Social Report makes it seamless to append tracking data to the links you post. All you need to do is to identify which domains you want us to include UTM codes for -- i.e. you want to do this for your own domains, not for domains of other people's websites (learn more about UTM codes here).
With our URL tracking functionality, any time you publish we will automatically generate the relevant URL parameters, instead of requiring you to use a URL Builder to generate rich destination URLs each time.
How to enable URL tracking:
- Go to Project Settings:
2. Go to URL Tracking and add your domain:
Domain - Social Report will only add UTM codes to the domain that you specify here. Note that this is the only required field, we recommend the other fields left empty since we will auto generate it for you.
- Note that if you enter yourdomain.com, it will match all subdomains. If you want to tag www.yourdomain.com and nothing else - you should enter the domain as www.yourdomain.com.
Campaign Name (utm_campaign) - will default to the name of the content group (learn more about content groups).
Campaign Source (utm_source) - will default to the name of your social profile (i.e. 'twitter', 'facebook').
Campaign Medium (utm_medium) - defaults to 'social'
URL Tracking Report in Social Report
Important: You can only access this if you have Google Analytics connected to the project.
Once you start URL tracking in Social Report, you can get a detailed report on which posts and which profiles are delivering you the most traffic to your website.
Go to Publishing > Content Performance > URL Tracking:
You can even drill down further by clicking on specific posts and figuring out how many sessions (page visits) each post delivered:
Exporting the Report
To generate the URL tracking report into a PDF format, go to Reports > Export > PDF Report > Select Report: Publication Performance > Select report options: URL Tracking. Note that all items are ticked by default, simply untick the ones you want excluded in the report.
Setting up URL Tracking is super simple and important to be able to connect your social efforts with performance and impact they have on your web presence. This will help you better understand what drives traffic to your website and what keeps users on it. This will also help you separate your paid activity from your organic work.

Is there any greater source of uncertainty than the meaning of life? It is a philosophical and spiritual question that has stumped humanity's greatest minds for centuries, yet the late English author Douglas Adams presented us with the simple, yet rather ridiculous, answer of '42'.
The number's origin is explained in Adams' 1979 novel The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which tells the story of a giant computer tasked to calculate the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. However, the computer explains that its answer is inexplicable because the programmers didn't actually know what they were asking.
In order to avoid the same frustrating outcome, gbtimes phoned Nicholas Joll, an English philosopher and editor of Philosophy and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, to hear his professional opinion on the meaning of '42', as well as the reality created by Adams' brilliant imagination.
The Ultimate Question
"I haven't spent enough time thinking about what I think the meaning of life is, but I have certainly spent a lot of time investigating Adams' ideas on the subject," begins Joll, a man armed with a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Essex. "Well, partly it's just a joke, of course. '42' is meant to be an absurd answer to the 'Ultimate Question', but what's philosophical about this?"
It might surprise you but you have already started to philosophize by simply thinking about why a number is a silly answer to a question about the meaning of life. As for Adams' particular take, Joll believes that the late author saw no meaning to life in the sense of a purpose built into the universe. However, the lack of a cosmic purpose doesn't make life meaningless.
"We shouldn't all, on hearing this, kill ourselves," Joll quickly interjects with a laugh. "The reason is that the wonders of the natural world—and I also include the joys of human life, like love and friendship and so forth—make life worth living, even in the absence of some kind of cosmic underwriting."
While '42' could dominate discussion of Adams' work, Joll has compiled a long list of philosophical topics found within Hitchhikers. His list includes Marvin the Paranoid Android and questions about AI, the Vogons' strange attitude to art and beauty, as well as thoughts about immortality thanks to Wowbagger, the Infinitely Prolonged, who is destined to live forever and isn't too pleased about it. Hitchhiker's also expounds the philosophy of the towel.
Critical, probing, analytical
In the years since the 2012 release of Philosophy and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, its author Nicholas Joll has discovered that many professional philosophers not only have an interest in the Hitchhikers Guide but a few had even been spurred to do philosophy because of it. Therefore, it is even more surprising that nobody had thought to combine the two subjects in a single book before.
"Shortly after I had finished my doctorate, I came across the phenomenon of "Philosophy and…" books, such as Philosophy and The Matrix and Philosophy and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, that aim to get a general audience do some philosophy via things in popular culture. I was excited because I thought surely there had to be a Philosophy and Hitchhikers… but there wasn't one," recalls Joll with disbelief.
Driven by the fact that Hitchhikers is 'so clever, funny and philosophical', Joll found a willing publisher and finally filled the hole in the "Philosophy and…" market, as well as opening his eyes to the point of popularizing philosophy. "Previously, nothing I had written had jokes in it. It's great to write something that engages the reader by being humorous—admittedly, a lot of time I just used Douglas Adams' jokes, which are funnier than anything I can come up with."
Joll is eager to get more people reading philosophy and doing philosophy for a variety of reasons, starting with the fact that it helps them do something they do already: think about the big questions. "Everyone thinks about the point of their life, about what's right and what's wrong, and some people will even think what is this whole right and wrong business anyway."
"Philosophy also helps people to be critical, probing, analytical," continues Joll. "In some ways it's the best discipline for improving those sorts of critical analytical skills. We get fed a lot of nonsense by politicians, the media, other people and it's important to be able to recognize the nonsense. Philosophy helps with that, although, of course, some philosophy is nonsense as well."

