Mouthguards initiative in Gaelic games - 14 Nov 2012 | hill16.ie
The purpose of this document is to present Clubs, Players and Parents with an overview of the forthcoming implementation of the mouthguard initiative. This is a summary and more in-depth information will be made available in the near future.
It will be mandatory to use a mouthguard in all football matches and training sessions from January 1st 2013 (for all age grades up to and including minor) and at U21 and Adult level from January 1st 2014
There are three types of mouthguards:
Stock mouthguards are preformed and come ready to wear. Dentists do not recommend their use. Nonetheless, once they carry the CE (European Conformity) mark they are acceptable in terms of complying with the new GAA Rules.
Boil and bite mouthguards can also be bought over the counter at most Sport Shops and generally offer a better fit than stock mouth protectors. Typically this type of mouthguard will cost in the region of 15 to 20 and again any mouthguard with the CE mark on it in this category is sufficient to ensure compliance with the new rule.
Custom-fitted mouthguards are individually designed and made in a dental office or a professional laboratory based on your dentist's instructions. These will offer the best protection against dental and oral injury. Prices can vary significantly and it is worth seeking and comparing prices from a number of practitioners before deciding to purchase.
There will be a range of official GAA/GPA mouthguards available to purchase in December. Further information on these products will be circulated to Clubs in late November.
If a player refuses to comply with a Referees instruction to wear a mouthguard, he will initially be cautioned by the Referee and if the player continues to refuse, the Referee can send him off (See Rule 6.2, Rules of Foul Play, The Playing Rules of Football, Official Guide, Part II, 20112)
When does the new rule come into effect?
From January 1st 2013, all players playing in grades up to and including Minor will be required to wear a mouthguard in all football games and at practice sessions.When does the ruling come into effect for adult players?
From January 1st, 2014 all players at all grades will be required to wear a mouthguard in all football games and practice sessions.What will happen if I am not wearing a mouthguard in a game?
If a player refuses to comply with a Referees instruction to wear a mouthguard, he/she will initially be cautioned by the Referee and if the player continues to refuse, the Referee can send him/her off.Who is responsible for ensuring mouthguards are worn at training or practice sessions?
It is a matter for each club to ensure the rule is adhered to at training or practice sessions. Clubs and players should note that players may not be covered under the player injury scheme if they are not wearing a mouthguard.Do players have to wear a mouthguard in hurling games?
No, the new rule only applies to football; however, wearing a mouthguard when playing hurling does reduce the risk of dental injury.
Handball Ireland will be giving a Workshop Thursday 29th of November from 19.30 to 21.00 in Manor House Sports Hall for Club Mentors and anyone interested in attending.
Cost will be €5 euro (cover costs) payable on the night.
Note that the date and time has been confirmed.
Date for your diary mentors night is on 14th December, the Christmas raffle will take place on this night as well.
Check out notice board for update on our Christmas raffle. Our target is €30,000, so far we have €3,610 in. A lot of hard work has gone into organising the raffle and distributing the tickets please help make it easier on these people by returning your sold tickets asap. Members please remember that all this work is voluntary, there are a lot of people giving up a lot of their free time for the club or should I say OUR Club.
A big thank you to Pat Ivory and Ronan Leech who did a great job of marking Pitch 9, these two men are just a few of the fantastic members who give freely to the Club.
We must not forget the ladies who run the Coffee dock every Saturday morning without fail Eva Fitzsimons, Siobhan Reid, Donna Ivory and Caroline Sutton. Also Janice Peake who with her daughters Ava and Carla bake on a friday evening and bring the goods down for us all to sample with our coffee and tea. The Mums who chopped the fruit on a saturday morning for the Orga kids. All this in voluntary, this is just a sample of the fabulous members we are so lucky to have in OUR Club.
Thanks to all the sellers who gave up their Saturday and braced the cold outside Supervalu, a total €1,215 worth of tickets were sold. We have to say a special thank you to Tom Staunton on his excellent selling skills.
U15s Camogie: Top Four Play off: 18th November: Raheny 2 -4 ; Good Counsel 2 – 5. Final game of the season Sunday 25th November away to Nh Olaf's
Well done to AFL2 on a great win over Erins Isle. It was great to see a strong sideline out to support the game on Sunday morning we are hoping to mirror that on the other side of the city next sunday in the Final. Throw-in 11am, venue - Community centre v Round Towers (C). Check out Pitchfinder on www.rahenygaa.ie for directions.
U21s had a win on Saturday against Thomas Davis. Raheny 0-13 v 0-6 Thomas Davis.
Also another great win by our U16 Hurlers who ended their Juvenile career by winning Shield final against Na Fianna by 2 points on Saturday afternoon.
Minor Hurlers C Championship Raheny 3-12 v 2-10 Naomh Iosolde.
U13 Camogie
Raheny 5-4 (19) St. Perigrins 4-6 (18)
The biggest match of the season for the Raheny U13 Camogie team, with their continued participation in Division 2 at stake, a win was essential. It's always a close game with Perigrines with rarely more than a score or two in the difference at the whistle. The girls were quietly focused before the game with less of the usual discussions.
Perigrines started the better with some good scores from their usual strong players. The Raheny markers weren't close enough at the vital times. Gradually Anna Murphy, and Ciara Mooney started to drag the Raheny girls back into the game and the Raheny half forward line started to get into the game with Sinead Doran, Olivia Gleeson and Andrea Elebert starting to feedballs into the full forwards. Eabha Byrne and Sinead Stack eventually showed their skill and with goals from each, Raheny were back in the game. Another score from Anna Murphy and then Ciara Mooney left Raheny a goal and a point up at the interval.
Again at the restart Perigrines came out on fire. Raheny couldn't catch a break and 10 minutes into the second half Perigrines had scored two goals and four points. Raheny were down a goal and three points and we looked finished. It was going to take something very special from this team if they were to turn this around.
And what happened was fairly special, led by the usual suspects along with some of the girls who had had a quiet gamethus far, the task commenced. Sophie Abbot started to excel, Sarah Ryan did some great work down the right and first cousinsCiara Gallagher and Saoirse White started to shine in defence asthings began to turn around. Raheny got the scores and with 5 minutes to go were a point to the good. Perigrines pushed hard for the final score and there were a number of goalmouth clearances at the Raheny end.
With seconds left Perigrines went for goal, only to have the ball cleared off the goal line by a Raheny half forward. A team effort of the best sort.
Team on day: Saoirse White, Olivia Kane, Ciara Gallagher, Saoirse Wilkinson, Sophie Abbott, Ciara Mooney, Amy Nannery, Sinead Doran, Amy Murphy, Sarah Ryan, Andrea Elebert, Olivia Gleeson, Eabha Byrne, Sinead Stack, Aibhe Kirwan, Tara Mc Ellistrim.
Well done girls!
Raheny U8 hurlers made the short hop up to Blunden Drive to play neighbours O'Tooles on Saturday morning.
Again this week we played U9 rules. Boys did very well with particular mention for Eoghan Cullen from the Green team with his cut off the ground over the bar from open play. Also, fair play to Jacques Bossonet who bagged a hat trick for the Orange team. Great work Jacques!
Well done to all the players, parents and mentors who braved the cold on Saturday morning. Thanks to Kelly Webster and everybody in O'Tooles for their usual warm welcome.
Gentle reminder to parents - please ensure boys have hurleys, helmets and shin guards for hurling, and, gum shields for Football.
Football training on Wednesday at 5.50pm Alfie Byrne Astro.
This coming Saturday we have a football friendly lined up versus Naomh Barrog at 10am. See you all then.
Gaa4Mas want to thank Roisin Morgan for the training sessions last tuesday and Ron Richardson for a great session on Sunday night. We must not forget Jimmy Malones serenading us from the goal face..............

