I've tried to stay as far away as possible from Marie Kondo's book on organizing, even though I badly need help. My brain just does not think in an organized way and it's truly painful for me to try to imagine organization schemes. But I couldn't help it. I was curious to see a couple of Kondo's . . .

My husband An ase certified tech scanned the car no codes. All sensors reading normal. Fuel pressure stays consistent at 42lbs. Checked cat it's clean. When driving normal it's fine. When in heavy acceleration it bogs down. When you release the peddle and accelerat normal its fine. Any suggestions?
My car has 145000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
This sounds like a very tricky problem to diagnose. Did you check the fuel pressure with the fuel pressure regulator disconnected? Perhaps there isn't enough fuel pressure at full throttle, or the fuel pressure regulator leaks and floods it out at full throttle. It could also have an injector that's sticking open. There could be a problem with the throttle body or the throttle position sensor. There is also a chance that the ECM has failed causing a flooding issue, or there is a bad ground wire for the ECM or ignition system. The only way to know for sure would be to use a more advanced scan tool and watch all the live data values while driving the car, to see whats going on with the car. You could call an independent technician, like one from YourMechanic, who can come by with a capable scan tool and help diagnose the acceleration issue you're having.

You can manage your business from your bedroom but to sell online you will require VAT registration and problem is VAT you will not get on residential property.
You need to have a commercial place for that. You can rent a small shop for getting vat.

In her writing and directorial debut, Konkona SenSharma constructs and deconstructs family dynamics with a lens that captures the stunning beauty of McCluskieganj, even as it peels away the ugliness and murkiness of what could lie underneath those very dynamics in those very haunting landscapes. A Death in the Gunj isn't a pacy thriller, nor does it aspire to be one. The director weaves the plot around an Anglo-Indian family, setting her pen and camera in an unobtrusive yet observant corner, being your everyday broadcaster of a family that's gotten together for New Year's in 1978, and then ensures it all unravels by the time the calendar changes its circa.
Nandu (Gulshan Devaiah), his wife Bonnie (Tillotama Shome), their daughter Tani (Arya Sharma), Nandu's cousin Shutu (Vikrant Massey), and Bonnie's friend Mimi (Kalki Koechlin) arrive at Nandu's parents' – O.P. (Om Puri) and Anupama (Tanuja) Bakshi – in McCluskieganj in an Ambassador car. You know that by the end of the week, that very car will be carrying a dead body and be on its way to the morgue. But before that happens, you must also meet Nandu and Shutu's other cousins, Vikram (Ranvir Shorey) and Brian (Jim Sarbh). Add two other characters in the Bakshi residence, their Man Friday Mania (Ashok Pathak) and his wife and house maid Manjari (Saraswati Devi), and you're ready to join the family routine.
The director beautifully builds the characters and their personalities through evenings of drinks, dinner, morning tea, parties, and picnics, getting their hairdo, spectacle frames, clothes and the 70s rebel look as if she's made you travel back in time. As each scene unfolds, the layers of interaction between each of them and how they impact others does too. And she shifts long untouched stones, leaving you to jump back at the crawling and lingering creatures that no one in the room wants to acknowledge. Much before you realize it, you've actually begun to get deeply involved with this motley bunch, following their banter, understanding what makes them tick and what ticks them off.
But it is the darker side of the relationships that hold a semblance of a thriller, including a superbly shot séance scene, that set the tone for what becomes a disturbing and deeply moving denouement to the movie. And in that sense, A Death in the Gunj is a study of how taken-for-granted some introverts in a family can feel, and how asymptomatic these feelings can seem to the rest. Director SenSharma weaves her story using moments that are painful, joyful, and truthful even.
She shoots a sunny scene with Shutu and Tani, where both of them and you rediscover the simple, seemingly inhuman, and yet satisfying experience of frying an insect on a leaf using a magnifying lens. Or, the absolutely true-to-life shot where the maid complains to her husband, wondering when the guests will scoot, and relieve them of their additional burden. Or, the blink-and-you-miss scene where the class demarcation is neatly delineated, when after a scene at a raucous party in the Bakshi's living room, you're taken into their back-verandah, where the servants are having their dinner, just the rice and some gravy, and Manjari's also feeding the small puppy that Tani's been gifted.
Sagar Desai composes a very moving and sparse background score – a guitar (that he plays himself), flutes and the harp combine to create lonely and lovely pieces that add to the greyish mood.
The ensemble cast does an eminently terrific job, their interplay completely au naturel. Gulshan Devaiah see-saws perfectly between a guy who's cool and a family man to being a strict brother to Shutu; Tillotama Shome is splendid as his wife, a caring mother who wants to have good time, and finally trying to keep her best friend in rein; Kalki smoulders and stumbles oh so well as the jealous Mimi, her best moments in a drunken scene and then a seduction that follows; Ranvir Shorey is very unlikeable as the brash Vikram, getting physical and also hogging the limelight whenever he wants with a flick of his hair; the late Om Puri and Tanuja waltz through their roles with an élan that only supreme talent can. Speaking of which, Vikrant Massey shines as the sensitive Shutu, and the director takes special care of him as she shows you his desires, his failings, his jealousy, and his hurt. There's a stunning scene where Shutu and a predator come face to face, pitch dark in the jungle – and the switcheroo of their lives hits you smack in your gut, as the four-legged creature's free to move about and Shutu's trapped, physically and metaphorically.
"You're beautiful", an appraising Kalki's Mimi tells Massey's Shutu in one scene. What she doesn't realize, as don't others in his family, is that all of that beauty stems from his loneliness, hurt, and desire to be loved.
A Death in the Gunj is rated A (Restricted to adults). There's an intimate scene, coarse language, and a shocking ending.

