I tell my students that learning from others' response to our writing is essential, but following my own advice isn't always easy.
Once I showed a book proposal on family life that I had written to my husband. I had poured energy and creativity into the proposal and had high hopes that I would land a contract with it.
My husband wasn't so sure. "I think it's entertaining and easy to follow," he said. "But--like home videos--I think it would only be interesting to us."
I grabbed the pages from him and sputtered inside, "What does he know? Pennsylvania Township News and Gravel Today are his main reading material. He never even reads for pleasure."
Imagine my consternation three months later when the manuscript was returned. The editor's comment: This well-written manuscript is entertaing and easy to follow but probably not relevant enough to anyone outside your family..."
My husband could have saved the editor the time, and saved me the rejection--if I'd listened.
To be honest, I think it's difficult to find the right balance. If I don't think about my reader, I won't write material worth reading. If I think too much about what my reader needs or want, I get writing paralysis.
How do you deal with this quandary?

I think it all boils down to your goals of writing...are they to be published? If so, then remembering your audience is critical. And finding the right venue for your point of view is helpful. Say, for example, writing an article about interesting people who compost their garbage (moi!) might belong in Organic Gardening, rather than Parenting Teenagers. But if you're writing for yourself--journaling or as a legacy for your grandchildren--then forget the audience! Just go write!

Here's the final song from their set, Common People, which at the time had just gone to number two in the singles chart. The little speech Jarvis gave at the beginning of this video making a big impression on me as an impressionable teenager and I've never forgotten it.

Microbial plankton response to resource limitation: insights from the community structure and seston stoichiometry in Florida Bay, USA
Peter J. Lavrentyev1,*,**, Harvey A. Bootsma1,***, Thomas H. Johengen1, Joann F. Cavaletto2, Wayne S. Gardner2,**
Present addresses:

***SADC / GEF Lake Malawi / Nyasa Biodiversity Conservation Project, PO Box 311, Salima, Malawi
Concentrations of dissolved and particulate nutrients, chlorophyll, and microorganisms (0.01 to 200 µm) were simultaneously measured during a 1 d survey of 12 stations in Florida Bay, USA, to characterize the microbial plankton community with respect to resource limitation. Three distinct types of trophic conditions, reflected in seston elemental stoichiometry and community structure, were identified within the bay. The first type, characteristic of the isolated eastern region, had low nutrient concentrations, imbalanced stoichiometry, and small microbial biomass with a large proportion of bacteria. The microbial community in this region was characterized by weak relationships between microzooplankton and phytoplankton and the predominance of mixotrophic taxa and the autotrophic ciliate Mesodinium rubrum. The second type, found in the north-central region influenced by Taylor Slough inflow, had elevated nutrient concentrations, elemental stoichiometry skewed toward N, and high turbidity. Under these conditions, the picocyanobacterium Synechococcus formed a dense bloom and coincided with an abundant, multi-step microbial food web. Finally, at the boundary with the Gulf of Mexico, low concentrations of nutrients were balanced at approximately the Redfield ratio and supported nanophytoplankton that were tightly correlated with microzooplankton. These data are consistent with the notion of P limitation in Florida Bay but also demonstrate that Si, light, and N may be co-limiting to phytoplankton in the eastern, north-central, and western boundary regions, respectively. Our findings suggest that multiple resource gradients, in conjunction with microbial food web processes, are important factors determining the plankton community structure in Florida Bay and should be considered in studies on ecological disturbances.

