|Harry and Felicity
A little bit about me first.
I live in Perth WA and have 4 children all c-sec, (15, 9 & 7) and the youngest Harry (2) is my Placenta Previa & Accreta child. I have also had two early miscarriages before Harry.
I was 31 when at my 12 week scan I was diagnosed with a low lying anterior placenta and possible placenta Previa. My GP advised that until my next scan at 16 weeks I was to be placed on pelvic rest. This would not have been an issue except that after 10 years we were to get married smack bang in the middle when I was 13 weeks. So needless to say this did no go down well. Wedding went ahead and was perfect with a wonderful week down in Yallingup hiking along the coast to coast track (oops). At my 16 week scan nothing had changed and my doctor referred me to Kaleeya for my ante natal care. The midwife told me that she had never advised someone with a low lying placenta to avoid sex so away we went, happy with that outcome.
|Our Wedding
Time for the 20 week scan where we were advised that we were expecting a little boy – of course I thought, after 3 girls it was going to be the boy causing trouble. After my now husband left I had my first internal ultrasound. No surprises there it was definitely complete placenta Previa. Still no mention of accreta. I went home and googled trying to find out what this placenta Previa was that I was getting little information on. A lot of horror stories came up and I began to get worried. My following appointments and more ultrasounds kept confirming PP and I was still not getting many answers, It was either that no –one had minimal if any at all experience or they just would not tell. All I got was a cheap drawing of the placenta covering the cervix. It was at my 32 week scan when I was actually told a few things by the radiologist because I asked. I know they should not tell but no-one else would. I asked about accreta and he advised that my uterus was so thin it was like a clear window and that I should make this my last pregnancy. He could not tell if my placenta invaded my uterus as it was to close to tell. Accreta was now a potential issue as well. After that scan I was transferred to King Edward Memorial Hospital for my prenatal care. It was here that the possibility of a hysterectomy was advised and everything become very real.
I was booked in for C-section 6th Feb 2012 at 37+4 and an appointment was made for me to see the anaesthetist 1st Feb.
On January 30th I was taken out for lunch by my friends and eldest daughter and had a great mini- baby shower. I came home and decided some last minute vacuuming was in order. The kids were starting the school term the next week and I would soon be in hospital. I needed to get things organised.
That night at 4am I woke up feeling wet. I turned on the light and noticed that I was bleeding. All I could think was what I have done... This is it. I have not been taking it easy and now this is pay back. I rang my husband who was at work to come home and KEMH who advised me to come it right away. The bleeding stopped on the way thank goodness and would have only have been 70ml or so but I was admitted and there I was to stay for the 7 days until my section. This was a horrible week. I missed my daughters first day at Pre- Primary and the whole first week of school. I was bored, put on bed rest for the first few days and had a bunt put in case emergency surgery was needed. I had no more bleeds whilst in hospital that week. The nurses were checking me every day to see if I had any contractions, I had ultrasounds every second day and I was allowed to leave the premises to go to the close park with my children and husband on the weekend. I was provided with an emergency beeper if I should bleed. My appointment with the anaesthetist was very overwhelming. I cried and was in shock. It was comforting to know that they were all experienced with this kind of surgery and that they would try to save my uterus and a hysterectomy would be a last resort. He told me it was natural to be scared but things would be ok. I signed the hysterectomy consent
The night before my scheduled section I didn't sleep. The next morning I was taken down to pre-op where I was given a spinal block ( my request) and so may bungs and drips placed in my arms. There was no central line but one in each wrist, the back of my hand and the inside of each elbow. This was the worst feeling, the anticipation of what could possibly come next. I was so scared.
In the operating theatre the first thing I noticed was how many people was there. There would have been at least 20 with all the nurses, specialists and residents, I felt like I was on display in a zoo. I looked to my right and there was the blood recycling unit. To my left was my new best friend the anesthetist. I had experienced a C-section 3 times before so I knew what to expect. After about 15 minutes I was asked if I wanted to see my son born. I regretfully declined but moments later I heard his cry and finally got to see my little trouble maker. He was taken away for cleaning and my surgery continued they were going to try to save my uterus. After another 20 minutes the surgeon learned over and said "I cannot remove the placenta I will have to do a hysterectomy" I was prepared for this and at this stage I didn't care anymore. My son was born and appeared healthy. I accepted the anesthetist offer of a general anaethetic and that was it.
I woke up hours later in the high dependency unit. I was advised that along with the hysterectomy I had my cervix, both fallopian tubes and one ovary removed. I also had a 4cm hole in my bladder from surgery and lost 2000mls and was given 300mls back via a cell saver. My son was in NICU as he had some breathing issues (due to his small size 5.6lb) and as I was being prepared to go see him, he was brought down to me. Harry was fine and I was so relived. I finally got to hold him. With all the cords and bungs it was very difficult but I was so happy. In the HD unit I had some cold toast and jam (Yuck) and was given an iron drip due to blood loss. This can have some side effects but I did not notice any. My husband finally got to come in and by the look on his face you tell he was emotionally drained. He told me that the surgery went for four hours and that he was continuously updated on the progress. Poor love. I was transferred back to the ward that evening where I had the first chance for some sleep.
For the first few feeds my colostrum was obtained by syringe. I was then put on the pump to try to get the breast milk flowing. My son was doing well and I was trying the best I could. I was exhausted. It was day three when I decided that I needed to get out of bed. OMG was that the worst thing I have ever tried to do, so I thought until I tried to go to the bathroom. After numerous attempts and laxatives we had success. I was now allowed real food. That week was terrible. I wanted to go home, but I had no idea how I would cope as I was so sore and my husband only had another week off work. Finally on the 13th I was allowed home. I had my staples removed however I needed to keep in my catheter for another 4 days so I would be back to have this removed later.
Things slowly improved at home. My son was thriving and I was getting physically better every day. There were days where I would over do it and pay for it in the following days however my body was healing and I was getting stronger. Emotionally I was a mess. I was fine for the first month but then I became numb to the world. My Husband didn't matter to me anymore and my other children took a back seat. I didn't realise at the time how low I was. I was crying all the time and didn't want to be with anyone other than Harry. The child health nurse referred me to the Fremantle Hospital psychologist department but by the time they called and offered me an appointment we couldn't afford it. It was about this time that I found the original Placenta Previa group on Facebook. I decided to join and suddenly there were people who had been through what I had. I befriended a few people in this group who even through they don't realise it helped my get through that tough time. They had problems with there relationships too and I decided to bit the bullet as they say and make my self be present in my families life. I realised that everyone had issues being intimate with there partners. Part of this was unattachement and also the physical pain and subconscious memories of surgery. It took quite a long time for the healing to progress to a stage where I was comfortable to talk about what had happened and to accept things for how they are now.
|Harry now
My pregnancy was quite easy compared to some. I worked full time up until 36 weeks, and continued to marshal the children's little athletics events. I don't think I ever really thought that I would have a major bleed. Even though my surgery was straight forward, recovery was hard and it was a tough emotional journey for everyone involved. I decided that when Harry turned one I would book myself in for my first blood donation ever. I have since paid back my 4 units and now donate plasma every month. I also contacted the hospital and obtained my surgery records. I have only read them once but every now and them I am tempted to have another read. I never do but just knowing they're there and are based on fact not emotions is a good thing.