How to Train Pet Rats
Training Basics
Rats can be easily trained to do simple tasks. You may actually be training your rat already.... You just may not know it.
Teaching your rat to come when called- When you go to the cage and either say the rat's name or make a clicking noise, you teach the rat to come to the cage door so that you can open it. The rat comes to you when he hears his name or the noise, and you reward that behavior by either giving him a treat or taking him out to play.
Cute Tricks
Simple tricks that do not require much serious training.
You can teach your pet rat to kiss you by smearing a small bit of yogurt or baby food on you cheek or the back of your hand. Let the rat lick it off your skin. You'll need to do this several times over a period of time. But, every time the rat is offered your cheek or hand they will lick expecting to taste yogurt or baby food.
Training Clicker
Clicker Training
The clicker is a powerful training tool for training just about any animal. When used wrong it is highly ineffective, but properly, it makes an effective training aid.
A clicker works on the basis of positive reinforcement to which the animal wants to work for you. By using positive reinforcement methods for training, the animal remains attentive and focused for longer pierods of time.
Because rats do not understand human language, we can confuse them with different voice tones and noise, so using a clicker for training works best, as it is a distinctive sound that they will quickly associate with a reward.
You will want to try to minimize talking to your rat when training because you will usually confuse it. Use the clicker as the praise, as you will not click until the right behaviors are performed. Wrong behaviors are ignored completely.
Using the clicker training method, it's a more hands-off approach, so never punish your rat.
Training Pet Rats
When getting started, make sure that you have a clicker and small treats that your rat can eat quickly. Make sure it's your rat's favorite treats, so that he won't get tired of it. You can use yogurt or baby food so that you rat gets a lick and you can take it away.
Make sure there are no distractions around you or the rat. No toys. No other rats. Etc. Make sure that it's you, your rat, and an empty table or bed.
When you start using the clicker, the rat may jump at first, but be patient, he will get used to the sound.
Training to Come When Called
Training Your Rat to Come
Without saying anything, when the rat starts to come towards you click the clicker. Wait a second before treating the rat.
Don't let the rat have too much of the treat because you want him eager for more.
You will want to try this again, but at this point your rattie friend may not want to leave your side, hoping to get another taste, so go to the other side of the table or bed and wait for him to come to you again. Once he does, click and treat.
Repeat this a few times.
Then, start to wait longer between the click and treat, so that the rat knows that the treat comes after the click, and when you release the click, he will be rewarded.
Depending on how fast your rat picks this up, you may want to stop now before he looses interest in the game. Otherwise, if you wait too late, he will get tired of the clicker and more than likely loose concentration.
As you continue training you rat to come towards you, he'll start to master it. At this point, you will want to begin alternating the time you click and treat with clicking without treating. Basically, start giving treats out more sparingly. Otherwise, you'll have a rat that will only work for food until he's bored or full.
Training Your Rat to Beg
The next step includes luring the rat to do the behavior.
You can start with "begging."
Using the treat, draw your hand above the rat's nose, so that he gets a good sniff of the treat. Hold the treat right above his head. He should automatically reach up to grab the treat, and when he does click and treat him.
Repeat this a few times until he knows what you want him to do.
After a few repetitions, you may want to take a break.
When you start a new training session, begin where you left off. Then, start to vary the time between the click and treat.
Move towards varying the up treat giving. Remember to always click, even if you don't give a treat.
Rat Trained for Agility Course
Training Pet Rats by Shaping a Behavior
When you shape the behavior, you are basically using natural behaviors that your rat already does, but now showing him to do it when you ask, so to speak.
Take training a pet rat to use a weave obstacle. To start, you will want to click after every stage of the behavior, one pole at a time.
As soon as the rat moves towards the weave, click and treat. Repeat this a few times, but stop after the rat realizes, "Ok walk towards the obstacle, get treated."
Now, you will only click and treat the rat when he moves around one weave pole, in the right direction. Repeat this several times. It may take different training sessions to complete this one stage.
Once the rat picks up weaving one pole, only click and treat if he does 2 weave poles. Then, 3, 4, 5, and so on until he completes the full weave.
The goal is for the rat to perform the full weave obstacle with only one click and treat. Once the rat understands this and can complete the task without fail, begin to vary the time frame between click and treat and then start being stingy with the treats.
Tips to Remember
- Keep training sessions short- no longer than 10 to 15 minutes
- Always stop training before the rat gets bored or tired
- Work on one behavior at a time
- Do not speak when starting off with a new behavior- add the cue LAST
- Recap previous sessions before moving on
- Vary your click and treat once the rat starts to get the hang of a behavior
- Click AT the behavior, not before or after
- No hands. No punishment
Adding the Command
So, now that your rat knows the behavior that you want him to do, you probably want to teach him to do the behavior on command. I mean, that's what a trick is, right?
Ok, so here's where it gets a little tricky.
Before you consider adding a cue, you need to make sure that your rat is performing the behavior almost all of the time without fail.
One he is, you can start to exchange the click for the command or cue that you want to use. Make sure that is short and clear, so that it's easier to understand. You will confuse your rat with longer phrases and cues.
In this instance, you will have the rat do the behavior and say the cue, then treat. No click.
Repeat this over and over and over again.
Don't start adding multiple cues with multiple behaviors at once. Work on one at a time, as to not confuse your rat.
When agility training, the rat will recognize the obstacle and perform the behavior from memory.

is there a way u can train ur rat 2 be let loose in the house but 4 him 2 stay in a certain place in the house and 4 him not 2 run away becausse i have a dog and our dog doesn't like the rat
i have a white rat and 7 guinea pigs
I have two male fancy rats. One is Wilbur and the other Orville (We live in North Carolina, first in flight, the Wright Brothers were Wilbur and Orville) they are so much fun and just love to come out of the cage! They love it when I clean out the cage first thing in the morning and think the toilet paper is a toy, and when I vacuum, they run straight up the cage as if to say "Hey!! Whatcha doin'!!" I am going to start trying to train them soon, this is the first time I have owned rats, so it will be a learining experience for all three of us!! :)
I have a pet rat that i bought recently. Ratigan is young and all over the place. He loves coming out of his cage, and i even take him shopping with me. His favorite thing to do is sit with my friends and I while we smoke hookah. For those of you who don't know, hookah is a moistened, flavored tobacco called shisha smoked out of a water pipe. I know this can't be very good for him, but he loves to sit with us while we smoke. Aldo, he seems really O.C.D about his cage, constantly moving and rearranging things. I've had rats n the past, but none of them were O.C.D like Ratigan is.
i love rats they are the best
I have 2 pet rats! one is shy and one is brave! their names are mici and oreo!
I have a dumbo rat and thanks to you she sits kisses me and lisens to my command (;Peace out;)
@Thayla,Rats will grind their teeth when they're in a state of contentment,also called bruxing.They will also grind their teeth when they are stressed,.Another reason is to wear down the teeth.Get some chew sticks(no ceder or pine please)for them to chew on and remove anything that could be stressing them out from the area.You'll know if it's bruxing because bruxing is most often followed by boggeling,which is when the eyes bulge out of their sockets.
thanks my rat doesn't really do any tricks
Hello Whitney, I've had many rats in the past, but all were but my friendly companions and I've never attempted to train one. Anyhow, I just bought 2 male rats and have them in a 75 gallon aquarium.. it's like a Rat Gymnasium and I'm building a hutch to sit on top so it'll be the ultimate mansion with multiple levels when it's done. My question, since I've become interested in training, is the recommended clicker.. the one I bought at Petsmart seems awful loud. I'd like to train them for sure, but I'm a little worried that the sound is so loud that it might scare them. Are your clickers very loud? If not, is there a certain brand that you would recommend that might be a little more 'rat' friendly? And lastly, I'm going over some old college textbooks to refresh my memory on operant conditioning. Is that the training method you use? It seems as if it is. Thanks :)
I don't no what 2 do!My rat Coco isn't interested in doing ANYTHING but either hiding in her fake minie log, and darting from one wall, to an other!Please help me!