Blogs may be started for pleasure or for purely business purposes. Any way you slice it, a blog is your personal refuge. No matter your reasons for running a blog, you want to make sure you are doing it correctly so you get people to visit your site. In the following article, you will find some great tips on having a successful blog.
Post content on your blog often. New content that is fresh and relevant is what will attract and retain your audience. If you do not update your blog very often, internet users will not have any reason to revisit it. A regular, daily blog post is a good goal to give yourself.
Making comments on other blogs in your niche, is a good way of getting new visitors to your own blog. Google Reader allows you to organize your blogs by folder. Make a folder for the blogs you most want to follow so that you can find them when you want them. Comment on these regularly, when there is something you want to divulge.
Posts should be concise and clear. Long wordy blogs will turn off readers. Blog readers are less concerned about mundane details and other unnecessary information. In other words, focus on the meat of the post, not the garnish.
Frequently post new content. This will keep readers coming back to read your new posts because they will be interested. The largest and most popular blogs add daily posts. Don't let this requirement overwhelm you. If you want, you can write several weeks' worth of material before opening your blog to the public so that you'll have material to post if you get stuck. This will give you posts that you can use to fill the gaps when you are having trouble.
Add interest to your posts with images. Have you heard people say that pictures sometimes can get your point across better than words? This saying holds true, even in the blogosphere. Images do display a lot more information than a bunch of words. For this reason, you should include as many images as you can within your blog.
Don't shy away from using lists within blog posts. Regardless of the topic you're writing about, utilizing lists is of importance for blogs. Lists provide a quick touchstone for your readers to determine if your content pertains to them.
It's helpful to allow your visitors to post in your blog. This helps you build up connections with other bloggers, which is a helpful tool. Don't underestimate the importance of making connections with other bloggers. In addition, guest blogging helps build link connections for both sites: they post on your blog, you post on theirs, and you both have fresh content from a new perspective and a backlink to your respective sites.
Perform routine upkeep on your blog. This simply means performing the regular maintenance a blog page requires for smooth operation and posting highly interesting, updated content. This will keep visitors interested and make sure that your blog is in good working order.
Make sure to post content regularly to keep your readers coming in. The top blogs post many times each day! If you can't imagine maintaining that pace, then pre-write several weeks' worth of content. This helps fill the gaps if you find you are having troubles coming up with something worthwhile to post.
Patience is one of the most important parts of growing your list of readers. Even with the best advertising and link building campaign out there, it's going to take a bit of time for readers to find your blog. Until your blog has a good amount of content, chances are your audience will stay smaller. You create more content as time goes on which will draw more and more readers.
Include lists in your blog where appropriate. Regardless of the topic you're writing about, utilizing lists is of importance for blogs. By incorporating lists into your blog, you allow readers to quickly find relevant information.
If you are writing for your own blog, keep the style of your writing informal and captivating. Blogs are meant to be entertaining and light. Treat the blog as an entertaining social media vehicle. This is vital to your success as a blogger. If you have fun and treat readers as equals rather than writing formally, readers will feel a connection to you and return to your blog.
Don't forget about the logistics. Stay on top of everything from the content and style of your blog to its underlying technical framework. This will ensure that your readers have easy access to your site and will keep them coming back.
Select key phrases for your blogging search engine optimization strategy that are unique and unlikely to be used by your competition. Choosing the same keywords that are commonly used will make your article hard to find. If you hope to have a lot of visitors, be a little different.
Start developing your blog's mailing list as early as possible. The sooner you start the list, the more time it will have to grow. This list will help you increase your revenue as time goes on. Not starting a mailing list right away can be costly.
Promote your blog through social media outlets, but do not go overboard. People will quickly learn to ignore your tweets if they always just link back to your website. Balance the links with great content that represents you well and keeps readers interested.
Blogging is an informal medium, so write accordingly. A blog should be fun and social. Treat the blog as an entertaining social media vehicle. This is vital to your success as a blogger. The readers of your blog require a connection that is mostly informal and fun so they desire to visit your blog again and again.
If you want to add visitors, using social media to promote your blog is a plus. Not sharing your blog on social networking sites significantly reduces the accessibility and reach of your blog. You should announce new posts on sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
