Well, I'm back and rested from my trip to San Francisco. The trip was great - the travel there went smoothly and everything went well checking into the hotel. After getting situated in, I spent a good portion of the night sleeping and got up early the next day for the trip to Wikia headquarters.
It was a rainy morning, but I had my umbrella and I made it in without getting too wet. Things cleared up somewhat later in the day and it stopped raining.
At Wikia's headquarters, I was introduced to the tool that they use to create videos upon request. It's a neat program that has access to a lot of video, including all of the Harry Potter movies. Unfortunately, that particular service was acting rather flaky at the time (the fault of the third-par…Read more >
Well, my trip has begun and I am now on my way to Wikia's headquarters, where I shall discover the deepest secrets of Wikia. ... ... Okay, well, maybe not, but it should be a good time.
Currently I am in the Dallas Airport, waiting for the trip to San Francisco. Trip's been fine so far - flight to Dallas departed a bit later than scheduled, but then arrived earlier than scheduled, so I've got a bit of extra time.
I'll keep you updated here as the trip continues, so watch this spot. And if you have any questions or anything about Wikia (the headquarters), you can ask them here, and I'll see if maybe I can answer them.
Day 2 - Morning
I am in San Francisco - I am scheduled to arrive at Wikia's headquarters in about an hour. Trip was fine - flig…Read more >
Harry Potter fans - if you've been waiting for Wonderbook: Book of Spells, now is your chance. It's Black Friday, and there's not likely to be any better deals on this new and exciting Harry Potter video game title anytime soon. I just purchased the Wonderbook with PlayStation Move and Eye camera on Amazon, but you have choices, so let's break them down:
- PlayStation Move Bundle with PlayStation Eye camera on Amazon - You can find this here. The price is $49.99 and if you have Amazon Prime, you get free shipping in two business days (though it's noted that it "may take an additional 1-2 days to process") or if you don't have Prime, you have the option of free "Super Saver Shipping," but you may have to wait a while to get it.

Some exciting news - Wikia has offered me a free trip to their headquarters in California at the end of this month. I'll be spending a day there at their headquarters and while there, I'll be learning about and discussing the latest features for videos on Wikia. The travel expenses are entirely paid, so it's a pretty neat deal.
While I'm there, if there's any questions anyone wants me to ask, or anything they'd like to find out, just let me know. I'll try to represent the Harry Potter Wiki while I'm there, as well as my pet project, the Eternal Sonata Wiki. Really excited about the trip and this opportunity to learn more about Wikia!Read more >
Hallowe'en has come, and the ghosts and goblins are out!
We celebrate Hallowe'een here on the Harry Potter Wiki, but for Harry Potter, Hallowe'en brings mixed feelings, as this way the day that he lost his parents, James and Lily Potter to Lord Voldemort, who was certainly out on on trick-or-treating expedition that night.
On the other hand, Hallowe'en brought the delicious Hallowe'en feast, but also thrills and danger in the form of Quirinus Quirrell's first mountain troll and the Deathday Party for Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, followed by Harry's hearing a strange voice and the discovery of the opening of the Chamber of Secrets. 31 October was also the day of Sirius Black's attack on the Fat Lady and the fateful day when Harry learned tha…

Russell Brand and Katy Perry Practice Parenthood on Their CatErin Blakeley
Russell Brand and Katy Perry seem to be getting closer and closer to taking the plunge and becoming parents. But in the meantime, they're getting in all the practice they can–on their cat.
Brand and Perry recently adopted a kitten together, whom they named Krusty, and Brand recently told the mirror that Krusty has become their practice kid.
"That's why we've got a kitten, Brand told the Mirror. "It's perfect training for having kids. Since being with Katy, I've got this masculine urge to protect."
I'm not really sure that mommying a kitten is going to help with mind-blowing, all-consuming experience of becoming someone's parent, but hey, I applaud the effort.
And as a side note, my husband and I practiced using the Ergo carrier for weeks by stuffing an E.T. doll into it and toting it around the apartment. It felt like a safer option than using the real live baby. So I guess I'm not one to judge.

When you think about it, can any engineering college provide better training than Larsen & Toubro (L&T)?
It appears the engineering giant has also woken up to the fact that, in India, if it wants the best engineers in the world, it would have to play a role in their training. Alarmed at the lack of game-changing research at engineering colleges in the country, L&T, in collaboration with several medium-sized companies, has started a programme under which students can utilise their infrastructure to work on contemporary research in civil engineering and associated sectors.

Seeing the Previously UnseenWritten by The Night Sky Guy on September 30, 2009 – 2:00 pm -
Yesterday, as the MESSENGER spacecraft approached Mercury for the mission's third flyby of the Solar System's innermost planet, it captured this striking view (image on right). This image shows portions of Mercury's surface that had remained unseen by spacecraft even after the three flybys by Mariner 10 in 1974-75 and MESSENGER's two earlier flybys in 2008. In this image, just returned to Earth early this morning, the newly imaged terrain is located in a wide vertical strip near the limb of the planet (on the left side of Mercury's partially sunlit disk). This image is just one of 11 taken through the camera's narrow-band color filters, and this set of images will be used to examine color differences on Mercury's surface and to learn about the evolution of crustal rocks on the planet.
In this image below, Mercury's northern horizon cuts a crisp line against the blackness of space. The surface in the lower right corner of the image is near Mercury's terminator, the line between the light dayside and dark night side of the planet. Looking toward the horizon, smooth plains extend for large distances, similar to volcanic plains seen nearby during MESSENGER's second flyby of Mercury. Members of the MESSENGER Science Team are gathered today at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, discussing these high-resolution images in detail.

