BSOD Clean Install Home Premium
Hello! My specs are:
Intel DP35DP
Intel Quad Core 2.4
2g RAM
160 gig westell sata HDD @7200 rpm
SAMSUNG write master dvd drive
We are installing windows 7 home premium 64bit
Everything before the first reboot works smoothly. The installer restarts my computer and the option appears:
Select CD-ROM Boot Type :"
selecting option 1 and letting the "press any key to boot from cd" option time out and selecting option 2 result in the same thing. The Starting Windows screen appears and then seconds after blue screens. My mother board does not support halting a BSOD so I can't get any information from that unless there is a work around that involves not getting into windows.
I currently have XP installed and working fine with this computer on a seperate and now disconnected HD. I've never had any issues with the hardware in the year and a half I had the computer.
I am looking for either a method in which to allow me to halt a BSOD with the DP35DP (im updating the bios after I take a momentary break to chill a bit) or any method to get around the BSOD entirely.
I understand the second option is a shot in the dark but with the wide spread nature of this problem I am hoping someone has found a solution. However with the nature of widespread problems relating to windows it is always easy to find someone with the problem but almost impossible to find someone with the fix.
Thank you for all your help and I will answer any questions I am able to.
EDIT: in the time between starting this post and submitting it I connected my old hard drive back to the computer and everything is working fine. the sata drive is disconnected currently.

Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit)
I just check the Microsoft site to see if your mb was compatible with Win7 64 bit. I was BUT it also said that it needed to download something first.
Here is the link
Put in your MB model and search. You will need to update your biose.
Hope this helps

Can you set your Bios to boot from DVD first ?
Do you have more than 1 monitor connected? dis-connect any un-needed USB devices that you do not need during the initial install.

Thanks for the link. I have the latest bios installed now and Im down to my keyboard and mouse for USB.
Edit: she still blue screens. I'm hoping to check my bios for some kind of error log. Looking kind of grim. I'm not seeing any indication of a log in the bios which records bsod info.
When windows prompts me as to how I would like to continue all options result in a bsod. When I boot in safe mode however when all the drivers are loading it hangs up on disk.sys and then bsods.

Excuse me for asking again: HTML & VP Version Progress?
Hey, there was a bit of a delay so its gonna be a little longer than expected but after the holidays it should be out soon.
Sorry for asking again, but I very like this template and it will be perfect for my Website.
So, HTML/CSS Progress? (and a date? for ex. February, January…, ???)
I'm waiting for a response from the guys converting the theme, however the HTML/CSS version will come out after the WordPress so I would assume later than February.
Any news about the WP version? I won't create it?
Yer sorry, I've been told that it's coming out this month.
Hi! Have you left the project of WP and HTML/CSS version?
Hey, sorry for the delay, I've emailed the team converting it as to why it's been delayed again, I'll get back to you when I know more.

Any progress with WP version yet? Regards, Bernhard
Hey, to be perfectly honest I don't know, I partnered with someone to convert to wordpress but they've been delaying it for months now.
Sad to hear, you would surely have a lot of sales.
Hey, just thought I'd let you know, a very capable developer know has the rights to this theme now and will be creating the wordpress version.

Presentation will call for combination of private capital and public action to power a cleaner energy future
For Immediate Release – August 20, 2013
San Francisco, CA - The American Council On Renewable Energy (ACORE) and Euromoney Energy Events announced that investor and activist Tom Steyer will deliver the keynote address on the opening day of Renewable Energy Finance Forum-West (REFF-West).
"The transformation to a future of secure, clean, affordable energy will come about only with private investment backed by public policy," said Tom Steyer, founder and board chair of the Advanced Energy Economy Institute, the nonprofit educational and charitable affiliate of Advanced Energy Economy, a national business association. "Renewable energy, energy efficiency, energy storage, electric vehicles – these are the building blocks of a cleaner energy future for the United States and the world. The private sector is delivering, but can do so only with the market certainty that comes from consistent government policy. We need to mobilize private capital and public support to create an advanced energy economy."
A successful investment fund manager, Steyer teamed with former Secretary of State George Shultz to defeat California's Proposition 23, an effort in 2010 by out-of-state oil companies to dismantle California's groundbreaking clean energy law. Steyer also chaired the successful Proposition 39 campaign in 2012, through which California voters closed a tax loophole benefitting out-of-state corporations, thereby generating a projected $1 billion in state revenue annually, half of which will be devoted to money-saving energy upgrades in public buildings, primarily schools, in the first five years.
"Tom Steyer is a huge asset for the renewable energy community, not just in financing but in promoting and building real grassroots support for a much more diverse and renewable energy portfolio both in California and throughout the U.S.," said Michael Brower, ACORE's Interim President and CEO. "We are fortunate that Tom will be lending his time and expertise to REFF-West this year. His career thus far is a solid example of what can be done in the renewable energy industry with commitment, ingenuity, and old fashioned hard work. His insights into renewables in general, as well as how to spur finance and profit in the field, will be of great value to the REFF-West attendees."
The 6th annual REFF-West will be held at the Four Seasons Hotel in San Francisco on September 16-17. Programs and speakers' panels will cover the political state of renewable energy, renewable energy in the digital age, the balancing act of natural gas and renewables, U.S. competitiveness in a global marketplace, and many more topics. Over forty speakers are scheduled to address the conference.
"We are at an important time in the renewable energy industry. There is a wealth of opportunities out there for those willing to take some risks and do the important work of delivering renewable power to the marketplace and consumer at a competitive rate," explained Dan Adler, ACORE Board of Directors Co-Chair and Managing Director of the California Clean Energy Fund. "The clear message coming out of REFF-West will be that innovation and investment opportunity wait for no one. With so many different avenues to energy diversity and independence, everyone has a role. We are the energy of the future and that future is much closer than we think."
Before retiring at the end of last year, Steyer founded and was the Senior Managing Member of Farallon Capital Management. He also was a Managing Director and member of the Investment Committee at Hellman & Friedman. Steyer and his wife, Kat Taylor, joined Warren Buffett, Bill and Melinda Gates and other high-wealth Americans in the "Giving Pledge," a promise to donate the majority of their wealth to charitable and nonprofit activities during their lifetimes. At Stanford University, Steyer serves on the Board of Trustees as Vice-Chair, and three years ago he and Taylor founded two renewable energy research institutions there: the TomKat Center for Sustainable Energy and the Steyer-Taylor Center for Energy Policy and Finance. Steyer served as a delegate to the Democratic National Conventions in 2004 and 2008 and is a board member of the Center for American Progress. He graduated Summa Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Yale and received his MBA from Stanford's Graduate School of Business.

Florida Senator Bill Nelson was expected to talk Friday about a scam involving some elderly people in South Florida, who claim they are losing large sums of money in a Jamaica-based lottery scam.
The majority of victims reported have been South and central Florida residents who receive aggressive and sometimes threatening phone calls by scam artists who promise huge foreign lottery winnings.
SoFla Lotto Scam Targets Elderly
Nelson will meet with officials and a local financial planner, who are in the process of defending victims of the scam.
"It's despicable that these crooks are preying on our most vulnerable seniors who sometimes have difficulty remembering important details," said Nelson in an email statement.
Scam Victim Loses $370,000 But Wants to Keep Giving
Other states have been affected, but postal inspectors say Florida is getting hit particularly hard because of its large senior population and proximity to Jamaica.
Suspected Scammer: "I'll Take Old Lady's Cash"
A hearing will be held March 13 in Washington D.C. to investigate the effect the scam is having on the elderly.

