The Armory Journal is a devotional resource for you, the #Shieldmaiden of Christ.
If you are interested in ordering hard copies of the Armory Journal (pictured above), please email me at email@example.com
About the Journal
This is a journal unlike anything you've used before. Unlike blank books where you record your thoughts one page at a time, or bullet journals where you have to create the segments yourself before you can use them, the Armory Journal is an adjustable, customizable and refillable resource. Inspired by the Armor of God found in Ephesians chapter 6, this journal is designed to be a repository for the different ways God is pouring into your life to equip you. Things that seem random and unconnected, aren't really. The sermon series you've been getting at church. Your devotional reading, that famous Bible teacher you like so much, your weekly Bible Study group. Whatever you're getting right now, it is ultimately coming from one source: God. The Armory Journal is a centralized tool to pool all the different resources that God is using to equip and grow you, so that you can begin to see how He is working deliberately and intentionally in your life.
History of the Armory Journal
If you read through some of the archived posts on this site (specifically see this one) you'll see that I've been wrestling with a problem for a few years. I have been a believer pretty much my whole life. I asked Jesus to make his home in my heart and be my Lord and Savior when I was 5. I grew up attending Church. I've held leadership positions, written and taught Bible studies, and even went to seminary to get a Masters Degree in Theology. You would think with all of this, that I would be an unshakeable, Bible-thumping, unwavering and undefeatable woman of faith. You would think.
But life gets tough.
And my life has been no exception. The last few years have been pretty tough for me and my family, and there have been times that I have found myself really struggling to cope with it. And that bothered me (nice little cycle, isn't it? We go through a hard time, and then come down on ourselves for having a hard time, making it worse. Have you ever done that?). What bothered me in particular was that as a woman of faith, I felt that things were getting to me more than they ought to be. As a follower of Christ, who is promised help, a reason not to fear in the Shadow of the Valley of Death, and Victory in Christ, I felt shouldn't be struggling as much as I was. I felt I should be tougher, more resilient, and more hopeful. Was my faith letting me down? Was I a fake? Or was something missing?
I started asking myself questions about how I ended up in this state. And I began to realize that there may be a gap or weak spot in my spiritual development. I think that if you look throughout scripture you will find portrait after portrait of incredibly strong women. Meek? Sure.
Often subordinated or even oppressed? No doubt. But strong, and victorious just the same.
The Shieldmaiden
A few years ago I heard a talk by a wonderful story-teller, Lauralee Farrar, (who later became a mentor for a time), and she referred to herself as a Handmaiden to the Lord. I loved the beautiful picture this painted. It was inspiring to also picture myself this way. To be a handmaiden is to be in a position of intimacy, honor, service and humility. Later, when my life took a turn, toward the difficult, this word-picture came back to me. But as I was thinking, praying and studying my way through this tough season, the idea of being a Handmaiden felt lacking in something. Then I recalled the image of the Shieldmaiden I had discovered as a girl, reading Tolkien. She is everything that the Handmaiden is, but more–because when opposing forces threaten to knock down her door, she is armed, trained and prepared to resist.
This is what I wanted to be. A servant of Christ who is also strengthened by him to be victorious over the hardships, battles and attacks that come. This gave my personal study focus and direction, and my life started changing. As I studied, I knew that this is something that is so important not only in my life, but in the lives of other women as well. Surely I am not the only woman out there who desires to be Victorious in Christ? Surely I am not the only one who wants to wear the Armor of God, who wants to fight like a girl, and also be a spiritual force to be reckoned with. Maybe I wasn't the only one who had been inadvertently taught that to be a woman of faith was seceretly a state of subltle victimhood? Maybe I wasn't the only one that didn't want to live that identity anymore. I want to be a Shieldmaiden of Christ. Do you want to be one too?
Armory Journal
As I worked on this project, I soon became convinced that this would be something that would have value for others, not just myself. But how would I share it? What format would it take? Should I start posting like crazy on my old blog? Am I writing a book? A Bible study? I tried Periscope a few times (and will probably do it again in the future). I wrote a few blog posts. But mostly I just studied. And took notes. Lots of notes. And early on, I thought that at least part of this project would involve an element of interaction. I started thinking about creating a non-linear journal. Something with different segments that would help the Shieldmaiden develop and grow closer to God, and deeper in her faith. Something flexible that a person could personalize. I began thinking and praying about a devotional journal that could be a resource for us as God develops us into the victorious women he has designed us to be. Inspired by the Armor of God in Ephesians 6, I decided to call it the Armory Journal. Armories are depositories used to store resources for military use. Weapons and ammunition are the obvious things stored there, but you'll also find things like uniforms, blankets, non-perishables and even personnel. Armories can be the one-stop shopping for a military force to get what they need to function.
