For many technology companies, the white paper is a much-valued method of driving email subscriptions and positioning company executives as thought leaders or industry experts. But there is no reason why the white paper should be the sole reserve of the IT crowd. I believe that great thought leadership distributed via a white paper can be exploited by any type of business.
What Is a White Paper?
A white paper is a detailed document that is normally distributed as a PDF. PDFs are used because they are quick and easy to create, maintain the same appearance no matter what type of device they are viewed on and, perhaps most importantly, can be viewed independently of the software used to create them. Everyday software tools, such as Microsoft Word, are perfectly capable of creating PDF files. However, to produce a more readable document, you should consider employing the services of a graphic designer to give the document a professional finish.
A great white paper should act as a guide or solve a particular problem and have the ultimate aim of helping the reader make a decision. While that decision will hopefully result in a sale, you should be careful not to be overly salesy. Great thought leadership is all about positioning yourself as an expert, not as a salesperson.
While a white paper should be thorough, try not to get too lost in the details. Break your text up with graphics and bullet points to make it as easy as possible to read. Where possible, include customer testimonials and proof points. Always use plain English and explain any jargon.
How a White Paper Is Useful for You
Longer and more detailed than a blog post, the white paper requires an investment in time and money – meaning you shouldn't give it away without getting something in return. The standard payback for a white paper is the acquisition of some useful contact details, such as an email address or a telephone number, which can be used as an actionable lead or starting point for future marketing campaigns.
Email marketing companies like iContact provide all the tools you need to collect customer data and then direct newly acquired contacts to your white paper. You can do this by simply redirecting them to a web page with a link to your PDF once they have entered their details. However, if you want to guarantee the quality of your data, you might want to set up an auto-responder, a tool that automatically sends an email with a direct link to your white paper once an interested party has registered his or her details.
Your Subscription Form
While you will want to collect as much useful data as possible from the individuals downloading your white paper, be careful that you don't put them off by asking for too much personal information.

Finally some attention paid to Third District roads!
Many have argued even before the two killer storms last year that roads where bad and there were many questions as to where the $16M borrowed from the local Social Security Board in 2015 to carry out road repairs and rehabilitation went.
The piece of road next to the Ebenezer Thomas Primary School in Sea Cows Bay, located in the Third District represented by the Hon Julian Fraser RA, was one of the most deplorable strips on Tortola, as it was a dirt track.
The students, teachers, parents and other support staff at the school had to endure the dust for well over five months and persons attending the many funerals or going to religious services in the last five months at the Sea Cows Bay Methodist Church had to endure the dusty conditions.
The poor state of the road also affected many residents living in the immediate area. A few days ago a food stall was erected close to the area adjacent to the new gas station under construction and many on social media were wondering how it would survive those serious dusty conditions, because of the road situation.
Is there discrimination against D1 & D3?
The two Opposition Members, Hons Andrew A. Fahie (R1) and Fraser, have long told their people that since the 2011 general elections the ruling National Democratic Party (NDP) Government has discriminated against their districts.
Premier and Minister of Finance Dr The Honourable D. Orlando Smith (AL) and Communications and Works Minister Hon Mark H. Vanterpool (R4) have both denied the allegations, and often pointed to projects in those districts undertaken by the NDP Administration.
Road nice now mon!
After much public pressure from Hon Fraser in the House of Assembly and questions asked in Parliament, today Sunday March 25, 2018 action was finally taken. The strip of road was graded and asphalt placed on the top of the road by Public Works Department (PWD) and Tortola Paving Limited.
The Representative, Hon Fraser, was even on hand to help level the asphalt and was seen giving instructions. He also posted images on his Facebook page with the good news on the road, as the works were progressing.
Meanwhile, in a strange twist a few days ago, Hon Fraser also raised the issue about the poor roads in the Seventh and Eighth Districts, both held by two NDP members, and called on Premier Smith to place money in the budget for roads.
It is unclear when there will be road repairs in other areas on Tortola and on the sister islands.

Palm's New Pilot: Jon Rubinstein [UPDATED]
"The key thing was our CEO, Ed Colligan, had the insight that once the [BlackBerry] Pearl came out, the smart-phone business was going to be a consumer business, and Palm was not positioned for that and needed a major transformation, and that's what we got involved in doing. The whole notion was you wanted to take that cultural legacy of innovation that created the Pilot and the Treo and then apply it to the next customer."
–Roger McNamee lauds Palm CEO Ed Colligan at our recent D: All Things Digital conference
Now we know why it was Palm executive chairman Jon Rubinstein and investor Roger McNamee on stage at D last month talking up the Pre, and not CEO Ed Colligan: Colligan was on his way out.
On Wednesday, Palm (PALM) named Rubinstein as its new chairman and CEO. Come Friday he'll succeed Colligan, who is leaving the company after 16 years to join McNamee at Elevation Partners. Apparently Palm, who recruited Rubinstein, a former Apple (AAPL) engineer, to turn the company around has decided it would much rather have him in its highest office than Colligan under whose leadership it was foundering.
In a statement, Rubinstein–who has spent the past two years quarterbacking the development of the Pre and its webOS–welcomed his new role. "I am very excited about taking on this expanded role at Palm," he said. "Ed and I have worked very hard together the past two years, and I'm grateful to him for everything he's done to help set the company up for success. With Palm webOS we have ten-plus years of innovation ahead of us, and the Palm Pre is already one of the year's hottest new products. Due in no small part to Ed's courageous leadership, we're in great shape to get Palm back to continuous growth, and we plan to keep the trajectory going upward."
Reached for comment late Wednesday afternoon, Roger McNamee offered up this rather canned statement on Palm's leadership transition: "With Ed's decision to step down, Jon Rubinstein is the natural choice to lead Palm into its next phase of growth. Jon has proven to have exactly the right mix of product vision, organizational leadership and operational capabilities to help Palm regain a leadership position. We are grateful for the leadership role Ed has played in initiating this transformation and getting through the successful launch of webOS and the Pre."
Palm shares are up 3.75 percent at $12.44 on the news.