Concerning the Recent Merger of SurveySpot and Opinion Outpost
History of the Merger
On July 7, 2011, Survey Sampling International and Opinionology received approval to unite under the SSI brand, bringing together two global leaders with over 50 years of experience, 30 offices around the world, respondents from 72 countries and a staff fluent in 36 languages. What does this mean to the average survey taker?
The first hint of the change was noticed on July 26th, 2011, when Opinion Outpost posted a "System Maintenance!" notice at the same time that SurveySpot was having problems with log-ins.
On October 15, 2011 Opinion Outpost sent out this email:
Exciting News! Pay Pal comes to Town! At Opinion Outpost plus other upcoming new exciting changes to the website and new rewards! Outpost will be down for maintenance Oct. 17.
After the Opinion Outpost site update, the new site looked nearly identical to the SurveySpot previously existing site, save for some color differences.
Changes and Problems After the Merger
After some initial problems, including site errors and sending out tax forms to a lot of people who had not earned over $600 in combined income from SurveySpot and Opinion Outpost during the fiscal year, SSI eventually ironed out the problems and several things changed, some for the better, some not so good. The best thing was that Opinion Outpost now has PayPal and you can cash-out as soon as you reach 100 points ($10), which is promptly sent to your PayPal account, usually in just a few hours.
The worst thing is that now the surveys on both SurveySpot and Opinion Outpost are essentially the same, but Opinion Outpost clearly pays more for the same survey, making SurveySpot somewhat redundant except for email invitations with specific points attached, such as the beer diary which pays 300 points ($3) every other week for several months and the occasional Invoke Interactive.
I completed an Invoke with SurveySpot for 2000 points ($20) on November 17, 2011 and another for 3500 points ($35) on January 18, 2012. SurveySpot still requires you to cash out with 1000 points ($10), but also has PayPal.
I am also disappointed in Opinion Outpost for adding so many $1 (and less) surveys through OTX Research (Online Testing Exchange) and Opinion Sphere. I will frequently click on an email link for a 20-point ($2) or 30-point ($3) survey and quickly get redirected to a $1 survey from OTX Research (Online Testing Exchange) or Opinion Sphere. Very few of those 10-point ($1) surveys are less than 20 minutes in length and some are longer, particularly considering the lengthy and redundant screeners.
It's probably best, time-wise, to just hit the "No, I'm Done" button and hope for a better survey or at least a chance to win the Instant Win game (Opinion Outpost only). I always hit "No Thanks" at the end of every survey to maximize my chances at winning the Instant Win game. I have won 20 points ($2) three times and 10 points ($1) once since the merger. I find that I win about once out of every 200 times I click "No Thanks", but I did win 20 points ($2) twice in a row recently. I have also completed one Invoke with OpinionOutpost for 1000 points ($10) on January 9, 2012. I currently have 177 Prize Draws for the Prize Draw period that ends: 3/31/2012, but so far, that statistic is meaningless for me.
My Earnings Since the Merger
1. Opinion Outpost $1335.40 (100 points = $10 minimum pay out) (Joined: 2008-02-04) (PayPal) (Invokes) (product tests) [Last payment: 2/9/2012] Monthly Average = $25.82 Currently, I have 180 points ($18) with Opinion Outpost and it still ranks #1 in earnings.
4. SurveySpot $839 (1000 = $50 po) (2008-01-30) (PayPal) (Invokes) (product tests) [1-20-12] Monthly Average = $16.79 I have 1650 points ($16.50) with SurveySpot currently and it has actually climbed from #7 to #4 on my Top Ten list of highest paid survey panels since the merger was announced in July, but is holding steady for now.
Here is a breakdown of the surveys I took from Opinion Outpost from Oct. 21 through Dec. 2, 2011 to give you an idea of the points spread immediately after the merger:
|Percentage of Earnings
My first cash-out via PayPal of $50 after Opinion Outpost merged with SurveySpot on October 21, 2011 took from October 27, 2011 until November 22, 2011 (26 days). My second $50 PayPal cash-out took from November 22, 2011 until January 13, 2012 (52 days). My third PayPal cash-out of $53 took from January 13, 2012 until February 9, 2012 (27 days). I think that is pretty good.
Tips and Advice for SurveySpot and OpinionOutpost
- If you're cashing out with PayPal, you sometimes have to try a few times so just log in and repeat. After two or three times, the money will be in your account.
- If you get to the end of the survey and get a blank page reading 'false' just click on the html bar and hit 'Enter'. It will reload and send you to the ending page where you can complete your survey and get your reward.
- Don't try to take surveys from SurveySpot and OpinionOutpost in separate tabs of the same browser window simultaneously, as the SurveySpot tab will just revert back to OpinionOutpost.
- If you are having problems with your account call the toll-free number: 1.877.254.1234 (Opinion Outpost) or 1.866.360.9575 (SurveySpot). Do not leave a message if you don't get through as they are unlikely to return your call. If you are redirected to the recording about leaving a message, hang up and call back later. I have never had to do this more than 3 or 4 times before I got through to a live person. They can actually help. They will pull up your account and tell you exactly what you need to do to get your account problems resolved.
For SurveySpot use the "Submit A Question" button on the General FAQ page. Or call 1.866.360.9575. For OpinionOutpost, use the "Submit A Question" button on the General FAQ page. Or call 1.877.254.1234.
If anyone else has any impressions on the SurveySpot-OpinionOutpost merger, I would really like to hear them. If you have tips about taking surveys with SurveySpot or OpinionOutpost, please post those as well. Thanks.

