TALK DRINKS: The 36 Rules of Social Media (By Fast Company ...

The September 2012 issue of Fast Company features a series of articles relating to Social Media. Also known as the ?Social Media Roadmap? this series is a great resource for both content creators and content absorbers. One feature in particular, dubbed ?The 36 Rules of Social Media? gives readers just that, 36 digital tips to live by, written by various Founders, Presidents, CMOs, Authors and Heads of Social Media (among others). The tips are listed below, along with my personal comments on the ones that particularly relate to Wine & Spirits Industry.

1. If all you do is respond to complaints, that's all people will send you.?
2. Stop & Ask; Would an actual person talk this way?
   • A key component to engaging content is the manner in which it is spoken. Posts by the Wine & Spirits crowd often target both consumers and industry professionals - it is important for both of these to feel like they are being spoken with (not to).
3. Everyone says they don't want to be marketed to. Really, they just don't want to be talked down to.
   • Exactly - as previously mentioned, speak WITH/ not TO? the audience in your posts.
4. The consumer is out for himself, not for you.
5. As monetization attempts go up, consumer experience goes down.
6. Don't try to be clever. Be clever.
7. Social is 24/7 not a one-time stunt.
   • As the old saying goes "If you can't do it well. Don't do it at all". Once you publicize your company's Facebook or Twitter account, users expect them to be active. If the account is collecting dust - shut it down. To avoid mishaps such as the potential frustration of a customer who posts about drinking your wine and never receives a response.
8. Always write back
   • Building on the previous tip - ALWAYS WRITE BACK. Social media is just that, SOCIAL - if a user is taking his/her time out to applaud or diss your product it is of utmost importance to publicly respond. Showing the social universe you are there,present and amongst them, eventually results with brand loyalty and down the road, $ spent.
9. Have an ROI. Have an ROI. Have an ROI.
10. People would rather talk to "Comcast Melissa" than "Comcast".
11. Solve problems for people who talk about you, even if they don't address you.
    • Especially vital for brands out there with limited distribution. It is a fact of social media life that many user posts express their negative thoughts and frustrations. Posts and tweets like "Can't figure out which wine to pair with my beef goulash" or "I would so love some XYZ tequila right now but have no idea where to find it" are your company's chance to shine. Be aware of on-line chatter beyond just that mentioning your brand. There are many social monitoring tools out there to assist in this.
12. Not everything will work, and that's fine.
13. Embrace negative content about your brand.
    • Sometimes the best comment is a negative one. It opens up the conversation to two things: 1- Your chance to directly address the concern of the commenter. 2- Your loyal fans to answer on your behalf.
14. Everyone's an influencer.
15. If fans distribute your content without permission, offer to help.
16. It's okay to drive people to your site instead of Facebook's.
17. Update your page - or delete it.
18. Don't make people do X,Y, then Z. Stick with X.
19. Last year: Pump out content. This year: Optimize content.
20. Become BFFs with your Facebook reps.
21. Social Media doesn't exist in a vacuum. Make traditional media and social media work together.
    • When developing your Social Media strategy it is important to, just like wine and food, pair it with the right traditional marketing mix. One is not better or a replacement of the other. The best campaigns work in sync - driving people offline to interact on-line and vice versa.
22. Desktop is conquered territory. Mobile is the battlefield.
23. If you don't see financial results, you wasted your money.
24. People fights for their privacy.
25. The only way to scale word of mouth: paid advertising.
26. Have a crisis plan.
27. Don't use ads to prop up boring content. Use ads to accelerate successful content.
28. Forget individuals. You're creating content that encourages groups to form.
29. People don't want to shop where they socialize.
30. Contests and sweepstakes are fine. If you want to encourage short relationships.
31. People care what you had for breakfast - if you're a food brand.
    • It may seem obvious, but this little gem is often overlooked. You are a vodka - do not post about your mother's favorite Elvis Presley song unless it relates. Your online fans are bombarded with literally 1,000s of pieces of information daily. Make sure ALL of your relates to your brand - do not waste your (or their) time.
32. Pinterest works.
33. Your fans own your brand.
34. If you're bored by Social Media, it's because you're trying to get more value then you create.
35. Think past vanity metrics like followers.
36. It's an organism, not a process.

Twin typhoons raise fears in disaster-prone NKorea

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) ? Twin typhoons are renewing fears of a humanitarian crisis in North Korea, where poor drainage, widespread deforestation and crumbling infrastructure can turn even a routine rainstorm into a catastrophic flood.

Typhoon Bolaven struck the North on Tuesday and Wednesday, submerging houses and roads, ruining thousands of acres of crops and triggering landslides that buried train tracks ? scenes that are all too familiar in this disaster-prone nation. A second major storm, Typhoon Tembin, is forecast to dump more rain on the Korean Peninsula on Thursday and Friday.

