Can you eat an anteater?
No, you cannot eat an anteater. Anteaters are a protected species and it is illegal to consume any part of these animals. In addition, many species of anteaters, like the giant anteater, have difficulty digesting food, making it even more unlikely that you could eat one.
In some parts of the world, anteaters are used in traditional medicine, and some people believe that consuming various parts of the animal can have health benefits. However, this is not a medically endorsed practice.
The World Wildlife Fund recommends against the consumption of any wildlife species for food, medicine, or any other purpose. It is also not advised to keep them as pets, as they are wild animals with specific needs that cannot be met in captivity.

Why is it called anteater?
No one can answer this question definitively since it is illegal to hunt and kill anteaters in many places around the world. However, it is generally assumed that they would have a similar taste to armadillos, which are closely related.
Armadillos are commonly consumed in some parts of Central and South America, and have a flavor that is described as being a cross between pork and chicken.
No, anteaters are generally not harmful to humans. Anteaters are not carnivorous animals, so they do not actively seek out prey, including humans. They feed on ants and other small invertebrates, so they are not usually a threat to people.
In fact, as long as people do not come too close to an anteater, they should not be a problem. Anteaters have a lot of defense mechanisms that they use to protect themselves from potential predators, including their long snouts, sharp claws, and powerful front legs.
All of these features help them avoid potential danger, so they are typically not a threat to humans.
Cooking an anteater is not recommended since anteaters are listed as a vulnerable or endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Unfortunately, anteaters have been illegally hunted and eaten in some regions of Central and South America, so it is important that we give these majestic creatures the respect and preservation they deserve.
If you must cook an anteater, it is best to start by hunting the anteater humanely. As with any animal, you'll want to make sure you have obtained a hunting license and have access to safe weapons. Once you have a captured an anteater, you will need to butcher it and remove the hide.
The meat may be tough and taste gamey, so you will likely want to braise or stew it to help tenderize it and bring out the flavor. Alternatively, the meat can be ground and added to a spicy seasoning or sauce to give it a more palatable texture.
As with all animal meats, you must ensure that you have cooked the meat thoroughly until it reaches the proper temperature. This will help ensure that no bacteria or parasites are present in the meat.
Once the meat is cooked, it can be served as part of main course with sides or incorporated into tacos and other dishes.
Overall, it is best to appreciate and observe anteaters in the wild rather than hunt and consume them. It is also important to recognize and obey all local, state, and federal laws regarding the hunting and consumption of wildlife.
Overall, anteaters are considered to be harmless animals. They are generally not aggressive, and in most cases will try to avoid confrontation with humans whenever possible. The main defense mechanism anteaters have is their long tongue, which they can use to catch and consume ants and other invertebrates, their main source of food.
However, they are capable of inflicting injuries with their sharp claws, so it is wise to exercise caution when in close proximity to them.
That being said, there have been some reports indicating that anteaters may attack humans, particularly if they are feeling threatened or are startled. While such attacks are rare, it is important to remain cautious when around an anteater and to respect the animal's natural boundaries.
In addition, there have been cases in which anteaters have contracted rabies, which can further increase the potential for harm.
Yes, anteaters tongues are very sticky! The tongues of anteaters have evolved over time to be that way, and are actually covered in tiny hair-like structures called papillae. These tiny structures help the anteater pick up more termites, ant and other bugs from their nests.
Anteaters have a special gland on their tongue which secretes a sticky substance. When the tongue is retracted, the papillae press against the gland, releasing the sticky fluid that helps attach the tongue to potential prey.
This sticky fluid, along with the abrasive action of the papillae, ensures that the prey cannot escape the anteater's grasp.
Anteaters are able to protect themselves from being bitten by utilizing their powerful forelimbs and sharp claws to wedge themselves between the ground and the ant nest. This helps to keep them safe and away from the biting mandibles of the ants.
In addition, anteaters have a long, narrow snout that is equipped with a slimy tongue which helps them to lick up ants without having to use their mouth, thus avoiding being bitten by them. The specialized saliva of the anteater also helps to subdue their prey and keep them from biting the anteater in the process.
Lastly, anteaters have a very thick and tough hide which helps to protect them from being bitten as ants themselves don't possess the strength to bite through it.
The laziest predator would likely have to be the Koala. Koalas are the epitome of laziness, often spending the majority of the day sleeping or resting in the same spot for hours on end. They typically only travel short distances when migrating to new areas.
Koalas consume a diet of eucalyptus leaves, which require little to no effort to find, as they stick to a set territory and rarely leave that area to search for new food. The koalas often remain motionless for so long, that it almost looks as if they've been taken.
Anteaters can carry a wide range of diseases, some of which can be zoonotic or contagious and affect humans. Some of the diseases they carry include: Salmonella, Echinococcosis, Leishmaniasis, Chagas Disease, Lyme Disease, Rabies, Cryptosporidiosis, and Giardiasis.
In addition to the previously mentioned diseases, they can also carry a variety of other parasites, bacteria, and fungi. While many of these diseases can be treated, others can be fatal, so it is important to take preventive measures to protect yourself and your family from contact with anteaters.
Proper sanitation, safety precautions when handling an anteater, and regular veterinary checkups are all important steps to preventing the spread of these diseases.
Many species of animals have evolved to not have any teeth at all. For example, turtles have a hard beak instead of teeth. Bony fish have smooth, toothless jaws, and some sharks have a nearly toothless mouth due to the large, fleshy lips covering their teeth.
Anteaters and sloths have long, sticky tongues to capture food and no teeth. Whales, dolphins, and manatees, have baleen plates that strain smaller organisms from seawater, and virtually no teeth are needed for this purpose.
Many types of worms, including flatworms, have no teeth but many tiny, stiff bristles near their mouth to help sweep food into their digestive tract. Even some mammals, such as the Antechinus marsupial shrew, lack teeth and use thick lips to capture softer insects.
Birds, of course, don't have teeth either, but instead swallow stones that sit in their gizzard and help them grind their food.
No, armadillos do not carry any known sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). While it is true that some people have contracted leprosy, or Hansen's disease, from contact with armadillos, there have been no reports of any other STDs being transmitted from armadillos to humans.
Instead, this transmission only occurs when humans are exposed to the same contaminated environment as armadillos. For example, if humans come into contact with an armadillo's urine, feces, or saliva, or if the armadillo is caught and handled during the process.
Leprosy is a bacterial infection that can be spread from humans to armadillos, and from armadillos to humans, if proper hygiene practices are not observed. Prevention involves keeping armadillos away from areas where humans are living or working, wearing protective gear when handling armadillos, and washing your hands thoroughly after contact with them.
No, anteaters cannot tear through concrete. They do not have the strength or tools necessary to break through the tough material of concrete. Anteaters are not equipped with the powerful teeth or claws needed to penetrate such a hard substance.
Moreover, anteaters rely primarily on their long, sticky tongues and claws to capture prey, so attempting to pierce through concrete would be far beyond their capabilities.
The cost of an anteater varies greatly depending on a number of factors. Generally speaking, pet anteaters can range in cost from several hundred to several thousand dollars. The cost will depend on the species of anteater, age, and where you are purchasing it from.
In general, Tamandua and Giant anteaters tend to be more expensive than the Silky anteaters. Young anteaters will typically cost a bit less than adults. Lastly, the cost of an anteater will also vary depending on the breeder or seller.
Some breeders or exotic pet stores may charge a premium for an anteater, while others may be considerably less.
No, aardvarks and anteaters are not the same thing. Aardvarks are mammals native to Africa, whereas anteaters are found in Central and South America. Aardvarks have an elongated snout and rabbit-like ears, while anteaters have a longer, thinner snout.
They also have different diets; aardvarks typically eat ants and termites, while anteaters feed upon insects like beetles and cockroaches. In addition, aardvarks have short, robust legs while anteaters have longer, thinner legs that enable them to move quickly and climb trees.
Finally, aardvarks are usually solitary animals, whereas anteaters may live in small groups.
The anteater got its name from its habit of eating ants and other small insects. Anteaters have a long, sticky tongue that they use to lap up anthills and eat any ants or other small insects they find there.
In addition to ants, anteaters also eat termites, beetles and larvae. Anteaters have long front claws to help them dig up the anthills they find, while the back claws help the anteater move quickly and smoothly.
The velvety fur of the anteater's body can range in color from gray to yellow, depending on the species. Anteaters have a long snout and a long, bushy tail which helps them balance as they move.
The name "anteater" might have derived from the Spanish word for ant, hormiga, and the Latin word for eating, edere, making the combination "hormigedere" or "ant-eating" which eventually evolved into the word "anteater".
Other possibilities include the Portuguese "formhiguer", the French "fourmiller", the German "ammeiseness" or the Dutch "mieraremmers". All of these possibilities suggest that the name was given to the creature for its habit of eating ants and other small insects.

