Dr. Theresa Bernardo from Michigan State University will be presenting. The U.S. was a leader in the development and deployment of 20th Century industrial technologies and organizational systems that provided unprecedented national prosperity. They are becoming inadequate, however, for 21st Century challenges, as evidenced by the costly failures now faced in housing, health care, defense, energy, finance and economic systems. We need to apply advances in the sciences of complexity, computing and communications to address health, humanitarian, energy, ecosystem, and disaster management. Innovation in the application of social media for serious purposes is being driven by urgent needs, such as emergency response. Its greatest utility, however, may prove to be through promoting healthy people, communities, environments and economies.
Dr. Theresa Bernardo will describe some of the innovations she encountered while working in global public health to stimulate discussion of parallels with extension efforts in the U.S. During the H1N1 Pandemic, web collaboration software was used for communication among Ministers of Health, epidemiologists and emergency responders throughout the hemisphere. Real time on-the-ground intelligence provided through social media proved to be invaluable in the response to the Haitian earthquake of January 2010. It was initially used to locate survivors in the rubble, but also played an important role in coordinating distribution of aid and in subsequent disease surveillance. The formation of "cloud communities" for response is now being applied to "building back better" to address longer term needs for clean water and sanitation, housing, shelter, education, employment and environmental sustainability.
Theresa M. Bernardo served as Manager of Knowledge Management and Communication for the Americas Region of the WHO (UN/WHO/PAHO) from 2009 – 2010. Previously she was Director of the Information Technology Center and Associate Professor of Epidemiology at the College of Veterinary Medicine, Michigan State University. Before coming to MSU, Dr. Bernardo spent a decade working in international development, primarily in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Dr. Bernardo received her DVM from the University of Guelph, Canada and a Master's of Science in Epidemiology from the University of Prince Edward Island, Canada. She has dedicated her career to the application of new technologies to improve global health and education.