The storms come as North Korea is still recovering from earlier floods that killed more than 170 people and destroyed thousands of homes. That in turn followed a springtime drought that was the worst in a century in some areas.

Foreign aid groups contacted Thursday said they are standing by in Pyongyang, but had not received requests for help from the North Korean government. They had little information on the extent of damage and were relying on reports from state media. The country's wariness toward the outside world, as well as a primitive rural road system, means aid may be slow arriving, if it is allowed to come at all.

"These fresh storms, coming just a few weeks after the serious flooding ? they do raise concerns because we see parts of the countryside battered again that have already been left in a vulnerable state," said Francis Markus, spokesman for the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in East Asia.

Heavy rains that could be little more than an inconvenience elsewhere can be calamitous in North Korea.

Downpours trigger landslides that barrel down the country's deforested mountains and valleys. For decades, rural people have felled trees because they have no other source of fuel or warmth, leaving the landscape barren and heavily eroded. Rivers overflow, submerging crops, inundating roads and engulfing hamlets.

Since June, tens of thousands have been left without clean water, electricity and access to food and other supplies. That leads to a risk of water-borne and respiratory diseases and malnutrition, aid workers say.

Because the North annually struggles to produce enough food from its rocky, mountainous landscape to feed its 24 million people, a poorly timed natural disaster can easily tip the country into crisis, like the famine in the 1990s that followed a similar succession of devastating storms.

A North Korean land management official acknowledged in an interview with The Associated Press that widespread deforestation and a lack of basic infrastructure have made the country vulnerable to the typhoons and storms that batter the peninsula each year.

"It's important for the future of our children to make our country rich and beautiful," Ri Song Il, director of external affairs for the Ministry of Land and Environmental Protection, said in June.

He said a campaign is under way to replenish forests, build highways and construct proper irrigation at the order of North Korea's new leader, Kim Jong Un. He held up a green pamphlet on land management that was the first official document Kim published after taking power from his father.

But it may be too little, too late, for this year's summer rains.

In Pyongyang, North Korea's showcase capital of grand monuments and broad boulevards, the rains have been little more than a nuisance for residents tromping about in rubber boots and umbrellas.

Outside the capital, it's a different story.

In villages without the luxury of paved roads, summer downpours have sliced through roadways and washed away bridges, all but cutting off already isolated communities from supplies, food and help.

Two weeks ago, AP journalists visited a flood-ravaged mining hamlet in South Phyongan province where gushing waters from an earlier storm swallowed a whole block of homes. The trip, a mere 40-mile (60-kilometer) drive northeast of Pyongyang, required a bumpy four-hour ride along rutted, muddy roads.

Along the way, workers piled stones along the roadside as a bulwark against landslides, but they were no match for the water rushing down mountainsides.

Villagers crouched in makeshift lean-tos and camped on the rubble where their houses once stood. They vowed to rebuild once the roads are restored and trucks can cart in cement. But there are concerns about how vulnerable their new homes would be if they rebuild at the foot of a mountain in the county of Songchon, which means "place where many waters come together."

North Korea has no clear long-term strategy to deal with disasters or climate change, the United Nations said in a report issued in June.

This year, North Korea is at a particularly dangerous juncture, said the Red Cross' Markus. Over the last two years, he said, "we've been seeing a gradual deterioration in the humanitarian situation."

The Red Cross works with villagers to prepare evacuation plans and other ways to protect themselves, their homes and their farmland in the event of a disaster, he said.

But severe weather remains an omnipresent threat, and poor infrastructure and massive deforestation are "a major factor in exacerbating these weather events," he said. "There's no doubt that the vulnerabilities in the countryside are considerable."

Genesys research finds big business still uneasy with Customer ...

Aug 30, 2012 ? Research conducted by Genesys, an expert in customer experience solutions, found that many consumer-facing Fortune 500 companies shy away from listing social media as a means for customers to contact them. More than half (55 percent) of consumer-facing Fortune 500 businesses do not provide their Twitter handles on the ?Contact Us? page of their websites. Additionally, despite the fact that Facebook has 900 million users across the world; half of these businesses (51 percent) do not provide a link to their Facebook profile on the ?Contact Us? page.

The research also uncovered that corporations suffer from e-mail aversion, with nine out of ten failing to list an e-mail address on their contact page. Instead, 83 percent of companies include a contact form, often off-putting to consumers and seen as a ?black-hole.?

• More than half of consumer-facing Fortune 500 Corporations suffer from social shyness with 55 percent of consumer facing corporations failing to list a Twitter handle on their ?Contact Us? page, and 51 percent failing to list a Facebook page.
• 27 percent of consumer-facing Fortune 500 corporations do not list social media channels on their website homepage.
• 89 percent of those same companies do not list an e-mail address on their site.
• 13 percent of companies do not list a phone number on their ?Contact Us? page.

