Will and Kate’s royal honeymoon: Prepare to be jealous

If there was ever a time to abuse their power, it's on their royal honeymoon. Kate and William can go anywhere in the world now that they're newlyweds and they've chosen North Island: a small, isolated archipelago in the Seychelles owned by a guy named Farhad Vladi. "Yes, we rented the island to the British royal family," Vladi told a Hamburg newspaper. "Prince William and his Kate are spending their honeymoon there. But you will understand that we are not saying anything further."
Click for more images of William and Kate's honeymoon spot
Actually, he's already said enough. You'd think after brokering deals with Diana Ross and the Shah of Iran, Vladi would know how to keep a secret. Now that he's shared, we don't feel so bad poring over the details of their destination love-nest. Here are some factoids William is probably reading in his Frommer's right now.
  • North Island is about 600 acres and it's surrounded by cliffs and coconut trees.
  • There are more tortoises than people on the island. Some are as old as 150.
  • It's only a boat-ride away from Kate and Will's vacation destination in 2007. They reportedly patched up their relationship at Desroches Island Resort, another luxury escape, which they checked into as "Martin and Rosemary Middleton."
  • Other celebrities who have vacationed here include Roger Moore (aka James Bond) and Posh and Becks.
  • P&B chose the location for their getaway in 2009, because "the security makes it like a spy base," a source told the Press Association. Since when do spy bases have thatched roofs?
  • There are 11 villas that overlook the beach on North Island
  • Each villa has a plunge pool
  • And a butler type...not that that's anything new for William.
  • It's an ethically conscious resort. Here's an example of what that means: the villas are set back from the beach to provide enough distance that they don't disorient the tortoises that lay their eggs in the sand.
  • That also means you can watch tortoises give birth as you lounge by the ocean. Talk about entertainment.
  • Guests receive a 20 minute massage upon arrival to "ease" them into island life, according to the North Island website. I'd love to meet the person who's having trouble relaxing.
  • A movie called "Thunderbirds" was shot there . Bill Paxton is in it, case you're wondering.
  • The bar and restaurant in the villa is built on an upturned tree.
  • An ecologist who lives on the island offers nature tours for guests. He has a good job.
  • The gallery attached to this post will make you relaxed at first and then outraged at the fact that only royalty, ecologists and giant turtles get to enjoy this island.
  • Back in the '70s, the island was only inhabited by rats and cats.
  • That sounds a lot like most New York City apartments. Maybe there's hope for us yet.

Rotavirus
Rotavirus is the most common cause of severe diarrhoea among infants and young children,[1] and is one of several viruses that cause infections often called stomach flu, despite having no relation to influenza. It is a genus of double-stranded RNA virus in the family Reoviridae. By the age of five, nearly every child in the world has been infected with rotavirus at least once.[2] However, with each infection, immunity develops, and subsequent infections are less severe;[3] adults are rarely affected.[4] There are five species of this virus, referred to as A, B, C, D, and E.[5] Rotavirus A, the most common, causes more than 90% of infections in humans.
The virus is transmitted by the faecal-oral route. It infects and damages the cells that line the small intestine and causes gastroenteritis. Although rotavirus was discovered in 1973[6] and accounts for up to 50% of hospitalisations for severe diarrhoea in infants and children,[7] its importance is still not widely known within the public health community, particularly in developing countries.[8] In addition to its impact on human health, rotavirus also infects animals, and is a pathogen of livestock.[9]
Rotavirus is usually an easily managed disease of childhood, but worldwide more than 500,000 children under five years of age still die from rotavirus infection each year[10] and almost two million more become severely ill.[8] In the United States, before initiation of the rotavirus vaccination programme, rotavirus caused about 2.7 million cases of severe gastroenteritis in children, almost 60,000 hospitalisations, and around 37 deaths each year.[11] Public health campaigns to combat rotavirus focus on providing oral rehydration therapy for infected children and vaccination to prevent the disease.[12]

