Less is more, even on Facebook. Broadcast less, engage more: Increase the quality of your fan-base using quality content: post and share interesting, engaging material that is relevant to your audience. Be useful; be generous. Then measure, test and measure again to extend your organic and paid reach.
Show, don't tell! Instagram's a great channel to drive brand awareness, facilitate 1-on-1 engagement, and to create a sense of community around your traditional off-line events. Oh, and it's a rich vein of local and interest-based visual content to recycle under your own brand (with attribution of course).
Your professional touch-point online. Create an accurate profile and maintain it with regular updates. Only accept (and extend) genuine invitations to build your professional and industry network. Link your profile to LinkedIn Company and University pages where appropriate. Be authentic; be scrupulously honest.
You can never have too much video. Create your own branded YouTube video library. Integrate online videos with your existing marketing or communications mix; stream through your social media channels. Action!
Nobody knows your business – or industry sector – the same way you do. Position yourself as an authority on your subject through blogging. Understand why a blog should be the centrepiece of your social media strategy - and why long-form writing is such a valued online skill. You're the expert.
Social Media Hashtags, Handles, Mentions, Tags & Geotags
What the hey? Don't worry, we'll get these straightened out for you.
Website a bit of a clunker? Content-poor… tricky to navigate? Fix it. Your website is the centre of your online universe. Position your core online branded presence as a strong and credible touch-point before branching out. Website first; social media second.
Content Management Systems (CMS)
DIY CMS. Manage your own website content without technical or coding experience. Yes, you can. Publish directly, quickly and often.
Organic Search
Crank up your Google search results by optimising your website for organic search. Begin by understanding the informational needs of smaller, high-value segments within your overall market, and then publish to them.
Google Analytics
Measure up: Gauge the effectiveness of your website to attract and convert traffic from all your conversion paths using free Google Analytics.
First: Educate; Second: Sell.
I went online to find out how sundials worked. I came away with a Rolex.
Position yourself (your organisation) as the authority in your industry sector. Continue to boost the credibility of your value propositions by layering non-sales related material throughout your website and social content. It may seem counter-intuitive, but if you want to sell, sometimes you've got to give stuff away. Make it knowledge, and give generously.

New blog on design issues
Anders Branderud asks me to publicize his blog here. He tackles the question of science and causes (of events).
I am glad he does, because many of us are tired of fake rabbits pulled out of Darwin's hat.
Every weekend paper advises me that I can understand my neighbours better by considering what Fred and Wilma Flintstone must have been like. So if my neighbour a few doors down lost his job at the plant and is now drinking heavily and beating his wife, life in the Old Stone Age explains it totally.
No, I don't think so. Nor do I want to pay for that type of "evolutionary psychology" research any more.
If my neighbour wasn't attacking his wife before he lost his job, I am pretty sure we can find the answers we need in the present day - in the last few months, probably.

Kirei didn't really do anything in Episode 8. It was a curbstomp fight. He was stronger, faster, and had knives. Elbow, stomp, break a tree. No real technique shown. 26 is what woke me up and said, "Wow, this guy is for real." The blocking, the deflecting, the precision of his strikes, they all came together in that scene. It didn't register to me that he was a true threat on his own up until that scene showing us a summation of everything he had at his disposal. This includes the command spells nullifying the effect of Kiritsugu's bullets.
That was probably the only good fight in the series, to be honest...