Living in two different places has its challenges- and rewards. I so love the life I have in DFW, but Austin has been calling me for a while now and I've finally decided to answer. Yes, I'm setting down roots in Austin while leaving some planted in DFW. I believe living in both places will only help my blog, and me, grow and develop professionally. After a couple of weeks of settling into my Austin apartment, I decided to venture out and learn my way around the city. So with a full tank and an empty schedule I set out on Saturday morning to see what Austin had to offer.
10:00 AM Private Yoga Lesson in Shipe Park
I didn't think it'd be very zen of me to snap photos during yoga, so after we ended class with my favorite pose, Savasana, I took a few pics of my vantage point on my mat. Afterwards we dangled our feet in the pool to cool off.
12:00PM Lunch- Torchy's Tacos @ Trailer Park Eatery 1st Street
This taco stand always has long line of dedicated foodies. I ordered my two tacos to go and while I waited stepped next door to Holy Cacao for an iced Mexican Hot Chocolate. Cold and sweet, with a devilicious hint of cayenne pepper, it's the perfect summer treat.
1:00PM Sale at Anthropologie on 6th and Lamar
Expensive to some, reasonable to others and charming to most, Anthropologie has really grown on me over the years. And now that I know it's the sister company to Urban Outfitters and Leifsdottir, I like it even more.
2:15PM Sale at West Elm on 5th and Lamar
Now, I've not been to West Elm in quite a while. It seemed they never had any really good sales, and I always found myself at Z Gallerie instead. Well, I suppose things have changed. It's their End-of-the-Season Sale and my friend just got a steal of a couch from West Elm (marked down to $350 from $1500!!!). He showed me pictures of it on his phone after yoga class. It's so chic and classic: white with black damask print- there are so many ways to decorate his living room I don't know where to start! Luckily, this sale includes accessories and dishes as well. So, if you've wanted to revive a tired-looking room in your home, get to West Elm now.
3:15PM Picked up dinner from Whole Foods on 5th and Lamar
My new obsession: Tandoor Chef Indian Cuisine, specifically palak paneer. You can get it in the freezer section of Whole Foods. I discovered it while in California two months ago…OMG, it's sooo good, as in I stopped going to Indian restaurants in Cali when I found this. Why fight San Francisco traffic when you can just eat a delicious meal at home? Anyway, palak paneer is a dynamic blend of creamed spinach, curry and other seductive Indian spices adorned with delectable cubes of cheese. Have this over brown rice with a side of naan (kinda like pita bread): heaven!
4:00PM Real Housewives of New York Re-runs
I've been missing them all week- and they're in Morocco! It's so Sex and the City 2…well, not quite.
5:00PM Dinner at Home/Reflection
It was a great Saturday. I started my day getting centered with a little yoga in the park, went window shopping in downtown, and picked up a healthy dinner. I am seriously digging the Austin vibe.
Other Sales: A little birdie told me at a party this past Thursday that Neiman Marcus in Austin is having a great sale right now! It's been going on for a week now so be sure to check it out.
Fashionably Yours,

