Our coalitions:
- Stakeholder Group on Ageing
- Action/2015 campaign
- Transformative Human Development
- Beyond 2015
- Voices of the Marginalised
- Non-communicable disease
(c) Paul Ong/HelpAge International
Stakeholder Group on Ageing
We have established the Stakeholder group on Ageing - a strong and effective advocacy partnership - with the NGO Committee on Ageing in NY which includes AARP and HelpAge USA, AARP, IFA, INPEA, Gray Panthers and others.
As part of the Stakeholder Group on Ageing we have influenced the sessions of the Open Working Group and made sure ageing was reference in the final outcome document.
As the sustainable development process, move into intergovernmental discussions will continue to work as the Stakeholder Group on Ageing to influence the outcome of the process.
The Action/2015 campaign was set up in 2014 to provide a powerful opportunity for collective and decentralised large-scale, public-facing actions. It is aimed at compelling governments at all levels to commit to ambitious and transformative action to end poverty, address inequality and ensure sustainable development.
The HelpAge Secretariat together with organisations within the HelpAge network and the Stakeholder Group on Ageing is actively engaging with the Action/2015 campaign around specific moments. Our aim is to enable citizens to engage in a series of global activities in 2015 that will raise awareness about what older people would like to see in the SDGs and for older and younger people to be able to talk about their vision of the world they want to live in.
Want to know more about the Action/2015 campaign.
Transformative Human Development
With the Major Group on Children and Youth, we are working to promote the idea of Transformative Human Development including, how to promote development for people of all ages.
We have developed a hybrid of the Commonwealth Youth Index and the Global AgeWatch Index, which highlights the fact that youth and older people are concerned with the same issues; income security, health, education as well as enabling environments and participation. These ideas have been promoted at events in New York and Nairobi.
Read more about Transformative Human Development.
Beyond 2015
We are part of the global civil society campaign Beyond 2015. Beyond 2015 is pushing for a strong and legitimate framework to succeed the Millennium Development Goals and brings together more than 800 civil society organisations in over 100 countries around the world.
We support Beyond 2015's call for a single universal development framework which takes into account poverty eradication, environmental sustainability, inequality, human rights and global responsibility.
We believe older people are contributors to sustainable development and poverty eradication. Lifetime inequalities of income, education, employment, health, disability and gender are likely to increase with age and must be recognised.
Find out more about and get involved in the Beyond 2015 online discussion.
Voices of the marginalised
To ensure the voices of older people and people living with disabilities are included in the post-2015 discussions, HelpAge is working with Sightsavers, Action on Disability in Development (ADD) and Alzheimer's Disease International (ADI), on a research and policy project called "Voices of the Marginalised".
The project also includes collaboration with the Institute of Development Studies and the Overseas Development Institute.
Find out more about the research and our work with disability groups:

- Inequalities: Ageing and disability in the post-2015 development agenda (2.2mb)
- Ageing and disability briefing for roundtable at the High Level Panel meeting in Monrovia (196kb)
Non-communicable diseases
We are addressing non-communicable diseases and disability in the post-2015 process through our work with the NCD Alliance, Handicap International and Alzheimer's Disease International.
As part of this work, we have developed a joint paper "Sustaining equitable human development and addressing non-communicable diseases and disability throughout the life-course".
The paper puts forward a number of recommendations for the post-2015 agenda, including measuring healthy life expectancy across the life-course.

(The book) weaves together economic analysis, political science, history, public choice theory and journalism to expose the effects of the IRS and the income tax system on individuals.
Warrenton, VA (PRWEB) April 30, 2014
"Income taxes are political and economic weapons of mass destruction used by governments against their own people," writes author Lawrence Hunter in the introduction to his new book about the United States and the Internal Revenue Service. This former economic advisor warns that the IRS compromises personal privacy, mocks the Constitution and threatens the promise of liberty in favor of collectivism and tyranny.
"Taxed to Death: A Concerned Citizen's Guide to How the Income Tax & IRS Harm Everyone in America" weaves together economic analysis, political science, history, public choice theory and journalism to expose the effects of the IRS and the income tax system on individuals, who seem to be willing to give up personal freedom and individuality in favor of the "greater good" of society. Hunter details what he sees as the problems of income tax and what he calls its "unseen dangers," such as less capital investment, fewer jobs and reduced prosperity. He calls for Americans to educate themselves and work to restore personal privacy, individual liberty and economic opportunity by abolishing the IRS and eliminating income tax in the spirit of the original American experiment of democracy.
Author Lawrence Hunter served as a White House policy advisor to President Reagan, was chief economist of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, chief of staff of the congressional Join Economic Committee, and chief economist, speechwriter and political advisor for Jack Kemp at Empower America. He has written a weekly column for Forbes, published in major newspapers and periodicals and done research for think tanks.
Hunter serves as president of the Social Security Institute, a nonprofit seniors' advocacy organization, and has been an assistant professor at the University of Maryland-College Park. His Ph.D. is from the University of Minnesota, and he graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He and his wife have nine children and seven grandchildren.

You will find tools to auto-shuffle layout icons over your pages.
Using these icons, you can apply a new random layout to each page size independently, or across the spread. The options are:
The auto-layout icons over your canvas are responsive to your current layout.
If your layout respects the page gutter (middle of the pages), all options are available.
If your layout contains an image straddling the gutter line, then only two options will be available:
Because an image exists on both the left and right side, you aren't able to shuffle only one side at a time.
To try out new layouts on each side separately, first click the auto-layout option to shuffle the layout to a new spread respecting the center line. All options will be made available again.
Similarly, when an image straddles the gutter, the Layout options will automatically display Spread options exclusively:
Again, reshuffle the layout create layouts on separate sides the Left and Right side layouts will then be available..