Shaun Returns To Manchester After Testicular Cancer
A man who was diagnosed with testicular cancer and ran the Simplyhealth Great Manchester Run while undergoing treatment is set to return to the event this year now that he is in remission.
Shaun Carroll, from Stockport, was diagnosed with testicular cancer at the end of 2017. Following his diagnosis, he underwent surgery to remove one of his testicles.
He then began training for the 2018 Simplyhealth Great Manchester Run, despite still going through aftercare appointments from his surgery. Just two weeks after the run last May, during one of his appointments he was given the bad news that the cancer had spread to a lymph node in his stomach.
He then went through nine weeks of chemotherapy at the Christie in Manchester, which included overnight stays at the complex. During this time he was admitted to hospital twice due to the side effects of the treatment.
Following the chemotherapy, Shaun became inspired to want to fundraise for the Christie charity after the level of care that he received there. This year, he aims to return to the Simplyhealth Great Manchester Run on Sunday 19 May to raise money for the Christie and run under an hour, which he has never achieved before.
Shaun, 35, said: "At the back end of 2017 I was diagnosed with testicular cancer to which I had an radical inguinal orchiectomy, meaning the affected testical was removed but with a little aftercare and follow up appointments I was well on the road to recovery.
"I trained for the 2018 Simplyhealth Great Manchester Run, and just like the year before I ran it but this time something felt different, I still can't explain why but it was different.
"I had a follow up appointment at the Christie just two weeks after the run, during this appointment I was told that unfortunately the cancer had spread to a lymph node in my stomach and chemotherapy was needed. This would be done over nine weeks which included overnight stays at Christie as well as outpatient day sessions. During this time I was also taken into hospital on two occasions with illness linked to the chemotherapy
"As part of my treat for testicular cancer I was referred to the Christie by the Urology department at Stepping Hill after my operation. Here I had all my scans and tests. The chemotherapy itself left me so sick to the point where I wasn't interested in food and slept for long hours, once leaving the hospital it would take days to get my appetite back and the more the treatment went on the harder it was to just function.
"It seemed you would just about becoming able to operate again when you're cycle finished and it was time to go back in and start again. " I was inspired to run so I could give something back to The Christie. It's a great way to raise money for the place that got me through everything thrown at me.
"It's also helped inspire my family and colleagues to run which is great for not only the charity but getting and keeping us all fit and healthy."
The Christie is among over one hundred charities that will be represented on the Simplyhealth Great Manchester Run start line on Sunday 19 May. 30,000 people take on an incredible day of sport in the city, which features a 10k, half marathon and junior and mini distance in Manchester city centre.
The event is Manchester's most loved running event and is the third largest running event in the country.
The dad of two added: "I have a personal battle with this event, this will be the third time I've taken part and I'm still trying to achieve a sub 1 hour time.
"I think the event itself is second to none and a fantastic way to raise money for charity, it's a well known and recognised run which I believe gives you a great opportunity to raise as much as you can."

