When it comes to local SEO, most local business owners and professional service providers are often clueless when it comes to search engine optimization (SEO). They often have a notion of what SEO seeks to achieve, but many business professionals, even those in marketing, have no idea at where to begin.
When it comes to locally-focused companies, Google local SEO can beneficial and practiced in-house with some know-how. Below are four ways that you can use to leverage local SEO to promote your business in 2016.
Make Use of Long Tail Keywords
Most local businesses are usually trying to rank for very competitive and broad terms. But since Google's algorithm throws a lot of weight to larger directories such as Yelp or Yellow Pages, it can be really difficult to reach the top ten in some of these terms.
If you are a business owner and you want to capitalize on Google local SEO, you will need to capitalize on long tailed keywords. Try to optimize your content around keywords that are very specific. For instance, you can add your city or location to the keywords in order to narrow down your approach, start ranking quickly, and drive more targeted traffic to your website.
Get Listed
You should get featured on as many listings as possible if you want to promote your business far and wide. If your website is listed across major directories and online maps, it is going to give your local strategy a really huge benefit.
Even though it can be extremely tedious and time consuming to find the directories to list your website on, it will be worth the time and effort. To make the process easier, you can take advantage of free tools that allow you to scan sites and check how you are ranking locally.
To get started, scope out the Local Listings resources from Moz. Here you can see actionable insights to get listed on relevant directories, helping to promote and proliferate your business across the web, all while supporting your local SEO efforts.
Take Advantage of Mobile Optimization
Mobile optimization is very important nowadays. Not so long ago, Google released an algorithm that is mobile specific. It is aimed at impacting the ranking of websites depending on their mobile-friendly status. Local search on mobile devices can help promote your business and make it known by many people across the world.
The mobile devices have a higher lead to conversion ratio because most people are using them to access the internet nowadays. You just have to make sure that your mobile site is friendly for it to attract a lot of visitors. This may require a mobile website re-design, or potentially mobile web development services to build you a mobile-friendly website.
Use Social Media
You can leverage popular social media platforms such Google+, Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat to increase the ranking of your website on search engines. Google+ can be particularly useful in promoting your business if used correctly. It can be a very powerful weapon in your SEO arsenal. With just a few tweaks on your Google Plus profile and business page, you can build a very strong foundation for SEO success.
Some of the things you will need to do to leverage Google+ for local SEO is make sure that you have an attractive SEO title, avoid going overboard with the content you post, put your links in the Link Attachment area in order to get the benefit of a DoFollow link, and track every piece content you post on Google+.
If you are looking to grow targeted traffic that converts, local search will be a very powerful tool for your business. Whether you're doing search engine optimization for surgeons or a local retailer, by using the above-mentioned tips, your business will start moving up the ranking. This will in turn drive more sales to your business.

Its emphasis is on bulk packs for kitchen/salad bars, retail packs for supermarkets or convenience stores, private label or under its own FreshPro brand.
Since 1985 the company has supplied the food industry with a wide variety of high-quality conventional and organic produce, fresh-cuts, deli items, cheese, chilled foods, floral and other products related to the perishable food arena.
"In 1991, our fresh-cut division, FreshPro, was created to fill an opportunity in the market for fresh-cut," said Joe Granata, director of produce sales. "Since then the FreshPro division has expanded far beyond fresh-cut product, and now includes private label, repacking and other services."
In addition to fresh produce and floral, the company has expanded into the beverage category.
"Our line includes Natalie's Fresh Squeezed lemonades, teas and juices," said Granata. "Other additions to our line include the Giorgio Fresh line of dried mushrooms, Fresh Express Salad Kits and Sauté Kits, and Ark Foods Shishito peppers and assorted hot peppers."
In late April and into May, the company was promoting its line of apples and pears from both New Zealand and South America.
"We have introduced a new apple called the Breeze from New Zealand," said Granata.
The Breeze is the earliest apple to be harvested in New Zealand. It is touted as being red, sweet, aromatic and very crisp.
Food safety is at the top of the attention list at FreshPro. Granata said the company is in compliance with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Food Safety and Modernization Act.
"We have updated our FSMA and we have hazard analysis and preventive controls programs in place," stressed Granata.
"Our facility has a HACCP certified employee and a trained Preventive Controls Qualified Individual on staff to oversee the development, implementation and continual improvement of a FSMA Food Safety Plan. In addition, our facility is inspected by an accredited Third-Party Auditing body, and it operates in compliance with the requirements of The Bioterrorism Act of 2002."
FreshPro is highly bullish of locally grown programs.
"We are a huge proponent of the Jersey Fresh program, as well as the New York State Grown & Certified program," said Granata.

