MADRID (MarketWatch)—For the past few years, it's been a summer ritual for Sergio González: He bids his wife farewell as she heads to her homeland of Japan with their two children, leaving the Madrid native on his own in the city for nearly three months.
He's staying behind to work, but what he's getting from the arrangement is a breather from the routine burdens of family living. "I do exactly what I cannot do when they are here. I can read, I can watch TV, I can go to the cinema, I can hang out," says González, a 40-year-old graphic designer. "It's like going back to my 20s. My life is hippyish."
González, an entrepreneur in addition to being a graphic artist, is one of thousands of Spanish workers who get this kind of idyllic summer break—a separation that for decades has turned dads (and, increasingly, moms) into temporary singletons. The custom has its roots in the peculiarities of Spain's economy and geography. But it takes its name and spirit from the 1965 film comedy, "El cálido verano del Sr. Rodríguez" (translation: "The Hot Summer of Mr. Rodríguez"), which recounts the adventures of a middle-class man whose wife and children take a summer break while he stays behind to work and cope on his own. (It's not unlike the 1955 U.S. classic "The Seven-Year Itch.")
"Estar de Rodríguez" (translation: "To be on Rodríguez") is what you hear those fortunate few say of their status, most always with a smile, and notably in August when summer-camp options dry up and children are spirited away, usually by one parent or the other, from the city to small villages, beaches, the mountains or abroad.
González's Rodríguez break is unusually long because of his wife's nationality, and he often passes the time with other Spanish men in similar situations. While the house stays clean and the burdens light, there is a price, he says.
"I don't know how to cook," admits González, with a laugh. "I just buy anything from the market. That's the most difficult thing. My wife, before she goes, cooks 50 dishes and puts them in the freezer. But they're gone because it's been three months, and now I eat anything, anywhere."
The Rodríguez film came out at a time when the roles of women and men were largely traditional, in the latter years of Francisco Franco's dictatorship—with most women acting as full-time mothers and homemakers. But the modern version of this summer break has undergone a transformation in recent years, with the rise of two-income families in which partners and parents are often forced to vacation at different times to fulfill work obligations. Spain's recent economic crisis, which has left around 25% of the population out of work, has made it even harder for those who have jobs to take vacation when and where they want it.
Increasingly, 'señor' is a señora
Lidia Martín Araujo, 39, is a journalist living in Madrid who was recently enjoying a brief few days of a Rodríguez break while her husband vacationed with their 10-month-old child. Sleeping, seeing a movie and catching up with friends were the highlights she was looking forward to.
She also recently blogged about the transformation of the tradition. "I have many friends who are on Rodríguez, because more and more, and due to the crisis, partners can't reject summer work, and one will sacrifice for the good of the other," she says.
The economic crisis has drawn more Spanish women into the workforce. Data from the National Statistics Office shows that 3.4 million women were classified as breadwinners in the second quarter of this year. That compares with 1.2 million who claimed that status in the first quarter of 2002. It's a big jump, even when accounting for population growth of 15% over roughly the same period. As a result, it's increasingly frequent that "Señor Rodríguez" is a señora.
The annual Rodríguez break for Jose Cardinas Iglesias, 44, who lives in a suburb of Madrid with his wife and two children, is a reflection of the difficult times Spaniards have endured over the last few years.
Iglesias is the sole breadwinner for his family, and the crisis has meant a struggle to maintain his business catering fruits and meats to the hotel industry. Before the downturn hit in late 2008, his workday would start at 4 or 5 a.m. and he'd be home by 2 or 2:30 p.m., in time for lunch. But since then he has had to work several more hours in a day—starting at 1:15 a.m. and still not finishing until 2 p.m. He also works six days a week.
His family has managed to hold on to their summer beach tradition. His wife spends August at the seaside with the children and her parents, while Iglesias drives back and forth between Madrid, where he works, and their vacation spot in Valencia. He makes the four-hour journey twice a week, which leaves little time for Rodríguez spoils. Like Gonzales, he doesn't cook, so he eats poorly unless he visits his mother's house.
"I don't have much time, and I'm also not in Madrid much, only in the afternoons, and sometimes I go out then," says Iglesias. "That is my Rodríguez."
August is traditionally the month when many in Spain try to take at least part of their holiday, and the exodus out of places like Madrid is largely due to the fact that some businesses close their doors entirely. A famous bakery in Madrid's center, a local fish market, a butcher, and many others are shut; government offices operate with skeleton staffs.
Robert Tornabell, former dean of the ESADE Business School in Barcelona, says the Rodríguez tradition is native to Madrid in particular because of the city's size and its location so far inland. Many middle-class and wealthy families have or had second homes in the nearby mountains, or at the beach, at which to escape the summer heat. Other people would return to their village roots.
Tornabell says the Rodríguez tradition a got a new injection of life when money poured into Spain after it attained EU membership in 1986. Before that, Spain was a "very, very poor country," Tornabell says. "Thanks to the funds coming from Brussels, that helped to build new infrastructure—trains and so on."
Now, though, empty apartments litter the coastal areas of Spain, the result of a housing bust that fueled a multiyear recession that's just barely beginning to ease.
The Rodríguez break is by no means a purely Spanish phenomenon. France and other southern European countries have their own versions, while some Americans, including Manhattanites like the New Yorker in the "Seven Year Itch," get a similar break, provided they can afford it and one partner is free to take the kids away. (Unlike in Spain and other European countries, U.S. law doesn't guarantee paid vacation, and Americans generally take shorter holidays than most others in the industrialized West. Read Americans take only half of their paid vacation.)
The end of an urban legend
One thing that seems to have changed in Spain, Tornabell says, is the risqué romantic myth surrounding the Rodríguez. In the Spanish film, Señor Rodríguez fantasizes about a "canita al aire"—in short, an affair—while unencumbered in the city. However, in the end, he realizes how much he loves and misses his wife.
"In Spain they say Rodríguez men are womanizers, they try to ligar [to have an affair]," says Tornabell. "I guess that is another urban story, made popular by many movies before the crisis. I think everyone now has to work hard, even in Madrid. Everyone has to cut expense, and for the man it is very difficult to ligar."
As Sergio González points out, and as those old movies reflected, there is a longing for family that comes at times, even on shorter breaks. "The first days, weeks are very nice, but the time passes, and then I miss them."

