetables and Herbs
There are recipes that will teach you how to make basic meat and bone broths for chicken, beef, fish and vegetable stock.
The soup recipes are based on using these nutrient rich broths as the basis for your soups. Any of these stocks may be used in the soup recipes.
Each recipe has been well thought out and tested numerous times for flavor and kid approval.
Recipes with somewhat bitter greens are paired with other sweeter vegetables and with herbs in order to balance the flavors. They are so tasty your kids will ask for more!
Many of the soups are pureed — a good way to hide the color of some vegetables which may not be accepted by some kids. Others are vibrant with the bright colors of nature.
Soups of Your Imagination
The book has many different iterations of common and easy to source vegetables, as well as options to use anything you get in your CSA basket or at the farmer's market.
How would you like to try:
- Lemongrass Mushroom Soup
- Courgette and Leek Soup
- Fennel Mushroom Soup
- Quick Pea Soup
- Sunchoke Soup
Importantly, the book is for gluten free, grain free and starch free eaters – it is appropriate for SCD, GAPS and Paleo/Primal diets as well as anyone else. If someone want to add a starch such as rice or noodles, the recipes will still work.
Additionally, there are pages of information on why broths are such a necessary part of your daily diet.

My Mom's Shawl
Well, at last I can reveal what I have been working on pre-holiday, for my mom. This was the project that I frogged 4800 stitches on, cried about, threw things across the living room over... finally recovering with the help and encouragement of others and am so happy that I did. Not saying I'd want to do that all over again, but I did learn something in the process...Pay Attention! I mean REALLY pay attention when you're doing a lace pattern!!
Here's a few close-up shots of the pattern. The shawl is called the Stora Dimun Shawl, from the book Folk Shawls, which is a must have book for your library. I used Swish Superwash Merino from Knitpicks, the color: Red Pepper. I really enjoyed working with it, because this was my first official lace shawl, and the thicker yarn helped ALOT, while learning the new stitches and patterns. It's also soooo soft. One thing I especially liked about the pattern itself, were the shoulder shaping rows. They make the shawl sit very nicely upon her shoulders. Ok, Ok, without further ado and anymore blah-blah-blah-ing...
The bottom edge:
A shot from above while I was blocking it:
Whenever we ask my mom what she wants, she tells us anything blue, medium or chocolate. Well, I deviated from the standard this year...just a bit :) and chose to make her a red shawl. My intention being to give her something cheery to wear/look at, on those cold grey winter days. I was extremely nervous about giving it to her after we had a conversation about color (I was already half way through the shawl, post frogging) and she told me that she couldn't wear red. Oh no!! I fretted over it for a few days, Jack did some fantastic reassuring, and when the day finally did come, she was more than pleased by it :) I do believe I saw a few tears and that made eveything worth while...not that I like seeing my mom cry, but you know what I mean! And here she is!
Doesn't she look lovely?
This girl knows how to work the runway!
Ladies and gentlemen...America's Next Top Model!
Hooray! I'm happy that she's enjoying it. She called me yesterday to tell me that she was wearing it and it was keeping her nice and toasty warm :) Now to figure out next year's pressie...
Here's a few lovely's that I finished yesterday. I'm adoring the yellow dafodil one...
When I finished winding up the yarn, I turned around and this is what I saw! There's absolutely no mistaking that he's mine!!

Physicists have determined that the best way to subdue wall-bouncing photons is to let them loose until they need a nap. Apply the latest scientific findings to your kid's playtime with today's Groupon: for $10, you get annual membership and five hours of children's programs at Go Play! in Altamonte Springs (an $85 value). Today's Groupon is good for infants at Baby Go Play! as well.
At Go Play! and Baby Go Play!, children ages 6 weeks to 9 years learn and interact with peers in open, exploratory spaces guided by friendly, attentive caretakers. Today's Groupon covers the annual enrollment fee, opening up a treasure-filled Lincoln Log cabin of kid's caretaking and activities ($35). Drop off motor-skill amateurs at Players Club (8 a.m.–5 p.m. weekdays) for time-to-time teacher-supervised socializing, or secure silent moments on a regular basis. Tots up to 3 years old can make new friends and swap pacifier tricks at Baby Go Play! sessions.
Clean, spacious play spaces and a creative approach to education make Go Play! a place parents feel good about and droolologists enjoy visiting. A 1950s-style ice-cream parlor, dance area, art studio, mats, and a play kitchen entertain small sculptors and future pasta-jewelry artisans. Check out the calendar to find out each week's themes, snacks, activities, and alpha-numeric sponsors.
Six Insider Pagers give Go Play! an average of four stars, and three Google Mappers give it a 4.3-star average:
- Great for kids who need more than sitting at a desk in a crowded drab room. They do a very different kind of program with a lot of special activities and projects. – Geri M., Insider Pages
- Go Play is a great learning environment for young children. My son attended since 2008. We continue to be impressed with the teachers, and the program for pre-schoolers. – Danita, Google Maps

