wikiHow to Make a Woman Happy

Two Parts:Treating Her WellSweeping Her Off Her FeetCommunity Q&A

Sometimes women can feel like a mystery. But once you get some helpful pointers, like these from wikiHow, women can start to make a lot more sense and you'll have an easier time finding ways to make them happy. Whether you're trying to please a girlfriend or your sister, we've got your back covered. Just get started with Step 1 below!

Part 1
Treating Her Well

  1. 1
    Respect her. The most important thing, the thing you should always do even if you don't do anything else, is to respect her. Basically: treat her the way that you would expect to be treated. When you love someone, that's the most important thing for you to do. There cannot be true love without respect.
    • Value her opinions, give her the chance to speak her mind, never demean her or insult her, don't judge her, understand and appreciate her for who she is, be honest with her, etc.
  2. 2
    Remove the conditions for your love. A big part of respecting her is stepping back and empowering her to make decisions for herself. Make sure she knows, even if you have to tell her every day, that you love her no matter what choices she makes for herself. Her choices are what make her who she is. When a man makes his love conditional on the choices that a woman makes to please him, he's really just loving himself. And a good woman deserves more than that.
    • Don't make her feel like she has to choose between making you feel happy and taking a job that makes her feel fulfilled. Don't make her feel like she has to choose between you finding her attractive and the massive discomfort associated with pubic shaving or waxing. These are the kinds of decisions that she should know you're going to have her back on, no matter the outcome.
  3. 3
    Listen to her. Don't just be quiet when she's talking, actually listen to her. Active listening involves asking questions and really responding to what she's saying. This tells her that you're really paying attention, but it also helps you focus more and remember what she's saying.
    • Sometimes when you hear someone telling you about a problem (or anything really), you might feel the need to just jump right in and say something or offer solutions. This is probably not what that persons needs, though. When someone tells you about their feelings (regardless of their gender), what they need is to be heard, so just listen. When they're done, they might ask you for advice. If they don't ask, you can kindly offer. Just acknowledge how she feels, don't take control of the conversation.
  4. 4
    Don't be a jerk. Take full responsibility for what comes out of your mouth, as well as how you choose to interpret what you hear. When you make a mistake, own up to it and work to make it better. Don't be selfish in your interactions or your relationship as a whole.
    • Avoid common non-apologies like "I'm sorry that your feelings got hurt". This is a common way to make women unhappy.
    • Even if you did something that you feel is normal, like looking at a pretty waitress, and your girl gets mad at you, you still have to realize that that action hurt her feelings. Whether you'd cheat on her or not, the burden of doubt is heavy and can kill a woman's ability to enjoy being with you.
  5. 5
    Never take her for granted. Appreciate everything she does for you and let her know that you appreciate everything that she does for you. Never assume that she's stuck with you, or think that just because she loves you you don't have to work to deserve her anymore. You can get away with letting yourself go physically, but you should never let yourself go emotionally. The second you start taking her for granted is the second she starts looking at other guys.
  6. 6
    Don't be a burden. This is the fastest way to make a woman lose interest in you. You don't want to be another "child" to take care of. You're her man, not her son. This means that you need to be an adult, be reliable, and be responsible. Take care of yourself financially, help out around the house, be there for her when she needs help, and make good on the promises you make.
  7. 7
    Be loyal. Women that you're with aren't impressed by you being smooth with other ladies, and planting the seeds of distrust in her mind will only make her worry that you're a jerk, even if you never cheat on her. Be loyal and don't give her any reason to doubt you.
    • Spend time with her more than any other woman, don't look at or comment on other women, and make her happiness your priority.
    • You should also stop putting on the show of attracting other women. Don't wear clothes that are designed to appeal to other women. Just wear what you know she likes. You have a woman already, so you shouldn't be worried about others wanting you, right?
  8. 8
    Pay attention! Notice what she says and does. Pay attention to when she says she "wishes" something or talks about wanting to do something. You should also pay attention to how she chooses to spend her time. This will help you understand what's important to her. Just like some things that are important to you are boring to her, you're going to have to at least understand some things that don't matter to you. Plus, you never know when you might miss something that's actually very important.
  9. 9
    Be her partner in life. This is what we're all looking for in a relationship: someone who will be there for us. Help her solve her problems if she wants help and you're able. Don't just solve them for her and take control of the situation. Instead give her the tools she needs to help herself.
    • This might mean taking on some extra chores around the house while she deal with bigger problems at work, for example.
    • Another example is taking one of her family members out to do something fun, if there's a stressful situation in their home. For example, taking her little sister to go shopping at the mall while she helps her parents deal with a family problem or taking her grandmother out to lunch if the grandmother is often lonely.
  10. 10
    Be yourself. Your woman wants to see you for who you really are. This makes her feel more connected to you. If she feels like you're just some stranger, she's never really going to be happy. So let her in. Let her see your vulnerabilities and the things you don't like about yourself. They will only make her love you more.
  11. 11
    Remember women can feel differently about sex. When our woman does not want to have sex with us, we take it personally. Once you understand that a woman's "warm-up time" is much longer than a man's and that she needs to be forewarned so that she can anticipate it, things become much easier. It's not about you. Very often she just wants to be close to you, to snuggle and be cuddled. Of course, whenever that happens you think about sex. Hold your horses, not so fast! It DOES NOT mean that she wants sex. If you insist on it every time she comes close to you, she will start avoiding you. You scare her off. Take it easy; take your time. Once she gets into it, she WILL enjoy it as much, or maybe even more than you do, but patience is an operative word.