HAIM team up with Leonard Friend for a brand-new "Falling" remix (and video).
Los Angeles indie rock sister act HAIM seem kind of in love with everything retro, and frankly we're still reeling from their '90s R&B meets Fleetwood Mac single, "Falling." So it's probably a good idea that the 2013 mtvU Woodies performers would team up with R&B-pop singer-producer Alex Feder, aka Leonard Friend, to remix their highly addictive single, which comes newly packaged with auditory references to Zapp, Phil Collins, and TLC. (What, no Fleetwood?). Oh, AND there's a groovy (that's a purposeful adjective -- you'll see why in a second) new music video to match!
Watch HAIM's "Falling (Leonard Friend Remix)" video after the jump.
Friend, a synth-loving singer of such songs as "Holograms," "Middle Of The Night," and "The Year I Die," AND rearranger of Justin Timberlake's "Suit & Tie," keeps HAIM's fundamental song melody, but slows it down to a synthy, electronic-tinged jive. As for its adjoining video, the entire clip is a can't-look-away montage of old-school dance scenes, including, but not limited to, Jean-Claude Van Damme In "Kickboxer," John Travolta in "The Experts," and Eddie Murphy in "Wonderworld." No other words will suffice -- HAIM's new clip is exactly as good as it sounds. Because why else do B-list film archives exist, if not to get mashed up in remix videos?
Get ready to "fall" again below.

Famous for its spectacular dive sites, the Solomon Islands are just as intriguing above the water as they are below. Hiding a myriad of sunken warships and stunning reefs beneath their translucent waters, the islands themselves are like a pristine paradise that time forgot.
The archipelago of the Solomon Islands consists of just under 1000 islands, sprawling luxuriously for 400,000 square kilometres through the South Pacific. As tiny, relatively undiscovered pearls in the yachting world, the Solomons create the rare feeling of being among the first to set foot in some of the world's most beautiful oases.
Being virtually unexplored, the waters of the Solomon Islands are simply brimming with fantastic big game fishing opportunities. Unspoiled by commercial fishing, the ocean is a private fishing paradise for Pacific sailfish, striped marlin, Spanish mackerel, Wahoo, tuna, giant trevally, red bass and coral trout.
Diving and Snorkelling
With delightfully warm waters that boast vibrant coral gardens in a kaleidoscope of colours, shallow wrecks and exhilarating drop offs teeming with hundreds of species of tropical fish, there is no mystery as to why the Solomon Islands is a world-renowned SCUBA diving and snorkelling destination.
The Solomons are split into nine distinctly unique provinces, all in various stages of development but all enriched with the arresting spirit that makes the islands so appealing.
Western Province
The Western Province is the most developed of the islands and where the most modern and luxurious resorts can be found. A swirling blend of verdant greens, bone whites and fading blues, the lagoons that surround this beautiful province are a true joy to behold from the deck or from a scenic flight high above. Particularly brilliant is Marovo Lagoon, the largest saltwater lagoon in the world and the pride of the Western Province.
Ghizo and Kennedy Islands
Ghizo Island boasts some captivating open-air markets and exhilarating hikes to the panoramic lookout. A short sail away is the famous Kennedy Island, where some superb sandy beaches and coral reefs make for excellent snorkelling and dive sites.
Choiseul Province
Choiseul Province in the northwest is home to Choiseul Bay, whose gorgeous waterfalls and attractive villages make it well worth a day trip. Be sure to keep an eye on the waters as you cruise the Bay as it is not uncommon to spot a float of majestic saltwater crocodiles gliding through the calm waters.

The Santos Dumont has always been my favorite model from the collection, may be because it was Cartier's first wrist watch and also the first wrist watch in the world, but I am sure also because it is a pretty niche model. It's one of those pieces that has always been produced in precious metals only and not on a very large scale. Throughout the years it is still one of the more exclusive time pieces, in the collection. At the SIHH in Geneva, last January, Cartier presented a completely new and very exiting model, but before we get to that, let's go back to where it started and highlight part of it's evolution, from the seventies till today.
The Santos Dumont watch was originally designed by Louis Cartier for his friend, the aviator Alberto Santos Dumont and it was November 12th. 1906 that Santos Dumont succeeded in setting the first world record, recognized by the Aero-Club De France by flying 220 metres in less than 22 seconds. But it took until 1911, before Santos Dumont watches were sold commercially. Between the twenties and sixties there were different case and dial variations, with baton hands and with Breguet style hands, but in the seventies the model was pretty much what it was until 2008. A very flat yellow gold or platinum case, lunette and baton style hands. The movement was a mechanical caliber by Fredrique Piguet.
For the 90th anniversary of the Santos Dumont watch, Cartier presented in 1994 a limited edition of 90 pieces of that same model, in platinum, but with a salmon dial and Breguet style hands. Same movement, same dimensions. Very smart combination. The strap was alligator, also on the inside and blue hand stitching.
The 100th. anniversary in 2004, was the real anniversary for the Santos and Cartier presented the large Santos 100 model, a re issue of the Santos Dumont 1913. and a new model without the lunette and a more TV screen shaped case.
The Santos Dumont 1913, was only available in yellow gold, had a case that was slightly smaller than the existing platinum model and had a non adjustable folding buckle, exactly the way the first folding buckles were made. Very beautiful, but the strap had always to be custom made for the owner.
The 2004 model of the Santos Dumont made a radical change. The watch had no lunette anymore, was much larger and was only during 2004, available with three different dial options. The movement was by Piaget; the mechanical 430MC. Due to the fact that the case is slightly curved, the watch has a perfect fit and it became a model that is still pretty successful.
In the collection since 2004 and the entry model of the current Santos Dumont line, that now all share the same kind of case. I say kind of case, since only the appearance of the case is a bit identical, the dimensions are completely different. The TV shaped case became a bit more square, when Cartier presented the Santos Dumont Squelette.
While the mechanical handwound caliber the 9611MC of this watch, was especially In House developed, and the skeleton hand polished construction of the dial is very much technology of this moment, the case is directly inspired by an early Dumont model of 1910.
The fact that it is more square than the flat 2004 Santos Dumont, gives the case an even more vintage detail. beautiful combination of vintage and high tech. The Santos Dumont Squelette was originally released in white gold and in ADLC coated titanium, but is also available now in pink gold.
In the Metiers d'Art Series cartier presented this year a model with a Falcon.
Metiers d'Art is a very limited series and these watches are hard to locate in the Boutique. Various models are available Ronde de Cartier, Rotonde de Cartier, Santos Dumont, Santos 100 and probably more.
Watches that appealed to many at the SIHH, were the two variations of the new Santos Dumont model, that now have and for the first time, a complication; a power reserve @ 6 and a three-date aperture, date window @ 12. The case used for this model is the more square version. It's a bit thicker which gives it a butch and masculine feel and is available in pink- or white gold, with a grey- or more traditional white dial.
A power reserve window is not only a neat very feature to look at, it also makes sense in combination with a mechanical movement, that needs to be hand wound. The 9750 MC caliber has a nice power reserve of 40 hours, so it does not need to be wound every day.
Very interesting watch this new Santos Dumont. The added complication makes it very different from what we are used from a Dumont watch and the fact that the case reminds me so much of the very old version, gives me thrills.