A Barmby Moor business is proving to be just the tonic for the region's gin drinkers.
The Hooting Owl Distillery, at the historic Barmby Moor House, takes its inspiration from the four corners of Yorkshire to create a top quality range of products.
The company's base is a historic coaching inn where horses would be changed after the gallop from York through "The Black Moor" (the old name for the moor running East of York on The Beverly Road).
It is reputed that Queen Victoria stopped over at the house as a child, and indeed to this day the master bedroom is known as The Queen's Room.
The house has had a varied history from being a coaching inn, a public house (The Bunch of Grapes) and a Country House Hotel, it is now a family home, with the Hooting Owl Distillery situated in the old stables.
The company distills six different gins in the London dry style at the site.
They each have a different number of botanicals from 16 in the Signature Gin to as many as 23 in the East Yorkshire Gin offering.
Its Signature Gin 42% ABV is an old fashioned London dry gin, extremely smooth due to the unique distilling process.
The Veterans gin (48% ABV) is a stronger version of the Signature gin, again smooth and can be enjoyed neat over ice.
Hooting Owl also produces a gin for each point of the Yorkshire compass – using botanicals that point towards the geography, culture and culinary history of that part of our county, as well as a little bit of military and family history.
It uses botanicals from the scene of Yorkshire Regiment Battle Honours, e.g. Black Cardamom from Kohima, Mountain Ash as a nod back to the vicar of Barmby Moor in the late 19th century who was posted to Mountain Ash in Glamorgan. The Yorkshire gins are inspired by:
○ North Yorkshire – Bilberry, heather and thyme from the North Yorkshire Moors.
○ East Yorkshire – Kelp for the coast, hawthorn berries as a nod to the famous Hawthorne in Bloom painting by David Hockney, lavender and honey (summer on the Wolds).
○ South Yorkshire – The Barnsley chop, so Rosemary and Mint.
○ West Yorkshire – Cardamom, cumin, coriander and turmeric (a curry in a glass), gorgeous when served with a slice of red grapefruit and a star anise.
Hooting Owl owner Dominic M'Benga said: "What makes us different from other small craft distilleries is our unique distilling process and the multiple small batches that we produce. Each batch of our gin is only 30 bottles, we are able to produce 20 of these batches per day.
"The name of the distillery is a further nod back to the house and the golden owl which sits above the entrance to the house. He has been named as Sir Owlfred Tyton Hodgins by our customers.
"We see one of our responsibilities as small craft distillers is to educate people on the art of craft distilling and the history of gin. I think that the trade is becoming more knowledgeable. We help with that knowledge by offering gin experiences for all our customers. We try to educate them on the different types of gin, the distilling process, the taste, the smell and the feel of a quality gin (mouth feel and finger feel, rub between forefinger and thumb to feel the oils within the spirit).
"We operate six stills, our 60 litre still is called Molly after the distillery cat that sadly passed away last summer, our 30 litre stills (four) also have ladies/botanical names June (juniper), Heather, Rosemary and Saffron. Our small development still is nameless – the still with no name.
"We currently pair food at our gin events, with beef in Yorkshire pudding with our North Yorkshire, Haddock Goujons with our East Yorkshire, a lamb dish with our south Yorkshire and devilled chicken thighs with our West Yorkshire. The Cats Pyjamas in York serve our West Yorkshire with Chilli Garnish, spicy and delicious.
"As a craft distiller I am a bit uncomfortable with the gin liqueur thing happening at the moment, our answer has been to manufacture some pairing syrups. For example we have a lavender syrup that we serve with our East Yorkshire Gin if customers are looking for a sweeter drink."

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- J.P. Morgan analyst Mark Moskowitz on Thursday reiterated his overweight rating on Apple Inc. AAPL, +2.93% after Steve Jobs stepped down as chief executive officer of the bellwether technology company. "While the news could weigh on shares in the near term, we think the company's model is built to last, sustaining a 'digital way of life' that other industry participants have yet to rival," Moskowitz said in a note to clients. Apple's discounted stock valuation has been anticipating a CEO change, he said. The Jobs news is expected to create "an attractive entry point" for the stock, Moskowitz said. Apple shares fell 2.8% in pre-market trades on Thursday.

In the city that will stage curling at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, China's men earned a place in tomorrow's final at the Curling World Cup Grand Final in astonishing fashion.
Team Zou Qiang of China qualified after snatching a dramatic 4-3 victory over Team Matt Dunstone – Canada 1 – in their final round robin match in front of a packed home crowd at Shougang Arena.
They will now meet Canada 2 – skipped by Kevin Koe.
Earlier in the day, the Chinese quartet had given themselves an outside chance of progressing by defeating the United States' Olympic champions, Team John Shuster, 6-3.
As well as needing to win their final game, China also required Sweden's world champions, whom Canada 1 had beaten 4-3 in the morning session, to lose again in their final round robin game against the United States.
The US beat Sweden 6-4.
"We always had hope," said China's national coach Mike Harris.
"After we got off to a good start beating Sweden, we kept calm and did a really good job to stay within themselves.
"If you had told them two weeks ago they would be in the final, they would need convincing.
"The crowd were fantastic at the end."
Canada's Team Kevin Koe produced an equally dramatic, if less loudly celebrated feat on a day when they needed to win both their matches to have a chance of going for gold.
They beat Norway, skipped by Thomas Ulsrud, 4-3 in the morning, and then defeated Scotland 7-6.
On the topic of playing the hosts in the final, Koe said: "It's great for China and their country, as well as curling.
"They are playing well with such a tough pool and they beat everybody in it.
"It will be a really nice to finish the year with a massive win.
"If we get off to a good start through four, I really like our chances of making the key shots.
"The Curling World Cup has been awesome with great fields, venues and lots of money."
Despite losing both their games in the women's event on day four, Canada – Team Jennifer Jones – and world champions Switzerland – Team Silvana Tirinzoni – will meet in tomorrow's gold medal match.
The Canadians lost 7-4 to China and 6-5 to the United States, while the Swiss rink were defeated 7-5 by Olympic champions Sweden and 7-6 by South Korea.
Russia's Team Sidorova were awarded the bronze medal following their 8-6 win over South Korea and subsequent 8-3 victory over Sweden.
Canada's Laura Walker and Kirk Muyres will meet Norway in tomorrow's final of the mixed event after beating Switzerland's Michele Jaeggi and Sven Michel 9-4.
A total of $280,000 (£214,000/€250,000) in prize money will go to the winners at the inaugural Grand Final.
For the men's and women's events there is $112,000 (£86,000/€100,000) up for grabs, with $56,000 (£43,000/€50,000) in the mixed doubles.