A few weeks ago I found myself doing a much needed clean-out of my closet. Naturally, I came across pieces that I hadn't worn in a very long time, which usually means that it's time to throw them in the donation pile. But instead I found myself holding onto them, debating what I should do.
In that moment I realized something particularly profound. That giving away these clothes meant letting go of something that I no longer am, skinny.
Don't get me wrong, I am not delusional. I am well aware that I am what society would consider "thin". This is my natural build and one that I suspect some people torture themselves to have. The skinny that I am referring to is the frail, rail-like skinny that I used to be. The bone-popping, thigh-gap skinny that I wore proudly. The skinny that was hungry and overworked.
A long time ago I heard my idol Oprah Winfrey say something that ended up sticking with me for years. It was something along the lines of "never buy bigger jeans, keep working to fit into your old ones". While I respect Oprah in many domains, weight-loss and body image isn't one of them. If I knew then what I know now, I never would have listened. But of course hindsight is 20/20.
Nevertheless, I listened and I did everything in my power to fit into those jeans. In the process I discovered the secret to skinny. Spoiler alert: it's not worth it.
This secret would end up taking over my life for more years than I wish to tell. Being skinny was my first priority. I masked my attempts in the face of "health" but inside I knew what I was doing. And here's exactly what I did:
I ate a lot of salads.
I worked out every single day. On most days it was a mix of cardio and weights and on "rest days" I walked/ran on a steep incline on the treadmill.
Diet coke was my best friend.
Calories were meant to be counted.
If I was drinking, I either ate less or worked out more and these "drinks" usually consisted of shots…lots of shots.
I looked at my body in the mirror, a lot.
Binge days would happen that usually started with a hangover, followed by a jumbo-sized bag of PB m&ms with a side order of guilt.
And here's how I felt:
Exhausted. My body was literally crying out for rest. By-products of this negligence still remain to this day i.e. chronic leg and back pain.
Hungry. Food was on my mind all.the.time
Guilty. I actually felt ashamed if I skipped a workout or binged.
Frustrated. I felt like no matter what I did I could never look how I wanted to look.
I had discovered the secret to skinny, but I lost all the joy in my life.
My habits today are far removed from that girl who ran endless miles and ate rabbit food for sustenance. They changed because I wanted them to. Because once I figured out the secret to skinny, I realized it wasn't worth it. I valued living my life over planning it.
How I came to these conclusions is a post for another day and quite honestly is still an ongoing process. For the most part I now eat when and what I want and move my body when and how it wants to but not surprisingly some of my clothes no longer fit. I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a moment where I thought of dear old Oprah's saying and considered doing what I had to to get back in those jeans.
I knew I had what it took to look skinny in my skinny jeans. I'd done it once, I could do it again. But while I definitely looked skinny, it was the furthest thing from how I felt.
I may have paused for a second to think about my decision but ultimately I knew those clothes belonged in the donation pile. I wasn't turning back. Instead, I made the choice to accept myself, exactly as I am. Someone who is smart, driven, successful and beautiful. Someone who loves to walk and hike and fuel my body with veggies and wine. Sometimes more wine than veggies, and sometimes those veggies are french fries. Most of the time they're not.
Giving away those clothes was the final straw in letting go of all of the negative habits that had previously taken over my life. It meant choosing to live each day as my happiest self instead of my skinniest self. Discovering that these two concepts are not intertwined is the greatest gift I ever could have received.
I now know the secret to happy and trust me folks, it looks nothing like skinny.
No questions, just your thoughts.
What could S2B and PN Coaching possibly have in common?
At a recent workshop in Toronto, I had the chance to chat with some guys enrolled in the Scrawny to Brawny coaching program. We talked about their struggles to get big—the opposite problem that people in the PN Coaching program have.
But then I realized we all had a lot in common.
- After all, PN Coaching clients are trying to get smaller and leaner. They have to learn to eat less.
- Scrawny to Brawnies are trying to get bigger and heavier. They have to learn to eat more.
- Both groups have to learn new eating patterns that go against their "normal" inclinations and habits.
At first, I pooh-poohed the idea that it would be hard to eat more. I mean, c'mon. Even as a small woman, with sufficient enthusiasm and enough nut butter and beef brisket, I could easily pack in the allotted caloric requirements for Scrawnies.
But the more I chatted with the guys, the more I learned that these folks found it genuinely hard to eat to excess… and the more I realized that their "natural" leanness had as much to do with their outlook and behaviors as it did with their physiological makeup.
I got to thinking that many of their experiences and insights would be useful to clients looking to lose fat and weight. So, I hit up a bunch of other "naturally skinny" dudes for input. Lots of guys responded to my questions, and I got some great advice.
[For a quick summary of this advice, click here. Or read on for more…]
Summary and Recommendations
So, does this mean that naturally skinny people are lurking in supermarket aisles, judging our carts, and wondering if we're crazy? No, of course not. Nor does it mean that being a naturally skinny person automatically makes you healthier.
It simply means that their experiences and perspectives suggest that much of over-eating behavior is learned—it's built from childhood experiences, our outlook and worldview, social messages, and familiar habits.
How can you learn to think and act like a naturally skinny person in order to reap the benefits for fat loss? Here are some tips.
Final thoughts, from one naturally skinny person:
I think one thing I would like people to know is that just because I am skinny doesn't mean I am healthy.Prior to S2B, I was not healthy. I try to promote an open dialogue about health and nutrition between people, but sometimes people seem nervous or afraid to mention they are trying to improve their health.I think in many cases people who are very thin and those who are over-fat both need to be healthier, but the goals are slightly different. My friend who is trying to lose weight and I (trying to gain weight) frequently talk about our goals and "meeting each other in the middle".Even though we have different goals we can motivate each other to be healthier, happier people.
Next week, we have a surprise for the Scrawnies: The PN Coaching clients weigh in with some tips for getting huge.
Why You Can't Lose Fat
You underestimate How Much You Eat
If you can't lose fat, it's because you're eating too much.
You probably think yo don't eat a lot. But you are. Otherwise you wouldn't be struggling to lose fat.
Maybe you "eat healthy". But that doesn't matter either. If your "healthy diet" doesn't create a caloric deficit, you will not lose fat.
The truth is that most people are terrible at estimating how many calories they eat a day.
They dramatically underestimate how much they really eat.
Here's proof: track how many calories you eat per day for a week using an app like Myfitnesspal.
A lot of people end up shocked to discover that some of their favorite foods that they think were "healthy" contain tons of calories.
Those excess calories are what are keeping you fat.
You Overestimate How Much You Burn
Cardio is a waste of time for most people.
An hour on the treadmill usually burns about 500 calories.
That's the equivalent of one big mac (without the fries and coke) or one "Frappuccino" at Starbucks (without the cake or muffin).
So you can easily undo that hour of cardio by just eating one high calorie meal or drink.
And yet many guys think they can eat whatever they want because they do an hour of cardio each day.
You can't.
Cardio is only going to burn a lot of calories if you can spend several hours in the gym each day.
If you can train like an athlete, then you can eat whatever you want without getting fat.
But I don't think you have the time to train that much.
You're therefore going to have to watch what you eat.
Otherwise you won't lose fat.
You're Not Eating Enough Calories
If eating 500kcal per day less makes you lose 1lb of fat per week… then eating 1000kcal/day less must be even better, right?
The more fat you lose, the more you need to further reduce your daily caloric intake to continue to lose fat.
If you reduce your calories by 1000kcal/day from week one, what are you going to do when you're no more losing fat on that?