Gene Ontology (GO) annotations can be modeled as pairwise associations between a gene or gene product G and a pre-coordinated class C from the ontology, augmented with additional metadata (evidence, provenance, etc). The primary way to provide more fine-grained annotations is by requesting more specific terms; e.g. "B-cell apoptosis" as a subtype of "apoptosis". The GO is using Web Ontology Language (OWL) reasoners and TermGenie1 templates to instantly create compositional terms, but there is still a need for anonymous class expressions to avoid ontology inflation and to represent cases such as a kinase and its phosphorylated target. The GO consortium has published version 2.0 of the Gene Association Format (GAF) which allows for dynamic post-composition of classes at the time of annotation.
Christopher J. Mungall, Amelia Ireland, Valerie Wood, Midori Harris, David Hill, Paul D. Thomas, Emily Dimmer
Gene Ontology Consortium http://geneontology.org
In a standard GO annotation G is associated with a single class C is specified (col. 5 of the tabular GAF file) – this must be a GO class. With GAF2.0, the annotation provider can provide zero or more relation label-class ID pairs of the form R(Y) separated by comma and pipe characters (col. 16) 2. This has a standard OWL translation – each pipe-separated block is separated into its own annotation, and the remainder is translated to an anonymous intersection of the main class plus all relation-class pairs:
R1(Y1),R2(Y2),…,Rn(Yn) à C' and R1′ some Y1′ and … Rn' some Yn'. (Here X' denotes the translation of an OBO identifier or a relation label to an OWL IRI).
The rat gene Has2 has an active role during hyaluronan biosynthesis in the renal cortex interstitium. Here G=(ID for) Has2 and C=(ID for) hyaluronan biosynthesis; the annotation extension colum has the value "occurs_in(UBERON:0005270)". This is equivalent to annotating G to a class that is defined as 'hyaluronan biosynthesis'and 'occurs_in' some 'renal cortex interstitium'
Annotations are available from the main GO downloads page3. Currently: only the goa, pombase, mgi GAFs have this information.
Currently there are few applications that make use of extended annotations. The GO consortium has implemented code for translating annotations to OWL4. The resulting class expressions can optionally be added to a dynamically generated ontology and pre-reasoned. This allows the extended annotations to be used in standard enrichment tools. In addition, standard techniques for computing the role-bounded Least Common Subsumer (Baader et al 2003) can be applied to enhance this ontology.
The current syntax may be extended to allow recursive nesting of OWL expressions. GO annotations are also being extended to allow for the specification of non-default relationships between genes/gene products and GO classes.

2017 Shepparton 70.3 - Chris Golomb
After an off-season filled with PB's in 3 regular "fun" runs that I do each year, the three Duathlon Series races and my first Olympic Distance event at Yarrawonga, I found myself in Shepparton, Saturday before the race. My first thought looking at the lake after checking the bike into transition was, "Well, at least it is nice and flat". Quickly followed by "Geez, those turn buoys are really a long way away!"
Race Day
Swim: Made the mistake of getting into the water early, which put me right at the front of the wave come start time. Well it didn't take long after the starter's gun to find myself at the other end of the wave. I tried to settle into a rhythm, after all those buoys were a long way away. I made it ½ way before I was caught by the first of the pink caps from the wave behind, which was better than expected. Finishing off as strong as I could (really have to get to more of Sean's Tuesday and Thursday sessions) I exited the swim in 37 mins. This was ahead of my target time of 40-43 mins, so I went into T1 feeling good.
Bike: After taking the first few km easy to get the legs moving I, once again, settled into a rhythm. I had a target in my head of a 30kph average and, for the first lap, everything was going to plan. I was riding through 45kms in just about bang on 1:30, taking in constant fluids the whole time. Lap two however was a different story. When the wind picked up, I foolishly tried to keep up the pace. I quickly abandoned this and spun in an easier gear. As I watched my average speed drop I reminded myself that there was still 21.1kms to come. Off the bike in 3:05, a little off the target, but happy. And hot.
T2 deserves a special mention, not only did I try to exit through the wrong gate, but I was halfway out of transition before I realised I had forgotten my hat. Also it didn't help going past Harrison at the tent drinking a beer….. One of these days I am going to get through a race without a cock up in T1 or T2.
Run: All that was going through my head was "take it easy-take it easy". The first 5km were not too bad, a little slower than what I wanted but doable. Somewhere around the 6km mark my run came crashing down. My legs started to feel heavy and my body weak. Going past the Nuna tent on lap one and I was in my own little world of hurt. A passing Nuna offered some words of encouragement and advice on fluid consumption (drink one cup, tip the other on your head), this has me looking forward to the next aid station. By km 9 I was down to a walk to the next aid station. From there it was aid station to aid station, shuffle a bit, walk a bit. Still the support from the Nuna crew kept me going, both on course and on the sidelines. At about 12 I heard a very familiar voice behind me, I had been caught by Ange. We shuffled side by side for the next lap. Support always there, from either my side or others on course. I had dropped behind around the final aid station when I decided that if this was the only 70.3 that I was ever going to do (which, at that stage, it was) I better find some speed as we are crossing the line together. This was my slowest ½ marathon I had ever run, but was the most satisfying at the same time.
Crossing the line, I couldn't believe that 12 months prior I was still 2 weeks away from my first Mini and now I had just completed a 70.3. The course may have got the better of me this year, but you can bet I will be back in 2018 to give it another shot. In the mean-time, let's hope Challenge Melbourne gives us some better weather.