Blog writing is not effective if you are just writing streams of paragraphs. Conduct plenty of research so that your blog postings are all informative and intelligent. Lots of content on the wrong topic is basically useless. Remember always that the key to your blogs success is the content.
You should consider yourself to be an expert on the topic you are blog posting about before you write about it. You run the risk of including false or inaccurate information if you do not obtain a sufficient level of knowledge regarding the topic before you start writing. You need sufficient expertise on a topic to intelligently write or post about it.
The longer your posts are, the more you need to make sure that you are separating the article appropriately, and using subheadings. This will give you a wider viewership and make your blog easier to read and digest. This simple step will make it easier for you to expand your content and bring your blogging to the next level.
Actively encourage readers to comment on your posts. Commenting helps readers feel more actively engaged with you and your blog. Respond to reader comments as much as possible. This kind of interaction encourages your readers to return and promotes an ongoing conversation regarding the subject matter about which you write.
Do excellent research on every topic you are planning to blog about. By not having enough expertise on the topic, you may give readers false information. A deep understanding of your topics is also crucial to your ability to confidently interact with readers.
Set up your "Contact Me" page right away. This will permit visitors to post questions, or provide you with suggestions. You simply cannot know for certain who is reading the posts you make; some of your readers may have extremely valuable insights. You can only tap into them if you provide a way for them to get in touch with you.
Figure out what you need or want from your blog before beginning it. Are you looking to become someone that people view as skilled in a certain field? Maybe, instead, you want to earn money. Perhaps you have a lot of goals for yourself. Understand what those goals are and build your blog accordingly.
Follow bloggers that are also in your niche so that you are able to offer a better experience. You need to compete with them so pay attention to their techniques. Don't forget that they will be checking out your blog, too.
Setting up a "contact me" page is very important. Make it clear how people can contact you by setting up a separate "contact me" page. Your readers can come from anywhere, and you may be surprised by the useful feedback that you will receive if you let them contact you.
Add a survey or poll to your blog. This will increase your traffic, and give visitors a fun way to interact with the you. Share the results along with your observations about the outcomes. Use the information to make your blog more interesting to readers.
Follow bloggers that are also in your niche so that you are able to offer a better experience. You are competing with them for readers, so it's important to have an idea of what they are doing with their blogs. Be mindful of the fact that they'll be investigating your blog for mutual reasons.
Learn how to use tabbed zones for any recommend articles you have. Another spot in which to place such content is immediately before your sidebar. You can customize a tabbed zone so that it contains the articles that you view to be most important, neatly organized into categories. This allows readers to see what the main topics of the website are, increasing the usability of your blog.
Try to keep your blog posts focused to one topic. If you make an attempt to write about a million different subjects in every blog post, it's going to be hard for people to follow. This is a simple rule of thumb that can help you maintain your appeal to visitors.
News Stories
Try to write about topics that will always be in demand. It is a good idea to blog about ideas that are going to be in demand for years to come, as this will cause the greatest amount of traffic to your blog in the larger scale of things.
If you are searching for ways to generate new blog content, look to current news stories to use as exciting, pertinent information. Try to locate news stories which are relevant to your blog's niche. One example would be if you your blog is about snowboarding, you can post the news about a major competition or about the one that was held in your area. Your readers will appreciate the fresh information.
Remember, blogging is a very social business. Because of this, you must be accessible to your readers. You should also actively network with other bloggers in your niche. You can't just sit around and expect success. For your blog to be successful, you need to be the one to make it happen.
Choose a theme that is SEO friendly. This will boost your search engine rank and leave you with a website which is quick to load and easy to use. Everything is even more fast-paced in today's world, waiting around for graphics and plug-ins to load will not be something your readers want to do. They'll go back to the search engine and be at a faster blog before you know it.
If you can afford it, you should try to attend a blogging conference or two. These conferences are packed with helpful information and tips to help you become a great blogger. You can also use the opportunity presented by these conferences to connect socially with successful bloggers. This can inspire you to improve your own performance.
As you've read, blogging is fairly simple, it just requires dedication to work and some easy tricks. Use what you have learned here to set you on the path to reaching your goals. Your final destination is your decision.
Strategically place short bits of relevant content up close to your page's link bar. Link bar levels are popular hotspots. Include the total number of your subscribers. Link bars are not as noticeable as the beginning or end of a post, but use it for a subscription aid.