Overrated: John Maynard Keynes
March 2015
John Maynard Keynes: Held in awe by the wartime generation (illustration by Michael Daley)
For the wartime generation, Keynes seemed nothing less than the saviour of mankind. He was the knight errant who returned from Washington in 1945, having negotiated the terms of the American loan that kept Britain afloat. He was the wizard who created the monetary system that restored stability to the post-war global economy. It was his General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money that heralded "the end of boom and bust" (as his disciple Gordon Brown would later put it). For decades after he died prematurely, exhausted by the task of saving the world, the great man was held in awe by his contemporaries. "Maynard was the cleverest man I have ever met," recalled his Bloomsbury friend Clive Bell. Even the less easily impressed Isaiah Berlin found him "intellectually awe-inspiring".
Keynes has never ceased to be a name to conjure with, but his reputation was eclipsed, at least in the Anglosphere, during the Reagan-Thatcher era. Even at his nadir, however, his biographers were busy burnishing his credentials, above all the three-volume monument by Robert Skidelsky. Now Richard Davenport-Hines has produced a superb biography for the general reader: Universal Man: The Seven Lives of John Maynard Keynes (William Collins, £18.99).
Davenport-Hines does not treat Keynes primarily as a thinker, but, as his title suggests, concentrates on Keynes the private and public man. For him, Keynes was indeed "an inspiring example of an intellectual who was bold in his ideas and unselfish in the ways that he put them into action". Even without Davenport-Hines's brilliant advocacy, it is enough to read Keynes to appreciate his genius and admire his generosity.
But it is precisely because Keynes the man has been constantly invoked as "beyond emulation" that Keynes the economist was and still is overrated. The theories that came to be known as "Keynesian" were inconsistent, ephemeral or plain wrong. Whether Keynes was in fact a Keynesian was unclear in his lifetime and is still moot. What is not in dispute is the extent of his influence, which has been colossal and mostly disastrous.In 1940, for instance, he wrote that the Nazi "New Order" was "excellent and just what we ourselves ought to be thinking of doing." While he claimed to believe in balanced budgets during "normal" times, his grandiose conception of macroeconomic management has provided a fig-leaf for big government ever since.
The economic crisis that broke in 2008 has predictably brought about a Keynesian renaissance, though he would surely have repudiated the demagogues who now take his name in vain. Keynes looms so large today because ideas long outlast the circumstances of their inception. After Churchill disregarded his advice and returned to the gold standard, Keynes wrote a devastating polemic, The Economic Consequences of Mr Churchill. Yet Churchill's mistake was at worst a short-sighted policy that was unsustainable in the long term. Politicians rarely look beyond the electoral horizon; Keynes himself observed that in the long run we are all dead. But the economic consequences of Lord Keynes are still with us.

Try reading the General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money and then you will realise why Keynes was overrated!l
Malcolm McLean
March 2nd, 2015
The idea is that governments should borrow during recessions, to keep the economy going, and cut back during booms to prevent overheating. Unfortunately the last is politically impossible. During a recession, people will very reluctantly admit that a hospital ward needs to be closed, because they know that money is short. But the idea that little Johnny will have to be left to die of heart failure, because the economy is doing well, and some abstract theory says that now government must reduce spending - that's a tough sell.

Is that it? I still don't understand why you think he's over-rated.

Registering for something or requesting a download should be quick and painless, and needn't require handing over too much private information. So when visitors are confronted with a stream of personal questions with no explanation behind them, they are likely to abandon the process, permanently.
Yes, you want to find out as much about your subscribers as you can; but you need to do it subtly. Enter progressive profiling. This clever little feature allows you to ask for information incrementally rather than all at once, thereby engaging with your subscribers slowly and steadily.
It works like this:
- Visitors signing up for the first time on your site need only provide their name and email address, which is all you need to start building a basic profile.
- When they return to the website, prompt a few more questions, such as their industry and job title. Subsequent questions could be the name of their company, city, country and interests; what type of content they'd like to receive from you; and how frequently they'd like to receive it. The key here is that, because you are only asking two or three questions at a time, your abandon rate is low.
One of the great benefits of this tactic is that at each new interaction you find out valuable information about subscribers. At the same time, they don't feel uncomfortable with an intimidating sign-up form because the process is handled in a number of stages at their own pace. The result? Everyone's happy. You get the information you need and the subscriber gets the newsletter (or whatever it happens to be) they want.
Although the setup might require a little bit more effort, there is no doubt that progressive profiling allows you to develop a strong online relationship with your customer, even if it happens over a longer period of time.

Denver also creates transition situations through sheer hustle, even when the numbers don't seem to be in their favor. Because George Karl stresses it so much, Denver is running while the other team jogs back on defense, especially the big men. You would expect this from a high energy player like Kenneth Faried, but Nenê and Timofey Mozgov are also sprinting to the rim. With Ty Lawson's speed and Andre Miller's passing ability, those big men are often rewarded for their hustle. The video below shows how hard the Nuggets work to get their transition opportunities.


text: e46v12 171 Report post Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) So after some time to think, I've decided to do a build thread about my new daily projects or how i came about it. So I went on the hunt for a E34 sedan as i love the shape. Managed to score the 540i sedan off joKer here on bimmersport. Wasn't in the prettiest of shape but fixable. So on the hunt for parts to fix up the sedan and I see this comment on a trade me ad. Seller saying wheels were off a e34 540i touring and he was looking at selling that one day. I hit him up and he's keen to sell. Nice I'm thinking to myself i have a complete car to strip parts from! So long story short I pick up the touring and it is is such mint condition apart from sitting for 3 years. it would be an utter shame to wreck this beast. So this is where i am now with a daily E34 540i sedan and rare E34 540i touring that i plan to New Plans #̶1̶ ̶c̶o̶n̶v̶e̶r̶t̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶m̶a̶n̶u̶a̶l̶ #1 Daily E34 sedan - swap to m60b44 and convert to manual #̶2̶ ̶d̶o̶ ̶a̶ ̶m̶6̶0̶b̶4̶4̶ ̶s̶w̶a̶p̶ #2 Sunday driver E34 touring leave auto and m60b40 add supercharger So currently both cars are running. Sedan just a general clean, got bonnet painted and fitted new from bumper. The touring had a bit of work to get it going mainly a new fuel pump, drain old fuel, new oil, dry out the carpet and a good scrub. Here are some picture of before and after of how both vehicles looked. after pictures enjoy team. Edited May 14, 2018 by e46v12 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A couple of weekends ago, we made a trip up to Nixa, Missouri (near Springfield) to visit Nick's Mamaw. Nick had been working on a TV stand for her for a few weeks that he finished and we made the trip up to take it to its new home.
Caleb fell asleep a few minutes into the trip.
Hanging out with Mamaw. He thought it was so fun to sit on the fireplace ledge.
Mamaw the Great with her mop-headed great grandson. :) (this was obviously pre-haircut)
We took her on a Valentine's date to Cheddar's. We'd never been there before, but the food was great and the prices were great and the peach tea was fantastic!!
Mamaw had this cool toy that shot monkeys out of a cannon.
After Cheddar's Caleb got his haircut that you can read about here.
Mamaw with the TV stand that Nick made. Didn't he do a great job? He even got to use some of his Papaw's old tools that had been in the family for years and years and years. That made it extra special. The weekend we went, was the 4 year anniversary of Papaw's passing which happens to be the day before Valentine's. We had so much fun reminiscing and telling Papaw stories. I wish Caleb could have met him. Yesterday was also the one year anniversary of when my Grandpa passed away. Sure missing our grandparents. We are so blessed to have had these incredible people (including my Grandma Willis).
Back to the TV cabinet. Mamaw sat down with Nick over New Year's and was able to tell him what kinds of features she wanted, and Nick made it exactly to her specifications.
Work it, Mamaw!
We had a fantastic visit to Mamaw's and hope to be able to devote an entire day to each one of our grandparents in the near future. Go hug or call your grandma or grandpa (or whatever endearing term you might use)! :)

