Illuminating the Global Challenges Facing the Industry
Digital advertising leaders from around the world attend the IAB Annual Leadership Meeting. Each year, as part of the program, Tuesday morning opens up with a special breakfast to cultivate international cooperation in addressing the global challenges facing the industry.
David Doty, EVP, CMO, and Head of International, IAB, opened the breakfast by welcoming over 20 representatives from 15 countries in attendance including the two newest IAB leaders—Chen Yong from the Interactive Internet Advertising Committee of China (IIACC) and IAB China and Jarred Cinman from IAB South Africa. These two new IABs now bring the IAB representation around the world to 43 countries. Doty emphasized IAB is stronger than ever before in working across borders in ways that it has never been able to do without the infrastructure of the IAB Global Network.
Alexandra Salomon, Senior Director International, IAB, then spoke of the importance of collaborating together and laid the groundwork for the two topics of conversation to be addressed during the breakfast—finding ways to collaborate to deliver insights on the growth of global around the world and fixing the digital supply chain.
Russ Sapienza, Partner, PwC, and Mike Altschul, Manager, PwC, then delivered PwC's perspective of global growth of the digital advertising marketplace and the need to create new ways to communicate that growth. PwC predicts 46 markets will have double digit growth by 2017. And that growth goes far beyond the United States and United Kingdom. 14 key markets represent about 85% of total Internet ad revenue and would be critical to a global study. However, accurate data is still not being collected and reported in some of these most important markets including China, Japan, and South Korea. Through the cooperation of IAB leaders around the world, the promise of a true global digital advertising report can be achieved. It's up to the people in the room to make it happen.
The room then engaged in a frank dialogue on handling trust across the digital supply chain. Just as digital media crosses borders, so does trust and distrust. Each market must ask what they are doing to be part of the solution and how can they work together with the IAB global network to advance this common interest.
Chris Mejia, Senior Director Advertising Technology, IAB, explained that trust in the value chain requires thinking about it in every aspect of your business. Mike Zaneis, EVP Public Policy & General Counsel, IAB, noted that fixing the supply chain is about education and trust. He cited the success of the DAA's Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising. Randall Rothenberg, President & CEO, IAB, echoed these sentiments. He stated the need for an expectation that companies shouldn't be doing business with anyone who compromises the privacy of consumers, the safety of brands, or the integrity of our industry.
Alexandra Salomon closed the meeting by promising to follow up on the next steps in tackling these critical issues for development of the digital advertising industry worldwide. The significant big meeting for the group is the IAB Global Summit to be held in New York on October 1 and 2. In the meantime, it's exciting to see the international family of IABs increase in size, scope and capability.

Excellent software, excellent webinars, and excellent online resources.
Consider using autonomy, competence, relatedness, and relevance as practical classroom strategies to reinforce the intrinsic motivation students need for making the most of their learning.

Innovation in education can look like lots of things, like incorporating new technology or teaching methods, going on field trips, rejecting social norms, partnering with the local community. It can be a floating school in an impoverished region, like the one in Lagos, Nigeria. Or it can be a school that's blind to gender, like Egalia, in Stockholm, Sweden.

"...to diagnose and cure Wi-Fi headaches, we teamed up with The Wirecutter, the product recommendations website. The Wirecutter put dozens of top-rated routers and devices through hundreds of hours of testing to pick out the best router for most people and come up with other recommendations tailored to different living situations and budgets. It also ran new tests for The New York Times to come up with best practices for getting a stronger, faster Wi-Fi signal."
Preparing our students to be college- and career-ready is our priority. We must help students build the skills necessary to unpack informational texts. A key to this is providing engaging texts that are motivating and meaningful. We must remember the task of teaching informational reading skills does not just rest on the shoulders of ELA teachers. ALL educators are teachers of reading.

PowerPoint is a piece of software that is pretty easy to use, but at the same time has many features that can elevate your presentations. One such function is the easy ability to supplement a presentation with voice-over (or other audio). Adding your voice to PowerPoint slides is a simple process to accomplish, and doing so can turn a presentation from a plain set of slides into a self-contained instructional asset that stands alone and can be used by students to self-teach. This can be a great way to test the waters with flipped content delivery.

Back-to-School Night is the one evening each year when I have the opportunity to connect face-to-face with my students' parents. Unfortunately, not all parents can attend Back-to-School Night. Some of my parents work at night or they are at home with their other children. So, three years ago I began flipping my Back-to-School Night presentation in the hopes of reaching more of my parents.
Faculty at Ferris State University continue to look for ways to help students be successful in an era of insufficient time and information overload. Jackie Hughes, Instructional Technology Coordinator, will share how they have found several ways to leverage Atomic Learning video tutorials to help students succeed and to help faculty maintain balance. In this session, participants will learn how faculty at Ferris State University are helping to reinforce learning, promote independent learning and to encourage continuous learning.
An audio recording doesn't have to go through the full-fledged production process of creating a podcast in order for it to be a valuable activity for students. Creating short, unedited, audio recordings is a good way for students to record and share their reflections on things that they have learned and observed in your classroom. SpeakPipe Audio Recorder and Vocaroo are two services that make it easy to quickly create and share audio recordings. Neither tool requires users to create accounts. Both tools provide options for downloading your recordings. Video tutorials on both tools are embedded below.
It is pioneering for two reasons. First, it is forward looking, drawing on present trends toward the convergence of radio, television, Internet, newspapers, books, digital archives and libraries into one platform – thereby, for the first time, presenting MIL in a holistic manner. Second, it is specifically designed with teachers in mind and for integration into the formal teacher education system, thus launching a catalytic process which should reach and build capacities of millions of young people.

