A year ago i have suggested to mobofree another feature..USER'S PERSONAL PUBLIC CHATROOM..a feature wherein any users will be able to create his/her own public chatroom..In this user's personal public chatroom should have an option wherein the owner of the room can be able to send invitation to other users and invitation will appear as pop up link towards the said chatroom...other options are lockin and unlocking of the roo, kicking unwanted bad users out of the room..color theme inside the room..same time whenever this room becomes empty for at least half hour the room will totaly vanish...i think this will add interest to chatters...but then this suggestion havent materialized til now...i presume that ITs have so much more suggestions to attend too..therefore i decided to make this as a topic which users can discuss...what are your opinions frnds??Edited by cr33pyface / 2 Mar 2015 15:18

nice suggestion my frnd but i think it should be much lower level...maybe level 3 or 4
cr33pyface 8 Mar 2015 16:31
hmm i think to make this feature easier to create maybe ITs just have to do some upgrading in private chatroom and add some tools inside the room...tools for the private room owner like lock/unlock, kick, invite and color themes.Edited by cr33pyface / 8 Mar 2015 16:32

White Ribbon Alliance
March 3, 2017By Zoe Matthews and Brigid McConville
Friends and colleagues around the world are mourning the loss of a passionate campaigner for the rights of women in childbirth, Louise Hulton, who has died of cancer aged 46 at her UK home. Louise was an energetic and inspirational leader who specialised in improving the health and care of women in childbirth and their newborn babies. She was a fierce advocate who believed in acting on the evidence.
She was also a devoted wife and mother.
The level of sadness and loss at the news of her death is widespread for she not only touched many lives, but also used every moment of her life to improve the lot of others. Starting off with a degree at Cambridge, followed by a Kennedy scholarship at Harvard, Louise was always eager to understand the suffering of the world around her, and ambitious to forge forward with effective solutions. Her PhD, based at Southampton University, set out the framework that would be the guiding light for her life's work to improve quality care in maternity services worldwide.
The idea behind her work was simple; to improve the health and survival chances of women in childbirth and their newborns we need to check up on and improve all aspects of care. This includes the quality of midwives and doctors, the physical surroundings and supplies in the hospital wards and not least the level of respect and dignity accorded to women during the whole process. Because if you need to work through a checklist before flying a plane – how is it not important to check methodically for all the needed ingredients before each and every birth? Always ahead of her time, fifteen years later the World Health Organisation has established the Hulton framework as the way forward for maternity services all around the world.
Louise also understood the pivotal role of advocacy in making change happen – by helping lift women's voices directly to decision-makers. From 2008, she actively joined up with the White Ribbon Alliance as we were successfully demanding that global leaders pay attention to the scandal of maternal death around the world. Through her work at Options and as Director of the Evidence4Action programme, she partnered with White Ribbon Alliance to focus on accountability for maternal health in Africa. She believed that every life counted, and every life – and death - must be counted.
After all, she knew from her own personal experience what it meant to suffer trauma in childbirth, and in the UK she was active in campaigning for maternity rights. Then in 2014 she was appointed to the Board of White Ribbon Alliance in the UK and took up the role of Chair of Trustees just before a recurrence of cancer made her take a step back.
But Louise did not let cancer get her down. For her it was a 'rude interruption' – a nuisance factor to be dealt with effectively and with energy and resources, but with little impact on the ongoing force of her work as a leader in international health.
It may seem strange to say that her death last Wednesday in Brighton was a huge shock, given that she had been diagnosed with terminal cancer some years ago. But to those of us that knew her – as well as to the many thousands of followers of her extraordinary cancer blog Cancer is Pants – it was just that. This was the woman who was going to beat cancer, the pioneering medical researcher who had charted her own path through a mix of innovative and traditional treatments, making informed decisions about risks and benefits while the rest of us looked on with amazement.
Louise was a shining light taken from us too early, when she had so much more to give. She is survived by her husband Rupert Howes, and their four children Ella, Tom, William and Ned.

VIDEO: Woman really, really doesn't want her car to get towed
SOMETIMES, you have to stand your ground and fight for what you believe.
That's the lesson learned from this plucky lady, who refused to accept the cards - or rather, parking ticket - she was dealt.
Reports claim the woman was parked illegally but refused to abandon her vehicle as it was, perhaps justifiably, towed away.
Like all monumental acts of civil disobedience, an element of bravery is required to stand up to "the man".
Particularly when your courageous act of civil disobedience entails being dragged behind a moving vehicle on the soles of your shoes down a busy city highway in Taiwan.
The clip went viral after being viewed by more than 50,000 people in just 24 hours.
"We call that bumper jumpin' in Canada", said one viewer, Mehster, "although we do generally tend to wait until it's snowed."
"I just drove by that area and she is still holding on to the car", joked Jake212.
Last month, a traffic warden was caught moving "no parking" signs in order to be able to write out tickets for unlucky motorists in Hull.
And farmers in the West Country came up with a novel way to remove an illegally parked car, using their tractor and a giant pair of cojones.