So I am 16 years old and (as cliche as this may sound) have fallen in love with one of my childhood friends. He has been a great friend to me and now, for the last 6 months, an even better boyfriend. I love him to death. So we have been taking things kinda slow but now he is asking for sex. I want to do it but... I don't know Im kinda nervious about it. I dont know if I am ready. So do I go for it or do we wait. PLEASE HELP?
Most Helpful Girl
If you're not ready don't do it. If he loves you, he won't try to pressure you no matter how badly he wants it. If you do it, it should be because you are ready to make that leap (and being nervous during the first time is normal either way). If you're not ready, you can still kick things up a notch by fooling around. Just remember to use condoms and grab a Plan B pill if you do have sex, since you probably can't afford to have a baby right now.00|00|0

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was pulled over in New York and did not have a drivers license on me. I do, however, have a valid drivers license, I just didn't have it on my person at the time. I received a ticket in the mail for $230.00 even though I sent in a copy of my valid drivers license to the NC/TPVA.
Do I still have to pay this fine if I already sent in my proof of valid license?
You should go to that court and ask to conference the case. You should easily be able to get it dismissed by showing a copy of your license.
Feel free to call me if you have any further questions.
Matthew Weiss
As to the addendum, normally if you want to fight a case, you have to appear in the court. You could call the court to see if there is another way, such as sending a copy of your license along with proof that it is currently valid and a sworn affidavit from yourself that you do have a license. But they can insist that you appear if you want to contest the charge. If you fail to appear, your license may then be suspended.
You could hire an attorney who might or might not be able to fight the case without you personally appearing. This might cost more than the fine.
The cost to you to fight the case, between gas and time off, may be nearly as much (or more) than simply paying the fine. It's your call how much it matters to you.

Flight Centre Australia's leading travel agent — again!
Almost one in ten Australians used Flight Centre to book leisure travel in the last 12 months, the latest Roy Morgan Travel Agent Monitor reveals.
In the 12 months to December 2012, 36.6% of Australians used a travel agent to book leisure travel in the previous year. Flight Centre maintained its longstanding lead, with 9.8% of Aussies choosing to book their holiday through the agency, which is also number one in New Zealand.
In second and third positions were the online-only agencies Wotif.com (6.9%) and Webjet.com.au (4.0%), followed by bricks-and-mortar travel agent Harvey World Travel, used by 2.5% of Australians to book leisure travel in the last 12 months.
A total of 34 travel agents are measured in the Roy Morgan Travel Agent Monitor.
Travel Agents used for leisure travel in the last 12 months
Source: Roy Morgan Single Source (Australia), January – December 2012, n = 21,539.
Jane Ianniello, International Director of Tourism, Travel & Leisure, Roy Morgan Research, says:
"Over the years Flight Centre has maintained its position as Australia's leading travel agent. The agency has a very strong brand presence with 64% of Australians having heard of Flight Centre before, and 39% recently seeing or hearing some advertising for the brand.
"Other bricks-and-mortar travel agents such as Harvey World Travel, Jetset, and Travelworld haven't fared so well and have gradually lost market share to online-only agencies such as Wotif.com and Webjet.com.au.
"With the increasing penetration of home computers and iPhones, the trend towards using the internet to book overseas holidays is likely to continue.
"Both bricks-and-mortar and online-only travel agents would do well to understand the demographics, attitudes and behavioural profile of their target market, so as to tailor appropriate messages that get them visiting their websites and/or retail outlets."