It is not often that movies and television shows give viewers the opportunity to explore the world of hacking and digital security in a realistic manner. After two seasons, "Mr. Robot" has attracted its share of IT professionals as well as average citizens. The show has offered numerous depictions that are of particular interest to those who make their living by protecting their organizations.
The critically acclaimed television series offers fictional situations rather than documentary evidence. However, the plots and actions of both the security engineers and hackers are realistic enough that they can send a shiver down the spine of any professional responsible for safeguarding their organization's system and responding to incidents. This two-part post explores some of the most chilling incidents depicted on the show - incidents that are especially disturbing because they can and do happen in the real world.
People Are the Weak Link
Employees are walking, talking cyber-risks. Sometimes they commit breaches out of anger or because they have been offered payment for sensitive data. At other times, they are innocent pawns or fall victim to a phishing attack. For example, in one episode of "Mr. Robot," Elliot is able to gain physical access to Steel Mountain by manipulating an eager-to-please employee. Elliot himself is an example of an employee who is working to sabotage his employer. One of the worst things about insider hacking is that it can be months or years before it is detected. Controlling access and permissions by employee can help as well as keeping a log of everything that comes in and goes out over the network.
Passwords Present Problems
Users prefer to select passwords that they can easily remember and, in many cases, they use the same password or a slightly modified form of it for all of their sites. If the password is difficult to remember, the user will probably write it down. In one episode, an attorney kept the password to her email account on a sticky note on her desk. In case you're wondering whether users are still playing fast and loose with passwords, you need only check SplashData's list of the worst passwords found in 2 million leaked passwords. Despite compiling and publishing the list annually, the password "123456" still tops the list, followed by "password," "12345678," and "qwerty." Security professionals must be more proactive about training users in the selection of easy-to-remember but hard-to-guess passwords, keeping passwords private and choosing different passwords for every platform.
There Are Times When Being Social Is a Mistake
It is amazing what you can learn from many people's Facebook pages. Information such as their mother's maiden name, the users' date of birth, names of children, favorite pet and much more is often posted for all to see. In many instances, this is all the information that a hacker needs to respond correctly to a secret question in order to have the password reset. Hackers can also use the information to guess passwords. In one episode, Elliot is able to access his therapist's accounts by guessing that her password was a combination of her birth year and the name of her favorite musical artist. However, Elliot has also been able to glean information over the phone and in person by misrepresenting himself.
Never Expect Privacy from a Public Network
In the very first episode, Elliot exposes the manager of a coffee shop as the owner of a website featuring child pornography. He discovered the truth by observing the manager's activities through the coffee shop's public Wi-Fi network. With just a bit of free software and a little technical knowledge, intercepting people's activities is relatively easy on an unprotected network. Employees should be warned to avoid using public networks to access email accounts or conduct other activities that could leave their personal data exposed.
Skimping on Security Investments Is a Mistake
In one episode, Elliot winds up in a hospital, and it's revealed that he chose the hospital because of its one-person IT department that operates on an inadequate budget. He has no problem hacking the hospital's database to alter records. Organizations that do not make the necessary investments in personnel and hardware could suffer a similar fate, especially if they do not bother to keep software updated.

Specialists in the field of social media marketing such as Brian Solis have come to the conclusion that social media can mean both a chance of success or a disaster when dealing with customers. Unlike companies' previous systems of dealing with customer complaints, social media include many possibles ways of making protests public. Furthermore, the truth about customers is that when they have a positive experience they tell a few people, but when they have a negative one they tell all the world. In order to avoid such a negative publicity for a company it is crucial to know which are the qualities that make a social customer service good.

How Important is Blogging For Social Media Marketing?
The proper design of a blog is key to the success of a social media marketing strategy, according to recognized professionals of the field such as David Soler and Patricia Redsicker. A blog updated on a regular basis brings the opportunity to increase the number of people marketing targets, and therefore increase the sales of a certain company. In fact, a study carried out in 2013, the Social Media Marketing Industry Report, has shown that the 63% of the marketers prefer to learn blogging in order to develop strategies. What can blogs be used for in terms of social media marketing?
Social Media Policies
Experts in social media marketing such as Jeff Bullas and Jeane Meister insist on the importance of a proper social media policy for a company. Social media policies are tightly related to social media and the use they are given in the work enviroment. Just as social media can have a great positive impact on the company, they can also affect negatively the image of the entity when the shared content is inappropriate. This problem can be especially serious for big companies where hundred of employees work, for which it is nearly impossible to control what they individually do in terms of information sharing. How can this issue be solved?

