6 Tips For Improving Corporate Blog Content
- Posted in Press Release Quick Tips
- Tagged in Social Media
- Leave a Comment
A number of prognosticators have decreed that blogs are in varying degrees of death, fueled last year by Pew Research Center studies in 2010 and 2011, which suggested that young people are gravitating toward social networking; and by study from The Center for Marketing Research (UMass – Dartmouth) that suggested corporations are following suit.
When I look at the results our blog has garnered – more than 140,000 reads since inception, with lots of re-blogging and even media pick up of our posts, and growing visibility in search engines – I wonder at the larger corporate trend away from blogging. Why would any sensible organization close such an invaluable communications channel?
Well, there are probably a few reasons. Obviously, you have to publish good content people will read. But anyone who runs a blog will tell you that content generation can be challenging, to say the very least. And it can be tough for the organization to understand the need to put the audience first, and not try to stuff straight marketing messaging down the channel. I've rejected a host of blog posts penned by my colleagues that were little more than sales pitches – not exactly the kind of content we've come to purvey on Beyond PR.
Here are some tips on developing content your audience will value, derived from my experience running the Beyond PR blog.
- Be authentic. Say no to ghosts. They're creepy.
- Be useful to your audience. Say no to posts that aren't useful to your readers. Posts that aren't germane to your blog's mission dilute your overall message, and your value to readers, causing their attention to wane.
- Notice which posts articles are read (and shared) more than others. The simple act of paying attention to your own analytics will illustrate in no uncertain terms what content your audience likes, and which blog posts were duds.
- Mine referring search engine terms for story ideas. I notice that we get queries that are adjacent to some of the content we have published. Often, the queries are looking for more specific details related to that content. When I see queries recur, that (to me, at least) is an indicator of a real opportunity to fill a need.
- Trawl industry message boards, notice the questions that recur, and answer them in blog posts. This is pretty obvious, too. Discussions generating a lot of traction on message boards and in discussion groups are obviously of interest to the audience. I have taken cues from several of these, even reaching out and quoting people from the original discussion in the ensuing blog post.
- As much as possible, diversify the voices on the blog, while making sure the content still fits with the blog's overall mission. Ours is to inform, educate (and maybe entertain a bit.) New features from one of ProfNet's writers, Grace Lavigne (author of the Grammar Hammer and Dear Gracie) have proven popular, and have expanded our subject matter.
Here at PR Newswire, this little blog is more than a cog in our social media wheel – you could argue that it's our hub. We participate in a variety of networks, most notably Twitter, where our lively presence has garnered more than 50,000 followers. Our Twitter team is active participants and curators, gathering and sharing information. But it's on the blog that we're able to really do our thinking, to expand beyond the limits of 140 characters, and share with our audience more of our perspective. And the original content we publish on the blog is more fodder for all of our other social networks. Clearly, our friends/fans/followers and connections appreciate our sharing blog content, because about a third of our blog traffic comes from links we've shared on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.
I believe that corporate blogs that exist to share information and showcase expertise have a healthy future as the lynchpin in content marketing and social media strategies. What do you think? Has your organization backed away from blogging?

Maddon focused on Niemann's angle, not velocity
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- Joe Maddon has been questioned a lot about Jeff Niemann's velocity being down this spring, but the Rays manager isn't concerned.
Why? Because Maddon believes the 6-foot-9 Niemann has more to offer than speed alone.
"For me, it's all about the angle for him," Maddon said. "He's a down-angle freak. ... It's plenty of velocity. I don't think hitters see him well. The angle is abnormal to really square the ball up."
Maddon pointed out that few pitchers in the Major Leagues can create such a downward angle with their pitches like Niemann can.
"I think it's more about angles," Maddon said. "And if he has command off of that angle, that's what's difficult."
Niemann, who is in contention with Roberto Hernandez for the No. 5 spot in the Rays' rotation pitched Friday against the Orioles. He allowed five earned runs on 10 hits with a walk and five strikeouts in six innings.

The Jets are having a very solid offseason, if you listen to one NFL general manager who spoke to Metro New York.
Assessing the Jets' decisions in free agency, the league executive, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, called the team's moves this offseason "very solid; they upgraded their team."
Despite a large amount of salary cap space, the Jets have been relatively understated. The team signed running back Chris Johnson and wide receiver Eric Decker to bolster an anemic offense a season ago. But outside of those moves, most of the Jets' free agent signings have been under the radar.
But that didn't stop one AFC general manager from seeing it as a good offseason for the team. This despite the clamoring of fans for big names and bigger contracts.
"I think what they did was really smart. They didn't go out there and overspend. They stuck to their board and their values, which most teams don't do. It was shrewd from them," the general manager said. "It wasn't big names, but this is a new general manager. I think it is fair to say that they 'got religion' in terms of big-time free agents. They've hit very few home runs in the past.
"Last year, a lot of people didn't like their moves: Chris Ivory, [Dawan] Landry, even re-signing [Calvin] Pace and moves like that. There weren't big names. This year, they got some bigger names like a Decker, like [Breno] Giacomini, but they retained a lot of their core, a core that got them to 8-8. It is the kind of offseason that the doctor ordered."
The general manager also applauded counterpart John Idzik, who took a different approach to a less-than-stellar crop of talent.
"Despite the hype, this wasn't a tremendous free agent class," the general manager said. "They didn't overspend. It gives them the chance to sign and retain this group down the road — guys like [Mo] Wilkerson who could want a contract extension soon. Remember, free agent money ties down money not just this year, but years down the road. So just because you aren't spending this year doesn't mean that the money will be there next year. Fans don't understand that it doesn't work that way. But they aren't far away. If Geno Smith plays better, they are a playoff team [last year]. They needed some upgrades, they didn't need a dramatic offseason overhaul or talent infusion. They're close.
"It is clear that they are going to build through the draft. That's what the Seahawks have done and what I know John wants to do."