Today is a good day because we've got a bunch of new features to announce! We're adding two new tools to our suite of social plugins: Welcome bar and Trending content box. You already know about our Share and Follow buttons, used on over 14 million domains. Our new Welcome bar and Trending content box are typical AddThis — easy to install, fully customizable, and backed by actionable real-time analytics. The Welcome bar helps you optimize your site for incoming visitors, and the Trending content box helps you drive more traffic within your site. We've added deeper engagement analytics for our Follow buttons, and now report on copied-text as well. We're giving you the broadest view of your engagement anywhere, and the tools to increase it.
Here's a quick summary of the new stuff.
Welcome bar
The Welcome bar is all about optimizing your site for your incoming visitors. It lets you look at where your visitors are coming from, determines what type of visitor they are, and welcomes them with a specific call-to-action. These calls-to-action are presented as a horizontal bar at the top of the page containing custom messages and action buttons.
These actions will help you optimize for specific goals such as increasing follower counts, growing registrations by rewarding loyalty, and more. For example, want to increase membership by offering a free trial to returning visitors? It's easy.
As with all AddThis social plugins, you'll get in-depth insights into how the Welcome bar is performing via a new module in your analytics summary.
Trending content box
When you use AddThis to power sharing for your site, our data-processing platform knows which content is working for you across your social channels. The Trending content box is a customizable plugin that helps you surface this content to drive more traffic within your site. Designed to fit seamlessly into your pages and automatically feature the most trending, popular, or network-specific content, the Trending content box helps to increase overall traffic and site retention. Want to customize the look of your Trending content box? No problem – we've designed it to be completely configurable to match your site's look-and-feel.
As for analytics, there's a new module on the summary report that shows you how many additional pageviews this plugin is generating for you.
Like the Welcome bar, the Trending content box interface is fully-customizable via APIs — you can grab a great experience out of the box, or make it blend in seamlessly with the rest of your site.
Engagement Analytics
On top of the analytics we've added for the Welcome bar and Trending content box, you'll notice something else the next time you log into your analytics console. We're now showing you copied-text data — key words and phrases your visitors are copying out of your pages. You can see which text is resonating, and which keywords might help you attract new visitors via SEO or potentially keep your visitors engaged longer.
AddThis now gives you the richest real-time view of your social lifecycle. Building on our recently announced Follower reporting, and the full-lifecycle social analytics you already know and love (including our address bar tracking), this new copied-text reporting provides another piece of your social optimization puzzle. And again, its not just about analytics — this data powers all of our social plugins.
We'll be diving deeper into each of these new capabilities, and the ways in which you can use them to drive traffic and engagement, in followup posts over the coming week or two. For now, check em out and let us know what you think!

I've long thought that we fans sometimes get too amped up about the first game of the playoffs, even the first two games, in terms of deciding who is going to win and who is playing well, etc. (For the record, I've always thought Game 4 was a harbinger of how a tight series might go, more than what we see in the first couple of games...) The current Ranger-Caps series is a bit of an example. Too many folks were writing off the rangers after the first two games. But we need to see everyobody play at home and on the road before we can, with some degree of confidence, comment on how things might turn out.
And even then, we never really know.
And even then, we never really know.
I guess I feel this way, in part, because I've seen too many times when a series changes, the momentum suddenly shifts and things suddenly are way different than they looked in the first game or two.
I can cite, off the top of my head, a few instances where excitement—and assumptions made—about the first couple of games of a playoff series turned out to be just flat out wrong.
Back in 1966 the Red Wings (I was so cheering for the Wings, because I couldn't stand
Montreal), behind Roger Crozier, a young acrobatic left-handed goalie, absolutely stoned in the first two games of the Stanley Cup finals. The Habs couldn't solve Crozier (see the great old game-action photo of Crozier and Montreal's Yvan Cournoyer at right), and to add insult to injury, the Wings had captured the first two games of the series right at the Forum in Montreal . I mean, that was absolutely un-heard of in those days, given how strong those Montreal teams always were. Montreal
Surely, observers of the time felt, the Wings would be able to win just two more games, since they had three home game scheduled out of the next four in the series.
I remember it like it was yesterday. The teams had four days off, I believe it was, because of scheduling for
television (believe it or not) between games. U.S. Detroit coach Sid Abel took the Wings to to relax and go to the race track—get away from hockey for a few days, he figured. Toledo, Ohio
By the time the series re-convened, the Wings, even though they were at home, came out flat and
came out flying. Throw in an injury to Crozier, and before you knew it, Montreal had won four straight (Henri Richard scored a fluke goal to win Game 6 in overtime) and the Red Wings didn't know what just happened. Montreal
More recently, in the spring of 1993, we all remember that the Red Wings just hammered the Leafs in the first two game of their quarter-final series. There were a lot of words directed at Wendel Clark (by Red Wing players, not to mention Leaf fans) after Game two, about how 'soft' he had played in
in the opening two games. Detroit
The rest of that series is etched in blue and white history.
Clark hammered most of the Red Wings he saw the rest of that series and the Leafs won four out of the next five to win the epic series in 7 on that memorable Borschesvky overtime tip-in.
But my favorite (actually, one of my more depressing hockey/Leaf memories) example of why I try not to jump to quick conclusions in the playoffs goes back in 1977. The Leafs were playing the Flyers for the third season in a row in the playoffs.
To provide some context, in 1975 the "Broad Street Bullies" were in their prime and the Leafs just couldn't handle them.
lost in four straight. Toronto
In 1976, with Darryl Sittler leading the way and a young team just beginning to emerge, (including Lanny McDonald who really blossomed that year) they took the rugged Flyers to 7 games.
Then, in 1977, (you can click on the year to read more about that great series) an even better Leaf team shocked the Flyers, and the hockey world, by grabbing the first two-games of the series against the Flyers right in the Spectrum in
. Philadelphia
It was a tremendous moment for the Leafs—and to be a Leaf fan.
It felt like maybe, just maybe, we were about to exorcise years of playoff futility (little did we know at the time just what futility could mean in Leafland), and having been knocked around by the Flyers for the past few years, including in the playoffs.
But here is what happened: moments after Game 2 ended, the one and only Dave "Tiger" Williams (you had to love the Tiger…) was interviewed in the corridor in the corner of the Spectrum on live TV.
When asked about the Flyers, the tough Leaf winger said, matter of factly: "They're done like dinner".
Oh well. It's good to be confident, I suppose.
I was at Game 3 at Maple Leaf Gardens. The Leafs had a 2-0 lead after one period and I remember that Bill Barber, the fine winger of the Flyers, was interviewed in between periods on Hockey Night in Canada. Barber looked like he had no idea what was going on. He was stunned. The Leafs were in control, it seemed- and he knew it
But the Flyers chipped away, came back and tied the game. Errol Thompson put the Leafs ahead 3-2 late in the game on a backhander, but Borje Salming couldn't clear the puck in the dying seconds and Bobby Clarke either scored or set up the tying goal, I can't remember.
The Flyers won Game 3 in OT, and did exactly the same in Game 4. A late goal to tie, and they won it in OT.
The Leafs were done….like dinner. Flyers won the series in 6.
I have no idea if the Bruins will be able to bounce back in this series, but here's my guess: no one in the
dressing room will dare say anything about the Bruins being "done like dinner" just yet. They will say all the correct things for public consumption. Montreal
It would be more fun if someone pulled a Tiger, for sure, but I don't see that happening.