Thunderstorms in Seattle are very rare. Seattle doesn't tend to get much in the way of 'severe' weather, where 'severe' is defined to be tornadoes/hail/rain/wind etc. from strong thunderstorms. When we do get thunderstorms though, it's always fun to see, and we get occasional storms that drift westward over the Cascade crest in the summer. These storms don't usually bring much in the way of precipitation, but they can make for a fantastic light show.
First, a recap of today - we saw some fairly heavy rain come through Western Washington this morning, but the Seattle area was largely shadowed due to the Olympics. Our prevailing winds associated with storms coming off the Pacific are from the southwest, so places northeast of the Olympics like Sequim often enjoy dry and sometimes even sunny weather while it is pouring 60 miles to the southwest. When the upper level flow is westerly, however, places directly to the east of the Olympics end up getting shadowed. That's why Seattle has been drier this morning and afternoon afternoon than I originally thought it would be. Quite a bit of rain fell in the super early morning hours though... almost a half inch as of noon today.
The picture below shows the prominent shadowing over the Seattle metropolitan area and points north this morning. When the flow is perpendicular to the Cascades as it is in this radar picture, the mountains are the most efficient at forcing air to rise, and there is a lot of orographic precipitation on the west slopes. The east slopes are completely dry.
Another system is currently coming into the area right now, and you can see it on the latest radar image and the latest visible, infrared, and water vapor satellite images.
|01:00 pm PDT Fri 05 Apr 2013: UW West Coast 2 Visible Satellite
|01:00 pm PDT Fri 05 Apr 2013: UW West Coast 2 Infrared Satellite
|01:00 pm PDT Fri 05 Apr 2013: UW West Coast 2 Water Vapor Satellite
The first satellite image I posted is known as a visible satellite image. The idea behind this type of imagery is pretty simple; a satellite takes a picture of what the surface of the Earth looks like at any given time. Visible satellite images are great because they show exactly what the clouds look like and they can do this in pretty high resolution. I'll often show visible satellite pictures when we have a showery pattern and/or convergence zone over our region because they are the most effective at illustrating the finer details of the clouds over our area. One caveat is that these these images are useless at night since there is no sunlight over the area. It would be really cool if we equipped a satellite with some night-vision goggles to show us what the clouds looked like then.
The good thing is that we have done that! The second type of imagery I posted is infrared satellite imagery. All objects emit radiation proportional to their temperature, and an infrared satellite measures the amount of radiation emitted from an object and converts it to temperature. Infrared imagery is extremely useful because it tells us the temperature of a cloud. In this color-enhanced picture, the coldest cloud tops are in color, and the warmer ones are in grey. One interesting thing to note is that the land also emits infrared radiation, and one can therefore use an infrared image to determine the temperature of the land. See how the land around 60 degree latitude line in Canada is much more gray than the Southwest? As evidenced by the visible satellite picture, there are no clouds in both regions, but since the ground temperatures in the Southwest are much warmer, it appears blacker than the northern Canada area.
A downside to infrared images is that they have trouble picking up clouds with warm tops. Visible satellite images clearly show fog, but infrared images often do not because temperatures at the tops of the fog are relatively warm compared to other clouds.
The third type of satellite image is a water vapor image. A water vapor image is a specific type of infrared image, but whereas the infrared image I described above primarily measures wavelengths in the 10-12 micrometer range, water vapor sensors on satellites measure wavelengths in the 6.5-6.9 micrometer range. Water vapor is transparent at wavelengths longer than this and on visible satellites, so that is why it doesn't show up on the previous two satellite images. A water vapor image is used to detect the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.
Water vapor imagery is my favorite type of imagery because it can tell us the general flow of the atmosphere, specifically the 300-600 mb level of the troposphere which is a key region for storm growth and formation. Water vapor is always present, so you can see areas where the air is dry and areas where it is humid. In the picture above, red colors represent areas with low water vapor and green areas represent areas with high water vapor. Water vapor imagery is also very useful for determining where the center of low pressure in a specific storm is, as a storm undergoing cyclogenesis carves out a "dry slot" near the area of lowest pressure. I remember a storm back on October 18, 2007 that was poorly forecast and the center of low pressure was impossible to detect on infrared or visible imagery. The water vapor image, however, showed a clear dry slot, and this was used by the National Weather Service to determine where the low actually was.
One other note: there are only two satellites that the U.S. uses for most of these images: the two geostationary satellites that are located over the equator at a height of 36,000 km (GOES-West and GOES-East). There are also polar orbiting satellites, but I'll touch on those in a later blog. There are not separate satellites for each image; each satellite has the capability of taking visible, infrared, water vapor, and a host of other satellite images.
Alright, now a perfectly seamless transition back to thundershowers. I'm pretty slick.
We get our thundershowers when we have have unstable air over the region (i.e. a large decrease in temperature with height). Most of our thundershowers occur during spring because the upper atmosphere is very cold and the increasing solar insolation due to higher sun angles heats up the lower part of the atmosphere. Some of you may be familiar with lapse rates... as air rises, it cools at a rate of 9.8 degrees Celsius per km if it is unsaturated and 6.5 degrees Celsius per km if it is unsaturated. If the environmental lapse rate (the change in temperature in height in the environment) is higher than either of these lapse rates, an air parcel that rises will cool at a slower rate than the environment around it, and it will continue to rise because warmer air is less dense. This is what is meant by instability - the tendency for air parcels to rise.
We'll see if we get any thunderstorms tomorrow. It's kind of a crap-shoot, so don't get mad at me if I'm wrong. In case you haven't noticed, that happens a lot.