Men's swimsuits are a fairly modern creation, being that throughout most of history men bathed and swam separately from women and therefore didn't need to wear anything. It was only with mixed-sex bathing that men's swimsuits were developed, primarily as a modesty garment. Up until the early 20th century, US law prohibited men from even being bare-chested in public, and most wore woolen one-piece swimsuits. The leg could not be shorter than 4 inches from the knee and the skirt not shorter than two inches above the bottom of the trunks.That changed when in the 1930s men protested for the right to go topless until finally in 1936 New York lifted the topless ban, ushering in a new era of swimwear. Swimsuits now became more about function and style than mere cover-up. The 60s especially saw a proliferation of swimsuits designed for different functions in an array of new fabrics, with a marked accent on color and style. Today the sheer number of men's swimwear styles and cuts in any department store can be overwhelming, making it easy to sometimes make a hasty choice, or to simply stick to the same swimsuit you've been wearing season after season. Here's a quick review of what to consider when shopping for a new swimsuit.
Swim Trunks
Trunks are by far the most popular men's swimwear, at least in the US. Similar to shorts, but made from light, fast-drying materials like nylon or polyester, with a more fitted lining and a range of inseam lengths, trunks come in a virtually limitless variety of colors and patterns. If you're in relatively decent shape, look for a slimmer, shorter cut. Don't go too short or too tight – just comfortably fitted in proportion to how slim you are. Shorter and/or more muscled men can pull off shorter styles best. Flat-front trunks with a velcro closure are a good style option. Also, consider colors and/or graphic patterns – checks, paisleys, polka dots – to highlight the cut and summery look. Overall, trunks make a confident style statement. For a slightly less revealing style, try square-cut trunks. They hug the body from the waist to the upper thigh, with leg openings cut straight across.
Style reference: Sean Connery as 007 in Thunderball
Board Shorts
Originally developed for board sports like surfing and paddle-boarding, board shorts are a longer version of trunks that come to or past the knee and are fitted closer to the torso, often with a non-elastic waist. Board shorts are a great option if you have a beer belly or lovehandles. They cover up nicely while still looking stylish. Be careful not to go too long and baggy because that can backfire and make you look more shapeless. A little tailoring and solid colors are a good bet. Keep in mind that loose fabric when wet can chafe, so looser is definitely not better if you're going to be very active. If you're in decent shape, lace-up board shorts can make for a classic resort look beyond the pool – add loafers and a button-down shirt for summer evening cocktails. There are also Jammers, knee-length, skintight suits used by water athletes to reduce drag. Wearing them presumes that you are in good shape.

Swim Briefs
Often generically referred to simply as "speedos," the popular trademarked brand, swim briefs are tight, body-hugging swimsuits most commonly designed in stretch fabric and with an interior lining. Cut well below the waist and V-shaped in front to bare the thighs, swim briefs make a decidedly bolder statement. Whether you work hard on your physique, or you're just fortunate to have been genetically endowed with a fat-free body, swim briefs are the best way to show off your body. They are more popular in Europe and South America than in the US, but that is likely changing as we continue shedding our Puritan roots (and oversized trunks). If you're not sure whether you can pull off a swim brief or not, ask a girl – she'll tell you. (Hopefully nicely.)
Style reference: Daniel Craig in Casino Royale
General Type Tips:
Tall and athletic: You lucky dog – you can wear anything.
Short and athletic: Swim briefs work well for you. A high leg cut make legs look longer and a low waist band shows off those abs. (Avoid really long trunks.)
Tall and thin: Board shorts are best – tailored, not baggy.
Tall and big: Long trunks in solid colors or smaller patterns. (Bold patterns make you look all the bigger.)
Other Considerations: How intensive are your swimwear activities? For example, swimming in a hotel pool doesn't have as rigorous requirements as surfing, and can mean he difference between swim briefs and board shorts. Also, how much sun protection do you need? Prolonged sun exposure may call for more body coverage, thus longer trunks. Whatever style of swimsuit you choose, just be sure it stays up when you dive in - that's where a cord serves best.

Hi! I'm Kyle, the guy with the camera.
Creativity is the one that has always been an identifying marker of myself. As a child I was always into creating and making things for people, most of the time for my parents. It would make me so happy to see that these things that I'd made myself would bring happiness. Since childhood being a creative is something that has resonated with me and is something I love to bring out in my work. Photography is something that I've always connected to. As a child playing with the old film camera that my parents own, to the day that they final bought their first digital camera, which I would hijack and fill up the 512MB memory card in no time. Photography has been a passion that I've been developing years. Which brings me here to this point today.
These are the areas of Photography that I am gained experienced in and love to do, but as anyone with a passion, I am always interested in expanding my abilities and learning more. So if you have an opportunity for me or are looking for someone to shoot you or someone(with a camera!), don't be shy to say Hi!

