Search engine optimizers know what makes a good link. It looks like this — cheap Viagra — and it links through to your client's page selling Viagra.
But half the job of good SEO is also keeping on top of what the search engines look for when deciding what's important. The rules are always changing.
How Many Contextual Links Really Look 'Natural'?
There's a slight problem with doubting the importance of quality links with clear anchor text: they work. Without a doubt, the most important element of improving your natural search ranking is to get quality inbound links with anchor text that reflects your target keywords. SEO is still a numbers game at its heart — do enough of the right things and you'll rank number one.
But this is where SEOs need to think about what the search engines see when they manually check what results are being served and decide if the best suppliers are ranking well, or if it's just the biggest spammers.
What Makes a Link Relevant, Important, and Contextual?
There are plenty of examples of links created by SEOs with great anchor text. But if a gas and electricity link near the bottom of an article on cooking is actually "contextual," then I'm the Pope.
The dictionary definition of "contextual," just to labor the point, means "relating to, dependent on, or using context."
Clearly, anchor text doesn't always make a link contextual. We've all seen examples of irrelevant articles with links at the bottom. This is bad practice, bad for the user, and ultimately bad for SEO.
A truly quality contextual link in real life may not even have specific anchor text. What's more important: a PR4 link with "laptops" as anchor text from a blog about cats, or a URL link from a PR4 website about laptops and the best places to buy them from?
You can certainly make the case that links with relevant anchor text are all that matters — that "Google isn't actually as clever as you think" — and the SERPs will back up that view in the vast majority of cases. But staying ahead of the curve is just as important as finding ways to enhance your ranking in the first place. If Google is planning an update to reduce the power of spammers, then this is where they should start.
My Recommendation
Monitor and manage the spread of URL versus keyword-rich links across your client's profile and don't be afraid of getting really high quality links that only use your client's URL.
At a broader level, it's also important to try and build a database of the most important and relevant sites, and even individuals in each sector you target. Try to genuinely engage with them, through direct contact, through affiliate and display deals, and by using other more creative methods (where appropriate) to build strong business relationships online that add value to users and provide SEO value for the engines.

$100,000 Bowlus Road Chief is a Shiny, Green, and Impossibly Gorgeous RV
This isn't a Recycled Hawtness restomod of a 1934 Bowlus Road Chief, kids. This is a brand-spanking new, 1934 Bowlus RV, and I want one. You want one, too – or, at least, you should. Let me give you a bit of the Bowlus' history.
Back in the 1930s, the Hawley Bowlus Road Chief was the lightweight, aerodynamic aluminum trailer that was *cough* airstreamed to be easy to tow behind the ever more popular and ever more powerful automobiles of the era. It looked like the Spirit of St. Louis (if you don't know what that is, stop embarrassing your parents and go look it up) and set a standard for good-looking RVs that persists to this day, nearly 100 years later. It was super-awesome, in other words, and someone decided that it might still be pretty awesome … if only someone would start building them again.
Enter: Canadian tech entrepreneurs John Long and Helena Mitchell. Long and Mitchell believe they can help the RV industry take a step forward by taking a step backwards. They're reviving the 1934 Bowlus Road Chief, with a modern interior take. It's an updated version of the classic American design that they un-ironically refer to as "a revival of an Art Moderne style with 21st century touches."
Each new Bowlus Road Chief features a bespoke monocoque shell made of polished aircraft-grade aluminum over an aluminum frame held together, Spirit of St. Louis-style, by more than 5,000 rivets. They also feature a low-drag enclosed undercarriage, flush-mounted windows complete fitted with durable, brass mesh screens and rounded front ends pulled tight over a compact kitchen featuring a SMEG Italian cooktop and a folding glass top for larger counter space and a sink's spray hose extends far enough to reach outside the caravan (for easy washing). Though there's no conventional oven on-board, but a microwave is standard, as is the 12-volt, marine-grade fridge and a dining table that is detachable for outdoor meals. In the 1930's tradition, the every part of the trailer is streamlined front to back, making for far more fuel-efficient towing on highways than today's plywood/rubber square-block monstrosities.
That said, those monstrosities are significantly cheaper than the Bowlus … but there's a reason Kymcos are cheaper than Indians, you know? The Bowlus Road Chief is built on a to-order only basis, with a base price North of $100,000. Initial deliveries are scheduled to begin sometime after May 1.

