I decided to give my Dogme ELT / Teaching Unplugged blog-quest a rest so that I could reflect on what I learned after my first three posts and the Dogme experiments in my own teaching. Like I mentioned earlier (here, here, and here, to be exact), Dogme ELT seems like the perfect solution to teaching.
Overall, however, Dogme seems to come out ahead. So, if it's so great, why is it not a widely accepted strategy?
Over the last few months, I have been trying to implement pieces of Dogme ELT into my teaching. I am one of those teachers who (in 90% of my courses) is bound by administrative policies to a text book and a lesson plan. I believe this to be a disadvantage to my students and to my teaching, and I consciously try to add more authentic communicative activities whenever I can.
During this time of “Dogmexperimentation,” I have noticed that I am more willing to let the lesson “flow,” and more willing to change the activities to address learner needs on the spur of the moment than I was before. I have also had a lot of success using a Dogme-like approach to eliciting topical vocabulary and phrases. However, in the lessons that I have tried to create a more Dogme-like environment, I have been mostly dissatisfied with the outcomes. Perhaps it is my lack of training in emergent language techniques, or maybe it is my communication-over-grammar emphasis—I'm not sure. What I do know, though, is that I have some concerns about Dogme.
My concerns are mostly questions, and maybe the future will bring answers. I want to know what the research will say about Dogme ELT. How is the long-term learning? Dogme provides nice situations for conversation and practice, but in the big picture, how much language information do students actually acquire through this teaching method/approach/attitude? Is Dogme merely whole-class tutoring or language consulting? How do we incorporate the issues that the students don't know they don't know? What is the relative “learning weight” of (semi-random) learner-fronted content vs. a progressive syllabus that covers important language functions? In other words, how important is immediate relevance really? What about graded grammar items? On the side of motivation and attitude, will students prefer this approach? Regardless of the possible benefits, is there a way to make this approach/method/attitude appear to be the same caliber of teaching as a textbook provides?
So, What's the Solution to the Dogme Question?
In my opinion, there is no solution, but not in a “OMG it's totally hopeless” sense. There is no solution because there needs to be no solution—right now. The critics need to keep being critical and the extremists need to keep being extreme. We need Dogme extremists to bring swing pendulum away from the set-in-stone, material-based trend we've gotten into, and we need anti-Dogme critics to bring us back towards reality, so that we don't go head-over-heels and forget about the lingering questions and problems. Now that both sides are doing their jobs, we can watch, and then we can catch the pendulum in the middle.

CHELSEA star Gonzalo Higuain has demanded Maurizio Sarri snap him up on a permanent transfer despite his poor form of late.
Chelsea have been seriously lacking up front all season with Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud their only forward options at the start.
Morata continued his woeful form from last season, scoring just five goals in the Premier League before Sarri lost patience and implored his Blues bosses to offload the Spaniard.
The former Juventus ace was sent to Atletico Madrid on a loan deal until the end of the season and one of the Italian coach’s old players was brought in to replace him.
Higuain was sensational for Sarri during his one season at Napoli, making history by breaking a Serie A goalscoring record many considered to be unbreakable with 36 league goals.
The deal was not easy, with El Pipita on loan to AC Milan already from Juventus - but the San Siro outfit willingly let the Argentine go when they signed Krzysztof Piatek.
But it has not gone entirely to plan for the former Real Madrid forward, scoring just three goals in 11 games against the likes of now-relegated sides Huddersfield and Fulham.
Sarri has defended the 31-year-old, claiming it is not easy to adapt to the Premier League mid-season and Higuain has responded by claiming he would like to stay at Stamford Bridge beyond the end of the campaign.
“I’m happy here,” Higuain said.
“The best thing we can do is qualify for the Champions League and hopefully win the Europa League too.
“We’re coming towards the end so it’s about finishing as strongly as possible.
“The main objective is to finish in the top four so we can play in the Champions League and also to encourage other players to come and play for the club.
“That’s what the squad are hoping for, so that we can add players next season, and to finish the season well and make people happy.
“From a personal point of view I want to do as well as I can so I can be here for next season. That’s my intention.

