RODNEY'S back was turned on his old life now, there was no doubt of that. The boy was usually the first after Mary to reach the office. Peale was always late.
I say, Peale," Rodney would say, " you're late again. It's got to stop. Here it is ten o'clock."
" Don't scold, little boss," Peale would answer, as he hung up his coat. " That blamed alarm clockfirst time in my life it didn't go off."
" I'm afraid that's old stuff," Rodney would answer sternly.
One morning Peale looked at the little boss in great surprise.
" Holy Peter Piper, you've shaved off your mustache," he ejaculated.
" Yes," said Rodney, grinning, " I'm just beginning to get on to myself. By George, I certainly used to look like the devil. Do you observe the clothes? " he added, rising and turning round.
"Why, you're getting to be a regular business man. My tuition," said Peale.
" You bet your life. Business is great fun," said Rodney. " I thought it would bore me, but it's immense; it's the best game I ever played. What's the news with you ? "
" Well, I've been on father's trail," answered Peale. " We only just got back from Buffalo this' morning."
" We? " queried Rodney.
"Yes, your father and I," Peale explained. " He went to the Iroquois in Buffalo. I had all the billboards in the neighborhood plastered thick and forty-eight street stands along the streets to the Union Station; from the time the old man got in until he got out, he couldn't look anywhere without seeing 13 Soap. I even found out the number of his room, and had a small balloon floating 13 Soap streamers right outside his window. I took a page in all the Buffalo papersbribed the hat boy to keep putting circulars in his hat every time he checked it and sent him one of our new folders every mail. I came back with him on the train, and when he went into the washroom last night I had the porter say, ` Sorry, sir, we ain't got( no 13 Soap, but you can't hardly keep any on hand it's such grand, grand soap.' "
Another day Rodney allowed that all they had done was great business along the line of their drive at father, but he had a fine new idea, too.
"When you go into a barber shop, where do you look? " he asked Peale.
" At the manicure," said Peale promptly.
" No, no, at the ceiling," Rodney explained. " We'll put signs on all the barbers' ceilings."
" It's been done," said Peale scornfully. " Is that what you call a great new scheme.?
" Well, that wasn't my big idea," Rodney hedged.
" No; well, what is your big idea?" inquired Peale mockingly.
" Plans for our new factory," Rodney answered. " Plans for what? Have you gone dippy? " " Here they are," said Rodney, producing a large blue print. " Pretty real looking, aren't they? "
You don't mean you've actually got some nut to build us a factory? " shouted Peale.
" No, no, they are to impress father; don't you see?"
" Oh – yes ; well that is an idea," admitted Peale.
" If he ever does drop in to make a deal," said Rodney, " I thought we ought to have something to make a front; something that looks like a plant."
Plant is right," averred Peale.
" And by the way, if we can, let it leak out that it's the Ivory Soap people who are backing us with unlimited capital," went on Rodney.
" The Ivory Soap people? " Peale inquired.
" Sure, father's always hated 'em in business," explained Rodney. " His oldest friend, though, is John Clark, one of the big bugs in Ivory Soap. Clark's got a son Ellery that father dislikes be-cause he's such a success in business; — always held him up to me as a model son to pattern by. It would make father wild if he thought that old Clark was going to back us. Ivory Soap's the only bunch he's never been able to lick "
" Then that scheme ought to be good for a great rise out of father. Say, by the way, I put over a corner on him this morning," chattered Peale. " I arranged for a parade of sandwich men up and down in front of his house. When he got to his office there was another bunch there."
" We're bound to land him sooner or later," Rodney agreed; " keeping after him the way we have."
" Just as sure as it pays to advertise," said Peale.
" Isn't it funny, though, that nobody's tried to buy any soap from us yet?" asked Rodney with some anxiety.
This was a very tender point with the soap company. Mary and Rodney worried over it, and Rodney dreamed at night about it.. An occasional small order that might filter in from some remote outlying district, or some small merchant whose credit was doubtful, was gazed upon as parents gaze at their first baby. Peale was the bachelor of the crowd, and seemed not to care whether they were productive or not.
" It takes time to create a demand," he would say; but admitted that the two hundred cakes of pink castile they had bought looked swell in their old rose wrappers. It was a pity they hadn't got a couple of hundred thousand dollars to go after this advertising thing on the level, instead of just for father. Neither he nor Rodney knew how, much money they had left.
" Don't ask me," said Peale. " I'm not a financier. Where's our worthy book-keeper, Miss Grayson? " he added, looking at his watch. " It's nearly eleven."
" I'll bet she was here before either of us; she always is. By George, isn't she a corker?" began Rodney lyrically.
" Oh, she's all right," agreed Peale indifferently.