Bachelor alum Michelle Money revealed recently that she got pregnant at 15 and placed her son for adoption. The reality star looked back at her emotional experience in a new promotional video for the skincare brand PMD.
"I've been known for being very real and upfront, but there's a big part of what makes me me that I've never shared before. When I was 15 years old I got pregnant," Money, 35, says in the clip, which was released on July 22.
"You go through all of the options in your head of how to deal with this," she continues. "The decision to place this baby for adoption was not an easy one, but it was the right one. The day came, my water broke. It was bittersweet. It was just very bittersweet. Just the process of labor and the process of delivering and feeling love that I've never felt before. It rocked me."
In the video, the hairstylist shares footage of herself that was taken after she delivered the baby boy. The clip shows her holding the newborn in her arms while sitting on a hospital bed.
"When the moment came for me to say goodbye and hand him over to the social worker … it was the hardest thing I've ever done," Money adds.
The days and even years that followed were just as difficult. "I was really consumed with trying to prove myself to everyone and caring a lot about what people thought of me. I lost myself in that for a long time really trying to overcompensate from this mistake that I made," she says. "It's taken a lot for me to get here. It doesn't happen overnight where you get to where you can feel so confident in the decisions you've made in life and the trials that you've gone through."
The Utah native hopes that she can be an inspiration for other women who are going through a hardship in their lives. "My wish for every woman is for them to be able to look at themselves in the mirror and love every challenge, every trial, every heartache that they've experienced in their life and still feel beautiful," she says. "That, to me, is true beauty."
Money is best known for competing for Brad Womack's love on season 15 of The Bachelor in 2011. She has also appeared on Bachelor Pad (2011) and Bachelor in Paradise (2014). She's currently starring on Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars.

Catholics have gained, Protestants and Jews have lost members, and the U.S. Senate has its first Buddhist, according to a survey of the new 113th Congress by the Pew Center for Religion and Public Life. And Congress has lost its first self-professed non-believer.
Protestants are the largest group on Capitol Hill — the one in Washington, D.C. — with 299 of the 533 senators and House members sworn in on Thursday. (The House has two vacancies.) The figure is eight fewer than in the last Congress, and down significantly from historic levels.
The number of Catholics in Congress is up seven to 163, or about 30 percent of those serving. It's not of much comfort to the nation's conservative bishops, since prominent Catholics like House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Barbara Mikulski are pro-choice and support including contraception in employers' health care plans.
The ranks of Jewish members in Congress have shrunk from 39 to 33, with a pair of notable retirements — Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., and Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Wis. — in the ranks. The U.S. Senate still has 11 members who are Jewish.
Mitt Romney lost the presidency, but the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) numbers 15 in the new Congress, including such prominent members as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, as well as newly elected Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz.
Among those listing themselves as Protestant, Baptists constitute the largest number — 73 — followed by 46 Methodists, 43 Presbyterians, 39 Episcopalians and 23 Lutherans. Protestants are 56 percent of the Congress, but more than 70 percent of its Republican ranks.
The professed non-believer — veteran Rep. Fortney "Pete" Stark, D-Calif. — was defeated by a fellow Democrat in his East Bay district.
Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, is the first Buddhist in Congress' upper chamber. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, who has embraced Hinduism, was elected to fill Hirono's House seat.
Ten members of Congress answered "did not know" or refused to participate in the Pew survey.
In the executive branch, President Obama and his family have worshiped at several churches in Washington, D.C., but have not joined a congregation. Vice President Joe Biden is a devout Catholic, who even shows up with ashes on his forehead after early morning mass on Ash Wednesday.

Better Weather Ahead
The recent spat of stormy weather across Wyoming will slowly ease over the next few days. There will be a fast moving weather system that will bring a chance for scattered rain and snow showers to the far western mountains and valleys tonight and Tuesday. Only a few isolated showers will make it east of the divide. Sometimes windy, but warmer and drier weather is expected for Casper and Wyoming from Wednesday through Saturday.

'R' is for Rain
I started with a piece of 6x7 inch white card stock and punched the 2 holes on the correct side to make my book page. I glued the dictionary page to the base and then coloured with Tim Holtz faded jeans distress ink before spritzing with 3 blue Dylusions ink sprays and spritzing with water (unfortunately I made an error by forgetting to cover my word and definition before adding the colour). Next I stamped the umbrella man by Tim Holtz and the water droplets from Designs by Ryn in black ink and then added a white dot to each drop. I also added black and white pen lines around the edge of the page and doodled around the word and definition then highlighted the man and covered the word with Tim Holtz rock candy crackle paint. Finally I added the appropriate Tim Holtz alphabet letter and stamped my chosen word onto black card stock.