Likewise, I see God's equipping work in our lives this way: things that seem random and disconnected, aren't really. The sermon series you've been getting at church. Your (sometimes) daily devotional reading, that famous Bible teacher you like so much, your weekly Bible Study group. Whatever you're getting right now, it is ultimately coming from one source: God. So why not collect all that training and input into one place? The Armory Journal is a centralized tool that gives us a chance to pool all the different resources that God is using to equip and grow you, so that you can begin to see how He is working deliberately and intentionally in your life.

We're all familiar with coaching, aren't we? We've know the football coach, the basketball coach and other sports coaches since we were in high school. We accept the concept that the team needs a coach who turns beginning players into members of a team that, hopefully, wins. Businesses are more and more providing coaches for their employees to help them become more productive members of the business "team." We also have coaches for health, personal, professional, social, family, political, and spiritual dimensions. You name it, there's probably a coach for it. But many of us, as individuals, have never sought out coaching and really don't know what we could accomplish by doing so. We are going to talk with the Director of Coaching for Achieve Today to learn more about coaching and how having a coach can accelerate your reaching your goals and achieving your dreams. Don't miss this one.

Which City Is the Hardest to Add New Apartments?
Find out which city is the hardest to add new apartments, which is easiest and where your city fits in the new Barriers to Apartment Construction Index, based on new research from Hoyt Advisory Services, commissioned by NAA and NMHC. The research examines and ranks 50 metro areas based on specific factors, including local regulations and the amount of available land to develop.
The Index scores 50 metro areas in a ranking that goes up to 19.5 in the most difficult market to add apartments (Honolulu) all the way down to -5.9 in the easiest (New Orleans). While real estate is very project specific, any score above the median of 1.8 means that it is harder to add new apartments in a specific metro compared to other metros.
"That the index can quantify all these challengers including NIMBY-ism is impressive — and could prove to be very useful as the industry and members of the community petition their policymakers for relief," says Paula Munger, NAA's Director of Industry Research and Analysis.
Regardless of where each metro area ranks, the United States needs to build at least 4.6 million new apartments by 2030 to meet the expected increase in demand; otherwise the affordability problems that exist today will only get worse.
There is a strong correlation between the difficulty of adding new supply and affordability, as measured by the percentage of households spending 35 percent or more of their incomes on rent. Nearly half of residents in Miami, Honolulu, Riverside and Los Angeles fall into this category, and these markets are some of the hardest in which to add new supply.

You may also contact us to drop us an email with your questions. One of our customer support people will respond to your query as soon as possible.
We are here to help.
Where can I buy HomeoPet products?
Ask your local Veterinarian or specialty pet care retailer for HomeoPet. If your favourite pet supplier or clinic does not have in stock, as them to order it for you. Stores and Clinics can get it in within a day or so from our Wholesale partners listed on the website.
You can also shop directly on-line with us or go to our stockists page where other major on-line stores stock HomeoPet. If you need help please feel free to contact us for further information.
What are the ingredients?
All ingredients are natural plant and mineral based. The Latin and botanical plant and mineral ingredients are on the packaging and also on our website for easy reference. The ingredients are also listed for each product on our website. You can look up these standard ingredients at any time if you wish to know more.
What is the best way to administer or dose my pet?
Each product bottle contains 450 drops.
The formula dropper dispenses one drop at a time. The liquid drops are best administered into the side of the mouth for rapid absorption. In other cases, drops may be given in water, on food or on a treat. It is recommended that the dosing becomes fun or a pleasant experience. Follow up with a treat to ensure they do not become stressed by the small bottle and to lessen any issues with taking their drops. In Australia administration rules are specifically deemed to be in water, on a treat or in food.
Please refer to the specific product package for detailed dosing information for each country.
How do you use the treatments?
There are 2 types of conditions and therefore 2 ways of dosing.
Acute – it is urgent, it is happening now and/or is happens suddenly. Examples are: vomiting, diarrhoea, injury, shock. Also, anxiety attacks where an animal is scared for a specific period of time e.g. during a storm or a vet or grooming visit and needs to be calmer for a shorter period of time. Acute usually goes away quickly when the problem or "trigger" goes away. They need treatment only when the problem occurs or as needed. And a higher dosing or drops to get a bigger result in a shorter time. Read the packaging and speak to your vet for guidance.
Chronic– this is longer term. Arthritis is a good example of a longer term problem. It will often be present when it happens for most of the animals remaining life. Another example is urinary incontinence. They are mainly longer term problems and are classified as Chronic. Your pet will need long term treatment, most often daily in smaller dosage of drops kept up regularly.
How are the products administered?
The worldwide dosing protocol is in the side of the mouth for maximum effectiveness, or into food, water or milk or on a treat as an extra option too. In Australia products are administered in food or in water or on a treat due to local regulations. Customers are usually guided to follow a dose with a small treat to ensure the animal does not become scared of the drops! The instructions are on the packaging.
Note that birds are dosed differently so you may need to consult your Vet who will have the Avian Applications specific information. Cats can sometimes salivate when use alcohol based preparations so the best way to give to a cat who may smell the drops is to put it into their food or water and wait 20 minutes until the alcohol evaporates off.