[edit] History

Computer–aided reconstruction of a rotavirus based on several electron micrographs
In 1943, Jacob Light and Horace Hodes proved that a filterable agent in the faeces of children with infectious diarrhoea also caused scours (livestock diarrhoea) in cattle.[13] Three decades later, preserved samples of the agent were shown to be rotavirus.[14] In the intervening years, a virus in mice[15] was shown to be related to the virus causing scours.[16] In 1973, Ruth Bishop described related viruses found in children with gastroenteritis.[6][17]
In 1974, Thomas Henry Flewett suggested the name rotavirus after observing that, when viewed through an electron microscope, a rotavirus particle looks like a wheel (rota in Latin);[18][19] the name was officially recognised by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses four years later.[20] In 1976, related viruses were described in several other species of animals.[16] These viruses, all causing acute gastroenteritis, were recognised as a collective pathogen affecting humans and animals worldwide.[18] Rotavirus serotypes were first described in 1980,[21] and in the following year, rotavirus from humans was first grown in cell cultures derived from monkey kidneys, by adding trypsin (an enzyme found in the duodenum of mammals and now known to be essential for rotavirus to replicate) to the culture medium.[22] The ability to grow rotavirus in culture accelerated the pace of research, and by the mid-1980s the first candidate vaccines were being evaluated.[23]
In 1998, a rotavirus vaccine was licensed for use in the United States. Clinical trials in the United States, Finland, and Venezuela had found it to be 80 to 100% effective at preventing severe diarrhoea caused by rotavirus A, and researchers had detected no statistically significant serious adverse effects.[24][25] The manufacturer, however, withdrew it from the market in 1999, after it was discovered that the vaccine may have contributed to an increased risk for intussusception, a type of bowel obstruction, in one of every 12,000 vaccinated infants.[26] The experience provoked intense debate about the relative risks and benefits of a rotavirus vaccine.[27] In 2006, two new vaccines against rotavirus A infection were shown to be safe and effective in children,[28] and in June 2009 the World Health Organization recommended that rotavirus vaccination be included in all national immunisation programmes to provide protection against this virus.[29]
[edit] Signs and symptoms
Rotavirus gastroenteritis is a mild to severe disease characterised by vomiting, watery diarrhoea, and low-grade fever. Once a child is infected by the virus, there is an incubation period of about two days before symptoms appear.[30] Symptoms often start with vomiting followed by four to eight days of profuse diarrhoea. Dehydration is more common in rotavirus infection than in most of those caused by bacterial pathogens, and is the most common cause of death related to rotavirus infection.[31]
Rotavirus A infections can occur throughout life: the first usually produces symptoms, but subsequent infections are typically asymptomatic,[4] as the immune system provides some protection.[2] Consequently, symptomatic infection rates are highest in children under two years of age and decrease progressively towards 45 years of age.[32][33] Infection in newborn children, although common, is often associated with mild or asymptomatic disease;[34][35] the most severe symptoms tend to occur in children six months to two years of age, the elderly, and those with compromised or absent immune system functions. Due to immunity acquired in childhood, most adults are not susceptible to rotavirus; gastroenteritis in adults usually has a cause other than rotavirus, but asymptomatic infections in adults may maintain the transmission of infection in the community.[36] Symptomatic reinfections are often due to a different rotavirus A serotype.[3][37]
[edit] Transmission
Many rotavirus particles packed together, which all look similar
http://bits.wikimedia.org/skins-1.17/common/images/magnify-clip.png
Rotavirus A from the faeces of an infected child
Rotavirus is transmitted by the faecal-oral route, via contact with contaminated hands, surfaces and objects,[38] and possibly by the respiratory route.[1] The faeces of an infected person can contain more than 10 trillion infectious particles per gram;[4] only 10–100 of these are required to transmit infection to another person.[39]
Rotaviruses are stable in the environment and have been found in estuary samples at levels as high as 1–5 infectious particles per US gallon.[40] Sanitary measures adequate for eliminating bacteria and parasites seem to be ineffective in control of rotavirus, as the incidence of rotavirus infection in countries with high and low health standards is similar.[1]
[edit] Disease mechanisms