Puppy pilots: Herts dogs prove you can teach an old dog new tricks
PUBLISHED: 11:50 22 May 2016 | UPDATED: 11:50 22 May 2016
Oxford Scientific Films Ltd
Tails have been wagging across the UK as two rescue animals from Herts joined a doggy dozen on a barking TV show teaching dogs to fly
A TV series that attempted to teach dogs to fly an aeroplane might sound far-fetched, but that's exactly what's been captivating audiences on Sky 1 this spring – and two of the dog stars were from Herts rescue centres.
The six-part Dogs Might Fly saw a team of canine experts select 12 unwanted and abandoned dogs from across the UK to test their ability to reason, communicate and solve problems with the end-goal for the animals to take control of a real-life aeroplane.
The pooches that made Herts proud were Wilf, a 22-month collie cross from Glendee Rescue in Welham Green near Hatfield, and Alfie, a 23-month collie-lurcher from Royston's Luna Rescue.
Glendee Rescue first spotted Wilf being given away on a local online group. Aware that new owners are often not vetted, leading to poor pairings, the centre offered to give him a rescue space with the aim of finding him a good home.
'He stayed with us for a few months before the TV people came to assess if he was suitable to be used in their show. We were thrilled when he was selected,' says Georgina Armstrong, who runs Glendee with her husband Steve. 'He had a wonderful trainer take care of him during his time filming. He did brilliantly, especially in a problem-solving tests, where he was the first dog ever to be filmed completing a task in which he worked out he needed to move a table to reach a treat hanging from the ceiling. He made history doing it!'
'We were lucky enough to find him a new owner before the show ended. He has moved to the West Country with a lovely family where he has the most wonderful outdoor life and a great home to live in.'
Alfie had a shaky start in life, being passed from owner to owner via websites such as Gumtree or Preloved, until finally he was given to Luna Rescue Centre.
'He's such a sweetheart, but he was quite nervous when he was younger,' explains Luna co-founder Natalie Howe.
She put Alfie forward for Dogs Might Fly, and after meetings with the production team to assess him he became one of the lucky 12 because of his quick intelligence. 'He's such a trainable little dog,' Howe says proudly.
Alfie became one of the best performers on the programme, winning Star Dog in one episode and making it through to 'flying school' in the final show of the series. He was one of just three dogs to get their wings, and in the final nailbiting episode Alfie got to go up in a plane with specially-modified dog-friendly controls and give flying a go for real.
Although Alfie did his county proud, a two-and-a-half-year-old Staffordshire bull terrier collie cross called Shadow completed a figure-of-eight manoeuvre at 3,000ft, so it was fitting that Shadow ended up top dog. Before being selected for Dogs Might Fly, he was just 24 hours from being put down – a fate met by 5,000 unwanted dogs each year.
That is not something Alfie need worry about. He was so loved by the production team that one of the trainers adopted him. He now lives with her and her other dogs in Yorkshire, where she continues to train him. And he was not alone; all 12 dogs in the show were rehomed.
Howe says the impact of the series goes far beyond this lucky dozen. 'The show was really brilliant because it highlighted the plight of rescue dogs and how much they can achieve with the correct training and in the right environment,' she says. 'It's been a really positive thing, which is especially nice for us rescue centres when we're all too aware that not every dog has such a happy ending.' w

It's not all the rain's fault, really. We've had a few nights of poor sleep since Rascal started a new round of meds for his tumour. The treatment is working. The last ultrasound showed that the tumour has shrunk from 9cm to 6cm. We're hoping this round will shrink it enough to make his bowel movements even more comfortable, if not normal. It's just that the medication meant to kill the tumour also kills other cells, and even though we give it to him in five-day blasts, after five days he is uncomfortable, and by the sixth day, he can't sleep... he is restless and doesn't know what to do with himself. And when he can't sleep, we can't sleep either.
So, this weekend is welcomed by us all. And this weekend, I was glad to have a nice day out to enjoy the first day of the return of sunshine with a friend. We went out to visit a local attraction, the Teafarm, where we enjoyed a lovely pot of tea along with delicious lavender shortbread. And I brought home a few treats and trinkets, including a jar of elderberry jelly made from their own elderberries on the farm.
After that, we went over to The Loom at Whippletree Junction, where we wandered around the wonders within the shop. I'd promised her a knitting lesson, and I just HAPPENED to not bring any yarn or needles with me, so I HAD to buy a couple of balls of alpaca yarn and another set of size 6 bamboo needles. We sat out in the sunshine and basked in its warmth while I showed her how to cast on and knit a few rows.
After that, we realized we hungry, but before we wandered off for food, I popped into the vintage shop next door where I found this lovely little ceramic pot. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to use it for, but it's a nice size for pens... or maybe for my crochet hooks.
And there happened to be a set of handmade ceramic tile coasters to replace the cracked, stained ones that were falling apart at home. I've been wanting ceramic ones with cork on the back, and these are also just the right shades of green and grey that I've been looking for. I was happy to find them, because there's something so nice about buying something that is not cranked out of a factory once in a while. The lady in the shop smiled at me when I brought them to her till. "I can tell what your house must be like," she said. "You like the little details, and the little stories that come with them."
Oddly, the woman who owns the yarn shop said something very similar today when we visited her in her studio behind the shop. "There is the 'text' in textile," she said, as she told us about some of the skeins she has recently spun and dyed... ones she had donated to an art show, ones with which she had been experimenting. "I like them all to be different," she said. "Each one has a story."
So, as I sit here with this shawl in my lap, I suddenly don't feel so bad about how long my projects have been taking as of late. I forget so often that the purpose of this blog isn't just to show off my finished objects, but to share the stories behind them... how each time I turn to start a new row, I feel that tinge of worry that I'll run out before each long, tedious row is complete... how I flashback to moments in my childhood when I watched my mother crochet clothes for me... how irked I am that I didn't think to figure out how making extra repeats in the pattern would affect the arc of this crescent-shaped shawl... how I wonder if I should change from double crochet stitches to trebles, just so I can get through the yarn faster, and how I rebuke myself each time for rushing something that should be savoured... and of the times I've looked over from my shawl to find Rascal sitting at my feet, his head on my knee, needing a cuddle...
And now, for a quiet Saturday night.