Because I dont want to spend the money for add-on's, I wondered if I could put some tuned elements in paralell.
The first experiment was to add 6m. The resonator was made from two Al pipes and worked excellent for more than a year.
Therefore, I stepped to "Phase Two" of the project, adding 17m band and 80m band.
The resonators was from a discontinued antenna.
From left to right: Main antenna>6m resonator>17m resonator
The 80m resonator clipped on the main resonator.
80m resonator - detail
First impressions:
-The SWR is excellent in 17m band, covering the whole band with less than 1,7:1. Some USA stations heard this evening (15:00 UTC, 8 April 2018)
-The SWR in 80m is 1,5:1 between 3700 kHz - 3730 kHz. A lot or Russian stations and weak YO stations. No good NVIS despite the resonator being horizontal!

The recent congressional hearings regarding Apple's tax planning strategies highlighted some of the methods the company is using to reduce its federal tax burden. Last year, a story in the New York Times focused on the company's strategy for avoiding taxes in California and several other states.
Some lawmakers have suggested that the first step toward significant tax reform ought to begin with eliminating tax planning strategies that exploit tax loopholes.
Achieving this by adopting a codified definition of "economic substance" is not a new idea. Tucked away in the provisions of the 2010 Revenue Reconciliation Act or so-called "Obamacare" legislation in 2010 was a provision aimed at codifying the common-law doctrine of economic substance. The resulting provision establishes a two-part test for determining when a transaction has economic substance, and it carries substantial new penalties for transactions that fail to meet the test.
Upon enactment, it was unclear what impact the federal codification of economic substance might have on the states, which vary widely in applying the doctrine to combat certain corporate structures that have resulted in tax benefits. But now it appears that more states are following the federal government's example by codifying their own economic substance tests.
A recent case in Massachusetts illustrates the potential pitfalls of adopting a state tax planning strategy that can fall prey to a state sham transaction common law doctrine or statute. In Massachusetts Appellate Board case, Allied Domecq v. Comm. of Rev.,No. C282807 (http://www.mass.gov/anf/docs/atb/2013/13p352.doc) the parent company of a subsidiary located in Massachusetts attempted to establish nexus in the state so that its subsidiary could share in its corporate losses. However,The Board labeled this a "sham," finding no economic substance to the transaction.
We asked Brett Carter, a partner in the Nashville office of Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP, about the issues surrounding state codification of economic substance policy.
BBNA: Which states have codified their economic substance policy?
Carter: Wisconsin, Ohio, California, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Washington and North Carolina. Some states, such as South Carolina and Colorado have adopted federal income tax principles and will now be able to rely on the codification of the federal economic substance doctrine..
BBNA: Have these states adopted a relatively uniform test for economic substance or do their approaches vary?
Carter: No. The codification of the economic substance doctrine varies depending on the types of transactions subject to the doctrine, the factors used to determine whether a transaction has adequate substance, which party will bear the burden of proof to establish whether the applicable economic substance standard has been met, and what the burden of proof is (i.e. clear and convincing or preponderance).
BBNA: Have any states adopted an approach that the federal government might learn from?
Carter: I'm not sure that the Federal government can learn from any of the state statutes, except that certainty in definitions is important. With respect to the federal statutes' use of the term "substantial," there should be some attention paid to that by Congress, as that term invites uncertainty to a statute that should be clarifying the standard. In the end, economic substance is inherently a slippery slope, so it is not surprising that the federal codification does not answer all the questions that taxpayers have.
BBNA: What are some advantages or disadvantages to operating in a state that has codified its economic substance policy?
Carter: Economic substance is, at some level, fraught with peril because there are so many variants of the doctrine – whether a business purpose is enough or whether you need only show a profit in a transaction. Under the common law, taxing authorities will use the variation of the doctrine that is most favorable to the state, and that may or may not have been the variation of the doctrine that was used by the taxpayer in vetting the transaction on the front end. Thus, a codified economic substance doctrine allows taxpayers to have some level of certainty of what they have to prove to defend a transaction or structure.
BBNA: Do you believe that federal legislation is necessary to ensure that the states adhere to a uniform standard for determining economic substance?
Carter: If the adoption of economic substance statutes was more widespread among the states, federal legislation to address uniformity and burden of proof would be helpful for taxpayers. However, most states have not codified the economic substance doctrine. Thus, federal legislation may only encourage states to rely on this doctrine more often.
BBNA: How will codification of economic substance policy affect the planning and litigation of such so-called "sham" transactions, in which a company manipulates economic substance to achieve a tax benefit?
Carter: The real challenge for taxpayers in the codification of economic substance is the burden of proof. The standards vary but that has been the case under the common law economic substance doctrine. With the heightened burden of proof in some states, this makes it even more challenging for taxpayers with legitimate and thoughtfully structured transactions. Going to court is difficult enough without having to prove the case by "clear and convincing evidence."

