Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most widespread disabling neurological condition among young adults all around the world. You can develop MS at any age, but most people are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 40.
The Multiple Sclerosis Foundation estimates that more than 400,000 people in the United States and about 2.5 million people around the world suffer from MS.
Read more about the prevalence of Multiple Sclerosis
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain is useful in the diagnosis and treatment of Multiple Sclerosis, an inflammatory, demyelinating condition of the central nervous system (CNS) that is generally considered to be autoimmune in nature. MRI provides reliable detection and quantitative estimation of focal white matter lesions in vivo. Diagnosis of MS is based not only on the disease dissemination in space and time but also on excluding other disorders that can mimic multiple sclerosis. Neurological impairment of MS patients is poorly associated with the lesion load observed on conventional MRI scans, partly due to the low sensitivity of conventional MRI in detecting both grey and white-matter damage.
Mew MRI techniques have been developed in order to overcome these limitations.
Check Dr. Pablo Villoslada's (professor at UCSF School of Medicine and senior researcher at IDIBAPS, Hospital Clinic, Barcelona) view on this disease, and how he thinks MRI technology can help accelerate the treatment for Multiple Sclerosis.

U.K. international trade minister Greg Hands said it would be a "disaster to go back to protectionism," and that the U.K. positioned itself as "the biggest advocate of global free trade."
The United Kingdom's international trade minister on Wednesday sought to reassure the Seattle technology community that even as Britain prepares to leave the European Union it remains a steadfast champion of free commerce and a strategic locale for U.S. tech titans.
Speaking to a roundtable of tech entrepreneurs at the headquarters of prominent venture-capital firm Madrona Venture Group, Greg Hands said that it would be a "disaster to go back to protectionism," and that the U.K. positioned itself as "the biggest advocate of global free trade."
The comments come amid widening concern about the state of the liberal world order, a worry especially relevant in Washington state, where corporate giants have built empires on the relatively free flow of goods, money and, to a lesser extent, people across the globe.
Economic stagnation in many parts of the developed world helped erode the consensus on globalization that became dominant after the fall of the Soviet bloc, and has given rise to populist and nationalist movements.

Hands also spoke before a meeting Friday between U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May and President Trump, who put the White House on a platform highly skeptical of globalization. Earlier this week, Trump moved to withdraw the U.S. from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and he has designs to redraw the North American Free Trade Agreement with Canada and Mexico.
The leaders are expected to sow the seeds of a trade deal that could give the U.K. an important tether as it negotiates its way out of the European Union.
The American-born Hands has an interesting role in the environment the U.K. has found itself in since the British voted last year to leave the EU: that of crafting trade deals with other powers, a task that for decades was in the hands of Brussels. He said that the recovery of that sovereignty would make the U.K. even more open to the rest of the world.
For many U.S. companies, however, the U.K. has long served as a familiar, well-situated beachhead into the much larger European market, from where they can quickly deploy executives, products and financial transactions. The so-called Brexit poses plenty of uncertainties to these multinational firms, particularly around regulatory issues and the mobility of their personnel.
Hands, who also met on Wednesday with top brass at Amazon.com, Starbucks and Boeing, said the U.K. would seek to remain on good terms with the EU and maintain "maximum access" to the European market after its departure.
He also said the U.K. expected to reach an agreement quickly to guarantee the status of the 3 million EU nationals residing in Britain, as well as the 2 million British citizens living on the Continent.
Madrona partner Hope Cochran said Hands' visit shows that the U.K. "is working hard to pave the way forward" by opening direct lines of communication to the international business community.
"There are still a lot of questions to work through," but Hands' department is approaching them with openness, Cochran said. The U.K. "has historically been a great jumping-off point for U.S. companies expanding into Europe and the minister communicated that he intends to keep it that way."
Hands' pro-free trade comments should address some of the concerns illustrated by a recent online presentation by Owen Larter, a manager in Microsoft's U.K. government-affairs team, in which he said that new import taxes could cause the company to pull back on its investments in data centers in the country.
Large tariffs on servers, many of which are assembled in China and the Eastern Europe, "might change our investment decisions and perhaps we build out our data centers across other European countries," he said in the presentation, spotted by the TechRepublic news site and since taken offline.
Larter also said Microsoft was pushing to make it easier to bring workers into the U.K., and was concerned that a break between the U.K. and EU could mean more complicated rules for data privacy.
Microsoft subsequently issued a statement reaffirming its commitment to its growing U.K. data-center footprint, saying Larter's comments were not reflective of the company's views.
Hands said he supported free flow of data across borders with safeguards for privacy.
Britain will be bound by the coming EU data-privacy regime, called the General Data Protection Regulation, from the time those rules phase in next year until the split London negotiates with Brussels.
Speaking generally about the new U.K. approach to regulation compared with the EU, Hands said he "would be very surprised if we went off wholesale in a different direction."

(Web Desk) - Holder of the record titles for oldest living person and oldest living woman Emma Martina Luigia Morano of Vercelli, Italy has passed away. He revealed "she thanked me and held my hand" as usual.
Emma Morano, who at 117 was believed to be the world's oldest person and the last surviving child of the 19th century, died on Saturday, swearing to the end on her diet of two raw eggs a day.
In November 29, 2016, Emma Morano celebrated her 117th birthday.
She said her father rarely spoke about the war and never described events leading to his receiving the Silver Star.
Dr Bava said: 'She didn't suffer.
While other centenarians have attributed their longevity to everything from exercise to lack of exercise, Morano claimed her secret to a long life was two raw eggs a day.
Ms Morano went on to support herself by working in a factory making jute bags, then at a hotel, working far beyond the usual retirement age. Local media said her health had deteriorated in recent weeks. Now this title will presumably pass on to Violet Brown of Jamaica, who turned 117 on March 10, according to the Gerontology Research Group, a U.S. body that tracks supercentenarians, or people aged 110 or older.
Dr Bava had been her physician for nearly 25 years.
And despite her age, Morano had a childlike love of cookies, her doctor Carlo Bava said.
The Italian Ansa and Agi said the Mourinho family and friends had reported her death.
The Guinness Book of World Records also recognizes Brown as the first-ever verified supercentenarian from Jamaica as well as the oldest verified person from the English-speaking Caribbean island.
"Her niece and I leave some biscuits and chocolates out at night in the kitchen". "The beauty of Emma is that it is normal that she smiles, but also in difficulties, she is very decisive". Her eyesight did become very poor and she spent much of her days sleeping.