The Department of State (DOS) recently released additional, more detailed information about how it calculates immigrant visa availability cut-off dates.
DOS explained that each month, its Visa Office subdivides the annual preference and foreign state limitations into monthly allotments based on totals of documentarily qualified immigrant visa applicants reported at consular posts and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) offices, grouped by foreign state "chargeability" (the country where an applicant was born is his/her country of "chargeability"), preference category (which employment-based category the immigrant visa petition is filed in), and priority date (when the legal permanent residence application was first filed - either with the USCIS or with the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), depending on the type of case).
If there are sufficient numbers in a particular immigrant visa category, the immigrant visa category for that country is considered "Current." For example, if the monthly allocation target is 3,000 and there is only demand for 1,000 applicants, the category will be Current. Whenever the total of documentarily qualified applicants in a category exceeds the supply of numbers available for allotment for the particular month, the category is considered to be "oversubscribed" and a visa availability cut-off date is established. The cut-off date is the priority date of the first documentarily qualified applicant who could not be accommodated for a visa number. For example, if the monthly target is 3,000 and there is demand for 8,000 applicants, it would be necessary to establish a cut-off date so that only 3,000 numbers would be allocated. In this case, the cut-off would be the priority date of the 3,001st applicant.
The DOS noted that the employment-based immigrant visa limits for the 2013 government fiscal year were reached before the end of September (the new fiscal year begins on October 1). Although pending employment-based cases continued to be processed, they could not be approved and were placed in a "Pending Demand" status. Any cases that did not receive visa numbers in the last fiscal year were allocated under the new quota for the 2014 fiscal year which began on October 1, 2013.
The DOS has stated that the number of adjustment of status (AOS) applications already filed in the employment third preference (on which U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has not yet finalized action) for countries other than India and the Philippines exceed the numbers currently available. The AOS filings are the result of the cut-off dates for those countries having been advanced dramatically since April 2013 to ensure that all available employment-based numbers were used in the 2013 fiscal year. The sustained demand is being considered in the determining the monthly cut-off dates to prevent unnecessary fluctuation.
It is important to note that the cut-off dates for some categories/countries has limited the number of applicants who have been able to file for adjustment of status with USCIS, and such applicants would not be included in the totals. In addition, new applicants are constantly becoming eligible for processing in categories for which cut-off dates do not apply, or for a category other than that in which they initially filed for status. Therefore, DOS said that the totals in the Visa Bulletin charts should not be read as reflective of the entire universe of applicants. These totals only represent the amount of demand taken into consideration during the determination of new dates.
It is important to remember that the establishment of a monthly cut-off or "Current" status for a numerically controlled category (preference or Diversity [Visa]) applies to those applicants who were reported prior to the allocation of visa numbers for that month. For example, all qualified applicants who were reported to the Visa Office in time to be included in the calculation of the September cut-offs, who had a priority date or rank-order number before the relevant September cut-off, would have been allotted visa numbers for September. There would be no expectation, however, that sufficient numbers would be available for the processing of cases which subsequently became eligible for final action during that month. Additional numbers may be allocated outside the regular monthly cycle, but only to the extent that such numbers remain available under the applicable annual limit. The availability of additional numbers is subject to change at any time and should never be taken for granted. This is especially true late in the fiscal year when numerical allocations are often close to or at the annual limits.
When applicants fail to appear or overcome a refusal (even for reasons beyond their control) during the original month of scheduled interview, they risk not having their case processed later in the fiscal year. This is because the establishment of a monthly cut-off or "Current" status for a numerically controlled category (preference or Diversity Visa) applies to those applicants who were reported before the allocation of visa numbers for that month.
Meaningful movement on employment based cases for applicants that, in certain cases have been waiting more than 10 years, continues to be slow. We believe that Comprehensive Immigration Reform is needed to address these issues. Until we have more parity in visa number availability or a more common sense approach to the allocation of numbers (for example, at present, all dependents require a visa number from the allocation instead of just the principal applicant), there will continue to be substantial delays in certain categories for individuals from countries like India, China, Mexico and the Philippines.

They eat Chinese food in their hotel room, snap pictures on La Cienega Blvd. and generally look beautiful as they spend all day together and end their evening overlooking the city’s skyline.
“Setting the world on fire” is the second single taken from upcoming album “Cosmic hallelujah”, which is out on Oct. 28.

Thanks go out to Suffi Bilal Khalid at the National College of Artsin Lahore, Fatah Daudpoto at the Center for Design Excellence in Jamshoro, Sindh and Saeed Mangi of the Institute of Sindhologyin Jamshoro, Sindh for making it possible for me to connect to the right musicians and record their music.
In the end it came down to a 3 hr recording session at the Sindhology Museum with audio engineer Zulfiqar Ali Gopang , 2 DV cameras, 3 mics plugged into them, 5 excellent musicians and a constant loss of electricity.
All the work of reaching and finding Sindhi folk musicians boiled down to one three hour recording session at Sindhology.
I described the emotions of each scene.
Ustad Anb Jogi, in the red and black plaid shirt chose raags and suggested parts for each instrument.
Jairam Jogi was the key here. His fine musicianship on the Murli created the core of the sound.
He is an extremely humble and incredible musician. Honestly, I am in awe that I had the privilege to work with these great artists.
In my own way, I hope that I was able to extend the respect I felt for these gentlemen in the short time we shared.
Here, Ustad Anb Jogi’s dholak creates the heart beat of the score.
Ustad Mohammad Bukhsh’s Pakistani Banjo was an incredible instrument to behold and no less to be heard.
Zulfiqar Ali Gopang had just met me, but his professionalism in recording the music and caring doing it so well speak volumes of him.
The recordings were creatively done on two DV cameras with left and right channel mics in each, giving me 4 track recording.
I gave cues by words and gestures as I watched the film on my laptop, and recorded a backup on an ipod.
Jairam Jogi playing his beautiful murli.
These beautiful photos were taken by my friend Saeed Mangi during the 3 hour recording session at the Institute of Sindhology in Jamshoro, Sindh, Pakistan.
Ustad Anb Jogi Composer/Dholak: from Umerkot, is the grandson of the tabla player Ustad Khamuso Jogi, and trained under Ustad Nazir Khan.
Jairam Jogi on Murli: is a seventh generation Murli player.
Ustad Mohammad Buksh on Banjo: was born in Talhar and learned under his uncle, Ustad Bilawal Bailjum.
Nasir Jogi on 2nd Murli: is from Umerkot.
I knew from the start that for Gul (flower), I wanted a warm acoustic sound with a raw feel to it. Much like the visuals, that was the energy for this piece. After experimenting with different music on rough cuts of the film, I found the perfect match in Sindhi folk music on a cd by the Iqbal Jogi Ensemble which was called Passion for Pakistan. I knew that I did not want to use a prerecorded piece of music, because I felt that the timing of the piece should not be dictated by the music, as in a music video. I knew it would be far more challenging to hire musicians and create original music, but I felt that it was very important. For all the years that I spent chipping away at the film, it would have been foolish to compromise on the music, which is to vital to a film. A few years later, when I was ready to record music, that Iqbal Jogi cd led me through a journey to find contemporary Sindhi folk musicians, with whom to record original music.

