Welcome to Web Traffic Secrets
Reseller Site Traffic Web Article
What you never knew about web traffic. All you needed to know, and never knew about web traffic are mentioned in this article. Read it to confirm our views! Maximize Your Exposure - Write Articles that Refer to Your Website The more interesting an article, the more takers there are for the article. So we have made it a point to make this article on web traffic as interesting as possible! It is not necessary that only the learned can write about web traffic. As long as one ahs a flair for writing, and an interest for gaining information on web traffic, anyone can write about it. It would be hopeless trying to get people who are not interested in knowing more about web traffic to read articles pertaining to it. Only people interested in web traffic will enjoy this article. Most serious businesses already have their website up and running, whether they have a small store location or strictly sell their products or services online. Nowadays, having a website is almost a requirement. Once you have your website, the world is not going to know you exist; you must promote your website yourself. After all, you put in all that time and effort into starting up a website, not to mention the cost, now it is up to you to make sure it all pays off. Not only do you have to steer the traffic to your website, but you also have to turn those visitors into customers. You have to have something to offer them to convert visitors into customers, and to keep them coming back. Customers can always generate more business through word of mouth and act as your own personal marketers. One key way to keep the customers, and potential customers, coming back is to write your own articles that refer to your website for maximum exposure. There are many free websites where you can write and post articles about your website and what your website can do for others. First, if you are not an experienced writer, take the time to learn how to write articles. Collecting a few tips never hurts. If you do not have the time, but have the extra finances, you can choose to hire a writer or business to write the articles and post them for you. Although this is most convenient, it may prove to be quite costly in the end. Here are some tips on how you can maximize your exposure by writing articles referring to your website: We have not actually resorted to roundabout means of getting our message on web traffic through to you. All the matter here is genuine and to the point. 1. Choose a particular product, service, or update on which you want to write an article. Keep all articles between 75 and 1200 words. Write in layman terms and avoid all the long technical and scientific mumbo jumbo. Keep the sentences short and to the point. Keep the paragraphs short and limited to one topic. You do not want to start writing about how great your peas are in one paragraph and start in on your great carrots in the same paragraph. If you are selling vegetables and want to write about your vegetables, give the peas and carrots there own paragraph. To err is human, to forgive is divine. So we would indeed deem you to be divine if you forgive us for any misunderstandings that may arise in this article on web traffic. We would like you to leisurely go through this article on web traffic to get the real impact of the article. web traffic is a topic that has to be read clearly to be understood. 2. It is important to upload new material. It does not take long for an article to go stale. You want to keep useful and original information coming on a regular basis. You have to prove to your customers that you are still there running and active website. If you wrote your last article in October of 2004, then your website would appear to be unreliable or abandoned. Keep your customers and all of your potential customers up-to-date and provide them with free information that they would not be able to find anywhere else. 3. Think of how your new article will benefit your customers. Try to write some "how-to" articles. Many people are most interested in how-to articles. Helping your customers find out how they would benefit from your article will earn you the respect and trust you deserve and from which you can profit. Trustworthy businesses generate loyal customers. 4. If you choose not to write an article, you can delve into articles, tips, testimonials or book excerpts written by other people on websites and e-zines and copy and paste them to your site. Keep in mind that you must have the writer's or website owner's permission to do so beforehand. Although this is not something to do on a regular basis, it can be nice filler for your website. Always be sure to choose the articles with the content relating to your website. It is your job to write something your customers want to read and keep them coming back for more. Updating your website on a regular basis is a great way to let your customers know that you are there. By tending to your website on a regular basis, you let them know you have not abandoned your post. You can also keep your customers returning to your site by offering monthly specials. Try offering attractive incentives such as Free Shipping Month, Free Gift Month, Discount Month, or Buy One Get One Free Month. It is up to you to offer your customers incentives to return to your website. We have taken the privilege of proclaiming this article to be a very informative and interesting article on web traffic. We now give you the liberty to proclaim it too. The aim of this article was to spread as much information on web traffic as possible. We surely do hope that we have succeeded in it.