Drew, if you haven't gotten around to trying brisket yet in your BGE, here's a recipe that's hard to beat:
Mix equal parts black pepper, white pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and Lowry's Seasoned Salt in a shaker and keep on hand. Using a "packer-style" brisket that has the fat cap intact on one side, dust the whole shebang (12 lb cut is ideal) with the dry rub and lay directly on the smoking grill fat-side up for 45 minutes at 225-250F; then remove, wrap loosely in heavy-gauge foil, and return to the smoking grill fat-side down; continue smoking at the same temp for a total time of one-half hour per pound (including the time it was naked - unwrapped). Remove using a pair of welding gloves, open a corner of one end of the foil packet and pour off the rendered fat, usually about a cup. Let sit for at least an hour before slicing. I do that chore with the fat still intact, and trim it off each slice as I go; slice the meat in 1/4" slices. Serve with a red BBQ sauce, ranch-style beans, potato salad and cole slaw. For the wine, I like a Grenache, whether French (Rhone) or Spanish; haven't found a U.S. Grenach that's suitable.
The dry rub recipe is from a 1989 edition of Field & Stream magazine, where it was recommended for venison. Have since used it as a universal rub for brisket, venison, turkey, chicken, beef steaks..... probably leaving something out. Apply the rub only once before you begin cooking.
For pork loin/butt, I like a dry rub of equal parts garlic powder, onion powder and white pepper, with a Pinot Noir as the wine.

I got a kick out of this report by the Daily Caller:
Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren appeared to stammer and waffle Wednesday when a reporter asked her if it would be ethical if her hypothetical vice president's son served on the board of a foreign company.
"No," Warren told a reporter at a campaign stop in New Hampshire before pausing to reconsider her answer. Warren added, "I don't know. I mean I'd have to go back and look at the details."
For Warren, this was less a question of ethics than a question of whether (or how hard) she wants to go after Joe Biden over his son's entanglement in possible Ukraine-related corruption. The temptation would be to use the issue against Joe Biden. However, there are reasons why Warren might choose not to.
First, Democrats want the entire focus of the Ukrainian inquiry to be on President Trump. If Warren goes after Biden on this matter, it will divert the focus from Trump. Warren does not want to be seen as pushing what will be Trump's major talking point in the coming weeks (and maybe months) — Joe Biden's corruption.
Second, Warren would like to be seen as a unifying figure within her party. Personal attacks on Biden would run counter to that objective.
Third, Warren may believe that Biden is going to fade without any need for her to attack him vigorously. Most of the smart people I know believe that Biden can't get across the finish in the Democratic race. Warren, who is also smart, may share this belief.
Given the disadvantages of attacking Biden for corruption, it makes sense for Warren to forebear if she is pretty sure she will overtake the former vice president anyway. But Warren, who keeps railing against corruption, didn't want, when asked a direct question, to take a cavalier attitude to the corruption issue that Biden faces.
Hence the "stammering."
On the merits of the ethics question, I don't know if there's anything wrong with a vice president's son serving on the board of a foreign country [note: I meant foreign company]. But I'm pretty sure there's something wrong with the vice president taking a lead role in America's dealings with a foreign country with which his son is engaged in business — as Joe Biden did with Ukraine and, as I understand it, China.

Tax allowances in the Czech Republic 2011 – 2015
Since 2014, the Czech Republic has been obliged to publish an analysis of tax allowances. This requirement stems from the 2011/85/EU Directive.
News published in 2014.
Since 2014, the Czech Republic has been obliged to publish an analysis of tax allowances. This requirement stems from the 2011/85/EU Directive.
International Conference - Gambling in the Czech Republic and its New Regulatory Framework (Thursday 9th October 2014, Lichtenštejnský (Liechtenstein) Palace, U Sovových mlýnů 506/4 Praha 1). The conference is organized by the Ministry of Finance in cooperation with the Secretariat of the Government Council for Drug Policy Coordination.
The Ministry of Finance has gradually started to disclose information required by the COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 2011/85/EU of 8 November 2011 on requirements for budgetary frameworks of the Member States since 28 February.
The Ministry of Finance releases a detailed reconciliation table showing the methodology of transition between cash-based data (or the equivalent figures from public accounting if cash-based data are not available) and data based on the ESA 95 standard (see the requirement of Chapter II, Article 3, paragraph 2, point b) of the aforementioned Directive) in line with the results of the Task Force on the implications of Council Directive 2011/85/EU on the collection and dissemination of fiscal data.
Following this information, the Ministry will introduce new presentation on its website at the end of February, within which fiscal and statistical data required by the Directive will be released gradually.

Yes, it's a one-trick pony, but it's a pony that can fold itself in half, which is something you ought to see. (If you can make your way past the barrage of advertising, anyway.)