Power of the Force Beast Assortment
Item No.: Asst. 69645 No. 84017
Manufacturer: Kenner
Number: n/a
Includes: Blaster, Tauntaun, reins
Action Feature: n/a
Retail: $14.99
Availability: Fall 1998
Appearances: The Empire Strikes Back
Image: Adam Pawlus' toy room.
Bio: Quick and Powerful, Capable of Surviving in Frigid Temperatires (Taken from the box. Dull, eh?)
Commentary: In 1996, Kenner put out a Hoth Han Solo with the hood down and his thermal hat up, and in an oddly colored jacket. The figure was one of the first two genuinely poor sellers in the line, resulting in Kenner saying that they would never revisit the character in this outfit. Well, by the end of 1998, "never" came around and the figure was slightly retooled and packaged with a Tauntaun that was basically impossible to find at retail. The figure was a vast improvement over the previous release in all areas, as his hood was now up, he had jointed knees, and oh yes-- he came with a Tauntaun. That's quite important. Keeping the same basic sculpt quality as the previous release, there were loads of textures and paint applications that made the figure good for its time. Since then, we've been given Han in his Hoth jacket in numerous colors (Blue, Brown, Black [Galoob]) and with his hood up or down. Heck, we've even had Han with removable goggles. So why is this one still neat?
Well, for starters, it's one of two Hoth Han molds sculpted to sit on a Tauntaun. The other was the 2003 version with the lightsaber and removable face mask. Second, it holds together nicely. While some fans may disagree, as a toy collector, I admire this figure because it is first and foremost a toy. Sure, the jacket is a color I don't see as correct, but the figure actually holds together. There's no danger of arms falling off, of a weapon breaking, or some other inappropriate problem. It's a solid plastic man that can take abuse and looks good riding his Tauntaun. You can't ask for much more than that, and 10 years later it still looks decent. Not perfect, but honestly the newer ones aren't all that much better than this one was. I wouldn't necessarily suggest tracking it down or paying a premium for it, but it was a fine example of Kenner trying to make good on a previously released and poorly received version of the same toy.
Collector's Notes: This particular figure was very highly sought-after for a couple of years. In 1998, Kenner made so much stuff that stores couldn't absorb it all-- so a lot of it got dumped into alternative channels like GameStops, where most toy collectors didn't frequent at the time. As such, this $15 creature pack was going for upwards of $60-$80 for quite some time. This has since died down, but the item seems to have been produced in fairly limited numbers, possibly meaning that it could be a genuinely hard-to-find item.

Disrupting the disruptor : perceptions as institutional maintenance work at the 1968 Olympic Games / Kwame J.A. Agyemang , Brennan K. Berg , Rhema D. Fuller
How people reflect on and discuss protests at sporting events is a relevant question of interest to sport management scholars. This article uses qualitative data to understand how institutional members reflect on and discuss a disruptive act that violates institutional rules and norms. The authors study the historical case of Tommie Smith and John Carlos' silent protest at the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City. Relying on interview data from Smith and Carlos' teammates (59) on the 1968 U.S. Olympic Team, the study highlights the connections between institutional maintenance work, institutional logics, and institutions.

Check for it here (so chic!): City Backpack
City Backpack!
Love 41 outdid themselves with this little number! I cannot believe how much stuff can fit in this "little" backpack. It held all the traditional items you might carry in a backpack like a Big Wallet, down jacket and lunch purse (see Backpack Battle here ), but I also used it as a diaper bag and the perfect compact backpack for your Farmer's Market leisure Sunday Funday. As a diaper bag, I was able to fit – 2 diapers (in the zipper pocket), phone (in small front pocket), large tupperware place holder, baby blanket, Desitin, to-go wipes (all in the main compartment) and keys in the large open pocket. To boot, there are two hidden pockets on either side in the interior, both with nipple closures. A simple credit card wallet fits perfectly in there and my phone (although I can't close it because it's too tall) sits in the other pocket. To haul stuff around for the Farmer's market, I had a full bottle of wine, a large water bottle, a bag of apples (!), a large tablet (large open pocket), keys (front zipper pocket) and phone (front open pocket). This amount of stuff and the weight would make me not want to walk around very long if I was carting this around the Farmer's Market in your traditional open tote, but as a backpack, you can easily hold the weight!
Nuts and Bolts:
- Western Cedar – Think tobacco, but with orange undertones (in the best way). It's the perfect fun neutral to whatever you have on.
- Exterior: 14"H x 11″W x 4″D
- Front zipped pocket: 6½"H x 8½" W x 3″ D
- Top front pocket-nipple rivet closure- 3 ¼" H x 8 ½" W
- Bottom front pocket: 4 ½"H x 10″ W
- Adjustable straps-total length is 30″
- Easy carry handle-2″ H
- 2.8 pounds

The Tell-Tale Heart
By Edgar Allan Poe
Psychoanalytical Response
The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe is narrated by a madman who is confessing to a murder. However, he is not telling us his deed because he feels remorse, but rather to prove he is not insane. The first sentence of the story says, "True!--nervous—very, very dreadfully nervous I have been and am; but why will you say that I am mad?" From the very beginning and throughout the story, the narrator insists that he is not mad. And to prove it, he talks about how carefully and cleverly he went about the murder he is now accused of.
The narrator is portrayed as having an obsessive personality through his motive to kill the old man. He admits he had no reason to kill him, but once the idea came to him, it haunted him. "It was not the old man who vexed me, but his Evil Eye." He then considers that his intention was to rid himself of the old man's eye. He appears to be obsessed with the eye, as he decides that it was the very reason which drove him to the murder.
When the police arrive at the house with intent to search it, the narrator confidently leads the officers through the house, and finally brings them to the room in which he committed the murder and hid the body. He places several chairs over the floor boards which covered the dead body and asks them to sit. Nevertheless, as they begin chatting, he grows restless and wishes they would go. He becomes very anxious and begins to panic, thinking that police were making a mockery of his horror. Finally the narrator can stand no more, and the story ends as he rises from his chair shouting, "I admit the deed! –tear up the planks! Here, here! -- It is the beating of his hideous heart!"
Throughout the story, it is made obvious that the narrator suffers from some sort of a psychological disorder. He shows no remorse for his deed, which perhaps makes him a sociopath. He also seems to suffer from anxiety and his thoughts are much distorted. The...