Mexico's industrial sector slid 0.1 percent in October, which fell below analyst expectations of 0.25 percent, and mining dropped 0.6 percent that same month, according to Reuters. Slow oil production and low oil prices slammed Mexico, hurting President Pena Nieto's desire to ramp up energy production to improve the economy. Factory production grew 0.1 percent, with the utility sector expanding 0.6 percent, but construction yielded no growth.
High poverty rates and drug violence has tarnished Mexico's reputation, but not much attention has been given to a robust middle class and thriving manufacturing sector that ships goods throughout the Americas. Mexico has also benefited from the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), as many employers moved operations from the U.S. to Mexico.
Moreover, Mexico has traditionally been a popular investment sight for large firms because of the country's educated worker base and low property values. However, Mexico's manufacturing capacity is beginning to wane due to lower demand, and the energy sector is partly to blame. Oil prices dropped over 40 percent since the summer of 2014, placing energy-rich countries like Mexico in a bind as oil companies fail to yield sustainable profits.
Oil Downfall
Nieto had campaigned on a platform of attracting foreign investors by liberalizing state-run oil firm Pemex, but his aspirations will be dashed as long as the oil supply glut continues, combined with lower demand. With that, many Mexicans hold their oil in high regard more than other energy-bearing nations, viewing the commodity as something that must benefit the people and not foreign investors who may exploit the oil at the expense of the public.
The Mexican consciousness had this view ingrained to the point where Nieto had signed an amendment to the country's constitution allowing private investment in Pemex, the first time in over 70 years. Regardless of such an enormous accomplishment, the government will have to minimize oil's importance on the economy and diversify away from energy.
However, a low-priced oil market is the least of Mexico's worries, and even though a strong manufacturing base will prop up the economy, a variety of long-term issues will hamper progress, most notably corruption.
Systemic Corruption
The government cannot expand wealth and opportunities without addressing the enormous corruption permeating throughout the government. In 2014, Mexico was one of the most corrupt nations on the planet, notes Forbes. This stems from a variety of factors, such as a low tax base that fosters little accountability, and close ties between politicians and drug cartels.
Estimates are that over 100,000 people have been murdered since the drug war started in 2006. Such a high rate of violence and corruption will continue to hold back the economy, regardless of a sound manufacturing sector, and the impact of the world economy will further jeopardize stability within Mexico.

Sculpture: Musée du Louvre
The Musée du Louvre has always suffered from a kind of embarrassment of riches.
On the surface, this translates to an amazing assortment of historical art on display for visitors, but it also hides a secret anxiety when you realize just how much time it would take to see it all if you were to give each exhibit two minutes to view and appreciate (or even one minute if you wanted to "rush" the experience).
In reality, this means that no matter how many times I visit the museum, there's always something I didn't see or notice the last time I was there.
Of course, I've seen the classic "must-sees" of the Louvre; everyone does that on their first time through. It's only on the repeat visits that you start having time to pick out your favourites.
Here are some of my favourite sculptures from the permanent collection on display at the museum.
If you were to spend one minute each on just the 35,000 exhibited items, you'd need 24 days, 7 hours, and 20 minutes before you'd seen it all.

Austin and I need your help...
This morning the three of us were cuddled in bed reading "Brown bear, brown bear what do you see?" When Maisie started naming the body parts on the teacher. Eyes, nose, hair and so on, when she pointed to the teacher's glasses.
That's when one of us {Austin or myself} asked "Is he wearing glasses Maisie?"
The other quickly replied "That's not a man! That is definitely a woman!"
So began the war. We civilly tried to debate and convince each other to one's side, but we are still pained with discrepancy. The bottom line is plain and simple...
Who is right.
Who is right.
I searched the Internet, but it looks like it is either blatantly obvious to the mass population or every one is just busy actually having a life. I am leaning to the latter.
So, great people who read this blog... is this teacher male or female?

No matter how experienced you are, there is always room to improve. Even professionals who have danced their entire lives have coaches, especially for specific roles they've been cast in. There is nuance and shading to a character, a little more oomph to eke out of an arabesque, or new ways of connecting with a partner.
|George Balanchine giving a correction to a student.
But for many beginning dancers, corrections are often the kind of attention they think they don't want. They may not realize it's a good thing to be noticed when they're doing something wrong. So here are a few suggestions on how to take corrections when they are offered by a teacher:
1. Understand that a correction is a sign you have potential to improve.
Talk to any teacher, whether it's dance or an academic subject, and they will tell you they spend more time with students they believe have the ability to improve. No one wants to give time and attention to a student who will ignore it.
2. Try to stay "in the moment" when you are receiving the correction.
If it's at the barre or center and the teacher has stopped the combination to address a correction on you, focus on the words she's saying rather than the message in your head ("Oh my god, everyone's looking at me!"). No one is judging you. In fact, they want to be in your place, getting the correction. And if you have an instructor who delivers corrections in a harsh tone, understand that your fellow dancers are all looking on with empathy.
3. If you are asked to repeat a step with the given correction, it's okay if you can't replicate it perfectly.
Teachers want to see the correction on you to see if it works for you. If it doesn't work for you, then they will want to adjust the correction for you. If it will work but you haven't quite grasped it, they will keep an eye on that for future reference.
4. If you are being given a correction during class, that is not the time to argue or to question.
A correction is not an invitation to a dialogue. I give corrections three ways: 1) during a combination at the barre, I will make a personal adjustment on your body and then move on; 2) between combinations at the barre, I may use a student as an example to show a correction to everyone; and 3) during center, I may pull someone aside when they are between groups. In every one of those instances, my goal is to get the class moving again. I don't want to stop and have a discussion that will disrupt the flow. If you are given a correction during class that you just don't understand, it's okay to ask the teacher after class if she has time for clarification. If she doesn't, respect her time and ask if she could address the correction to the group next time in class.
5. After class, make a mental note of the correction you were given so you'll remember for next time.
Young children are encouraged to keep journals of corrections so they can see if they are given the same ones over and over again. The act of writing them down also helps to imprint them on their brains. You don't need to write them down, but it will definitely help you for next time if you take a moment to stop and recall what the teacher said to you.
6. Understand that a correction may take months or years to work for you.
There are corrections I can remember from a dozen years ago, from various teachers who saw something in me and offered guidance, but I wasn't in a place to take it in and apply it properly. You may hear a correction from a teacher today that you can't make work but in a month or three, you will suddenly have an "a-ha!" moment and realize what she meant.
7. Finally, no matter what your level, you can learn from every single correction that is given to another student.
And to those students who do not wish to receive corrections, it's okay to tell your teacher that in advance of class. For whatever reason, you may not wish to participate in class in that manner. Be polite and explain why and your teacher will understand. The worst thing for a teacher is to have her corrections ignored. That's when I stop giving them to a student.
Happy dancing~

About NMC Alumni Association
Why the Starfish? Because one person can make a difference, even in its smallest form.
The Starfish Story
One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed
a figure in the distance. As he got closer, he realized the figure was that
of a boy picking up and gently throwing something in to the ocean.
Approaching the boy, he asked, "What are you doing?"
The youth replied, "Throwing starfish back into the ocean.
You see, the sun is coming up and the tide is going out.
If I don't throw them in, they'll die."
"Son," the man said, "don't you realize there are miles and miles of beach
and hundreds and thousands of starfish? You cannot possibly make a difference."
After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish,
and threw it back into the ocean. Then, smiling at the man, he said,
"but I made a difference for that one."

amazon.com / amazon.de
We are living in a global village. When it comes to travel, we book a flight and within a day we are able to get to almost every corner of our planet. The internet gives us every information we need with just a couple of mouse clicks. We have "friends" on facebook and a blog post goes around the digital world in seconds.
We sell, buy, exchange goods and ship them to other countries; no big deal is this.
eBooks eliminate the need to wait for the printed copy; it gives you also the good feeling to be part of the "Green Planet" initiative. How easy it is to order an ebook.
Ehm, wait … What about Amazon??
For about 1 year, I have 100$ on my amazon.com account. The money came from a gift card. And for about 1 year, I am not able to order anything from amazon.com and use the money for payment.
Today I started a new attempt. I thought that ordering an ebook would be ok. There is no shipping cost, no tax etc. So I tried to order
Oh, did I mention, that I am located in Germany? Amazon does know and instead of letting me order an eBook it just gives me a hint that I should order from amazon.de.
That would not be a problem, if I only could use my amazon.com giftcard on amazon.de.But the giftcard is not accessible from my amazon.de account. According to amazon, shifting the money from one account to another ( for the same user ) is not possible. I cannot even give away the money for charity or just move the money from my account to another account.
And if I see this correct, I am not even able to place an order for a friend in USA and use his address for delivery.
AMAZON, this is anoying!! In Germany I would take you to court for taking the money and not providing a benefit. …