While I have not been exposed to Type Moon works before I watched this a few months ago, Fate/Zero was very enjoyable to me and it's not something you would need to watch/play Fate/Stay Night to understand.
The show is beautifully animated with it's fights and backgrounds and the characters (whether it be the masters or servants) all have unique powers to their disposal which makes things interesting; especially with some of the tactful masters.
Fights to the death was not the only interesting part of the show however as Fate/Zero has an interesting story with some well executed themes and depth with each character having their own interesting view point that it makes you think whether or not what the character did was right or not; such the point with Kiritsugi later in the story. This all makes it all better as Fate/Zero is just not some cheesy shonen fight show as it offers much more than just pretty visuals.
and now to the characters! While they may not be the nicest of people, the masters in the story are all quite entertaining for their own points (Though to be honest, I did find Kokoimi to be a bit boring). Kirei and Kiritsugi both have to be my favorite masters as Kiritsugi had a strong belief in his goal and it was great to see him go to great lengths to achieve those. Kirei starts off as more of a "puppet" than anything but quickly begins to have his own desires which made for a great turn in the story later.
The servants are all fun as well as they are each reincarnations or famous figures of the past, such as Alexander the Great who's part of the Rider Class in Fate/Zero. Not to sound repetitve, but as said, they all have their own interesting abilities and it's neat to see them bounce off of each other, whether it be servants to servants in where both of them were kings, or to master and servant, such as Rider and Waver who were my favorite partners of the two.
Now what are some of my complaints? Exposition could have been handled it better as it could be a problem at times and some of the scenes in the show felt a little too forced, especially in the latter half which could make it a little hard to take seriously.

I just finished Fate/Zero and I thought it was a well done anime. The back story to Kiritsugu was great and I was blown away that Illya is his daughter. While there wasn't really much that could do during the finale, I enjoyed how the finale ended where Shirou says he wants to be a hero and realize Kiritsugu's dream. I doubt there would be another season added to this anime, but if there was I would definitely watch it.

Edit: From another thread it seems like you already have played/read Fate/Stay Night. Than why didn't you know Illya was Kiritsugu daughter? It is revealed in the Heaven's Feel arc.

Oh well, I want to say something about Fate/Zero because I just need to.
I already watched Fate/Stay Night when I saw Fate/Zero and I really feel like those two series don't really come well together. The first show is entertaining but by the first half does a mediocre job with all the elements, characters and back-story that the thing should use. The story goes in a predictable way, we all knew who was going to win the Holy Grail and when give a nice twist by the end the overall impression was good but nothing really spectacular or out of the typical shonen formula. Not to mention Shirou Emiya in that story is one of the weirdest and stupidest protagonist I have ever seen. And yes I have play the actual game, is just a little better there.
Fate/Zero on the other hand is just a lot much better. Does a good job of picture the scene of a battle royal to the death between the seven teams of Masters and Servants and while some characters did get a lot of screen time and focus over others, each one of them was made really well. Combine good characters with a clear setting that has them working towards a goal while still manage to deliver some intricate setting and rules without confusing you too much, and you have a good anime in your hands.
The story is more mature than the one in Fate/Stay Night. Characters act smart and move toward to get their goals without just sitting around and wait for the other villains to get over so they can jump in the scene. Everything here fits a good spot and while some Servants like Rider really steal the show when they are on camera almost all characters have a good presentation. Except for Assassin which I still consider the Servant that gets more the shaft in all the Fate stories I read so far. Yes even more than Lancer.
Overall Fate/Zero has been one of my favorite series of all time if then introduce some plot elements that are never explore on its "sequel" and the ending was kind of a letdown because I already knew what was going to happen. Also the fact that some Masters and Servants just die in a miserable way doesn't help it much. But is good, well made, full of action, brains and soul that should never be ignored. I give the series a 9

Second exposure to the Fate universe after Extra. Loved it, started out good, had me by the throat until the end, ending left me broken.
Animation: 10/10, best 3d depiction of vehicles I've ever seen.
Music: 7/10, some good stuff, some decent, some forgettable, LOVE Season 1's ED. Season 2's kind of sucked in comparison.
Characters: 9/10, driving force. The only downside is well, what happens to some of them.
Story: 10/10, handled everyone equally well, no one character felt neglected, they all got equal treatment, and it was hard to say if anyone was a protagonist or antagonist, which is a trademark of great writing.
I am playing(that means not watching the anime) Fate/Stay Night the MOMENT I finish Steins;Gate. Can't wait.

one of the best animes i've ever seen
there are some minor 'glitches' in the plot though
but i wish there would be a season 3, the fact that an outsider was involved in the fight, makes me want to know what happened if the series continued

Continuing Fate/Zero would make absolutely no sense. The Grail War is over, there's nothing more to show until you get to FSN, which has been made already.