Deerest You,
This is the second weekly update of my internship at LMG. This week has been pretty busy but a lot of fun. Monday started the week off with a shoot at Barn Town Brewery, a client of ours. Not only did I help out assisting on set, but I got to be in the shoot for a few different parts. That's been one of my favorite shoots yet that I've been a part of. The restaurant atmosphere is always a lot of fun for me but working with our clients at Barn Town was also enjoyable and the hospitality was great. Lunch there was delicious — highly recommend stopping by to this cute little brewery if you haven't tried it yet. Jumping in on the shoot was never something I imagined doing and if you would've asked freshman me if I would jump in spontaneously on camera, I would've given a big "Hell no!" I ended up having a lot of fun with our film crew (who's always a good time to work with) and I've seen the leaps and bounds I've made to come to the point I'm at now.
This week I also put together some social media posts for a client that focused on reviews of their business. I researched some articles for the same client that were focused on weddings, wedding venues, and catering. The articles will be to post on their social media sites as well. I finished up some scheduling of Facebook posts for a different client so now I have officially scheduled a handful of clients' social media out until March (cheers to that!).
Today I learned about Spotify advertising, which is something we'll be adding to some of our clients' 2018 marketing plans. I'm really excited for this as I will be assisting in the management of this advertising medium while I'm at school. This is new for me and I'm incredibly eager to dive into a new platform and watch its performance. I'm also incredibly thankful that I have a boss who asks, "Do you want to do this?" with so many different opportunities and says "Okay sure!" when I ask if I can help. This has let me branch out and try a plethora of different things. Being able to do this has helped me learn, discover my likes and dislikes and gain confidence in my skill sets.
Tonight I'll be attending the World's Toughest Rodeo at Wells Fargo Arena courtesy of tickets from work. An agency job isn't so bad after all 😉 (Truly though, I absolutely love this job and the perks are just a sweet bonus).
Next week has some exciting things in store and I can't wait to give more updates on those as they come.
For now, happy Friday!
Yours Truly,

Nailed It is pure joy.
It appeared in my Netflix browsing scroll one evening, and I thought, "Oh, I love Pinterest baking fails. Is this a play on that?" And boy, is it ever! I would even venture to describe it as a sister piece to Queer Eye. And why not, since the announcement for both of the shows' second season renewals came on the same day.
Once you're done wiping away tears of empathy with the Fab Five, pop over to the other new Netflix reality show to wipe away tears from laughing too hard. Here are the top five reasons to give this hot mess of a cooking show a try if you haven't already.
5. Who needs production value?
Watching the first episode, you might be caught a bit off-guard with how non-chalant the production of the show feels, how sometimes mistakes happen and the entire vibe of the show seems pretty laid back. You'll seen realize watching a few more episodes, however, it's all on purpose.
Besides, the show's tagline is "Part reality contest, part hot mess." Leaning into the whole Instagram fail hook of the series, the show is like the Instagram fail of reality cooking competitions. And it makes it hell of a lot of fun.
4. The contestants actually matter
What's particularly great about this cooking competition is how memorable the contestants are, and not only that but the batch of contestants for each episode always end up having great rapport with each other, too. Best of all are the contestants who, instead of embracing their mediocre baking skills, they actually think they're much better than they're skills prove to be.
Standout contestants include my favorite Amanda, a frazzled southern grandmother, Michael "Good Time Mike" who thinks he's the best there is and a guy named Sal who simply refuses to play against the rules and eventually gives up to join the judges at their table.
3. Oh the horror of the cooking catastrophes
Everybody loves to watch people try and fail miserably, right? Some of these baking fails the contestants manage to churn out without burning the studio down are a true marvel. Some are so laughably bad, they even get host Nicole Byer cackling right to the contestants' faces. There are some creations, such as the princess cake from the clip below, that are truly memorable and might even turn up in your nightmares.
2. Stage manager Wes is hot
Leaning into the show's purposely shoddy production value, the introduction of one of the crew members, a tall burly stage manager named Wes becomes a central recurring joke. Host Nicole Byer frequently calls out to him for any missing props or trophies and also just blatantly hits on him. We stan their relationship forever.
1. Nicole Byer is the best host
And speaking of Nicole Byer, hopefully this hosting gig propels her further into the limelight. She's had a previous show, Loosely Exactly Nicole, but this is her highest level of exposure yet and a perfect platform and showcase for her unbridled talents. She's a star in the making with perfect comic timing and stage presence. I do really hope the world gives her the attention she deserves after this.
And as an added bonus, now her Twitter feed is just her responding to folks who insist on tagging her in their own baking fails. Her timeline is worth a scroll.
And now that the show has been renewed for a season two (hopefully for more than just six episodes), we can look forward to more Nailed It! Catch up on Netflix now.

PEOPLE enjoyed celebrating Portuguese culture at a special barbecue in Watton at the weekend.
Throughout June in Portugal people mark the Festas dos Santos Populares (Feast Days of the Popular Saints) with a whole host of festivities including parades, live music, parties and feasting.
And on Saturday in Watton people marked this important time in the Portuguese calendar with a barbecue where people could try a range of Portuguese food including caldo verde (a green soup), sardinhas and carapaus (Portuguese fish) with bread, and chourico assado (chorizo).
Tina Cruz, from Watton Family Support which organised the event, said nearly 100 people - a mix of Portuguese, British, Polish and Lithuanian people - came to the barbecue at The Surge.
She described it as an unforgettable day with wonderful weather, plenty of music, and people of many different nationalities enjoying themselves.
She said she wanted to thank everyone who helped to make the event such a success and that she hoped the event would be held again next year.

This will be so helpful for my students. Thanks!
Adobe Indesign Newspaper Templates
Here are 5 different newspaper templates made with Adobe Indesign. They are all A4 in size and are have been created utilising Paragraph, Character and Object styles, so everything is easy to modify. These files could be used across all curriculum areas.
* (Updated 23rd May 2019) Thanks to everyone who has downloaded these files and for all the constructive feedback - especially Donna :)
I created these a while ago when I first started using Indesign so they were not created using best practice. I have now updated them in regards to changing the character styles to paragraph styles, better aligned some of the objects and also created a template version and an IDML version of each file, so early users of Indesign should be able to open them. All fonts used are generic system fonts so should not be a problem.
Enjoy, and don't forget to follow me.