Pay attention to what's really going on
Dear Editor,
The land of the free and the home of the brave, which is the United States of America, has the potential of becoming a very hazardous place to live. When Bill Clinton was elected president in 1992, they let it be known that you were getting two for one. One of Hillary's first orders was no military personnel would be allowed in the White House in their military uniforms. Now, she would like you to believe she loves the fighting men but not the war. She can fool part of the people part of the time, but not all of the people all of the time. In WWII, I served under two great Commanders in Chief.
I sure wouldn't want to serve under Hillary in either peace or wartime.
In the Republican debate Wednesday, please tell me I didn't hear Ron Paul say he would disband the C.I.A. if elected. That would be like telling the fox to come in the hen house and feast until there would be nothing left to eat. It amazes me that some people don't understand what is really going on in this world.
Dale Covert,

As you learned in the previous articles, targeted keywords, a good advertisement and persuasive landing pages are the three aspects that help you make money with AdWords. The entire AdWords campaign is broken if even one of these elements does not work.
In the two previous articles we discussed in detail ad creation, ad writing and landing pages. In this article we will study an effective AdWords keyword strategy in depth. It will help you lower costs per click, get a higher click through rate, get more traffic and raise your quality score. We will discuss Google's contextual network, its effectiveness and whether you should opt out. And in the end we touch on another AdWords segment – image (banner) advertising, its effectiveness and banner strategies.
AdWords Keyword Strategy
As you start a new AdWords campaign, you won't know which keywords will bring you the most traffic and generate the most conversions. You can guess, but the only way to find out is to let the ads run for few days.
Take your core keywords (you can read more about this topic in the previous article) and create an ad group for each. Each core keyword requires a separate group and a separate ad.
Put secondary key phrases into an ad group according to the core keyword to which they relate. For example, if the core keyword is "buy digital camera" and secondary keywords are "buy cheap digital camera," "buy panasonic digital camera" and "buy digital video camera," then those phrases will go into the "buy digital camera" group. (We discussed keyword research in detail in the second article in this series).
Write two ads for each ad group in order to do split testing.
Put conversion tracking codes into the appropriate pages to track the sales each keyword delivers. With conversion tracking, AdWords will report the number of clicks, impressions and conversion rate for your phrases.
Let the ads run for a few days.
As the advertisements run on search results and on the contextual network (more on the contextual network later in this article) for different keywords, AdWords collect statistics. After a few days you will have good performance data for each ad group. This is what we're after.
Once you have the statistics, you will notice that some keywords drive way more traffic than the others. Take those keywords and put them into their own ad group.
This will help you lower your cost per click, increase the click through rate and raise your quality score, because when you put keywords into their own ad groups, you will write new advertisements for each, designed just for those keywords.
With this strategy you will:
Lower the price you pay for each click. Google rewards advertisers that have a high click through rate by lowering their price per click and moving the ad into a higher position.
Get more visitors to your website, and more conversions as a result (assuming your landing pages do the job).
Increase your AdWords quality score.
Notice that when you stick high-performing keywords in their own ad group and write an advertisement specifically for those phrases, your overall click-through goes up.
{mospagebreak title=Negative Keywords}
Whenever you don't want to show your ad for certain keywords, you can put those keywords into the list as negative keywords. For example, take the keyword "free." Chances are you won't make any money from the traffic that searches with "free ____," so it's a good idea to enter this word as a negative match.
Negative match: -keyword (make sure to put the minus sign in front).
Be careful with what you put as a negative keyword match, as you might cut off some good phrases. Also, note that once a word is entered as a negative match, your ad won't show for any searches containing that word.
AdWords Contextual Network
The Google AdWords contextual network is the biggest in the world, and has only one competitor – the Yahoo Publisher Network. The contextual network is also called AdSense (if you're a publisher). Here's what Google has to say about it:
"The Google content network comprises hundreds of thousands of high-quality websites, news pages and blogs that partner with Google to display targeted AdWords ads. When you choose to advertise on the content network, you can expand your marketing reach to targeted audiences — and potential customers — visiting these sites every day. The Google content network reaches over 75% of unique Internet users in more than 20 languages and over 100 countries. As a result, if you advertise on both the Google search network and the Google content network, you have the potential to reach three of every four unique Internet users on Earth." – Google
That may be true, but the content network delivers lower conversion rates and less clicks than search. If you're new to AdWords, I recommend that you opt out of the content network and focus on search ads, since they deliver more clicks and conversions.
If you do choose to participate, you can:
Identify websites that drive high converting traffic and show more ads on those sites.
Identify sites that drive low quality traffic and prevent those websites from showing your ads.
Refine targeting with negative keywords.
Bid separately for the content network from the search network.
Choose websites on which to show ads manually.
You can also advertise image ads (banners) on the Google Network and Google Double Click Network.
{mospagebreak title=Image and Banner Advertisements on Google AdWords}
Google AdWords offers banner ad service, but first, let me give you a little background on Google and banner ads.
Initially, Google AdWords started as their pay-per-click only engine. As it outgrew its competitors, however, Google decided to enter the banner ad market with their next product – Google Image Ads.
The leaders in this field were DoubleClick, Yahoo, Aquantive and Microsoft. Google failed to impact their market share, so they decided to purchase DoubleClick for $3.1 billion dollars as a result.
DoubleClick allowed Google to lock a competitor out of the display advertising market — namely Microsoft. It also allowed the search engine giant to expand their business model in a very closely related field.
The result of these moves is plain to see. Google now controls somewhere around 70 percent of the online advertising market.
Since the purchase DoubleClick, the DART network has been integrated into AdWords and AdSense. Whenever you choose "Image ads," you leverage the vast DoubleClick network of publishers.
{mospagebreak title=Display Ads vs Pay Per Click and Roles}
Banner ads deliver extremely low click through and conversion rates. According to various sources, banner ads get click through rates between 0.02 and 0.5 percent. As a result, all image ads are sold on the basis of impressions. Advertisers pay per each 1000 impressions (meaning the ad is shown 1000 times on the website).
What's the use if no one clicks? Well, banner ads are used largely for branding. Through repetition, marketers get customers accustomed to a particular brand name. As a result, people trust the brand more than a company they've never heard of.
Successful branding though the AdWords/DoubleClick banner network requires careful website and behavioral research. Ideally, you want to reach customers and show them your banners on as many websites as possible; therefore, you have to guess/predict where your customer will go and then buy banners on those sites.
DoubleClick has its own set of tools to help you plan, and Google offers Google Insights and Google Ad Planner for this purpose.
You can buy banners on Google AdWords and DoubleClick networks right from the AdWords interface. Setup is as easy as text ads, but the requirements are little more strict, since you have to adhere to banner size.
You can choose between eight banner sizes: Banner, 468 x 60; Leaderboard, 728 x 90; Square, 250 x 250; Small Square, 200 x 200; Large Rectangle, 336 x 280; Inline Rectangle, 300 x 250; Skyscraper, 120 x 600; and Wide Skyscraper, 160 x 600. Each banner size performs differently. Some get more clicks than the others, while others are simply not allowed on certain websites.
When choosing banner size:
Keep in mind that publishers get to choose banner sizes. If Newspaper X does not allow a banner in the square 250 X 250 size, then the banner ad won't show on their site. If you want the broadest brand exposure, then don't discriminate on banner size. Make many versions of the same banner in order to reach as many people as you can.
Maintain the feel, and make sure your brand is easy to recognize no matter the size. Keep design elements intact, exact colors, fonts and backgrounds. Play with positions and sizes, but make sure that the 120 x 600 Skyscraper looks just like the 200 x 200 Small Square.
Try all banner sizes. Some sizes get more clicks than the others; still, remember that you're looking for exposure, not clicks. Try all sizes to see if you get more indirect traffic/customers over time.
Banner bids work in a manner similar to text ads. The highest bidder gets the best spots. I am not sure how Google determines the best spot to show an image ad. My guess would be that it involves proximity of the ad to content, click through rate, above the fold factor, etc.
Good luck with your AdWords campaigns! Make sure to check Google's AdWords Help Section.