The theme for July is #whodoneit, and this month we will be reading crime and mystery books, both fiction and non fiction.
With fiction sub genres like detective (men or women in charge), legal, historical, psychological, forensic, cosy corner, comic capers, spy and suspense there is a never ending supply of reading material. Who really "done it"? Does the ultimate punishment fit the crime? Are the perpetrators even caught?
There's no shortage of true crime to read either. Seedy, cruel, heartbreaking, lawbreaking, fascinating, and often all at once.
And if you're not usually a fan of the Crime genre, you might be surprised where else crime and mystery can turn up! From Truman Capote's chilling cultural analysis of mid 20thC America in In Cold Blood, Historical Fiction like Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose, or Josephine Tey's The Daughter of Time, to the Science Fiction short stories of Philip K. Dick, and old children's favourites like Louise Fitzhugh's Harriet the Spy or Enid Blighton, it seems that crime and mystery are everywhere.
So come join us and tweet about what you are reading this July using the twitter hashtag #whodoneit. You can also use this tag on other social media sites such as flickr or when you post about your reading on your blog.
You might also want to add tags for each month's reading to Trove, Library Thing, and your library catalogue (if that is possible) – so that other people can see what you are reading.
We hope you will join us in our suspenseful reading, and share your own crime and mystery reads during #whoedoneit.

Center For Advanced Dentistry, PLLC - Kent E. White, DDS :: Tennessee
2300 21st Avenue South #103
Nashville, Tennessee 37212
(615) 383-6787
Kent E. White, DDS
Completed Courses:
Meet the Dentist
Completed Courses:
Kent E. White, DDS
Dr. Kent E. White is an elite denture dentist who practices at the exceptional full-service Center for Advanced Dentistry. In addition to dentures, Dr. White provides cosmetic dentistry services like porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, and more. FOY Dentures® are an excellent match for Dr. White's practice, because he is also skilled in neuromuscular dentistry, which allows him to help his guests get comfortable results from their treatments.
A Highly Talented Denture Dentist
One of the things that sets denture dentist Dr. White apart is the exceptional level of his training, but perhaps even more important is the level of his talent. Any denture dentist can train, but only those with talent are capable of translating that training into superb results for their patients. Dr. White's training includes a general practice residency at the Miami School of Medicine, and an implant residency with implant pioneers Dr. Arun Garg and Dr. Carl Misch.
Dr. White's talent as a denture dentist was recognized when he was named a senior clinical instructor at the world-recognized Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies (LVI) in 1999. At the time, he was the youngest person to hold this title.
Dr. White's skill as a denture dentist draws patients from across the country, including some from New York and LA.
Demand for a Denture Dentist in Nashville
Tennessee has the second worst oral health of any state in the nation, so it naturally has a very high demand for a denture dentist. Nashville has better oral health than the rest of the state, but it is still below the national average. Although Nashville has a relatively young population as would be expected for an epicenter of the entertainment industry, which naturally draws youth to it, it also has a relatively high demand for a denture dentist.
One thing that is commonly held up as a positive aspect of health in Tennessee is the low health disparity related to income and education. Unfortunately, that partly indicates that even people with high incomes and education levels also have poor oral health. One of the main contributing factors here is a high smoking rate, since smoking can double or triple your risk of tooth loss. About 21% of the population in Nashville are smokers. Part of the effects of this is Nashville's high rate of tooth loss: about 16% of Nashville adults have lost six or more teeth, compared to only 10% nationwide. In other words, demand for a denture dentist is about 1.6 times as high as it is in the country as a whole.
Why FOY Dentures® Are a Great Fit for Nashville
FOY Dentures® are an ideal solution for Nashville's combination of youthful population, low health disparity, and high rates of tooth loss, especially considering many people who need a denture dentist are also in the public eye.
A Nashville denture dentist is going to see more young people who need dentures than in other parts of the country. Young people benefit from FOY Dentures® because the aesthetics help conceal that a person needed dentures at a young age. But the function also matters. While older people might (sometimes) accept that having dentures means accepting limits in their diet, young people have too much to look forward to to accept this limitation. And young people appreciate that FOY Dentures® support an active lifestyle.
People with higher levels of income and education also benefit from FOY Dentures®. The ability to retain a youthful appearance is important for people who work in highly competitive industries where the aging caused by dentures might make a person look uncompetitive or unmotivated. And clarity of speech matters when making important presentations or pitches. And being able to enjoy a full range of food matters when so many deals are made over meals.
Finally, FOY Dentures® are a vital asset for anyone who is in the public eye. Being able to enunciate clearly matters whether you're hosting a charitable event or singing on stage or in studio.
It's for these reasons that denture dentist Dr. White feels FOY Dentures® are the best dentures for Nashville.