Google Chrome above all other popular web browsers is known for its extensions. These include facebook zoom, grooveshark and disctionaries. More innovative ones include 100,000 stars (a view of the nearest 100,000 stars in the milky way galaxy) and a view of J.R.R Tolkien's Middle Earth. Recently another extension called Project Naptha has been added to that list.
Naptha was coded by developer Kevin Kwok. It allows the user to select any text in a certain picture and manipulate it in a lot of ways. The text can be copied, erased, translated and edited depending on the user's choice. It recognizes text from any picture using both Microsoft and Google software.
The feature works well because of an inbuilt technique called in-painting, the effect of which is similar to that of Adobe Photoshop's "Content-aware-fill" feature. In-painting adjusts the translated, edited, erased or modified text such that the picture does not seem altered by filling in the new areas that need recoloring with colors from the surrounding areas in the picture. And of course no editing software is complete without a save feature allowing you to reminisce later in life about your handiwork, no matter how simple or silly it might be.
The extension runs on the Stroke Width Transform algorithm Microsoft Research invented for text detection in natural scenes. It also provides the option of using Google's open-source OCR engine Tesseract when necessary.
Project Naptha will soon be coming to other browsers like Internet Explorer, Opera, Firefox and Safari if the developer Mr. Kwok is to be believed.

Docking in Finland in early August was bittersweet: Helsinki was where I said good-bye to my family after eight weeks of sailing around Europe with them on the Semester at Sea 2014 summer voyage. Eight weeks of nearly constant togetherness (when I wasn't working–which, admittedly, was a lot). Eight weeks of exploring eight different ports, sampling countless new foods, mastering unfamiliar transportation, and hiking new-to-us trails in the European countryside.
My husband and kids needed to leave the ship two weeks before the end of the summer voyage, namely so my daughter could get home to start high school fall sports practice. So, in Finland, besides one family walk along the marina for some post-ship-dinner ice cream, I was largely on my own. And that ended up okay: TEDx Semester at Sea took place our first full day docked in Helsinki, a work obligation that sucked up a ton of my time, and I was also assigned to cover a class field lab, which included a walking tour of downtown, so I got acquainted with some of the key sights.
Otherwise, I spent my time in Helsinki simply sitting on the rocky waterfront with friends, stocking up on groceries, and strolling through a few parks. Apparently, however, I didn't take many (any) photos of these activities, since I cannot for the life of me find them in my summer photo archives.
I did, however, find a bunch of photos from my day trip to Estonia–easy to reach from Helsinki via Tallink ferry. I joined a scheduled Semester at Sea field program, with about 80 other voyagers, to take the high-speed, two-hour ferry to the medieval town of Tallinn, Estonia; enjoy a walking tour of some of the historic sites and churches; eat lunch at Olde Hansa in a 15th-century building in Old Town; and spend some free time strolling around on our own. Truthfully, I had some friends who secured ferry tickets much cheaper on their own than I did with the SAS-organized excursion, but I was happy for the company of other SASsers, as well as the included tour and lunch. Here are a few highlights of Tallinn in photos:

A remarkable two-story Tavern with an exterior design inspired by the original Green Dragon Tavern. Inside, our guests will find the custom craftsmanship of our woodwork and three-story wood beam ceiling a beautiful alternative to the mass-produced ambiance of the many chain restaurants of our day. While passionate about our history, we do recognize that we live in modern times and enjoy our sports. We offer seven large flat screen LED HD televisions. We have a local following that deems us the headquarters for watching sports in Carlsbad, as there is not a blind spot in to be found in the Tavern. Let's be candid: If our founders had TVs back then, they would have had them in the tavern! Décor includes a massive brass chandelier, custom built cherry stained tables and American handmade Hitchcock chairs with depictions of Pilgrims and the revolution. Artwork depicts scenes of the revolutionary war era, and inspires conversation about our country's history as well as present day issues of importance. What's your revolution? Daniel Webster coined the original Green Dragon Tavern as the "Headquarters of the Revolution". Whether discussing politics of our times or personal matters of significance, you might find yourself identifying and working towards a revolutionary cause of your own that leads to positive change in our world.
· Our tavern is more than a traditional tavern. It has become a dining hot spot with a thriving local community presence. GDT&M's culinary team provides a refreshing and savory New England inspired American comfort cuisine menu to guests dining in our Tavern and Dining Room (see Menu tab). Our hearty portions range in offerings from starters to soups and salads. Our fan favorites are our New England clam chowder, onion rings, sweet potato fries, pretzel bites, bacon wrapped scallops, house made hummus, flat bread pizza and our New England chopped chicken salad to name a few. As an entrée, from fresh fish to filet mignon, we offer an impressive array of dining options that will surely meet your palate and price point. From Maine lobster rolls (New England, Connecticut and house inspired options), our Paul Revere hamburger made with our bacon cured in house, our heavily meat-portioned pan seared crab cakes to our filet mignon and Maine lobster tail surf & turf dinner accompanied by seasonal vegetables and truffle oil mac & cheese, we are confident you will have a revolutionary dining experience. As we are going on our sixth month of operations, stay tuned for exciting menu additions and new seasonal specials. If you have visited us already, you know to save room for dessert! Our house made S'mores served in a cast iron dish that can easily feed 4 people was ranked by the Union Tribune as one of the top 25 desserts in San Diego. If you are not an avid fan of freshly made marshmallows, rich chocolate ganache and house made graham cracker crust, then try our apple hand pie with accompanying vanilla ice cream and salted caramel sauce. Martha Washington would have been proud to provide us with apples from Mt. Vernon! We now offer Sunday brunch featuring our lobster or crab cake benedict with our rich house made hollandaise sauce.
· GDT&M offers 20 craft beers on tab (tap) and a growing bottle selection. We rotate several of our taps regularly to promote and offer the many refreshing local and domestic craft beers making history in its own right with San Diego leading the beer revolution. After all, who can debate one of the greatest innovators inhour (our) history, Benjamin Franklin, who famously stated, "Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."
If wine is your passion, we offer a growing and impressive wine selection. We carefully select wines that range from popular to not found in stores. Whether you are looking for a favorite brand or a discerning connoisseur hoping to try something new, our wine list will surely please. Our handcrafted wood wine display offers a 1,000-bottle capacity that we are filling with the utmost discretion to quality on a regular basis. The relationship between wine and historic events has been intertwined for centuries. We will look forward to providing you with a historic dining experience.
Open for lunch and dinner from 11:30 A.M. daily and for Sunday brunch at 10:30 A.M. on Sundays
Fun fact: Dragons held a prominent role in cultures spanning across continents from Asia to Europe. Many establishments in England still maintain the word dragon in their name. It is believed that the Green Dragon Tavern was named after the copper dragon hanging over the building's exterior door, which when the copper oxidized turned a patina green color. Our copper dragon, made of Revere copper (as in Paul Revere who left the Green Dragon Tavern on his famous ride to Lexington and Concord to notify Patriots of the British coming "One if by land, "two if by sea" to seize their arms), is beginning to show the signs of oxidation.