Malaria is caused by a parasite and is a health problem for mothers and fetuses (unborn infants). The Cameroonian Ministry of Health recommends that all pregnant women should take the drug sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (also known as SP) every two months during pregnancy to avoid malaria. The purpose of this study is to find out how effective SP is in preventing pregnant Cameroonian women from getting malaria. Additional goals of this study are to see whether: SP prevents malaria parasites from causing changes in the placenta; SP prevents or helps women make a substance that keeps parasites from accumulating in the placenta; and whether SP affects the amount of protection a mother transfers to her baby. Participants will include 1,160 pregnant women, ages 15-50 years, and 216 babies born residing in Ngalii II and Ntouessong. Study procedures will include monthly blood samples from pregnant women and babies. Volunteers may participate in this study for up to 19 months.

Plasmodium falciparum malaria is one of the three major infectious diseases in the world today. Infants in endemic areas are born with transplacentally-acquired antibodies (Ab) that help to protect them against severe infections. Once this passive-immunity wanes, infants become susceptible to severe disease. Asymptomatic and clinical malaria are more common in pregnant women, creating a health problem for both mother and developing fetus. Malaria increases maternal anemia, mortality at parturition and the risk of having low birth weight (LBW) babies. This study plans to enroll a total of 1,160 pregnant women, ages 15 to 50 years, including 920 pregnant women who reside in the city of Yaounde and 240 women who reside in the rural villages of Ngali II and Ntouessong. In addition, 216 babies born residing in Ngali II and Ntouessong will be enrolled. Women will receive physical exams, participate in blood sample collection, and will be followed monthly through their pregnancy. Participants will receive sulfadoxine - pyrimethamine (SP) every other month until term, as recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). During the 2nd or 3rd visit, pregnant women will be asked to provide a stool sample for detection of intestinal parasites. At delivery, the following will be collected: 2-3 cc of maternal venous blood, information on the newborn, a biopsy of the placenta for histology, blood from the intervillous space of the placenta (IVS) for cytokines, and fetal cord blood for Ab and primed T and B cells. To determine how malarial infection during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters influences malarial infection in infants, mothers in the above study as well as additional mothers who received Intermittent Preventive Therapy (IPT)-SP during the 2nd and 3rd trimester and women who received less than the recommended dose will be recruited during their last trimester of pregnancy and asked to enroll their newborns. The levels of antimalarial cellular and humoral immunity at birth will be recorded for each infant. The newborn will be followed to determine when they 1st become positive for P. falciparum and the number and severity of infections. In addition, the decline of maternal Ab and acquisition of Ab (IgM and IgG) by infants to vaccine-candidate antigen (Ag) will be monitored throughout the 1st year using blood samples collected monthly. The goals of this study are to determine if the absence of malaria during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters (due to the use of IPT) does the following: alters the development of pregnancy-associated immunity in the mother; reduces placental pathology; and increases the susceptibility of babies to malaria. The primary outcome measures will be to determine: at delivery, the proportion of primigravidae with Ab to variant antigen identified by Salanti (VAR2csa) will be significantly reduced if pregnant women are not infected during the 3rd trimester of pregnancy; prevalence of presence of severe pathology will be compared among the groups; and the number of babies who have malaria during the first 6 months of life. The secondary outcome measures of this study will include: determining if maternal P. falciparum infection during the 2nd or 3rd trimester reduces the transfer of malaria-specific IgG to the fetus; determining if the proportion of babies who are born with primed T cells is the same in those whose mothers had malaria during the 2nd or 3rd trimester compared to those who did not; presence of primed B cells in cord blood will be detected by culturing cord blood mononuclear cells MNC in vitro culture for 5 days; and plasma collected from babies when they experience their 1st P. falciparum infection will be screened for the presence of IgG and IgM Abs against the panel of Ag. The duration of the entire study is 5 years.

Time to Play Defense
It's a classic failed bounce and an ugly intraday reversal, the biggest since last year. It's the sort of action I would expect from an oversold bounce after the market rolls over.
Action like this confirms my "topping process" thesis, especially since we have not seen selling pick up to this degree in a while. It's obvious that market players saw the early strength as an opportunity to cut long exposure and that is what they are doing....88 more words left in this article.

How to Select
How to select Portable Air Purifiers
The best feature of a portable air purifier, in addition to its ability to clean the air from harmful particles, is that it can be moved to the location of your choice. This means that instead of purchasing a device for every room of your house you can use a single air purifier to do the cleaning job of many devices. We have prepared the following guide to help you select the perfect choice for your home.
First factor to consider when selecting a portable air cleaner is the technology that it uses. Since the main purpose of such a device is to remove the air from harmful substances or particles, you need to know exactly what such substances are and then select the purifier with a compatible filter. For example, if you know that there is a hazardous gas present in the air, ensure that the purifier that you select will be able to absorb the gas. If you don't know what exactly is wrong with the indoor air but know for sure it is not healthy, a HEPA purifier may be the perfect option for you. Devices with HEPA technology are used in hospitals, spas and clean rooms and proven to be efficient and safe.
Now that you know the type of your future portable air purifier it is time to find out what its cleaning capacity is. The power of each device is measured by ACH, air changes per hour. This means the amount of clean air that can fill the entire room in an hour of a device's operation. The recommended ACH ratio for all air cleaning devices is 2. So before you purchase a portable air cleaner, ensure that it is powerful enough to clean the air in a room of your choice.
Operating cost is another significant factor to consider. The more energy a purifier spends while operating, the more often its filters need to be replaced and the more time it requires for maintenance, the higher is the operating cost of such device. Before you commit to buying an air purifier, pay closer attention to its specifications. More than that pay even closer attention to the filter's price and capacity. The air purifier itself may be cheap, but it all comes down to the filter technology and the cost of its replacement.
Maintenance and noise level are yet other factors to consider. As we have stated earlier, the primary part of a purifier's maintenance is replacing its filters. Ensure that it is simple and can be performed by a non-professional. In addition to that, look for a device that is manufactured from durable and resistant materials. As for the noise, if you are planning to use such device nonstop, ensure that it has silent operation.