C-N Men's Soccer Game Notes (PDF)
JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn. – The 2018 Carson-Newman men's soccer season officially commences on Saturday as the Eagles make their way to Morrow, Ga. for a showdown with Clayton State at 7 p.m.
The 2018 road opener marks the first of six matches that will be played away from the friendly confines of McCown Field this season. This will also be the second-straight season that C-N will kick of its year away from Mossy Creek, the first set of back-to-back road starts since 2013 and 2014. Season opening games on the road have seen the Eagles go 4-6-1 since 1989. Overall, C-N has gone 13-14-2 in games kicking off the season.
"The boys have trained well, trained hard and have started to buy into some of the things that we're asking of them,"second-year head coach Stephen Lyons said. "We've got to go into every game with the mindset that we're going to work hard and implement the game plan in order to try to get the result that we want."
Lyons' crew comes into the new year following a 9-7-2 campaign in 2017 with a third-place finish in the South Atlantic Conference standings. The season coming to a bitter end in the SAC Tournament quarterfinals with a 3-2 overtime loss to Queens, closing the book with a four-game losing streak.
The Eagles amassed a streak of eight consecutive clean sheets through the season, including a 1-0 shutout victory over No. 5 Lenoir-Rhyne. C-N pieced together a nine-game unbeaten streak during the season, including seven consecutive wins.
Carson-Newman as a team led the league in shutout percentage at .500, a clip that was good enough for 15th in the nation.
The Lakers wrapped up the 2017 year with a fifth-place finish in the Peach Belt Conference and an 8-9-1 record, 2-4-1 in league matches. Clayton State made it to the PBC semifinals for the first time since 2014, falling to Lander, 5-1.
The Lakers were in the top three of three statistical categories in the PBC in 2017. Their 2.17 scoring offense was third-best, 12.50 fouls per game were second-best and 38 yellow cards were a league-best.
Midfielder Kwaku Dwamena and forward Dean Foster were named All-PBC First Team members at the end of the season before making it to the preseason All-Conference team this year. Defender Jordan Knight taking second-team honors. Mitro Turunen won Co-Freshman of the Year honors, the fifth to do so in program history and the first since 2010. All four make returns for the Lakers this year.
This season, the Clayton State squad led by 15-year head coach Pete Peterson was elected to finish fourth in the league's preseason poll.
Clayton State comes into the match with a 0-1-0 record, after falling to Queens in the home opener on Thursday at Laker Field with a 1-0 tally that took two overtimes to decide a winner. The two teams were pitted in a deadlock through three frames of play before Edmundo Robinson connected with the back left corner of the goal from far right of the pitch.
Leauri Fraire and Kari Puustinen split time in front of the net for the Lakers in the game, accounting for a combined 15 saves.
Knight was ejected from the game in the 63rd minute after receiving his second yellow card.
The series history between the Lakers and Eagles sits even at 1-1-0, dating back to 1998 when the Lakers captured the first win in the series, 3-2.
The last meeting between the two came just a year ago with the Eagles opening their home schedule in victorious fashion. The 4-2 C-N win was highlighted by a Tobias Solem Karlsen (Kongsvinger, Norway) hat trick, the first by an Eagle since Nick Skoda scored one over Belmont Abbey in 2015.
The Eagles opened the match with three goals in the first 10 minutes thanks to a pair from Karlsen and one from Ashley Kelynack (High Wycombe, England). Dean Foster put the Lakers on the board midway through the first half while a Sekou Thornell goal in the 84th minute was not enough to stop the Eagles.
"Every year, you're going to face a new team," Lyons mentioned. "Last year, I felt that early in the game, we really took our opportunities and almost killed the game off before halftime. I actually felt Clayton State were stronger than what the result gave them credit for and the second half really showed that."
Saturday's match from Laker Field will begin at 7 p.m. Updates throughout the game can be found on Twitter through @CNathletics.

What Patients are Saying About Dr. Frank J. Mrazeck, DC
I did Spinal Decompression treatments for my back pain and it sure has helped. This has been one of the best experiences I have had. Again, thanks for everything.— W.T.
When I heard about spinal decompression, I felt it might help me. After seeing the table I was a little worried what the treatments might be like. Would they help? Would the treatments be painful? The treatments were actually very relaxing. One time I even fell asleep. After my third treatment of Spinal Decompression, I went bowling and bowled 30 points above my average which greatly impressed my Team. I definitely feel that Decompression Treatments are improving my body's mobility and strength, as well as relieving the pain that I have been experiencing for over a year!— B.W.
I had pain radiating down my right leg for the last 2 months. I tried acupuncture, pain meds and back surgery. I was taking 6 Tylenol a day. I'll admit I was apprehensive because of a bad experience in the past. But after starting Spinal Decompression treatments, I knew I had made the right decision in coming here. My pain level has gone from "12" to "0"! I am able to walk straighter, sleep better and do housework without pain. It is so comforting to be able to be pain-free without the use of medication.— L.U.