Meteor over ClevelandWritten by The Night Sky Guy on September 30, 2009 – 11:30 am -
"It was taken in downtown Cleveland off of Franklin Ave and West 25th… (not too good about directions like north and south) with a digital SLR Canon Rebel XTi. " says photographer Miranda Nenadovich. "I set my camera on my tripod and walked away to look out at the skyline and saw the bright green flash off to the left out of nowhere…only lasted about 3 to 4 seconds. I didnt think it would show up on my camera but luckily it did."
Note: Still waiting for release of Ontario university fim footage. Will keep you posted…

Moon Joined by Jupiter TonightWritten by The Night Sky Guy on September 29, 2009 – 10:19 am -
Look at the Moon in the southeast skies after sunset and you will see that there is a sparkling creamy coloured star hanging just underneath it – Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system. They are sitting in the faint zodiac constellation Capricornus, a mythical creature that is half fish, half goat. It's interesting to note that this faint triangular pattern of its brighter stars is one of the oldest known -first recorded in Babylonian star catalogs around 1000 BC.
To the unaided eye these two bright worlds you see tonight, appear to be only 4 full moon disks apart. Of course this cosmic odd couple varies greatly in size and distance from us. While the waxing gibbous moon is only 3,475 km wide and about 400,900 km away, Jupiter is a whopping 143,900 km wide and is 645 million km distant.
Just think that while it takes reflected light off the surface of the Moon only 1.5 seconds to reach your eye, light travels for nearly 36 minutes from the gas giant to reach Earth. Just something cool to think about when taking in this celestial sight tonight.

Searching for Videos and Pieces of MeteorWritten by The Night Sky Guy on September 26, 2009 – 10:21 pm -
There is no doubt that Friday night's meteor event was a spectacular one, just from the hundreds of people relaying their personal experiences here and through emails. Astronomers will be interested in using these eyewitness reports from across the region to triangulate the direction the meteor was heading and figure our where, if any, fragments may have landed.
From many of the accounts received here the ball of light did appear to break up into sparkling pieces before fizzling out. So there is good reason to think that pieces may have rained down across one specific locale. The question is where?
The search continues for good photos and videos of the meteor itself. In past events like these security cameras, like in parking lots for instance, may have recorded something. Also police car dashcams can make amazing records of fireballs like this one. Check out this video made last year in November 20, 2008 from a cop car in Edmonton, Alberta. It would be wonderful to get footage like this from Friday's event.

Meteor Flash Across South OntarioWritten by The Night Sky Guy on September 26, 2009 – 10:22 am -
Update Sept. 26, 10 am ET: Eyewitness from GTO caught the meteor flashes reflected off the ground on a videocam, "… shows a faint glow from that meteor in the Toronto area. The location is Laird and Eglinton in Toronto. Top right corner of the video is west left is towards the south."
Reports are still coming in from all over the South Ontario region with many witnesses describing a loud rumble that shook homes associated with the flash of white and green light that lasted about 3 to 4 seconds. Click on this link to see the video: Toronto videocam records meteor flash, Courtesy of Glen McKiernan, Toronto, Ontario
Update 11:30 pm ET: Just got two eyewitness reports from Ottawa region. One observer recounts, "From the size it was that we saw, we thought someone was setting off fireworks in the area."
Reports are coming in from between Hamilton and Toronto area, that a spectacularly bright flash of light has streaked across the skies in a amtter of just 4 seconds, happening just after 9 pm Eastern time. One observer in Hamilton saw the sky light up as if by a lightening bolt. Some report hearing a thud or thunder-like sound associated with it. One Mississauga resident reports a firecracker sound associated with the streak of light.
These descriptions sound like the object was a meteor, probably the size of a basketball up to a sofa-sized rock from space that burned up in the atmosphere. Astronomers call these unusually bright flashes fireballs or bolides. Meteors can travel around 70 km per second and mostly get ionized in the upper atmosphere, but when they are this big they can fragment and pieces can make it to the ground. Stay tuned for more details to come.

Peak Time for Northern LightsWritten by The Night Sky Guy on September 25, 2009 – 8:06 pm -
Early Autumn nights are some of the best times to catch sight of the beautiful Aurora Borealis. These shimmering and dancing ghostly glows in the night tend to increase in frequency at this time of the year, for as yet an unknown reason. And when they occur more often, there is a better chance for folks in more southerly latitudes to see the stronger storms. In fact sometimes auroras can be seen as far south as Florida and Mexico. For those in Canada, you might be surprised to learn, cities near the US border can get good displays at least once a season.
These cosmic light shows begin on the surface of the Sun where giant clouds of high energy particles are produced and ejected into space. Known as Coronal Mass Ejections or CMEs, these clouds travel at breakneck speeds reaching Earth in only a matter of two or three days. We have sun-watching satellites that keep tabs on when these CMEs are heading our way, but we only can get a few days warning at best. When they do arrive within Earth's vicinity, our planet's magnetic field acts as force field protecting us from their potentially damaging radiation, but the particles do get funnelled down through the poles along the magnetic lines. The more energy the particles have, the deeper they can penetrate into our atmosphere. hey collide with oxygen and nitrogen molecules in the air and make them glow in shades of green, pink, red, and violet colours.
To catch these elusive displays, take a look outside around local midnight, facing the northern horizon in a dark location away from light pollution. There are no guarantees that you will see one on any old clear night, but there is a way to hedge your bets, and that is by signing up for an email alert at www.spaceweather.com . It is a great service and gives you a fighting chance to hunt down an aurora display and not waist your time. Also check out my Sky Tonight page and examine the real-time LIVE satellite shot looking down at auroras happening right now over the North American continent. You can tell if there are any Northern Lights activity going on in your neck of the woods.

Confirmed: Moon is Full of WaterWritten by The Night Sky Guy on September 24, 2009 – 4:44 pm -
NASA team of scientists gave a news conference this afternoon detailing their groundbreaking discovery of finding large reservoirs of water molecules covering most of the lunar surface. Three different spacecrafts (Cassini, Deep Impact, and Chaandryan-1), all equipped with water-sniffing spectrometers, independently detected the chemical fingerprints of water. The amounts relative to Earthly terms are modest – about one litre of water per tonne of lunar soil, but experts estimate that it may well equal over a billion tonnes of water locked into the minerals in just the top few millimeters of soil. They found that there were higher concentrations of water around young craters, forming distinctive ejecta deposits of deeper material dug up by the impacts, as well as higher concentrations detected around the lunar poles.
But how did all this water get there? This has left researchers scratching their heads, and will surely be a point of debate for years to come. We just don't know enough about the processes that are going on to say definitely, but there are few theories, which may be complimentary. one is that there is a lot of oxygen bound up in the soil naturally, and charged particles of super-fast hydrogen from the Sun bombards the lunar surface daily. The oxygen is knocked out of its bonds and fuses with the newly arrived hydrogen forming water. Another, more established theory that has been around for a number of years states that ancient comets that bombarded the Moon, deposited their frozen water, and we can find them still hidden in the permanently shadowed bottoms of craters in the southern lunar pole.
This abundance of water may have big implications for any future manned missions to the Moon. Billions of tonnes of water ripe for the taking, is exactly what any lunar residents would need to extract for drinking water, rocket fuel, and for greenhouses to make food. This discovery may very well be a game changer for NASA's plans to return to the Moon. Definitely something they have been hoping for since the early Apollo days!
Here is the entire NASA news conference…