Hi. I want to get a pet rat, but I want it to be friendly, social and smart. Do you know which gender is the most social or smart?
great site! i had a rat off a friend as she could no longer keep it, i only had it a week ago and was a bit dodgy handling him at 1st but wow what cool pets always had a dog b4 but now luving the rats he (billy) is so friendly and we r now bonding well and he gets loads of out of cage time. only prob is he is about 18 months really would like him 2 have a new buddy 2 play with in his cage but with all his new changes i think it would freak him out agree?
i have a rat and i have been training him with your website. ps.my rat is very smart
i got my 2 rats today they are small and cute... i named them gracie and willow. they are not from the same rat but they are the same age. i was making a box hoise for thrm today. if i used tayp do u think they would eat it its kinda like ducktayp but its like green i just wanted to ask that before i put them in k well i just wannad to know thx bye
hey im getting a rat for christmas i was looking at them they are so cute just what do you think i should get for the rat? what kind of toys the cage size , food treats things like that
We have cute little girl named Tinka, that we brought home 2 weeks ago. She loves to come out and play, and I was just wondering something. On occasion, she will run really fast, and sprint around for a bit. Almost in a frantic state. Is this pretty normal? She is 2 months old. Thanks!
i just got a 7 month old dumbo rat and he is really sweet.... he seems to like running around but i am not really sure... i only got him, do you think i need to get him a companion??? would he be happier?
hi! my rats already come when they are told so im going to teach them other tricks!
One of my rats gives me kisses and "facials" lots and loves to eat paer and cardboard, keep trying to discourage her but it never works and the other one rarely gives kisses but loves getting rubs and cuddles. Both love treats, of course, but training is not happening lol I'll persevere though. I love them so much. Poor little thing keep getting kicked by accident while running about and following me but scooping them up and apologising and kissing and cuddling them means I'm soon forgiven. Love them to bits and they love me.
i taught my rats to go into the carrying cage just by calling them and giving them these little yogurt drops called "yogies" and by the way, do you know where to get rat leashes for small rats? my petco in bellevue only have them for medium rats.
I am getting a rat for a science project that I am doing. I am going to train the rat. I was wondering. Do you know what kinds of Rats are the smartest and learn the best? I was thinking of a fancy american blue. Thanks! really cool article.
Oh, okay, thanks. I'm still thinking about it. One more thing. When you train a rat, how long does it take for them to master that trick? And how do you know that they've mastered it? :)
Hi there! I'm planning to get a pet rat but I'm scared that I have to leave the house for a couple of years and my mom and/or sister havta take care of them. They're not that fond of animal so I figured they will just feed them and clean their cage and not let them out or play with them. My question is, can rats live like that - for a couple of years?
I am going this weekend to get a rattie. So is my boyfriend. Each of us are getting a male. I've done all my research and know everything I need to do for caring for them. I can't wait to train him and become attached to him. :)
just one question. I know they sell leashes for rats but I don't think that'd be too comfortable for them. Am I right?
Hi.Both of my female rats Grind there teeth. It doesn't seem to hurt them but its very loud and sounds alarming. Is this normal?
my pet rat pande is so adorable and all the tricks she learnd were from this website.She can do everything on this page. She's a very smart RAT!!!
What kinds of vegtables can rats eat? They won't eat carrots.
Thanks for the great hub! I was looking up things to do with my two rats and this is perfect. The course is so cool- I enjoyed watching that and didn`t know you could train a rat to do all that!
hey i used your page on my science project hope i get an A cant waite !! thanks soo much !! love your dog and rats ! hahahahah santa !
I thought it was fun like chasing her around. My rat is very smart, he keeps finding ways to get out of his cage. And I used plain yogurt, but she won't lick it.
Wait, I was gonna ask ya something but forgot. What kind of yogurt should I use to teach my rat to kiss? I tried just plain, but she wouldn't eat it. what kind should I use?
It doesn't hurt the guinea pig, that's not my point. I just wanted to ask about if I can give them baths. Today, we came home, and one of our rats got out of the cage and we couln't find him! We thought he was in the vent, so we were searching there for like half an hour, then my friend Andrea found him in my dresser drawer! (Which I also found droppings on my clothes...) But It was fun. And can I put clothes on it? Wait, I shouldn't ask that cause I'm doing it anyway. lol. Well, I guess thanks for the help. Sorry if I sound rude... :)
But will it hurt them to give them real baths? Like, can I use baby soap, cause I have to use that with my guinea pig so it won't sting the eyes. But will it hurt them to put soap on them?
Hi, yesterday me and my sister just got 2 rats that are about 3-4 months old. We want to take care of them as best as we can. Can you tell me about bathing? I think it would be fun and cool to bathe my rat because I've always treated animals like babies and brushed them, and walked them, and bathes them. So would it hurt it to bathe it about once a month? And around how much are the rat blocks?
thank you whitney. I'll check online. Next time i go to get them out I'll try without the cat and dogs around. this might be one of the reasons they don't want out
Hi i brought two females 1 week ago and they are 8 weeks old today. i want to train them but they don't like anywhere in my house they both settled fastly but stay hidden in their cage cause of the cat. when i get time alone i use spagetti as a treat is this ok to use? also where can i get a mazuri rat block as my pet store only sells mixes? thanks and whitney you should start a site about rats your info is great
Hi yeah the rat is deaf it was confirmed by our vet on Friday there, we took both of them for a check up. He is an albeno rat and thinks he was probably born deaf but his brother is fine, he does have some brown in him. It is just hard to find stuff for training a deaf rat, Thanks for the help anyway
Hi I'm just wondering if u can give me any tips on how to train ma pet rat. I just found out a few days ago that he is deaf. We have 2 rats, the other is starting to come to his name and we feel comfortable letting his explore the room as he comes back but the other doesn't as you can't shout on him cause he can't hear us. Any advice, that can help in the training of him
I have two 5 month old male rats. I had them since they were a month old. Is it to late to potty train them or train them in general. Also one of my rats is really social and likes to follow people around but the other rat runs to hide in my closet every time I let him out and runs from me when i go to hold him. Is this normal? Thank you.
my rat is about 1 1/2. i have been feeding her a seed mix for her whole life. can i still switch to a rat block diet? how big should a rat that age be?
she has a few houses a hamock tunnels and balls
hey, i got a new cage a few weeks ago and it is metal and she keeps biting on it at nite is there any way i can get her to stop, she is driving me CRAZY!!!!!!
i got a pet rat today, i named her Mable, anyway.shes very calm and not as active as my other rats have been. im not sure if shes sick or not. she doesn't seem sick. maybe shes just a calm rat? shes about a month old so is it her age?
do u use mazuri for its food everyday or as a treat??
what toys can you use, i am curently using a hamster cage(only until friday, i am getting a big cage) i have some wood chips bedding cotton and a tube, but i let her run around on my bed and she goes in pants and blankets and stuff. what toys can i buy for her? what toys do ur rats like?
what is a rat block diet??my rat is more playful with me now she is jumping on my head and llicking my face and climbing on my arm.. ireally want to teach her how to fetch balls and rocks out of the water.
i bought a rat yesterday and it is very curios and wonders i am curently trying to teach it to come to its name, but sometimes its not intrested in the treat , why is that? is there any way to make it less curious and listen better?
Hey your hub really helped me. i am getting a rat soon, and i want to know do you get them young, or old?
Hi!! Your tips on training ur pet rats are reali brilliant! Ive finally taught my rat to give kisses!! Its ever so cute!! Thanks!! :D
hey whitney,nice blog by the way,anyway,my question is that my orange haired pet which accendently got into some dye,thunder,is a bit under the weather today...he doesn't seem as hyper as he used to be,i usually keep 2 rat blocks in his cage,which is pretty huge,has 5 rooms,plus 2 babies,the mother died from birth,and when i looked at him,his nose was bleeding,he keeps shivering,and the bottom of his fur has turned yellow...should i see the vet,train him a bit more to keep him active,or take a rat block out?
Thanks for the fast reply. The cage is a fair size, 3 beds, and toys I rotate with others daily to keep it exciting. They're also normally out 2-3 hours throughout the day. I used to keep a running wheel in for them, but they just never got intrested in it.
I have two female rats, both well trained, but one of them loves chewing on the bars of their metal cage whenever she hears a sound. It's annoying and any verbal command seems to just encourage her. Have any advice to give that might stop this behaviour? Thanks in advance.
no belle does not chew at all!! and when i say nasty i mean yellowish orangeish colour!! but i will try a rat block. THANK EWE!!
My rat Belle has somthin like eye boogies. the are kinda red.
Belle does NOT chew on her chew block and has nasty teeth. She also learned to come when I call her by herself. Belle started lickin my lips by herself. I just cant wait to train her!! Thx 4 the tips on training rats!! BYE!!
what can you make for pet rats food
I recently bought a young rat and it seems amazingly hyper,is that normal?
OK... so what is a rat block? If that's the best to give him then i will... what types of foods should he be eating? Any fruits and veggies ok?
I have 1 beautiful 10 month old rat... i feed him nutriphase, is that a good food besides a block? It has pellets and fruit chips, peanuts, corn, and some sunflower seeds in it... also i give him yogurt dips and almond slivers for treat, those are fine right? Also... this doesn't happen anymore but when i first got hyim and for a couple months after there was the reddish crust/discharge around his eyes... what is that? Like i said it doesn't happen anymore but i am very curious. Sorry but one more question... he keeps getting bloody noses maybe once a week... could that be from knawing on his "snack shack" house and bumping his nose or is it usually something more serious?
i have 2 pet rats and they r great
will they take drinking yougort because that's all we got
i was just wondering at what age can you train rats or do you have to train them i just bought mine yesterday and they said he was around 5 to 6 mnths old is that good..and is fiesta max a seed mix would you call it that?
i was just wondering how you would train a pet rat how to use a litter box?