The same eruption that famously destroyed the ancient Roman city of Pompeii also covered a number of other sites, including an exquisite luxury villa at Oplontis. After nearly 2,000 years of burial, artifacts from this archaeological site, never previously available to the public, will be displayed in an exceptional exhibit at the Museum of the Rockies— Leisure and Luxury in the Age of Nero: The Villas of Oplontis near Pompeii.
Register for a course designed to engage with material from this outstanding MOR exhibition.
These current listings are tentative and subject to change.
ARTH 492: Leisure & Luxury in the Age of Nero: the Villas of Oplontis near Pompeii (second summer session) - 3 credits
This course will use as its focus of study the Roman exhibit of the same name that will be at the Museum of the Rockies concurrently with the class. The bulk of the material, which includes fresco fragments and marble sculpture from the villa's gardens, has been in storage and archives and never previously exhibited. The exhibit explores the lavish lifestyle and economic interests of ancient Rome's wealthiest citizens along the shores of the Bay of Naples from the first century BC until AD 79 when Mount Vesuvius erupted and buried many towns and villas in the region. The museum exhibit will serve as the principle "text" and also the location of the class, for student to study the colonnaded architecture, monumental wall paintings, impressive gardens, and sculptures of Villa A, all of which combined to "stage" the villa's elite owners for an audience of peers and rivals.
ARTZ 105RA: Visual Language: Drawing (all sections) - 3 credits
This drawing fundamental class will regularly use the exhibition as a source for constructing drawings exploring the fundamental language of drawing.
ARTZ 109RA: Visual Language: Comprehensive Foundations (sections 001 + 002-007) - 3 credits
This 2D/3D design fundamental class will regularly engage with the exhibit to better understand contemporary strategies of 2D and 3D design elements and principles through traditions of decoration in ancient Roman times.
ERTH 102CS: Oplontis in Ash and Ink - 3 sections - 1 credit each
ERTH 102CS-00X Oplontis: the Setting (Aug 29-Sept 26)
To fully appreciate the significance of past volcanic activity in and around Italy, the first course will delve into the modern geologic/tectonic setting of the region. It will combine this understanding of the physical geologic evidence with literary evidence about the eruption and life in the region during the Empire. We will also look at the social framework and cultural setting at the time of the eruption. Furthermore, we will consider texts that describe villas like those at Oplontis (Pliny's letters, Statius' Silvae) and compare these literary landscapes with what is preserved of physical landscapes.
ERTH 102CS-00X Oplontis: the Eruption (Oct 3-31)
The second course will focus on the event of the eruption itself. It will examine exactly what happened on an hourly basis, and consider how different regions around the Bay of Naples were affected. Additionally, an enormous amount of the physical evidence we use to reconstruct life in the Roman Empire depends upon the unique preservation that resulted from Vesuvius' eruption in AD 79. Understanding the particular geologic conditions that created different states of preservation is integral to comprehending the material evidence we rely upon in reconstructing the past. For example, in this course we will explore how the preservation at Pompeii differs from that at Oplontis as a result of geologic conditions (structural setting, stratigraphy of geologic deposits, geochemical overprint of deposits and preserved materials)
ERTH 102CS-00X Oplontis: Hazards and Consequences (Nov 7-Dec 9)
The third course will center on the hazards and consequences of living in the shadow of volcanoes. We will explore the ethical issues surrounding settlement of areas where a future eruption is inevitable. We will also compare the threat from volcanic activity in the Bay of Naples to volcanic hazards in our own Yellowstone region and the Cascades.
US 101US: First Year Seminar: Place & Identity - 3 credits
This multi-disciplinary course, presented in seminar format, draws from the disciplines of psychology, sociology, history, art, and philosophy to encourage students to explore issues critical to their academic goals and objectives. This semester, the course will utilize the MOR exhibition as a source of inspiration and inquiry to examine how place, time, and identity form experience, whether that experience is in the first-year classroom at Montana State University, or in the villas and landscapes of ancient Naples. The course will investigate the following: an Education that Matters; Tourism, Wonder, and Imagination; Luxury & Service in the Economics of Leisure; Power & Control of Landscape and Object; and the Ethics of Place. Fulfills university seminar (US) requirement of the core curriculum. This course cannot be repeated.
CAA 491-00X Special Topics: Occupation and Ownership of Desire: Mapping Leisure and Luxury - 3 credits
The course will utilize the historic site and context of the Roman villa as a departure point for examining extractive occupation of the landscape in our region. The Villa Oplontis constructed in the Bay of Naples is an example of consuming a desired landscape and experience without any concern for the non-mutualistic inhabitation of place. Furthermore, it evidences the significant infrastructure required for such an occupation by so few people. This type of occupation can be seen in many places throughout the present day mountain west region. This course will map systems of extraction in both the historic Bay of Naples and the present Mountain West region ranging from raw materials to experience. We will examine these systems at a multitude of scales and complexities to understand them as their own ecologies. The mapping will identify proactive ways of engaging in these systems and propose interventions that can be implemented for positive change, moving us away from reactionary design and creating a mutualistic condition.
CAA 491-00X Special Topics: Materials, Methods, & Meaning: Decoration in Ancient Rome - 3 credits
This upper-level seminar class, limited to 20 students, will meet at the Museum of the Rockies on T/R from 5 to 6 p.m. and in Haynes Hall, room 107 on Fridays from 10 to 11:50. Both sections will meet at the same time (T/R) to hear lectures presented my Dr. Regina Gee and Dean Adams, participate in discussions, and to engage with the exhibit. Fridays will consist of studio art experiences as a way to better understand the elements of the exhibition through making. Projects will include sketchbook as research tool, fresco painting, ceramics, drawing, design, sculpture, jewelry, coin design and a capstone experience. One section will consist of a capstone assignment in the form of a research paper and the other section in the form of an art object.
PHL 312: Contemporary Moral Problems - 3 credits
This course will examine philosophical issues and concepts at the core of contemporary ethical debates. Questions will include: To whom do we have duties (for example, are there duties to the dead, fetuses, future generations, non-human animals?) How should we understand rights, such as the right to property or the right to life and what should we do when rights conflict? Is it ever legitimate to destroy cultural artifacts or confiscate property if it serves some significant scientific or social good? What principles should guide us in protecting the public from "risks" to health or wellbeing? How should we understand concepts such as "equality" or "justice" and what sorts of obligations do they give rise to?
PHL 491: Special Topics - How do we know about the past? Evidence and Ethics in Practice - 1 credit
The central focus of this course will be to examine how we produce knowledge about the past, using the Museum of the Rockies as a source for accessing and assessing that evidence. Questions would include: What sort of evidence can we have about the past? What counts as evidence? How are artifacts represented, and to what extent do values and interests shape that representation? To what extent can representations of the past be said to be "objective" or reliable? What are the ethical constraints on using human and animal remains as evidence? To what extent is permissible to destroy evidence? This seminar will provide a unique opportunity to approach these issues in an interdisciplinary and practical way, by examining how different kinds of artifacts and data are used in archaeology, geology, chemistry, art history, architecture, biology, plant sciences, and ecology in order to tell us about the past and in particular life in Ancient Rome and the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
BIOB 260: Cellular and Molecular Biology - 3 credits
The Fall 2016 class will include a project that incorporates the Oplontis exhibit.
HONR 204D: Great Expeditions: Ethics, Politics, and Science from Ancient Rome to Today - 3 credits
Students interested in this course need to visit the exhibition in fall 2016
This course will compare and contrast the way in which science was practiced in Roman times and today. Special attention will be given to the ways in which politics and wealth shaped science then and now. Topics will include what counts as "science?" Is there a meaningful distinction between, for example, science and medicine or technology? What counts as "evidence" in different scientific disciplines? Are there "objective" methods that characterize science? Can science be said to "progress" linearly towards the truth over time? To what extent is science informed by value judgments? What are the ethical obligations of scientists? The course will culminate in a trip to Italy where students will have the opportunity to conduct research on a particular area of interest.