Really an awesome series.
The graphics were really impressive (I saw KnK and FZ in a row, so was really impressed with the animation job), the music awesome.
The story was quite awesome as well, and nearly touched me emotionally at the end.
Can't wait for the FSN/HF remake.

I just loved Waver Velvet throughout the series. From the start he knew he was probably going to be in way over his head, but somehow his pride prevented him from backing out, and he ended up seeing the whole thing through. Now that's real courage if I've ever seen any.

Remember the Archer Vs Berserker fight, Caster vs others fight, and Saber vs Berserker fight
that's easily become one of my most favorite battle scenes ever in anime series
I love shiny things...
Voice Actors: 9
It's not very hard to be Fate/Zero VA actually... you only need more stoic voices... since most of them talked in emotionless expression (Maiya, Kiritsugu, Tokiomi, Kirei, etc). Although the voice actors managed to picture despairing scene very well... every screams are done pretty good
Script: 12/10
Best!!! as expected from Urobuchi Gen.... Blood, Ghouls, Despair, Murder.. Everything is hereeee
being in Fate/Zero means you have a dark past and background (except Waver maybe)
The script leave nothing else to be explained about....
(although I still don't understand about Angra Maiyu stuff.. and why the Grail is like that)
Soundtrack: 10
I'm Yuki Kajiura's fanboy.... OP and ED are the best!!! My favorites ever
Enjoyment: 10
Enjoyed this anime very well... So many unexpected things occurred and I never predict that. That what I loved from this anime... Although a dark setting anime like F/Z is bad for my heart.. hahaha (I can't withstand blood)
Emotional Involvement: 1-10
ummm yeah... I have to be honest... I leave this anime for a year because I was too shocked about zombie stuffs in ep 18/19....
I think I watched this anime in different way than other anime.... I got too absorbed.. then I feel despair
Yes!!! This anime is twisting my emotion in perfect way... putting it in roller-coaster mode but always in dark mode
(I still don't know how to explain how I enjoy this anime very much)
best anime 2012... and obviously one of my best anime ever
too bad that I finished it in 2013

To me, Fate/Zero can simply be described as "a battle between adults" compared to Fate/stay night which focused more on the ideals of Shirou Emiya. Unlike the Masters of the F/SN Grail War, the Masters in Zero are ruthless, seeing only death towards each other as competitors as the viable method. Ironically, wanting to take away bloodshed was the reason that motivated Kiritsugu throughout his career as a Master, and we all saw how bad he screwed up.
I am personally not a fan of Gen Urobuchi's works because it sways too hard in favor of despair. This might also be the last time I'd pick up any media from the Fate franchise. The world itself where battles between heroic figures of history seems interesting, but the inner workings of each Grail War doesn't seem up my alley. Perhaps, I might pick up Prisma Illya and Carnival Phantasm, but that's still up in the air.
In a nutshell, Fate/Zero's great, but maybe I'm not that interested in anything Fate after all.

As the youngest player to represent her country at the 2013 FINA Women's Junior World Championship, Laguna Beach High junior Makenzie Fischer was thrilled just to be a member of the team that ventured to Volos, Greece, to take on the world this summer.
The Breakers all-CIF standout's experience ultimately went from "happy to be here" to something different altogether, however, as Fischer helped the USA Water Polo Women's Junior National Team capture the gold medal in an undefeated run that culminated with a 9-7 win over Spain on Aug. 25.
"It was amazing. It was a great feeling standing on the podium with all my teammates," said Fischer, who was the lone high school player on the team that went 3-0 in pool play before defeating Hungary, 12-10, in the quarterfinals and Greece, 10-3, in the semifinals.
"I knew we were going to be good because there were such amazing players on my team. We didn't have that much time to come together before the tournament, but luckily our team got along great and we were very successful," she said. "It was definitely very exciting."
The gold medal marks the third FINA Junior World Championship for the USA women. The team also achieved titles in 2001 and 2005.
In the gold-medal match, Team USA took a 2-1 lead into the second quarter, when it notched three straight goals. Fischer scored with just seven seconds left to give Team USA a 6-2 halftime lead.
Spain battled back, scoring three straight goals to open the second half and get to within 6-5 with 5:19 left in the third quarter and trailed, 7-6, with 5:32 left in the match.
The United States then scored two straight goals to put the match away with less than three minutes left.
Fischer, who scored 99 goals to notch Orange Coast League MVP, CIF-SS Division 1 and All-County first-team honors in her sophomore season at Laguna Beach, finished the tournament with four goals.
"The highlight for me was learning from all the amazing players on the team and getting to know them," Fischer said. "I would definitely do it again; it was a very good experience."