Cleveland Pear Brown Leaves
Also known as "Chanticleer," "Cleveland Select" (Pyrus calleryana "Cleveland Select") is an ornamental pear cultivar lauded for its resistance to fire blight, a common pear disease. "Cleveland Select" is not immune to all diseases, however. A pear tree with brown leaves may be suffering from a disease such as Entomosporium leaf spot or bacterial blight. A nutrient deficiency may also be to blame.
Entomosporium Leaf Spot
Entomosporium leaf spot is a fungal disease that initially appears as small reddish-brown spots, which become larger and darker over time. White spores may be present under a glossy membrane. Premature leaf drop may also occur. To help remedy the problem, remove and destroy all infected leaves, whether they're on or off the tree. Prune lower branches to improve air circulation. Avoid splashing water on the tree's leaves, as the fungus prefers a moist environment.
Bacterial Blight
Bacterial blight causes a host of symptoms, such as large, irregular brown patches on leaves, blossom and tip dieback and brown or black lesions on flowers and stems. Bacterial blight is especially prevalent during long, rainy spring weather. If only evident on the leaves, bacterial blight is not generally considered serious. If cankers appear on the trunk, however, the tree is unlikely to survive and should be removed, according to the University of California Statewide Integrated Pest Management Program. Avoid over-fertilizing and overhead irrigation.
Nutrient Deficiency
Nutrient deficiencies can cause leaf problems ranging from brown, discolored leaves to reduced flower production. According to UC IPM, nutrient deficiencies are generally caused not by a deficiency in the soil, but because the plant has difficulty accessing them due to factors such as water-logged soil. Though tolerant of clay soil, "Cleveland Select" will grow better in a well-draining loam enhanced with humus. A foliar spray containing iron may help revive the canopy's green color.
"Cleveland Select" may be grown in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 5 to 9, according to the Missouri Botanical Garden. Monrovia recommends the tree for USDA zones 5 to 8. In warmer climates, leaves may become scorched. The pear is somewhat drought tolerant once established but prefers regular watering throughout the growing season. Water at least once a week during extreme heat and apply a thin layer of mulch to retain moisture in the soil.

Participate in CC's Plan for the Future
October 23, 2012
Dear Students on Leave,
I hope that you are having a wonderful experience away from campus this semester!
While you are away from Colorado College on another adventure, I want to be sure you are included in the college's strategic planning process. This process will shape the future of our institution for at least the next decade, and it is important that we have participation from all CC community members.
As you know, I spent my first year at Colorado College listening to students, staff, alumni, faculty, parents, and other friends who make up this special place. As a result of my listening, I gained a clearer picture of our strengths, opportunities, challenges, and aspirations. Additionally, conversations and research from the Year of Listening informed promising strategies that have guided where we are now, the Year of Planning.
I have created four committees to help guide our planning process. The committees consist of faculty and staff members from departments and constituencies around the college, and students who were appointed by the CCSGA. The committees have four distinct areas of focus: (1) increasing our focus on engaged teaching and learning, (2) emphasizing our distinctive place in the world, (3) extending our reach to become better known for what we do, and (4) enhancing institutional effectiveness and efficiency to better position the college for evolving changes in higher education.
Knowing that a successful planning process must involve extensive participation and reliable input from the Colorado College community, I want to invite you to contribute. I know students bring particularly valuable insights and thoughts to the overall planning process, and I value any input you may have.
The easiest way to learn more about the process and participate is by accessing "Strategic Planning" via our Colorado College website. To learn more about the Year of Planning, please watch the following video: Strategic Planning Process. I encourage you to contribute by utilizing the input/feedback box located here: http://www.coloradocollege.edu/offices/presidentsoffice/strategicplanning/ .
Thank you for your engagement in this important process. Please let me know if there are any questions or concerns.
I look forward to welcoming you back to campus soon!
Warm regards,
Jill Tiefenthaler