The findings are based on Genesys analysis of consumer-facing Fortune 500 companies? websites. Consumer-facing company websites were defined as those which a consumer would visit to obtain answers or assistance regarding a product or service.

?These findings are an indication that social media is still a very new phenomenon,? explained Tom Eggemeier, head of Global Sales at Genesys. ?Many large consumer-facing companies are still struggling and not confident in their ability to deal with customer queries and complaints via social media. Consumer-facing companies need to resolve this disconnect by developing a customer service strategy that understands and integrates social media channels across every customer touch point.?

Scientists study dinosaurs' last meals

Dinosaur fossils found with the bones of birds and small dinosaurs in their stomachs reveal the beasts may have been adept hunters capable of downing prey more than a third their own size, researchers say.

Fossils are occasionally found with the remains of animals and plants inside what were once their guts. These tummy contents can shed light on what they once ate ? for instance, past research showed a mammal predator apparently had a tiny dinosaur as its last meal.

Scientists investigated two specimens of a carnivorous dinosaur from Liaoning, China, known as Sinocalliopteryx gigas. The predator was roughly the size of a wolf, about 6 feet (2 meters) long, and had feathers or hairlike fuzz covering its body to help keep it warm.

Back when this dinosaur was alive, about 120 million years ago, the area was a warm, wet forest, with a diverse fauna of dinosaurs, birds and crocodilians. "It was kind of a quintessential dinosaur environment, with lots of volcanic activity that periodically inundated the landscape and buried things within it with exquisite preservation," said researcher Phil Bell, a vertebrate paleontologist at the Pipestone Creek Dinosaur Initiative in Canada. "Today the area is pretty much farmland, although the farmers all understand the importance of fossils and the interest they create, and a lot have turned to farming for dinosaurs."

One of the Sinocalliopteryx specimens, a complete and remarkably well-preserved skeleton, apparently dined on a birdlike, cat-size feathered dinosaur known as Sinornithosaurus, judging by the partial leg found in its gut. [See Images of the Dinosaur Guts]

The other Sinocalliopteryx specimen, an incomplete skeleton, held the remains of at least two primitive crow-size birds known as Confuciusornis, as well as acid-etched bones from a dinosaur. (Confuciusornis was probably limited to slow takeoffs and short flights.)

"Stomach remains are evidence of actual interactions between animals, which is extremely rare in the fossil record," Bell told LiveScience. "We're lucky to find one or two bones of anything; to get a specimen with the remains of its last meal or meals is pretty cool."

It remains uncertain whether the dinosaurs actively hunted or scavenged these meals. Still, the fact that Sinocalliopteryx gobbled at least two birds of the same species at about the same time "says chances are very good it was actively selecting its prey; that makes it a predator," Bell said.

And capturing flying prey points to a stealthy, capable hunter, the researchers added.

"What I think is coolest about these findings is that it starts to bring these animals to life," Bell said. "A lot of people look at fossils as just dead things ? it's hard for them to imagine them as living, breathing animals. When you get something like this, it really brings them to life."

The scientists detailed their findings online Wednesday in the journal PLoS ONE.

Romney makes his case: 'Need jobs, lots of jobs'

TAMPA, Fla.?Mitt Romney launched his fall campaign for the White House with a rousing, remarkably personal speech to the Republican National convention and a prime-time TV audience Thursday night, proclaiming that America needs "jobs, lots of jobs" and promising to create 12 million of them in perilous economic times.

"Now is the time to restore the promise of America," Romney declared to a nation struggling with 8.3 percent unemployment and the slowest economic recovery in decades.

Often viewed as a distant politician, he made a press-the-flesh entrance into the hall, walking slowly down one of the convention aisles and shaking hands with dozens of delegates. The hall erupted in cheers when he reached the stage and he

waved to his shouting, chanting supporters before beginning to speak.

"I accept your nomination for president," he said, to a roar of approval. Then he pivoted into personal details of family life, recounting his youth as a Mormon, the son of parents devoted to one another, and a married man with five rambunctious sons.

He choked up at least twice, including when he recalled how he and wife Ann would awake to find "a pile of kids asleep in our room."

Romney aimed numerous jabs at President Barack Obama, his Democratic quarry in a close and uncertain race for the White House, and drew cheers when he vowed to repeal Obama's signature health care law.

"This president can tell us it was someone else's fault. This president can tell us that the next four years he'll get it right. But this president cannot tell us that you are better off today than when he took office," Romney declared.

Clint Eastwood, legendary Hollywood tough guy, put the case for ousting Obama plainly moments before Romney made his entrance. "When somebody does not do the job, you've got to let 'em go," he said to the cheers of thousands in the packed convention hall.

Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and the Democrats counter with their own convention beginning next Tuesday in Charlotte, N.C.