When I started my journey to self-discovery and learning about becoming the best possible version of myself, this quote resonated with me and has been a daily affirmation that I have carried and practiced ever since. At first, I didn't quite understand the true validity of it all but now I know the importance of who we have in our life and who we surround ourselves with.
There was a point in my life where independence was my golden rule. I didn't let people in, I was the strong one. The one who could handle anything. I was the yes girl, the one who everyone came to when they needed help and I happily obliged and took pleasure in helping others. That is what I did, I was a giver, a helper. Don't get me wrong, I still am today but things have changed quite a bit.
You see, there came a time in the recent past where I crashed. I hit my rock bottom, I was diagnosed with major burnout which led to PTSD, anxiety and depression and my life came to a staggering halt. I literally was forced to do some serious internal reflection and recognize that some of my behaviors were not healthy for me. I had to change these behaviors or things would have continued to get worse.
So began the journey of my self discovery.
While learning about myself, my behaviors and relationships and having to rely on others I was humbly reminded of how I actively contributed to where I was. I realized that I needed boundaries, that I needed to be more vulnerable and to let people in. I had to heal and deal with past events and most importantly to be my true authentic self and understand what I need and not sacrifice myself to help others. Bottom line, I had to come first.
Throughout this process and this realization, I have lost dear friends, made new ones and found out who really valued my friendship and discovered who I really was, to the core. They say that those who stick around for the tough times are truly the people who love you. I have learned this lesson and I would be lying if I said it didn't hurt. But, through my struggles and focusing on creating authentic relationships I turned what was the toughest moment of my life into a beautiful thing where I was able to recognize and foster healthy relationships in my life. I learned the true value of who you decide to let into your life and how it impacts how you live on a day to day basis.
When you surround yourself with people that lift you up, encourage you and support you, you quickly learn that your standards are increased, you perform at a higher standard, you operate at your best and you live a quality of life you are proud of. But, if you surround yourself with people who are negative, who put you down, who secretly don't want you to succeed, then unfortunately that is who you become.
So, be empowered, choose you, want better and take a lesson from my book that t I have learned throughout this whole process. That lesson is to surround yourself with the people who you want to become and that having authentic relationships is a two way street. It takes work. It takes commitment. It takes change. It takes support. It takes vulnerability. It takes lifting others up when they are down. It takes showing up. It takes being present. It takes making healthy boundaries. Just wishing you had more amazing people in your life is not going to make it happen. Change makes it happen.
The beautiful thing about it all, is that when you have those amazing people in your life, when you are dedicated to change, it is truly the best gift you could ever wish for. The value of being surrounded by women and men who lift you up and encourage you to be your best, who want you to succeed, who are supportive, who loves you for you and who shows up for you, you can't put a price tag on that.
I encourage you to be the best version of yourself, to dive into learning about you, to strive to be the best you can be and to actively practice working on you and creating authentic relationships. Practice the qualities you wish to see in others and put an effort in. We live in a world where knowledge is at our fingertips, take advantage of that and surround yourself with people who have the qualities you wish for and play an active role in creating the life you desire.
Our lives are driven every day by the choices we make, you have control over how you spend this time on earth, who you have in your life and how you decide to show up. So decide well and be the best version of yourself possible. When you work on you, you will be amazed on who you attract in your life.

In his work with male clients, Marshall finds that anger is the emotion most likely to get in their way. As he notes in the original What Got You Here, successful men who lash out in anger often justify doing so as a "useful management tool." They imagine it's an effective way to motivate sluggish employees and send a strong message about the importance of whatever is at stake. Yet the routine use of anger actually has the opposite effect, causing people to shut down, tune out, and lose motivation.
Of course, both women and men react in anger at work. But in our experience, women are more likely to display strong emotion in the form of anxiety, resentment, frustration, or fear. And the expression of these painful sensations is the primary reason many women get tagged as being volatile , Men of course also experience these emotions. But they've usually grown accustomed to stuffing them, or to channeling fear and anxiety into aggression. The message that anger is the only acceptable way for men to display emotion is conveyed from early childhood and finds reinforcement in team sports, where anger may be viewed as a sign of competitive drive.
Parents and teachers (as well as coaches) tend to give girls more latitude in displaying hurt, fear, and frustration or otherwise letting their vulnerability show. So it's not surprising that women tend to be more comfortable acting on these emotions. But given that the leadership model in most organizations has been set in the male image, these emotions find little acceptance, even though they're usually less destructive than anger.
There's no such thing as a good or bad emotion. Your emotions have enormous value. They provide useful information about the situation you're in, vital clues you would be unwise to ignore. Emotions are the wellspring of your intuition and the prime source of your energy and passion. They get you out of bed in the morning and keep you engaged when the going gets rough.
So it's vitally important to recognize what you are feeling at any moment, to identify and accept the emotions your circumstances are stirring up. However, speaking while in the grip of strong emotion is usually a bad practice. Your perceptions about who's at fault may be distorted. You may overstate your case. You may come across as touchy or out of control. And you most certainly will be unable to calibrate your response in a way that lands with maximum impact.