"I started thinking about acquiring Biophilia when it was released, in 2011. At that time, a year after the iPad had been introduced, designers and developers were excitedly experimenting with apps that took advantage of a screen bigger than the iPhone. With Biophilia however, Björk truly innovated the way people experience music by letting them participate in performing and making the music and visuals, rather than just listening passively."

There are ways of using the computer screen just as a pure light abstraction, movement, color – a new art form.

Big Rapids, Mich. - The Ferris State University softball team wrapped up day two action at the Florida Rebel Spring Games Tournament on Sunday (March 4) with a 2-0 setback to nationally 12th-ranked C.W. Post (N.Y.) at Kissimmee, Fla.
The Bulldogs dropped to 1-3 overall with the loss. All three losses have either came by two runs or in extra innings. FSU stranded 13 runners on base against C.W. Post.
FSU's Dana Bowler took the loss after pitching all seven innings. She gave up four hits, two earned runs while hurling four strikeouts and walking two.
C.W. Post scored once in the fifth and once in the seventh to account for the scoring with both runs coming off of doubles.
Morgan Kramerich led FSU at the plate with a two-of-four showing. Stephanie Dusendang doubled for the Bulldogs while Amy Dunleavey and Michelle Tononi both produced a hit as well.
Ferris State returns to action on Monday (March 5) as the Bulldogs continue competition in the Florida Rebel Spring Games. The Bulldogs face Wheeling Jesuit (W.Va.) at 3 p.m. (ET). Additionally, FSU will also play St. Cloud State at 5 p.m. (ET).

England women secure pay increase
The England women's football team have secured a £4,000 per year pay rise following negotiations with the national body.
The deal also includes an increase in the number of hours the players can work in second jobs to 24 per week.
Many of the players supplement their income by coaching in the communities and promoting women's football in schools and colleges. Everton and England international Jill Scott works part-time recruiting and coaching young players for Gateshead's women's football academy.
It is understood that the players are happy with the agreement that has been reached, after PFA chief Gordon Taylor labelled the previous package as "embarrassing".
The deal was reached as the England squad set off to La Manga for warm-weather training in preparation for the 2013 season, which sees the national team competing in the European Championships in Sweden this summer.
An unbeaten record in qualification saw England rise to sixth in the FIFA rankings, their highest ever placing. However, manager Hope Powell is refusing to allow any complacency to set in. Speaking to UEFA.com, she said: "We have to recognise that while we think we have progressed, undoubtedly so has everyone else. So one thing we can be sure of is that the Euros will be a tough and very challenging tournament.
"In 2009 we managed to get to the final and our ambition is to continue to get better and getting better would be to get in the final again. So we wait and see."
During their trip to Spain, the England side have already played out a 1-1 draw against Switzerland, with a strike from Birmingham City's Laura Bassett enough to earn a share of the spoils.
Next up are Spain, who ended Scotland's hopes of making Euro 2013 when they beat them in the play-offs. As Spain are in England's group for the European Championships in July, this will be a good opportunity for the team and management to have a look at their summer opponents.
Russia and the highly-rated France are the other two sides in England's European Championship group with all of the group matches to be played in Linkoping.
Following their visit to Spain, England will take part in the annual Cyprus Cup where they will play games against New Zealand, Italy and Scotland in March.

