Enter for your chance to win at MartinsSummerFun.com!
You can learn more about this month’s prize below. But first, let’s take a look at some great hot dog tips and recipe ideas, plus refresh our memories on the benefits of campfire cooking.
Hot Dog/Roasting Tips for Pros (The “Traditional” Method)
Roasting hot dogs over an open campfire is one of the most iconic scenes that comes to mind when dreaming of summer. But it’s not quite as simple as it seems. Here are some tips to perfecting your flame-roasted hot dog:
Tips & Tricks for Roasting Hot Dogs:
- An expertly cooked hot dog is juicy and plump on the inside, browned or lightly crispy/charred on the outside, and, of course, heated all the way through.
- To prevent having a char-blackened hot dog with lukewarm interior, be sure not to hold your hot dog too close to the flame or build too large of a fire.
- An ideal fire for roasting hot dogs uses a few hardwood logs (which burn longer and slower), burned down slightly to establish a bed of hot coals (but not too hot).
- Choose for your roasting stick a long, two-tonged, metal skewer with a heat-proof handle. This helps the hot dog cook evenly and stay in place while you rotate the stick, and also prevents your hand from getting too hot.
- To roast your hot dog, place it on the skewer, hold over the open flame (but not too close), and slowly spin it continuously or rotate it every 30 seconds until browned and heated through. (About 2-3 mins total.)
- Pro Tip: Try wrapping your hot dog in bacon first before roasting it for a delicious variation! P.S., Be on the lookout for more hot dog topping ideas further down in this article, and in our upcoming blog post!
Looking for other ways to cook a hot dog? Scroll down to see how this method compares to alternatives such as grilling, pan-frying, boiling, oven-roasting, and more. Plus—try our easy-peasy “beginner” method using an air fryer!
Campfire Cooking 101
Of course, hot dogs are not the only thing you can cook over a campfire. Take a look at these campfire cooking best practices for other kinds of foods.
- Be careful not to build too large of a fire; otherwise, it will burn too quickly and be too hot to cook with. Instead, begin with a small fire using kindling and smaller logs and allow the fire to burn down to produce hot coals, then add a few larger logs as needed to keep the fire going for the length of cooking process.
- For most foods, you do not want to cook too close to the open flame for risk of burning or unevenly cooking the food. Consider using a digital thermometer to double-check the internal temperature of whatever you are cooking.
- Consider building your fire off to one side of your fire pit and arranging hot coals on the other side. This dual-cooking-zone setup will allow you to cook a variety of things requiring different temperatures or alternate food as necessary. For example: you can boil water or grill meat and veggies on a grill grate over direct heat while cooking foil pack meals or Dutch oven desserts directly on top of the hot coals.
- Don’t forget about these other favorite campfire foods:
- Campfire Mac & Cheese Burger: A flame-grilled cheeseburger topped with campfire-smoked mac and cheese and roasted garlic aioli, served on Martin’s Big Marty’s Rolls.
- Mountain Pies: These fire-baked sandwiches go by a variety of names, but they are always delicious—and extremely versatile! Use a pie iron tool over your campfire to create such classics as Pie Iron Breakfast Sandwiches, Fruit Mountain Pies, Toasted S’mores Sandwiches, or Pie Iron Pizzas!
- Stick Bread: Try these simple and tasty hand pies (lovingly named “stick bread” by our very own Martin’s employee). Martin’s Butter Bread is wrapped around a clean wooden rod and toasted over the campfire to form a bread pocket which is then filled with vanilla pudding and prepared fruit pie filling for a fun handheld snack!
- Hot Campfire Sandwiches: These cheesy baked sandwiches are customized to your liking, then wrapped in foil and baked over warm coals for about 10 minutes.

Hot Dog Cooking Tips for Beginners (The “Easy” Method)
Roasting a hot dog over an open fire sure has its benefits: that great smoky flavor and lightly charred exterior, not to mention the fun hands-on experience… So what should you do if you don’t have a fire pit and aren’t planning a camping trip any time soon?
The good news is that hot dogs are one of the most versatile foods—there are so many great ways to cook them, each with its own perks. For starters, you can’t go wrong with a classic grilled hot dog!
Here are some of our favorite alternate cooking methods:
All The Ways to Cook a Hot Dog
- Grilled – For a classic smoky flavor and slight char, with picturesque grill marks.
- Pro Tip: set up dual heat zones on your grill so you can slowly heat the hot dogs on the cooler side until cooked through, then transfer to the hot side for a final sear.
- Pan-Fried – For a seared & crispy exterior and still-juicy interior, with plenty of flavor.
- Pro Tip: add a touch of water to the pan for a steamed effect or cook in a bit of melted butter or oil (or even bacon grease!) for added flavor.
- Oven-Roasted – For large-batch cooking indoors, producing well-browned and juicy hot dogs.
- Pro Tip: finish them off under the broiler for about a minute for a nice crisping effect!
- Boiled – For that classic street food-style dog, with a juicy and flavorful interior.
- Pro Tip: swap the water with other cooking liquids for a unique flavor variation!
- Microwaved – For a quick fix in under a minute!
- Pro Tip: wrap the hot dog in a paper towel first to keep in the moisture, then cook on 90% power for 30-40 seconds or until warmed.
- Air Fryer – For a super-simple hot dog with a crispy exterior, cooked in just 3 minutes with no additional ingredients needed.
- Pro Tip: try topping your dog with another air-fried ingredient like Fried Pickles!
- Slow Cooker – For a slow-cooked ballpark-style hot dog, perfect for large parties and potlucks.
- Pro Tip: if you stand the hot dogs (regular length) upright, you can fit in up to 3 or 4 dozen depending on your party size.
- Multi-Cooker (e.g., Instant Pot) – For a pressure-steamed hot dog similar to the slow cooker method but in a fraction of the time. Cooks in under 3 minutes!
Find instructions for all of these cooking methods here: https://potatorolls.com/recipes/classic-hot-dog.
To demonstrate the last method above, here’s a look at the step-by-step recipe!
How to Make Instant Pot Hot Dogs
Serves 8; Cook Time: 2-3 Minutes
- 8 Hot Dogs
- 1 Cup Water
- 8 Martin’s Long Potato Rolls
- Desired Condiments & Toppings
- Add hot dogs (as many as needed, without overfilling the pot) and 1 cup of water to the bottom of a 6-qt. multi-cooker.
- Lock lid in place and set valve to “sealing.”
- Select “High Pressure” and a cook time of 0 minutes. (Hot dogs will cook during the preheating phase while the multi-cooker comes up to pressure.)
- When the multi-cooker indicates it is finished cooking, do a “quick release” of the pressure by turning the release valve to “venting.” Be careful to avoid the steam as it is released.
- Remove the lid and serve hot dogs with desired toppings.