37 Cliff Street Whitby
a family owned self catering holiday cottage in Whitby
Where are we in Whitby?
37 Cliff Street, Whitby, YO21 3DD
Whitby is a picturesque fishing town on the coast of North Yorkshire, England, UK. Our holiday cottage is in the heart of Whitby on a narrow, quiet street on the west side of the harbour. It enjoys stunning views across the harbour to the abbey, and is within close walking distance of shops and the beach.
Getting there and away
Travelling up from the South, Whitby can be reached from the A1 by taking the A64 past York in the direction of Scarborough, then the A169 from Malton to Pickering and over the North Yorks Moors.
From the North, cross from the A1 to the A19. Going through Middlesbrough take the A174, then turn off to the A171 through Guisborough and over the North Yorks Moors to Whitby.
Parking spaces can be found on the streets nearby, and we provide parking permits for the local parking zone. Please note that there is no off-road parking at 37 Cliff Street and Cliff Street itself is no parking (except for loading and unloading).
By train and bus
Whitby is at the end of the Esk Valley train line, which runs from Middlesbrough to Whitby. From the East Coast Mainline, change at York or Darlington to Middlesbrough and then to the Esk Valley line. The Esk Valley line itself is beautiful, running through the North York Moors national park, and if you have the time this journey is worth taking for its own sake, but this route is not the quickest.
Instead you may also want to consider taking the train to Scarborough (change from the East Coast Mainline at York) and then the bus to Whitby (bus X93, timetable) which leaves from outside the station.
Details of train routes and timetables can be found at National Rail Enquiries.
Details of regional buses to Whitby from York, Middlesbrough, Scarborough and elsewhere can be found on the North Yorkshire County Council website.

Social neuroscience and health: neurophysiological mechanisms linking social ties with physical health

Neuronal physiology
Although considerable research has shown the importance of social connection for physical health, little is known about the higher-level neurocognitive processes that link experiences of social connection or disconnection with health-relevant physiological responses. Here we review the key physiological systems implicated in the link between social ties and health and the neural mechanisms that may translate social experiences into downstream health-relevant physiological responses. Specifically, we suggest that threats to social connection may tap into the same neural and physiological 'alarm system' that responds to other critical survival threats, such as the threat or experience of physical harm. Similarly, experiences of social connection may tap into basic reward-related mechanisms that have inhibitory relationships with threat-related responding. Indeed, the neurocognitive correlates of social disconnection and connection may be important mediators for understanding the relationships between social ties and health.

