Understanding Express.js middleware function
Express middleware can be very confusing at first if you are not familiar with callbacks functions. Today we will show you how a middleware works, providing a basic usage example with user authentication.
Based on this express guide, middleware are functions that have access to the request object (req), the response object (res), and the next function in the application's request-response cycle, let's describe these elements one by one below:
- The "req" object represents the HTTP request and has properties for the request query string, parameters, body, HTTP headers, and so on.
- The "res" object represents the HTTP response that an Express app sends when it gets an HTTP request.
- The "next" function is a function of the Express router which, when invoked, executes the middleware succeeding the current middleware.
// middleware function example:
function myMiddleware(req, res, next) { // your logic here next(); }
The req and res objects are pretty simple, but next function is a bit more complicated if you are new to express, you can do a whole application without even using it, this is a very bad practice, you can't make a real express application without properly using the next function, understanding it is the key to make a modular and scalable express applications. We will make a basic user authentication app to help you understand the next function, so, let's start coding!
Modern web and mobile applications use jwt to authenticate the users, that's what we are using today for our example, the following code is a middleware that sends a token to the user's client, and to verify the token sent by the user from the client side.
// auth.middleware.js
Notice that we export two functions (module.exports), these are the middleware functions, but now, how can we use it in our application?
Let´s make an example of it with a user login and Sign up API rest, you need to send a token to the user after the sign up/login, to handle future HTTP requests from that user, also we have to verify the token sent in those HTTP request, that's what our middleware's do. The User model below is just a basic schema made with mongoose.
// auth.routes.js
We have two routes here:
- '/login' takes two callbacks, login, and auth.signToken functions, auth.signToken is the middleware we defined before on auth.middleware.js, we used require('fileRouteHere') to be able to use the middleware, auth.signToken will be called only if we call next() on login, notice that I call next() only if I successfully find the user, also notice that I modified the req.user in login, this is the purpose of the req object, not just to get the data from the client but to share data between middleware, req.user will be used in auth.signToken to sign and sent the token to the user on the client side.
- '/register' takes only one callback function as a parameter, the register function, this means no more function will be called after this middleware function if we use next(), so, can we remove it from register function and only pass (req, res) as parameters? The answer is no, you should always use the next function even if there are no more chained middleware, because you can use it to handle errors, notice that I call next(err) if I get an error saving the user, this won't call the next middleware, but the next error handler middleware. If you want to know more about error handling I suggest you go to my next post "Understanding Express.js error handling".
Now we will handle a basic HTTP request from the user to update his profile, this time the auth.verifyToken middleware will protect the update route, if the token is valid it will call next() to update the user, otherwise, it will send an error 403 to the client (unauthorized).
// user.routes.js
This time the auth.verifyToken is first because we don't want the user to access to the server APIs if they have an invalid token or no token at all, '/user/' has a patch method, this will call auth.verifyToken decode the token and assign it to req.user then the findByIdAndUpdate function will have access to the user's _id to update the user, the req.body is the data sent from the client side to update the user.
We are done here! I hope I could have helped you to understand more about express middleware, stay online to learn more about node.js, express.js and MongoDB!

Vegan Recipe - Super Delish Kale Side Dish
- Prep Time : 5 minutes
- Cook Time : 15 minutes
- Servings : 4
1 bunch of kale, chopped - remove large stems and mince
1 onion, chopped
2 Tablespoons of coconut oil
1 ½ Tablespoons of ume plum vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
1. Add the coconut oil and chopped onion to a medium skillet over medium heat. Once the onions begin to cook, reduce heat to low-med for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
2. When the onions are almost completely cooked, add the chopped kale stems (as the stems will need to cook longer then the kale leaves). Cook for another 3-4 minutes and then add the chopped kale leaves. Continue cooking all together for another 2-3 minutes, or until the kale leaves are slightly wilted.
3. Add the ume plum vinegar to finish the dish. Stir well for another minute to ensure the vinegar is evenly distributed. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy.

3 Questions All Authors Should Ask Before Beginning to Write
Before starting on a journey, most of us determine our desired route ahead of time to avoid getting lost. This same principle applies to writing. Many first-time authors think sitting down and hammering out the story is all they need to do. Few take the time to ask three simple questions that can help give their book direction and reach the most readers.
- Who is the target audience?
Decide what genre you are writing for, and stick to it. By focusing on a specific group of readers and understanding what they are looking for, you can fine-tune your writing. Add details and plot twists that they will find interesting. Savvy readers will instantly see holes in your story. Learn to look at your work from their highly critical perspective, and adjust your direction accordingly. Trying to write for a wide audience only waters down your chances of finding your core readers.
- What is the main theme of your book?
Do not confuse this with plot. The theme or underlying message weaves throughout the plot. A book without a clear message leaves readers lost and confused. A clearly defined theme serves as your North Star to keep your storyline on target. For example, if the importance of family is the central theme of your book, your main character's actions and beliefs should reflect that. Defining your message improves the continuity of your work.
- How Will You Engage the Reader?
When agents and publishers evaluate a book, they tend to judge it based on the first five pages. Readers also critique the entirety of your work based on the beginning pages and your book summary. Those key pages must involve your readers emotionally and intellectually. You have a limited window to capture their attention and draw them in, so be sure to engage your readers. Make them care about what you are writing. Show, don't tell.
Ask for an Editor's Help
plan will energize your writing momentum by clearing any fog you may have been laboring under. Don't be afraid to ask for help. A professional editor can coach you on constructing the framework of your book as well as editing and proofing later. The ultimate goal is a polished, professional sample of your work as an author, ready for eager readers.
Why Dog Ear?
Learning the ins and outs of the self-publishing business can be confusing and intimidating, which is why having a company like Dog Ear Publishing, with over fifty years of traditional publishing experience, gives you a competitive edge. The friendly, knowledgeable staff at Dog Ear Publishing will guide you through the publishing process and help you achieve superior production results. If you want your book to be a quality reflection of who you are as an author, visit our website at www.dogearpublishing.net today and take control of your publishing destiny.