Irish airline Ryanair will cancel another 20% of its flights in October, the company announced on Friday.
By mid-August, Ryanair had already announced a 20% reduction in capacity. The new reduction will come on top of that.
As a result, Ryanair will offer only 40% of flights in October compared to October last year, rather than the 50% they were hoping to offer.
The company blames “government mismanagement of Covid travel policies,” due to which “many Ryanair customers are unable to travel for business or urgent family reasons without being subjected to defective 14-day quarantines.”
“While it is too early yet to make final decisions on our winter schedule,” which runs from November to March, “if current trends and EU governments’ mismanagement of the return of air travel and normal economic activity continue, then similar capacity cuts may be required across the winter period,” the airline said.
The airline recently announced that it would cut twice as many jobs in Belgium as previously announced as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

Charge-Discharge Characteristics of Lithium and Silicon Anodes in Li[N(CF3SO2)2]-Glyme Solvate Ionic Liquids
Galvanostatic charge-discharge experiments were conducted with 2032 coin-type cells. Copper and silicon thin film prepared by RF magnetron sputtering on a copper foil were used as a working electrode. Lithium was used as a counter electrode. A polypropylene-based porous membrane was used as a separator. The solvate ionic liquids prepared by mixing LiTFSA and glyme (G3 or G4) at the molar ratios of 1 : 1 and 1.2 : 1 were used as the electrolytes, which are denoted by 50.0-50.0 and 54.5-45.5 mol% LiTFSA-glyme, respectively.
The coulombic efficiency for deposition and dissolution of lithium on the copper substrate was examined at ±0.1 mA cm–2 with the cut-off voltage of 2 V. The electric charge for deposition was 0.2 C cm–2. The coulombic efficiency in both 50.0-50.0 and 54.5-45.5 mol% LiTFSA-glyme increased within the first ten cycles and exceeded more than 90% until 50 cycles. The efficiency in 54.5-45.5 mol% LiTFSA-glyme was greater than that in 50.0-50.0 mol% one, suggesting addition of excess LiTFSA to the solvate ionic liquids improves the coulombic efficiency. The coulombic efficiency for alloying and dealloying of silicon and lithium was also examined in the same electrolytes at ±0.05 mA cm–2 within the voltage range from 0.01 to 2 V. Reversible cycling was possible with the specific discharge capacity of more than 2400 mAh g–1-Si in both 50.0-50.0 and 54.5-45.5 mol% LiTFSA-G4. The coulombic efficiency of more than 99% was achieved with the silicon thin film anode within 30 cycles while significant capacity fading was observed within a few cycles in LiTFSA-G3 solution at the molar ratio of 1 : 4. High coulombic efficiency of lithium and silicon anodes in the solvate ionic liquids containing excess LiTFSA may be due to the low activity of free glymes in the electrolyte. Addition of LiTFSA to 50.0-50.0 mol% LiTFSA-glyme is considered to introduce a Li+ species, [Li(TFSA)2]–, which is known to form in other TFSA–-based ionic liquids, and decrease the activity (or life-time) of free glyme, which may react with lithium and lithiated silicon and cause capacity fading.

Chinese Coaches Help Step Up Mexico's Diving Game
With their approaches to discipline, sacrifice and technique, Chinese coaches have helped Mexican athletes overcome self-limitations, leading to important wins in various international sports competitions.
Article written by guest writer Kecia Lynn
What's the Latest Development?
Although Mexico finished 39th overall at the 2012 Summer Olympics, it still enjoyed its most successful performance ever, thanks largely to the fact that three of its seven medals were earned in diving. Although the country has produced strong divers in the past, the sport is enjoying a renaissance, thanks largely to the "revolutionizing" efforts of Chinese coaches, who divers claim brought precision, technique and discipline with them. According to the head of the Mexican sports commission, foreign coaches have helped Mexican athletes gain confidence, leading to "[steady improvements] in international sports competitions."
What's the Big Idea?
China's inroads in Latin America have not only been about trade: Cultural imports are making an impact as well. In the case of sports, the coaches came as a result of Mexico's attempt to decentralize the training of its skilled athletes. Fifty coaches from various sports were invited to Mexico in 2002 to help improve both the athletes' skills and those of their trainers. Now diving is second only to boxing in the number of Olympic medals it's won for the country, and its sports commission has received a budget of $450 million, a fivefold increase from past years.