Knowledge Smackdown: Wikipedia vs. Citizendium
I have long been a fan of Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Founded by fellow Alabama native Jimmy Wales, the encyclopedia has harnessed a grassroots network of editors from around the world and created the fast-growing knowledge system in human history.
Of course, there are problems with Wikipedia, notably the errors and vandalism which sneak in from anonymous editors and the fact that debates over issues at Wikipedia often resemble old-west shootouts. In addition, there is also no way to verify the accuracy of any Wikipedia article (although this fault also rests with most online knowledge outlets). In short, while one shouldn't use Wikipedia as the totality of your research in any particular area, it remains a good place to start understanding any particular subject.
However, the fact that Wikipedia isn't an authoritative source of knowledge—with authoritative being read as having earned a stamp of approval from well-known experts—hasn't sat well with everyone. One of these people is Larry Sanger, who co-founded Wikipedia with Jimmy Wales. Sanger was originally the editor in chief of Nupedia, an expert-created online encyclopedia owned by Wales. When Nupedia was unable to attract a large number of articles, Sanger proposed creating a wiki to spur the development of articles and the result was Wikipedia. The exact credit each of these men should receive has long been a source of contention but one thing is certain: Sanger left Wikipedia in 2002 with a bad taste in his mouth about a number of the ways Wikipedia was being run, most notably that Wikipedia's setup discouraged academic experts from taking part.
Now Sanger has proposed creating an alternative to Wikipedia, which he calls Citizendium. This encyclopedia will supposedly take many of the things that have worked well with Wikipedia—such as using a neutral point of view in articles and the fact that articles on Wikipedia are created under the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows people to copy and adapt Wikipedia's work without charge. Citizendium's aim is to create an "expert culture and community that encourages subject specialists ('editors') to contribute and 'citizens' (to be called "authors") to respect the expert contributions."(from Wikipedia's article on Citizendium)
To start Citizendium, Sanger will create a fork of Wikipedia by importing the million plus Wikipedia articles into Citizendium. Sanger's organization will then let their experts and authors improve these articles (as said before, the articles are available under the GNU free license).
I'm of two mind in this affair. Part of me really likes the fact that these two organizations will fight it out, so to speak, toward creating the ultimate database of human knowledge. Because both organizations will be using the GNU free license, their work will be available to any human being on the planet without charge. In addition, the competition might cause Wikipedia's community of editors to finally address the long-standing problems of anonymous editors and reliability of articles. It is also probable that articles will be traded back and forth between the two projects, with the best articles rising to the top of both encyclopedias like fine cream.
That said, I am troubled by some aspects of Sanger's Citizendium. Aside from its pretentious title (which participants are already saying must be changed), this feels in some ways like an attempt by old-guard academics to retake control of humanity's knowledge. Clay Shirky states this in Larry Sanger, Citizendium, and the Problem of Expertise, where he notes that Sanger main beef all along with Wikipedia is that it doesn't give enough deference to academic experts.
I have no problem believing in the worth of experts. The problem, though, lies in deciding what makes one an expert. I wonder if Citizendium won't implode from the weight of trying to decide who is an expert. Is a person with a Ph.D. more of an expert than a person in the same field with more knowledge and life experience? Is a tenured professor in her twenties more of an expert than an adjunct professor who has been teaching for fifty years but never attained tenure for personal reasons? I know many people who lack the academic credentials in their respected fields but know far more than their academic peers with Ph.Ds and such.
There is also the fact that, as Clay Shirky says, experts don't exist outside of institutions. It is difficult to be an expert without a university or other official institution to stand behind you. By this reasoning, I imagine that Citizendium will gravitate toward deeming people associated with universities and other institutions of higher education as experts.
I hope they don't take such a simplistic approach at defining the worth of a contributor's knowledge. Wikipedia's strength is that it has been created outside of institutions in an online world where the weight of knowledge and reliability of sources decides what's correct, not the pedigree behind one's name. In short, Wikipedia is in many ways a marketplace of ideas and knowledge, were market forces work to create the available information. The process is rarely pretty and doesn't get everything right. But as Wikipedia's explosive growth and accuracy attest (notice that almost all the links here are to Wikipedia articles), this marketplace of ideas can be a powerful force. If Citizendium is restricted to institutional experts, it will lose it connection to the most powerful force available for the compilation of knowledge.
Still, I am optimistic about all of this. Competition is a powerful force and perhaps Citizendium will improve on Wikipedia. Or, perhaps, Citizendium will force Wikipedia to improve its own processes. Or vice verse.
But no matter what happens, I am certain of one thing: The winner will be all of humanity.