Part 2
Sweeping Her Off Her Feet

  1. 1
    Cook for her. A great way to show her how much you care is to make her a meal. Breakfast in bed, dinner after a long day at work, a surprise lunch at her office: do whatever makes sense for you two. Having to cook, especially after a tough day, can be really stressful. Taking that pressure off of her will bring a smile to her face.
    • WikiHow has tons of great cooking articles that you can use! These are easy recipes that even the worst of cooks can make without problems!
  2. 2
    Give thoughtful, targeted gifts. Giving her a gift is, of course, a great way to make her happy. However, skip on the necklaces and rings. You might as well be giving those to just about any girl, right? Instead, give her something that says "I get you". This might mean tickets to her favorite concert or a giant plushy of her favorite animal.
  3. 3
    Compliment her in the right way. Compliments are a sure bet to making a woman happy, as they are with anyone, but you have to compliment correctly. Don't compliment her on things like her figure, because then she will stress about keeping it nice. You also shouldn't compliment her on things like her hair or eyes. Everyone has hair and eyes. Instead compliment her on things that she has control over: an excellent taste in clothes, a highly-trained skill or talent, a good sense of humor, etc.
  4. 4
    Do things with her. Your woman likes to spend time with you...that's why she's with you after all! If you're busy or you don't get to see her very often, it's important to spend quality time with her. Do things together that give you a chance to really talk, like having a dinner date or going on a walk to the park. She'll probably have ideas for things she'd like to do, so ask her too!
  5. 5
    Say how you feel. Women need to be told that we love them. We erroneously think that our actions like working and providing for the family clearly communicates our love for her. We often think that the more we work, the stronger the message of our love is. Wrong again. Nothing can substitute looking in her eyes and telling her: "I love you."
  6. 6
    Focus on your bedroom skills. Becoming better in bed is a good goal for everyone. Even if you think you're a king, you probably have at least a little room for improvement. Study female anatomy and erogenous zones. Better yet, ask her for a refresher course on making her feel incredible. She'll love the chance to show you just how she likes it.
  7. 7
    Encourage her. Encourage her to pursue her dreams and goals in life. If she finds something that makes her happy, give her the space and tools she needs to do that thing. She would do the same for you happiness: this is how relationships work!
  8. 8
    Make her feel like everything she's ever wanted to be. Every woman had ideas about what she wanted to be when she was younger. Maybe she wanted to be a really good mom, or maybe she wanted to be a problem solver. No matter what her fundamental desires were, help her to feel like with you she meets those goals. This means giving her opportunities and compliments, and encouraging her to do the things that she wants to do.
  9. 9
    Be fun! Everybody wants to be with someone who makes their life more interesting. We don't want a boring partner! Be the source of fun in her life by keeping your activities varied and unique. Sign the two of you up for dance lessons at the local community center. Take her on a hiking trip for the weekend. Anything that suits her personality and keeps you doing new things together!

Community Q&A

  • I have a female roommate that I recently started to have feelings for. We started out as friends with benefits. I'm not sure if I should tell her. What do I do?
    wikiHow Contributor
    You should tell her, but prepare yourself for the consequences first. If she doesn't have the same feelings, would you still be able to live there, or would you prefer to move out? Know this going into the conversation. Then just talk it out. Say something like "I really have fun spending time with you, but I think my feelings are getting a little more serious than I expected." Then ask her how she feels.
  • How do I keep a jealous girlfriend happy?
    wikiHow Contributor
    Try to remind her how much you like her by giving her compliments throughout the day. Often, people that are jealous have low self esteems, so compliments should go a long way.
  • How do I tell a girl I like her?
    wikiHow Contributor
    First of all, it is a lot easier to do it over text and most girls will be fine with that, but if you tell her in person she will feel like you like her more. It helps if you have some idea ahead of time how she feels about you. You could ask one of her friends or make a joke about it and watch her reaction. When you're ready to tell her, just ask her out. Be direct and confident, girls appreciate this.
  • I have been married 34 years and my wife sees me as a failure with no goals, I don't know what to do. We are in a lot of outside debt, and she hates me. What can I do to make it good again?
    wikiHow Contributor
    Try harder and when you can't try anymore, try even harder. Love conquers all, and if she loves you, she will see and love you for you.

  • Get advice from the other women in your life...or better yet, her friends.
  • Do your part of the household chores. It's not her job, nor her destiny. It's a shared list of chores.
  • Give her enough space. Just like you, she needs time to herself to be creative, reflective and self-pampering.
  • Give a surprise now and then. Give a rose, make a special tea, find a perfume of her choice, bring home a nice ring, watch or dress, etc.
  • Tell her she is beautiful out of the blue. Every woman deserves to hear this.
  • Remember all the days that are special to her and to both of you.
  • Regardless of how beautiful she is, never forget to compliment her brains.

  • These actions do not apply to all the women all the time, but in majority situations it could be very useful and right on the mark. Take it day by day.

wikiHow to Travel from UK to the US by Boat

Community Q&A

Transatlantic travel has changed drastically in the last 50 years. Dozens of airlines make the voyage from England to the United States every day. Yet, there are fewer ships offering this itinerary, and boats no longer offer room and board in exchange for passage. However, there are still a number of options, including cruise ships, positioning cruises and freighters. You will need to do research and be more flexible when you choose sea travel over plane travel. Learn how to travel from the UK to the US by boat.