Business Processes
Business Processes describe the Activities that are carried out by an organization to deliver a product or service. They are typically represented as a series of sequential steps and are decomposed into hierarchies that often start at the highest level with the value chain and go down to the level just above the task level. When used with Enterprise Architecture it is important to keep these diagrams simple and descriptive. They are a useful view of how an organization goes about achieving its desired business goals and objectives. They are typically represented as a series of diagrams organized in a hierarchy reflecting the way the business sees its operation.
These provide an alternative view of what the business does and can be compared to both Business Functions and Business Capabilities, both of which are represented by hierarchies of elements. The Business Functions typically deliver business value and are organized by required skill and organizational structure. Capabilities are more abstract and focus on what abilities are required and as a result they tend to be less volatile. One of the issues with Businesses Process modeling is that by the time the task is complete the processes are likely to have changed. Even though it is more common to pin architectural effort to a well developed capability model, the Businesses Process Model still has its purpose and helps the architect understand how the business value is achieved and the flow of activities that creates it.
Enterprise Architect has a wide range of tools that can be used to create these models of the business activities. The three main languages that can be used to model the Business Processes are:
- ArchiMate Business Layer - Business Process
- Unified Modeling Language - Activity Diagram
- Business Process model and Notation - Business Process Diagram
The Activity that is the behavioral unit in each of the notations can be organized into a hierarchy using the Project Browser, which provides a way of rolling up from low level activities and a method to decompose a higher level activity into more granular Activities. This provides a usual mechanism for viewing the hierarchy and also acts as a paradigm for communication with the appropriate stakeholders - executives will typically be interested in the Value Chain or highest level Activities, line of business managers with the next level down, and operation managers will be interested in the lower level diagrams.
An alternative way of visualizing the hierarchy of activities that make up a business process is to create a Business Process Hierarchy diagram that shows the hierarchy in a structural diagram. This provides a compelling view but care must be taken as this diagram must be updated manually if the structure of the hierarchy is changed.

It seems to me it is only in Modern wargames that casualties are vital to the game. No one worries how many Romans die for example in an ancient game. And that for e makes modern games very interesting (feel free to disagree) but not only are you trying to win the game but also do it without taking casualties.
This model was a BIG pain to finish. The kit went together well enough apart from me getting glue on the windows at every opportunity. But as it was over 10 years old (most of us have kits like that) the decals pretty mush disintegrated when applied or in one case just flaked off! Still whinge over, I painted on two of the crosses but had to leaf a few decals off. That does not bother me as it is for wargaming and not display. If you look closely you can see the two red crosses I had to paint so please don't look closely. I know my club members well enough to know they will be happy if/when it turns up.
Lovely work Clint. Good idea about using disposable wine glasses for flight stands - nice and cheap and who doesn't like that?As for scoring, you've got the chopper at 12 points and five crew/casualty figures at 2 points each (half points for prone/seated).giving you a total of 22 points. I'm going to add an extra point though for the wine glass.

Over Thanksgiving week I was a speaker at the 38th annual Missouri Governor's Conference on Agriculture. This was held in Osage Beach in the Lake of the Ozarks.
I was honored to speak following a governor who had grown up on a farm and had interest in the future of agriculture. Politicians often "talk the talk" but do not "walk the talk." It appears this governor has a capable staff that is attempting to make a difference for Missouri agriculture.
At the conference I was asked to discuss entrepreneurial skills that would be needed to move the agricultural industry forward.
First one must have vision of what will or will not work in your specific area. "Build it and they will come" worked in the Field of Dreams, but having a strategic location, or a unique resource, i.e. human, natural, or a combination of the two, will be critical.
To succeed in the next decade, one must keep overhead cost per output unit at a minimum.
Third, knowing the cost of production and whether it will be viable given a wide range of marketing and economic conditions will be necessary.
Any entrepreneur will tell you capital is the lifeblood. It's a requirement to have the necessary working capital and access to borrowed and equity capital providing at least a 5 percent return.
Finally, planning is necessary, but execution of the game plan determines the winners and losers, and that's what makes entrepreneurship special.

I was so impressed with the number of FFA chapters, state officers and chapter advisors in attendance. These kids can really get adults charged up!

False Bay Project
The False Bay Project is a collaborative project between the Marine Research Institute at the University of Cape Town (UCT) through the Oceanography department and the Institute of Maritime Technology through the South African Navy (IMT). The overarching aim of this study is to further our understanding of False Bay in terms of its' oceanography and biological processes. Currently UCT student, Renae Logston, is investigating upwelling cell development and their circulation within the bay on a temporal and spatial scale. She plans to use this information to analyse fish and top predator movement in relation to the upwelling cell's development in the bay. The 2014 Oceanography Honour students participated in collecting the in situ data for the False Bay Project via conductivity, temperature and depth (CTD) instrument, Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) and an anemometer to record wind. The students also had an opportunity to become Class IV commercial divers and were able to deploy the ADCPs throughout False Bay. The Honour students were also given the opportunity to use the data for their Honour's project, which will be completed by the end of October 2014.