Video Game Review: Resident Evil 5: Monsters Still Roam
There is far more available that goes bump in the evening than what's under your bed or in your wardrobe. Nowhere else would be that more obvious than in Resident Evil 5, the most recent adaptation of the popular horror wellbeing game dealership, Resident Evil. You can easily often determine a games increase in the ranks when it jumps from a medium to the other. They produced a movie or two (or three) about this didn't they with big performers? Inspite of the movie kudos, players still rather stick with whatever they understand and create their particular fate with the movie game series.Resident Evil 5 has been circulated for the Xbox 360 but also possess a later release date in 2009 for the Playstation 3.
Here's a little rear tale for people who don't know. As possible guess something sinister possess happened to get this whole basketball of wax off and rolling. Within the initial Resident Evil, the story comes together in Raccoon City involving the unethical experiments of a company called the Umbrella Corporation. The business created a natural called the T-virus. Just like all gruesome horror reports, the experiments fail and infect every living species in and around Raccoon City.
The initial group sent into investigate blood-thirsty zombies and mutated animals is known at PERFORMERS, Special Tactics and Save Service, Bravo crew. As possible imagine, they get felled by zombies so the Alpha crew is sent to save them. And, the tale goes through several Resident Evil games until you arrive at the newest release. Each game develops regarding the primary storyline and most took spot within days of the other versions. Initiating with Resident Evil 4, the venue for doing fight is not a longer Raccoon City. In Resident Evil 5 characters are whisked away to Africa to when more tidy up after the Umbrella Corporation.
The Xbox 360 provides the high description feature for improved 3D illustrations and truth of portray. Gamers have had the capacity to play as one or more characters within the past. Once the final boss fight was played another player was unlocked and portray started again as another character. This game features over-the-shoulder play as Chris Redfield with the help of his teammate Sheva Alomar.
Fresh to the Resident Evil 5 game is an option to control one or both players which had been never the case before. Success within the mission depends on both players working together. Additionally, the game can feel played wearing a multiplayer part on and offline for additional excitement. When playing online with another, the screen splits to see the game from all the perspective of both.
Fans of the initial Resident Evil will be head-over-heels for this one with the new features given by the Xbox 360 and continuing tale in getting with the remainder of the video game franchise. The game is rated M for mature because of many bloodstream and gore and intense brutality.

We're all well versed on the benefits of eating free range eggs and how they compare to commercial eggs from the supermarket, so I'll spare you the soapbox routine and just say that everyone should find a local supplier and make the switch. There's an amazing difference in size, color and taste, and they're just so pretty I find myself taking the camera out whenever I hard boil a batch for Ben. So pretty, and I love the difference in color when they're wet and then dry. Who knew eggs were so fascinating?

Shirley's girlies
Ever since my Verizon days (also known as "hell days", or "the most hellish ten years of my life"), I've had the honor of buying free range eggs from my friend and coworker, Shirley. Shirley somehow manages to operate a small farm in the area in her free time and she has quite the family of chickens and ducks running around. In the warmer months, her girls lay anywhere from a dozen to several dozen a day, leaving Shirley with way more eggs than she can handle. She brings them into the office and sells them to anyone who might be interested. I'm lucky enough to have them delivered to the shop as often as I can, and I'm incredibly grateful.

|I decorated our apartment
(complete with a bamboo christmas tree
and philippines style snowflakes)
So. This week. I got lice. Welcome to the life of a missionary that's around kids all the time. I think I've actually gotten it a couple times, but I've been too lazy to really do anything about it BUT last week I was brushing my hair and a couple of big mommy lice fell on my shirt and that was it. So I've got some handy dandy lice shampoo and a giant ole comb. In the States, I would have died. Here, I took a couple pictures and went to bed because it was late.
|A Member Family and Two of Our Investigators
The closer it gets to the end of the year, the happier I realize I am. When you asked me mom if I had thought about where I would be if I wasn't on a mission, I ended up thinking about that for a long time. Woah. Not on a mission? How does that feel? Have I forgotten what real life is like? Do I really want to come home and go back to everything in America after this is all over? Okay that's a joke. Kind of. It's so great to see how much I have changed. It makes me realize why all the RM's come home and the only thing they can talk about it their mission. This thing I'm doing has changed my life. Even 6 months into it, I don't know if I'm the same person at all. But the person I am now is definitely a much better version. I am so happy. I'm happy every time I cross the river to go to our less active families, happy every day we leave our house to work (and usually happy when we come home at night). It makes me smile every time I hear this foreign language coming out of my mouth that people actually understand. I'm even happy when I have lice:). Missions are a hard and happy thing to do.
|I Love this Picture!
Well, THIS WEEK IS ALICE"S BIRTHDAY! I am so so so sad I'm missing that AND your baptism. We'll be celebrating for you here and eating some good food. And for the annual dinner table tradition, THIS IS WHY I LOVE ALICE. I love Alice because she is my sister. I love you because I always get a hug from you when I come home. I love you because of all the notes you send me and the pictures you draw, especially the ones while I was in college. I love when you let me pick out your clothes and do your hair and then come shopping with me. I love Alice because she is a peacemaker and always wants other people to be happy too. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY FAVORITE ALICE EVERRRRRR!!!!!!!
Funny story: Okay, so more so embarrassing funny than anything. And that would be the video of me from President Querido that you all got to see. So the background for that video. We were at follow-up training for leaders and their trainee's and after our meeting, President came up to me, stuck his iphone thisclose to my face and told me starting now, I had 15 seconds to talk to my mom. ahhhhhhhh. Rushed time combined with the awkward missionary status I have achieved make for a great, embarrassing video that you all got to enjoy on facebook. Also, I couldn't remember how to say anything in English. So I half apologize for all the um's, awkward smiling, and sad little message to you. So, enjoy that video, laugh all you want, and hopefully it's better on Christmas!