Green smoothies helped us beat diabetes
I do NOT want to sound like a cheezy televangelist or some hawker on late night infomercials or some vapid chick selling makeup at 2 am on channel 19,000
BUT I can attest that, using green smoothies like the one on one of my other blogs here (no sprouts tho, no bananas either) – NOT juicing but Vita-mixing (this way you get all the awesome fiber you NEED)
My DH has:
– Lost all blood and urine chemistry markers for diabetes
– Gone off ALL diabetes meds (wasnt on insulin yet)
– Gone off high blood pressure meds
– Gone off some other med he was on for cholesterol
– Lost something like 50 pounds
– Lowered all his bad fats and cholesterol in his blood to BELOW the lower end of normal scales – ALL OF THE USUAL TRIGLYCERIDE PANEL – whooosh from bad to awesomeness!!!!
We have proven that you can, single handedly, monkey-wrench the pharmaceutical companies AND make your life SO MUCH BETTER just but making these green smoothies. You can add a simple leafy green salad with a low sugar low fat HOMEMADE vinaigrette if you need to chomp on things.
Drink these every day and stick to it and you WILL see massive gains against diabetes ad all the nasty side effects of diabetes and metabolic syndrome – I watched it happen.
This is NOT a diet, its food therapy. You are recharging your nutrient (not calorie) starved body with critically important vitamins, minerals, cofactors science hasnt learned about yet, rebuilding your neglected gut ecology, and enjoying fresh juicy goodness that will make you feel more energetic and juicy yourself!
Our green smoothie recipe is the following – yours can be different just watch the sugar, starch, dairy products, fats
ALL ORGANIC (crap in, crap out – this is an investment in YOU so you dont have to wake up feeling like a freight train ran you over every 3 minutes all night long)
This is for one day, its thick, like a shake and you can sip it with a straw to make it easier or dilute as you like with filtered water (I have been using water filtered with our nifty Brita pitcher)
This is in the order that i add to the blender
small amount of filtered water to lubricate
3 carrots
1 medium apple
1 peeled cucumber
1 peeled orange
2 stalks celery
slice of ginger
1/8 lemon with peel
handful baby spinach
splash triple distilled cod liver oil
1/4 cup hemp protein powder
1/4 cup raw maca root powder
2 cups dinosaur kale (any kind you like)
cup cilantro or flat leaf parsley or both
1/2 small head of lettuce (red, romaine, oak leaf, up to you)
more cool filtered water to bring whirling smoothie to near top of the blender
Store in a 1/2 gallon container in the fridge – dont store longer than for that day's use. Rinse the container once done so nothing begins to stick to container – best not to let it dry onto surface.
We sometimes add beets or freshly cut pineapple… blueberries or other berries would be awesome – just be sure its all organic – berries can be seriously chemically treated if not organic.
Here is what it may look like!

