Vintage) Visions of the Future — The dream of flying cars finally comes true! In a... FUTUREION - (Vintage) Visions of the Future. In Search of the True Self. The Stone is a forum for contemporary philosophers and other thinkers on issues both timely and timeless. Mark Pierpont used to be an important figure in the evangelical Christian effort to help “cure” gay people of their homosexual desires. He started out just printing up tracts and handing them out in gay bars, but his ministry grew over time, and eventually he was traveling the world and speaking to crowds that sometimes numbered in the thousands.

There was just one problem. Mark Pierpont himself was gay. He continued to feel sexual desires toward other men and was constantly engaged in an effort to suppress them. Faced with a case like this one, we might be tempted to give Pierpont some simple advice. Leif Parsons Yet, though there is a great deal of consensus on the importance of this ideal, there is far less agreement about what it actually tells us to do in any concrete situation. Each of these perspectives seems like a reasonable one, at least worthy of serious consideration. With +1, Google Search Goes Truly Social — As Do Google Ads. Back in early December of last year, we first reported that Google was toying around with the name “+1″ for an upcoming social product.

At the time, we were told it was sort of like Google’s version of the “like” or “retweet” button. Today it officially launches as a way to share Google Search results that you like with your friends and the broader web in general. Oh, and also a way to inject social into Google Ads. To be clear, the version of +1 which is beginning to roll out today is not the toolbar version that we first got a glimpse of in December, that’s apparently a different version that was being tested.

This version of +1 actually launching is a small button that will reside next to each and every Google Search result. The button also works on the ads that appear in Google Search. But let’s take a step back for a second. At the same time, the current social mechanisms require some work to be useful — you have to explicitly share a link somewhere.

The avocado is high in fat, but most of the fat is the heart-healthy monounsaturated kind. We know the avocado tastes great, but outside of an occasional guacamole dip, few of us reach for this high-fiber food for salads or as a great side dish. You’ll also get protein, a good dose of vitamins A and E, some B vitamins, lots of potassium and a dollop of copper.

The rich and creamy avocado has been called the “chocolate” of fruits. At Thanksgiving, we dash for sweet potatoes as if they’re available just once a year. But you can bake or microwave these tubers anytime for a super dose of vitamin A — five times the daily value (DV) the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends. Sweet potatoes also offer some vitamin C and a significant helping of important minerals, including calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and iron.

Mr Oizo – Let The Children Techno Sadly, the first track is a big disappointment, Oizo did way better... But it's "just" the intro. 2. I never expect much from Busy P. 3. 4. Impressive track from Siriusmo, as usual I might say. 5. Para One AND Tacteel ? 6. Alright, you'll fall in love after 5 seconds. 7.

The worst track I've ever heard from SebastiAn, very bad. 8. No idea who the hell that is, but... 9. Decent track, a bit too boring sadly, but I can understand what people would like in it. 10. L-Vis 1990 strikes back, amazing remix, gotta love those loud drums. 11. 12. Another average track. 13. Very catchy, I wasn't expecting that from Feadz, especially after The T.U.F.F. 14. I got bored after 3 mins (the track's 7:36 mins long) of bip bip bip, distorted sounds and weird voices. 15. Craaaazy tune. 16. 17. Riton's killing it one more time. 18. 19. 20. Enjoy ! Nerdcore.

Getting Around Credit-Only Internships | Ed2010™ Ed was an intern once, and he knows how important it is to intern your a$$ off in order to gain experience in this industry! Ed also knows that in this economy, most internships aren’t going to pay you, but they will require that you receive school credit for your work. Ed talked to some enterprising whippersnappers who landed credit-only internships when they weren’t technically eligible to receive credit. Here are their secrets: Your college doesn’t offer credit for internships, or the extra credit costs an arm and a leg. Search for loopholes. A letter may not cut it, so talk to your advisors and professors about any other ideas they may have. You’ve already graduated and weren’t planning on going to grad school.

Go back to school—sort of. If you aren’t in touch with anyone at your alma mater, find a local college that has flexible rules and offers cheap credits (community/city colleges will be cheapest!). You’ve exhausted your options and there is just no way for you to get credit. Look in art. THEM THANGS. PADI Scuba Diving Instructor Profile Scuba diving lessons in Miami Florida.

How Advertising is Changing Social Media. 21 February '11, 11:49pm Follow Words I have been hearing a lot in recent times in social media: acquiring, owning, recruiting and retaining. I’ve heard these words before from brands, agencies and people within the industry. They are not the same social media buzz words from 18 months ago like: community, engaging and organic. So what has changed? I suppose this is inevitable when you see how much money brands are pumping into Facebook advertising that the mentality would shift. 18 months ago people were dipping their toes in the water with small campaigns but brands now launch products entirely through social media and if they are doing that they need to make sure it reaches a substantial audience.

Will social media just end up being called “media” in the future? The smart brands still know that the real power lies in the conversations; engaging and helping customers with things like brilliant customer service. The key to the future lies somewhere in the middle. Today's Zaman, your gateway to Turkish daily news. Fashion Internships | The GLAMOUROUS Life.

College agriculture students from around the state have been given the duty to be the eyes, ears and voices of agriculture. Four ISU students have been named members of the first Iowa Corn Student Advisory Team. The group consists of student representatives from agriculture programs at colleges around the state. The Iowa Corn Growers Association and the Iowa Corn Promotion Board are the team's sponsors. The members are responsible for identifying areas of concern that the public has regarding agriculture. "As team members, we have been tasked with listening around campus and in our communities to public opinion on agricultural issues and determine how we can influence them or bring truths to the matter," said Charlie White, senior in agricultural business.

White said there are fallacies in today's media that shed a negative light on the agricultural industry. One way the team will promote agriculture is through monetary support.
