Secrets Your Peers Won't Let You Know About Seo
It could seem like the world is against you when confronted with SEO. It appears as if there is an overwhelming amount of information that you should know. The information provided in the following paragraphs will help you begin.
Header tags are essential to work with. Sometimes these headers might be too large, but you should use CSS to change the dimensions. Search engine listings use the headers to rank websites. These tags are supposed to underscore tips about your offerings so that you can cause search engines to adopt notice.
Employing a robots.txt file with your root directory will help you to tuck away content might hurt your quest engine ranking. txt file that is put into the root's directory. This can keep search engines like google from gaining access to the files you decide on to never display.
Authoring your blog and commenting on other blogs related to your website's niche could be a good SEO technique. Search engines are drawn to blogs with innovative content and specific information. If you need a high internet search engine ranking, backlinks are really important.
Never create the mistake of trying to stuff lots of keywords to your own site. The website must have around twelve approximately keywords or key phrases that will tell people what your site is for.
Use analyzing tools to help you figure out the phrase that provide you with by far the most traffic.
You might like to try starting a podcast. Podcasts are visual or audio recordings, or sometimes streamed live, which provide the individual important info around the topics you want to cover in the show. Podcasts have become very popular with both users and webmasters. You simply need to grab an online cam and microphone, and begin recording. Use descriptions of your own podcast to assist search engines like google recognize them.
Although your internet site might be great, it isn't perfect. After you accept this, and begin to find any flaws within your design, you can improve upon them and maximize your business output. There is always something that may be improved so that you can help in keeping a customer's interest and bring new ones in.
Using Javascript from the pages of your site is fine, but don't expect every one of the google search spiders to respond to it. It's completely your selection as webmaster if you should use Java, but know that this seriously affects how crawlers visit your website.
Popular browsers offer free local listings, which can certainly help get the name available. These free services provide you methods to make your site more visible, attracting more visitors. Avoid dismissing free venues for publicity.
Anchor text is vital on your own site. Refrain from using certain words, since they're not helpful with SEO. A Search Engine Optimization specialist can help you to find the perfect anchor-text to your situation.
To sum up you should do all that one could to discover search engine optimization. The information in this post will show you what you need to know to begin. Take everything you have discovered and put it into action so you can reach the success you desire.

I AM, the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; you shall have no other gods before Me.
You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and the fourth generation of those who reject Me, but showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those who love Me and keep My commandments. Exodus 20:1-6 (NRSV)
The Ten Commandments are about healthy relationships and safe boundaries. The purpose of the Law is to maintain harmony and order and keep our lives productive and safe. It is God's will for us to have a right relationship with Him and with those in the world around us. The first three Commandments have to do with our relationship and our boundaries with God. The final seven have to do with our relationships and boundaries with others- rules for harmonious society.
Genesis 1:1 introduces us to not only our journey in Scripture, but to the Source of everything: In the beginning, God. John 1:1-5 expands upon that beginning, letting us know that Jesus is the Eternal Life and Light and Hope.
In the First Commandment as in Genesis 1:1, and in the introduction to the Gospel of John, we are reminded Who God is. This revelation about the being and nature of God is important for us to bear in mind. He is not a material object. He is not someone or something we can dismiss or ignore. We may choose not to believe in God, but God is real and active as He has been and will be throughout all of time. He is the One from Whom all creation springs forth.
Because God is God, He commands certain respect and exclusivities from us.
Idolatry is not confined to golden calves or various venerated man-made icons. We can worship at the altar of money, or status, or attention, or pleasure. We can set up mortal people as idols, especially ourselves.
There are some that claim that the ultimate idolatry- the sin of the Garden if you will- is the condition of pride. Instead of surrendering the petition of the Lord's Prayer, "thy will be done," in our own weakness and arrogance we insist that, "my will be done." It's the rebellion of man that is old as time, and that we struggle with daily as long as we have breath and walk this earth. Pride is the sin of Eve believing the serpent when he tempts her with, "If you eat of it… you will be like God." (Genesis 3:4-5) We all know how that one turned out.
For our own good, God set a boundary around worship. In the First Commandment, He says to us, "Worship Me only, because I made you, I am your Creator, and I have only good for you in My heart." When we worship God and put Him first, our lives reflect His sovereignty. The Law shows us the way to run toward Jesus and the Gospel- so that His light and love in the Holy Spirit are free to flow in and through us.

Oct. 25, 2011 | Alameda County Supervisor Nate Miley is making the rounds in Pleasanton like a grand dame at the debutante ball, but one Tri-Valley reporter took offense to a $45-per-person lunch address he is slated to give Wednesday at the Sheraton in Pleasanton.
The speech is billed as a sort of introduction to his new constituents in Pleasanton, who were recently shifted into Miley's predominately Oakland-centric district. The luncheon is sponsored by the Pleasanton Chamber of Commerce.
A reporter from Pleasanton Weekly, though, complained of the high ticket cost for an event possibly of great civic importance to the area's residents. Miley is scheduled to lay out his vision for the county and Pleasanton in the address. The chamber said the media is welcome as long as they don't saddle up to the buffet table.
Although, the speech is not Miley's first appearance in Pleasanton since becoming their supervisor (he held a round table discussion two weeks ago at the city's public library), but the local chambers securing exclusivity of public official's time for a price is not uncommon.
Alice Lai-Bitker, a former county supervisor gave her final state of the county address last year for a price at a San Leandro Chamber of Commerce luncheon. There was no indication Lai-Bitker ever gave the same address at a free public event.
For local chamber of commerce's to charge a fee featuring a public official offer his or her general thoughts on varied subjects is one thing, but trumpeting something of high public import like the "state of the county or state or a community's introduction to a new public official is blatant pay-to-listen politics and should make you wonder whether these organizations value business leaders in spite of the customers they hope to entice.
UPDATE: Miley isn't the only local official participating in charging citizens a fee to hear the state of the communities. For $65 residents of Southern Alameda County can listen to Senate Majority Leader Ellen Corbett and Assemblyman Bob Wieckowski give the "state of the state" tomorrow afternoon. The event is sponsored by the Fremont, Milpitas and Union City Chambers of Commerce.

