FitFluential, not a sports authority but someone else I follow, asked who had done their "#plankaday." I coincidentally had done a plank that day so I raised my hand in the twitter world. I realized this must be some sort of "thing" I was unaware was going on in which people out there in the fit blogging interwebs were doing planks every day and I thought to myself, much like with the #fitabs challenge, oh, I can totally do that! I'm social media savvy and plank savvy all in one, watch me.
So I quietly did a plank here, a plank there, a few planks each day, no big. Yesterday after work I went for a long run and returned home contemplating stretching (ha! yea right) but reminded myself of the #plankaday challenge that may or may not be going on and got right to it. Then I saw a tweet from social media and FitFluential grand dame @KellyOlexa who had done not one but ten #plankadays. The gauntlet had been thrown. I was doing 60 second planks so completing 10 meant that I did 10 minutes of planking (hello, new verb) yesterday - that seems like a lot of minutes and only a little bit of minutes all at once.
My only real concern is, since I do not in fact know the rules of this #plankaday challenge or if, in fact, a 'challenge' in the classic sense of the word truly exists...how will I know when it ends? Will it ever end? Will I be doing ten minutes of planking a day for the rest of my life for fear of failing the #plankaday challenge? What will my grandchildren think?
Anyway, moral of the story here is: social media has kept me from obesity yet again. Thanks!
In other twitting (hello, new adjective) news, the evening I noticed the #plankaday trend, was that a top trending item? No. But #YouCanCheatIf was. Who are these people?! That is a conversation you have with your girlfriends on your 4th round of margaritas, not broadcast on the internet to complete strangers!
|who knows what I'll be tweeting about after these!

Today we will see how to find and remove file duplicates in Linux Mint. This is a very commonly required task for anyone who stores a bunch of photos, documents and other files in various locations. Over time, several copies of the same file can accumulate because you don't want to change the originals. Here is how you can find and remove duplicate files.
RECOMMENDED: Click here to fix Windows errors and optimize system performance
In Linux, there are several ways to find file duplicates. But the most useful tool is fdupes, a console app. Don't be scared with the command line; it is very easy to use this application. In Linux Mint, you can install it from the default repository, no external PPA or software source is required.
To find and remove file duplicates in Linux Mint, do the following.
- Open main menu and go to Administration - Software Manager.
Enter your password to continue with Software Manager.
- In Software Manager, type fdupes in the search box and press the Enter key: Click the fdupes search result and install it.
- Now, go to the folder where you want to find duplicates in. Open Terminal in that folder.
- To find file duplicates, type the command
fdupes -r ./
The -r switch tells the app to go through subdirectories. The ./ portion makes the app find duplicates in the current folder.
So, the whole command means "find file duplicates in the current directory and its subdirectories".
In the output, you will see all file duplicates:
- To find and delete file duplicates, type the following command:
fdupes -r -d ./
The additional switch -d tells the app to ask the user which files he wants to retain on the drive and which files should be removed. This is how it looks in action:
For each set of file duplicates, the app shows a list of files and asks which file to keep.
Fdupes is a reliable and easy to use application which allows you to keep your files organized and recovers valuable drive space. It supports a number of other options which you can find in its manual page. In the terminal app, you can type the command man fdupes to learn about them.
These are worth mentioning:
-S --size - use this switch to print out the size of duplicate files.
-s --symlinks - follow symlinked directories
-H --hardlinks - normally, when two or more files point to the same disk area, they are treated as non-duplicates. This option will change this behavior.
-m --summarize - summarize duplicate file information.
That's it.