All right ! Why, the girls you read about don't mean anything compared to Mary," began the ecstatic lover. " She's got Juliet beat a mile. Every time I think of her I want to yell or do some other darn fool thing, and every time I see her I just want to get down and kiss her shoes."
Rodney said all this and could have said much more, but Peale's mind was on other things.
" If we could only land one hard wallop on father after that Buffalo business," he reflected sadly, still on business.
"Didn't you hear what I said?" demanded Rodney indignantly.
" Not a word," said Peale.
" I was talking about Mary."
" I know you were. That's why, I didn't listen," said Peale delicately.
" Speak of the goddess," he added, as Mary just then entered.
She was dressed neatly and appropriately to her new role, distinguishing between the tone of the old Martin offices and this new enterprise into which she had been drawn by such curious processes. To Rodney as always, this morning and every morning, she was a vision of loveliness, a refreshment for tired eyes.
" Ah, you're here," he said joyfully; " now everything's all right; it's a great world."
" Don't be silly," said Mary briskly; " this is a business office."
" By George, Mary," began Rodney again. " Miss Grayson! " corrected Mary.
" By George, Miss Grayson, you do look simply stunning. You're twice as pretty today as you were yesterday, and to-morrow you'll be "
" Hey, hey, change the record, or put on a soft needle," put in Peale good-naturedly. Mary re-warded him with her approval.
"Quite right in business hours only business,"' she said.
" But you certainly are the prettiest thing," persisted Rodney.
" Am I? " said Mary.,
" Well," said Peale, " it looks to me as if you two were going to play another love scene, so I shall attend to a little business. Exit advertising manager up stage," he laughed, going out.
" By George, Mary, it seems a hundred years since yesterday I do love you," Rodney began again, when they were alone.
" Do you really? "
" Why, of course."
" It isn't that you're just in love with love, suggested Mary with a thoughtful look, " and that I've been very blue-eyed and baby-faced? "
" I should say not," protested Rodney. " Why, you're not a bit like that."
Oh! Why do you love me, then?"
"I don't know."
You see? " said Mary accusingly.
"I mean why does anybody love anybody," Rodney expounded. " I can't explain. It's just that you're you, I guess. I can't talk the way they do in books; I wish I could. All I know is that if you left here I'd quit too. I'd just. want to walk around after you all the rest of my life and say, `Are you comfortable, my love? Are you happy?' If there is anything on the wide earth you want let me get it for you, Mary. What a wonderful name that is just like you; simple and honest and beautiful. Mary ! "
" And you really love me like that?" asked Mary.
" No. A million times more."
" Oh, Rodney, Rodney," she said, almost crying. " What's the matter," asked her lover anxiously. " You love me too, don't you? "
" It means a lot to me to see you succeed," sighed Mary.
" But it isn't just the success just the money, is it ? " queried the boy.
Mary paused a while and then answered, " No, I don't think it is."
" Then when will you marry me? " he began eagerly.
" Not in business hours "
" Very well, we'll wait till after six."
"No, you agreed not until you'd made good."
" I know, I know, but it's mighty hard to be engaged and not to be allowed to kiss you. You won't even let me come to see you much. It's all just business. Do you love me? "
" Do you doubt that I do? "
" No, but I'd like to hear you say you do."
" I won't gratify your vanity. We must stick to soap and advertising. Is that understood? "
" I suppose so, for today anyhow," he agreed, then leant over and kissed her suddenly.
" Oh, Rodney," protested the secretary.
" They say stolen kisses are sweetest, but I don't think so," he said, laughing. " They're so darned short. Won't you give me a real one? "
Mary shook her head.
" No now to business."
Rodney sat down again with an air of resignation.
" Well, then if this is a business office, what do you mean by not getting down here till nearly eleven? " he demanded sternly. He did not really think she had been remiss; he was only teasing her, of course. He was the optimistic one, and knew things were all right. Peale had hypnotized him with his advertising magic.
It had been great fun reading the c ads." They had seemed so large and conspicuous and inescapable. You would have thought that every reader of the newspapers, every traveler in the cars or busses in the special section marked out by Peale for old Mr. Martin's benefit, would have ordered 13 Soap straightway next morning, whether they needed more toilet soap or not. Rodney had positively a feeling of self-consciousness as he walked down town in the morning. There was a half formed thought in his head that he might even be pointed at in the streets as the president of the great 13 Soap Company. Now Mary's grave face and her cool ways when he would have made love to her chased all such business reveries into thin air.
" I was here at nine," said Mary.
" I knew it. But where've you been?
" That's what I've got to tell you. I'm sorry it's such bad news."
" It can't be very bad if it comes from you."
" But it is I've been out trying to raise money."
" Why, Mary, are you in trouble ? "
" No, but I am afraid you are."
" If you wanted money why on earth didn't you come to me? " asked Rodney.
" Because you haven't any. This firm's broke." " But we can't be."
