The effectiveness of that content, however, hinges on using the correct strategy for your business, be it a brick and mortar company or an online store.
The following list will walk you through not only the types of content you should use, but how to use them.
The written word is the best option to address a target audience with a direct message. Articles containing the language, expressions, terms and words unique to a particular industry, niche or market automatically set the context and tone of the message. Impeccable grammar and proper sentence and paragraph structure will allow you to command audience attention and send a clear message.
Photos and computer-generated graphics not only attract the eye, they aid in delivering your message by illustrating your company’s products, services, concepts and ideas. Such image content must be high quality in design, composition, color and clarity.
Video can serve a variety of purposes from providing product or procedural demonstrations, to giving a face to a business or product, to teaching classes half way around the world to generating a buzz in social networking platforms.
Images accompanied by small amounts of text referred to as infographics are the latest Internet and media craze. Infographics are an increasingly popular, not to mention visual way of relaying information and complex concepts and messages. Conveniently eliminating the obvious sales pitch, infographics can be used to share a company’s story in a creative and entertaining way.
Standard original content can also be leveraged into other forms of content such as microsites, white papers, webinars or webcasts, branded content tools, research reports, traditional media, print magazines, digital magazines, mobile content, podcasts, eBooks and print newsletters.
Purpose of Content Creation
Information is the core of content creation. With information sharing, businesses can grow brand awareness, boost customer numbers and develop and maintain positive relationships with current clients.
Content can also be leveraged for other objectives, including:
* The engagement of employees via company blogs.
* Recruiting through organization web pages.
* Greater business development, especially when such content is shared between businesses.
Keys To Successful Content Creation
* Identify the Audience
To send an appropriate and effective message, a business must correctly identify the audience to whom it is delivering the information.
* Style Guide
To develop a business’ overall brand, content consistency is critical. To ensure consistency in a message, style elements must be decided on before the creation process begins. These elements include the tone, words to be used and choice of language.
* New Content
Just like produce sold in a market, online content must be fresh if it is to attract the attention of the target audience and encourage them to return to your website. Your content must be unique while providing information readers will find useful. In this age of information, content is not just about what the business wants to relay, it is about the needs and wants of the audience. Once customers appreciate the value of a business, they are more likely to buy your product or service.
* Ongoing Development
Consumer behavior is always changing. Creating content to keep up with a changing marketplace means staying up-to-date on all information that pertains to your niche. Self-education results not only in fresh topics to write about, it enhances your authority and credibility with your audience.
* Reusing Content
With imagination, creativity and resourcefulness, you can breathe new life into old content. Repurposing or reusing content can come in the form of images being converted into slide show presentations or video clips being arranged as part of a webinar series. Text entries can be incorporated into newsletters and eMagazines.
Ideally, content creation should only be assigned to a team or a person who either has an understanding of your industry and establishment or who has the capacity to conduct the necessary research to learn about it.
Whether you have your own content writing staff or you commission a content writing service, it’s critical they have full comprehension of the special strategies that need to be used in the online business world.

A Minor Adagio
$3.99 – $8.99
A Minor Adagio is a beginner level piece that is the epitome of adagio – slow, solemn, and expressive. It is comprised of chords with the highest chord tone carrying the melodic line. Each chord has only 3 keys played simultaneously between the 2 hands, and all the intervals are either 2nds or 3rds. Combined with the steady rhythm and pattern-based transitions, this piece is very approachable for beginner pianists, yet it does not feel or sound “simple”. The minor key and dynamics that range from pianississimo to forte encourage a mature depth of musical expression. A Minor Adagio is an excellent selection especially for those interested in learning to play classical music and traditional hymns.
minor key, triads (A minor), slurs, ties, thirds, accidentals, ledger lines, dynamics, phrasing, 5-finger Hand Position, hand movement (minimal), one crossover

About the Project
The origins of this project arose on a holiday on the Kerry coast of Ireland.
In the picturesque village of Sneem, an unexpected sculpture came into view. Who was he? Why was he there? It was the figure of Steve 'Crusher' Casey, a champion rower, wrestler and boxer - a man even Joe Louis was afraid to fight. How many other sporting statues of this kind were there around our islands? How many more stories of our sporting heritage could be celebrated through sculptures and memorials?
Steve 'Crusher' Casey (1908 - 1987) was one of Ireland's finest sportsmen - a champion rower, wrestler and boxer. One of a family of eight children from Sneem, Casey developed great strength as a rower and led an all-Casey crew. The brothers won the All-England championships and the 1936 Olympics beckoned (they could still represent Britain even though the village of their birth was now in the Republic). Just before the Games, the brothers were declared ineligible as no longer 'amateurs', having fought occasional wrestling bouts for extra cash. Sporting history could have been very different. They believed they would have won all six events at the Olympics in which they would have raced. Steve Casey became, instead, wrestling heavyweight champion of the world and a boxer of the highest class. In 1983, a family reunion took place in Sneem. The brothers climbed into the same rowing boat used in their glory days. They had not rowed together for 50 years but, it was reported, the boat 'glided as smoothly as a raindrop sliding down silk'. Many in the crowd were tearful, watching the final performance of the 'greatest oarsmen and finest individual athletes Ireland had ever seen'. A powerful life-size statue of Steve 'Crusher' Casey, by Alan Ryan Hall, was erected in 2000 in the centre of Sneem. The Crusher is ready for any challenger.
The project led to many fascinating and pleasurable visits around the country discovering and photographing our sporting sculptures. See our interactive map of all the statues and memorials featured in the book. The range is considerable and sometimes unexpected:
- figures whose achievements have brought pride to a particular community or club;
- heroes who have so graced the national stage that statues honour them at the centres of their sport;
- sportsmen whose early death shocked or brought a premature end to a flowering career
- stadium or team disasters that have left an indelible memory of tragedy; and
- a rich collection of four-legged heroes who have captured the public's love and affection.
Sporting heroes represented in sculpture span centuries - from an 18th century Welsh mountain runner of legend, Guto, to modern Olympic heroes and footballers.
In the Welsh village of Mountain Ash, a delightful statue by Peter Nicholas continues the legend of Griffith Morgan (1700-1737), affectionately known as Guto of Nythbran Farm. Famed for his speed, developed from herding sheep and chasing hares as a child, Guto was by far the fastest runner in the region. Coming out of retirement for one final 12 mile race, aged 37, he surged past his younger challenger up the final hill to victory. Slapped on the back in congratulation by his ecstatic lover, he fatally collapsed and died in her arms. He was buried in Llanwonno where a memorial gravestone, laid in 1886, recalls that final race "completed in seven minutes within the hour" (a pace which would outperform even the 2012 Olympic champion Mo Farah). His grave, and now this fine statue of Guto alongside a greyhound, are focal points of the famous Nos Galan (New Year's Eve) Road Races started in 1958 by Bernard Baldwin who reflected that "the sigh of the wind and the call of the wild will forever sing the sad requiem of the greatest runner that ever lived".
The project emerged. By placing each subject in the era in which his or her sporting contribution was most prominent, this kaleidoscope of heroes and memories offers a different and vivid view of the history of British sport. This view has been captured in book form in Immortals of British Sport: A celebration of Britain's sporting history through sculpture.
In turn, this website contains a selection of sporting immortals with photographs and (in précis form) their stories. The flow of sporting sculptures around Britain continues. Our enthusiasm for commemorating heroes of the past in bronze or permanent memorial shows no sign of diminishing. We hope, through this website, to capture many of these continuing developments. There will be more immortals of British sport.