"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life."
You know who said that?
He was a Chinese philosopher who lived some 2,500 years ago. He said many a wise thing, but the above quote isn't one of them.
To make amends, he grew some amazing eyebrows:
You may have heard the same advice in different words: "Follow your passion."
Well, I'm here to tell you to ignore that advice.
Yes, really.
Forget passion.
Three reasons why…
1. To Follow Your Passion, You First Need To Find It
And that's much easier said than done, right?
Most of us have no idea what we're passionate about, or what kind of job we could possibly love so much that it never feels like work.
The danger is that we'll invest tons of time and energy into finding our passion, trying all sorts of different things in expectation of a sudden eureka moment.
We see it unfolding like a movie, that moment when you're engaged in some new activity and suddenly everything clicks and then you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that THIS IS WHAT I WAS PUT HERE ON EARTH TO DO!
To emphasize how silly this belief is, imagine if you believed romantic relationships worked the same way.
That is, you believed that you either fell in love with someone at first sight, or not at all.
Sounds ridiculous, right?
You might be physically attracted to someone immediately, or even feel some mysterious and powerful urge to go talk to them, but you won't know for sure if you're a good match until you go on a few dates, get jiggy, meet their parents, live together… etc.
See what I'm getting at here?
Just like very few people have their perfect partner fall out of the sky and into their arms, very few people have their perfect career do the same.
But even if that were to happen to you — if you were to find your passion (or your soulmate) overnight or otherwise — it's not as if success would suddenly come easy.
That's because…
2. Doing Meaningful Work Is Hard
Here's a quote I prefer, by Thomas Edison:
"Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work."
Just like you have to work at a relationship you care about, you have to work at a job you love. You can't just cruise along and have everything fall into place.
I've worked on numerous passion projects over the years.
Building this website is the latest one.
I truly believe that building this site is the best way I could be contributing to the world right now — helping people achieve financial and location independence — and I enjoy the process of writing and sharing what I've learned.
All in all, I love my work.
And yet there are many days when I am massively resistant to actually sit down and do it.
Why is that??
Well, when you love something, there's the fear that you'll mess it up or that it won't be nearly as good or as well received as you hope it will be.
And when you're not afraid of something going wrong, you're afraid of nothing going wrong.
Success equals transformation and some dark part of us wants us to fail because then nothing has to change.
We can go back to doing something safe and familiar instead of plowing ahead into unknown territory.
So yeah, doing work you're passionate about ain't easy. It's often much easier (at least in the short-term) to do work you don't give a shit about.
But doing work you're passionate about isn't just a tough road. It's also a long road.
Which brings us to the third reason to ignore the advice of Confucius…
3. It May Take Years To Make Money From Your Passion
That's if you can ever make any money from it at all, let alone enough to afford a decent standard of living.
And let's face it: unless you've got a mattress full of cash to fall back on, you can't afford to spend YEARS of your life turning your passion into a career.
Bills have to be paid.
Food has to be bought.
The occasional pint has to be enjoyed.
Not to mention the fact that many of the things we're passionate about simply aren't ever going to make us a living.
What if you're passionate about carving matchsticks or collecting stamps or growing cacti?
What if you're a teenage girl from Finland who loves nothing more than frolicking around on a fake horse?
Even if you invest years in becoming the best in the world at those things, it's unlikely that anyone's going to throw money at you. 2
Let's take a moment and review what we've covered so far…
You should forget passion because:
- If you don't already know what you're passionate about, there's no guarantee you'll figure it out anytime soon, no matter how hard you try.
- Even if you do figure it out, doing work you're passionate about isn't any kind of cakewalk. If anything, working on something you're passionate about is harder than working a regular job you have little interest in.
- It can take years to turn passion into a viable business, if it's possible at all.
Let me be clear here.
I'm not saying that you should drop your passion completely (assuming you know what it is). And I'm not saying you should resolve yourself to doing work you hate to make a living.
What I am saying may be best communicated by revising that Confucius quote to read as follows:
"Choose a job you like, can quickly excel at, and will be well paid for… and you will have a lot more options in the not-too-distant future."
Let's break that down.
Choose a job you like…
You don't have to love what you do. Liking your work is perfectly fine.
The past eight years I've earned a living mostly as a freelance web developer. But I don't love doing web development. It might have been my passion ten years ago, but the joy faded from it pretty fast.
Nowadays I like building websites. It's something I know how to do and do well.
But doing freelance web development affords me a lot of freedom.
In large part because of that skill, I had the confidence to quit my 9-to-5 and the ability to travel the world for years on end.
…can quickly excel at, and be well paid for…
As mentioned, passion projects often take years to pay off financially, if ever.
Some people glorify the struggle of living hand-to-mouth while chasing an elusive dream, like becoming a famous rock star or writer.
I am not one of those people.
Forget being a starving artist.
Put the dream on hold and learn some skills you can use to generate a reliable income within a few months. That means becoming good at something the world values and is happy to pay you for.
…and you will have a lot more options in the not-too-distant future.
Let's say you can learn and deploy a new skill in the next three months that allows you to earn $1,000/month freelancing online.
That gives you options.
- First of all, you suddenly have the option to work from ANYWHERE in the world. You can head off to a cheaper country with nicer weather, move closer to loved ones, or even travel indefinitely.
- Hitting that $1,000/month mark also allows you to be more selective with the projects you choose to take on. You can start to diversify your client base and raise your rates.
- Further down the road, as you gain more confidence and your business becomes more optimized, you can make more money in less time, eventually to the point where you can devote a few hours a day to working on a passion project, without worrying about how to make it financially viable.
See how that works?
By forgetting about passion and focusing on building skills that improve our options in the near future, we actually give ourselves a better chance of making our passion project an eventual success.
Let's Review
When you're just getting started working online, your main goal should be to build a steady stream of independent income, and to do it as fast as possible.
The best way to do that is to put your passion projects aside and focus on building a skill you can freelance. It should be something you like doing, can quickly excel at, and will be well paid for.
Now, you're probably wondering which skill best fits that description for you.
And that's exactly what we're going to figure out in the next lesson.

Froome wins stage 7 of the Tour; Wiggins takes the overall lead
Team Sky floors the pedal on the race's first mountaintop finish to take control of the Tour
LA PLANCHE DES BELLES FILLES (VN) — Bradley Wiggins took command of the Tour de France on Saturday as Sky teammate Christopher Froome secured a deserved maiden victory on stage 7.
Defending champion Cadel Evans (BMC Racing) finished second on the day, with Wiggins third only seconds behind, as Sky's pace on the final 5.9km climb to the race's first hilltop finish levied a costly toll on some contenders for the overall title in Paris.
"It's something we practice a lot as a group," said Froome. "I knew the finish. I thought, 'I'm there, why not give it a nudge?' And when I saw Cadel wasn't there, I was surprised."
The team reconnoitered the climb after the Dauphiné Libéré, Froome added.
"This is one of the principal GC days, so it was important for us," he said.
As for the new race leader, Wiggins said he knew a kilometer from the line that his teammate could win the stage. He himself was after the maillot jaune.
"My first objective was to take this jersey," he said. "In the Tour, it's never too early to take the yellow jersey. It's enormous to have it. I do not know if I will have in two weeks' time but it's great to have it now."
Evans, who made a futile bid for the stage win only to be passed by Froome in the final 100 meters, is now second overall at 10 seconds behind Wiggins.
Vincenzo Nibali (Liquigas-Cannondale), perhaps now the biggest challenger to Evans and Wiggins, is third at 16 seconds with Rein Taaramae of Cofidis in fourth at 32 seconds.
Team Sky came to the race with a number of talented climbers and their strong pace-setting from the bottom of the steep climb to the ski-station finish line was too much for some.
Former podium finisher Fränk Schleck was among the RadioShack-Nissan riders dropped relatively early, along with Andreas Klöden, Chris Horner and, as expected, the now-former race leader Fabian Cancellara, who nonetheless put up a strong defense of his yellow jersey. Not known as a climber, he nevertheless managed to finish 20th on the day at 1:52 and slipped to 11th overall, 1:43 down on Wiggins.
RadioShack's best-placed rider now is veteran Haimar Zubeldia in fifth at 59 seconds.
Nairobi-born Froome's victory, his first on the world's biggest bike race, comes less than a year after a runner-up place at the Vuelta a España.
"To be honest, it was a real fight to be at the front of the peloton," said Froome. "I am really happy — it wasn't about sending messages, I just saw an opportunity there."