Name plates can be extremely crucial items in any organization. By classification, name plates are plates made from wood, plastic or any other solid fabric on which one's name is printed. They're normally installed on a door or placed on desk, in that case they'll be labeled desk plates or door plates, respectively. The principle reason for utilizing name plates is for identification. For instance, in an office environment, one would need the doors of each employee to possess such name plates so as to make it less complicated to identify them by someone coming to the workplace the first time.
As has been mentioned previously, the key use of name plates is as a instrument for identification reasons. Nonetheless, there are additional auxiliary purposes of name plates, and it is these benefits which evaluate what form of name plates you acquire, as well as where you obtain them from. Generally, the two main things which one thinks about when obtaining name plates are the material from which they're made, and the quality of the craftsmanship in making the name plates. This means that when obtaining name plates, it's never wise to just acquire any because of benefit; you have to invest some time selecting one in order to come up with the most effective.
In terms of materials, one can choose name plates produced from many components for example metal, wood, plastic and a lot more unique elements like stone. Every one of these features its own pros and cons, and it is often a good idea to thoroughly think about the benefits of each before you buy any specific kind of substance. For example, metal name plates are incredibly strong, and will possibly last you for life. They are therefore normally the best choice of element for folks seeking name plates that are long lasting and which will not break in the near future.
Alternatively, wood may endure several complications, particularly if not looked after well. Usually, wooden name plates when not manufactured properly would be vulnerable to stuff like humidity and heat, and you might find that eventually, they often warp and become damaged. Which means when buying poor quality wooden name plates, you can be assured that you may have to replace them at some point in time. The only way to prevent this is by obtaining wooden name plates that are well-built.
At the end of the day, the material from which you acquire the name plates has a wide variety of consequences on your experiences with the name plates. Even so, one thing which usually remains consistent is that if you do not choose one which has been made with top quality in mind, it doesn't matter what material it has been made of. Low quality name plates will either look bad or not last as long as expected. Thus, before you check out the substance, make sure that the place you are buying the name plates from keeps very good quality in view.

Year 9 EMPOWER Day Visit to Bognor Regis/
On Friday 12th May, the whole of year nine embarked on a day trip to the seaside as part of their current geography topic – Coasts. With three full coaches of students, together with thirteen teachers we set off under cloudy skies and it wasn't long before we had to stop at the services on the A3 due to somebody already needing the toilet. However, this was a welcome break as both students and teachers were able to stretch their legs, buy refreshments and get some fresh air.
On arrival in Bognor, students had five minutes on the beach before they were each given a booklet and set off to do their different activities – Coastal defences with Mr Hudson, History of Bognor with Mr McIntyre and Coastal Poetry with Mr Kelly.
A respite in the weather we thought as blue skies appeared and the sun came out. By this time everyone was hungry and the queue for fish and chips outside the fish and chip shop next to the pier was nearing fifty or sixty.
After half an hour of rain, the sun really came out and everybody had a great time on the beach. Students played Frisbee, went for a paddle or just soaked up the sun as well as buying ice-creams from the local beach café. At 4pm we all got on the coaches and headed back to London. On the journey home, some girls sang, some slept after a really enjoyable day at the seaside.
Mr McIntyre

Iron Man arrives, and the two banter about Tony's political position as Baron, before talk turns to Jim's gut feeling over the reasoning behind the duel. Tony suspects Kingpin, but Jim is unsure. They then discuss vigilantes in Technopolis including Spyder-Man and Radar Devil. Iron Man suggests they should be arrested, but informs War Machine that he's off to meet with Spyder-Man anyway.
Meanwhile, Iron Man's brother, Arno, meets with Wilson Fisk at Stark Tower and assesses the valuable data compiled by having paid Titanium Man to fight War Machine. The Kingpin assures Arno that Titanium Man's silence has been bought and that fail-safes are in place.
Elsewhere in the city, Spyder-Man is late for work as he heads to his planned meeting with Iron Man. He reveals himself to be Peter Urich and plans to tell Tony that he's uncovered the truth about that which ails Technopolis, forcing her citizens to wear armor just to survive.