Electrons and GravityScience brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
What will happen if we keep a bucket beneath a current-carrying wire and cut the wire? Will the electrons fall into the bucket?
Assume that the wire doesn't actually touch the bucket after it is cut.
AnswerThe force of gravity is much much less than electrostatic force so no electron will fall into the bucket.
Remember, this is not water.

Imagine what it must be like for people to feel as though they do not matter. Imagine being in a restaurant or a professional's office and feeling invisible. Researchers long ago recognized that living life without feeling noticed or appreciated by others was one of the worst-case scenarios for people of any age.1
Older people often indicate that they feel "invisible" and unappreciated. In a society that reveres youth and ridicules aging it is human nature to assume aging leads only to failing capabilities and losses. As a result, many people overlook the upside and benefits of aging.
When older adults accept the negative it often results in feelings of diminished self-worth and depressive symptoms. These and other negative emotions reduce quality of life, wellbeing and longevity. A study conducted by researchers at Harvard, Yale and Miami (Ohio) universities found that those who had positive perceptions of aging lived an average of 7.5 years longer than those with cloudier outlooks.2 This reinforces the importance of helping people achieve a more positive attitude about aging.
Perhaps stereotypes perceived about older people as behaving grouchy or irritable arise from emotional distress that is experienced and internalized. These behaviors are often incorrectly viewed by seniors, families, or professionals as normal personality changes that accompany aging.
Because feelings and emotions are integral to the holistic nature and are linked to wellbeing, it is important to understand that wellness depends on how people of all ages balance the mind, body and spiritual dimensions. Emotional wellness involves balancing feelings and managing stress and transitions. However, we understand that for some older adults, age-related changes may increase risk factors that result in additional stressors that overwhelm coping skills and lead to greater vulnerability to negative emotions, dispiritedness, and emotional distress.
To help enhance emotional wellness, older adults, families, and professionals need to understand the characteristics linked to "emotional vitality" discovered by researchers which include:
Professionals working with older people need to become educated about the risk factors of emotional distress and dispiritedness. We also need to encourage a broad range of positive emotions such as happiness, contentment and gratitude, and discourage negative emotions such as sadness and frustration.5 When we work with older adults who demonstrate negative emotions and behaviors, we need to provide emotional support, help them recognize their strengths and accomplishments, and motivate them to focus on their own capabilities and possibilities.
If necessary, we need to refer older adults to mental health professionals for life coaching or in-depth assistance to manage their emotional distress in order to enhance their wellness. Research suggests that emotional support and mastery (coping and being able to manage everyday life) are linked to decreased mortality in older adults.6

Rawdon's Sam Tordoff will return for a second season in the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) after announcing a deal to stay with the Factory MG KX Momentum Racing Team.
The 24-year-old will race alongside two-time champion Jason Plato as he looks to build on a highly successful debut year.
In 2013, Tordoff finished as Top Rookie in the Championship and sixth overall.
The drivers who finished ahead of him in a highly competitive championship were the five past champions.
Tordoff scored his maiden pole position and won at Snetterton Race Circuit, Norfolk in August, while securing a further six podium finishes.
Tordoff will once again be supported by the KX Akademy as he retains his place from 2013.
The Akademy will support five drivers throughout the 2014 season in various championships across the BTCC support packages.
The drivers receive tuition, advice and promotion, as well as funding towards their chosen championship.
Sam said: "I am absolutely delighted to return to MG KX Momentum Racing and to the KX Akademy. This outcome is the perfect scenario and the continuation I have of keeping the same people around me for 2014 will no doubt be highly beneficial.
"My goal for the 2014 season is to return to the BTCC for a shot at the title. Last year was a learning year where I gained invaluable experience, began to understand an NTGC car and adapt to the race craft. I will now return to the BTCC as a better driver to fight for wins and achieve consistency, which will put me much closer to the championship battle."
The 30-round British Touring Car Championship is televised live on ITV4 and begins at Brands Hatch Race Circuit, Kent on March 29 and 30.