Quality Education for All Children? What Works in Education in Developing Countries (Working Paper)
Download full working paper: English
Download brief: English
In this working paper, Shari Krishnaratne, Howard White and Ella Carpenter analyse the evidence from 75 studies of a range of school interventions.
The paper shows that education interventions are not only getting more children into school and keeping them there but are also helping children to learn more. There is compelling evidence of the effectiveness of conditional cash transfers on school enrolment and attendance. Health interventions also had a significant, positive impact on school attendance. While the provision of new teachingmaterials had no impact on school attendance or language test scores, computer-assisted learning tools had significant, positive impacts on maths test scores. And providing better school buildings significantly improved maths, reading and writing test scores.
Quality education for all children? What works in education in developing countries is based on the 3ie-funded study by Anthony Petrosino and colleagues (2012) entitled Interventions in developing nations for improving primary and secondary enrolment of children, plus additional studies identified in a supplementary search. In the working paper, the authors present a new categorisation of supply-and demand-side interventions, drawing out lessons about the effectiveness of each intervention.

Now available!
Thank you for visiting my author page!
Here you will find information about everything I have in publication and what I'm working on now. My genres include Young Adult Paranormal Fiction, Adult Paranormal Fiction and Romance.
Because I can't resist, I will also try to frequently blog a favorite quote from one of the many, many books I've read. Some days they'll be funny, others, hopefully, thought provoking.
Below are links to the first chapters of each of my books in publication.

What do you guys think the best humbuckers are for the blues?
Also, another question. Does anyone know what kind of humbuckers Robben Ford uses?
rustyslide wrote:re: PAFs: There's no one PAF. They were all different and some of them are even purported to sound bad.
I like my humbuckers low output.
ricbleu wrote: I like low output h/buckers as well because from what I understand, the higher the resistance (the hotter the p/up) the more treble frequencies you lose.
ricbleu wrote:I wonder how much time Robert Johnson spent setting up his guitar.
TheDude wrote:The neck pickup's put in backwards, so you get that sweet honking Peter Green sound in the middle position. I really, really love the tone of those pups in that guitar.
ricochet wrote:They'd rather maintain an aura of mysticism, that there's some special "mojo" to what's really a very simple, totally generic electromagnetic device.
ricochet wrote:Secret sauce = duck diarrhea. If the numbers are all equal, so is the sound. We're just talking about solenoids and magnets.
TheDude wrote:I agree tone is mostly in your fingers... And between your ears. Which explains why one day I'll sound fantastic and the next day I'll sound like crap with the exact same gear set-up.
As for humbuckers I got some made in Korea Wilkinson premium series PAFs in my Vintage Lemondrop LP that are supposedly part-for-part and wire-for-wire copies of the original PAFs. The neck pickup's put in backwards, so you get that sweet honking Peter Green sound in the middle position. I really, really love the tone of those pups in that guitar. I would rate them higher than my mate's Gibson Classic 57s. And definitely higher than some Seymour Duncan's I've played.