How much does an animal require? An example:
A 10 kg dog will need up to 5 drops each dose
A 20 kg dog will need up to 10 drops each dose
A 20kgs and over dog will need up to 15 drops each dose
How long does one bottle last?
It is all about the condition you are managing. Some conditions require daily maintenance, other conditions appear and disappear so you only use the product as needed. With general dosing, one bottle will last 3/4 weeks for pets under 10kgs and 10/13 days for pets over 10kgs. Formulas will last longer for different dosing schedules, such as acute where products are only used as necessary e.g. during a storm or for several storms during a season. See dosing instructions for more information.
How quickly will it work?
It's simple – it depends on the illness being treated. If acute problems are being treated such a storm phobia or anxiety or diarrhea then you can expect a result in 78% of cases from 15 minutes to an hour. Other conditions such as urinary incontinence may take up to 1-2 weeks for a result. It all depends upon the condition!
How long do the results last?
In acute cases (travel anxiety for example) the formula will last about 4 hours and then can be administered again. It can depend upon the animal, the environment and the circumstances.
Chronic conditions (such as arthritis) vary according to the animal, stage of illness and overall health.
Can I use more than one product on my pet at a time?
Yes, this is quite common. For example, when using 2 products, if the products are used for different conditions, follow the dosing instructions for each product. In the case of acute (Storm Stress or Anxiety) and for chronic (Joint or Leaks) and space them 20 minutes apart. You can ask your pet care professional for specific advice too or contact us with specific questions. We are here to help.
Can HomeoPet products be used long term?
Yes, there are no side effects or negative responses related to using HomeoPet products long term. However, if there are no symptoms present, you do not need to continue with dosing. Some ailments such as arthritis, incontinence or skin allergies may require a maintenance dose indefinitely as a chronic long term issues.
Why are HomeoPet products safe?
HomeoPet products are safe as all of the ingredients are at 6c&30c potency. This measures how dilute an ingredient is. 1c means that this particular substance has been diluted at a ratio of 1 to 100. 2c means that his particular substance has been diluted at a ratio of 1 to 10,000. 3c means that this particular substance has been diluted at a ratio of 1 to 1,000,000. Each successive c adds 2 zeros to the end number, making it safer with every c.
Is the alcohol content in the product safe?
Yes, HomeoPet ingredients are preserved in 20% USP alcohol, which is pure ethyl alcohol, used for preserving natural ingredients. Because there is only a drop or two of alcohol per dose, most pets will have no response to oral dosing. In rare cases, a cat or dog may be sensitive to alcohol and salivate excessively, or shake his head in response to the alcohol content. This can be alleviated by putting the drops on food/treat and letting it sit for 20 minutes before presenting it to your pet as the alcohol will evaporate. Alternatively, placing drops in a small amount of water and letting sit for 20 minutes will prevent a reaction.
NOTE: When dosing very small or young pets or birds, mammals or exotics, always dilute the dose into fresh drinking water, do not administer directly to the animal. Ask your Vet or contact us for specific information.
Do they come in a larger size?
No, all formulas come in a 15 ml bio degradable plastic dropper bottle.
What is the shelf life of HomeoPet products?
There is no actual shelf life or expiry date. Homeopathics are made in 20% USP alcohol as the alcohol as the preservative. However, for government label reasons we use the standard of each country which can range between 2 years and 7 years dependent upon local label laws. Please note that products should be stored away from heat and sunlight as they can evaporate in the sun and not close to any strong odours. Store under 25 degrees Celsius.
What are the main advantages to HomeoPet products?
- Rapid acting formulas and response time leads to high customer satisfaction
- There are no side effects or chemical load on a pets system
- Vets and pet owners are considering new ways to add to their conventional treatments
- They are proven to work and are effective with FDA registrations
- No drug interactions meaning they can be used in conjunction with conventional medicines
- Non-sedating or habit forming
- Can be dosed both acute and chronic, depending on the needs of the pet
- Can be used for long term animal health
- Drops are dosed into the side of the mouth for maximum effectiveness and absorption.
Are HomeoPet products registered with the FDA?
Yes, HomeoPet products are registered with the Federal Drug Authority. HomeoPet have FDA registration in the USA which is a very high achievement. It took 7 years of research to obtain FDA National Drug Code authorisation.
The FDA drug approval number is on the back of all the packages and the SDS's. They are also manufactured under an FDA registered process, in an FDA inspected facility, meeting all GMP (good manufacturing practice) standards.
Are there any side effects with HomeoPet products?
There are no known side effects to date since 1994. However, some pets respond rapidly to homeopathics and an improvement may be seen as quickly as the first dose, and if the remedy is continued at full dosing schedule, an aggravation of the symptom may occur. Ceasing to use formula will alleviate symptoms. Some pets, especially cats, may salivate excessively, or in very rare cases, throw up. Putting drops on food/treat and letting sit for 20 minutes will prevent such a reaction as the alcohol preservative will evaporate.