In Music We Trust - TO BE OR NOT TO BE, THAT IS MY QUESTION!
I was talking to some people through a message board and the topic of narrow mindness came up. We were arguing over if someone could be ignorant if they didn't have any musical influences, but just one. Is it possible that someone could only have ONE whole influence, say for example, Ska. Would they be ignorant for not allowing themselves to have any other musical background? Would it be possible for them to have just one taste in music?
We couldn't decide on a verdict. We ended up fighting over the topic. People got nasty about it. So we changed the subject. But I want to stay on the subject. To be ignorant in music, would you have to have no musical influences or would it be ignorant to call someone ignorant for only liking one kind? You guys decide.
To be musically talented would you have to take tons of music lessons? Would you learn on the first try? To be musically smart would you have to listen to all types of music, or only one? Just some questions for your feeble minds.

CBD is a compound found in marijuana and hemp that’s valued for its purported wellness benefits.
Although it doesn’t get you high, CBD has been linked with potentially therapeutic properties and is the main ingredient in the first federally-approved cannabis-based medication.
On Wednesday during a Congressional hearing, Scott Gottlieb, the head of the US Food and Drug Administration, said he planned to discuss his agency’s approach to regulating foods and supplements made with the ingredient in April. CBD is increasingly turning up in everything from creams to coffee to cakes.
Although it doesn’t get you high, CBD has been linked with potentially therapeutic properties and is the main ingredient in the first federally-approved cannabis-based medication. Wall Street sees high potential for the CBD industry overall, with some analysts recently projecting that it could blossom into a $16 billion market by 2025.
So long as CBD products are derived from hemp, a freshly-legalized cannabis strain that’s nearly identical to marijuana, the items could be legal – but that remains to be decided by the FDA. Foods and supplements sold across state lines and products that make health claims fall under its regulatory purview.
Here’s what analysts think could happen during the meeting in April.
A dessert made with CBD, a compound in hemp and marijuana plants that doesn’t get you high.
In a note circulated on the heels of the hearing, analysts with investment firm Cowen said they believed the FDA would take a somewhat “flexible” approach to policing CBD products, cracking down only in two main instances: first, when the products make health claims, and second, when food products are sold across state lines or marketed as dietary supplements.
“We treat products containing cannabis or cannabis-derived compounds as we do any other FDA-regulated products – meaning they’re subject to the same authorities and requirements as FDA-regulated products containing any other substance,” Gottlieb wrote in a statement released last December.
“In our view, Gottlieb’s statement and testimony indicate that he is willing to take a flexible regulatory approach to foster the development of hemp products such as CBD,” they wrote on Thursday.
“We continue to believe there will be a period of regulatory uncertainty over CBD products at the state and federal level for at least the next six months to a year,” they wrote.

Rep. Mike Quigley (D., Ill.) suggested Monday on CNN that no one would want to take former FBI Director James Comey's old job because President Donald Trump could "impulsively fire" them at "any moment."
"New Day" host Alisyn Camerota asked Quigley if he had anyone in mind to replace Comey after Trump fired him last week.
Quigley said he hopes for someone who is committed to "honesty," but said he could not think of anyone who would want the job.
"Look, I think there's a lot of qualified people. I'm not sure anybody who would want that job right now," Quigley said.
"Why would you leave some extraordinary job that you have now, knowing that an impetuous president could impulsively fire you at any moment?" Quigley said.

iDreamBiz provides comprehensive email campaign calendar planning services to clients all across the word.
'She is truly the moon among the stars', Captain Space thought to himself as he spotted Dr. Ray at a common friend's birthday party. He was having a good time until a conversation with another friend reminded him of the troubles he had been having in managing the email campaigns for his website. Captain Space was frustrated at this thought, but Team iDreamBiz, like always, came to his rescue and briefed him about the miracles of calendar planning.
Captain Space was wandering like a lone ranger when he came to iDreamBiz with his email campaign management problems.
So when iDreamBiz took charge of Captain Space's email campaign management, they adopted a well-thought out, methodical and practical approach to automate & schedule the campaigns, and then implemented changes on the follow-up campaigns by tracking customer activity & behaviour. Their hard work soon bore fruit and our Captain was all smiles again!
Our marketing and sales strategies are based on various criteria like time, dates, seasons and even demographics. For instance, in the month of November and December, when USA is observing the holiday season, we plan our campaign accordingly. Thus, on Thanksgiving, apart from sending customers the regular emails, we send them additional discounts and coupons. This process continues even after thanksgiving and helps in generating extra business and sales.
The demographic factors are very important while designing our marketing and sales strategy. During winter, places under the EST time zone observe a temperature of as low as 5°C, so selling fur coats to customers is a clever marketing strategy which we would not apply for those in the PST time zone. Ultimately, all these factors are taken into consideration to improve the client’s business prospects.
We Plan Your Campaign So That you Can Plan Your Holidays!

