The death toll in the hospital has spiked over a span of five days. At least, 60 children have died, with media citing the lack of oxygen supplies as the reason for the fatalities.
Reports by the BRD Medical College showed that 34 babies died at the neo-natal intensive care unit, while 12 died because of encephalitis. The rest died of other unspecified causes.
Parents of at least 35 victims said that the oxygen supply to the children's ward ran out on the night the fatalities hit its peak.
Mritunjaya Singh, whose seven-month-old son survived the ordeal, expressed, "That's the time when the death of the children peaked."
Meanwhile, the uncle of an 11-year-old patient had not been as fortunate as Mritunjaya. Recalling the scene leading to the girl's death, the uncle expressed, "We didn't know what was happening at the time. The staff just told us to keep pressing [the artificial bags] after every count until three. We kept doing that for some time."
Parmatma Gautam, whose one-month-old nephew Roshan died in the tragedy, claimed the hospital and authorities were trying to cover up their problem of "unpaid bills".
"We saw our baby struggling to breathe and we couldn't do anything," recalled Mr Gautam.
Hospital and state officials dismissed oxygen shortage as cause of tragedy
According to local media reports, a private supplier had withdrawn its equipment over outstanding hospital bills, and some of the death could be attributed to the oxygen disruption.
District official Anil Kumar did not deny the payment issue; but said the deaths could have been caused by "natural" causes as many patients were admitted in a "serious" condition.
The region, one the poorest in India, records hundreds of deaths of children due to diseases, including encephalitis, every year. Outbreaks of encephalitis are rampant every year in India, claiming lives especially during the monsoon season.
The hospital's chief medical superintendent Dr R.S. Shukla dismissed the allegation that the deaths were caused by the oxygen shortage.
District Magistrate Rajiv Rautela believed that the children in the Uttar Pradesh state had died of 'natural causes', denying that oxygen shortage was the cause.
Supporting Rautela's view, Kafeel Khan – a hospital doctor – said the cause of death "could not be linked with the lack of oxygen."
State Health Minister Sidharth Nath Singh also rejected the alleged cause was due to lack of oxygen, mentioning that the average daily death toll for the month of August at the hospital was between 19 and 22 in the last three years. It was not clear if this had specific reference to cases among children.
"There was no shortage of oxygen in the hospital. For two hours, there was shortage of emergency cylinders, during which manual resuscitation procedure was carried out," he remarked.
Investigations have been carried out by the Uttar Pradesh's government and a team of federal health ministry specialists has been sent to the hospital to investigate the cause.
Prashant Trivedi, the state's top health official, admitted there has been a problem in the pipeline which supplied oxygen.
In a statement released by the hospital, it was mentioned that there had been a "drop in pressure in the supply of liquid oxygen" on Thursday – but added cylinders were procured from various other suppliers. It did not specify whether that had resulted in any deaths.
Fatalities sparked outrage among opposition leaders
Opposition leaders have been criticised for capitalising on the situation to blame trying to achieve their political agenda by pointing at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of "neglect and indifference."
Relaying his take on the matter, via a tweet, opposition Congress Party's Rahul Gandhi expressed that he was "deeply pained. My thoughts are with the families of the victims. BJP government is responsible (and) should punish the negligent who caused this tragedy."
"The current government is responsible for the deaths of children in Gorakhpur due to the lack of oxygen. Strict action should be taken," tweeted former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav.
India's public health funding, taking up one percent of its GDP, has been among the lowest in the world. Along with this are the teething problems of shortage of doctors and dilapidated infrastructure.
In recent years, there has been a move by Modi's government to allocate a bigger budget to health, with promises of a more affordable and accessible healthcare system. MIMS

My MIL is diabetic. She uses medication as well as diet to control her sugar level. She tests her blood sugar everyday, sometimes a few times a day, depending what she has eaten. She is very fond of sweet candies and chocolates. Sometimes she can't control herself and steal a chocolate or two. But luckily, it will not increase her blood sugar level that much.
Recently, she found out one of her nephew in Macau has been diagnosed with diabetes too and needed to check his blood sugar daily. She bought a meter kit with several boxes of Freestyle Test Strips and mailed back to her nephew. These items are very expensive in Macau and sometimes they are very difficult to find. May be I can let him know to buy diabetic supplies online, hopefully they do ship to Macau.