Besides nobody can stick to low calorie, 1200kcal/day diets long-term.
No matter how much willpower you have, eventually you'll get hungry and binge.
That's how tons of people end up gaining all the weight they lost back (plus more).
More isn't better when it comes to losing fat.
You Waste Your Time Eating Healthy
Now I eat healthy, and recommend you eat healthy too.
But eating healthy doesn't guarantee you'll lose fat.
In fact, there's John Cisna who lost 37lb while eating McDonald's three times a week for 90 days.
There's also Mark Haub, professor of nutrition in Kansas. He lost 27lb in 10 weeks eating mostly twinkles (even his bad cholesterol and triglycerides dropped).
Just to be clear here – I'M NOT SAYING YOU SHOULD EAT MCDONALD'S AND TWINKLES ALL DAY LONG.
That would be stupid.
My point is: it's not how "healthy" the food is, it's how many calories there's inside.
Because many "healthy foods" are in fact high calories.
Consider this:
- Smoothies and fruit juices are healthy because they have a lot of vitamins. But they're also concentrated sugars. Minute maid Apple Juice has just as much sugars as Coca-cola.
- Salad is healthy, and a low calorie food. But restaurants often add high calorie dressing, croutons, guacamole, etc .McDonald's salads often have more calories than a big mac.
- Dried fruits and nuts are healthy. But they're calorie dense. 20 dried prunes has about 500calories – the same amount of calories as one big mac again.
- Organic food may be healthy. But an "organic donut" is still a donut. It doesn't matter if the sugar and fat is from an organic source. It's high calorie
Eating healthy is good. I do it, and recommend it.
But to lose fat, eating healthy isn't enough.
Eat Less Calories Than You Burn to Lose Fat
It's that simple.
If you're not losing fat, you're not eating less calories than your body burns.
It doesn't matter if you eat healthy, that won't make you lose weight unless you;re total caloric intake is lower than what you burn.
Maybe you are eating less than last month. But if your calorie intake is still higher than what you burn, you still won't lose fat.
You have to create a caloric deficit, and you do that by eating less calories than your body burns.
Start Tracking Your Calorie Intake
You need to become aware of how many calories are in the most common foods you eat.
There are foods you eat, that are maybe healthy, or that you think are not so bad, but that in are high in calories.
Think of the Pareto rule
- 80% of your results come from 20% of what you do
- Most people eat the same foods 80% of the time
Therefore, there are foods you tend to eat a lot, but that are probably damaging your fat loss.
But you don't know about it.
So start tracking everything you eat for one month using an app like myfitnesspal.
This will be annoying, it will be a lot of work. But you can't fix a problem if you don't understand the cause first.
This exercise will quickly make you stop eating some high calorie foods you didn't know you were eating.
Estimate How Many Calories You Burn
Calculate your basal metabolic rate (BMR) first. This is how many calories you would burn if you do nothing but rest in your bed for 24 hours (for muscle recovery, digestion, breathing, etc). This calculation depends on your gender, age, weight, and height.
Then multiple your BMR by your physical activity levels (PAL). This adds calories burned through daily activities. Most people have office jobs and walk less than 5000 steps a day. That gives a "sedentary' multiplier of only 1.2.
Note that lifting weights doesn't burn much calories. The sets only last a few seconds, and you spent most of your workout resting between sets. So lifting weights 3x/week does not make you any less sedentary. Walking +5k steps a day does.
Multiple your BMR x PAL to get your TDEE – your total daily energy expenditure. This the amount of calories you need to maintain your weight for your current age, body weight, and physical activity levels.
There are all kind of calculators you can find online to estimate your caloric intake. But usually the formula can be simplified for guys to your body -weight in lb x 10-12. Meaning a 90kg/200lb man usually needs about 2200kcal/day to maintain his body weight.
Create a Caloric Deficit to Lose Fat
To lose fat you decrease calories by about 500kcal/day to create a weekly deficit of 3500kcal (which equals about 1lb/0.5kg of fat per week).
Note that all this calorie calculation is just an estimation. It's not going to be accurate. Because the original formula's were developed using averages. Some people have higher metabolism than others. And it's hard to know what your true activity level is.
So get a rough idea of how many calories you need to maintain your body-weight. Reduce about 500kcal/day from that. Then check how your body responds once you start. If you lose more than 1lb per week, you might be reducing calories too much. If you're not losing 1lb/fat, you might be eating too much.
No online calorie calculator is 100% accurate. Many will give you too little or too many calories to eat, and confuse you. Only use calorie calculators to get an estimate. Adjust as you go.
One of the best ways you can get skinny legs without building muscle is by doing cardio.
However, not all cardio sessions will give you skinny legs, some will add on muscle. So, it pays to know which cardio you should be doing to get the best results.
Let's look into cardio, and how it can help you get skinny legs:
How Long To Exercise ?
The duration of cardio is an important factor when building skinny legs. Take a sprinter for example, they run hard, with the most resistance at the highest level possible, and their legs are big and muscular.
On the other side, a long distance runner will have skinny, and toned legs, as they run with less resistance for longer periods.
So, if you want skinny legs, make the duration of your workouts slightly longer at a low intensity.
Light Cardio For Skinny Legs
Cycling is a great option to get skinny legs, as you can adjust the resistance on the bike, which means, you'll be able to burn those legs and tone up your entire lower body.
Swimming is another great cardio exercise that will make you lose weight all over you body, including your legs.
The kicking motion in the water is light, with limited resistance, which means your legs will become toned, instead of bulky.
On the other hand, running, or cardio machines such as the stair master are great for overall health, and improving your fitness leves.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The exercises that creates the most resistance will build more muscle. The exercises that are light, and easy, will build skinny legs.
Running hard, or the stair master also promotes new muscle growth, as the resistance is high – therefore, you'll want to limit these, but not avoid them altogether.
Best cardio exercises for skinny legs:
- Cycling
- Swimming
- Walking
- Running
- Stair master
Weight training
Exercising with higher reps, just like cardio sessions such as cycling and swimming as we've already discussed, will help you to get skinny legs.
By using resistance machines like the leg extension, leg press, or body weight squats for a higher number of repetitions, will help you to create that toned look, and skinny legs.
This works in exactly the same way as long distance cardio. The higher number of repetitions you do for a longer period of time, will allow you to feel the burn in your muscles and tone your legs.
Think of a boxer, they are lean, toned, and muscular. Why's this? because they do a high number of repetitions in their workouts, sometimes hundreds of reps using lighter weights.
So don't fear the weights ladies, they can be a great tool to keep you in shape.
Resistance tips to make skinny legs:
- High reps
- Choose lighter weights
- Use resistance machines that are easy to adjust the weight
Best resistance exercises for skinny legs:
- Leg extension
- Leg Press
- Lying Leg Curl
- Lying Hamstring Curl
- Body weight Squats
You can't get skinny legs if you don't have the right diet in place. Eating the right foods depending on your exercise plan, and daily activities is 'key' when creating skinny legs.
If you want to lose weight, or just tone up, it pays to eat whole foods, and avoid processed foods as much as possible.
By eating whole foods such as sweet potato, brown rice, green vegetables, and lean meats, you'll start to see results in no time.
Why is this? because your body will find it much easier to digest to these foods, than processed foods, which contain numerous ingredients that are hard for the body to process.
Best foods for skinny legs:
- Sweet potato
- Brown rice
- All vegetables
- Fruits in moderation
- Lean meats
- Nuts and seeds in moderation
Eating clean food is not the only way you can tone up your legs. You can also use supplements, such as multivitamins, to make sure you're getting everything your body needs.
If you want to kick it up a notch, you can also use fat burners, and pre-workouts which are great for toning the body, and giving you a clean burst of energy for your workouts.