I don't doubt that it was largely the product of extremely biased huffy Sydney-is-the-best-stuff-the-rest reporting which is oh so typical of SMH, but with quotes like….
"Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it isn't there," she said.
"That's not the city's fault. That's your shortcoming."
"It's your capital and you need get to know it better," she told Australians, imploring them to visit."You could update your opinion. Save yourself the embarrassment of displaying constant ignorance about your own capital city."
…. I couldn't help but think of the "where the bloody hell are you?" failed Tourism Australia campaign when reading this SMH article on a speech made by the Creative Director of Canberra's 2013 Centenary bash, Robyn Archer, at the National Press Club this week.
While I'm not disagreeing at all with the underlying truth of Robyn's statements (especially that a lot of people who slag off Canberra have either never been here at all or only for a 2 day grade 7 school excursion), I'm not sure how effective a marketing campaign for tourism is when you're insulting the potential tourists/visitors. Thoughts?
There is a poll attached to the article – Riot Acters should definitely vote in that (amazingly the numbers are in Canberra's favour at the moment!) but I wouldn't recommend reading beyond the article into the comments section which is mainly filled with more Smogney self-importance.
UPDATE 05/04/12 15:22: The text of the speech is now available

Tamil Nadu is a gem of a state, it surprises tourists in more than one way and gifts visitors experiences that can never be forgotten. One of the ways that the state pleases tourists is by offering them with such gorgeous hill stations, which are ideal for a perfect holiday. Adorned with lush rolling mountains, expansive tea and coffee gardens, pretty waterfalls and heartwarming weather, these hill destinations are worth falling in love with.
Here are the most popular hill stations for an unforgettable holiday in Tamil Nadu:

The 'Snooty Ooty' needs no introduction. Dressed in green and adorned with charming English lanes and houses, Ooty beckons holidaymakers from far and wide. In fact, I have always believed that this beautiful Tamil Nadu hill station can give a run for money to any North Indian hill destination. It is part of the three important hill stations of Nilgiri and is said to be the most popular one for a holiday in Tamil Nadu. Weary, happy, romantic or looking for solace, no matter what your mood is like, you can count on Ooty to add or restore freshness to your life. Click here to get Ooty holiday guide.
Popular Attractions: Ooty Lake, Botanical Gardens, Tea Factory, Doddabatta Peak, Government Rose Gardens, Pykara, St. Stephen's Church, Wax World, Deer Park, Tribal Museum.
How to Reach: Ooty is well connected through roads and trains with the a number of cities in Tamil Nadu and neighbouring states. The Nilgiri Mountain Railway is the best and the most exciting way to reach here as the railway has been as a UNESCO world heritage site and the train to Ooty follows quite a picturesque route.

Want to plan a short getaway with your partner, somewhere you can enjoy the company of each other and get oodles of pretty picture with a stunning background? Well, then pick Kodaikanal and you will thank me for ages to suggest it to you. I know sometimes places can get really overrated and when you make it to the destination you find nothing that can interest you. However, Kodai (like everyone calls it) will not give you the chance to get disappointed. Its lush greenery, rolling hills, a strange quietness and of course pleasant weather shall make you fall in love with it. Perfect for hiking, taking a stroll, watching the verdant wildlife and definitely for basking in the sun, Kodai gives you enough reasons to choose it for a hill station holiday in Tamil Nadu. Do you know, that that this pretty hilly town is also home to a special kind of flowers called Neelakurnji Flowers that can bloom once in 12 years and when they do, boy they make the place look like a piece of heaven! See Kodaikanal trip guide here.
Popular Attractions: Berijam Lake, Coakers Walk, Kodai Lake, Kurinjiandavar Temple, Dolphin's Nose, Bryant Park, Kodaikanal Solar Observatory, Green Valley View.
How to Reach: The best and easiest way to reach Kodaikanal is by taking a flight or train to Madurai, which is some 120 kms away. From Madurai, bus and taxi services are available for Kodaikanal.

Yelagiri is not a hill station, it is in fact a region that comprises 14 beautiful villages in the Vellore district. Therefore, if your idea is to sit in one place and get the most stunning views of the landscape, then you are going to have a tough time deciding where should you finally settle down for a sloppy afternoon. All the viewpoints and destinations are so stunning that you can't help hopping from one place to another, may be that's a good reason why trekking is one of the best activities here.
Popular Attractions: Punganoor Lake Park, Jalagamparai Waterfalls, Nature Park, Telescope Observatory, Jalagandeeswarar Temple, Government Herbal Farm, Swamimalai Hills, Velavan Murugan Temple.
How to Reach: The best way to reach Yelagiri is to first make it till Bengaluru, which is some 150 kms away. From Bengaluru, buses and taxis are available for Yelagiri.