His own speech over, Romney was joined by running mate Paul Ryan, then their wives, and finally a stage full of their children and grandchildren. Confetti and thousands of red, white and blue balloons floated down from the rafters. They joined popular gospel singer BeBe Winans on "America the Beautiful."

Beyond the heartfelt personal testimonials and political hoopla, the evening marked one of a very few opportunities any presidential challenger is granted to appeal to millions of voters in a single night.

The two-month campaign to come includes other big moments?principally a series of one-on-one debates with Democrat Obama?in a race for the

White House that has been close for months. In excess of $500 million has been spent on campaign television commercials so far, almost all of it in the battleground states of Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, New Hampshire, Ohio, Iowa, Colorado and Nevada.

Romney holds a fundraising advantage over Obama, and his high command hopes to expand the electoral map soon if post-convention polls in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and perhaps elsewhere indicate it's worth the investment.

Romney was often almost gentle in his criticism of Obama.

"I wish President Obama had succeeded because I want America to succeed," he said. "But his promises gave way to disappointment and division."

"This isn't something we have to

accept," he said, appealing to millions of voters who say they are disappointed in the president yet haven't yet decided to cast their votes for his Republican challenger.

"Now is the moment when we can stand up and say, 'I'm an American. I make my destiny. And we deserve better! My children deserve better! My family deserves better! My country deserves better!"

Romney's remarks came on a night when other speakers filled out a week-long portrait of the GOP nominee as a man of family and faith, savior of the 2002 Winter Olympics, savvy and successful in business, yet careful with a buck. A portion of the convention stage was rebuilt overnight so he would appear surrounded by delegates rather than speaking from a distance, an attempt to soften his image as a sometimes-stiff and distant candidate.

"He shoveled snow and raked leaves for the elderly. He took down tables and swept floors at church dinners," said Grant Bennett, describing Romney's volunteer work as an unpaid lay clergy leader in the Mormon church.

Following him to the podium, Ted and Pat Oparowski tenderly recalled how Romney befriended their 14-year-old son David as he was dying of cancer. "We will be ever grateful to Mitt for his love and concern," she said simply.

Shouts of "USA, USA" echoed in the convention hall as several Olympic medal winners came on stage, a reminder of Romney stepping in to help rescue the faltering 2002 Olympic Games in Salt Lake City.

As for Obama, Romney said, "Many Americans have given up on this president, but they haven't ever thought about giving up. Not on themselves, Not on each other. And not on America."

Romney did not mention the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and made only the most fleeting references to social issues. He said, "As president, I will protect the sanctity of life. I will honor the institution of marriage. And I will guarantee America's first liberty: the freedom of religion."

The economy is issue No. 1 in the race for the White House, and Romney presented his credentials as the man better equipped than the president to help create jobs. Speaker after speaker testified to the help their received from Bain Capital, the private equity firm that he created?and that Democrats argue often took over companies, loaded them down with debt and then walked away with huge fees as bankruptcy approached.

"When I told him about Staples, he really got excited at the idea of saving a few cents on paper clips," businessman Tom Stemberg said of the office supply store chain he founded with backing from Bain.

Romney' offered no new information on what has so far been a short-on-details pledge to reduce federal deficits and create 12 million jobs in a country where unemployment stands at 8.3 percent.

Still, he said, "Let me make this very clear, unlike President Obama, I will not raise taxes on the middle class"?a rejoinder to one of the Democrats' most frequent accusation

Romney would have to nearly double the current, anemic pace of job growth to achieve 12 million jobs over four years. That's conceivable in a healthy economy. Moody's Analytics, a financial research operation, expects nearly that many jobs to return in four years no matter who occupies the White House, absent further economic setbacks.

Romney's steps for achieving the employment growth include deficit cuts that he has not spelled out and a march toward energy independence that past presidents have promised but never delivered.

He has called for extension of tax cuts due to expire at all income levels at the end of the year, and an additional 20 percent across the board cut in rates. But he has yet to sketch which tax breaks he will eliminate or cut to prevent deficits from rising.

Nor has he been forthcoming about where to make the trillions in spending cuts needed to redeem his pledge of major deficit reduction, or about his promise to rein in Medicare or other government benefit programs before they go broke.

Ryan, the chairman of the House Budget Committee, has called for remaking Medicare into a program in which the government would send seniors checks to be used to purchase health care insurance.

Under the current approach, beneficiaries pay premiums to the government, which then pays a part of all of their medical bills, and Democrats say the GOP alternative would expose seniors to ever-rising out-of-pocket costs.

Obama's surrogates missed no opportunity to criticize Romney, the convention proceedings or Ryan's own acceptance speech.

"He lied about Medicare. He lied about the Recovery Act," Obama's campaign manager, Jim Messina, emailed Democratic donors in a plea for cash.

"He lied about the deficit and debt. He even dishonestly attacked Barack Obama for the closing of a GM plant in his hometown of Janesville, Wisconsin?a plant that closed in December 2008 under George W. Bush."