High Volume of Knee & Shoulder Arthroscopy Procedures and Hip Arthroscopy Evolution Propel Arthroscopy Implants Market Growth, States GBI Research
12 Mar 2013 • by Natalie Aster
Research and Development (R&D) in arthroscopy over the last couple of decades has proved to be a milestone, transforming the treatment and recuperation of patients and tackling a major healthcare issue associated with aging.
The report "Arthroscopy Devices Market to 2018 - Increasing Prevalence of Osteoarthritis and Preference for Minimally Invasive Procedures to Drive Future Growth" by GBI Research states that the growing elderly population around the world are the cause of an increasing global prevalence of osteoarthritis, which causes degeneration of articular cartilage. The developing obesity problem in various nations is also an issue, with obesity being the second largest risk factor after aging for the onset of osteoarthritis, as individual's joints are placed under a great deal of physical stress.
Report Details:
Arthroscopy Devices Market to 2018 - Increasing Prevalence of Osteoarthritis and Preference for Minimally Invasive Procedures to Drive Future Growth
Published: January, 2013
Pages: 76
Price: US$ 3,500.00
A high volume of knee and shoulder arthroscopy procedures, as well as the evolution of hip arthroscopy, is driving the growth of the arthroscopy implants market, and new minimally invasive surgical techniques and sophisticated implant materials have boosted the popularity of arthroscopies considerably.
Arthroscopy implants are less invasive than more traditional techniques such as joint reconstruction, arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) repair, and thanks to recent improvements in arthroscopy implants and techniques, they are becoming more common. The use of innovative bio-absorbable materials in the design of arthroscopy implants also helps provide high-level mechanical strength for joints and promotes natural healing and bone growth.
The minimally invasive procedures additionally promise patients a short recovery time, improved procedure outcome, and greater cost effectiveness. Arthroscopy allows for the improved visualization of repairs without the need to cut through muscle and create large incisions, enabling surgeons to perform the procedure quicker. Shorter recovery times associated with minimally invasive procedures are another major cost-cutting bonus, as treatment can be carried out as an outpatient procedure, alleviating hospitalization expenditure.

Blues Guitar Lessons • Rhythm Guitar Strum Patterns • Part One • Chords, Tab, Video Lessons
Learning Blues Guitar
With this book, my goal is to relate the scales with chords and rhythms as opposed to just learning solos or licks and having no idea how to apply them. Good rhythm playing and knowledge is crucial to good soloing and vice versa. This comes through understanding the relationship between chords and scales. This book provides that important foundation.
The book is unique in the fact that each chapter is based around a different key signature and an open (contains unfretted notes), pattern of the pentatonic scale. There are five chapters covering the key signatures of E, A, D, G and C, and the five open 'box patterns' (scale patterns) of the pentatonic scale. Eventually all the box patterns are covered, from the open strings to the fifteenth fret.
There is no endless scale practice or useless licks to learn. Instead, each chapter begins with a chord progression, moves into various rhythm patterns derived from the chord progression, and then culminates with solos based on the scale and key covered. These solos tie in with the chord progression and rhythm patterns to form a complete lesson for each chapter.
The book is progressive. Upon completion, the student will have a solid foundation in blues guitar, and will understand the rhythm, lead connection.
The book is best studied from beginning to end, without slighting any material. All theory is explained in the simplest terms. There are fretboard diagrams for the scales, chord grids, and photos of hand positions as well as videos posted on YouTube to aid in the learning process.
It is best, but not necessary, to have a knowledge of barre and open chord shapes before beginning this course. All the chords have fretboard grids associated with them.
Good luck and have fun. Music is a celebration. Enjoy!

Pattern One
These rhythms work well at a medium to fast tempo (100-140 beats per minute: bpm)
The expression mark at the beginning of each of these patterns denotes a swing rhythm. This is a very common way of notating this. Two eighth notes equal a 'broken triplet'. Instead of counting 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and, the rhythm has a triplet sound: 1 and ah 2 and ah 3 and ah 4 and ah. The '1 and' are used up by the quarter note, while the eighth note is the 'ah'. This results in a heartbeat sound. There is a huge difference between straight eighths and swing eighths. The x notehead means to mute the chord, while the slash is a held chord. The result is a 'chuck' (for the x) and a full chord sound for the slash. To achieve this, release the pressure on the mute and quickly put the pressure back down for the slash. This may be difficult at first, but will eventually feel natural. This is much easier to do with barre chords, than open chords.
Pattern Two
The next pattern starts with two full chord strums at the beginning of each bar. I find this is easier to execute, as it keeps the bars separate in sound. Once again, hold the pressure for the first beat (1 ah) then release the pressure for the chucks. Don't forget the heartbeat sound of the swing!
Pattern Three
This is the most complex and challenging of the three patterns. The '1 ah' is the full chord followed by a chuck for the 2, full chord for the ah, chuck for the 3, then full chords for the 'ah 4 ah'. Practise slowly at first, then gradually increase the tempo, but don't lose the feel!
Here is a Junior Wells tune to work on. This is transcribed solely with pattern #2. Try this with all the patterns, then mix and match. Try playing with the actual song. This transcription is in the key of the recording, provided you are tuned to standard pitch. Note the turnaround, the V (five) chord comes in halfway through the twelfth bar.