The Namiseom Island is 63 km away from Seoul in the direction of Chuncheon, and is famous for its beautiful tree lined roads, so you have to dedicate a full day for this adventure. Best if you travel early to make the time more flexible for you and gives you more time to take photos of the island.
Gwangjang Market
The Gwangjang Market is the nation's first market and continues to thrive as a popular tourist destination today. The second floor of the market provides all of your silk, satin, and linen bed-sheet stores, which are the largest and most famous in Seoul.
Located in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, the War Memorial of Korea exhibits and preserves materials related to the Korean War and serves as a national moral educational venue. It was established to commemorate the noble sacrifice of patriotic martyrs by the War Memorial Service Korea Society on June 10, 1994. The museum houses approximately 33,000 artifacts with about 10,000 on display at indoor and outside exhibition halls.
After our late lunch at Tosokchon we headed out to see the Bukchon Hanok Village. We rode the bus even if it was kinda near if your a walker but if not I suggest you take the bus. The Bukchon Hanok Village is on the other side of the palace where Tosokchon is located. We got off at Samcheongdong. Samcheongdong is full of art galleries and cafes. We walked around and enjoyed every single concepts of stores they have there. A hip place for the everyone to appreciate.
after our visiting Gyeongbokgung Palace we had our lunch at Tosokchon which serves the best Samgyetang (Chicken Ginseng Soup) in Seoul. We just walked from the palace to Tosokchon.
Here are some of my photos during my visit at Gyeongbokgung Palace, Seoul, South Korea.
Our first destination on our list here in South Korea is the Gwanghwamun Square.
My first trip to Korea and will hopefully not the last, all thanks to my multiple entry visa. How did I got a multiple entry you asked? So here is the whole story of my whole Korean visa experience.

Something broke out of the picket-fence surrounding Nature Networks Blogs. I've never participated in a blog meme … but this one appealed to me simply because I liked the questions. I haven't read anyone else's answers yet, to avoid biasing my own.
1. What is your blog about?
I often ask myself this question. Being a scientist, I always feel like it should be about science, and the various biological systems I work with. I reality, it is about programming, bioinformatics, the web with the tiniest bit of structural biology thrown in. I used to blog about Linux related things occasionally, but I split that off into another blog (which gets 10 times more traffic :)).
2. What will you never write about?
I'd rather not rule anything out. I've avoided politics, largely because all my "blogging peers" also largely avoid it. Sometime I wonder why, but I think I'm beginning to understand; blogging about political issues may seem important, but eventually it just becomes a constant 'rah rah rah'. That would get boring. So I'm saving it for when it really matters (the proposed 'filtering' of internet connections at the ISP level by the Australian government is coming close. There, I did it 🙂 ).
3. Have you ever considered leaving science?
Yes. But I did cheat and read Bora's answer to this one (by accident).
I think it would be impossible to leave 'science' unless I became permanently brain damaged or something. Leave research … sure, it crosses my mind from time to time.
4. What would you do instead?
I'd try my best to get a job in video game development, or web application development (or both … developing a web-based game !). I'd try to work my experience as a scientist into this endeavour. Not sure how successful I would be, but I'm trying to slowly build up a portfolio, just in case 🙂
5. What do you think will science blogging be like in 5 years?
I think research groups will be tied together more and more by their blogs. A bit like the way RRRosie Redfield runs things. Not necessarily blanket Open Notebook Science (give it 10 years), but certainly a greater level of open, public communication of ideas.
6. What is the most extraordinary thing that happened to you because of blogging?
It's not that exciting, but it's the best I've got; I was contacted by an real journalist with some questions about the role of cloud computing for academic research. I didn't really feel qualified to comment a length, since it largely stemmed from a 'what if' type idea I blogged about. But I gave my perspective anyhow.
7. Did you write a blog post or comment you later regretted?
Yes, quite often. I have a tendancy to always be in a hurry when commenting, coupled with a desire to not be overly self-censoring. I'm never trying to sound like a kook, troll or A-hole … it just turns out that way sometimes. Personally I find it takes a long time to write a concise, clear comment, beyond "LOL". The FriendFeed comment box is always too small for me, but that's a good thing, since it forces me to summarise.
8. When did you first learn about science blogging?
Not exactly sure, but I think it was via nodalpoint.org the bioinformatics weblog. I wrote one or two posts for nodalpoint. Around the time I was writing my PhD thesis, a few netziens of nodalpoint started blogs (or I discovered that they had blogs outside of nodalpoint). The most influential for me were Neil Saunders' "What You're Doing is Rather Desparate", and well as Pedro Beltrao's "Public Rambling" and Duncan Hull's "O'Really ?". I thought, "I can do that", so I started a Blogger blog. One year later I moved to a self-hosted WordPress blog. But lets not get side tracked with a boring meta-discussion about blogging software.
9. What do your colleagues at work say about your blogging?
Mostly, they are unaware. Occasionally I have dropped a comment about "my blog", but no one has really jumped on it. Which is fine, since I don't really blog about anything that most of them have any interest in.
Well, that's it. Now to read everyone else's responses ……

