Hi gang:
Abe Nemeth has asked me to post the following paper.
Incidentally, Abe, you can post to firstname.lastname@example.com
directly and you have been added as a member of the list.
Read carefully what Abe has to say.
I know it has been a problem for me to train a reader to talk "mathspeak".
You need a system that is quick to teach, compact, and unambiguous.
Abe has captured it all here.
Take this as a launching pad,
how do you guys teach a reader to read tech?
What do you like, and what drives you crazy?
This is a popular FAQ.
I want to give an answer with some "group think" put into it.
Thanks Abe,
From: Abraham Nemeth
To: Members of the R&D and the S&E committees of NFB
Subect: Mathspeak
Date: August 5, 1995
When I was studying math at the college and post graduate levels,
I used sighted readers for accessing text materials, since
braille materials in math were almost entirely unavailable. Even
as a college professor, particularly during my early years, I
continued to use sighted readers, volunteers, paid, and teaching
assistants, largely for the same reason.
No standard protocol exists for articulating mathematical
expressions as it does for articulating the words of an English
sentence. Therefore, it was necessary for my reader and me to
come to some agreement as to the most efficient method for
conveying mathematical text to me in an unambiguous manner. Since
I needed to turn in assignments as a student, and since I often
prepared handouts for my students and for faculty seminars as a
professor, it soon became clear that the same protocol should be
used when I was dictating and my reader was doing the writing.
Little by little, a surprisingly simple protocol evolved. I can
teach it to a new reader in about 15 minutes. The most important
feature of this protocol is the principle that anything that was
read earlier or anything that will be read later should never
affect what I write now in response to my reader's current
utterance. I appropriated this principle from the Nemeth Code
which I had already developed and which was, of course, the code
that I was using for the writing of mathematical text.
At our recent convention in Chicago, this matter of "mathspeak"
came up at our Science ane Engineering meeting. At the conclusion
of this item, ohn Miller, our Chairman, gently but firmly
instructed me to prepare a writeup of this method and post it on
the Internet. What follows is my attempt to comply. I am posting
it on the R&D "listserve and am asking John to forward it to the
S&E listserve since I do not know the E-mail adress of the
latter. And, John, if you will give me that address, I will
It had never occurred to me before now that the method was
sufficiently substantial to warrant a formal description in
writing. Without further ado, here's how "mathspeak" works.
Lowercase letters are pronounced at face value without
modification. They are never combined to form words. In
particular, the trigonometric and other function abbreviations
are spelled out rather than pronounced as words. We say "s i n"
rather than "sine," "t a n" rather than "tan" or "tangent," "l o
g" rather than "log," etc.
A single uppercase letter is spoken as "upper" followed by the
name of the letter. If a word is in uppercase, it is spoken as
"upword" followed by the sequence of letters in the word,
pronounced one letter at a time.
For a Greek letter, my reader is taught to say "Greek" followed
by the English name of the letter. If he knows its Greek name, he
simply speaks that name. Thus, my reader might say "Greek e" or
"epsilon." Uppercase Greek letters are pronounced as "Greek
upper" followed by the English name of the letter, or "upper"
followed by the name of the Greek letter. For new readers, I had
a card with the lowercase and the uppercase Greek letters and
their names. Pretty soon my readers did not have to refer to the
card, or they did so only for infrequently occurring Greek
I never devised a formal method for pronouncing letters that were
printed in italic type, boldface type, script type, sanserif
type, or that were underlined. However, I do not anticipate any
difficulties in this area, should the need for a formal
"mathspeak" protocol become desirable.
Digits and Punctuation:
Digits are pronounced individually; never as words. Thus, 15 is
pronounced "1 5" and not "fifteen." Similarly, 100 is pronounced
"1 0 0" and not "one hundred." An embedded comma is pronounced
"comma," and a decimal point, whether leading, trailing, or
embedded, is pronounced "point."
The period, comma, and colon are pronounced at face value as
"period," "comma," and "colon." Other punctuation marks have
longer names and are pronounced in abbreviated form. Thus, the
semicolon is pronounced as "semi," and the exclamation point is
pronounced as "shriek." I borrowed the latter from the APL
programming language in which "shriek" is the standard way of
referring to the exclamation mark.
The grouping symbols are particularly verbose and require
abbreviated forms of speech. Thus, we say "L-pare" for the left
parenthesis, "R-pare" for the right parenthesis, "L-brack" for the
left bracket, "R-brack" for the right bracket, "L-brace" for the
left brace, "R-brace" for the right brace, "L-angle" for the left
angle bracket, and "R-angle" for the right angle bracket.
Operators and Other Math Symbols:
We say "plus" for plus and "minus" for minus. We say "dot" for
the multiplication dot and "cross" for the multiplication cross.
We say "star" for the asterisk and "slash" for the slash. We say
"superset" in a set-theoretic context or "implies" in a logical
context for a left-opening horseshoe. We say "subset" for a
right-opening horseshoe. We say "cup" (meaning union) for an
up-opening horseshoe and "cap" (meaning intersection) for a
down-opening horseshoe. We say "less" for a right-opening wedge
and "greater" for a left-opening wedge. We say "join" for an
up-opening wedge and "meet" for a down-opening wedge. The words
"cup," "cap," "join," and "meet" are standard mathematical
vocabulary. We say "less-equal" and "not-less" when the
right-opening wedge is modified to have these meanings. We say
"greater-equal" and "not-greater" under similar conditions for
the left-opening wedge. We say "equals" for the equals sign and
"not-equal" for a cancelled-out equals sign. We say "element" for
the set notation graphic with this meaning, and we say "contains"
for the reverse of this graphic. We say "partial" for the round
d, ane we say "del" for the inverted uppercase delta. We say