Agile … is an attitude, not a technique with boundaries. An attitude has no boundaries, so we wouldn't ask 'can I use agile here?', but rather 'how would I act in the agile way here?' or 'how agile can we be, here?'- Alistair CockburnComputer scientist
Agility describes a modern-day form of work organization, which has flexibility, adaptability and rapid development in short, iterative cycles as its primary goals. By delivering software regularly, the added value is created at an early stage, and the changes needed can be recognized and implemented in a timely fashion. Processes are deliberately kept lean. Communications and transparency are central elements of agile organization.
Teams are characterized by a high degree of responsibility, self-management and freedom of choice. An agile culture is an important prerequisite for the successful introduction of agile methods. Agile organization is especially useful in complex projects and environments, as unexpected changes can regularly occur in such environments – requiring a change in planning.
The use of agile methods in software development is becoming increasingly relevant to companies. With flexible and lean development processes, web solutions can be developed more rapidly and with a closer orientation toward the customer. This reduces development costs and shortens the time-to-market. The aim is to deliver implementable software as soon as possible as well as receiving rapid and regular feedback from the customer – and to use it for further work.
At BeezLabs we work according to the guidelines of the Agile Manifesto and, among other things, uses agile methods such as Scrum and Kanban extensively in all phases of the development process.

" The blinded eye spoke,
Of the headless toads
Being used for growing organs,
For transplants.
For it is far more profitable,
To sell parts, than to prevent
Or even cure man's ill fated,
Self inflicted diseases.
I can't find a straw in my revery,
Nor comfort in my ideals,
For while among the heretics,
Burn the flag and touch their hearts,
With ecstacy and porno films.
I too wonder who painted
The seas of understanding,
For among the shining, we shine."

Achieving happiness is a universal desire felt by most people. The road to reaching this happiness, however, is unique for every individual. Many happy people have several attitudes and mindsets in common – Nando Caporicci outlines a few tips to gaining health of body and mind to achieve happiness today.
Take Care of Your Body
Sometimes living in ways that are detrimental to our bodies can provide short bursts of happiness – like indulging in unhealthy food or abusing drugs – but this never lasts. Taking part in unhealthy habits for short-term joy is an unsustainable way to achieve true happiness.
On the other hand, Nando Caporicci states that taking care of your body is the first step to health and happiness. This translates to different rules and actions in many cultures, but the important part to keep in mind is to stick to a healthy routine. This includes:
- Choosing a diet that is not just healthy, but that you know you can stick to
- Taking part in physical activity on a daily basis
- Protecting your skin from harmful chemicals (wearing sunscreen, using gloves when cleaning your home)
Taking proper care of your body, whether you are old or young, will allow you to live a life that is not just long, but overall better. Better health allows you to take part in the activities you enjoy and live without limits.
Be Authentic like Nando Caporicci
What are the values that are true to you? Nando urges you to answer this question for yourself and live authentically by following your values.
Too many people live their lives according to other people's rules without realizing that it is making them unhappy. Although it can be easy to pretend to agree with others and go along with someone else's values, it takes effort to keep up the charade. It's much more fulfilling to be authentic and commit actions that are in line with who you are and what you believe.
Living this way also allows you to steer clear of guilt and regret. If every action you make is in line with your personal values, you will know that you are making the right decisions for you and for those you care about.
Stay Mindful
Don't keep the reflex of living life on autopilot. Be mindful and aware of your actions as well as your state of mind and body.
By staying mindful, you'll know what brings you pain and what brings you joy, and thus be better informed about what to avoid and what to pursue to achieve happiness.
Surround Yourself with People You Want to Become
Have you heard the saying that you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with?
Take a close look at your entourage. Are there any toxic people close to you? Sometimes we decide to keep a toxic person in our life because we feel like we owe them, but this shouldn't come at the price of your happiness.
Enjoy the Road
No matter how you choose to achieve happiness, Nando Caporicci reminds you that happiness is not at the end of the road – it is found on the road itself.

Dating Advice for Cross Dressers (Male to Female Transgender / Crossdressing Tips)
So let's explore some of the possibilities that are open to you for meeting and dating these women:
1) Specialist Dating Services
|[product sku="0629DC"]
|[product sku="T-11B"]
In today's times you can find online dating sites that cater to certain kinds of people with particular preferences. For example there are fetish dating sites for people who have a particular kink and there are dating services for people who seek a dominant or submissive partner to go out with. Likewise you can also find dating sites for transvestites and transgender people.
But you should know that many of them seem to be catering to straight men who want to go out with a feminine or cross-dressing man. I know it's surprising but that's the way it is. So you must make sure you find a site that caters to you and tries to hook up cross-dressers with women who love cross-dressers.
Also, you can expect that not many women would join such dating services. There will be some so it might be worth looking into them, but this is certainly not the best way to find CD friendly women.
2) Costume Parties
There are two sides to this one. On the one hand, costume parties are a great excuse to have fun going out in women's clothes. You can openly show this side of yourself to the women you're chatting up and they'll have a clear picture of it when you finally tell them that you are a transvestite.
The downside is that there is no way of knowing if any of the women you meet are particularly into "travesti" transvestites. I know it seems logical that such women would go to those kind of parties but that's not how women typically go about dating men. And dressing up is always fun for women so there are plenty of reasons for going to costume parties without having ulterior motives.
3) Crossdressing clubs and gatherings
These are great for living out your clothes style just the way you want and having fun meeting like minded people. If you've ever been to one then you'll already know that there are few single women at these places. That doesn't mean you can't find a date there but it will be hard. The great advantage is that those women who are there will definitely be of the kind that like cross-dressers. Still, I think specialized clubs and meetings are best for meeting fellow cross-dressers rather than dating women.
4) Going out dressed with a 'hint'
My boyfriend used to do this and I'm not surprised it didn't work. Basically you dress normally but with some elements of femininity in your appearance. For example you could wear tight fitting jeans or the subtlest of make-up. Or you could wear a girl's top in some light color. It's not that I don't like it, but the problem is that people will almost certainly assume you're gay which doesn't help you find women who take you seriously. No matter how subtle you are about hinting some femininity, women will notice it and they will read into it – probably not what you want them to read into it. As for men, you'll notice them starting to make advances toward you. So one reason I don't like my boyfriend doing this, is because he gets eyed up by guys a lot. "cossdressing tips"
It might work but more often than not, it will backfire.
5) Make your own woman who loves cross-dressers
This is by far the best and most promising thing you can do. Just date many women without revealing or hinting anything about cross-dressing. Then, once you've started to get close and she shows a lasting interest in you, tell her about it casually. The majority of women who like cross-dressers "crossdresser" don't even know that they do. That's how I got into cross-dressing men. This also sorts out the problem with convincing women that cross-dressers are straight. It is very important to do it the right way
This also has a nice little side effect for other cross-dressers: You're 'spreading the word' that cross-dressers are great partners and that they are often straight. "transgender tips"