Maclin’s first two and a half years of life were fairly normal. At Thanksgiving in 2003 Mac experienced his first seizures and hospitalization. From that point on Mac was treated for unexplained seizure disorder. Over the course of 2 years he would have a few seizures, improve, and then have a few more. Mac’s seizures were also getting progressively worse. We tried multiple meds with mixed results. In September 2005, Mac’s seizure activity greatly increased. We went to the hospital for an extended EEG, but gained no better information on Mac’s seizures. We were really getting desperate. Mac was given Dilantin to get the seizures under control, but it made Mac so wobbly that he could not walk or sit up on his own. We were sent home from the hospital after a couple of days, and were told the seizures should stop. They did not stop, and actually increased in frequency.
We finally went to Children’s Hospital in Seattle in October 2005. We were told we would not go home until Mac could walk and was seizure free for at least 24 hours. During our stay at Children’s, we crossed paths with Dr. Saneto. After examination, Dr. Saneto diagnosed Mac with the mitochondrial disease Glutaric Acidemia Type 2 (GAII). Of the 10 or so doctors we saw at Children’s, Dr. Saneto was the only doc who believed this diagnosis. In addition, many docs felt that Mac’s ataxia was possibly permanent, and that he might never walk again. Dr. Saneto was firm in his belief that Mac had GAII, and that he would get better. We started Mac on a group of amino acids and vitamins believed to help patients with mitochondrial diseases, and Mac stopped seizing almost immediately. He also takes a seizure med and is on a diet that is restricted in fats and proteins.
Mac is in seventh grade now and doing very well in middle school. He enthusiastically participates in many activities including swim team, rock climbing, Boy Scouts, and even track. Even though he may not be the most valuable player athletically, his coaches always say that he is definitely the most inspiring and committed player on the team. Something our whole family always celebrates.
Since the fall of 2005, he has only had one seizure and has outgrown his seizure meds. Overall, he is healthy and does a great job managing his diet. There are times, however, when he is away for extended periods of time (ie. Boy Scout Camp) where he forgets to eat properly and rest, returning very tired and physically stressed. In fact, this summer we all learned a very valuable lesson when he ended up in the ER with a five hour dextrose drip after returning from Boy Scout camp completely disoriented and lethargic. Although he responded quickly to the necessary sugars, it took many weeks of a strict routine of diet and rest to be back to his normal self.
Most people see Maclin as a typical kid, but we know he is special. His wobbly and clumsy self still appears when he has not eaten or slept well, missed his mito cocktail, or is fighting an on-coming illness. We often get looks or comments when he bumps into people in public. We smile, apologize and think to ourselves, “If you only knew.” Our happy and healthy teenager is here today because of the amazing, intuitive and unwavering efforts of Dr. Saneto and Children’s Hospital. We are so grateful for all that Dr. Saneto, the Mito team and the NW Mito Research Guild has done for our son and our family.

Carrying Torches have an EP that'll keep you listening for weeks on end.
The Chicago based upstart act Carrying Torches released their blistering "Strangers" EP over this past Summer. Let's take a gander and see why people are talking about how they're due to breakthrough with this release. The EP opens up with "S.S.S.A". Right from the get go the guitars are on full display with their incredible melodic riffs. The vocals kick in and keeps up with the upbeat instrumentation as it helps guide everything along at a nice steady pace. "My Fav Part" is a nice dance-able track that brings to mind Portugal The Man and their form of Rock. The Indie Rock sound is on point and extremely catchy. It's no wonder why it was a single. The title track "Strangers" is up next. The track kicks things up a few notches. The high energy in conjunction with its New Wave sound make it quite the stunner of a track to just get lost in. "Holding Back" is a Chvrches vibe to it. Anyone into them will surely dig this track. The track does dip down during the verses but the synth breakdowns is where it really will grabs the listener. "Unraveling" lets go and unleashes Rock fury upon the listener. The Alternative Rock sound is upbeat and fantastic. The catchy appeal is off the charts! The closing track "Anymore" is haunting in all the right ways. The moody track shows off layers of depth that very few acts can pull off. This is an EP that you need to get your hands on as soon as possible.

U.S. senators to Google: What are your China search plans?
Google’s plans to revive search in China got a turn in the spotlight Wednesday during a Senate committee hearing about Americans’ online data privacy.
Google, which was among the handful of companies that sent a top executive to testify before the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, was asked repeatedly about its reported plans to resume providing a search engine in China after pulling out of that market eight years ago over censorship issues.
In August, the Intercept reported that Google had decided to launch a search engine in China that would yield to that nation’s laws and blacklist certain search terms, such as human rights, democracy, religion and more. A research scientist who quit working at Google in August over the issue, Jack Poulson, wrote the Senate committee leaders a letter with details about the project, dubbed Dragonfly. For example, Poulson claims that the company has a prototype interface that would allow a partner Chinese company access to users’ search history based on their phone numbers — a concern given the government’s history of cracking down on dissidents.
“How will Google square its stated privacy values with this flawed Chinese search engine and the very real possibility that it may be used to repress human rights?” asked Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-New Hampshire.
As he did several times during the hearing, which was livestreamed, Google Chief Privacy Officer Keith Enright said the company is “not close” to launching a search engine in China. “If we were, my team would be actively engaged,” he added.
Google’s head of search, Ben Gomes, also told this news organization earlier this week that the project is in its “exploratory” stages.
When asked about Poulson’s letter, a Google spokeswoman would only refer to the company’s initial statement about Project Dragonfly, that the company has “been investing for many years to help Chinese users,” but that it is “not close” to launching search there.
“Customers have control over their data,” said Andrew DeVore, vice president and associate general counsel for Amazon. However, he said Amazon operates through a Chinese-owned subsidiary there, as required by law.