There are Some Foods that you can Share with your Dog
Today we are going to talk about a sensitive subject that concerns the animal lovers and animal keepers. To face the truth – we all give our pets little treats every now and then, even though they get regular meals during the day.
However, we should consider their health before giving them something that we can easily digest, for it may not be that good for them. French fries, a cookie or chips is not good for us and neither it is for them!
Foods that you can Share with your Dog
Thankfully, some human foods are fit for animals too! The animals need all the nutrients the humans do, but not all healthy foods for human are healthy foods for pets.
For an example, raisins and chocolate shout not be given to animals for they pose a threat to their health and may lead to a higher toxicity risk.
What you also need to be aware of is that the animals, just like the humans, can be allergic to a certain type of foods.
Believe it or not, they can be sensitive to certain products or ingredients, such as wheat, soy, and even corn. In order to avoid all of this and focus on maintaining the health of your pet, whether it is a dog, a cat or a bird, you have come to the right place.
Health should always come first, so this is why we have comprised a list of 10 foods you should absolutely give to your pet in order to improve its overall health. Let's begin now:
1. Carrots – no wonder that dogs love carrots. They are packed with natural sweetness as well as the Vitamins A and C, which contributes to a better coat and healthier eyes.
The carrots are also considered to be a great source of fiber for pets and for humans, so this means both of you can enjoy a raw or a cooked carrot. You can even have it as a snack, dipped in raw almond butter.
2. Pumpkin – this is another wonderful foods for dogs as well as humans. The pumpkin provides the same nutrients carrots do, and is perfect for controlling the digestive system.
You can enjoy the pumpkin any time of the year. You can serve it with a butternut squash for yourself and in combination with fish or meat for your pet.
You can bake the pumpkin into muffins, make homemade treats for your pet and so on.
3. Millet – this is actually a seed, but it also cooks up just like a grain. Because it is an excellent source of minerals for both animals and humans, it is a favorite seed among birds.
The raw seeds can be given to the birds, and the cooked seeds can be mixed with dog food or made into home made treats for your pet.
The millet has a sweet, nutty flavor and is favorable among humans too, mainly for its density in nutrients and being great for fighting an inflammation.
4. Green peas – they are not just fun for consuming, dogs tend to love them! They provide proteins, minerals and digestive fiber.
The green peas are considered to be a great legume for humans because of their low calorie level and high nutrient level. Also, humans tolerate green peas better than any larger beans.
5. Peanut butter – if your pet doesn't have a peanut allergy, a natural peanut butter is an excellent option for it. Mix it into their food, bake it into a treat, or even give it to them directly from a spoon, they will love it.
Now, when it comes to cats, they are not big fans of it, but some of the bird treats are made with peanut butter and they can be easy to digest.
The humans can benefit from the peanut butter as well, for it contains iron, magnesium and B vitamins. It can boost your mood and energy levels, as well as your pets mood.
The healthy fats in the peanut butter can improve the efficiency of absorbing fat-soluble vitamins.
6. Sweet potatoes – they are a healthy source of carbs which are not only good for you, but they are good for your dog too!
They enhance the digestion in humans as well as dogs, and they are filled with nutrients among which Vitamins A and C, B vitamins, magnesium, potassium and iron.
7. Oats – this food is a classic. Contains iron and protein, is very easy to digest, and is a great source of fiber too.
The oats can be made into anything, from oatmeal to healthy cookies. Humans add the oats into their smoothies, and for dogs they can be added instead of other grains in their food.
Enjoy them every day, for the oats are filled with nutrients which will contribute to a great boost to your nervous system, mood, heart and metabolism.
8. Coconut oil – dogs adore the coconut oil and you could let them enjoy a tablespoon of it each day. Because the animals need more percentage of healthy fats, the dogs can't overdose from the coconut oil, unlike the people, who can.
The fats from the coconut oil provide the dogs with energy, a healthier mood and improve the overall look of their coat.
The one thing you need to remember here is try using extra virgin coconut oil, raw or organic, to get the best results.
9. Fish – another great source of lean protein is the fish, but this is for humans. When it comes to dogs, whether it is tuna or salmon, or any other type of lean fish, or even broiled or baked seafood will do your pet good.
This is a great option for your dog or cat. The fish is an excellent source of iron, potassium, magnesium, healthy fats, B vitamins, and is also low in saturated fats, and depends on which fish you choose, it can offer you some Vitamin D and E. make sure you stay away from the fried form of fish, and keep it away from your pet too, and always prefer cooking it in order to avoid any form of potential food poisoning and toxins.
10. Berries – whether it is a strawberry, blueberry, raspberry or blackberry, your dog will eat it up in a second. The berries are gentle to the digestive system and are very easy to eat.
They are considered to be a great source of Vitamin C, antioxidants which are amazing for the health of the brain and the heart, and the best food when it comes to maintaining a healthy blood sugar levels.
Because the dried berries contain more sugar and are more difficult to chew, always pick the fresh option for your pet.
If you happen to enjoy berries too, we recommend the same for you – choose fresh berries instead of the dried ones.
So there they are – the 10 best foods which you and your pet can enjoy together. You should definitely give them a try.
This way you create a better grocery list for yourself and take care of the health of your pet in the same time! It is a very good option, and your dog will notice the difference, and so will you.
You will both lead a healthier lifestyle. So get ready and go to the nearest store immediately! Are you aware that a healthy and happy life is only a few bites away from you?
Start as soon as possible, your pet as well as your body will both be thankful you made this decision!