The teacher helps students make personal connections to the class, content, and learning. The power of connective instruction comes from the instructor helping students see the curriculum as critical to their current lives, their future, and their culture.

A good indepth article about an increasingly important area of education.
Jim Barentine's curator insight, October 5, 4:52 PM
The Information Age expands exponentially the amount of info out there for students to "weed through" in their searches for understanding and increased knowledge!
The Common Core English Language Arts Standards for Writing focus on building college and career readiness by having students demonstrate the ability to write in a variety of formats. As educators, we need to facilitate authentic experiences for students to practice and take risks during the writing process.
The majority of the tools mentioned in this post and the four earlier posts in our series, transform the student experience from passive consumers of information to active creators of content, employing multiple English Language Arts standards and skills along the way.
Jim Lerman's insight:
Wonderful selection of tools, very well described.

The variety of strategies used by different schools is important to read. Key to all the uses is the ability for students to control the pace, the timing, and location for their learning.

This video shows just how easy it is to tackle this with PowerPoint 2010. The cool thing is that you have 2 choices – adding voice clips to individual slides (which is really easy), or narrating over sets of slides (which isn't very hard, but it is a little more involved).

There's some good eats goin' on this morning!
Oh pardon me, good morning and TGIF! :mrgreen:
Ok, back to these eats! Breakfast is going to be killer. I'm taking it on the go, and we've got all the important food groups covered.
Hand fruits: check. A crispy, sour-sweet Pink Lady Apple.
Nut butters: check. Nothing finer than a big ol' dallop of almond butter to dip said sour-sweet apple into.
Cookies Carbs: check!
You've heard it approx five times by now, so say it with me – MyBlogSpark sent me some granola to try…
;) Seriously though, included in my gigantic, seemingly bottomles package of Cascadian Farm products that MyBlogSpark sent me to try, was this Dark Chocolate Almond Granola!
Mmkay, it's basically ground up cookies, but I don't even care because this granola is to die for!!! It tastes like crumbled up oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, with big clusters of crunchy oats studded with dark chocolate chips. I had to hide the box because I couldn't keep my hands out of it. :oops: It's that good – but clearly more of a dessert than anything else!
Lunch is pretty amazing as well. A Kashi Chicken Pasta Pomodoro frozen entree and some kiwi!
I was kind of at a loss for what to take for lunch today. It's Friday, so most of the fresh produce I got at the store last weekend is gone, and I didn't have any leftovers since I had…pie…for dinner last night.
I finally remembered I had this guy in the back of my freezer and decided to give it a whirl. I picked it up back when I bought my Kashi Mayan Harvest Bake entree (the BEST!) and was impressed by the nutri stats. 19g of protein?! Thumbs up!
The serving size is pretty fabulous too. I stuck my finger in the shot so you could get a sense of how big it is. I'm pretty pumped about it actually!
Did you know…
Also known as the Chinese gooseberry, the kiwifruit was renamed for export marketing reasons in the 1950s; briefly to melonette, and then by New Zealand exporters to kiwifruit.
Thanks Wikipedia. Hahaha, that reminds me – see if you can guess this quote:
Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject, so you know you are getting the best possible information.
Any guesses??
I kind of wish kiwis were still called melonettes. How cute, right?
It's been pouring all night and morning, which is putting me in a warm latte kind of mood. To Starbucks I go!
Oh I'm making something with goat cheese tonight, but I'm still unsure as to what it's going to be…any recipes/suggestions are welcome. :)
Have a GREAT day!
What are some of your all time favorite movies – the ones you can watch again and again? What's your favorite movie genre?
My favorite movies are action movies, but the ones I could watch over and over are Elf, Little Women and Miss Congeniality (I know…)
Oh, by the way, Avatar was like a souped up, more violent Fern Gully. It was good, but it would have been spectacular in 3D!!!

Retired Maj. Gen. Paul E. Vallely is a former military analyst for Fox News who is notorious for having received talking points from the Donald Rumsfeld-led Pentagon before making media appearances as a supposedly independent analyst. More recently, he has become an unhinged anti-Obama activist wildly proclaiming that he is willing to lead a coup against the U.S. government. Quipped one observer: "Obviously a man willing to lead the military in a sort of coup d'état against a duly elected president cannot be reasoned with, about any matter."

For us and our physicians, patients are at the center of everything we do. Recognizing the unique relationship physicians have with their patients, our approach to partnering with physicians has evolved a lot over the years. We are much more flexible today than ever before and are working even now to form partnerships with physicians based on how they prefer to work.
While we honor the Ochsner model that has been so successful for us, we work with our healthcare colleagues in flexible partnerships – including open medical staffs – that reflect their communities and their work styles. It's all in the service of delivering extraordinary patient care and preparing for healthcare reform.
With the dynamic changes in the industry, the group practice, employed model offers another solution for physicians looking for stability and a partner in facing an uncertain landscape. For independent physicians, our partner hospitals allow for open medical staffs, and more than 1,400 physicians are actively practicing at our facilities across Southeast Louisiana.