Fishing on the Yakima has slowed a bit recently due to the hot, hot weather. Evenings have been the best to be on the water as a general rule.
Current Yakima insects include
Caddis #14-18
PMD's and PED's #14-18
Summer Baetis #18-20
Coming Soon….The Short Wing Stone
The tributaries are great options for the wading anglers. Some of the top tribs to explore would include…
1-The Teanaway
2-The Tanuem
3-The Manastach
4-The Nanuem
Top patterns on the tribs lately would include….
#12-16 Yellow Humpies
#10-14 Royal Trudes
#12-16 Lightning Bugs and Red Copper Johns
The window of opportunity has narrowed recently due to the heat.
Insects include
Baetis #18-22
PMD's #16
Drakes #10-12
Wildlife sightings include-Moose, Black Bear, Whitetail Deer, Mule Deer, Turkey and Bud Light:)
There are fish in the system and a few being caught. Currently the water is marginal at best. We have not been on the river much. We however will be on it quite a bit in the near future.

I really am so sorry to hear you are back in the hospital, but that face on your latest blog post is SO CUTE. I squealed when I saw it. (so there's at least one consolation, right? Looking hot and adorable in the face of adversity...) But to be more serious: I'll be praying for you and your beautiful family. I love all three of you so much.

You are both so strong and have one incredible dd (who also obviously already has many of the ahove traits)! I'm praying that the biopsy results ultimately show that Tricia is doing well.. I'm so very sorry you're going thru this as if you havent already gone thru enough - grhhhh.. BUT... we know that things often happen for that reason! Take good care and thinking of you~

God is always at work and that is so evident in your lives. You always seem to have these amazing encounters and moments that only God could bring about.
Love your picture and I wish I could squeeze little Gwyneth!
Somehow, although I have 3 crazy kids and busy days, you often seem to be on my mind. I am so praying for you. : )

I am praying so hard for you today. After watching the gearup4cf youtube video... I know even better how much you have been through and not only you but all the people with CF. I never thought about the physio part and watching Eva hang upside down while her Dad beat on her back... my son Ted had pnuemonia when he was 6 weeks old...I remember doing that to Ted and bawling the whole time... You CF sufferers really have been through so much. I have asthma so I know just a little about how people take breathing for granted. I want you to be oK and happy and live a long life with Nate & Gwenyth...I have been checking your blog too and even though we have never met I must say I love you and I worry about you and I will continue to plead with our Father in Heaven for your health & recovery. All we can do is keep breathing.

An exemplary post from your heart, Tricia. I am glad you are feeling well and pray along with you that patience will come into being with God's grace.
You are an inspiration! To feel as you wrote amidst everything would be difficult for many people. After all, we are human. I, myself, would find it hard as well, but you are amazing and of course, this peace couldn't occur without God's help. :-)
I wish you tons of family fun time next week! Keep on shining strong!

Although I'm a stranger to you, I wish I could explain what your testimony has done for me. It was no coincidence that I found Nate's blog the day I was released from the hospital after losing my own 25 weeker. Your unwavering and steady trust and faith in God encouraged and inspired me to put my own faith into action in that way. That strenghtened and prepared me before I found out 2 months ago that my own sister has NonHodglin's Lymphoma. Thank you for your beautiful heart and life and for allowing God to use you to impact the world in this awesome way.
I'm praying for you now, for your healing, and for the patience you requested! :)

Tricia, I am always so supremely touched by your posts, by what inspires you and sustains you. Thank you for sharing as you do. I remain in awe of your understanding of God. You, your husband, your child, are all such beautiful examples of God's love. And I pray for patience - you have so much to be impatient for.

Hi Nate and Tricia:
Tricia, your sister posts on a parenting forum that I also post on, so I've followed your story since before the transplant. I'm so glad you're still doing well, considering, and I hope the stupid cancer goes away soon and you can get on with life without hospitals!
I just wanted to tell our family's organ donation story: my beloved cousin Casey Kent had an accident on June 2, 2008 and was in a coma with brain damage for about 10 days. When he passed away his family donated all his young, healthy organs so that others could see, hear, breathe, and live again.
Casey's memorial web site is here if you want to take a look: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/caseykent I just wanted you to know about Casey and the organ donation and want to encourage everyone out there to donate loved one's organs if you are ever in the horrible position of having to make that decision.
Casey left behind a beautiful wife, Sara, and 2 year old daughter. Sara is also pregnant. Any thoughts or prayers for them and for Casey's parents (my aunt and uncle) and his sister (my cousin) would be welcome, too.
Be well, Nate and Tricia and Gwenyth!

I did not see a way to comment on Trichia's site so I will here. My girlfriend and I have a running joke about praying for patience. "If you pray for patience God will teach it to you by giving you more ways to learn patience, just like Job." So we never pray for patience just strength to get through what ever challenge of the day is. So.... if you don't mind I will pray for strength for you because the way I see it you already have the patience part down and do not need to learn it any further.
- June 19, 2008 at 12:06 PM
I read Tricia's blog and yours, like I do every single day, and I want you to know that:
1. You faith is inspiring and has helped me reconnect with God.
2. You both make me want to be a better person.
3. Never take life/health for granted.
4. Miracles happen, every single day.
5. I pray for all of you each am and pm.
Blessings to you all. You are a beautiful family. All I see when I look at your pictures is pure, unconditional LOVE.