Beck Turned Down Multiple Requests To Write the 'Mad Men' Theme Song“It’s about ad executives in the '60s? They’re going to make a show about that? Really? Um, I don’t think so,” he remembers saying. “Yeah, just like the best show ever made!”
Stream New Albums From Beck and St. VincentStart your week off right with a first listen of Beck and St. Vincent's new albums.
Beck Talks Possible Pharrell CollaborationThe artist is only weeks away from releasing the lush, acoustic 'Morning Phase' album on Feb. 25, which critics are already hailing among the finest full-lengths of the year.
Listen to Beck's New, Slow Song 'Waking Light'Of the new album, Beck says "I think at one point we realized there was nothing faster than 60 BPM."
Beck Debuts New Song 'Blue Moon'Beck has spent the last few years covering other people's songs, including David Bowie and Yanni, but with his new single, "Blue Moon," he proves he's not so bad at doing his own thing.
Why Beck’s ‘Morning Phase’ Is Already Among the Best Albums of 2014The overall sound is lush and engrossing, an ideal soundtrack to Beck’s tales of “getting through that long, dark night of the soul – whatever you want to call it.”
Beck Announces New Album 'Morning Phase', His First in Over Five YearsAfter five years of various one-off gigs, large-scale composition projects, covering entire Yanni albums, and writing albums out on sheets of paper, the Beck is back.

Monday night, chef Brad Lazarenko of Culina Mill Creek rolled up his sleeves once again and dished out his customer’s favourites as the restaurant celebrated its fifth year in business.
As usual, the restaurant was abuzz with the sound of people laughing, talking and enjoying their food. Customers filling the restaurant had won the chance to gather, as guests of restaurant co-owners Lazarenko and Ed Donszelmann, and taste some of Culina’s classic dishes. I was lucky enough to be invited and sat at a table with some of Brad’s best suppliers including Lori Menshik and Carlos Lopez of Full Course Strategies, a local distributor. Dessert maven Linda Kearney, who owns Queen of Tarts, and her husband and business partner Paul, also graced our table, and we talked about food a lot. We decided Edmonton needed a little spot where food companies could set up together year around, inside, not so much a market as a business incubator where customers could buy things. Some 20 years ago, such an experiment was hosted at Boardwalk market, but the city wasn’t ready for it. Maybe now?
But I digress. Chef Zana Murray was also in the kitchen Monday night and she prepared two appetizers of Spicy Fried Chickpeas and Potatas Bravas (roasted potatoes with a chili aioli). For entrees, we enjoyed Line-caught Wild Salmon (with goat cheese almond sauce and cucumber tomato salsa.) But the highlight for the people at our table was Culina’s signature dish – Alberta Beef (aged 45 days) and then grilled and served with a blue cheese and chocolate sauce. Tender and flavourful, the beef was the treat it always is at Culina.
After supper, we wandered just a couple of doors down to have a look at recent changes at Passa Tempo, also owned by Lazarenko, by far the coolest little wine bar in the city. Lazarenko just secured permission to put two tiny tables outside Passa Tempo, where he has erected a little fence, an umbrella and a couple of small tubs of flowers. Like Paris, but in Edmonton. Check out the happy hour (with half-price pours of wine) which happens Tuesday to Friday from 5 to 6 p.m.
Culina Mill Creek is at 9914-89 Avenue. The phone number is 780-437-5588.

Anthony Munoz, the first Cincinnati Bengals player in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, was the one doing the honors of informing the family of the second this past week.
It was Munoz who delivered the news via phone call to Ken Riley II informing him that his late father’s long wait was finally over and that he would be forever enshrined in Canton.
Riley II had previously vowed never to visit the hall until his father’s wait ended.
“It’s bittersweet,” Ken Riley II told Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com. “Just relief. And disbelief because it’s been over 30 years for this to finally happen. It’s like, ‘Wow.’”
Here’s a video of the historic moment:

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - Authorities say drug lords used western New York as a gateway for the biggest cocaine ring Canadian authorities have either seen.
$30-million worth of cocaine was found in one seizure earlier this year. Canadian authorities now believe they have taken a bite out of an organized crime ring that traffics close to $2-billion of cocaine a year, much of which they believe is funneled through western New York.
The arrests of key figures in an international drug-trafficking network called "Project Ink" were announced Friday by a joint task force of Canadian and U.S. law enforcement. Officials have identified Ontario's Niagara Region has one of the main hubs in Canada in the narcotics distribution network.
Sgt. Joseph Maggiolo of Niagara Regional Police Services, "They stand to bring in roughly $1.9 billion off the street."
Project Ink was launched by Canadian authorities last year.
The narcotics investigation led agents to one of the units in a St. Catharines warehouse, where they seized 110 kilograms of cocaine - roughly 200 pounds - with a street value of about $30 million.
With more than a dozen law enforcement agencies on the trail of the traffickers, they have traced most of the cocaine to the drug cartels in Mexico, with truckloads shipped over the road to Los Angeles, and from their to the major hubs, including Vancouver British Columbia in Western Canada. Another major supply route went from Chicago into western New York and over the border into Southern Ontario and on to Quebec.
Vincent Salvatore of Homeland Security said, "Moving from the the United States into Canada, including Vancouver and the Montreal area, and we are told, some of it being staged within the Buffalo area, and then transported into Canada."
And officials say it is western New York's unique border with Canada that makes it an attractive crossing, even in boats.
"They were utilizing the dingys late at night and going across, and bringing the dope or the Ecstasy," Sgt. Maggiolo said.
The Ecstasy that Sgt. Maggiolo was referred to is part of the trade off at the border. The cocaine is traded to the Canadian drug dealers in exchange for Ecstasy or weed for the American dealers.
Reverend Roy Harriger returned to court Wednesday night. The pastor is facing charges of molesting children.