American Hospitals report higher numbers of C-Sections
While we understand that some women are not able to have the vaginal births they hoped for, we encourage everyone to research and learn about all options available for the healthiest delivery of your little one. For many years, women have been successfully delivering their babies vaginally, though there are instances when a Cesarean Section (surgical procedure) is medically necessary for the safety of the mother and/or child. However, there is a troubling trend in the U.S. in recent years of an increased number of women delivering via c-section.
HealthGrades has recently reported that the number of c-section births is now at an all-time high. Between 2002 and 2009, the number of cesarean deliveries rose significantly, from 27 percent of births to 34 percent. This new report is based on information obtained from 19 U.S. states. Many mothers, soon-to-be mothers, and future mothers may be wondering why this number continues to increase so drastically. Have there been changes in health status or policies over the last decade that results in such a sudden increase?
According to the report, some of the reasons the number of cesarean deliveries are on the rise include:
- Convenience in delivery timing for the doctor or the mother
- Women giving birth later in life, which raises the risk of complications during pregnancy and delivery
- An increase in maternal risk factors, such as obesity and diabetes
- Increase in multiple births, sometimes due to the more frequent use of fertility treatments
- Increased willingness of doctors to perform c-sections
- Pregnant women's lack of understanding of the potentially serious complications of c-sections
- Pregnant women requesting c-sections
- Fear of malpractice for not doing a c-section
- Common labor practices, such as inducing labor or using epidural drugs
While there are certainly other factors that can contribute to the need for a c-section, women are encouraged to be as knowledgeable of their choices as possible. This includes being selective in the process of finding a provider (OB and/or midwife), as well as researching the statistics of c-section rates in your hospital or birth center of interest. Asking questions of your provider regarding their experience, as well as having dialogue regarding the circumstances where a c-section will be necessary is important in lowering your risk. Additionally, researching and beginning discussions surrounding alternative methods of care can help to lower c-section risks.
What can providers and expectant mothers do to provide the opportunity for the lowest risk experience into motherhood without resulting in a surgical procedure? How can providers and expectant mothers work together so that prenatal care is improved, alternative methods are sought for mothers with risk factors, and the chance for c-sections are decreased? The reasons listed above included elements of fear, lack of knowledge, routine, pre-existing conditions, age, time, and convenience. While these items are definitely important factors to consider when researching birth options, they are not the only factors to consider. Risks of infection, healing time, immediate bonding, post-partum needs, and planning future pregnancies are important factors to consider also.
In addition, the report also highlighted that:
- 7 percent of women having babies in hospitals had a complication. If all hospitals performed at the level of the best-rated hospitals, 32 percent of these complications (141,869) might have been avoided.
- Of the 19 states included in the report, the highest rates of C-section deliveries were in Florida (38.6 percent) and New Jersey (38 percent). The lowest rate was in Utah (22.4 percent).
One may wonder why certain states have higher rates of c-sections than others. Is it attributed to the environment, social economic status, current health status of the mother-to-be, or health insurance options? Are there ethical or other fundamental factors contributing to the difference in data across states? Others may also be wondering how we can begin to talk about ways that our healthcare system can come to a medium where our levels of service and performance can increase so that our risk for complications decreases. If best-rated hospitals are seeing lower numbers of complications during pregnancy and delivery, then how can we begin to standardize resources so that other facilities are able to achieve the same outcomes?
There are so many questions that can be asked in regards to this increase and more components to finding where the increase is stemming from. However, what is important to remember is that a healthy birth for both mother and baby is important not only to that moment, but the future births the mother may experience. C-sections may be necessary depending on the circumstance. The support of both mother and her provider working together in order to decrease risks are fundamental in providing more women with the vaginal birth that many hope for.

Why you should study IT Management
Prague is an epicenter for the Information Technology field. One brief scan of postings on Jobs.cz or Expats.cz demonstrates how many companies are looking for quality employees eager to navigate the complicated world of Information Technology. To ensure our students remain competitive job candidates after graduation, University of New York in Prague is now offering a new program in IT Management.
"IT is synonymous with everything that's out there in the workforce, whether it be medical, business, marketing, communications," says Michael Williams, lecturer and head of the new program.
While there is stiff competition in the IT field of study among universities in Prague, UNYP's program distinguishes itself by blending technical skills with a Business Administration approach, allowing students to be well qualified for management positions in global corporations.
"There's a big grey area between IT and users," Williams says. "If you work in IT, you have to learn how to communicate and negotiate with executives and the organization that you're providing support for. You have to learn to market what it is you want to do, and you need to communicate it to people who are not always the most tech savvy."
The current program features many fundamental courses which focus on computers and applications, e-commerce and marketing technologies, and information management. Although the program is only 6 months old, computer coding classes will be offered in the near future. Unlike other schools that put more emphasis on math and coding, our program stresses the importance of international commerce, a vital concept in today's business environment.
In the short term, Williams wants to focus on keeping the curriculum as relevant to the current business climate as possible and getting more women into the program. "Women in technology will be the dominant trend in the future," he says. "Statistics show women are scoring higher in math and applied sciences, but the male culture of field can discourage them from pursuing careers in tech."
Looking further ahead, Williams would like to offer more concentrations, including courses on cybersecurity and cloud technology. "Overall, we want to stay flexible and look at what's in demand from companies," he says, "especially since IT plays a major part in making sure an organization is successful."

A French-inspired, grain-free entrée specially prepared with chicken, lentils, potatoes, cheese, and fruit & vegetables
The following are general feeding recommendations. Many factors including age, breed, activity level, and individual metabolism contribute to the need for adjusting portion sizes. Two to four times more food may be required for puppies, gestating dogs, and nursing dogs. Spayed or neutered dogs may require up to 25% less food.
The following chart provides a good place to start, but determining the correct amount of food for your pet depends upon your evaluation of your pet's overall performance on the amount of food consumed along with any treats given.