You can judge its expansion by the fact that it is the only Social Networking Website with a 10/10 Google Page Rank and receives billions of daily visits from throughout the world.
|Twitter – An effective way of Driving Traffic
Marketing and Twitter both have a very close relationship. More than 80% of online companies use Twitter for Marketing and Traffic purposes. You could easily increase your Twitter connections, and in result could easily get a huge exposure to your products and services.
1. Get More and More Followers:
(More Followers = More Traffic)
|Twitter turns your
Traffic light to green
Followers is the basic key of the magnitude of Traffic which we can draw from Twitter. If a person Follows you, it means that your Tweets will be shown to his Twitter News Feed. And if you've got 10,000 Twitter followers, you can roughly get 500 visitors in one minute by just sharing a link.
Increasing the followers is a big contest on Twitter, and getting more followers is getting more Traffic.
There are many ways of getting new Followers, there is another article on our blog which only describes about increasing twitter Followers.
2. Better Use of Hash Tags:
Twitter hash tags (#) are very important when it comes to Trend-setting. When people are searching for a particular trend and you trend your post in the most popular trend, your post may get millions of visits in a minute. Trend setting is a very important part of Twitter Marketing and it requires a completely another article.
I've written a separate article regarding the use of Hash Tags.
Read Here: Using Twitter Hash Tags to Quickly Boost Your Blog Traffic
3. Share regularly on Twitter:
Regular sharing is another important thing to do on Twitter.
What I really mean from "Regular Sharing" is that the stuff we post on Twitter is just active after few seconds of our posting, and very rarely is seen afterwards, so you should not avoid sharing anything again just because you have shared it once.
4. Share Stuff at Peak Times:
There are times at Twitter when more users are online and more exposure to your Tweets is possible. Try to share more at that times.
The question arises how to know which time is peak time, for that I have a quick tip here. Just note the frequency of Tweets by others. If the gap between tweets is very few and more tweets are being posted, it is a flow time and a time to act.
5. Add Twitter Post Sharing Button on Your Blog/Website:
A Twitter sharing button on your blog / website might be very much beneficial. It not only allows YOU to repost your old blog posts / product reviews on Twitter but also allow other visitors to post your article on their Twitter timeline. And if you have got Quality stuff, many of them will surely do it.
6. Share Old Posts:
Make it a practice at least once a weak to go through your post archive and post them on Twitter by spending at least an hour just for posting you older posts on Twitter. This will not only increase their Search Engine Indexing, but also will make them active, thus improving your PR, Alexa Rank and other Social Ranks.
7. Make Your Profile look Absolutely Stand-out:
Profile description and look is not only very important in drawing more followers, but a well written, back linked description will also surely give us very loyal traffic.
General pattern through which I follow people (I don't know about anyone else) is that if the description of them is according to my Blog's Niche, I generally follow them, and if their is a nice blog-link in the description, I generally open it.
And many times I become regular reader if the content on that particular blog is worth reading. I am sure you've got the point. Apply this to your blog.
8. Tweet More Frequently About Your Niche and Niche of your Followers:
Some times, you should go through the profiles of your followers and judge which type of people Follow you the most. Then Tweet about that Niche more often than any other. This will give you more readers.
9. Integrate Twitter with Facebook:
If you have a page on Facebook regarding your product, then you should not be late to integrate it with Twitter. So the stuff you post on twitter be automatically posted on Facebook and vise-versa.
Click here to go to the Facebook-Twitter Linking page if you are not already linking it.
10. Integrate Your Blog with FeedBurner auto Tweet New Post:
(Only for FeedBurner users)
If you use FeedBurner on your blog, you could activate auto-tweet new posts on Twitter.
It is a very amazing option. If you've not already using it click here to go to the FeedBurner Account.
11. Beautify Your Profile Picture:
Profile Picture is a big factor when it come to Following and attention diverting. Make your profile picture such that it attracts more and more Followers and people from the Trends and other Social Media.
And thats it from the Twitter Marketing Tips.
I hope you will like them. Have any more ideas about Twitter Marketing?? We will welcome any of the informative comments in the comments section below.

Vacation Savings
Compton Accounting
July 17, 2017
If a vacation is part of your summer plans, but your budget is tighter than you would like, check out these tips to keep your cash outlay reasonable- without sacrificing any of the fun or adventure.
Tip 1: Time your vacation right. When planning your vacation, time your trip so that you arrive when the local kids are either still in school or back to school. This will usually mean that you are hitting venues off peak times and can expect to pay less for attractions and lodging.
Tip 2: Rent a home not a hotel. You have likely seen advertising to rent a home rather than staying in a hotel. For summer travelers, this can be an economical alternative. Plus, if you have a larger group and/or kids it may be more comfortable as well.
Tip 3: Try out the new hotel on the block. If you prefer a hotel, but the prices are creating a cramp in your budget, look for new hotels that offer a low introductory rate. When you book a stay at a new hotel during the soft launch period, you can maximize savings by paying substantially less than the standard rate.
Tip 4: Try these frugal food fixes. Food often comprises a major part of any travel budget. One easy way to save money on meals is to book a vacation rental property with a full kitchen. If you don't want to cook every meal on vacation, book a hotel with a kitchenette or at least a fridge and microwave so that you can make some lighter meals and snacks. Doing this can save you hundreds of dollars over the course of your getaway.
Tip 5: Avoid being gouged by gas prices. If your budget is really tight- or you just want to be sure you don't pay a penny more than you need to for fuel-monitoring gas prices can help you decide whether it makes sense to fill your tank today for tomorrow's road trip. Using an app like Fuelcaster can help you keep tabs on local gas prices.
Tip 6: Find the freebies. The easiest way to make your vacation dollars go further? Find activities that cost you nothing! Wherever you travel, there are likely some free activities that you can add to your itinerary if you are willing to do a little research. From parks and parades to food and festivals, see what complimentary events you can enjoy.
Tip 7: Make the most of membership discounts. Whether you have an AARP or AAA membership or you belong to an alumni or other association, be sure to check out if there are travel and attraction discounts that you can access through your affiliations. Taking a trip away from home and discovering new places is a time-honored summer tradition. However vacations can put a strain on your wallet, so use these tips to keep your trip frugal and fun!