text: I was watching on the Travel Chanel or Food Chanel or some place about Franklin and Miller's in Austin. Franklin smokes meat and Miller says he bbqs not smokes meat. That was a big revelation to me because although I've been at this for 10 years, I never thought of it that way. I know true BBQ includes smoke but it's not necessarily "smoking meat", although your meat does get smoked. For example Franklin will use the offset and let it run for over 15 hours for a brisket and if I recall correctly Miller will have his brisket done in a fraction of the time. I've never been to either of these places so I don't know if Miller's would turn out really moist and tender like a full smoke session like Franklin would be. Okay now to my question about the Salt Lick. You guessed it, I've never been to any of these places so all I get to do is learn about these places on TV and on the net. The Salt Lick looks like BBQing too rather than smoking meat. Not that that's a bad thing but the question is, is the Salt Lick smoking meat or BBQing? I've been at this for 10 years like I say but I'm still a rookie compared to most of you that's why I ask such questions. Also, don't mean to insult any Texans but doesn't the Salt Lick look like Santa Maria style like we have out here in California? It's on a grill or grate over the wood just like Santa Maria and if I'm not mistaken I think the Salt Lick gets to raise and lower the grill/grate too. Sorry for the newbie questions but I'm curious. My fascination with BBQ and smoking meat just grows by the day. In fact, I have never been interested in Santa Maria style ever but recently I started to, so today I made my first Santa Maria style tri tip. Turned out good but I learned some things I need to work on and improve for next time. I prefer brisket over tri tip any day but I thought it would be fun to do. I will do this again until I get it right. Thanks ... James

He seems to have gone MIA. I hope he and his family are alright.
Yeah, noticed that he hasn't posted in awhile. Checked his last post and it was on Sept 9. I hope it's not something bad
I know when something comes up (bad happens) you think that first and an online forum is of very little thought, lol. But sometimes, for the regular I interact with, I wish that they make a post saying that they will be going away from the forum due to personal issues.
I know that when people do post that they are going away from the forums, there are those that critisize them for being an 'attention whore'. I don't really see it that way and appreciate that they took their time to tell the people they are leaving.
Although most of us don't know each other other than through the posts, there's still a sense of comradery. I always wonder what happened to the people I interact with when I don't see them posting in the Nexus forum anymore. Though I do find a few in other phones forum, lol. I'll be like 'oh! They use to have a Nexus' lol.
Well this was just my random thought...don't mind me
I actually met a few good people i talk now outside of af on a regular basis
You mean AF friends that you talk to outside of the forums.
Indeed. A few of them see common names around here
i hope we hear from him soon...
we need the good members like him
Yea, he was always helpful and positive. Hope all is well with him.

Madrid, Sep 17 (IANS) Atletico Madrid look in top shape ahead of their Champions League football debut Wednesday night.
Diego Pablo Simeone's side go into the match against Zenit St. Petersburg with a 100 percent record in the start to their BBVA Primera Liga campaign and sit proudly alongside Barcelona with 12 points from four matches, reports Xinhua.
The 14 goals Atletico have scored in those four matches is the most productive start to a campaign since the 1955-56 season. That was so long ago, Atletico were still playing in their former Metropolitan Stadium, and it is a measure of how times change, that the club is now preparing to abandon its current home, the Vicente Calderon to move to the Peineta (Olympic) Stadium in 2016.
Last Saturday saw Atletico brush past a recently promoted Almeria 4-2 with goals from David Villa, Diego Costa, Thiago and Raul Garcia and the final result was actually less flattering for Atletico than it deserved to be as they were superior in all areas.
Simeone will be without one of the architects of the weekend win as Diego Costa is suspended after being sent off in a Europa League game last season. Costa may play on the limit of what is acceptable on a football field, but the fact is that he is a constant threat with his ability to hold up the ball, take on rivals and provoke reactions from rival defenders.
Either Adrian Lopez or Leo Baptistao will take Costa's place in the starting 11 while Joao Miranda should have recovered to partner Godin in the centre of the Atletico defense.
It will be a special match for their goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois, who will make his long awaited Champions League debut. The young Belgian, who is on this third season on loan from Chelsea, has been one of Atletico's key players during that time and has already helped his side conquer the Europa League, the European Supercup and the Spanish Copa del Rey, but admits this is special.
"I didn't imagine that I would win so many titles in such a short time. You always hope to win something when you sign for a club like Atletico, but I didn't expect it to happen so fast," he admitted, before highlighting the ambition at the club.
"We always want to try and win more, but at the same time we know we have to try and remain humble," he said.
"I have come a long way and I hope to continue improving at the club," added Courtois.

After weeks and weeks of waiting, the filler episodes of "Naruto Shippuden" are finally coming to an end with Episode 450, titled "Rival". "Jiraiya Shinobi Handbook: The Tale of Naruto the Hero arc" served to prove that regardless of the timeline, Sasuke Uchiha would have always go down the evil path.
However, he rectified his mistakes in "The Shinobi Unite", where his sense prevailed and stopped him from making the disastrous mistake of destroying the village. He did get a little help from his dead brother Itachi, but ultimately he joined his old comrades in defeating Sasori's puppets.
After the fight, Naruto had asked his old friend to return and Sasuke relented, adding that he will change the world in his own way. However, he was so far gone that despite being back, Sasuke will find it hard to cope with his old pals.

In the promo for "Rival", Naruto is seen promising Sasuke he will bring his friend back. He reminds Sasuke of the first time they met. A young Naruto and Sasuke are seen coming across each other for the first time at the Academy entrance ceremony, and while Naruto has his beaming smile, Sasuke is scowling, his stone-faced father by his side.
"Rival" will mark the end of Jiraiya Ninja Scrolls, and subsequently, episodes of "Itachi Shinden Book: Light and Darkness arc: Part 1" will begin. Episode 451, titled "Life is Born, Life Dies" will be aired Thursday, March 3, 2016.
Watch Season 20 Episode 450 of "Naruto Shippuden" at 7:30 p.m. (JST) Thursday, Feb. 18. You can also live-stream "Rival" via Crunchyroll, JPplayer and NarutoSpot.

It is equipped with 2 projector screens for slides and videos and a 4-language simultaneous interpretation system. AV Hall can also be utilized for academic conferences, events, other school activities.
In April 1999, the Ikuta Structural Test Building was completed in the Meiji University Ikuta Campus. This test building was built and established as a result of the selection of a research project by the Ministry of Education Science Frontier Concept (in 1998) entitled, "Building structures tolerant of intense vibration and research on the improvement of the seismic capacity of structures in machinery".
In the machine shop, students can carry out work practice using various machinery tools that have been made available, such as a general-purpose lathe and a milling machine. In addition, computer numerical controlled (CNC) lathes and milling machines, high-precision molding and grinding machines, and electrical and wire-cut discharge machines are utilized widely as experimental equipment during students' graduation research work.