The evening sealed a triumph more than five years in the making for Romney. He ran unsuccessfully for the nomination in 2008 after a single term as a moderate Republican governor of a liberal Democratic state.

This year, as then, he was assailed as a convert to conservatism, and a questionable one at that, as Gingrich, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and other rivals battled him for the nomination. With a superior organization and an outside group that spent millions criticizing his foes, Romney eventually emerged as the nominee in early spring.

Video: New book reveals details of bin Laden raid

>>> there is a big new book coming out. we were able to purchase a copy of it early. it was called "no easy day" and details the raid to kill osama bin laden . it's written by a member of the navy s.e.a.l. team that did the job. among s.e.a.l.s, it is considered a violation of their rules of operating in silence. for the rest of us, there were details in it not known heretofore because it was a secret operation. our report on it tonight from our pentagon correspondent jim miklaszewski .

>> reporter: it's the most detailed account yet of the mission that killed osama bin laden , written by a navy s.e.a.l. under the pseudonym mark owen who helped take down the al qaeda leader. it was pitch black as they crept upstairs to the compound. the author says he was second in line when the lead s.e.a.l. saw bin laden poke his head out of the doorway and the lead s.e.a.l. opened fire. we were less than five steps from getting to the top, he wrote, when i heard suppressed shots. bin laden disappeared back into the room. the s.e.a.l.s found bin laden on the floor. he was unarmed and fatally wounded. two women wailing over his body. bin laden had been shot once in the head. as he convulsed on the floor, the author writes, he and another s.e.a.l. trained our lasers on his chest and fired several rounds until he was motionless. the account appears to contradict white house claims that this was a mission to kill or capture bin laden . in fact, the next day white house officials claim bin laden was killed after engaging the s.e.a.l.s in a firefight and using one of his wives as a human shield .

>> there was a female, who was, in fact, in the line of fire that reportedly was used as a shield, to shield bin laden from the incoming fire.

>> reporter: but the author reveals that bin laden , the most wanted terrorist in the world, did nothing to defend himself. the weapons found in the room were not loaded. he had no intention of fighting. he asked his followers to wear suicide vests and fly planes into buildings but didn't pick up his weapon. five days later at ft. campbell, kentucky, president obama met privately with the s.e.a.l.s who took down bin laden .

>> there was a chance for me to say on behalf of all americans and people around the world, job well done. job well done.

>> reporter: the author writes, however, the s.e.a.l.s resented that president obama would win political points for the raid. as one s.e.a.l. joked, we'll get obama re-elected for sure. i can see him now talking about how he killed bin laden . in response to the book, the white house praised the s.e.a.l.s for their valor but avoided any of that criticism and asked if this was a kill or capture operation. military officials will tell you any time these s.e.a.l.s go on a mission, somebody dies. brian.

>> jim miklaszewski on duty at the pentagon. jim, thanks.

Laser Eye Surgery Facts & Risks | BlackDoctor

If you wear or need glasses, you?ve probably heard about laser surgery for sharper vision ? you probably even know someone who?s had it done. The most common types are LASIK and PRK, and these treatments can either bring back 20/20 vision, or at least reduce your need for glasses or contacts.

But vision surgery can have some negative, even dangerous, side effects, so here?s what you need to know before you make an appointment.

Celebrate great health! LIKE BlackDoctor.org on Facebook!

Good Candidates for Vision Surgery

Laser surgery helps people who are nearsighted, farsighted, or have an oddly shaped cornea, called astigmatism, but it?s not for everyone. It might work for you if:

? Your prescription hasn?t changed for at least one year.

Vision Surgery: Dangers You Need To Know About

Illnesses that affect healing can make vision surgery a poor choice in some cases. If you have diabetes, HIV, lupus, or rheumatoid arthritis, talk with an ophthalmologist about your best options. Other conditions that require careful evaluation and could make you a poor candidate for surgery include:

? Dry eye
? Large pupils
? Thin corneas

Surgery is not appropriate for people with keratoconus, which is a cornea disorder.

Remember: Even After Surgery, You May Still Need Glasses

There?s no guarantee that you?ll be able to toss your glasses completely, even with successful surgery. Reading and driving at night may still require glasses. With a strong prescription, there?s a chance you?ll still need glasses most of the time after surgery. Standard laser vision surgeries do not treat presbyopia, the blurry close-up vision that starts after age 40. ?Blended? or monovision procedures are a newer option for presbyopia.

Using Ebooks In Your Internet Marketing Strategy | Free Article ...

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Ebooks, or downloadable books are often used in internet marketing circles as a means of promoting a website, building a mailing list or earning money.

What is an Ebook and How Do You Create One?

Ebooks are usually fairly short books that are able to be immediately downloaded from the internet as opposed to having to purchase a hard copy. These books are usually offered in PDF format which can be opened using Adobe PDF reader or Adobe Acrobat.