East German antiaircraft companies were one of three types. Ideally, the East Germans strove for companies that were one platoon of SAM (surface to air missle) vehicles and one platoon of SPAAG's (self-propelled antiaircraft gun), as that was the model dictated by Soviet doctrine. The most up-to-date SAM vehicle in the East German inventory was the SA-9 Gaskin:
Four vehicles would make up one of the two platoons of the antiaircraft company. More on this in a moment.
The second platoon would be made up of four self-propelled antiaircraft guns, the most modern being the ZSU-23-4 Shilka:
Now let's come back to the SA-9 Gaskin. East Germany purchased only 12 vehicles from the Soviets and never bought any beyond that. In other words, enough to to equip only three platoons and thus only three companies. Those companies not fortunate enough to have a platoon of Gaskins had to make do with two platoons of SPAAG's. So, the three types of East German antiaircraft companies seen were:
4x SA-9 Gaskin and 4x ZSU-23-4
4x ZSU-23-4 and 4x ZSU-57-2
8x ZSU-23-4
Though the last type was less common due to the shortage of ZSU-23-4's and if seen, it would be with an armored unit.
And here are my platoons of each:
As you perhaps (i.e. hopefully) can tell from some of the above photos, I've bought a macro lens for my iPhone 5. I don't know why people bitch so much about China. $2.75 INCLUDING postage!! It doesn't take GREAT quality photos, but for $2.75 what do you want? The prices I saw from American companies (selling the identical Chinese-made product!) were all over $10 and as much as $25!!
That's it for this post. More during the coming weekend!

We will not challenge the truth that men like eyes. Will specify only that the first thing they pay attention to it feet. How long, how slender Men of the Renaissance love thick legs. There was a view that the thicker the legs of women, the stronger the sexual pleasure of men. At the time of Pushkin tastes became more refined and stronger sex began to appreciate her shapely legs, which judging by the testimony of Alexander Pushkin – "As soon as my only weapon you can find in Russia a whole two pairs of shapely women's legs were in short supply.
Now times have changed and the fashion for some reason, long and thin legs. What to do if a woman has too long legs? First – take that as a granted the second set, or hide behind the surplus next attribute is a nice looking men are priests. Why then write about them since the Renaissance and today is considered indecent, but because it paints a woman priest. A woman without a priests, like a ship without a rudder loses its status in the stormy ocean of male attention. Priests are different.
Every priest is a whole world that this man can learn lifelong good priest gives a woman confidence and allows feel attractive. The good priest – a guarantee of a successful career. The good priest – is the foundation of a strong family. Good pop, like a fine work of art has its own unique character and style.