Alicia November 13, 2015 ReplyI can't do any surveys because there is an alert about fake checks on my opinion outpost page I have never received any checks so could you please take it off
Micheal Dunk March 21, 2012 ReplyThis is great! An associate shared this with me this morning on Facebook. Impressive.
Rotceh March 15, 2012 ReplyThis is my favorite survey site. Still, I'm finding that a lot of their surveys have me answer at least a dozen questions and then say I don't qualify, which can be frustrating. Looking at my history, I've only actually qualified for a handful out of all the surveys I attempted. I've made about $13 and been with them since last summer.
Agbenyo March 13, 2012 ReplyHi everyone. For what it's worth, I have done many sruveys, usually for points redeemable for merchandise. My accrued points at several sites are in the range of $60 to $100 values. I have not yet redeemed any. One site I have $80 in cash which I also have not redeemed.However, in addition to periodically receiving checks worth $1 to $10 from various sites, I have also won one $100 prize they sent a check a couple of months ago. This was from the monthly drawing where there is one $1,000 prize, a couple of $100 and a bunch of $10s. Some sites pay via PayPal, too.Finally, I have received many, many products to test. I currently am using a body wash product and am expecting boxer shorts for my son any day! I have received air fresheners, shampoo and food products from chipssalsa to pudding to cereal. In addition to all the products, some of these also pay up to $10 for returning the sruveys.Is it worth it? Depends on the value of your time. Sometimes I skip the sruveys when I don't have time. Also, I have noticed the the sruveys that say Earn $X in the subject line often have extensive pre-screening questions for which I am rarely eligible.Sorry this is long, but really, there are some honest sites and sometimes even when there's no payment the sruveys are interesting.
LapisLee March 14, 2012 ReplyYour experiences are very similar to mine. I once won $500 from IPSOS-ISAY and an Apple Macbook and Apple iPod Touch from a Capitol One forum that paid me $20 per month in Amazon gift cards to discuss credit cards.
Jai March 12, 2012 Reply1.) Since the merger, they opinion outpost now has more redirecting errors and I find that there is always more survey problems now. I am also tired both of these companies trying to pass off prize draw entry's as real quality rewards. OO were so much better before merging. That goes Mysurvey.com too. Both Opinion outpost and Mysurvey.com were much better before merging ith other companies and now they much worse. I mean one can make some money but, the quality of their survey sites are worst now. And People are actually okay with this.
2.) Question though: When is there a good reason to keep a lot of money in your account and how much should you keep in your account?
LapisLee March 13, 2012 ReplyFourth cash-out of $50 from OpinionOutpost took from February 9, 2012 until March 9, 2012. That's just 29 days.
@Jai: It varies for different panels, but for the most legitimate highest-earning panels like OpinionOutpost, GTM and SurveySpot, I like to cash out with a nice round $50.
Jai March 16, 2012 ReplyThanks, That probably make s a more sense. I just like have a bunch of money in my account already. That way, I can cash out 50 or 75 with more than enough to spare. So, I try to stay way above the required amount to cash out. I call it "Making the minimum Zero". Then I heard it was smarter cash out quickly on every site. So, figured I would get some advice.
Hannah March 16, 2012 ReplyJai- we liked your question so much, we wrote an entire blog post about it. You can see it here:
Hope this helps!
LapisLee February 29, 2012 ReplyThanks Walter. When I first started out in January 2008, I would often spend 6-8 hours per day working late into the night. Now I start on my surveys right before lunch (11am), work for a couple hours, take a lunch break, then work some more until the high-paying surveys are all gone, about five hours. I always stop for the day around 5pm now unless I have a high-paying Invoke Interactive.
Pickle February 29, 2012 ReplyI had some slight issues with Opinion Outpost during their merger, but in the last month, everything has worked perfect and smoothly. Since the beginning of February, I've cashed out for $79.50. I always try to cash out as early as I can, so I'm glad the minimum requirement is only $10. I can usually reach that $10 cashout point in 3-5 days of doing surveys. The best I've done was $17.50 in a single day.
Walter Brady February 29, 2012 ReplyMr. Lee great blog post. I can definitely call you a great survey taker. The merger with opinion outpost did hurt a lot of people earnings. I have to buckle down and start taking the surveys for OO. Mr.Lee making the money you do with surveys how much time do you expend a day with the different survey panels?
LapisLee February 29, 2012 ReplyIt took me 26 days to reach $50 from the start of the merger (Oct. 21), then 52 days, then 27 days. It's only been 14 days since my last cash-out on February 9 and I am already up to 330 points ($33). I usually cash out at $50.
Roc Harris February 29, 2012 ReplyI updated my profile ill see if im getting surveys thanks guys
Roc Harris February 28, 2012 ReplyI havent been receiving alot of surveys from opinion outpost ever since february is anybody having the same problem.
LapisLee February 28, 2012 ReplyYou now have to go to the Opinion Outpost website and click "Take a Survey" until they run out, at which point they ask you to complete your profile.
Hannah February 29, 2012 ReplyI've been getting a TON of emails from OpinionOutpost, unfortunately most are just a generic "take a survey" (which direct you to the same place you'd go if you clicked the "Take a Survey" button while logged in). Some have been for actual surveys with point values, but I've been having difficulties qualifying/finishing for many this month.
You might want to just check and update your profiles, which you can do by logging in to Opinion Outpost and clicking the "Edit Profile" link on the left-hand bar. You'll see a date next to most of them showing when you last updated it. If your profiles are older (especially if they are more than 6 months), it often affects the number and quality of surveys you receive. Try updating those and it might help.
You might also just want to log in and take surveys at your own pace (by clicking the "Take a Survey" link). This will give you more opportunities for surveys.
LapisLee February 24, 2012 ReplyAlthough there were a lot of problems during the merger I am actually pleased when survey panels are consolidated because it's less effort required on my part and I still maintain an average of nearly $200 per month from my best survey panels so I don't think I am suffering any in that department so far.
Kim February 24, 2012 ReplyI'm finding it very frustrating how many 5 point surveys I'm getting from OO. Most will last longer that the specified time. I haven't seen very many 20 point surveys since the merge and their 15 minute 10 point surveys are usually longer than 15 minutes. I like the paypal redemption and have to say that is probably the one good thing since the change. Too bad since I really liked OO.
Hannah February 24, 2012 ReplyI think the interesting thing about the merger is that they didn't seem to take into account the fact that they might have people with accounts in both places.
I also noticed that occasionally I would be able to take the exact same survey (survey number matched identically) from either SurveySpot or Opinion Outpost, and OO offered TWICE the pay for the same survey.
I ran into a couple issues where they sent me a survey from SurveySpot, but credited the points to OpinionOutpost, and another issue where a product test from Opinion Outpost had a follow-up survey from SurveySpot. The follow up survey was SUPPOSED to pay a certain amount, but since it was sent from SurveySpot instead of Opinion Outpost, they only paid me HALF of what I was supposed to get.
This has definitely made for a lot of frustration, and their support departments were not set up to be able to help when something affected both panels like that. I actually ended up contacting the main SSI office and getting someone there to pay attention to the issue.
Needless to say, I've stopped taking SS surveys other than large point value email invitations and have focused on OO instead. I'm actually planning on closing my SurveySpot account as soon as I cash out, as I'm very tired of dealing with the problems of having accounts with both places.

This Pritzker Prize-winning architect recently turned the Basque backwater of Bilbao into a household name with his miraculous, titanium-wrapped structure for the Guggenheim Museums most ambitious outpost. Gehry has been on the faculty at Harvard and Yale, and is a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects. Mr. Gehry has been the subject of several exhibitions, including a recent retrospective at New Yorks Guggenheim Museum. For Knoll, he created the bentwood furniture collection in 1989. Inspired by the surprising strength of the apple crates he played on as a child, Frank Gehry created this thoroughly original collection of bentwood chairs and tables. The ribbon-like designs are enduring structures intersecting form with function.