Wacky Wednesday
We had a morning with Hisami and Liezel mostly because Shelley had to go and visit a school in Jiyugaoka. On our activity tables, we worked on our "Shimekazari" and our "hagoita". For our hagoita, we squeezed newspaper into small balls and then put the picture that we chose from the computer, over it, and glued it onto our hagoita. We glued it onto the side that was plain. The other side has the beautiful patterned origami on it. We will put ribbon on the handles tomorrow and then they will be complete. Our "Shimekazari" are taking a little longer because we have many parts to make that when put together, become our "Shimekazari". We will continue working on them until we are all finished. Liezel sat with us and we changed the calendar with her. We sang "There are seven days in a week" and then worked out, with the help of some of our friends that today is Wednesday. We read "Wacky Wednesday" and turned out to be a real "Wacky Wednesday". We will tell you later. We changed the weather to sunny but instead of going to play in the park; we went upstairs to the discovery deck and played there. It was a lot of fun without the logistics that go with changing shoes, putting on jackets, smocks, beanies, gloves etc,
when we go to the park.
We cooked some food in the kitchen area using the white and black stones. We pretended to water some flowers with the jugs and other containers. It was lovely because the sun peeped through the diamond shapes of the lattice so we could feel some warmth. We also spent some time on the third floor playing with toys and having story time. Now we will go back to "Wacky Wednesday"! In the book that we read, we found two things that we thought were "wacky"; the shoes were walking by themselves, and one girl didn't have a neck. We looked really carefully to see what things were a bit "wacky"; and the reason why it really was a "Wacky Wednesday" at Ohana was because the toilet downstairs flooded. There were workmen at school the entire day and they only left the school in the night and the toilet is still not fixed. Luckily most of our friends in Buds Class are in diapers; but it was so noisy during nap time, they came to our class for nap time…….so it was like Petals Class had a sleepover with Buds Class today. Everyone had a good sleep and some of our smaller friends who were a little distressed, were soothed to sleep which made it a quiet restful time for the rest of us. So this is what made the day really "wacky". We didn't feel the "wackiness" as much as our teachers.
We sang the obento song in Japanese. We made a big box and put some plastic food in it…..onigiri, ninjin (carrot), sakurambo (cherries), shitake (mushroom), gobou (burdock), and renkon (lotus root). We did actions with the song. There were 13 children in Petals Class today so we practiced writing the numbers one and three in the air. One is quite easy because it is just a vertical line. It was a great day and one where we all had to learn to embrace change and manage some new things that were happening today.
Love always the children in Petals Class.

Real Estate CyberSpace Society
Nine Hawthorne Place, Suite 16L
Boston, MA 02114
Phone: 617-523-4441
Real Estate CyberSpace Radio (RECR) today released excerpts from their July briefings. In three interviews, Sara Bonert, Jim Kimmons and Jeff Turner present their respective favorite tools and services for productivity. They all emphasize a shared perspective—that by using social media effectively, real estate professionals can generate more business.
In the lead interview, Sara Bonert, director of broker services for Zillow.com, counsels listeners on ways to benefit from the popular Zillow web site. Her tips include answers to give consumers for their questions about Zillow Zestimates® as well as how to be found on Zillow searches and be recognized as a real estate authority. She explains how the new Zillow iPhone application, which layers comprehensive property information over GPS capability, keys into the trend toward mobile marketing. Bonert's specialty is helping real estate professionals market themselves online. She sees the rising trend of social networking as an area with great potential for broadening contacts and developing relationships. She tells agents, "In general, I really feel that any efforts that you put into social media are going to pay off for you.â€� However, she cautions that being successful with social media requires forethought, and she lays out the steps for agents to follow in getting started in the right direction. Bonert also shares her favorite resources for learning about online marketing and technology tools and gives examples of successful real estate blogs.
In the second interview, Jim Kimmons, who serves as the Real Estate Guide at About.com, concentrates on helpful real estate tools and strategies that are available at little or no cost. An active agent himself, Kimmons looks for ways to do his job better, faster, easier and cheaper. His list of recommended tools and services has passed his own tests for being practical and effective. For example, he names two specific cell phone tools that have improved his mobility and recommends several other high-efficiency tools he uses. When asked to identify the most effective lead generator for agents, Kimmons replies without hesitation, "I'm really biased on this one. If it's not already the best, it's going to be!� He refers to business and social networking and blogging. Kimmons explains how he has redesigned his own web site using a blog format to take advantage of the social media trend. He comments on his connections to three of the leading social media sites in particular. Kimmons also offers advice on a pay per click strategy to increase web site traffic and gives tips to improve drip e-mail.
In the wrap-up briefing, Jeff Turner, the web marketing innovator who is president of RealEstateShows.com, sums up the significance of the social media phenomenon for real estate professionals. "The hallmark of social media is the notion that you can transform what previously in the marketing and media environment was a monologue…to a dialogue,� he says. He reviews a definition of "social media� and explains how the concept is a natural tool for agents to convey their knowledge and expertise and to build relationships necessary for real estate success. Turner addresses the risk of spending too much time on social networking and gives some practical tips for using social networking tools. Besides citing the advantages of having a social media strategy, he also outlines the dangers of failing to use social media in today's online world. Turner also reminds listeners of how RealEstateShows.com—in partnership with the Real Estate CyberSpace Society—offers agents an outstanding marketing value.
Real Estate CyberSpace Radio is a public and member service of the Real Estate CyberSpace Society. With membership in 29 countries, the Society provides its 10,000+ members in more than 120 Chapters with tools and services for maximizing their real estate professionalism and effectiveness, plus a networking connection for professionals from all real estate specialties. The Society provides over 120 similar interviews at "Real Estate CyberSpace Radio" and invites the real estate community and the public to visit and listen to a selection of briefings at RECR.