http://bits.wikimedia.org/skins-1.17/common/images/magnify-clip.png
Electron micrograph of a rotavirus infected enterocyte (top) compared to an uninfected cell (bottom). The bar = approx. 500 nm
The diarrhoea is caused by multiple activities of the virus. Malabsorption occurs because of the destruction of gut cells called enterocytes. The toxic rotavirus protein NSP4 induces age- and calcium ion-dependent chloride secretion, disrupts SGLT1 transporter-mediated reabsorption of water, apparently reduces activity of brush-border membrane disaccharidases, and possibly activates the calcium ion-dependent secretory reflexes of the enteric nervous system.[41][42] Healthy enterocytes secrete lactase into the small intestine; milk intolerance due to lactase deficiency is a particular symptom of rotavirus infection,[43][44] which can persist for weeks.[45] A

There are many application tools for twitter and facebook which helps you to simply grow your network with more targeted followers/fans. Find a handy tool which makes this process simpler.
Recently, i tried Buzzom especially to manage my twitter account, its good.
Common Blog Marketing Methods.
Apart from these marketing approaches, there are few commonly followed methods. These methods are unavoidable and you must pay attention to use these methods also.
  • Guest Posting – Write guest posts on popular blogs on your topic which creates more visibility about your blog to wider audience. It also gives back you traffic/links. Want to write a guest post on this blog ?
  • Article Marketing – Write articles and submit them to article sharing sites like ezinearticles, articlebase etc. Use Hubpages, Squidoo and link back to your blog from your hub/lens. Learn article marketing tips.
  • Blog Commenting – Write comments on other blogs in your topic which encourages to find new people and also you will get some traffic, exposure. This blog is dofollow !
  • Using Forum – Use forums to discuss with similar people and it helps to show that you are master in your topic. Help other forum users. Add your blog link to signature too. Learn forum marketing tips.
  • Bookmarking Sites – Use bookmarking sites like Digg, Mixx, Stumble etc. to spread your articles. Encourage your network to promote your shared articles too. It drives lot of quick traffic.

Conclusion.

Finally, marketing a blog from scratch is not a simple task. It requires investment of more time and you have to work smarter. And you could not see the results immediately. You must need patience.
A simply branded blog with useful information which gives a purpose to visit, promotes by itself with little marketing steps !
Idea: There are many disadvantages for building a site from scratch. If you don’t want to struggle with all these methods, simply buy an established blog !

Obviously, you will get motivated and recharged back to normal phase.
Have a break to propel yourself.
Having too much focused on the work makes you to go down sometimes. Your thinking capacity may become less active. So don’t force yourself to work. Have regular breaks and that brings back the energy. You will get propelled yourself when you are taking a break. This actually reduces your stress and keeps you less tensed. So take often breaks.
Your goals to success.
Do you have any goal with your online business ? List down your business goals. It is enough to have smaller goals as you are flexible to work from home. But at the same time, plan your working time and also define an earning goal. Just think off, what are the future activities you are planning for your success ? Stick to that goal and work towards the same.
Have a working schedule in your home.
You should have a working schedule because you may be busy with your day job. And finding time to work for your online business could be tough. In that situation, you have to follow a schedule. Plan each day of the week and have a constant working time. That really works good and improves your productivity. That keeps yourself from losing the motivation.
All these tips really helps you to keep the motivation in running your online business. If you are working hard, feeling stress then giving up a break may help you to recover from that stress. So you know your goal and you know what to do ? you know for what reason you are doing this business ? In short, you must be clear in your business path.
You have to plan ahead and work accordingly because you may not be earning a huge money today but the situation may change. But if you have the motivation in place irrespective of the situation, you will win. You have to understand the current situation, make the plans for the future and work.
Always keep your goal in mind and think for why you are working from home ? You have the freedom to work anytime and you are your own boss. Always keep yourself motivated to make your online business into a successful one.