Hidrocystoma 1_0913 Derm Dx
Hydrocystoma 2_0913 Derm Dx
A 42-year-old patient presents complaining of a “bump” on her lower eyelid. Examination reveals a translucent papule located near the inner canthus. When it is punctured, a clear jelly-like material is expressed.
Submit your diagnosis to see full explanation.
Apocrine hidrocystomas are 1-3 mm translucent papules that usually occur as solitary lesions on the face or scalp. They are more commonly seen in women and appear skin-colored to bluish in color. Apocrine hidrocystomas are believed to be proliferations of apocrine sweat gland coils.
Hidrocystomas can be classified as apocrine or eccrine depending on the histologic features. Apocrine hidrocystomas are unilocular to multilocular cysts in the dermis that are lined by cuboidal epithelial cells with bulbous protrusions, also known as “snouting.” Luminal decapitation secretion is another characteristic histopathologic finding.
Eccrine hidrocystomas contain clear fluid and tend to be lined by two layers of cuboidal, flattened epithelium. The presence of human milk-fat globulin antigen expression differentiates apocrine from eccrine hidrocystomas.
Schöpf-Schulz-Passarge syndrome (SSPS) is characterized by multiple hidrocystomas on the eyelids with apocrine secretions, along with palmoplantar syringofibroadenomas. Hypodontia, hypotrichosis, nail dystrophy and other adnexal tumors may also be seen in patients with SSPS.
Syringomas are 1-3 mm benign adnexal neoplasms occurring most commonly on the forehead and cheeks. Lesions may also occur on the penis, vulva, abdomen or axillae. They are almost always multiple and exhibit sweat duct differentiation.
Cystic basal cell carcinoma may resemble hidrocystomas, appearing as dome-shaped, blue-gray nodules.
An epidermal inclusion cyst is a benign tumor of the skin that presents as a nonfluctuant cystic mass located most frequently on the face, neck or trunk. Stratified squamous epithelial lining with keratohyalin granules is a characteristic histologic finding.
Diagnosis & Treatment
A definitive diagnosis can be reached through biopsy, which is crucial to rule out more serious conditions such as basal cell carcinoma. Histopathologic findings, as described above, include dermal cystic spaces lined by cuboidal to columnar epithelial cells with decapitation secretion.
Apocrine hidrocystomas can be treated with simple excision. Other treatment options include electrodessication, and CO2 or pulsed dye laser. Multiple eccrine hidrocystomas may be treated with topical atropine ointment 1% or scopolamine cream 0.01%. However, success is variable and pupil size may increase as a side effect.

It was in 2005 when now Asia’s Pop Sweetheart Julie Anne San Jose was discovered via QTV 11’s (now GMA News TV) singing competition show Popstar Kids. She was not the grand winner but fate brought her to bigger venues and a bigger career path.
Singing the theme songs of various GMA Network shows like Dyesebel, being a main stay in variety shows like Party Pilipinas, Sunday Pinasaya, Studio 7 and acting in her own teleseryes like My Guitar Princess, singer, performer, host and endorser Julie Anne San Jose definitely stands out when it comes to talent.
But it’s time that she goes back to her roots, singing the songs of divas like she did when she entered showbusiness. Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, their songs are what made Julie Anne San Jose who she is right now. That’s why musical director Danny Tan and director and producer Louie Ignacio wanted to make Julie Sings the Divas possible.
“Direk, bakit hindi natin i-produce si Julie, na ibalik natin siya, parang going back to her roots na divas, diva songs. And besides, mahilig ang mga Pinoy sa diva. So, finally we decided, kami ni direk Louie na diva songs. We’re going to showcase Julie Anne singing the songs of Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Barbara Streisand, Mariah Carey, Tina Turner, Christina Aguilera and mga bago like Pink,” musical director Danny Tan shares.
“And then, maraming pasabog si direk Louie sa show, visuals and then ang maganda dito kasi, for Julie Anne, matikman niya na makapag-concert siya with an orchestra, and then we have the UP Concert Chorus, 18-piece na voices with four back-up singers. So, musically busog na busog. Musically, you will be well-fed,” direk Danny Tan continues.
For direk Louie Ignacio, he describes Julie Anne as “nag-iisang diva ng GMA ngayon.” So she should be taken care of and given projects like concerts.
“Actually, narinig ko na before na gusto mag-produce ni sir Dan na not-the-usual concert na ginagawa ko kasi for the past concerts na ginagawa ko mga pop, mga R&B, mga rock tapos sumasayaw ako tapos pinapakita ko na nakaka-play ako ng instruments. But this time, it’s all singing. And nakaka-overwhelm kasi nung pinakita sa akin ni sir Danny ‘yung listahan ng mga kanta, sobrang dami siguro mga ten pages. Pero handpicked naman ‘yung mga songs. I’m gonna be singing 22 songs,” Julie Anne shares.
But with all those diva singers or songs, which one is the most challenging?
“All by Myself by Celine Dion. Bukod sa nasustain niya ‘yung high notes sa modulation part, meron pa akong ibang gagawin. Abangan niyo na lang. And there’s another song, first time siya sa pandinig ko. It’s called Adagio by Lara Fabian, mejo classical and pop-ish. Challenging siya, sobrang challenging. Hindi ko ma-explain, basta ibang klase ‘yung atake ni Lara Fabian pero of course, gagawan ko naman ng sariling rendition,” Julie Anne answers.
Catch Julie Sings the Divas on July 20 at The Theatre at Solaire, 8PM with special guests UP Concert Chorus, UP Arco String Orchestra, Maricris Garcia, Melbelline Caluag and Mr. Arnel Pineda.
Watch our interviews of Julie Anne San Jose, directors Danny Tana and Louie Ignacio below:

The most northern state of Myanmar and the capital of Kachin State is Myitkyina. Laying on the west bank of the Ayeyarwady River and enjoying a sub tropical climate, Myitkyina literally means ‘near the big river’ and is home to some wonderful opportunities for cultural explorations and exciting adventures.
Not known for its architecture, Myitkyina is only home to handful of pagodas and temples. A must see being the Hsu Taung Pye Zedi Daw Pagoda. Despite its lack of religious sites, this small, timber town is best known for hosting two of Myanmar’s most notable festivals, the Manao Festival and the Lisu New Year. What Myitkyina lacks in impressive architecture, it makes up for in rich, cultural offerings. One of Myanmar’s most multi cultural and ethnically diverse regions, Myitkina promises an enriching and educational visit to any visitors who pass through. Welcoming locals in this largely Christian town come together from a mixture of Kachin, Lisu, Chinese and Burmese backgrounds.
Don’t miss the daily local markets at dawn where you can take the opportunity to mix with locals and immerse yourself in everyday life here. Purchase fresh, locally grown produce and sample local cuisine. When the heat of the town gets too much, Indawgyi Lake can provide the perfect respite. The biggest lake in Myanmar, Indawgyi holds mystical stories of a long lost ancient city that lies beneath.
Myitkyina is the perfect hub in which to explore Myit-Son, the beautiful site where the Mayhka and Malikha Rivers collide, and of course, the incredible Putao.
The tiny, adventure laden town of Putao sits proudly in the foothills of the Himalayas and offers endless exciting opportunities for adventure and serenity seekers alike to experience Myanmar in a way like no other. From hiking, to mountaineering and even white water rafting, this stunning mountainous town is the place to let your imagination run wild.
Well known for its rich culture, Myitkyina is best enjoyed around festival times. The Manao Festival is held annually around the 10th day of January. During the Manao Festival, all six of the Kachin tribes come together to eat, socialize and dance around totem poles. Another interesting and fun festival to be a part of is held annually at the end of January. The Lisu New Year sees the Lisu people dressed in traditional dress and taking part in a variety of mind boggling, long-established acts such as walking over knives.
No visit to Myitkyina is complete without a visit to the impressive Indawgyi Lake. The idyllic lake is Myanmar’s largest and holds many mystical stories that make it sacred to the local communities. It is widely believed that underneath the lake lies the remains of an ancient, long lost city. It is said that the city was once flooded by a dragon, and that his shadow can still be spotted circling the lake by those who look closely.
The lake makes for a wonderful morning or afternoon trip from the town and visitors often enjoy hikes up the golden mountain or around the lake. You can even sit back, relax and enjoy a relaxing boat ride to Shwe Myitzu Pagoda. There are a number of small, local eateries in the vicinity, all serving up fresh Shan coffee.
If you’re an early riser then you’re bound to be rewarded by the dawn markets held daily in Myitkyina. Not only are they the perfect place to indulge in local produce arriving by canoe, but they also offer magnificent scenes of the stunning river at sunrise and endless photo opportunities.
This local beauty spot is a favourite for hikers and picnickers and marks the place where the Mayhka and Malikha Rivers collide and become the famous Ayeyarwady River. Located 25 miles out of town and home to a traditional long house, striking pagoda and many local teahouses, Myit-Son makes for a refreshing and tranquil afternoon get away.
Hsu Taung Pye Zedi Daw Pagoda
Sitting proudly on the banks of the Ayeyarwady River, the Hsu Taung Pye Zedi Daw Pagoda is the region’s most sacred and most dazzling of religious sites. Interestingly, both the pagoda and its enormous 98 foot long reclining Buddha statue were funded by a Japanese soldier who served in the area during World War II.
By far one of the most exciting towns in the region, Putao is located in the very north of Myanmar and although, can be accessed by long, dangerous roads in the summer, it is most frequently only accessed by air. Beautifully nestled into the foothills of the Himalayas, it is not hard to see why this scenic town has grown in popularity and earnt itself a place on Myanmar’s tourist radar over recent years.
Most famous for its vast opportunities for outdoor adventures such as trekking, climbing, kayaking and white water rafting, Putao truly offers visitors the opportunity to experience a unique side of Myanmar. Littered with flora and fauna, most commonly orchids and home to a vast array of rare bird species, Putao is the perfect place for nature lovers to revel in Myanmar’s breath taking countryside.
Food and Drink
Food in Kachin State perfectly reflects the regions rich culture. Fresh fruit, rice and meat play a big part in daily diet and steamed river fish, cooked in Kachin spices, tomato and wrapped in banana leaf is in abundance. Be sure to sample the local sweet rice wine made by boiling together sugar, milk and sticky rice.

WASHINGTON DC —
The Combined Harare Residents Association (CHRA) says conflicting statements by city fathers and government officials over pending illegal structure demolitions has confused many residents in the capital city.
CHRA chairman Simbarashe Moyo said the council should clearly spell out its intentions to avoid more confusion and chaos.
"We are actually worried by what is coming out (in the press), the position that we are hearing, positions coming from the City of Harare and also what is coming from the ministry of Local Government.
"The City of Harare is actually saying that they haven't met to decide as a full council to demolish illegal structures and so forth while the ministry is maintaining that they are going to move ahead after their fact-finding mission," Moyo said.
Town Clerk Tendai Mahachi told the state-controlled Herald newspaper that council has “parked” the plan to demolish illegal structures for engagement purposes, giving residents a two-month reprieve to negotiate the way forward before demolitions begin.
But Harare Mayor Bernard Manyenyeni told VOA Studio 7 his council does not have plans to destroy illegal structures.
The Ministry of Local Government is meanwhile carrying out some form of audit in cities and towns targeted for illegal structure demolitions.