BOSTON, Nov. 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Partners HealthCare International® (PHI), the global arm of Partners HealthCare, formally announced a collaborative partnership with Shanghai Jiahui International Hospital Ltd. (SJIH), to expand an ongoing consulting relationship that began in 2011. SJIH will be a new and innovative model of health care in China that is centered on family, community, and a stronger connection between the patient and the caregiver. With the development of SJIH, both organizations aim to define a new standard in high quality health care as yet unrealized in China, making the future of health care a reality today for its citizens.
"This partnership demonstrates what is possible when organizations come together to meet a common goal. PHI's mission is to effect transformative, sustainable improvements in health care for people worldwide. The people of China are global consumers and they are seeking the best health care available. They want quality, they want services, and they want the best physicians – Jiahui International Hospital will establish a new standard of care. Our combined efforts will make exceptional health care both accessible and attainable," said Partners HealthCare International CEO and President, Gilbert Mudge, M.D.
The China health care market has faced many challenges, including overcrowded hospitals, an underdeveloped primary health care system, and a shortage of trained physicians and other clinical staff, all of which has led to growing dissatisfaction among consumers. In 2010 China began the transition from a predominantly government-run public health care system to one that is now decentralized and open to private and foreign investment, thus setting the stage for a private, international hospital like SJIH. Centrally located in the Xuhui District of Shanghai, Jiahui International Hospital is a 100 percent privately, foreign-majority owned tertiary level hospital based on international standards.
"We want to improve health care in China by creating a high-quality alternative health care system," said Feng Ge, SJIH. "Most people in China have only experienced public hospitals. No other health care experience in China can compare to Jiahui International Hospital." According to Ge, Chinese culture is at the root of work being done at Jiahui. "We are developing an 'ecosystem' with the patient at its core. It is a very simple but powerful principle." From design to operation, Jiahui aims to employ the best practices to become an internationally recognized leading medical institution in China, providing high-quality, patient-centric, and integrated healthcare services, as well as professional training and clinical research.
To achieve their vision, SJIH's team of expert healthcare professionals established a multi-year partnership with Partners HealthCare International. PHI's founding members, Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) are the two largest Harvard Medical School affiliated hospitals, and are consistently ranked in the top 10 on the U.S. News and World Report's list of Best Hospitals. In its work with SJIH, PHI leverages the vast knowledge available throughout the Partners HealthCare network which includes unmatched capabilities in oncology, neurosurgery, cardiovascular disease, cutting-edge radiation therapy, women's health, and orthopedics. Initial work with the team has focused on hospital planning, innovative models of care delivery, and recruitment and staffing models that will support attracting top clinicians.
On October 21st, SJIH signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with MGH, under which the MGH Cancer Center (MGHCC) will collaborate with SJIH to co-develop a center of excellence in breast cancer. The program will adopt MGHCC's patient-focused multidisciplinary approach to address the needs of Chinese breast cancer patients and their families. The SJIH team is also exploring additional potential clinical affiliations with Partners-member hospitals.

Niki de Saint Phalle, whose marriage to the Swiss sculptor and painter Jean Tinguely was one of the 20th century's most important artistic partnerships, has died in the United States at age 71.
Tinguely, who died 11 years ago, is best known for his kinetic sculptures which are like fantasy machines depending on movement for effect. They were made from everyday objects, such as metal from abandoned machinery.
De Saint Phalle's most familiar creations are also sculptures, for example the trademark "Nanas", mother figures reminiscent of prehistoric fertility idols with their stylised voluptuous shapes and colours.
But despite long years of working and living together from the 1960s onwards, a period which included many joint projects, both de Saint Phalle and Tinguely retained a distinctive and very different style.
That difference is perhaps best summed up in the words of Guido Magnaguagno, director of the Tinguely museum in Basel: "The works of Jean are those of a man, while the works of Niki are very much those of a woman."
Exhibition in Basel
Magnaguana was speaking in an interview with swissinfo last November, at the opening of an exhibition devoted to the works of Tinguely's widow - who had made important donations of her husband's works to the museum's permanent collection.
Paying tribute to de Saint Phalle on Wednesday, France's president Jacques Chirac described her as an "exceptional woman" who had swum against the tide to create art of "a rare, colourful and playful originality, which lit up the end of the 20th century".
Before she met Tinguely, de Saint Phalle had already begun establishing herself as an artist with drawings, oil paintings and collages based on the "assemblage" technique which went on to shape the form of her later work.
By the early 1960s she was cooperating with him on his sculptures, and in 1966 he contributed to the creation of her monumental female figure, "Hon", in Stockholm. Other collaborations followed, notably in the creation of the Stravinsky fountain next to the Pompidou Centre in Paris.
Angel in Zurich
Another example of her lasting and towering presence as a sculptor is the "Guardian Angel" which - hanging from the ceiling of the main building of Zurich's railway station - has been watching over travellers since 1997.
It was through such achievements that the works of de Saint Phalle have become familiar to millions of people who might not otherwise have taken an interest in contemporary art - and she put this to good use. For example the marketing success of Niki de Saint Phalle perfume enabled her to fulfil a dream to create a park in northern Italy full of giant sculptures based on Tarot cards.
Born near Paris, she settled in San Diego in the early 1990s, and her death in the Californian city followed a lengthy illness.

CONFUSION: Lagos Police Get Two Commissioners
Who says you cannot have two captains in one boat?
The Lagos State Police Command currently does.
The state got 2 police commissioners on Wednesday.
Earlier in the day, it was gathered that Edgar Imohimi, a Deputy Commissioner of Police, had been appointed as the new Commissioner of Police to replace Fatai Owoseni, who had been in the position for 2 years.
Reports say Owoseni would assume the post of Commissioner of Police in Charge of Administration at the Force Headquarters in Abuja.
But Owoseni appears not to be in the know as regards his new position. He had after the announcement was made said he was not aware of the appointment of a new police commissioner for the state.
He told the News Agency of Nigeria that he had yet to receive any directive on any posting or the fact that there was a new commissioner in the state.
“When we get the information, we will let you know,” Owoseni said.
Owoseni, had on Wednesday, spoke at a conference on security at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi Araba, in his capacity as Lagos State police commissioner.
Neither the Force Public Relations Officer, Moshood Jimoh, nor the state command spokesman, Olarinde Famous-Cole, picked their calls to firm the current state of affairs.