It's Not Easy Being Daniel Glass
Coming next week : Donald Sterling – Misunderstood Scumbag or An Acceptable Alternative To James Dolan? But for now, we'll have to settle for a profile of Royals president Daniel Glass, who as the KC Star's Bill Reiter explains, "uses words like œcool and œdude. He™s nervous on a first meeting and wickedly funny on a second. He wears nice clothes that aren™t quite fancy enough to mark him a rich man, and he eats at a Subway that shares space with a gas station even though he lives in a million-dollar mansion."
He sounds a lot like me, really. Except for the parts about being funny on a second meeting and living in a million-dollar mansion. Oh, and the nice clothes. And Subway. Can't fucking stand that place. But other than that, this was like reading about myself.
Dan Glass sits at a conference table and talks about the criticisms that have been leveled at him and his family.
œI always look at it as it™s a lack of talent on their part to take a cheap shot here and there, he said.
Then, after a pause and some thought: œAnother cliche, but you™re never as good as people say you are and you™re never as bad as people say you are, he said. œI hear about it. I used to (hear) it. I (hear) it still to some degree. It™s hard to take it serious.
But the image that™s been painted of him has become so widespread, it makes friends and family bristle. They™ve heard it all before, though they don™t understand where it™s come from.
œHe gets a bad rap sometimes for not knowing anything about baseball or just being the owner™s son " whatever people say " but it™s not true, said his 25-year-old son, Dayne. œThey don™t know him. They think he™s just hiding away. But he™s not. He™s just private; that™s his style.
Dan Glass strolls into a broadcast booth for a photo shoot, trying to smile.
œAh, the price of fame, he quips.
He™ll be heading to spring training soon, and, as the photographer snaps pictures, you can see in Glass™ eyes that he™d rather be anywhere else in the world than here, having his photo taken, another moment that™ll thrust him back under that spotlight.
He leans back toward the open window with the steep drop that looks out over the diamond. His lips purse together. He™s polite but impatient.
œMove your hand back, the photographer says.
Glass smiles. œLike I™m about to jump out of here?
Mets pitching guru Rick Peterson is the subject of David Lennon's Monday entry at Newsday, and The Jacket's taste in cinema leans, typically enough, towards Judy Garland.
"One of the greatest movies of all time is 'The Wizard of Oz.' What a great story," Peterson said. "If you take a look at all the pitchers with untapped potential, I tell them that they are one of those three characters. It's in there, and you don't have to take all the time traveling down the road to get to it."
"I'm a big 'Seinfeld' fan," Peterson said. "I told him that his show actually is very helpful to be a better communicator with these guys. Because when you use the things he talks about, they laugh about it. There's a human element to it, and once you get someone to laugh, you can exhale and see things a different way."
Peterson has yet to break out a puffy shirt as a prop. But getting his pitchers to step outside their own heads for a few moments, and forget the ball and glove, can be a useful tool on the mound.
"He did one last year when I was pitching a side session," John Maine said. "He asked me, 'Do you like ice cream?' I was like, 'Yeah.' Then he said, 'Do you like ketchup?' And I said, 'Um, yeah.' Then he asked me, 'Would you put ketchup on top of the ice cream?' When I said no, he told me, 'Well, that's what you're doing right now.'
Lennon's colleague Bob Herzog reports the Long Island Ducks of the Atlantic League have acquired former Met Edgardo Alfonso. While I'm thrilled to learn Fonzie will be wearing the colors made famous by John Rocker, Pete Rose III and Bill Pulsipher, it does seem like the Jersey City Snakes let a coveted free agent slip thru their fingers yet again.

A photomicrographic study of worker honeybee embryogenesis
Charles P. Milne Jr. John P. Phillips And Peter J. Krell
Developing honeybee (Apis mellifera) eggs taken from worker comb were photographed using phase-contrast microscopy to record embryogenesis through the 10 developmental stages. This photographic record can be used to place any developing embryo accurately in the appropriate stage and, with the exception of stage 4, in the proper division (early, middle, late) of that stage. A reference table summarizing the characteristic features of each stage is presented and can be used to assign embryos to a particular developmental stage. Sixty-three newly laid eggs in a comb required an average of 76.7 ± 2.1 h to hatch in a 35°C incubator, and 23 eggs under oil took an average of 77.6 ± 2.7 h. The difference in times for embryogenesis under the two sets of conditions was not significant, indicating that immersion in paraffin oil does not affect the rate of development. Duration of embryogenesis in this investigation was slightly longer than previously published estimates.

Cincinnati SportsMedicine and Orthopaedic Center has partnered with Cincinnati Christian University and will be the official sports medicine provider for the university.
Cincinnati Christian University was founded in 1924 and is a fully accredited institution offering various sports including soccer, volleyball, basketball, cross country and golf. The school's athletic program is part of the NAIA which is competitive throughout the country.
"Cincinnati Christian University is excited to partner with Cincinnati Sports Medicine for our athletic training," said Ken Tracy, men's basketball coach. "This partnership gives us the opportunity to provide top-notch care to our student-athletes as well as to all CCU students, faculty and staff. The care of our student-athletes is important not only for their ability to compete, but for their overall health, and we wouldn't hand over that responsibility to just any company."
Dr. Matt Busam, who treats patients at Cincinnati SportsMedicine's Western Hills location close to the school, will serve as the team physician.
"Our goal is to provide the best sports medicine and orthopaedic care to the student body and faculty," Busam said. "I look forward to a long partnership with CCU."
Busam also serves as the assistant team physician for the Cincinnati Bengals and head team physician for Elder High School.
Cincinnati SportsMedicine will be providing a certified athletic trainer to CCU throughout the year and covering sporting events to help prevent and manage injuries. The athletic trainer will be available on-site to triage any problems and take the necessary steps for the well-being of the athlete. These services are not only for the student-athletes, but for the entire student body and faculty.
"Cincinnati Christian University is a great institution and we're excited to be partnering with such dedicated faculty and athletes," said Al Ducker, director of Cincinnati SportsMedicine's Outreach Program. "Our team of physicians, physical therapists, and athletic trainers are here to provide the best care for the entire university."
For more information about their services, visit www.CincinnatiSportsMed.com.