One of the more common goals/challenges that emerges regularly in education is the subject of relevance. Relevance is the idea of connecting learning to things that matter. And we know what matters to all of us are things that we can see, connect and apply. It's what's real right?
With than in mind, how do we work to create learning experiences that are 'real' for all students? Well, this is challenging in that we have created entire systems of learning that are really built on artificial foundations vs. real ones.
As an example, our entire idea of the classroom is predicated on something that is really not real world or real – at least certainly not any longer. The set-up of the classroom - with students at desks or seats and a teacher at the front dispensing knowledge and instruction - comes from a time when information was in the hands of a few experts, while workers or employees worked in factories or factory-like situations. Additionally, our schools were created in time when academia was controlled through the classic top down approach.
Ironically, students have always learned outside of school. Whether it was working on the family farm, reading independently, having a part-time job, or any thousands of other activities, students, or people, learned constantly. The difference is that we haven't always viewed those real world or hands-on experiences as learning as much as we did the contrived, controlled and rather artificial confines of the classroom.
So, what do we do to change the artificiality of our traditional classroom, educational and learning environments? Well, first address the obvious physical limitations of the classrooms. Desks in rows are obviously not relevant any longer. Our work and employment worlds are not like that any more. And our schools, while slow to change, are aware that learning now involves things like technology integration, project-based experiences and teachers as facilitators. All of these imply that students sitting quietly in rows of desks in a classroom are not relevant any longer.
But we can't stop there. In addition to creating classrooms and learning spaces in terms of the seating, work spaces, etc., how else can learning expand and become more natural, more real and ultimately more relevant?
Many are experimenting with time. Why is it thought that learning only happens in these artificial and fabricated confines of a school day schedule, class periods, and official registered courses? And I'm not suggesting more homework. However, with the Internet's potential of 24-hour learning anywhere and anytime, why would we restrict learning to only when we're present, or only to 2nd period or only during the 180-day school calendar. Naturally, on-line learning has exploded due to this potential.
As students begin experiencing and ultimately viewing learning as something that is a personal and lifelong journey, the more learning will happen organically and naturally. Learning will be something that happens continually and constantly (like it always has been) and be something that the learner owns.If students or learners are pursuing an area or areas of passion and self-interest, as well as using all of the available tools in the world to do so, will we not see a different type of student and learner who extends their learning way beyond the classroom, bell schedule and school year?
Haven't educator always wanted lifelong learns who learn independently? Well, the time, tools and learners have arrived. Now what?
For classroom teachers and administrators who are charged with the duty or challenge of students' learning, this is going to require some creative breaking of the barriers.
Our questions that are going to continually challenge us are the following:
· Where can learning happen for a student outside of the classroom? Field Study, Job Shadowing, Internships, Externships, etc. These are not new ideas, but are going to now be something that all students need and require throughout their entire learning career? All students will need real learning opportunities that they can see, taste, touch and experience in order to learn at the highest of levels. They will need opportunities to apply what they learn both inside and outside of any educational institution or program.
· Will students' learning be expected to only occur during their registered courses and schedules? Or will we see a system that is more customized and personalized where students have learning plans and goals and they coordinate a plan to address those through all of the available resources and tools available? That might mean that a student's or learner's schedule, courses, credits, requirements, transcript, etc. all look very different from one another. Will our secondary and post-secondary institutions be able to handle that?
· Who are one's teachers and instructors? There is nothing wrong with having assigned teachers and facilitators, as well any number of administrative and/or support personnel dedicated to the learning goals and needs of any individual student. But do we stop there? Should all students have one or more professional mentors outside of the classroom or school confines? Sometimes this happens naturally, but all students need and deserve that. How many other adults, mentors or learning guides could a student have? We that one can't have too many in terms of having better opportunities and greater success. Bottom line, the official or assigned teacher or teachers may not be enough. There are too many needs, too much learning and too much potential to restrict it.
This list could grow naturally right? Things like location, space, time, schedules, personnel, resources and more should not restrict learning or the potential for any student to maximize their learning.
These will represent huge challenges for us as educators because it will challenge our own experiences and pre-conceived notions of learning, as well as require levels of creativity and innovation that will be unprecedented.

Une Princesse sans amour est une Princesse oubliée - Brandobscure
sam. 18 nov. 2017 - 15h33
Hi all,
I dug out my copy of Nier to replay it again since its one of my all time favourites. One thing i noticed was how effective the opening is -all the more so on replay when you know whats really going on- and it remains a favourite. It shows what looks like a snow covered ruin of a city in 'summer 2049' and a man with his sickly daughter makes a faustian deal with a book to gain powers to fight off waves of semi solid creatures called shades till his daughter collapses and he yells for help. Smash cut to '1000 years later' and the same father and daughter in very different clothes are in a fantasy looking village and everyones talking about how the world is nearing its end and burning out on fumes.
On replay the true nature of the opening is revealed to be super intersting, but on its own it remains one of my favourites because it raises so many questions to drag you into the story instead of so many games nowadays treating the opening like obligatory exposition or a tutorial to get out of the way.
Whats your favourite opening?
I did not find the right solution from the internet

It's hard to believe that after seven years of specializing in perfecting wardrobe basics that Everyone has yet to make jeans. But founder, Michael Preysman tells Vogue that denim is particularly challenging to get just right because women are so incredibly picky when it comes to jeans:
It's all about the fit, the fabrics, the right factory. Everything matters and it's such a specific product that women care so much about, so it took us a bit to get this launched.
But after finding the right combination of all of the above, Everlane is finally ready. And the bonus is that Saitex, the factory in Vietnam that will make the jeans, has "almost zero impact on the environment," Preysman says. Fast Company reports that "denim byproduct is turned into bricks and contaminated water is filtered."
The 11 ounce jeans will have 2 percent stretch and will launch on September 7. He says the design is rooted in American workwear, and will stay true to the brands identity and stay pretty minimal. Designs will be available for both men and women. Don't expect lots of rips or reconstruction, but Everlane will keep things interesting with on-trend silhouettes and washes.[Photos via Fast Company via Everlane]

- The exact origin is not known but research says millet was most likely cultivated simultaneously in Asia and Africa over 7000 years ago.
- It has been a staple in India and Africa for thousands of years. In the Old Testament millet is mentioned as a grain for making bread.
- Chinese archeologists found a 4000 year old bowl containing long noodles made from millet. The earliest written record of millet, "Fan Shen Chih Shu" 2800 BC, gives detailed instructions for growing and storing the grain.
- There is even evidence that millet was eaten and grown in the Stone Age in Switzerland.
- Millet first came to the U.S. in 1875, was consumed and grown by early settlers like corn, then fell into obscurity