The Big Bad Theory – part 6on September 6, 2013 at 12:01 am
Yeah, Brainoz is a giant scam. It's 100% brain instead of 100% brain free… We'll get back to this in a bit.
I'm not sure if Zoey is in the back seat too or if she flew ahead. That'll be determined by how the next few strips come together when I flesh them out.
I purchased an awesome printer last night, it's being shipped still, but not having a printer that could do prints justice has been the thing that has kept me from offering them even after wanting to do them from time to time. This printer can do up to 13″ x 19″ prints so I'm going to offer them in the store shortly. I just have to decide what prints to make first!

Lip Service The Flaming Lips want to dissect your brain with sound. Local boy John Murray wants to help out his favorite band. On Sunday, Nov. 2, at 4:30 p.m. at the Bottom of the Hill Murray's throwing a free listening party for the new four-CD Lips record, Zaireeka. The party will be Lipless, but it still looks good for two reasons. First, Murray (who plays bass in local band Hugh) is a fan -- totally removed from the Warner Bros. publicity machine: You won't have little street-level corporate ladder climbers scrambling around with advertising and silly cassette singles. Second, the Bottom of the Hill might be your only chance to hear Zaireeka played right. See, the new Lips record is an experimental musical event; to listen to it you're supposed to have four synchronized CD players and eight speakers. The effect of noises that play off one another from speaker to speaker should be something like a living room version of head Lip Wayne Coyne's parking-lot experiments, in which a grand noise is created out of dozens of car sound systems playing simultaneously. At an experiment Riff Raff witnessed earlier this year the result was a collectively experienced garage orchestra, a wonderful and disorienting cacophony of multiple source noises bouncing off concrete and zigzagging across the lot. ("March of the Rotting Vegetables" is a lot experiment that shows up on the record.) The Bottom of the Hill doesn't exactly have a vast, echoey chamber, but eight speakers of Zaireeka should be big enough all on its own. (J.S.)
Goth Hop Scratch-master DJs (turntablists) have jumped into just about every style of music, yet a few genres remain understandably left alone. That's why the Trocadero's Oct. 30 matchup of all-around dope turntablist DJ Quest and local goth rockers Switchblade Symphony seems so unthinkable. Will Quest cut up hip-hop tracks or old Christian Death? Will Switchblade's goth Barbies swagger and mug like hip-hoppers? Will full-makeup goths start sportin' (black) Adidas and oversize basketball jerseys (No. 666)? Nah. Riff Raff knows how Quest is gonna pull it off: He'll simply spin the records backward. (R.A.)
By the Number As the annual Burning Man festival in the Black Rock Desert blooms into the most creative environment in the United States, San Francisco continues to reap the yearlong artistic harvest. There are so many weekly weird events -- from Seemen to art cars to rampaging Santas to Chicken John's weekly game show at Cell -- that no self-respecting oddball can keep track of it all. Attendance at most of the events comes from word-of-mouth and occasional e-mail missives, but videographer and ad hoc publicist Scott Beale, coordinator Danielle Engleman, Candace Locklear, and Philip Bonham wanted to make sure that the computerless and those without active day-planners could always get the tip. Together, they conceived a voice-mail messaging system that provides constantly updated events information about the stranger goings-on in town. Of course, no one could figure out a name for it -- how to encapsulate a car-smashing and whitesploitation movies and all-night dancing with interactive art? "Let's make it cryptic and mysterious," said Beale. Ladies and Gentlemen, the Number. In the interest of avoiding the who's-on-first routine altogether, the Number's number is 289-6666. Call the Number and you get a revolving cast of characters ("pseudo-celebrities," says Beale) who introduce the line, offer nightlife options, and perform odd little speeches, skits, or songs (two weeks ago some freak made guttural noises to "I Got You Babe"). (J.S.)

This week I want to simply share about some teapots I use on a regular basis. While they are not vintage English teapots, they're durable, aesthetically pleasing and hold temperature well. They're called Beehouse Teapots and Zero Japan is the manufacturer. Zero Japan was established in 1992 and its products can be purchased on Amazon and the Beehouse Teapot website. Their organic shape appealed and still appeals to me.
My first teapot is the 12 oz banana one which I use almost daily. I just keep refilling the teapot with hot water. The carrot one is 22 oz and I use it when a friend comes over for a casual tea. Most of the teapots are named after food colors.
My mom has a 26 ounce teapot in white.
The fine mesh infuser is the feature I enjoy most about these teapots. You can order replacement infusers on the website.
Since I like to drink my tea hot, I found a cozy that fits perfectly.
This is how I like to start my Saturday mornings. Typically there are more magazines and books. :)
Not sure I've shared my new wooden tray with all of you. Great clearance item at Tuesday Morning.
So true!
All the best,
I'm bringing my teacup to these parties:

Cameroon proceeds to the semi-final of the ongoing CEMAC Cup thanks to Gabon. The Gabonese beat the Equator-Guineans 2-1 to qualify and Cameroon second in the group, also qualifies for the semi-final.
The first half ended in a 1-1 tie, but, thanks to his second goal, Daniel Cousin secured a place for the Gabonese team in front of their President, Obiang Nguema Mbazogo who watched the game and the fans that turned out in their numbers to support their team.Thierry Fidjeu scored the lone goal for his side.
Had the Nzalan Nacional qualified, the lions would have returned home.
Moving to Bitam on Tuesday, the Lions would play their semi-final game against the winner of the Congo-Central Africa group B game.
Cameroon suffered a 2-0 defeat against Gabon in the opening game and had to beat Equatorial Guinea 2-1 to remain in the competition.
Though the Central African team following the political upheavals in their country arrived late, they beat the Chadian team 1-0.