The upcoming expansion will feature a mini-campaign based around a humanitarian NGO.
The Arma 3 project teased in March under the mysterious name of "Orange" has been unveiled as a new DLC package called Laws of War, set for release next month. Developer Bohemia Interactive said the new add-on "explores a different perspective on the battlefield" through the introduction of a new faction called the International Development and Aid Project, an NGO that specializes in rapid reaction to humanitarian disasters.
IDAP brings its own unique tools the battlefield, including a van that comes in multiple variants and liveries to fit a wide range of roles, a utility and demining drone, vests, bags, headgear, and facewear, the APERS mine dispenser system, and a "mini-campaign" called Remnants of War.
"Take on the role of IDAP explosive specialist Nathan MacDade, who is tasked with identifying and deactivating mines after the war in the Republic of Altis & Stratis has ended," Bohemia explained in the announcement. "While you are being interviewed by an investigative journalist, you will uncover what happened in the town of Oreokastro, experiencing the events from the perspective of various sides, in recollections that span multiple periods of time."
"The idea for the Laws of War package was very much inspired by our relationship with the International Committee of the Red Cross. This began with a presentation from the ICRC to the Arma 3 development team on the topic of International Humanitarian Law a few years ago," Laws of War project lead Joris-Jan van 't Land said. "Since then, we've always been interested in thinking of ways to better incorporate this vital yet also very complex aspect of war into the game. With this DLC, we hope to offer a balanced introduction to the laws of war, and their implications on the way that war is conducted."
Arma 3: Laws of War is available for preorder now from Steam and Bohemia for ten percent off its regular $12/£9/€10 price, and is expected to be ready for release in early September. It will also continue the studio's relationship with the International Committee of the Red Cross: Just as it did with Arma Karts a few years ago, Bohemia will donate a portion of the proceeds from direct sales of the DLC to the ICRC.

Posted byKruti Beesam May 28, 2011 December 28, 2017 Posted inTechnology Leave a comment on John F Kennedy’s dream to reach the Moon!
Just a few months before his brutal assassination in Texas President of the United States John F Kennedy realized that the space race was losing its glamor. This was when he decided that America should make an attempt to reach the moon literally.
In fact his concern about this issue became so intense that he started to feel the need for an unusual success of the Russians which would instigate the American public to step forward for this unique achievement. He was very keen on making this turn into a reality not minding the unimaginable expenditure of 25.4 billion dollars accompanying this adventure. A few weeks before his demise he spoke to his NASA administrator Jim Webb, expressed his concerns over the issue and demanded to portray it as a need for the national security to work things out.
All these crucial facts were revealed yesterday from the recordings which were stored at the Kennedy’s Presidential Library on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the speech in which he made his decision known to his people and said that it will definitely be accomplished towards the end of the 1960s. Although Kennedy longed for this like no one else and had a strong desire to see the US achieve this, it is very unfortunate that he could not survive to see Apollo 11 commanded by Niel Armstrong land on the moon and experience the pride of being the first one to do so! In spite of a tragic end to the story the country will always remember John F Kennedy’s service as President of United States of America!

Unless you’ve been frozen for a while and just got dethawed like Han Solo, you probably know that YouTube and Facebook are a pretty big deal – especially for videos. Here’s some helpful information about the Facebook videos and YouTube videos. YouTube is 11.3x larger than Facebook. However, Facebook video viewers are quicker to engage. Natively uploaded Facebook videos have ten times higher reach compared to copying and pasting a YouTube video link in a Facebook post. YouTube videos are the standard video hosting platform to embed videos on websites. YouTube videos are more searchable because of Google’s integration. However, Facebook video viewers tend to share videos more frequently than YouTube viewers.
So, that’s all fine and dandy, but what does that mean? It means you ought to use both platforms, but have a strategy for how to reach your audience with these platforms. For example, is your strategy to reach millennial males who like to skateboard? Or, is your strategy to go national with your product? You must start with your goal first and then work towards it. With video marketing, it isn’t always better to throw money and hope your video goes viral. Viral is okay for certain situations. For the majority, going after qualified, warm leads is what we encourage. We always encourage our clients to upload their videos on YouTube to then post on their website, and post the same videos natively in Facebook. From there, they can run specific ads to various groups of people, gender, habits, interests, and more. Now with the integration of YouTube ads into YouTube videos, customers can now run ads on YouTube as well. Yes, this can be annoying for some, but it is another way to reach your audience with your products and services.