Widow and retired postmistress Una Crown, 86, was found dead in her bungalow in Magazine Lane, Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, on Sunday morning.
Police believe the suspect set fire to her body after killing her in an attempt to hide her injuries and destroy evidence - one possibility is that Mrs Crown was killed after a suspect broke into the house.
A post-mortem examination confirmed that Mrs Crown, who had no children and lived alone, died from stab wounds to her neck and chest.
"We were made aware of the discovery of a knife in a street near to Magazine Lane this morning," said Detective Chief Inspector Jon Hutchinson.
"The knife has been seized and we will be carrying out tests to see if it has any link to Mrs Crown's murder. It is still very early and we are keeping an open mind as to the relevance of this discovery.
"We are continuing with searches of the area around Magazine Lane and house-to-house enquiries are ongoing."
Officers will be stopping motorists, cyclists and walkers in the area over the weekend asking people whether they remember seeing anything suspicious last weekend."
Mr Hutchinson added: "We hope to jog people's memories and would urge people to think back to what they were doing last weekend. Were you in the area of Magazine Lane? Did you see anyone acting suspiciously?
"Any information could prove to be vital in catching whoever is responsible for this terrible crime."
Mrs Crown's husband, Jack Roland Crown, died on Boxing Day 2009. The couple had been married for 60 years.
Anyone with any information should call the major crime unit on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.

JACKSON (AP) – Mississippi Republican Sens. Thad Cochran and Roger Wicker are co-sponsors of bill that would require most states to recognize permits other states issue that allow people to carry concealed firearms.
A similar GOP-led effort died in the Senate in 2013. Wicker and Cochran supported the bill last year.
While extending concealed carry privileges, the legislation recognizes state's rights and does not provide for a national concealed carry permit.
"Second amendment rights shouldn't stop at the state line," Cochran said in a news release Tuesday. "It makes sense to allow law-abiding gun owners to take their concealed permit privileges with them to states that also allow conceal carry permits."
The bill's lead author is Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas. The bill has been sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
"This legislation would ensure this right is not limited to the state where the concealed carry permit was issued," Wicker said. "It responsibly grants legal gun owners the same freedom in states with concealed carry laws."
Opponents have argued the plan would let people from states with loose requirements for the permits bring weapons into states with tougher standards.
Gun rights advocates argue people with such permits should be able to carry concealed weapons elsewhere.

More children born to unwed women than to married ones
More babies in Scotland are born to unmarried mothers than to married women for the first time since records began, according to Census returns.
The statistic emerged among a blizzard of others which showed that more people live in the country than ever before, almost certainly because of an unprecedented wave of immigration from Eastern Europe.
The first official returns from the 2011 Census show that the population Scottish hit a new peak of 5,295 million, a 5 per cent rise over the past ten years. With the number of births estimated to outnumber deaths by only a few hundred, immigration is responsible for the bulk of the 233,000 rise over ten years.
However, the most extraordinary social change is revealed in a single line…

Where are the niche online communities in 2012? The same place they've always been..
So here we are in 2012 and straight into that time of the year in which the experts start to predict and inform us where the social media industry is heading in the next 12 months. Everyone can play this game and have a stab at predictions, and some are interesting, some are exciting, some are provocative, others are mis-guided at best. It's for each reader to decide what they agree or disagree with, and that's great, but one 'prediction' has got stuck in my craw more than the others this year, primarily for its appearance in these predictions every year; the rise of the niche social network.
The argument put forth is that now that social media marketing is more and more ubiquitous for businesses, marketers need to start thinking beyond the big players; Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+ (included solely in my opinion for its potential SEO clout). Year-after-year a host of new pretenders are trotted out that aim to take people away from Facebook, and expect them to join their niche community and manage all their niche social interactions and interests in that specific space. These new social networks, we're told, will mean businesses need to branch out away from the Facebooks, to wherever their customers actually spend their time online.
First of all, when has this ever not been the case? Regardless of what sites are available online, if you're marketing on the Internet, you need to know where your audience are and go to them. However it is still the case that in the majority of instances, Facebook and Twitter are where your customers are – it's where everyone is, look at their member numbers. (LinkedIn of course comes into the equation for B2B companies).
The fact is, those communities have the superior numbers over everyone else, so more often than not, they will still be where you need to have a presence. For me, smaller social networks that base their model on Facebook will just fail, we have too many profiles, too many 'about me' forms to fill in, who can really be bothered with maintaining any more?
Businesses need to go where the audience is for sure, but that won't be to new social networks. In all the many social media listening reports and audits I've worked on, the main source of conversation when you exclude Twitter, Facebook & LinkedIn, 9 times out of 10, is forums. This is where your niche audience is. Forums are where you'll find the insight into your specific area. It's been this way for years, and no new social network is going to lure these established communities away. Forums will always win out over niche social networks.
Why? Because they're easy. On a forum, you simply add a username and away you go. Social media is about conversing and debating, sharing opinions and ideas. All you need for that at a basic fundamental level is the ability to enter text and respond. Everything else social networks provide us is secondary; the pictures of you out partying with your friends, the GPS update that proudly displays the fancy restaurant you're currently being ripped off in, the monotonous farming game you that devours your time. Yes these things are popular and have become part of the social media experience, but they make up your overall general online social profile, which for most people is a slightly imagined version of themselves, and for most people it exists on Facebook. I don't need to fully reimagine and create a new social 'me' every time I want to talk about football, or cooking, or being a parent. I'll add a name, and start typing instead.
I'm going to use Football as an example of splinter niche social networks and why they won't work. I've naively been excited in the past about new football social networks for football fans to hang out, talk football, post videos, etc – all that stuff you do on Facebook, only centred around football – a topic that every football fan loves to debate ad-nauseum, and who everyone is constantly vying to be seen as the expert. But these networks become boring quicker than a post-match press conference; because there's no one there. Where are all the opinionated football fans to talk to? They're on forums and blog comments. This is where the real debate happens, and every football fan online knows it. You can't change it, try as you might.
The problem with this for marketers of course is that forums are notoriously difficult to engage in. If you're not creating a presence there that will participate as an equal, and genuinely add insight and value, all the while making sure your sales pitch remains a million miles away, then you're doomed. You could easily end up doing more harm than good. However forums are invaluable to the social media listening phase. Forums are the real goldmine for people talking about your niche business. Facebook, Twitter et al have the most static noise, Forums usually have the frequency you'll want to tune in to.
But I should probably clarify slightly before I go; if there's a social network out there that specifically caters for the niche community you're looking to market to, if it has a vibrant, active community and loyal members, then that's perfect, and participation is essential. My argument is with the ever-present prediction that these types of smaller networks will become social media game changers, they won't. I'd almost go as far as to say nothing can stop Facebook, but I don't think I'll go that far..
So to finish off, put myself on record and most likely set myself up for a large helping of humble pie later in the year – I predict niche social networks will not flourish in 2012, but I do predict they'll be predicted to do so in 2013 this time next year.