When My Baby Left Me
This so good because a) it is a jolly tune b) there are some wonedrful sentiments but most of all I'm so glad to see' you all again! I do hope you will be able to do some more blogging in the New Year!
Real meat for a blues beginner like me. Your teachings use my time well, Lorne. Thank you.
wonderful. Its time to revival of the blue rhythm. Lets celebrate.

Unideal Husband
The Marriage Plot
By Jeffrey Eugenides
Fourth Estate 440pp £20 order from our bookshop
Jeffrey Eugenides is a writer who takes his time – a decade-between-novels sort of writer. And the investment of time has paid dividends. Between his eerily brilliant debut, The Virgin Suicides (1993), and the baggier Middlesex (2002) his books have sold more than three million copies. After Middlesex, one had a sense of an author developing his own line in high-concept fiction, not quite magical (or hysterical) realism, but something slightly at an angle to those modes, a kind of plausible expressionism. The death-driven Lisbon sisters of the first novel and Cal, the intersex narrator of the second, were unusual figures around whom the fabric of everyday life in mid-twentieth-century America could be distorted to reveal its underlying strangeness. What was most troubling about the suicidal girls was their normality; what was most interesting about Cal was the way the uncertainty of her (and later his) gender revealed the queerness of certainty itself.
The Marriage Plot is an odd successor to those two books. It begins, straightforwardly, as a campus novel. We meet Madeleine Hanna in the early 1980s on the morning of her graduation from Brown University.

f Infection Rates of Triatoma protracta (Uhler) with Trypanosoma cruzi in Southern California and Molecular Identification of Trypanosomes
We report Trypanosoma cruzi infection rates of the native kissing bug Triatoma protracta in southern California. The rates are within the historically reported range, but differ significantly between the two sites (19% in Escondido and 36% in Glendora). Identification of T. cruzi in T. protracta was conducted for the first time by using partial 18S ribosomal RNA and 24Sα ribosomal RNA sequences. Incongruence of 24Sα ribosomal RNA phylogeny with current T. cruzi genotype classification supports non-clonality of some T. cruzi genotypes.

Exam 1: 30%
Exam 2: 30%
Final Project & Flyer: 15%
Participation, Quizzes, & In-Class Activities: Please be sure to let me know about needs you may have regarding in-class discussions—from what name or pronouns you prefer to any techniques you've found that work best when it comes to helping you feel comfortable participating in class. You will need to plan to be involved in this class. This means that not only do you need to arrive on time and stay for the full duration of the class, you also need to participate by actively listening to and taking notes on lectures, offering your own spoken contributions in discussions, and engaging clearly and productively in class activities as well as group work. Always bring your textbook or a hard copy of the assigned reading with you; direct your peers to specific pages and passages in discussion; come prepared to make a comment or ask a question. Your participation will be assessed both on its quantity and quality, including the ways in which your contributions to class discussions move our conversations productively forward. Finally, unannounced quizzes may also be used to assess your completion of the assigned reading and your preparation for class.
Short Reflection Essays: There are six opportunities to turn in a reflection essay in the course. You will choose three of these deadlines—one must be submitted for either Unit 1 or Unit 2—to submit a reflection essay: a short, 350-500 word (Times New Roman 12pt font) essay that summarizes what you learned during the previous course unit, including information you acquired by reading assigned texts, paying attention to lectures, participating in class discussions and activities, and conducting independent research. For each essay, you will search the database ECCO to find a title page of an eighteenth-century publication, print it out, and turn it in as the cover sheet to your final draft. At least two weeks before the first optional deadline, I will distribute a more extensive assignment description, sample reflection essays, and a rubric for you to consult.
Exams: Twice during the semester, you'll take multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, true/false, and short answer exams that test your completion and comprehension of assigned readings, lectures, and in- class discussions. I will hold a review session before each exam.
Final Project & Flyer: For the final project in the class, you will design and build a creative object that a) represents a text you read in the course, and b) is inspired by an object that would have been made or purchased during the time period covered in the course. You will also develop a professional flyer that advertises and explains the significance of the object you have created. During the first two weeks of class, I will hold a Q&A session about the project as well as distribute a more extensive assignment description, images of sample student projects, a template for your flyer, and a grading rubric for you to consult in order to complete this assignment.
Course Policies
Attendance: This course does not have an attendance policy, but attending class sessions where I will deliver formal lectures, distribute important information about course content and assignments, and lead discussions as well as creative classroom activities is necessary in order for you to succeed in taking the exams and completing the reflection essays and final project. If you have an emergency that will keep you from attending class, please let me know as soon as possible. I can't promise that I will accommodate you, but I may be able to help you get in touch with an administrator who can help you to complete this and the other courses that will have been affected by your emergency. I do not offer makeup opportunities for missed quizzes, and I will only accept reflection essays after their deadlines or offer makeup opportunities for exams in the case of documented emergencies.
Academic Integrity: Please review Wright State's academic integrity policy which defines plagiarism as "quoting, paraphrasing, or otherwise using the words or ideas of another as your own without acknowledging or properly citing the other." Assignments submitted by students that violate Wright State's Academic Integrity policy will automatically be reported and assigned a grade of 0.
Students with Disabilities: If you anticipate needing accommodation for a disability in this course, please register with the Office of Disability Services and plan to meet with me during the first week of the quarter to talk about how we can work together to ensure that you succeed in the class.
Turning in Work: Work is due at the time and day and in the format as stated on the syllabus or assignment sheet. Technological difficulties such as a broken printer, a failed hard drive, or a disrupted internet connection are not acceptable excuses for late work. I recommend that you complete and print your reflection essays before the deadline. I will only accept reflection essays in hard copy. Use a stapler if your essay is more than one page. If you will be absent on a day you've chosen to turn in a reflection essay, please leave your essay in my campus mailbox before the start of class. Late work will receive a grade of 0 in order to mirror professional climates; missing a deadline for a job application, project report, or appointment will mean that you cannot take advantage of those opportunities and that you have compromised your professional reputation. I only make exceptions to this policy for documented emergencies.
Email: It may take me up to 48 hours to reply to your email. Please plan accordingly. If you haven't received a response from me after 48 hours, your email may have gone to my spam folder. Don't be afraid to see me before or after class to make sure our lines of communication are open. You can help ensure that your email reaches me by providing information in the subject line that includes the course number of the class you're enrolled in as well as by using conventional formats when composing your email (Dear Dr. Lake, My name is, I'm a student in your ENG 3220 course this semester, Sincerely, etc.). There's no need to send an email alerting me to your absence from the class unless there's an emergency that requires me to help you by getting in touch with student services. Please consult the course website as well as a classmate to find out what you may have missed.
Class ethos: This course emulates professional climates in order to prepare you for work outside of the classroom. Please approach your relationship with your professor, your peers, your readings and assignments as if you were in a professional setting. Class sessions will be devoted to discussions as well as activities that aim to establish facts and best practices, brainstorm ideas, solve problems, and develop strategies for fulfilling project goals. You should come to class sessions prepared, then, to offer productive comments on assigned readings, respond to others' ideas with thoughtfulness and respect, and ask questions that are meaningful. You should avoid inviting speculation about your work ethic that will inevitably arise if you seem distracted by electronic devices like phones and laptops, if you seem unprepared, if your personal life consistently interferes with your work, if you cannot stay on task during small-group activities, if you are unable to meet deadlines, if you turn in incomplete work or work that appears to be haphazardly, hastily completed.
Social Media Policy: I may share positive and respectful representations of students' work for this course online. I will never, however, tag a student or post their name or an image of the student online without first asking for their permission to do so. I ask that you treat your online engagement with this course with a similar kind of care. Please do not tag me, post my name, or share images of me without first asking for my permission to do so. Unless we have an arrangement worked out through our Office of Disability, students may not make or disseminate recordings or copies of in-class activities or distributed materials. I often make my PowerPoints as well as my lecture notes freely available for students to download, and you are always welcome to snap pictures of notes on the board at the end of class for your records. If you have concerns about how you or your work in the course may be represented online, please talk to me about them.