Journalists are being targeted by corrupt officials and those engaged in organised crime, a recent phenomenon that the United Nations (UN) has identified and is ready to fight.
By Joyce Namutebi
Journalists are being targeted by corrupt officials and those engaged in organised crime, a recent phenomenon that the United Nations (UN) has identified and is ready to fight.
The matter came to light during a UN Inter-Agency meeting on safety of journalists in Vienna, Austria from November 22 to 23.
Buikwe North MP Onyango Kakoba, who attended the meeting in his capacity as chairperson of the committee on justice and human rights in the Pan African Parliament, said the meeting was concerned about the increasing harassment of journalists worldwide.
The purpose of the meeting, he said, was to ensure that mechanisms are put in place to protect journalists while they execute their duties.
By October, 129 journalists had been killed in the course of their duties, 32 of whom were in Syria and 18 in Somalia, he said. The death is almost double that of last year where 67 journalists were killed.
In 2007, 87 journalists were killed while in 2006, 84 suffered the same fate.
"Most killings have been happening in situations of armed conflict. Now, journalists are being targeted by people involved in corruption, and organised crime such as drug traffickers," Kakoba said.
He revealed that they identified five countries namely Iraq, Nepal, Pakistan, South Sudan and another country that will be identified from Latin America for a project on protecting journalists.
The participants also agreed that once crimes against freedom of expression are upgraded to crimes against humanity, offenders would be taken to the International Criminal Court (ICC).

The CDC released new data today on home births in the U.S., finding that "the percentage of U.S. births that occurred at home increased by 29%, from 0.56% of births in 2004 to 0.72% in 2009." This increase mostly represents non-Hispanic white women.
The report says "Women may prefer a home birth over a hospital birth for a variety of reasons, including a desire for a low-intervention birth in a familiar environment surrounded by family and friends, and cultural or religious concerns."
We don't know how many Pagans choose home birth, but we do know that Pagans are highly likely to prefer unmedicated births attended by midwives.
Depending on where you live, you may be able to get that kind of birth at a birth center or a hospital, but it is certainly the norm for home births.
According to the CDC report, "In 2009, 62% of home births were attended by midwives: 19% by certified nurse midwives and 43% by other midwives (such as certified professional midwives or direct-entry midwives). Among hospital births, only 7% were attended by midwives."
Did you plan a home birth? Was it motivated by Paganism or did you have other reasons?

Jim and Karen's trip to Greece
Byzantine Museum
Apr 12, 2010
typical Greek filling station
ancient dishes
Show all 4 photos
We headed out this morning with raincoats in tow as the sky looked very gray. Fortunately we planned to go to the Byzantine Museum so rain won't make a difference. It took us awhile to find the museum but thanks to some very nice people we finally made it. The museum is a very contemporary building housing ancient jewelry, coins, pottery, icons, tombs, clerical garments, parts of a town, sewing supplies, cooking utensils and Bibles. It is quite an impressive display. How these items have survived all these years is beyond our imagination. The mosaic work ranged from very fine to quite rough, all beautiful in its own way. The craftmanship 2000 years ago is incredible when you consider the tools they had to work with. Much of the pottery would be perfect in contemporary homes today.
By the time we finished at the museum it was time for Greek dinner (around 3:00). We headed toward the waterfront and found a spot that looked nice. We both ordered salads and were informed that they couldn't serve just salad so we continued our hunt for a place to eat. We are amazed at the number of places that just serve coffee and drinks. Finally we found a spot with an extensive menu and was right along the water. We ordered a bacon and cheese pizza and were surprised to see strips of something that looked like strips of ham! It was very good but didn't taste like the bacon we know.
Thessaloniki certainly follows the Greek tradition of shutting down for "dinner" between 3:00 and 6:00, except for cafes and restaurants. After a short rest we headed out to the open air market only to find it was closed for the day. As we have walked around the town, we found ruins in between buildings unlike the other cities where the ruins are in a designated spot. It seems that here when a building is in disrepair, it comes down and an archeological dig begins.
We are spending the evening writing our thoughts and hopefully uploading some more pictures to this site. It will be an early night as we are heading out early tomorrow for Veria.