  1. 1
    Calculate a travel budget. Travel across the Atlantic by boat is likely to cost around $1,000, but it can cost upwards of $4,000 per person, depending upon your cabin choice. Traveling between New York and major English cities is cheaper by plane.
  2. 2
    Book a cruise with Cunard. This cruise company makes trips between Southampton and New York harbors on the Queen Mary II. If you want to book a boat trip between the UK and the US in the summer, this will be your best option.
    • Cruises are not available between January and March through cunard.com. If there is availability, booking last minute cruises will yield the cheapest stateroom prices.
    • Book your cabin according to your budget. Inside staterooms without windows cost between $650 and $900 per person. Suites can cost up to $4,000 per person per 7 night voyage.
  3. 3
    Reserve a seat on a positioning cruise. Every year, cruise lines relocate from Europe to the Caribbean. You can find a seat on 1 of these cruises. Visit a website like cruises.com and look specifically for positioning cruises leaving from London or Southampton.
    • Positioning cruises offer some discounts on fares, since they do not stop at ports. Most travel agents and online travel websites will not list these cruises. You should look online or call the cruise ships directly to inquire about availability.
    • Look for cruises that are approximately 7 days long, or they may include travel to the Caribbean.
  4. 4
    Research passage on a freighter. Freighters can carry up to 12 passengers without hiring a doctor. This means that you can occasionally find a ticket that costs approximately $50 to $100 per night for a cabin, food and access to facilities.
    • Freighter tickets are not like cruise ship tickets. They do not provide on-board entertainment. Occasionally, passengers are offered to attend meals and cocktail events with the captain and ship employees.
    • Visit A La Carte Freighter Travel, at freighter-travel.com, to look for freighter options. Passage can extend from 9 to 130 days, and you will pay per night.
    • Freighters make delivery stops, since their main duty is to deliver cargo. These stops can take 12 hours to a few days. You must be flexible with your schedule in order to travel this way.
    • Make sure to specify which amenities will be provided on the ship. Some freighters do not allow you to exit the boat in port, but they may not provide meals in port for these shorter trips.

George Zimmerman

Prosecutors hand over new FBI evidence in Trayvon Martin murder case

George Zimmerman’s defense team asked the court two weeks ago to order prosecutors to turn over additional FBI evidence and investigation materials, and on Thursday prosecutors filed paperwork saying they delivered. The new evidence reportedly includes reports by the FBI and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, additional cell phone records and witness interviews, as well as DNA analysis and a list of 12 new state witnesses.

On October 26 Circuit Court Judge Debra Nelson ordered the state to turn over the new evidence after defense attorney Mark O’Mara accused prosecutors of withholding evidence.

The FBI reports are the result of a federal probe launched after civil rights leaders expressed outrage that Zimmerman was not immediately arrested after he shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman claims he acted in self-defense, asserting his right not to retreat under Florida’s controversial “Stand Your Ground” law.

The new witnesses include neighbors and a physician’s assistant who treated Zimmerman. However, Assistant State Attorney Bernie de la Rionda stated that the new witnesses are not likely to be prominent at trial.

According to the new FBI evidence, agents reportedly interviewed nearly three dozen of Zimmerman’s friends, colleagues, neighbors, and associates and none of them believed he was racist.

In an additional filing on Thursday, O’Mara added another name to his growing deposition list, this time filing notice of intent to depose the medical examiner who carried out the autopsy on Trayvon Martin, Shiping Bao.

Zimmerman is currently charged with second-degree murder and is released on $1 million bail.

ONLY ON 3: Interest in ‘Teen Mom’ arrest overwhelms sheriff’s new spokesman

Wednesday, January 11th, 2012

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — Last night’s arrest of “Teen Mom 2” star Janelle Evans may not have been too surprising given her criminal record. But for Brunswick County Sheriff’s spokesman Del Routh, who is still fairly new to the job, the huge influx of media attention was a little overwhelming.

Call after call. E-mail after e-mail. Routh has gotten his fill of teen mom Janelle. Since around 8 p.m. Tuesday, the sheriff’s spokesman says he’s gotten information requests from all over the country.

Deputies arrested the 20-year-old reality star yesterday on charges of placing harassing phone calls and communicating threats. No stranger to trouble with the law, Evans has faced a charge of assault following a fight video that went viral, trespassing and breaking and entering and a previous charge of harassing phone calls.

Routh, who has only been on the job for about three months, says he was not prepared for all the attention.

“If I had been a little been more prepared for what’s been ongoing, then I would be a little bit more prepared and would have understood what was happening, and I didn’t know why there was so much interest in this special case. So that was the biggest thing: that I wasn’t familiar with it, but I can guarantee you I am very familiar with it now,” Routh said.

Routh says he had never seen the reality shows that Evans has been on.

He got requests from about 30 different organizations from New York, LA, Florida and, of course, North Carolina.

Leaders discuss business of education over breakfast

Wednesday, January 11th, 2012

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Local and state leaders met for breakfast this morning and to discuss business of education.

The New Hanover County School Board held a breakfast meeting to inform leaders about the importance of considering education as a top priority, especially when it comes to planning the 2012 budget.

“We have to identify that there is low morale. That teachers need to be lifted up. That funding needs to be increased for schools, not cut, in order for us to do the best things for our students because that’s what every teacher wants to do. Why else would you go into the profession?,” New Hanover County Teacher of the Year Rachael Moser said.

Moser says she thinks it’s important that leaders know the importance of starting from the ground up to make improvements to the community as a whole.

“We either invest in the children now and we give money to the school system and to the teachers so that they can provide that quality education, or we see those things that we don’t want to see go up, go up. We see crime go up. We see an achievement gap go up. We pay now or pay later,” Moser said.

State and local leaders say money is tight, but they are doing everything they can to stretch funding. State Sen. Thom Goolsby (R-9th District) says if we can fix education, other problems may also be solved.

“Education is where it all starts,” Sen. Goolsby said. “Nobody’s going to move companies to north carolina, create jobs, do what needs to be done if we don’t have a workforce that can think. That can work. That can produce.”

Leaders agree that the most important thing schools across the state can do is speak up and tell them exactly what they need.

“I think it’s very important, especially with the upcoming budget talks that are going to begin shortly, that the commissioners have a full grasp of where the schools are now, what the schools want, and what the school’s needs are,” New Hanover County Commissioner Chair Ted Davis said.

The state legislature will begin discussing the 2012 budget in May.

New hanover county officials hope the breakfast was informative for the leaders when it comes to making decisions.