Being super early in the morning the party elects to camp out in the Ravens camp for the remainder of the night. Massar keeps watch while the others use the tents to stay out of the rain. Just before dawn the half-elf notices movement out at the edge of the clearing and wakes the others. Waiting long enough to get armed and armoured they venture out to the location but find nothing but a depression in the wet grass.
Examining it Massar can tell that someone was lying there watching them and that they must have snuck off while the party prepped. Everyone agrees that it would be a good idea to just take off now that dawn is breaking since there's no telling where the surviving brigands could be.
As they take down the tents and load the cargo into the wagon they realize that none of them have any idea how to actually drive a wagon like this (or even ride a horse at all!). They fumble their way through hooking up the horses and only manage that because Massar is able to use his Animal Empathy to keep the equines calm, and that the horses themselves are used to this.
Their lack of skill however does make the trip take considerably longer than it normally would. A trip like this should only take a few hours but it ends up taking them pretty much the whole day as they need to keep fixing the tack and harness, pushing the wagon out of holes they could have avoided and all variety of mishaps.
During this extended journey back to Frandor's Keep they come across a group of fellow travellers; a small party of five dwarven miners on their way to the Keep to buy supplies. Kythan offers to give the dwarves a lift in the wagon, and he and Zatha then offer them drinks from Dasas' remaining brandy kegs for 4 copper each. The dwarves avail themselves of this offer and there seems to be much merriment with Kythan and the dwarves riding in the wagon, Massar attempting to drive it and Barodin and Zatha walking along beside.
Barodin attempts to find out what the dwarves are doing but totally botches a Glean Information roll and one of the dwarves starts talking smack about him in dwarvish, which causes Barodin to intimidate him "You wanna say that to my face little man?" (getting a 141 to the dwarfs 65 Resist Persuasion). The dwarf apologizes and the tension is cut and the remainder of the trip is uneventful.
As usual it's evening when the party reaches the Outer Bailey of the keep. The dwarves dismount and thank them for the ride and head in ahead of the party.
They pull up the wagon and inform the guards this is Dasas' shipment and not theirs (so don't tax us bro!) and the guards send a runner to fetch the merchant.
They take their own personal loot off the wagon (and Barodin "checks" in one of the shields along with his sword with the guards before going in) and after a few minutes Dasas arrives and takes a look at it. He thanks the party and says he'll square up with them in the morning and he and a scribe head to the warehouse to catalog what he has.
So by now the group is trying to decide what to do about The Ravens. The guards won't let Massar into the keep without a bribe and Zatha refuses to spend any more coin on the elf. So they remain at the landing in front of the guards and blatantly start discussing the pros and cons of fighting the Ravens versus joining them.
Catching the guards listening to them doing so they move further away back to the stables where Massar has been staying to formulate their plans. Sadly this was pretty much all said over Mumble so there's no easy transcript to paste but the gist of this was that they'd have to go to Quarrytown and deal with the Ravens. Maybe join Rikar.
Zatha and Kythan seem keen to join the brigand band but Massar is having none of it, not only is robbing people bad but he's of the opinion that since they just killed a bunch of his men, he won't be looking to have a nice diplomatic discussion.
The actual quote was: "Wait, isn't he gonna run that shit right into our butts if we go in and talk to him?" lol
Anyways, to make a long story short the plan is that they are going to head to Quarrytown and offer to join the Ravens. This is all a ruse you see, because they will in fact be infiltrating the Ravens to gather intel to turn into the Earl at a later date and get rid of them. As an impartial observer I listened to them planning and really have no idea how they could possible think this would work haha. But stranger things have happened.
: we are all going to die
So finally after being told about this place ever since getting the Frandor's the party heads north to visit Quarrytown. It's almost nightfall and they're essentially moving with the "commute" as the throngs that hang out in front of the keep but aren't allowed in mostly live in Quarrytown.
They finally reach it and it is in fact a quarry; the quarry from which most of the stone to build the keep came from. Makeshift buildings and tents have been erected and it seems that there is an open air market when first arriving but everyone seems to be packing up at the this time of day.
Upon reaching the thieves market they note two individuals perched up a ramp watching them. One of them says something and leaves, heading further into Quarrytown while his fellow continues watching the party menacingly.
As they get closer the man asks what they want and Zatha says that they're here to see "the big guy" and Kythan tries to make everything nice and civil.
The Raven says he'll take them to see Rikar, and the boss has in fact been waiting for them. As he leads them further and further into Quarrytown he mentions that the boss will let anyone sleep here for only 2 copper, and you can sell anything you want in the market so long as The Ravens get a cut.
They find themselves outside a large merchants tent, flanked by another smaller fancier looking tent. The large one has the other man they spotted waiting and he tells them that Rikar will speak with whoever is their spokesman inside. So pick.
With some discussion of the possibility of it being a trap and some bamboozling Kythan and Zatha convince him to allow both of them in side halflings only count as a half. Barodin and Massar will remain outside. The guard opens the flap and they enter the darker tent interior.