I'm travelling around Europe (France,London,Rome,Spain,Munich,Amsterdam ans Iceland) for a period of 6 months, starting off with Paris as my sister is a permant resident, I'm from singapore. Paris would be my base. I'm aware of the fact that my maximum visa is only 90 days within a period of 180 days.
So my initial plan was to go morocco, travel a few days then enter thru Spain for a re-new 90 days visa but after reading this forum, I realise it's not feasible or wise. Is there any loophole or legal way for me not to get entangle with the law when i depart for home in dec ?
I would be hitting London in early July, Rome in mid-aug, spain in sept, Munich in late sept for oktoberfest, Amsterdam in mid october and finally Iceland in Nov, duration of stays per countries is on the avg of 4 days other than Iceland which would be about 2 - 3 weeks as i have another sister over there.
The other issue being that I'm already in Paris so going thru the proper channel is more or less out of the question. It's too late for me applied for a 6 months visa.
Please advise

A number of alternative investments had a tough start to this year well with a number of strategies struggling. This, argues Peter Vincent, head of alternatives at Franklin Templeton, is reason enough to follow a multi-strategy approach so that volatility is dampened due to its asset diversification.
He explains why long/short strategies have had it particularly tough, losing out on both sides of the trade given the sector rotation we have seen. He also explains which areas he is supportive of in the coming 12-24 months.

Tesla Powerpack to Enable Large Scale Sustainable Energy to South Australia
Last September, a 50-year storm damaged critical infrastructure in the state of South Australia, causing a state-wide blackout and leaving 1.7 million residents without electricity. Further blackouts occurred in the heat of the Australian summer in early 2017. In response, the South Australian Government as a leader in renewable energy, looked for a sustainable solution to ensure energy security for all residents, now and into the future, calling for expressions of interest to deploy grid-scale energy storage options with at least 100 megawatts (MW) of capacity.

Creating the Safest Car Factory in the World
Earlier this year, the United Automobile Workers (UAW) announced it was attempting to organize workers in Tesla's Fremont factory. The latest phase of their campaign involves a concerted and professional media push intended to raise questions about safety at Tesla.
The Next Step in Energy Storage: Aggregation
Today, modern utilities and grid operators are utilizing battery technology like never before. The next step in tapping the potential of energy storage is putting together thousands of batteries to form an energy network that utilities can use to deliver immediate value for the electric system. Tesla can now bundle Powerwall and Powerpack batteries into a single portfolio, also called aggregation, to make the grid cleaner and more efficient. Meanwhile, Powerwall customers who allow Tesla and the utilities to use their battery when energy demand is highest will not only have home backup power, but will also receive compensation for its use on the grid.
太陽能屋頂 Solar Roof
Tesla's mission is to accelerate the world's transition to a sustainable energy future by creating products that are so compelling, there is no alternative.

Britney Spears fled unisex steam room
Britney Spears fled a gym's steam room after walking in and finding "four men" soothing their bodies.
The 'Make Me' hitmaker took a trip to a 24 Hour Fitness centre for a swim and after she had exercised she decided to recuperate in the high-humidity room.
However, the pop megastar didn't realise the steam room was unisex and was so shocked to find guys relaxing amidst the hot temperatures she ran out in embarrassment.
In an interview with Scott Mills on UK station BBC Radio 1, she shared: "I went to a pool the other day. A 24 Hour Fitness and I went to go swim and I usually go to the steam room and there was like four men in the steam room and I was like, 'No! I've got to get out of here! This is so weird.' Usually steam rooms are just for women or just for men. They're on their own and I was really shocked so I had to turn around."
Britney is spending a few days in London following her concert at the Apple Music Festival on Tuesday (27.09.16).
The 34-year-old singer recreated her critically acclaimed Las Vegas residency show, 'Piece of Me', at The Roundhouse performing a 90-minute set filled with her greatest hits and tracks from her new album 'Glory'.
Britney underwent multiple costume changes for the show and has revealed she has a team backstage that strip and dress her as fast as possible to keep the show going and she has no problem getting naked in front of them.
She explained: "I'm a pro now. I have a team of people around me and I just kind of stand there. We were actually a little slow last night considering what we usually do. But there was a couple of times where I came on just as I was singing. It was really kind of scary. We have four rooms - there's a room for the guys, the room for the girls, one for me and there's a tech room so everyone has their own little glitches. [I have my family with me to help] and sometimes I accidentally hit them in the face. You don't apologise, you just keep going. I'm just like, 'I'm a beautiful mess right now!' "