a VirtualTourist member from Bhuj
This October my brother about to join his one year course at wellington for his nautical exams i wanted to know about accomodation over there.
how much it will cost him if he is staying with group of 3-4 person and about to stay over there for about 10-12 months.
i know it depends upon lot of factor,proximity to college,budget etc.
for budget i can say its around 100-200$ per person so for 4 person i think it will be some reasonable amount.And if anyone has contact of some agencies or anybody there help him out that will great help.
thx in advacne
"100-200$ per person" for which period of time?
For three to four people it would be best to rent a house or apartment. This can cost you NZ$ 300 to 400 per week - and the sky is the limit.
You can also check out apartments like Quest. There are several in Wellington. They do long-term rentals.
Here you find more such apartments:
Many real estate agencies also broker rentals, so check them out.
If you google "rental properties Wellington" you will find a lot of useful links.

I'd wait a while and see what happens. If you don't get it see your gyne. Any number of things can stop a period, things like weight loss, allot of exercising or just changes in your day to day life.

Sports World Specials
By DAVID FALKNER; ROBERT McG THOMAS JR.
Published: April 18, 1988
Champion on Ice
When Mike O'Brian, a 28-year-old from Neptune, N.J., arrived in Leningrad for the International Gold Cup regatta in ''DN ice-boat racing'' in late March, there was friendship, caviar and eight forbidding inches of snow on the gulf of Finland where the race was to be held.
Fortunately for O'Brian, the defending champion, and 256 other competitors from 11 countries and 4 regions of the Soviet Union, an unexpected rainstorm turned the snow to a perfect glass surface in a single day, and in the competition that followed, O'Brian successfully defended his title.
DN ice-boat racing dates back 50 years and is named after a design contest sponsored by The Detroit News that led to the current 12-foot, single-sail racer set on planks and runners.
International competition began in 1973 and has reached the point where now there is building pressure for Olympic recognition of the sport from countries, like the Soviet Union, with strong sailing programs.
O'Brian said the Soviet Union handled this year's race somewhat like an Olympic event.
''There were medal ceremonies, tons of media coverage, everything,'' O'Brian said. ''I wasn't used to it. At home, I'm invisible when I go through airports. Over there, people were actually asking for my autograph.''
The event itself was nervy, convivial and memorable for O'Brian, who had never raced in the Soviet Union. Before the Gold Cup race, O'Brian had entered preliminary European and Russian regattas, measuring the competition that was to come.
''Last year,'' he said, ''there were possibly 10 boats that could have won. This year there were at least 25.'' In one of the preliminary races, O'Brian injured an ankle, a potentially serious problem because DN sailing begins with a critical 50- to 75-foot sprint across the ice before boarding the boat. But O'Brian, adjusting runners and sail to prevailing conditions, and measuring his sprint so it would be as close to the wind as possible ran what he called ''the most tactical race of my life'' to win.
Among the portmanteau of memories he carried back, O'Brian recalled with some amusement that the name of his hometown was a source of puzzlement and enjoyment.
''Neptune,'' O'Brian pointed out, ''is, after all, the god of the sea.'' Marathon Case Study
For an executive who persuaded his company to commit $10 million to a sports event that doesn't get extensive television coverage, David D'Alessandro would seem an odd choice to explain the ins and outs of sports marketing to students at the Harvard Business School. In fact, he didn't even insist on title sponsorship before putting his John Hancock on the contract.
After all, at a time when dozens of corporations underwrite eponymous golf and tennis tournaments, there are scores of hard-nosed executives who know how to negotiate sponsorships that guarantee their companies maximum publicity.
There is a reason, to be sure, that D'Alessandro's deal has been made the subject of a B-school case study. The event his company - John Hancock Investors Trust - sponsors is the Boston Marathon, and on the day of the 1988 race, anyone who needs to be reminded of the sponsor's name has not been paying attention.
According to the company, when the 10-year deal was announced in 1985, it led to news accounts that produced more than 750 million print impressions, or the equivalent of $8.2 million in paid advertising.
One reason for the acclaim is that D'Alessandro's company (he's a senior vice president) was credited with rescuing the marathon from extinction. Because the Boston Athletic Association, which oversees the race, had refused to offer cash prizes, the race had been all but deserted by elite runners, who flocked to the upstart marathons in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.
Actually, D'Alessandro's company didn't so much rescue the race as save it. Until he came along, the B.A.A., which had finally decided to allow cash prizes, had been negotiating with several potential sponsors, including McDonald's, which was insisting on calling the race the McDonald's Boston Marathon and substituting hamburgers for spaghetti at the traditional pre-race dinner.
Simply by not seeking title sponsorship, D'Alessandro's company established itself as a noble-minded corporate citizen and won the very identification with the marathon it had seemed to eschew. It has since strengthened its ties by becoming deeply involved in recruiting top runners and has extended its association with marathoning by becoming a sponsor of the New York and Los Angeles races.
''To get your point across,'' D'Alessandro said after returning from Harvard the other day, ''you don't have to have title sponsorship or slap your name on every available space.''
Not that he has anything against title sponsorships. His company, after all, is the sponsor of the John Hancock Sun Bowl. Jazzy Campaign
It's getting warm in the National Basketball Association news conference room. A reporter, mopping his brow, reaches into the cooler for a soft drink.
With hardly a glance at the bottle, he takes a deep and satisfying swig. Only then, wiping his lips on his sleeve, does he notice that something is just a bit odd about the familiar red and white label. Instead of ''Coke Classic,'' it reads ''Utah Jazz Classic,'' and where the ingredients panel should be is a list of Thurl Bailey's statistics.
''Gee,'' said the reporter, ''this Bailey is the real thing. I'm gonna vote for him for the Sixth Man Award.''
That, more or less, was the fantasy of Utah's front-office staff a while back as they sat around a conference table relabeling 600 bottles of Coca-Cola with the special Jazz Classic labels, one each for the six N.B.A. awards the club hopes Bailey and three other Jazz players will win in the annual balloting by reporters and broadcasters.
''We had a real assembly line going,'' Bill Kreitfeldt, the Jazz public relations director, recalled the other day. ''Vice presidents were sitting next to interns and people from different departments who don't normally see each other were working side by side.''
Once the bottles were relabeled, fitted into six-packs and stuffed into mailing cartons with Styrofoam, peanuts as padding, they were sent to 100 reporters and broadcasters who regularly cover N.B.A. games. The Jazz is hoping that their list includes the 80 voters of the news media, whose identities are not disclosed by the N.B.A.
The Jazz Classic promotion, which was carried out in connivance with the local Coca-Cola bottler, a major Jazz sponsor, illustrates the pains some clubs will take in touting their players for the annual awards.
Most clubs limit themselves to sending out special news-media kits or producing the occasional T-shirt. The Knicks, for example, are boosting Mark Jackson for Rookie of the Year by circulating a compilation of his clippings entitled ''Mark Jackson Illustrated.'' The Jazz, however, have a tradition of carrying such matters to promotional extremes.
While it's hard to imagine that any voter would actually be influenced by such gimmicks, Jazz executives aren't so sure.
To make sure that the voters wouldn't overlook Karl (Mail Man) Malone in voting for the All-Rookie team in 1986, the Jazz sent out replicas of letter carriers' hats. Malone made the team.