Inside they can see a man with an immaculate goatee across from them who must be Rikar (constantly referred to as Riker by Zatha, sigh), flanked by six other brigands; all holding open weapons. Rikar is equipped with a shield as well.
Rikar informs them that they have negatively impacted his operation and they have one minute to give him a reason to now just have all four of them killed right now. They first tell him their wish to join up, which he is somewhat not buying.
Zatha: First, we didn't know about yah "organization" when we wah takin thah jab. Just tryin'a make some coin.
Kythan nods.
Zatha: Second, we ah obviously bettah than ya othah boys.
I think that wahants some considahation.
Kythan: It was a shame we had to murder those pathetic excuses for bandits to learn about this, but that is the way of the world.
Kythan: We're businessmen in the business of making gold.
Rikar: "Gold you say?"
Kythan: Gold, yes. I like the feel of it against my supple skin.
Zatha: You may have heahd of some of oah othah exploits. The gobbos from the manah outside ah town, and savin Vew.
Rikar: Your minute is up. If you are such great businessmen able to make gold then I'll let you cover my damages from this operation you disrupted and then we can talk. Pay me 10 gold now or it's your lives.
Kythan scoffs.
Kythan: Hardly. This is more like an investment. A small bit of pain now for a much greater payoff in the future.
We have access to the keep and have made friends in fairly high places.
We can do things none of your "crew" can.
Rikar: "I have agents in the keep already."
Zatha: Some information that yah boys don't know, about the eahl. We helped him out of a tight spot.
Meanwhile Massar and Barodin have been trying to chat up the two guards that were left outside the tent but haven't had any luck. Sadly they both fail in Observation rolls to notice something going on on one of the higher ledges… Barodin attempts to get a peek in the other tent but is stopped.
Back in the tent Rikar has been talking about how adventurer goodie too shoes don't fit in with The Ravens because they lack the will to do what's needed.
Zatha: Ah yah really gonna give up some well trained rahcruits ovah some brandy?
Would ya even talk tah us if'n we didn't show the skills?
Kythan looks as calm and nonplussed as if they were discussing the weather over tea.
Kythan just smiles slightly the whole time.
Kythan: Besides, do you really think we'd come in here like this without some kind of… insurance policy?
Kythan just continues to smile.
Rikar: "It's my experience that "adventurers" such as you don't have the stomach for this kind of work."
"Tell you what."
Kythan: OH
Kythan: Have you seen my ear sculpture work?
It's really quite exquisite.
Rikar: "You two serious about joining the Ravens?"
Zatha: Yah got a benefits leaflet?
Rikar: "I'll need some proof of your mettle."
Zatha: Yah dead men wasn't enough?
Kythan: We're obviously better than they are.
Any chumps can jump merchants and guards that don't expect it.
Rikar: "I think you may be too squeamish to do the job"
Zatha sighs and gestures to Kythan, knowing what will happen
Kythan: Let me show you squeamish on your friend behind me.
He looks particularly ripe.
Rikar: "No. Prove you're not squeamish by killing one of your friends outside. Preferably the elf."
Kythan sighs.
Kythan: But I've been putting in so much work on him.
((Barodin Blighthwood: he's like a pet to us))
Kythan winks at Zatha.
Zatha shrugs
Zatha: What's the point?
He's part of our gang. Yoah cuttin off oah hand befoah we even staht wahkin.
Kythan: I don't understand how removing assets is a sound business plan.*
I'm beginning to think this gent isn't on top of his game.
Rikar: "Then I suppose you've made your choice."
Zatha: You ahen't vahy fohwahd thinkin.
Rikar makes a signal and one of the men in the tent pulls a string that rings a bell outside the tent
- They may have been getting close to figuring something out about The Ravens. But, well, we may never know Wink
Meanwhile outside:
: I'm going to mosey on over to the other fancy tent and take a peek in.
Raven Thief to Barodin "Where do you think you're going?"
Barodin Blighthwood: No where boss
: walk up nice and close to one of the guards just holding my axe. not threatening but still in my hand.
: so how dose the guard take my getting close?
: not well, he says not to come any closer and brandishes his shortsword roughly in your direction
: Laugh at him…"Like that scares me little man."
Rikar makes a signal and one of the men in the tent pulls a string that rings a bell outside the tent
: I take that as a sign and but my axe in the guards head
And so it begins.
The first thing that happens is a LOT of people manage to roll 0 and 1 for initiative. Except for Barodin with a 12. But since Massar goes first he can shake the fighter.
[/quote] Massar Silverleaf slaps Barodin upside the head, "Get your finger out of your goddamn nose!" [/quote]
Four archers that had moved into position on a higher ledge all let loose at Massar, three of them hitting him but his Wrap of Protection absorbs a good amount of damage.
The two guards outside stab at Barodin with their shortswords, one hitting doing a fair amount of damage. This snaps him to even quicker than Massar shaking him and he retaliates, getting a critical hit in the thiefs shoulder doing 21 damage and knocking him back right through the flap into the tent!
Inside the tent Zatha and Kythan start moving towards Rikar and then thief from outside comes flying in but the other thieves that were blocking the exit from the inside were able to dodge aside. The thief bleeding from his shoulder is ToP'd and writhing around in pain.
Zatha rushes up to Rikar and stabs him with his dagger, attacking before the fighter is ready and getting around his shield and finding a weak spot in his armour. All told however the attack only does a single hit point of damage after armour damage reduction.
Rikar: "You will die for that."
Zatha: We wah dyin anyway! Might as well fuck yah up some!
And at that point Bilge had to go for the night so that's where we left off. The beginning of a combat that I'm not sure they can win. It's going to be a dramatic event either way. And Aceris (Zatha) and Selphius (Kythan) have already met to roll 2nd and 3rd characters "just in case" Wink