OnePlus 5T review: Hands-on
Help needed with changing from itunes 32 bit to itunes 64 bit for new desktop
Hello and good morning to u all. I have 2 very, very important questions that i NEED to be kindly answered for me pls.
In about 7 days time i'll be taking a delivery of a new windows 7 64 bit desktop machine from mesh. I currently have a 5 yr old windows XP 32 bit machine. All my itunes music is currently stored on my 1tb external hard drive,..and i know how to transfer my music to new desktop..thats fine, but HERE is the problem. I have painstakingly made over 100 playlists on my current xp desktop which is with itunes 32 bit. I know that when I get my new desktop which will be 64 bit,...then i should download the 64 bit version of itunes....but I NEED to be able to import ALL MY PLAYLISTS FROM MY OLD DESKTOP TO THE NEW DESKTOP. How can i do this please without ANY problems??
my second question is this: Currently when i purchase music, in my viewing options I also have the date added box.....and my itunes library is in date added format....so my most recent music is ALWAYS be at the top of my library, this just makes it easier for me to look for stuff. I'm VERY concerned whether this will be the case when i get the new desktop and import my library from my hard drive...whether it will import ALL my music as just 1 date...or whether it will still distinguish ALL my music for me when i use the date added field again......which is what i want to happen!!!
As much help for BOTH questions would be much appreciated as my music is the most important thing to me on my desktop!!! many thanks Jules
Don't worry about 32/64 bit all you need to do is transfer the iTunes library to the new machine Click Here
Hello guys, and good evening to u all. I put the problem I have on ilounge....and hers is the advice that someone gave to me. Below is the link:
Okay....i'm having problems understanding what to do with some of this procedure...so i'm hoping to get some help here, I cant seem to log back into the ilounge website for some strange reason anyway, lol.
The main reason that i keep coming back to my post is that I MUST get it right first time!!! Okay firstly ALL my itunes music mp3 files are stored on my external hard drive E:(not the desktop hard drive) So as prev stated above under advanced tab in itunes, my itunes media location is E:\ ive ticked the keep itunes media folder organised. ive ticked the copy files to itunes media location when adding to library.
From the link above(pls read ALL).....in paragraph 3,....s2_mac mentions that that I need when I connect my external drive E, to my new desktop PC, and MAKE SURE THAT IT HAS THE SAME DRIVE LETTER ON THE NEW MACHINE THAT IT HAD ON THE XP MACHINE,...and he emphasized that this is critical!!!! Now i'm a bit confused about HOW to get my new desktop pc to recognize my external hard drive as only E: drive when it is attached., and he said to use computer management to PERMANENTLY ASSIGN that drive to the external drive E. I read about how to do this online, and it seems to be fraught with various problems.
So any help would be much appreciated pls....if u look at the first post u will see that the reason that i'm doing this in first place, is to keep ALL my over 100 playlists, and keep my library in date added format hence my latest music is always at top and the dates go down in descending order.
I've noticed that ive had a few views...but not that may posts..as much help as possible will be appreciated pls. If you read the link from ilounge then you will understand my dillemma.
I DO not want to start doing all my playlists, etc from scrathc, as thats over 2 years of hard work down the train!!!! So this assigning my external drive E: to my new desktop drive E: is of the utmost importance. thanks.
This thread is now locked and can not be replied to.

Awesome boots
I have purchased these boots for kayaking. The are great and of a high quality. I would recommend them to everyone. The only small issue that I have is that I would order the next size larger. The fit tight when you order the exact size you normally wear.
Great boots.

Integrating offshore mariculture and renewable energy
The first presentation of day two of the 2014 Offshore Mariculture Conference was delivered by Neil Sims, president of the Ocean Stewards Institute and CEO of Kampachi Farms, who presented his paper on water quality monitoring via telephone from Hawaii.
He gave delegates an outline of the Ocean Stewards Institute's white paper on water quality monitoring and the available science on water quality impacts around open ocean mariculture sites. He made the point that "fearmongering", mainly by NGOs badly affects the public's perception of aquaculture.
Benen Dallaghan gave an interesting presentation on an organic salmon farming project in Galway Bay. Benen is responsible for GIS at BIM (Irish Sea Fisheries Board) and he explained to delegates the use of GIS as part of the site selection process for the proposed farm.
M. E. J. Zorriehzahra presented on the Viral Nervous Necrosis disease as a new threat in the aquatic ecosystem in the Caspian Sea.
Yngvar Olesen discussed how feed supplies can be produced for an expanding aquaculture industry in the future. In his concluding remarks he noted that it is likely to be the industrial biotechnology companies that will produce the feed resources in 2040, and that the feed companies will likely continue to develop and optimise feed formulation. He also asked the question, will biotechnological companies take over feed producers, or will it be the opposite?
Juan Antonio Gonzalez from Skretting Southern Europe looked at lowering productions costs, with optimising feeding as a way of addressing this challenge; and Stephen Page discussed hydraulic feeding (feed mixed with water), the challenges involved and the next steps to be taken in this area.
The afternoon session featured several speakers involved in renewable 'blue' energy. The interesting concept of multi-use platforms, and preliminary project results were presented, and research into Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) was also discussed. There is clearly great potential for integrating offshore mariculture and renewable energy in the future.
The final presentations gave an insight into the application of modern netting materials in offshore cages, and a case study on the Gaeta fish farm and a video of the farm in operation. These final two presentations were given by Darko Lisac from Refa Med Italy, and Alessandro Galioto from Azienda Ittica San Giorgio srl, respectively.
Finally, the conference was closed by Marianne Rasmussen-Coulling who announced that plans are already being made for the Offshore Mariculture Conference 2015. Initial plans are for the event to be held in Mexico in June.
The third day will see the majority of the delegates visiting the Italian P2G fish farm to see a working fish farm in operation.

Photographer's Note
The windmill here is quite young,-buildt
in 1969 to regulate the waterlevel in a
pond.So it is actually a pump and not a mill.
The type is a "Friese spinnekopwindmolen",-
a Friesland spider-windmill.

cmarino (2490) 2005-11-10 5:06
Hello, Hermmann !
Another nice shot of yours ! Sharp image in a very good low angle perspective. I think that most of the windmills are pumps, aren't they ? The amazing thing here is the date of buildind... I didn't know they still built these device in the recent decades.
I was in Holland last week and could make some interesting pictures of the windmills too. So far I've posted one. Have a look if you have the chance.
Best regards !
oochappan (13051) 2005-11-10 5:16
Leuk dit voorgond idee met het groen, Herman, een zonnige heldere foto met een mooi gradiant blauwe lucht, en mooi sherp deze typische Friesse molen, goed shot.
papagolf21 (118549) 2005-11-10 5:56
Bonjour Hermann,
Un moulin à vent qui a pour rôle de pompe ! Très intéressant, décidément, l'on apprend beaucoup sur ces fameux moulins. J'aime la composition où le moulin se niche dans un écrin de verdure. Excellent cadrage.
jhm (167678) 2005-11-10 12:38
Hoi Hermann,
Een type molen dat men hier niet zien in Vlaanderen, maar ik vind de groen op de voorgrond een mooie aanvulling op de schitterende molen in de achtergrond. De wieken staan mooi centraal te bekijken, opnieuw een zachte foto.
Groeten uit Vlaanderen,
nwoehnl (122) 2005-11-10 15:30
A simple but well-made framing for this windmill behind the weeds, Hermann. Good low perspective resulting in a nice play with proportions and textures.
Tue (49634) 2005-11-10 17:06
Hej Hermann,
Good picture of this nice mill, you shot it from a good POV. I also like the plants in front, it creates a nice little frame too. Well captured.
elihesamian (26149) 2005-11-10 18:42
Hi Hermann,
A very nice windmill shot,with great used of foliages in foreground,excellent light controlling you did,great result you show us,beautiful and nice,excellent sharpness,too,I like it,specialy the gradiant colors of the sky,nicely done,
Emile (20352) 2005-11-11 1:10
Hola Hermann.
Nice contrast the thicket as a frame in the foreground and the windmill in the back. Good perspective and POV. Good lighting and sharpness. Good DOF.
Very well done.
huynt (5079) 2005-11-11 1:46
Hi Hermann
A wonderful shot. Well done. Thanks
ChrisJ (126607) 2005-11-11 3:54
Hi Hermann
I like the graphism of the windmill blades against the lighter sky. Excellent lighting, sharpness, & color. Good work!
weswang (18223) 2005-11-11 10:55
Hi Hermann, I like this beautiful contrast and well framed picture. Nice composition and well show the depth by using the frame in the front. It makes a feeling of walking with you together for the picture. I enjoy it.
KevRyan (22956) 2005-11-11 17:41
I really like the play with scale here Hermann as your title suggests - I didn't realise windmills were still built (even if it is a pump) - very nicely framed!
The low perspective works exceptionally well.
best wishes Kev
john_c (24666) 2005-11-12 12:00
Hi Hermann,
A well composed shot of this young windmill. I didn't realize that the mills had categories like "spider." Your framing with the foliage in the foreground is enhancing. The slice of distant field and trees give a good perspective. Great clarity of image here. Well captured.