The first step in creating your ebook is to know what you want to write about and doing research on the topic. If you are good at writing then you may want to write the ebook yourself or hire a ghostwriter to write the book for you.

There are a number of different programs that can be used to convert Word documents into PDF format which can then be distributed, sometimes with password protection to stop people altering the ebook.

How Ebooks are used in Internet Marketing

Ebooks may be sold or given away free to help improve your marketing efforts.

In order to use for marketing purposes you should ensure that there is an advert for your website and/or business somewhere in the book (usually in the first few pages/front cover).

A good way to market your business using ebooks is to have a page on your website where people can subscribe to your newsletter in exchange for your free ebook. Once you have people?s email addresses you can contact them and advertise other products to them.

If you want to make ebook marketing even more powerful, then consider giving it away with ?give away rights? or ?resell rights? ? give away rights allows another person to give your ebook away to others; while resell rights allows them to sell it to others.

If you do this you will find more people passing your ebook on and so spreading your message further and further.

Another way in which you can use ebooks for internet marketing is to offer your ebook on Joint Venture giveaway websites. People are then directed to your web page where they fill in a form to subscribe to your newsletter and receive your free ebook. Instead of just you promoting your website though you will find all the other joint venture partners involved in the JV giveaway website send traffic to this website which in turn passes it onto you.

What to Consider When Using Ebooks for Internet Marketing

Before distributing your ebook for marketing purposes consider the following:

1. Is your ebook of high quality offering useful information that your target market will be interested in reading?

2. Does your ebook contain clear links to your website so that people know what you are marketing and where to find it?

Ebooks are a useful tool in internet marketing. You can either sell them and make money directly, or give them away, offering people useful information which will then draw them to your website to make other purchases.

Finding Faith in a Moving Box or a Box of Wine; It All Works Out

Regroup. Reframe. Relax. This is my motto. My theme if you will. I use it in my writing, my personal perspective, my work and my every day life.? And yet, it?s a challenge. And right now, I am feeling very, very challenged.

I?m not sure if this is the appropriate place to vent, but seeing as I write about perspective and getting comfortable with our world, maybe it?s the perfect place to vent.

You see, I?m moving. And if you have ever moved, you will recall the highs and lows that come with moving and making just about any transition in your life.? I?m not opposed to transition and change, I know it?s inevitable and it helps us grow, but to combat any discomfort, I like to plan everything out and am a chronic goal setter because it makes me feel less chaotic during change. As long as I feel some semblance of personal control during transition, I?m good.

When my husband suggested we move (for the past three years, but I was in denial until this past Spring) I was very hesitant, and assumed/hoped we?d never find what we liked and would have to stay in our current home and expand.? I felt very strongly about this until I started visualizing myself in each new house and slowly started to see our family growing in these places.? And when we found the house we really wanted, that had everything we were looking for, we knew we had arrived, it was meant to be.

And so began our summer of transition. My normal goal of shutting down and relaxing with my children at the lake each day and berry picking and pool hopping had to shift to the new goal of getting fully prepared to move at the end of the summer and unfortunately during the first week of school.? But it?s a great house and I?m a great planner, so it would be a sacrifice well worth it.

Every transition has its low points and drama and the buying and selling of our houses has had its fair share in the past two months, but they?ve been manageable?until two weeks ago.? Long story short, we are scheduled to close on our current home this week, our boxes are packed, we?re on our way out, but at this very moment, we have no definitive plan on where we will move to.

Due to a major error on the seller of the house we are buying, we are no longer closing on the house this week. We may be in the future, but there is no guarantee and there are significant risks in the process of waiting it out.? We were offered the option of renting the house while we wait, but we still have not seen a rental agreement and we must be out of our home in four days.? We have no concrete back up plan- which is unheard of for me- but I am holding out.? Why? I am relying on Faith. I am practicing what I believe in and what I struggle with.

This morning I made various lists for myself of what I need to get done today.? Remaining closets that need packing, meal plan for the week, clothes laid out for school and a final exit plan for the house- the house I didn?t want to leave. I am taking control of what I can.? And the rest, a very large rest, I am leaving to Faith.? It is not easy. I am battling the What If?s, the uneasiness of not having an action plan, and the sadness of leaving the security and comfort of my home.? But I choose to believe that it will be okay.? I have to. I have to believe that it will work out for my family. I have to regroup various times throughout the day, I have to reframe my thoughts almost continuously and I have to relax, at least once a day, if even with help of a nice glass of Pinot Noir.? It is imperative.

I will have a back up emergency plan in a few days if I have to.? But for now, I?m riding it out.? Somehow, when it all works out, I think it will make the reliance on Faith that much more rewarding. And if it doesn?t??we?ll cross that bridge.