Soggy Moon?Written by The Night Sky Guy on September 23, 2009 – 10:05 pm -
The web is buzzing tonight with word that NASA scientists have confirmed that our Moon is awash with water in many locales. These findings will be formally released during a press conference tomorrow afternoon to coincide with 3 scientific papers being published in the journal SCIENCE this week. Here is a summary of the articles as released tonight by folks at AAAS, who run the journal…
"This week, three reports utilize data collected by three separate spacecrafts to provide evidence of hydroxyl (OH) or water – or both – on the surface of the Moon. These findings are forcing a reexamination of the notion that our Moon is completely dry. Carle Pieters and colleagues reviewed data from the Chandrayaan-1 space mission and found that infrared light was being absorbed near the lunar poles at wavelengths consistent with hydroxyl- and water-bearing materials.
This report, along with the others, state that the bound water or hydroxyl on the Moon's surface seems to become more abundant as one gets closer to either of the lunar poles. Roger Clark uses data from a high-tech spectrometer on the Cassini spacecraft to identify this water or hydroxyl near the poles and at lower latitudes as well. Jessica Sunshine and colleagues describe infrared mapping by the Deep Impact spacecrafts that likewise confirms the presence of bound water or hydroxyl in trace amounts over much of the Moon's surface. Their results suggest that the formation and retention of these molecules is an ongoing process on the lunar surface – and that solar wind could be responsible for forming them.
Taken together, these reports suggest that the water or hydroxyl in the polar regions of the Moon might have migrated there over time, attracted to the colder environment. "
NASA Television and the agency's Web site will provide live coverage of the announcement at 2 pm Eastern time, Thursday, Sept.24th. You can follow along live here.

Tonight: Moon next to AntaresWritten by The Night Sky Guy on September 23, 2009 – 2:57 pm -
For skywatchers in the western hemisphere the waxing crescent Moon will swing by the Scorpion's heart, Antares, early this evening.
Look for the Moon in the low southwest sky after sunset. About seven full moon disks to its upper left will be the bright orange supergiant star that is the lead member in the constellation Scorpius. While this ancient pattern of stars is well above the horizon for northern latitude observers in the late summer, by end of September its lower half is hidden below the horizon – except for 600 light year distant Antares.
For observers in most of Asia and Pacific basin, the Moon will actually occult – or eclipse – Antares in the late Wednesday afternoon.
Did you know that the portrait of this beast in the sky has no claws -like a real scorpion does? Actually when the ancient Greek's fomed this constellation it did have claws. But later in Roman times around the first-century AD, Julius Ceasar and his senator buddies decided that Rome needed a cosmic tribute – so they cut off the Scorpion's claws and made it into its own constellation representing scales of justice, we call Libra. Legends had it that the Moon was in the part of the sky occupied by Libra when Rome was founded, hence its special place in history.

Touring the Andromeda GalaxyWritten by The Night Sky Guy on September 22, 2009 – 3:25 pm -
In a break from its usual task of searching for distant cosmic explosions, NASA's Swift satellite has acquired the highest-resolution view of a neighboring spiral galaxy ever attained in the ultraviolet. The galaxy, known as M31 in the constellation Andromeda, is the largest and closest spiral galaxy to our own.
"Swift reveals about 20,000 ultraviolet sources in M31, especially hot, young stars and dense star clusters," said Stefan Immler, a research scientist on the Swift team at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. "Of particular importance is that we have covered the galaxy in three ultraviolet filters. That will let us study M31's star-formation processes in much greater detail than previously possible."
M31, also known as the Andromeda Galaxy, is more than 220,000 light-years across and lies 2.5 million light-years away. On a clear,dark night, the galaxy is faintly visible as a misty patch to the naked eye.
Check out this amazing NASA video telling the story behind the image…

As the earthquake that shook Washington, D.C., area today demonstrates, damage to your primary place of business can occur suddenly and without warning. Having a crisis management plan on the ready is essential to minimizing the interruption to your business.
The business continuity plan improves the company's capacity to return to business, thereby minimizing financial losses and preserving customer relationships. A plan can help reduce insurance premiums. And it can reduce the company's exposure to civil or criminal liability.
The HR manager is an integral member of the crisis management planning team. The HR manager fulfills the company's moral responsibility to protect employees while they are at work.
Here are a set of basic recovery steps business will want to plan in advance to get back on its feet.
1) Use your company's specific response, recovery and resumption plan
2) Coordinate efforts to respond and recover through organization amd administration; random efforts will not benefit anyone
3) Establish a command center for response and recovery on-site or nearby if possible
4) Initiate your business resumption timeline to provide benchmarks in response and recovery
5) Ensure primary backup records at another location are not allowed to be damaged or accessible to potential theft.
6) Communicate with all individuals involved with the disaster response recovery
7) Monitor critical community relations avoid too much information or wrong information that may have to be retracted.
8) Record the response, recovery and resumption process for liability purpose and insurance claims.
These tips and a lot more are in the HR Guide to Business Continuity, a comprehensive instructional volume on how to keep your organization functioning in the event of a catastrophic event, including power failures, flooding, earthquakes, terrorist attacks, workplace violence and pandemic outbreaks.

Gold Bond's New Powder Spray is Perfect for Runners
It's summertime, and this year it looks like the heat is hanging on for dear life. As an athlete, I'm used to sweating, but when the humidity skyrockets, I no longer sweat, I pour. This pouring can bring on so many more issues, like chafing. A small irritation that leads to a constant pain with every swing of the arm or stride of the leg. Seriously, "ain't nobody got time for that." Thankfully there are options out there to keep the chaffing away. Gold Bond has just released one of the most helpful products yet.
Gold Bond No Mess Powder Spray just hit the market. similar to the classic powder formula, the spray is intended to keep people dry and cool. Is there anyone desiring dryness and coolness more than a runner? The best way to test this new product was to simply let runners use it and report the findings.
Sean Amore and Emily Behlmann are two runners taking part in a training promotion called ""The Local Joes." The "Joes" are people who have never been runners, haven't run in a long time, or simply haven't trained specifically to finish a race. They are training for Wichita's Prairie Fire Marathon and Half Marathon. They were perfect test subjects for the Gold Bond spray. Sean and Emily have gotten to know the brutal trials that runners go through, even the chafing blunders, this summer. They both tested the sprays and here's what the new or renewed runners had to say.