Here are a few headlines for you: "Six in 10 companies in a survey plan to skip Windows 7", said Reuters; "Majority of IT execs have no plans for Windows 7", said IDG. PC World, meanwhile, said that "most IT pros say 'no'".
It's certainly great, incendiary stuff: after all, Microsoft is the world's biggest software company, and it is pinning an awful lot on the launch of Windows 7. And if 60% of IT departments are giving the new system the finger, then that's a big deal.
But the truth revealed by the survey in question - commissioned by ScriptLogic, and largely about how companies are cutting costs during the recession - is a little more prosaic than that.
Certainly, the basic numbers have been reported correctly: just 5.4% of respondents said they were planning to have Windows 7 in use by the end of 2009, with a further 34% suggesting that they would be there by the end of 2010. A total of 59.3% of respondents said they had no immediate plans for Windows 7.
What missing though, as ScriptLogic also points out, is the context. Those numbers are actually pretty good in historical terms: the planned adoption rate for Windows Vista was about the same, while for Windows XP actual takeup was no more than 14%.
I'm not batting for Microsoft here - I've wondered out loud plenty of times about Windows 7's chances - but it's worth taking a look at reality and wondering why there's such triumphalism with analysis that isn't supported by the numbers. We all know that Microsoft takes a lot of kicking, but over at ZDNet, the ever-sensible Ed Bott suggests that "for today's jaded technical press and pundits, anything less than 100% adoption, overnight, is a colossal failure".
Given this data, one would think the technical press would be reporting the obvious conclusion to be drawn from this survey: Even in the midst of the worst worldwide recession in recent memory, Windows 7 is shaping up to be one of Microsoft's biggest success stories ever. Right?
Plenty of this is a problem of Microsoft's own doing - Vista, after all, had such a torrid time that plenty of people are watching for another misstep. But Vista's problem wasn't that people didn't want to upgrade - it was that when they entered a world of pain when they took the leap.
I suppose it's fair enough to call out the headlines - our own Ben Goldacre likes to skewer this sort of stuff in science reporting. But the real truth behind all this, though, is that actually these numbers mean very little anyway - however you interpret them.
What companies say they will do is often very different to what they actually do. It would be worth coming back to the same survey group at the end of 2010 and finding out who had upgraded and who had not: that's more crucial than what they say they plan to do in 18 months.

Music from The Drew Carey Show
The reason The Drew Carey Show is so well-liked is that, though there are plenty of sitcoms out there working-class palookas, Drew Carey gives them heaping helpings of sharp vindictive wit and self-deprecating humor instead of cheap and obvious potshots. This CD, containing music incidental to the show along with several numbers from the show itself, is a spiffy and fun compilation that will please any fan of the shows. The current theme of the show, “Cleveland Rocks,” appears twice; first the theme, a cover of the Ian Hunter tune done by the Presidents of the USA, and then the original. The previous theme, the the Vogues’ wonderful “Five O’Clock World,” is also included.
As with the show’s humor, most the music used in the show is an eclectic left of center and not the most obvious choice. There are some great nuggets here: Tower of Power’s “What Is Hip?” Iggy Pop’s “Lust For Life” and Lee Dorsey’s “Working in a Coal Mine.” The music from the show (i.e. music from the Horndogs, Mimi’s mutilation of Christmas Carols, etc.) is also pretty funny, and stands up to repeated listening.
Overall, this compilation is better than most Drew Carey fans might expect. Cleveland Rocks! Rhino Records, 10635 Santa Monica Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90025; http://www.rhino.com

The Retrial of Thomas Ricks
Murder-for-hire case goes to Ohio Supreme Court
May 7, 2015 at 12:34 PM
Thomas Ricks, 27, formerly of Detroit, was sentenced to life in prison in 2010 after he was convicted in the aggravated murder of Calvin Harper Jr. during a drug deal gone bad in 2008.
Ricks' case made it to the Supreme Court after Sixth District Court of Appeals judges issued a split opinion on the case. One judge contended the entire case should have been sent back for a retrial, because of hearsay testimony that was admitted, but shouldn't have been.
Prosecutor Kevin Baxter and Ohio Public Defender Kristopher Haines argued the point before Supreme Court justices Wednesday.

National Review Online asked Acton Research Director Samuel Gregg to weigh in on President Barack Obama’s second term inaugural address.
Gregg points to “our president’s worldview that the government is the primary way in which we address our common problems and realize our responsibilities and obligations to each other as citizens and as human beings.” He wonders if it has occurred to Obama that “many such responsibilities and obligations might be realized outside the realm of politics … ”
Gregg goes on to suggest, for the presidential reading list, Alexis de Tocqueville’s Democracy in America and Jacques Maritain’s writings on civil society in the United States.

All I have to do now is write up the patterns for 6 other blankets I have made and sitting on my shelf. It's taken me two weeks to complete this blanket and I was writing it as I went along. I am still using the Robin Double Knit Acrylic yarn that I got from Frank at christmas and still have loads left....I think though, for my own sanity, I am going to have a go at something smaller now. Frank bought me some Rowan yarn for my birthday and some Mirsaol which is made of Alpaca, so I need something small to work on.
I do have a little voice in the back of my head telling me to crochet some small flowers which would be a good idea because I can carry them around with me and do them in my short lunch break at work.
If by chance, you are interested in the pattern you can go to ravelry.com and search for Tunisian Blockbuster by Susan Hardy.
I did try to do a link to this site too but don't think I could bare another stressful hour. Am going to relax now so have a good week and hopefully, I will be able to post again in the week.