It is always difficult, to me, to shoot through things ike grass and shrubbery, but this image works nicely. The windmill is in a strong position, and the foreground elements add interest and texture.

Hi Hermann,
I jumped this one and now my critique to this nice enquadrement of this beautiful windmill in the garden. Fine low angle giving dimension and proportion. Good light, colors and a fine sharpness. Good enquadrement of the elements and a good work.
Well see and well done. My congratulations and best regards.

Good evening hermann!
Nice angle of this capture. Beautiful composition with good contrast and between the mill and the blue sky. The note as usual very interesting.Very well done

BASEL, Switzerland, Feb 3 (Reuters) - ChemChina is fielding requests from prospective investors to take an equity stake in either Syngenta or ChemChina to refinance the bridge loans for the Chinese state-owned company's planned $43 billion takeover of Syngenta.
"There are many capital funds and banks which are very interested in engaging with us in this investment opportunity," ChemChina Chairman Ren Jianxin told a press conference in Basel, Switzerland on Wednesday, in remarks translated from Chinese into English.
He added the refinancing of the transactions may include equity investors. Members of the future funding consortium would be selected in close coordination with Syngenta's top executives, such as Chairman Michel Demare and Chief Executive John Ramsay, he said.
"They can either invest in ChemChina or into the transaction," Ren added.
The initial funding was supplied by a Chinese commercial bank and an international lender, Syngenta Chairman Demare said, without providing the names. (Reporting by Ludwig Burger; Editing by Christoph Steitz)

Computer users can begin storing a minimum of one-third of their content on cloud services by 2016, analysis firm Gartner has said. Only seven per cent content was stored within the cloud in 2011, the corporate said in an exceedingly report, adding that this range was possible to grow to thirty six per cent by 2016. Cloud computing, that is Internet-based, facilitates sharing of technological resources, software and digital info. This rising field functions on a pay-per-use model, serving to technology corporations to bring down value.
Market analysis and analysis firm IDC has estimated that IT cloud services helped businesses round the world generate quite $600 billion in revenue and one.5 million new jobs in 2011. per its study, quite fifty per cent of the fourteen million jobs would be generated within the tiny and medium businesses.
Earlier this year, Microsoft had said that with an increasing range of corporations adopting cloud computing, over 2 million jobs were expected to be created in India by 2015.
It's the five facts from the Gartner report :-
1. Gartner predicts that worldwide client digital storage desires can grow from 329 exabytes in 2011 to four.1 zettabytes in 2016. This includes digital content stored in PCs, smartphones, tablets, hard-disk drives (HDDs), network connected storage (NAS) and cloud repositories. (1 exabyte is one0^18 bytes; 1 zettabyte is 10^21 bytes.)
2. Average storage per household can grow from 464 gigabytes in 2011 to three.3 terabytes in 2016, Gartner says, adding that the adoption of camera-equipped tablets and smartphones can drive shopper storage wants.
3. A majority of this growth can return from North America and Western Europe. within the Asia/Pacific region, Japan and South Korea can witness the very best growth in cloud storage, Gartner says.
4. The bulk of the cloud storage desires of shoppers within the close to term are going to be met by social media sites like Facebook, which provide free space for storing for uploading photos and videos for social sharing, says Gartner.
5. On-premises storage can stay the most repository of shopper digital content, though Gartner predicts that its share can progressively drop from ninety three per cent in 2011 to sixty four per cent in 2016 because the direct-to-cloud model becomes a lot of mainstream.

Ever want to turn an annoying billboard into a sliced-up mess? Here's how.
Some urban artists fight against the proliferation of public advertising with paint, stickers, even industrial solvents. Those tactics don't go far enough for the French trickster known as "Farewell": He wants billboards so utterly destroyed that they look like they made several laps through an office shredder.
And he's devised the perfect tool to do so – a strip of wood studded with razor blades so that it resembles those tire-popping strips at high-security installations:
While one of these weapons could do significant damage to a billboard just by swishing it around, "Farewell" has devised a safer method (both for his skin and chances of winding up in jail). First he finds the kind of mechanical billboard that regularly scrolls to display different ads. Then he sticks the blade-board inside to wreak havoc, to the confusion or delight of people passing by.
The artist conducted this hack sometime in 2013 but released the footage this spring. Call it a step in the right direction away from his more annoying interventions, such as locking a bunch of commuters inside a Parisian subway car for the sake of art:

Parting Tweet: Justin Bieber's Thoughts On Abortion Releases Media Meta-Storm
Here's a bit of media clusterfuckery for you: Brooke Alvarez is the name of a fictional reporter on the Onion News Network, The Onion's new satirical IFC series, and here "she's" weighing in on the latest controversy du jour. Justin Bieber covers the new issue of Rolling Stone, and in his interview was asked about his views on sex before marriage (only if you're in love) and abortion (vehemently anti-choice even possibly in cases of rape).The general tone around the Internet today has been one of incredulous disgust that Rolling Stone would ask a 16-year-old to weigh in on a national human rights issue. "Brooke's" tweet sums up the sentiment shared by many in pitch-perfect Onion style.