Continual Planning for Search and Rescue Robots
Luis Pineda, Takeshi Takahashi, Hee-Tae Jung, Shlomo Zilberstein, and Roderic Grupen. Continual Planning for Search and Rescue Robots. Proceedings of the IEEE-RAS 15th International Conference on Humanoid Robots (Humanoids), 243-248, Seoul, Korea, 2015.
The deployment of robots for emergency response tasks such as search and rescue is a promising application of robotics with growing importance. Given the perilous nature of these tasks, autonomous robot operation is highly desirable in order to reduce the risk imposed on the human rescue team. While much work has been done on creating robotic systems that can be deployed for search and rescue, limited work has been devoted to devise efficient real-time automated planning algorithms for these tasks. In this work, we present REDHI, an efficient algorithm for solving probabilistic models of complex problems such as search and rescue. We evaluate our algorithm on the search and rescue problem using both an abstract domain representation and a semi-realistic simulator of an existing robot system. The results show that REDHI can obtain near optimal performance with negligible planning time.

Noahs Flood Hypothesis May Not Hold Water
In 1996, marine geologists William Ryan and Walter Pitman published a scientifically popular Noahs Flood Hypothesis. The researchers presented evidence of a bursting flood about 7,500 years ago in what is now the Black Sea. This, some say, supports the biblical story of Noahs ark.
But, such a forceful flood could not have taken place, says Jun Abrajano, professor of earth and environmental sciences at Rensselaer. He is part of an international team of scientists who refute the so-called Noahs Flood Hypothesis.
Abrajano cites evidence of a much more gradual rising of the Black Sea that began to occur 10,000 years ago and continued for 2,000 years.
According to the Noahs Flood Hypothesis, the Black Sea was a freshwater lake separated from the Mediterranean Sea by a narrow strip of land now broken by the Bosporus Strait. Ryan and Pitman argue that the Mediterranean broke through the land and inundated the Black Sea with more than 200 times the force of Niagara Falls. The salty powerful flood swiftly killed the freshwater mollusks in the Black Sea. This, they say, accounts for fossil remains that can be dated back 7,500 years.
Abrajanos team has challenged the theory by studying sediments from the Marmara Sea, which sits next to the Black Sea and opens into the Mediterranean.
The team found a rich mud, called sapropel, in the Marmara. The mud provides evidence that there has been sustained interaction between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea for at least 10,000 years.
For the Noahs Ark Hypothesis to be correct, one has to speculate that there was no flowing of water between the Black Sea and the Marmara Sea before the speculated great deluge, says Abrajano. We have found this to be incorrect.
GSA (Geological Society of America) Today magazine published a paper based on Abrajanos research in its May 2002 edition. His research also will be published this year in Marine Geology, an international science journal.

"The PV-1000 was a video game console manufactured by Casio and released in Japan in 1983. The PV-1000 was powered by a Z80A micro-processor, and had only 2 KB RAM available, with 1 KB devoted to its character generator. It had a 256x192 pixel resolution and had 8 available colours. It was released alongside a computer known as the PV-2000, which is compatible with PV-1000 controllers but not games. In the same year Casio released two other consoles, the PV-7 and the PV-16 which were MSX computers. The PV-1000 initially sold for 14,800¥.
Casio failed to achieve a significant market share due to the success of the Nintendo Entertainment System. It is said to have been pulled from the shelves within a matter of weeks, making the system extremely rare." (Wikipedia)

An interventional strategy was better than a conservative strategy in unstable angina or non–ST-elevation MIPDF
ACP J Club. 2003 Mar-Apr;138:32. doi:10.7326/ACPJC-2003-138-2-032
Source Citation
Fox KA, Poole-Wilson PA, Henderson RA, et al. Interventional versus conservative treatment for patients with unstable angina or non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction: the British Heart Foundation RITA 3 randomised trial. Lancet. 2002;360:743-51. [PubMed ID: 12241831] (All 2003 articles were reviewed for relevancy, and abstracts were last revised in 2009.)
In patients with unstable angina or non–ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MI), is an interventional strategy better than a conservative strategy?
Randomized {allocation concealed*}†, blinded {outcome assessors, data analysts, monitoring committee, and manuscript writers}†,* controlled trial with median follow-up of 2 years (Randomized Intervention Trial of unstable Angina [RITA 3]).
45 hospitals in England and Scotland, UK.
1810 patients (mean age 62 y, 62% men) with suspected cardiac chest pain at rest and ≥ 1 of ischemia on electrocardiography, previous MI, or arteriographically proven coronary artery disease. Exclusion criteria included probable evolving MI, newly developed pathologic Q waves, and elevated creatine kinase levels. 97% of patients had ≥ 1 year of follow-up.
Patients were allocated to a conservative (n = 915) or an interventional (n = 895) strategy. The conservative strategy included antianginal and antithrombotic medication, with the goal of controlling angina. The interventional strategy included the same medications used in the conservative strategy plus early coronary arteriography and subsequent revascularization. In both groups, the antithrombin agent was enoxaparin, given 1 mg/kg of body weight twice daily subcutaneously for 2 to 8 days.
Main outcome measures
Main outcomes were a combined rate of death, nonfatal MI, or refractory angina at 4 months, and a combined rate of death or nonfatal MI at 1 year.
Main results
Analysis was by intention to treat. At 4 months, the interventional strategy reduced the combined rate of death, nonfatal MI, or refractory angina more than did the conservative strategy (Table). The interventional strategy reduced the rate of refractory angina more than did the conservative strategy at both 4 months and 1 year (Table). The interventional and conservative strategies did not differ for the combined rate of death or nonfatal MI at 1 year (Table), or for death (P = 0.40) or MI (P = 0.32) at a median follow-up of 2 years.
In patients with unstable angina or non–ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MI), an interventional strategy was better than a conservative strategy in reducing the risk for refractory angina with no increase in death or MI.