Hello, everyone! I don’t have guest posts very often on here but today I have an amazing post from the ever so lovely Daizy. You all know I suffer with anxiety and have wrote a fair few posts about it. There will never, ever be enough awareness for mental health disorders because even now, in 2016, we are still fighting the horrid stigma that comes with these conditions. Daizy has wrote a fantastic post about anxiety – but from a teenagers perspective, which is something I don’t have.
Hello lovelies, I’m Daizy from www.ZyaandDaizy.wordpres.com were two teen beauty and lifestyle bloggers from Essex, trying to make a difference in the world. Today, the lovey Jenny has kindly let me write a post that is very dear to my heart and share it with all you amazing people.
‘Living With Anxiety’ posts are becoming more and more now people are feeling much more brave on sharing their experiences with the world. As an avid blog reader (and a major nosey-parker) I’ve read a lot of blogs on Anxiety and how others have dealt with it. The thing is I’ve never actually read a post from a teenager’s perspective. I want to change that. I want for some confused teen/ kiddo to stumble upon this and know that they aren’t going crazy, that anxiety is a completely normal thing. This is the type of post I desperately needed a few years ago so I hope it may help someone else too, it can also help anyone else to know what It’s like now for young adults to suffer with a mental health problem in this day and age.
For me, big crowds, loud people cause my chest to go tight and my palms to go sweaty (gross I know, but that’s my reality). That’s basically high school summed up. Every day is a constant struggle of trying to keep the panic at bay. The problem is with the curriculum changing everything is getting much harder. This means double the tests, studying and work. This has caused me to be behind on lots of subjects as the stress of juggling all my work has affected me badly. Many teachers don’t understand that someone with Anxiety may need a little extra support as it can really become a massive struggle when you’re getting pages full of work from about 6 different teachers a day, 5 days a week with only up to 2 days to complete them. When embarrassingly ambling up to the teacher and murmuring my sorry excuses for not being able to do the work, I’m met with little sympathy. I get I’m supposed to do the work but please, a little less pressure would be great.
Growing up means no more bouncy castle parties with jelly and ice cream after *sighs*. That means, clubbing. (Cue the anxiety *sarcastically cheers*) Clubbing scares me to death. I hate going out in big groups already so politely decline the invites for house parties but, there’s only a certain amount of times you can decline before looking terribly rude. Now clubbing is the new thing for us all and if you don’t go to them, you’ll miss out on the beef for weeks. (Beef is like the new word for drama) As I’m writing this, the next Saturday I’m going to a night club with everyone in my year, emphasis on everyone. I’m terrified of having a dreadful panic attack surrounded by everyone. Literally my WORSE NIGHTMARE. The thing is I’ve been hiding in my hobbit hole for far too long and it’s about time I stepped out of my comfort zone. I was so close to chickening out, let me tell you that. When texting my lovely friend about how I have anxiety, the party is scaring me way to much so I cannot go, she sent me a massive long paragraph in response telling me it’ll be okay, she’ll support me and I’ll regret it if I don’t go. I’m determined to make my teenage years count and enjoy it. So I will be going clubbing (Even though it’s scaring the crap out of me) and try hard af to enjoy every second of it. Gotta live in the moment, right?
Even though there is loads of people fighting Mental Health stigma and raising much more awareness, Adults still need to be made much more aware. As I was growing up, I never knew what Anxiety even was and I thought feeling that terrible pit in your stomach feeling which you get from accidently squishing your mum’s favourite Estee Lauder lipstick(or pit-in-your-stomach feelings in general); was normal. If you’re reading this you probably know what causes anxiety (If not: www.mind.org.uk) and having it from time to time is normal! But when it starts to interfere with your life, that’s when it becomes a problem.
My parents never picked up something was wrong, they thought I was just an overly worried kid. Like me, they were really un-educated on what Anxiety disorders were and had no idea it could actually be a problem. Loads of adults are the same. The other day in a lesson I heard a teacher joke about having depression, joking ‘Marking all your work makes me SO depressed!’ Using mental health problems as a joke is scarily becoming much more common. This needs to end. But if Teachers are using it so blatantly in front of us kids, what stops us from using it also? How are we supposed to ask for help if we are worried about what’s inside our heads if it’s being perceived as a joke?
In my first year of high school I tried to get help. I talked to my head of year about how I felt but instead of helping, I felt worse. She tried to blame it on my peers, pressuring me with statements like ‘I think it’s the people around you.’ When I definitely stated that wasn’t the case. Afterwards I felt shaken up, way more anxious and received no help whatsoever. She hadn’t even told my parents. WHAT?! I know. To me it’s shocking how I was treated and no child should have to go through the same experience I had endured. I don’t blame her on anything as I think she (and many other teachers) weren’t given enough information on the right approach on how to support someone like me, in their time of need.
Thankyou for sharing this post. It’s important to get more people talking about mental health and you are very brave for sharing about your experiences. Well done for deciding to step out of your comfort zone to go to the nightclub; I know how you’re feeling; I went out to nightclubs with my friends at university because I didn’t want to feel left out and sometimes, it was very hard and other times, I had a lot of fun. I hope you have a great time!
Thank YOU for commenting such a lovely message! You’re right, it’s so important for more people to talk about MH and it wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great either. It was actually really boring! Haha but I’m glad I did go and my fears weren’t a reality. But it was really nice spending time with friends and I still feel so proud of myself for going!
Great post! Well done for sharing!
This is so important. I didn’t realise I had anxiety back in high school, as it translated mostly in physical ailments. I had such a hard time having to go to school every single day for 8 hours and I had so many stomach aches and headaches to show for it.

Coronary artery bypass graft surgery is one of several treatment options for congestive heart failure. This condition is also known as ischemic heart disease. Infection, or more commonly, blocked blood vessels can prevent the heart from getting enough oxygen so that it can efficiently pump blood to the other parts of the body. When this happens, blood backs up in the blood vessels and fluid is forced into the tissues causing the extremities to swell, one of the symptoms of congestive heart failure. Congestive heart failure treatment includes maintaining a healthy weight, eating a diet that his high in plants and lean protein as well as low in sodium, and exercising regularly. In cases where the blockage is not total, the treatment may include coronary angioplasty. In this procedure, a “balloon” is inserted into the blood vessel and inflated in order to allow normal blood flow. About one million Americans have this procedure each year. After angioplasty, a coronary stent may be placed in the blood vessel to force and hold it open. In the case of arteries that are totally blocked, coronary artery bypass graft surgery may be the best treatment.
In coronary artery bypass graft surgery, a section of vein taken from another part of the body is grafted onto the blocked artery, bypassing the blockage.
On the pro side of bypass surgery, the obvious advantage of this surgery is that normal blood flow is restored to the heart and the rest of the body. The patient’s quality of life will improve. Most people make a full recovery find their health greatly restored. Doctors usually recommend this surgery after other less invasive options have been tried.
On the con side of bypass surgery, there are risks that must be considered. Traditionally, the chest is opened up to expose the heart and then the graft is performed.
Coronary artery bypass graft surgery is major surgery and as such, carries a risk of bleeding, infection at the surgical site, fever, pain, anesthesia reaction, heart attack, stroke, and death. Not having the surgery certainly results in a diminished quality and length of life.
Newer, non-traditional approaches use small cuts in the chest wall to graft the bypass. Overall, new techniques like robotic surgery have given us the benefits of bypass surgery while minimizing the risks.