Just after lunch, everyone gathered in the small conference room: me, Randy, Ryan, and several of the officers based in Ukraine, but no one started the meeting. I was absently tapping my pen against the transcripts I'd been perusing when the door opened and two more men entered. Even in my peripheral vision I immediately sensed David.
"Our British friends are here," commented the head Kherson officer, a man named Carl, before deferring to Ryan with a nod.
"I'm sure you all know that MI6 keeps a close eye on the same things we do, especially with so many trafficking victims ending up the UK." I could hear Ryan's voice, coming from my right, but I was too busy trying to act calm to respond, so he continued. "They're here for a briefing on this new twist the Atanasovs are up to, which we're only too happy to provide, as a professional courtesy."
David's face was a mask of calm as he nodded politely. "We appreciate the consideration."

"For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread. But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing. And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother." 2 Thessalonians 3:11-15 (KJV)
Those who do not work are some of the disorderly. This is of course speaking of able-bodied people who can work but will not do so. They are meddlesome, mischievous rascals who need to be dealt with for the good of the Church, and for their own well being.
Of course in the day which we live people are dependent more upon government welfare, and food stamps services; even professing Christians. It should still be the case, even the law of creation tells us that if you do not work you will not eat. Work is not a curse, but a blessing that benefits the worker, his family, the society he/she lives in.
"…Be not weary in well doing" is an encouragement to those who work to keep on working. Whatever honest work you are doing keep on doing it, and do it as to the Lord (Ephesians 6:5-8). That is right work as if you are doing it for the Lord; because you are, if it is in a work that is pleasing and honoring to His name.
If any will not hear the Word, we are told "Not to keep company" with them so that they will be shamed. He is speaking of saved people, because he says, "Do not count him as an enemy, but… as a brother."

So its been a slow couple of days here for me and my websites. Yesterday morning I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed. Its not a painful a process as most people make it out to be, I was asleep in about five seconds, and was given novacane before I went home to mask most of the pain. After that, I began taking the prescription medication that they give you, so their is not a whole lot of pain to speak of. However I will say that I am much more tired than usual, and its from the meds, so it has been hard to get anything done, although I am getting back into the swing of things.
I have been backlinking my affiliate snipers like crazy in recent weeks. Using a variety of link building tools (all 100% white hat), mainly article submissions, and I am already seeing some results. Ive got about 15 new sites setup that I would consider "money" sites, and they are all doing the first page google dance, so its only a matter of time before they hit that number one spot and start to churn some real cash.
New Sites
I have been buying domains like a mad man as of late, most of which I plan to put sites up on later, some of which though hold resale value right off the bat, and all of which get type in traffic. I only hand register domains, but I take advantage of the expired lists that come out daily to help pad my portfolio.
60 Day Challenge
Im moving along in the sixty day challenge, and once I have all of the current sites properly backlinked I am going to move towards building more amazon sniper sites. To me these are the coolest because so many products have such little competition in Google, that its easy to snipe your way to the top. The sites will only end up making 50 cents to a dollar a day on average (I would assume) but with 50 to 100 sites, it can make a pretty big difference.
Thats all for now, ill chat with you all later.

Allen & Heath marks 50th anniversary within a Space Odyssey
Allen & Heath marks 50th anniversary within a Space Odyssey
For those Stanley Kubrick fans entering Kensington's Design Museum on an early September evening, some of the exhibits may have looked out of place. Clockwork Orange was off the menu in a large section of the upmarket W8 London property as Allen & Heath hosted its international distributors and renowned mixing engineers for a special 50th anniversary party.
As Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin took those first small steps for man on the moon back in 1969, founders Steve Batiste and Andy Bereza embarked on their own giant leap into the unknown, establishing Allen & Heath in the corner of a factory in swinging London. The exhibits shown within the Design Museum – including the analogue console used by Pink Floyd in Pompeii – marked 50 years of mixing innovation from the company that relocated to Cornwall in 1981.
'It's inspiring to take stock of all we've achieved together in the past 50 years, but looking at the new developments in the pipeline, I can safely say that the best is yet to come,' commented MD Rob Clark.
The secret of Allen & Heath's success? 'Excitement,' furthered Clark. 'We're excited by sharing in our customers' ambitions, and by the technologies that will help to achieve them. That's what keeps us striving to innovate and improve.' Allen & Heath's loyal gathering of APAC partners had made the long journey to London for the special occasion, including Simon Adams from Jansen Professional Audio together with Australian TAG teamsters Andy Crawford and Stephen Bray.
'It's become a cliché to talk about listening to your customers, but that direct connection with the people who have their hands on the faders is absolutely essential, and I think it shows in all that we do,' added Clark. For Clark and Allen & Heath's global family of supporters, discussions continued well into the night and on the long coach ride back to Cornwall afterwards, which will no doubt stimulate the next round of R&D innovations.
'It's taken us 24 hours on flights from Sydney here to London,' remarked TAG's Allen & Heath product manager, Andy Crawford. 'This year, we've driven our Allen & Heath #Ampervan to indigenous communities in the Outback. As part of our TAG Cares promotion, we donated SQ and Qu mixers. It's fair to say that we'd drive to the moon and back for Allen & Heath.'

On this day in 1695, Philadelphia Sherer wrote to Thomas Bowrey from Fort St. George replying to a letter he had sent from England via Captain Hatton. He had given her an account of his health and welfare. Bowrey had provided some assistance to Mrs Sherer's mother and children.
Bowrey's Papers allow us to construct a little of her life. She was originally known to Bowrey as Philadelphia Lesly the sister of his friend and business partner, Robert Masfen. At that time she was a widow with three children who Bowrey had shown some kindness. After their uncle's death. the children were sent home to England to be cared for by Philadelphia's mother. She had married Charles Sherer, a merchant and free merchant like Bowrey, a few years prior to today's letter. Charles became a business associate of Bowrey's in India.
This is just one example of the range and depth of Bowrey's Papers and why they are such an important source for researchers.

"Your children wear their backpacks to school,
Our children wear their backpacks to heaven.
Imagine your child leaving you in the morning,
Only to come home in their coffin.
Imagine kissing your child goodbye in the morning,
Only to realize that was your last goodbye."