UNDP works with national partners to reduce poverty and advocate for human development.
Almost 30 percent of people in the region either live in poverty or are at risk of living in poverty; and increases are expected by approximately five million people for every one percent decline in gross domestic product (GDP) (World Bank, 2009).
Some six million people in Central Asia live in poverty; and it is estimated that the number of people living in poverty in the region increased by an additional one million in 2009 (MDG Report, 2011).
Most countries in the region face rising inequalities, a large setback in social protection, an expanding informal sector, a decrease in male life expectancy, and a massive surge in migration.
The region has experienced the highest increase in socio economic inequality in the world over the last 20 years. One third of people surveyed in the region say that they are excluded - from economic life, social services and participation in society.

Diana has become a favourite choice for the name of Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge's first child.
The name proved the most popular girl's name for the royal baby in a survey conducted by Baby TV.
The survey showed that the British public think William and Kate should name their first child, if it's a girl, after the late Diana, Princess of Wales.
In the poll, Diana proved the most popular choice for the future third-in-line with 27.5 per cent of the the vote.
Coming in a close second, 18 per cent believed Elizabeth would be a fitting tribute as the 1, 500 parents chose her name for the future child. However, voters were less eager to name the child Catherine with the name only getting four per cent of the votes.
Meanwhile, Philip proved the most popular boy's name with 25 per cent of the vote, beating both William and Charles.
Name expert Laura Wattenberg said: "The royal family is the pinnacle of traditional naming, but Will and Kate are still contemporary parents. Their choice may be a balancing act between family and fashion"
"Today, even parents who prefer traditional names also pay attention to style." she added.
Prince William and Kate, who was known as Kate Middleton before her marriage, are busy preparing for the arrival of their first child. The mum-to-be is expected to begin maternity leave around mid-June, a month before the rumoured due date.
The couple have kept the sex of the child a secret, although the Duchess caused a media frenzy earlier this year when she reportedly nearly slipped the word 'daughter'.
The Duchess was speaking to well wishers when she was given a toy, Kate reportedly answered "I'll take that for my d…", before quickly correcting herself and telling the excited crowd she and William do not know the sex yet.
The baby will become third-in-line for the throne after Prince Charles and dad-to-be Prince William.
Most popular girls' names for royal baby:
Diana – 27.52%
Elizabeth – 18.35%
Catherine – 3.67%
Other – 50.46%
Most popular boys' names for royal baby:
Philip – 24.77%
William – 7.34%
Charles – 7.34%
Other – 60.55%
I doubt very much the name will be Diana..not even for a middle name. I posted a long post about this on my FB page:
I think they will choose a name that is very royal, British & yet modern at the same time. I don't think they will choose names that are TOO connected to current members of the royal family…with a few exceptions. I think they will want this child to have her own identity as much as possible. I think they will be mindful of the fact that this name carries with it a lot of weight…as in, one day a crown will rest on it, so they will be mindful of that.
Here's my list of names to ponder. In alpha order. At the END I will give you my FINAL PREDICTIONS & my FINAL "I wish" choice:
ALEXANDRA or ALEXANDRIA: I think this has a very good chance to be a first name. Very royal, regal & modern. All positive historical connotations & I am considering both versions as one in the same.
ANNE/MARY/SARAH/JANE: All very royal but too connected to current royals/Diana's sisters. May factor in as middle names.
CAROLINE: This could be an option. Very lovely name, quite royal & could be seen as a nod to Mama Middleton. I also like the idea of a name that starts with the letter "C" since there are so many royals with names that start with it (Catherine, Charles, Carole & Camilla). A fav of mine personally. Very ladylike & dignified. And it makes me think of Caroline Kennedy, who I think is an extremely amazing woman…and sort of the closest thing we have to an American Princess in many ways.
CHARLOTTE: Originally this was my #1 pick (both as a prediction AND my personal fav) for a first name…until Charles Spencer chose it for his new baby girl. Very royal. Very modern. Lovely name. Also, Pippa's middle name. I don't think it factors in now though.
DIANA: I do NOT think this will factor into the name at all. MAYBE if they have a girl down the road, but not for a first born. I think it is too emotionally charged. I go back & forth on this though. Part of me thinks they MIGHT make it a middle name but I'm just not sure. My gut says no, though.
ELIZABETH: I don't think it will be a first name. Almost 100% certain it will be a middle name.
FRANCES: I've seen a lot of people suggest this. I don't think it will factor in at all.
VICTORIA: Very likely for a middle name. I don't think it will be a first name though, again for the reasons I mentioned above: they'll want the child to have her OWN identity as much as possible.
WILDCARDS. These are names that I don't think are likely BUT they COULD factor in. They are also names that, in some cases, I would LOVE to see them choose but doubt they will. I include them because I think that they are names that have a REMOTE chance though.
ANNABELLE/A: For some reason this name keeps popping into my head. The downside is that it is the name of a nightclub that Diana used to go to. Lol. But I think it's a very pretty name. Not sure that it has any historic royal connections but it feels very British to me.
EMMA/SOPHIA/ISABELLA: All very lovely names. Very modern & popular. Not sure if they will factor in but I think it is not TOO far-fetched.
GEORGINA: This one fascinates me. It was the name of one of Diana's most infamous ancestors. She was the Duchess of Devonshire & like Diana was born at Althrop. She was the "Princess Diana" of her time. VERY interesting woman. If you are not familiar with her, there is a great movie about her called "The Duchess" staring Keira Knightley. The movie was based on a book that was actually written by a college friend of mine. Small world!
MARGARET or MARGUERITE: Perhaps as a middle name. I'm not sure. Nice tribute to Princess Margaret but not sure if they would go that route. Marguerite was the Queen Mum's middle name so that might be a nice way to honor her.
ROSE: As a middle name. It was Princess Margaret's middle name too. It was also my grandmother's name (though I never met her) so I would LOVE to see it factor in. I think it is a very sweet old-fashioned name. For some reason I feel a pull towards it. English Rose…I like that.
All of that being said, they may surprise us all…as they have so many times…by doing things THEIR way & not worrying about what people & even history thinks they should. We could end up with Queen Olive (after Catherine's great-grandmother) for all we know! lol!
FINAL PREDICTION of what I THINK they will name the baby:
ALEXANDRA (Alexandria could be subbed & I still claim victory!) ELIZABETH VICTORIA
This is actually a name I would be happy to see them chose. I love all three names & think they pay tremendous respect to royal history while also providing pretty, modern, sweet names for a little girl…and future Queen!
I could CHOOSE the name (keeping in mind that I am choosing a name that I think COULD happen & not just any old name that I like…if that were the case I'd choose Ella Grace…my fav name for a girl! Queen Lulu would be fun too! Ha!) I would choose: GEORGIANA ELIZABETH ROSE.
I really love the name Georgiana; it is so melodic. I like it also because it is not a very common name & I think it would be a very clever way to honor Diana. I am partial to Rose for some reason…I think it sounds really pretty as a middle name & of course Elizabeth is, I think a given, so I have to include it, even in my fantasy name.
Yea but we don't know what gender the baby is, All we know it could be a boy. I'd like to wait and see before i bet on a name. Nice names… though
Yes, I know we don't know the gender. 😉 This was just my thoughts if it was a girl. 😉
Girl: Georgina Frances Elizabeth Caroline
Boy: George Arthur (Charles, Philip, Michael, Henry) in the mix
If it was a girl i think they should name her Emily Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Diana or Mary Elizabeth Diana Alexandra that's a cute name and i like Mary. They should name the kid if it was a boy Henry Charles Philip William