A nastier impeachment
United StatesOct 10th 1998 edition
DESPITE its magnificent success, America is prone to odd bouts of declinism. It worries about its economy, even when times are good; it moans about its politics, even when government is reasonably small and reasonably efficient. These days American pessimism is directed towards the impeachment proceedings against Bill Clinton. The temper of the times, it is conventionally supposed, is meaner and tawdrier than in the past: more partisan, less statesmanlike. For goodness sake, cheer up. Things were a lot nastier in 1868, during the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson.
Johnson had some things in common with Mr Clinton. Like him, he was a centrist Democrat, a southerner who grew up poor, a president who faced a Congress dominated by Republican opponents. Like Mr Clinton, he was possessed of some rhetorical skill; like Mr Clinton, he neglected to cultivate friends in Congress. Johnson would go off round the country, attempting to get the upper hand with Congress by winning the public to his side.
But there the parallels fade: Johnson was far more obnoxious. He would antagonise key lawmakers needlessly; during one unhappy meeting, he used Senator Charles Sumner's hat as a spittoon. His attitudes to race, even allowing for the temper of the times, were even worse than Mr Clinton's attitudes to sex. "This is a country for white men," he said in 1865, "and by God, as long as I am president, it shall be a government for white men."
Today's pessimists complain that the House is rushing to impeach Mr Clinton without pausing to weigh the consequences for America's constitutional balance. Back in 1868, the House impeached Johnson with a haste that makes the current pace seem glacial. One day Johnson fired his war secretary, an ally of Congress. The next day a House committee met to consider a resolution of impeachment. "It was but a few moments," the New York Times reported, "ere it was discovered that the seven Republican members of the Committee were unanimous in the opinion that Mr Johnson's action of yesterday was such a palpable violation of the law." The committee adjourned for one hour, time enough for a report to be prepared for presentation to the full House; two days later, the House approved it.
Modern life, according to the declinist view, is lamentably tinged by media sensationalism, which drives politicians to grandstand before a frenzied populace. The day impeachment proceedings began in 1868, the New York Times reported that "the galleries of the House were full long before twelve o'clock before one the lobbies and the cloak-rooms overflowed with ladies." The politicians, untroubled by the absence of televised talk shows, missed no opportunity for grandiloquence. "This trial has developed, in the most remarkable manner, the insane love of speaking among public men " complained James Garfield, congressman and future president. "We have been wading knee-deep in words, words, words and are but little more than half across the turbid stream."
These days, too, partisanship is much decried. But Johnson was impeached for no other reason than that Congress virulently despised his politics. True, he had violated a law against firing cabinet officials without the Senate's say-so; but this law had been recently cooked up by Congress to trap him, and was later ruled unconstitutional. Even before the firing, the congressional Republicans had been on Johnson's tail. In January 1867 Congressman James Ashley of Ohio moved a resolution to impeach, apparently on the theory that every vice-president who had succeeded to the presidency had had a hand in the death of his predecessor. The House inspected the diary of John Wilkes Booth, whose assassination of Lincoln had brought Johnson to power; it noted that 18 pages of the document were missing, a mysterious fact which fuelled the kind of conspiracy theories that now infect today's Republican and Democratic fringes. When the assassination trail led nowhere, the House raked over Johnson's private financial dealings and bank accounts.
Set against all this, today's impeachment proceedings look positively edifying. The Republican majority in Congress has embarked on an inquiry almost reluctantly, and only after being confronted with presidential wrongdoing that left little alternative. No congressman, not even the wackiest firebrand, suggests that Mr Clinton should be impeached, as Johnson was, simply because his policies are bad. American democracy, contrary to the declinist fear, has become more tempered in dealing with partisan tension than it used to be.
This increased maturity, moreover, owes much to Johnson's fate. After he was impeached in the House, Johnson underwent a chaotic Senate trial that ultimately resulted in his acquittal. At the outset, nobody could agree on the most basic ground rules. But, by the end, one central argument had been resolved. The Senate decided that it would not impeach Johnson merely because it disagreed with him, as though it were conducting the sort of no-confidence vote common in parliamentary systems. It resolved, instead, that impeachment required proof of specific wrongdoing; and that this wrongdoing must be serious.
One book on Johnson's impeachment, published in 1992, concludes with the following judgment. After Johnson's acquittal, the author writes, it was settled that "impeachment would not be a referendum on the public official's performance in office; instead, it would be a judicial type of inquiry in which specific charges were made by the House of Representatives, evidence was received before the Senate, and the senators would decide whether or not the charges were proven."
This verdict is of more than academic interest: its author is William Rehnquist, the man who, as America's chief justice, would preside over a Senate trial of Mr Clinton. It is exceedingly unlikely that, with Mr Rehnquist standing by, the president's day of judgment would be allowed to deteriorate into a demeaning witch hunt, whatever the pessimists' predictions.

The Shroud of Turin: Whose face is that?
Some say it's Jesus Christ's burial wrapping, others say it's a medieval fake. Either way, how does the Turin Shroud come to bear a man's image? I've said before that one of the primary reasons for the prevalence in the modern age of the vampire myth is that it is, in truth, inverted Christianity. Both…

Blue Bottles and Slave Graveyards
I grew up in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains.