Rain with patchy icy mix will continue this evening with temps climbing through the 30s to around 40 in the warmest spots. Use caution driving as roads will still have icy patches on them as temps warm.
A cold front will cross the region overnight sweeping widespread mostly rain out of WNY. A few scattered flurries are expected overnight as colder air charges into the region. Winds will also increase gusting 40 to 50 mph late tonight and through Wednesday. Black ice may also be a problem for the Weds morning commute on untreated surfaces and where the wind doesn’t dry the pavement.
Flurries and snow showers will increase on Wednesday producing changeable driving conditions from flurries and fine road conditions to scattered heavier snow showers producing poor visibility and slippery roads. Temps on Wednesday will hold in the mid to upper 20s early then drop heading through the afternoon.
Quiet weather heads in for Thursday with some sun and highs in the 30s to near 40. Mixed precip of mostly rain with patchy wet snow look likely Thursday night into Friday morning. Temps Friday will fall with gusty breezes and drier weather prevailing after noon.
Colder air arrives for the weekend with fairly quiet weather for Saturday. Low pressure then passing to our southeast on Sunday may produce some patchy light snow especially south. It’s a close call and the latest trend is bringing this system farther north so we’ll watch it closely and keep you posted.

This is, perhaps, the most selfish way to look a situation like this. According to People, two child actors from 7th Heaven will be, in their mother/momager's words, "feel[ing] the financial effects of this scandal" now that 7th Heaven reruns has been pulled from television in light of the child molestation allegations against series star Stephen Collins. That's right: She's literally mad about no longer receiving residual checks from reruns, even though the whole point of the reruns being pulled from networks in the first place has to do with a potentially major, horrifying child molestation case against the star of the show.
Cue exaggerated Liz Lemon "Oh brother" eye roll now, please.
Speaking (of course) to TMZ , Caryn Moss — the mother of actors Niki Saletta and Sam Saletta, who were both on the show for a collective 25 episodes playing Simon's girlfriend Deena, and George Camden, respectively — said that though the checks weren't "Seinfeld-sized," they'll be "still be missed" now that the reruns have been pulled from television.
I'm trying not to be too harsh right now, I really am. But it's difficult to hold back in this case considering that the reason they were pulled has to do with a grown man having allegedly admitted to molesting three girls. I think UP TV and the TV Guide Channel made the right decisions to pull the show off air, and it just seems self-centered to turn this unfortunate situation into something having to do with money and getting another 15 seconds of fame on TMZ.

Osaliya, R.; Kansiime, F.; Oryem-Origa, H.; Kateyo, E.
During the operation of the Kilembe Mines (copper mining) a cobaltiferous stockpile was constructed, which began to erode after the closure of the mines in the early 1970s. The erosion of the pyrite stockpile resulted in a large acid trail all the way to Lake George (a Ramsar site). The acid trail contaminated a large area of Queen Elizabeth National Park (QENP) resulting in the death of most of the shallow-rooted vegetation. Processes and conditions created by storm water and effluent from a constructed wetland were assessed for vegetation regeneration in the degraded QENP pyrite trail. Cynodon dactylon, Imperata cylindrica and Hyparrhenia filipendula dominated the regeneration zone (RZ) where storm water and effluent from a constructed wetland was flowing; and the adjacent unpolluted area (UP) with importance value indices of 186.4 and 83.3 respectively. Typha latifolia and C. dactylon formed two distinct vegetation sub-zones within the RZ with the former inhabiting areas with a higher water table. Soil pH was significantly higher in the RZ, followed by UP and bare pyrite trail (BPT) at both 015 cm and 1630 cm depths. Soil electrical conductivity was not significantly different in the RZ and BPT but significantly higher than that in UP for both depths. For 015 cm depth, RZ had significantly higher concentrations of copper than BPT and UP which had similar concentrations. Still at this depth (015 cm), the unpolluted area had significantly higher concentrations of total phosphorus and total nitrogen than the regeneration zone and the bare pyrite trail which had similar concentrations. The RZ dominated by Typha had significantly higher concentrations of TP and TN compared to the RZ dominated by Cynodon. The concentrations of NH4N were significantly lower in Typha regeneration zone than in CRZ at 015 cm depth but similar at 1630 cm depth. At 1630 cm depth, concentrations of copper were significantly higher in the regeneration zone followed by the bare pyrite trail and the unpolluted zone. The concentration of lead in the regeneration zone and bare pyrite trail were similar but significantly higher in the unpolluted zone. Concentrations of TP and TN were significantly higher in unpolluted zone, followed by regeneration zone and bare pyrite trail. Storm water and effluent from a constructed wetland enhanced the revegetation process by modifying soil pH, making plant growth nutrients available and by providing a steady supply of moisture necessary for plant growth. T. latifolia and C. dactylon which seem to have tolerance of high concentrations of metals were the dominant species in the regeneration zone. If storm water and effluent supply continues, the aforementioned vegetation will colonize the pyrite trail and will eventually protect QENP and Lake George from metal contamination.