The Fifth Element (1997)
54 mistakes
Directed by: Luc Besson
Starring: Bruce Willis, Chris Tucker, Gary Oldman, Ian Holm, Milla Jovovich
Continuity mistake: When the police confront Leeloo on the side of the building, she raises her hands and we can see that they're covered in soot. She jumps off and lands in Korben's cab. When she comes to, she presses her hand against the glass, and her hand is magically clean.
Revealing mistake: Right after they "create" Leeloo and she is lying in the plastic cage with the little straps on her, the guy approaches her and says, "if you want out, you are going to have to work on your communication skills." She gives him a dirty look, and then you can see a huge hole, pre-cut in the glass, that she busts her hand through.
Continuity mistake: When Zorg is first seen walking, and the screen only shows his legs, there is an audible clank as he steps with his RIGHT leg. After that, the clank is heard from his left foot.
Continuity mistake: When Zorg returns to the flying hotel, he kills some security guards. When Korben and the others takes his shuttle to escape, their bodies have disappeared.
Continuity mistake: When the cops are are getting the Golden Menus, the girl at the drive-in window hands them their order and you see a key on top of one of the boxes. The cop in the passenger seat gives the driver the order and the key is gone.
Continuity mistake: After Leeloo fights the Mangalores in the Diva's room but then has to give the stones box to Zorg, she throws it to him with forward rotation but when the box is shown flying through the air in slow motion, it's rotating backwards.
Revealing mistake: When Korben Dallas "negotiates" with the Mangalores by shooting their leader in the head, the small tube used to create the hole in the leader's head is visible.
Continuity mistake: When the cops go looking for Korben and Leeloo in the fog, there are two orange light sticks hanging from the ceiling inside their car. From the outside looking in they are swinging from side to side very quickly. But from the inside looking out they are swinging from side to side very slowly.
Other mistake: In the scene in the beginning when you first see the fifth element, and the camera moves up so you see the wide open mouth, look to the shoulder on the left. In the years of undisturbed dust, there are a few finger prints.
Continuity mistake: In the beginning at the Egyptian temple while speaking to the Priest, the Professor has his cup in his right hand then a brush then the cup again...all while speaking the same sentence.
Revealing mistake: When the space ship leaves the Earth's atmosphere about to make the jump to Phloston Paradise, you can see the box around the spaceship used as part of the effects process.
Continuity mistake: When Leeloo is fighting the Mangalores in the Diva's quarters, one of them swings at her from behind. She ducks and turns her head, and in the next shot she has turned completely around as the Mangalore throws its second punch.
Continuity mistake: When the police are chasing Korben and Leeloo in the taxi, Korben uses a video display map of "Manhattan 2nd District". When he switches it on, it looks normal, but when the camera cuts away then back again, the display is reversed as though it were in a mirror.
Other mistake: Leeloo jumps from the ledge and falls straight through the roof of Korben's cab like it was made of paper. But a few seconds later, the police open fire on the cab and the bullets don't penetrate.
Revealing mistake: When Zorg is talking on the phone with Mr. Shadow, a tube is briefly visible on his forehead. It is used to deliver the brown "goo" onto Gary Oldman's head a few seconds later.
Audio problem: During any scene where weapons are being fired, the audio has the sound of cartridge casings falling onto a hard surface, but none of the weapons are ejecting cartridge casings to fall.
Continuity mistake: When Corben bails on the 5-0 (in his taxi with Leeloo), he yanks the police car's winch right out of the car (which resulted in dragging the winch, as well as the entire length of the cable behind his taxi). In the next shot showing his car (4 police cars chasing him down the "street"), the cable and winch have disappeared.
Other mistake: When the two police officers are searching for Korben's taxi, as one police officer asks "How do they expect us to find anything in this... ", both police officers have the same ID number on their helmets.
Continuity mistake: When Dallas hangs the coffee pot to brew, it's hung at an angle of about 20°. A few seconds later, it's righted itself to a level position and the handle changes to silver lined.
Continuity mistake: The pre-cut piece of glass that Leeloo breaks through when she escapes is a different shape after it is broken.

Sunday, February 5: I was up at 7:00 a.m., packed, and eating breakfast by 7:30. Bill was at the hotel promptly at 8:30 to take me to Unico Gap. In addition to fulfilling this request on my behalf, he also transported me to both IGA and RiteAid to locate a few ounces of denatured alcohol, for my cook stove (I checked with Aimee, my daughter; the stove is actually her's… The stove will work with Isopropyl Alcohol…the higher the percent of alcohol the better. I purchased 91 percent). In the gap, we each took a picture of the other… and I was on my way!
The climb out of the gap was graded by "slabbing" the slope or with switchbacks. I felt good going up first one small mountain and then on to Tray Mountain. This part of the Appalachian Trail traverses ridges in what is called the Tray Mountain Wilderness, part of the Chattahoochee National Forest. A short hike north from the summit of Tray Mountain is a .2 mile side trail to Tray Mountain Shelter. After consulting my trail information, I decided take a short break and then continue on 7.4 miles to the next shelter (I'd hiked 5.7 miles at this point). After the break, I began hiking north, taking a short break in Steeltrap Gap (1.7 miles). At that point I somehow got turned-around, and proceeded to unintentionally walk right back up to the Tray Mountain Shelter (side trail)!
Needless to say, this is not what I intended to do. However, at this point (having just finished 3.4 miles) I decided Tray Mountain Shelter "really wanted me to say there" so that's just what I decided to do. Not so ironic, it's actually pretty easy to go the "wrong way" on the AT, as the white blazes do not indicate travel north or south. And, when you are hiking back the way you came…it really does look different. But, inevitably, you feel stupid! Note: From this point on, when I stop, I lay one of my hiking poles on the ground pointing the direction I'm to continue hiking.
Tray Mountain Shelter is a nice "lean-to" style shelter, with great views and an excellent "piped" spring (the water exits a concrete fixture through a pipe) delivering excellent water! Not long after arriving, Peter, a young man and his dog (from the local area), stopped by the shelter on a training hike (in preparation of an AT thru-hike beginning later this spring). Peter was very cordial, offering me any assistance, should I chose to stop by Hiawassee from Dick's Creek Gap. Shortly after Peter left, I ended-up enjoying a nice dinner and a beautiful clear night with a nearly full moon. In the cool of the evening, lights from the distant valley, seemed to sparkle and shimmer. Before falling asleep I left a couple of messages for my mother, on the occasion of her 89th birthday! 5.7 plus 3.4 miles for the day; 58.6 miles on the AT.

Hello I am trying todo the following:
UPDATE Post_Gallery post_id
SET pg.post_id = c.post_id
FROM _Content AS c
WHERE c.id = pg.id
However I get an error at 'FROM _Content....'
Any help is much appreciated
[[B]UPDATE[/B] Post_Gallery, Content [URL="http://search.mysql.com/search?site=refman-%35%31&q=SET"][B]SET[/B] Post_Gallery.post_id = Content.post_id [URL="http://search.mysql.com/search?site=refman-%35%31&q=WHERE"][B]WHERE[/B]](http://search.mysql.com/search?site=refman-%35%31&q=UPDATE) Content.id = Post_Gallery.id
Amazing, thank you
or like that
UPDATE pSET p.post_id = c.post_id FROM Post_Gallery p join _Content AS c on p.id=c.id
no, not like that -- did you see post #1? the use of FROM is invalid
It is work...
you have
UPDATE Post_Gallery post_id SET pg.post_id = c.post_id FROM _Content AS c WHERE c.id = pg.id
and in from you must join both tables this is where the problem
update tableWhichNeedsUpdateset <value=value>from table1 join table2on table.field=table2.fieldwhere <condition>
this is a schema
Seems to be a MySQL versus MS SQL situation again.
From the MySQL page, UPDATE doesn't allow FROMHowever, MS SQL does.
This is why I wish sitepoint hadn't merged mysql in with the other databases forum when they "tidied" up the forums. Either that or everyone should preface their question with choice of database app in a pull-down menu that is a required field before posting.
but if one reads post #1 carefully, one notices that the error message pointed to the FROM keyword as causing the error
Yes, but if you read it without making assumptions, it purely states he receives an error on the line FROM _Content, doesn't specify what the error is, just the line it is thrown on (for all we know it could be a syntax issue -- since the query was obviously broken when posted). Nonetheless, I agree that the consolidation can at times make it harder to quickly resolve a problem if you don't know what Database the user is running.
so what's wrong with asking, when necessary?
many query problems can be resolved with sql that is so "vanilla" that it will work in any database
UPDATE is ~not~ in that category
neither are date functions, etc.
so if it matters, and the original poster hasn't declared which database system is being used, i always ask first