John Joseph* Flanagan:
Modern Hercules

Considered the father of modern hammer throwing, and a modern-day Hercules, John Joseph Flanagan was born in the Kinkead home of his mother's family in the Parish of Knocklong/Glenbrohane, in Ballinvreena, in the District of Kilfinane, in the Union of Kilmallock. Flanagan competed in the 1900 Olympic Games in Paris as a member of the New York Athletic Club, and in the 1904 Olympic Games in St. Louis and the 1908 Olympic Games in London as a member of the Irish-American Athletic Club, winning three gold medals in the Hammer throw and one silver in the 56lbs. weight throw.

From 1895 to 1909, Flanagan raised the world's record in the 16lbs. hammer throw in sixteen installments. He served with the New York City Police Department from 1902 to 1910, when he retiurned to Ireland. He died June 3th, 1938 on the family farm in Kilmallock, Co. Limerick, Ireland.

* (While Flanagan's middle name is widely reported as “Jesus,” according to his family, his middle name was actually Joseph, a common name in the Flanagan clan).

The following article is excerpted from Champions of the Athletic Arena, by William Dooley, published in 1946.

John Flanagan in the 1890s.

Different authorities have stated that the height of the hammer-throwing wonder, John Flanagan, was 5’ 9 ½”, but his own statement is that he stood 5’ 10 ½”.  Born at Kilbreedy, Kilmallock, he came under early notice as a prize-winner at Emly in 1891, and his first title came three years later, a Munster 56lbs. event, at Waterford R.I.C. Sports.

In August, 1895, on the historical day when James J. Ryan broke the high jump record, John negotiated 22’ in the long jump as a close-up second to Larry Roche of Bruree, and cleared over 46’ in the hop, step and jump as second to Ryan.  His first notable hammer win was accomplished here for he beat Denis Carey.  In September he was second in the G.A.A. all-around Championship, to Tom Wood of Enniskean, Cork, at Clonmel, with 11 points to spare over Mike Ryan of Rockwell, famous Rugby man.

In April, 1896, at the Gaelic Sports, Stamford Bridge, he broke two world hammer records, beating, by 2ft., Jim Mitchell’s recognized best of 145’ ¾” from a 7’ circle.  In May he brought world figures in the unlimited run and follow mode over 156’ at Kensal Rise, London, and, in July, took the British crown from a 9’ circle.

Flanagan emigrated a few months afterwards.  His initial encounter with Mitchell was in the New York Senior Metropolitan Championships, in Columbia Oval, in August, 1897, Mitchell suffering his only Championship defeat in 8 years.  John taking the hammer throw at just over 149’, and going ahead to win the American title in late August at some inches less.  He then travelled to the Canadian Championships, at Toronto, and put up a Dominion record 9ft. better than the one existing in Mitchell’s name, also taking 56lbs. laurels.

John won the Olympic hammer throw at Paris in 1900, with 167’ 4”, crossed over to take the British crown at 163’ 5” at Kilmallock, all of these marks being far in advance of anything shown by his contemporaries.

At Celtic Park, New York, in September, 1901, he brought the hammer record to 171’ 9” and in October, made world discus best, 124’, at Louisville, Kentucky.  Before the end of that month, we find him at the Irish-American (Athletic Club) Games, New York, blotting out Mitchell’s 56lbs. figures from a circle with both hands, at 36’ 9 ½”.

On 31st July, 1904, he reached 173’ with the hammer and won his second Olympic title at St. Louis, doing 168’ 1”.

John’s best accepted 56lbs. throw from a 7’ circle was that given in winning the American Championship of 1907, at Jamestown, 38’ 8”, and here he also best 171’ in taking the hammer event.

Matt McGrath was now coming to the fore and he beat John in the Fall of 1907 at over 170’ and the inclusion of both on the American team for the London (Olympic) Games, 1908, made for a great struggle for mastery.  Matt led into the final at Sheppard’s Bush, with a throw of 167’ 11”, but John came out in the concluding rounds to win at 170’ 4 ½”, a fresh Olympic record and his third consecutive win.  Again visiting this country (Ireland), he flung a 56lbs. 39’ 2½” and the hammer 179’ 10”, each from a 9’ circle, which figures are still on our books.

The battle of the giants between Flanagan and McGrath went on anew on their return to the New World.  Their titanic struggles were the high lights of the period.  Matt took the American Championship, at Travers Island, and John the New York Senior, by a foot, at over 172’.  McGrath had, by now, erased John’s world record, by inches, but, on their tenth meeting of 1908, Flanagan regained the best figures with 174’ 4 ¾”, at the Fall Games of the Irish-American A.C.

The arrival of Con Walsh of Carriganima, Macroom, (Co. Cork, Ireland) in the United States, made the competition sterner still.  In June, 1909, Flanagan threw an unprecedented 174’ 10 but was unable, at this, to concede a 10ft handicap to Walsh who beat 165’.  At Celtic Park, also in that month, John beat 174’ against a breeze, with McGrath just 2 ½” away, but John had a convincing win over Walsh and McGrath, at American League Park, when he became the first human to ever reach the classical 180’ with a regulation 16lbs. hammer.  His crowning achievement came, however, at the Clan-na-Gael Games, Newhaven, on 24th July, 1909, when he threw 184’ 4”.

Joining the New York City Police he was declared No. 1 physical specimen of 1,200 applicants.  He definitely placed hammer-throwing on the map, adding more than 37ft. to his earliest record during a period of 13 years.  He came home to reside in his native place in 1910, and died there in 1938.

Flanagan’s style was a treat to look upon and many of the aristocrats on Fifth Avenue were in the habit of visiting Travers Island and other New York venues to see John, and John alone, pivoting in the circle.  Although Alfred Plaw of California was the man who started the three-turn method of throwing a hammer, he was actually unaware of the fact, as he employed it in a rather crude form, but John seeing him in the circle, at once saw its great possibilities, and brought it to perfection.  Prior to the advent of the Germans, sound judges of form described him as “the greatest hammer-man, of his inches and poundage, that ever lived.”