The RITA 3 trial provides convincing data that patients with non–ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome benefit from an early invasive strategy of coronary arteriography and revascularization during the index hospitalization. The results are complementary to the FRISC II study (1) and the TACTICS–TIMI-18 study (2). In the era of aspirin, glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists, unfractionated or low-molecular-weight heparin, thienopyridines, and coronary stents, these trials show that the benefits of an early invasive strategy for reducing recurrent MI, angina, and perhaps mortality at 6 to 24 months outweigh the risks for procedure-related events in non–ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes.
Which patients derive the greatest benefit? In the FRISC II and TACTICS–TIMI-18 (1, 2), patients with higher risk had the greatest benefit. This includes patients with troponin elevation at admission, ischemic electrocardiographic changes, diabetes mellitus, and previous MI; men; and persons aged > 65 years. RITA 3 shows superiority of an early invasive strategy despite having enrolled a lower risk population, which excluded patients with evolving non–ST-elevation MI and > 50% of the patients had single-vessel or no coronary disease at angiography. These 3 trials together enrolled patients who are broadly representative of patients presenting with non–ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes. A caveat is that in women, benefit or harm from an early invasive strategy cannot be shown from the 3 trials.
The RITA 3 hypothesis that routine early angiography with myocardial revascularization is superior to a conservative strategy in non–ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome has been confirmed. The results are congruent with other large studies examining contemporary medical and revascularization therapies. Except for patients with characteristics that place them at particularly high risk for procedure-related complications, routine early angiography and myocardial revascularization should be used in patients with intermediate- and high-risk acute coronary syndrome.

Today, Cayo Coco is a paradisiacal place relevant for the balance and degree of preservation of the ecosystem it has attained, by protecting its virgin atmosphere isolated from modern world. Its beach is 10 Km long, of fine sand and warm and crystal-clear waters. A privileged reserve for flora and fauna, this key hosts species such as the wading birds, particularly the coconut the island was named after, the gray heron, and the pink flamingo which total over 30 000 and is among the biggest herds in the world. It is also favorite habitat for other bird species such as the cormorant, woodpecker, mockingbird, pelicans and many duck species.

Half of me wants to write a long post of reasons why I haven't been blogging and the other half wants to make an extremely quick review of at least something I've had for months.
But because it's almost midnight and it still is a work night, I'll go with the latter.
Here's a quick review and lip swatch of the Lime Crime Opaque Lipstick in Centrifuschia and hopefully I stick to the topic.
(Bought at Chedelyn's for PHP780.00)
1. Has that vanilla scent like that of MAC lipsticks.
2. Comes in a fat bullet. Design is a little bit childish for me but it kinda grows on you though. You get obsessed over making sure that the Unicorn looks right.
3. Creamy and bleeds during application.
4. Last for about 6 hours without eating and heavy sipping, leaves a stain on the lips.
5. Not drying.
6. When eating and drinking, I'd say 4 hours because it still does leave a stain on the lips. But touch ups are definitely necessary if you want it to look flawless.
7. Best worn with warm tops (just something I noticed). #summerishere
8. Opaque.
Is it a good buy? Yes. I may not sound enthusiastic, but when I had this on the first time I fell in love with it and I still am.
Now I don't usually do this, but I'm going to take a #selfie and finally put a face to this blog(because it's pointless to not put one when the title suggests how Centrifuschia looks on skin tones like mine). Please excuse the ugliness.
Until the next post! :*