Will HomeoPet formulas test on my show dog?
No, there is nothing in any of the HomeoPet products that will show up positive in tests.

How to Write Script Coverage Comments
Share this Post
I may have overwhelmed you with all the different criteria I listed in the Analysis Grid in the previous chapter, so let's pare it down a bit and talk about a few of the more essential, broad-strokes criteria you need to keep focused on when starting out.
First up, it must be noted: the more you learn about what makes a good screenplay, the more insight you'll be able to put into your comments section.
And that learning, of course, only comes by writing and reading lots of scripts, and also by reading lots of books on screenwriting.
For now, I'm going to give you two things gleaned from writing script coverage for my own script coverage company, Screenplay Readers. Because there's not enough time to pack an entire screenwriting course into a small package such as this.
1) I'm going to give you 4 big, important criteria to keep in mind when writing script coverage.
2) I'm going to give you the names of three awesome, easy to read starter books that you should get your hands on which will set you down the road towards learning everything else.
First, the 4 big, important criteria:
When you write about character in a script coverage, you'll want to ask at least two questions about the characters you read in the script:
1) Are they believable?
2) Do I care about them?
As an extremely rudimentary example:
When Luke Skywalker returns home to find his uncle and aunt killed by the Empire, we believe that he's sad, because his reaction is very similar, if not exactly like how we would probably react in the same situation.
Believability, therefore, has a everything to do with that second major factor of character, which is, empathy (i.e. Do I care about the character?)
So do you care about the characters? Did the screenwriter write the characters such that you even give a toss about what they do?
You've seen movies like this, where you sit through two hours and never once feel empathy for any of the characters.
Empathy stems from how well we, the audience, connect with the characters, and/or find them believable.
No matter how fantastic the setting or situation, if we find a piece of ourselves, the audience, in that character, then we empathize with that character, and then we believe in that character.
In a nutshell, the primary thing you want to look for when writing about character is: do we the audience care?
The next major criterion you want to comment on in a coverage is…
Is the concept strong? Is it original?
For example…
Two guys crashing weddings to hit on women…
…is a strong concept.
Secret agent from the 1960's is frozen and thawed out in the 90's to save the world…
…is a strong concept.
Mom and daughter travel across Spain picking grapes and learning about each other in the process…
Strong? Not so much.
Sure, it might be an amazing script, but it's not a strong concept.
A strong concept is hard to defined, but it typically has one or more of several different qualities:
– It's memorable.
– And/or it packs a bit of a surprise or a turnaround.
– And/or it's extremely easy to visualize.
– And/or it makes you laugh when reading it.
– And/or it makes you say "I wish I thought of that!"
You get the idea.
A script may have everything going for it, except a strong concept. And in most cases, and in my opinion, then it's probably, sadly, not going to be a very marketable script.
Next of the major criteria is…
Do the main characters in the script go up against obstacles that seem impossible to overcome?
The best kind of drama and the best way to keep an audience interested is to put your characters into a situation where the odds are against them.
If the script you read doesn't put its characters against some long odds – for example, they just seem to waltz from one minor challenge to the next, never facing anything that seems larger than them, or overpowering, or impossible to get through –
– then that script is quite simply weak when it comes to conflict.
And by the way, when a writer can put characters you empathize with, into a situation where there's a lot of conflict then that's usually when a script becomes interesting, and entertaining.
Dialogue is simply the back and forth speech of the characters. People talking to people. (Or whoever your characters are.)
Does the dialogue seem realistic and believable? Or is it stilted, and phony?
Does it have a rhythm to it? Or is it all over the place?
Does everybody talk way too much, over-explaining everything?
Good dialogue is hard to write. The best writers are those who get out into the real world and listen to how actual people speak, and then incorporate that into their dialogue writing.
Those four big criteria: Character, Concept, Conflict, and Dialogue, are the most important things to keep focused on when writing script coverage, or when learning more about screenwriting in general.
You may notice that all 4 of these tie in somehow with pretty much every criteria listed in the 25-category Analysis Grid I detailed above.
But not all script coverage criteria are tied to the core metrics of what makes a screenplay good or bad. Some criteria can appear at first blush to be quite detached from what's important about screenwriting and what makes a script entertaining or marketable.
Such criteria generally fall into the somewhat ambient realm of what I'll call "Readability."
Readability is quite simply how easy the script is for a human to read.
Good readability stems from many, many factors:
How the script looks (format, spelling, usage, etc.), word density, word choice and vocabulary, whether a writer shows us, rather than tells us, what's going on, and even such seemingly trivial things as how much white space is on the page.
All of those criteria might seem superficial, and indeed they are, but they make up a key component of the reader's experience when reading the script because if done right, they make it easy for that reader to turn each page of the script. But if done poorly, they can frustrate the reader, or give the reader the impression that the writer is a hack, or can't spell.