Shenzhen, China (PressExposure) November 25, 2008 -- People who sell unlocked phones on eBay know how much of a headache trying to get the cellphone with the right GSM band to the right country can be.
Wholesale dropship company Chinavasion is offering some help with a GSM world map and GSM frequency advice.
Experts say global demand for cell phones is changing with demand for mobile phones in developing countries like India, China and Brazil rapidly overtaking demand in North America and Europe.
For the first four months of this year alone world cellular phone sales jumped 13.6% on what they were in a similar period in 2007 according to research body Gartner Group.
The Gartner Group said a big part of that growth can be attributed to developing markets with Asian sales jumping by 26.6% and Latin America sales increasing by 28.4%.
This is great for anyone selling GSM phones online it does raise major questions of cellphone compatibility as online retailers deal with more GSM frequencies then they ever have before.
There are three basic GSM frequencies, 850MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz and 1900MHz.
Different carriers in different countries use different combinations of frequencies.
This makes it difficult to roam, buy unlocked cell phones and sell unlocked phones.
Wholesale dropship company, Chinavasion, has come to the rescue of everybody confused about cell phone compatibility.
They have answered the question 'what is GSM'. They have also put together a GSM frequency guide, a GSM world map to show people where each GSM band works and a GSM frequency chart to show people which GSM phone will work where.
According to Chinavasion's PR manager, Rose Li, the company put together these GSM frequency resources to help e-commerce operators improve customer service.
"We feel it is our job to make the experience of buying and selling a GSM phone online as easy, safe and pleasurable as possible," said Rose Li.
According to Chinavasion's Rose Li the whole reason for the development of the GSM standard was to open up the wireless networks to the people of the world.
"European industry leaders developed the GSM standard to put power back in the hands of the consumers," according to Rose Li." consumers need to keep that power."
According to Rose Li buying unlocked cell phones and unlocked GSM phones were excellent ways to retain control and get the most out of global roaming.
"Unlocked GSM cell phones, particularly international phones are the only options for people traveling all over the world," according to Rose Li. "Only with these unlocked cellular phones can the user change providers by just switching GSM SIM cards."
Rose Li is the PR Manger for Chinavasion, China's premier wholesale dropship company for unlocked cell phones and Western quality wholesale electronics. Would you like to learn more about unlocked phones? Or see what GSM band information Chinavasion can provide?

A councillor on the Key First Nation, Sask., has been suspended after he was charged with 10 drug and weapon-related charges.
RCMP laid the charges after executing a warrant on the First Nation north of Kamsack around 5 a.m. CST Tuesday.
By Shiri Pasternak, APTN National News, May 27, 2017
Before the axe dramatically fell on Barriere Lake's customary government in August 2010, there were many forewarnings that the customary band's days were numbered.
As early as 1995, during the first leadership crisis with the IBC, the Department of Indian Affairs debated imposing Section 74 of the Indian Act onto the community as an exit strategy to the Trilateral Agreement. In March 2008, an internal report summarizing impact scenarios of Ratt council recognition over the Nottaway council also offered the possibility of not recognizing both councils and instead imposing Section 74 on the community.