Recently, I read about the great Italian violinist Paganini. One night as he stepped onto the stage, he realized he didn't have his best, most valuable violin. He quickly scurried backstage to see if he could find it, only to discover that someone had stolen it and left a cheap, less valuable violin in its place. Paganini stepped back on stage with the cheap violin and told the audience, "Ladies and gentlemen, I will now demonstrate to you that the music is not in the instrument but in the soul." He then played with his whole heart, making beautiful and enchanting music that left the audience spellbound.
I don't know about you, but I often feel inferior. I long to play beautiful music with my life that points others to the majesty of Jesus Christ. Here's the thing—though I am an inferior instrument, the core music is not created by me. It is played through me by Jesus Christ, who is now the essence of my life.
The apostle Paul wrote, "Christ in you, the hope of glory" (Col. 1:27b). Though we are in every way inferior instruments, the music of our lives is rooted in our souls—the Spirit of Jesus Christ. As I've been mulling this over in my mind, I've realized there are several life-changing applications:
If Christ lives in me, I don't have to worry about being weak. He delights to use what's weak to confound the world. He promises that my weakness is turned into strength by His Spirit (2 Cor. 12:9). He loves to play His beautiful music through my very inadequate self.

If Christ lives in me, I have all the power of the resurrection available to me. At different points in my life, I've thought, I'm not changing fast enough! I want to be like Jesus. How can I try harder to be like Him?
Ever had those thoughts? Here's the thing: We don't have to "try harder." We only have to cooperate with the resurrection power that is available to us 24/7. When temptation comes, we simply press in to Jesus and ask for His power. Colossians 3:12-14 describes what our attitudes will be like as we set our hearts and minds on Christ and His resurrection power flows through us. We need only to cooperate with that power. The result—beautiful music!
If Christ lives in me, the peace of Christ rules in my heart. The peace of Christ as ruler in my life makes the most beautiful music! (Col. 3:15-16). It is a harmony of calm in chaos, forgiveness in the face of hurt and joy in the journey. It results in gratitude, thanksgiving and praise to our God. As that music flows out of us, others are drawn to the melody of peace.
The bottom line is this: Are you inadequate? Yes, you sure are. Me too! But is Christ able to play beautiful music through inferior instruments? You bet! The best news of your life is Christ in You, the hope of glory. Celebrate that music of life with Him!

text: Number of housing starts across Canada dipped in December The number of starts for homes across Canada dipped in December, but is still higher when compared the historic average. Data released by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) showed that the number of housing starts in December 2018 was 206,981, compared to the 212,338 starts in November. This trend measure is a six-month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) of housing starts. "The national trend in housing starts decreased in December, the fifth decline in the last six months," said Bob Dugan, chief economist at CMHC. "Reflecting these recent declines, total annual housing starts in 2018 were lower than in 2017, as lower single-detached starts more than offset a slight increase in multi-family starts this year." "Nonetheless, total housing starts remain elevated when compared to historical averages." Broken down by metro area, housing starts in Vancouver continued trending lower in December 2018, ending the year with an 11% decrease compared to 2017 despite that rental units rose by 40% in response to a tight rental market. In Edmonton, housing starts trended lower in December as inventory levels remained elevated. On an annual basis, Edmonton starts were 12% below 2017 levels, which reflects lower demand driven by the current economic climate in Alberta. Housing starts in the Montréal area increased slightly in 2018 compared to 2017. The decline recorded in the construction of condos during this period was more than offset by rental apartment starts which, hit a 30-year record high. The Toronto area saw the most apartment starts ever recorded, and overall housing starts were up 6% from a year ago. High prices, borrowing costs, and a widening price gap with resale market alternatives weighed down significantly on single-detached starts, which were the lowest in almost four decades. The deteriorating affordability for low-rise homes fueled the demand for relatively affordable higher-density housing.