Associated Press Release
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Former Florida A&M band members are pleading not guilty to increased charges of manslaughter related to the death of drum major Robert Champion.
Defendants entered written pleas Friday to the increased charges.
More than a dozen former FAMU band members were charged last year with hazing, a third-degree felony, from Champion's death. But prosecutors increased the charges to manslaughter last month.
Two former band members already have pleaded no-contest to third-degree felony hazing last year, and a third is expected to enter a plea later this month.
Champion collapsed and died in Orlando in November 2011 after what prosecutors say was a savage beating during a hazing ritual. It happened on a bus parked in a hotel parking lot after FAMU played a rival in football.

Nobel prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz today raised questions on Indias economic roadmap whether only the rich would get richer or whether the benefits of growth would be shared by the population as a whole.
Delivering the key-note address at the 46th convocation at Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), Baranagar, Stiglitz said, There is no clear roadmap for where India is going today. Fifty years from now, does it see itself much as it is today - a divided country, only with the rich much richer, the poor perhaps a little better than they are today? Does it see itself evolving like the US where even the middle class has not been sharing the gains of growth? Where the rich live in gated communities, waited upon by the vast majority of the poor who earn in a lifetime but a fraction of what they receive in an hour? Or will India go down the path of those countries that have managed to have rapid, sustainable growth with the benefits of that growth widely shared within the population?
Present on the dais was Union minister for finance Pranab Mukherjee, who listened to the lecture in rapt attention.

CORINTH – Two suspects being held on other charges have now been accused of disposing of the body of a Tennessee woman who died in late October.
Aaron Hastings, 30, of Corinth, and Amanda Ervin Wilbanks, 32, of Ramer, Tenn., have been charged with disposal of a corpse, a felony, by the Alcorn County Sheriff's Department, said sheriff's Investigator Jerry Rogers.
Donna Hill of Ramer, Tenn., who was found floating in the Tuscumbia River in Alcorn County on Oct. 25. Since then, law enforcement from Mississippi and Tennessee have pursued leads in the case.
"The medical examiner's report is not in yet, but there is nothing that leads us to believe she died in Alcorn County," Rogers said Tuesday.
Hastings was initially picked up for questioning on Oct. 27 after being suspected of breaking into the family home on Burns Road in Corinth.
He was charged with burglary and remains in Corinth city jail on $50,000 bond. An additional bond of $25,000 has been set on the disposal of a corpse charge.
Wilbanks was charged with theft of property of more than $10,000 after she was found Oct. 26 driving the car that had been rented to Hill. She is is being held in the McNairy County, Tenn., jail with a bond of $25,000 for the theft charge.
"If she makes the bond in Tennessee we have put a hold on her for the charges in Alcorn County," Rogers said.
While the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is in charge of continuing the investigation into Hill's death, the case is at a standstill awaiting the autopsy results from the Mississippi medical examiner, said Special Agent in Charge John Mehr.

Happy Birthday John Eric Home: Magazine Celebrates One Year Anniversary
Washington, DC — John Eric Home is celebrating its first year anniversary with the publication of the magazine's February issue. The real estate and lifestyle magazine, published by local realtor John Eric, features articles on food, entertaining, travel, fashion, technology and interior design. Feature stories profile iconic Washington institutions and personalities.
Started as a means of communication between John Eric and his clients, the magazine's readership has grown beyond the parameters of real estate and into that of the general public. "Our goal with the magazine was to grow the reader base through my past and current clients," says Eric. "We hoped to have at least 1000 reads per month. We have exceeded our own expectations tremendously by having more than 6000 reads for our Nov/Dec double issue. The word is getting out."
The February issue of John Eric Home includes feature articles on the boutique IP law firm ZwillGen, a profile of the Federal Communications Commission and a special tribute to mark the magazine's anniversary. Casa Oaxaca is featured in its Foodie section and Mixology celebrates the month of Carnival. Spring fashion tips and a piece on body monitoring and the Cloud rounds out the editorial.
Since its inception, seven regular contributors have joined the magazine's ranks. "We are very pleased with the reception of the magazine," says Angela Casey, Managing Editor. "Heavy industry hitters are writing for our publication and it's wonderful. In the coming year even more sections will be added."
The March issue debuts two new monthly features. The first will be written by Marc Schliefer of the Equity Planning Institute, Inc. titled "Money and Finance." The second, "Being Diplomatic" will be a monthly Q&A session with ambassadors from Washington embassies. On the heels of the March issue, the April publication debuts a new feature that is wine-based.
"We hope to grow John Eric Home into a regional power house of information for our community," remarks Eric, "and be the 'go-to' magazine for all Washingtonians. But, also, for those outside of the area to learn more about this great city and its culture."
The issue is now available for free download on both johneric.com and issuu.com/johnericcompanies/docs/je.feb.2013.issuu.

I am so glad we chose this company!!! While another company chose to fly in wind, our pilot took a safer approach, and rescheduled us.

India's stock market regulator may investigate the domestic unit of Credit Suisse Group to determine whether price sensitive information about a share deal that the authority has ruled to be insider trading was leaked by the investment bank.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on Thursday accused Hong Kong-based multi-asset fund Factorial Capital Management Ltd of shorting L&T Finance Holdings Ltd before the announcement of a share sale in mid-March.
SEBI said it may probe whether Credit Suisse staff had revealed to Factorial that the L&T Finance deal would be done at a discount, but the regulator did not accuse the bank of any wrongdoing.
Instead, the regulator focused its investigation on Factorial, barring the hedge fund from trading Indian securities. The hedge fund has 21 days to respond.
"At this stage, the channel of communication of the unpublished price sensitive information is not ascertainable," SEBI said in its case. "This aspect needs thorough investigation so as to come to a definite conclusion."
In a statement, Factorial said the allegations by SEBI were "without merit" and that it would fully cooperate with the investigation.
A Credit Suisse spokeswoman in Hong Kong declined to comment. Most investment banks restrict staff access to price sensitive information to avoid leaks
The accusations come after SEBI chairman U.K. Sinha stepped up the fight against insider trading and share manipulation, hoping to stamp out rampant practices that were a key factor behind the exodus of $5.15 billion in retail investments from stock funds over the past five years.
The regulator, notorious for its timid enforcement of market violations, is also overhauling its two-decade-old insider trading law to give it more muscle, but these amendments have yet to come into effect.
"It's quite surprising to see such swift action," Sai Venkateshwaran, a partner at KPMG in Mumbai said, referring to the Factorial case. "SEBI is trying to put in place better enforcement mechanisms to ensure speedy action," he added.
Lawyers said the maximum penalty for an insider trading conviction was currently 250 million rupees ($4.22 million) or three times the profit made on fraudulent trades.
In a seven-page document, SEBI said it had established that Factorial was approached by Credit Suisse about their interest in a potential share sale of L&T Finance by its majority owner Larsen & Toubro Ltd, India's biggest engineering company. Such an approach is part of the process of any deal.