Want to Find True Love? Stop Believing These 4 Relationship Myths
A lot of people believe relationship myths and this is partly Hollywood's doing. Movies, TVs, and books tell us certain storylines about love, and we want to believe them. It's comforting to think someone is out there waiting to complete you and fulfill all your wants and needs. But is it realistic? Not so much.
There's also a feeling of individuality behind modern relationship myths. In centuries past, children were strategically married off by their families for economic and status reasons. Now, in the Western world, people choose their mates. But this doesn't mean that relationship myths actually help anyone. In some ways, they make dating and coupling harder. To find true love, stop believing in these four relationship myths.
1. There's only one soul mate in the world for me.
As tragically pleasing as this idea may seem, if you fervently believe there is only one soul mate in the entire world — who is waiting just to meet you — you're setting yourself up for disappointment. First of all, you'll miss out on anyone else who wants to date you (because they're not this mythical figure), and the potential joy of that relationship.
Keeping yourself closed off and pining for a soul mate is like being in a state of perpetual adolescence – you can't learn how to be in an intimate relationship with another person if you never try. And then suddenly you find yourself actually wanting to put down the soul mate fantasy and start a real relationship, but you have no practice or no aptitude. Plus, you may still carry that idealized soul mate image in your heart, which will doom a new partner. How can they possibly measure up?
2. If we truly love each other we should never fight.
Conflict in a relationship is normal in all relationships and a sign that growth is trying to happen. It's a way to express strong emotions, and the hope is, as we become older and wiser we fight fair and with awareness.
If you find anger rises up fast for you (you may even feel physical sensation before you can name it as anger), bringing conscious awareness to your anger by taking a few breaths before it overwhelms you is a good start. Also saying internally, "anger is present" can help turn your anger into a useful tool for communicating and strengthening a relationship.
If you believe being truly in love means never fighting, you're denying reality in a way that's going to come back and haunt you. When something needs to be expressed between people but is forced down and suppressed, it comes out in other ways—usually passive aggression, or depression. Anger that is subverted manifests in the body, as digestive problems, headaches, and poor sleep. Accept that in any relationship, you will fight with the other person at some point. Learning to fight respectfully and fairly actually generates new energy between people.
3. My partner will never be attracted to anyone else.
Monogamy is a fairly recent concept in human evolution. Think about all the times in your life, even in a single day, that you feel attracted to other people, be them people on the street or faces in TV commercials. You might not even be aware that you're attracted to these people, just that a pleasant feeling that arises — and it's human nature, there's nothing wrong with this.
In the course of your relationship, it's highly possible your partner will attracted to someone else, whether they tell you this or not. There are entire pornography markets devoted to married audiences, and these are a positive development, because they admit reality — people are attracted to others, outside of their monogamous relationships.
But if your partner is not acting on their attractions, then what's the problem, really? Insecurities (about body image, wealth, status, intelligence) are part of having an ego. Chances are your partner has their own list of fears and insecurities too. Make sure you're communicating about them with each other as a way of going through this human dilemma together.
4. My partner needs to meet all my relationship needs.
This myth persists despite all evidence to the contrary including centuries of divorce, murder and adultery. No one person can meet all of your relationship needs — your needs change over time, and you might not even know what they are at first.
Asking someone else to "complete" you is not going to work for either of you. If you told someone every possible thing you needed from them, and then, through some hidden superhuman ability they were able to give it to you, you'd probably be bored with that in a month or two, or think they were trying too hard.
All you can do in a relationship is bring your best self forward, over and over. If you're lucky, your partner will do the same, and the relationship will get what it needs — and give back to you both.

"Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings. And the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while will Himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast." (1 Peter 5:8-10)
- We have an advisory, an enemy, who wants to destroy us.
- We know he's looking for opportunities to ruin our lives.
- We must resist him and stand firm for what we believe.
- God will deliver us and then restore us.
I would be a lonely, mean, cold person. Sometimes I find myself slipping into cynicism and just plain nasty attitudes. I call one of my mentors and ask them to meet me. They remind me of who I am and who I want to be.
Don't let the hawk in your life catch you. He's probably chasing your tail, but find your hiding place and stay there.