These days, effective document management means accessibility from anywhere on the planet, electronic storage, reliable backup, and instant document modification updates. KnowledgeTree offers all that and more. It's available in several editions, including an open source community version (which we reviewed last year) that businesses can tailor to their individual needs.
You can install KnowledgeTree in-house on your company's server or use it as an online, hosted service. With it, you can create, edit, and store documents from Linux, Mac, and Windows computer. KnowledgeTreeLive, the hosted version, can be accessed from any computer with an Internet connection and a supported browser -- Firefox, Safari, or Internet Explorer.
The KnowledgeTree Community Edition, licensed under the GNU GPLv3, is available as a free download. It allows users to access documents from third-party WebDAV clients and use the same document management features as the other versions, including drag and drop, versioning, and search. Licenses for commercial versions of KnowledgeTree are available on a per-named-user basis and start at $120 per year. The Community Edition offers many of the same features as the paid versions, but lacks integration with popular Microsoft applications like Word and Excel. The main difference between the two, however, is that the paid versions come with technical support, while the Community Edition does not.
The hosted version, KnowledgeTree Live, is $30 per user per month, and you need a minimum of three users to get started. All data is stored on Amazon's S3 storage service, which provides 10GB of space for each registered user. Businesses using the Community Edition can arrange for KnowledgeTree's tech support to migrate all their data to the Live service and, in the event they wish to later discontinue the service, restore a full backup of all data into the open source edition.
Though the Live version was only recently released from beta, KnowledgeTree's other versions have been in use for more than a year. DHL Global Mail uses the software as a workflow and versioning system that's tied to an in-house system to provide a business continuity and disaster recovery program for the Americas Region of its mail service.
DHL's director of quality, Dan Wilder, says, "We use it for Microsoft Word documents to manage change, then publish these documents in PDF format to the field for use in execution. We have defined a complete end-to-end solution that incorporates KT as the document management system."
Wilder says the deploying KnowledgeTree was "neither difficult nor easy," and the biggest challenge was "to meet very specific needs to bulk import the 24 elements of metadata associated with [our] documents. We looked at other solutions and ultimately decided upon KnowledgeTree because its workflow management met our needs, along with its open API to enable eventual interconnection between other applications within this program and others that are being developed."
Wilder advises companies that are considering deploying this software make sure to plan, and then plan some more. "Thoroughly review the intended use, read the information on KnowledgeTree, then design an implementation plan to achieve the desired results. It sounds easy, [and] some items are, while others are not -- it all goes back to proper planning."
Though the company has many large customers, Knowledge Tree CEO Daniel Chalef says small businesses ought not to overlook what KnowledgeTree can offer, because "typically the larger organizations utilize KnowledgeTree at a department, branch, or team level, where the challenges they face are similar to smaller organizations.
"We expect a wide range of customers to leverage KnowledgeTreeLive, ranging from ... three to five users to much larger organizations -- we've had sales queries for 50+ users. We believe the service as a software system has strong potential for growth in the professional services space."
Building the Live version on top of the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud presented some challenges to KnowledgeTree's development team. Chalef says in addition to the goal of keeping the same core architecture, Live's development also required a "mind shift" when considering how to overcome the lack of persistent storage within EC2 and ways in which to store data in the cloud.
"We developed some innovative and exciting approaches to cater [to those issues]," he says, "and in so doing, we developed technologies that we can leverage on-premise. For example, [in Q2, we will] provide our on-premise appliance users with an overnight backup into the cloud. Web-scale computing, whereby you can scale to meet very sudden and large load, is itself a large challenge, and Amazon provides a great platform to meet this challenge."
In keeping with KnowledgeTree's commitment to the open source community, the company encourages developers to use its APIs to develop plugins that will increase the software's functionality. More than 25 language pack are already available, as are integration tools for SugarCRM, ProcessMaker, and Drupal.
"We encourage integration points with other, complementary open source applications. The more value we as open source vendors can provide our customers, the better," Chalef says.
To learn more about why the creators of KnowledgeTree value the open source community, and why they decided to offer an open version of their software, be sure to watch the video of Robin 'Roblimo' Miller's interview with Chalef and co-founder John Thorne.

Bazil had a boyfriend last year who would come to the fence every day and serenade her with his love tones. She'd go out and bark back; the two of them would go back and forth all day singing to each other. At the end of the summer, we thought Stanley Squirrel had left her, never to be seen again.
Well yesterday morning, I let the dogs out for their morning yard patrol and low and behold, Stanley's familiar screech was back! He is looking a little thinner from his winter nap but Bazil was so happy to see her lost love, she didn't care!
The two of them have been at it for two days now, catching up on all their lost time. I think wedding bells may be heard by summer's end!

@Alex - making it unmemorable until you need to remember it is quite a feat.

I just reviewed a book that had some good plot development, some well-defined characters etc, but it didn't do a good job at "planting" those key story events. I couldn't put my finger on why I couldn't give this book a rave review until I read your post.

Excellent post. There are times where I skim over larger paragraphs or miss something if I'm tired. I know the writer doesn't want to shine a big bright spotlight on the clue, but sometimes it helps a bit.

I was reading a book by John le Carré and it was packed with connections between characters, locations, and objects; I loved the way he tied things together. It was an interesting combination of subtle and highlighted.
- 19 July 2013 at 23:11
- mooderino said...
@Charmaine - key in mysteries, but useful in most genres.
@Rachna - often the only way to be sure is trial and error (and beta readers).
@TGE - the most blatant plants can sometimes be the most satisfying if they live up to billing. And at the same time, a reveal that was hiding in plain sight can be just as rewarding. Also helps if your John le Carre.