We use PI's as well, as Tom said there are many benefits. However we only use the PI's to markup the regions and assign a small amount of metadata (username, unique id etc), any comments or other information associated with the change are stored outside the document in a database. This way, if the change get's removed, accepted, or rejected, the information surrounding it lives on in an audit record. This has been very important for our customers.

More Is Expected
School starts slowly to become more challenging in the first grade. Work sent home for review and extra practice are tasks worked into the routine of the year. The student receives information at a rapid pace.
Each school district is a tiny bit unlike the other in what first grade skills they work on as well as the pre-entry and exit skills they expect them to have. If you want to help your child advance, reach the right level on the state's prescribed timeline, or work beyond those expectations, review what kids need to know in each subject.
First of the Year
At the start of first grade, they are expected to know all of the words learned in preschool and kindergarten or words from the pre-primer list. First grade-level reading targets the retention of sight words. Homework and class work alike revolve heavily around common words that the student rehearses and recites regularly. Beyond remembering words, they learn to decode words and comprehend text. Text will be short and words small, but basic reading skills (primer words) will definitely be developed toward mastery.
Writing and Spelling
First graders start to work on capitalization and punctuation in the first portion of the school year. Spelling lists consist of short words that practice letter sound.
Counting small units of money is a first-grade skill along with skip counting. This complex subject will build steadily over the next few years. The child learns to count to 100 and above as she learns addition and subtraction. You can read about a first grade and Kindergarten activity using a tiny seed.
Very basic concepts about the world of science, geography, civics, and social studies reach the first grader on field trips, through movies, and in class play. These topics are less likely to be interesting to this age group so it is made fun through the implementation of these strategies, but be assured that they are learning these subject areas, just on their processing level.
End of the Year
Context is a huge part of the young reader's navigation through literature. Story mapping comes to the light in first grade. Reading flow leavens and decoding is a first-line backup tool for words unknown.
Writing and Spelling
Short sentences to comprise stories are all the rave for the little learner and they can draw to pictures to accompany them. Their sentences no longer run together, either, and they make more sense as they writer continues to compose stories. Journal writing is a task they feel comfortable with. Making corrections for misspelled words is a well-practiced skill for first graders by the end of the year. Spelling tests of short lists of sight words are the usual weekly assignment.
Math concepts like telling time by the half hour, learning odd and even numbers, studying place value, and writing larger numbers are what young learners need to know before exiting first grade to move on for success in the second grade. Math facts like facts of five and ten will fill their free time after school. First graders have worked on many basic word problems on addition and subtraction and they know some math rules to help them in the first weeks of second grade.
Momentum builds for social studies and science topics to include physical science in the area of measurements of liquids and solids and chapters devoted to single countries to discuss their contributions to society.
Using Real-World Experiences to Reinforce Class Work
Though it may feel like first-grade students are pushed too fast, they are not. The majority of the first grade skills posted are basic enough that the student with average development can grasp them within an entire school year. If this does not happen, do not worry; they have time to catch up as these skills are worked on repeatedly and built upon until third grade, when advanced concepts are introduced. Engrain what you want them to know when you support what takes place in the classroom with real-world lessons.

I have always loved science and have always loved art!
Beata Science Art
Let me introduce myself
My name is Beata, I am a scientist working on cell division of animal cells. I combine my two passions - science and art - to create unique and unconventional illustrations.
During my research, I realized that these two have a great deal in common and that combining these passions creates a unique way to communicate science. I want to add some creativity to the conventional forms of scientific communication, with the aim to spark interest inside and outside the scientific community.
My drawings are designed illustrate scientific themes with an artistic twist, and I aim to highlight fundamental scientific aspects in an unconventional way. I create my drawings for everyone to enjoy – for scientists to appreciate biological findings in a refreshing way, and for non-scientists to discover the beauty in fundamental biological principles.
Every drawing is an experiment!
I create my artworks by making a detailed pencil drawing on paper with colors added digitally. For my microscopy fashion, I spend many hours in a dark microscope room and capture the most beautiful images I can find, and compile them into aesthetic patterns.

Queens failed to build on last weekend`s league victory at Morton as they slumped to a second consecutive home league defeat of the season as visitors Dumbarton scored a late winner to take all three points. After falling behind early on, Queens rallied and drew level during what was a fairly even 1st half, but they succumbed to Fleming`s late strike which leaves them having taken just 4 points from their opening 4 home league games.