I want to get some people's opinion about certain aspects of Leave No Trace. Here's a link to Yosemite Wilderness regulations for reference. I mostly follow the rules, but re-reading them now I see some that I don't follow so closely.
"Choose a previously impacted campsite...
I guess I don't really follow this rule. I agree that if you find a previously impacted site, it's better to camp on it than next to it. However, I prefer to steer clear of them altogether.
...at least 100 feet (30 meters/40 paces) from any water source or trail."
I usually follow this one. On my last trip, two of our more remote campsites ended up being about 50 feet from small trickles of water. What do people think: bad idea?
"Carry out all trash. Do not burn or bury toilet paper or trash."
I follow this one carefully when it comes to my own trash. However, there are practical limits when it comes to other people's trash. I've carried balloons, banana peels, even a small can or two. At the very bottom of the Tuolumne River trail, my group found some large-ish, thoroughly rusted steel cans wedged under rocks. Presumably they'd been brought in with the aid of pack animals. We chose not to haul them 3600 feet up to White Wolf, our destination for the next day. The biggest piece of wilderness trash that I've personally seen was an unwashed skillet, 10 inches across if not larger, in Marble Mountain Wilderness. Again, nobody in my party wanted to carry it.
"Proper food storage is mandatory."
Don't say this too loudly, but I've gotten away with hanging small quantities of "smellables" in more-remote areas of Yosemite when they didn't fit in my bear can. This is not a recommendation in general, and a definite no-no in heavily used areas, but I wanted to hear what other people have done.

"Not wanting to appear judgmental, we mistakenly try to make biblical truth fit the culture around us." A.W. Tozer
What an astounding statement made by the Rev. A.W. Tozer regarding the Christian Church. Especially so, considering Rev. Tozer passed away in 1963!
We can only imagine what he would think were he alive today, seeing as how the Church has wandered so much further into compromise and the worldliness which he foresaw as the Church's greatest impending threat of his time.
To be sure, no one wants to hear about subjects that prick the heart, yet it is necessary to bring them to light. God has always demanded that His truths be shouted from the roof tops! If you doubt this, might I suggest a cursory read through the Major Prophets of the Bible?
With a keen awareness of how much emphasis is put upon blending in with society, the Church bends, twists, and does back flips all in the name of relevancy so that she may maintain some semblance of importance to a culture largely devoid of the knowledge of God. All in the name of not wanting to be seen as judgmental, of course.
Isn't it strange that for nearly 2000 years the Church did not concern itself with how the outside world perceived it, while now the opposite is true? For nearly twenty centuries the focus of the Church was on faithfulness to God. Now…not so much.
This is a travesty unlike anything we have seen in recent times. For the last 50-75 years the Church has been so consumed with the process of reinventing itself in order to become more like the world, that for all intents and purposes she has ceased to be The Church.
Indeed, despite the command to come out of the world, the Church has rebranded itself to be nearly indistinguishable from the world. And this world is suffering greatly because of it.
It is no different than taking the square peg and driving it into a round hole. On the surface,these are not a match for each other. However, if you get a bigger hammer and drive the peg harder, eventually some semblance of "fit" comes into being. It isn't pretty, and a keen eye will certainly notice that something is amiss with this "match". But hey, we made it work!
Oh, for certain it is religious, but it is an anemic counterfeit of the once powerful Church that was founded upon the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Having prostituted itself with erroneous doctrine that tickles the hearers ear, it is unable or unwilling to stand solely upon the truth of God's Word.
The Word, after all, is offensive to the masses. It always has been.
On that note, let anyone dare bring to light the current state of backslidden Christianity, and he will soon find himself the target of legions of modernist churchmen and liberal theologians who think that God has instituted a new plan for the Church of today.
If anyone dare mention the deplorable condition of this Laodicean Church they are immediately branded as divisive, judgmental, a bigot, and a host of other not so pleasant names.
I say this with all sincerity, but in case you haven't noticed, the Church is under an attack of biblical proportions. No longer is the Bible considered the standard for living. No indeed, that antiquated way of thinking has been replaced with an "anything goes" mindset.
And I'm referring to the Church, not the world!
Our churches no longer proclaim the Word of God, but rather a fashionable "gospel light" that is designed to be easy on the ears and even easier on the conscience. Can't have the Word bringing conviction to our unregenerate hearts, now can we? No indeed, not if we are to become "one" with our culture.
How in the world did things get this way? Well, the prophet Isiah had a pretty good idea what contributed to the downfall of Israel, and I think it sums up the condition of the Church as well.
There is no one who calls upon your name, who rouses himself to take hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us, and have made us melt in the hand of our iniquities. Isaiah 64:7
When people, God's people, fail to call upon Him the end result is what you see all around you. The Church has a form of Godliness, but lacks the power of God to do the work it has been called to do. Why does the Church not rouse itself from its slumber and call upon the name of the Lord? Read on for the answer!
Just as Paul prophesied, society, and that includes the Church, has succumbed to the Spirit of the age.
"For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions," 2 Timothy 4:3 ESV
No longer do men of God stand boldly in their pulpits, armed with the Sword of the Spirit and the unadulterated Word of God. No, our pulpits are manned by hirelings who have not come prepared to do battle, but instead have armed themselves with the latest gimmickry in order to appease the masses who are clamoring for yet another "feel good about me" sermonette.
Throw away that outdated bible! It is a cancer in the minds of those who wish to create their own version of utopia. God is no longer needed, for we have within our ranks carefully chosen leaders who will show us a better way. After all, we have evolved beyond the need for Godly instruction, as man is now god of his own destiny.
From where I sit on the front row, I see an impending, catastrophic implosion of what we call the Church. What survives will be the last day remnant, or the real Church, that is fervently praying and looking for the return of our Lord Jesus.
Driving a square peg into a round hole accomplishes nothing. It doesn't fit,nor are they designed to accommodate each other. It is wholly unnatural. Like the Church trying to be like the world.
Or like the Church,drifted apart from its Anchor.
If you made it this far….thank you. My purpose is not to offend, but rather to awaken the Church from the stupor that has engulfed it.
May the Lord richly bless you is my prayer,