|country profile - KUWAIT
|Britain oversaw foreign relations and defense for the ruling Kuwaiti AL-SABAH dynasty from 1899 until independence in 1961. Kuwait was attacked and overrun by Iraq on 2 August 1990. Following several weeks of aerial bombardment, a US-led, UN coalition began a ground assault on 23 February 1991 that liberated Kuwait in four days. Kuwait spent more than $5 billion to repair oil infrastructure damaged during 1990-91. The AL-SABAH family has ruled since returning to power in 1991 and reestablished an elected legislature that in recent years has become increasingly assertive. The country witnessed the historic election in 2009 of four women to its National Assembly. Amid the 2010-11 uprisings and protests across the Arab world, stateless Arabs, known as bidun, staged small protests in February and March 2011 demanding citizenship, jobs, and other benefits available to Kuwaiti nationals. Youth activist groups - supported by opposition legislators - rallied repeatedly in 2011 for the prime minister's dismissal amid allegations of widespread government corruption. Demonstrators forced the prime minister to resign in late 2011. In late 2012, Kuwait witnessed unprecedented protests in response to the Amir's changes to the electoral law by decree reducing the number of votes per person from four to one. The opposition, led by a coalition of Sunni Islamists, tribalists, some liberals, and myriad youth groups, largely boycotted legislative elections in 2012 and 2013 ushering in legislatures more amenable to the government's agenda. Since 2006, the Amir has dissolved the National Assembly on five occasions (the Constitutional Court annulled the Assembly in June 2012 and again in June 2013) and shuffled the cabinet over a dozen times, usually citing political stagnation and gridlock between the legislature and the government.

|Trafficking in persons:
|current situation: Kuwait is a destination country for men and women subjected to forced labor and, to a lesser degree, forced prostitution; men and women migrate from India, Egypt, Bangladesh, Syria, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Nepal, Iran, Jordan, Ethiopia, Ghana, Iraq, Lebanon, and Kenya to work in Kuwait, most of them in the domestic service, construction, and sanitation sectors; although most of these migrants enter Kuwait voluntarily, upon arrival some are subjected to conditions of forced labor by their sponsors and labor agents, including nonpayment of wages, long working hours without rest, deprivation of food, threats, physical or sexual abuse, and restrictions on movement, such as the withholding of passports or confinement to the workplace
tier rating: Tier 3 - Kuwait does not fully comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking and is not making sufficient efforts to do so; no efforts were made to prosecute or convict trafficking offenders using the 2013 anti-trafficking law or other laws addressing trafficking crimes; victim protection measures remained weak particularly due to a lack of proactive victim identification procedures and non-enforcement of the law prohibiting sponsors from withholding workers' passports; no system was developed to refer victims to protective services; the government initiated investigations of companies that brought in large numbers of unskilled foreign workers under false promises of work and that illegally sold visas (2014)

House Republicans are setting the stage for a showdown with President Obama over the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline, which the administration has conveniently delayed a final decision on until after the 2012 election.
In an effort to draft legislation to extend the payroll tax cut passed late last year, House GOP leading are reportedly planning to attach language that would allow construction on the pipeline to move proceed. Most analysts estimate that the pipeline could immediately create about 20,000 jobs directly, and hundreds of thousands more indirectly. Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper has said approving the construction of the pipeline, which will originate in Canada, is a "complete no-brainer."
President Obama, however, has threatened to "reject" any payroll tax legislation that included "extraneous" provisions such as the Keystone pipeline. "I don't expect to have to veto it because I expect they're going to have enough sense over on Capitol Hill to do the people's business, and not try to load it up with a bunch of politics," he said on Wednesday.
One could argue that creating jobs for Americans in a struggling economy is quintessentially "the people's business." Many suspect that the president's decision was designed purely to appease a prominent constituency — environmental groups — as his reelection campaign swings into full gear.
To get a sense of how stunningly out of touch the president is when it comes to the Keystone pipeline, consider that he finds himself on the wrong side of an issue on which the AFL-CIO and Republicans both agree. Here's Mark Ayers, President of the Building and Construction Trades Department at the AFL-CIO, writing in the Huffington Post:
For America's skilled craft construction professionals, any discussion of the Keystone XL project begins and ends with one word: JOBS. Today, roughly 14% of the American construction workforce is unemployed — which is significantly higher than the overall national unemployment rate of 9%.
Throughout America's Heartland, the Keystone Pipeline represents the prospect for 20,000 immediate jobs, and as many as 500,000 indirect jobs via a strong economic multiplier effect…
In total, the Keystone XL pipeline project has been subjected to tremendous amounts of scrutiny through the National Environmental Policy Act, which includes review by ten federal agencies, as well as numerous state and local agency reviews. The State Department SDEIS has concluded that the proposed Keystone XL pipeline would have "limited adverse environmental impact during construction and operation" and that it would significantly strengthen U.S. economic security.
But most importantly, it is America's workers who are clamoring for the expedited approval of this important project.