LIB-DEM leader Charles Kennedy denied he was a boozer this week - a statement that had treacherous twerp, Paul Marsden MP, slithering off to a newspaper to tell how Kennedy had over-indulged while in his company.
Kennedy must shrug off these accusations. Marsden, don't forget, defected from Labour to the Lib Dems, but has now rejoined his old party.
Two years ago, this married father of two was copped out having leg-overs with his 24-year-old researcher. I'd prefer a toper to a sneak any day.

A Spray Paint History Primer
Submitted by russell on
The Origin of Spray Paint
By HILARY GREENBAUM and DANA RUBINSTEIN
Original NYTimes link: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/06/magazine/who-made-spray-paint.html
That a paint salesman from northern Illinois created the tool through which rebels, gang members, artists and anti-Wall Street protesters alike have expressed themselves merely confirms that inventors can neither control nor predict the impact of their innovations. After all, Jack Dorsey never imagined that Twitter would facilitate Anthony Weiner's self-immolation.
The spray-paint can, however, has eminently practical origins. Ed Seymour, the proprietor of a Sycamore, Ill., paint company, was in search of an easy way to demonstrate his aluminum coating for painting radiators. His wife suggested a makeshift spray gun, like those used for deodorizers. And so, in 1949, Seymour mixed paint and aerosol in a can with a spray head. As it turned out, compressing paint in a can made for a nice finish.

Cyber-archaeology is a new term to represent the natural evolution of archaeology, combining the state-of-the-art of the Virtual Archaeology with E-Science. Immersive Virtual Environments advances science and technology developments in data representation, interaction and analytical reasoning and reporting supported by computationally intensive and highly distributed network environments. This research project aims at a fully immersive interactive environment coupled with visual analytics/editing tools to explore archaeological worlds, harvested with modern archaeometry digital techniques and stored in distributed databases. Modern digital acquisition tools, such as laser scanners and image-based modeling, can generate massive amounts of 3D data in real time both in time and space. Despite the adoption of rigorous procedures, the archaeological excavation is a destructive process and once excavated, the physical site is no longer available as before. Under this perspective, fundamental scientific questions arise in the archaeological domain: how do we (re)think the material past? How can we record and transmit archeological information to future generations? Can this process be considered a time travel, a reconstruction or a simulation? The project objectives are: 1) to improve digital scanning techniques for archaeological excavations and artifacts exploring cloud-based storage methods for 3D big data; 2) to create interactive analytical tools for proper data mining in 3D big data and to build 3D realistic worlds. 3) to create Virtual Excavation Case Studies based on data harvested from archaeological sites in São Paulo State, Brazil, and at the Neolithic Site of Çatalhöyük, Turkey (whereas Duke University owns all the 3D datasets); 4) to explore collaboratively those virtual sites in fully immersive environments such as the DiVE at Duke and Caverna Digital at USP, 5) to promote the Second USP-Duke International Workshop in Cyber-archaeology to disseminate project results.

We don't need any more evidence that our nation has fallen into moral degradation and grotesque debauchery… but we have it.
Parents whose children attend Bellingham High School in Bellingham, Washington were appalled when they attended their children's end of school year drama awards ceremony. The ceremony was filled with foul language, crude humor and sex toys (given as prizes to a couple of students)! If you've ever been an educator, you might at this point be wondering if this was a student led and student written assembly. That could explain some of the vile nature of the program… but you'd be disappointed. The assembly was led by drama teacher Teri Grimes, and she also happened to be the originator of some of the foul language and crude humor at the event.
In an email to KOMO News, the upset mother complained about the teacher's use of profanity during the ceremony. She said Grimes repeatedly used inappropriate words and told a distasteful joke.
"I sat there with my mouth open in shock and the final straw was when a joke was told on stage about a teacher, a lawyer and a priest on a plane. The plane was going down and the teacher says we have to save the children. The attorney says "F*** the children!" and the priest says "OOOOH… Do we have time for that???" the email reads.
Trending: Saturday Night Live Dings Obama – "Ebola Probably One of My Greatest Accomplishments!"
Not only was some of the humor detestable – much of the rest of the awards show was too.
In addition to what she considered to be offensive language and the off-color joke, the parent said the awards handed out during the ceremony weren't appropriate for children. She said one of the categories was for "the horniest stud," where the award was a sex toy.
"WE need to get the word out there that THIS is the kind of TRASH that is being taught in our schools. I am so shocked right now I am in tears," the parent said in her email to KOMO.
The teacher is set to retire, so there is likely not much that the district can do to rectify the situation. But the school's principal said that he had a constructive meeting with both the teacher and the drama students and that all parties involved expressed a great deal of remorse and contrition. For her part, Ms. Grimes issued an apology for the revolting nature of the humor at the event.
"I deeply apologize for some very inappropriate comments and actions made during our drama students' end-of-the-year awards ceremony. This is not representative of our students who take such great pride in their school and respect one another. Much of the evening was a great celebration of their work. However, as a teacher and the club's leader, I take full responsibility and am extremely sorry."
It's good that she apologized but doesn't the situation beg the question – how could a veteran teacher who is set to retire think that this might have been acceptable behavior? And does this represent the kind of behavior, language and humor that has been on display in her classroom over her years as a teacher? If I were a parent in the district I would be angry and concerned that my child had sat under someone with such poor judgment and weak morality.

Helluva a 5 days for your boy.
Trying to make sense of it all, we've called in Columbia legend* Barso to walk me through the Bulldogs and Falcons once again coming up short. Unfortunately, while blocking alongside me made him look good, no one could polish the turd that was this past 12 months as an Atlanta sports fan. From 28-3 to Atlanta losing their baseball team, to the events of Monday night and finally 4th and goal drops, good friends are there for you but great friends will make fun of your misfortune. Apparently Barso is a great friend. Ugh.

Leading the way to compromise. The refugee adaptation process in Poland – case study
Subject and Keywords:
refugees ; migration ; integration ; refuge center ; cross-cultural adaptation process
The global nature of international migration, subordinate to the tendencies listed by Castles, is very symptomatic of the postmodern era. It is important that we understand the need for cooperation, protection of the borders, but mostly the legal arrangements for immigrants. Migration is one of the factors that most strongly affect world transformation, at various levels of state and society. The analyses of empirical material allowed me to describe the techniques used by the refugees to find their place in a culturally and ethnically alien society. The 'survival' technique revealed the basic behaviour of the refugee in the host country, which is mainly understanding of the Polish socio-cultural reality. Field research was conducted in the Czerwony Bór exile centre, in the Ocalenie Foundation facilities and in immigrants' private quarters in Łomża among 28 refugees, between 18 to 70 years of age, from Armenia, Georgia and, mainly, the Chechen Republic.