"dollar" for a slashed s, "cent" for a slashed c, and "pound" for
a slashed l. We say "integral" for the integral sign. We say
"infinity" for the infinity sign, and "empty-set" for the slashed
0 with that meaning. We say "degree" for a small elevat$ circle,
ane we say "percent" for the percent sign. We say "ampersand" for
the ampersand sign, and "underbar" for the underbar sign. We say
"crosshatch" for the sign that is sometimes called number sign or
pound sign. We say "space" for a clear space in print.
Although the above is a long list, it is not intended to be
complete. It does, however, cover most of the day-to-day material
with which we usually deal.
Fractions and adicals
We say "B-frac" as an abbreviation for "begin-fraction," and
"E-frac" as an abbreviation for "end-fraction". We say "over" for
the fraction line. Even the simplest fractions require "B-frac
and E-frac. Thus, to pronounce the fraction "one-half" according
to this protocol, we say "B-frac 1 over 2 E-frac." By this
convention, a fraction is completely unambiguous. If we say
"B-frac a plus b over c + d E-frac," the extent of the numerator
and of the denominator are completely unambiguous.
A simple fraction (which has no subsidiary fractions) is said to
be of order 0. By induction, a fraction of order n has at least
one subsidiary fraction of order n-1. A fraction of order 1 is
frequently referred to as a complex fraction, and one of order 2
as a hypercomplex fraction. Complex fractions are fairly common,
hypercomplex fractions are rare, and fractions of higher order
are practically non-existent. The order of a fraction is readily
determined by a simple visual inspection, so that the sighted
reader forms an immediate mental orientation to the nature of the
notation with which he is dealing. It is important for a braille
reader to have this same information at the same time that it is
available to the sighted reader. Without this information, the
braille reader may discover that he is dealing with a fraction
whose order is higher than he expected, and may have to
reformulate his thinking accordingly long after he has become
aware of the outer fraction.
To communicate the presence of a complex fraction, we say
"B-B-frac," "O-over," and "E-E-frac" for the components of a
complex fraction, in the manner of stuttering. For a hypercomplex
fraction, the components are spoken as "B-B-B-frac," "O-O-over,"
and "E-E-E-frac," respectively. You can see that the speech
patterns are designed to facilitate transcription in the Nemeth
Code, according to the rules of that Code.
Radicals are treated much like fractions. We say "B-rad" and
"E-rad" for the beginning and the end of a radical, respectively.
Thus, we say "B-rad 2 E-rad for the square root of 2.
Nested radicals are treated just like nested fractions, except
that there is no corresponding component for "over." Thus, if we
say "B-B-rad a plus B-rad a plus b E-rad plus b E-E-rad," the
braille reader is immediately alerted to the structure of the
notation just as the sighted reader is by mere inspection, and
the expression is unambiguous.
Subscripts and Superscripts
We introduce a subscript by saying "sub," and a superscript by
saying "sup" (pronounced like "soup.") We do not say "x square;"
instead we say "x sup 2." We say "base" to return to the base
level. The formula for the Pythagorean Theorem would be spoken as
"z sup 2 base equals x sup 2 base plus y sup 2 base period."
Whenever there is a change in level, the path, beginning at the
base level and ending at the new level, is spoken. Thus, if e has
a superscript of x, and x has a subscript of i+j, we say "e sup x
sup-sub i plus j." And if e has a superscript of x, and x has a
superscript of 2, we say "e sup x sup-sup 2." If the superscript
on e is x square plus y square, we say "e sup x sup-sup 2 sup
plus y sup-sup 2." If an element carries both a subscript and a
superscript, we speak all of the subscript first and then all of
the superscript. Thus, if e has a superscript of x, and x has a
subscript of i+j and a superscript of p sub k, we say "e sup x
sup-sub i plus j sup-sup p sup-sup-sub k."
If a radical is other than the square root, we speak the radical
index as a superscript to the radical. Thus, the cube root of x+y
is spoken as "b-rad sup 3 base x plus y E-rad."
We say "underscript" for a first-level underscript, and we say
"overscript" for a first level overscript. We say "endscript"
when all underscripts and overscripts terminate. Thus we say
"upper sigma underscript i equals 1 overscript n endscript a sub
i." We say "un-underscript" and "O-overscript" for a second-level
underscript and a second-level overscript, respectively. We speak
all the underscripts in the order of descending level before
speaking any of the overscripts. Each level is preceeded by
"underscript" with the proper number of "un" prefixes attached.
Similarly, we speak the overscripts in the order of ascending
level. Each level is preceeded by "overscript" with the proper
number of "O" prefixes attached.
The speech generated by this protocol is not exactly what a
professor in class would use, but it is absolutely unambiguous
and results in a perfect Nemeth Code transcription. It avoids
largely unsuccessful attempts by a reader to describe the
notation he sees, accompanied by the shouting and gesturing that
such attempts at description engender. When each of a number of
readers abides by this protocol, it is a snap to record the
information, and makes much better use of the time spent with a
As Raised Dot Cumputing has amply demonstrated, Nemeth Code can
be converted into correctly formatted print notation. And this
print notation can be converted into speech by using the protocol
described in this paper. Thus, speech to Nemeth Code to print to
speech demonstrates that these three systems are notationally
equivalent. The ability to convert from one form to another is a
distinct benefit to a blind person engaged in the field of
mathematics, whether as a student, a teacher, or as a worker in a
professional field, and gives him a competitive edge.
These considerations strongly suggest that serious thought be
given to refining "mathspeak" and making it a standard by which
complex mathematical notation can be communicated to a blind
person in verbal form. It could also serve as the basis for
transmitting mathematical notation electronically when ASCII is
not capable of conveying the notation (many math symbols have no
ASCII representation) or when ASCII codes which represent
notation are likely to be unfamiliar to the recipient.