Buck conducted a three-day fleet engagement trip to visit with Sailors at Naval Station (NS) Groton, NS Newport and Navy Recruiting District New England to introduce the 21st Century Sailor Office, update the fleet on where the Navy stands regarding sexual assault, suicides, and alcohol-related incidents, and to solicit feedback from the Fleet about how to best communicate information and how to improve the delivery of future training for the fleet.
"Let me update you on how our Navy is doing in eliminating many destructive behaviors," said Buck. "Sexual assault awareness has vastly improved. Awareness about the reporting process is up because of all the training you've completed over the last year. We have also worked hard to develop a benchmark response system for victims of sexual assault. As we sustain this awareness and response system, now is the time to further step up our prevention efforts. To that end, my office will be rolling out skills-based bystander intervention training later this year. We will also introduce other scenario-based training focused on eliminating negative behaviors on the left side of the Continiuum of Harm such as sexual harassment."
In addition to sexual assault prevention and response, the 21st Century Sailor Office is responsible for suicide prevention, drug and alcohol abuse prevention and the physical fitness program.
"We saw a 26% decrease in suicides last year from the previous year," said Buck. "However, one suicide is one too many... There have been decreases in the number of alcohol-related incidents and DUIs. Since we started testing for synthetic drugs, the number of Sailors popping positive for synthetic drugs has dropped off tremendously. PRT-related administrative separations are down."
Buck also wanted to solicit feedback from the fleet. He asked Sailors how they wanted to receive information from the 21st Century Sailor Office and how they best receive training so it is relevant and meaningful.
Sailors advocated for information to be passed to them via social media, but continued to agree that the best method was face-to-face interaction so that there can be an open dialogue in better understanding and comprehending the information. Additionally, the submarine community asked for resources to be downloaded on the SIPR network, so that they would have access to it during their working hours. For training, Sailors requested small, peer-led focus groups of mixed gender and rank. They would like short and concise training that is impactful in its messaging, but that has minimal impact to the workday.
The trip concluded with visits to two Boston-area universities, Wellesley College and Northeastern University. Buck met with the psychology departments, school of criminal justice and the college of health sciences to share best practices and resources for sexual assault prevention and response.

Guidelines, Tips, and Warnings About Potential Scams of Homeowners
Earlier this week our office was notified by the Montgomery County Office for the Aging that they have been getting a large number of NY Connects calls from older adults who had received a postcard mailing addressed to "resident" from the National Residential Improvement Association (NRIA) offering to help them get a grant to repair their home. The postcard looks official, but it is not a government program, and the company currently does not have a valid business license. NRIA has been reported to the Better Business Bureau multiple times since 2008. This is a scam.
Government grant scams are on the rise. With the recently passed federal stimulus bill, scammers are taking advantage of homeowners of all ages by making bogus offers to secure generous grants for home repairs.
What to look out for:
• Unsolicited phone calls or emails from someone claiming to be an official from the Federal Grants Administration (which does not exist), or a nonprofit organization like the National Residential Improvement Association offering grants or funding for repairs.
• Social media messages or posts from people excited to share the thousands of dollars they claim to have received from an organization that secures grants for homeowners.
• Callers who ask you to pay a fee in order to receive a grant. Federal grants never charge for grant applications.
• Magazine or newspaper ads that offer "free grants."
• Calls or emails that claim you're eligible for a personal grant that does not restrict how you spend the money.
Protect yourself:
• Do not answer your telephone if you do not recognize the caller or number.
• Never share personal information over the telephone, like your Medicare number, Social Security number or banking information.
• Never pay a fee to a company that says it will help you get a grant.
• Block or unfriend anyone who offers unsolicited grant information on social media. Even if you are "friends" with that person – they may have been hacked.
• Only use local contractors with validated references to do work in your home.
If you have been a victim of such a scam:
• Report it to the New York State Attorney General's Office: 800-771-7755
• Report to the AARP Fraud Watch Network: 877-908-3360
• Report the scammer to the Better Business Bureau: https://www.bbb.org/consumer-complaints/file-a-complaint/get-started

Breaking news today on TheAge.com.au spells bad news for all audacious mountain bikers out there. As they see it "mountain biking could lose its reputation as an extreme sport on the back of new Australian statistics showing it is better described as extremely safe!
They continue, and I quote their entire article as follows:
A major analysis of injury rates in cross country endurance mountain biking has concluded that just a quarter of a per cent of those who do it are seriously hurt.
"It has a reputation as an extreme sport that is quite dangerous but we have shown that that's really not the case," said lead researcher Dr Nick Taylor, from the emergency department at Canberra Hospital.
"In fact, it's much safer than it's given credit for."
The researchers analysed demographic and illness data recorded by paramedics attending the annual biking championships over the past eight years.
Of the 14,777 riders who took part over the years, just 673, or 4.5 per cent, required first aid treatment and just 37, or 0.25 per cent, were taken to hospital.
Female riders were more likely to be seriously injured than males, and a comparison with weather data showed accidents were more likely to happen in a hotter, drier climate.
"We are not sure exactly why this is but we believe that the dry heat dries out the tracks a lot, making it loose and sandy and harder for the tyres to grip," Dr Taylor said.
"It is also likely that in endurance races like this the riders get sweaty, tired, fatigued and more accident-prone in the hotter weather."
Accidents were also more likely on busier tracks for obvious reasons.
The study, to be presented at an emergency medicine conference in Newcastle on Thursday, is the largest to give a safety profile for the sport.
"Mountain biking is an increasingly popular sport in Australia," Dr Taylor said.
"Yet there is a paucity of Australian information on injuries in this sport, and limited overseas literature."
Well there you have it. What do you think? any mountain bikers out there just a little peeed-off about being demoted? or an attempted demotion anyway. What think you….?