ON June, 5, 1965 engine driver Wallace Oakes, then 33, left his home in Sandy Lane, Sandbach, and boarded the train for work at Sandbach Station.

He joined his fireman, Gwilym Roberts, and they went to their allotted engine, the 94-ton Britannia Class engine number 70051 Firth of Forth, at Crewe Station.

Waiting for them was the 2.05pm express to Carlisle and the trains were then coupled up.

Below the chimney inside was a petticoat that directed the exhaust out - with a blockage to the chimney the exhaust would have no way of escaping. As the train entered Winsford station the firebox door was open and suddenly part of this petticoat gave way, blocking the chimney completely.

This resulted, without any warning, in a massive backlash of flames from the firebox onto the footplate, engulfing both driver and fireman. Fortunately Mr Roberts was leaning out of the cab window and although his legs were very badly burned he was able to climb onto the outer steps. There he put out his burning clothes by rubbing them against the bodywork and then holding onto the outside of the tender doors. He realised that the brakes were being applied and remained there until the train came to a stop.

Mr Oakes was badly burned as he stood in the midst of the flames that engulfed the footplate. He partially closed the regulator, opened the boiler and pulled on the steam brake, bringing the train to a halt. Only then, with his clothes almost totally burned off and with 80 per cent burns to his body, did he fall from the footplate and onto the embankment. He had almost certainly prevented massive loss of life by averting the destruction of the train. Mr Roberts was badly burned but able to phone the signalman and raise the alarm. The southbound Royal Scot was signalled to stop and take both men to hospital. Mr Oakes was so badly burned that a week later, after leaving hospital, he died of his injuries.

For remaining at his post, engine driver Wallace Oakes was posthumously awarded the George Cross for gallantry and in 1966 he was also awarded the Bronze Medal of the Carnegie Hero Trust.

Ring-necked Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus)

Crowing Call: The territorial call of the male. A loud, harsh, two syllable koork kok, the first note longer and the second note having a distinctly staccato quality. The crowing call is often followed by wing flapping which is audible at close range. The crowing part is loud enough to be audible almost a mile away. It is given year round but most frequently in the spring. Similarly, it can be heard at any time of the day, but more often at dawn or dusk, and sometimes even at night when the moon is bright. (Heinz and Gysel. 1970).

Ring-necked Pheasants are known to respond by crowing to various loud noises or vibrations, including thunder, explosions, earth tremors and loud mechanical noises(Heinz and Gysel. 1970).

What Does a Court Researcher Do?

A court researcher is an employee for a legal company that finds the information needed for cases and legal matters by digging through the court records. For example, if an attorney has a case that involves a mortgage deed, the attorney may hire a court researcher to go to the courthouse where the records are housed, look through the file and find the information that the attorney needs to win his or her client’s case in court.

On the flip side, some court researchers work for the court. This could mean the researcher works for a particular judge. When the judge needs to research court cases, law or find specific documents for a case, they will turn to the court researcher in order to find the information the judge seeks.

A freelance researcher may even work for individuals or a variety of clients. He may dig into the court records on a case by case basis depending on what the client has hired him to conduct research on and to find.

A court researcher may have to physically go to the courthouse where the records are kept. This is because some courthouses do not have public records online or the records the researcher is looking for is not a matter of public record. Other times, courthouses have spent a lot of time and money turning their paper records into electronic records. This means researchers may be able to access the information they need online.

The work of a court researcher can be very varied. In one situation, the researcher may be digging up the criminal background of a potential employee for a company that is consider hiring the person. The next case the researcher works on may be to find all of the previous cases that pertain to the same situation that an attorney or judge is currently working on, so they can use the research to show how the outcome of each of those cases should affect the outcome of this case.

Being a researcher is a job that requires good research skills and patience. It also requires a tolerance for working alone because the researcher is often sitting in the file room of the courthouse pulling, reading through and copying information from file. While there is some interaction between the researcher and the client that has employed them, a court research position is typically a position of solitude.

@Emilski - I really think that is a hard question to ask, as job postings for court researchers seem to spring up everywhere when there needs to be additional research done for the courts.

I personally have reviewed a lot of job postings and have found that there are many that are available in rural areas, simply because these jobs, with the necessary expertise, are usually fairly hard to fulfill and that with less people in an area, they have a harder time filling the position than in a city.

What I am interested in is if there are people that do this job professionally or if this is merely a job that is a low level clerical type of position and if it is a job that can give raises or have the opportunity for growth in the courts with the job?

Post 3

@jmc88 - That is quite interesting and I would really like to see what is out there as far as what the variety of jobs are.

I live in a rural area, with a low population, thus we only have county courthouses, and they tend not to have a lot of records that need to be looked up, so I am wondering if this would be something that would even be available in my area, or if it is something that would be more prevalent in a big city, that has a higher population?

It would make sense that a city would need to employ more people, but I really have to wonder if a small, rural area, that lacks the resources of a city, would be looking for more people to help the court?

Post 2

@titans62 - I have researched jobs concerning court researchers and I have found that there are independent companies out there that will pay people, by the hour, to do their jobs in order to satisfy the courts.

When I looked up these jobs I was surprised to find that this was completely online and that the company worked in conjunction with the courthouse.

The courthouse had job requirements for the court researcher and this is what the job requirement was, so it varied depending exactly where someone was contracted to.

As far as pay goes it seemed like it paid on either output or hourly, depending exactly where someone was working. At one place I looked at it paid 11.50 and hour and they required the court researcher to work 24 hours a week.

Post 1

I really have to wonder exactly how someone becomes a court researcher, as it seems like it requires someone that has a lot of expertise, as well as someone who may have legal qualifications.

However, the article does not necessarily mention exactly what type of background a person has to have in order to be a court researcher, as it only mentions skills that a person has to have in order to do their job.