text: Hey all, I have a 99 Integra. Here's the situation, the clutch was recently replaced maybe 6 months ago. Everything's been running fine until 2 days ago. I started the car, noticed that the pedal felt lighter than usual, and, when I went into 1st, I stalled the car out. Reason being, the engagement point is all the way at the bottom, instead of near the top. I drove it like that for a bit, turned it off, pumped the clutch pedal a few times, started the car, and it was like nothing ever happened, everything was back to normal. Today, I went to start it, but as soon as I pressed the pedal, it sank with no pressure whatsoever. Ideas?

After the surprising majority win by the Conservatives, it is hoped that a calmer administration, with fewer surprises and less upheaval, will now follow. While there may be a shift in some of the policies proffered in their manifesto, the Conservatives will no longer need to contend with the inevitable bartering involved in a coalition government. We outline below what we expect to see, as well as the issues that should no longer be under the spotlight, during this new administration.
Although an absolute abolition of non-domicile status should no longer be on the cards, we can expect less dramatic change in this area in the shape of:
- a general review of the availability of non-domicile status (with particular emphasis on those non-domiciled individuals born in the UK);
- the potential for introduction of a minimum claim period for the remittance basis charge following the consultation on this issue earlier in the year; and
- possible further increases in the remittance basis charges applicable to non-domiciled individuals.
Direct taxes
All talk of the dreaded mansion tax has been shelved – at least for the lifetime of this government – and the Conservatives have promised that direct taxes will not be increased. Therefore, the current rates for income tax, capital gains tax, VAT, NICs, stamp taxes and corporation tax should all be frozen. In addition, the income tax personal allowance will increase to £12,500 (with legislation being introduced to ensure that this allowances will automatically rise in line with the national minimum wage) and the threshold for the 40% higher rate income tax band will be raised to £50,000.
Inheritance tax
The Conservatives have long promised an increase in the nil rate band (NRB) and therefore we should expect that their pledge effectively to raise the combined NRB for married couples and civil partners to £1 million (by way of a new transferable main residence allowance of £175,000 each) will be an area legislated on sooner rather than later. However, such an increase in the NRB should prompt a review of existing testamentary arrangements to ensure that they will still achieve the desired result, particularly where a NRB trust or legacy is used.
We can also, finally, expect change on the tax treatment of trusts, following two consultations on the availability of NRBs to trusts established by an individual during their lifetime. Another area to watch will be the use of deed of variations to vary the terms of an individual's will or intestacy after death – flagged as the subject for a consultation by George Osborne in his last Budget.
We therefore anticipate that there will be less of a dramatic shift in the tax landscape and more of a continuing move in the direction in which we have already been heading.

New passport checks run smoothly
The first day of passport checks for travellers leaving Britain has begun smoothly, with passengers passing through ports without delay.
There had been fears that the exit checks would lead to long queues at ports such as Dover.
But the Government decided on a phased introduction of the checks and this appears to have paid off.
A P&O Ferries spokeswoman at Dover said: "Everything is running smoothly and there are no delays."
For the first month, only 25% of passports will be fully checked, with this percentage moving to 50% after one month, and 100% by the middle of June.
Channel Tunnel company Eurotunnel has warned of border travel "coming to a standstill" in future years unless new smarter technology for the checks is introduced.
The Home Office has said the exit checks will improve the Government's understanding of who is leaving the UK and create "a much clearer picture of who is staying in the country when they have no right to be here".
They will also help the police and security services track the movements of known criminals and terrorists.
As well as at sea ports, the checks are being introduced at airports - but airlines will be providing advance passenger information from an individual's travel documents, so air passengers will not notice the new system in action.
Eurotunnel has moved to full 100% checks straightaway, with the company spending £2.5 million on new systems, with road markings altered and 50 new staff taken on.
Eurotunnel public affairs director John Keefe said: "Over the next five years we are looking at Eurotunnel growth of 20-25% in passengers and 30% in truck traffic. The Government's approach to managing the borders will bring them to a standstill - we need smarter technology."
Speaking about today's introduction of the checks, a Home Office spokesman said: "Due to the different environments and scale of operations at ports, delivery approaches will vary.
"The Home Office has worked with carriers and ports to allow them to introduce exit checks in a way that aligns with their existing systems, including taking a phased approach at some ports to help minimise the impact on customers and on port operations."
Speaking last month, Security and Immigration Minister James Brokenshire said: "It is right that we have an immigration system that is fair, that tackles illegal immigration and that clamps down on those who try to cheat the system by staying here when they have no right to do so.
"Exit checks will provide us with vital information that confirms a person's exit from the UK. The coalition Government committed to reintroducing them in 2010 and the Immigration Act 2014 put in place legislation which gave carrier and port staff the powers to carry out these checks.
"Port and travel operators are experts in their business and know their customers best, which is why we've supported them to design and trial the systems for collecting data in a way that will minimise the impact on customers."