As President Obama has rightfully declared when it comes to the creation of jobs, "WE CAN'T WAIT."
And as House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R., Va.) said Thursday: "If the President is serious about his commitment to economic growth and jobs in this country, he'll sign this bill."

Membership Marketing Strategies: You Have a Membership Site – Now What?! Get New Members!
You've spent time, effort, and a lot of money creating a brand new membership site.
Now, all you have to do is fill it with members!
The problem is that membership marketing strategies are a dime a dozen… so how do you know which one to pick?
Well, here's a tip: you don't have to decide which one to commit to. Instead, the most effective membership marketing strategies are those that are intertwined and rely on each other's strength to succeed.
Here's how it works:
Table of Contents
- First Check: Make Sure Your Membership Message Is Solid
- A Membership Site Launch Is Composed of Many Individual Marketing Strategies
- Phase I: Prep Work!
- Phase II: Pre-Launch And Promote!
- Phase III: The Launch Itself
- Look At What Worked and What Didn't
- The Most Important Membership Marketing Strategies Of All? Doing It!
First Check: Make Sure Your Membership Message Is Solid
The ideation process itself – making sure your idea can survive in "the real world" – is worth revisiting before you even begin to look at specific membership marketing strategies.
Because if the foundation isn't solid, you'll find that nothing ever really "clicks".
That's why we place so much emphasis on the big picture of your membership site – from ideation to launch. Following an organic process to formulate and test your idea before you present it to the world might mean the difference between absolute success and failure for your membership site.
You'll know you hit on the right messaging for your membership when you've made a few sales. Even if you have a lot of well meaning friends who say it's brilliant, until you get someone to whip out their credit card… it's still unproven.
You don't need to have a huge launch of your membership site to confirm you're on the right track, if you get enough interest and sign ups from your immediate community.
When your membership idea is solid, it's time to find the perfect balance of membership marketing strategies for your launch…
A Membership Site Launch Is Composed of Many Individual Marketing Strategies
Your job is to fit them all together to make sure they work seamlessly!
You can break this down into bite-sized action steps by following the three distinct phases of a membership site launch:
- The Prep Time
- The Pre-Launch
- The Launch Itself
Phase I: Prep Work!
The "prep" time is devoted to creating your launch materials – landing pages, promotional graphics, emails, etc. All of this creative "grunt work" is done during this time, to ensure nothing has to be created during the launch itself. (Although writing an extra email or social media post during the launch is totally normal!)
Here are the five main areas to prep for your launch:
1. Write Out The Launch Flow
Take some time to create a solid workflow, from the first point of contact through the membership purchase.
This gives you the ability to see the big picture of where your members will come from. It'll also give you a practical outline for all of the other tasks that have to be done.
You can start pretty vague and just hit the main points at first. However, as you continue to think it through, you'll find that you can break down each main section into several smaller parts, each more detailed than the last.
I recommend mind-mapping this launch flow, including: the email marketing funnel, the social media posts to each of your platforms, and the pre-launch content you'll be releasing as a teaser.
2. Create Your Content
You know where you're starting and where you want to end up… now it's time to start crafting your content!
Keep referring back to your flowchart from the previous step to make sure each of the main areas is accounted for, including:
- Email sequences that help to sell the membership
- Writing video scripts, blog posts, or preview modules for your membership site
- Social media promotional copy (for your groups and pages)
- Facebook ads or other paid advertising (see Facebook ad examples here)
- The membership site's sales & thank you pages
- Affiliate marketing swipe copy
- Content for doing a live sales webinar or livestream
There are many different schools of thought when it comes to using free content to give potential customers a "taste" of your paid membership.
We believe that one of the best ways to get someone to buy a paid online course or membership is to get them to try The Login Optin™ where they get a free mini-course.
3. Create Your Graphics
Graphic Design 101, here!
Make sure you're staying on brand and keeping everything professional.
If you don't have a professional designer already on call, now is the perfect time to team up with one!
For many of our projects, we work with a professional graphic designer who helps to create the overall look and feel we want to achieve. It's an investment, but the end result always pays off!
But for the smaller design needs during launches (Facebook ads, social posts, etc.), we really enjoy working with the company Design Pickle.
The turnaround is fairly quick for each design, and they're easy to work with on any revisions or edits.