How to raise happy toddlers
Welcome to the happy toddler zone that has everything parents need to know about this oh-so special age group. more
Most parents would agree that the one thing that really makes them mad (to do with their kids) is asking, and asking, and asking again for them to do some simple task.
"They should just do it the first time!" they say.
Wouldn't it be great if we didn't have to nag? Imagine if we spoke and - hey presto - kids complied. Our homes would be, well, heavenly.
However, our children are not automatons, nor are they robots or slaves. They are people. They have preferences, priorities, and minds of their own.
The ironic thing is that children are not the only ones who need to be reminded - again, and again, and again - to do something. Sometimes we, the perfect adults, also need reminding.
Need proof?
Jennine and Ian, two friends of mine, shared the following story with me. Both are definitely grown-ups. They're parents, employed, intelligent, terrific people. Nothing dysfunctional so far...
Jennine has a habit of making herself a cup of tea and dropping the used teabag into the sink. Her husband, Ian, has asked, and asked, and asked, and begged, and pleaded with Jennine to put her used teabags IN THE BIN!!! NOT THE SINK!!!
Ian asked Jennine EVERY DAY for 51 DAYS to do this simple task after making her cup of tea. Jennine wasn't trying to torture Ian. She didn't mean to upset him. Truth be told, Jennine didn't recall being asked, or thought she had properly dealt with the teabag issue each day.
For 51 days Ian catalogued the teabag controversy with a photograph. The photographs were presented to Jennine in an album (with the title "seething resentment") when Ian simply could not stand it any longer.
Grown ups seem to be as susceptible to the issue of not doing as they're asked the first time they're asked to do it, just like our children. Perhaps it's human nature? Especially in lives so full of busy-ness and distraction.
Many parent's typical reaction to not being listened to is to yell. While a loud and angry tirade usually gets things done, it comes at a cost. Anger always does. We harm our relationships with our children (or spouse) when we are angry.
Instead, I suggest you do the following:
Persistent use of gentle reminders will get things done, better, faster, and more lovingly than most other methods. Kindness rather than anger, patience rather than self-righteous tut-tutting, gentleness rather than abrasive outbursts. These approaches reduce nagging, and offer simple solutions to the endless need to get things done.

BOSTON - Milan Lucic and Jarome Iginla registered third-period goals and Tuukka Rask stopped 31 shots, as the Boston Bruins advanced courtesy of a 4-2 decision over the Detroit Red Wings in Game 5 of this Eastern Conference quarterfinal from TD Garden.
BOSTON - Milan Lucic and Jarome Iginla registered third-period goals and Tuukka Rask stopped 31 shots, as the Boston Bruins advanced courtesy of a 4-2 decision over the Detroit Red Wings in Game 5 of this Eastern Conference quarterfinal from TD Garden.
Loui Eriksson and Zdeno Chara also tallied, with Torey Krug adding a pair of assists for the Bruins, who won the series 4-1 and face the rival Montreal Canadiens in the next round at a date to be determined.
"That series was a lot tougher than maybe the results showed; Detroit is a really good team with a great system and great players," Chara said in praise of his opponents for the last eight days.
Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg provided offense for the Red Wings, who failed to win a playoff series for the second time in three seasons.
Jonas Gustavsson, making his second start in place of the ill Jimmy Howard, made 29 saves in the season-ending setback.
The contest turned in the hosts' favor after Johan Franzen and Brendan Smith were sent off for separate infractions 22 seconds apart inside the final minute of the second period. During a 4-on-3 advantage Chara's right-point blast sailed over Gustavsson's glove with 3.8 seconds showing to make it 2-1 for the Bruins.
Lucic extended the B's edge to 3-1 just before the 4 1/2-minute mark of the third. Franzen failed to clear the puck properly and his cross-ice attempt found the stick of Krug, who was allowed space on the left wing to slip a centering feed to the burly goal scorer.
Zetterberg pulled his team within a goal, cleaning up a Justin Abdelkader rebound from a sharp angle at the left side as the clock ticked down below four minutes left in regulation.
A bench minor committed by Detroit placed the visitors down a man with 3:04 to play and put a damper on its comeback hopes, which were ultimately dashed on Iginla's empty-net score with 16 seconds to play.
"You want to be the best you can be, I didn't think we were, but (this experience has been) real good for our kids. They found out how hard it is," stated Red Wings head coach Mike Babcock. "We gotta have a big summer. We gotta get healthy and we gotta get in shape."
Boston recorded the game's first goal on the game's initial power play, as Dougie Hamilton carried up the right wing and dished to a crossing Eriksson, who deposited his backhander from the right side at the 3:27 mark.
Only 12 seconds into a Lucic high-sticking minor, the Red Wings knotted the contest. Zetterberg sent a fluttering shot from the point, which caromed off Rask and right to Datsyuk for his third of the series at 14:41 of the second period.
"We had to play really well to beat this team. We really had to earn our wins," said Bruins head coach Claude Julien. "We'll enjoy the win today, and the series win, and we'll regroup."
Game Notes: Boston improved to 5-3 all-time in playoff series against fellow Original Six member Detroit … The Bruins and Canadiens faced each other three times in four playoffs from 2008-11, with the former winning the last two meetings … Boston has won at least one playoff round in five of the seven seasons Julien has guided the club … Eriksson hadn't scored a playoff goal since May 14, 2008 for the Dallas Stars … The Red Wings replaced forward Todd Bertuzzi with Daniel Alfredsson, who returned following a two-game absence … The Bruins scratched forward Daniel Paille.