MoMA's New Photography Class Isn't About Taking Photos
Put down the selfie sticks and step away from filters. With the invention of Instagram came the idea that anybody could be a photographer as long as you can crop your photos and avoid the Toaster filter—but at least one museum disagrees. Don't worry, though. They're here to help. The Museum of Modern Art thinks your photography skills could use some work, so they're offering help in the form of free online photography classes. Albeit, with a requisite bit of shade. A line from their course description reads, "Although taking, sharing, and viewing photographs has become second nature for many of us, our regular engagement with images does not necessarily make us visually literate."
While there aren't any statistics on America's visual literacy rates (I Googled), the MoMA wants to tackle the problem firsthand by bringing culture to the masses. The class will specifically be about "address[ing] the gap between seeing and truly understanding photographs by introducing a diversity of ideas, approaches, and technologies that inform their making," rather than just snapping photos willy-nilly, or perfecting your art selfie.
The class is six weeks long with a quiz at the end of every week. The weekly subjects include, "Introduction to Seeing Through Photographs"; "One Subject, Many Perspectives"; "Documentary Photography"; "Pictures of People"; "Constructing Narratives & Challenging Histories"; and "Ocean of Images: Photography & Contemporary Culture." At the end of the course, there will be a final project where you choose an image that could go with one of the themes to show your visual literacy enlightenment—and prove you weren't just taking photos of yourself on Photobooth the whole time.
Want to step away from the selfies and learn more about art? Sign up to take the class.
Imagery via Tumblr.
Stay tuned to Milk for more art—and more selfies.

Rihanna on Good Morning America
Rihanna on Good Morning America
Rihanna was on the Good Morning America show Friday morning in NYC as she was dressed head to toe in PINK.
The 27 year old looked in good spirits as she was escorted into the studio. Joining her on the show were Steve Martin and Jim Parson as she talked about her work on the new movie Home.
In the animated movie, Rihanna is the voice for the character Gratuity 'Tip' Tucci, a teenage Earth girl who manages to escape being captured by an alien race called Boov who have taken over the planet.
The shows host asked each one of the movie's stars what home meant to them, Rihanna replied, "Barbados will always be home to me of course, but I pretty much feel like anywhere I can fall asleep!"
Asked why her character was a little bit like herself, RiRi, said, "I tried to give her a little bit of my personality, still a little sweet, and a little innocent and she's vibrant and that's what I think really connects with the fans."
Home will be released in the US on March 27.

Rihanna releases 'Towards The Sun'
Rihanna surprised fans when she released her new song 'Towards The Sun' which is off the sound track from the movie.
This is Rihanna's debut as a voice actor for DreamWorks' new computer animated comedy called 'Home'.
The movie is a story about an alien race fleeing their mortal enemy, and arriving on earth where they start to build a new life. Trying to help humanity, the aliens start kidnapping humans and relocating them to a far away desert planet, except for a teenage girl named Tip, played by Rihanna, who manages to evade capture.
Other stars lending their voices are Steve Martin, Jennifer Lopez, and Jim Parsons.
Variety magazine has said that Rihanna has written lyrics for a whole album of songs based on 'Home,' but it's unknown if the music will appear as the movie's soundtrack when it hits theaters.
'Home' is Rihanna's fifth acting credit to date. Previously she's appeared in the 2012 sci-fi flick, "Battleship" with Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgard, and Liam Neeson. And had a cameo appearance in 2014's "Annie," plus roles in "This Is The End" in 2013 and "Bring It On: All or Nothing" in 2006.
Home will be in theaters March 27th.

Quake/Tsunami Update: Socks for Japan
Posted by
A lot of the things which were reportedly happening turned out to be not much more than rumours. Several local authorities have sent groups of volunteers to hand out water etc, but because of logistical problems they have been very small groups, with places being filled up within hours of becoming available. Your best bet is to make a friend in your local city office and get them to keep you updated.
When larger-scale things come around, I'll be sure to post. For now, there are several things you can do, as well as donating food, baby supplies and blankets (most cities have at least one drop-off point for this kind of thing). For example, we found a website dedicated to sending socks to the needy (there's apparently a massive shortage). You can read about that here: http://jasonkelly.com/helpjapan/ This site accepts donations from all over the world, so it's a great idea to contact places of work/schools in your home countries to get a programme started.
I know this can be a bit frustrating for those of us who want to do real hands-on helping, but it's incredibly important stuff.

Earthquake Blood Drive Guidelines

Most Japanese cities will be holding blood drives. Beware, though, that the rules governing who can and cannot are very strict. The guy over at Mutantfrog Travel translated the Japanese Red Cross guidelines (pasted below).
The most significant of the guidelines is that people from the UK probably cannot donate, due to our history of BSE.

On October 26, the Rochester Media Association held an informational presentation at St. John Fisher College, about media analytics and applying those fundamentals in the workplace. Open to professionals and students, the presentation delve into the relatively new area of research in media management, which examines statistical data in order to understand where improvements can be done to increase engagement in websites and social media.
Ronen Shay, Visiting Professor of Media Management, introduced professionals and interested students to media research through web analytics, an increasingly important skill set for the industry, allowing them to understand major metrics and what they mean. Featured speaker, Len LaCara, an audience analyst for the Democrat and Chronicle, discussed journalism and what can be done to track news story performances and improve their engagement.
Major metrics are becoming increasingly critical for the field of media management, as the world becomes more integrated in the social network and life online. This event provided a great educational opportunity and developmental information for professionals in the Rochester community, as well as students here at the college who have an interest in the media management department.