As a bonus, you can share the professional project branding with designers from Design Pickle, Fiverr, etc. to help make their job easier.
4. Set Up Your Sequences
With your graphics and content ready to roll, you can start building the necessary sequences inside your tag-based CRM.
Here's where your flowchart is definitely going to be a lifesaver!
You might create several different sequences, but the two main ones are:
- The Promotional Sequences – these are automated to build awareness and enthusiasm for your new membership site.
- The Purchase Sequence – this determines what happens when someone purchases a membership. The initial welcome email(s) are a part of this, along with motivational emails you might want to include to keep students engaged throughout the first few days/weeks.
Another great sequence to set up is your shopping cart abandonment sequence. This can help to capture some of those inevitable no-shows.
5. Set Up Your Website Pages… and do a trial run!
When your website pages are live and have the order forms in place, you have one last job: testing.
If possible, have a friend go from initial opt-in to purchase as if they were an actual customer.
Inevitably, there will be a glitch or two that you'll be glad to have caught before it's all open to the public!
Phase II: Pre-Launch And Promote!
The pre-launch is your actual promotional time. You can use this time to offer a special "pre-order" price incentive, and the main purpose is to get the word out!
So at this point, you're actually reaching out with a variety of membership marketing strategies to build awareness with your soon-to-be new members:
Using Paid Advertising To Build Your Membership Base
Any type of paid ads can work, depending on where your people hang out.
This strategy, of course, works best if you can segment your ads to speak to different audiences:
- Cold audiences who have never heard of you before
- Re-targeted audiences who've been on your site before, but have never made a purchase
- Current clients who are familiar with your work
We do a combination of all three, which helps us talk to people at the right level. If they're already familiar with us, it's much easier to tell them about our paid offerings.
On the other hand, we'd never expect a total stranger to click on an ad and buy something right away. So we don't send cold traffic to a sales page.
Instead, we run ads on the big networks (including Facebook, Google AdWords, and Pinterest) to get people to check out the free content that we create for our pre-launch.
This is also a great way to get people to register to attend a free webinar, where they can get some great nuggets and experience your teaching style before they sign up for your paid membership site.
Social Media Posting – Tell The World!
Although you can reach a bigger audience with paid ads, never underestimate the power of using your own social channels.
A single, well-crafted post can trigger hundreds (or thousands) of shares and bring in a truckload of unexpected revenue.
One thing to keep in mind when it comes to social media is that not everyone will see your posts. So make sure to schedule a bunch of different posts at different times, to make sure that people know you're opening registration for your membership site!
Write A Blog Post For Yourself and Others
Use your own blog to bring in organic traffic and awareness of your new membership site.
It's tempting to write the post as if it were an alternate sales page… but we've found that it's more effective to write the blog post as a free resource that naturally leads into your membership program.
We used this technique when we wrote a blog about Email Sequences That Sell. Our paid program became the natural call-to-action at the end.
This membership marketing strategy is not a "one and done", because content marketing is something you'll want to do on a regular basis. But if you can craft a killer blog post that ties into your launch content, it can become an evergreen pillar that attracts shares and new visitors month after month.
One example of a post like this is our 38 Things No One Talks About When Launching An Online Course. It has 56 responses and tons of social shares!
Invite Your Email List To Your Join Your Membership Site
You've spent time working on building up your email list. Now's the time to use it!
Sending a series of emails to share the good news can be so powerful… especially if you can resist the urge to get all sales-y on your subscribers!
Membership site marketing doesn't need to be complicated, but similarly to social media posting… not all of your subscribers will see your email announcements.
So be sure to schedule more than one email with different touch points, so you don't get people emailing you and asking why they missed the registration deadline for your membership offer!
Include Your Affiliates
If you're established enough to have an affiliate program already in place, you can take advantage of these promotional allies, too!
Equip them with the graphics and swipe copy they need to present your membership site in its best light to their own followers.
It helps to get the date for your membership site promotion in their calendar early, so they can prepare and make the most of the launch buzz.
Phase III: The Launch Itself
The launch itself begins the moment your order forms start accepting purchases and you start seeing the sales roll in.
Each of the membership marketing strategies you use should be balanced according to the length of the launch.