Project Description
Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) offers more than public transportation for millions of residents in the Greater San Francisco area. BART also leases space on their right-of-way for cell phone towers and fiber-optic cable, and were seeking a way to manage the sales and renewal processes of this land usage, in addition to managing contract expirations.
P.S developed a solution that enabled a transition from a legacy system in an efficient & effective way. Migrating the Customer Service team away from a homegrown system to the Service Cloud provided numerous benefits.
- Successful launch facilitated by Change Management and Training Services
- Existing processes were not hindered by transition
- Automated reporting gave 360 view into case loads and management visibility in customer service
- Streamlined case escalations & workflows to ensure best customer service
- Allowed access to 20yrs of legacy case and customer data

Sunday: Building alternative worlds, William Gibson and 'The Lady in Gold'
Call them Philip K. Dick's "Lessons on Building a Believable Universe." That's what Times Book Critic David Ulin uses as a reference in creating the framework for his review of Matt Ruff's "The Mirage," a novel that turns the tables on 9/11. In Ruff's alternative universe, 9/11 is actually 11/9 and the war on terror takes place in a fundamentalist America. Planes are still going into buildings, but they are piloted by Christian terrorists and the structures they are headed for are in downtown Baghdad and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. And, of course, there is a fourth plane that crashes after its passengers attempt to retake it from the hijackers. Sound familiar? Ulin writes that this is a "terrific setup, using fiction to take events and tweak them, albeit recognizably." Read Ulin's review to see if this works with Dick's thoughts on building a believable universe. The review of "The Mirage" leads our Sunday Arts & Books coverage.
Margaret Wappler reviews Canadian cyberpunk soothsayer William Gibson's "Distrust That Particular Flavor," which brings together some of his writings from Wired, Rolling Stone and Time Asia. Wappler writes that Gibson's prose "crackles to life when he writes about Singapore and Japan in the '90s and early '00s." Wappler notes how Gibson, better known for his futuristic novels, explains in his introduction that "nonfiction feels like trying to play the African thumb piano, an instrument he scarcely knows." But the collection, nonetheless, is engaging and revelatory.
Revelatory, as well, is Claremont-McKenna professor Frederick Lynch's review of Charles Murray's "Coming Apart: The State of White America: 1960-2010," in which Murray, whom Lynch says "made the Politically Incorrect Ten Most Wanted List 18 years ago when he co-wrote 'The Bell Curve,' provides a data-driven argument for inequality's cultural and sociological roots [and] arrives just in time for the central political and policy debate of the 2012 elections."
That debate, of course, concerns the widening income gap in America.
More of Sunday's pages after the jump.
The debate over ownership of Gustav Klimt's painting "The Lady in Gold" is now long over. But for a time, it made headlines here in Los Angeles and around the world as Maria Altmann, whose family owned the painting before Hitler marched into Vienna, tried to regain the work from the Austrian government. Anne Marie-O'Connor, then a reporter for The Times, reported on the case for the paper. Her book "The Lady in Gold: the Extraordinary Tale of Gustav Klimt's Masterpiece, "Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer" is reviewed by Suzanne Muchnic, a former arts writer for the paper.
Richard Mason's novel "History of a Pleasure Seeker" comes at the right time for those glued to the PBS series "Downton Abbey." Carolyn Kellogg writes that Mason's story follows ambitious Piet Barol, who arrives in Amsterdam in 1907 with a university degree and few prospects. His one hope is to be hired as an academic and musical tutor to a wealthy family. He lands a job and that's where the tale takes off. Kellogg notes that while the premise may "sound like bodice-ripping folderol...in Mason's hands the material is transformed."
Susan Carpenter looks at "Beneath a Meth Moon," the latest teen novel by National Book Award honoree Jacqueline Woodson which fuses "the devastation of Hurricane Katrina with a 15-year-old's meth addiction." Carpenter notes that linking such concepts "could easily be dismissed as sensationalism, but Woodson handles each aspect of her story with compassion and lyricism."
And, of course, we have our weekly best-sellers lists with some new entries including Susan Cain's interesting "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking," which comes in at No. 10 on the nonfiction list; and Robert Crais' "Taken," at No. 1 on the fiction list.
Still catching up from the week? If you practice yoga you will be interested in Times staffer Connie Stewart's review of William Broad's "The Science of Yoga: The Risk and Rewards." Her review -- she's also a practitioner -- and Broad's book will give you something new to think about when you attempt to do a head stand. Nick Owchar looks at the brain, creativity and one man's quest to rock out in "Guitar Zero: The New Musician and the Science of Learning."
Also this week: Our main Jacket Copy host, staff writer Carolyn Kellogg, talked to antiquarian book dealers about the market for the works of Charles Dickens, whose 200th birthday was Tuesday. And the book market, as you might well imagine, is booming for Dickens' work as it is for the works of other major writers.
If you're inclined toward book collecting, the 45th Annual California International Antiquarian Book Fair is going on this weekend at the Pasadena Convention Center. To find out more about what they have in store for all the bibliophiles out there, here's their website: http://www.labookfair.com/
As always, thanks for reading,