IT WAS one of the most iconic images of the Canvey floods, the small girl being carried to safety in a policeman's arms.
But for 60 years, mystery surrounded who the girl was and what had happened to her.
Now her story can be told for the first time.
Judy Dolby, whose maiden name was Taggart, had just turned three when flood waters submerged Canvey on January 31, 1953.
The disaster claimed the lives of 58 people, but Judy survived after being carried to safety by PC Bill Pilgrim from her home in Long Road.
Judy, 63, who now lives in Leigh, remembers nothing of that night, but was always keen to tell the story behind the famous photograph and finally put a name to the "unknown child".
She said: "There's been so much coverage on the floods and I really wanted to put a name to the photo, we might not be here for the 70th anniversary."
Judy and her sister Pamela Kendrick, 67, who was seven-years-old at the time of the floods, were back on Canvey on Friday to witness the unveiling of a new commemorative plaque.
Pamela, from Rayleigh, has vivid memories of what happened that night. She said: "I remember getting up and seeing water in the garden, I could hear it swishing around and I told my parents.
"The people next door said the island was flooded and we had to get our things together and leave, but I don't remember my parents panicking, they took it all in their stride."
The Taggarts went to stay with friends, the Seago family, in Benfleet, so had to leave behind their bungalow with their mum Pat, while dad Eric stayed behind with their German Shepherd Max to help with the rescue effort.
However, Pamela had to make her own way through the water carrying a suitcase - something which the sisters have joked about ever since.
Judy said: "It's always been a bone of contention that I was carried by the policeman."

Bill Burke '00 Receives Horizon Ribbon
Bill is a research scholar at Stanford University's Center on Food Security and the Environment. His focus on Africa began when he was a Peace Corps volunteer in Gambia, West Africa, from 2001 to 2003. There, on the west coast of Africa, he learned to speak fluent Mandinka.
Returning from The Republic of The Gambia in 2003, Burke headed to graduate school at Michigan State University, earning a master's degree in agricultural economics in 2009. In early 2010, Bill returned to Africa to begin a long-term overseas assignment in Lusaka, Zambia. In addition to carrying out fieldwork as a doctoral candidate, he spent his time in Zambia providing research, outreach and capacity-building services for the USAID and SIDA-funded Food Security Research Project. His work in Zambia focused on several aspects of the heavily subsidized maize and fertilizer sectors. The International Association of Agricultural Economists' flagship journal, Agricultural Economics, recognized his work on the effect of subsidies on private retail activity with its 2009 prize for Best Paper.
After completing his doctorate in agricultural economics at Michigan State University in 2012, Burke remained in Zambia as an assistant professor of international development. He joined Stanford's Center on Food Security and the Environment in September 2012.
At Stanford, he's continuing his research on agricultural issues in the Guinea Savannah region of Africa, and teaching a course for graduate students on quantitative analysis and the practical side of conducting fieldwork in developing countries.
Outside of his work in Africa, Burke is the author of the "craggit" command in Stata (a data analysis and statistical software), which facilitates the estimation and interpretation of John Cragg's more flexible alternative to the popular "tobit" econometric model for corner solution dependent variables.
Bill will receive his award at Fall Convocation on Tuesday, August 27.
The Horizon Ribbon Award is one of three awards given annually on behalf of the Alumni Association. To nominate outstanding alumni, view lists of past recipients or learn more, please visit our alumni awards page.

BEN LOMOND -- The Rev. Andrew "Randy" Beck and his late wife, Terry, were awarded the 2012 Lifetime Achievement Award from the United Way's Community Heroes Program on Nov. 19.
The award recognized the couple's 35 years of foster parenting more than 50 children in their Mount Hermon home.
Terry Beck died Oct. 5, two months before the awards ceremony.
The Becks first welcomed foster children into their home in 1977.
"My wife noticed we had some extra bedrooms," Andrew Beck said.
They began with two children, a 7-year-old boy and his half-sister. All five biological Beck children learned to cope with each new foster child.
"Each time you add a personality to a family it stresses everybody," Andrew Beck said, but he added that his children grew from their experiences. His son is now a foster parent of two.
Andrew Beck is the priest at Sts. Peter and Paul's Orthodox Church in Ben Lomond. He and his wife tried to involve each foster child with their church.
"Not all of them were interested, and that's fine," he said.
Andrew and Terry Beck adopted four of their foster children. They recognized these children's needs for a family long after they left the foster care system.
"'Who's going to walk me down the aisle when I get married? Where do I go for Christmas?'" their first adopted child asked them.
Terry Beck was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in April. Family and friends gathered to care for her and their youngest adopted children, 7-year-old Elijah and 4-year-old Jayden.
"She was that kind of woman that drew you to give," Andrew Beck said.
Andrew Beck met Terry after graduating from UCLA. Terry, he said, was different than anyone he'd met before.
"She was a very good, sobering effect on my shallow life," he said.
He proposed to her four weeks later. They married in 1974.
Terry Beck would've appreciated the United Way Community Heroes Award, Andrew Beck said, but she did not live for earthly honors.
"She's winning for the award she got in heaven just a few weeks ago," he said.
Andrew Beck said he encourages others to serve selflessly, as he and his wife have.
"All people have so much to offer," he said. "Most of us don't want to, we'd rather stay to ourselves rather than serving others."
Take a chance, he said. Be vulnerable.
"It's not the thought that counts. It's the action that counts."