This particular life challenge has been a struggle, but not one I?m afraid to tackle.? It?s not any harder than the others and the lessons we?re learning will be invaluable somewhere down the road.? So if you don?t hear from me in a month, its not that I?ve given up. It?s that I?ve been locked up, behind some padded walls by some very skeptical people who are uncomfortable with my incurable optimism?or in the storage facility I am living in that doesn?t have Wi-Fi.? Either way, it only gets better from here, right?

Eye Health in Sports and Recreation | GT Sunglasses

Eye Health in Sports and Recreation

(From Eye Smart Site)

Tens of thousands of sports and recreation-related eye injuries occur each year. The good news is that 90 percent of serious eye injuries are preventable through use of appropriate protective eyewear.

The risk of eye injury can vary depending on the activity. Make sure the level of eye protection you or others in your family use is appropriate for the type of activity. Regular eyeglasses do not offer proper eye protection.

High-Risk Sports

For all age groups, sports-related eye injuries occur most frequently in baseball, basketball and racquet sports, such as tennis, squash, etc.

Boxing and full-contact martial arts pose an extremely high risk of serious and even blinding eye injuries. There is no satisfactory eye protection for boxing, although thumb-less gloves may reduce the number of boxing eye injuries.

In baseball, ice hockey and men?s or ladies lacrosse, a helmet with a polycarbonate (an especially strong, shatterproof, lightweight plastic) face mask or wire shield should be worn at all times. It is important that hockey face masks be approved by the Hockey Equipment Certification Council or the Canadian Standards Association (CSA).

Baseball Protection

Protective eyewear with polycarbonate lenses?should be worn for sports such as

basketball, racquet sports, soccer and field hockey. Choose eye protectors that have

been tested to meet the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards or SAI GLOBAL

which incorporates Standards Australia & Standards New Zealand. See the GTSL Sunglasses Protective Eyewear Site for additional details. If you already have reduced vision in one eye, consider the risks of injuring the stronger eye before participating in contact or racquet sports, which pose a higher risk of eye injury. Check with your ophthalmologist (Eye M.D.) to see if appropriate eye protection is available and whether or not participating in contact or racquet sports is advised.

Other Risky Leisure Activities

While sports account for a particularly high number of eye injuries, they are by no means the only hobby that poses a risk to your sight. According to physicians surveyed for the 2008 Eye Injury Snapshot conducted by the AmericanAcademyof Ophthalmology and the American Society of Ocular Trauma, more than 40 percent of patients treated for eye injuries sustained at home were involved in home repairs, yard work, cleaning and cooking. Use common sense and err on the side of caution, whatever the activity.

• Consider the risk of flying debris or other objects during activities and wear appropriate eye protection.
• Remember that eyeglasses aren?t sufficient protection.
• Be careful during activities or games involving projectiles and other sharp objects that could create injury if in contact with the eye. For example, the U.S. Eye Injury Registry indicates that fishing is the number one cause of sports-related eye injuries.
• If you wear contacts or eyeglasses, pack a back-up form of vision correction during bike trips or other activities where you could lose or shatter a lens.

If an eye injury occurs, see an ophthalmologist or go to the emergency room immediately, even if the eye injury appears minor. Delaying medical attention can result in permanent vision loss or blindness.

Learn how to recognize an eye injury.

On-the-Field Visual Test Helps Diagnose Concussions in Athletes

About 3.8 million Americans sustain sports-related concussions each year, so a quick, reliable screening test would be useful on the sidelines, to keep injured athletes from returning to play too soon, and off the field to help physicians more effectively diagnose, treat and rehabilitate patients with concussions. An on-the-field visual test can help.

Commercial Real Estate Blog forecasters say UK commercial ...

Leading forecasters are predicting the continued recovery of UK commercial property values in the new year. The IPD index shows a remarkable rebound, and total returns may even become positive after the largest monthly rise ever in the history of the index in November of 2.4%.

The market rally since August has caused considerable uncertainty for the year ahead, particularly as it has defied fundamental reasons for price restraint such as flagging occupier demand and rental declines.

However, while few expect prices to rise at the same pace, many forecast that next year will be positive for returns from property. The consensus view is broadly that capital values will plateau, with total returns settling at 6 to 10% for the next two years. There is a range of other opinion, however.

William Hill, head of property at Schroders, forecast that the sharp turnround in the performance of UK commercial property would continue through the first six months of 2010. After that, however, he said that the picture was less clear, with economic uncertainty meaning that the market was likely to experience further volatility over the next two to three years and potentially a fall in values in 2011.

Harm Meijer, an analyst at JPMorgan, expects property prices to bounce by 15% between June 2009 to June 2010, before settling into sluggish growth or a modest decline for two years. This will give a compound price growth of 4% a year over a five-year period. He said that the rally in real estate stocks was over, but that there was expected to be a 12% total return from the European listed sector next year. His picks in the UK were Big Yellow and British Land.