Food and Safety Tips:
Millet contains small amounts of goiterogenic substances that limit uptake of iodine to the thyroid. The "thyroid function inhibitors" can cause goiter when consumed in large quantities; this may explain the correlation between millet consumption and goiter incidence in developing countries where millet constitutes a significant part of the diet. Also, in some of these countries there may be a lack of sufficient dietary iodine.
What would life be like without millet? Fortunately it is readily available for me as it grows right here in my home province of Alberta. For those of you who thought that millet was just bird food, it is actually also a powerfood for us. Other powerfoods in this category include:

IN THE wake of the mass shooting at the community college in Oregon last week – the 994th mass shooting since Barack Obama's re-election in November 2012 – the Los Angeles Times carried an editorial that began like this: "A gunman walked into a [fill in the blank] today and over the span of _____ minutes killed at least [number goes here] and wounded _____ more before [pick one] killing himself/dying in a shoot-out with police." It went on: "Hang that sentence on your refrigerator so it's handy for the next mass shooting. Will it be weeks before we learn of the next one? Days? Hours?"
This bleak opening paragraph perfectly captures the nihilism that is enveloping the country in the face of a cycle of violence it is powerless to break. From an outsider's perspective, America seems to be caught in a state of psychological paralysis – sick with self-loathing, but unwilling and unable to take the steps that might lead to its rehabilitation. Almost three years ago, the Sandy Hook massacre (when Adam Lanza killed 20 children and six adults with an arsenal of semi-automatic weapons) proved there was no act so heinous it could force the pro-gun lobby into retreat; ever since, the country's leaders and its citizens seem increasingly resigned to the rising death toll and its unassailable position as the spree killing capital of the world.
Certainly, Obama spoke of public resignation as he took to the White House lectern to lament the deaths of another nine students at the hands of another tooled-up loner obsessed with his own inadequacy and the infamy that can be achieved by pulling a trigger. Gone was the positivity he displayed earlier in his presidency when he still believed some measure of gun control might be within his reach. Now he talked of a country "numb" to the conveyor belt of tragedies, a country where such events have become routine and the reaction to them mechanical.
He was right, of course. For politicians, campaigners and journalists, campus massacres are now like an over-rehearsed play, where the actors have lost heart and are going through the motions. Everyone already knows the plot, how the main characters will respond and who will triumph in the end. The gun control lobby will say countries with tighter regulations over the ownership of weapons have fewer gun-related deaths and point out a bipartisan crackdown introduced in response to the Port Arthur massacre in 1996 saw firearm homicides in Australia drop by 59 per cent in the first decade. Then some people will get sidetracked by a debate on whether the real problem is a lack of resources for the mentally ill. But that won't matter because all other voices will be drowned out by the National Rifle Association and its emotive and disingenuous citing of the 2nd Amendment. The line: "Guns don't kill people, people kill people," will be repeated as if it were a profound observation as opposed to a facile cliché that crumbles in the face of the slightest scrutiny. Weapon sales will spike. And most depressingly, the name and face of the killer will lodge itself in our minds so we can call it up long after the names and faces of the victims have faded away.
Familiarity breeds contempt, they say; and it must be difficult for people to rouse themselves into a fresh state of fury every single time some loner vents his frustration on a roomful of innocents, especially when experience tells them such fury – and the articulation of it – makes no difference at all. But while the US as a whole may have reached an accommodation with mass shootings, regarding them as a regrettable but unavoidable part of its culture, the families bereaved by each new atrocity are entitled to national outrage. There is nothing routine about pushing through a police cordon to find out if your son or daughter has been shot or identifying their bodies on a mortuary slab. If the frequency of such events inures the country to individual pain – or if people have come to see such victims as collateral damage in the fight to preserve constitutional rights – the US is peering into a spiritual abyss.
Obama must shoulder some of the blame; he may have wept and railed at the NRA and tried, repeatedly, to drive through legislation, only to be blocked by Congress, but he has placed less emphasis on gun control than he has on the War on Terror. At the same time, at least the president keeps on talking about the problem. On Thursday he pointed out "there is now a gun for every man, woman and child in the country," and urged the American people "to think about how they can get our government to change these laws, and to save these lives and let these people grow up".
I have, in the past, thought Obama's admission of his own impotence on gun control was disempowering; if the president lacked the vision and capacity to take on the NRA, what hope was there for anyone else? But, on reflection, I can see where he's coming from. The only way the gun lobby can be defeated – and more mass shootings prevented – is through the willpower of ordinary citizens. Like an alcoholic or drug addict, the US cannot be weaned off or cajoled out of its firearms habit. Trying to force it into recovery only reinforces its self-destructive impulses. All Obama can do now is remind people of the damage guns are doing. And hope that some time soon the country will be ready to cure itself. «