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
Forum Moderators: martinibuster
After being shy for a while to ask, I started on and said I'll lose nothing to send out emails and see what will happen. Let me tell you that: Getting ONE-way, yes I said one-way, links is EASY. And I'm not talking here about getting them through directories, nor am I talking about necessarily getting them from cheap (aka low ranking, or bad) sites. But I am talking about getting one way relevan links from sites that have good content, are related to your site, and that may even have good ranking too.
How is it done? Easy:
Whenever you find a web site or blog that is related to your site or even has one ore more pages related to your site, send an email asking nicely for a link to your site. That's it!
I can't remember that any of those whom I sent an email to asking for a link (aka one way link) to me have not put a link! Even though I have ads in my pages! (Not having ads, some say, will help you more in link building at the beginning. Sounds logical to me.)
So, here is what the email you send could look like:
While searching Goolge for widgets, I discovered your site. Your site looks interesting. I have a site about widged widgets and would love it if you put a link to my site in your links section/widgets page.
That's about it! You do not have to lie about saying that his/her site was "interesting," for if it was not, maybe you should think again about asking for a link in the first place.
One creative guy at this week's SES show was actually handing out cigarettes to various webmasters outside if they would promise him a backlink when they return home. I wonder how many he'll actually get. ;)
The goal behind my post was not to state something new, but to motivate those who are still shying out of link exchange to take the plunge and do it and not to worry about thinking for a far fetched idea or of giving anything precious in return, most people would just link to you if you simply apprach them in a nice way. At least it worked for me almost all of the time till now. That's all.
May be it's only me, but I'm sick of software-generated standard testimonies on how excited someone was to find my site and how he/she likes it.
On my site I give my Email and invite to contact with specific requests about my widgets and/or reciprocal links requests. Anything else is SPAM, no?
How much of such emails you think are genuine and not mass mailings coupled with Email gathering robots?
And some of this crap even arrive to Email that is listed in my domain's Whois only and nowhere else.
Buy one of my widgets, tell me how you like/don't like it, mention that you are looking for one-way links, and I will give you one ;)
Seriously, point me to broken links on my site, non-loading images, misspellings, whatever helpful, and I will link right away.
That aside, I have been receiving the kind of mail you have given example of. I generally don't take a second look at those, but thats just me. Guess people outside the industry may spend some time in reading those, since you mention you have been fairly successful.
Hi Ken;
I own (business name) business in (city/state). We sell (some VERY related product), our website is blahblah.blah
Could we get a link from your site.
business name
business address
business phone
business email address
If they're site is VERY related, I usually list it. If they want to link back, that's up to them, I don't ask.
Write 300 words on a topic related to your site's theme. Impart some truly useful information that the other guy's site visitors will like. Put a short author bio at the end, with a link to your site. Offer it to a few webmasters of sites you'd love to have a link from. Give it to them with the condition that they leave your link in place when they post it. Everybody wins. If you get a bite from a webmaster of a site you really really want a link from, offer the content on an exclusive basis. You get one-way links from great sites that are on-topic. And savvy webmasters jump all over that because you're offering something that's truly of value to them.
Also, I like the idea of offering articles on an exclusive basis --if you outsource them, you'd probably pay $5-$10 for 1 to 3 links from a "good" site; not a bad deal at all! ;-)
wouldn't webmasters start to worry that they may be hit by some "duplicate content penalty" if they put these articles on their sites?
It's a risk, sure. But then, any content you put out there for public consumption is at risk to be pilfered and used again - even what you post to your own sites.
Here's what I tell my prospective partners on that score...
Assuming it's a site I REALLY want that link from (authority, high PR, highly ranked for main keyword, etc.), I'll offer an article for exclusive use on their site. While they do have to trust me up front, it's easy to check for duplication. All they have to do is copy a full sentence that's likely to be unique to my article and search for it at the big engines within quotation marks. I recommend that people do it once a month or so, and if they see any other site with the same content, simply eliminate my link in the bio section, and/or remove the article from their site.
It's akin to recip link partners who remove links or move them without notifying their partners. You ultimately have control over what is on your site, right?