Lord Whitty: My Lords, of the 306 Conservative candidates who put their names forward for the Daily Mail's Euro-sceptic battle for Britain, 234 were rejected by the electors of Britain on 1st May. The Labour Party received an overwhelming mandate for its position on the intergovernmental conference and the rather bizarre call now by some elements on the Front Bench opposite--though I notice that it was not repeated by the noble Lord, Lord Moynihan--for a referendum at this point cannot be accepted. Nobody in the Conservative Party called for a referendum on the much more far-reaching provisions of the Treaty of Maastricht.
Perhaps I may now come to the area of foreign and defence policies. The noble Viscount objected to the decision-making process proposed. He opposed the concept of constructive abstention. I thought for a moment that he opposed it simply because he thought that it was a French invention, but he has either probably mistranslated or misunderstood the provision.
Constructive abstention only applies in a system of unanimity in those areas where unanimity is still provided by the treaty. That decision is at the discretion of the member state. If a member state truly feels that its central national interest is threatened, it would vote against and therefore prevent that aspect of common foreign and security policy going ahead. However, if it feels less strongly about it, it can engage in constructive abstention. That is a very sensible way forward for the development of foreign and security policy which has been seriously lacking in Europe, with tragic results, as we have seen. There has been a lack of co-ordination between the great powers of Europe on, for example, Bosnia and, more recently, the Great Lakes situation. The decision-making improvements on common foreign and security policy are vitally important.
So far as concerns defence, I said that we resisted the Franco-German proposals in that area and any extension of the EU proposals to take over the WEU would require unanimity. Therefore, we are in exactly the same position in real terms as we were after the Treaty of Maastricht, which was, of course, supported by the party opposite.
I come to the democratic aspects of the agenda, which some noble Lords have queried. The noble Lord, Lord Bruce, in particular, was concerned about scrutiny by national parliaments. The noble Lord, Lord Tordoff, and his committee, to whose work I pay tribute, have long sought a longer period of consultation for national parliaments. We have achieved that with a minimum six-week notice period. I trust that that will be observed.
Democracy for us on this side of the House and accountability to European institutions do not include just national parliaments but include also the European Parliament. I was glad that the noble Baroness, Lady Elles, who was concerned about some aspects of the Parliament, nevertheless underlined that point, as did the noble Lord, Lord Bethell. I believe that it is right that the European Parliament should effectively control the actions of the Commission and the Council when it acts collectively. The national parliaments must be the bodies which control the actions of their Ministers in signing up to agreements within the Council of Ministers.
The European Parliament's legislative role has been enhanced, as noble Lords said, by extending the co-decision procedure. We believe that that is right and we support it. We also supported streamlining of the co-decision-making procedure.
More recently, on 17th July, we announced our intention to legislate in the current Session of Parliament for the use of a regional list of PR for the 1999 Euro-elections. I say to my noble friend Lord Stoddart that consultation on that issue has been the widest consultation of all. After all, it was put to the electorate in our election manifesto. Indeed, it has been Labour Party policy since 1993, I think--I should know the date and I am pretty sure that it is correct--when we agreed to the proposal in the report put forward by my noble friend Lord Plant of Highfield. Not only will that improve the representativeness of the British contribution to the European Parliament; it will also increase the legitimacy of the European Parliament as a whole, in which the distorted British contribution has sometimes been queried by other member states.
There are other aspects of democracy which have been improved: openness and transparency; references to the Committee of the Regions made by my noble friend Lord Ponsonby; and the human rights issue, which the noble Lord, Lord Bethell, correctly represented in the first part of what he said, although I think that he got slightly lost on the procedure thereafter. We need to ensure that there is a fundamental part of the treaty which says that only democratic states and those states which remain democratic can be party to the European Union.
At one stage in the debate I thought that I would not have to deal with the tortuous area of flexibility, but the noble Lord, Lord Thomas, raised that matter in his contribution. To some extent, it was the dog that hardly barked during the Amsterdam process. But the form of flexibility that we have agreed is relatively limited. It is flexibility by the consent of those who do not choose to participate in the enhanced co-operation that is proposed. There are a number of barriers to it. It cannot undermine the single market and it cannot undermine the acquis communautaire.
Of course, there were some failures. We failed on the institutional side to agree the size of the Commission or the reweighting of votes. But we came close to agreement. The noble Lord, Lord Moynihan, asked me why. One slightly flip answer is to say that we did not reach that item until four o'clock in the morning. It may be that the heads of government of other states were not quite as alert at that point as my honourable friend the Prime Minister. I agree to some extent with what the noble Lord, Lord Stoddart, said about the ludicrous way in which such vitally important strategic decisions are sometimes taken. But we were close to agreement. I do not believe, whatever is said in Agenda 2000, that we shall require a full-blown IGC to put that right before enlargement. We shall need some new decisions on reweighting and on the size of the Commission before enlargement takes place. But that will not involve totally rewriting the treaty.
There were certain other items which are not strictly treaty issues and with which I suppose that I should briefly deal. Let me just say a quick word about ratification. Following certain technical amendments, we expect that the treaty will be signed formally in early October. After that, primary legislation will be needed before the UK ratifies it. We anticipate that a Bill will need to add to the list of Community treaties in the European Communities Acts all those parts of the new treaty, including the new protocols, except for those which deal purely with intergovernmental issues. So, the noble Earl, Lord Carlisle, will be gratified to know that we shall have substantial debates on the treaty in this House before ratification.
I turn to the non-treaty issues which were raised. I do not believe that I have the time to deal with the whole issue of enlargement, which requires a separate debate. I shall not say much about monetary union either. The noble Lord, Lord Thomson, said that the Chancellor was full of surprises but I do not intend to spring any on his behalf tonight. The Government's position is known. It is unlikely that we shall be ready to join a single currency in 1999, but we will keep the options open. That remains the position. If we decide to go in at any time, we shall have a referendum on that issue.
On quota hopping we have achieved some measure of improvement by an agreement with the Commission in Amsterdam. We can now specify and enforce the economic links. We can now specify and enforce the rules which will ensure that benefits flow to our fishing communities. We will now have an assurance from the Commission that the review of the common fisheries policy after 2002 will take into account the particular position of the British fleet. We have held talks with the fishing industry on all these matters and it is aware of that position. It welcomes the progress that has been made, although it does not regard it as sufficient. Obviously, it is not entirely satisfied.
But I have to ask where the blame rests for that situation. We made some progress in Amsterdam, after all. But the inherited position was rather appalling.
The fishermen of Britain have not been well served by the previous government. Frankly, we had to make the best of a bad job and we have made some progress. At least it is progress and not empty rhetoric.
One of the strongest and most positive things to say about the IGC process is that at last it is over. The obsession with institutional minutiae has distorted the debate about Europe for too long. Despite what the noble Lord, Lord Beloff, said, I believe that the European Union and its predecessors has had great achievements. We now need to take those forward into the next century. We can concentrate on the vital areas that Europe needs to address: enlargement; reform of the CAP; a new financial secretary--at least financial settlement; and, of course, monetary union.
Underlying all that is the competitiveness of Europe, the unemployment situation in Europe, the completion of the single market and the fight to protect the global environment. All of those will be challenges to the British presidency in only six months time. But with the normalisation of our relations with Europe that Amsterdam represents; with a realism about Europe's ambitions; and with the UK now back at the centre of Europe and the British Government looked to by our partners as a source of leadership and not a source of problems, we are confident that we in that presidency can rise to that challenge. I commend the Motion to the House.
On Question, Motion agreed to.