PETA Vegetarians Make "Run For The Border"--Update: Video Added
**Update--video from the Denver Post:
Missed this scene earlier today--free "Tofurkeys" distributed in Larimer Square in Downtown Denver:
Holding signs that read, "Don't Gobble Us--Go Vegetarian," two PETA members wearing turkey costumes will hand out free soy-based Tofurky roasts (generously donated by Turtle Island Foods) in Denver on Thursday. The action is part of the weary birds' multicity "Turkey Drive": To avoid ending up as someone's Thanksgiving dinner, the two feathered fugitives are heading for the border in the back of a chauffeured red convertible with a sign reading, "Mexico or Bust!" Their goal? To persuade as many people as possible to give birds a break this holiday by choosing a vegetarian meal.Mmmm--can't wait for my mother's
Most of the 300 million turkeys who are killed in the U.S. every year--an astounding 40 million at Thanksgiving alone--endure debeaking and declawing without any pain relief. They are crammed by the tens of thousands into dark, stiflingly hot warehouses, where disease, smothering, and heart attacks are common. A recent PETA investigation at a turkey farm in West Virginia revealed that workers routinely kicked and punched animals and bludgeoned birds with metal pipes, pieces of wood, and other weapons. Workers were also caught intentionally breaking turkeys' necks and other bones and stomping on their heads.
"This Thanksgiving, we can all give turkeys something to be thankful for--by serving up delicious, healthy, and humane meatless feasts," says PETA President Ingrid E. Newkirk. "Holidays should be about a celebration of life, not a tortured dead bird in the middle of the table."
Each year, the same PETA stunts, with the same results: Americans love to eat turkey, especially on Thanksgiving. Tofurkey just doesn't cut it.
Sidenote--isn't the "run for the border" theme insensitive to the
On a (somewhat) related note (Thanksgiving, not PETA nonsense)--fellow blogger Ben DeGrow has compiled a thoughtful and extensive list of blessings to be thankful for in the post-election holiday season.

Social Security supporters announced today that over 100 members of Congress are signing a letter to President Obama demanding that the Deficit Commission keep its hands off Social Security. They say that if the deficit commission tries to cut the program they say it will not make it through Congress.
I joined a press call for the announcement with Senator Bernard Sanders (I-VT), Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Congressman Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ), Congressman John Conyers (D-MI), Congressman Dan Maffei (D-NY), Gerald McEntee, International President, American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, Barbara Easterling, President of the Alliance for Retired Americans and Heidi Hartmann, National Council of Women's Organizations.
The letter to President Obama says, (excerpts, read the whole letter here.)
We write today to express our strong support for Social Security and our view that it should be strengthened. We oppose any cuts to Social Security benefits, including raising the retirement age. We also oppose any effort to privatize Social Security, in whole or in part.
[. . .] If any of the Commission's recommendations cut or diminish Social Security in any way, we will stand firmly against them. We urge you to join us in protecting and strengthening Social Security rather than letting it fall victim to a misguided attempt to reduce budget deficits on the backs of working families.
In addition to the letter Senators Sanders and Brown have introduced a resolution in the Senate in opposition to raising the retirement age, risky privatization schemes, or cutting Social Security benefits. This resolution now has 11 co-sponsors. This resolution concludes, (please read the "Whereas" reasons leading to this conclusion)
Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate to reaffirm our commitment to the Social Security program, one of the greatest legislative accomplishments in the history of our Nation, without privatizing Social Security, raising the Normal Retirement Age, or other similar cuts to benefits under title II of the Social Security Act.
Here are some of the statements on the call (from notes):
Sen. Bernie Sanders:
There is strong opposition to cutting, raising, privatizing. Over 100 members have signed on. We are on this call to send a loud and clear message to the deficit commission: Do not cut benefits for vulnerable members of society. If you do we will vote it down.
Social Security is not the cause of those problems and has not added one dime to the deficit or national debt. It has a surplus that will grow to $4 trillion. CBO has estimated that SS is able to pay full benefits until 2039, almost 80% after that.
Cutting SS would be a disaster, 45% of workers 58 and over are employed in jobs that are physically demanding and it would be difficult if not impossible to stay on the job until age 70. Plus keeping those older workers in the job market will make it much harder to younger workers to find jobs.
Sen. Sherrod Brown:
We strongly believe cuts to SS benefits must not be part of any recommendations from the deficit commission. SS should never be privatized and retirement age not raised.
A number of conservative politicians, think tanks and private interests would love to see it privatized. But what happens if stocks drop, where would money come from?
Reporters, members of Congress and others sit at desks, but there are many Americans, from waitresses to hospital technicians to carpenters who are on their feet and whose bodies are on the line every day cannot work until 70.
Rep. Raul Grajalva:
I want to just echo all that has been said. We do have 105 signatures on our letter. No privatization, no reduction, no raising the age.
The commission has let it out of the bag what their attitude is. But SS did not create the deficit, the program is universal, is solvent, and needs to be strengthened not cut.
This letter is a clear statement that if this is the kind of recommendation from commission it will have a difficult time.
Heidi Hartmann, the National Council of Women's Organizations: (Note – earlier I incorrectly attributed the following to Barbara Easterling, President of the Alliance for Retired Americans.)
For women average SS benefits are only $12,000 a year now. SS is the nation's most important children's insurance program, 4 million children receiving benefits. Its overhead is less than 1%. Any problems are easily fixed on the revenue side, not the benefits side.
Cutting Social Security hits women particularly hard.
One interesting question came up, what are the added costs to the government if the retirement age is raised and people with physical jobs have to work until 70? Doesn't this increase medical, disability and other costs? This was not answered but will be looked at.