CB Richard Ellis, the property consultancy, also believes the market is not in the grip of an unsustainable "mini-bubble", saying that many measures of yield and value were still in comfortable territory relative to long-run averages. The UK, it forecast, looked likely to lead other markets in its recovery.

There is expected to be about '60billion (?55billion) of investment activity in the European commercial real estate market in 2009, about half of the total from the previous year. CBRE expects there to be a steady rise in activity in 2010, although this will be restrained by the focus on prime property, which is in relatively short supply.

Leasing activity in 2009 is likely to be at about a third of 2008 levels, but CBRE expects this also gradually to recover as economic prospects improve during the latter half of 2010.

King Sturge, a rival property agency, forecast that the UK investment bubble would soften in the first quarter. It said prime property had shown growth of 20% in values in the past year, but the impact of an end to quantitative easing, higher tax rates, election uncertainty, unemployment, the Dubai crash and better savings rates would take the steam out of the market.

"Whether it is a VW, or a 'corrugated' recovery, it is not a straight line up from here," said Neville Pritchard, head of UK investment at King Sturge, echoing the sentiment from many veteran investors such as Nick Leslau and Mike Slade .

Secondary stock will continue to languish, he added. "Those who anticipate a substantial rebound in poorer quality stock are mistaken." He said central London offices and the best quality retail parks would continue to find favour with risk-averse investors.

Savills, the real estate adviser, also said that the London market was set to fare well. In a report published alongside Oxford Economics, the economic forecaster, Savills said that London would re-emerge as the fastest growing large European destination and one of the fastest expanding global financial centres, exceeding New York and Tokyo in the medium term.

John Rigg, head of international investment at Savills, said: "Concerted central bank action and the fall in sterling combined with London's intrinsic attractions are causing a rapid recovery to certain markets."

Since that conversation, I see no improvments..yes, he is going to counseling,but keeps dishing out the same behaviors and attitudes that continue to hurt me.? I feel like I can't breathe and my health is going down the tubes in the meantime. I keep getting chipped away at and I see no remorse or caring about the damage he has done.? I keep getting defense and anger out of him.? Is this an indication that he doesn't care?? That's how I take it.?

Russia must counter nationalist threat, Putin says

SARANSK, Russia (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that Russia must counter a serious threat from nationalists he said were taking advantage of democratic freedoms to gain influence in a country with a fragile mix of ethnic groups.

He rebuked local authorities, saying recent outbreaks of ethnic violence were "primarily the result of the inaction of law enforcement organs and irresponsibility of bureaucrats".

"Today more and more often, under the guise of development of democracy and freedom, various ethnic nationalist groups are raising their heads. They take part in rallies, work on the Internet and among teenagers and students," Putin said,

"In essence they all are pushing, provoking separatist tendencies inside Russia," the president said, addressing the first meeting of his Council on Inter-Ethnic Relations. "It is important to confront their dangerous influence."

Russia has seen several outbreaks of ethnic violence in recent years, including December 2010 riots near the Kremlin in which thousands of nationalist soccer fans attacked non-Slavic passers-by and clashed with police.

Nationalist soccer fans on Thursday attacked supporters of a team from the Muslim North Caucasus province of Dagestan in Moscow and St Petersburg, cities where tension between ethnic Russians and migrants from the Caucasus and other areas has risen.

"We do not have the right to ignore any negative tendencies which arise in this sphere. We should understand that conflicts may not only weaken the state and society but destroy its foundations," Putin said.

"CORRUPTION AND PREJUDICE"

"Corruption and prejudice among representatives of state bodies, and their inability to provide justice and defend people's interests, are fuelling ethnic conflict and tension," Putin said.

After four years as prime minister, Putin won the presidency in March despite a series of opposition protests, fuelled by suspicions of fraud in a December parliamentary vote won by his long-entrenched party.

Many protesters were liberals, but some were nationalists who shared their thirst for a stronger voice in politics.

The Kremlin responded to the protests with tough measures ranging from increased fines for infractions at protests to apartment searches and criminal charges against some activists. The authorities said the measures were needed to maintain order.

The trial of three women from punk band Pussy Riot for an irreverent protest against Putin in a cathedral has also increased tension.

The Slavic-rooted Russian Orthodox Church portrayed their performance as an attack on traditional Russian values, while Kremlin critics said the two-year sentences they received for "hooliganism motivated by religious hatred" showed Putin was eager to suppress dissent in his new six-year term.

Putin interrupted a working vacation in the Black Sea resort of Sochi to travel to Saransk, capital of central Russia's Mordovia region, home to the Finno-Ugric speaking Mordvin people - one of over 200 ethnic groups in Russia.

The trip was to mark what is considered the 1,000th anniversary of the region joining Russia. It was part of Putin's effort to cast himself as a protector of Russia's unity and ethnic diversity and use his power to discourage ethnic tension.