We can't wipes your tears, can't heal all your wound, can't hug to disappear all of your fear, can't protect your life. Children are dying, they're witnessing their family members being killed, they have no where safe to be. Forgive us, forgive us that can't do anything for you all…
Oh please, free our Syirian child from this crazy regime, they know nothing but saddest things. Let them live in peace, enjoy their childhood with pours of love from their parents. Stop to kill their parents, please stop to take their happiness. May Allah always guide all of you. May Allah grant all your patience with eternal happiness in Jannah. I love you, Syirian child and every moslem kids all around the world.
Don't forget our brothers and sisters in Palestine, Rohingya, Eygpt too. Please always pray for them…

Article by Bryan Howard
August 6, 2019
Beto O'Rourke appeared on Sunday's leftist podcast 'Pod Save America.' During this episode O'Rourke announced he would support the idea of a mandatory gun buy back policy. This would force citizens to give up their guns at a lesser amount than they are valued at. Not to mention stripping citizens second amendment rights.
Beto O'Rourke was asked if he would support "gun licenses and mandatory buyback programs like they did in Australia?"
O'Rourke answered, "Yes, and I'm open to them right now as a candidate."
O'Rourke continued, "It absolutely has to be a part of the conversation. If at the end of the day it's going to save lives, if it's going to prevent the kind of tragedies that we saw in El Paso or Gilroy or Dayton or this weekend in Chicago or all over this country on a daily basis, then let's move forward and do it."
O'Rourke said, "I know that when we define the right thing, the goal, we will find the political will to get there and I know it's not easy. I come from Texas and this is a very proud, gun-owning state, but I know from listening to people in Texas — gun owners, Republicans, non-gun owners, Democrats, Independents, everyone — people want to make sure that their kids are ok, that their families are safe, that their children don't fear the future or going into school or being at a concert, or going to Walmart on a Saturday morning."
O'Rourke concluded, "So yeah, absolutely"

Making a blog could be tricky at the start. Anyone can make a blog, but separating yourself and becoming unique is the hard part. If you'd like to learn more about how to make a blog, use this article's tips and you'll be on the way.
Make search engine optimization a priority when setting up your blog. As you wish to appeal to the widest range of viewers possible, then it is important that the blog is visible within search results. Keywords should be contained within the title, and within the blog article itself, if the reader numbers are to be increased.
Try to be there for your readers constantly. Make writing a blog habitual for both you as well as your readers. Your readers expect that you will give them content they can use. You should remember that you have many readers who will be disappointed if you decide to quit running a blog.
Don't go overboard with SEO keywords, extra plugins, advertising, or pictures. This will send up red flags to the search engines, which will negate all of your previous efforts. Keep your writing natural, and let it flow in a smooth style.
Search Engine
Don't let yourself copy other people's material. Never plagiarize, as it will rapidly ruin your reputation. You do not have to be a professional writer to find success with a blog. The main thing that you need is to be passionate about what you are writing.
Make sure your blog incorporates search engine optimization. Because you want people to start reading your blog, you have to be certain that the blog is listed highly in search engine results for specific topics. Choose your keywords wisely, and make sure to place them in the titles, as well as in the content of your blog, to increase how many readers you are getting.
Write blog posts that are interesting to your readers. Everyone does daily chores like vacuuming or washing dishes. Unless you have a unique way of presenting such common information, your readers really aren't going to care. Pick topics that people will be intrigued by. Remember that you want to attract readers to your page; that is the point of blogging after all.
A great way to get some free advertising is simply to be active in your writing a blog sector with comments. If you have a Google Reader account, set up a folder specifically for blogs that relate to your niche or running a blog topic. Comment on these regularly, when there is something you want to divulge.
It can be helpful to include lists in your blog. Regardless of the topic you're writing about, utilizing lists is of importance for blogs. Lists are useful for organizing and highlighting a post's most important information, and readers appreciate them.
Post new content to your blog on a regular basis. New content on a regular basis is the only way that your blog will experience an increase of viewers. Without a relatively steady supply of interesting, relevant content, readers will have few reasons to come back. Running A Blog daily will significantly improve your traffic.
Let your readers follow you more easily by providing them with the relevant social media links. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and many others social networking sites are highly advantageous to your success and author recognition. These sites will give you many opportunities to interact with your site visitors and attract more readers.
Don't let blog posting take over your life. If you allow things to get out of balance, you'll burn out and not be able to produce new content. Make sure to give yourself time off from writing a blog. Take time out for a walk, visit with friends or just take a five minute break. This allows you to return to writing a blog fresh.
Maintain the health of your blog. This means you are performing all necessary maintenance and changing little things here and there. Your readers will remain interested and they will have fewer, if any problems when they visit your blog page.
Guest Bloggers
As soon as possible, initiate your blog's mailing list. The sooner you begin compiling your list, the more time you will have to grow it. This list will help you increase your revenue as time goes on. It can be a paramount mistake to not begin a mailing list at the beginning of your efforts.
Guest bloggers are a great boon to blogs. You will increase the interest in your blog by adding quality content. This also leads to an increase in quality traffic when these guest bloggers alert their readers to the content on your blog. Utilizing the services of different guest bloggers helps give your blog a sense of community and diversity.
Strive to be patient as you wait for your readership to grow. Remember, it will take time for your blog to gain traffic. Content is key to gain readers, and it will take a bit of time to have a broad range of content to attract large numbers of readers. The longer you stick to blogging, the more content you'll accumulate, and the more readers will be interested in it.
When feedback is given on your blog, respond to it. However, do not let it emotionally affect you. People will always criticize you no matter what the topic is. Improve your blog by taking constructive criticism to heart. Negative criticism need not make you feel like a failure. Just take it for what it is, post a polite response, and then move on. By doing this, you will show your readers that you know how to take the high road and build their respect, as well as your readership.
You should be passionate about your blog topic. Your content will be more interesting to your readers, if it is about something that you care about. This makes it easier to connect with your followers, which in turn will improve the overall quality of your blog!
Set your blog to accept comments from visitors and post answers to them. That way, visitors can take an active role in your blog and you can begin to build strong relationships with them. If your readers see that you regularly reply to reader comments, they will come back to your blog to see if you have answered their comment.
Use bold and italics to set off your keywords from the rest of your text. This makes them easier to read, and search engines may rank sites with such keywords more highly than they would otherwise. You want your keywords to stand out so your readers will click on it faster.
Now you can make a blog that differs from the others. If you want to have success with running a blog, then you must have patience. Use the tips suggested in this article if you want to increase your number of followers.
Make effective use of social media to enhance your blog audience. Because social media is such a popular method of communication these days, ignoring these modalities can mean losing out on lots of potential blog traffic. Syndicating your blog posts on sites like Twitter and Facebook is critical to creating a great blog with lots of readers.