In its third year, The PWD Forum has continued advocating for the integration of special education to the basic and secondary curriculum of the schools in the Philippines.
It has done so by reporting about how "PWD-friendly" some countries are by discussing the legislations each has in governing its citizens with disabilities (Israel, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Bahamas).
It has also shared the stories of the persons with disabilities from the said countries who didn't let their disabilities stop them (Mohamed Dalo, Jiří Ježek, Martin Kovář, Běla Hlaváčková, Petra Kurková, Townsely Roberts, Gary Russell).
The PWD Forum has enumerated the organizations present in the same countries and described how each has been doing what they can for the PWDs in their midst1 2 3 4. It has listed the disabilities recognized in the world today; discussed which of these is common in Netherlands, Czech Republic, and Bahamas; and introduced a first-of-its-kind summit that happened last February 22-24, 2017.
The PWD Forum still believes in integrating special education to the basic and secondary curriculum of the schools in the Philippines. It would help the country's economy if almost all of its citizens are skilled and qualified to meet the labor demands of globalization. And since its population is ageing, everyone is very much needed on the labor market. PWDs should then be given chances to contribute to its welfare.
"We have a responsibility to ensure that every individual has the opportunity to receive a high-quality education, from prekindergarten to elementary and secondary, to special education, to technical and higher education and beyond." ~ Jim Jeffords

Yes, I see the irony. Unless reading our Inspired Daily article is a scheduled part of your everyday work routine, there's a chance that you're procrastinating. You are doing almost anything else rather than simply getting on with what you are supposed to be doing. It happens to almost all of us at one point or another. Unfortunately, it's happening with increasing regularity to almost everybody when they are supposed to be at their most productive.
Before I get to a couple of tips to help you stay on track, let's look at some rapid fire examples of what stops us from getting started:
- Wow, I am actually really hungry, I better get a snack before I get into this
- Maybe I should read Inspired Daily, I just need some inspiration
- I work better under pressure
- I better check my messages, I am waiting for an important update
- Goodness, that benchtop is filthy, let me just wipe that down before I get started
- Oh wow! (insert name here) just got (fired/promoted/robbed/busted/hooked up/upstaged/embarrassed/harassed/arrested/awarded/rewarded…)
Let's face it, many of us have never cleaned so diligently, read so intently or absorbed as much near useless data than when we have a looming deadline. It happens – unfortunately.
Great! We've admitted there's a problem, now what?
The next step is always to try and understand a problem. Understanding the problem helps us to adopt or devise solutions that are sustainable rather than band-aid solutions that are temporary fixes at best.
Here's part of what we know. Firstly, we are very good at associating environment and stimulus with a specific response. At night I go to bed… and fall asleep. I sit on my sofa and… watch TV. I arrive at a coffee shop… I ask for coffee.
Tip: Don't take your laptop to the lounge room, park yourself in front of the TV and expect to study/work effectively if that's where you normally binge watch your new favourite show. You'll end up "just having a quick flick" and that will be that. Construct a work association in a particular place under specific conditions and get to it.
Your brain is full of chemicals and other stuff and no one's actually certain about what all of it does but we do know that when we're exposed to certain favourable stimuli, a reaction takes place that releases chemicals making us feel good. Alright, there's more to it than that but that is definitely the gist. And it's the reason why, when our mobile device pings and alerts us to the fact that someone:
- Likes our post
- Likes us
- Has sent a message
- Has tagged us or
- Generally given us some attention in some way or another
…we love it and we want more of it. The wanting more is the reason we keep our mobile devices so, SO close. All that is okay but let's face it, it is burning a hole in our productive "doing stuff" hours. Which is not okay.
Tip: Put your phone on "flight mode" while you work on that one important thing. No pings, no alerts, no messages to stop you from starting.
Tip: There is such a thing as a newsfeed eradicator. Which is great if you can't stop yourself from scrolling through your feed, robotically looking for something, anything to make you laugh or shake your fist or feel… something. Use it.
Halting procrastination is about understanding your triggers and limiting the negative effects by neutralising or controlling the cause. Remember, getting inspired is only half the battle, now it's time to go and achieve something.

If you have filed or will file for chapter 7 bankruptcy in Arizona this year, you will want to discuss any tax refund with your bankruptcy attorney. The size of the refund and the timing of the bankruptcy filing should be considered. Radix Law, in Phoenix and Scottsdale, AZ, has experienced bankruptcy attorneys helping clients make decisions throughout the bankruptcy process, including considering the implications of tax refunds.
Can I Keep My Tax Refund if I File for Bankruptcy?
In Arizona chapter 7 bankruptcy your right to a tax refund is considered an asset. Just like a savings account, investment account, or other personal property, the right to a tax refund must be listed as an asset because it is part of your bankruptcy estate. Your assets must be listed and asset exemptions can be asserted for some of those. It is best to consult with an experienced bankruptcy attorney to determine which assets are at risk.
What if I Got the Refund Before I Filed for Bankruptcy?
If you have already received a tax refund, the money may be used to pay for the costs of chapter 7 bankruptcy as well as for any reasonable and necessary expenses such as food and housing. Before you purchase an asset, a luxury item, or use the refund to pay creditors, discuss your circumstances with your bankruptcy lawyer. Many transactions prior to the bankruptcy filing can be scrutinized by the bankruptcy trustee.
Most individual bankruptcy cases filed in Arizona are chapter 7 cases. It is best to speak with an experienced bankruptcy law firm to determine which chapter of bankruptcy is right for your situation. You will also receive legal advice about your tax refund before or after the bankruptcy filing.