Jalandhar, 5 March, (HSB)
Terming NCTC as a dangerous proposal and a terrific idea designed to stifle the dissenting voice of minorities under the garb of combating terrorism the radical Sikh organization Dal Khalsa has shot off a letter to Indian Home Minister P.Chidambaram.
The Indian government's proposal to set up a National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC) as a multi-agency centre with an aim to combat the so-called terrorism in the country, has courted controversy right from the word go. The proposal has been put on hold for the time being after a good number of Chief Ministers have raised their objections describing centre's move as an
encroachment on the powers of state governments.
Various Sikh bodies including the SAD has expressed its opposition to
the government's proposal as they apprehend that just as draconian
laws were misused to crush dissent,the wide powers to the NCTC would also be deployed to stifle the voice of those who question the bonafide of the Indian state.
Joining the issue, the Dal Khalsa has written a letter of the HM urging the Indian government to evolve methods for peaceful conflict resolution, by removing the causes of violence as well as making the existing agencies accountable to people and Parliament. The letter has asked the Government of India to shelve the idea of creating the new "anti-terror super body".
We reproduce here the full text of the letter written by Kanwar Pal Singh, secretary of the Dal Khalsa.
Full text of the letter:
Dear Home Minister,
Dal Khalsa writes to you to express its opposition to the proposal of setting up of new body named National Counter-terrorism centre (NCTC) without prior eliberations with states, ethnic minority communities,democratic and civil liberty organisations.
While the Indian Union government is understandably concerned about the War on Terror, the Sikh nation and other nationalities are concerned about how to fight the War of Errors of the Indian state.
There is no doubt that we are living in dangerous times, but the civility of a government, its respect for rule of law and adherence to precepts of democratic functioning is tested in such times.
Many countries of the world are chasing global peace as a law and order issue without addressing sociological and political issues.India has had a poor perspective of the regional peace issues in the sub-continent. It continues to have a flawed and non-functioning federal structure.
India has a string of security and intelligence agencies, which enjoys full impunity. These agencies are beyond a parliamentary review. Their actions are contradictory to the spirit of the Indian constitution. These agencies function as if they are above the law of the land. Parliamentary review of the work of intelligence agencies is a
democratic norm which India continues to avoid steadfastly.
Since decades, minorities, ethnic nationalities and regional groups have faced the wrath of the Indian security agencies. Intelligence bodies connive with the security agencies and play havoc with the lives of people who hold dissenting views. The proposal to set up the NCTC as a superior organisation of security and intelligence bodies is fraught with danger. As we have suffered in Punjab, such dangers are galore. The impunity granted to the security forces has been responsible for death, torture and illegal detentions. The errors committed by security agencies are not just errors of judgment while in the throes of a battle, but deliberate, pre-meditated and well-executed plans of destruction and death of those "who do not agree" or those who "do not fall in line".
While we welcome the response of states, this response is based on party considerations. States with non-Congress governments are opposing your proposal while those who see "eye to eye" with you are blindly welcoming it, without realising that once the intelligence and security agencies get powers and impunity from accountability, they turn uncontrollable Frankenstein monsters. The love for federalism, as recently projected in the media is a sham. Most of the states in India are acknowledged violators of the rightful aspirations of their people. It will not be long when for fiscal and political considerations, all will easily "fall in line".
The manner in which the state of Punjab has been looted by the Centre in the name of restoration of law and order, rights suspended under draconian laws, we cannot buy arguments based on public utterances of your government or even that of the respective state governments. State-terrorism has been stalking the Sikhs for long. With reference to contemporary history, Dal Khalsa apprehends that just as draconian laws were (mis)used to crush dissent, now the wide powers to NCTC will be used to stifle the voice of those who question the bonafide of the Indian state. Dal Khalsa is determined to uphold its right to dissent and disagree.
We believe that resolution of political conflicts cannot be a law and order issue. India has all along made that mistake. From Kashmir to Punjab to the North-East, India has countered "terrorism" purely as a law enforcement issue and not seen it in the realm of conflict resolution within the parameters of human rights obligations. It is time that India does so. Will you consider our proposal or still ride roughshod the way it has been happening over the decades?
We urge your government to do re-thinking on the proposal to set-up NCTC. Instead of going for the creation of a new "anti-terror super body", your government should evolve methodologies for peaceful conflict resolution thereby removing the very cause for violence as well as making the existing security and intelligence agencies
accountable to people and the Parliament.
Yours sincerely
Kanwar Pal Singh
Dal Khalsa

For all of you out there still searching for the Infernus.
After you have done some of the Brucie missions you get the phone call from Stevie, who texts you pictures of cars he wants you to collect. One of these cars is the Infernus.
There are no GPS markers to help you find the cars and it's not strictly speaking a main mission.
If you haven't already delivered the car then collect it and drive straight to a safehouse.
The place to get it is on the 1st Island just above the roundabout that is on the top left of the bottom park (Outlook Park). The road itself is called 'Montauk Ave', it heads north from roundabout. (You may have to wait for Stevie to request it tho which is done randomly!)
If you want more than one of them (most people would!), then keep reading.
On your way to the safehouse you will see more Infernus's on the road. (If not keep driving around til you do!).
You need to get on the same road as safehouse, then drive up and dowm in the Infernus until you see another one close(ish) to your safehouse parking area.
The trick is to keep your car in range whilst you jump out and steal a second Infernus. (If you get too far away from 1st car it will disappear). If you manage to get the second car and can still see the first one then go back to it and try to push one of them towards your parking zone. Once inside the zone it's safe. (Either save right away or drive to another safehouse to save game). This way you get both cars saved. If cops see you steal 2nd car then you may have to try again when you've lost them!
Once the 1st car is saved you need to repeat the process again. Remembering to always take your car back to a second space outside a safehouse before saving.
It can be a lengthy process but I've now got an Infernus outside every safehouse. If I crash one I just repeat the process again later on. As long as you have at least one saved then you can have unlimited Infernus's.
Obviously, this process can be used for all cars that you want to keep, unless your on a mission that involves it directly.
Anyway, hope this helps you. I'd been looking for them for ages and couldn't find any help anywhere!.