This was a popular and serious subject in Victorian times. In a time of highly regulated courtship, sending a valentine allowed a sharing of feelings that could not be expressed in person. Even—gasp—women(!) were allowed to send valentines.
The Art Institute’s Department of Prints and Drawings has a collection of over 2,000 valentines from the Victorian period, including fanciful creations of paper lace, fabric scraps, and artificial flowers; inexpensive printed cards with comic subjects; and even three-dimensional collages. In fact, we have one unusual example that features a real, preserved hummingbird (romantic, or just plain creepy?).
Our valentine expert, Debra Mancoff, told me that the best-known valentine maker was an American woman, Esther Howland, who opened her own firm in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1849, and hired only women. She was most famous for her extremely popular “May Basket” valentines, of which we own two. They were made of sheets of paper lace, with a large, paper-cut basket in the middle that contained huge, crowded collages of flowers made from paper and fabric. In the 1850s, a besotted young fellow wanted to impress his fiancée, and ordered a very impressive May Basket valentine from Esther for a whopping $10, which translates to approximately $300 today. He most certainly knocked the socks off his gal, but her parents, sadly, were less than impressed: they immediately broke off the engagement because they were appalled by how badly he handled his money. Poor guy…literally…
Esther Howland. Untitled valentine (two putti in a wreath), 1850/59. Bequest of Paul E. Pearson.

Web sites fostering this type of community have enjoyed the benefits of organic growth through word-of-mouth referrals. They have seen increases in the quantity and quality of user interaction. These are just the sort of tactics that the market research industry needs to embrace and leverage.
Past News ReleasesRSS
New York, NY (PRWEB) July 25, 2007
Vindale Research (http://www.vindale.com ) recently launched an updated version of its website designed to better engage its members with new features, offers and market research opportunities.
As the landscape of the Internet continues to undergo rapid change, many businesses continue to find they must continuously adapt to stay ahead of the competition. The first phase of the world wide web has already begun to collect dust as the rules change to define a second version, commonly referred to as 'Web 2.0'. Services launched during the first iteration focused particularly on translating existing offline capabilities to online ones; ad agencies, photo printers, and retailers of all varieties scrambled to make their offerings available and relevant to the online world.
Eventually, business owners started to realize the full potential of the powerful new medium, and their offerings changed accordingly. For example, Britannica Online was edged out by Wikipedia, 'yellow page' directories began to harness user-generated tagging, and personal websites became interactive blogs.
All of these transformations have one thing in common: the formation of community. The users themselves have become assets to their fellow members; they have given one another a reason to remain involved. For example, blogs and message boards have kept members up-to-date with relevant news in a casual fashion that draws readership because it opens the dialog between the author and its many readers. Vindale Research Director John Hrzic stresses "Web sites fostering this type of community have enjoyed the benefits of organic growth through word-of-mouth referrals. They have seen increases in the quantity and quality of user interaction. These are just the sort of tactics that the market research industry needs to embrace and leverage."
Market research is one sector in particular that has failed to leverage these new tools of the web. Users are inadequately involved; they lose interest more quickly than in the past. Though many of these companies operate on the fundamental premise of rewarding their members with cash or prizes for their involvement, that alone is no longer enough to keep users engaged in market research panels for the long-term.
The problem is exacerbated by sparse survey deliveries; panelists lose patience and bounce from one survey web site to the next. The end result is excessive duplication and reduced data quality among market researcher panels. Therefore, it is not surprising that the marketing costs associated with recruiting new panel members are rising as the practices of these businesses continue to lag behind the rest of the online world.
In response, Vindale Research has recently launched a redesigned web site, enhanced with several new features designed specifically to address these concerns. The new service will provide its members with interactive community tools including a blog, interactive member polls, and a refer-a-friend rewards program. Additionally, a steady stream of varied paid surveys, offers, samples, and product evaluations promises to continuously engage members and meet their expectations.
As the inclusion of 'Web 2.0' tactics becomes more widespread, it becomes increasingly important to consider the potential benefits associated with their incorporation. Already, rumblings about 'Web 3.0' -- which is predicted to lean heavily on integration with mobile and global positioning technologies -- are beginning to gather momentum. Businesses that fail to adapt will face greater competition from competitors that engage their members by facilitating their involvement.

The dark stipples are only next to the "Airmail" Border and I added a dark brown "shadow" effect to the lower sides of the aircraft... making it "pop out" just a little better than before.