June 2014
June 2014
Last June's column included an excerpt from an old book of bicycling tips that was given to me. The book was written back in 1979, but many of the tips still ring true. Check out this tip, along with a few of my comments in parentheses:
"The traditional bicycle job is a paper route --- and becoming a newspaper delivery boy or girl is still an ideal job for a person with a bike. (Comment: newspaper delivery seems to have been taken over by adults in vans. Maybe that's because newspapers are delivered very early in the morning…before dark. When I had a paper route it was for an evening paper, delivered after school.) But there are other possibilities. For instance, more things need to be delivered than just newspapers. Grocery stores, drugstores, restaurants, and all sorts of businesses have customers who would like things brought to them. There are professional messenger services, sure, but they're very expensive and many small businesses can't afford them. So offer your services to store owners and other merchants in your town. You may be surprised at how willing they may be to take you up on the offer. (Comment: these opportunities existed in 1979. They still sound like good ideas and might be opportunities for young people to earn a little cash.) Also, when you deliver groceries, drugs, and other goods, you normally will get a tip for each trip you make. Paper boys and girls usually only get tipped at Christmas. (Comment: we would get tipped at Christmas, yes, but we also were tipped every week when we collected each customer's newspaper subscription in person.)"
"Here's another suggestion: perhaps there are people in your neighborhood who would like speedy errands done for them, such as going to the store or delivering a package or hand-delivering party invitations. Advertise your services on homemade signs and post them in shopping and other public areas."
The Bike Book (Doug Colligan and Dick Teresi)
Moms and dads, grandmas and grandpas, some of these ideas might still work! You might even entice your kids and grandkids to try these ideas by letting them know that they will be on the cutting edge of competing with Amazon drones for delivery services!

Have you tried riding in the rain yet? Last month I encouraged you to try it. Now with hot, dry summer weather here the opportunities for riding in the rain will lessen. Take advantage of wet weather when you can! Just don't ride when lightning or thunder is around.
Earn-a-Bike graduates have been riding together every other Wednesday. A few Wednesday's ago it threatened rain and in fact was drizzling a little bit just before we started our ride. Were the kids put off by the rain? Not at all! They were ready to go. So we rode and it didn't rain more than a few drops. The moral of the story: we miss a lot of opportunities for riding out of fear that we will get wet. Many times the rain never comes. And if it does…so what, you get a little wet.

« EdellinenJatka »
bably meet with Euthyphro again, and obtain some information about him. For if he is not a person taken out of some satirized dialogue, it is impossible to conceive how he comes here. And, what is most important, we should then be better able to see what other allusions may be here further concealed. For it is certain that what we find in the dialogue is not all directed at the one person who is the object of the satire, but, as we have seen also in the Euthydemus, a large share is intended to be devoted to self-defence. This is here the more evident, as the playful manner in which Plato sometimes used language may have found censurers enough, especially among those who were in the habit of availing themselves of much not very different from this play in proof of their opinions. And in this point of view too we should naturally expect to see this play here pushed to extremities, and to find our dialogue indulging in the very last degree of epideixis as it were in this kind; as strange explanations brought in from elsewhere are outdone in it by still stranger of its own. And this etymological part has been the cruw of the translator, and it was matter of long and perplexing deliberation with him how to extricate himself from the difficulty. The introduction generally of the Greek words appeared an intolerable expedient, and it seemed better to let the Socrates who was speaking German once for all derive German from German. On the other hand, it was not possible to do this with the proper names—in these it was necessary to preserve the original tongue; and since both methods now stand in company with one another, the reader will at all events have occasion to congratulate himself that no one exclusively pervades the whole. But as that which elsewhere occurs only in detached particulars comes out here in a mass, so on the other hand it cannot be denied that the art of dialogic composition goes somewhat back; and when we compare the Cratylus with the Euthydemus, with which it stands most nearly connected in so many respects, we shall find that in the latter the ironical and the serious parts are interwoven far more beautifully with one another. Here, on the contrary, Plato appears almost overcome by the superabundance of philological jest, so harsh and abrupt are the transitions in the latter part of the dialogue; sometimes, after short digressions, he turns back to what has gone before, as if it were something new rather than what had been already said—sometimes he does bring forward matter actually new, but for which no preparation whatever has been made and which is harshly subjoined to what immediately precedes, in a manner that might almost lead us to doubt, if we were to consider such passages as these exclusively, whether it is Platonic. This is particularly noticeable at the point from which the signification of the letters is explained. But the whole will admit no manner of doubt of its genuineness, and the most that can be said is, that Plato after that point returned to his subject with no great inclination to do so, and sketched as slightly as possible what still remained to be said. Of the persons of the dialogue, there is I fear but little to be said: Hermogenes is also known from Xenophon as a not rich brother of the rich Callias; Cratylus is mentioned not only as a pupil of Heraclitus, but also as a teacher of Plato in his youth—a piece of information which does indeed rest upon the authority of the Metaphysics of Aristotle, but has fortunately too little influence upon our dialogue to render it necessary for us to test it more accurately in this place.
IN the Sophist we distinguish at once and at the first glance two perfectly separate masses, one of which, distributed into the two extremities, starts with the idea of art, and endeavours, by continuous division and exclusion, to find the nature and true explanation of a Sophist; while the other, which forces itself into the middle of this, after the introduction of the problem of the possibility of co-existence and community in ideas, speaks of the existent and non-existent. If therefore we regard solely the construction and connection of the whole, we must look for its essential object and chief matter in that external mass, and take the internal only for a well-chosen or indispensable mean for attaining that object. For it is entirely in the natural course of the investigation concerning the Sophist, that a necessity arises of assuming the possibility of a non-existent, and of establishing something as to its admissibility; and as soon as this has been done so far that the original investigation can be continued, this investigation again comes in, and so completely fills up the dialogue that they conclude simultaneously. If, on the other hand, we look to the importance and scientific bearing of the two parts, the external falls entirely into the background as something in comparison with the internal, almost insignificant; especially as the subject of it had been already touched upon in several points of view, and we do not in fact here learn anything new as to the nature of the Sophist, the novelty consisting solely in the method and combination. Hence this question is far less entitled to be considered as the subject of a work so important even in point of extent, than the other part, which is in itself so much more philosophical. For in this part not only is the nature of the non-existent, which was at that time the subject of such various dispute, discussed more thoroughly than elsewhere, and, as we may clearly see, the question solved to Plato's perfect satisfaction, but also that of positive existence itself profoundly entered into, and the methods hitherto pursued in the philosophical consideration of it, criticised in some important features. So that, looking to this circumstance, we might be disposed to look for the real subject-matter of the dialogue solely and immediately in the middle part of it, and to believe that the nearer the extremities any thing is found the more such matter passes into mere shell and setting. To this may be added, that in the method pursued in the enquiry after the nature of the Sophist, it is impossible to overlook the spirit of ridicule which indulges itself partly in pointing out the close connection between the business of the Sophist and all manner of mean occupations, and in particular in representing him in a great variety of ways as a pedlar, and then again constantly takes up anew the image of a sly beast very difficult to catch. And even the method applied of finding the object sought, merely by continuous subdivision, is here almost spoken of with contempt. For although it constitutes an important part of the dialectic art, and is elsewhere very seriously pursued and recommended by Plato, it still appears here, when the subject is jocular, to be not only negligently handled, as when, for example, first of all, exchange is made a subdivision of fighting, and then again fighting of exchange; and these two were originally placed as parallel and similar to one another, and generally a sort of caprice pervades the whole; but this process is actually ridiculed by Plato himself, inasmuch as he shows, from the very multitude of the attempts, that the nature of the subject is never discovered by these means, but only particular marks collected by which it may be known, as indeed at last, when the subject is correctly and exhaustively exhibited, he no longer starts thus from a general position, but from a determinate notion. But on the other hand, this external part is still most closely connected with the internal, and the latter would not appear itself in its full light without the former. For, to go no further, the idea that the description of the Sophist might be a merely subordinate work, must be rejected as mistaken, simply because the statesman and philosopher are required in the same manner as the Sophist, and thus the foundation is laid of a great trilogy. This trilogy, indeed, it would seem, Plato did not perfectly execute, but the purpose of it must clearly have been to complete the exposition of the nature of these arts, and the description of the method of operation used by their masters in an entire whole, to be rendered the more vivid by the method pursued. And even in our present dialogue, the circumstance cannot escape the attentive reader, that