Heavy crowd, a lot of noise, shopping malls with no adequate parking space, an eternal traffic jam - These are the constant sights one would see there on a daily basis. I look around, to find an enormous shopping complex with all amenities in it. Just beside it, there is a multi-storeyed apartment, housing the "Brand Bangalore" ambassadors -the ITans.
This is the ambiance from which I start my walk of about ten minutes from my home to a friend's place. Then the song on my lips was "Boulevard of broken dreams", an all time favourite.
As I passed this mayhem, I reached a single crooked street which would end at my destination of that evening. The ambiance there was the most complete definition of something which would be called "utterly messy". The road there had just the slightest hint of surfacing. I observed a medical stores there, calling themselves, "Chemmists". As i smiled to myself and looked away, I confront this guy who is now almost a rogue. He used to play cricket in our team during school days. He looks at me and throws an artificial smile but I could sense his bitter feelings when I looked into his eyes. He always wanted to pursue his education after schooling, but he couldn't, due to few family issues. I think he gets reminiscent about all this when he sees me. After a formal talk with him, without disturbing him much I continued my walk.
As I transcend into that ill-shaped street, I notice the drainage system there was poorer than any of the primitive systems, with an open type system running along the street. That by itself could be a great source of epidemic. The houses standing there haphazardly were either ill planned or non- planned.
People walking on the streets, carried a complacent face, seemingly satisfied with the "almost nothing" they had. They were the people who were not aware of what they should actually crave for - Freedom from Ignorance. These people living a life of ignorance is like a proud blind man who can only traverse within his house and thinks that it is good enough.
I could see men who did nothing, but were just resting under the shade of trees. They were not resting just then, but it has been their routine for a few years now. A few people here categorize themselves into various groups, based on a number of criteria and are ever ready for a communal clash. But, there is harmony amongst the rest of them.
In my opinion, this place is a perfect miniaturization of India in all aspects.
Before the song on my lips could get over, I had reached the end of the street. A sharp turn, then my friend's place was there.
As I walked further, away from this alien, yet so Indian place, I see a totally contradicting scene. Tall apartments,with luxury flats, well surfaced roads, at least one car in front of every house, people who seemed to be in their own complex world, seemingly naive about the pathetic life going on in the neighboring street. I speculate that the average income of these people per day would equal or even exceed the entire month's income of their adjacent neighbors.
I ponder as to how a single street could just divide this group of Indians into people at the two extremes on the economic gauge of India. If this is the case with a small group of people, spread over about a square km area, then the situation on a wider scale with our nation in perspective would not be very different. And this requires serious attention from our side.
This type of diverging growth of India in two opposite directions will never make the 60 year old dream of India becoming a sovereign and developed country. This should be the concern of highest priority in the mind of every Indian citizen. We should work proactively in helping the country's economy to converge in a healthy manner.
All Indians should get the same opportunities to pursue their dreams. All Indians have equal rights to the resources of our lovely nation. Politics, ignorance, poverty, shouldn't be the setbacks for our fellow Indians to live respectfully, with total access to the same services, comforts and luxuries as the other class of Indians.
Let us not blame our forefathers for the present day. Let us work together proactivley and give a better future to our future generations.
PS: Verbatim copy of what I could call my first article written in September, 2007. This article was published in my College's Annual Souvenir, and I was also awarded that year's Best Article Prize for the same.
Talking about the disparity, I can tell you it has only worsened in the above mentioned place, as it has in the entire country!