Dierks Bentley + His Wife Are Expecting Baby No. 3!
It's Twitter official. Dierks Bentley and his wife, Cassidy Black, are expecting another baby.
It's always a scary thought when you begin to be outnumbered by your children, so Dierks took to Twitter to not only announce his excitement to the world, but also to see if he could get some advice from a friend.
Look out Tim McGraw! Dierks and Cassidy already have two daughters: Evelyn, 4, and Jordan, 2. If this next baby turns out to be a girl, he might be sleeping at your house!
We should expect an announcement sometime in the fall!

Dissertation - Students must choose a health related topic identified in discussion with academic staff.
All core and most optional modules are launched during one of two block teaching weeks held each year, usually in September and January. These modules are supported by a wide variety of written material, individual and organisational tasks. Students are required to engage in a number of online seminars in each module. Contributions to them are compulsory and are an attendance requirement.
The course aims to build a learning community, from the initial contact during the induction block teaching week onwards. Assessment is usually by written assignment of 4,000 words per 15 credit module.
This course is taught via distance learning. Compulsory attendance, when there are direct contact hours with staff, is for two block teaching weeks per year when teaching is timetabled for seven hours each day, and when the dissertation is launched.
Following each block week tutors teach via module guides and their integral activities, directed reading, e-seminars or on line action learning sets. Typically this means there is weekly tutor contact via written interventions in the seminars and oral interventions in the sets which are normally for student groups of between six and sixteen students. Personal tutorials and dissertation supervision are either conducted by telephone, or face to face for students studying full time and based in or near Leicester. Contact hours per week depend on the teaching method used, whether students are studying full or part time and which modules they are studying. The majority of the learning is via personal study – typically twenty hours studying and revising in your own time each week for full time students (less for part time students), including substantial guided study using module guides, directed readings, online activities,