The Obamas and Clintons, Hatfields and McCoys of 2008
Yes that's right the Hatfield's and McCoy's. For those of you who have no idea who they are, the Hatfield's and McCoy's were the subjects of the infamous battle between two rural families over everything from property rights to the color of the sky.
Why do I make this sort of comparison? Well it's simple really. Hilllary has pulled in Bill and Obama touts Michelle at every chance he gets. Hillary has been quiet since the infamous "emotion" stunt and Bill has taken her place with the finger pointing and name calling.
Unfortunately Mr.Clinton is used to being wrong on key facts. Indisputably Mr.Clinton was caught lying on several occasions throughout his presidency under oath, most famously for the Monica Lewinsky incident where he was forced to back peddle and admit the truth, which led to an eventual impeachment by the U.S. Congress.
First Hillary spouts a message of a united Democratic front, after which she immediately goes on an attack binge against Obama, thus putting Obama in the defensive stance to create a website chronicling her attacks as they happen. I thought it was pretty brilliant. However, somehow the vast majority of the Democratic party seem to completely ignore it, defying any logic or reason.
So the question becomes, is it truly a race issue? Are people content to accept a female over a black male as a "lesser of two evils" type of reasoning? Are they actually voting for the candidates base don where they stand in key issues? I don't really think so. I presume it not to be arguable that there will be people who refuse to vote for Hillary because she is a female just as there are people who will refuse to vote for Obama due to his skin color. No matter how you slice it, or how small the concept may be, it exists.
If this is their thinking I would have to largely disagree. Hillary Clinton has a history of deceit, lies and questionable financial background. She still refuses many of her past records to be exposed. Too many people surrounding the Clinton circle either wound up dead, pardoned by Bill, or in some way involved in some sort of scandal such as with the Hillary's Whitewater scandal. (Bill's and Hill's partner in crime James McDougal died of a questionable heart attack in federal prison incidentally.)
As even key as I try to stay it is hard for me to refrain myself in thinking there are those who are blindly following political leaders into the voting booths simply based on either "likability", "name recognition", "political party affiliation" and little more. The average voter typically isn't fully aware of where their candidate of choice stands on key issues.
For example: Those who support madam Clinton, aren't aware that her Universal Healthcare would cause states to raise taxes to the point of keeping people poor just in order to finance it. It isn't financially feasible, but because less fortunate people want free universal healthcare they vote for her without knowing the full economic impact of the concept.
Folks don't seem to realize Socialism failed in the former U.S.S.R. and brought the Soviet Union's economy crashing down as they attempted to convert a "somewhat" democratic society. So how does a candidate that favors socialist ideals manage to convince voters she is the candidate of change for the better? Yeah she is definitely a candidate for change, the WRONG kind of change. No matter how you look at it she is still a part of the old guard,(and McCain the real old guard) thus not a candidate for positive change in my own opinion. First she was the "experience" candidate and now she claims to be the "change" candidate adopting whatever the popular concept at the time is. Lest you forget, it was in fact Obama who first touted himself as the candidate of change so i would challenge that Hillary stole his concept.
Now rather than just discuss the Clintons and Obamas, I could make the same argument for voters who follow such candidates as Ron Paul. Somehow people blindly follow this guy because he thinks he can dissolve the IRS, bring everybody home from Iraq and hide the U.S. from the rest of the world. Unfortunately it just isn't that easy in the grand scheme of things. Paul's thinking is far too flawed and simple minded to ever capture the majority of intelligent educated voters which is why he hasn't done so well thus far in the caucuses.
Are people really voting for change? I would venture to say No. People are voting out of frustration. They think either if Hill gets in office, Bill will help her to fix the economy with Clinton-economics, or that John McCain is the best person to resolve the situation in Iraq. While others are stuck on Romney's perfect hair and presidential appearance, and Obama's likability. And again, Ron Paul supporters just show us that there are completely clueless individuals out there who obviously have no idea what's going on in the world and how best to responsibly act accordingly.
Here's to the coming recession ….. I think I'll move to Canada for the next 4 years. (kidding, I'm actually imprisoned behind a 1990's era computer in Nate's basement, please send food and drink!)
Angry over and out.