Going for gridiron glory: Seven mobile football games reviewed
Today's Best Tech Deals
Picked by PCWorld's Editors
Top Deals On Great Products
Picked by Techconnect's Editors
Hothead Games Big Win Football
Big Toe Productions Pocket Passer QB
Wanaka Mobile Running Back Challenge - Beat the Super Football Linebacker
EA Games Madden NFL 13 Social
Gameloft NFL Pro 2013
Lifted App Design Football Bowl Final Series
Full Fat NFL Quarterback 13
Few of us will enjoy the Super Bowl this year, since the Philadelphia Eagles aren't playing it. Still, we can't allow our sour grapes regarding Andy Reid's unpleasant swan song in Philadelphia to taint our enjoyment of all things football. And thankfully, your mobile device offers plenty of gaming options to get your pigskin fix, whether it's in preparation for Sunday's Eagles-less Big Game or to stave off the misery of a football-free offseason.
Football fun comes in various forms for touch screen-based gaming. There are true football simulators that aim to recreate the action of the game as much as is possible with entirely finger-based controls, and there are more arcade-style games that instead choose to focus on a singular element of the game: running back jukes or field goal kicking, for example.
We've looked at football-related iOS games before, including the long-in-the-tooth but still enjoyable Super Shock Football HD, a pair of field-goal focused apps, and the delightful running and tackling-focused Backbreaker Football 2. But here's a fresh look at some other football titles available from most mobile app emporiums of your choosing.
Big Win Football
That's pretty much all I need to say about Big Win Football, a free game for iPhone, iPad, and Android devices from Hothead Games. While the game gets great reviews in the iOS App Store and Google Play, it lacks everything that makes football fun.
Big Win is essentially fantasy football, only instead of using real players, all you get are fake character stats. You have a certain amount of points that you can allot to players and your team at large to grant them different skills, and then you play against an online opponent. Except, you don't really play against an online opponent: You watch as your game gets simulated for you.
You can—and will—skip to the end of the game, especially when you see the thrilling outcomes like two consecutive 3-3 overtime ties my Fighting Touches played to. Though you can earn coins for more cards that can improve your team, Big Win Football frequently nudges you to instead spend real cash to do so. It's a role-playing game with football as its backdrop, but watching a computer play a football game against itself is just not the kind of fun I'm after.
Pocket Passer QB
Available for the iPhone in both free (ad-supported) and $1 versions (with more game modes), Pocket Passer QB focuses just on the aerial game. You control the quarterback, and your aim is to complete as many accurate passes as you can to your receivers, in one of several modes.
Whichever version you play, the game's mechanic remains consistent: Swipe on the ball to throw a pass. You swipe quickly for a bullet pass, and slowly for a lob. Your swipe's direction and aim determine where the ball will go, and you need to aim differently for a lobbed pass to float into position than you do for a fast-fired bullet pass.
The game is flawed: Sometimes, it seems a little slow to respond to swipes, sometimes the menus ignore your first half-dozen taps, and it's not optimized for the iPhone 5's larger screen. All that said, it's mighty fun anyway. It's one of those addictive casual games where you steadily improve over time, and where tiny mistakes you make in one round motivate you to play again right away in hopes of doing better.
NFL Quarterback 13
Like Pocket Passer QB, NFL Quarterback 13—available in Google Play and as a universal iOS app in the App Store, focuses on the passing game. But this $2 offering is substantially different from Pocket Passer.
Both are casual games. But NFL Quarterback 13 eschews Pocket Passer QB's more casual look, instead employing far more detailed graphics and pseudo three dimensionality, with realistically rendered players and turf.
In each of the game's different modes, the gist is the same: You flick the ball toward the open receiver. Various power-ups let you do things like slow down time, give your receivers a boost at getting open, or sprinkle some magic on the ball that makes it more likely to reach the receivers you aimed for.
The detailed graphics come with a cost: The game is packed with loading screens, and occasionally the controls seem unresponsive on both the iPhone 5 and the iPad mini I tested with. It's as if the game is so busy rendering the lovely imagery, it forgets to detect that you're swiping on the ball.
Still, NFL Quarterback 13 is fun, if not quite as enjoyable as Pocket Passer QB. And though the game is filled with in-app currency and in-app purchases, I found that I was able to enjoy NFL Quarterback 13 and continue unlocking modes without needing to pony up extra real-world cash.
Running Back Challenge
A $1 game from Bluecloud with a free, ad-supported version, Running Back Challenge — Beat The Super Football Linebacker works on the iPhone and iPad alike. Its gameplay sounds reminiscent of Backbreaker: You control the running back, and you try to score without an aggressive linebacker breaking your stride.
In reality, the game is considerably more ridiculous than that description may imply. It's closer to Doodle Jump than a football game: You use the four buttons across the bottom of the screen to move your player left or right; the buttons closer to the screen's edges move you a bit faster and further than the inner controls. As the screen scrolls endlessly, you navigate your guy to avoid all the obstacles in his path. Along the way, you'll try to pick up some power-ups (to blow up the visible defenders, gain Pac-Man-style invincibility for a moment, and so on), with the ultimate goal being to see how many kilometers—that's right, metric system fans—you can run before you're stopped. Even the Canadian Football League uses yards, fellas.
My bosses will reimburse me the dollar I spent to get Running Back Challenge for this review, and yet I will still feel ripped off.
Football Bowl Final Series
Another universal iOS game, Football Bowl Final Series is a free download from the App Store. And its gameplay is an awful lot like Running Back Challenge's: You control the player with the ball, and you run as far as you can while avoiding everyone else.
It improves upon Running Back Challenge with miles better graphics and way better controls: You tap and drag on the screen to maneuver your player through the many defenders, and try to pick up the discarded cans of energy drink and the footballs scattered around the virtual field.
In the end, it's the same dopey non-football approach to football, but it's definitely a more fun take.
Madden NFL 13 Social
EA does an impressive job with its touch-based Madden football games. Madden NFL 13 Social for iPhone and iPad is a beautiful football game, with manageable touch controls, exquisite graphics, and satisfying gameplay. The challenge here is that, as in Big Win Football, the game constantly makes it quite clear that it wants you to pay real money to unlock features.
You can call two deep passing routes when you first launch the game. Want to call others? You need to unlock those plays by earning in-game currency. And—surprise!—you can unlock more virtual currency with in-app purchases.
Other weirdness with Madden NFL 13 Social: It's an offense-only game; when the other side has the ball, you can't see or control what's happening until your team regains possession. Fortunately, the game is very good at resuming where you left off if you need to quit at any point. That's extra useful, since the game is also really good at crashing, at least on my iPad mini.
Still, when you do have the ball, if you're patient enough—or well-heeled enough—to unlock more plays, Madden's very fun to play.
NFL Pro 2013
The folks at Gameloft put out a new NFL title each year. And they get to license the NFL team names just like EA—only Gameloft's deal doesn't include real players. So you control your favorite team, with a much of fake named players whose numbers are close to, but not the same as, your favorite players. It's available for iPhone and iPad along with Android.
Just like Madden NFL 13 Social, NFL Pro 2013 is free, with tons of in-game reasons to spend cash. Yes, you can earn coinage in the game, but you have to spend it on nearly everything. It costs coins to play a game, to choose certain stadiums, and to pick categories of plays. I could choose only short passes or runs up the middle on offense, until I paid some coins to unlock wide runs and deep passes—for that game only.
More offensive than the endless nickel-and-diming—however appropriate that might be for a football game—were the too-frequent 30-second video ads that interrupt gameplay. I could find no way to disable those advertisements. They're awful.
Post-game analysis
Not every Super Bowl turns out to be a thriller. For every classic game that ends with the likes of Joe Montana or Eli Manning pulling out a last-second victory, there are dozens of blowouts, many of them involving Fran Tarkenton. So it is with mobile football games—a few gems tucked in among a gaggle of turkeys. If you're planning to spend the build-up to Super Sunday playing a little football on your mobile device, my advice is to check out either Pocket Passer QB or Madden NFL 13 Social. The other games feel more like super blahs.

text: Hybrid and plug-in vehicles have been plagued by poor battery performance in the past. The next-gen rides simply do not offer that much MPG improvement because of the lackluster batteries, but LG Chem and STMicroeclectronics are working on something new. By harnessing a more powerful and efficient battery management chip, they hope to improve lithium-ion batteries enough to deliver 1600V to electric motors. Who knows when this will hit the market — or if there will even still be a car market — but the battery development can only lead to bigger and better things. I, for one, would like a super long life battery for my MacBook. Dreams. We should all dream.

Mineapolis' powersport company Polaris Industries Inc. announced today the acquisition of A.M. Holding S.A.S., which operates under the name Aixam Mega S.A.S.
Axiam Mega, maker of small diesel- and electric-powered vehicles is a privately owned company based in Aix-les-Bains, France which manufactures and sells enclosed on-road quadricycles and light duty commercial vehicles in Europe.
Polaris said the acquisition of Aixam Mega will significantly strengthens the company's existing small vehicle portfolio, which includes GEM and Goupil vehicles, and enhances the profitability and growth potential of Polaris in the EMEA region.
"Aixam Mega is an excellent fit with Polaris and offers a unique opportunity for us to expand our small vehicle platform and accelerate international growth," said Scott Wine, Polaris Chairman and CEO. "We are committed to positioning Polaris as a global leader in the growing small vehicle market and this investment reaffirms Polaris' commitment to building a global business capable of delivering long-term, profitable growth. Consistent with our recently announced plan to build a new manufacturing facility in Opole, Poland, the Aixam Mega business acquisition is indicative of our confidence in EMEA to be a contributor to Polaris' pursuit of productivity, innovation and growth. "
Aixam Mega designs, manufactures and sells both passenger and light duty commercial quadricycles under the Aixam and Mega brands.
Aixam Mega's quadricycles are four-wheeled, on-road enclosed vehicles characterized by their light weight, low speed and ability, in many countries, to be operated without a full automobile driver's license.
Founded in 1983, the company has a history of strong financial performance and profitable growth, achieving approximately $110 (US) million in sales in 2012 through a distribution network of more than 400 European dealers.
The Aixam brand offers a range of diesel-fueled and electric passenger quadricycles including sedan, SUV and sport styles. The Mega brand offers electric and diesel-fueled light duty commercial vehicles.
"We're excited about today's announcement and the opportunity to work with a leading global company like Polaris," said Philippe Colançon, Aixam Mega business unit president. "Joining Polaris provides us with technology, expertise and resources to make continued investments in our business, while accelerating profitable growth through new customer opportunities. We look forward not only to what we can learn from Polaris, but what we can contribute to Polaris through our expertise and experience."
Polaris also said it continues to invest in the global on-road small electric/hybrid powered vehicle industry with Global Electric Motorcars (GEM), Goupil Industrie SA, and internally developed vehicles.