By BACH Public AffairsJanuary 26, 2018
FORT CAMPBELL, Kentucky. -- Blanchfield Army Community Hospital leadership created a Saturday make-up appointment opportunity, seeing nearly 300 patients after the winter storm in January. BACH personnel continue to reschedule appointments for beneficiaries, whose outpatient appointments were canceled after road conditions limited activity on Fort Campbell to essential personnel only, Jan. 12 and 16.
"We never want to inconvenience our patients by canceling our outpatient appointments, but we have to consider the safety of everyone involved when we experience weather-related conditions like we experienced over the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend and early into the week," said Col. Anthony McQueen, hospital commander. "Safety is always our number one priority for our patients and staff. When Fort Campbell is open to mission essential personnel only, we have to weigh the risk of opening our services and determine if it is safe and how it might impact the remainder of the community, as they are busy attempting to make the roads safe for all to travel."
Once garrison officials determined it was safe to resume normal operations on post Wednesday, Jan.
17, scheduling officials from the hospital began contacting beneficiaries to get their primary and
specialty care appointments rescheduled. The first appointments were rescheduled the following
Saturday for beneficiaries after the hospital received permission to open outpatient services
outside of normal operating hours.
"We all were affected in some way by the latest winter storm," said Col. Troy Prairie, chief of BACH's Primary Care Services. "Team members from each of our patient-centered medical homes in Air
Assault, Byrd Family, Gold, Screaming Eagle and Young Eagle Medical Homes volunteered to return to work Saturday to support individuals whose appointments were impacted by the weather-related
Primary care and some specialty care services, like Women's Health and surgical services,
recaptured nearly 300 appointments that Saturday. According to Capt. Tyler Garrett, a BACH primary care administrator, 85 percent of the scheduled appointments missed were recouped and patients were grateful to receive a call to learn about the opportunity to reschedule their appointment so quickly. The remaining primary care appointments will be fit into the hospital's existing scheduling system.
"Our medical team is truly comprised of professional and compassionate personnel. Patients must
know they are valued and appreciated when they see providers and support personnel giving up their weekend to return to work for the sake of medically caring for our patient population," McQueen said.
Individuals can call the hospital's appointment line at 270-798-4677 or 931-431-4677 to reschedule
their primary care appointment if they missed the call to reschedule their appointment. Patients
who missed a specialty care appointment, like Women's Health, Optometry, or Physical Therapy,
should contact their specialty care clinic to reschedule if they have not yet been contacted.
Contact information for specialty clinics can be found on the hospital website under the Healthcare
Services tab at http://blanchfield.amedd.army.mil/.

Boehner: Ryan will get "support he is looking for"
Speaker of the House Boehner says Rep. Ryan will ''get the support he is looking for,'' to become Speaker. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) STORY: U.S. House Speaker John Boehner said Rep. Paul Ryan will get "the support he is looking for," to become the next Speaker. The House has set Oct. 28 as the date for House Republicans to select their nominee for his replacement, with the full chamber voting on Oct. 29, Republican House Speaker John Boehner is due to retire from Congress on Oct. 30. Ryan, the party's 2012 vice presidential candidate, said on Tuesday he would consider becoming speaker, but only if fractious Republicans unite behind him, among other conditions. He gave Republicans until week's end to decide. Some of his terms could anger the conservative bloc that badgered Boehner until he said last month he would retire. The bloc then opposed House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who bowed out of the race to replace Boehner. The Republicans' leadership turmoil comes ahead of key deadlines facing Congress. On Nov. 3, the United States will reach its debt limit and on Dec. 11, the current federal budget to fund the government expires.