Business Success Reboot, Part Two
Lately, I've been exploring the question of…
"If I had to do it all over…to start over from scratch…WHAT would I do different?"
What I want to share with you today is the ONE skill I learned that made a HUGE difference in my income. And I want to share this because, when I first started out, I was told (just like I'm telling you) that I needed to understand this and I thought I had it all figured out…that I knew what I was doing.
Boy was I wrong!
My first product took me 11 months to create…and I wouldn't recommend ANYONE take that long to create products. As a matter of fact, now I create several new products every single week…but that's another story. Anyway, once I had my product created and the website designed I was ready to make some money. After all, I deserved some compensation for all the hard work I had put into creating it (the product was the Public Domain Code Book).
When I designed the site, I felt comfortable with the graphics because that's what I did for a living at the time. But there was ONE element that I held some real concern about…writing the copy for the sales letter. I looked at what a couple other websites had used and thought I'd try to model them. I was
TOLD that I needed to understand the basics of good copywriting but I ignored those who told me that.
So I wrote what I thought was some pretty clever copy in the vane of Indiana Jones meets the Public Domain and I was SO proud. I absolutely LOVED how the copy and the sales letter turned out. Now for the REAL test…sending traffic to the site to make some serious cash! I bought some traffic through Adwords (another nightmare I'll save for a future installment) and suddenly, I realized I was facing worst-case scenario…I spent a LOT of money on Adwords and made ZERO sales. I couldn't tell my wife, she would have killed me if she knew how much money I spent with Google with nothing to show.
When I began to consider what could have been wrong, the message about the importance of copy came back to haunt me. I had to face the fact that my sales copy sucked. I went on a frenzied quest to learn the basics of copywriting to see if I could even salvage all the time and effort I had put into this first project. It paid off. I re-wrote the sales page based on what I had learned and sales began to happen…a few here and there, and then more and more. Since then, that first product has sold over $50,000 and is still selling today!
What made the difference?
It wasn't the product and it wasn't the traffic…it was the SALES COPY! That's what made the difference. It was an expensive lesson to learn and one that I want to help you avoid. That's why I created, "Copywriting Basics That Work!" You'll discover how to avoid ALL the mistakes that kept my first product from selling, as well as the secrets to creating sales letters, video sales letters and e-mail promotions convert like crazy.
Do yourself a favor (and for the benefit of your current and future sales), take a few moments to watch the video I created and discover the KEY to finding true success online.
Committed to your ongoing success!
Copywriting Basics That Work
Business Success Reboot, Part One
I have been giving a LOT of thought to the question, "If I had to do it all over again in my business, what would I do the same, and what would I do different?" As I contemplated the ideas, I realized that there might be some benefit to my musings for others…especially those who are just starting out. So over the course of the next several post, we will explore the "Do's" and "Don'ts" of creating your own online business from my own experience and point of view. What I share will not be the "be all end all" type of guidance. Rather, it will be a reflection of the pitfalls and triumphs I experienced through the process of selling online.
Okay…we're going to start off with a huge lesson…definitely the BIGGEST lesson I've learned through the business-building process.
The very FIRST thing I would do differently if I were just starting my business today, would be to learn how to think like a successful entrepreneur as quickly as possible and at whatever cost I could afford! Here's why: Products, strategies, even relationships are NOT what cause you to be or become successful. While these are certainly pieces of the puzzle, they alone will not make you successful. Only a success-oriented mindset and belief system will truly create the type of business success you want and deserve.
The reason mindset is so vitally important is simple…money is a representation for a value exchange, nothing more. If a product or service "costs" $5,000, the price declares that the product has value in the amount of $5,000. Whether it actually does or not is immaterial, and certainly determined by the end-user. If you do not "see" the value in your own product or service…or, more importantly, in yourself personally, neither will anyone else. One of biggest challenges early on was recognizing that I had value as a person, and that what I had to offer was valuable. It was a process and lesson that cost me a lot of time, honesty and money to learn, but was easily the most influential "strategy" that created the biggest impact on my business.
As I worked through the process of developing my "inner game" as my friend, Pat O'Bryan, refers to it, I had to be brutally honest with myself and face some tough questions, like:
- What is my purpose in life?
- Why do I feel worthless?
- What am I afraid of? Failing? Success?
- Will I look like a fool?
- Do I really have anything to offer that people would spend money for?
- Will my parents approve?
- What if I fail?
- Am I even smart enough to do this?
- What is my reason WHY for wanting my own business?
- Is it even possible for ME to earn a decent living online, much less a phenomenal one?
- Where do I begin?
- Do I deserve to be a success?
Perhaps you have thought many of these same questions! They're energy and dream stealers and stop most people dead in their tracks. Think of them as a poison that is slowly killing your hopes and dreams. They create a self-talk that's founded on expectations and beliefs that do not even have substance or proof. One question I asked myself regularly, at times even moment by moment, was, "What evidence do I have that proves that THIS time I will fail?" That THIS time I'll lose everything!" The truth was (and is) that there is NEVER any evidence. Whether you allow yourself to focus on the past or worry about the future, you MUST realize that neither exists! Only NOW exists and success is simply a choice away.
Einstein said that insanity was doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result. The questions (and others) above are the perpetuators of the SAME THINGS! You must choose better questions and responses! Here are some examples of the types of questions and responses I used to change my mindset and business:
How can I best serve those around me? Serving others gets our eyes off of ourselves and our circumstances.
I am grateful for _____________________ (fill in the blank) in my life. I struggled a lot with depression and realized that as I remained in a place of gratitude, I wasn't depressed or fearful. The question I asked myself constantly was, "Why are you focused on what you DON'T have when you can give thanks for what you DO have?"
How can I offer $______ in value to my customers? When you begin to look at your business as offering value versus making money, your mindset shifts.
There is ALWAYS a way…always! This is one of my newer responses…it's written on my marker board above my desk. I've found that it shifts you out of a place of fear and into hopeful anticipation for one reason…there is always a way! You may not know it yet…nevertheless…there is always a way!
In the next post, I will continue with some other transformations I've experienced in mindset that will certainly benefit you as well. I will also share books and resources I've personally found to be useful and helpful in that transformational process. Until then!
Oh and by the way, I am SO grateful to have you as a reader! Please feel free to add your thoughts and comments below.
Also, if you could do me a favor and please share this with friends, family and subscribers who you feel could benefit from it most. You can do so by re-tweeting, sharing it on Facebook and on Digg! Thanks!
If I Had to Do It All Over Again
I've been giving a lot of thought lately about what I would do differently in my business if I had to do it all over. I realized that there are some elements of my business that I would handle exactly the same, but others I would definitely change. So what I thought I would do is over the next several blog posts, I am going to walk through the lessons I've learned over the past several years of selling online (my first "sales" site was launched in 2002). I will share my successes and mistakes in every area of the business…from product creation and affiliate selling to JVs and traffic.
My hope (and goal) is to help you avoid the same mistakes I made and benefit from the strategies and methods that worked. I will share what I would do right now if I was starting over. The first post will be ready in the next day or two!