Party games and tea at Christmas for kids of cops
Posted: February 11, 2013|
I AM one of the youngsters featured in the photograph of the Christmas party for children of Derby Borough Police officers (Bygones, January 10). Some 12 years later, I joined the force.
I am the blonde boy on the front row, first left, and was six at the time.
My brother, Michael, 12, nearly 13, is on the row in front of the Christmas tree, behind and to the left of Mrs Dennis.
Our father was Sergeant Wilf Pickering (later an inspector) of the mounted section and often rode Peter, the police horse featured in recent Bygones stories.
In fact, Peter lived in a field on our poultry farm in Mickleover for a time before being moved to Quarndon.
I particularly remember the parties taking place in the drill room at Full Street police station because, when I was in the force, each shift was paraded there by the duty inspector who would send us to our respective areas and make us aware of any local issues.
Although I attended a number of the Christmas parties, I really only remember the drill room, playing musical chairs and pass the parcel, plus sitting around a table eating our party tea.

Decentralization Initiatives
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:20:26 — 73.7MB)
January has had a few weird winter adventures for me (See Losing Power & Death via Decentralization) and the interview I lined up this month is going to happen next week. But that won't stop the SotE monthly podcast production train! This episode features the bulk of C-Realm #293 – Infinite Rehypothecation – which a number of Friends of the C-Realm indicate has been having iTunes problems and KMO welcomed other podcasts to share in their non-podomatic iTunes enabled feeds. It features an interview with Nicole Foss of The Automatic Earth blog about "the need for re-localization; cash as 'a pile of unmade choices', her strong support for permaculture and for restoring soil fertility". It wraps up with a great animal-based analogy for why we need more decentralization initiatives:
You really don't want to be the first or the only zebra or wildebeest in the water. So once the herds are crossing all at once almost all of them get to the other side. We need to move together on this because if we do then we can create enough decentralization initiatives that most of them will get to the other side of the crocodile infested waters.
The Internet may be the most decentralized initiative humanity has yet created. This episode also includes media that relate to the shortsighted potential US laws SOPA and Protect IP and the recent Internet Blackout to raise awareness / help prevent these pieces of legislation from happening:
- Snippets from Douglas Rushkoff on SotE #0002 – Civilizations Control Panel
- Clay Shirky from Ted.com – Why SOPA is a bad idea
- Forest Gibson – The day the LOLCats died
- Funk Vigilante – Internet Fight Song

"I am delighted that Dr. Tabak will be assuming the directorship of NIDCR," said Dr. Kirschstein. "As NIH focuses on racial and ethnic health disparities, we are fortunate to have someone who has designed and managed a successful training program aimed at recruiting and developing minority investigators. His experience as a senior administrator in a prestigious academic health center as well as his studies on glycoproteins will be invaluable to the Institute and to NIH as we address the scientific opportunities before us."
As NIDCR's seventh director, Dr. Tabak will lead an Institute of more than 400 scientists and administrators on the NIH campus and hundreds of Institute grantees around the world. NIDCR scientists conduct research on the full spectrum of topics related to craniofacial, oral, and dental health and disease. Oral cancer, chronic pain conditions, salivary function and dysfunction, the genetics of craniofacial development, and biomimetics and tissue engineering are among the many issues addressed by NIDCR researchers.
"I am honored to join the NIH team at a time when scientific opportunity has never been greater," said Dr. Tabak. "It will be my privilege to work together with the scientific community, the public, and the outstanding members of NIDCR to improve oral health."
In his current position at the University of Rochester, Dr. Tabak oversees a number of interdisciplinary research groups who are studying the molecular and genetic aspects of craniofacial-oral-dental conditions. His own work focuses on mucin-glycoproteins (mucins), a group of molecules that protect all mucosal surfaces of the body. He has published extensively on the structure, biosynthesis, and function of salivary mucins and the pathogenesis of salivary gland disease and dysfunction. In addition to his research, Dr. Tabak also directs three graduate research training programs at the University and holds professorships in dentistry and biochemistry & biophysics. He has served as primary adviser to numerous graduate students at Rochester, and has won several teaching awards. He is Senior Associate Dean for Research, School of Medicine and Dentistry at Rochester.
Dr. Tabak has been part of the NIH and NIDCR communities since the late 1970s, when he received his first NIDCR grant. In the early 1980s he was an NIDCR Visiting Scientist, working in the former Patient Care and Clinical Investigations Branch with Dr. Bruce Baum. Currently Dr. Tabak is the principal investigator on two Institute training grants and two research grants. He has served as an ad hoc reviewer of the NIDCR intramural research program, as a member of the NIH oral biology and medicine study section, and as co-chair of the planning committee for an NIDCR state-of-the-science workshop on saliva and other fluid-based diagnostics.
Dr. Tabak has been active as an elected officer, committee chairman, and committee member in a number of professional organizations, including the International/American Association for Dental Research, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and the Society for Glycobiology. He has received numerous awards and honors for his work, most recently being named a fellow of the AAAS.
A native of Brooklyn, N.Y., Dr. Tabak received his undergraduate degree from City College of the City University of New York, his D.D.S. from Columbia University, and both a Ph.D. and certificate of proficiency in endodontics from the State University of New York at Buffalo.