DELIGHTED Kitty King says that receiving some recognition for a sparkling 2013 has given her a major confidence boost for the coming year.
The 31-year-old, who is based in Lower Stanton St Quintin, is celebrating a place among the country's elite after clinching a place on the British Equestrian Federation's UK Sport-funded world class programme for the first time in her career.
King helped Great Britain secure victory in last year's FEI Nations Cup with a fine performance at the final round in Boekolo, Netherlands, and also clinched impressive results at Gatcombe and Barbury.
The Wiltshire rider is hoping to cement a place in the world class squad as she aims to catapult herself to the 2016 Olympic Games.
"It's really exciting and it's nice to get that bit of recognition because it shows that people are taking notice of what you're doing – it's a nice confidence boost," said King.
"I'll get an allowance that helps towards things like physio for both the rider and the horse, which is something that you might not usually pay for yourself. If your shoulder or your back hurts, you usually just get on with it.
"I'll also get a competition allowance and be able to get free training, which will really help. I'm used to paying for different coaches, be it for dressage or showjumping.
"I'll be looking to try and stay on the programme because it gives you support in so many ways and I'm looking to go to big competitions like world games – then, there's Rio 2016 too.
"Going to the Olympics is an aim of mine and I've got a few rides that could have the potential to go there. But there's a long time and an awful lot can go wrong with horses, so we'll see what happens."
Despite playing part in Great Britain's Nations Cup victory last year, King is hoping for a bigger role in this year's series after a wrist injury prevented her competing in the majority of the rounds.
On Tuesday, the Wiltshire star was at the Unicorn Equestrian Centre in Stow-on-the-Wold to meet with the rest of this year's Nations Cup squad, with the first event of the series set to take place at Fontainebleau, France, in March.

Is your kid a reluctant learner?
Find out how to get your kid excited about being back at school. more
It can be a sad day for many parents – or a liberating one – when your child decides they don't want an afternoon nap anymore.
Yet many littlies still need it, or at least the opportunity to have some quiet time to unwind.
So what's the best way to deal with this transition from having a big chunk of restorative sleep in the afternoon to being able to make it through to bedtime at night without any major meltdowns – for tot and parent?
Studies show that a lot of children are still napping at the age of four years, but there are also many who start ditching that sleep well before. Nevertheless, these studies have found that at the age of five years, 20 per cent of kids are still having an afternoon nap of sorts.
Researchers today believe that tots take naps because a need to sleep builds up in their brains and it becomes a biological necessity. As their brain matures, and they are able to tolerate being awake, kids will fight going down for a nap.
As a general rule of thumb, if your child falls asleep easily at nap time – within 10 minutes – it's a sign he or she still needs an afternoon snooze.
But if your child displays the following signs, you may need to face the fact that nap time is over:
Just because your littlie is refusing point blank to sleep in the afternoon, it doesn't mean he's ready to party hard all day.
As he continues his transition to staying awake until after dinner, it might be beneficial to build in a quiet time at the same time he would be having a nap.
Some tips on how this can work are:
Suggested activities during this time include:
You may want to adjust his dinner, bath and bedtimes for a few weeks as he adapts to being awake all day – that is, bring all forward an hour or so. And, remember, it's possible he may still want to have the occasional daytime sleep, even if it's no longer every day.

Johnson decides to remain at Triple-A before callup
DETROIT -- Jim Johnson's audition at Triple-A Toledo is going to last a little bit longer. However, it was Johnson's decision to hold off on an expected return to the big leagues.
The Tigers signed Johnson to a Minor League contract with the understanding that they'd evaluate his status after three outings with the Mud Hens. Johnson threw two perfect innings Wednesday night in his third outing, well enough that he seemed on the verge of a callup when Buck Farmer was sent down.
Johnson, however, wanted another outing.
"Jim threw well in Toledo [Wednesday night]," Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. "But at Jim's request, he wanted another outing, which is a good sign because I think he's got an understanding of the big picture. So we're going to get him another outing before bringing him up."
Instead, the Tigers called up Melvin Mercedes as an extra reliever.
"He'll be here until something else changes," Ausmus said.
Johnson signed with the Tigers after being released by Oakland, where Johnson's struggles sent him from Opening Day closer to the far end of the bullpen. The Tigers took a chance on Johnson, noting his velocity was still near full strength.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Police say a dispute between a man hosting a football party on Saturday night and a man cutting himself some BBQ meat to take home escalated, and the guest struck the host with baseball bat, killing him.
The victim, 31-year-old Joshua Heinze, died the next morning at St. Vincent's Medical Center.
According to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, Alvin Welch, 35, was arrested Wednesday and charged with murder.
The incident happened about 11:45 p.m. at a home on Santa Fe Street North on the Southside. People at the party told police they only knew the man who swung the bat at Heinze' head as "Chico." He fled the house after the attack.
Police said Welch and Heize (pictured below) knew each other, but not well.
Investigators say there was alcohol use at the party, but they don't know if either the victim or assailant was intoxicated.
Neighbors say they are relieved that police have someone in custody.
"I hope justice is served because he was just a great guy," said Toby Murphy, who lives just a few houses away. "Me and my wife, we were pretty tore up. Especially to be so close."
Welch has a criminal history, with arrests for felony battery, aggravated battery upon a pregnant woman and possession of a controlled substance. He is being held without bond in the Duval County jail.

Are you guys talking about the same Era that produced movies like The King's Speech or The Good Shepherd?
Entertainment for the most part has operated over a similar spectrum over much of humanity's existence, there has always been instant gratification type media and drawn out media. I just sort of resent, or dislike the opinion that is often the default that some people go to of "These dang kids!"
That reasoning has always been present in media and it's just not very solid reasoning to me.
Anyway, probably not the true thread for this discussion.