By Kathleen Harris, CBC News, Dec 18, 2015

Attack sends 10 people to hospital, suspect 'restrained' before police arrive
CBC News, Oct 14, 2015
The alleged suspect in an attack on a band office near Lillooet, B.C. is dead following a rampage that injured at least 10 people, RCMP say.
Lillooet RCMP say a man entered the Xwisten (Bridge River Band) office with weapons just before 8:30 a.m. PT. Wednesday and assaulted staff.
The Canadian Press reported that an emergency worker, who didn't want to be named, said the man apparently attacked one person with a hammer, and when others in the office went to help they were also beaten. Read the rest of this entry

People across Nova Scotia are furious after finding out chiefs make hundreds of dollars in per diems for doing as little as sitting on a conference call for the Mi'kmaw Family Services Agency.
"This double dipping has to stop," said Daniel Toney, a member of Annapolis First Nation in Nova Scotia. Toney was part of a protest there earlier this month. People are upset over the amount of money his chief, Janette Peterson takes home. Read the rest of this entry

Aboriginal organizations have faced $60 million worth of cuts from the Harper government over the past three years and Inuit groups were hit the hardest, according to an internal Assembly of First Nations analysis obtained by APTN National News.
The analysis, which is based on federal Aboriginal Affairs department figures as of Jan. 7 of this year, found Inuit organizations faced a cut of 71 per cent between 2012 and 2015. First Nations organizations absorbed 65.5 per cent worth of cuts over the same time span. Metis organizations saw cuts of 39 per cent, non-status Indian organizations 14 per cent and women's organizations were hit with a 7 per cent cut, the analysis found. Read the rest of this entry

A local First Nation band won't face court action for defying new financial disclosure laws, but the federal government will suspend funding for non-essential programs.
The Popkum Indian Band is the only one in the Times readership area that did not file audited financial statements and band council remuneration figures by Nov. 26, as required by the First Nations Financial Transparency Act (FNFTA).
Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development (AANDC) Bernard Valcourt said the act was brought in to apply "the same principles of transparency and accountability to First Nation governments that already exist for other governments in Canada." Read the rest of this entry
Another Burns Lake area First Nation has signed an agreement with the BC government related to a natural gas pipeline project.
The Wet'suwet'en First Nation, formerly known as the Broman Lake Band, stands to receive $2.8 million dollars from the province for the proposed Coastal GasLink project.
The pipeline would transport gas from the Dawson Creek area to the proposed LNG Canada facility near Kitimat where it would be liquefied for export to overseas markets. Read the rest of this entry

text: I've always called all "pasta" noodles. I grew up refering to lasagna, spaghetti, spaetzle or other noodles as noodles--not only when they're in Chinese dishes. I first started hearing the term "pasta" around the mid 1980s when in my 20s. Now it seems to be pushing the older term "noodles" out. When did this start happening? Does anyone think it has to do with media manipulation of language--i.e. by using the term "pasta" it will sound more upmarket. Comments please.

Welcome to lesson #10 of your profitable blogging course.
Haven't we come a long way already?
We've set up your blog, researched and written blog posts and now we're promoting your site.
Today is no different, in that we're going to start talking about email marketing.
If there's one thing that most bloggers regret its that they didn't start an email newsletter sooner.
There's a simple reason for this: when you have a large email list then you can literally drive traffic (and so money) on demand.
Every time you launch a new blog post you can fire off an email to your list.
Every time you want to earn a bit more money you can send out an email with an affiliate link in it.
And nobody can take this list away from you.
Here's the real secret of blogging for profit then: you need to be using all those other promotional strategies we're discussing to drive as many people as possible to your newsletter. Once they're subscribed then you're safe.
The bigger your list is, the more traffic you can generate on demand. In short, the bigger your list, the more money you can make.
Now setting up your own email newsletter doesn't have to be complicated.
I've tested out all sorts of ways to build a list and personally there are two tools which I rely on beyond any other.
Tool #1: Email Software
Setting up an email newsletter is something that's going to require a small investment, but its one that should pay you back time and again in the years to come.
The first thing that you're going to need is a subscription to an optin email service.
There are quite a range of different options out there, and I've tested most of them in recent years.
Based on the ideal combination of features and cost, my personal recommendation is for Aweber.
Aweber makes it super-simple to build opt-in forms and to set up autoresponders. What's more, the costs are very reasonable, especially if you're just starting out.
If you haven't already, then, sign up for your account here.
Tool #2: Subscription Testing
Let me tell you a little secret. Many bloggers – most in fact – aren't getting anywhere near as many subscribers as they could be.
In other words they're leaving money on the table.
How come?
Well they sign up for an email service, create a single sign-up form and slap it somewhere on their site.
Then they think they're done.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Indeed, the secret of growing your email list as quickly as possible to to constantly test out a range of different opt-in forms, to see which forms in which places get the best response rates.
For this I recommend a plugin called Thrive Leads.
Thrive Leads lets you build dozens of different types of optins, each with different colors, styles, text and more. There are almost limitless possibilities for where you can put your forms and how they look.
The tool then gently tests all the various options, helping you decide which are most effective.
After just a few weeks of testing many bloggers find they can double or even treble the number of email subscribers they get each day. In essence they've just doubled their income!
So grab a subscription to Aweber and a copy of Thrive Leads today and see just how quickly you can start growing your email subscriber list.