Encourage employee socializing
The assumption underlying knowledge management efforts is that untapped power lies within an organization and needs only to be brought forth. But what if KM software, communities of practice and offsite team-building exercises are actually part of the problem? A forthcoming book on companies' social networks points out that collaboration has a cost, in the form of ever-more meetings and e-mails that serve to bog down employees rather than unleash them.

With the news that Ralphie is throwing his hat back into the ring (how many hats does this guy have and seriously how is he still alive- in Colombia they kill you for scoring an own goal) there is some good that came out of it at least.
It allows me to repeat a joke that I thought was hilarious from an old episode of NPR's This American Life.
Here's the set up: this female comic is, I think the only woman in this really tough and funny room of other comics just kinda shooting the shit and like the highest honor is to make the oher comics laugh, but she hasn't been able to get a word in edgewise.
One day while walking her dog she thinks of this perfect joke concerning Ralph Nader but it's like after 9/11 and so he's out of the news. A few years pass and she's still hanging and holding onto this perfect joke but there's not an appropriate or organic place to insert it, because y'know it will be funnier if it seems off the top of their head and done with perfect timing but finally Ralph Nader is brought up again in this comedic cipher and she sees her chance. The topic is Ralph Nader and his support for reinforced cockpit doors from long before 9/11
"You know, years before 9/11 Nader had been advocating for reinforced
cockpit doors. If he'd been elected the attack might not have
she steps in, finally
"Of course everyone probably would have been distracted by all
the flying pigs"
You can listen to the episode "It's Never Over" here- it's the last act and the comic is Tami Sagher- she tells it better than I.