When I was a stranger, you welcomed me…
As bishop of the Texas-Louisiana Gulf Coast Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, I am deeply saddened by the terrorist attacks of the last week, in Paris, Beirut, Baghdad, Egypt, and across the Middle East. DAESH (ISIS) is an illness that seeks to cultivate fear and mistrust. Our prayers are with all victims of violence and their families.
DAESH is under fire by France, Russia, the United States, and others. Its short history won't last. DAESH wants us to hate refugees.
Every day, Syrians—including Christians persecuted for their faith—are being tortured, murdered, bombed, and traumatized. Of the millions of Syrian refugees, the United States offers to settle a small number—just 10,000 people over the next year. To close the door on resettling Syrian refugees would be signing a death warrant for thousands of families fleeing for their lives.
Are we prepared to say, as we approach the Christmas season, that there is no room in the inn?
During World War II, there were fears about terrorism by Japanese immigrants living in the United States. These fears led, regrettably, to internment camps. Similar fears—also unfounded—existed about Germans fleeing Nazi Germany. Jews were denied visas, most notably the family of Anne Frank. On June 4, 1939, the passenger ship SS St. Louis, with more than 900 Jewish passengers on board, was turned away from Florida, and the ship returned to Europe. More than 250 of the passengers ultimately died in Nazi death camps.
Jesus once told the story of a man who was beaten, robbed, and left for dead. The priest and the Levite passed by, no doubt in fear for their own safety. Only the Good Samaritan—a member of a despised ethnic group—stopped.
I hear the concerns for safety of the U.S. public. The Departments of State and Homeland Security can answer these questions. About 70,000 refugees are resettled in this country every year. They are the most-vetted community in the U.S. Half of those fleeing are children; half are women. Only 2 percent are men of the age of combatants; these men are primarily professional Syrians who have the resources to flee.
Let us not allow fear and rumors of threats to keep us from extending the welcome that is central to our American identity and, for many of us, our faith.

The heART of the artistry
Artists are known to put their hearts and souls into each creation. Sometimes it really shows.
Les Caison III, program director for the Randolph Arts Guild, is known for his award-winning, mixed media piece, "A Lovely Brick Wall." Painted on masonite board, three figures rendered in charcoal move through three-dimensional brick panels as a grouping of hearts float through the foreground. For Caison, it's about the juxtaposition of ideas.
"People talk about hitting a wall," he says, meaning they've come to a blockage. "But my thought was, what if it's a lovely brick wall?"
"What if it's a necessary wall that forces you to slow down, reflect on what you are doing, where you are going? Would that be so bad?" he asks.
The same thought process motivated Caison's series of heart drawings on small 4-by-4-inch blocks of masonite. People talk of heartbreak as a negative emotion. For Caison, the word conjured the image of hearts, hardened by life experiences, opening to possibilities.
He began to explore the concept with the creation of a series of 50 pieces of art. Simply drawing the hearts had an immediacy to the act, he says.
"You do just two quick loops. One, two and you've got a heart," Caison says.
But the variety was expansive. Fat hearts, skinny hearts, sinewy hearts, big ones, tiny ones – the possibilities were enlightening. All the while, Caison says the work awakened in him a world of heartfelt memories – bad ones and good.
Philip Shore, a local artist and theater actor, says for the past several years he has drawn or painted hearts. Some of them, he says, don't look much like hearts.
"Hearts are one of the universal symbols," he says. "I mostly subtract the Valentine meaning and twiddle with the symbols to keep on proving that even the same thing is different, time after time. The viewer may invest whatever meaning she or he would care to; that's where much of perception lies, in the eyes, that is, of perceivers and not much of what the artist might be doing."
For a while, Shore painted his hearts on 11-by-13-inch paper. He had a popular showing of them in 2008 at The Moring Arts Center during which visitors were encouraged to take a piece of art home. But he says he got tired of the color and tired of size.
Now, he is creating pen and ink drawings on small, 2.5-by-3.5-inch squares of paper. He's already given away dozens. Shore says it's very compact to work on something small.
"There's no other equipment besides the paper and the pen," he says.
It really lets an artist get to the heart of the matter.