A wall can mean many things in different circumstances. To steal a line (that I can,t remember' from a movie on the Rom Channel … The (insert latin or greek or some other relevant language here) Greek have 13 or 14 different ways to say love, and English has one.
Wall is the same, I have an emotional wall, physical wall like the one that holds up your house. The 'wall of paperwork' or the 'wall of washing'.
Then there is 'the wall'. A location within my parents house that holds awards, academic awards. It's become a game in my household in which pieces of paper are collected and mounted upon this wall. It makes my parents proud and keeps them somewhere safe.
In order to finally get 'one more' certificate on the wall, my Saturday will be filled with organising a portfolio to gain another certificate. Interestingly the lowest on my academic statement another Vocational Certificate to broaden, yet again, my scope of qualification.
One month to go before another year is wound now, the ups and downs of the last 4 years. Four years filled with planes, trains and automobiles, I can even legally drive one now. From living in glitz and glamour to camping in soggy waterlogged field, from business class to bogan class, Ive done it all. Weather boards to a brick and tile, inside a transportable box to luxury apartment living. Surrounded by. Mountains of belongings, spread across 3 houses to 23kg of luggage to sustain me for a month. Finding my items in storage facilities, displayed in perfect locations to back sheds under tarpaulins.
Well no more time for wishful thinking, it's noose to the grind and a day of study and domestic bliss.

Easter 2012
http://craftysketches.blogspot.com/2012/05/sketch-for-june.html) I had Easter pics from this year that I hadn't scrapped yet, so I thought these 2 yard statues would be perfect for this sketch! The paper is My Mind's Eye (MME) Bella Bella, the green/white/black striped paper is Mambi Spring Kit & so are the bling & tulip in the bottom corner. The ribbon is American Crafts Premium Ribbon. The puffy flowers at the top are Hallmark Easter stickers. The butterfly in the top left corner is The Paper Studio Stickabilities. My grandmama was given these statues as Christmas presents. I've never really noticed them that much in her yard before.

Building the critical mass for STPs in small countries: The Namibian experience.
Toelg, Christian
Honsbein, Dagmar
MetadataShow full item record
Building science & technology parks (STPs) requires a critical mass of research institutions and innovative companies as well as a significant number of innovative emerging companies. Companies in small developing countries such as Namibia face numerous challenges stifling their potential growth and preventing them from becoming suitable tenants of an STP. Given this environment, the implementation of the Science & Technology Park at the Namibia Business Innovation Centre (NBIC) was planned as the last step of a staged rollout of programmes targeting entrepreneurs and SMEs across the country in a first and a business incubator as a second step. These steps are designed to build a critical mass of innovative start-up companies that eventually 'graduate' from programmes and incubator to move into the STP. At the same time, NBIC is partnering with existing technology companies that are interested in moving into the STP. A key motivation here is that the STP will develop training programmes for employees and graduates in industry-relevant skills leading to industry certification. The first phase of implementation already exposed a wide array of challenges for entrepreneurs and existing SMEs as well as a need to focus stronger on rural areas to support entrepreneurs there. We report on the status of implantation and the lessons learned in creating a critical mass for a sustainable STP in Namibia.

The 1998 Act of the Manitoba Legislature entrusted CMU's mission, Board, and programs to the 'Mennonite community'—which includes the individuals, congregations, and denominations from assorted Mennonite conferences as well as an ecumenically diverse community of individuals and groups.
The Shared Convictions of Mennonite World Conference* is a formal statement through which this mandate is given expression and which connects CMU with Anabaptist/Mennonite bodies world-wide.
By the grace of God, we seek to live and proclaim the good news of reconciliation in Jesus Christ. As part of the one body of Christ at all times and places, we hold the following to be central to our belief and practice:
In these convictions we draw inspiration from Anabaptist forebears of the 16th century, who modeled radical discipleship to Jesus Christ. We seek to walk in his name by the power of the Holy Spirit, as we confidently await Christ's return and the final fulfillment of God's kingdom.
Adopted by Mennonite World Conference
General Council, March 15, 2006
*Mennonite World Conference consists of the majority of the global Christian churches rooted in the 16th century Radical Reformation in Europe, particularly in the Anabaptist movement. MWC membership in 2015 included over 100 Mennonite and Brethren in Christ national church conferences from 56 countries.
Students from many denominations study at CMU. Formally, CMU is related to two church bodies: Mennonite Church Canada and the Mennonite Brethren Church of Manitoba. CMU connects with many more denominations through particular programs and partnerships.
Learn more about the mission and activities of these denominations by visiting their web sites.

When attempting to use a Silverlight application in the 64-bit version of IE you will get this message. "Microsoft Silverlight cannot be used in browsers running in 64 bit mode." At first I was disappointed because I would like to see more of the industry move to 64 bit. Heck they are selling it at Best Buy now. However does Silverlight really need 64 bit? 64 bit gives you more throughput on the processor and more access to memory. But it is defiantly not typical for Silverlight applications to need that much memory and/or do highly processor...

In post in Joe Healy's blog (http://www.devfish.net/FullBlogItemView.aspx?BlogId=441) he said "Pick which you think is cooler, the Silverlight playback or Halo3 trailer itself". I need an option C. I did not have Silverlight installed. So when I went to the page it told me to download it, and within 30 seconds Silverlight was installed and I was watching the movie. So I vote for the easy installation as the coolest. But the video was awesome also!