Art exhibit to feature husband and wife illustrators
PLAINVIEW - Vivid colors and comical cows will share the space in Wayland Baptist University's Abraham Art Gallery for the newest exhibit featuring the best of work by children's book illustrators Ted and Betsy Lewin.
Composed primarily of watercolor works, the exhibit features 78 illustrations from several books the Lewins have collaborated on - including Peppe the Lamplighter, written by Elisa Bartone and illustrated by Ted, and Giggle, Giggle, Quack, written by Doreen Cronin and illustrated by Betsy - and a few they even wrote, such as Red Legs: A Drummer Boy of the Civil War, written and illustrated by Ted. The two collaborated artistically on Gorilla Walk and Elephant Quest, presenting work from the couple's many safaris.
The couple has been honored for their work, with Peppe named a Caldecott Honor Book in 1994 and Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type (written by Cronin) named a Caldecott Honor Book in 2001. The Caldecott Medal (and honors for other outstanding books) is awarded annually by the Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association, to the artist of the most distinguished American picture book for children.
Ted Lewin has illustrated more than 70 books and his biographical book I Was A Teenage Professional Wrestler earned citations from the Booklist Editor's Choice List and the School Library Journal Best Books and the ALA Notable Book. A graduate of Pratt Institute of Art, he was influenced by the works of N.C. Wyeth, Winslow Homer and John Singer Sargent, and his predominant medium is realistic, detailed watercolor.
With more than 50 books for children under her belt, Betsy Lewin displays a style very different from her husband's but equally admired by young readers. Also a graduate of the Pratt Institute, Lewin is noted for her lively, comic whimsy that characterizes her work, and she found influence from the works of Beatrix Potter, James Stevenson and Quentin Blake.
The exhibit is organized by the National Center for Children's Illustrated Literature and is funded in part by the Texas Commission on the Arts. The exhibit at Wayland is free to the public during regular gallery hours.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger feels his side's 4-1 FA Cup win over Everton will provide a mental boost ahead of the trip to Bayern Munich.
Wenger's men cruised into the last four of the Cup with a comfortable victory against Roberto Martinez's team, as a double from Olivier Giroud and goals from Mesut Ozil and Mikel Arteta secured progress.
100/1 Arsenal are 100/1 with William Hill to win the Champions League
The London club travel to the Allianz Arena on Tuesday for the second leg of their Champions League last 16-tie with a 2-0 deficit from the first leg.
Arsenal face a difficult challenge to progress to the quarter-finals, although they did earn a 2-0 second leg success at holders Bayern at the same stage last season, only to suffer elimination on the away goals rule.
And Wenger believes can take confidence into the midweek clash following Saturday's performance.
"It was important of course for us to win today to put us on a psychological front in a good mind and we can be inspired by our focus, by our desire and go to Bayern with the same spirit," the Frenchman said.
"The statistics go against us at Bayern but let's make sure the performance goes for us, then we have a chance."
Arsenal have beaten Tottenham, Liverpool and Everton on their way to the semi-finals of the FA Cup, wins that Wenger insists reflect their appetite for winning the trophy.
"We have had a good draw in the fact that every game has been it at home but we played," Wenger added. "On the other hand, some difficult opponents - Tottenham, Liverpool, Everton.
"That shows you we have taken this competition seriously."

My Life as a Refugee Shows How the Other Half Lives
Posted by Jordan Minor on July 2nd, 2012
+ Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad
Thanks to advancements in technology, transportation, and communication, globalization is bringing the world's populations closer together at an accelerating rate. As this continues though, it is important for us to stay aware of the hardships of those in places where safety is not guaranteed. UNHCR, the United Nations refugee agency, hopes to bring these struggles to light with My Life as a Refugee.
The game casts players as one of three refugees hoping to escape from any number of war-torn countries. As they attempt to find freedom they will be presented with the kinds of dilemmas facing actual refugees. How will they protect their families? What will they do if the smugglers become violent? Will they give up if they are caught by the army after coming so far? Through this virtual journey, players will start to understand why millions of people are so desperate to run, survive, and restart their lives.
"Every minute eight people are force to flee. What would you do?" My Life as a Refugee is available now for free on the App Store.

The exhibition 'Out of this World - Wonders of the Solar System', presented by the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) and Gasometer Oberhausen GmbH, has been extended until 30 December 2010. More than 300,000 visitors have so far experienced the wonders on show. Following the enormous success of the exhibition, it has been named as a project of RUHR.2010, the European Capital of Culture 2010.
Fascinating pictures of alien worlds and 'the largest moon on Earth'
The 'Out of this World' exhibition shows our Solar System as a huge process of growth and decay and takes visitors on a journey into the cosmos. The highlight is the 25-metre diameter 'largest moon on Earth', which can be seen suspended under the Gasometer's 100-metre high roof. Spectacular reproductions of our planetary system, fascinating images of alien worlds, precious historical instruments and modern space research technology show the audience the drama of the birth and the development of the Solar System. The displays connect scientific, cultural and historical points of view.

(Click for video linked to a searchable transcript of this Mad Money segment)
IPOs can be the most intriguing part of the market. But if you don't know what you're doing, they can also be the most dangerous. With the IPO's of Noodles & Company, Gigamon, ChannelAdvisor and others grabbing headlines, Cramer thought this would be a good time to lay out what you absolutely must know about a company before buying its initial public offering.
"The first and most important thing I look for with an IPO is the company's pedigree," Cramer said. "Who are the executives?"
Sometimes that can be a difficult question to answer. "Back when Google went public you probably would have avoided its IPO like the plague. I mean think about it, who the heck were Larry Page and Sergey Brin?" This is a case where doing due diligence and learning about the leadership is critically important.