If a script reader loses interest in the script because she no longer trusts the writer, due to a myriad of typos, or bad format, or 50 words on the page describing what could be described in 5, it's likely that that script reader will not likely have good things to say about the script when she finishes.
That is, if she finishes.
So let's just briefly zoom into two of these types of Readability criteria. Show, Don't Tell, and General Format.
Show, Don't Tell
SHOWING and NOT TELLING means…
Instead of writing it like this:
Hey Milly, I just went to Grandma's and stole her pie off the window sill, then ran across the train tracks to meet you here.
…The writer should've written like this:
Bob grabs a pie off the window sill. He darts across the train tracks.
Hey Milly.
If a screenplay tells more than it shows, an experienced script reader knows that it's highly likely that the script has gotten the core criteria wrong as well (Character, Concept, Conflict, and Dialogue.)
Format / Readability
Format can mean a lot of things.
First, it can mean how well the script fits into the standard industry screenplay format.
Now, what is the standard industry screenplay format?
There are a myriad of script formatting guides available online or in books, and they'll all do a much better job of what I'm capable of doing in these few pages.
But briefly, the standard industry screenplay format generally looks something like this.
BOB (45) – chubby and bearded in an orange jumpsuit – juggles three apple pies.
Nancy, I'll tell you something. I don't like the looks of this.
In general, 1" margins on all sides, using a font from the Courier family, such as Courier New, or Courier Final Draft.
Tabs / indents / margins are all specified exhaustively in previously mentioned other resources.
In brief: each scene with what's called, a SCENE HEADING, where we denote interior or exterior, then the place we're at, then the time of day…
Then we have THE ACTION/DESCRIPTION text, describing what's happening in the scene, if necessary…
Then we have the CHARACTER NAME in middle.
Followed by the PARENTHETICALS, which help clarify to the reader how the dialogue that's to follow is to be read or emphasized,
And that's followed by the DIALOGUE itself, with it's own uniquely-set center margins.
And then FADE IN's and FADE OUT's and CUT TO's and other transitions…
If a script doesn't fit, even vaguely, into the standard industry format, it runs a good chance of getting tossed into the pile and never read (or dragged into the computer's Recycle Bin.) Why? The general impression the writer gives when turning in a poorly-formatted screenplay is: amateur.
But aside from format, there are those other seemingly minor things that affect Readability:
Is the script punctuated correctly?
Are there spelling errors all on every page?
Does the writer use words correctly? For example, does he confuse their with there? Or then with than?
Another good way to tell an amateur from a professional, with regards to format, is….
Look at the amount of white space in the script.
That is, if the script is jam-packed with words, then, again, the writer probably didn't get those core criteria right either (Concept, Conflict, Character, Dialogue).
Professional screenwriters and screenwriters who know their craft tend to use fewer words in general. (Not always, but most of the time.) And fewer words often means a more white space, a tighter read, and a more enjoyable experience for the reader or audience.
Should I Note Everything That's Wrong?
Generally, all of these criteria you're looking for don't require you to list every single page where every single thing that goes wrong, happens.
If you want to give examples of where, say, the characters are not believable, then go ahead and just give one or two specific examples with page numbers but don't list all of them.
Script coverage is not the format for listing every single thing that goes wrong. That's more in the realm of script notes and script consulting.
In coverage, list the big problems, giving one or two page numbers as an example of where the problem occurs, and specific suggestions on how to fix them.
Essentially, coverage is not supposed to get bogged down in a ton of specifics. But at the same time, don't be too vague either.
Other Criteria
Now, some coverage companies, as I mentioned, will have you consider other criteria in your comments as well.
Criteria such as, how much you think the script would cost to make….whether it's $5 million or $150 million. Etc.
Also, maybe, what audience you think this script would do well with. Or even, which name actors would be a fit for each of the lead characters in the script?
With each company you do coverage for, if they ask for this, they'll give you their guidelines and help you get oriented on what to write.
You don't need to worry about being a box office accountant, or an expert on which celebrities are which, or anything like that, although it doesn't hurt.
Just be fluent in writing about scripts using the main criteria / major metrics I listed above, and you'll be okay.
Three Must-Read Books
Now, in order to really know your stuff, if you don't already, I recommend three book which you should read:
500 Ways to Beat The Hollywood Script Reader, by Jennifer Lerch
Screenplay by Syd Field
And Story by Robert McKee
All should be available at Amazon.com, and for cheap. Or, just get to a film library and borrow them.
After you've read all three, you'll know all the necessary scriptwriting criteria to write about, and then some. More importantly, those three books are an easy way to spark your interest in learning more about screenwriting, and absorbing as much as possible about the craft.

Rural Broadband Issues – Slow and Bumpy Digital Roads!
Rural America still has major connectivity problems as it trys to participate in the modern age
I moved from Omaha, NE, to the small town that I grew up in four years ago. I work in the software industry and had hoped that technology today would provide me with a good solid Internet connection allowing me to live where I want to and be connected. I wonder if I am not alone with this wish as things are not that great here.