Apps To Manage Facebook Pages
By uh2roPosted on December 6, 2022
Apps To Manage Facebook Pages – Managing a Facebook page can be very time consuming. You need to create new content, generate engagement and stick to personalized messages all at the same time. Facebook Business Suite is Meta's answer to these needs.
Facebook Business Suite is a comprehensive solution for page management, providing Facebook marketers with a one-stop shop to streamline the process of managing a brand's presence on the platform.
However, the tool's interface takes some getting used to. In this post, we'll introduce you to the Facebook business community and show you how to get the most out of it.
Connect A Facebook Account To Vidyard
Facebook Business Suite is a free Facebook Page management tool that allows administrators (and some users with other roles) to manage Facebook Pages, Instagram accounts, and Messenger conversations from a single dashboard. Facebook Business Suite replaced the Facebook Page Manager apps.
You can use Business Suite on both desktop and mobile (you can download it for iOS here and Android here).
Business Manager has been around for several years and is essentially the predecessor to Business Suite. It allows you to manage assets such as pages, ad accounts, product catalogs (but only at a basic level) and user roles.
While marketers now have a choice between the two tools, it appears that Business Suite will eventually replace Facebook Business Manager. In Business Suite, you can do everything you could previously do in Business Manager, including managing company assets in Settings.
How To Contact Facebook: Steps To Access Facebook Support For Help
If you absolutely hate the new Facebook Business Suite (which is now actually the "Meta Business Suite"), there are instructions on how to switch back to Business Manager.
However, we strongly recommend that you upgrade to the new Business Suite, as we do not know when Business Manager will continue to be supported, and Business Suite offers much more powerful features.
Facebook Creator Studio and Facebook Business Suite are often confused because they have many overlapping features, especially when it comes to content creation and scheduling.
Facebook Creator Studio has a few more tricks up its sleeve. It includes advanced track setup options, monetization features, follow-up and royalty-free audio collection.
Easy Ways To Manage Multiple Facebook Pages (without Crying)
Overall, Facebook Business Suite seems more suited to brands with active advertising accounts, while Creator Studio will work best for creators.
If you want to go beyond simple post creation and scheduling, you can use Creative Studio with Business Suite.
Anyone doing business on Facebook (including Pages or Instagram accounts) should at least strongly consider Business Suite. If you have a lot of accounts to manage, you definitely should.
Facebook Business doesn't cost anything to use, but it offers many different benefits and features, and having them all bundled and organized is invaluable. It also facilitates teamwork, making the process easier whether you're one person doing it all or part of a large team.
Facebook: Make Your Profile Private In 6 Steps
Creating and planning news and stories is one of the most common uses of Business Suite. To do this, go to Posts and Stories from the menu on the left side of your dashboard.
In the post builder, you can write your copy, add an image or video, and set the location of your post. You can then add a link and even a call to action. Finally, you can select the account you want to post to. You can then publish it immediately or schedule it for later.
Facebook Business Suite includes a powerful set of Insights tools that you can use to see how your content is performing.
You will be able to see an overview of your company's performance. This includes a summary of your reach, audience statistics, past post performance and Instagram insights (if your Instagram account is linked).
Accounts Center: An Easier Way To Manage Features That Work Across Our Apps
Clicking on Results will give you an overview of your access to related Facebook pages and Instagram profiles.
When you click on Content, you will see a list of recent posts with performance data. Facebook will show your post's reach, likes and reactions, comments, shares, results, pay per result (if sponsored) and link clicks. Want to learn more about your page's audience? Click Audience to get demographics of your current audience as well as a snapshot of potential audiences. Adding new users and roles
Adding team members to your page can be an incredibly useful way to get extra support when it comes to content creation.
If you want to add more roles or new users to your Facebook page, go to All Tools in the left navigation menu. Then click Page Settings.
Connecting Facebook Groups And Troubleshooting Connections
From there, click on Page Roles. You can now see who is currently assigned a role on your page. If you want to add a new person, select their role (admin, editor, moderator, advertiser, analyst, or custom role) from the drop-down menu in the center of the page. Administrators have maximum access, so it is not recommended to make multiple users administrators of the page; instead, you can give users different access through roles like Advertiser (who can serve ads for you) and Analyst (who can access your insights). Editors and moderators can access most of the page without being able to remove you as an admin or delete the page.
Facebook and Instagram stories are some of the most interesting formats you can publish. Let's take a look at how to create a story in Facebook Business Suite.
Click Add Media to upload a photo or video to your story. You'll see a preview of your story and can choose whether you want to post it to Facebook, Instagram, or both.
If you want to add text or stickers, or even crop your Story image, now is the time. You can also add text to your story to add context. You can see all this in the example below.
How To Block Someone From A Page On Facebook
Decorate your story however you want, then click Share Story. Additionally, you can schedule your story to be published at a specific date and time. This gives you the flexibility to create content ahead of time, so you don't have to worry about creating and uploading it at the last minute.
Notice the Optimum Time button next to the blue Share Story button. When you click, it will share some of the best times to post stories based on analytics to help you get the most reach. It's always worth a look to get a good idea of when your stories can have the most impact.
Facebook Business Suite lets you view your social media content calendar, where you can see what's scheduled and (if needed) edit or reschedule posts accordingly. The calendar view includes both news and Facebook and Instagram stories.
Facebook allows Business Suite users to connect many powerful third-party tools that make managing your business easier.
How To Clear Your Facebook App's Cache On An Iphone
There are many applications that you can integrate with Facebook, including social media management tools (such as Hootsuite), appointment booking tools, development tools, e-commerce tools, and more.
If you want to add a third-party tool to Facebook Business Suite, just click on the tool you want. You must follow the instructions to install the integration. In most cases, your login information or API will be shared with a third-party tool.
The Meetings tool in Facebook Business Suite makes it easy for business owners to set up one-on-one meetings with customers and prospects.
To create appointments (or manage existing appointments), go to All Tools in the left navigation menu. Then, under Sell products and services, click Appointments.
How To Use Facebook Business Manager For Multiple Accounts
You will see all meetings and meeting requests in the dashboard. You can also create a new appointment manually by clicking the Create Appointment button.
You'll see a log of scheduled appointments in the Appointments tab. You can cancel or reschedule if needed.
Want to use Facebook Business Suite to manage sales on the platform? You can use Facebook Marketing Manager to create stores, catalogs and more on both Facebook and Instagram. Note that you will need to start using Facebook Business Manager before you can access your inventory or sales through Business Manager.
You need to create a store and/or catalog. Stores allow users to browse products in the Store tab of the Facebook and Instagram platforms, while catalogs allow you to integrate with your chosen e-commerce solution to promote the products you sell off-platform.
Setting Up Your Facebook Account
Once you've set it up, you'll be able to explore insights like platform inventory and sales.
If you need to list, add or remove services from your page, you can do so easily with Facebook Business Suite.
You can now enter specific information about your service. In addition to the name, it adds a photo, description, price and seniority (and is flexible or fixed). Be as detailed as necessary to help customers make an informed purchase choice.
Review your Services from time to time to ensure that your offering remains on-brand and that all pricing is correct. You can always add or remove services as needed without editing