JJ Watt is not of this world - and here we bring you more proof.
The Asgardian Watt has arms the size of tree trunks, his metal elbow brace giving him the appearance of part-human, part-cyborg, sent from the future to terrorise AFC QBs.
His latest ludicrous display of athleticism came on the Jimmy Kimmel show, when he did a box-jump over Kimmel and Guillermo Rodriguez.
People who are 6ft-5in and 290lbs should not be able to do this. I'm not sure anybody bound by the normal rules of physics and human physical capabilities should be able to do this...
But this is JJ Watt. Part-human, part-cyborg. But full-on nice guy.
Because that's the thing, in this age of Josh Gordon marijuana suspensions, Ray Rice domestic violence scandals and PED nightmares, JJ Watt stands apart.
He genuinely appears above the typical NFL discussion, witness his candidacy for the MVP award. In no rational appraisal of the award should JJ Watt stand a chance - he should not be the 'Most Valuable' player in a league when there's quarterbacks like Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady.
But he's so likeable, so nice, it just might happen.
Rodgers and Brady are clearly skilful football players, the best in the business at the league's most demanding position.
Quarterbacks make rapid calculations, the best make them faster than others, and go on to complete basic physical actions on account of their decisions.
Watt has not shown such mental dexterity when pressured by 300lb monsters hell-bent on bludgeoning him into submission. He is the monster.
Only he's not.
There's the story, brilliantly told by ESPN's Rick Reilly, on Watt's friendship with three young children orphaned when a distracted driver ploughed into the family's car and killed both parents...
But that's just one remarkable Watt story in a season that seems that have been filled with them.
Everybody knows about the stats and the touchdowns, but what about the time he smashed a blocking sled so hard he ripped it right off its hinges...
Or his selfie celebration after one of his 20.5 sacks this season, the victim, Tennessee Titans quarterback Zach Mettenberger, whose social media updates caught Watt's eye.
Or his unique approach to endorsements...
Or nailing 32-yard field goals in practice...
Whether it's helping out bullied Texans fans or destroying Seasame Street characters, Watt is a player removed from the bad news stories that cling to the NFL like a nasty smell...
His attitude at the Pro Bowl, a game next to nobody takes notice of except the fans, sums up Watt the player and Watt the man.
"I just tried to enjoy it," Watt told ESPN. "That's what the Pro Bowl is all about, giving the fans a good show. Everybody worked so hard to get here, you want to enjoy yourself and play some good ball. Guys are dancing around and having a good time, that's what it's all about."
His stat line: one interception, one fumble recovery and a stadium dancing to a routine led by the Texans #99.
It was a season to remember, here's to a few more...

The leak of a draft Canadian foreign policy plan, first reported nationally on 19 November, was treated somewhat breathlessly by the media and hyped as a major story.
It’s news to no one that the world is beset by a bewildering array of complex and difficult challenges, ranging from how best to manage the global commons, to diminishing biodiversity, to resource scarcity.
Canada has been intensely engaged in Afghanistan for more than a decade. Something approaching $30 billion has been expended, some 160 lives have been lost, and perhaps ten times that have been seriously injured or wounded.
When it comes to many of the world’s problems – and their solutions – the prospects for security and development are intimately linked to science. Yet there exists a yawning disconnect between science and technology, on one hand, and diplomacy and international policy on the other.
Mr. Assange and the WikiLeaks revelations have produced something akin to a “Napster moment” for governments. The emergence of WikiLeaks, and the similar sites that are popping up all over cyberspace, looks very much like a game changer.
Could a Department of International Affairs and Global Issues be smaller and more beautiful than DFAIT? By my reckoning, DFAIT now has fewer friends, less influence, and more diminished discretionary resources than… probably ever.
Since the end of the Cold War, in seeking to advance their interests or when significant differences arise, most governments have opted to reach for the gun. The consequences have been calamitous, not only in places like Afghanistan and Iraq, but also on the home front, where society is becoming increasingly militarized and the armed forces are adulated.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade will lose about $170 million from its budget over the next three years. The reductions in various areas represent mainly false economies, and are only going to make a desperate situation even worse. This is bad news for prospective Canadian security and prosperity.
After a flurry of activity in the 1990s – the land mine ban, International Criminal Court, children in conflict, blood diamonds, the Responsibility to Protect – it has been over a decade since Canada attempted any significant diplomatic initiative.

University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas is set to participate in the 2022 NCAA Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships, but one teammate told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview that she fears the impact of her participation has "completely ruined the integrity of the sport."
The student, who spoke to Fox News on the condition of anonymity out of fear of retribution, spoke highly of her team’s accomplishments at the Ivy League Championships in Cambridge, Massachusetts, last month but expressed her disappointment in the decisions that allowed Thomas, a 22-year-old transgender woman who competed on the men’s team for three seasons, to compete against women with record-breaking performances.
"It’s not necessarily an achievement in my mind," she said. "Women's records are separate from men’s records. It’s its own distinct category because no woman is going to be as fast as a man, and here is just completely – we’re just throwing away the definition of a record to fit into someone else's agenda of what it should mean to them when in reality it makes no scientific sense to do so."
Thomas is one of 322 athletes who qualified for the men’s and women’s championships this week after securing several records at the Ivy League Championships last month with wins in the 100, 200 and 500 freestyle events. She's set to compete in those same events, and in two of them, she ranks first in the nation.
"It’s still just disappointing to know that the NCAA lacks the courage to do the right thing," the swimmer said. "I think if Lia were to break an Olympian’s record, it would cause a lot of damage to the sport and to women, and I think it would cause more people to come out [against the guidelines], people that were afraid to speak before."
The NCAA updated its transgender participation policy in January to defer to the guidance of each sport’s governing body. The NCAA announced that its policy would become effective in March, starting with the Division I Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships.
USA Swimming updated its policy shortly after requiring transgender athletes who are competing at an elite level to have small levels of testosterone – half of what Thomas was allowed to compete with – for at least 36 months before being eligible, but the NCAA said weeks later that the Administrative Subcommittee of the Committee on Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sports (CMAS) decided that it wouldn’t alter its testosterone guidance, stating that "implementing additional changes at this time could have unfair and potentially detrimental impacts on schools and student-athletes intending to compete in 2022 NCAA women's swimming championships."
"I think there’s a way where you can still be your authentic self and be who you are and swim as who you are while not competing against women," the student told Fox News. "If you had compassion for your teammates or women at all, you would admit you have an unfair advantage and not do this to women."
The student said the team has been supportive of Thomas expressing herself despite what many believe, but she explained how she could not stand by a decision to compete against other women with an advantage.
"I don’t understand how we could have been more supportive as a team," she said. "But I will not back down, and my teammates and women across the country should not be told to back down from speaking their mind about an issue that so heavily affects them. They’re being discriminated against. Women’s rights are being violated."
She continued: "This whole season has been about her. Everything this whole season has been about Lia, and we’ve all sacrificed everything, our entire livelihoods we've sacrificed. How much more should we be willing to sacrifice for Lia. I’m not willing to sacrifice anything else. We’ve already sacrificed team morale and the way that people look at our team success and have the media, to that aspect, thrown in."
The student said while she’s hopeful for the year ahead, she feared Thomas’ participation has left behind a legacy damaging the sport.
"This will still haunt us in the fact that pool and team records have been broken unfairly and in an illegitimate way. We’re supposed to look up at the record board and see Lia’s name and somewhere accept that."
She added, "It completely ruins the integrity of the school."