The above ad is an interpretative dance/rap/musical performance calling for civilian disarmament in the name of the 33 firearms-related homicides that occur in America each day. So . . . what about the 2,379 Americans who use a gun successfully to defend themselves and/or their family every day? What about the millions of Americans who are safe from criminal predation on a daily basis because bad guys know they may face resistance from armed civilians, or have been been permanently removed from society by armed civilians? What about the tens of millions of men, women and children who breathe the air of freedom each and every day because gun owners protect society from government tyranny? Click here for my idea of a dance celebrating #fight4yourlife
Thirty-Three Firearms-Related Fatalities A Day? What About . . .
We like to call it the "Freedom 2 Step"
Jesus. Only 33?
Where's that sharp knife?
I thought Shannon said 38 the other day. See, the crime rate IS falling.
And any band with a tuba can't be all bad.
The saga continues ever expanding as the government slaves and sycophants do the master's bidding.
The other stats you mentioned are meaningless because they DO NOT inspire fear and don't fit the anti agenda.
Nothing changes the world like interpretive dance. In fact I am looking forward to "Eric Holder and Fast and Furious on Ice" this summer. I hear the ATF agents dance the crap out of gun running.
On a serious note and a rebuttal to the woman in the ad, everyday Congress breaks its promise to enforce our borders, hold corrupt government officials to account, and spend more than they take in. Congress fails to act on important issues everyday, but the only one you care about is a Constitutionally protected right. What if I made an artsy dance video about Congress failing to act to stop voter fraud by passing "common sense" voter ID reform?
"In fact I am looking forward to "Eric Holder and Fast and Furious on Ice" this summer."
I was working on something snarky…but I can't top that. :^D Nice.
They're upset because the NEA spiked their grant this year. Sequester and all that…
"What if I made an artsy dance video"
We'll never know until you get up off your idle butt and do it!
[ 😉 ]
"33 firearms related homicides"? No info on how many of those are justified police shootings?
Or gang related, or suicide, or any breakdown at all, really. Numbers! Make them dance.
That works out to 12k, so using numbers for all homicides that could be accurate, at least using 2009ish numbers.
How about we just ban stupid people? Seriously, the fact that this music video even exists shows just how desperate the anti gun lobby is, our side keeps pointing out that guns are used in a more positive aspect more frequently. And yet, our fellow Americans across the aisle keep thier blinders up, it's no different than denying that the human form has changed over the years, look at the average hight of a male from 200 years ago verses today.
Don't we need a song to get rid of the cars? Children!!!!
Those foolish gun control advocate allowed YouTube ratings and comments. The video is being lambasted. Go to YouTube and make a comment – while you still can. Mine's there.
Is the band for hire? I've got people to annoy.
We'll fight violence with… DANCING!
In their defense, that's as good an idea as any other they've ever had.
Kumbaya My Lord….Kumbaya. Kumbaya My Lord….Kumbaya. Kumbaya My Lord….Kumbaya. Oh Lord…Kumbaya.
Notice how willing the anti-gunners are to have my people act as if in a minstral show. Shame.
I am waiting on the passion play version.
"Congress Broke a promise?" She must have meant that Congress failed to up hold their Oath of Office the protect and up hold the Constitution. I couldn't wait this video after a minute.
Hey, are we all still going bowling tonight?
Can I come? I'll buy the first round of beers.
Fight for the 33rd degree Freemasons
one wonders who thinks this kind of sh!t up..
"Springtime/For Bloomberg/And Ev'rytown!"
Zero Mostel would've had a field day.
LOL Kurt. I wish I'd thought of it. Maybe Bloomie as a Jewish-Nazi munchkin.
Here ya go (sorry, Mel):
MAIG was having trouble
What a sad, sad story
Needed a new leader to restore
Its former glory
Where, oh, where was she?
Where could that woman be?
We looked around and then we found
The mother for you and me
And now it's…
Springtime for Shannon and Ev'rytown
Bloomberg is happy and gay!
We're marching with our bogus stats
Look out, we're here to take your gats!
Springtime for Shannon and Ev'rytown
Gun grabbin's in fashion once more!
Springtime for Shannon and Ev'rytown
Watch out, patriots
We're going on tour!
2,379 sounds a bit high, especially if they are counting some of those 33 as "victims" of a successful DGU.
How do you figure it seems high?
2379 DGU's per day x 365 days / year = 868,335 DGU's per year
This is consistent with lower end estimates even the grabbers will admit to for DGU's.
And according to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_motor_vehicle_deaths_in_U.S._by_year) there were 93 automobile deaths per day.
Seems guns are safer than cars.
Does anyone else think 2,379 positive gun uses a day sound kinda high?
No. It's simple math.
2379 DGU's per day x 365 days / year = 868,335 DGU's per year
This is consistent with lower end estimates even the grabbers will admit to for DGU's.
Other estimates are even higher…1-2 million per year (5479 per day for 2 million).
Nope, the lower end estimates are 50-80k, and those are the numbers anti's will generally admit to.
Not the ones that have any serious credibility at all. They usually run the mid six figures. I'm reasonably sure the lower numbers you are mentioning come from "pull it out your butt and hope someone believes it" land.
There have even been grabbers that complain Lott's numbers are too and the "real number" is closer to ONE MILLION per year. So,yeah; the quoted value per day is consistent with a LOT of claims and is not at all unbelievable.
I'm not debating you on credibility or motive, I'm telling you that low end estimates start in the 50's, and that those are the numbers the anti's use.
In regard to analysis, I'd agree that the low end of five figures is low, but the high end of estimates in the mid 1 to 2 millions is also ridiculous, with unrealistically small sample sizes and poor methodology. The best research seems to indicate an actual number of 3-800k.
I can claim only one person used a gun for DGU in 2013 and that does not make it true.
Credibility in this kind of debate is everything. You don't just get to make up numbers and I don't give a rats backside what wikipedia has to say on ANY subject.
But, let's go to the wp page you linked. There is ONE researcher that claims 55,000-80,000 and every other study referenced is SIX OR SEVEN FIGURES.
Let's also note that the researching claiming that low-ball number is cited as published in 1997… 17 year old data that is inconsistent with what, 20 or 30 other studies done at that time and since then?
Come on.
Best guess at this time puts the annual number of DGU's conservatively at around 1,000,000 plus or minus a few hundred thousand. If you don't like that, tough. If you are just being pedantic because I ignored one outliar study from nearly twenty years ago, find another hobby; this one does not pay well.
What numbers did I make up? If you don't care about what Wikipedia has to say (nevermind why you don't care) why did put so much into responding? Nevermind actually, I don't care. If you had a point you'd have made it by now.
I did not mean you made numbers up, sorry. I meant that particular "you" as the rhetorical you. Maybe should have said, "One does not get to make numbers up" but some find that awkward.
More generally, I was responding to your statement about credibility:
"I'm not debating you on credibility or motive"
I was saying that believing numbers just because someone claims them is pretty pointless in this discussion.
I don't care about wikipedia because it is a crap – Pure. Adulterated. Crap. – source of information.
The reason for my response was simple. Other people will read this discussion and see our little disagreement regarding the low-ball estimates of DGU's. I want those people to get good information that is verifiable in by CURRENT research on the topic.
That one Northwestern University researcher in 1997 did a study that by far lies outside even the wings of the distributions of every other study done then and since is no basis on which to draw conclusions.
I did not want misinformation go unchallenged on a topic that is very important to gun rights. So, don't think of it as me responding to you personally.
As of right now, dislikes outnumber likes by over 2:1. I'm betting that's not the response they were expecting.
It doesn't sound too high to me, Does that count the police killing all the pet dogs, whether they are at the correct address or not? I suggest the people stay armed & the police get unarmed!
Vast majority of the "33" take place a) in cities that b) liberals/Progs/Dems have run into the ground. Black on black quite frankly.
To hide the unmitigated disaster their failed social engineering has yielded, in true Alinsky Fashion, freeze the target: the gun, not the user and the environment that spawned them, is to blame, leaving the Libs blameless.
Tell me again why they're not still busking in the subway.
Good point. I'd like to see the stats for murders committed with firearms not counting urban minorities. I'd guess the number would be pretty damn small. Is it racist if its true?
I'm not sure what you mean by "urban minorities" – is that opposed to rural minorities? Regardless a third are committed by whites, another third by blacks and further third by other groups or assailants of unknown race. So it's not true, and it (what you said) is racist.
Good grief, this has to be a joke. Urban minorities are members of a minority population that live in urban locations. And yes, those would be different from rural minorities since they, by definition, live in rural locations.
Take a look at some crime statistics…real data, not fantasy…and see if you can discern any differences between rural and urban locations in regard to violent crime.
And while you are there, take a look at crime stats by race/ethnicity.
Here's the link to get you started:
Duplicate comment
Seriously, you've got to be the most priggish person I've encountered on these boards. If you'd literally scrolled down one comment rather than racing to prove me wrong you'd see that A) I'm right, and I've already cited the statistics you posted, and B) You are indeed defending a racist. All you end up doing is arguing against yourself.
I mean fn BLAX!! And yea it's different from rural minorities bc they kill each other in the cities, not Kansas. It is true. Stop trying to make excuses. I used to have liberal tendencies in that regard but got sick of their bs.
Next time just say "I'm an idiot". It will save me the trouble of responding and attempting to introduce data into a debate with someone who can't write "blacks".
And Hispanics are apparently white according to many statistics so I don't buy it.
They're white according to genetics, but the statistics I cited broke out "Hispanic whites" and "non-Hispanic whites" and I only included the latter group, so regardless, you're wrong. And an idiot.
33 deaths from guns out of how many total deaths in a day?
33 deaths from guns compared to how many abortions in a day?
Of those 33, how many were crimes? How many accidental? How many self defense?
6171 or so
Who cares
All, none, none
I want those 55 seconds of my life back. I couldn't watch anymore of the video than that.
reminds me – I need to clean my guns . . . .
That was so bad, I can't even think of a way to accurately describe it that would not inevitably be replaced with "COMMENT MODERATED".
What a bunch of expendable rabble! More like "interpretive dance for transferring ever more power to the scumbuckets who pay the guys who have been indoctrinating us on the taxpayers tab for the past century or so."
Wow! This is a information changing update !! I'm so excited!!
Thanks very much, Luke !
Outstanding post however I was wondering if you could write a litte more on this topic?
I'd be very thankful if you could elaborate a little bit further.
Unquestionably imagine that which you said. Your favourite reason seemed
to be on the internet the easiest factor to have in mind of.
I say to you, I definitely get annoyed whilst other people consider issues that they plainly don't recognize about.
You managed to hit the nail upon the top and outlined out the entire thing with no need side effect
, other people could take a signal. Will probably be again to get more.