"All too often the so called "trip of a lifetime" fails to live up to the hype. Not so with our Tirol trail running adventure. Even when Mother Nature threw a snowy curveball at us Karrie worked her magic reworking the route and getting into fantastic alms when we would have floundered on our own. I was lucky enough to extend my stay with a 6 day hike filled with more amazing places. Overall best trip ever! I've fallen in love with Austria and look forward to returning to tackle the high trail some time in the not too distant future.
Åsa Holmqvist Thank you Karrie! You really gave me spirit after the Austria adventure, I'm so greatful! Take care and see you hopefully soon!

Imagine with me for a second… someone has just arrived at your website, and this person has no idea what you’re talking about. And this is an important visitor.
Pretend further that this single visitor could make the difference between success and failure for your business. She has no time to waste poking around your site trying to figure out what you’re all about, so she immediately picks up the phone and calls you, demanding an explanation.
You’d likely explain by giving her the essential information about how you can help, and why you perfectly meet her needs, right? And I’m betting you’d want to explain it in the most compelling fashion you could, given what’s riding on the deal.
In a nutshell, that’s what Google wants you to do with the content on your site.
When trying to rank well for the one or two topics that your entire site is built around, creating flagship content is your best bet. Whether it’s a tutorial about search engine optimization basics, blogging for beginners, or copywriting, a frequently asked questions page, or an inspirational mission statement, this content serves a vital function in creating a relevant, compelling, and useful cornerstone to build a site around.
And when approached in a strategic fashion, this content can rank very well in the search engines. The key is creating compelling content that’s worth linking to, and then finding a way to get the word out.
Here’s a 5-step strategy that I’ve found useful when developing cornerstone content and getting it to rank well.
Taking into account the above, and what we know about keyword research, choose the most appropriate keyword phrase for your content. In other words, what is the relevant question that searchers are asking that your content and business will answer?
Will answering that question aid a visitor to your site in getting the most out of the experience? Are enough people asking that question to make ambitiously answering it worthwhile?
There’s a lot of debate among SEO practitioners about what works and what doesn’t, but no one disputes the importance of using your targeted keyword phrase in your title tag. Search engines want to offer relevant results, so those results should prominently reflect the words the searcher is using in the title of the page.
But remember also, the title tag is a headline. You want to speak back to the prospective reader in their own chosen words. Plus, you want to wrap those words in a compelling headline structure that promises to answer the exact question the searcher is asking with the query.
And finally, writing the perfect headline makes it more likely that someone will simply use your title to link back to you. To the extent link anchor text is a component of a particular search algorithm, this can only help.
Can a 500 word article rank well for a competitive search term all by itself? Absolutely, because a lot of what determines how well a page ranks depends on the overall authority and age of the website it appears on. And perhaps for some topics, a short explanation is all that’s really required from a user-gratification standpoint.
But if you have a newer website trying to rank for a competitive search term, you’ll need links from other authoritative sources to make it happen. That means your content must be impressive, both in quality and in scope.
Develop an awesome multi-part tutorial. Write an inspirational manifesto. Answer the question so much better and comprehensively than the competition does, and chances are better that your effort becomes worth linking to.
If you’re going to be ambitious in scope with your content, it makes sense to make things easy on the reader from a usability standpoint. A landing page is designed to instantly communicate what’s going on to the visitor as soon as they arrive, and also acts as a table of contents (via links to each part) that increases clarity.
Retention: Keeping a reader from hitting the back button is crucial to just about every aspect of successful cornerstone content. You can’t score a reader, customer, or link if the benefit of the resource is not quickly communicated.
Bookmarks: When presented with a beneficial, if somewhat overwhelming, piece of content, the first impulse is often to bookmark the page for a return visit. When that book marking occurs at a social site like Delicious, it can lead to long-term traffic. And when a whole bunch of those bookmarks happen in a short period of time, you can enjoy a viral effect that leads to more bookmarks and lots of links due to being highlighted on the Delicious popular and home pages. Landing pages help you score the bookmark.
Links: Likewise, a visiting blogger or webmaster might be instantly impressed with your work, and link to you based on the benefits and scope communicated by the landing page itself. The quicker you can impress a potential link source, the easier you’re making it for them to follow through.
Optimization: Tweaking on-page copy can boost your ranking after attracting those links, so a landing page is a key benefit. It’s a lot easier to optimize a landing page than your 5,000 word opus.
You may have noticed that I’ve used the word “website” throughout this post, rather than blog. However, I would never try to undertake this strategy without having a blog involved.
Search engines favor websites that have a lot of relevant, frequently-updated content, and they also like a lot of general link authority. Given the ease-of-publishing blogging provides, it’s smart to utilize blog software from a content-management standpoint. And given that active blogging allows for constant participation in the social media space, it’s a critical way to build general site authority via links, delve into specific and related topics, and to reference your cornerstone content.
You will certainly feature a link to your essential content in the sidebar. And if you’ve done your job correctly when selecting the focus, it will be perfectly natural to continue to cross-reference link to your cornerstone piece from within future posts as well.
Don’t go overboard, but do provide context when discussing advanced topics that require an understanding of the basics. Never assume that everyone is aware of your cornerstone resource or understands the basics. Periodically cross-referencing your cornerstone content allows for continued exposure and links, assuming it still meets the needs of the audience.
The first goal of cornerstone content is usefulness and relevancy to the website visitor, no matter how they arrive. The second goal is to make that content so compelling and comprehensive that people are willing—no, make that excited—to link to it.
If you focus on these two goals in a strategic manner, the search engine thing has a good chance of working itself out. Since attracting links is so important, we’ll next explore ways to proactively get the word out about your cornerstone content.