Renault-Nissan and Russian partner AvtoVAZ have opened a new production line at the Russian company's facility in Togliatti. According to Renault, this new line has a capacity of 350,000 units per year, and it will manufacture vehicles for the three brands. This is the sixth production line at the Togliatti facility, which is the largest vehicle plant in the world.
This plant is located 1,000 km southeast of Moscow. It has a capacity of 1.5 million units each year. Renault sees big opportunities in Russia due to the low car ownership rate at 230 automobiles per 1,000 individuals, which is less than 50% of the number in France. Also, Russians do their best to acquire a new vehicle as a symbol of social success.
Renault anticipates completion of its purchase of a majority share in AvtoVAZ at the end of April after buying a 25% share in the company in 2008 for $1 billion. CEO Carlos Ghosn at Renault-Nissan stated that the vehicle manufacturers will benefit as Russia increasingly becomes the economic engine of growth in Europe.
He commented that the collaboration is "deepening every day" and is boosting economies of scale throughout the alliance. Consulting firm Ernst & Young estimated that Russia will outperform Germany as the largest vehicle market in the European region in 2015 with yearly sales of 3.4 million vehicles.
The Moscow-based Association of European Business (AEB) estimates that vehicle sales this year will be at 2.8 million units. The first automobile rolling off the new production line was the Lada Largus, a rebadged variant of the seven-seat Dacia Logan MCV station wagon.
The production of Lada will be followed by a Nissan automobile later this year. Two Renault vehicle models will then follow in 2013. Five different automobile models will be manufactured on the line for the three brands. During the first quarter of 2012, Lada was the largest brand in Russia in terms of volume even with its unit sales dropping 15% to 109,388, according to the data from the AEB.

6) As a general rule of preference, I dislike dice and victory points
The game will be card-driven.
2) The game cannot be very restricting and linear. Part of the fun in the idea of time travel games is that you can have unforeseen consequences in your actions.
The simplest way to make sure that the events of the timeline are not too linear is to change how they are related. The hypothetical world this board game will take place in can have levels of W(ar), C(ulture), and T(echnology) for every Era. Every event card will have two sides, with one representing that the event happened, and it's flip side representing that it did not happen. There would be requirement stats that would determine which side would be in play. For example, you might have a 1936 Olympics card, with a requirement of 5W and 4C resulting in the Olympics taking place in Berlin. This in turn might generate certain levels of W for the next Era. But if the W levels were less than 5, or the C levels were less than 4, the 1936 Olympics card would be flipped over, and would take place in Spain instead.
Overall, no events are directly linked with any other events.
Thematically, this actually works out pretty well. WWI is widely agreed upon to have been sparked by the assassination of Archduke Frans Ferdinand. But would WWI have occurred if the assassination didn't happen?
Probably! All the pieces were in place, and stopping the assassination might delay it, but not stop it altogether. All this would thematically reflect time travel in a universe with Rubber band history. Changes to the past get smoothed over as time passes, and big events are hard to prevent unless lots of changes are made.
*All examples used are arbitrary, and I don't intend on using real events like the 1936 Olympics. War, culture, and technology aren't set in stone either.

Rowan: That's because you fell asleep in school today.

Madeleine Peyroux's 1996 debut album, Dreamland, arrived at a curious time in New York, when Grand Royal magazine and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion ruled the scene. A quiet, whimsical collection of standards including covers of Patsy Cline and Edith Piaf, Peyroux's collaboration with downtown jazz luminaries James Carter, Cyrus Chestnut and Marc Ribot failed to make a massive splash, instead hovering in cult status for eight long years.

If it weren't for the slow but sure power of the independent music industry, Paul Thorn's record label, Perpetual Obscurity, might actually be fitting. But as it is, Thorn, a Tupelo, Miss. Native, is far too talented to be contained by the usual languish.

As a founding member of the Reduced Shakespeare Co. and co-creating force behind the smash stage hit The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged), Jess Winfield knows a thing or two about brevity in the face of a short attention span. So it comes as no surprise that he appears in Santa Rosa with a lecture entitled "Why TV Isn't Evil: What Writers Can Learn from Television, Film and Theater." The 22-minute sitcom in which life catastrophes are presented, navigated and overcome will no doubt be covered, but with the virtual demise of the sitcom, the real question is what writers could possibly hope to learn from the glut of so-called unscripted reality competition shows that clog the cable lines.

San Francisco's psychedelic surf-guitar group the Mermen have been awfully quiet since the 2000 release of The Amazing California Health and Happiness Road Show, although as far as notes to end on, that recording is in the upper range of incredible. Drenched in atmosphere, melody and tone, it's everything that doesn't come to mind when one thinks of "psychedelic surf guitar" (it sounds almost nothing like Man or Astro-Man? or Los Straitjackets).

Nothing says "community radio" quite like KWMR, Marin County's only radio station, and nothing helps KWMR quite like the annual Far West Fest.

No ghetto blaster in 1986 was complete without three breakdance staples: "Jam on It" by Newcleus, "Roxanne Roxanne" by UTFO and "Rumors" by Timex Social Club. Led by the exasperated narration of the group's gossip-addled singer, Michael Marshall, "Rumors" was the only one out of the three to fly up the Billboard charts and become a smash hit across the Atlantic.