Mistakes you make in the first
A month ago I was told I have type 2 diabetes. I wanted to write about the mistakes I made in the begining of all this. I look bad on this and have to laugh something that you will have to learn very quick is to laugh and learn not o get upset of the little things..
I have read storys on here about the worrying would make your blood sugars go up. Little did I know it would make mine high atleast 50 points higher from worrying about my sugars!!!
In the begin I never asked questions on how much I was to test my blood sugar and I just assumed that they wanted me testing 8 times a day. Plus, I never kept my record of my sugar in a colum, Just wrote each time I tested and all I saw were theses munbers going all over the charts. Which in turn made me panic cuz I am so very scared of having to take insulin!!!
Last week my eye Dr called to see what my blood sugar was cuz we have been trying to get my yes tested, like the last 2 weeks have been it was high!! He asked that I go speak with my Dr about them being high.. I sat there in the room thinking (yep Cheryl you messed up and now you have to go on insulin!!) I even said crying when the nurse came in and was talking to me!!!
The Dr. came in and sat down explain the med I am on is working but that I needed to put my reading down on a piece of papre in colums not just write them down cuz all ya see is theses number but you dont see how muc it is coming down.. As for me testing 8 times a day I was told to stop and only test up to 4 times a day..
What I have learned from this is that always testing like that when it is high makes me panic and the stress from me panic made it even go higher!!
Before I stoped testing so much it was running in the 190's up and over well over 200!! Now the morning it was 127. I just wanted to share this with you all cuz I know there are others that are afraid to ask question and just want to do right!!!
Dont be afraid and ask alots of questions like my Dr. explain to me (This is my body and it is better to ask a question..)
And stress will cause the blood sugars to be higher!! Just food for thought everyone.. Be blessed and hang in there..
11 replies
Hi, thanks for sharing your experiences. I'm a newbie, was informed 4 days ago of being positive & someone at work was telling me that stress can trigger blood sugars to go haywire. I'm now seeing that our thoughts may be a factor in controlling diabetes. I know last Saturday when I gave my blood after fasting, I thought I was lsing my mind. I literally thought I was going crazy, coz I couldn't tell reality from fantasy & my mind kept racing with uncontrollable, obsessive thoughts. I have so grateful to now have a reason for what I was going through. I now know it's diabetes & my blood sugars jumping off the charts & not that I'm getting ready for a bed in some mental health facility…LOL
There is so much out there to learn and let me tell ya.. I am the type if something is wrong look it up on the web. LOL But what is worse is when people find out that you have the big D it's like everyone wants to tell ya what to do. As I said talk to your Dr about what you are feeling cuz they can give ya something for your rasing thoughts.. My Dr. put me on Celexa ( not sure I spelled that right but I am blonde..LOL) It has helped me greatly but my rasing thoughts but I also have some nerve problems in my fingers.. Which has also helped too. Hang in there and remember life is not waiting for the storm to pass. Life is about learning to dance in the rain!!! So yes, I cant dance but let me tell ya I am stooping my feet in the rain.. LOL
AWWW hun you sound like you need a hug!!!!
awww, yep I know the feeling of the panic and trying to get numbers down, with stress in life.
I test 3 times a day, morning after lunch before bed, unless I am going to do more then normal work out I ll test before and after.
I too learned a very hard lesson, I was cleaning house like a mad woman, washing base boards, floors ect, got to the 3rd room of deep cleaning, and felt very sick to my tummy, plus weird feeling in my head, very confused and icky, I told my self it has to be the cleaners,
I got worse and felt like I was passing out, so I went out side for air, not thinking to check my sugar, ding ding ding bad girl!
I told my hubby I am so cold and do not feel good, he asked have you checked your sugar?
no… I was 62 so I grabbed my orange juice drank it, waited tested 15 mins, 68 I was huh??? so drank more and called the doctor, she told me to eat some protien with the juice, and call her in 20 mins, it went up to 98.
So now I really watch,
I notice my eyes blurr if I hit 150 or higher so thats my trigger to see if Im high.
It takes time to get the numbers down, Do not let them freak you out.
and they wont put you on it with out trying a few drugs first unless you need it.
the only time she said temp insuline was when I had a sever reaction to metaphorim and they had to put me on rice and bananas diet for 1 week to settle my system down.
But my sugar held in the 100s to low 200 so no insuline.
There is a lot to learn, and as the saying goes we did nt get here in 1 day so it will take time, and this is a life race so take it each day at a time, breath, try things to see what works for you and what doesnt,
right now we are learning a lot from toma, we are starting to learn about grams and measuring our foods.
You will find here a lot of great folks, very very caring and loving group,\.
add us all to your friends and join up with the team here and enjoy the ride!!!
As a Food Service Director in healthcare I had to follow the dietitians' and doctors' that were written for diabetic diets but secretly always wondered why the amounts of carbohydrates were so large since the body was having such a hard time digesting that nutritional component. When I became Type II 10 years ago, I told my doctor that professionally I knew all about diabetes and did not need any additional instruction. I quickly learned I could not eat the "white foods" and I already knew that fat slowed down the metabolism of most "complex" carbohydrates, so enjoyed steak, refried beans, omelets, etc. Unfortunately this disregard of food intake resulted in a weight gain, though my A1c remained below 6.2 for this 10 year period. I was blessed with HDLs of 60-70 so was not motivated to change my diet. But I wanted to wear "cute" clothes. I got involved with a diabetic research program called Look AHEAD where I had an external motivator to keep me focused to loose weight. I've lost 40 pounds in the last 5 years by tracking carbohydrates and fat grams and maintaining an active life style.
My purpose for this contribution is to remind newly diagnosed diabetics to not necessairly trust the information they get from mainstream medical sources but at the same time don't discard it, either. Finally, both ADAs (Diabetes and Dietetic) have come around to okaying a better balance between carbs, protein, and fat. (I cannot remember what it is but if anyone wants to know, email me.) I would say that the most important treatment you can do for your diabetes is to exercise, and do your worrying about the disease when you are otherwise walking, gardening, hiking, or playing horseshoes. Good luck.

Mistakes I made.
1. Listened to the dietician who wanted me to eat 75g of carb per meal plus two 25g snacks per day.
2. Tried to do everything at once.
3. Worried about things too much.
4. Didn't question things.
Doing all that landed me in the ER for the first time in 12 years (and that was because of a cycling accident) about 4 weeks after diagnosis as well as dropping weight like crazy. Since I've taken a much bigger role in my own care things have got better and better. Cholesterol is way down, my weight is back up and good, my numbers are good, I take less medication, I know a lot about diabetes, treatments, medications, alternative treatments and all the things that go along with them and I'm happier. I still make "mistakes" but really they are not true mistakes but non ideal choices that I know I'm doing and know what the ramification will be.
Do not be afraid to question your doctor on anything. My Doc and I have a lot of discussions about meds and things…sometimes he wins, sometimes I win…LOL The point is, it is your health in question, so you have the right to ask what your options are.
And certainly do not try to do it all at once. One step at a time is the only way.
I appreciate you sharing your experience with us.
I too remember making some silly mistakes and assumptions with my son in the beginning. The doctors and nurses that taught us how to treat him did a great job. But there's just so much to learn in the beginning that it's impossible to take it all in at once.
Thanks for the reminder about taking charge and asking questions.
Glad Your doing much better.Dont worry that Your life will end,Worry that it will never begin..John

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Evidence Poems by Mary Oliver Beacon Press; 88 pgs., $23
The poet Maya Angelou once said that even if everything has been written about, it's the poet's job to look at it anew and write about it in a different way. Evidence, Provincetown poet Mary Oliver's newest book, is an example of just that advice. Oliver has been writing meditations on nature in books and collections for over 40 years and she still finds a way to keep it fresh.
In Evidence, Oliver shows a more transcendental side than usual, beginning with the short poem called, "Yellow"
There is the heaven we enter
through institutional grace
and there are the yellow.finches bathing and singing
in the lowly puddle.
Swans, buzzards, snowy egrets, and bluebirds all take a bow in Evidence, as do violets, honey locusts, and mockingbirds. All part of this wonderful poet's calling card. Oliver not only invites the reader to be more observant of nature that surrounds us, she has an uncanny ability to make us understand how we are all one with the universe. I know that phrase is well-trammeled cliché, but many clichés exist only because of their veracity. Here's an example of that notion with the first six lines from "I Want:"
I want to be
in partnership
with the universe
like the tiger lily
poking up
its gorgeous head
Whether through simile, metaphor, or imagery, Oliver embraces the consequences of the universe – especially her immediate universe of Cape Cod – unflinchingly. It's not all sparkling dunes and stunning sunsets in our Cape Cod world; there's also the decay and inexorable death of the beauty she connects with so convincingly.
And then there's the trademark Oliver simplicity and candor in her language. She writes with a directness that demonstrates an awareness of an audience without pandering to it. I hate feeling like an idiot when I read poetry that is purposely dense. I've always believed that there is a pact between a writer and the audience. The writer's obligation is to at least allow the gist of an idea or image to come through without the reader breaking out his literary machete just to hack through the detritus of language, all the while stumbling through the bramble of allegory. Please, give us all a break – we have some TV to watch too, and we can't do it with a headache.
One final corsage to pin on Mary Oliver. She's also up on her Flaubert, who spent a lifetime searching for "le mot juste" – that right word. That's what you find in Evidence, and, for that matter, in all the books from this prolific poet. The exact word that fits in the exact place. There's no double guessing Oliver's choice of words because none other will do. Maybe that's her gift from the Muse, but I have a feeling it's simply hard work on the poet's part. If something reads easily odds are it wasn't a cakewalk for the writer.
Let's close with a full poem from Evidence to underscore this sense of oneness with the environment and to give Ms. Oliver the final word. It's called "Prayer:"
May I never not be frisky,
May I never not be risqué.
May my ashes, when you have them, friend,
and give them to the ocean,
leap in the froth of the waves,
still loving movement,
still ready, beyond all else,
to dance for the world.