I thought I would try something completely new. Nine times out of ten, when I get the urge to blog, I am VERY, VERY ANGRY. Today though I am going to see what comes out when I am the polar opposite of angry, when I am walking on air, happier than the proverbial porcine in poo. And all because I love the smell of spilt Tea in the morning!
At the risk of sounding like Howard Dean, do you know what happened in Ohio and Mississippi and Arizona and North Carolina and Maine and, and, and, and . . . yeeaaaarrrrgggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
We'll tell our children and grandchildren about our long national nightmare and the night that it finally began to lift, the night of Referenda on Teabaggery Across the Land!
So dance, rejoice, if you like to drink, now's the time to have one, if a fattie is more your style, smoke 'em if you got 'em. Last night the 99% began to show the 1% and its useful idiots what's what and what will be. Now rest up for the real fight ahead, in 2012. We'll have some SERIOUS right wing ass kicking to do. Tonight, the only thing I wouldn't do is get between John Boehner and a bottle.

The results were redness, pain and itching around the site, wheezing, coughing and dizzyness. She now has an epi-pen.
She has only been stung once in all her 13 years, and that resulted in swelling, tightness in the chest and minor breathing difficulty that subsided without treatment. (We were on a bushwalk - no assistance or treatment was available)
So my question is, does this mean if she actually got stung by a bee, would her reaction have been worse due to more venom, or is the reaction similiar regardless of dose? Is this the type of allergy people will grow out of or is that only minor allergies?
My son also has large local reactions to bee stings, the second one much worse than the first (he has been stung twice but has not had an allergy test, we just talked about it in the course of my daughters appointment) but when I told the specialist I thought maybe it was because the sting wasn't removed quickly the second time he said it wouldn't have made that much of a difference. Yet the test is with small amount of venom (presumably to make it safer) so I am confused as to whether dosage matters or not?
I know it's probably not really relevent but I'm just curious. Google hasn't helped, so I am hoping EB can.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- Gov. Beverly Perdue has called on the embattled chairman of the North Carolina Democratic Party to resign, adding her name to the list of party leaders seeking David Parker's departure.
In a statement issued Tuesday, Perdue said she had spoken with Parker several times and told him that he had lost the confidence of party leaders. She said she asked him to step aside for the good of the party.
Perdue said Democrats needed to return to focusing on their core issues and end the controversy, which has already led to the resignation of the party's executive director.
Jay Parmley resigned last Sunday. Earlier Tuesday, Parker reiterated he would not step down.
Lt. Gov. Walter Dalton is joining the list of high-ranking Democrats who want North Carolina Democratic Party Chairman David Parker to resign in the wake of harassment allegations at the party headquarters.
The candidate for North Carolina governor said Tuesday it's become evident that Parker's effectiveness as party leader is greatly hindered and the party can't afford the issue to distract its efforts in a key election year.
Five other Democratic members of the Council of State called on Parker earlier Tuesday to step down from the post. Parker has said he won't resign and wrote a memo to other party leaders about how he wants to change personnel rules.
Party executive director Jay Parmley resigned Sunday but denied any employee harassment.
Previous Story
Five Democratic statewide elected officials have called on state Democratic Party Chairman David Parker to resign as party regulars have learned recently about alleged harassment within Democratic headquarters.
The Council of State members said Tuesday it was in the best interest of North Carolina and the party for Parker to step aside because he can no longer be as effective as he needs to be under the circumstances. Party executive director Jay Parmley resigned Sunday. He denied participating in any harassment of party employees.
Gov. Beverly Perdue told reporters Tuesday the situation was an internal party personnel matter and declined further comment.
Parker said again Tuesday he wouldn't resign.
The five are calling for Parker's resignation are Elaine Marshall, June Atkinson, Wayne Goodwin, Janet Cowell and Beth Wood.

One of the most disappointing by-products of the comment thread – along with people's inability to remember what the original topic was, and the almost inevitable reference to Nazi Germany – is the smug one-upmanship of grammatical peevers and language pedants.
Here's how it might go. One comment will point out a mistake in the article. Another comment will then point out a mistake in the first comment. Then someone will spot a mistake in that comment, and so on. It's a tedious and rather immature form of point-scoring, especially as most of the so-called 'mistakes' aren't strictly speaking errors at all.
In The Guardian recently, for instance, a TV review of Ricky Gervais' Derek suggested that the portrayal of the character's learning difficulties amounted to a rather crude assemblage of tics and eccentricities, such as Derek's inability to find agreement between subject and verb: 'It's always a dead giveaway,' wrote the reviewer, 'poor verb declension'.
It only took a few internet moments before a commenter pointed out that verbs are strictly speaking conjugated, not declined. But that remark was itself attacked for 'treating life like a grammar lesson', to which someone else snarked that it should surely be 'treat life as a grammar lesson'. Another commenter pointed to the irony of muddling your grammatical terms 'whilst criticising the show for using crude grammatical mistakes as a cheap character indicator'. But they got told off too for saying 'whilst' rather than 'while'. And so, depressingly, it went on.
In linguistic one-upmanship there's always someone cleverer than you to trump your point, and they don't come much cleverer than the experts at Language Log. In sharp contrast to threads like the one above, Language Log is one of the glories of the internet age. It's written by a broad church of academic linguists with the goal of bridging understanding about language between scientists and the general public.
The first blog ever to have been cited in an academic paper, Language Log is not an easy read but it repays study. Many of the posts use careful argument, historical evidence and statistical data to expose commonly-held grammatical 'rules' for the prescriptivist poppycock they usually are. There's nothing intrinsically incorrect about using 'they' in the singular (as in para 4 above), for example, or using the passive voice, or beginning a sentence with 'and', or ending one with a preposition. You can use 'imply' to mean 'infer' (Jane Austen did, and the OED concurs), you can say 'very unique' (see Merriam Webster), and you can of course split an infinitive, as Shakespeare liked to.
The point-scoring of grammar pedants -- and we've all been there at some point -- has a lot to answer for. On my copywriting courses I frequently encounter people who labour under the misapprehension that they don't know grammar or can't write properly because they don't know about split infinitives or they haven't read Strunk and White's Elements of Style (a much-trumpeted little usage manual that Language Log has little time for).
Yet many of these people are great communicators of the written word. Good writing is about having something to say, thinking hard about who you're going to say it to, and working even harder to get you message across in the most economical, logical and user-friendly way you can. Good writing works hard to make easy reading. For my money, the best way to improve your writing is not to parrot a lot of dubious rulebooks, but to read lots of writers you admire. And the best way to have something intelligent to say about grammar? Start with Language Log.