Attempting to be car-free in Washington, D.C.
I would love to leave my gleaming Cadillac nestled in its garage spot all week. An intra-DC commute should be easier than when I lived in Alexandria, now living only steps from the Metro in NW D.C. However, the 100% manual operation of the WMATA subway since June 22, 2009 has made commuting torturous. I used to read WaPo or WSJ (in paper form) in peace, but seats are nowhere to be found now, with the crush from Bethesda and points north coming in. The yanking around of sudden acceleration had lead to my clothes being soiled on multiple occasions on the subway from spills and dirt from other passengers, leading me to change clothes at the office.
Rock Creek Parkway
A friend tipped me off to Rock Creek Parkway, which is shifted unidirectionally at rush hour, in an almost free-for-all high-speed delight. This makes my commute 80% shorter in time, and the Michelin tires are up to the curvy high-speed Parkway demands. I thought I would only use the car socially, but now I see the ROI is much higher in terms of daily saved time. Now, I can come home, freshen up, even have a light snack before going out again to a 7PM event. Thanks National Park Service!
Even though my dream of car-free D.C. during the week was overturned, this is still ecstatically the best move of my life. I have tried a couple locations in Alexandria and Rosslyn commuting into D.C., which also were big time sinks despite being right at the D.C. line. The bridge traffic is just too heavy for quick commutes, even at 10:00AM. I saw my neighbors using taxis and car services every day, maybe I could have gotten a deal too from VA to D.C., but I doubted that would cost less than $25/day with discounts. So I listen to podcasts via car Bluetooth or listen to XM radio and steer the wheel, watching the city skyline go past, ready to hop out to the suburbs after work without worrying about finding my way back in the evening.

Hydro Power Project at Goring Weir
GSAA Overview
The generation of power from the River Thames has the support in principle of many people, but there are many practical aspects which give rise to reservations. The risk of flooding of vulnerable properties, particularly upstream, the noise of operation and the economics of any scheme in a fluctuating world are amongst these. The scheme aims to install three large Archimedes screws at Goring weir.
The 2015 planning application is available on the South Oxfordshire District Council (SODC) planning portal here: P15-S2946-FUL and was approved by the planning committee on 9 March 2016.
A subsequent challenge to this decision by Goring Parish Council has been rejected by the High Court and permission to appeal against this decision was refused on 15th February 2017. For more information, see also Goring Parish Council and https://www.stopgoringhydro.org.uk/
We welcome members' comments on this and on other issues. E-mail them to GSAA Committee or leave your comments below.
Hydro Power Project on the Goring Weir
The Goring and Streatley Sustainability Group (GSSG) has been working to identify, implement and integrate sustainability projects into the community since 2006. They are a community led, volunteer driven, not-for-profit sustainable investment for the benefit of current and future generations of Goring & Streatley. Their headline project has been the development of a Hydro Power Project on the Goring Weir. The scheme aims to extract energy from the flow of the river Thames and convert it into 265 kilowatts (kW) of clean electricity (at peak) by installing three 3.6m Archimedes Screws on the weir. This is equivalent to the average electricity consumption of 300 homes, providing over 1 million kWh per year.
Learn more about the Goring & Streatley Sustainability Group Hydro Power Project.