Infographic: Who's snatching your DIY dollars?
Fundraising Campaign Types March 23, 2016 By Kevin Wolfe
If you don't have a DIY program, the answer to that is pretty simple: Everybody.
Most major nonprofits already have DIY programs in place and the rest are currently adding DIY as a new revenue stream. So why is 2016 quickly becoming the Year of DIY? It's that organizations are seeing big benefits and almost no downside. A DIY program requires many less staff hours than a new event would and each campaign yields more than an event participant does: A LOT more. Check out this stats from our latest infographic with fresh stats from DonorDrive:
The average DIY campaign raises 541% more than the average event participant.
In our research we're seeing that DIY gives an organization's most-dedicated supporters another way to fundraise for their favorite cause. (Many create DIY campaigns in addition to participating in signature events.) Organizations are also seeing new supporters through DIY. These are often people who have wanted to fundraise for the organization, but didn't or couldn't participate in signature events.

A Secondary Math and Science Teacher Preparation Program

UTeach Conference
May 2014
In 1997, Mary Ann Rankin, then Dean of the College of Natural Sciences, launched UTeach— an innovative program for preparing math and science teachers.
Dean Rankin with former astronaut Bernard Harris during
the 10th Anniversary celebration of UTeach
Actually when UT surveyed science and math students, 25% had seriously considered teaching as a career but had been discouraged by parents, classmates, or professors.
Colleges of Science have a responsibility to become engaged and find solutions in math/science education AND will directly benefit from that solution.
It is possible to create a win/win situation that will elicit full cooperation and leadership from both Science and Education.
Science/Math faculty are full and proud participants in UTeachat UT Austin. Some accomplished research faculty chose UT over competing offers BECAUSE of the ability to participate in UTeach.
Professional development courses based on current research in learning sciences is critical to developing strong, well prepared teachers AND it needs to be focused on student learning in mathematics and science.

yet exciting and pays more if you are lucky enough to complete it. I
had someone email me regarding the following hand, and I have also
been asked this question while playing mah jongg. Some players have
avoided this hand because they were just not sure if they were going
to do it correctly. It is the concealed hand under 2013.
FFFF DDD 2013 DDD (Any 2 Dragons, 2 or 3 Suits)
Everyone seems to understand how to make this hand using all 3 suits,
but what about using 2 suits??? Here's how.
Make the 2013 using any suit. Then make pungs of any 2 dragons, red
and green, green and soaps, or soaps and red. Don't over-think it! Just
use 2 out of the 3 dragons to chose from, and you know how to make
the 2013, using any suit with the soap for the zero.
Now-----you can do it! Go girl firiend!
Happy Clicking!
If you know of anyone in the Phoenix area who is interested in learning to
play Mah Jongg, please have them contact me at email@example.com.

Pension providers will be required to tell people retiring they have a right to buy an annuity from another company from Monday. This is known as the "open market option".
Before you rush off to another insurer to vest your personal pension, however, check the terms of your policy. Hundreds of thousands of people have pension policies with guaranteed annuity rate (GAR) options. Although most do, providers are not required to tell them about it.
Many pension contracts, particularly those bought before 1988, include GAR options. Our list shows the most popular contracts taken out before 1988 with GAR options, some of which guarantee annuity rates of 10 per cent, 11 per cent or even 12 per cent per year.
Clive Scott-Hopkins, from independent financial adviser Towry Law, said: "They can offer enhanced annuity rates by as much as one-third over the best open market option."
There are many people with these types of contract who have yet to retire. Royal & Sun Alliance alone has 262,000 on its books, while Scottish Widows has 174,000 pension savers with GAR options.
Mr Scott-Hopkins said: "Most of these contracts were for people who were self-employed or were employees who were not provided with a pension at work. These contracts ceased being sold in March 1988 when the new pension regime came into being and personal pensions began being sold.
"However, people could go on making contributions into the old-style schemes and in many cases the new contributions still attracted GAR options."
According to Mr Scott-Hopkins, most GAR options can only be applied to single-life annuity contracts which cannot continue to provide for a widow, but not all. "For example, Scottish Widows will pay the full GAR to the policyholder and then an adjusted rate to his widow, which will probably still be higher than current annuity rates."
If you do not have a GAR option, it is probably worth using the open market option. As our table shows, annuity rates can vary significantly. As the average pension pot used to buy an annuity now is only £25,000, it is vital to buy the right one.
Ronnie Lymburn from the Annuity Bureau, an independent financial adviser, said: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to get it right. Doing so will not only ensure you have a better income, it will give you the peace of mind that you got the best available at the time."
For instance, Mr Lymburn said, if you qualify for an impaired life annuity, you could raise your retirement income by up to 45 per cent, and secure a better income for your widow. "Up to 20 per cent of people retiring now would qualify for an impaired life or a 'special rate' annuity, but many do not realise it."
A smoker, for example, could obtain an annuity rate about five per cent higher than usual. Someone who has had triple bypass surgery and is diabetic could receive 45 per cent more as well as a higher rate for their wife when they die, even if she is in perfect health.
Mr Lymburn said companies specialising in impaired life annuities include Axa, Scottish Widows, Pension Annuity Friendly Society, Prudential and Norwich Union.

text: hi, everybody! here's my doubt: soon i will get my first smartphone (yay, xD) and i'm looking the variety of phones that i can buy in each company. i was looking for something economic but good at the same time, and, while investigating, i found the Huawei Ascend G300. it is cheap in some way (if we compare it with other smartphones) but it seems to be a good device for being at that price (it is at 170€, maybe 170$ or a bit less). so i wanted a second opinion for some experienced smartphone-users: is it a good phone? if you want to know what i plan to do with it, its main use will be for music, i will use it a bit for Twitter and, of course, gaming, mainly the gba emulator and other games that could interest me in the market.