So you already know that whatever claims are made, there aren't actually any "one size fits all" magic treatments that bring business to your door in droves.
So, how can you work smarter?
I hope the following insight through hands-on experience provides some food for thought.
Know your targets
Not only about their industry, markets, challenges and issues, but also who they are as people. What switches them on? Where do they hang out – at industry or networking events? Behind a desk? On Linkedin or Twitter? Reach out to your targets in the places they are most like to be, and where they are most comfortable.
Tailor your content
Base it on your observations. Be concise. Be clear on why you're getting in touch and what you want from them. Make your content engaging and compelling, not desperate: more a meeting of minds.
Be creative
Don't take the easy route of email every time, not only is it a very competitive spam-heavy channel, it's dull and there might be a better way of standing apart. Think about your audience. As individuals with different tastes and interests, we should apply more thought to how we approach cold targets. Emails do work for some, direct contact with others, printed colourful material or even cakes can have the desired memorable effect.
Keep your messages fresh
Approach prospects with insightful relevant information, whether industry-led or a new case study you feel will be of interest. Also be persistent — contact every eight weeks is just about right.
Use a mixture of push and pull methods to engage
Offer to drop by or meet at an event. Invite them to visit you to get a feel for the culture of your business. Challenge them to trial you to see what they're missing.
Be seen
Get involved in industry events to showcase your expertise and approach. Blog regularly and ensure your targets can find you easily — just as you research them, they will undoubtedly want to check you out thoroughly before welcoming you in.

The appearance of your teeth is heavily impacted by the position of the surrounding gum tissue. In a normal situation, two teeth that are side by side in your mouth have contact with each other. Below this contact, the area is filled in with gum tissue in the shape of a triangle. This triangular-shaped gum tissue is called the papilla. It is not uncommon to have an empty space in the area where the papilla is supposed to be. If this occurs, the result is perceived as a black space.
They are caused by a loss of the gum tissue itself or by the shape and/or position of the teeth. For any black space that is present, the first thing that needs to be done is to diagnose what caused it to occur. Once this is done, the restorative dentistry treatment choice can be made. The best decision will be the most conservative treatment that corrects the black space.
One of the most common causes of loss of gum tissue is due to the gum disease known as periodontitis. This gum disease acts on the supporting bone around the teeth, causing a loss of bone. This loss of bony support causes the papilla to slump and flatten, creating a black space between the teeth. The first step in treating the resulting black space in this situation is to treat the cause. Once the gum disease is under control, the black spaces can then be addressed with restorative dentistry.
To remove the black spaces, the teeth need to have restorations placed that will change the shape of the teeth and fill in this space. The type of restorative dentistry can vary depending on whether or not there are any other problems with the teeth. The simplest and most conservative restoration is composite, a tooth-colored filling material. It can be bonded directly on the tooth in the area of the black space. Since it is placed only in the affected area, the situation where this is used requires that the overall appearance of the tooth is acceptable and does not need to be changed.
If the overall appearance of the tooth needs to be altered, then a different type of restorative dentistry needs to be used. The choice is either a dental veneer or a dental crown. The choice between the two depends on both the appearance and the structural changes that need to be done. Usually, to correct a black space, both teeth on either side need to be restored. In doing this, the symmetry between the teeth will remain the same. If you restored just one tooth, you would end up with one tooth being wider than the other. The advantage of using restorative dentistry to correct black spaces is that it usually results in a shorter treatment time.
Another cause of the black space is due to the position of the teeth themselves. One example is teeth that are tilted towards each other. When this occurs, the area for your gum tissue to fill becomes too large for the amount of tissue you have. This same concept may occur with certain types of tooth shapes. In these instances, the restorative dentistry treatment of choice is to use orthodontics (braces) to align the teeth. The advantage of doing this is that the black space will disappear without having to do any restorations on the teeth.

Everyone knows Mona Lisa's smile, but who knows what she meant by it?
Psychologists tell us that, in our ancient past, a smile was a gesture of appeasement. They also believe that, to modern man, a smile signals many different messages - recognition, sympathy, apology, lessening of tension, confusion, embarrassment, doubt, joy, delight. A smile, social observers agree, is a mask behind which we can hide our true feelings.
This mask is a complex gesture. First the corners of the lips curl upward. Then, as the smile grows, front teeth are exposed. In our culture we consider people with glistening white teeth and a beautiful smile to be "good" people. Bad teeth, on the other hand, tend to distort the smile "message" because, curiously, we subconsciously judge others by their teeth.
Some people believe that teeth are a more important element of beauty than the eyes.
Have you noticed that, in the movies and on TV, the "good guys" never have broken teeth or a missing tooth? The "bad guys" almost always do.
Nearly all dentistry affects our appearance, and our appearance affects our sense of personal worth. Among the many things that a cosmetic dentist can do to give you a beautiful smile are:
So … cosmetic dentists are scientists, clinicians, artists and image-makers!