I was tagged by Wil a couple of weeks back. Since I'm on the subject of books right now, here goes...
One book that changed your life: The Bible. It was one of the books most readily available when I was in grade school, plus the school give us a copy of the King James version (the small one) at least every year. It made me realize at an early age just how diverse people are (there's a page where the John 3:16 was translated in different languages. I would stare at it for quite some time and wonder how they can read the strange characters). The old testament was chock full of wonderful stories (Daniel, Job, Moses, Noah), and it was supplemented by Superbook and Flying House on TV! I'm not a regular church-goer, but I always strive to be fair in my dealings and not hurtful to my fellow humans and non-human alike.
One book you have read more than once: That would be C.S. Lewis' The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. I think I have already read it about 5 times. That's even before the movie came out. I first read this in grade school too. I reviewed the book before the movie and was pleased that the movie included memorable phrases from the book.
One book you would want on a desert (deserted?) island: Hmmm... The Swiss Family Robinson!
One book that made you laugh: Kwentong Tambay by Nicanor David
One book that made you cry: A little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. The Black Beauty comes a close second.
One book you wish had been written: A book with all possible origami figures in it at an affordable price!
One book you wish had never been written: Hmmm... when I sense that I won't like a book, I stop reading at chapter 1 so I don't think I can qualify a book here...
One book you are currently reading: Jack London's "Call of the Wild"
One book you have been meaning to read: Can't recall any for now.
Some links to the classics above contain the actual book, so you may want to read up and not spend a single cent at the bookstore.
I'm currently on "old school" mode, meaning I'm buying copies of the books I grew up with and re-reading them. So far I've read Heidi, A Little Princess, The Secret Garden, and all the Narnia Books. I still have quite a lot of classics to go through. I'm currently reading Call of the Wild. It's about a dog's life who's part wolf and his struggles with man and nature. There were numerous movie adaptations of this book but I haven't watched any. The author vividly describes the scenes, it's wonderful to imagine you're actually there when the wolves stalked the humans at the start, and the bustle of activity in the Indian campsites, and the hunt for meat in the wilderness.
Reading these books brings back fond childhood memories and the smell of libraries! If you're also fond of the classics, do recommend a book that I will read next!
And finally, here's a photo of my wife with guess who! This was taken during the first day of the Book Fair. He was promoting a book on Dianetics, a self-improvement guide. My wife bought a copy, and it's duly autographed. She was so delighted that she sang "Got to believe in magic! Tell me how two people find each other ... "
Whoops I almost forgot an important aspect of the tag... that is, to tag somebody else! Hmmm... I'd be interested to know what sort of books Philippines Phil and Mr. Abbey of Recycled Thoughts are into.

The Incredible Edible EGG???
It's been about 4ish years since I have taken the life path of a vegan. My intentions are to live a healthy life without harming ANY other beings that share this space with us. That seems like a noble, conscious, and loving thing to do. Come to find out I am seriously depleted in a few very important essential vitamins. NOT GOOD! so....here is my dilemma. How do i switch off my conscience so that I can create a healthy home for my future babies? How do I suddenly forget all of the documentaries and books that flood my shelves and mind? I don't think it is possible for me at this time to make such a switch. I knew I wasn't taking all of the supplements I should have been, but I was in no way a "junk food" vegan!
Needless to say, I am taking supplements......eating "responsible" eggs(arg) and soon will be getting b12 injections.
My md/chinese medicine gynecologist says to "eat meat once a week....thats all"......nope, not gonna happen.
I put my foot down for the sake of all the creatures I hold so dear to my heart. It's impossible for me to backtrack to a place where I can enjoy eating something that once had nursed it's own young.