Kolli Hills is a refreshing hill station in Tamil Nadu specially when you take up a challenge of crossing 70 bends/curves to reach here. And the reason why you would like to re-visit this hill station is that it is still lesser known, and thus catches less attention of the tourists. Your options for holiday is to bask in the sun in the lawns of your resort or you can hike the less travelled trails and relish some incredible views of the lush forests surrounding this place. The weather is also an asset and you would love having intermittent tea breaks when you can sit at some pretty place against equally surreal background listening to the sound of nature.
Popular Attractions: Seekuparai Viewpoint, Agaya Gangai Waterfalls, Semmedu, Masila Falls, Selur Nadu, and the Botanical Garden.
How to Reach: The nearest railway station to Kolli Hills is at Salem, which is almost 90 kms away. Trichy station is also located relatively close and from both these destinations taxis to Kolli Hills are available.

Yercaud sits pretty in the Eastern Ghats amidst the gorgeous Shevaroys Range of Hills and is probably the most popular hill station for a vacation in Tamil Nadu. The best thing about Yercaud is the diversity that one gets to see here. The hill station is adorned with a scenic lake, a stunning waterfall and plenty of places where you can hike to or bask at. I mean on a hill station holiday what more can one need than a beautiful location, tranquility and less travelled roads that lead to some place exotic. Read Yercaud holiday information here.
Popular Attractions: Yercaud Lake, 32-km Loop Road, Pagoda Point, Servaroyan Temple, Kiliyur Waterfall, Lady's Seat, Silk Farm and Rose Garden, Deer Park, Norton's Bungalow, Bear's Cave, Kottachedu Teak Forest, Anna Park, Orchidarium.
How to Reach: The best way to reach Yercaud is through Salem, where the railway junction is situated. Salem is only 35 kms from Yercaud, one can take a taxi or a bus to reach the destination.

Coonoor sounds so much better to me as an option for a holiday in Tamil Nadu hill stations, because number one, it is less crowded and number two, it has many unexplored trekking trails. The two options make it a destination obviously for nature lovers, but honeymoon couples would also like the idea of visiting here. Coonoor is surrounded by expansive tea gardens and some beautiful rolling mountains to feast your eyes on. Also, it is a great place for birdwatching as well. My advice would be however to choose the Upper Coonoor region because the lower part can set a wrong expression about peacefulness of this place. Get holiday information of Coonoor here.
Popular Attractions: Sim's Park, Dolphin's Nose Viewpoint
How to Reach: Coonoor can be easily reached from Coimbatore, which is the nearest airport, situated at a distance of 71 kms and Mettupalayam, which is the closest railway junction, located some 45 kms away.
Photo: https://goo.gl/h5XYZX
The smallest of the Nilgiri hill station, Kotagiri is something that a nature lover will find a delight in. Beautiful and serene, this place has endless red dirt trails amidst the pine for leisurely strolls and spectacular landscape to relish. Kotagiri also offers a number of cottages and lodges which add to the lovely vacation experience here. View trip guide of Kotagiri here.
Popular Attractions: Catherine Falls, Elk Falls, Doddabetta Range, Rangaswami Pillar, and Kodanad Point
How to Reach: Kotagiri can be easily reached from Coimbatore, which is the nearest airport, situated at a distance of about 47km kms and Mettupalayam, which is the closest railway junction, located some 31 kms away.
Here you have it, the most beautiful hill stations in Tamil Nadu to go on a holiday. So, now don't put off a plan to visit one of these destinations with your loved ones or even solo; and let us at Tour My India help you have the best trip. You can give us a call at +91-9212553106/07 or even send us an email at email@example.com for our attractive travel packages and discounts.

Intended to do a more serious post today, but seriously, Dutch literature test tomorrow?
Dutch literature. The fuck. (Yes, Dutch is my native language, stop asking, newcomers.) It's boring as hell and I really don't see the use in knowing all that bullshit. Just, uhgod. Also, why immediately after the break? They're torturing us, I tell you. They're torturing us and I don't like it one bit.
But that isn't even the worst part. Worst part is I thought the test was only 10%. Okay, I can take a blow from that. But I just checked, the test accounts for 15% of your final grade. Fuck, that's a bit too much to just rigorously fuck up on. Average for Dutch currently is a 6.4, kind of want to see if I can bump that up to a 6.5 or higher for rounded-down-grades purposes.
So yeah. Got a 10-page summary here which a friend of mine kindly gave to me (THANK YOU), so that may be my only possible ticket to something a bit closer to succes than total failure. Pray for me, and hope I can get this studied in time.