Doctrines of Salvation, Volume I-3, is an authoritative work, written by the most outstanding scholar of the gospel in the Church containing a wealth of explanations about a vast array of gospel topics, many of which can not be found in other sources. Add an authoritative source on issues frequently discussed today: What was the nature of our life in the pre-existence and what was it's purpose? What is the true story of creation? What is the age of the earth? Can the theory of evolution harmonize with the Gospel? Do we believe in the Adam-God theory? What is the role of Adam in the plan of salvation? How does the fall of the first man affects our salvation? What are the requirements of the Divine Law of Witnesses? Why are there always two people present when the Priesthood and it's keys were restored? Why were two martyrs slain in this dispensation? What is the difference between the Holy Spirit and the Spirit of God? How can one distinguish between true and false revelation?
Explore these fascinating topics, plus many more, from the writings of Joseph Fielding Smith compiled by Elder Bruce R. McConkie.
Wonderful books! I highly recommend them.
Be prepared to have all aspects of your life changed, temporally and spiritually. Not just now and the near future, but for eternity. Our beloved prophet definitely had the gift of revelation while delivering these sermons. And, he does it with intelligent language: not to the extent of Elder McConkie, but he conveys the messages as clearly and lovingly as President Kimball. But, very easy to understand when studied prayerfully. This book will set your journey through mortality firmly fixed on eternal life with our Father in Heaven.
The three books in the Doctrines of Salvation series are directed toward a serious student of the Gospel who enjoys pondering the scriptures. These books are excellent. I remember eagerly purchasing and reading from them quite a few years back. It was delightful to find the truths of the gospel expressed and expounded upon so clearly and beautifully and misunderstandings so nicely corrected.
If you want to understand the gospel of Jesus Christ, these are excellent books.
This series of works by Joseph Fielding Smith seemed to be rather confusing and did not line up with the truths of historic Judeo-Christian faith. The teaching that man can become god's, that the God was once a man, of eternal progression, etc. can be found nowhere in the Bible.
This book is excellent. My husband and I have enjoyed reading sections at night and using it for talks and sunday school lessons. It has been a great book to add to our libray, as it's never on the shelf. It has helped me learn more about the Gospel and made it easier to share it with others.

There are people in the world that you meet, and you will never forget. There is something about them that allows them to stand out, be it physical attraction, personality, or genuine love for others. Mary Lou Maulsby is one of those people.
After a rocky start during my time with Mercy Ships, I was sitting in the dining hall eating dinner when this 'little ole lady' came up and greeted me with a smile and a warm, southern accented greeting. Though I had no clue who she was, she knew my name and who I was.
As she walked away, still smiling and with a youthful skip in her steps, I had a lingering feeling that this happy, go-love-'em-all attitude would change in the upcoming days. I couldn't have been more wrong.
This was, and still is Mrs. Mary Lou.
Mary Lou arrived aboard the Anastasis (a now-retired vessel of Mercy Ships) in the summer of 2006 to work in the dining hall. It was there where she met Dr. Gary (a man who helped to show her God's plan) and soon discovered the poorest of the poor, the peoples of Africa.
Upon her return home, she knew that God was calling her back, full-time. So, she officially retired from teaching, sold everything she owned, packed up her one bag of luggage and headed back to Ghana and the Anastasis (after a pit-stop for Gateway, the Mercy Ships training course).
In her life before Mercy Ships, Mary Lou was a biology teacher 'in the ghettos' where she tought public school near Ft. Benning, Georgia for 16 years. She didn't start teaching until the youthful age of 'around 40 of something.' Before her teaching years, she was a mother to a 'plethora of children' (five children total).
In her years of teaching, during the summers, she would take short-term missions trips to Central and South America. She knew for years before coming to Mercy Ships that God was calling her to serve the poorest of the poor. With her age and her children settling into their adult lives, she was able to retire and go full force after the calling of God.
She returned to Mercy Ships, after selling everything, including her car and house, and joined the hospitality department aboard the Anastasis. Throughout the four years she has been with Mercy Ships, she has participated in field services in Ghana, Liberia (where the crew of the Anastasis made the switch to the Africa Mercy), Benin, and Togo.
When a position opened up for the head of the dinning hall, she was the immediate choice. Unfortunately, Mary Lou did not want to lead, but she gave God a chance and 'prayed a fleece,' which God answered in less than a day. So with reluctance and no training, she took the position as director of the dining hall.
She learned all that she needed to know on the spot, through experience and through the team leaders, three college age guys from around the world. This position is the one in which she has held since. It has been a blessing to both crew, visitors and day-volunteers. It will be a great loss to see her leave tomorrow.
Her love and joy will be missed aboard the Africa Mercy. She will be missed, especially by those that worked for and beside her in the dining hall.
When asked what she would take home with her from her experience with Mercy Ships, Mary Lou smiled and shouted "Nothing!" as she threw some gifts into one of two large bags heading back to the states with her.
She then explained how the most valuable thing that she has received from her experience aboard the Anastasis and Africa Mercy has been the relationships that she has made throughout the four years here. She will treasure the people, from her roommates of the 6 berth, 4 and 3 berth rooms which she inhabited before gaining a single room of her own, to the members of the teams in which she had the honor of leading.
She has received many honors in the last couple days aboard the Africa Mercy, as many of the crew and volunteers have poured out their love and their support. Mary Lou is more than a leader on board the ship, she is a spiritual warrior, a mother and a beacon of hope and light to us all. In response to this outpouring of support, she stated that she is honored because of the relationships that God has allowed her to live through.
She stated that she has followed God's call in her life and now he is calling her back to her own family. As she is now getting older in her age (but keeping her youthful spirit) and beginning to forget simple things, she feels it is necessary to spend time with her grandchildren while she still remembers the important things.
Her parting words of wisdom: "Don't play around with Faith."
Mary Lou Maulsby will be much missed aboard the Africa Mercy as God leads her to new adventures in her life.
God Bless and PEACE

Opposites attract, would you agree?
The phrase was the exact title of the feature I once had in Sun Star newspaper... last year. It took me again this long to post about this feature because of endless priorities that never cease to surprise me. Anyway, this contribution that I did for Sun Star is dear to me mainly because (1) I offered the concept and was instantly approved and (2) because black-and-white is my all-time favorite color combination and working on about it is such a gigantic pleasure. Last fall-winter 2014/2015, black and white was one of the trends of the season, and this time for fall-winter 2015/2016, Graphic Black and White in particular, as seen HERE, is again in trend. Scroll down to see the unpublished photos for the black-and-white concept.

How I got into Securityby Bruce Brown | 2 Comments
Martin McKeay over at the Network Security Blog asks "How did you get into Security?" That is a good question. Its something that I've been asked and what I like to ask others in the business.
Up until recently, I've done security my entire adult life very reluctantly. I started off in the military as Security Policemen (now called security forces). I was a security specialist and was groomed into law enforcement. The description sounded like special forces. And even though security forces do some pretty cool stuff its NOT usually doing anything even close to what combat controllers, pararescue, Force Recon, Navy Seals and Delta Force do. Instead its like the Air Force version of infantry (when I was in we even trained with the Army infantry at Ft Dix).
I had about five years learning every aspect of physical security. I later "cross trained" into communications expecting to do some hardcore technical stuff. And I did, but while I wanted Routers I got the help desk and later pure security (firewalls, IDS, C&A packages, COMSEC, EMSEC) a little of everything. My experience in the military made it easier for me to pass the CISSP which covers a little of everything.
These days I teach certification classes and do auditing, policies, consulting as well as certification and accreditations.
2 Comments on How I got into Security
Wat sort of certification you think a person should have to become security analyst. Though i am working with a IT firm, as security engineer.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Spanish actors Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz have joined the ranks of Oscar-winning married couples after tying the knot in the Bahamas earlier this month, according to several celebrity magazines on Tuesday.
The family-only ceremony took place at a friend's house, the magazine reports said. Cruz wore a John Galliano dress. It was not clear when the nuptials occurred.
The actors, each marrying for the first time, started dating in 2007. Cruz, 36, who previously dated Tom Cruise, won an Academy Award in 2009 for her supporting role in "Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Bardem, 41, won his statuette a year earlier for "No Country For Old Men."
They joined a select club of Oscar-winning couples, including Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones, Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh, Joel Coen and Frances McDormand, and songwriters Alan and Marilyn Bergman.