Former President Bill Clinton was hospitalized in New York on Thursday after experiencing chest pain, two sources told CNN. (Photo Credit: Getty Images/File)
New York (CNN) - Former President Bill Clinton was in "good spirits" Thursday after undergoing a procedure to insert two stents into one of his coronary arteries, his office said.
Clinton, 63, was hospitalized at the Columbia Campus of New York Presbyterian Hospital after experiencing chest pain, according to Douglas Band, counselor to the former president.
Despite other media reports that he had left the hospital, Clinton remained there Thursday evening, a spokesman for the hospital said.
A stent is a tiny tube that is inserted into a narrowed or blocked vessel to open it up and allow blood to travel through, according to CNN's chief medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta.
A source close to the former president said "he is fine" and will recuperate.
Clinton's wife, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, left the White House after a meeting in the Oval Office and headed to New York, a State Department official said. The Clintons' daughter, Chelsea Clinton, was with her father, according to spokeswoman Julie Goldberg.
In a written statement, Band said, "President Clinton is in good spirits, and will continue to focus on the work of his Foundation and Haiti's relief and long-term recovery efforts."
Full story
Updated: 6:06 p.m.
Best wishes for Bill Clinton and his family. I will pray for his quick recovery. He has a lot of unfinished good work. He is a very effective humanitarian.
Get well soon.
God speed Mr. President.

Alternatively have a look at the program.
Shifted symplectic structures have been introduces by Pantev-Toën-Vaquié-Vezzosi in 2011. They allow to unify various constructions of symplectic structures appearing in mathematical physics and algebraic geometry. I will present the main results from Pantev-Toën-Vaquié-Vezzosi and, if type permits, I will report on recent developments in the field, such as:- the construction of fully extended TFTs of AKSZ type.- the recent definition of shifted Poisson structures.
We will report on joint work with Steffen Sagave. First we review the notions of model categories and $\infty$-categories which are both frameworks to deal with homotopy coherence and higher structures. The relation between the two is well understood by now thanks to work of Dugger, Lurie and Joyal. We will explain the relation and if time permits some applications. Our main contribution is to give a symmetric monoidal variant of this story: we prove that symmetric monoidal $\infty$-categories and some sort of symmetric monoidal $\infty$-catgories are essentially the same.
Factorization homology provides a bridge between higher algebra and the topology of manifolds. It's a good bridge: Ayala and Francis have recently proven the cobordism hypothesis using it. In this lecture series we'll explain how to build this bridge, prove results indicating the utility of the bridge, and, time willing, walk across it a few times.
I will describe an approach to geometric quantization in terms of deformation quantization in the setting of algebraic symplectic structures. I will explain why it recovers the expected answer for cotangent bundles. One can also modify this approach to understand geometric quantization of (-1) and 1-shifted symplectic structures which I will describe for the case of a derived critical locus.
The graphical formalism of string nets, due to Levin, Wen and Kirillov, is an elegant way to describe the vector spaces assigned to oriented surfaces in the Turaev-Viro model. It takes as input a spherical fusion category. What happens if one starts with just a "bare" fusion category? I will describe a "spin net" formalism for this case, which applies to surfaces equipped with a spin structure. In this way one obtains representations of the spin mapping class groups of surfaces.
I plan to give an introduction to the programme of perturbative quantization of gauge theories (and in particular, topological field theories of AKSZ type) on manifolds with boundary.

How to Fix Stitches That Are Too Tight in Circular Knitting
I'm going to show you know how to fix stitches that are too tight. This tip is good for circular knitting as well as knitting on straight needles, but it's especially important to not have tight stitches in circular knitting, because of this part of the needle here, this is called the " Join," and this is where the cable joins onto the needle, and there's a huge change in size here between the diameter of the cable and the diameter of the needle. And thinking about the diameter of the needle is what's going to help us loosen our stitches up.
Now if you've already knit a bunch of stitches that are too tight, there's no way to fix stitches that are already made, but I will give you tips on how to loosen up future stitches, but you should never have to be fighting your stitches over the join. We can really hurt our hands if we're really gripping tight for stitch after stitch, project after project, year after year. You're going to save yourself some kind of tendinitis so, it's nice to remember you're making fabric. It needs to have some give, and some drape, and so you don't want your stitches to grip the needle.
A lot of beginning knitters think their stitches need to be really tight, or else they're going to fall off the needle, and the better you get at knitting the more relaxed you'll be, and know they are going to stay there, especially if you're knitting with bamboo which naturally grips the stitches.
So when I make a stitch, I go in from the left side, wrap around the back, scoop up a new loop, and pop off the old stitch. I'm a right handed knitter, so I throw my yarn with my right hand, but if you're continental you'll go into the left hand side, pick the yarn off your finger, scoop up that new loop, and throw it off the back.
So that third step, the scooping up the new loop, whether you do it with your left hand, or your right hand is the key to making good stitch tension. Stitches that are nice and loose. Not so loose that you can see daylight. You don't want a stitch that looks like that, you do want your stitch to touch the needle on all sides, but not squeeze the needle. We don't want strangling stitches.
So the way that I do this is I go in, I wrap around, and when I pull up a new stitch I make sure that my needle is actually pulling towards my body just a little bit, so that I can pop the old stitch off with ease. Then I give just a teeny tiny tug with my right hand, so little that I barely even notice that I'm doing it, scoop it up, just enough tug to lift the yarn back into position, and this just takes lots of practice.
Your tension is going to be kind of uneven when you're a new knitter. In the first year of knitting, you may go from being too loose, to too tight, to being both in the same round, but just keep at it, it will get better.
If you hold it with your left hand, take the tip of the right hand needle into the stitch from the left side, scoop up a new loop, and again pull towards you just a little bit, so when you pop the old stitch off it's got a good slide.
So you really want that join to slide in and out. The number one mistake that people make when they make their stitches too tight is knitting up here on the tip of the needle instead of down here on the shaft of the needle, and this shaft is the size of the needle. You're buying a size whatever your needle is for this size here, not the tip.
So when you make your stitch, if you're making loops up here on the tip of the needle? All your stitches are going to be too tight, so resist the urge to knit all the way up here. You really want to get them down there onto what's called the " shaft" of the needle . So when I stick my needle in, I stick it all the way to the thick part, then wrap my loop, and when I pull it out I again pull it down here to the shaft of the needle.
So with the left hand, stick it all the way in past the tip, scoop a new loop, and then the loop is being formed on the big part of the needle.
Those are some tips on how to keep your knitting nice, and loose, so that it can slide over the join in circular knitting.