Please consider helping to improve Bleach Wiki:
Can you help with one of the many tasks that need doing here? Some of the main ways you can help out are listed here. Thanks!
Hello Bleach fans, it's time to review another english dubbed episode of Bleach. Before I begin I have am so psyched that I have completed many surveys to get a $25 amazon.com gift card and I am preordering Fade to Black on Blu-ray, and it will cost me (drumroll please) $0.00 . I don't really like showing off, but I was just too excited.
I really liked this episode for multiple reasons. However, the two main reasons why I liked this episode was because we had a lot more action and plot progression, plus we had some really great performances.
The script stayed very close to the Japanese script, and I appreciated that they "corrected" the meaning of Wabisuke. Speaking of Wabisuke, I must say that Grant George did a wonderful job in this episode, especially with the Squad Three speech. I also thought the rest of the cast did a wonderful job. I can definitely tell that Findor is voiced by Travis Willingham because he sounds like a snobby Roy Mustang. He sounds deeper than Patrick Seitz, but when you listen closely you can tell between the two. Although Findor's voice is a little deeper than what I would have expected, it still fits. When I really think about it, there really isn't anyone else who comes to mind who could voice Findor in english. Findor has such a distinct voice in Japanese that it is quite honestly very difficult to try to match the exact voice tone. Plus I am glad Studiopolis left in Findor's distinct "Exacta" sentences.
Overall I thought it was a great episode and I can't wait for next week.
Final Rundown
- Story 8.5/10
- Art/Animation 8/10
- Sound Effects 10/10
- Script adaptation 10/10
- Music 8.5/10
- Acting 10/10
I give Bleach 218 a 9.2 out of 10. Remember to join me on Tuesday when I review Bleach episode 336, and join me next week when I review Bleach 219 dubbed. Plus stayed tuned for my review for Bleach: Hell Chapter by the beginning of early September.
Until Next Time!