In the red corner, weighing in with 10 years of experience and over 300 hours of video uploaded every minute, YouTube! In the blue corner, a newcomer to the video scene but rapidly gaining a strong fan base, Facebook! It surely comes as no surprise to you that these are the two major players in the online video scene. Both have their strengths and weaknesses, though one has taken notes from its elder and is starting to make its presence known on the timeline of online video. YouTube has been the hands down leader in online video for a decade with hardly any competition. Everything from baby's first steps to their first fail can be found on YouTube. You might even be able to find video of your 1986 prom and that incredible mullet you rocked when you pulled up to your date's house in a T-top Camaro…bitchin'! While YouTube had a death grip on the online-video market, Facebook's strategy has found ways to loosen that grip over time.
Whose Throwing More Punches, Facebook or YouTube?
YouTube's first quarter views in 2015 were 756,000,000,000. No, I didn't accidentally throw three zeros into that number. Think about it for a bit, when you navigate to YouTube to watch a specific video, many times you'll click on another video in the right-hand list of related videos. There, you've just watched two videos and that was in one visit. Multiply that by YouTube's 1.3 billion strong fan-base and you have 2.6 billion video views in a matter of minutes. While 756 billion is an astonishing number, it is now pretty easy to see how they can obtain that over the span of three months. Sheer video volume is still dominated by YouTube but brands are rapidly turning to Facebook as the platform to upload their video and engagement is the primary reason for that.
Think about it, you likely spend far more time on Facebook than YouTube though not necessarily watching videos. You're still on the site which means brands still have a chance to reach you. Plus, how often (if ever) do you leave a comment on a YouTube video or even give it thumbs up? If you think of videos as being punches thrown, YouTube is like Mike Tyson, throwing an endless fury knowing that one or two will land square to its target market. Facebook on the other hand is like Rocky, throwing less punches overall, but having them hit their target market each time. That makes releasing videos on Facebook much more effective and appealing to brands.
At the end of the day it all comes down to convenience for the user and Facebook is going to win in that area as average users are already there to see what's going on in their friend's lives, to wish someone a happy birthday, or like the latest cat video. As the competition evolves, it's harder and harder to hold on to the title and YouTube is learning that with each passing round.

How difficult it is to operate a B&B and have children. I am just going to say that right now, IT TOTALLY SUCKS. IT IS AWFUL AT TIMES. You cannot be who you need to be with strangers under your roof, you cannot deal with issues.
I would like to tell those people who think it is a piece of cake, it is not. And NO you have not heard me on here whinging and complaining about this, but I am right now. You get upset and have to smile, you cannot go away and have a good cry, you cannot do what you need to do. IT SUCKS living under a microscope.
That's all. Back to business now.

Coastal fish communities are an important natural resource that are often challenging to manage due to limitations of traditional methods. However, with over 800 species of fish known to produce sound, passive acoustic methods including localization may be used to overcome these limitations and monitor fish communities. Data from passive acoustic arrays deployed at two different locations between 2015 and 2017 in Little Cayman, Cayman Islands during the spawning of Nassau grouper (Epinephelus striatus) have been used to study the temporal and spatial dynamics of this spawning aggregation. 2D and 3D hyperbolic localization methods were evaluated and applied to the data collected in 2017 to look at fine-scale movements of the spawning aggregation at nighttime when visual observations are not possible. These data revealed significant differences in the calling trends of Nassau grouper between sites and years and movement of the aggregation around sunset in 2017 that are related to spawning activity. I will discuss these methods and results further in this presentation and the benefit these methods may have for fisheries management.
Estimating the sediment sound speed from the horizontal coherence of the head wave excited by a Robinson R44 helicopter
A series of shallow-water acoustic experiments has been conducted off the coast of southern California using a Robinson R44 helicopter as a low-frequency (≈ 13 – 3500 Hz) sound source. The aim of the experiments was to recover the sound speed of a fine to very-fine sand sediment from the horizontal coherence of the head wave excited in the water column by the helicopter. Two hydrophones, separated horizontally by approximately 15 m and situated 0.5 m above the seabed, received the head-wave signals, allowing the coherence function to be formed over the bandwidth of the airborne source. The sediment sound speed was recovered by matching the zero crossings of the measured coherence function to those predicted from a recently developed theory of head-wave generation in shallow water. Using this technique, the sediment sound speed can be estimated over a frequency range extending between 500 Hz, the lowest zero crossing of the coherence function, and 2.5 kHz, the bandwidth of the source. In the middle of the frequency band, the sound speed of the sediment was estimated to be 1682 ± 16 m/s, consistent with the known sediment type.