We sure had a lot to put in the truck.....
... but so thankful for an awesome church family who helped us pack. We were done so early we didn't know what to do with ourselves.
After the good-byes were said, it was time to load up the truck and Explorer with the kids and dog. The kids were so excited when it was their turn to drive with Mark in the big truck.
Streak was my guide on the way down.
After 2 and 1/2 days we finally made it to Miami!
But then we had to unpack all that stuff from the truck!
Thankfully, Mj & Jadyn were able to go to the church's camp so I could get some unpacking done at home. They loved camp!!! Riding horses, archery, swimming, riding boats - what's not to love!
Mj helped us decide the colors for the boys room! Don't worry, the tape is off and we have a nice red stripe around the room now.
Gabe was excited to be back in his crib!
Jadyn is loving her pink bedroom!
Gabe decided to explore the dryer to make sure it worked!
It's definitely hot down here! But we find ways to stay cool!
The kids made their first phone call to their cousin Micah! We sure do miss our family!!!

Rumney youth had two games on the weekend the first game played against an Italian touring side, 80% of the side was made up of u16's player's which gave the youth coaches a chance to see what strength of players would be coming up to youth next year. They did not disappoint with a hard-fought game against a big Italian side, they all stepped up and played great with a few stand out performances and man of the match going to the youngest player on the park openside flanker Jacob Sutcliff who was outstanding and definitely one to watch for the future. The game was played in a great spirit and ended up with both side scoring one try each.
The second game seen Rumney youth play Llanishen in the quarter final of the blues cup which was very one-sided game with Rumney winning 53 to 0. Llanishen where a young side and should be proud off their performance as they did not give up and at times played some good rugby Showing they maybe a side to look out for next year.
Rumney Youth travel to Cardiff met on Friday 16th march which will be a tuff game a game Rumney need to win to stay top of the BA league table.

Legislation requiring employers to use the government's electronic employment eligibility verification program to ensure that their employees are authorized to work in the U.S. will soon be reintroduced. The E-Verify program, which allows employers to electronically check an employee's I-9 form against government records to confirm employment eligibility, is voluntary at the federal level, though some states require certain employers to use it.
The bill would phase-in E-Verify use in six-month increments beginning with the largest U.S. businesses and mandate that all employers use the system within two years of enactment.
The legislation raises penalties for employers who don't comply with E-Verify requirements, allows employers to use E-Verify prior to hiring an applicant, provides a safe harbor for employers who use the system in good faith and seeks to combat identity theft by requiring agencies to "lock" Social Security numbers suspected of being compromised and notify applicants of any "unusual multiple use."

Social Media Marketing
Social Media MarketingDecember 10, 2014 No Comments on Social Media Marketing
Social media marketing is the process of gaining website traffic or attention through social media sites. Social media marketing programs usually center on efforts to create content that attracts attention and encourages readers to share it across their social networks. The resulting electronic word of mouth refers to any statement consumers share via the Internet about an event, product, service, brand or company. When the underlying message spreads from user to user and presumably resonates because it appears to come from a trusted, third-party source, as opposed to the brand or company itself, this form of marketing results in earned media rather than paid media.
Social media can be a useful source of market information. Blogs, content communities and forums are common nowadays where individuals share their reviews and recommendations of brands, products and services. As a result, social media has become an inexpensive source of market intelligence which can be used by marketers to track problems and market opportunities. And also it can be used as public relations and direct marketing tool.
The main motto of social Media is to increase the Likes & Shares to get more traffic. For that, Marketer needs to listen, prioritize, develop & engage the followers periodically with unique content.
How Are Search & Social Media Marketing Related?
Why would a search marketer — or a site about search engines — care about social media? The two are very closely related.
Social media often feeds into the discovery of new content such as news stories, and "discovery" is a search activity. Social media can also help build links that in turn support into SEO efforts. Many people also perform searches at social media sites to find social media content. Social connections may also impact the relevancy of some search results, either within a social media network or at a 'mainstream' search engine.