Rabbi David Walk
There's a famous Yiddish expression 'man plans, God laughs (Mentsch tracht, Gott lacht.)' This week's parsha seems a prime example of that proverb. Everyone seems to have one plan and something else happens. It starts with Ya'akov, who wants to live in tranquility and immediately the friction between the brothers begins. Yosef wants to share the good news of his dreams, and becomes public enemy number one. Ya'akov thinks that he is watching over the matter while the animosities just continue to grow and fester. Reuvain believes that he is going to bring Yosef home safely, only to find that he has been sold into slavery. The brothers believe that they've seen the last of Yosef only to make him more powerful than ever, and allow the fulfillment of his grandiose dreams. Nothing turns out according to the perpetrators design. It's all so humbling, but I don't think we ever learn the lesson.
The story in which our Sages develop this idea is the very complex tale of Yehuda and the development of his dysfunctional family, which, of course, spawns Mashiach. Yehuda's attempts to marry off his sons and grow a dynasty seem disastrous. His eldest, Er, marries Tamar and then dies mysteriously. The second son, Onan, refuses to impregnate her, apparently because the offspring would be called after Er. This is the Torah's first example of yibum or levirate marriage, an attempt to continue a family name and legacy through a brother. Onan also dies, probably as a punishment. Yehuda, now seems afraid to marry her to his youngest son, Shelah, lest he also die. Yehuda's stated plan is to wait for Shelah to grow older and then to mate him to Tamar. Tamar, who really wants to be part of the Yehuda clan, hatches her own plan. By disguising herself as a prostitute, she becomes pregnant through an unsuspecting Yehuda. When Yehuda proceeds to condemn her to death for a complicated form of adultery (she's married to the family.), she reveals the evidence of paternity. At full term she gives birth to Peretz and Zerach. Peretz eventually begets King David and the Messianic lineage.
Before I continue the thread of our tale, allow me a short digression. Peretz and Zerach represent another instance of a first born being supplanted by a younger brother. This type of situation tends to not turn out so well. Esav and his grandson Amalek become
But back to our task. In Midrash Raba (Genesis 85:1) our Sages describe the scene as the events of Yosef's kidnapping unfold. They postulate that Reuvain put on sackcloth and fasted over the fate of his lost brother, whom he had meant to save. The brothers were busy negotiating an acceptable price for their brother turned commodity. However, our Sages believe that God was involved with creating the light from which would emerge the Mashiach. In other words, our actions down here are significant, but in ways we've never imagined. The impressment of Yosef into slavery set the stage for the exodus saga. While the machinations of Yehuda and Tamar were so much more than a family soap opera; they sowed the seeds of our eventual redemption. It's fascinating that the Midrash (Breishit Raba 51:1) mentions a custom I've never observed. It suggests that every Shabbat people should read the story of
What changes a miserable turn of events into a sparkling new dawn? What is needed to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear? A straight forward reading of our Midrash about the fallout from Yosef's sale, seems to teach that things turn out well because God is pulling strings. We're doing our own thing while God is planting the seeds of salvation. I'm not enamored of that approach. Even though I do believe in Hashgachah Pratit or God's direct supervision of certain events, I think that we must look harder for an answer to this paragraph's question. Because this point of view makes us irrelevant. If God brings about the happy ending, what are our efforts worth?
Peretz becomes the progenitor of the Davidic dynasty because he observes and emulates the great courage and responsibility of his father, Yehuda. Ruth evolves into the grand mother of David and Mashiach by great effort to fulfill the principles of her adopted faith. To just say that God did it, denigrates their sacrifices and exertions. Are the blood, sweat and tears of our forebears immaterial to the progress of Jewish destiny?
I don't think so. I believe that God's plan has an infinite number of possible pathways. We have a major influence in which route is taken. And that influence is based upon a combination of action and intention. The Talmud (Horiyot 10b) states a sin done for an admirable purpose can be greater than a mitzvah done for nefarious goals. The great example usually cited for this principle is the deed of Tamar. In other words the most important ingredient of this chulent called Jewish History is good intentions, sprinkled liberally on our actions.
Because we know that often things won't turn out the way we expected, is not a good reason for inaction. We must be active participants in Jewish destiny because it's the right thing to do, not because we know what will happen. We do what our souls deem right, because it's right. God will let the chips fall where they should.

Here are just a few of the girls we hope to reach out with this project. They all attend schools located in slums in Western Uttar Pradesh.
Their life as a rule is tough enough already without having to worry about periods. All of these girls live below the poverty line, and more often than not find themselves having to fit their education in around household chores, looking after younger siblings, even a job in some cases. Very few of them are able to afford sanitary pads, which results in unsafe menstrual hygiene practices that are often exacerbated by the taboos still associated with menstruation in India today.
If you'd like to help any of them, please send us an email with the subject line 'Pads for Girls' and we can begin the process of putting you in touch with each other.
Email: email@example.com
THANK YOU for taking an interest. It's really important that these children know that somebody, somewhere, is looking out for them.
If you would like to do even more, please visit our 'School Fee Sponsorship' page for information on how to contribute directly to a child's education.

Drink-Driving The Morning After: The Penalties
The damaging effects of driving 'the morning after' and how the limits change across the UK,
THINK! has emphasised the penalties people face for driving the morning after a night out while still over the drink-drive limit. These include: a minimum 12 month ban, criminal record, large fine, imprisonment and penalty points on the licence.
However, the safety campaign argues: "This list does not reflect the everyday consequences of being caught". It claims further potential penalties include: the increased cost of insurance, job loss, trouble getting into countries such as the United States of America, the shame of having a record and the loss of independence.
Government's Perspective
Road Safety Minister Andrew Jones said: "Getting behind the wheel after a big night out is a risk that drivers just should not take." During 2013 alone, there were an estimated 740 morning after, drink-drive, collisions. Furthermore, about 5,500 motorists fail a breath test every year between 6am and 12pm.
Mr Jones added: "Not only are they (drink-drivers) putting themselves in danger, they also endanger others and their actions can destroy lives. Wait until you are sober before you think about driving", he proclaimed.
Police's Perspective
The National Police Chiefs' Council lead, Suzette Davenport, added: "The majority of drivers are aware that driving whilst impaired by drink or drugs is not worth the risk - but some do not think about how they will get home or to work the morning after a night out.
She argued: "Thinking ahead about getting home, or to work, safely the following morning is crucial and potentially if you are driving the morning after drinking you may need alternative travel arrangements. Driving under the influence is never worth the risk to yourself, to your future and to those you could injure or kill".
Drink-Drive Limit In England, Wales and Northern Ireland
The England, Wales and Northern Ireland the drink-drive limit is:
- 35 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath;
- 80 milligrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood;
- 107 milligrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of urine.
Drink-Drive Limit In Scotland
In Scotland the drink-drive limit is:
- 22 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath;
- 50 milligrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood;
- 67 milligrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of urine.
Impossible To Tell If Over Limit
THINK! further emphasised that: "It is not possible to say how much alcohol you can drink and stay below the limit." Factors include:
- weight, age, sex and metabolism (rate at which body consumes energy);
- type/amount of alcohol;
- any recently consumed food;
- stress.