I am a history major and looking to utilize my field of study and I am wondering if this is a job someone without legal expertise can do as well as if a person needs to be appointed or employed by the court house.

What is Algaculture?

Algaculture is a technique used to cultivate certain types of algae, primarily microalgae like phytoplankton, which are easy to grow under controlled conditions. There are a variety of uses for algae, both wild and cultivated, making algaculture a potentially profitable line of pursuit in some regions of the world. Several companies have active algaculture farms, and many also sell supplies to people who want to farm their own algae at home.

This technique is considered a branch within the larger family of aquaculture, the cultivating of aquatic organisms. Aquaculture can be challenging, as people must be able to replicate the natural conditions needed by such organisms in tightly controlled environments while also generating a profit. Not all creatures are suitable for aquaculture; microalgae seem to do very well in algaculture facilities, leading biologists to believe that it has great promise.

In an algaculture facility, farmers create a contained environment with a nutritious growth medium and a substrate to grow on, and then “seed” it with algae. The algae can be harvested in a variety of ways; many algaculture facilities use convenient screens as a growth medium, simply pulling the screens out when they fill with algae. In a well-maintained farm, regular harvests could be made possible with the use of rotating pens, ensuring a year round crop.

One of the most obvious uses of algaculture is for nutritional supplements and food, given that algae has been used as part of the human diet in many regions of the world for centuries. Algae can also be used to produce bioplastics, fuels, and certain pharmaceutical products; the controlled environment increases efficiency, ensuring that only the most suitable algae are cultivated, and allowing farms to produce enough algae to make harvesting the algae profitable. The high volume also make it possible for people to invest in the research and equipment needed to utilize the algae.

Algae farms can also potentially be used to mitigate pollution. In areas where excessive nutrients enter the ocean, for example, algaculture facilities could be established to sop up the nutrients while producing a useful product, thereby preventing die-offs further out to sea. Many species of algae can also process pollutants such as spilled oil and chemicals, so mobile algae farms could be used to respond to spills and other pollution issues, with the resulting algae being used in a non-food capacity.

Recycling Car Seats For FreeSubmitted: 04/20/2013
Story By Shardaa Gray

Photos By Shardaa Gray

WAUSAU - When you child out grows their car seat, you might pass it along to someone else, sell it, or throw it away.

But there's another alternative.

Safe Kids in Wausau held its second annual Car Seat Recycling Day at the Judging Pavilion in Marathon Park.

Northwoods residents were able to drop off their used car seats for proper recycling for free.

Car seats that have been recalled, broken or in a crash are good ones to drop off.

But first the seats had to be dismantled.

"They all are made very differently and very safe so that's a good thing I guess, but that's taking a while to get apart so that taking apart the different metal bars or different screws that the car seats are put together," said Safe Kids Coordinator, Michelle Armstrong.

"So it is a little bit labor intensive. We've got some great help to take all of the seats apart and make it a little bit easier to recycle the majority of the seats then."

If you've got a new car seat and you want to make sure it's installed safely,

Safe Kids also holds monthly car seat inspections.

It's on every 3rd Wednesday at Yach's Body & Custom Shop in Wausau.

Gravel Truck Overturns, Slowing I-75 Traffic

A dump truck driver says he's lucky to be alive after blowing a tire on I-75 in Madison County.

He was on his way to EKU with a load of rock when the tire blew Thursday morning, near the north Richmond exit.

The driver says the truck's left tire blew out, causing it to tip over onto the median, spilling his load everywhere.

Even after the truck was towed off, traffic was still backed up for a couple of miles.

Tim Woitowitz-- 2016 John W. Coombs Award Winner

2016 John W. Coombs Award Winner

BANGOR, MAINE - Tim Woitowitz spent the last 10 years “Making Change,” helping youths in crisis through a program he started by the same name. Every one of those years, he was “on call” as a mentor and friend 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Tim also applied his experience as a musician to develop a music program for BCOPE, the alternative high school for the Belfast area. He acquired a host of instruments and then taught the students for free because he feels “music challenges the mind, focuses personal discipline and provides a balm for the soul.”

From there, Tim was drawn to volunteer for Restorative Justice of Waldo County, a program designed to keep youthful lawbreakers from being placed in the criminal justice system. Tim’s commitment to community is also evident through his 13 years of running fundraising events for Hospice Volunteers of Waldo County.

Dolly Sullivan, Teaching Principal of BCOPE started her letter of recommendation with “Simply put—Tim is the BEST! Tim embodies the word volunteer, and there is probably a picture of this smiling face in the dictionary next to that word.”

Over the years, I have reported often on President Omar Hassan al-Bashir of Sudan, against whom the International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants on charges of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. The last offense recognizes his murders of more than 300,000 of his subjects in Darfur. Many thousands more Sudanese have been hurled into wretched refugee camps, suffering further killings and rapes committed by his troops.

Despite these arrest warrants, al-Bashir has yet to be tried. He has been welcomed, without fear of arrest, in Nigeria, Egypt, Kenya and China. His avoidance of punishment has been received with indifference by most American media for years. However, London-based Reuters reported last month that he was going to the “U.N. General Assembly and had already booked a hotel in New York” (“Sudan’s Bashir, wanted by the ICC, says he will travel to U.N.,” Ulf Laessing and Khalid Abdelaziz, Reuters, Sept. 22).

I was sickened, but not surprised. I knew that all members of the International Criminal Court must detain any visitor against whom it had issued an arrest warrant. But the United States, where a hotel suite was waiting for him, is not a member of the International Criminal Court. Of course, al-Bashir knew this.

Reuters quoted the monster: “Nobody in the U.S. can question me or hold me.”

At first, our media expressed hardly any shocked indignation at his intended visit. This, even though al-Bashir has continued killing his people and his allies, in, for example, the Nuba Mountains, with little notice, except by New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, who’s often on the perilous scene.