Olefin, also known as polypropylene or polyethylene, is a long-chain polymer synthetic fiber. It is created when ethylene and/or propylene gases are polymerized under very specific conditions. The fiber was first manufactured in the late 1950s, and has myriad applications in manufacturing, household products, and clothing. Its use has steadily increased since the 1960s, and it continues to gain in popularity every year as new uses for this easy, durable material are found.
To create olefin, the polymers are melted to a liquid, then run through a machine called a spinneret, which forces the material through small holes to produce a long fiber. This fiber is then used to make the fabric or the end product in which it will be used. Because the material resists dyeing, any dye must be added during the melting process instead of to the final fabric or product. Many companies favor this product because of its easy, inexpensive manufacturing process. Surprisingly, that material is relatively environmentally friendly due to the few byproducts produced when it's made. Olefin is also easily recycled.
There are several benefits of using olefin. It is very tough and hard wearing, colorfast, and stain resistant. The lightweight material — it has the lightest "specific gravity" of any other fabric — dries quickly and wicks sweat and water from the skin. Materials made with the fabric holds their shape extremely well, making it good for packing and active use. It also produces very little static, and weathers well in the sun, as long as special stabilizers are added during manufacturing. Olefin is also highly resistant to deterioration from chemicals and moisture. One of the drawbacks of this material is that, because it has a low melting point, it is flammable and will melt if exposed to high heat.
Olefin is manufactured under several different names, including some very well known ones such as Tyvek® by DuPont®, Thinsulate® by 3M® and Duraguard® by Kimberly-Clark®. The material is used in a range of products, including active wear, clothing, car and furniture upholstery, truck liners, indoor/outdoor carpeting, wallpaper/wallcoverings, bedding construction, and ropes. It is also used in cigarette filters and diapers. In clothing, it is easy to care for, and can be washed normally and line dried or dried on low heat. Due to its sensitivity to heat, clothing made with this material should be kept away from the iron and other sources of extreme heat.
Post 15
I love Olefin. It's indestructible, even when I used bleach on it in a moment of frustration. No damage whatsoever to the carpet. It lasts and lasts.
Post 10
Bottom line: it's toxic. "The same chemical property (presence of double bonds) that makes the olefins useful may also cause them to be toxic in the body." Please look for olefin at the US National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health.
Post 9
Olefin is toxic. I had to throw away my throw carpets I had because they made me cough and fill up with excess mucus. Once I removed the carpets my symptoms disappeared. Then I remembered about six years ago I purchased a new couch made of olefin fibers and I had the same symptoms back then that started immediately after purchasing my new furniture. Once I placed thick cotton slipcovers over my furniture it alleviated my symptoms.
Post 8
Fern W: Microfibers are usually made out of polyester, which is more durable than Olefin. Olefin carpet can be melted by simply pushing a heavy chair over it.
Post 7
I am so allergic to this product. I purchased a carpet made of this and I became sick. I could not determine what was wrong with me. I removed the carpet and I became well.
I will never purchase a product made of this this stuff again.
Post 6
What do i use on olefin to extend its life?
Post 4
Ethylene (ethene) and propylene (propene) are olefins. Polyethylene and polypropylene are Polyolefins.
Post 3
Is the manufacture and installation of olefin yard in the form of carpets harmful to humans in any way? i.e. -- breathing, allergies, out-gasing, toxic by-products, etc. In comparison to natural products, how does it rate regarding these concerns?
Post 2
I'm considering buying a recliner that is made of 100% Olefin. Until I had seen this recliner, I was really in the market for something made with a microfiber.
Currently, I have 5 cats that are not declawed and shred the furniture. Do you think that the Olefin will hold up to the cats as well as microfiber would?
Post 1
Is Olefin harmful to humans when breathed on a daily basis?

Faculty Senate, Council, and Congress
The UM-Dearborn faculty governance structure, established by Campus Bylaws in 1993 (see Sections III, IV, and V, revised 2014), consists of three bodies:
The Faculty Senate is composed of 19 elected faculty representatives with three-year terms, plus ten ex officio members, including the Chancellor, the Provost, the Student Government president, one emeritus-at-large faculty member, two lecturer-at-large representatives, and the campus's four representatives to the University-wide Senate Assembly. The Senate serves as the legislative arm of the Faculty Congress, and it is authorized to make recommendations to the Provost, Chancellor, and Board of Regents. Actions of the Senate have the effect of an action of the Faculty Congress unless they are revoked by Congress. The Senate normally meets once a month from September through June.
The Faculty Senate Council is composed of the Chair and Vice Chair of the Faculty Senate, four elected Senate members, and the Chancellor and Provost. The Council membership must include at least one Senate member from each College. The Council acts as an agent of the Senate and advises the Provost and Chancellor on an interim basis until matters requiring Senate action can be placed before the Senate or Faculty Congress. The Council also serves as a liaison between the Senate and the Provost and Chancellor. The Council normally meets once a month from September through June.
The Faculty Congress is composed of the governing faculty and deans of the colleges, the senior officers of the campus, and the professional librarians and curators. It is authorized to consider any subject pertaining to the interests of the campus and to make recommendations to the Chancellor and the Board of Regents. The Faculty Congress normally meets once a year, usually in March.