Golden State sixth man Iguodala out with sprained ankle
Golden State Warriors sixth man Andre Iguodala will miss at least two weeks with a sprained left ankle, the team said Saturday. Iguodala was injured during the team's victory over Portland on Friday.
An MRI showed no broken bones, and the veteran forward will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
The reigning NBA Finals MVP, Iguodala is averaging 7.3 points and 4.1 rebounds per game, though his value to the team is bigger than numbers.
See Gallery
"It's a really big deal. Andre is so important to everything that we do," coach Steve Kerr told reporters before the Warriors played the Phoenix Suns on Saturday.
"It's not just schematically but in terms of emotion: he settles us down. He's one of our guys who knows what's happening on the floor."
The injury comes as the Warriors, 58-6 entering their contest Saturday, pursue the regular-season record for wins, held by the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls who finished 72-10.

Our life, our experience, our history, about my daughter with a rare chromosome disorder. She is missing a small portion of her 8th chromosome, which is called a deletion. She also has a small part of XP added to that. Her karotype or diagnosis is deletion 8p23.3 with extra xp22.2 to the terminal deletion (a new chromosome test summer 2011 changed her karotype to deletion 8p23.2 with extra xp 22.12, essentially meaning more missing chromo 8 and more added xp). #herrarelife

Albums vs Singles: Who is winning in the music industry?
Up until the invention of the iPod, music was experienced much differently than it is today. For the majority of the late 90's and early 2000's, buying music meant getting a walkman or a Discman. How many of you had a Discman with those big damn headphones with foams that wear off after a while? We had no choice, you just had to carry these devices if you plan to enjoy your music. I remember that D'banj's Entertainer album was a constant jam on my Discman.
Weekly you had to get new discs to listen to good music. People released albums and you had to listen to all the tracks then afterward you fast forward to your interesting songs. Artistes had to do meaningful songs because not too many people would shell out money on a C.D for just two hit singles. There was no choice but to listen to the entire album because most walkmans would only accept one C.D at a time.
The iPods came and changed everything. Early 2000's if you had an iPod you were considered a "big" boy or girl. In so many ways music is easier to access today, most people will download or purchase only the songs they like for free, or pay a flat monthly fee for a streaming app.
For artists now the best way to get noticed is to first penetrate the charts and then worry about the album later. Current hip-hop sensation Davido has had a career graph that follows this exact pattern. With IF and FIA topping charts in 2017, he was an instant hit once again. Sure Davido's fame, social media presence were catalysts; but Davido's last compilation of songs was an EP — Son of Mercy– in 2016.
In the music industry in Nigeria, Davido and many others have cracked the secret code. Assurance which has become a trademark by Davido is on the lips of everyone. Everyone is singing Assurance, a song that was meant for just one person. But Davido knows that love sells, he tried it with Aye and IF. In less than one month Assurance has over 5 million unique views on Youtube. Its safe to say the singles has replaced the albums; a trend that distinctly separates music moguls from upcoming artists.
While there are still artists like Simi (Simisola), Falz (27) and Brymo (OSO) that put effort into ensuring each song on an album serves a purpose, there is an increasing number of musicians only concentrating on making hit singles.
Race to make "hit" songs
The wave of artists releasing singles in the process of gaining cheap popularity for their body of work is on the rise. Any artist with the right producer, right digital marketing strategy can sway people to listen to their singles. It has worked for artists. The only thing that saddens my heart is the level of mediocrity in some of these singles.
While those doing albums get to sit down and do some meaningful work, some artists just think that releasing singles is the answer to relevance in the saturated music industry. Working on singles might have made artist lazy but we can't blame them. The audience psychology has also changed over the years, people want to listen to only good songs and singles just does that.
However, if artists were doing more work on their album, the audience will listen. The artists doing good music have each created a place for themselves in their respective genres despite being obvious standouts.
Albums or singles, which way for you?

A hefty $75 million slice of Ohio's mortgage settlement will go toward demolishing vacant homes in a state hit hard by the housing crisis.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine announced the plan Thursday, shortly after the $26 billion settlement came down nationwide. Ohio will receive an estimated $335 million.
Much of that will contribute to loan modifications and foreclosed borrowers, but DeWine's office will get the remaining $97 million.
DeWine said he will use $75 million to create a grant program for vacant home demolition, which he said drag down the rest of the market and "create a toxic breeding ground for crime." About 100,000 properties need to be demolished, according to what DeWine's office calls a conservative estimate.
About $20 million will fund a grant program for non-profit foreclosure assistance, while the AG's office will hold onto another $2 million to back investigations into foreclosure and debt relief scams.
Ohio saw a 6.9% 90-day-plus delinquency rate on mortgage payments in December, according to CoreLogic (CLGX).