Our bodies will sweat to cool off. Most cases of sweating are when the weather is warm or we are moving excessively such as running or moving when we exercise. When the weather is warm we sweat much more than when it is cool. Patients that suffer from hyperhidrosis are different.
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that occurs when a person sweats terribly and quite often. This medical condition will show a patient sweating excessively and almost unpredictably. Many people will normally sweat when they overheat or moving excessively. Basically patients suffering from the condition of hyperhidrosis will sweat when they are cool or even resting.
What is the cause?
Sweating is triggered by internal or external factors. For an example, we sweat when the weather is hot outside or when we are moving quite a bit such as exercising. We can also trigger internal sweat responses such as if we are afraid or nervous in a situation. Embarrassment can also create a sweating situation. Excessive sweating is defined as sweating without any internal or external triggers occurring.
The cause of hyperhidrosis appears to be over acting sweat glands. There is extreme discomfort with excessive sweating that is both emotional as well as physical.
Different kinds of hyperhidrosis
Excessive sweating that occurs with this condition in the hands, feet and armpits is defined as secondary hyperhidrosis. There are some other conditions that can lead to secondary hyperhidrosis.
- Anxiety disorders
- Cancer
- Acromegaly
- Some prescription medications
- Substance abuse can also cause secondary hyperhidrosis
- Hyperthyroidism
- Stoke
- Injury to the spinal cord
- Parkinson
- Menopause
- Glucose control disorders
- tuberculosis
Primary hyperhidrosis will affect other parts of the body and afflicts about 3 percent of the population. However, less than 40% of these patients seek medical intervention for the condition.
Diagnosis is made with observation and your physician will generally ask you more questions about your condition. Laboratory tests can also confirm the condition. Lab tests include starch iodine test and paper test. There is usually several visits to your physician to confirm primary or secondary hyperhidrosis.
Antiperspirant and deodorant-excessive sweating treated with antiperspirants will prevent sweating. Deodorants will cover the bacteria produced by sweating to stop the body odor that can occur. Products that have up to 20% of aluminum chloride hexahydrate will prevent underarm sweating. You can also get a prescription for products that contain more of the aluminum chloride hexahydrate. There are some drawbacks to larger doses of the chemical. Clothing can be damaged and some patients experience skin irritation.
Prescription medications-anticholinergic prescriptions prevent sweat glands from stimulating and producing sweat. An example of this type of prescription is Robinul. There are some major side effects with these types of prescriptions such as dizziness and dry mouth. Patients will also experience problems urinating. Beta blockers or benzodiazepines help patients that have stress related sweating such as thyroid or anxiety disorders.
Botox-Botox is a FDA approved treatment that is used for excessive sweating where the patient will receive the injections in the underarms. The Botox blocks the underarm sweat glands from working to produce sweat. Small doses of Botox is used to temporarily block sweat glands that will give relief to sufferers of primary axillary hyperhidrosis.
Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy-commonly referred to as ETS which is a small invasive surgical procedure and is usually only recommended when all other treatments have failed. The surgery will disconnect the signal the body sends that causes excessive sweating. This is generally performed for patients that sweat in their hands excessively. ETS has not been shown to work well for excessive sweating in the armpits.
The prognosis for those patients seeking medical treatment for excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis is generally good.
Botox-after a few weeks the excessive sweating is generally resolved. One injection of Botox can last several months.
Aluminum chloride-a patient can sometimes need to use it up to seven times a week. Following the control of the excessive sweating, patients only need to use aluminum chloride once every three or four weeks. If patients have a side effect of irritation of the skin, physicians can give steroid based creams to help control the irritation.
If you have excessive sweating you may have hyperhidrosis. Though, a doctor will need to diagnosis your medical condition. Visiting with a physician can also discover if you have an underlying medical condition that will be treated to stop your excessive sweating.

AceShowbiz - Kelly Clarkson was one of the stars who appeared on "Saturday Night Live" over the weekend and helped the show gain its highest ratings in one year. She delivered flawless performances on the episode which was hosted by Charles Barkley.
The winner of "American Idol" season 1 sang two singles, "Mr. Know It All" and "What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)", both of which come from her latest studio album "Stronger". She donned a maroon mini dress when performing the former, and rocked a black ensemble when playing the latter.
"SNL was so much fun last night! Thank you everybody for all the sweet comments :) back in rehearsals today for tour. It's gonna be a killer show! I can't wait for y'all to see it!" Kelly tweeted.
Before the airing of the show, the Texan-born singer expressed her interest to do a sketch. "My skit I wanted to do was 'The Voice'. I wanted Charles Barkley to be on his knees and play Cee-Lo [Green] and I wanted to be Christina," she said. "I just love that show, so I wanted to totally make fun of it. I make fun of things I like!"
She herself has been tapped as one of the guest mentors in the upcoming season of the talent show. She's set to team up with Miranda Lambert to help Blake Shelton coach his team. The other guest mentors are Lionel Richie, Jewel Kilcher, Babyface, Ne-Yo, Alanis Morissette and Robin Thicke.