Our Lady's College shares and promotes the Vision for Religious Education articulated by Brisbane Catholic Education and the wider church. This vision includes the two dimensions of formation – namely of students' religious literacy and their personal faith:
Our Lady's College aspires to educate and form students who are challenged to live the gospel of Jesus Christ and who are literate in the Catholic and broader Christian tradition so that they might participate critically and authentically in faith contexts and wider society.
The Vision for Religious Education challenges students to be a religious voice in the world. The Vision gives greater prominence and a renewed orientation to the critical interpretation and evaluation of culture. Through vibrant and engaging Religious education, students become active constructors of culture rather than passive consumers. Religious Education at Our Lady's seeks to develop the religious literacy of students in light of the Catholic Christian tradition so that they might participate critically and authentically in contemporary culture.
At this College, religious literacy includes ways of talking, acting, creating, communicating, critiquing, evaluating, participating, ritualizing, theologizing, worshipping, reading, reflecting, and writing with others in a variety of religious and secular contexts. Examination of the sample units of work attached, for example, will reveal how, in all units of work teachers and students work to integrate the two dimensions of Religious Education (the classroom teaching and learning of Religion and the Religious life of the school), so that religious literacy and faith formation can complement each other as students seek to find meaning in their place and time. The integration of both dimensions in the daily life of the school includes prayer in every classroom to start the day and the timetabling of the mandatory hours of classroom based engagement with the religion curriculum at the College.

Ramírez, Rafael and Ravetz, Jerome (2011) Feral Futures: Zen and Aesthetics. Futures, 43 (4). pp. 478-487.
Studies of 'futures' have hitherto focused on those that are predictable and 'tame', and on those that are unpredictable and 'wild'. Here we consider a new class, the 'feral'; which are expectations that things might be made worse by risk-based actions. The type case is the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island, where operatives assumed that what was unfolding was of a sort described in their manual, and discovered too late that responses based on that assumption were making the situation worse. In this paper we review the idea of 'feral' and how it applies to futures, and discuss the different modes of engagement (or non-engagement) with feral futures. To make feral futures manageable, we suggest two ideas from other spheres of activity. Zen is a practice and philosophy which enables us to drop our preconceptions and thereby to respond to emerging, unprecedented situations. Aesthetics articulates a particular way to sense and appreciate realities intuitively, again enabling a direct response. The combination of Zen and aesthetics with scenario practice in the tradition of Pierre Wack provides a promising mode of response to emerging feral futures.

Custom Logo Bags
Whether it is a function of convenience or the drive to reduce the impact on the environment, promotional bags are a popular way to build a brand or promote an event. From school mascot backpacks to business briefcases and tote bags for awareness events and trade shows, promo bags shine. Carrying a large imprint area, promotional bags are a best bet when looking for value.
Businesses can find a wide variety of uses for promotional bags. Custom printed lunch bags are perfect for employee appreciation, displaying a message of appreciation to staff members each time they enjoy their mid day meal. Retail quality messenger bags and briefcases can truly reward an employee of the month, motivating them each time they make their commute to and from the office. And of course, trade shows are made easier when attendees can carry stuff in a promotional tote bag, displaying a logo or sponsor advertisement as they walk the floor.
Schools and organizations get a boost from using promotional bags to highlight their mascots and pride. Building community interest in school events through mascot printed drawstring backpacks and duffel bags give school teams and organizations a fund raising tool that will generate support. Awareness organizations can reward participants and donors while helping the environment through reusable tote bags and shopper totes. These handy promo bags will give participants a source of pride and convenience as they use them for shopping and to carry supplies to the beach and park.