" I was surprised too when I balanced the books this morning," said Mary; " but you've: spent a lot these last two days. Here's a statement of assets and liabilities you owe twenty-two thousand, eight hundred and eighteen dollars and nine cents." " Great Scott what are our assets? "
One hundred and thirty-three dollars and thirteen cents."
Rodney shook his head courageously.
" That's quite a showing for a month," he chaffed.
" And Mr. McChesney, the advertising man, was here this morning too. He won't wait any longer for his money," went on Mary.
" But we paid him five thousand dollars not long ago."
And we still owe him nine thousand four hundred," said Mary. " Unless he gets two thousand five hundred of it to-day, he says he will put you out of business."
" You didn't manage to raise any money while you were out, did you? " Rodney asked, pocketing his qualms about the source of Mary's capital.
" Not a cent," said Mary. " And you haven't heard from the Countess since that day she signed the contract? "
" Not a word," said Rodney, and added hope-fully, but maybe we shall soon."
I don't know what we're going to do," said Mary, sighing.
But Rodney was still hopeful and inclined to cheer up.
"The important thing is, I've got you anyhow," he said happily, just as Ambrose Peale came in again.
" Well, well, well, still spooning, eh? " said Peale. " Say, son, I've just learned a lot from that advertising agent down stairs. Great little guy, full of facts and figures. He gets paid fifty thousand dollars a year for writing ads."
Peale was incorrigible, and today his talk, in the face of their actual condition, got on Mary's nerves a little. She interrupted impatiently.
" Never mind him," she said to Rodney, " we're broke."
" Nonsense some mistake in the books,' said Peale.
" Is it? Here's a statement of our liabilities," she said, holding up a paper: " twenty-two thou-sand, eight hundred and eight dollars, and nine cents."
" What's the nine cents for? " Peale wanted to know, reading. " Assets one hundred and thirty-three dollars and thirteen cents. That's a lucky hunchthirteenwell, why not change the headings? Make the liabilities the assets and the assets the liabilities. See, like this," and he scribbled on a pink pad that he carried with him:
" Liabilities, one hundred and thirty-three dollars and thirteen cents; assets twenty-two thousand eight hundred and eighteen dollars and nine cents — merely a matter of book-keeping," he added cheerfully, jabbing the pink paper on a hook.
" You'd make a wonderful expert accountant," said Mary scornfully.
" And McChesney's coming here today for money — cash," Rodney put in, trying to take Peale down.
" He is? Well then we won't do anymore business with him," said that incorrigible.
" No, I guess we won't," repeated Mary sardonically.
" He's got to have twenty-five hundred immediately," continued Rodney.
" He has, eh? said Peale. That's the trouble of dealing with business men. They're so particular about being paid. Now you take actors "
To Mary and Rodney, however, the thing seemed serious. If McChesney did give them any financial publicity it would finish them with Rodney's father. Peale told them not to worry. They would fix father somehow. Nobody could stop good advertising. Why, honest, he used to think he knew something about ads, but after he'd talked to this fellow downstairs for ten minutes he learned more than he ever had dreamed of. And believe him, he was a pretty good dreamer too.
" You really think we ought to go right on spending money advertising? " asked Mary. 1 " Sure. That's all we can do," said Peale. " Why, the Ingersoll people advertised a year before they put the dollar watch on the market just to create a demand. That's our game."
" But it's mighty expensive," Rodney objected. " You said we could last a month on twenty thou-sand dollars."
" I know, I know," said Peale, " but these things always cost a little more than you figure on."
" A little more ! " echoed Mary, flourishing her statement.
" I suppose we might as well owe forty thousand as twenty," said Rodney.
" Certainly, and as a matter of fact we're pikers," said Peale. "We haven't really been spending anything. Why, if we just had the money but don't get me started on advertising. "You know me."
" Go ahead I shouldn't mind hearing some-thing cheerful," said Rodney.
" Cheerful," said Peale. " My boy, advertising's the most cheerful thing I know. It can do anything but keep you from coming into the world and going out of it."
" I'd believe in it more if we were making money," said Mary.
" Patience, dear lady, patience," Peale counseled. " Did you ever hear of the National Cloak and Suit Company?"
" No," said Rodney.
" I have," said Mary.
" You see, she has," said Peale. " Well, the guys that ran that company suddenly thought of a scheme Tailored suits by mail. See, measure yourself." He measured his chest. " Thirty-six, see." He measured his waist. " Forty-eight. That kind of thing. New idea in the business absolutely. Fitting women they had never seen. Everybody laughed at 'em couldn't be done. Why? Never had been. Gee, that's a great argument, isn't it? But they plunged spent all of three hundred dollars right in a bunch. That was ten years ago. Last year they spent three hundred and fifty thousand dollars advertising and sold a million suits to a million women they never saw. What did it? Advertising."