New Yorks most expensive house has gone on sale for a whopping $90million (£56million).
The mansion in Manhattans opulent Upper East Side boasts ten bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, three kitchens, a wood-panelled library, an elevator, a gym and a garden.
If you think the asking price is a tad steep you could always choose to rent it for a more moderate $210,000 (£130,000) a month.
Fancy living here? The New York townhouse's asking price is a record-breaking $90million
Should someone stump up the cash, it would smash apart the previous record holder, held by The Harkness Mansion at 4 East 75 Street, which billionaire J. Christopher Flowers bought for $53million (£32million) five years ago
Should someone stump up the cash, it would smash apart the previous record holder, held by The Harkness Mansion at 4 East 75 Street, which billionaire J. Christopher Flowers bought for $53million (£32million) five years ago.
The French Gothic mansion on East 80 Street was built in the early 1900s by dime store magnate Frank Winfield Woolworth for his daughter, Helena. It is nestled between two other mansions he also had built at 2 and 6 East 80 Street for his other daughters Edna and Jessie. The two other townhouses remain intact also.
They were all constructed by the architect Charles Pierpont Henry Gilbert who designed city and country homes for the wealthy.
Opulent: The house was completed in 1916 for Frank Woolworth's middle daughter, Helena
Pre-war: It has been completely renovated to a pre-war design and has 10 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms and three kitchens
If the mansion sells for the $90million asking price it will beat previous New York record holder The Harkness Mansion sold for $53million in 2006
The house, which at 35ft wide has been completely renovated into a pre-war style, was bought in 1995 for a mere $6million (£3.7million) by the late gym magnate Lucille Roberts when it was used as a mens gym.
Stretching over more than 18,000 square feet, the new owners will be able to comfortably a dinner party, thanks to the dining room which seats over 50.
New York townhouse super-broker Paula Del Nunziom from Brown Harris Stevens, will be attempting the massive sale and has written up a lavish description.
She starts: Completed in 1916, the imposing limestone façade of this neo-French Renaissance mansion features a central foyer opening to a grand entry hall providing access to the main residence.
With a massive fireplace, the enormous entry includes three closets and an elegant powder room, access to a kitchen in the rear as well as the wide landing of the grand master staircase.
But Del Nunziom need not worry. She was responsible for The Harkness Mansion sale in 2006 for $53million (£32million) and since 2007 has sold 43 townhouses worth a combined $700million (£433million).
So, why the enormous asking price?
She explains: While the other great mansions that have come on the market in New York have been shells requiring total renovation, this is the only mansion to be formally available that has been fully renovated in a traditional prewar style.

The 70-year-old letter details the Queen Mother's refusal to receive Mrs Simpson at Buckingham Palace almost three years after the abdication of Edward VIII, who gave up the throne to marry the twice-divorced American socialite.
In the letter, written on October 2, 1939, on crested Buckingham Palace writing paper to Prince Paul Karageorgevich of Yugoslavia, the Queen Mother, then 39, refers to the snub in businesslike fashion.
It place when Mrs Simpson and her husband, the Duke of Windsor, visited England from their exile in France immediately after the outbreak of the Second World War in September 1939.
The Queen wrote: "I had taken the precaution to send her a message before they came, saying that I was sorry I could not receive her - I thought it more honest to make things quite clear. So she kept away and nobody saw her."
The 14-page letter, published in the Mail on Sunday, offers an insight into the mind of the Queen Mother, who only gave one interview during her lifetime. It confirms the view she had of the women she always called "Mrs S", refusing to acknowledge her title Duchess of Windsor.
Historian Andrew Roberts, author of The House of Windsor, said: "This letter confirms what has long been suspected: the Queen Mother hated Mrs Simpson.
"After the abdication, she didn't speak to her again until the Duke of Windsor's funeral in 1972 by which time, in her words, all passion was spent.
"In the immediate aftermath of the abdication the Queen Mother was very happy that the Windsors left England and didn't want to see them again, as this letter indicates."