While in a larger city, we rarely experienced any interruptions or degraded Internet service. I realize that our neighborhood had fiber optics up to our house, so one would expect things to be fast and work. Not quite the case in rural America.
Our digital needs today touch most every aspect of our personal and business lives, like it or not, we need to be connected. Lately, my Internet provider has experienced many down days due to equipment issues. We are always a few days out on the service schedule as I assume tech teams come from a larger city, which is frustrating.
When things do work, connections seem to always be too slow. Rural providers have oversold the local network with too small of a backhaul or the pipe that connects all of us back to the Internet. I realize that the population is less in small towns and the country, but we rely on being connected just as much as anyone else does and deserve much better service!
Economic development in rural America, in my opinion, depends on decent Internet connectivity. If we want to attract more young folks, they certainly won't put up with slow and spotty connections. We are nowhere close to what our friends in the city have for connectivity. Pretty hard to cut the cable or satellite TV and stream content when the pipes are slow and full!
The Ag Department's $3 Billion Rural Broadband Initiative's Program has fallen short — great idea, but poor execution. http://www.informationweek.com/government/mobile-and-wireless/federal-broadband-program-falls-short/d/d-id/1278662
So, what can we expect down the road for those of us that are in rural areas? I realize there are satellite options, and I have tried them. They limit or charge more for the amount of data used and there tends to be some keyboard delays. I realize your requests are traveling some 26K miles up and back again to the bird. If there are no other solutions, then you settle.
The small town I live in does have dark fiber (not lit up, but could be), but requires several thousand per month to crank it up. Just a bit above my budget for gigabit speeds! There are companies that are working on solutions, such as ViaSat – you can check out a nice video at this link; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIdn5RmUwWs&feature=youtu.be and others as well I am sure.
Facebook's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg is working on providing connectivity world-wide as well. The site https://info.internet.org/en/ show's some pictures assumed to be in third-world countries, but I would really like good solid access in Nebraska! Usually, big problems get fixed, but with lower populations, we are apparently second or third in line for help.
Here is a great read regarding high-speed Internet access by Sara Kubik – pretty much says it all; http://www.lawtechnologytoday.org/2016/07/high-speed-internet-access-not-basic-right-2/
Here is a map showing the connectivity holes in the U.S. https://www.inverse.com/article/14248-will-cheap-broadband-actually-make-it-to-rural-america-here-s-how-it-might-happen
I will keep an eye open for potential solutions and report back. In the mean-time, I wait somewhat, OK completely impatiently! Drop us an email if you have found a great solution provider for us rural folks and I will check into it and add to a future blog.

If audiences leave Kong: Skull Island already wishing they could make a second visit to the monster-infested locale, they're in luck: A new comic book spinoff will launch next month to reveal the origins of Kong and some of the mysteries of Skull Island itself.
Skull Island: The Birth of Kong, will act as both a sequel and prequel to the new movie, as a team of Monarch agents visit the island to find out more about the giant ape and just why he's so dedicated to defending this particular island. Along the way, the reader will find out about the island's history of war between Kong and the other creatures on the island — and what made him king of all he surveys.
The four-issue series will be written by Red Sonja and Warlord of Mars veteran Arvid Nelson, with art by Malaysian artist Zid. The first issue will be released April 5 in comic book stores and digitally via Legendary Comics, with a free preview available as part of the March Loot Crate, as well as digitally via ComiXology.

Fiddling While Africa Starves
by Brandon Keim
A few days from now, approximately 60,000 people will arrive in Johannesburg, South Africa for the United Nations World Summit on Sustainable Development.
The Johannesburg Summit is particularly significant because it comes ten years after the landmark Earth Summit in Rio, where well-meaning government leaders and professional activists actually produced something more than more than hot air: Agenda 21, a comprehensive declaration of principles and plan of action for guiding the world towards sustainable patterns of development. The Johannesburg Summit is billed as a crucial step in fulfilling the potential of Agenda 21, promising to identify achievable short-term goals and establish concrete plans for their achievement.
Certainly the need for sustainable development is more obvious than ever. The excesses of short-sighted industrialization and overconsumption have thrown the Earth dangerously out of balance, with catastrophic climate shifts and shortages of natural resources promising massive famine, disease, and social unrest in coming decades. The cloud of toxic pollution two miles high which now shrouds southern Asia from Afghanistan to Sri Lanka is a gruesome exclamation point on the state of the planet and many of its inhabitants.
However, even if one dismisses critics who portray the Johannesburg Summit as a vast self-congratulatory talking shop, there is no question that the organizers and attendees are guilty of either shamefully poor taste or nauseating hypocrisy.
Southern Africa is on the brink of what has been described as the worst humanitarian crisis in a decade. According to the World Health Organization, between twelve and fourteen million in people face starvation in the next several months; famine looms over Malawi, Zambia, Lesotho, Swaziland, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. Child malnutrition is rising dramatically, disease is rampant, and the nightmare is exacerbated by rates of AIDS infection ranging from 13% in Mozambique to 33% in Zimbabwe.