Keeping Childbearing Normal Through Nutrition
by Marion Toepke McLean, CNM
© 1998 Midwifery Today, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
[Editor's note: This article first appeared in Midwifery Today Issue 48.]
During the months of pregnancy, every system of a woman's body changes. The blood and circulatory system expand and work for two. The basis of this expansion is nutritional.
Iron is a primary need during pregnancy. Baby's muscles, blood and other tissues contain iron, protein and scores of minerals, vitamins and other factors that are supplied through the mother's bloodstream by way of digestion or her own body stores. Iron is a vital part of the hemoglobin molecule, the building block of red blood cells that enables the blood to carry oxygen to body tissues. The mother adds around one-third extra blood herself, plus the baby must create its own supply and some extra that will remain in the placenta and cord after birth.
The placenta soaks up iron for the baby; the heavy concentration of transferrin receptors on the placental trophoblastic membranes hungrily attaches the molecules of serum iron that come its way. The mother's bone marrow, responsible for creating her blood cells, soaks up serum iron and draws on the body's pool of stored iron (stored in the bone marrow itself), which in a healthy woman averages 500 mg. It has been estimated that 1,000 mg of iron are required for the demands of normal pregnancy and birth.
However, although we know that pregnancy is an "iron hungry" state, it is a mistake to focus on iron at the expense of other nutrients. Two to three pints of blood and a 7-pound baby, plus a placenta, amniotic fluid and other maternal tissues, requires sustenance. Food. The mother needs regular feedings of protein and all the other essential elements of a balanced diet, including grains, fruits, vegetables and healthy liquids.
Increased growth of blood volume and other maternal tissue is notable from 12 weeks and is in full swing by 20; the greatest nutritional need per day in pregnancy occurs from 20 to 30 weeks. After that, though baby's growth takes off, the increase in maternal tissues is essentially complete. This is fortunate, because by this time the pressure of the growing baby has reduced the capacity of the stomach. It is important that the mother choose foods that are high quality when the amount is limited by mechanical factors. Remind the mother that her baby is growing all the complex tissues of a human body.
Discuss nutrition as early as possible. For those with morning sickness, talk about what they are able to eat, what appeals to them. Be sensitive! Even discussing certain foods can make a woman feel sick.
When the time is right, take a diet history. Discuss categories of food so that she can fill in nutritional gaps with foods she likes. This is difficult with some younger teens, who are still in the "there is no vegetable I like" stage. When you persist without putting them down for their diet, you can usually come up with a core of nutritional food they enjoy. The increasing appetite of the second trimester is on the midwife's side. Women tend to get hungry for the kinds of food they need. Protein is a notable example. Be sure your clients know both what good nutrition is and why it is important. Compression of the stomach by the growing uterus is felt by most women in the second trimester or before. They are hungry, yet they get full rapidly. Eating six small meals a day makes more sense than three larger ones. Talk about budgeting and using a shopping list so that appropriate foods will be on hand.
The increased need for water to build the serum portion of the bloodstream is signaled by increased thirst. Sometimes there is a family member who wants to get scientific and precise about how much water the woman should drink. I tell that person the body has a signal system that tells you when more fluid is needed. The mouth gets dry. A woman who tunes in to her body will drink what she needs in pregnancy, but she may forget on a busy or stressful day. The midwife, by verbalizing the need, makes the woman aware of it and encourages her to fulfill it.
Along with thirst, there may be a hunger for salt as the body creates new blood. Don't discourage this need. Blood is a salty fluid. Salt to taste.
The woman who eats well arrives at delivery with a healthy baby, an expanded blood volume and a substantial store of iron in her bone marrow. Good nutrition is still important after birth, which is often the period between pregnancies. I have seen too many women coming to the same facility for consecutive pregnancies who have a lower hemoglobin and hematocrit each time. This does not have to be true if attention is paid to eating right. Even when the body has been depleted by hemorrhage, proper care and feeding can bring it back to health. It takes a continuing effort. Good health through good nutrition is a lifelong endeavor.

UCLA took advantage of Mississippi State mistakes Monday night and defeated the Bulldogs, 3-1, in Game 1 of the best-of-three College World Series finals in Omaha, Neb.
The Bruins are one win from their first baseball national championship and the school's NCAA-record 109th in a team sport. UCLA can close out the series Tuesday night in Game 2.
MORE CWS: Best images | TV schedule
"We dodged some bullets, no doubt about it, but you have to give credit to our defense.," UCLA coach John Savage said. "Kind of a Bruin game. Tight game, and at the end of the night we were fortunate to come out with the win."
The Bruins wasted no time getting on the board in the first inning.
With one out, Kevin Kramer reached base on a throwing error by Bulldogs catcher Nick Ammirati following a strikeout. He moved to third on a double by Eric Filia and scored on a single to center by Pat Valaika.
"First base runner of the game kind of spells it out," Bulldogs coach John Cohen said. "I really wish that kid hadn't swung at that pitch. I'm not saying it to be a smart aleck, but that kid doesn't swing at that pitch, it lands in front of the plate, I think the ball game could be different. But crazy things happen in sports."
UCLA added to their lead with two unearned runs in the fourth, again aided by an Ammirati error.
After Brenton Allen reached on a single, Brian Carroll attempted to advance him with a sacrifice bunt. Carroll reached safely, and Allen made it to third, after another throwing error by Ammirati. After Kramer struck out, Filia drove home Allen and Carroll with a single to put the Bruins up 3-0.
The Bulldogs answered in the bottom of the inning when C.T. Bradford drew a bases-loaded walk from UCLA starter Adam Plutko following two singles and a hit batsman.
Plutko (10-3) allowed just that run and four hits over six-plus innings. He was relieved by James Kaprielian after allowing a leadoff single in the seventh. Kaprielian (one inning), Zack Weiss (one-third) and David Berg (1 2/3 innings) held the Bulldogs scoreless over the final three innings. Berg earned his NCAA-record 24th save.
"Records are meant to be broken, but titles are what matter," Berg said. "So if we all win a national championship, I'll enjoy that. But right now I don't think about it at all."
Mississippi State starter Trevor Fitts (0-1) lasted 1 1/3 innings before he was relieved by Chad Girodo, who pitched the remainder of the game. Girodo struck out nine and allowed just three hits.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