By Rob Baquera, Public Information Officer, Roseville Police Department
With over 24 million vehicles and more than 170,000 miles of roadway, road injuries and crashes are the leading cause of preventable deaths and injuries to California's 8 million children. Whether you are driving your children to school or to the grocery store, the single most important safety tool for your children is their car seat. Who needs to use a car seat? Under the current California law:
– Children under 2 years of age shall ride in a rear-facing car seat unless the child weighs 40 or more pounds OR is 40 or more inches tall. The child shall be secured in a manner that complies with the height and weight limits specified by the manufacturer of the car seat. (California Vehicle Code Section 27360.)
– Children under the age of 8 must be secured in a car seat or booster seat in the back seat.
– Children who are at least 8 years of age OR have reached 4'9" in height have the option to be secured by a booster seat, but at a minimum (along with all adults) must be secured by a safety belt. (California Vehicle Code Section 27363.)
While many parents currently use child safety seats, research has shown that the majority of car seats are improperly installed. Here are some tips on properly installing and using forward-facing car seats.
– Use the right car seat with a harness for your toddler's weight and height. Toddlers are weighed and measured at every doctor visit, so be sure to keep track.
– Put harnesses through the slots so that they are even with or above the forward-facing child's shoulders. Some seats require use of the top slots when the seat is forward-facing, so check instructions.
– Be sure the buckled harness is tight, so you cannot pinch extra webbing at the shoulder.
– Adjust the chest clip to armpit level.
– Use the car's safety belt or LATCH system to lock the car seat into the car. Do not use both at the same time. Be sure to use the top tether.
– Your car seat should not move more than one inch side to side or front to back. Grab the car seat at the safety belt path or LATCH path to test it.
If you want to double check that your child car seat is installed correctly, you can contact the Roseville Fire Department. They are currently offering car seat installations by appointment only. Residents can schedule an appointment with a Child Passenger Safety certified technician by calling (916) 772-6300.

Liam Neupert is a junior at One Stone school in Boise and helped to coordinate the Idaho Youth Climate Strike Friday morning. For several weeks now, he's been at the statehouse every Friday, missing school to protest climate change inaction.
"People say me skipping is just a waste of lesson time. I would like to tell them that the time I've spent on these steps the past few weeks have shown me more about the society and the people around me than any lecture could ever do," he says.
About 200 people joined Neupert at Boise's strike to demand legislation on the issue. Jackson DiNucci, a high school student at Sage International School in Boise, was one of them.
"I do want to show my support for how we think climate change is a huge issue and that we want to do something about it, even if that's just to show other people to try to spread awareness," DiNucci says.
But there weren't just high schoolers in attendance. Kathleen McDonald brought her two grandchildren, ages three and six. She says climate change is one of the most pressing problems of today.
"It's going to be extremely important in their life. We all need to think about it a lot more and do what we can," she says.
Bill Rath is a retired teacher. He didn't know any of the students there, but went to show his support.
"I'm really proud of these kids for doing what they are doing because it's their lives that are most impacted by cliate change and we adults have definitely dropped the ball," he says.
Laura Coleman graduated from Boise State University last year. She says government should take action to address climate change.
"We need to do something about it and the best way is to get the legislators on board and make a difference nationwide, Idaho-wide, and worldwide," Coleman says.
Boise's strike was one of many that were held around the nation and in other countries.

Comic Reviews: Obi-Wan and Anakin and Spidey!
Note: These titles may have already been on comic shelves due to a shipping error. They were scheduled for this week.
Star Wars: Obi-Wan and Anakin #1 (Marvel Comics)
My thoughts on the Star Wars prequels are….complicated. So when Obi-Wan and Anakin, the latest Marvel Star Wars miniseries was announced, I was hesitant. However, once I saw that Lando writer Charles Soule and Shattered Empire artist Marco Checchetto were on the book, my interest went up considerably. And while this opening issue is pretty light in the plot department, the character work more than makes up for it. Read the rest of this entry

Comic Reviews: Princess Leia and All New Hawkeye!
Princess Leia #1 (of 5)
Since they've received the license, Marvel has wasted no time in publishing Star Wars comics. After the stellar releases of the main title and the Darth Vader spin-off, we now welcome the lovely Princess Leia Organa (Skywalker) to our comic shelves. Written by comics legend Mark Waid and drawn by Terry Dodsen, Princess Leia is the third Star Wars spin off, and unfortunately it doesn't quite live up to the hype that Star Wars and Darth Vader have given it.

Comic Reviews: Darth Vader and Amazing Spider-Man!
Darth Vader #1 (Marvel Comics)
From the moment it was announced, I was very interested in Marvel's Darth Vader series. Thankfully the Keiron Gillen and Salvador Larocca series not only met my expectations, it exceeded them.

This year, I was surprised to see that a lot of things I was expecting to happen (WB revealing the cast of the Justice League, or Marvel telling us the actor that will become Doctor Strange) didn't happen at all. Despite this, there were still plenty of announcements and surprises, to get our nerd engines running, and we'll start with a pretty big one from Marvel Comics….. Read the rest of this entry

St Mary Redcliffe Church
In 1574 Queen Elizabeth is said to have proclaimed the Parish Church of St Mary Redcliffe to be the "fairest, goodliest and most famous parish church in England." Bristol's most historic and beautiful building, the St Mary Redcliffe Church is one of Bristol's treasures with its magnificent exterior of flying buttresses, pinnacles and spire.
The statues of the kings of England that resided in the niches on the outer walls disappeared long ago and the beautifully carved corbels depicting townsfolk have been removed to safety inside the church.
The oldest part of the church, the inner porch, dates from the 12th century with its black Purbeck marble columns, surmounted by capitals boldly carved with leaf motifs. During the Victorian restoration several finely decorated tombs were discovered under the floor indicating this may have been hallowed ground and the outer porch may have been built to protect this space.
There are relics of Bristol's merchant venturers who began and ended their voyages here. On his return from discovering mainland America, John Cabot gave thanks for the voyage by presenting a whalebone to St Mary Redcliffe which rests above the north porch door near a model of his ship, the Matthew. Handel, who visited his friend Thomas Broughton, Vicar of St Mary Redcliffe, played the Harris and Byfield organ, parts of which are preserved in the present organ, one of the finest built by Harrison and Harrison between 1911 and 1912.
The Chaotic Pendulum, a St Mary Redcliffe Journey into Science Project demonstrates the wonder of the unpredictability of science.
The grave of the Chatterton family and that of Tom, the church cat reside in the churchyard on the south side. The house of Samuel Plimsoll, born at No.9 in Colston Parade, was rebuilt when a railway tunnel was driven through the Churchyard and the Parade. Next to the railings of Colston Parade, a tramline lies embedded in the churchyard after a bombing raid during World War II.
Wonderful home cooked food is available in the Undercroft Café.