Graham Dewyea interviews St. Germain through Linda Dillon.
We know that Nova Earth will be a more evolved, higher-vibrational paradigm, and that lower-dimensional qualities such as greed, lust, revenge, jealously, frustration, disappointment and selfishness won't exist.
Join me as I interview ascended master St. Germain on what it was like for him to be human on earth and to transition into the higher dimensions as we are doing now. I'll ask him to share what life looks like and feels like living in the 5th dimension, what we can expect as we enter into a higher-vibrational state where there is abundance, full freedom, and perfect health for everyone. These alone would cause many current human behaviors to greatly diminish it seems to me.
The higher dimensions are often described as peaceful and loving states, but surely disagreements still surface. How is conflict addressed in the higher dimensions? What emotions can we expect in the higher dimensions? How does being in a state of unity consciousness effect communication and how we relate to one another if everyone knows everyone's thoughts and feelings? I will be asking these questions and more and hope you can join us for what I expect will be a fruitful and timely discussion.

Depending upon your technological capabilities, there are many different ways to accomplish your tasks as an affiliate marketer. Think carefully about the product or service you are promoting. Do you know your audience? Unlike spammers, successful and ethical affiliates respect the privacy and preferences of online users. It takes strategy and understanding.
So many affiliate product promoters try to maximize their earnings by building "super" affiliate empires. They work endless promotions, have too many products to sell and work 25 hours a day. There is such a thing as working too hard. There is no sense in rushing the process as it will only cause burnout. Just work slowly and carefully and identify the best fit for you.
Not every affiliate marketing website is the same. There are some that can be frustrating or just plain difficult to navigate. A good affiliate marketer doesn't allow a poor website to interfere with his business. This is very helpful because it encourages people to buy your product, and it builds trust.
Use reviews from consumers who have already tried the product and speak its' praises or put up screen shots applicable to the item. If you provide a lot of information about the product, customers will feel more comfortable buying it.
Give careful consideration before linking to products on your site. It may take you a while to learn the best way to arrange your site's affiliate links, but once you've struck upon a successful formula, your profits will rise accordingly.
Keep a copy of your most effective emails so you can easily send them out again if you need to attract new customers. To get new ones, use your very best emails that grab a potential customer's jacket by the lapels.
Affiliate links can go way beyond the obvious; consider related items that could be set up as links on your site. Perhaps they would consider purchasing a water bottle that has a convenient carrying strap as well.
Always tell your visitors when you use affiliate marketing, and find out if they respond in a positive way. You should always be honest with your content. If your site's readers understand your reasoning behind the affiliate product offers you make, they will more likely regard you positively and respond well to the offers.
Monitoring your affiliate statistics also means you should watch where a link performs well. Try placing the affiliate link in different places on the page and determine which placement works best. Rearrange the same copy when you use it so that you only change the link and where it sits with the content.
Spend money on advertising and you'll see a handsome return on the investment. Drive sales and gain more site traffic by purchasing targeted keyword ads. This increases the chances of getting the most value out of your traffic, these visitors have already shown to have an interest in the types of products you are selling.
Affiliate programs can be quite diverse. They offer different products with differing amounts of flexibility.
You should take care that you and your affiliate program are not misusing these cookies. This is generally considered annoying to your visitors. At the worst, it can spread harmful viruses and break affiliate customer chains.
To increase your profits from affiliate programs, write inviting product reviews that include visually appealing elements like videos, photos and screenshots. This will help draw more customers in to buy your product. Try to make a very specific review. People want specifics.
Make sure to spread your advertising over many different venues. You can advertise online as there are a lot of people that like to shop this way. Others enjoy looking at brochures and flyers. Some people respond well to coupons to help them make their purchasing decision. The more you diversify your advertising, the better chance you have of attracting new customers.
One thing to remember when entering the world of affiliate marketing is to use deadlines for purchasing products religiously. If your customers see there's a small window of time for them to purchase your product, it may give them a push to purchase it. The sales boost this provides can be an impressive one.
Affiliate Marketing
If any of your partners in the affiliate marketing program offer referral programs, be sure to take advantage of them. Referring others to a business or website is a great way to earn commissions and rewards. This can be done by paying per referral or based on commission of any sales that come from that referral. If you have found a new or untapped niche, you have a great position for affiliate marketing.
Google is very integrated into the social media market. Social media is a large factor in how market sites are booked and how search results are produced through Google. Twitter, Facebook, and others are linked to these pages with tweets and comments.
Banner ads should give the visitor a reason to want to go to your site. Do not mislead your visitors however. If the question is relevant to a large audience, many will click the banner to find the answer. Entice your visitors by providing discounts to those who answer the questions correctly.
When a targeted visitor is browsing your sports-related website, he or she is deliberately seeking sports-related products. Affiliate links that are unrelated to sports will not get many clicks. For example, if you put a gardening tools affiliate link, don't expect it to get a lot of clicks! The readers of your website will click your ads if they are related to the content of your site.
The ideas outlined above will help you attract new customers and make a profit. When you work in the market, you will learn methods that work for you. In conclusion, You will find that successful marketing is not so difficult, so long as you adhere to the fundamentals