Ways To Use Web Marketing For Your Personal Business
Internet marketing involves the selling of goods or services on the internet. While it might take a little while for starters to become successful with Website marketing, there is a lot of information open to them.
Successful Online marketers know that they have to utilize every bit of new technology. Should your company fails at using technology, your clients will notice and may even set out to not have confidence in company. Keeping your work updated and relevant will show your prospects you know what you are doing.
Solicit feedback whenever you can. This can be vital to success since your judgement of your respective site's appearance is probably not how others view it. Try and solicit honest but objective feedback from colleagues, prospective clientele, friends and maybe even family. Make sure you tune in to what exactly is said and then make appropriate changes as necessary.
In terms of Website marketing, you should watch what the competition is doing. Whatever field you function in will always have competition.
Creating a section for frequently asked questions can help your potential customers with common issues and make it simpler for them to order. You may make your prospects feel more at ease and increase sales by answering their questions straight away. When product benefits are explained in detail, it is actually very likely that individuals will buy.
A consistent blog keeps people considering your products. A blog is certainly one more way to stay in touch with clients How To Make Money Online Blogs also give your internet site a lot of extra content, which appeals to search engine listings and can boost your rankings.
Always be certain your webpages are informative and contain relevant information. A simple digital billboard featuring your hours of operation, address and toll-free number is simply not planning to garner you much business. Include articles, reviews and then any other content that helps potential clients recognize that your enterprise is of high-quality.
Always include your keywords inside your internal links. Once you get yourself a visitor in your site, keeping them there becomes vital. If you are using links to direct these people to previous posts or some other relevant information elsewhere on the website, you can preserve them around much longer. In this sense, internal linking is a great approach to hook your potential customers and boosts your research engine statistics.
Be sure you provide a feedback from customers section, which you can manage carefully. Honest feedback will assist you to offer better items to your customers, because they will be positive about buying your products or services simply because they already know that other individuals have tried them already.
A sense of security is important to many online shoppers. Deliver to your site's visitors a worry-free online experience. This can be done by putting a online privacy policy at the top right area of the page.
Accomplishing this will provide visitors confidence that you simply conduct business within a safe manner. Whenever they invest in a product, their identity will be protected.
Carry out some more research before starting to showcase your online business. Take into account that the Internet is known as a marketplace that's global and also by following the following tips, you are able to successful inside it..

Trending topics: Tracking storms, tornadoes, flooding
Summertime severe weather made up for any lost time this week as it raked the Midwest, and southern Wisconsin in particular.
While we missed the brunt of the tornadoes and high winds, we did get a lot of rain. Many of the flood warnings, though, remain to our south and west in Kenosha, Sauk, Grant, Crawford, Jackson and Trempealeau counties.
Ready Wisconsin— readywiscosnin.wi.gov — is funded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and is a joint initiative of Wisconsin Emergency Management and Wisconsin Citizen Corps. It tweets about severe weather throughout the state and has been busy since Monday with thunderstorm and tornado warning earlier in the week and flood warning tweets went out Thursday.
The week began ominously Monday afternoon as Ready Wisconsin was warning residents of:
Jeff Las tof the National Weather Service office in Ashwaubenon accurately predicted that:
NWS Green Bay warned on Monday:
Starting late Monday and into Tuesday mornings, a strong storm struck southern Wisconsin. It was eventually determined that six tornadoes touched down, two each in Dane, Grant and Green counties.
The University of Wisconsin-Platteville campus was especially hard-hit. The university tweeted at 12:19 a.m. Tuesday that:
UW-Platteville's information and communications director Paul Ericksonshared photos and damage information.
Barry Adams of the Wisconsin State Journal tweeted photos of damage around the Madison area.
Verona didn't escape severe damage. Renee Raffaelliof WISN-TV 12 in Milwaukee tweeted an aerial view of a school:
NWS Green Bay on Tuesday morning predicted more severe weather Tuesday night into Wednesday morning:
It was again an accurate forecast, unfortunately.
Early Wednesday, storms moved through the state, hitting southern Wisconsin harder than the rest of the state.
Jeremy Nelson tweeted a radar shot that showed lots of pretty colors, but the red indicates potentially dangerous weather.
That thunderstorm warning was eventually upgraded to a tornado warning.
The Middleton Police Department posted photos, too, of Wednesday morning's damage:
In Milwaukee, Mike De Sisti posted a vine video of heavy rain in Waukesha.
Germantown and Jackson fire departments helped out as a truck pulling a trailer overturned in flooded ditch along U.S. 45/41. The Germantown department tweeted:
The rescue personnel were in chest-deep water to help the two men who had been in the truck.
As the number of flooding warnings increased, the state Department of Health Services tweeted about the danger of wading around in your flooded street or field. It might look like fun, but it can be dangerous.
@WIDeptHealthServices tweeted some other useful tips about potential dangers.
That's more than the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewage District did.
Wednesday's deluge inundated Milwaukee's sewers so the MMSD had to open overflow valves and allow untreated waste into rivers. The district has a Twitter account and sending raw sewage into area rivers seems like something Milwaukee residents would like to know about, but there was no word on Twitter. MMSD's last tweet was June 13 about a rain barrel.
Meanwhile, tornadoes were roaring through other Midwestern states. Two twisters demolished Wisner, Neb., on Monday. ABC News tweeted this photo:
Storm chaser Ethan Mulnixof @JWSevereweather chase team followed the Nebraska tornadoes, tweeting the photo of one outside of Pilger.
Mulnix tracked the severe weather to South Dakota:
More thunderstorms are expected Friday in the Green Bay area.
This week's thunderstorms, straight-line winds and tornadoes should reinforce your procedures for monitoring severe weather.
Whether you use apps, television or a weather radio: Be prepared.
Meteorologist Charles Koch of WSI/The Weather Company probably had the best advice on Tuesday afternoon:

Have you ever had one of those moments where you've been head down focused on a project and suddenly realize you are starving? Those situations are even worse when you aren't at a stopping point, but in order to keep going you have to eat or you will quickly lose focus and may even start making mistakes. Although this is an extreme example, it's moments like this that our diets are most vulnerable and we are most likely to grab something unhealthy, if we aren't prepared.
You already know that meal planning is necessary if you want to stay on track with your food choices and health goals, but you may not realize that snack planning is important also. Or maybe you do, but aren't sure what to plan to eat in order to satisfy your belly and contribute to your nutrition.
Here are my suggestions for surviving a snack attack:
1. Plan to snack on real food and not junk food.
Although the candy machine is convenient and inexpensive, it rarely contains anything that is worth your while nutritionally… even the granola bars can be packed with sugar. So plan to eat real food for your snacks, just perhaps in smaller portions. Examples include:
- Hard-boiled egg… with a little olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper if you want to get fancy
- A small smoothie… obviously not so easy at the office, but good for an after school snack. This is also a great way to include veggies in your snack.
- A cup or small bowl of soup or chili
- A small bowl of sauerkraut or other lacto-fermented vegetables (many stores carry jars of it in the refrigerator sectioin)
- A small salad… of any kind: green, mixed, Waldorf, watermelon and tomato, Greek, tabbouleh, jicama and grapefruit, mixed fruit, cole slaw, etc.
- A handful of mixed roasted nuts
- Some nut butter with sliced fruit or vegetables, and for added crunch put it on a rice cake or whole grain crackers… one of my recent favorites is a whole grain rice cake with cashew butter and half of a banana. It's a little sweet, a little salty and a little crunchy. Perfect!
2. Be sure to include some protein and/or fiber in your snack to feel satisfied.
Research has shown that protein causes the right hormones to be released to tell your brain that you are satisfied, while fiber fills our stomachs without adding calories (because we can't digest it). Many of the above examples contain protein and/or fiber, and here are some additional examples:
- Plain yogurt (whether cow, goat, coconut or almond milk) with:
- Added fruit (to avoid the added sugars in fruit yogurt),
- Mild veggies like cucumber or bell pepper (think of Greek cuisine that uses tzatziki with vegetables),
- Unsweetened coconut shavings, and/or
- Toasted nuts (almond slivers, walnut pieces, pine nuts, chopped hazelnuts, etc)
- Hummus with sliced veggies (go crazy with variety here… radishes, snap peas, carrots, celery, cherry tomatoes, etc)
- Homemade trail mix with roasted (no salt added) nuts and dried (no sugar added) fruit… of course, you can also toss in some dark chocolate chips as long as you aren't cleansing, trying to kick a sugar habit, or preventing your acid reflux from being triggered; or just…
- A small handful of nuts or seeds
- Chicken, tuna or salmon salad on whole grain crackers, a rice cake or lettuce leaves
- A big glass of water with a whole seed fiber mixed in (I often do this when I am cleansing to tide me over to the next meal and up my fiber intake at the same time. Just be sure you pick a hefty fiber that has ground psyllium husks, chia seeds and/or ground flaxseeds so they will absorb the water in your stomach and make you feel full. The fibers that dissolve fully in water won't give you the full feeling.)
3. Be sure you are actually hungry.
I know this may sound strange,but many of us don't know when we are actually hungry and when our stomachs are just empty or we are thirsty. Especially if we have a habit of grabbing a snack at 3 pm, the desire to do that may just be related to the habit and not to an actual hunger. So, before you reach for any food, determine when was the last time you finished 10 or more ounces of water. If it's been more than an hour, have some water, wait 20 minutes, and then see if you still feel hungry. If you do, refer to #1 and #2 above.
I've given examples of snacks I like, but I'm sure you have some favorites that fit these guidelines as well. Tell me in the comments what your favorite healthy snacks are so we can all survive snack attacks while keeping it interesting and nutritious.

In the spring/summer I love to snack on sugar snap peas, raw zucchini slices, and cherry tomatoes… that combo in a ziplock baggie is my go-to!!

Sample Speech for Students on Teacher's Day. Inspirational speech for students on teachers day. Thanks speech for students on teachers day. Short speech for students on teachers day.
Speech for Students on Teacher's Day
Respected Principal, My dear students, and faculty fellows. Hello, and welcome to the Teachers Day Ceremony.
This is the first time that our school is holding this ceremony, and I am more than happy to be your host for it. As I was told that I am to deliver an opening speech dedicated to the teachers today…, and when I sat last night on my couch with my favorite coffee in my hand, I was at a loss of words. What could I say in favor of teachers? What words could I use to define them? How could I actually, and properly appreciate them for what they do, and what they're capable of doing?
There was nothing I could write but then, a memory from my past struck me. I remembered my teachers, the one who helped me stand where I am today, and I started writing in their respect.
A teacher is someone who decided to dedicate their life for the betterment of a nation's future. Do you think that Teaching is a career path that one was forced to choose? No… Teachers choose to help, choose to help a nation build up on its youth, and its children.
How would you describe your teacher? Someone who comes in your classroom, tells you a few aspects of some academic stuff that you take an exam for later? Well that's not what teacher actually is.
Although there are no words to explain the importance of teachers but one has to start somewhere. If you believe that a school is your second home then you would also believe that teachers are your secondary parents…
Parents who take care of you for more than 8 hours a day, teach you things that maybe your real parents might not be able to…Teaching you decorum, and ethics is just a part of your academic upbringing but the best part is that both ethics, or decorum are not a part of your academic syllabus. It's something the teachers choose themselves to teach you on their own, and one can't thank them enough for that.
Frankly speaking, standing here today, talking to all of you, my memories come flashing back, and all of my teachers that helped me climb my academic stairs. That helped me stand where I stand today…They keep coming back, and all I can see them is smiling whilst watching me speak in respect for them today.
I would like to end my speech by saying that, please! Respect your teachers, not everyone has the capability of being one!
Thank you!