Excellent Ride!

Comments about Burton Lux Snowboard - Women's 2013:
I bought this as my first snowboard after renting for many years. This is a very smooth and easy ride, not a lot of wobble and provides lots of flex for easy maneuverability. I probably would have liked a slightly stiffer board, but that's just my personal presence. I did get a petty good scratch on the bottom it's first time down the mountain, but nothing a little wax can't fix. I'm a size 8 boot and I don't have any binding/boot overhang so this was the perfect board width wise. I also bought the Flow Gem bindings. Overall I'm absolutely in love with this board!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

DWTS' Lacey Schwimmer: Sex Talk With Mike Catherwood Just "Fun"
Now that's some chemistry worth talking about!
His foxtrot with pro Lacey Schwimmer failed to put the Dancing With the Stars judges on notice, but "Loveline" DJ Mike Catherwood's TV antics have been noticed by others at the ABC series.
PHOTOS: Meet the season 12 cast!
"A representative said Dancing with the Stars has told Lacey Schwimmer, my partner, [and me], that we need to focus more on dancing and less on raw, pure sexual tension," Catherwood -- known as "DJ Psycho Mike" to Los Angeles-area radio listeners -- tells AccessHollywood.com.
The 32-year-old DJ hasn't been shy about showing his feelings for Schwimmer, 22.
PHOTOS: Stars' wackiest PDA moments
"When I walked into the studio and first met Lacey, I thought to myself, 'Wow, let's add to the embarrassment by making my partner an attractive chick,'" he revealed on the show's March 21 premiere. As for the pair's first round foxtrot performance? "The best part about the routine was grabbing her butt," RadarOnline.com quotes Catherwood as saying, via a source.
Catherwood's partner, however, insists to UsMagazine.com that the pair's antics are all in good fun.
VIDEO: See which other star got "cheeky" on the premiere
"Yes, they approached us and said 'you guys need to tone down the sexual content in what you guys are talking about,'" Schwimmer told Us at Perez Hilton's Blue Ball Birthday Bash Saturday in Hollywood. "Yeah, we are very touchy-feely, yeah, we are comfortable with each other, [but] it's more of a playfulness. It's the stuff that we actually talk about on camera that we need to wrap it up with. It's all in fun."
As Catherwood prepares to dance the jive on Monday's episode, Schwimmer tells Us she works hard to keep him focused during rehearsals.
PHOTOS: Inside DWTS rehearsals
"It's hard to keep him to actually just dancing," Schwimmer says. "He likes to do everything but dancing in rehearsals. All the nasty stuff that boys do but you find hilarious."