Here is my new short documentary – Dave Barclay. Do or do not. There is not try. More details about its creation in an earlier post.
Hello Jamie
I wish to ask whether you have considered having 'premium' content on your site viewable on a pay-per-view basis?
Perhaps as well as your YouTube videos you could charge say £0.20 per time to view exclusive content?
My reason for asking is that I've been in the process of scoping the possibilities for developing a pay-per-view system specifically for bloggers.
For the last few nights I've been watching your documentaries and then it occurred to me to ask you the question.
Of course I see you're seeking support via Patreon; and figure there are issues with copyright and fair usage.
I look forward to your response.
Kind regards
JJ Rathour
Hi Jamie –
just wanted to thank you for all of your wonderful filmumentaries! They're simply fantastic! Keep on the great work!
Hi Jamie,
thx a lot for your fantastic work!
have you planned to give english subtitles to these amazing fulmumentaries,
to make it easier comprehensive for non native english speaker?

Fiordland aircraft impact study in need of a research programme
Photo: The Ngapunatoru Plateau. By Derek Grzlewski
NZAC is calling on the Department of Conservation to come clean on its decision to allow an 8-fold increase in aircraft landings in a remote part of Fiordland National Park on the grounds of it being a 'trial'. Federated Mountain Clubs (FMC) and NZAC recently issued the following statement on this issue:
FMC and the New Zealand Alpine Club (the largest member club of FMC) state that they remain deeply disappointed in the Department of Conservation's performance and communication over the so-called 'trial' of increased landings on the Ngapunatoru Ice Plateau, in the Darran Mountains, near Mt Tutuko and Milford Sound. Two recent Official Information Act requests, along with previous communication and other requests have confirmed the following:
- The set of rules for Fiordland – the current Fiordland National Park Management Plan – authorises up to 10 landings on the Ngapunatoru Plateau per day.
- Because the aircraft provisions of the management plan have never been enacted by the Department of Conservation, there are between 20-30 landings per day on the Plateau at the height of summer.
- As part of the so-called trial, DOC has increased the number of allowable landings to 80 per day, distributed amongst 8 existing operators. This 'trial' is for 2/3 years.
- This trial was approved and authorised behind closed-doors, without fair public process. FMC believes that this decision was unlawful and unfair, and will ask the Ombudsman to investigate.
- Further discussions with the Department of Conservation have revealed a chain of miscommunication and 'siloed' decision-making. A reason cited for the trial and the closed-door decision was the need for a fast decision. However, at the time of writing, it is still not even clear if the concessions to authorise the new level of landings have even been approved, some eight months on.
- Furthermore, there is no clear research programme that meets any reasonable definition of "research". GPS monitoring is now a mandatory requirement of the concessions, after hard questioning from FMC earlier revealed that it wasn't, but there are no other aspects to the programme that constitute 'research', such as determining base-line conditions or peer review.
- An Ombudsman ruling would give an independent report of the fairness and lawfulness of DOC's actions. In a previous ruling, the Ombudsman described a similar DOC decision-making processes as "nonsense on stilts". FMC and NZAC believe that this is similar nonsense.
In the interests of transparency, NZAC is asking DOC to make the following information available to all stakeholders immediately:
– the scope and purpose of the trial
– the measurements that will be taken, at which locations, and by whom
– details of the methods to be used
– the expected application of the results, especially in relation to the management of National Parks
– an analysis of how the recently permitted increases in landings on Ngapunatoro Plateau are being used to inform the trial
– progress with an integrated policy on air access in National Parks
The Ngapunatoru Plateau is located in the Darrans Remote Setting in the plan. The current plan states that that this Setting will be managed primarily for the remote climbing opportunities it provides and to protect its remote rock climbing and alpine climbing opportunities, quiet atmosphere and wilderness characteristics.

Makes me ask the question as to why we are told there "is no cure" and we are "working on a cure" when clearly this Patent shows that a cure exists and is sitting around doing nothing whilst Pharmaceutical companies take all your $$$ to pay for Aids Antiretroviral Medications.
Method of curing AIDS with tetrasilver tetroxide molecular crystal devices- As per the US Patent Office. Patent #5676977
"The diamagnetic semiconducting molecular crystal tetrasilver tetroxide (Ag.sub.4 O.sub.4) is utilized for destroying the AIDS virus, destroying AIDS synergistic pathogens and immunity suppressing moieties (ISM) in humans. A single intravenous injection of the devices is all that is required for efficacy at levels of about 40 PPM of human blood. The device molecular crystal contains two mono and two trivalent silver ions capable of "firing" electrons capable of electrocuting the AIDS virus, pathogens and ISM. When administered into the bloodstream, the device electrons will be triggered by pathogens, a proliferating virus and ISM, and when fired will simultaneously trigger a redox chelation mechanism resulting in divalent silver moieties which chelate and bind active sites of the entities destroying them. The devices are completely non-toxic. However, they put stress on the liver causing hepatomegaly, but there is no loss of liver function."

Carnival Over Kamskiye Polyany
As common throughout many of my photographs: a carnival. I just love them. Perhaps one day I will run away with one despite people telling me it is not as romantic as it sounds.
Recently, I have been in Kamskiye Polyany, a town of 18,000, built for 140,000. There are many empty apartments, empty booths at the market, and just a strange feeling as you walk down the street. The industry is non-existent. The people of Kamskiye Polyany tried to create a casino industry over the last few years, only to be shut down by the government. Needless to say, it sounds like a pretty grim situation. But don't worry, they have a carnival. Although money is hard to come by at times, they still have a small place for entertainment on the outskirts of town complete with a zoo full of lions and bears.