Severe thunderstorms create light show across the Prairies, storm risk continues Wednesday
Digital Reporter
Wednesday, August 20, 2014, 1:04 PM - Severe thunderstorm watches and warnings covered parts of the Prairies Tuesday.
Small hail, heavy rain and strong winds were reported along with frequent lightning strikes across both Alberta and Saskatchewan.
PATTERN CHANGE: Dr. Doug Gillham provides a detailed analysis of the weather for the end of August.
Thanks to all of you that submitted incredible shots of the storms, including these captivating lightning strikes.
"Sunset lightning" - Roger Foust, Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan
"Lightning at Regina Beach" - Ross Carter, Regina Beach, Saskatchewan
"Frequent Lightning in Regina" - Notanee Bourassa, Regina, Saskatchewan
"Another Southern Alberta electrical storm" - Darcy Ingram
"Lightning Over Edmonton" - Jeff & Lana Bishop, Edmonton, Alberta
All watches and warnings ended Tuesday night, but thunderstorms continued to light up the night sky across Saskatchewan early Wednesday.
Thunderstorms are expected to re-develop Wednesday afternoon with potentially severe storms expected along the Saskatchewan/Manitoba border.
"Slow moving thunderstorms tracking across southwestern Manitoba are producing localized heavy rainfall," said Environment Canada in a severe thunderstorm watch issued late Wednesday morning. "These thunderstorms are expected to weaken by early afternoon, however a trough of low pressure invading from Saskatchewan is expected to create another round of intense thunderstorms later this afternoon into this evening."
Heavy rain, large hail and strong winds will be the main threats with these storms.

Date: 1 Feb 1995 20:00:30 GMT Organization: Virginia Tech English Department Lines: 84 In article Nana Yaw Ofori, firstname.lastname@example.com writes: > Seeing that bizzare "My GM Wants to Kill Me" Thread, I decided to post >the opposite of it, to see if any of you have been placed in a situation >where you wanted to die, but the GM wouldn't let you. It's happened to me a >few times. Here's one. Oh, BOY! I've been wanting to tell this story for a long time: When I was in high school, the only campaign in town was being run by a diehard D&D/AD&D player who was considered something of a hardass by his players. His campaign had few absolute rules, but one of them was that once an individual had begun roleplaying a character, he couldn't create another until the first one had died. One of the players in this campaign came up with some really stellar character creation rolls and decided to play a monk. The DM warned him that such a character wouldn't fit the campaign very well (particularly at first level) but allowed him to play Brother Taren anyway. The next several game weeks found the monk's party (most of them higher level) traveling through a hazardous wilderness area heavily populated by hostile humanoids. After nearly being killed in every battle (and after an hilarious fight with an ogre in which Taren had to dive into a hollow tree to save his own life) the player decided he'd had enough, and began plunging recklessly into combat with every dangerous-looking creature he saw. The DM, sensing an opportunity to have some fun with a player who'd ignored his advice, refused to let Taren die in battle, often offering up the flimsiest of excuses for why the character miraculously survived fights with creatures that should've killed him instantly. Frustrated, Taren's player had him leap off a cliff, only to land in a conveniently-placed haycart a negligent farmer had left at the bottom. Taren then tried to kill himself with a dagger, but succeeded only in depleting his hit points and rendering himself unconscious. (He was found by benevolent wandering clerics who healed him while he slept.) Subsequent suicide attempts met with similar results. Knowing that the punishments for most crimes in the kingdom were harsh, Taren then set about committing an offense so heinous that the local magistrate would have no choice but to put him to death. In a small city known for its strict law enforcement, Taren approached the local orphanage (run, of course, by the campaign's main Lawful Good church). What happened next is still legendary among the local gamers. Taren walked up to the front door, knocked, and when a nun of the Lawful Good order answered, raised his crossbow and fired . . . and missed. The nun immediately slammed the door and, after winning initiative the next round, barred it as well before Taren could kick it open. Before long a local militia patrol happened by to find an hysterical monk attacking the stout oak door of the orphanage and screaming "I'm going to KILL you!" at the top of his lungs. They attacked him by surprise from behind, subdued him and dragged him off to the lunatic asylum (also run, as fate would have it, by the same church as the orphanage). Noting his suicidal tendencies, the clerics at the asylum restrained him in a cell and denied him all access to anything he might use to kill himself. Taren knew that one of the greatest sins in the clerics' religion was blasphemy; in fact, just speaking the name of its god was a capital offense in the kingdom in question, where it was the state religion. Taren began cursing the church and its sacraments day and night, making up bawdy limericks about the priesthood and counting the number of times per day he could take the name of the deity in vain. The magistrate was required by law to punish Taren's crimes with death, but the priests at the asylum begged for mercy on his behalf. After considering the issue, the magistrate decided to split the difference and had Taren's tongue cut out. As far as anyone knows, he's still hanging from the ceiling in a dark cell, making inarticulate noises and trying to touch the floor with his toes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- H.