Back to Cases
Case date: 19/10/2016
Court: Supreme Court
Area/s of law: Confidence
In 2012, The Times published two articles on the subject of film schemes and tax avoidance. The articles contained information from an interview, agreed to be "off the record", disclosed to journalists by HMRC's Permanent Secretary of Tax, including the name and tax activities of Mr McKenna, founder and CEO of Ingenious Media Holdings Plc and its subsidiaries ("Ingenious Media").
Ingenious Media and McKenna brought an application for judicial review of the decision to disclose the information on the ground, inter alia, that it breached s.18(1) of the Commissioners for Revenue and Customs Act 2005 (the "Act"), which provides that HMRC officials may not disclose information they hold in connection with HMRC functions. S.18(2) lists exceptions to the prohibition on disclosure, including disclosures made "for the purposes of a function of the Revenue and Customs": s.18(2)(a)(i).
At first instance, Sales J held that the Court could only intervene if satisfied that the Permanent Secretary could not rationally have taken the view that speaking to the journalists would assist HMRC in the exercise of its tax collection functions (and he held that the disclosures were not irrational). The Court of Appeal upheld this decision, and the Claimants appealed to the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court unanimously upheld the Claimants' appeal. It held that the information disclosed to the journalists was information of a confidential nature, in respect of which HMRC owed a duty of confidentiality to the Claimants under s.18(1) of the Act, and that the disclosure was not justified under s.18(2)(a)(i).
Key points
Lord Toulson, giving the Court's judgment, stated that the claim was, in substance, a straightforward claim for breach of a duty of confidentiality by HMRC: [14].
It was a well-established principle of the law of confidentiality that where information of a personal or confidential nature is obtained or received in the exercise of a legal power or in furtherance of a public duty, the recipient will in general owe a duty to the person from whom it was received or to whom it relates not to use it for other purposes. HMRC was entitled to receive and hold confidential information about individuals' financial affairs to assess and collect (or make) tax payments: [17]. This duty was reflected in s.18(1) of the Act: [23].
The statutory exception in s.18(2)(a)(i) was to be interpreted narrowly. To construe it in the wide way contended for by HMRC would (1) render a number of the other listed exceptions otiose; and (2) allow "words of the utmost vagueness" to significantly erode the protection afforded by HMRC's duty of confidentiality: [19]. The Court made clear that "the more general the words, the harder it is likely to be" to rebut the presumption that Parliament intended that statutory provisions should be construed as subject to the basic rights of the individual: [20]. Parliament cannot have intended that by enacting s.18(2)(a)(i) it was authorising HMRC officials to discuss individual taxpayers in "off the record" discussions for collateral purposes such as developing HMRC's relations with the press: [22].
The exception in s.18(2)(a)(i) permitted disclosure "to the extent reasonably necessary for HMRC to fulfil its primary function": [23]. In the present case, HMRC's desire to foster good relations with the press, its desire to publicise its views on tax avoidance schemes, and its belief that the journalists might have shared valuable information, did not justify the disclosure: [34]. Nor did the fact that the disclosure was made "off the record," although the Court did not seek to lay down a rule that such a disclosure would never be justified: [35].
It was not necessary to rule on a further submission from HMRC based on the application of the statutory provisions to information already in the public domain, but the Court noted that it was settled law that information may be made known to the public, and yet may not be sufficiently widely known for all confidentiality in it to be destroyed: [25].
Regarding the Court's approach to reviewing HMRC's conduct, it was emphasised that "public bodies are not immune from the ordinary application of the common law" including the duty of confidentiality: [28]. Consequently, it was for the Court to decide the question of whether there had been a breach of confidentiality, and it was not constrained to reviewing the decision on public law principles: [29].

Choose Life or Choose Meth is designed to prevent first time use by de-marketing Methamphetamine. It does this by contrasting the importance of living a healthy life against the inherent toxicity of Meth, which is systematically presented as a poison that destroys the physical, mental and social health of the user. This video replaces the ignorance that leads to bad decisions with a solid curriculum that leads to good ones. We believe that choices empower people and if they know what theyll be giving up to use Meth then more people will make informed choices that lead to healthier lives.
Choose Life or Choose Meth Main Feature: 40 minutes - introduces methamphetamine, a powerful, toxic, man-made stimulant that is extremely addictive. Initially it causes feelings of euphoria and sleeplessness so that many people who try it feel they can work a double shift, stay up all night studying, or even party all night. In reality meth is a poison that destroys the teeth and vital organs including the brain, heart, liver and skin. Users often become addicts, sometimes with in a week, and start down a long, tragic road that is fraught with crime, mental illness, STDs and physical abuse. This documentary will educate you about what methamphetamine is and why it is so dangerous. We have many choices to make in life. By the end of this video you will know why you can Choose Life... or you can Choose Meth.
Choose Life or Choose Meth Special bonus feature: 30 minutes takes a specific look at several aspects of methamphetamine addiction in greater detail. We explore the effects of methamphetamine on healthy sexuality and sexually transmitted diseases. Prenatal exposure and the effects on the unborn child, children living in meth abusing homes, and environmental issues raised by meth labs are discussed. Also included is a mothers perspective on the loss of a son to methamphetamine addiction.