But human rights organizations began urging action by President Barack Obama, whose administration at first didn’t have much to say about this multidimensional war criminal’s arrival. A particularly incisive and forceful confronter of Obama was Ruth Messinger, president of American Jewish World Service, which not only orates against human rights abuses but also keeps working against them.

I’ve known Ruth since she was involved in real-life educational reform here in New York. She does not give up. Last month, she and numerous other human rights activists signed a letter addressed to President Obama, asking him to take a stand against al-Bashir’s planned visit:

“Our immigration laws prohibit admitting perpetrators of genocide and extrajudicial killings into our country and it is unprecedented for someone wanted by the International Criminal Court for the crime of genocide to travel to the United States.

“While we recognize that the U.S. government is obliged to facilitate President Bashir’s visit under the U.N. Headquarters Agreement, we urge you to do everything in your power to prevent the trip.”

Furthermore, had al-Bashir landed in the U.S., Ruth and the other signees of the petition called on Obama’s Department of Justice to explore filing a criminal case against him under the Genocide Accountability Act of 2007.

There was not a word of response from Attorney General Eric Holder. However, some of the media finally awakened to the coming arrival of this unapologetic – and ongoing – war criminal.

With al-Bashir looking forward to his U.N. appearance, I saw only one reference to a report from Smith College professor Eric Reeves, the leading global documentarian of al-Bashir’s heinous crimes. His report, “Killing U.N. Peacekeepers: A Ruthless Proclivity of Khartoum’s Sudan Armed Forces, Militia Proxies,” describing al-Bashir’s troops’ killings of U.N. peacekeepers in greater Sudan, emphasized that “the weakness of the U.N. in responding to such incidents, implicating the Khartoum regime, has for many years been contemptible” (sudanreeves.org, May 9).

While these horrors were largely omitted from the demonstrations against al-Bashir’s planned visit to the U.N., the heat of protesters’ contempt continued to rise until the Washington Post reported this on Sept. 25: “Sudanese president cancels U.N. address.”

“The cancellation,” wrote Colum Lynch, “followed several days of diplomatic efforts by the United States to convince Bashir not to come to the United States, warning it could not guarantee he would not be subject to arrest, according to U.N.-based diplomats.”

Al-Bashir, meanwhile, complained that the United States was delaying the visa permission for his arrival, which the Obama administration denied.

Because al-Bashir could no longer look forward to dining in New York, nearly all mention of him ceased in various forms of our media covering his desire to come here to the U.N. His genocide and other merciless crimes against humanity still continue – unpunished.

Ruth Messinger, however, has not given up:

“Our nation has failed to address the fundamental problems at the center of Sudan’s many civil wars, ethnic, religious and regional conflicts, including the concentration of resources and power with the country’s ruling elite in Khartoum. Now is the time to change our fundamental approach to Sudan through a sustained high-level engagement” (“AJWS Opposes Visit to U.S. by Sudanese War Criminal,” June 17, ajws.org).

But our “leading from behind” president cannot be counted on to awaken Americans and others throughout the world to end the ghastly terror of President Omar Hassan al-Bashir.

Instead, journalists, clergy members, teachers, students, legislators and other Americans, for whom bringing the most appalling evildoers to justice is the reason for their being in this world, must organize to put this ghoul in an impregnable cell for the rest of his life.

Next week: A story in The Guardian this week reported that al-Bashir is now battling rebellion against his economic strictures from citizens in his capital, Khartoum, and in central Sudan. He has already killed dozens of them as more insist on punishing him, even if the U.N. and the United States do not punish him for his vast other crimes.

The U.S. Supreme Court

The U.S. Supreme Court

Could our republic be on its last legs?

If the judicial system continues to usurp power it doesn’t rightfully possess, then America’s current system can’t last much longer, according to Conservative Review senior editor Daniel Horowitz.

“We will not survive another few years as a republic, irrespective of who wins this election, if the courts are not stripped of their power,” Horowitz declared during a recent appearance on the Mark Levin Show.

Indeed, the nation is reaching a “cathartic moment in our history where elections don’t matter,” according to Horowitz.

This is because unelected judges are deciding most major social and political questions with finality. Horowitz details the danger posed by the courts in his new book “Stolen Sovereignty: How to Stop Unelected Judges From Transforming America.”

Levin praised the book, calling it “a must-read” and “a terrific book” and deeming Horowitz “one of the smartest young men in the conservative movement today.”

Horowitz said he was inspired to write the book by two distinct events that happened Sept. 3, 2015. That was the day Rowan County, Kentucky, clerk Kim Davis was thrown in jail for refusing to violate her Christian faith by issuing “marriage” licenses to same-sex couples. This came after the Supreme Court in June created the constitutional “right” to homosexual marriage.

Then also on Sept. 3, according to Horowitz, a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals panel invalidated the deportation of a criminal alien because the individual was transgender.

The judge applied international law to rule the alien could not be returned to Mexico because he might face persecution because of his gender identity. The judge then castigated the immigration officials in court for not using the proper pronoun to refer to the defendant.

So on the same day a federal judge threw a peaceful clerk in jail for following her Christian faith, another federal judge ordered the ICE to release a dangerous criminal illegal alien. This dichotomy was emblematic of a major problem Horowitz sees drawing near.

“I believe that we are reaching the final frontier of judicial tyranny,” Horowitz warned. “For years they’ve been codifying special privileges for protected classes, flipping unalienable rights on its head for protected classes of Americans. They’re now copying and pasting those rights to foreign nationals.”

This manifests itself, according to Horowitz, when judges rule in favor of birthright citizenship and counting illegal aliens in the census while ruling against common sense state voter ID laws.

“They are not only deciding every political and social question of our time that should be left to a legislature, they are preventing conservatives from even winning elections and having fair elections in the first place,” Horowitz said. “This is why I see this problem as pretty much the most imminent constitutional crisis we have to confront at this moment.”