Open topic with navigation
If you are setting up a new business and Mamut is your first accounting package you need to enter the Opening Balances. If you are unsure about the amounts or the accounts to post them to, we strongly recommend you consult your Accountant/Auditor. The following points are based on transfer from existing accounting software or manual book-keeping to Mamut, but if you, as a new business, have the same sort of transactions in your Opening Balance, it may be advantageous for you to follow our recommendation.
If you are closing a previous book-keeping system, the closing position (Trial Balance) will be the Opening Balance in Mamut. If you are unsure if you have the final position in your previous system, please consult your Accountant.
Tip! Before
entering the opening balances, you should first register customers and
suppliers in the Contact module.
This will make it easier for you to register outstanding customer payments
and trade creditors.
If you are using the Logistics module, i.e. selling products from a warehouse, you should setup all current products before proceeding to enter balances.
Before you start entering your products, you may want to review the settings for the Product and Purchase modules which you find by going to View - Settings - Company - Settings per Module - Product or Purchase respectively.
Entering Opening Balances
Go to View - Accounting - Journal Entry.
Click New.
Change the Journal
Type to Opening Balances.
Check that you are in the correct accounting year. This is displayed in the centre of the top menu. If you are in the wrong accounting year double click on this number and change it to the correct value.
Check that the date is correct in the date field. If
it is incorrect you simply edit the value.
Note! If you are beginning to use Mamut during the accounting year it is necessary to transfer any balances into Mamut. For example, if you are beginning to use Mamut from 01/02/2009 you must enter the figures dated 31/01/2009 (i.e. the final day of the previous period). We strongly recommend that you start inputting from the first month of a VAT period.
Make sure that you are in the correct period, if you are not click on the drop-down box and change to the correct period.
Start by entering all the balances on the debit side (these are the accounts between the figures 1000 and 1999). You do this by typing the first account number in the N/C column, then entering the debit amount.
After all the debit balances have been correctly entered, you can move on to the credit balances (these are the accounts between 2000 and 2999 in the standard chart of accounts). This is done in the same way as above.
Click on the Update Ledgers button, or press [Ctrl+H].
You have now transferred all of these values to the General Ledger.
Note! It is recommended that you enter all opening balances as one journal, not in multiple journals. If, however, you do decide to enter in multiple journals, it must be noted that each separate journal must balance (i.e. debit = credit). If every single journal does not balance then the resulting general ledger will not balance.
Entering Opening Balances for the Customer and Supplier ledgers
For the Customer Ledger and Supplier Ledger you can enter the amounts you owe or that are owed to you as lump sums or specified per invoice as per your existing system. We recommend the latter as it is then easier to match receipts/payments later. Before you start entering balances, you should set-up all existing suppliers/ customers and enter their details. Enter outstanding Sales Invoices as Debit to the customer account and as Credit to a temporary account such as 9996. Credit notes work the opposite way. It is a good idea to use the original Invoice number and date as a reference for later matching and aging. In the Supplier ledger you enter purchase invoices as Credit on the suppliers account and as Debit on another temporary account such as 9997. Credit notes work the opposite way.
Bank Account Balances:
You need to enter the balance as per the bank statement as well as items that have not cleared as per your bank reconciliation. If you are unsure about this, please contact your Accountant. Normally you would enter the Bank Balance(s) per bank statement when entering the Opening Balance journal. The difference between the Bank Statement figure and your closing balance figure is uncleared items as per your bank reconciliation. You post this difference as a Debit/Credit on your suspense account. Then use Bank Receipt/Payment journals to post the uncleared items and to post the Debits/Credits to the same suspense account to ensure the transactions turn up on your Bank Reconciliation Screen.
Nominal Ledger Opening Balances:
Use an Opening Balance journal and enter the balances Debit and Credit as per your previous system's close out trial balance. (Note: For Bank Account balances see point 8.) Customer Ledger Balance is entered as Debit on the temporary account you used to enter your Customer Ledger Balances. Supplier Ledger Balance is entered as Credit on the temporary account you used to set up your Supplier Ledger Balances.
After you have entered all Opening Balances, we would advise you to run off a Trial Balance as well as an Aged Debtor Listing and Aged Supplier Listing.
Check that the figures and aging match the closing balance of your old system. Also check that the balance on the Temporary/Suspense accounts you have used in this process is null. You must make adjustments as necessary. When you are satisfied that everything entered is correct and matches the close out trial balance from your previous system, you should perform a stock take to update your stock levels on the products you carry in stock. After having updated your stock, we recommend you run off a Stock Value report and compare this figure with the figure in your balance sheet account for stock - they should match. If they do not match, please make adjustments as necessary.
Please remember it is good accounting practice to perform the period-end processing when you have completed your period-end adjustments. This will also ensure that your financial statements will be correct for each period. If you are unsure about the processes for Period-end/Year-end we recommend you seek advice from your accountant or attend the Mamut Academy for training. Please remember that you will not be able to post to a period that has been closed.
Partially closing accounts
The Partially close accounts function in Mamut Business Software is used in the time period following the beginning of a new accounting year and before the previous year has been closed (when the final Opening Balance has been transferred).
By temporarily transferring the Opening Balance you are provided with a better basis for reviewing the company's Balance Sheet items for the new accounting year in this time period. Find out more about this here.

Few people showed up to take part in the vote apparently assuming it was a foregone conclusion. According to reports, however, fifteen Socialists arrived at the last minute to cast their votes and defeat the law. Two members of Sarkozy�s majority government even joined the opposition in protest to an amendment which would have made users who had been banned for up to twelve months to continue paying their internet bills.
The government nevertheless played down the bill's defeat saying an amended version, which will remove this last clause, would be put before parliament in the coming weeks. Unsurprisingly, the RIAA is pushing for a similar implementation in the United States with the collaboration of internet service providers across the nation.

Man accused of having sexually explicit discussion with teen over Internet
A Habersham County pastor has been arrested and charged in connection with having sexually explicit online conversations with a person he believed to be 14-year-old girl.
Robert Leonard Coats, pastor of Mount Bethel Church of God, was arrested Thursday at his office. He is in custody at the Habersham County Detention Center awaiting transfer to Walton County.
Mr. Coats, 51, is charged with nine counts of sexual exploitation of a child after an undercover officer with the Loganville Police Department met him in an online chatroom, said Habersham County Sheriff DeRay Fincher.
"He did engage in conversation with (the officer he believed to be a girl) on nine separate occasions, during which he engaged in sexually explicit conversation with the (officer), who he knew to be 14 years of age," Sheriff Fincher said.
Mount Bethel is a small church in Habersham County on Ga. 17. Calls to the church were not answered Friday.
Loganville officers contacted the sheriff's office, and the two departments worked together to arrest Mr. Coats. Habersham County also executed search warrants for the church and his home, which is owned by the church. Two computers were taken and sent to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation for further evaluation. It will likely be months before anything is found out about the computers, Sheriff Fincher said.
"(We tell kids) people online may not be who they say they are," Sheriff Fincher said. "We encourage parents to monitor what their children are doing. … It can happen in your house."