New Tools for a Tough Job
During the first few decades of the molecular biology revolution, one thing has become abundantly clear: nature abhors protein chemists. While their colleagues have bounded ahead in the study of nucleic acids, sequencing genes, then genomes, and now entire ecosystems with apparent ease, protein science has had to struggle at every turn.
Indeed, the biology of proteins seems almost perfectly designed to thwart analysis. Protein function depends on complex 3D interactions, often governed by obscure post-translational modifications and Byzantine networks of other proteins. Even complete genome sequences provide little more than vague hints at how any of these interactions might work.
Over the past few years, though, protein scientists have gradually adapted old techniques and developed a few new ones, yielding a new generation of tools that are finally starting to crack some of the field's toughest problems. Protein analysis is still a tough job, but a sampling of a few of these new methods suggests that it might at least be improving.
Tiny tubes
In many areas of protein analysis, change has been more evolutionary than revolutionary. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is an old idea that researchers and product developers are now overhauling with new technology. Like slab gel electrophoresis, CE relies on an electric current to pull a sample through a conductive medium, causing molecules to separate based on charge and mass. Because the separation occurs inside a tiny capillary tube, though, CE can separate molecules much faster and more distinctly than traditional slab gels. CE is also much easier to automate than other forms of electrophoresis.
The minuscule size of a CE capillary originally made it hard to detect the molecules coming out the end, but highly sensitive assays have finally gotten around that problem, and CE now lies at the core of rapid nucleic acid sequencing machines and quality control protocols for protein-based drugs. Ed Horton, PhD, senior marketing manager for analytical products at Beckman Coulter Life Sciences in Indianapolis, explains that for these applications, traditional slab gels "have been replaced pretty uniformly throughout the industry with capillary electrophoresis."
In an effort to bring the technique into other areas of protein analysis, Beckman is currently developing the CESI-8000 system, which combines capillary electrophoresis with electrospray ionization for mass spectrometry (MS). Horton sees it as a natural pairing: "Capillary electrophoresis has exquisite separation capability ... but it doesn't characterize those peaks." Researchers can feed the CE output into a mass spectrometer for analysis already, but the interface between the two systems is troublesome.
Previous CE-MS connections have required wrapping the output of the CE capillary in a sheath of conductive liquid to complete the electrical circuit. This sheath flow dilutes the sample, though, drastically reducing the system's overall sensitivity. The CESI-8000's design, on the other hand, eliminates the sheath flow, allowing protein chemists to perform entirely new categories of analysis. "We really see that as being a driver for doing intact protein characterization, very high speed proteomics, things that are ... difficult if not impossible to do with current technology," says Horton.
Other equipment makers are also pushing the boundaries of CE. Agilent Technologies of Santa Clara, Calif. already offers CE systems designed to connect to the company's own mass spectrometers for a turn-key system. Meanwhile, companies such as Sebia in Norcross, Ga. continue to cater to customers who need fully automated CE systems for routine quality control testing.
Sensing structure
While CE and MS can help researchers identify proteins, studying their 3D structures requires a different set of tools: nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and X-ray crystallography. Both techniques can yield high-resolution molecular structures, but they aren't interchangeable.
"They're perfect complements," says John Cavanagh, PhD, professor of molecular and structural biochemistry at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, N.C., adding that "NMR will do the same things as X-ray, but it will do them slower and not quite as big a molecular weight, but there's also things you can do with NMR that you can't do with X-ray."
One major strength of NMR is its ability to show the dynamic changes in protein structures as the molecules float in a solution, a setting that mimics the proteins' natural environment. X-ray crystallography produces only static images of whatever conformation was capable of forming a crystal. Proteins that do crystallize well can yield X-ray structures in a few days; NMR studies can drag on for weeks.
As a NMR spectroscopist, Cavanagh has watched the technology evolve from revealing 2D structures in the 1970s to three dimensions in the 1990s. Along the way, scientists figured out how to add isotopic labels to proteins very efficiently, boosting the technique's resolution. More recently, a method called transverse relaxation optimized spectroscopy has allowed NMR to probe larger proteins.
While researchers continued to refine NMR methods, equipment makers were hard at work improving the gear. More powerful magnets and cryogenically cooled probes have increased the instruments' sensitivity while reducing noise, allowing investigators to study more complex molecules at higher resolutions. At the same time, biochemists have started to borrow NMR techniques from other areas of chemistry. "Solid-state NMR applications ... have traditionally been mostly in the materials studies, but over the last couple of years have made significant inroads also in protein analysis," says Clemens Anklin, PhD, vice president of applications at Bruker Biospin in Billerica, Mass.
As the name implies, solid-state NMR allows researchers to study proteins that aren't in solution. Anklin explains that the method is particularly good for solving the structures of membrane-bound proteins, which have been hard to study with traditional X-ray crystallography and solution NMR methods. Bruker is a major supplier of NMR equipment, and Anklin and his colleagues are keen to continue pushing the technology's limits across numerous fields. "There is almost no area of chemistry where NMR is not used," he says.
The steady stream of technological developments has also improved user-friendliness, giving a wider group of researchers access to the technique. "Ten years ago you had to be an ultraspecialist ... and I really didn't have many biochemists and molecular biologists working for me, it was all hard-core structure people," says Cavanagh, adding "now my lab is almost completely turned over to general biochemists and general molecular biologists."
Similar trends have been underway in X-ray crystallography, where improvements in automated pipetting systems and other standard laboratory tools have made it easier to set up and manage large-scale crystallization experiments. Indeed, companies such as TTP LabTech in Royston, U.K. have even introduced specialized automation platforms specifically for crystallographers.
With the recent progress in protein analysis, biochemists now find themselves confronting a new problem. "All the technologies people are implementing just generate that much more data, the throughput's gone up, and so we're all sort of being flooded by data," says Andrew Emili, PhD, professor of proteomics and bioinformatics at the University of Toronto.
Emili and his colleagues are among several groups trying to deal with the genomic and proteomic data glut. Modern computing power makes it easy to search large databases very quickly, but in biology simply identifying correlations isn't enough. "In protein-protein interaction networks [the challenge is] finding the signal in the noise. What are the relevant interactions and the nonspecific ones or artifacts in the assays that we use?" asks Emili.
To address that, the researchers are building algorithms to assign confidence scores to particular interactions, based on the known biology of the system being studied. But that raises a bootstrapping problem: without an initial set of known interactions, it's impossible to know which other interactions are real. "We need what's called a gold standard or reference set of interactions, but it turns out to be a little challenging to find a set of complexes or interactions that everyone can agree upon as being real and something that we should expect to see in our data," says Emili.
The Human Proteome Organization highlighted that problem by sending identical test samples of complex protein mixtures to multiple biochemists for analysis. The labs reached widely differing conclusions about the contents. (Bell A, et al. Nature Methods. 2009; 423-430.) "There was a lot of hair pulling and people saying 'well, these methods are all failing because they don't agree,' but in practice after looking at everyone's ... raw data and how they interpreted the raw data, it's probably all an issue of data analysis; people applied different algorithms," says Emili.
Besides settling on more reproducible data analysis techniques, Emili advocates more studies that look directly at the physical interactions of drugs and drug-like compounds with their protein targets.
Unfortunately, even with new equipment and strategies, protein analysis is likely to remain difficult. As Emili explains, "there's a lot of emphasis now on high-performance instruments and somehow that will lead to more reliable information, but knowledge extraction from large-scale data sets—even if you used the most high-performance instrument—I don't think it's any easier."