Wolfram recently released his debut album after years of putting out others' records on his Diskokaine label. The guest star roster for the self-titled disc is studded with dance music's heavy hitters, including Holy Ghost!, Hercules & Love Affair, Legowelt, and Haddaway of "What Is Love" fame (!!!). In addition to helping put disco chanteuse Sally Shapiro on the map, Wolfram surfed in right on the crest of the original disco revival a few years ago and he's been in demand since–he's so wanted, in fact, that the police paid a little visit to his record release party. We'll just let him explain.
What happened at your record release party? I heard it got shut down early.
It was very crazy! I didn't expect so many people. It was a small place, and it was so packed. People were drinking outside because the line was so slow and so the police showed up around 2 a.m. and closed us down. It was my second live set ever and I only got to play for ten minutes.
Your album is almost like a hip-hop record with big guests on nearly every track. Was it difficult to wrangle all those artists?
Yes, I'm like Jay-Z. No, it wasn't that hard because most of them are friends of mine. Except for Haddaway, who I had never met. I got a hold of his phone number and just called him from my parents' house in Austria at 5 p.m. on Christmas Eve and I woke him up! I thought I had fucked it up already. I had to explain who I was, but once I did he was very nice. He gave me his email and I sent him my instrumental. Fifteen minutes later he called me back and was like, "Wolfie? This is Haddy. What about something like this?" and he played my instrumental and started singing lyrics over it!
How did you start off DJing?
Everything happens at Christmastime for me. When I was 14 my dad put on a record of "Silent Night" as we were posing for a family picture. I had an older brother who I always wanted to impress and so I went over to the record player and started scratching it and he laughed. My dad told me to stop and I didn't and I was ruining the family picture but my brother was laughing, so it didn't matter. Finally my dad slapped me for the first time ever and walked off. He came back and felt so bad and apologized to me, but one year later he gave me my first turntables.
That could be the best DJ origin story ever. Did you know anything about running a record label?
No. I still don't. But six years ago there were none of these nu-disco guys around, so it was easier. There was DFA, but that was more punk & not so much Italo, so I was just releasing what I wanted to hear.
How did you stumble upon Sally Shapiro?
I feel like she's really well-known in the States and I'm happy that it went so well for her. It was really very simple. We just did everything by ourselves. I even made the artwork myself, which got voted the worst cover by Vice in 2005. Which is funny because now my new record just got voted Best Cover! (laughs)
It's a shot of your mother holding you as a baby, right?
Yes. And I was talking to Chris from Vampire Weekend and they got sued for the picture on their album cover recently, so I hope that she's not going to sue me if it gets successful.
Let's hope not. You played on WNYU's "Beats in Space" last night. How was it, and did Tim Sweeney wear one of his trademark Speedos?
(laughs) I didn't look, but last week I heard that he did. Tim actually asked me to record a mix for him about five years ago and I only had one turntable at home and didn't want to send him a bad one, so I never did. I thought he might be mad at me, but he wasn't.
What I like about the record is that it feels like an album. It's not overtly pop or just for DJ nerds. It's accessible and flows like an album.
I'm actually not a big fan of vocalists because as a DJ I always prefer to play the dub mix, so I tried to challenge myself and not just make a nerdy record for DJs to play. I'm a pop fan. Italo disco always tried to be pop but it never quite fit, but at least it tried!
If I'm ever in Austria, what should I not leave without seeing?
Me. I'll show you everything you need to see.