Figures from US researcher PQ Media show that US spending on branded entertainment fell by just 1.3 per cent to $24.62bn in 2009, far less than other media.
Most of this, $21bn, was spending on branded events. Product placement, often flagged as the saviour for terrestrial broadcasters across the world, accounted for just $3.61bn, a fall of 2.8 per cent.
$3.61bn is still a substantial sum of course and, even though the numbers are not large in relation to ad revenue, can represent important incremental revenue revenue for broaddcasters, print owners and computer game manufacturers if product placement can be sold by more or less the same sales force.
More promising for brand owners, according to some sources at least, is the business of programme making itself where brands can be artfully woven into the script. Much of the growth here is being driven by big media agencies such as WPP's Mediacom and Mindshare and Publicis' branded entertainment unit Liquid Thread.
On a more basic level product placement in music videos grew by ten per cent in the US in 2009. Some brand owners are also commissioning their own music and not just for commercials such as the Black Eyed Peas' offerings for Pepsi.
PQ Media forecasts that product placement in the Us will double in size to $6.1bn by 2014.

SONAR identifies emerging threats based on the behavior of applications. It also identifies threats more quickly than the traditional signature-based threat detection techniques. SONAR detects and protects you against malicious code even before virus definitions are available through LiveUpdate.
SONAR monitors your computer for malicious activities through heuristic detections.
SONAR automatically blocks and removes high-certainty threats. Norton Internet Security notifies you when high-certainty threats are detected and removed. SONAR provides you the greatest control when low-certainty threats are detected.
The View Details link in the notification alert lets you view the summary of the resolved high-certainty threats. You can view the details under Resolved security risks category in the Security History window.
Antispyware protects your computer against the security risks that can compromise your personal information and privacy.
Symantec Endpoint Protection Antispyware detects these major categories of spyware:
Full-screen Detection
Full-screen detection stops antivirus scans and prioritizes performance of the computer over antivirus scanning. Endpoint Protection still runs in the background providing continuous protection.
USB Device Control enables administrators to prevent malicious code injection and intellectual property theft by controlling employee use of USB removable storage devices. USB mice and keyboards are unaffected by USB Device Control because they do not provide data storage.