If you have read any of this years blog posts or online news sites that cover the online business and internet marketing arena, you'll probably have heard a lot of talk about recent Google updates such as Penguin and Panda supposedly wiping out the ranking of websites that have their pages optimized to display highly in Google, not to mention the more recent "not provided" fiasco where Google are withholding details of where visitors to your site came from, even in Google Analytics itself.
Much of what has been written about the Panda and Penguin updates is simply hearsay (although "not provided" is very real), since Google actually keep the algorithms they use to rank websites in their search index very securely under wraps, so apart from the Google insiders no-one will be able to tell you exactly what changed in the Penguin and Panda updates. However what is known is that Google want to show valuable and relevant content to the users of their search engine, so they will always want to show the most relevant content with genuine value first, so if anyone has been hit by the Penguin and Panda updates it's websites that Google term 'Search Spam'. These sites attempt to game the Google system, but it's no way to run a long term profitable internet business.
The most sensible thing you can say about the Google updates is that if you are relying solely on one form of promotion (i.e. S.E.O.) to drive traffic to a website, then that's a shaky foundation for your business. You should never put all your marketing and promotion eggs in one basket, but so many small businesses do put a disproportionate budget into S.E.O .
The drivers of traffic to your website should be spread across a number of mediums not just Google. That way any changes that take place in one area of your marketing strategy will not unduly affect your whole business. If an offline business only took out one advert in a single magazine and relied on that solely for their revenue, should the magazine go out of business, it takes away all your business too. It's crazy that in the online world so many people focus on Google as the only way to promote their business, and spend so much of their marketing budget and time on S.E.O. Search Engine Optimization should be part of your overall marketing and the bigger promotional picture, it's a dangerous strategy to rely on it as your only promotion source.
If your product really provides massive value to it's customers, and you genuinely offer valuable information on a regular basis to your website visitors, that is the most secure way of marketing through the internet to your customers to ensure they find you in the first place and then keep coming back time and time again.
More importantly the difference with the provision of value strategy over the futile race to keep up with Google updates is this; The ability to provide real genuine value to your customers is completely in your control, and the only one has any influence over whether this changes or not is you.

Because of its fast pace, affiliate promotion can be a great opportunity to make money. Affiliate programs have been generating revenue for webmasters for a good number of years. You will find that there is a plethora of online marketing out there because of how fast it has developed and how long it has been around. No matter what stage of affiliate marketing you are in, this article provides helpful information to help with your success.
You nor anyone associated with you should take advantage of the process. It can be extremely annoying to your visitors. It could also sever your tracking progress and perhaps give continue users viruses.
When you are looking into online marketing programs, ask what the company does to track orders that aren't placed with their website. Sales completed by phone or postal service should be connected to your affiliate number, to ensure you are paid for them.
Look for affiliates that can further your business plan not only as partners but also as providers. You can diversify your income sources if you connect with a wide range of networks. Don't sign up with any old affiliate. It is important that you do research and select a quality affiliate that you're comfortable to be working with.
A lot of affiliate marketers get instructions via email, but then keep going back to check them over and over. You will speed up your work by extracting important affiliate info from emails and saving them into one word processing document. Save time by referring to your document.
Text alerts are an increasingly popular way for affiliates to get the word out. This is a fairly new service, but many affiliates are using it to help promote products and keep their customer base informed of any new offers.
An affiliate marketer should be honest about the business he is engaged in. Inform them about your affiliations and give them some idea of the purpose of your website. When you are truthful with your customers about affiliates they veterans will be more apt to visit.
Choose affiliates that are supportive with resources to help you sell. These companies are in it to make profit just like you are. These companies research what specific marketing tool will surely convert customers. The more established companies share this information with affiliates so they can personalize their campaigns for better sales and commissions.
Actual statistics will really help you understand your position. These statistics show you the number of visitors that have passed through your site, and the number of people who have made purchases.
Consider placing a trivia question within a banner, they will have to click and visit to answer it. Curious users cannot resist clicking on the banner. Make the deal even more tempting by providing discounts to the visitors who answer the question correctly.
Do not depend on just a few affiliates to keep going. Use diversity in what you offer and who you work with. This diversity of affiliate products will also protect you from losses or even failure. If you lose one affiliate, you have others to draw on. If you're not promoting as many items as you can handle, find a few more.
Try pop-under advertisements instead of pop-ups. Since many browsers block these pop-up ads, your readers never get the chance to see them. Studies show that the type of pop-under ads loading inconspicuously while viewers read your content achieve much higher response rates than the pop-up ads.
Online email marketing marketing can be a lucrative venture. In order to take advantage of web marketing and start bringing in profits, you will have to learn the strategies involved.

Pizza Hut Canada, in collaboration with advertising agency Grip Limited, have managed to ensnare Facebook fans' attention with their Pizza Hut Perfume. The limited edition product was originally a Facebook post to interact with fans by asking for the name for an "imaginary scent inspired by the smell of a box of Pizza Hut pizza being opened." But much like Torani and their Chicken 'n Waffle prank, the audience's response was largely enthusiastic.
The brand then used this to help commemorate Pizza Hut Canada reaching 100,000 fans on Facebook, and announced the first 100 people to message them would receive a bottle of the scent in December.
There are currently no plans though to distribute or sell the perfume.

My group of friends (4 adults) checked out ClockLocked's Dexter room in January 2015. This was our second time to ClockLocked, after having previously tried their Da Vinci room (and it was our sixth escape room in Sydney over all so far).
The atmosphere there is great. You sit in a waiting room with a few puzzles around you and you are given a briefing by the lovely Dory. We spent much of our time in the waiting room looking for our photo on the wall from our last adventure at ClockLocked.
They currently have two rooms, Da Vinci and Dexter. They have a third room, 'Cleopatra' which will open at the end of January 2015. We were able to sneak our heads inside the Cleopatra room and it looks awesome!
First off, I'll say what I enjoyed most about Dexter at ClockLocked:
- the quality of the puzzles was great. Some of them were really creative and were unlike any others we had seen before in any escape room outfit;
- the puzzles were a good level of difficulty (not too hard and not too easy). We managed to escape with 20 minutes left on the clock (I found Dexter easier than Da Vinci, but that being said we are now much more experienced with escape rooms than we were when we did Da Vinci);
- as with Da Vinci, the theming was excellent. The sounds/music, props, etc perfectly matched the theme;
- the puzzles all worked without any issues this time (see my earlier review where I noted that we had some issues with one of the puzzles in Da Vinci). I also liked that after we had given feedback in Da Vinci that it would be good if they warned us that their safes block you for 5 minutes if you enter a code incorrectly 3 times, they now have a little warning sign on their safes to this effect. They have also put a sign in the window downstairs, which makes it easier to find them; and
- Dory was lovely and clearly very passionate about ClockLocked!
As for the negatives with Dexter at ClockLocked, it was all very well done and the only comments that I have are that:
All 4 people in our group really enjoyed ourselves in the Dexter room. We will certainly be back to try Cleopatra when it opens in a couple of weeks!
- I think that there could have been another puzzle or two to extend the fun (we finished the room with 20 minutes remaining and based on Tripadvisor I understand that most groups escape Dexter in time). That being said, I appreciate that it is hard to design a room to suit all groups;
- there is not much space in Dexter to move around without bumping into each other. We had a group of 4 people - I couldn't imagine doing this room with any more than 4 people; and
- others in my group didn't agree with me, but there was one aspect of Dexter that I was a little disappointed with. Unfortunately, in the interests of not spoiling Dexter for others, I can't say any more about this...
All 4 people in our group really enjoyed ourselves in the Dexter room. We will certainly be back to try Cleopatra when it opens in a couple of weeks!

Duration: 60 minutes
Themes: 2 themes (although a third "Cleopatra room opens late January 2015)
Cost: $30 each (4 players) (But watch out for coupons - we got 50% off )