" And you know when Bryan advertised the grape juice high ball," Rodney added quizzically, " its sale went up six hundred and fifty-two gallons a day? "
" Nix, nix, I'm not pulling any of that stuff now," said Peale. " This dope is on the level." " It's hard to believe," sighed Mary.
" And yet it's true," Peale maintained; " but that's nothing. What do you think the Victor Phonograph Company gave up last year for advertising? "
" A hundred thousand dollars," said Mary.
" Two hundred thousand dollars," said Rodney.
" You're warm, you're warm, both of you," said Peale. " One and one half millions. Fifteen hundred thousand dollars, ladies and gentlemen."
" On a phonograph? That's ridiculous," said Mary.
" That couldn't pay," Rodney protested.
" Of course it couldn't," Peale mocked. " Their gross receipts for the year were only sixty-six mil-lion dollars, and each year they spend more money and sell more machines and more records. Why, in nineteen hundred and seven, during the panic, when everybody had cold feet and began to shut down, they appropriated an extra three hundred thousand dollars on publicity, and what happened? No, they didn't increase their sales, but they kept them right where they were, and when lots of other businesses were going broke they continued making money.
" All this is mighty interesting," Rodney admitted.
" I never dreamed people spent that much money advertising," said Mary.
" Neither did I," said Peale; " and say, when you talk about our piking liabilities, do you happen to know what real advertising costs? Ever hear of the Ladies' Home Journal?"
"Sure," said Rodney, smiling.
" Ever read it? "
" I should say not," said Rodney indignantly.
" I read it every month," Mary admitted.
" You see," said Peale triumphantly, " she reads it. The women all do, and they tell the men what they've been reading. Men may not read the Ladies' Home Journal, but they hear about its ads
word of mouth advertising."
" Granted but what's the point? " asked Rodney.
" You read the Saturday Evening Post, don't you ? " demanded Peale.
" Sure. Philadelphia's biggest export," said Rodney.
" Exactly. Well, the Ladies' Home Journal and the Post are run by the same publishers. Journal twice a month and Post once a week. Their receipts from advertising in 1913 were one million dollars a month and do you know what they charge for space? The back page in the Journal costs for one insertion ten thousand dollars, for the Post seven thousand, and as the Post comes out weekly that means twenty-eight thousand a month. Of course, if you want a measly inside page, that's just a trifle of forty-five hundred."
" It's too amazing," came from Mary upon this information, and from Rodney the mystified query:
And they really get those prices? "
" My boy," said Peale, " the back page, in the Journal is taken for the next two years. People are fighting now to get in the 1916 Christmas issue. That's how far ahead they lay out their campaigns, and that's another funny thing about advertising. You'd think once a trademark was established it would last, but not a bit. You've got to keep plugging. Remember Spotless Town? "
" Sure Sapolio, wasn't it? asked Rodney.
" I knew the girl who wrote the ads," said' Mary.
" Well," said Peale, " after a while they quit on it, and then Sapolio's sales went way down; but now I hear they're going to revive Spotless Town this year and try to come back. But it would have been so much better if they'd never gone away."
" You're not stringing me in all this? " put in Rodney skeptically.
" No. I got it all from this guy and he knows. Think what a great trademark we've got; and he says that's seventy per cent. of the battle.. Do you remember Sunny Jim? "
" Certainly I can see his picture now," said Rodney, and Mary remembered him too.
" What did he advertise? " Peale demanded. But neither Rodney nor Mary remembered that, they said.
Exactly," said Peale. " Well, he advertised a breakfast food called Force."
" Oh, yes, of course."
" But you forget that," Peale explained, " and that was why Force canned Sunny Jim. He was the thing that stuck by you the advertising was more important than the goods. You remembered Jim, but you forgot Force. Bad publicity. And that's where we've got the bulge. The 13 Soap it's great it's got imagination Soap a fact 13, unlucky unlucky for what? Why, dirt. Imagination, superstition, humor. Cleanliness, soap all associated in one phrase. Plus buncombe, good old bunk for the pinheads the most expensive soap in the world. And think of the advantage we have that we're selling soap. People know whether automobiles go or not if clothes wear well, or collars crack, or soups taste good, or furniture falls apart, or roofs leak, or phonographs can't talk. There you have to deliver the goods; but soap or dental cream, or tooth powder or cold cream, who really knows anything about 'em? Who can tell anything about 'em? Can you ? I can't. All you have to do is to make 'em smell nice."
Rodney began to take fire again from this enthusiasm.
" By George, it's wonderful, colossal, I never realized it," he began.
" Neither did I," assented Mary.
" Kind of beginning to believe in advertising? " buzzed Peale.
More than ever; but then you convinced me the first time you talked about it," said Rodney.