‘Misplaced’ traffic road enforcement
At the car park entrance at Melvin Jones grandstand in Burnham Park, there is a “no parking, no waiting” sign.
In the morning of Jan. 18, three cars were waiting to enter the car park. They broke the rule and a mobile traffic officer issued them a citation ticket for the violation.
Earlier, I was at the intersection of Mabini Street and Session Road where the intersection is “boxed,” which means it is to be kept clear and vehicles must not enter that “box” if they cannot clear it even if the traffic light is in their favor.
As a result, a long line of vehicles ensued along Mabini Street because the intersection was blocked by vehicles along Session Road.
This is where that enthusiastic mobile traffic officer should have issued citation tickets to give violators a lesson. — PETER CHONG, Baguio City

In detail, the National Security Letter enables the FBI to demand the names, screen names, addresses, email header information, and other sensitive information held by Internet Service Providers and other businesses, the disclosure of which violates a tradition of anonymous speech that goes back to the Federalist Papers, the ACLU claims.
“The National Security Letter provision allows the FBI to demand the sensitive records of innocent people in complete secrecy, without ever appearing before a federal judge,” said Jameel Jaffer, an ACLU staff attorney.
The National Security Letter is a "gag" provision of the Patriot Act, which has not been disclosed to the public at large or to other non-governmental agencies and businesses.
According to the ACLU, the National Security Letter provision violates the First and Fourth Amendments because it gives the feds carte blanche to circumvent judicial approval or even demonstrate a reason to acquire the information in the first place.
Prior to the enactment of the Patriot Act in 2001 after the Sept. 11 attacks, the FBI and other agencies could only us "invasive" authority in cases that involved confirmed suspected terrorists and spies. But with enforcement from the National Security Letter, the FBI can obtain information about anyone with no reason or recourse, says the ACLU.
The ACLU filed legal papers in the Southern District of New York on April 6, but was forced to file under seal to avoid being penalized for violating the gag provision of the Act.
Nearly a month later, parts of the case can be disclosed to the public, whereas some aspects of the lawsuit are still being sealed, further leading the ACLU to think that the Letter violates the constitution.
Defendants in the lawsuit include Attorney General John Ashcroft and FBI Director Robert Mueller. The case is assigned to Judge Victor Marrero.
“It is remarkable that a gag provision in the Patriot Act kept the public in the dark about the mere fact that a constitutional challenge had been filed in court,” said Ann Beeson, ACLU Associate Legal Director. “President Bush can talk about extending the life of the Patriot Act, but the ACLU is still gagged from discussing details of our challenge to it.”
The ACLU is scheduled to file a summary judgment motion on May 17, 2004. The government will respond on June 7, 2004, and according to the ACLU, all briefing will be completed in July 2004.
The court is expected to schedule arguments in the case in late summer 2004.
The ACLU has consistently challenged many aspects of the Patriot Act since its inception. Many other efforts are afoot nationwide to overturn the Act, which is slated to expire on Dec. 31, 2005.
Just over a dozen key provisions of the Patriot Act are set to expire, however, many portions have no expiration date and will continue to enforce government-related investigations indefinitely.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Monday wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi that she was “shocked and stunned” by the “unilateral order” asking Bengal Chief Secretary Alapan Bandyopadhyay to report to the Centre.
The Centre had ordered Bandyopadhyay to move to Delhi after a row over Mamata Banerjee not attending a meeting with PM Modi on Friday.
In a long letter to the Prime Minister, Mamata wrote “The government of Bengal cannot release, and is not releasing, its Chief Secretary at this critical hour, on the basis of our understanding that the earlier order of extension, issued after lawful consultation in accordance with applicable laws, remains operational and valid.”
Chief Secretary Bandyopadhyay was to report to Delhi at 10 am today. But the Chief Minister made it clear in the letter that he will stay and continue to manage her state’s Covid crisis.
His recall order came hours after Mamata Banerjee skipped a Cyclone Yaas review meeting with PM Modi, preferring to meet him briefly at the Kalaikunda airbase in Bengal after his helicopter landed before leaving for another meeting.
This order is “legally untenable, historically unprecedented and wholly unconstitutional,” Banerjee said, referring to a recent central order that had extended Bandyopadhyay’s term in Bengal by three months on account of the Covid surge in the state.
“Does it have anything to do with our meeting at Kalaikunda,” she asked point-blank, adding that she “sincerely hoped” that was not the case as it would be “sad, unfortunate and would amount to sacrificing public interest at the altar of misplaced priorities.”

Real Property In A Community Property State
Nevada’s community property laws apply to all property acquired during a marriage, but some couples have no idea that real property may be addressed by the same laws as their personal items. If you own property with your soon-to-be ex-spouse, you may need to consult an attorney as to how to handle its division and disposition.
Separate vs. Community Property
Nevada law holds that any property purchased or maintained during the marriage or with community funds (for example, both spouses’ paychecks would count as community funds) qualifies as community property. If you, for example, own a home before your marriage, and do not improve it with community funds, that home will likely remain your separate property after divorce. However, if you and your spouse buy a piece of land together, it will often be considered as either community property or joint tenancy. Joint tenancy is a mechanism by which the property is held so that it is automatically transferred entirely to one spouse if the other passes away. Although joint property is divided under its own statutes, from a practical standpoint the division is effectively the same as other community property.
Sometimes, though, these issues can be complex. For instance, when real property has been purchased before the marriage, such as a vacation home or plot of undeveloped land, but then augmented or improved during the marriage, using community funds. It can be difficult to determine whether the land is separate or community property. In such cases, Nevada law recognizes what is called the right to reimbursement – often, the real property will be granted to the owner, and then that spouse will reimburse the community for the other half of the property (that is, the ex-spouse’s half interest).
The Marital Home
While any piece of property will be subject to these laws, there are often additional hurdles before disposing of your marital home. In addition to determining who gets possession of the home, the equity must be divided. There are generally two possible outcomes in determining how equity can be divided – (1) the home can be sold and the proceeds divided; or (2) one person will remain in the home and have it refinanced, so that they can ‘buy out’ the other. The equity will be divided regardless, so that each spouse gets a fair share, even if it requires reimbursement to achieve this.
Seek Experienced Legal Help
Real property may seem to be a special and unique type of asset, but in reality, it follows basically the same rules as any other asset would in a community property system. If you still have questions, speaking to a Las Vegas divorce attorney to get them resolved is highly recommended. The Kainen Law Group has handled these types of cases for years, and is ready to assist you with yours. Contact our office today to schedule an appointment.