Smokers are being urged to quit by health officials, who warn they’re 14 times likelier to develop severe coronavirus symptoms.
Public Health England warned that the habit weakens the lungs, which puts smokers in danger of coming down with a bad case of the virus.
“In light of this unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, there has never been a more important time to stop smoking,” John Newton, who is director of health improvement, said in a statement. “Not only for your own health but to protect those around you.”
The agency pointed to a study out of Wuhan, China, that found smokers who contracted the virus were 14 times more likely to develop severe disease.
“Smoking tobacco is known to damage the lungs and airways causing a range of severe respiratory problems,” the agency said. “The evidence clearly shows COVID-19 virus attacks the respiratory system, which explains why smokers are at greater risk.”
The agency also warned smokers could come down with the virus more easily because they’re putting their hands to their mouths.
Secondhand smoke can also put others around them at higher risk when it comes to the dangerous bug, the department said.
“If you smoke, you are not only putting yourself at greater risk of developing severe disease from the COVID-19 virus, but those around you exposed to second-hand smoke, including children, are also put at increased risk,” the agency said.


Telangana Government has declared to give 10 lakhs to 462 who sacrificed their lives for the formation of Telangana. All organizations in Telangana have welcomed KCR decision. Telangana JAC President Kodanda Ram too appreciated decision but slightly differs with the number that Telnagana Government announced.
This is the first time that Kodanda Ram openly differs with KCR after the formation. Kodandaram said that there were some people who committed suicide for not forming the state. Professor was predicted another 200 people to the Government’s list. As per Professor Kodanda Ram the total number that comes to around 650 to sacrifice for the cause of Telangana.
Kodanda Ram wants to include the people those were missed in Government list. Kodanda Ram will handed over the book that published by TDF (Telangana Development Forum) to the Government. He said that everyone knows who participated in the agitation and who sacrificed lives for Telangana. It seems that Professor is waiting for the Government list of 462 to find fault.

I think I’ve blogged more this March than any month thus far! I’ve had the time to take pictures lately, and I’ve been loving it!! The IT guy at our law school contacted me about taking nine month pictures of his darling daughter Brooklyn. After several days of rain, the skies cleared and we had a fun time on a gorgeous day at the park this weekend!
I’ll be away for a bit…I’m getting MARRIED this weekend to my wonderful fiance Matthew! Next time I blog, I will be Mrs. Enslein 🙂 I hope to get some shots of my own throughout this wedding weekend, and of course on the honeymoon. Stay tuned!
While distracted with snacks, I was able to tuck a flower behind her ear 🙂
Proud parents watching their little girl
I love tiny baby hands. They’re so cute!
After her bottle she was all smiles!
One of the best parts of taking children’s pictures is all the bright colors that accompany them!
Her blue eyes are the best!

"She's already met with designers!" a source tells Us of the Fashion Star mentor, already mom to daughter Maxwell, 9 months. Simpson, 32, and Johnson, 33, got engaged in November 2010 and have pushed back their wedding twice due to the singer's pregnancies.

Figuring out what you're looking for in a partner — and in a relationship — comes easier to some people than to others. Many of us will have an idea of our core values and beliefs as a person — things that are fundamentally a part of you — and those are definitely important to keep in mind when looking for a partner. "Core values are fundamental beliefs that help to guide and dictate a person's behavior as well as inspire someone to commit to a particular action that is in line with certain life goals and fulfillment," Katie Krimer, MA, LMSW, & Therapist, tells Bustle. "Core values as they pertain to a romantic relationship refer to those same fundamental beliefs that might make one feel safe, comfortable, inspired, passionate, and connected to their partner and within the relationship."
But even though your core values might be obvious, they're not the only things that you need to consider about potential partners. There's also personality, hobbies, quirks, likes, dislikes — and so much more. But the more you learn about yourself, the more you'll be able to know what you're actually looking for in a relationship — and in a partner. Taking some online quizzes can give you a bit of good guidance. Some of them are serious, some are more silly, but they can still give you a general idea of your expectations of a partner and of a relationship — and what you should keep an eye out for.
Here are seven online quizzes that can help you figure out what you actually want in a relationship — because that's the first step toward getting it.


The 2021 NCAA Tournament Bracket is officially set!
The Pac-12 Tournament Champions, Oregon State Beavers come in as the No. 12 seed in the Midwest region. The Beavers will draw a very tough match-up against the No. 5 seeded Tennessee Volunteers. Tennessee is top-5 in defensive efficiency according to Kenpom, allowing just 63.2 points per game.
Congrats on the PAC-12 tourney championship and excited to watch the ride continue! https://t.co/r59r2fjuKl

As for the Oregon Ducks, the Pac-12 regular season champs, they clocked in at the No. 7 seed in the West region. Their match-up? They will draw the No. 10 seed VCU Rams. Oregon won 11 of their final 12 games prior to their loss to Oregon State in the Pac-12 Tournament semi-finals, and a lot of it can be credited to their hot shooting and depth coming off of the bench.