For example, you need a short enough launch window so that your prospective members feel a sense of urgency ("sign up before our registration closes!").
However, your launch (and pre-launch) should last long enough to give you time to woo your clients and really impart the benefit of the program to them.
Even though your prep work is done… you'll still be busy!
This can be a really tumultuous time… because even though you've done your prep work, there's still a lot to be done.
Stay present to answer questions and keep an eye on the responses you're getting. Often, you might see the need to tweak the sales page to clarify a point, or maybe you decide to add an email into the sequence to address some concerns.
And, if you're using affiliates, definitely check in with them and make sure to offer them encouragement and motivation.
Of course, no matter how many launches we go through – or how confident we are in our membership marketing strategies – it'll always be a bit of a stressful time. And that's just the nature of the beast.
(For a refreshing, honest look at what it feels like to run a launch, take the time to read Nathalie's post 38 Things No One Talks About When Launching An Online Course.)
Look At What Worked and What Didn't
Launching a membership site is something that's there for the long term of your online business.
If you're already seasoned in your marketing and copywriting efforts (and have done your due diligence during the ideation process!), this might be an extremely successful time for your business.
But you can always improve from your lessons learned from launch to launch.
If the results aren't what you were hoping, take time to revisit that flowchart and find out where you can improve.
Maybe your ads generated a ton of traffic, but the sales page just didn't convert.
Or maybe your ads and email didn't get any clicks.
Maybe you got a lot of purchases, but were then deluged with refund requests (hey, it happens!). If this is the case, you might have a product that actually doesn't fit with the market, or maybe your advertising didn't properly represent the membership program.
In either case, always ask the people who are refunding why they aren't sticking with the program. You might also want to check out this member retention tips.
Keep a list of "what worked" and "what didn't work" to improve on for next time!
The Most Important Membership Marketing Strategies Of All? Doing It!
Launching a new membership site is so exciting. No matter what happens, you'll be filled to the brim with new ideas to try out for next time.
The chance to change the world is literally sitting just beyond your fingertips…

`Amber' aids in rescue
California law-enforcement officials credited their newly implemented "Amber
Alert" system with aiding in the recovery of the two high-school girls kidnapped
in Lancaster Thursday morning by an armed man.
Amber Alert uses various media, including TV and radio, to almost
instantly relay information on suspects and victims and raise awareness of an
ongoing search.
Police reported Thursday that the girls had been rescued and the suspect,
identified as Roy Ratliffe -- already wanted as a rape suspect in Nevada -- had
been killed in a shootout with police.
The kidnapping was California's first use of the alert system, named for a
Texas girl who was abducted and later murdered.

Blunt SARS Warning For U.S., Europe
Tommy Thompson, who was in
to meet European Union officials, said despite best efforts to contain severe acute respiratory syndrome, he expected it to cause deaths in areas that so far are unaffected.
"I am not confident at all. ... I do not think SARS is going to go away,"
said. "Even though it may level off now it could come back in the fall and then you can, I think, anticipate that you will have deaths in all the continents.
"The virus knows no borders whatsoever."
More than 7,800 people worldwide have been infected - mostly in Asia - since the disease first surfaced in southern China in November. At least 662 people have died.
The United States has reported 67 cases to the World Health Organization but no fatalities.
About 36 cases have been reported in Europe, with no fatalities.
Later Tuesday, a WHO spokeswoman said it was too early to tell whether SARS was a seasonal virus.
"We have only seen SARS for a couple of months and it is too early to know if it will establish a seasonal pattern," Maria Cheng said. "There is no evidence to tell one way or
the other."
Thompson, whose department oversees the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said he had allocated more than $20 million to set up an early warning system aiming to stop the spread of the disease.
WHO said over the weekend that most of the world's outbreaks of the disease are subsiding thanks in large part to strict isolation of patients in affected areas.
Thompson reiterated that people should not travel to affected areas until the virus was brought under control there.
"I would strongly recommend that you do not travel, unless it is absolutely necessary," he said.
And while SARS has cut a deadly path through China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, it hasn't affected Thailand much, except for the tourist trade, reports CBS' Christopher Glenn. The Thai government says fear of SARS caused tourism to plunge 50 percent last month. So it's offering a hundred thousand dollars to anyone who can prove he or she contracted the virus during a visit to Thailand.