About "Ship of Fools" by WanderingBert
Ship of Fools
Design by WanderingBert
The 'Ship of Fools' is an old allegory that has long been used in Western culture in literature and paintings. With a sense of self-criticism, it describes the world and its human inhabitants as a vessel whose deranged passengers neither know nor care where they are going. (From Wikipedia)
Looks great on dark blue or any other dark colour, and also looks good on yellow, red or light blue. (links to colour variations and bigger image on my profile).
Uses 5 colours plus the shirt colour.
Very cute
i think the boat could use a little depth
kinda feels like the jesters are posing on a cardboard cut out for the sake of the picture.
awesesome work... as always 5
A nice change-up for you...not exactly my favorite kind of chunky style for you, but I'm glad you still feel the need to get adventurous! Nice work.
not bad haha was this supposed to be hm i dont know a funny version of the painting ship of fools hahaha its nice though

LAPD far short of funds for DNA tests
By Richard Winton
The Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Police Department would need $9.3 million to clear up a backlog of untested DNA evidence that could hold the key to solving hundreds of sexual assaults and other violent crimes, but state and local money is falling far short of covering the cost, officials say.
The problem was underscored by a state audit released Thursday that detailed the shortfall that has existed between state aid and local law enforcement needs.

text: Need your thoughts on which is better - the Kohler Command Pro horizontal motor or the Briggs Professional Vertical shaft motor. Everything else is equivalent - pumps, motors, decks are all the same. Only the motor changes. Kohler is a 23, Briggs a 26 - air filtration is Canister type on the Kohler, flat automotive type on the Briggs. Oil filtration is the same on both. I'm looking at these for the long run and interested in what you have to say.

Bard Build

Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Threats to Bard with this build
|Focus poking her down and she cant do much back to you. Plus safest support to roam against since she can not hard engage on your adc.
PLEASE at least read early, core, and late sections, as it is important to understanding this build, I know some people just see the items and build them without knowing why. So, I truly enjoyed playing Bard very much so. He is one of the funnest champs for me to play. I think we can agree though that many of the standard builds for him out there feel lack luster. It usually consist of you going straight tank and just offering utility. I use to do it that way, and many times I would hate using my abilities than feeling useless. Going tanky does not matter to the enemy team since you can be easily ignored. I experimented alot and read the effects of every item to see what would work well with Bard's play style. This build is in accordance to giving bard a bigger role on the rift, and I do mean bigger role because this build offers much more power to Bard. This build is for aggressive but SMART Bard players, and I truly mean smart Bard players because this can be a difficult build to pull off. Although it may be difficult, it is in my opinion the most rewarding and effective. The focus of this build is to use Bard to his full potential in making his strengths even stronger.
The runes are standard runes for support Bard. The hybrid penetration runes work well with bard early on in his poking. The movement speed to get around quickly, since you will need to be doing so with bard. Standard flat armor runes and scaling magic resist rune for survivability.
So here is where you become as squishy as a stuffed animal. The cunning tree, just follow the path of support masteries, secret stash, wanderer, bandit, and precision. Thunder lord decree is probably the strongest mastery right now, offering a short quick effective burst. It works extremely well, with Bard especially when you get two meeps Q-Auto-Auto. This gives quite a nice little burst. The ferocity tree with damaging masteries because this build if for the aggressive bard.
Flash and ignite. Flash because it is standard utility that cant be passed up. Ignite for damage, securing kills, and denying heals. If the enemy team has 2 or 3 assassins for some reason, take exhaust instead so your poor adc doesn't get insta gibbed.
Early items and early gameplay (important, read)
This moment is Bard's weakest. You have to be very careful in how you play early on. Early on, you should have Sightstone Boots and sweeping lense and possibly Sheen Provide warding for yourself and within the enemy jungle. Support your lane and make smart decisions. Also DO NOT leave your lane partner alone early on. The problem with this is that, you partner becomes extremely endangered and you lose out on experience. Your goal early game is to stay healthy in lane. When your lane partner recalls to buy this is your opportunity to roam.
Make sure you have at least 75% percent health, as anything lower if you are caught out, you can be bursted down quickly and if you gank mid lane with low health you are basically giving their mid laner a free kill. So staying healthy early on is important for effective roaming when your lane partner recalls.
If you can not find a gank mid, there are still other options. Go into the enemy jungle and provide wards there, be careful while doing this, magical journey should provide a safe escape if you do encounter enemies. Before you enter the enemy jungle leave a caretaker shrine at the entrance you plan of leaving from just for extra safety padding. If there is no enemies in the bot side of the jungle and you are with your jugnler you can help him counter jungle and warn your teammate that the enemy jungler is not on the bottom side of the map. Also don't forget to collect your chimes!
Core Items and gameplay (important, read)
At this point you should have completed Iceborn Gaunlet and Boots of Mobility while working towards your Frost Queen's Claim . Here you gain a good power spike and should be playing more aggressively. Still make smart decisions of course which you should always be making, but you have more leeway with added tankyness, slows and damage.
If the laning phase is not over, this is your oppertunity to really push the pace of the game. Call your jungler over for easy gank at bot lane through magical journey. It should be guarantee kills every time kills that open up objective such as towers and dragon. The scenario should play out like this. Magical Journey to lane with jungler, auto attack apply iceborn gauntlet slow which usually is enough. At this point the enemy will use one of their gap closers or flash to get away, this is when you use tempered fate. You close the gap and you should have a very easy cosmic binding stun set up right out of tempered fate. This works if you are pushed in or at the mid section of the lane.
Now if they are under tower, again you should at least get one kill from this. Call your jungler over through the lane. Set up and use tempered fate on the tower and dive the enemy. Then use magical journey to escape the towers range when it is back online. These are things you can do to almost always effective control bot lane. Now, if your lane partner recalls or has a big freeze where nothing is going on, then you can roam.
Going to mid lane usually the enemy mid laner is a squishy and you alone can take 50 to 70 percent of their health relatively quickly. Use frost queen's active, Magical journey in, auto attack to apply ice born gauntlet slow, use cosmic binding to activate sheen and apply another slow or stun, ignite, then use another meep auto attack to apply sheen, plus thunderlord, and another ice born gauntlet slow. All your mid laner has to really do is land one damaging skill to finish them off.
When setting up for dragon set up your three care taker shrines around the pit for your team to have, and ward. Also boots of mobility if a must for getting around quickly. I notice people build iona boots for the cdr, but with this build you have max cdr without the boots.
Late Items and gameplay (Important, read)
Here you should have Banner of Command for it gives Bard everything that benefits this build and just bard as a champion overall. It will give you max cdr, magic resist to your teammates, health, ability power, and a decent active against wave clear mages. Z'z Portal really doesn't get finished unless the game goes really late. In replacement you can upgrade your sight stone to a ruby sight stone and buy a raptor cloak. If the game continues upgrade your raptor cloak into a Z'z portal.
When you have full build and your team is grouping at this point team fight is key. You can quickly travel to the far end of an enemy lane and drop Z'z portal's active, so the lane can start pushing in your favor. Someone on the enemy team will have to go deal with it making it 5v4. Group with your teammates quickly and the moment when you and the enemy team dance around each other before the big team fight begin to set up your caretaker shrines. Now your ultimate can be used to catch somebody and get a pick. Or if someone left to deal with your Z'z portal use it on the enemy team to force engage the 5v4. Typically using your ultimate on the entire enemy team does not do much unless your team has a wombo combo that can easily be followed up after your ult.
The most effective way I noticed to use Bard ultimate in a 5v5 team fight is in isolation.Using the ultimate on their front line leaving the back line open for your team. It works extremely well when pulled off right. Your team has to react immediately in diving their back line and killing them quickly. So let your team know that is what you plan on doing and you will ping when you are about to ult. This in my opinion is like bards equivalent to blitz hooking their adc late game. It is basically bards trump card, his game ender.
Pros / Cons
Good damage
Solid Tankyness
Great map pressure
Amazing mid and late
Amazing utility, slows are nuts
Horrendous early game
Early prolonged stay to roam after adc recalls
Difficult early game surviving
Anyway guys, thanks for reading this guide on Bard. I'm really passionate about this champion so I truly worked at finding a build that is effective on him. I really hope this becomes a staple route on building an aggressive Bard. I would like to hear your guys thoughts and experience with the build. Thanks and have a good day :)