" Then don't go up in the air, either of you," said the ex-press agent, when I mention that while I was downstairs just now I got that fifty thousand dollars a year chap to promise to write some ads for us. I signed a contract for ten thousand dollars' worth more space."
" Good Heavens ! " cried Mary.
" I didn't know then we were broke," said Peale, assuming the defensive.
Rodney, with Mary's figures fresh in his mind, wondered where the money was coming from, but Peale was equal to that too.
" From father," he said; " when we've created a big enough demand he just can't help coming in with us. That's business."
Mary hoped so, and as for Rodney he was growing more and more enthusiastic, and chimed in:
" I know so. By Jove, if other people can do those things by advertising we can. We'll keep on. We'll manage somehow."
" I like to hear you say that," said Mary, quieting her doubts.
" Now you're talking," said Peale; you're going on spending money on publicity, and that's my idea of real conversation."
Once more the enthusiasm of Ambrose Peale carried the day. Mary pocketed her statement and her qualms as best she could, half believing he was right, as she looked at Rodney's irradiated face.
Of course the question of capital had not even yet been quite solved. Why wait till it was all paid in, objected Peale, who had been too eager to begin to wait for a detail like that. Rodney's one thousand, and the money from the car and aeroplanes, Mary's five thousand and the ten thousand from William Smith had come in and gone out again, by the time Mary's statement was made up. There remained only the Countess and her money to look forward to for the present and the immediate future, and she was expected soon.

Should You Pay Cash for a House?
4 Reasons to Finance your Home
If you had the money to, would you purchase your home in all cash? It sounds great – no debt, no closing costs, and no interest payments. However, buying a home in all cash may not be the best financial choice for you. Here are a few reasons why you may want to consider getting a mortgage for a property:
Home loans may be cheaper than other loans
Compared to different types of investments such as car loans and student loans, interest rates on home loans are relatively low.
It may not be best to invest all of your money in one asset
Many people believe that it is essential to diversify your investments to lower risk. One of the most hallowed rules in finance is diversification. Invest the portion of the money that you would have used to pay all cash for your home into other types of investment accounts.
Real estate is not a liquid asset
When you pay all cash for a property, you are depleting your liquid assets. Why not hold onto some of that cash and get a mortgage? Selling real estate may take months, so you may not get the money back immediately.
Have more cash-on-hand for emergency expenses
Life may throw unexpected turns your way. It's always important to have emergency savings available in case you need cash-on-hand immediately. If you pay all cash for your home, you may be depleting your savings, and reducing the number of your liquid assets.
No matter how much house you can afford, whether it's a $10 Million or $250,000 property, a mortgage may be more beneficial for your long-term financial health. Even if you don't pay for a home in all-cash, you are still investing in a significant life investment.

First Day of Twitter
To start off with, you'll need to sign up to Twitter. You can see people's tweets without an account, by viewing their profile or by searching for a keyword, as it's a very public social media channel. Without an account, though, you won't be able to join in the conversation, and that's the first and main thing to learn about Twitter:
Twitter is a conversation.
Setting up an account on Twitter is the easy part! There's still a few things to think about, though, in terms of the general principles we've looked at earlier in the #STEMDigital launch workshop: how to create an engaging and effective profile using
- your handle (@name), which people will use to identify and direct messages to you
- your avatar or profile picture, which is how people will pick your tweets out of their twitter feed, on a quick glance
- your identifying information, such as your location and personal website or webpage
- your 'bio' or strapline, which will sum up who you are and why people might want to follow you
- the overall look of your twitter profile, which makes it distinct and memorable when people view it
- and additional accounts, which you might want to set up to appeal to different audiences
If you already have a Twitter account, then you could use this post to refine your profile and your overall aims and audience, including if you feel you need a second account for different audiences and purposes. If you don't yet use Twitter, visit the site to set up an account.
- You'll firstly need to enter a real name, email address and password to sign up.
- At the second stage, you need to think of a username, which will be your @name. This might be some version of your real name or, if your name is common and most variations of it have already been taken, you might think of a professional and memorable pseudonym. Don't worry – you can change this later, and you can also add your real name to your profile so that it's identifiably you. Useful at conferences!
- The next steps of signing up on Twitter take you through finding people to follow, but I recommend you skip this step for now – we will look at it in a future post!
- The next thing you should do is start to fill out your profile, so that when people look at it, they will feel more encouraged to follow you.
- Upload a profile picture. When skimming through a twitter feed of all the people they follow, an eye-catching profile picture will help them pick your tweets out. It could be your face, if you have a good, clear shot of your face (useful in identifying you when you meet followers in real life at conferences!). It could also be an abstract image which somehow reflects your @name, as long as it's striking. Don't leave your profile picture as the default Twitter 'egg' – this suggests that you are either very new to Twitter or a spammer! You can also add a 'Header' image which customises your profile page a little more.