By: Jenée Desmond-Harris Posted: Aug. 30 2011 12:29 PM 0 Solange Knowles was denied entry into Miami Beach's Club Cameo when she tried to bring a 5-foot inflatable banana into the venue, and she had a confrontation with police officers that she attributes to racial discrimination, the Miami Herald reports. When Knowles was bounced at the door, she became hostile, according to the Miami Beach Police Department. Authorities said an off-duty police officer working at the Cameo took Knowles across the street. There, she says, an officer pulled out a knife and threatened to deflate the banana. Her Twitter feed from the evening, as reported by the Miami Herald, tells her side of the story: "I have literally had my last leg with discriminating police! Miami police department will be notified," she first tweeted. "A police officer just pulled a weapon on me.... I have done NOTHING illegal, against the law, or anything of the sort." "I'm only tweeting this to raise awareness. I could have left quietly, but I am sick & tired of this scenario being played over & over again," she wrote. "It is time to do something about it. I am a mother raising a young black child in America. Im going to die trying!" The police department is conducting an internal investigation into the incident. While the starring role that the banana plays in this narrative makes the story sound pretty silly, we shouldn't be too quick to dismiss Knowles' experience without a full understanding of the facts. After all, the relationship between law-enforcement officers and the black community is no laughing matter -- even when the allegations first come through Twitter, and even when inflatable fruit is involved.

There are several ways to make dollars online if 1 is prepared to devote a ton of time and power in several arenas. On the net ventures are not easy avenues towards rapid income. Operating from house eliminates individuals from controlled wages and several hours. The freedom of working easily and independently comes at the cost of being paid for time invested in a undertaking. On the internet personnel are compensated entirely based on the get the job done they make. This implies that any individual who decides to pursue on the internet employment basically turns into a freelancer. He need to be consistently motivated how to make money to switch out a substantial quantity of high quality function in a quite small span of time.
The least difficult way to function on the internet is to fill out surveys. Firms pay out survey brokers to accumulate consumer evaluations of goods and solutions. Sometimes some of that cash is passed on to the individuals who get the surveys. Taking surveys does not pay out quite effectively, however. It is unusual to make far more than $1 for each hour, and the operate is not steady ample for survey takers to be capable to depend on frequently generating even that waystomakemoneyonline0281.com a lot money. Several study organizations do not pay their study takers in income. They offer prize bonuses as an alternative. They have also been identified to mysteriously delete people's accounts once they become qualified for huge prizes. The huge majority of survey organizations do not adhere to authentic enterprise procedures. A person wishing to make funds getting surveys should do investigation prior to functioning with one of these businesses.
Look engines spend contractors to answer issues in authentic time. The contractor logs in by way of a world wide web portal and receives queries that individuals mail in via text make money fast message. The contractor does the needed investigation and sends back again the right solution. The companies at the rear of these research engines are typically legitimate and pay out their contractors in money. However, it is extremely hard to make a residing wage this way. A contractor will only make a few cents each and every time he solutions a question, and each question generally takes a whole moment to solution. Like the study brokers, look engine organizations are identified for unceremoniously firing loyal personnel seemingly for no purpose. They are permitted to keep the income that is waystomakemoneyfast7100.com owed to their contractors simply because of loopholes in state employment regulations.
Artists and crafters with considerable regional followings are capable to make a great bargain of money by opening online outlets. There is a big industry for cheap modern day artwork. Moderately priced prints in good frames are trustworthy dollars-makers, as are handcrafted clothes and jewellery. Not much is lost if the artist fails to sell any of his function. Many market place websites only cost smaller fees to preserve objects outlined right up until somebody purchases them.
Running a blog can produce a lot of income if the ways to make money fast blogger normally takes a intelligent technique to his site. He must update at minimum when a day to construct a steady readership and create trustworthiness. Once he feels that he has a strong readership, he can location advertising and marketing banners on his web site. Advertisement providers make repayments primarily based on the number of distinctive sights the web page gets and how several of all those site visitors click on the banners. Someone who desires to make funds from advertising and marketing wants to be positive that he can develop everyday content, whether or not it be written content articles, photos or films.