Why Ryan Gosling Should Never Be the 'Sexiest Man Alive'
Ryan Gosling should never be People's "Sexiest Man Alive." And, no, it's not because he isn't sexy.
Ryan Gosling should never be People's "Sexiest Man Alive." And, no, it's not because he isn't sexy. He is indeed sexy. Please, people, just look at the way the man wears a suit. No, Ryan Gosling, should never be the "Sexiest Man Alive" because it would ruin all the Internet fun we've been having with him.
This morning it was announced that Magic Mike's perennially shirtless hunk Channing Tatum received People's title. As soon as the news broke the Gosling protest started. BuzzFeed, for one, changed their Twitter icon to a picture of Gosling and encouraged people to tweet using #teamryan:
Channing Tatum named People's 2012 Sexiest Man Alive, robbing Ryan Gosling of the title yet again. #travesty #injustice #teamryan— BuzzFeed (@BuzzFeed) November 14, 2012
The site was at the front lines of the fight for Gosling last year when he was overtaken by Bradley Cooper, writing posts including "63 Reasons Why Bradley Cooper Definitely Isn't The Sexiest Man Alive" and "10 Scientific Reasons Why Ryan Gosling Is Sexier Than Bradley Cooper." This year they've fired back with "Why People Magazine Is Blind, Ignorant, And Dumb."
Visually, they make good points. Gosling is pretty sexy. But Gosling, in his memedom, is too much of an underdog hero to become People's "sexiest man." While Gosling actually seems kind of bland in real life save for his put-upon Brando accent and his nobility on the streets of New York, on the Internet he's a feminist, a lawyer, even a typographer. While we all love Gosling, we most love Gosling when he's reaffirming our fascination with a niche world beyond the trappings of normal Hollywood celebrity. Last year's protest in Gosling's favor even took on the form of an "Occupy" movement, further affirming Gosling's outsider status.
Though we might have suspected nearly a year ago that we have reached "peak" Gosling, the Gosling craze is clearly far from over. It works because we can make Gosling whoever we want him to be. If he's the "sexiest man alive" then he's been labeled by the proverbial "man" of celebrity news coverage. He'll probably giggle and make a humble statement, and the Internet will feel a fleeting moment of joy, but that will fade. His star may even fade. Let's let the fun continue. The protest can live on, but Gosling must never be the "sexiest man alive."

Top Three Dublin Sweet Treat Spots
Not so long ago, a colleague made the very inspired suggestion that we get some donuts as a Friday afternoon treat. It has since become a regular sweet treat routine, possibly not the best for my sugar levels, but pretty damn good all the same :)
They have a full range at their shop on Aungier Street, open from 7.30 in the morning but be aware that they frequently sell out so get there early.

Flavours include Banoffee Autopsy and Oreo Marshmallow as well as many more, and seasonal specials appear from time to time, also, such as this creme egg donut which I'm pretty gutted I missed out on.

They are based on Aungier St. obviously, no. 37 to be exact, and you can follow them on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook. They are pretty excellent at updating social media and will let you know if they are sold out, so always good to have a quick check before you head down there.

DAD.Info's Damian Kelleher talks to War Horse author Michael Morpurgo about his latest novel, Listen to the Moon, set in World War I
Michael, we're back on the Isles of Scilly for Listen to the Moon, the setting for so many of your best loved books.
It's an important landscape of my life. I have two; there's Devon, where I live, and the Isles of Scilly. When I seen an opportunity to set stories there, I use it.
In this case, it was a geographical reason; the Lusitania was sunk off the south coast of Ireland, and the nearest land fall is the Isles of Scilly. And of course, I know the society there so the research is already done.
The story begins with a personal recollection – a memory of a much-loved grandmother.
It's a story of a man of my age reflecting on grandparents who are gone, and the past. As I get older I do that more, so it is personal to me, too. This whole business of looking back to your earlier life and trying to remember – it seems to me to be key to who we are. Part of the reason we are here is to pass on the stories of our lives. If we have stories to tell – fictional or non-fictional – it's important to tell them. Storytelling is as natural as breathing. It is one of the ways we communicate how we are and how we feel.
One of the themes of the book is storytelling in childhood – you mention The Ugly Duckling, Treasure Island, and there's something of the Little Mermaid about Lucy Lost, the mysterious girl at the heart of the book.
These stories do fill our lives; often the stories we remember from our childhood relate to the person who read then to you the first time; your mum, your dad or your granny. They stay with you. And then you find yourselves reading them to your own children, and your grandchildren. They retell themselves throughout your lives and they are unforgettable.
It's a hundred years since the outbreak of WW1, and the great thing about this story is that it keeps that period alive for a new generation.
To me it's important that we tell the story of that conflict in a way that children can comprehend – on that level it's not just about enjoyment. One of the great joys of reading though is to feel you are not alone; when you're reading a story you get to know the characters and they get to know you. It's this connection between the writer and the reader, this empathy, that enriches us as readers.
The story involves one of the great tragedies of WW1 – the sinking of the Lusitania – but it's also a book about reconciliation and forgiveness, isn't it?
It's a part of the story. Harry Patch, the last surviving tommy of WWI, spoke of the absurdity of war before he died. He said that in the end, people always get around the table and they talk. But it seems that we have to go through this appalling suffering sometimes to reach that point. I feel that if you're telling war tales they have to be positive: it is ghastly, it's terrible, it's mud and it's blood and it's horror. But there is peace after war. The culture of forgiveness and reconciliation is one I'd rather encourage than belligerence.
Listen to the Moon is also a book with family at its heart; Lucy is 'adopted' by Alfie's family, and they will care for her no matter what.
There's something in us all that wants to reach out to children in need. There are so many children out there who are lost and rejected and it's fantastic when people put their arms around them and give them a life and a family. There's a wonderful charity called Save the Children that spends its energies doing exactly that, all over the world.
You've been involved in Save the Children's recent Read on, Get on campaign haven't you?
I try to get involved wherever I can but it has to be a cause that I truly believe in. Reading to your children is a cultural thing. Once parents start doing it, they love doing it. It's like taking exercise; once you start, you realize how much fun it is.
And for fathers in particular…
For a man it's so important, for fathers and grandfathers. Once reading to children was what mothers used to do. But that culture has totally changed now; by and large, men and women are in the same position when it comes to work. Men no longer have an excuse; it's one way of really getting to know your child. You're not preaching at them, you're just enjoying the story with your child. Every day, it's just 10 minutes or a quarter of an hour of the most valuable time in a child's life. When a dad does it, it means so much. Particularly for boys who may want to be outside messing around with a football, when Dad sits down –maybe in his football shirt – and reads a story, that makes such a difference.
Not always easy being a dad. Any advice to pass on to other fathers?
As parents we're very unprepared for this role – you just cope as best you can. I wouldn't pass on advice – I'm not in a position to do that – but I would say that I think the great thing is to learn to listen to your child, from when they're gurgling at you until they're grown up. Never underestimate them, never talk down to them, and give them room to grow. I tell you what I think is very annoying. Being a grandparent, you learn all the things you've done wrong as a parent! It's all so badly arranged. If we could be grandparents first, what good parents we would be.