- Add your real name, if you wish. This will appear on your profile, so if you use an abstract pseudonym and picture (as I do – I have a common name!), your Twitter account can still be identifiably 'you' – again, useful at conferences!
- Add a location (this could also be an institution). Your followers might be from anywhere in the country or the world, so this gives people a bit more context about which university you are affiliated with.
- Add a URL to a personal website or webpage. You can have only one, so perhaps your university webpage, if you have one, would be most appropriate here. People can then find out more about you than is possible in your Twitter profile.
- Add a 'bio'. You have 160 characters to sum up who you are and what you might be tweeting about, to encourage people and give them a reason to follow you. Again, a blank or minimal bio isn't very inviting, and suggests that you are too new to be interesting, that there is little to be gained from following you, or you are a spam account. A well-thought out bio is an important part of gaining new followers. Have a look at the bios on other tweeters' profiles, and see what you find inviting or off-putting.
- You can connect your Twitter account to post automatically to your Facebook account too, if you have one. Think carefully about the two audiences for Facebook and Twitter- is this something you want to do? Or would you rather keep them separate?
People will often view your profile page when deciding whether to follow you, and you might give out the URL to your profile page e.g. on your email signature or business card if you want to ask someone to follow you, so it is worth making it informative and distinctive.
You can create more Twitter accounts, associated with different email accounts, if you wish. These might be for other facets of your online life, such as personal contacts, for public engagement rather than networking with other researchers, or for representing a research group or event such as a conference. It's best not to mix audiences too much – if you use Twitter for a hobby, then a separate account for professional purposes means that you aren't filling people's Twitter feeds with things that don't interest them or confuse them. It's fine to add a personal touch to your professional tweets though!
Now, to let us know how you're getting on, why not leave a comment on this blogpost with your twitter handle and a link to the URL of your profile? Or if you have any other comments or questions, let us know in the comments!
S0 – you have an account on Twitter now, with an engaging profile which invites others to follow your tweets. That's enough for day one!

Website Promotion Made Easy
Marketing a product or service through the power of the internet is a time consuming nightmare for most people as the amount of reliable information is drowned out by those who seek to take advantage of this scenario. So just what are the steps you need to take to have your website found in the search engines? The answer is actually many different things. And don`t feel it's the pinnacle to be found on page 1 of Google. One of my own sub-domains languishes there, and that's a fine word for it as the traffic produced is close to 300 a month. There are other search engines available so not to be found in Google doesn't mean disaster as ask, msn, alta vista and other worthy search engine traffic is just as highly prized.
Firstly you will need to be organised as there are several different tactics to employ. Start by making a folder and call it something like "website promotion tools". Then create a sub folder within for article writing, (this is by far one of the best methods for getting inbound links which is seen by the S.E.s as a vote for your site more than a reciprocal link, unless its done through a joint venture partnership, a trade off between two site owners which can be done by offering something in return to benefit either site, and perhaps a well written article could itself be indexed on pages of the search engines). Once you have written your article it isn't just article directories you should consider sending them to but e-zines or electronic newsletters. This will not only be archived by the people running the newsletter but if it is reprinted in one of their circulations, it could be seen by over 20,000 plus of their readership which in turn could give your sites viewing a huge boost. Quite a lot of these newsletters are themselves looking for content. A "well" written article is an expression of writing informatively and confidently about a subject that you may know well. If not but you would like to write about the subject online resources are already available to look up any area of interest and with word editors to help with spelling and grammar there is no reason why this route could not be followed, as it will guarantee you some success.
The next folder should be called "ebooks". This is a logical follow on from articles as you will have plenty of content from writing your articles and your knowledge will have grown through research. One of the things you would have to do if you were starting from scratch for a book. This gives you the edge then of being one step in front for this project. But how does writing an ebook get you traffic and indeed how can it help your rankings? The first thing to know about an ebook is that it can be written with your sites product or services as the promotion feel throughout. This can then be given away or sold if you feel the information it contains is sought after by enough people. When you have an ebook, it is converted into an exe.file or pdf. This relates to the output term but either way it is an html document. Very much similar to a web page layout but without the tables and forms that appear within the html make up of a website. So when you upload it to your site as a download search engines also spider the html document without the downsides a web page brings as it is just content this can actually give it more "weight" and value to the spiders and could actually rank higher than your site in the searches. Indeed one ebook I noticed this anomaly with was ranked at PR7 with Google. By then giving it away and asking others to do the same or uploading to other ebook giveaway sites you actually have your own mini website being circulated around the internet. This is something that can remain permanent and find that you could be getting traffic for months and years to come.
These two tactics are legit and can not only start your websites life in the big wide world web but will sustain it throughout its life. It is something that has to be done as regular as possible to get the most out of but as someone said after being told he was lucky. His reply was "The harder I work, the luckier I get".