Whether they're aware of it or not, even non–classical music fans know about Renée Fleming. Ever the people's soprano, she's been on Sesame Street, was featured in The Lord of the Rings, made albums with Joe Jackson and Brad Mehldau, and sang at the Lincoln Memorial Inaugural Celebration earlier this year.

Among the plentiful new crop of bands from the burgeoning Napa scene, Serf and James sticks out like a sweet, pleasant thumb. Often playing shows with louder, more abrasive bands, the young group is catchy and engaging enough to garner admiration from both teenaged screamo fans and older college-rock aficionados.

Research animals in the wild or in captivity.
As a Molecular Geneticist, you may have difficulty explaining your job to people who aren't Scientists themselves. You participate in cutting-edge research, figuring out how genes combine and contribute to disease, and the job is extremely difficult to explain to the average person. As a result, you may not be able to impress people with the work you do as a Molecular Geneticist, as they may not quite grasp how challenging it truly is.
As a Molecular Geneticist, you spend the majority of your day in the laboratory. You work with patient samples, analyzing their genes to determine their risk for genetic diseases. To do this, you may have to develop your testing methods yourself, as this is an incredibly new field of study and tests haven't yet been discovered for all diseases. You then write reports, detailing what you found, how you found it, and what can be done about it.
You may be asked to meet with patients to discuss your findings and what they mean, but it's more likely that you'll explain your findings to Doctors, and allow the Doctors to relay the results to their patients. This allows you to spend more time in the laboratory, working on your research.
You may spend a significant portion of your time reading journals, attending conferences, and studying online reports about molecular genetics. You'll need to keep your skills current so you can improve your techniques.

This year's DC mayoral race is already shaping up into an interesting bout. Muriel Bowser, Ward 4 council member, defeated incumbent Mayor Vincent Gray in the April 1st Democratic primary amidst albeit one of the lowest voter turnouts in DC democratic primary history (below 27 percent). With this victory in hand however, Bowser intends to continue with her gains, as she, a formerly unknown citywide candidate, has come out of obscurity to take the frontrunner position in the mayoral race.
The current lineup of competitors includes sitting At-Large Council Member David Catania, who is running as an Independent and former At-Large council member who is also a repeat mayoral candidate, Carol Schwartz. Schwartz's recent decision to enter the race caught many by surprise since most considered her political aspirations gone after her loss in the 2008 Republican primary. For the November 4th election Schwartz will run as an Independent.
On the issues, Catania has begun campaigning hard against Bowser's record stating that Bowser's record, while head of the Committee on Economic Development, leaves much to be desired. Of particular concern has been the committee's work, or lack of work, building on efforts to increase affordable housing in the District. Some have commented that the rise in homeless population (some 8,000) in the District is a direct result of DC Council's inaction. Many also have called on the council to redefine affordable housing which currently is based on the Area Median Income (AMI) which includes two of the nation's most wealthy counties (Fairfax, VA and Montgomery, MD).
Several months ago Catania embarked on a "campaign" of sorts, holding "substantive" meetings with this Districts public schools (to include charter schools). His current number of visits (as of this writing) totals 144. This approach of getting out in front of potential voters has likely helped his chances and worked to increase his exposure to this city's residents.
Concerns over Catania's campaigning style were raised as flyers comparing Bowser and Catania's record were handed out during the event. These flyers compared Bowser's current campaign staff to that of Adrian Fenty.
Catania's campaign has also mentioned the sort of dodgy play Bowser campaign is undertaking. Bowser has since refused any engagements with her opponents until mid-September, citing that the last day for the Board of Elections to accept challenges to the ballot is September 8th.
Voices against Catania have turned to Catania's boisterous and non-diplomatic approach when debating certain issues. To these concerns Catania has offered that there are many issues facing the DC electorate which cause many to be outraged—himself included. Further he acknowledges that for meaningful change to come, affecting DC education and housing policy, the future DC mayor will need to be both tenacious and vociferous.
Bowser's win in the Democratic primary signals both challenges and opportunities for her campaign. While winning 44 percent to Gray's 33 percent, it must be noted that only 22 percent of Gray's own ward voted in the primary (Ward 7). Only 16 percent in Ward 8 showed up to vote, which was supposedly another Gray stronghold. Many suggest much of Bowser's win can be attributed to scandal fatigue as the district citizens get over wave after wave of scandals affecting the DC council—scandals which have left two former council members behind bars and others facing impending investigation. This fatigue caused many to stay home instead of getting out to vote. The task for Bowser is now to both unite democratic voters and convince them of her intent to hold DC council members more accountable.
Some of Bowser's notable accomplishments include the Kids Ride Free legislation, which allowed DC students to ride the bus to school for free, and several ethics reform bills.
It is too early to know what Schwartz's addition to the fray will have on this contest. How Schwartz will fare in this race after several years outside of political life, and after significant changes in this city's demographics is unknown. What is known is that her involvement might be of some concern to Catania who must rely on Democrats and non-Democrats in order to win this election.
Schwartz spent a favorable 16 years on the DC council as a Republican at-large member. While a member she was known for being fiscal hawk, preventing earmarks on numerous council bills. She currently is for decriminalization of marijuana but against its legalization. She also is in favor of delaying current rezoning plans.
The expectation is that Schwartz's bid will split the votes and make Bowser the inevitable shoe-in who relies on her title as the Democratic nominee in this majority Democratic city.
It should be noted that there will also be candidates from the Libertarian and Republican party to join the field for the November election, which has many commenting that this election will be a genuine contest and not a shoe in win for Bowser.