Marketing Land is the sister site to Search Engine Land that covers all facets of internet marketing, including these popular networks within social media marketing:

"Presentation of Jesus in the Temple" by Bellini
Today is Candlemas, also known as the Feast of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple, and as the Purification of the Blessed Virgin. The Mosaic law required the exclusion of a new mother from the temple until she had been cleansed. Before a mother could be cleansed it was necessary for a certain period of time to elapse after the birth of her child. For a mother who had given birth to a male child, this period was 40 days. For a female child the period was double. Once the necessary time was over, the mother was to "bring to the temple a lamb for a holocaust and a young pigeon or turtle dove for sin"; if she was not able to offer a lamb, she was to take two turtle doves or two pigeons; the priest prayed for her and so she was cleansed. (Leviticus 12:2-8)
Forty days after the birth of Christ, Mary kept this precept of the law by offering two turtle doves, and was purified by the prayer of Simeon the just, in the presence of Anna the prophetess (Luke 2:22 sqq.).
Simeon's prayer would become known as the Nunc Dimittis, or Canticle of Simeon, which prophesied the redemption of the world by Jesus:
Now you are releasing your servant, Master, according to your word, in peace; for my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared before the face of all peoples; a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel.
Simeon then prophesied to Mary: "Behold, this child is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against. Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed" (Luke 2:34-35)
According to the Roman Missal, this feast is the occasion for the blessing of candles, accompanied by solemn procession.

Publishers Torn on Free E-Book Giveways
In an article in the New York Times, a publishing battle has been brought to the forefront. Several publishers are offering free e-books as promotional tools to entice Kindle users to buy other titles by the same author. Generally these are older titles used to promote newer ones.
Some publishers are concerned with the $9.99 fixed price Amazon is setting for Kindle books. They feel that this alone will cause users not to want to pay $24.95 for a hardcover. Giving it away for free is even worse. I tend to lean to the other side. If I read a free book by an author I don't know, I am more likely to buy other titles if I like it. $24.95 is a huge gamble on a new author (especially given our current economic climate). A free e-book is low risk. Besides, if you can afford a Kindle, you can probably afford to buy additional titles if you like what you see.
To me, this is reminiscent of the pre-internet video game era. You'd buy a game for $50 with no idea if it was good or not. Turns out, the game is terrible and you can't get a refund so it just sits on your shelf gathering dust. Or you use it as a coaster, same diff. Books are even more difficult to gauge. You can't just get on YouTube and watch a plot walkthrough. Ok, ok, that's enough with the video game analogy but you get my point.
I want to know what you think. Is this a good marketing tool or a shameful act that will cause the print market to collapse?

Speaking from a reader's perspective and experience, free e-books entice me to buy more. I agree, sampling often leads me to spend more money.
I have limited funds to spend on leisure (books, music, movies), so I'm very judicious about stepping beyond what I know (Classics). I rarely buy something by a new author unless I've been otherwise convinced what I'm buying is at least 75% guaranteed an enjoyable read.
Even though books are available in digital format, I still prefer to purchase the bulk of my books in paper form. I also tend to be a loyalist once I find an author I really enjoy, so that results in purchases of several books by the same author.
Having a free "sample" in digital format is the best way to hook me. I (almost always) refuse to spend money on a bound book if there's a risk I won't enjoy it.

Hey everyone! Today I have a gorgeous ILNP (I Love Nail Polish) holographic ultra chrome flakie polish to share!
This post is going to be a pretty quick one because I have so many posts to get up in the next little while! Anna (my best friend who's from Switzerland) got here yesterday!!! So I'll be volunteering a lot less and shopping, eating, hanging out, etc. with Anna instead! That also means I'll have time to be more active on here which I'm excited about!
Anyways, onto the nails!
To start I applied one easy coat of Essie Go Overboard, a dark teal polish.
After that had dried I went in with a coat of the star of the show; ILNP Paradox (H). A coat of top coat and I was finished!
This polish was super easy to apply and remove! The shift in this one is really amazing. I found myself staring at my nails constantly while wearing this!
What do you guys think of ILNP or their ultra chrome flakies? I picked up four of these ones with the holographic microglitter thrown in (and none of the holo-less ones). The holographic effect is so strong that these look completely different in the Sun, which I think is really cool! I have videos of these in the Sun and the shade on my Instagram if you scroll back to about three weeks ago!
Thanks so much for taking a look everyone! I have about six more posts to get up before I'm caught up so hopefully I'll be posting on here a lot from now on! Happy Thursday guys! =)