Arabtec aims to build on Linux solution
Arabtec, the UAE construction company whose current projects include the Burj Dubai, the tallest building in the world, migrates its mail servers to Linux.
Arabtec, the UAE construction company whose current projects include the Burj Dubai, the tallest building in the world, has migrated its mail servers to Linux.
The construction company deployed Red Hat Enterprise Linux on the email server in its head office and on the DNS, proxy and firewall servers in the company's remote sites.
Since implementing Red Hat, it has seen a performance gain of 500% and approximately 35% improvement on total cost of ownership.
Arabtec has also subscribed to the Red Hat Network, allowing its IT department to centralise and control patch management internally.
The company's previous email service was hosted and maintained by a third party company, but suffered from poor reliability and high costs.
"Email is the backbone of our business," said Muttia Marwan Al Khayyat, IT manager at Arabtec. "We rely on it for most of all communications and coordination with our clients, partners and staff, therefore we can't afford any downtime."
As a construction company, Arabtec has to send large images and files containing architectural designs, which demand a high bandwidth.
Karim Djerboa, business development manager for Opennet MEA, which deployed the solution with its local partner eComputers, said: "When we first visited Arabtec they had a scattered infrastructure of IT. They had a mail server based overseas which cost a lot, was slow and not reliable.
"Now Arabtec has total ownership and total control of their mail server which is crucial for any company."
Arabtec is currently looking at the possibility of migrating all of its file servers, backup systems and desktops to Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Teething in children describes the period when deciduous teeth cut through the gum pads to appear in the oral cavity. Myths and controversies have been associated with this process. The main aim of this study is to find out the knowledge, attitude and intending practice on teething problems among clinical students in BHUTH, Jos. The sampling method was consecutive sampling of all the students until sample size was obtained. A total of 164 questionnaires were distributed and 164 were duly filled and returned. One hundred and sixty-four students were enrolled into the study. There were 103 (62.80%) females and 61 (37.20%) males with M:F ratio of 1:1.67. The knowledge about teeth eruption among the students was good in the definition of teething with 111 (76.7%) getting the correct answer. The knowledge on the total number of milk teeth was the worst with only 24 (14.6%) getting the correct answer. One hundred and thirty- five (82.3) agreed that teething causes irritability and lack of sleep in infants, 113 (69.0%) agreed that teething is also associated with drooling. Only 15 (9.2%) agreed that symptoms seen during tooth eruption are coincidental. The highest source of information about teething was from teachings (34.2%), with the least being from grandparents (2.7%). Of the 849 multiple responses on the symptoms of teething gotten from sources apart from teaching or lectures; 124 (14.6%) associated excessive crying with teething, closely followed by diarrhea with 117 (13.8%); while 7 (0.8%) of the responses associated convulsion with teething. Excessive crying was the highest symptom that the students, 127 (25.3%) of the 222 multiple responses, believed to be associated with teething. Vomiting was the lowest with 44 (8.8%). The attitude of the students towards having lectures/teachings/presentations on teething was good with 161 (98.2%) of the students agreeing to the need of teaching on teething. The intending practice on teething by the students was good with 108 (50.0%) of the 216 multiple responses saying they will send the children with symptoms of teething to see a paediatrician. One hundred (61.0%) will not give pacifiers to children with symptoms of teething, while 64 (39.0%) will give pacifiers to children with symptoms of teething. There are still a lot of controversies about the symptoms associated with teething, therefore the need to educate medical students about teething, so they can help in giving out the correct information about teething.

Growing Up In Gloucester
With artefacts, textual records, and oral narratives, archaeologists and anthropologists can illuminate the history of places, social relations, and culture.
Growing Up In Gloucester
Biological anthropologists can piece together a story of life for the inhabitants of an area, and witness the changes that occurred throughout time. Here, bones discovered in Gloucester from the Roman age through to Victorian times tell these peoples' stories. Anthropologists can discover the way people lived, what they ate, the struggles they endured, the jobs they did, and finally how they died.
Roman Period 43-410 AD
In Roman Britain towns were set up around the military settlements. Gloucester became an important roman settlement, called Glevum.
Roman // Mandible
This person was found in the mass grave and most likely died from the Antonine plague. Due to the remains becoming mingled in the grave only the lower jaw is present and it is therefore not possible to say whether they were male or female.
This is a rare example of a cyst that has grown to such a large size! A cyst is a sac that may be filled with air, fluid or other material. A cyst can form in any part of the body, including bones, organs and soft tissues.
Roman medicine would not have known how to treat this cyst however they might have used dental forceps to remove the tooth and free the 'tooth worm'. A lot of Roman dentistry was focused on the presence of 'tooth worms' that caused pain and discomfort to the teeth.