Upcycling is the process of taking something that you don't want and altering it so that it becomes something you do want (the "reuse" of reduce, reuse and recycle). It's also an awesome opportunity for creativity.

The Bak Touk Fire earlier this month left 150 families – most of whom were already poor migrant families – without homes and without possessions. They are in need of emergency housing and bedding, food, clothing, school materials, bicycles and the means to rebuild businesses.

John Travolta Shares Tribute To Kelly Preston On First Mother's Day Since Her Death
John Travolta paid tribute to his late wife Kelly Preston on the first Mother's Day since her death. He took to Instagram on Mother's Day this past weekend to share a tender and heartfelt message to social media, alongside some throwback family photos.
"Dearest Kelly, you brought into my life three of the most wonderful children I have ever known. Thank you. We love and miss you. Happy Mother's Day," the message read.
John Travolta's heartfelt tribute to late wife, Kelly Preston
A post shared by John Travolta (@johntravolta)
In the first photo, Travolta and Preston are relaxing in bed, holding then-newborn son Benjamin with Ella resting her head on her dad's shoulder. The second photo shows Kelly holding their late son Jett, as Travolta stands nearby. Jett sadly passed away in 2009 at age 16 after suffering a seizure. Today, Ben is now 10 years old while Ella is 21. Kelly sadly died back in July 2020 after privately battling breast cancer.

Travolta has been open about his struggles and the overall grieving process he and his family have been going through. He actually admitted that he really didn't find any solace in the support he received from loved ones and thousands of fans. "The most important thing you can do to help another when they are in mourning is to allow them to live it and not complicate it with yours," he admitted. "I felt so saturated with everyone's sadness that I didn't know what to do."
Wishing love and light to the whole Travolta family.

CHINA-US: REPORTS THAT CHINA HAS INSTRUCTED ITS MILITARY PERSONNEL NOT TO FIRE THE FIRST SHOT IN ANY SITUATION WITH THE U.S.
The South China Morning Post (SCMP - August 11) quoting sources said Beijing had ordered pilots and naval officers to exercise restraint in the increasingly frequent stand-offs with US planes and warships and told them "not to fire the first shot" as Beijing looks to de-escalate tensions with the United States in the South China Sea. It said both sides have stepped up their operations in the disputed waters, increasing the risk of incidents that spiral out of control, but Beijing does not want to give American hawks the opportunity to escalate things further. The sources said despite tough public language dismissing the US carrier strike groups as "paper tigers", the PLA was wary of accidental clashes. The SCMP said a source close to the military also said Beijing had communicated through "various channels" to the US that it had told its military "never to fire first" in a goodwill gesture to keep the situation under control. He added "It's easy to give the order to shoot, but neither China nor the US is able to control the consequences. The current situation is highly tense and very dangerous."


The Centre de Recherches Interlangues sur la Signification en Contexte (CRISCO – Crosslanguage Research Centre on Meaning in Context) was first set up thanks to Jacques François, Claude Guimier and Nicole Le Querler. It has been managed by Jacques François, Franck Neveu, Nicole Le Querler, Pierre Larrivée and now by Eric Gilbert. This research team (EA 4255) is specialised in the analysis of the interconnection between syntax and semantics. It also deals with variation, the extended question of linguistic change, language typology and corpus linguistics. English and French are particularly focused on but an inter-language perspective is also very important to the team with studies on German, Chinese, Spanish, Finnish and Russian.
Simultaneously with our work on fundamental linguistics, the CRISCO has developed and designed several automatic language processing tools. For example, Anametre, the speech synthesis software program KALI for French, English and Wolof and the Dictionnaire Electronique des Synonymes (Electronic Dictionary of Synonyms).
The laboratory publishes the journal Syntaxe & Sémantique at the Presses Universitaires de Caen (Caen University Press). This journal is associated with the Bibliothèque de Syntaxe & Sémantique collection which is open to editorial projects in these areas. The CRISCO is highly committed to elaborating and disseminating research in linguistics and it organises several research events. This includes, colloquiums and study days, seminars and workshops, conferences and meetings between linguists. A linguistic approach to learning and teaching language is promoted by the Ecole d'été Didactique et Langue (DEL, Language and Didactics Summer School) which is open to teachers, lecturers and researchers.
The impact and significance of our research provides an ideal environment for distinguished foreign researchers, as it does for (post)doctoral and MSc students who are actively supported by a host of research training activities. The CRISCO supports national and international federative projects through its affiliation to the Institut de Linguistique Française (ILF, CNRS FR 2393) and develops solid partnerships with both French and foreign research centres of similar interest and impact.