Can you see where we can reduce our outgoings?(72 Posts)
Our outgoings are £1480pm incl bills, shopping, fuel etc. Our income is £1676pm which doesn't give us much wriggle room. I'll breakdown our outgoings below.
If anyone can see where we can shave costs or remove them completely please say and offer help. We're finding it really hard to live.
Car expenses (tax, ins): 80
Tv/broadband/phone: 45
TV licence: 13
Gas/elec: 100
Council tax: 111
Mortgage: 437 (soon to be 480)
Water (metered): 70
CSA (variable): 171
Breakdown: 8Mobile: 22
House insurance: 18
Shopping (incl topups): 300
Petrol: 75
DH work subs: 30
I think that should add up, I do try to be as frugal as possible but it doesn't seem to come down any.
Any advice will be really welcomed
Have you tried a market or wholesaler for your fruit and veg? My friend does this and her veg is soo cheap compared to tesco prices. We also have a local greengrocer/deli who deliver a massive fruit and veg box for £10. I always thought that would be more expensive that way but it works out really good value.
I see you have a seperate budget too...it might help if you budgetted everything together then people can maybe see other places savings could be made.
Are you both working or just one of you? What age are your dc?
water -
Shower every three days/other day with a strip wash in between.
Get in the habit of changing out of 'good' clothes (school, work etc) or wearing aprons etc to reduce your laundry.
fruit and veg -
what can you grow? some stuff is really easy
allegedly - I find potatoes, raspberries, rhubarb, gooseberries, blackcurrants and even strawberries are genuinely easy, broad beans not bad, runner beans harder work but produce massive amounts, could you get plants/bushes given to you as presents? Also get onto the blackberries on August 1st and store as much as you can. Try and stay seasonal or stick to tinned/frozen if you can't bear it any more.
No you don't need a TV license for I player unless you are watching something live as it airs.
I would also include all benefits in total income. It's much higher than you show if you include that
'Shower every three days with a strip wash inbetween' - ugh, can't think of anything worse, would rather cut costs elsewhere.
Although as I said up thread, your water bill does seem high, we pay less than that for 6 of us.
Our mortgage is low and for that I am very thankful, we were given an inheritance which paid off a chunk, we couldn't have afforded this otherwise.
Our house ins is both buildings and contents, but we'd really not lose it where possible. My childhood home flooded and of we didn't have B&C we'd have been scuppered.
We don't have a market locally- it's such a shame. There's a great greengrocer in town that's cheap and lots are locally sourced
I'm a SAHM but looking to restart my degree soon. My DC are 7 and 2 and we all change into house clothes when we get in. DS2 is still in the grubby toddler stage unfortunately and I cloth nappy and that bumps up water usage.
South West water prices are extortionate: www.southwestwater.co.uk/charges2014 unmetered rates are
We grow lots in our borders- potatoes, peas, onions, spinach, carrots, runner beans, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, blackcurrant, rhubarb. Love seasonal produce we only have narrow borders but we've packed a lot in. Our front border is laid out to herbs.
I know this isn't what you asked - but is there any way you could increase your income? The MSE forum is very good on tips for this.
If I were you I'd do a "two pronged" approach. Do as you. are in trying to reduce expexpenditure whilst also trying to bring on more income.
Sorry about typos - fat fingers on phone!
See if you can switch energy providers, we pay £76/month for gas & electric for three of us in a 2 bed house. You could also try swapping down one brand in the supermarket eg if you buy own brand try value version instead. Also check to see if you are missing out on any benefits you are entitled to, you never know you could be missing out extra income.
Good luck, I hope you can make some savings.
I am trying to find work that I can do around DHs shifts so that I can cut costs as childcare would outstrip wages. I am trying to sell everything I can too. Will have a look at MSE and see what's there. Thanks!
My 'personal' finances per month are:
Swimming lessons: £50ish
Mobile: £19
DC climbing: £40
Monthly toddler classes: £6
School lunch: £10
Travel: £20
DS1 has Cricket club but thankfully it's a one off payment and he doesn't need kit yet!
I've not added any clothing/school subs expenses as they vary so widely each month.
I will cut my phone back once I'm out of contract, the phones are our only Internet access at the moment as our laptops have both died and can't afford to replace yet.
Thanks for everyone's help and advice
Agree that water is v high. I pay about 300 pa on a meter. Three of us - dishwasher and washing machine every day almost and a shower every day for me and the DCs share a bath when I can be bothered.
Is it leaking somewhere invisible ? Are you watering the garden? Inefficient washing machine?
All White goods are under 3y/o as they all died within a few months of each other. We have a new boiler too to reduce water usage. Our house is over 3 floors and we have 11 radiators so that's contributing to the cost.
There's no leak between the meter and house that we can see. Our old house was half the size and we paid £50pm. SWW is really expensive- we pay for the coastline. We also have water butts where possible and toilets use the minimum water we can get away with. I even use the water left in drinks bottles to water the houseplants.
We paid half the water rates in the SE and that wasn't metered!
Can't see if you are on a water meter or not but it's usually cheaper to be and if you can't be for some reason they have to put you on an payment schedule that is usually cheaper than the ratable value version of your water bill.
I have a flat that I rent out (2bed ) and Thames water were charging more for the water bill there with one person resident than for my metered three bed house with 3 of us and with washing machine and dishwasher going every day and garden to water. It's because the flat isn't meterable so they basically just send you a massive bill until you request to go on this special tariff based on average use for equivalent households.
Sorry x post. Horrified by SW water!
Are the DC old enough to do a paper round or wash cars at weekends? I know it sounds like it won't help much, but if they could get enough to cover some fruit and veg and their 'treats' from the shopping it could help?
Do definitely go on mse. They have a board (I think) juston how to increase your income. I've not been on it for a while myself but some of the tips I remember are:
Quidco, ebay, clicks, surveys etc.
There will be loads more. It's things you can do outside the obvious paid work. And some of it (such as quidco) is basically money for nothing. So it all helps!
TV a nd mobile too expensive, try and change that. See if you can change or even upgrade your bank account to get free things like insurance on breakdown or anything.
Packed lunches and free leisure pursuits are what I see from your last post.
I and many above feel your pain.
Nothing to add other than be careful of breakdown cover that's attached to mobile contract or banking, most of them have very tight clauses- eg a five mile tow rule, so they tow you to the nearest garage but their obligation ends there.
Always read the smallprint and t&cs
DC are only 2 and 7 so not quite at the earning potential age just yet. Will be getting DS1 to help with the older neighbours but it's not a paid thing.
There's not much in the way of free leisure activities here apart from the beach- which we make good use of when it's dry.
The local youth centre has been closed down so the main cheap leisure activities have been lost. It's so frustrating.
Our bank gives ys free travel insurance but we've never used it and it's not worth the paper it's written on. It expires for good in September now but we're needing to change banks with mortgage lenders.
Ds1 only has one school lunch a week, on days when he has swimming lessons to save on me cooking when we get home.
I was just looking at a new mobile contract- they're so expensive if you need a new handset. It's a lot more than I'm paying now like for like. It's shocked me!
House insurance is due up next month so am going to try and cut that down if I can.
I appreciate all the advice here. Lots of food fpr thought!
Your Swimming lessons seem expensive, ours are £35 for ten weeks, perhaps you can cheaper ones if you try council pools?
Also £40pm on climbing seems extravagant when you're struggling.
Have you had a mortgage review with a no fee broker? It might not mean your costs go up - they have deals the banks don't and will be able to get you very cheap life insurance.
Also, have you used the tesco delivery options that give you x off a shop etc?
Would you be cheaper send DC1 to cubs or scouts than climbing?
It won't warn you loads but have you considered switching to a Santander 123 account as your bill-paying account? The monthly fee is £2 but we earn more than that in cash back and with water and gas/elec fees as high as yours I imagine you'd do well out of it?
Also we have the 123 credit card which we use only for groceries and petrol, again you get cash back, and you can link it to your 123 current account so it's unto sticky paid off in full every month. Makes checking bank balance etc bit more difficult as you have to mentally keep a tally of your spending.
Between the current account and credit card we get about £20 a month cash back net of fees - not loads, but it's money for nothing!
warn = earn
unto sticky = automatically
Stupid autocorrect
Do you need an all singing all dancing mobile? Really think about it - if you do absolutely need mobile internet when out and about then fair enough. If you don't then get a cheap handset (I've got Nokia 105, £20, no internet) and use PAYG. I use giffgaff.
I would review the need to spend £90 a month on swimming and climbing for your eldest.
I spend £40 / month on activities for both my children together, and I'm not trying to economise.

In today's Watch Me Wednesday, Dave discusses the value of Facebook fans. Here are the 3 criteria to look at when determining how valuable your fans are: 1) Who and where is the Facebook fan?
Location matters because when it comes to your product or service it is much more beneficial to have people in the right demographic and area
2) How influential is each individual fan?
Using sites such as Klout helps determine how influential your fans are. A fan who has 5,000 Facebook friends is much more valuable than a fan who has 500 friends
3) What is the value of a lifetime customer to you?
What product or service you have and how much value a lifetime customer has greatly determines how valuable each Facebook fan is
What else do you think matters in determining the value of a Facebook fan? Let us know in the comments!
