Last week, I published an article called 5 Online Tools Freelance Writers Can Use to Make Life and Business Easier , which offered my suggestions for free and cheap tools that any freelance writer can try.  One of the items on that list was Skype, which enables you to make free calls (including international calls) from your computer.  Skype is free and not only helps freelance writers manage client communication, but it’s also an incredible tool for conducting audio and video interviews. Want to see a sample of a video taken via a Skype call?  Check out the videos I took using Call Recorder for Mac (discussed later in this post) for Newstex.com .  The video recording feature in Call Recorder allows you to record both parties on the call (using a picture-in-picture feature) or just one party (which is great for those of us who work at home in our pajamas).  You control everything on your end.  The person on the other end of the call just needs a Skype account, a webcam, and a microphone

If you just said yes, Google DFP (DoubleClick for Publishers) could be an ideal solution for you.

Those of you who follow me on Twitter or are friends with me on facebook may have seen that last month, I asked for volunteers to come catch and tag sharks with me here in Charleston. While I was pleased by how excited respondents were for this opportunity, I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge that involving members of the public in scientific research is an old idea. It’s called Citizen Science.

Back stitch is one of the five basic stitches used in Cross Stitch Embroidery. I enjoy projects with loads of back stitch because it is one of my favorite stitches. In fact, some projects are made up of back stitch only.

The UK’s bonfire of the quangos continued today, as the coalition government lined up a selection of health-related agencies for termination. Rising from the ashes may be a new super-regulator for research as the government has pledged a “radical simplification” of medical research. Overall, the Department of Health is to reduce the number of its so-called arm’s length bodies from the current 18 down to around nine as part of the government’s aim is to shave over 45% from the administrative …