Donald Fry: Value of city-owned hotel must be viewed in context
Posted by	Donald C Fry on	 Thursday, 01 August 2013 in Blog
By Donald C. Fry:
The 757-room Hilton Baltimore has been the subject of a recent flurry of media coverage that has cultivated a residual impression among some that the "money-losing" city-owned hotel is about to become a major fiscal drag on Baltimore City and its taxpayers.
The stories stem from an annual audit presented to city leaders in early July that reported a fifth consecutive loss -- $11.2 million in 2012 – by the five-year-old convention headquarters hotel on Pratt Street adjacent to Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
The hotel's operating revenues exceed its operating expenses, but are not yet at a level sufficient to cover its required debt-service payments.
As a result, proceeds in a more than $20 million reserve fund established as a safety net for meeting debt payments were drawn upon this year to make the payment on a $300.9 million revenue bond that was issued to fund hotel construction.
The news was hardly surprising, given that the hotel's early operating years have occurred during the worst recession in more than seven decades. But city officials are rightly taking prudent steps, such as holding hearings and engaging consultants to examine the city's options, including potentially selling the hotel.
Media coverage has generated published responses from industry experts and readers ranging from a local hospitality manager's suggestion that the hotel be awarded a slots license to calls that it be torn down from Orioles fans who don't like the way it looks from the ballpark.
It is, after all, the slow-news summer season.
However, before saving up for that blowout gambling weekend at the Hilton or gassing up the bulldozers and renting a wrecking ball, allow me to offer some perspective as to why the Hilton Baltimore is there in the first place and why it is owned by the city.
The hotel exists because of the long-standing need for a convention headquarters hotel adjacent to the Baltimore Convention Center. For years, the lack of such a hotel was a significant issue that hurt the center's ability to lure conventions to the city.
Everyone agrees that the preferred arrangement for getting that essential convention headquarters hotel would have been to attract a private owner.
But the city had spent eight years unsuccessfully looking for a private-sector "angel" to finance the hotel, only to find itself considering proposals for private ownership that generally called for a large chunk of public financing for construction anyway.
Meanwhile, the city's convention business continued to lose ground against competitors. The lack of a large, headquarters hotel connected to the convention center had cost the city 120,000 room bookings and tens of millions in revenue over a three-year period, city convention executives estimated in early 2005.
In the end, city leaders opted for public ownership, reasoning that if taxpayers were to assume risk, they should benefit, as owners, from the financial rewards that would be derived from a successful hotel.
The hotel was approved in September 2005 by a 9-5 vote of the City Council, which ultimately concluded that the risks of the city owning a hotel were outweighed by the potential benefits. The hotel opened in August 2008.
The plan was for the hotel to eventually pay for itself with sufficient operating revenues to cover debt service. That has not yet happened, but it is way too premature for "I-told-you-so" critics to leap to pronouncements that the hotel is a failure. Here are some things to consider.
The Hilton Baltimore has its fiscal challenges, but by most industry measurements the hotel's operations are, in fact, performing well. Its occupancy rate, average room rate and revenue per room exceed most city hotels, industry data show.
Contrary to some published speculation that the hotel is being hampered by convention bookings that are "well-below" pre-recession levels, convention bookings of almost 342,000 room-nights in 2012 were 25 percent greater than bookings in 2007, according to Visit Baltimore data.
Lastly, consider the tourism industry's critical importance to the city and the region and the hotel's positive impact on that industry.
Baltimore City has more than 9 million leisure and business overnight visitors annually, according to data from Visit Baltimore. The city's hospitality industry generated more than 26,000 jobs in 2012, making it the city's fourth largest industry employer.
More than $47 million in state sales taxes are derived from tourism in the city, according to state data.
More importantly, the Hilton Baltimore has succeeded in accomplishing its strategic purpose.
"The hotel has made significant contributions to the growth of the convention business to Baltimore since it opened," said Tom Noonan, president and CEO of Visit Baltimore. "It is critical in attracting major conventions and meetings that would not have come to Baltimore without a headquarters hotel."
Even if it is sold, which could not happen before 2016 under the financing agreements, it's important that the hotel continue to operate, whether owned by the city or not, said Noonan.
You get the point. The issue of measuring the value of Baltimore's still-new convention headquarters hotel is much broader than you might think at first glance on a slow mid-summer news day.
The basic culprit driving the hotel's fiscal challenge is pre-recession math.
The hotel is competitive. But because of rate-compression that has challenged the industry since 2008, its room rates have not achieved projected levels calculated before the recession, notes Brenda McKenzie, president and CEO of the Baltimore Development Corporation.
This is not to downplay the need to creatively and prudently explore options and address the fiscal challenges related to the hotel's current debt structure.
But it's way too early to panic.