Hello there everyone , I have a bit of a problem. We have just bought a Swift Conqueror 640 Sal , this is a 2000 model , registered in 2001,L shaped front & bench back. The thing thats bugging me is there is (according to the previous owner) an onboard water tank for the cold water . The previous owner even show me how to check the level, using the battery meter (& it showed 3/4 full) but I can't seem to find one
I have took the drain plug out of the hot water system & there was nothing coming out .
Yet the van seems to be front heavy, I thought the tank would be at the front due to the meter showing 3/4 full .
Can anyone shed some light on this please .

The Working Pre-Med
If you are (or were) anything like me during my undergraduate years in college, you have to (or had to) work to get by. It might seem unfair that other students are able to focus entirely on their pre-med courses (and we all know how grueling it can be), while you have to divide your time between school and work. Well, I felt this same way when I was an undergraduate student. In fact, I worked and I did not have a car so I walked 3 miles to school each day in the rain, snow, or sunshine, in the morning, noon, or night. Luckily for me, I found a job at the hospital associated with the university that I was attending, so the walk between school and work was at least somewhat better. What seemed very difficult at first actually became a huge learning experience for me, and made all of my pre-med friends envious of the unbeatable opportunity that I had, that they didn't.
You may be asking "why?" Well, I became a medical scribe at the emergency room at Stony Brook University Hospital, while attending Stony Brook University. I began working as a scribe in my sophomore year there. It was difficult balancing scribing with organic chemistry, physics, and whatnot. However, the job taught me a lot about the world of medicine. Despite the low pay, awful hours, and the fact that I didn't receive breaks and sometimes worked 19 hour shifts in order to make ends meet (and had to walk home at 3 AM in the dark by myself at times), I'm actually thankful that I worked there, believe it or not.
Being a scribe was a very enlightening experience for me, and I recommend it to anyone who is on the pre-med track and either has no choice but to work their way through school or actually wants to, to make some extra money. Heck, it sure beats working at Starbucks and not gaining very much from the experience, as far as getting your foot in the door to your preferred career choice goes. I'll explain why.
As a medical scribe, I had the opportunity to work very closely with attending ER docs as well as a resident ER docs. Not to mention I also had close contact with physicians of other specialities (contingent upon the particular ER case my ER doc was treating), PAs, nurses, and other hospital staff. Of course the most incredible part of this job was the opportunity to bond with attending physicians in the emergency department, who had a wealth of knowledge and experience to talk about and to teach others, including myself.
I became very close to a few attending ER docs, of both the MD and DO type, so much so that some of these doctors wrote me letters of recommendation for medical school. Of course, you should not fake interest in what knowledge the doctor you are working with has to offer just to one day get a letter of recommendation from that doctor. However, when a bond is formed, and a relationship develops between you and a doctor as a student and a mentor, often times, that physician will be more than happy to assist you in achieving your own goals of one day becoming a doctor.
Even if you never happen to ask a doctor for a letter of recommendation for entry into medical school, you will find the experience provided by this job all the more valuable. Working in the ER as a scribe is somewhat like being paid to shadow doctors, something that many do for free and may get less out of. And by "shadowing" these docs, you get to see everything that goes down in the emergency room. I was lucky enough to gain my experience in a level I trauma center, where I saw some serious tragedies occur.
Being a medical scribe can open your eyes to the world of medicine in that you'll have seen things that others won't have seen by the time they apply to medical school. I was offered many times various jobs to work as an ER scribe at other hospitals after I graduated and moved from New York to Pennsylvania. I didn't just get job offers to work in the ER, though. I also got job offers to work as a scribe in family and sports medicine settings. As the job field grew, I found no shortage of scribe jobs near me. Scribes at the time were becoming a necessity at medical offices and emergency rooms everywhere. Why? Because allowing someone else to handle the EMR and transcribe the details of each patient-doctor interaction makes the physician's job much easier, and allows the physician to be more efficient.
Physicians that I worked with often made it clear that my job lifted a load off of their shoulders. They could now look at their patients and speak to them face-to-face rather than talk to them behind the barrier of a computer screen. And the benefits of the job, for me? I was able to learn some of the steps involved in the process of treatment that each physician used for their patients. For example, based on a certain set of symptoms that the patient would complain about and paying attention to the labs and diagnostic radiology tests the physician ordered and their results, after working for some time, I was able to understand what tests would likely be ordered for particular complaints, what their results meant, and what potential diagnoses the patient would be sent home with.
This is just a short explanation (really, it is) of some of the things that I gained from being a medical scribe. There are many more things that I did not mention here, however. If you have the opportunity, and you are a pre-medical student, I suggest becoming a medical scribe. Often, most scribing companies will not even hire you unless you are pre-health in some way, which also means that they are very flexible in terms of working with your schedule as a student (if you are one at the time). It's also a great job to take up during a gap year. Once you begin talking to your other pre-medical friends about the things you get to learn/do/see on the job, trust me, you will know that you have a leg up in applying for medical school because your friends will often ask you, as mine did me, "How did you get that job?!" Take the advice I have given here, first. Apply now by searching on job advertising websites for "medical scribe" positions near you. You won't regret it.
A prospective medical student, looking to help others succeed.