The Middle Ages 600 AD – 1485 AD
After the collapse of the Roman Empire, Britain developed into kingdoms that competed for power.
Medieval // Left Tibia
If you look at the x-ray you can see lines around the bottom of the bone. These lines are known as Harris lines and are the result of growth stopping and then restarting during childhood.
This person has suffered numerous circumstances that have caused growth to stop. The Harris lines formed when this individual was aged nine to twelve and this potentially could be the result of moving out to start an apprenticeship and eating less nutritious food.
A lot of the medieval adults from Gloucester have Harris lines forming around this age and so it seems that early adolescence was a difficult time for medieval children.
The Modern Age 1730 – now
Industrialisation caused society to change and become more urban. The aristocracy dominated the working classes until the working classes revolted.
Victorian // Cranium
This young man has orbits that have small holes on the inside rather than smooth bone. The spongy tissue within the bones of his skull swelled and the smooth compact bone disappeared.
During childhood this mostly happens in the orbits and we call it cribra orbitalia. It is seen as a sign of chronic or frequent malnutrition, and aneamia. The orbits slowly heal when the individual grows but but if they still suffer malnutrition it becomes more widespread and is mostly visible on the skull. It is then called porotic hyperostosis.
He must have known periods of malnutrition during childhood but he survived and his orbits show signs of healing. Look carefully in his eye sockets to see the spongy bone.

Life amidst a protracted crisis: Lake Chad
Sara Creta, Field Communications Manager for MSF in Chad, is on her way to Baga Sola and Bol, where MSF teams are providing medical care to displaced people and the resident population affected by the consequences of Boko Haram violence. Follow her daily picture diary to discover how people live in this region on the lake's shore and what they have been through.
Violence by Boko Haram in the Lake Chad region continues. Coupled with the Chadian Government's response, thousands in the region have had to flee their homes. MSF teams are based in Baga Sola, Bol, Liwa and Kiskawa from where they run several mobile clinics providing basic healthcare and mental health support to the displaced and local population. The most common medical conditions seen in MSF clinics are linked to the difficult living conditions and the lack of access to clean water. MSF is also supporting the health centre in Tchoukoutalia. Teams are also working in the Dar Es Salam camp providing mental healthcare to refugees who have fled violence in Nigeria.

In a corporate setting, during a coffee break, it happens quite often that the discussion leads to the topic of professional certification vs work experience. On one side of the debate, there are people who strongly believe that a certification adds value to the career and enhances knowledge incomparably. Then there are people who are convinced that nothing matters more than experience on the job. Nobody ever wins the debate and the discussion dies with the end of the break.Many young professionals need guidance to make such a decision to pursue the certification course or to take a job at a lower level and learn through experience over the years. Any technology or process can be learned via mentorship and activities on-the-job. However, there are certain career paths that are defined by professional certification in a much clearer way. For example, Project Management Program is a professional certification program and it has an unparalleled value in the corporate world. Certification course provides specialization and professional focus, unlike a typical training course.Let's look at an example to understand the emphasis of professional certification. When you are sick, would you rather go to a neighborhood pharmacist who has been advising and selling medicines to people for common cold and headache or would you visit an MBBS doctor who has studied medicine and diseases? Who would you prefer to diagnose your problem?Similarly, when a company gets a huge project of value and wishes to deliver the best product in time and budget to its clients, it looks for a specialist to work on the project. Hiring a project manager who has the credential of a PMP certification definitely, weighs more than hiring a non-certified professional.Few of the key differentiators that define Professional Certification Program in comparison to Non-Certified Training are as follows:

Smugglers using drones to transport contraband into prisons is nothing new, and the UK has seen several instances of this over the years.
Recently, a drone failed to deliver narcotics to Walton prison via drone, because the pilot bumped the device into a tree by accident.
Early on a Sunday morning, Walton prison staff found the drone and the attached packaged in a tree. The drone was found on Hornby Road, a very short distance away from the prison.
The staff called the police, and the police retrieved and dealt with both the drone and the narcotics quickly.
The staff claim to have seen a man trying to retrieve the drone from the tree before running away, towards a farm close by.
Steve Rice, the force's chief inspector, said that the Meyerside Police was dedicated to finding ways to stop the use of drones in illegal activities, by using "cutting-edge technology and information from our communities."
Rice made an appeal to the community, asking anyone who knew any information about this or any other drone smugglers to come forward.
The Meyerside Police will continue to work with HMP Liverpool to protect the people of Meyerside and the inmates of Walton prison safe from illegal drugs flown in via drones.
The case is currently still being investigated.
Walton is one of many prisons in the United Kingdom that is being targeted by a gang of drone smugglers. The criminals use drones to deliver narcotics to order, often dropping packages of drugs worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.
This drone gang is responsible for nearly 50 drops at prisons across the UK.