This article is intended to teach folks how to start an online store in a free to low cost way [rates and qualifies emerging technologies for starting an online store]and is based upon a series of articles written in my blog: Starting An Online Store - The How To Blog.
  • Choose a tightly focused theme or niche for your online store around something that you are passionate or knowledgeable about. By focusing on a specific theme for your store, you'll garner a competitive advantage over other stores that are larger and forced to be broader in nature. This specific focus will give your store more credibility, and will position you to provide detailed information about certain kinds of products. Customers will appreciate the level of coverage you provide on a given subject, which will be helpful for making purchasing decisions. Essentially, this focus gives your store a right to exist.

    Choose an underlying infrastructure for your online store. Many people are surprised to learn that there are now a number of ecommerce services that allow you to start an online store for free, or for limited cost. One good free way to get started is to open a Vendio store:
    http://www.vendio.com/ecommerce/free-ecommerce-site
    Vendio's new ecommerce solution is game-changing because it allows you to start a real online store with a full commercial feature-set, for free. Given all the features, setting up an online store with Vendio will take a few hours of work, but its worth it. There are a number of solutions available that are similar to Vendio's for a price range of $40 to $300 per month.
    Another way to get started quickly is to open a Zlio store.
    http://setup.zlio.com
    With Zlio, you'll be able to sell products from buy.com and other brand name merchants and earn a commission on every sale. The upside of Zlio is that its fast, and its free. The challenge with Zlio is its limited feature set.
    Another reasonable option for starting a free online store is CafePress.

    With CafePress, you can start an online shop for free selling merchandise that you design [like customized t-shirts, posters, bumperstickers etc] and then generate earnings paid out monthly.
    Additionally, if you're willing to pay a monthly fee, some folks like Yahoo Merchant Services.

    With Yahoo, you'll pay a monthly fee in exchange for the framework of an online store. The upside of Yahoo is that you can sell, carry, and fulfill your own inventory of products (rather than outsourcing it through Zlio or CafePress). The downside of Yahoo is that, well, you get to fulfill your own inventory of products.
    Lastly, I'm going to give a quick mention to FlyingCart, which offers a service similar to Yahoo's but with less expensive monthly fees.
    http://www.flyingcart.com
    With FlyingCart, you get the basic architecture/framework of an online store and generally have to pay a monthly fee less than that of Yahoo. There are also some interesting social networking features. It lets you sell, carry, and fulfill your own inventory.
    All things considered, we recommend that folks start by setting up a Vendio store and then take things from there. Vendio is free, which makes it a good way to learn about starting an online store. http://www.vendio.com/ecommerce/free-ecommerce-site

    Build-out your product inventory. Be careful to put the best products at the top of the page. Product placement counts and studies have shown that products placed at the top of the page tend to sell the best. Keep your inventory of products fresh. Try to write reviews that will help your customers make better puchasing decisions. Stay true to the theme of your store. Stay focused.

    Promote your store. Remember, this is not Field of Dreams. "If you build it they will come" will not apply to our new store! As entrepreneurs, its up to us to generate interest in our own online store. You should strongly consider writing some helpful articles about the products in your store and publishing them [give squidoo a try for this]. For instance, on my hot sauce store, The Hot Sauce Collector, I wrote a series of articles about The Hottest Hot Sauce In The World. These articles help my customers find the hottest hot sauces and consistently drive traffic to my site.

Tips & Warnings

  • This is not field of dreams! "If you build it they will come" will not apply to our new store! It's up to us as entrepreneurs to create interest in our new store.
  • Work hard to offer information that will help customers with buying decisions. Trust me -- they'll appreciate it.
  • Consider writing an article about your store's products. As mentioned in step 4, this could improve your search engine listings and will certainly improve your credibility.
  • Don't try to 'boil the ocean' and be all things to all people. Try to be disciplined about your store's focus on a specific theme.
  • Remember to stay focused and be patient.
  • Watch out for affiliate marketing schemes, ads touting work from home businesses or "online businesses".
  • In particular, watch out for large upfront costs. There are now plenty of free services for starting an online store - this is a great way to get started with no upfront cost and see if starting an online store is for you.
