Testing the blog application

Move a blog between accounts - Blogger Help

Move a blog between accounts - Blogger Help
The short answer is that you can do this by making the blog in question a team blog, with two members, then removing the original team member.

In detail, the process goes like this:

Sign in to Blogger with Account 1, which we'll assume is the account containing the blog.
Go to the "Permissions" section under Settings | Basic tab.
Permissions section
Click the Add Authors button and send an invitation to the owner of Account 2, the account to which you'd like to move the blog.
Add authors
Wait for the owner of Account 2 to accept the invitation. If you're sharing a computer, you'll need to sign out of Account 1 first, or each use a different browser.
Once Account 2 has joined the blog, Account 1 can sign in again and go back to the Settings | Basic tab.
Click the drop-down menu next to Account 2 and choose "Admin."
Click the X next to Account 1 to remove Account 1.
Add as admin

Notes:

You'll still see any posts made on the blog by Account 1 with Account 1's display name. Account 2 can delete and repost these posts if they'd like to change the display name.
Account 1 cannot be removed until Account 2 has admin rights, since every blog must have at least one admin member at all times.
Photos uploaded with Account 1 will break if that account is deleted. If you want your old photos to display after adding Account 2, you'll have to leave Account 1 active.


Appreciation

Taoism.net / TrueTao.org
Are there friends and loved ones in your life who are like the light bulb, always giving light but never really noticed by anyone? Have you taken them for granted because of their constant, reliable presence? What if they are no longer there one day?

Do not wait for such a day to suddenly realize how important they are. Give thanks today for the good fortune of having them in your life. Let them know you are thinking of them and send them an expression of your gratitude.


replaced

a light bulb goes off frequently, then sooner or later it will be replaced with one that is more reliable. Who wants a light bulb that no one can count on to provide illumination?”


karoshi — death from overwork.

Taoism.net / TrueTao.org
The ultimate form of this extreme could be observed in Japan back in the 1980s, when several high-ranking business executives died suddenly, even though they were in their prime and had no previous signs of illness. The Japanese called this phenomenon karoshi — death from overwork.


Defeated escaping through self deception

Self deception examples | 2KnowMySelf
Self deception examples

Self deception example 1, The monk: I do respect religious people so much but some and not all of them turned to religion in attempt to deceive themselves. When life problems become really tough some people feel like giving up their dreams but because it would feel too shameful to admit it they have to come up with a self deception plan or a lie that they would believe in that can help them escape without blaming themselves. Many people start to think of the after life and claim that they want nothing from this world not because they really want to be religious but because they want to escape as they were defeated
Self deception example 2, Travelers: Traveling can be another example of self deception. We all like to travel but some people decide to travel when things go wrong in the town they live in. Those people might have failed to succeed there or might have failed to develop good relationships with the people around them and that's why they decide to escape. But again because escapement feels bad self deception comes to save the day. The person might lie to himself by claiming that he loves to travel while in fact he loves to escape.
self deception example 3, The busy man: That's one of the most common self deception examples out there. The person who fails to succeed in a certain area might decide to escape from it by keeping himself busy. Some workaholics became that way because they failed to face social life and so decided to isolate themselves using that brilliant self deception method


ambition

Why are some people so ambitious | 2KnowMySelf
why are some people so ambitious

Here are some points that will explain why some people are so ambitious:

1) Birth order: The youngest child in a family usually finds himself in comparison with older and more capable siblings. As a result this youngest child either withdraws and believes that he is incapable or he either becomes extremely competitive (or in other words very ambitious). This tough competition this child finds himself in fuels his desire to bypass his siblings and everyone else who competes with him later on in life (see How birth order affects your life)
2) Ego driven ambition: The bigger a person's ego the more ambitious will he be provided that he is brave enough to go after big goals. When a person believes that he is extremely important he will start to believe that he deserves to live a better life and as a result he might become extremely ambitious. If that person wasn't brave then he might channel his emotions into another route such as becoming extremely arrogant
3) Insecurity & Ambition : Insecurity can make a person extremely ambitious. When a person is put under extreme psychological pressure he does one of two things 1)He either becomes extremely ambitious so that he changes his life to the better and ends his insecurities or 2) he either withdraws, admits defeat and does nothing in life. Most billionaires were people who suffered from extreme financial insecurities when they were young
4) Tough comparisons and ambition: When a person is put in a tough comparison with his friends, colleagues or anyone else he will do his best to rise above those he is competing with. If for example a poor guy had only rich friends then he might become extremely ambitious when it comes to financial success. If that guy wasn't brave enough to pursue that goal then instead of becoming ambitious he will clam himself down by forming false beliefs such as 1) life is unfair 2) i am not lucky ...etc