Optimizing a business process can lead to substantial savings in time and money. Doing more with less is a mindset that just about every company can get behind. For this reason, using integrated labels as part of a process can be a huge asset. Since an integrated label is part of a larger document, an invoice, shipping tag, packing list, or more can be printed at the same time. In short, using integrated versions of labels can save paper and time through compatibility and versatility. Of course, it does not hurt that the devices are pretty simple to use as well.

When a shipping label or other type of tag needs to be placed on a container, box, or other type of device, users often have to shift to a separate workstation to print the label. Since integrated technology is part of a typical printer setup, no additional equipment is necessary. Plus, the variety of labels available makes finding the right size and shapes a pretty straightforward affair. In short, making the label fit the process helps reduce clutter and decreases the amount of equipment needed in virtually any operation.

Top 3 Website Building Tips That Work
Since different types of labels are a fairly common practice in the business world, stocking a few different types of paper is usually a much cheaper option than keeping a number of different printers around. Not only can savings be realized in equipment, but ink, toner, and other printer supplies can also be a significant source of savings. Basically, using a typical flat sheet of paper with a section designated for a label can be a versatile tool that helps optimize just about any type of commercial setting.

Teaching people to use equipment costs money. When a series of specialized equipment is present in a workplace, training and breaking in periods can be extensive. Integrating labels into existing paper supplies greatly simplifies the training process. Users simply insert a piece of paper containing the label to accomplish their task.

In the end, optimizing a business does not have to be a difficult task. By identifying areas of opportunities, managers and owners can engineer extra steps out of the equation. Since labels are an important part of many operations, cutting out a few extra steps can lead to productivity gains. Since productivity generally equals higher profits, taking a second look at that labeling process can be a big deal.

Looking to punch up and expand its slate, National Geographic Films has tapped former Miramax president Daniel Battsek as its new prexy, starting March 15.
The widely expected move was announced Wednesday by the exploration-conservation brand's film division, best known for "March of the Penguins."
Battsek replaces Adam Leipzig, who ankled two weeks ago after half a dozen years in the post. At that point, the British-born Battsek — who oversaw such titles as "The Queen" and "No Country for Old Men" at Miramax — was in talks as his replacement.
The changeover comes at a time of transition for National Geographic Films, which is slightly more than a year into a joint venture with Imagenation Abu Dhabi to finance feature films, committing $100 million for 10-15 features over the next five years — giving Nat Geo the resources to acquire and distribute arthouse and world film titles along with producing its own films.
The Way Back," the true story of soldiers' escape from a Siberian gulag, is in production, with Peter Weir writing and directing in the first film funded by the joint venture.
David Beal, the head of parent National Geographic Entertainment, touted Battsek's hiring as a way to transform the film division. "We're proud of what we've accomplished so far with National Geographic Films, and we're thrilled to have Daniel Battsek, a true leader in the international film production and distribution community, take us to the next level," said Beal, who made the announcement Wednesday.
Battsek, who had announced his departure from Miramax in October, will report to Beal and be responsible for development, production, acquisitions and distribution.
During his four years at Miramax, other pics Battsek oversaw include "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly," "There Will Be Blood" and "Doubt." Prior to joining Miramax, he was exec VP and managing director of distribution and production for Disney's Buena Vista Intl. U.K.
Biggest success of Leipzig's tenure came with 2005's "March of the Penguins," which it distribbed with Warner Independent. "Penguins," acquired at Sundance, grossed more than $125 million worldwide.
National Geographic Films' recent releases include Cherien Dabis' "Amreeka" and Lu Chuan's "City of Life and Death," which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival and is due to open this spring.
As for Miramax, Disney announced in the fall that it was slashing the number of films the company releases to three a year from the six to eight it previously had on its sked.
Company also announced that it was folding much of its operations — marketing, distribution, operations and administrative support functions — into the Mouse House's larger film group.

Something got me thinking about heroes recently, and I found myself wondering if I had any. A hero: someone whose life and work I greatly admire; is that a good enough definition? Or am I thinking of an icon?
One will have to be Shakespeare. I realise I had a very good first encounter with the man and his work, through an inspirational English teacher (who was ultimately responsible for my pursuing such a career myself) who chose a demanding and challenging play for study at O Level: The Merchant of Venice. Difficult to classify, though many critics call it a tragicomedy, which will do, I suppose. The point is, it raised so many issues for teenage minds to wrestle with: what is justice? What is racism? Who are we meant to sympathise with? In other words, I had an early introduction to the idea that there are no easy answers, and that one should beware of anyone who claimed to have one… And this same teacher went on to teach us Othello and King Lear at A Level, two astonishingly powerful tragedies which move me to tears whenever I watch them.
At university we had a course on 'The Drama' in our first year, and were fortunate enough to have the lectures on Shakespeare delivered by Kenneth Muir, the head of the Department of English at the University of Liverpool and eminent Shakespearean scholar, then on the verge of retirement. He was amazing: clear and perceptive in his analysis, what stunned us all most was that whatever play he was discussing, he could immediately recall whatever lines he wanted, from memory, as he paced the lecture theatre.
Obviously as an English teacher myself, I had to teach many of the plays. I tried only to teach plays I really liked, especially after having made the early mistake of trying to interest year 8 students in A Midsummer Night's Dream because that was one of the plays designated for year 8… I had to teach Macbeth – a play I liked but never really completely warmed to – more times than I care to think; I loved teaching Julius Caesar and Romeo and Juliet, and when it came to sixth form, went for the tragedies whenever I could, though only ever once managed to get to teach King Lear. Othello and Antony and Cleopatra were my great favourites.
Everyone will have their own take on Shakespeare's greatness. For me there were two things in particular: the astonishing power and beauty of his language in so many different situations and through so many different characters, and his ability to raise so many questions through his plots, to make his audiences think, to make them uncomfortable, in short to make them see that there was no one easy response to anything.
I said 'one' before I mentioned Shakespeare, so logically there will be another, and there is.
_Whereas I can claim a certain measure of expertise in the field of literature, in the field of music I am a zero. Tone deaf, unable to play any instrument, bribed at school not to sing in music lessons because I put others off. But my other hero, or icon, is J S Bach. And I will find it much harder to explain why. A long while ago I mentioned how a teacher at school had initially fired my curiosity by refusing to play Bach to us 'peasants'; another teacher played us the fifth Brandenburg Concerto, and I could not believe my ears, transported by the speed and virtuosity of the harpsichordist.
My encyclopaedic knowledge of 1970s rock music gradually began to fade as I explored the world of jazz and classical music, and one fateful day I spent a whole pound on a whim, on a secondhand LP of two Bach cantatas from a stall on Lancaster market. Many years later, having worn it out, I managed to find a replacement.
Bach's music transports me onto a more spiritual plane: that's the only way I can put it, really. The cello suites, for example, some of the shorter and less fiery organ pieces, but above all the church cantatas take me away from myself, my ordinary little world and its worries and preoccupations and lead me somewhere completely other with my mind – my being, thoughts, consciousness — to another place entirely. It's beyond me and much more powerful than me; I don't understand it and I feel unutterably grateful for the experience.
Bach was a Lutheran, a very religious and God-fearing man: I am not. As a Quaker, I explore a spiritual path, true, but worship in silence; I don't know whether God exists or is a creation of the human mind. But Bach's music speaks to me so profoundly, from nearly three centuries ago, in a way which complements everything I believe in, and manages to restore my faith in humanity.
So yes, perhaps there are heroes, and I have a couple of them.