What’s on your mind?
The Hollywood Reporter’s Marisa Guthrie writes about Andrew Lack getting his feet wet at 30 Rock…
MSNBC insiders expect the programming revamp that began with the axing of daytime shows hosted by Ronan Farrow and Joy Reid to continue. There is widespread speculation that Al Sharpton’s show could be moved to a weekend slot as the network led by Phil Griffin hews toward news programming during daytime. The fate of 8 p.m. host Chris Hayes, a protege of Rachel Maddow, is unclear. “Contrary to rumors that already have been reported, there are no plans to move Rev. Sharpton’s or Chris Hayes’ shows,” says an MSNBC spokesperson.
MSNBC has been on a ratings slide for months; in February, it was down 48 percent in primetime in the 25-to-54 demo and 43 percent in total day compared with the same month last year, when MSNBC hosts, notably Maddow, were hammering New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie over the so-called Bridgegate scandal.
Lack, who in his previous stint at NBC presided over the partnership with Microsoft that created MSNBC, is expected to more closely integrate NBC News and MSNBC, a reversal of the strategy advocated by NBC News president Deborah Turness that drew a stark line between the units.
During a Now w/ Alex Wagner conversation about GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz‘s statement that he became a country music fan directly after 9/11, guest Jamilah Lemieux opened up the conversation with this remark: “Nothing says ‘Let’s go kill some Muslims’ like country music, fresh from Lynchburg, Virginia. Someone who obviously does not want to be a polarizing candidate, he wants to bring people together, I mean — really? That’s absurd.”
While co-panelists Joan Walsh and Michael Steele could be heard laughing at Lemieux’s remark, guest-host Melber responded: “Well, I mean there’s plenty of country music that doesn’t have that message, right?”
A few segments later, Melber appeared on-air with an apology: “We have a programming note. A few minutes ago on this show, a guest made a comment about country music. That comment was not appropriate, and we want to be clear this network does not condone it.”

The one-hour special, sponsored by Ford Motor Company, will be hosted by MSNBC National Correspondent Joy Reid live from the #YesWeCode Hackathon at the Ford STEAM Lab in Detroit, Michigan.
Featured guests include U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Stephen Henderson, Detroit Free Press Editorial Page Editor and co-host of “Detroit Today,” and Van Jones, founder of #YesWeCode. Reid will also look at Sisters Code, a Detroit organization that teaches women of all ages how to code and succeed in science, technology, engineering and math industries.
Additionally, Reid will speak with Hackathon participants and serve as one of the competition’s judges. #YesWeCode’s Detroit Hackathon will provide 100 Detroit middle school students training and computer programming skills to pave the way for high-tech education and careers. Students will present a final project and the concepts they learned to a panel of judges.
“I witnessed firsthand at last year’s My Brother’s Keeper Hackathon that teaching our youth the value of coding enables creativity,” said Reid. “I’m thrilled to be a guest judge to support the students of this city and the #YesWeCode program, which is essential to fostering diversity in the tech industry.”
Launched last year, Ford STEAM Lab is an educational program from the Ford Motor Company Fund designed to spark student passion for technology entrepreneurship and careers in STEM fields.
NEW CNN ORIGINAL SERIES HIGH PROFITS PREMIERES SUNDAY, APRIL 19
The CWA put out a release noting that CNN lost its latest NLRB appeal on a very old case…
NLRB Throws Out CNN’s Joint Employer Challenge
Washington, DC – The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has rejected CNN’s reconsideration motion, which challenged the ruling that the cable news giant and a unionized subcontractor Team Video Services (TVS) were joint employers.
At issue is last September’s NLRB decision ordering CNN to compensate more than 300 employees who lost jobs and wages following the company’s phony reorganization to get rid of NABET-CWA-represented workers in Washington, D.C., and New York City. The NLRB had found that CNN and TVS were joint employers and CNN violated U.S. labor law by terminating its contracting relationship with TVS in December 2003.
In the order issued on Friday, a three-member panel said CNN’s reconsideration bid, “failed to raise any substantial argument not previously considered by the Board.” They wrote, “the evidence provides ample support for the Board’s finding that CNN and TVS had a joint employer relationship at the time of the unfair labor practices.”
“This company has dragged its feet every step of the way. But after more than a decade of delays, CNN is finally running out of options,” said CWA President Larry Cohen. “It’s time for CNN to follow the law and end the enormous damage to these employees and their families.”
Meanwhile, the workers continue to wait. A number of their colleagues have passed away as this case slowly made its way through the NLRB process. Workers have lost their homes, gone bankrupt and struggled to pay their medical bills.
“No worker should ever have to wait this long to see justice. Now again, we wait to see if CNN owns up or continues to stall. As a group we will never give up until all our members are made whole,” said Jimmy Suissa, who worked for CNN for 17 years.
In November 2008, an Administration Law Judge (ALJ) ruled in favor of NABET-CWA. The ALJ found, in part, that CNN had engaged in “widespread and egregious misconduct” and had demonstrated “a flagrant and general disregard for the employees’ fundamental rights.”
Yet, CNN appealed the ruling. Two years later, in October 2010, CWA filed another motion with the NLRB, calling on the board to give this case priority over all other pending cases. By this time the NLRB’s status was in jeopardy and was not resolved until late 2013.
Finally in September 2014, the NLRB affirmed the ALJ’s ruling. It ordered CNN to rehire about 100 workers fired in the 2003 reorganization and compensate about 200 more employees who stayed with the company without the benefits of a union contract. The order also called on CNN to resume bargaining with NABET-CWA Local 11 and NABET-CWA Local 31.

The Weather Company Expands Marketing and Communications Group, Appoints David Jaye as Chief Marketing Officer
Maureen Marshall Also Promoted to Vice President of Communications
Atlanta, GA – March 23, 2015 – The Weather Company has expanded its marketing and communications group, appointing David Jaye as chief marketing officer and elevating Maureen Marshall to vice president of communications. Jaye joins Weather from Google and will spearhead the marketing, creative and social media efforts for The Weather Channel® and Weather Underground brands across all platforms. Marshall will lead the communications efforts for the marketing and communications group, supporting cross-functional efforts for the company. Both Jaye and Marshall will report to Shirley Powell, executive vice president of marketing and communications.
“I’m thrilled to have a terrific leader like David join the company,” said Powell. “His strong digital marketing experience and passion for marketing will be a great asset and help strategically position Weather to show just how ‘It’s Amazing Out There’ across all of our brands.”