Some conservatives believe all they need to do is elect a Republican president who will then appoint more conservative judges, but Horowitz views this as a fool’s errand.

For one thing, he said, it would take many years to replace enough liberal judges to make a serious difference, and Republican presidents do not have a great record anyway when it comes to appointing judges who turn out to be conservative.

Horowitz believes America has reached a point of no return and the only answer now is to strip the courts of jurisdiction over certain issues. This requires no new law or constitutional amendment because Article III, Section 2 of the Constitution grants Congress the power to exempt and regulate the jurisdiction of the courts.

If Congress would only stand up and exercise this power, it would change everything, according to Horowitz.

“So the notion that the courts could say, ‘A man is a woman now for purposes of state law; a marriage is not a marriage; you have to fund Planned Parenthood; you can’t regulate abortion clinics’ – they do not have the power to do that if Congress protects the states and simply says no, they do not have the power to adjudicate,” Horowitz declared.

Indeed, the notion that one district or circuit judge can redefine marriage or throw out an immigration law is silly, according to Horowitz, because Congress created those courts and has power over their jurisdiction. He acknowledged his book has opened many eyes to the way the judiciary is supposed to work.

“A lot of people actually thought the courts are the final arbiter of everything,” Horowitz said. “That’s what even conservatives are trained to think, and this is something that is so dangerous because … there’s got to be some sort of limit to it.”

He pointed out early voting was a concept that didn’t exist in most states until about a decade ago, yet federal judges are now ruling that states violate the Constitution and the 1965 Voting Rights Act if they reduce their early voting periods.

“How do we allow this to stand for even one day when we have the authority to simply say the courts do not have jurisdiction over this issue?” Horowitz asked.

Horowitz lamented conservatives’ unwillingness to embrace drastic but necessary measures to save the American republic. Just as many rejected Levin’s suggestions in “The Liberty Amendments,” some have already rejected Horowitz’s suggestions in “Stolen Sovereignty.”

“This is not something foreign,” Horowitz reasoned. “We’re talking about pursuing constitutional remedies to combat unconstitutional coups throughout our government that the left has perpetrated for a hundred years, and our side says no to everything.”

Again, Horowitz warned simply appointing more conservative judges has been tried before, and it has failed to fix the systemic problems in the court system. In fact, he said having Congress restrict the courts’ jurisdiction is the one variable Americans have not yet explored. He recommends Congress at minimum strip the courts of jurisdiction over issues of sovereignty, most notably immigration.

Such a move would do far more than 10 to 12 years of Republican governance, Horowitz assured Levin’s audience.

“We need to do something now, and this notion that we’re going to continue banging our heads against the wall and just say, ‘Appoint better judges,’ this system is so flawed,” Horowitz insisted. “When we have this erroneous notion and we give in to the premise that the courts are not just a coequal branch to engage in judicial review, but they are above, they are the sole and final arbiter of every single important question of our time, we’ve lost our system of governance. It doesn’t matter; it doesn’t matter who wins the elections. I guarantee you – pick your favorite policy, why you want a Republican governor or president – that policy will be thrown out.”

What Happens When 140-Year-Old Water Main Bursts

Email a Friend
A water main break early on January 15, 2013 leaves a crater in the street at 13th Street and 5th Avenue.

The Department of Environmental Protection says the water main that burst early Wednesday, disrupting eight subway lines and leaving a van-sized hole in the ground, was likely one of the original pipes from the Croton Aqueduct that first brought Catskills water to New York City.

The DEP says the 36-inch cast iron pipe was laid in 1877, and its age and the recent temperature swings probably played a role in the break.

The main burst around 1:40 a.m., flooding Fifth Avenue between 13th and 14th Streets. It caused extensive delays and disruptions to the B, D, F, M, J, Z, N and Q lines, and M2 and M5 buses were re-routed.

The Cardozo Law school building on 5th Ave and 12th was closed after flooding in the basement affected the building's heat and elevators; PS 226 (located at 12 W12th Street) was relocated to a school on East 15th Street for the day; and the New School University buildings on 5th Ave. and at 2 W. 13th St had delayed openings.

Voicing the frustrations of many New Yorkers, Greta Floyd from Jamaica, Queens said the subway disruptions were a major annoyance. But the flowing water that soaked her suede boots was even worse. "This is a nightmare," she said. "I don't want to wet my shoes. It's not that inconvenient, it's just lately everything in New York is a natural disaster. Every time something happens, everything falls apart."

2 blocks of 13th St remained closed Wednesday afternoon, and the DEP says it hopes to repair the crater and reopen the streets by the end of the week. The department still must decide whether to attempt to repair the water main or retire it.

Explosives are used in mining and quarrying, trenching and sub-soiling, rock breaking and stump removal, ammunition and theatrical, and fireworks displays.

Examples include: fireworks, ammonium nitrate/fuel oil mixes, blasting primers, detonators, smokeless powder, fuses, rail track signals, distress flares and safety cartridges.

A licence is required from WorkSafe before you can manufacture, store, sell, import, transport and use explosives. This includes discharging fireworks.

New Dangerous Goods (Explosives) Regulations 2011

Victoria has updated the legal requirements for the manufacture, storage, sale, import, transport and use of explosives, with the introduction of the Dangerous Goods (Explosives) Regulations 2011.

Most of the requirements in the old regulations are the same as the new ones. However, there are some changes, which have been introduced to improve public safety and security and to clarify responsibilities so that the law is easier to understand.

The new regulations came into effect on 26 June 2011. However, licence holders retain licences issued under the Dangerous Goods (Explosives) Regulations 2000 until they expire.

There is a 12 month transitional period, which means that any lawful activity under the Dangerous Goods (Explosives) Regulations 2000 will remain lawful for 12 months after the new regulations come into effect.