USB device access
The drop-down enables a policy configuration to either allow or to block access to a USB device. Blocking events are logged for review and reporting.
Read only access
The check box allows USB device access to be restricted to read-only access.
Enable user notifications
Enables the toast messages on the endpoint alerting the user to USB device blocking.
Web Protection defends Internet Explorer and Firefox from attack; presents website safety ratings; and evaluates downloads from the web.

Browser Protection
With the increase in Internet use, your web browser is prone to attack by malicious websites. These websites detect and exploit the vulnerability of your web browser to download malware programs to your system without your consent or knowledge. These malware programs are also called drive-by downloads. Norton Internet Security protects your web browser against drive-by downloads from malicious websites.
Norton Internet Security proactively blocks new or unknown malware programs before they attack your computer. By protecting your web browser, Norton Internet Security secures your sensitive information and prevents the attackers from controlling your system remotely.
The Browser Protection feature checks for browser vulnerabilities in the following browsers:
You must turn on the Browser Protection option to enable this feature.
Download Intelligence
Download Intelligence provides information about the reputation of any executable file that you download from the supported portals. The reputation details indicate whether the downloaded file is safe to install. You can use these details to decide the action that you want to take on the file.
Some of the supported portals are:
The reputation levels of the file are safe, unsafe, and unknown. You can install safe files. Norton Internet Security removes the unsafe files. In the case of unknown files, Download Intelligence prompts you to take a suitable action on the file. You can run the installation of the file, stop the installation, or remove a file from your computer.
When you downloaded a file, Download Intelligence processes the file for analysis of its reputation level. Auto-Protect analyzes the reputation of the file. Auto-Protect uses the threat signatures that Norton Internet Security receives during definitions updates and other security engines to determine the safety of an executable file. If the file is unsafe, Auto-Protect removes it. Auto-Protect notifies the results of file analysis to Download Intelligence. Download Intelligence then triggers notifications to inform you whether the file is safe to install or needs attention. You must take a suitable action on the files that need attention. In case of an unsafe file, Download Insight informs you that Norton Internet Security has removed the file.
Security History logs details of all events that Download Intelligence processes and notifies. It also contains information about the actions that you take based on the reputation data of the events. You can view these details in the Download Intelligence category in Security History.
Network Protection defends your computer by detecting and preventing attacks through your network connection and evaluating the safety email attachments.

Intrusion Prevention
Intrusion Prevention scans all the network traffic that enters and exits your computer and compares this information against a set of attack signatures. Attack signatures contain the information that identifies an attacker's attempt to exploit a known operating system or program vulnerability. Intrusion prevention protects your computer against most common Internet attacks.
For more information about the attacks that intrusion prevention blocks, visit:
If the information matches an attack signature, intrusion prevention automatically discards the packet and breaks the connection with the computer that sent the data. This action protects your computer from being affected in any way.
Intrusion prevention relies on an extensive list of attack signatures to detect and block suspicious network activity. You should run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that your list of attack signatures is up to date.
Email Protection
Email Protection protects your computer against the threats that you might receive through email attachments. It automatically configures your email program for protection against viruses and other security threats.
Smart Firewall
The Smart Firewall monitors the communications between your computer and other computers on the Internet. It also protects your computer and alerts you to such common security problems as:
A firewall blocks hackers and other unauthorized traffic, while it allows authorized traffic to pass. Turning off Smart Firewall reduces your system protection. Always ensure that the Smart Firewall is turned on.
The Smart Firewall provides two configurable options:
User can disable Firewall - Enables a local computer user to override the Smart Firewall for a certain period of time. This option permits an installation or other administrative function. The firewall can be disabled for:
Report Blocked Events - Uploads blocked firewall events from the computer to your Endpoint Protection account. The blocked events are added to the computer history page and the statistical data that is displayed on the Home page. Blocked events are also available within the Security History page of the local Norton Internet Security interface. No alerts are issued based on this data as they are low risk events.
Firewall Rules - Enables administrators to customize firewall rules for their organization.
See Configuring Firewall Rules.
Program Control - Enables administrators to allow or block Internet access for agent-discovered programs.
Email Protection
Provides the protection to the inbound and the outbound emails by guarding against the most common email viruses, worms, and Trojans.

I am a lover of all sorts of music (old and new, different styles), but I especially enjoy listening to tried and true musical arrangements, and researching the stories behind them.
One of my favorite Christmas songs is I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day, written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. It has become an even more precious favorite since I've read the story behind the lyrics.
Never have the words of a song been more true and appropriate ...
And in despair I bowed my head;
"There is no peace on earth," I said
"For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!"
What Longfellow lamented in the midst of the Civil War, we could truthfully repeat in light of the conflict and hatred of this century.
Fortunately, the song does not end on such a dark and depressing note. Longfellow went on to rejoice ...
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth he sleep;
The Wrong shall fail
The Right prevail
With peace on earth, good-well to men."
May we remember the promise of these words. Whether we are listening once again to media reports of terrorism and destruction, or struggling with personal circumstances that leave us discouraged and depressed ... never forget that our God is *not* dead! And He does not sleep.
Let the hope of this promise saturate your thoughts and heart as you celebrate Christmas tomorrow.
Still on the journey,
~Judy Wnuk
PS - My very favorite arrangement of this Christmas classic was recorded by Casting Crowns in 2008. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do every year.

European Commission to tackle unfair practices in the food supply chainBrussels Daily
The European Commission is set to adopt a communication today encouraging Member States to look for ways to improve protection of small food producers and retailers against the unfair practices of their sometimes much stronger trading partners. Before a food product reaches the consumer, many different market players (producers, processors, retailers, etc.) in the supply chain add to its quality and value. Due to developments such as increased market concentration, there are very different levels of bargaining power in the relations between the players in the supply chain. Whilst differences in bargaining powers are common and legitimate in commercial relationships, these imbalances can in some cases lead to unfair trading practices (UTPs). See IP/14/831 and MEMO/14/485 .