HEG conducted a rapid review of the evidence in relation to physical activity, green space and health.
Green space has for many decades been linked to both social and health benefits for those that access it.
This assumption is now supported by a growing body of robust research, which identifies that high quality green space brings considerable benefits to the local economy, to the environment and to people’s physical and mental health in particular in terms of reducing obesity, decreasing the risk of coronary heart disease and strokes and improvements in mental health and wellbeing. Research has shown that residents in high 'greenery' environments were 40% less likely to be overweight and obese as those in the lowest greenery category. The Faculty of Public Health, in their recent publication Great Outdoors (2010), note that ‘Safe, green spaces may be as effective as prescription drugs in treating some forms of mental illnesses’.
In terms of public health, green space is most commonly associated with physical activity and mental health and wellbeing. Current evidence suggests that individuals could derive health benefits by engaging in as little as 150 minutes of moderate exercise weekly for adults and 1 hour a day for children and young people (DH2011). However physical activity levels have declined over recent decades and reversing this decline could confer considerable population health benefits. The UK government set targets to increase levels of participation in physical activity and sport including measures for providing cleaner, safer and greener public spaces. (DCMS 2002) and the Marmot Review (2010) stressed the importance of creating more good quality open space where it is lacking to help tackle health inequalities.
Public parks account for one-third of all the public green space and 90% of peoples green space use. If an area has high quality parks, it is likely that more residents will use them more often; people are more satisfied with their neighbourhood and are more likely to report better health. However there are stark differences in the provision and accessibility of green space based on socio economic status and ethnicity. Provision of green space is worse in deprived areas than in affluent areas.
This review examines the evidence base relating to green space and health and green space and physical activity levels. The review finds that there are considerable inconsistencies and contradictions in the findings of research in these areas. However, on balance of the evidence considered within this review clearly indicates a positive association between access to high quality green space and health and access to high quality green space and physical activity.

Welcome back ya’ll!
We’re super stoked here at Skiboards Superstore anticipating the winter season right around the corner! Our local area Wolf Creek is already open ~ whoop whoop! Who’s with us on the excitement to get out and play in the snow this year? I think we could ALL use that FLOW STATE to get into that place of pure sweet bliss & joy that getting on our skiboards ripping through powdery snow brings to our hearts and souls!
2020 – The Year of Awakening
Transformation on all levels; Life, Love, Politics & Adventure
If you’re like us, and so many others I know right now, we are all in, or coming out of, a period of transition (whether it’s something we’re consciously choosing or not – thank you Covid-19, political uprise & racial ).
This could be transition in one area of your life (like your business or career) or it could be in one or two areas, or like us, in ALL areas of your life…
Career/Business, Relationships, Friendships, Community, Health, Money, Spirituality….
When we’re in a place of transition, oftentimes we end up in what I call “The Abyss.”
The Abyss isn’t pretty, yet it’s what so many of us are experiencing right now. And it’s actually the sweet spot offered to us to WAKE UP, question our reality, and pivot, shift, or revamp what isn’t working and to awaken to our true life purpose and path.
The beauty of being in The Abyss is that THIS is the place where profound growth, change and transformation takes place. The trick of this place though is getting comfortable, with being uncomfortable.
The way we’ve been living is falling away, crumbling for many. We are dismantling one or more areas of our lives. But the NEW way of living, the NEW way of being or the NEW life that we are stepping into, has yet to come to full fruition.
So we end up in a space of darkness. Of emptiness. The unknown, and uncertainty. We know what was… will no longer be… but we don’t know yet what is to come. You’re stepping from a place of known into a place of unknown.
You’re stepping into The Abyss…
This can feel exciting and terrifying all at once!
The Abyss is an awfully uncomfortable (sometimes incredibly painful) place to be, and I know we can all resist the s*&% out of it most of the time, which always intensifies the feelings and usually makes things worse.
Personally, it feels almost as though living in a cocoon and being on the verge of coming forth into the world; as a bright beautiful butterfly having undergone a massive transformation.
If you are in The Abyss, here are 4 tips on how to handle it when you’re IN IT!
1. SURRENDER: Get comfortable with being UNcomfortable (that’s the sweet spot for growth & transformation!)
2. TAP INTO A HIGHER POWER; whatever higher strength, energy, spirit or God you believe in ~ call on it! Trust in the divine, trust in life, and trust that if you take the leap, the next WILL appear!
3. DEVELOP A MORNING MINDSET PRACTICE. (Powerful Mindset + Gratitude) YOU are a conscious creator. If thoughts create feelings, and feelings create your reality, YOU can control how you feel and grab the reigns of your mind & your life! Combine a powerful mindset with an intentional gratitude practice and watch out…. your life WILL change. It’s a process that will unfold right before your very eyes!
4. DO SOMETHING THAT PUTS YOU IN THE FLOW STATE EVERY DAMN DAY!
The flow state is the mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is FULLY immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity. So that means doing MORE of what you love, what brings you joy and helps you forget your worries like pulling out your skiboards and getting them waxed up and ready for the upcoming season!
Look, we’re right here with you, still in and starting to come out of our own cocoon of transformation from the catalyst of COVID. We are truly ALL in this time together!
Sending so much love to you all, you’ve got this, hang in there, and feel free to drop us a line sharing which area of your life is in transition right now. We’re here for you for all of your adventure and transformational needs!
HUGE love and light to you all,