Intl. Code Council, SFPE Team Up
The International Code Council (ICC) and the Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE) are collaborating on initiatives to expand services offered to the memberships of both organizations. The partnership will facilitate fire protection design and education—SFPE will offer ICC members a discounted rate on SFPE's six new online training seminars.
"Fire protection is a crucial part of building safety and code compliance," ICC CEO Rick Weiland said. "Performance-based fire protection designs are being used more and more. The code council's relationship with SFPE allows us to further the science of fire protection engineering and provide code officials with the technical assistance needed to review and evaluate these designs."
SFPE's web-based courses are: Code Official's Guide to Performance-Based Design, Fire Alarms Course for Fire Service/Fire Prevention Officer Training, Human Behavior in Fire, Principles of Structural Fire Protection, Sprinkler Course Fire Service/Fire Prevention Officer and Principles of Fire Protection Engineering.

It was the first one I demoed in my most recent demoing frenzy. I really liked it. Seemed to have a nice blend of both power and control. It was great on serves. Trust me, it can make a huge difference. I play there every Monday, and I know the director pretty well. My guess would be no on the Saturday socials, but I don't know for sure. Skyline has Friday socials, right Sup? PS...I have no idea who I would dress up as?!?

Remember the landlord who set his tenant ablaze killing him in the process? Well he has also died.
The landlord, Sola Solomon, who also sustained injuries while setting his tenant ablaze has died at the hospital he was rushed too. Punch Metro learnt from a police source on Wednesday that the suspect died from the burns injuries he sustained while setting fire on his tenant, Abeeb Daraloye.
It will be recalled that Abeeb and his landlord had a disagreement over the use of the compound toilet, before the man decided to wake him up at 12am and set him on fire.

The hero of Zakes Mda's beloved Ways of Dying, Toloki, sets down with a family in Middle America and uncovers the story of the runaway slaves who were their ancestors
Like its affable narrator, Cion leisurely ambles from one episode to the next. As the various strands of the novel begin to coalesce, however, it becomes clearer that, in his capacity as a professional healer, Toloki has performed an important function for the Quigley family and, by extension, the larger society that continues to neglect the tangled web of its history. The sensibility through which Toloki refracts this story embodies the spirit of ubuntuthe term so frequently invoked by Archbishop Tutu and others during South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation hearings to denote "the universal bond of sharing that connected all humanity." In the end, Cion strongly suggests that ubuntu may well offer a way for America to confront the ghosts of its racial past.

Singer Alice Smith isn't stumping for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama alongside Will.i.am on YouTube, but that doesn't mean she isn't star struck. When the senator's name came up in our telephone conversation, the slow-talking Washington, DC, native ignited. "He is just beyond honey, beyond. He's incredible. Poor little Hillary don't know what the hell to do. She cannot handle it!"
Smith's debut, For Lovers, Dreamers, and Me, ponders love, not public policy, and she doesn't know yet how she feels about protest songs, but she is confidently an eager Obama disciple. She's got hope: a dream that Obama will invite her to sing at his nomination. Of course, Stevie Wonder is the frontrunner, and John Legend has the "Yes We Can" inside advantage, but Smith's adamant: "That's the gig I want."
A few weeks earlier, in Los Angeles for the Grammy festivities, Smith nailed a pretty choice gig. A featured performer at the Roots' annual pre-Grammy jam, she reunited with a former bandmate, Roots guitarist Captain Kirk, and covered Jimi Hendrix's "Manic Depression." Prince attended (as he did another of her LA performances), and in that same taffy drawl Smith wields on For Lovers, she murmurs, "I hear he really liked me" and expressed intentions "to write him a thank-you note." She cuts her wide-eyed girlishness with a Southern manner, adds to that a New York nonchalance and capital-city toughness, and it makes for an effective combination on For Lovers—an album the industry so loved, it released it twice, in 2006 on indie label BBE and again in 2007 by Epic.
The big balladry, the folksy tendencies, the sultry twang, and the gut-powered belt led at least one Brit to suggest to Smith that her music was "too eclectic for black people." Smith said she almost vomited. She's on message. Hopscotching across the country with her three-man band, she doesn't play just one kind of music and certainly couldn't expect just one kind of fan. We are not living in post-racial times as some pundits observing Obama's rise have claimed, but we aren't living on islands of discrete demography either. Whether the exhortations of a handsome biracial presidential candidate or the art of a pretty black chanteuse, all sorts can heed the call.

Leonardo provisionally suspended by French League
PARIS — Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo has been provisionally suspended by the French league for his altercation with referee Alexandre Castro.
Leonardo appeared to deliberately shoulder-barge Castro in the tunnel after PSG's 1-1 home draw against Valenciennes last Sunday.
After a meeting on Tuesday evening, the league's disciplinary commission says Leonardo will be suspended from Wednesday, pending an investigation, "because of the seriousness of the matter."
Leonardo has denied the allegation.