Aquarius Monthly Horoscope: April 2013

Aquarius April 2013 Horoscope
Aquarius Monthly Horoscope: April 2013

April 2013 Horoscope Aquarius: Love & Relationships

With Jupiter in Aquarius' house of love, the sentimental future looks promising for another three months. You'd better take full advantage of this generous interval characterized by romantic enthusiasm and sexual drive.

Jupiter will bring along opportunities. Don't let them get wasted away, as starting July fate will not be as generous as this.

April 2013 will be a month of encounters and communication. It'll abound with conversations, e-mails, text messages and other kinds of notes, more or less electronic, with sentimental innuendoes or referring to relationships.

It is now that love declarations can occur, but also explanations, confession, negotiation or even contradictory discussions. There's a lot to be said, to debate on. If you find the right tone of voice, you can achieve anything you want by means of communication, because you'll be extremely persuasive.

There will be trips to be taken, either together or trips taking you to the dear one. Encounters will take place, some of them previously arranged, others completely unexpected. Everything will be moving. Shared intellectual interests, courses, conferences will be meant to get people closer to each other.


Good Content brings customers

Why I left Google - JW on Tech - Site Home - MSDN Blogs
he old Google made a fortune on ads because they had good content. It was like TV used to be: make the best show and you get the most ad revenue from commercials. The new Google seems more focused on the commercials themselves.

arsenic in your food

Arsenic in Your Food | Consumer Reports Investigation
Rice producers argue that concerns about dietary exposure to arsenic in rice are overblown. “There is no documented evidence of actual adverse health effects from exposure to arsenic in U.S.-grown rice,” says Anne Banville, a vice president at the USA Rice Federation, a trade association representing the $34 billion rice industry. “And we believe the health benefits of rice must be properly weighed against the risks of arsenic exposure, which we believe are minimal.”

But scientists warn of complacency. “We already know that high concentrations of arsenic in drinking water result in the highest known toxic substance disease risks from any environmental exposure,” says Allan Smith, M.D., Ph.D., a professor of epidemiology at the University of California, Berkeley. “So we should not be arguing to wait for years until we have results of epidemiologic studies at lower arsenic intake, such as from rice consumption, to take action.” His studies of arsenic in public water in Chile and Argentina helped show that it causes lung and bladder cancer and other diseases.


Dangers of Canola Rapeseed

Is Canola Oil Hazardous to Your Health? - Urban Legends
Rape oil was widely used in animal feeds in England and Europe between 1986 and 1991, when it was thrown out. Remember the "Mad Cow disease" scare, when millions of cattle in the UK were slaughtered in case of infecting humans? Cattle were being fed on a mixture containing material from dead sheep, and sheep suffer from a disease called "scrapie". It was thought this was how "Mad Cow" began and started to infiltrate the human chain. What is interesting is that when rape oil was removed from animal feed, 'scrapie' disappeared. We also haven't seen any further reports of "Mad Cow" since rape oil was removed from the feed.

Selling Reactions

Q & A with Bar Rescue's Jon Taffer: "Everything is to Make Money" - Los Angeles - Restaurants and Dining - Squid Ink
See, the fact of the matter is, it's not the plate of food, it's the reaction. The plate of food is just the vehicle. I will design that plate 500 times until you sit up.

He or she who creates the best reactions wins. That's the business. We don't play music, we play reactions. We achieve it through music, don't we? I don't sell beer, I create reactions. I achieve it through selling beer. And there are manipulative ways--behavioral sciences--that we employ to get you to come to my bar, spend more money, stay longer, dance more than you usually would, smile more than you usually would, meet more people than you usually would and have a better time than you usually would. That's the science.

And the way we do it is by understanding that we are in a business of reactions. Everything we do is never the product or the purchase. The reaction always is. It's always a vehicle.

So that being said, I own the term 'reaction management.' It's a trademarked term that I own. And then to create reaction management principles we have something called GROW. Guest Reaction Opportunity Windows. Moments of time when I mesh with you.