No mention of the famine can be found on the official UN Summit website, nor on the site of JOWSCO, the South African logistical managers. United Nations reaction has been limited to a tepid memo from UN Secretary General Kofi Annan's chief of staff, warning UN delegates not to bring more aides than necessary, as it "could be perceived as an obvious waste of personnel and financial resources."
"We must keep in mind that this conference is taking place in the midst of a major food crisis in southern Africa, affecting 13 million people," reads the memo. "It would be wise to refrain from excessive levels of hospitality, and any event sponsored by the United Nations should be of modest, even frugal, dimensions."
Such callousness might be expected from a meeting of the World Trade Organization or IMF -- but not from the professed defenders of humanity's poor and downtrodden.
While impending famine is not sufficient reason to halt the Summit -- the crisis at least partly results from the absence of sustainable development, and the goals of Agenda 21 must be met quickly if future crises are to be averted -- the apparent indifference of Summit organizers to the horror surrounding them is unconscionable.
The United Nations has budgeted $47 million for the Johannesburg Summit. Attendees will spend roughly $5,000 apiece on airfare, food, and lodging. All told, more than a quarter of a billion dollars will be spent debating the future of sustainable development -- and none of it, apparently, will reach the millions of people about to starve outside the Summit doors.

TEENAGERS as young as 14 are becoming rent boys in a desperate bid to feed a growing drug habit.

"More than 90 per cent of these boys are heterosexual, they are simply doing it to pay back drug dealers," said Mr Gavin at a meeting of the St Paul's Square Business Liaison Partnership.
"This problem has been going on discreetly in the area for the past two decades but now some of these youngsters are flagging down cars and the public are horrified.

It's now been over a month since the Netanyahu speech was announced in Washington as a morning-after rebuke to the president's appeal for Iran negotiations in his State of the Union speech, and the drama yielded yet another great reward yesterday when Secretary of State John Kerry said Netanyahu was "wrong" to oppose the U.S. preliminary deal with Iran and criticized Netanyahu for his advice to the U.S. before we invaded Iraq in 2003.
"The Prime Minister was also profoundly forward-leaning about the importance of invading Iraq under George W Bush, and we all know what happened with that decision."
Below is the Netanyahu testimony on the Iraq war, at CSPAN. Excerpt:
"If you take out Saddam's regime, I guarantee you that it will have enormous positive reverberations on the region… The task and the great opportunity and challenge is not merely to effect the ouster of the regime, but also to transform the region."
Kerry's criticism links Netanyahu implicitly with the neoconservatives who pushed the war to transform the Middle East, and makes all but explicit the idea that the neocons pushed the war out of concern for Israel's security. A friend wrote to me yesterday that Kerry was channeling Walt and Mearsheimer, the realist scholars who described the neocons-for-Israel agenda in their landmark 2006 paper The Israel Lobby.
Talking Points Memo leaped on this idea, leading its story:
Secretary of State John Kerry on Wednesday slammed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's opposition to a potential nuclear deal with Iran, calling it as wrongheaded as the prime minister's backing of the Iraq War.
Typically, the New York Times made light of the issue. It said about 17 paragraphs down in its story that Kerry had "needled" Netanyahu on this point. But it wasn't a needle. Chris Matthews, also excited by the Iraq angle, last night called the Netanyahu speech fallout a "crapstorm" and led off his show with the controversy.
We know this tonight. This fight is escalating… And Secretary of State John Kerry is hitting Netanyahu on his history of hawkish statements including one pushing the United States to invade Iraq, saying how great it would be for the region. It was a very tough shot from the secretary, a sign of how tough this fighting is getting.
Matthews calls it a tough shot, not a needle. I can't believe the New York Times. It will do anything to avoid looking seriously at the Israel agenda of the Iraq war-planners. Which, thanks to John Kerry, is becoming conventional wisdom after all.
The dual loyalty issue came up on Hardball when Charlie Rangel came on and while professing loyalty to Israel and saying that the two countries are "joined at the hip," stated his shock to discover that Israeli ambassador Ron Dermer "comes from Florida."
He's formerly a Democrat or a Republican activist, as his father was. So he goes over to Israel and now he comes back here playing friendship with his Republican partners.
Yes, what's that about? And why can a privileged American Jew move to that country and have political power while a Palestinian who was born there can't go back to his home?
The AP coverage says that Democrats are in a bind on the speech:
Netanyahu's plans to speak to Congress have irritated many Democratic members, but also have put them in a difficult spot – fearing they will look anti-Israel if they don't attend.
And why do they fear looking anti-Israel? That's about campaign donations. AP notes that more Democratic legislators announced they would skip the speech–
Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine and Illinois Rep. Jan Schakowsky becoming the latest on Wednesday.