Millions of people stuck on the jobless rolls would receive an extension of unemployment benefits averaging $309 a week under a Senate bill that appears set to break free of a Republican filibuster.
Democrats have stripped the unemployment insurance measure down to the bare essentials for Tuesday's vote, which is a do-over of a tally taken late last month.
With West Virginia Democrat Carte Goodwin poised to claim the seat of the late Robert Byrd, two Republicans will be needed to vault the measure over the filibuster hurdle. Maine GOP moderates Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins are expected to provide the key votes to create a filibuster-breaking tally on a key procedural test.
The measure is expected to pass later Tuesday. The House would take it up Wednesday and then send it to President Barack Obama for his signature.
If all goes as expected, about 2.5 million people will receive jobless benefits retroactively. Instead of being dropped from a federal program that extends benefits for those whose six months of state-paid benefits have run out, millions of others will continue to receive payments.
But first, Mr. Obama and his Democratic allies are pressing the issue for maximum political advantage, blaming Republicans for the impasse that halted unemployment checks for people unable to find work as the jobless rate remains close to 10 percent.
Mr. Obama launched a fresh salvo Monday, demanding the Senate act on the legislation after a vote already had been scheduled and blasting Republicans for the holdup.
"The same people who didn't have any problem spending hundreds of billions of dollars on tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans are now saying we shouldn't offer relief to middle-class Americans," Obama said.
Republicans say they do favor the benefits but are insisting they be paid for with spending cuts elsewhere in the government's $3.7 trillion budget. After initially feeling heat this winter when a lone GOP senator, Jim Bunning of Kentucky, briefly blocked a benefits extension in February, the GOP has grown increasingly comfortable opposing the legislation.
But the president has fired back by saying that Republicans have a double standard, CBS News White House correspondent Chip Reid reports.
"The same people who didn't have any problem spending hundreds of billions of dollars on tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans are now saying we shouldn't offer relief to middle class Americans," the president said.
The providing of additional weeks of jobless benefits in the midst of bad times has been regarded as routine, and the latest cycle of additional benefits began in 2008, the last year of George W. Bush's administration.
"For a long time, there has been a tradition under both Democratic and Republican presidents to offer relief to the unemployed," Obama said. "That was certainly the case under my predecessor, when Republicans several times voted to extend emergency unemployment benefits."
But with conservative voters and tea party activists up in arms about the deficit, conservative Republicans have adopted a harder line that has caused three interruptions of jobless benefits.
"What the president isn't telling the American people is that many of us in the Senate are fighting to make sure our children and grandchildren aren't buried under a mountain of debt," said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah. "If we are going to extend unemployment benefits, then let's do it without adding to our record debt."
Tuesday's Senate voting - with Democratic newcomer Carte Goodwin of West Virginia being sworn in just in time to cast the 60th vote to break a GOP filibuster - will cap a battle of more than four months that's featured bad blood and a shift in sentiment among key Republicans.
Though the economy is said to be slowly recovering, the jobless rate remains painfully high at 9.5 percent. And Obama, putting a human face on those hard times, brought three unemployed people to the Rose Garden with him on Monday.
An increasing number of people, however, have been out of work for so long that they have exhausted their eligibility for benefits, which ends at 99 weeks in most states. This measure won't help them.
In Bellevue, Wash., for example, unemployment benefits ran out last week for 63-year-old Sherry Blum. She's been job hunting since August 2008. Already behind on her mortgage, the loss of her weekly benefits means she will have to sell her town house.
"Unemployment (benefits) helped me stay just above water," she said. Blum plans to sell her town house, with its $1,600 monthly mortgage, and move into a small apartment. But with the housing market still ailing, that could take time. Three other homeowners in her development have taken their homes off the market recently after failing to sell them.
"Hopefully my house will sell before it goes into foreclosure," she said.
Millions of people have been unemployed longer than six months - and longer than both economists and job-seekers expected because an economic recovery has been slow in coming, reports CBS News business and economics correspondent Rebecca Jarvis.
"When they lose those $309 checks on a weekly basis, it not only has an impact on them individually, but it also has an impact on the economy overall," Jarvis said. "That's because when people get unemployment check, research has shown it usually goes directly back into the economy. So if you're unemployed, you get a check, you spend that check immediately as opposed to putting it in the bank and letting it sit there."
The Senate is likely to pass the current measure late Tuesday. The House is expected to clear it for Obama's signature as soon as Wednesday.
Two Republicans, Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins of Maine, are expected to vote with the Democrats Tuesday, as they did at the end of June. The measure stalled then because the death of Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., and the participation in the filibuster of Nebraska Democrat Ben Nelson left the party one short of the 60 votes needed.
With Goodwin, the Senate breakdown is 57 Democrats, 41 Republicans and two independents who normally vote with the Democrats.
Some 2.5 million people have seen their weekly checks interrupted since an earlier extension of the jobless aid program expired June 2. States are responsible for the first 26 weeks of benefits, but the federal government stepped in last year to fully fund up to 73 additional weeks of benefits under the terms of last year's economic stimulus bill.
There are now 14.6 million unemployed people in the U.S., and more than 9.2 million of them are collecting some form of jobless insurance, including 4.9 million - more than half - receiving the federal extensions.
The impasse hasn't affected the 4.3 million or so who have been collecting their first six months of state-paid benefits; but someone whose state benefits have run since June 2 hasn't been eligible for the next 20 weeks worth of benefits while others in the program can't qualify for three additional "tiers" of benefits after that.
People who lost their benefits because of Congress' inaction will be able to receive them retroactively. But that could prove cumbersome as people flood state offices to re-apply for benefits and as states grapple with questions such as requirements that jobless people detail the steps they're taking to find work.
The providing of additional weeks of jobless benefits in the midst of bad times has been regarded as routine, and the latest cycle of additional benefits began in 2008, the last year of George W. Bush's administration. But with conservative voters and tea party activists up in arms about the deficit, conservative Republicans have adopted a harder line that has three times caused interruptions of jobless benefits and other programs.
"For a long time, there has been a tradition under both Democratic and Republican presidents to offer relief to the unemployed," Obama said. "That was certainly the case under my predecessor, when Republicans several times voted to extend emergency unemployment benefits."
Democrats note that the GOP is far more concerned about the $33 billion impact of the jobless benefits on the deficit than the far larger cost of extending Bush-era tax cuts.
But Democrats share some of the blame for the holdup. For most of the debate, Democrats paired the jobless benefits extension with a variety of unfinished congressional business such as expired tax breaks, help for doctors facing a cut in their Medicare payments and help for cash-starved state governments.
Those Democratic add-ons have delayed passage of the measure and were directly responsible for a successful GOP filibuster in mid-June. After a stripped-down bill was introduced, Snowe and Collins rallied behind the measure.