An ironing aid
How much agitation does a badly ironed shirt create, having to pass the iron again and again on the same shirt to get it perfect, realising that sometimes there are yellow marks because you left the iron on the shirt too long on in an attempt to eliminate a crease? Definitely, a good iron and some skill in ironing helps in reducing time and effort, but insufficient to optimise the work and energy spent to get an excellent result!
We often overlook the importance of the base on which items to be ironed are placed and especially the cloth that covers the ironing board. In reality, this is not a negligible detail since an ironing board cover that allows you to optimize the heat from the iron, sliding the iron over the garment with ease while keeping the fabric perfectly flat, and which can withstand high temperatures, is critical for perfect ironing. Details that make the difference, a difference you can see and feel after just one hour of ironing!
Arix offers an assorted range of ironing board covers to meet every ironing need, even professional: an ironing board cover with towelling support, ironing board covers with felt, ironing board covers in metallic fabric treated with anti-crumbling resins and without asbestos or solvents, and many others.
The Stirokay Oplà ironing board cover is particularly suitable when you need to iron many cotton garments and use high temperatures to get perfect and quick ironing. The fastening system of the cover on the ironing board with a blocking clip is designed to make sure that the cover adheres perfectly to the flat surface, without folds or wrinkles, to allow for smooth and fast ironing.
Stirokay Silver is the ironing board cover in cotton, treated with aluminium and laminated with polyester sponge, ideal for those who want quick and perfect ironing. The aluminium coating reflects and spreads the heat evenly, favouring good fast ironing. The uniform diffusion of heat means reducing ironing time and the presence of microholes in the cover allows rapid vapour circulation.
For ironing delicate garments, Arix recommends Stirokay Net, the practical mesh ironing cloth that protects delicate fabrics and does not create an unsightly shine.
The transparent mesh weave of the Net ironing cloth means you can constantly control the condition of garments during ironing and protects the garment from excessive heat, which causes the "shine" effect. The Net ironing cloth is especially suitable for delicate garments such as silk, velvet and even tracksuits and nylon clothing.
For anyone using a lot of steam, therefore a professional iron, Arix recommends Stirokay Energy the ironing board cover, which has an aluminium insert that optimizes heat for a uniform diffusion over the entire surface, which favours perfect, easy ironing.
Energy is the ironing board cover in cotton joined to a double layer of towelling containing a thin aluminium film that reflects and radiates heat evenly without dispersion and cold areas. This allows you to iron more quickly and have a garment ironed perfectly. The double layer of towelling also means full absorption of excess steam ensuring high resistance to high temperatures.

Covered with powdered sugar and with hints of cocoa flavor, these Vegan Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies are a joy to make and have especially when they are freshly out of the oven. They have a crispy edge and soft center, the best of both worlds.
Whenever my mom would head out to Chinatown with some of my aunts and grandmother, sometimes I wouldn’t tag along because I want to spend time alone in the kitchen.
It was my own time to experiment with baking, although it was more of baking out of cookie or cake mixes. I would clear the small countertop we had and take out all the ingredients along with the mixing bowls my mom kept away in the cabinet. I would follow the directions in the package. When it was time to take the flour out, I would dramatically pour it into the bowl, enjoying seeing the flour dust in the air. I would scoop some up and continue to play around with it, savoring the feeling of the flour in my hand, soft to touch and almost fairy-like.
If my mother was home, I would definitely have not played with the flour knowing she would yell at me for making a mess, but oftentimes, our most beautiful memories come when we’re having fun and making memories for ourselves that we can remember years and years later. No matter how busy your day or this week has been, I hope you can do something fun for yourself that you will remember.
What is one of your favorite memories in the kitchen?
Now that I learned how to make cookies without a mix, I love making all kinds of cookies from scratch at home. They always always taste so much better than store-bought ones and when they are warm.
Here is an overview of these Vegan Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies!
Flour: You can make these cookies gluten-free with 1:1 gluten-free flour, substituting it with the same weight..
Sugar: To make it refined sugar-free you can use coconut sugar and leave out the powdered sugar but I highly recommend keeping the powdered sugar as it makes these cookies more appealing!
Vegan Butter: I like to use unsalted, vegan butter to better control the saltness level of the cookies. If you do not have unsalted, vegan butter you can just omit the salt in the cookie dough! I would not recommend substituting the butter with coconut oil though.
Cocoa Powder: The cocoa powder gives the cookies an extra depth of flavor. If you can, try to get a quality cocoa powder brand such as Valhrona.
Can I make these Vegan Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies gluten-free?
Yes! Substitute the regular flour with an equal amount of gluten-free flour.
How do I store these cookies?
If you have any leftovers, store the cookies in an airtight container. You can also freeze them by letting the cookies cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container and placing it in your freezer. When you want to eat them, simply let them thaw at room temperature.
Can I make these cookies refined sugar-free?
Yes! You can substitute the sugars with coconut sugar instead!
How do I know when these cookies are done?
The edges will look crisp but the middle should be slightly soft. The edges will be lightly golden in color. After you take them out from the oven, allow the cookies to cool before lifting them to allow the cookies to set and prevent them from breaking apart.
If you like these Vegan Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies, you might also like to try:

Israeli leader faces test in US case accusing Bank of China of facilitating militant funding

“It's Time to Defeat Terrorism ”
Since: May 11
#1 Nov 12, 2013
Clearly, unlike the deceitful and pathetic liar Obama who zigzag about supporting the Iranian regime sponsored suicide bombing terrorists of Hamas, Israel is fighting the Mozlem Brother terrorists by all means even if they are financed by the Bank of China. The culture of the Mozlem Brother scholar Obama and his pro-Iranian regime of lying and apologizing as in the Obamacare scam is limited to the American culture but not to Israeli leadership culture which it will never be.

Android One is the Pure Stock Android version developed by Google that can be run on some of the specific Android smartphones and can’t be customized by smartphone OEMs. By partnering with Google, some of the brands are offering Android One powered devices (mostly budget devices). It ensures the two major Android updates and three years of security patch updates. Moto One is one of them and it’s expected that the Motorola Moto One Android 10 update is imminent.
Recently, the latest February 2020 Patch for Moto One has been started rolling out which indicates that there are few more days left to receive the official Android 10 update. However, due to the Android One support, all the Moto One users are assured that they will gonna receive the Android Q update this year. Meanwhile, the Motorola Brazil has revealed on Twitter that in the coming few days Motorola One should start receiving Android 10.
Again one of the interested Moto One 2018 users has asked that whether the device will receive the Android 10 update or not. And this time Motorola Brazil has tweeted another positive reply that the Moto One Android 10 update is already being cooked and on its way. Though, it can be either a stable release or a soak testing for the beta testers in order to provide more stability and bug-free experience. Make sure to check software updates from the device Settings > System > Advanced > System Updates.
To recall, the Motorola One also known as Motorola P30 Play in China. It came with 5.9-inches LCD HD+ display, Android 8.1 Oreo over Android One program. Currently, the handset is running on Android 9.0 Pie. The device has Snapdragon 625 SoC, Adreno 506 GPU, 4GB of RAM, 64GB internal storage, dual 13MP+2MP rear cameras, an 8MP selfie camera, a 3000mAh battery with 15W fast charging. It also includes all the major sensors and useful connectivity options.