Kaine said Netanyahu's speech was "highly inappropriate" given its proximity to Israel's March 17 Israeli elections.
Schakowsky said she was concerned that the address could end up scuttling delicate negotiations with Iran.
"If the talks are to fail, let Iran be the party that walks away from the table rather than the United States," Schakowsky, who is Jewish, said in a statement.
More on the skippers from the Washington Post:
Kaine joins Senate colleagues Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.), Bernard Sanders (I-Vt.) and Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) in skipping the prime minister's address.
The New York Times reports that Netanyahu is pressing forward on his agenda, taking on Iran.
At a campaign event in Israel on Wednesday, Mr. Netanyahu stood firm, ratcheting up his criticism of the developing deal with Iran. Referring to the world powers negotiating with Tehran, he said "it seems they have given up on that commitment" to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear bomb, according to the Israeli daily Haaretz.
"I respect the White House and the president of the United States," he was quoted as saying. "But on such a critical topic that could determine whether we exist or not, it is my duty to do everything to prevent this great danger to the state of Israel."
One of the big political beneficiaries of Netanyahu's blunder is the liberal Zionist group J Street, which now looks exactly like AIPAC, the old Israel lobby, and is getting more and more support inside the Democratic Party. It has a giant ad in the New York Times today that is disgraceful in its emphasis: it accuses Netanyahu of trying to manipulate the Israeli elections. Who cares about the Israeli election when US foreign policy is on the line? Not a word about Netanyahu's effort to get the U.S. into a war with Iran. That is the real danger of this speech. But you can see all J Street is worried about is damage to the US-Israeli relationship. Thankfully, as this drama escalates, Americans will talk about the real question, the one John Kerry framed: Should Netanyahu help get us into another war?
Israeli ambassador Ron Dermer has his own graphic that he tweeted. His most alarmist crazy message yet.
Oh and here is more payoff from the speech. Nicholas Kristof in the Times reports angrily from the West Bank, and says that Netanyahu should talk about the occupation in his speech.
the occupation is particularly offensive to me because it is conducted by the United States' ally, underwritten with our tax dollars, supported by tax-deductible contributions to settlement groups, and carried out by American bulldozers and weaponry, and presided over by a prime minister who is scheduled to speak to Congress next week.

What Happens After Your LinkedIn Campaign
Tuesday July 29, 2014
What Happens After Your LinkedIn Campaign By Jorge Argota From an analytical stand point, numbers do lie and dont always tell the story. However, digging and drilling into your analytics will help you create the story. Along the way I will discuss the analytics of social media essentials so you have a better understating of your LinkedIn marketing campaign. When we talk about a LinkedIn campaign in reference to Google analytics, there are three ways to classify your data. LinkedIn Referrals The first type is social referrals: which happens to be the organic source e.g. shares of a post or an update which, in effect, brought visitors to your website through a link. You would also want to track your paid ads on LinkedIn. LinkedIn Plug-ins Then the second is the... Read More
Additional Information about Google Searches
Saturday March 1, 2014
The Google search is incredibly powerful when you do an advanced search or Boolean search on LinkedIn and LinkedIn does not give you the results you want. You just pull in Site: LinkedIn.com/in in the search bar, and then whatever content you can pull from the LinkedIn profile, put that in quotation marks, hit enter, and youre going to get the first and last name of the individual that you are looking for. You can also do this to find individuals in a group. One of the premium filters in the advanced search is the ability to search through groups and even for members within a specific zip code. But what if I dont have a premium account? Well, heres the workaround. I can use Google to search and identify members of a Linked group specific even to a location, so its very similar. Its...

text: Health / diabetes We've Made Huge Progress on One Diabetes Front Dangerous complications are way down By Matt Cantor, Newser User Posted Apr 17, 2014 10:31 AM CDT Copied Dangerous diabetes complications have dropped significantly, a study finds. (Shutterstock) (Newser) – A major federal study points to vast improvements in the fight against diabetes-related ailments, thanks in large part to improving treatment. Complications from diabetes have plummeted over two decades, the New York Times reports: For instance, heart attacks among diabetes sufferers have dropped 68% since 1990 (and 31% in the general population). Deaths from high blood sugar sank 64%, Reuters reports, and rates of stroke and lower-limb amputations plunged by about half. The rate of serious kidney disease, meanwhile, dropped by about 28%. story continues below "This is the first really credible, reliable data that demonstrates that all of the efforts at reducing risk have paid off," says an expert. Among those efforts: educating patients on how to take care of themselves, and better use of medications that control factors that can fuel complications, like blood sugar and cholesterol. The bad news: The period between 1990 and 2010 saw the number of Americans with diabetes more than triple to 26 million, the Times notes, with most of those cases being Type 2. An additional 79 million Americans face a high risk of becoming diabetic, and the disease costs about $176 billion every year. Overall, "I tend to see this (study) as more good news than bad news," says its lead author. (Read more diabetes stories.)