You can buy a signed replica of this jacket on Kenneth Anger's website
After Kenneth Anger fired Jimmy Page from his long-delayed Lucifer Rising film project and then publicly bad-mouthed the Led Zeppelin guitarist during a bitchy press conference, the magus of cinema turned again to imprisoned Manson Family member Bobby Beausoleil, who had been his original choice to record the film's music. This was before the two had a falling out in 1969 and before Beausoleil was charged with the murder of music teacher Gary Hinman over a drug deal gone bad. He'd been in prison since 1970, but when he'd heard that Anger had sacked Page, Beausoleil contacted Anger to inform him that he had the means (and the latitude from a liberal warden at Tracy Prison) to be able to record the soundtrack.
The extraordinarily weird music Beausoleil produced with his Freedom Orchestra (which also included another imprisoned Manson Family member Steve "Clem" Grogan on guitar) matched Anger's occult vision perfectly, producing a stunning masterpiece. Additional music recorded by Beausoleil and the Freedom Orchestra was released as a box set in 2005 as The Lucifer Rising Suite (Original Soundtrack and Sessions Anthology) and is highly recommended.
Yesterday some video appeared on Bobby Beausoleil's YouTube channel of an astonishing live performance by the Freedom Orchestra at Tracy Prison contemporaneous to when they were actually recording the Lucifer Rising soundtrack. Some of what was performed here, I believe is exactly what we hear on the soundtrack. Last month, Beausoleil, currently serving his life sentence in the California Medical Facility in Vacaville, had another bid for parole denied by the California Parole Board. He's now 69 years old.
If you are a Kenneth Anger fan, prepare to have your fucking mind blown, after the jump…

Welcome to the ineedhits Search Engine Marketing blog, where we share the latest search engine and online marketing news, releases, industry trends and great DIY tips and advice.
Linking is a big part of any search engine marketing campaign, but website owners need to ensure they are building quality over quantity when it comes to backlinks.
Why? Poor quality backlinks will generally offer little benefit to a sites ranking and in some cases can actually harm it. Participation in free-for-all link farms and other link spamming techniques are easily recognized by modern search engine spiders, which will penalize any websites participating in them.
So how can website owners build quality backlinks for their website? Here are a few tips to get you started:
Submit Your Site to Directories
Submitting your website to directories remains one of the oldest and most effective ways to generate backlinks. There are thousands of online directories ranging from the largest (such as DMOZ and Yahoo! Directory) to a wide range of specific niche directories. To measure the quality of these directories, look at the PageRank of the categories you intend to submit to as well as the quality of websites included in the directory. Use your common sense here and if the directory looks to be providing genuine value, submit your website.
Press Releases
Create a press release about newsworthy events and submit them online. There are a range of options here (both paid and free) but generally the paid services provide the widest reach. Press releases that contain your company URL get picked up by a variety of online publishers and can help to provide topical inbound links to your site.
Build Links from Relevant Websites
This method requires you to contact other relevant websites and ask for them to link to your site. These types of links can be established over time and can take a while to develop. The best way is to try and build a mutually beneficial relationship with other websites and if required, provide a link back to their site also.
Create Interesting Content
This is the most natural way to build links over time but does require commitment and effort on your part. Creating unique and interesting content provides the opportunity for other websites to link to you because they see genuine value in the information you provide. Writing background information and commenting on industry trends are a great way to try and build this content.
These tips are just some of the many ways you can go about acquiring backlinks for your site. The safest way is to build these links over time, as a sudden increase in incoming links for any website can set off alarm bells in search engine spiders.
If you don't want the hassle of building your backlinks manually, why not check out our G-Boost, Y-Boost and M-Boost services which all include careful link building elements.
Keep up to date with the latest from our blogs.

Psychiatrists specialize in emotional and mental health, but they have the same foundational training as other physicians. Their education enables them to diagnose both the mental and physical reasons for illness, according to the American Psychiatric Association. They use a wide range of treatments, including psychotherapy, psychoanalysis and medication. A practicing psychiatrist must have a bachelor's degree, a medical degree, additional qualifications in psychiatry and a state license.
The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that employment opportunities for physicians are expected to grow by 24 percent over the next several years. This rate is faster than the average for other occupations.