When you do the prep work ahead of time, this recipe has an incredible return on investment. What's great about this recipe is it can be more or less modified to whatever ingredients are available. I wouldn't skimp on the ginger or green onion, but otherwise modify away! Using leftovers from baby back ribs or steaks is probably the best meat ingredient; shrimp works too.
Adapted from foodnetwork.com
- 8 shiitake mushrooms, quartered
- 3 T peanut oil
- 3 lg eggs, lightly beaten with a couple T of whole milk added and a pinch of salt
- 4 scallions thinly sliced (could use more, wouldn't use less)
- 1/4 c+ minced carrot
- 1 clove+ garlic, minced
- 1 t crushed red pepper, or to taste
- 1 t minced fresh ginger
- 2 T soy sauce, or to taste
- 1 t toasted sesame oil
- 3 c cooked long-grain rice (ideally prepared in vegetable stock or chicken stock for more flavor)
- 1 c cooked meat cut in 1/2-in. cubes, such as pork, beef, chicken or shrimp (left over baby back ribs is my family's favorite)
- 1/2 cup frozen peas, defrosted in a strainer at room temperature
Make sure you do the prep work ahead of time – this recipe cooks fast!
- Heat 1 T of the peanut oil in a lg non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.
- Pour in the eggs so that it forms a large thin pancake (lift the edge of the egg to allow any uncooked egg to run to the center.) As soon as the egg has set, turn it out of the pan onto a cutting board. Cool, cut into 1 inch pieces.
- Wipe out the pan with a paper towel (I don't always do this, but the rationale is to remove any leftover oil that could otherwise burn at the high temperature) and heat the remaining peanut oil over high heat.
- Add the scallions and carrots and stir-fry for 1 1/2 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms, garlic, chile and ginger, stir-fry for 1 minute more.
- Add the soy sauce, sesame oil and rice and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the meat, peas, and reserved egg, cook, stirring until heated through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.

pauld: so we're in last call
<scribe> ACTION: yves to add LC-Basic as a product on tracker
[recorded in
<trackbot> Created ACTION-91 - Add LC-Basic as a product on tracker
[on Yves Lafon - due 2006-12-05].
pauld: ACTION ITEMS are getting out of control. Please mop up.
ISSUE-12: Detection of Patterns
george: been working on a validation service, have a JSP, it's Java 5
yves: send me the source, will look into hosting it when the team
return from Japan
ISSUE-2: Test Suite
pauld: OK i'm the block here, will get a page put up
yves: still working on XMLUnit, plan to have something by end of the
vlad: been trying the testsuite in our framework, need some general
pauld: you are not alone, I will work on the Test Suite page
pauld: include examples are broken
... we need small schemas to include in some of our examples
<scribe> ACTION: gcowe to look at fixing our include examples,
ISSUE-98 [recorded in
<trackbot> Created ACTION-92 - Look at fixing our include examples,
ISSUE-98 [on George Cowe - due 2006-12-05].
pauld: we seem to have a number of patterns for Advanced which we
closed the issue, but aren't in the patterns and examples
ISSUE-62 Why would a pattern NOT be included in our Advanced document?
jonc: how do we get vendors' input on what isn't implementable?
... can we get a commnity input, or on an individual basis
... is there a vendor concensus?
pauld: we have a working group, they can join
... business as usual, we may get some interest as a result of LC
... publishing our testsuite will help
... more interested in if we end up with the whole of schema covered,
or only patterns we see in use?
... maybe we should just examine some Advanced issues and find our way
jonc: is the concern this could be a job for life?:
... some of us are only interested in the Basic, vendors may be more
interested in the Advanced?
pauld: think schema publishers may also be interested in Advanced
... risk is that anyone could come with any pattern and we would then
publish it as Advanced
jonc: if *any* recognised toolkit can process a pattern, then it could
be "Advanced"
pauld: so what about "open enumeration type" no toolkit may support
it, but i want it in Advanced
... would it be acceptable for us to assign a URI for a pattern, but
not put it in either document?
jonc: would any schema author want to use a pattern not implementable
in a databinding toolkit?
pauld: would like to have coverage for any valid schema
... thinking we can stop when we run out of time
... am I overthinking this issue?
george: we haven't had many people contributing patterns
pauld: that's important point. Lack of participation remains a worry.
<pauld> looks for a carrot shaped stick ;-)
yves: we should contact people now we have LC documents
vlad: submitted some patterns, and publically available schemas, may
not be representative in terms of coverage
pauld: ok so we need outreach. I'll work on that.
george: we need to make sure we have coverage of patterns from our
issues list
pauld: OK george, submit your patterns ;-)
ISSUE-97: proposed set of new patterns
pauld: so we seem to have some base types (xs:token) missing for
pauld: and we need better coverage of base types for patterns
george: may not be firing in our schemas
pauld: puzzled because it works OK for our examples, eg:
pauld: appInfo is very open ended. "Annotations" are called out in our
pauld: will raise appInfo as a separate issue
RESOLUTION: close ISSUE-97 on basis of exploding into other issues

Social Media: What's the Difference?
Today it seems like everyone is on social media. Social media is used for many different things: staying in touch with family and friends, keeping up-to-date with news and trending topics, and promoting businesses and social causes. It allows you to connect with people all over the world who have different backgrounds, interests, hobbies, and professions. With so many different sites, how do you know which one is right for you? Click here for an quick comparison graphic of the most popular social media sites.
Facebook – Created in 20014 by Mark Zuckerberg as way to keep up with his friends. It is the world's largest social media site with more than I.5 billion active users worldwide. It allows you to send messages, post status updates, and share photos and videos. Depending on privacy settings, requesting and accepting friend requests will determine what can be seen on your timeline and home page. It works well on both a computer and mobile device.
Twitter – Another popular social media site, Twitter is designed around short updates. Each tweet (or post) is limited to a total of 140 characters, spaces and punctuation marks. You can attach short videos and photographs to a tweet. Twitter is most popular for inventing the hashtag, which has now been adopted by many other social media sites. With over 289 million active users, it can be used on a computer but because of its quick real-time messages, it is most often used on mobile devices. You connect with other users by accepting and requesting to follow other users.
Instagram – Instagram is a photo-sharing app for mobile devices used by over 300 million active users. The simplest of social media sites, it allows you to upload photos or short videos, write a caption, and add hashtags so your followers will be able to see them. It is most popular with teens and young adults.
Pinterest – Unlike other media sites that are based on sharing status updates and photos, Pinterest is focused on collecting and sharing things found on the Internet. You organize the things you collect on Bulletin Boards. You can follow other Pinners who have similar interests and repin (or save) their items to your boards. It is available on both the computer and mobile devices.
LinkedIn – While the other social media sites are more for personal use, LinkedIn is more of a professional networking site. You create an online resume (or profile) of your skills and employment history. As you add contacts and make connections you build your network. Your connections can go in and endorse your skills. Many businesses use LinkedIn to screen and recruit potential employees.
If you are over 50 and interested in learning how to use these popular social media sites, the Richland College Emeritus program will be offering Social Media 1 (Facebook) and Social Media II (Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram and other sites) classes starting in January. Spring registration begins on November 22 for current students and November 28 for new students. Contact the Emeritus office at (972) 238-6972 or the Business Office Systems and Support program at (972) 238-6215 to sign up for these popular classes. FYI—If you are over 65, the classes are FREE to Dallas County residents.