Merida's wallet-friendly line of Matts hardtails has offered riders on a budget 26in-wheeled trail fun for several years now. Last year the company's race team embraced 29ers, but we've had to wait until now for the big-wheelers to filter down to mere mortal level.
Rather than shoehorn the bigger wheels into a tweaked Matts chassis though, Merida's designers started with a blank sheet of paper. The result is the Big.Nine 40.
Frame and equipement: Technoformed, not hydroformed
With its curved, cross-ovalised down tube and teardrop profile top tube, the Big.Nine frame has all the hallmarks of hydroforming – a process that uses high-pressure hydraulic fluid to create complex shapes. It's not hydroformed though – it's Technoformed, Merida's name for their proprietary mechanical tube tweaking process. It's a cheaper, simpler set-up that enables similar results at a lower cost, though Merida admits that tube wall thicknesses – and therefore weights – tend to be larger.
Short chainstays tuck the rear wheel in under the rider, but some nifty crimping keeps mud clearance the right side of sane. There's no tapered head tube – not a surprise at this price – but there is a complete set of rack and mudguard eyelets at the rear. It's a small touch, but one that means the Merida could easily do double duty as a commuter or tourer as well as a weekend trail centre basher.
Pointing it all in the right direction is a Suntour XCM fork with coil sprung internals, 100mm (3.9in) of travel and a lockout switch. There's a preload adjuster, but adjustable rebound damping is conspicuous by its absence. Although the stock damping is okay, we'd happily swap the lockout knob for the ability to tweak rebound. Budget RockShox coil forks offer both. Suntour, are you listening?
We're particularly pleased to see a nine-speed transmission, in place of the cheaper eight-speed alternative that sometimes finds its way on to budget hardtails. Although some riders may sniff at the relatively lowly Shimano Altus rear mech, it shifts just fine. More importantly, the nine-speed cassette gives a decent range with no annoying gaps between gears.
The own-brand finishing kit is all fine and the Promax brakes are reasonable stoppers for the money. Merida's own 29er tyres are fast-rolling and grippy in the dry, which will win them plenty of fair-weather trail centre friends. Show them a trail that's wet, off-camber and greasy though, and they soon lose the plot. If more adventurous riding is on the agenda, they'd be our first candidates for an upgrade.
Ride and handling: slow to accelerate but easy rolling once up to speed
By avoiding the temptation to pander to new riders' expectations, Merida's designers have given the Big.Nine proper, grown-up geometry. Don't expect race bike responses here though – the realities of a budget frame build and components soon make their presence felt.
This is a bike that's at its best on long, sweeping descents. The easy-rolling big wheels and stable geometry don't encourage flamboyant riding – chuck it about and you'll begin to wonder why you bothered. But it's not a problem, because the Big.Nine is just as quick being allowed to roll through, around and over whatever the trail spits in your direction.
The fork manages to take the edge off things without throwing up any nasty surprises, while the big wheel diameter does the rest. It's not such good news on the climbs. Although the Big.Nine 40 only carries a half-pound (0.2kg) weight penalty over an equivalent 26in wheeled bike, that difference lives pretty much entirely in the wheels. Or more precisely, at the outer circumference of the wheels.
Like all budget 29ers, the Big.Nine 40 is a hostage to the laws of physics. With roughly 10 per cent more rim, tyre and inner tube than a 26in bike, the extra mass – which needs to be accelerated both around and along – is enough to make a noticeable difference. Can the average rider feel this difference? Yes, definitely.
The Merida is also noticeably slower to accelerate than a 26in bike. The good news is that, because big wheels roll more easily over obstacles, in practice most of the difference comes out in the wash. The Big.Nine is as fast as a 26in bike up a long, technical climb. It just feels slower. And it's this factor, ultimately, that'll determine whether the Merida is right for you.
As budget 29ers go, it's a good 'un, with no glaringly obvious spec gotchas, decent geometry and a fair price. It's just not as much fun to ride as an equivalently specced bike with smaller wheels. Blame Newton for that…

|cassandra 1.0.8 memory usage
|Thu, 11 Oct 2012 06:04:27 GMT
Hi guys, I am running a mini cluster with 6 nodes, recently we see very frequent ParNewGC on two nodes. It takes 200 - 800 ms on average, sometimes it takes 5 seconds. You know, hte ParNewGC is stop-of-wolrd GC and our client throws SocketTimeoutException every 3 minutes. I checked the load, it seems well balanced, and the two nodes are running on the same hardware: 2 * 4 cores xeon with 16G RAM, we give cassandrda 4G heap, including 800MB young generation. We did not see any swap usage during the GC, any idea about this? Then I took a heap dump, it shows that 5 instances of JmxMBeanServer holds 500MB memory and most of the referenced objects are JMX mbean related, it's kind of wired to me and looks like a memory leak. -- Thanks & Regards, Daniel

The past couple of weeks have been quite eventful. Please forgive my blog-neglect! The prodigal son returned from Uganda. We went to our annual vacation at the lake. Same son got engaged. Yes, you read correctly. The young man popped the question.
We had the pleasure of meeting the parents of the Bride-to-Be when they joined us at the lake for a few days and I was suprised when her mom presented me with one of the most thoughtful gifts I've ever received.
My blog made into a cookbook!
Tastebook, I learned, was the tool that helped make the task a little easier. I wanted to share this with you because I'm certain many of you have family recipe collections you would probably love to organize in such a beautiful way. I know how I felt when this was handed to me. My daughter immediately said "I want a copy!" I've already used it a couple of times. So much easier than having my laptop in the kitchen. It's a useful treasure, but most of all I'll never forget the gesture of friendship and thoughtfulness with which it was compiled and given.

I know, I know... I said yesterday that I was done with US Open posts after showing you pics of uberbbabe Camilla Belle in that stands at the event, but then I ran across these photos of Blake Lively taking in the action and since Blake Lively is both gorgeous as well as a bit nipply here I figured one more post on the event wouldn't hurt. You just don't get this kind of coverage of sporting events from other media outlets... On a totally unrelated note, I saw a story about the owner of the Pacers dying and they called him a shopping mall magnate. How does one get to be called a 'magnate' anyway? From now on I want to be called a 'sports and babe blog magnate'. Carry on...
Blake Lively was also at the US Open, was chilly, horny

The Skin Cancer Foundation Dispels Common Tanning Excuse
Nearly 30 million Americans who visit tanning salons each year may do so because they believe they look better with a tan. In fact, they are putting themselves at risk for skin cancer and premature skin aging. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a proven human carcinogen, and is linked with a higher risk of all forms of skin cancer, including potentially deadly melanoma, the most common form of cancer among young adults ages 25-29 years old.
Multiple reports have documented the health risks associated with using UV-emitting tanning devices. With the help of this research, The Skin Cancer Foundation is dispelling some common tanning excuses.
via The Skin Cancer Foundation – Winter Indoor Tanners Beware | Tanning.