Great sauce! I would eat that on anything. This was a huge hit at our family's Labor Day barbecue.

Great recipe. Love both the dry rub and the sauce. Both compliment each other with a wonderful mix of Spice, sweet and Tang. The cinnamon just adds a nice Pop to the Chicken . Sauce is nice and thick for even coating. I used wings. I grilled them on a stove top grill pan then finished them off in the oven, This recipe would work well with other meats and it would make for an excellent Meat Loaf topping *I recommend this one as a Must try *Taste of Home Volunteer Field Editor

Excellent! Sauce is delicious. I have also made sauce and poured over chicken and baked. Would be good on pork roast too.

Synopses & Reviews
"Ms. Gilbert's couplets read beautifully, encompassing Chrétien's range of tonefrom wit to elevation of sentimentvery sensitively."Charles Muscatine, author of Chaucer and the French Tradition
"A wonderfully accurate and witty translation of Chrétien's Erec and Enide which brilliantly renders the rhymed octosyllabics of the original text in compelling, colloquial English. . . . A treat not just for students and scholars of Old French literature but, more important, for what we now call general readersthat is, all those who relish a rollicking, well-told tale."Sandra M. Gilbert, editor of The Norton Anthology of Literature by Women
"Older translations, generally in stupefying Maloryan prose, convey little of the sense of the poetry so obvious in the original, and admirably reproduced in this translation."Robert Harrison, translator of Gallic Salt: Eighteen Fabliaux
"One of the best English verse renderings of any poem by Chrétien."William J. Kibler, author of An Introduction to Old French
"A union of scholarship and consummate art that affected me like the great stories I read in my formative years; a permanent vicarious experience."Ruth Stone, poet, author of Second-Hand Coat
"This will be a standard English translation of Erec and Enide and a definitive one."Roger J. Steiner, editor of The New College French and English Dictionary
In this new verse translation of one of the great works of French literature, Dorothy Gilbert captures the vivacity, wit, and grace of the first known Arthurian romance. Erec and Enide
is the story of the quest and coming of age of a young knight, an illustrious member of Arthur's court, who must learn to balance the demands of a masculine public lifetests of courage, skill, adaptability, and mature judgmentwith the equally urgent demands of the private world of love and marriage. We see his wife, Enide, develop as an exemplar of chivalry in the female, not as an Amazon, but as a brave, resolute, and wise woman. Composed ca. 1170, Erec and Enide
masterfully combines elements of Celtic legend, classical and ecclesiastical learning, and French medieval culture and ideals.
In choosing to write in rhymed octosyllabic coupletsChrétien's prosodic patternDorothy Gilbert has tried to reproduce what so often gets lost in prose or free verse translations: the precise and delicate meter; the rhyme, with its rich possibilities for emphasis, nuance, puns and jokes; and the "mantic power" implicit in proper names. The result will enable the scholar who cannot read Old French, the student of literature, and the general reader to gain a more sensitive and immediate understanding of the form and spirit of Chrétien's poetry, and to appreciate the more Chrétien's great contribution to European literature.
About the Author
Dorothy Gilbert's original poetry has appeared in The New Yorker, The Nation, The Iowa Review, and other journals. An independent scholar, she has taught literature and writing since 1971. She lives in Oakland, California.

A titular see in the province of Arabia and the Patriarchate of Antioch. According to Josephus, it was a city of Decapolis in which a number of Jews resided. Alexander Jannaeus took possession of it, although it was surrounded by a triple wall (Bell. Jud., I, 4, 8). In 68 A.D. Vespasian ravaged the country and sacked the city because the Jews were all-powerful there (op. cit., IV, 9, 1). Simon, the son of Gioras, one of the principal leaders of the rebellious Jews, was born at Gerasa. The city is mentioned as forming a part, sometimes of Arabia, sometimes of Syria, by Ptolemy, Pliny, and Stephen of Byzantium, who also speak of several notable persons of the place. Coins and a number of inscriptions prove that it was sometimes called Antioch on the Chrysorrhoas, the little river by which it is watered. In the Gospel ( Matthew 8:28 ; Mark 5:1 ; Luke 8:26, 37 ) there is question of the country of the Gerasans, but if this name is to be read instead of Gadarenians or Gergesians, the reference is to another locality, near the Lake of Tiberias. The prosperity of Gerasa, once considerable, dates from the first centuries of our era, its buildings date from the emperors of the second and third centuries. Its destruction was brought about by earthquakes and the Arab invasions. We know three Greek Bishops of Gerasa: Exairesius, fourth century; Plancus, 451; Aeneas, who built the church of St. Theodore in the sixth century. In 1121 Baldwin II attempted in vain to conquer it, and at the beginning of the thirteenth century the geographer Yakut informs us that it was no longer inhabited. In modern times, several thousand Tcherkesses have established themselves amid its ruins and have unfortunately destroyed most of the Graeco-Roman monuments which time had spared. Until recently Djerasch was the best preserved city of Roman antiquity and the one which afforded us the most exact idea of Roman civilization. Its ramparts, in a state of partial preservation, are still to be seen; also a magnificent triumphal arch, with three openings about 82 feet wide by 29 high; a "naumachia", or circus for naval combats; two theatres; the forum with fifty-five columns still standing; the great colonnade which crosses the city from north to south, and which still retains from 100 to 150 of its columns; several aqueducts; some propylaea; a temple of the Sun, the columns of which are about 40 feet high, and several other temples, baths, etc. Greek and Latin inscriptions are very numerous among the ruins. The ramparts of the city cover a distance of about three miles.
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.