Betsy DeVos's Back To School Message At Odds With What Parents Want
By Jeff Bryant
"Betsy DeVos is traveling cross-country in a bus to spread a very different message completely at odds with the hope, anticipation, and resolve parents and their communities feel about public education. Just how far at odds DeVos's views about public education are with the average American parent's views became apparent in a new survey released during her bus tour."

Parents Prefer Good Neighborhood Schools Over More Choice, Poll Finds
Education Week
"Most parents like their public school and want to support teachers, whom they trust more than anyone else to make choices for education … Over 70% of parents said they would prefer a good quality neighborhood public school for their children over the ability to have more choice of what schools they can send their children to. Separated by race, 76% of white parents wanted good neighborhood schools – compared to just 60 percent of African-American parents and 66 percent of Hispanic parents … Most parents also disapprove of reducing spending on traditional public schools and using the funds to increase spending on charter schools."

DeVos's Plans For Title IX Will Impact K-12 Schools, Too
The Progressive
"Betsy DeVos recently caused a firestorm, including some praise, for pledging to walk back Obama-era policies regarding campus sexual assault … What has received less attention is the importance of Title IX for K-12 students … 137 K-12 school districts across the country are currently under investigation by the federal Office of Civil Rights for Title IX 'sexual-violence complaints.' In comparison, 246 higher education sites are now being investigated for similar complaints … In an atmosphere of stepping back from a more robust enforcement plan … 'K-12 schools are going to fall even further behind in terms of Title IX compliance.'"

Together, that's roughly half, or 51 percent, of the DACA-eligible population of nearly 1.2 million … A much larger number of DACA-eligible people, over 130,000, had completed some college, but were no longer enrolled. Some of those, roughly 25,000 young adults, had earned two-year associate's degrees."

Study Highlights Long-Term Costs Of Charter School Expansion
The Inquirer
"School districts may be able to reduce some expenses when more of their students enroll in charters, but they still face significant financial costs long after those students have gone … Those continuing expenses include pension costs and making required payments to bondholders for facilities … 'Increasing charter school choices to a community does not occur without a significant fiscal impact' … Districts with growing charter enrollments need more money to maintain the same level of services to their remaining students … While the fiscal impact varied, districts were not able to cut expenses to break even."

Teachers' Pay Lags Furthest Behind Other Professionals In U.S., Study Finds

In America … a 7th grade teacher puts in 1,366 hours at school each year, including more than 980 hours of teaching … nearly 270 more hours of teaching than the international average. Teachers working with historically disadvantaged students face an even bigger gap."

Few subjects have caught the attention of the entire world as much as those dealing with natural hazards. The first decade of this new millennium provides a litany of tragic examples of various hazards that turned into disasters affecting millions of individuals around the globe. The human losses (some 225,000 people) associated with the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, the economic costs (approximately 200 billion USD) of the 2011 Tohoku Japan earthquake, tsunami and reactor event, and the collective social impacts of human tragedies experienced during Hurricane Katrina in 2005 all provide repetitive reminders that we humans are temporary guests occupying a very active and angry planet. Any examples may have been cited here to stress the point that natural events on Earth may, and often do, lead to disasters and catastrophes when humans place themselves into situations of high risk. Few subjects share the true interdisciplinary dependency that characterizes the field of natural hazards. From geology and geophysics to engineering and emergency response to social psychology and economics, the study of natural hazards draws input from an impressive suite of unique and previously independent specializations. Natural hazards provide a common platform to reduce disciplinary boundaries and facilitate a beneficial synergy in the provision of timely and useful information and action on this critical subject matter. As social norms change regarding the concept of acceptable risk and human migration leads to an explosion in the number of megacities, coastal over-crowding and unmanaged habitation in precarious environments such as mountainous slopes, the vulnerability of people and their susceptibility to natural hazards increases dramatically. Coupled with the concerns of changing climates, escalating recovery costs, a growing divergence between more developed and less developed countries, the subject of natural hazards remains on the forefront of issues that affect all people, nations, and environments all the time. This treatise provides a compendium of critical, timely and very detailed information and essential facts regarding the basic attributes of natural hazards and concomitant disasters. The Encyclopedia of Natural Hazards effectively captures and integrates contributions from an international portfolio of almost 300 specialists whose range of expertise addresses over 330 topics pertinent to the field of natural hazards. Disciplinary barriers are overcome in this comprehensive treatment of the subject matter. Clear illustrations and numerous color images enhance the primary aim to communicate and educate. The inclusion of a series of unique "classic case study" events interspersed throughout the volume provides tangible examples linking concepts, issues, outcomes and solutions. These case studies illustrate different but notable recent, historic and prehistoric events that have shaped the world as we now know it. They provide excellent focal points linking the remaining terms in the volume to the primary field of study. This Encyclopedia of Natural Hazards will remain a standard reference of choice for many years.