This is page is dedicated towards aid in Haiti and examines the methods and controversies surrounding that aid. Even before the tragic earthquake, many organizations and countries worked towards Haitian relief. After the earthquake, more attention has been paid to humanitarian work in Haiti and a greater number number of organizations, ranging from governments to small non profit organizations, have been working towards building Haiti back better. Aid has become more important because of the greater need of the Haitian people. BBC news illustrates the damages of the earthquake from a variety of perspectives in the link above. Most of the aid in Haiti is performed through the NGOs or non- governmental organizations.
Before the Earthquake
Reasons for the vast aid corps range from the simple proximity — Haiti is close to the USA, easily reached and desperately poor — to the spiritual.
Churches and faith-based groups routinely send waves of volunteers, in batches of five to 20 at a time for a week or two, to share the Gospels and build and tend churches, schools and clinics, particularly in the populous Port-au-Prince area. Many return year after year.
Haiti was known as the "Republic of NGOs" prior to January 2010. This description of Haiti refers to the large number of NGOs that work in Haiti. Before the earthquake, the global media was not as invested in Haiti, and so the tensions surrounding the constant presence of outside aid were not widely publicized.
Critics of NGOs accuse these private organizations of preventing Haiti from gaining true self-sovereignty. The intentions of NGOs are genuine in their efforts to help Haiti. The above link is to an NPR article from a year after the earthquake that brings up problems still facing Haiti today. But while the political climate is no better, some of the points brought up against NGOs have been addressed by organizations that are not seeking to profit. Aid in Haiti is focused on long-term issues such as health care, education, housing, and agriculture, but the earthquake shifted the attention of aid providers to immediate disaster relief.
Progress in Aid
The NGO's in Haiti have been at work . However after the earthquake, the number of NGO's working in Haiti increased tremendously. They cover a range of sectors, including health, shelter, water, sanitation, education, agriculture and providing jobs and livelihoods, which are much needed in Haiti. See InterAction's Haiti mapping project for a better idea of who is doing what, where.
Some highlights of achievements so far:
- The Red Cross network has completed more than 6,500 semi-permanent homes, provided sanitation facilities to more than 400,000 people and emergency shelter to 180,000.
- Food For The Poor has built more than 2,000 two-room concrete block houses since the earthquake and has completed 110 water projects throughout the country. It also has a feeding center in the capital where 14,000 people get hot meals twice a day, six days a week. Food For The Poor has 33 fishing villages along Haiti's coasts.
- CARE has built 2,550 transitional shelters in Leogane and Carrefour areas, repaired 500 permanent homes to make them habitable and is also involved in building latrines in camps and furnishing schools and providing psychosocial support to families.
- UNICEF delivers clean water to more than 182,000 people; is distributing 11.5 million water purification tablets in camps and under-served communities. UNICEF has also reached more than 400,000 children with essential school supplies and is a key provider of immunization programs.
- CHF International has completed over 5,000 shelters since the earthquake, including 2,000 light gauge steel-framed structures and over 3,000 timber framed shelters.
- The IRC currently maintains water and sanitation programs at 31 settlements for more than 100,000 people and has an extensive family reunification program that involves identifying separated children, ensuring temporary protection and care, tracing families, reunifying families and follow-up and monitoring.
- The IRC has put to work more than 2,000 Haitians through an ongoing cash-for-work program that ensures equal access to employment opportunities for women.
- Save the Children is in the process of building and/or renovating 51 schools and sanitation facilities that will help 11,575 children. STC is also helping 20,781 children access a full package of school health and nutrition (which includes deworming pills, vitamin A supplements, iron supplements, vision and hearing screening) in 108 schools.
NGOs in Haiti
The USA is the largest foreign source of relief aid to Haiti from the 2010 Haiti earthquake. USA, through USAID is giving more than $712 million in aid. However, this money is comprised by the donations of many non-governmental organizations such as World Vision and the Red Cross accumulated from different parts of the globe through various campaigns in support of Haiti. In comparison, the EU and the 27 member-states alone are providing over 400 million euro, which is about $650 million dollars. Following this logic, the EU seems to be the largest financial support given to the Haitian nation.
The humanitarian response by non-governmental organizations to the 2010 Haiti earthquake included many non-governmental organizations, such as international, religious and regionally based NGOs, that immediately pledged support in the aftermath of the earthquake. Besides a large multi-contingency contribution by national governments, NGOs contributed a significant deal to both on-the-ground rescue efforts and external solicitation of aid for those rescue efforts. Different groups have different goals ranging from installing street lights and building small schools to building entire cities, educating the youth, changing the political system and essentially 'rebuilding' the whole of Haiti.
Partners in Health
PIH is known in Haiti as Zanmi Lasante, which is Haitian Creole for "Partners in Health." PIH works in many countries, but their program in Haiti is the original. Their first clinic opened in the village of Cange in 1985, and they have kept their presence in Haiti constant. After the 2010 earthquake, PIH provided care to Haitians who fled to the Central Plateau and Artibonite regions as well as those who had to relocate to camps in Port-au-Prince. PIH is invested in Haitian-run establishments and programs.
Founded in 2005 by Grammy-award winning musicians Wyclef Jean and Jerry Duplessis and Hugh Locke, Yélé Haiti is a grassroots, non-political charitable organization focusing on emergency relief, employment, youth development and education, and tree planting and agriculture.
Yélé Haiti was profoundly and permanently changed by the earthquake of January 12, 2010. The current programs are a combination of emergency relief and long-term rebuilding. However, two programs continue from the pre-earthquake period: Yélé Vert and the Youth Orchestra of Haiti.
Operation Blessing International
OBI is a Christian organization dedicated to "alleviating human suffering in the United States and around the world." In Haiti, they have a children's home, a hospital, fish farms, and clean water initiatives. The organization was founded in 1978 and works in many countries all over the world.
Haitian Reactions to Aid
Haitian Critical of Wyclef Jean and NGO Work
The video cannot be shown at the moment. Please try again later.
In this video from the Pulitzer Center, Haitian Paul Nixon expresses his anger toward Wyclef Jean and his NGO work and presidential run.
This image comes from an article on the Partners in Health website about Tatiana Therosme, a Zanmi Lasante psychologist who was honored by Women Deliver as one of "the 100 most inspiring people working to improve the lives of girls and women around the world." Mental health professionals are rare in Haiti, and Therosme has been hard at work with women suffering in the aftermath of the earthquake. In the above photograph, Therosme is standing in front of a patient's home in Cange.
Other Resources and Articles
This website maps out all of the aid work in Haiti. It also gives information on specific projects in specific areas and is a very helpful tool for those who are more interested. It basically informs the viewer of 'what is going on, where'.
AP Interview with Haitian President Michel Martelly
In this interview, Martelly discusses the importance of the aid provided by Venezuela. Venezuela pledged $1.3 billion dollars to aid Haiti and has so far disbursed $118 million. Martelly hopes to improve Haiti's economy and relations with Venezuela.
This interesting piece of information looks at aid in Haiti from another perspective.
NGOs: The Fifth Estate Awakens
This article from Forbes, which came out soon after the earthquake, discusses the rush to aid Haiti in the aftermath of the event. It also includes a video interview about the Davos agenda in Haiti.
Cacophonies of Aid, Failed State Building and NGOs in Haiti: setting the stage for disaster, envisioning the future.
Released by Partners in Health, this article discusses ways that NGOs can be helpful by providing long-term aid without making it harder for the government to regain control.
This is a Haitian perspective on the state of the country. It mentions the social climate as well as the problems associated with NGO aid, including the temporary nature of their employment of Haitians.
This article talks about the failure of aid in Haiti, and the reason it is hard to understand for those not living through it. The author discusses the long-term failures of Haitian aid and politics, and urges the reader to ask questions and look for real solutions.

A quick pop quiz for you, what do these terms all have in common: cheap, cost effective, reduced cost, low price, reduced price? If your first response is that they all are basically the same thing, then I could say that you're correct. Wouldn't you know it however, that the search engines, and the internet, don't see things quite the same way?
Search engines like Bing, Google and Yahoo are great at the basics of figuring out what it is that you're trying to find online. Using the above terms as an example, if you searched for a "cheap washing machine" you would expect to get ads for refurbished machines, maybe some Kajiji ads or even Craigslist offers. The problem with the way that search engines determine what you're looking for though, really becomes apparent when you search for "low price washing machines". They are the same terms, and mean the same to a person, but to a search engine bot they're completely separate values, you could just as well be searching for washing machines in one instance and a space shuttle the next.
The bearing this has on you, as a website owner and online storefront, is you need to be clear in your message you present, and your website needs to support your message. If you are in the business of repairing and reselling washing machines, then you need to be clear that yours are both cheap, and low price. Search engines, for as amazing as they are for what they do, has no idea of context, and as a result you need to relay that information to them. You do this both with your content, and with your optimization efforts. When you're ready to finally be known for all of your business services, the online branding experts are here to help.

Rihanna's plan to shoot photographs inside the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi didn't go very well over the weekend. Or, perhaps, it went exactly as the singer planned. Regardless, the pop star was given the big ugly boot from the grounds of the famed Mosque for not showing the structure the proper respect, but as you can see from the above photograph, she was able to emerge with her camera and post the shots already taken.
According to The Associated Press, leaders of the Mosque released a statement this morning outlining the specifics of why she was kicked out. First, she apparently wandered into some areas that are completely off limit to the general public, and second, the "status and sanctity" of the property were violated by her photo shoot. In short, she wasn't exactly treating the grounds like a holy place, which shouldn't come as a shock given this is the same woman who once wore a necklace with the c-word into a church.
As you can tell from the pictures, which were shot by Gomillion and Leupold, the starlet clearly put effort into choosing attire that's a little more modest than others she's sported, but still, it's hard to imagine there are many religious sites in the world that would be pumped about her posing to generate more publicity.
That being said, the photographs are very visually striking, and the creative team clearly picked the right career path. You can take a look at another one of the shots below…