Houston has an impaired driving problem. Solutions are available, but they can be taxing
OUT OF CONTROL: Drivers impaired by booze and drugs are dying — and killing — in the Houston area at a startling rate, an epidemic unchecked by police, prosecutors or public-awareness campaigns. A Houston Chronicle analysis reveals why, and what we need to do about it.
If state leaders adopt the most proven ways to reduce drunken driving, Texans will pay either in money, convenience or their sense of freedom.
Each potential solution comes with either a financial cost, such as money for more police, or a political cost, such as asking lawmakers to approve using sobriety checkpoints or to lower blood-alcohol limits for drivers, researchers say. Lower limits would come over the objections of the alcoholic beverage industry, and elected officials say checkpoints are an illegal search of innocent drivers.
OUT OF CONTROL: Houston is 'ground zero' for drunken and drugged driving
"There are two underutilized strategies (checkpoints and a lower BAC) we have the science behind, yet this country won't do them," said James Fell, who worked at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for three decades before joining the nonpartisan research organization NORC at the University of Chicago.
Sobriety checkpoints, conducted frequently in 37 states, have been shown by studies in the past decade to reduce drunken-driving crashes, injuries and fatalities by 15 percent to 20 percent. Earlier this year, researchers with the World Health Organization estimated that each checkpoint saves between $1,500 and $3,000 when the cost of operating it is compared to the reductions in crash investigations, loss of life and property and other factors of crashes.
Meanwhile, the National Transportation Safety Board in 2013 called for the legal blood-alcohol limit to be lowered to .05, citing evidence from numerous studies that drivers with a .08 BAC are more likely to die in a driving crash than someone with a lower limit.
A report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine released in January estimated that a BAC reduction to .05 would cause DWI-related crashes to fall by 11 percent. That would save around 1,800 lives a year in the U.S.
Science, however, doesn't necessarily guide lawmaking.
RELATED: Officers find themselves on 'high' alert for impaired drivers
The American Beverage Institute, a national industry lobbying group, calls lower BAC limits a "distraction" that won't seriously curb drunken driving. Sarah Longwell, the institute's managing director, said that the vast majority of DWI-related fatalities are caused by drivers with high BAC levels.
"It's just very, very clear where the problem is," Longwell said. "So we want to focus on solutions that target those high BAC repeaters who cause alcohol-related fatalities, and this law doesn't do that."
Disabling the car
The alcohol industry, researchers, elected officials and victim advocates do seem to agree on the more common use of interlock devices, a vehicle-installed breathalyzer test that won't allow the car to start if it detects alcohol in the driver's system.
The devices have been used for years for repeat and severe DWI offenders, notably those charged with a blood-alcohol content above 0.15.
Texas law allows judges to order some defendants to install interlocks to continue driving, and first-time offenders now can opt to keep driving with one of the devices.
About 500 vendors are approved to install 20 different types of interlock devices in Texas, with costs ranging based on the complexity and oversight of the system. Some vendors waive installation fees, and monthly costs vary from $65 to $90, paid by the driver to the companies that verify and track the devices.
TREATMENT: Courts look to cure offenders, not corral them
"It is really one of the only treatments that is truly effective," said Troy Walden, director of the Center for Drug and Alcohol Education at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute.
Interlocks remain on the vehicle until the specifics of the sentence are carried out. In many cases, drivers need to have the interlock for a period of one or two years. In extreme cases, judges can order the person to use the interlock until they show the court proof of completion of an alcohol treatment program.
In its latest assessment of interlock use in Texas, Mothers Against Drunk Driving estimated the devices stopped 244,991 attempts to drive drunk from 2006 to 2016. In a 2016 study by the California Department of Motor Vehicles, researchers found interlocks were more effective at keeping drivers off the road than suspending licenses.
Since 2015, first-time DWI offenders in Texas can agree to have an interlock installed to avoid an automatic license suspension. Though in its early stages, the program has proved beneficial, said state Rep. Jason Villalba, R-Dallas, who authored the legislation.
"We don't have the data yet, but I do believe over the next five years, I think, you are going to see decreases in drunken-driving fatalities," Villalba said. "Is it the panacea that will end drunken driving in Texas? No. But I would say it is a good first step."
Walden said researchers are less confident about changing people's long-term habits.
"While the ignition interlock is on the car, it is effective," he said. "How effective is the use of that treatment in reducing the repeat of DWI once it is off the vehicle? Well, it really is no more or less effective. ... It seems that folks go back to (drinking and driving) again."

The Congress is leading over the BJP by a margin of over 7,300 votes in the first two hours of counting of votes for the Jayanagar Assembly constituency. While Congress candidate Sowmya Reddy was leading with 27,195 votes till 10 am, BJP's B N Prahlad had secured 19,873 votes, poll officials said. Fifty-five percent polling was recorded in the Jayanagar Assembly constituency on June 11.
The assembly elections were held across the state on May 12, but a poll in Jayanagar was countermanded following the death of BJP candidate B N Vijayakumar, who was holding the seat. BJP's B N Prahlad, brother of Vijaykumar, and senior Congress leader and former minister Ramalinga Reddy's daughter Sowmya Reddy are locked in a direct contest for the seat. In all, nineteen candidates are in the fray.
Ahead of the polls, Janata Dal(S) had on June 5 pulled out its candidate from the contest and extended the party's support to its ruling coalition partner, the Congress. This was the first election after coming to power, where both coalition partners had joined hands. Both Congress and JD(S) had fielded candidates against each other, despite being coalition partners, in the recent election to the Rajarajeshwari Nagar Assembly seat in the city. Congress candidate Munirathna had won the seat, relegating the JD(S) candidate to a distant third behind BJP.