Somaxon Pharmaceuticals said it priced an offering of 6 million shares at $8.25 a share.
The San Diego drug company, which recently won approval to start marketing a sleeping pill, said it expects to raise about $45.9 million in the sale, after expenses.
The company was down to $5.2 million in cash as of Dec. 31 after posting a loss of $14.4 million last year.
Adventrx to meet with FDA over unapproved chemo drug
The San Diego drug company Adventrx said it will meet with regulators the last week in April to discuss a new chemotherapy formulation that recently failed to win approval.
The Food and Drug Administration had expressed concerns related to manufacturing of the drug, a new formulation of vinorelbine, which treats conditions that include non-small-cell lung cancer. Adventrx has said the setback could delay a possible approval as much as six or seven months.
The company said it requested the meeting with the FDA "to understand its requirements and define the path to a successful filing."
San Diego company hired to complete L.A. project
Douglas Wilson Cos. of San Diego has been hired as the receiver for a 39-unit loft project under construction in downtown Los Angeles.
Wilson will oversee completion of Barn Lofts, a 1906-era warehouse that is being converted into condominiums.
The project was 90 percent complete when the developer defaulted on a $19 million loan, according to the company. Wilson expects construction to be completed in three to six months in preparation for the units to go on sale.
Grumman gets $50 million pact for aerial drone repair
Northrop Grumman of San Diego has been awarded a $50 million contract to provide repair capabilities for the Global Hawk Enhanced Integrated Sensor suite. The Global Hawk is Northrop Grumman's high-altitude, unmanned aerial vehicle.
The Pentagon said the contract is separate from the production repair line. It provides additional specialized test equipment.
New deal struck may ease economic worries in Greece
A hard-won deal to provide a safety net for Greece provided the debt-ridden country with some welcome relief yesterday, with its cost of borrowing on international markets edging down slightly and labor unions at home saying they would hold off on any further strikes — at least for now.
Prime Minister George Papandreou said that while Greece still faced problems, the new plan would give it breathing space to implement his Socialist government's harsh austerity program, designed to reduce its massive budget deficit and pull Greece out of a financial crisis that has rocked the European Union's common currency.

Basket Bunch For #WWYS10
Good Morning!
Today I am very excited to share with you my project for #WWYS10 where I am the guest designer this week! I received this amazing honour when I won the #WWYS107 challenge 3 weeks ago (original post HERE) So if you want a chance to be a guest designer, head on over to the What Will You Stamp site and enter!
This was one of those projects that just decide to make themselves I think, I started out with the idea to do a basket full of daffodils and the next minute I had a whole field!
I used my daubers (133773) to create the sky using pacific point (126951), tempting turquoise (126952) and whisper white (101780) I also put some colour down behind where my daffodils were going to go using daffodil delight (126944) and garden green (126973). For the daffodils and leaves I decided to use tone on tone stamping and then cut them using the matching framelits.

My three daughters and I attend Elijah's Place. My husband, their father died almost two years ago and we have been going since that time. We have benefited greatly from the services. The facilitators are excellent and so caring. Elijah's Place is a place where we can go and be with other parents and children who have experienced the same loss that we have. The parent group is a strong, supportive community.
As a sidenote, I was on the original advisory council with Dean Terrebone that started EP. Now my daughters and I benefit from the service
