Branding Tips to Increase Sales
Tags: Branding
I have been reviewing a lot of companies to see how their brand is doing. I also am interested in how successful these companies are at becoming with both strong brand building efforts and without what is typically thought of as "branding". One thing we have noticed is that you may be able to build a super-successful brand by using anti-branding methods.

Gap has recently changed their logo and before we get into our thoughts, we would like to hear what your thoughts are. Do you like the new logo or the old logo better and please tell us why.

If you are not familiar with Chris Brogan and you do inbound or online marketing, then this is a guy you need to start keeping tabs on. Although I thought Chris was just someone who rose to fame due to massive twitter followers and an aggressive blog routine both of which are true, but he has also been around doing this stuff long before twitter and the term "blog" were ever around. By the way if you get a chance to see him live jump on the opportunity. He is a good speaker/presenter.
It is funny how some people prospect for sales leads. Over the last year and a half we have taken our website and online marketing very seriously. Part of this has included SEO (search engine optimization) and content marketing in order to "Get Found" on search engine.

Azerbaijan to up oil production with respect to forecast volumes in 2009
Azerbaijan, Baku, May 27 / Trend , S.Aliyev/
Azerbaijan will produce nearly 50 million tons of oil in 2009 compared to 45 million in 2008, a source at the Azerbaijani Industry and Energy Ministry said on May 27. The volume of production for 2009 has been forecast regarding problems in the Azeri-Chirag-Guneshli block.
"However, measures to eliminate problems in the Central Azeri field were taken without any difficulty which enables us to speak about increasing production for this year concerning forecasts," the source said.
About 52 million tons of oil was planned to be produced last year. But his volume of oil was not produced due to suspension of production on the Central Azeri platform (operated by consortium of foreign companies as a part of the Azeri-Chiraq-Gunashli fields), the minister said. Production was amounted to 44.5 million tons in 2008.
The Central Azeri platform stopped work on Sept. 17 2008 due to gas spark on the sea near the platform. The production on the Azeri-Chiraq-Gunashli fields has been fully resumed and has reached 900,000 barrels per day, the same volume produced before the Sept. 2008.
Azerbaijan has a great potential to increase production in several year. The republic can produce 65 million tons of oil per year. We will achieve such results. Here already existing fields are main point. Besides current fields, we have many perspective fields, Azerbaijani Industry and Energy Minister Natig Aliyev said earlier.

John Fuoco makes it a habit to ride with brothers Art and/or Dan on 1200K randonnees, where they also make it look easy. He and Art put in another successful ride at the Cascade 1240K last month. Thanks to John for another great story and congratulations on his latest 1200K completion.
Cascade 1240: Riding on Bikes with Girls
By John Fuoco
July 11, 2010
Day 1: Monroe-Naches 224 miles
Sounds easy doesn't it? Well it was, and it wasn't. On a cloudy gray 60 degree morning about 100 randonneurs set out from the Guesthouse Inn in Monroe Washington heading due south toward the first control in Cumberland. The entire group stayed together for many opening miles. The pace was comfortable and I availed myself of the chance to chat with several other riders, some of whom I would not see again in the coming days.
Perched on my ten year old steel Derosa with Carradice bag on the back and hub generator light on the front I felt well equipped for what may lie ahead. In Cumberland, 54 miles, I refilled my water bottles at a state park and somehow got separated from my brother Art. I am fortunate to have two brothers who randonneur and have never started a 1200 without one.
By Eatonville, 97 miles, the sun had come out and it was time to hit a Truly Scrumptious Bakery for sandwiches and Danish, while removing warmers and applying sunscreen. Riders piled into the tiny patisserie and filed out to be treated to a view of the majestic snow capped Mt Ranier looming to the west. This monster dominated the landscape in and indescribable fashion.
In the early afternoon hours Art and I hooked up with his Florida buddies, John Preston and Henrik Schroeder, and would remain in their company the rest of the day. Shortly after Eatonville I was visited by my all too reliable 100-120 mile bonk and fell off the back. I needed a refresher in the form of a Subway cheese and veggie sub to pick me up in the town of Morton where we turned east to head through the Cascade Mountains.
Leaving the Packwood control at 159 miles I was determined to climb White Pass at my own pace. On the early slopes I rode with Irene Takahashi, a very determined randonneuse from Colorado. She would finish this 1200 successfully but have a much more eventful story to tell. White Pass lasts 20 miles, climbing 2500 feet to a summit of 4500 feet. Mt Ranier continued to dominate the scenery. I waited at the summit for the group to come back together. Art had bonked near the top and was seen stopped eating carrot cake near the peak!
A fun descent ended with a right hand turn onto Tieton Road, a quiet forest road encircling the beautiful Clear Lake. We stopped that evening at a refreshing SIR manned control for soup, sandwiches, and friendly chatter. All of the SIR manned controls on this ride were staffed by friendly, knowledgeable and fast working volunteers. Shortly after our arrival the Texas Brigade rolled in. It consisted of Val and Robin Phelps and Brenda Barnell. Their chatter was loud and jovial and not inhibited by any need for reverence. My first impression was "this is a fun group."
Art, John, Henrik, and I rolled out with full stomachs after a satisfying rest. After a few more idyllic miles around the lake we were back on Rt 12 and enjoying a raging tailwind and a brilliant full moon all the way to our overnight stop at the Naches Middle School. Arriving at about 10PM we were treated to cold showers, cafeteria food, and a nights rest on rather firm wrestling mats. But you know, it was all ok.
Day 2: Naches-Quincy 206 miles
Up at four and on the road by 5, the four of us rolled out onto Rt 410 and up the Chinook Pass. The road was flanked by gorgeous greenery and the rushing Naches and American rivers. We caught some riders and coalesced with others until about 30 of us were spinning up the pass at a brisk pace. I can't tell you how exhilarating it felt to ride with my brother and that large group of riders in that early morning hour amidst all that verdant beauty. We turned around at an SIR manned control part way up the pass. John and Henrik got ahead of us. I remarked to Art how baffling it was not to see kayakers on the American River. We stopped at Cliffdell to remove some clothing, rejoining John and Henrik again.
We then took back roads, mainly Old Naches Road, through ever more arid terrain dotted with cherry tree orchards toward our next control at a Starbucks, mile 324. By then it was hot. I got a big iced coffee and a sandwich wrap. We then obtained ice and water from a grocery store and filled our camelbacks. Day 2 was the only day I used my camelback, a choice I do not regret. I needed it that day and did not need it the other three.
We then proceeded east on a long stretch of SR-24 through barren desert. It was hot and the going was hard when Art flatted at a seemingly inopportune time and place: in the wide open scorching sun. As we were getting ready to go again the Texas Brigade rolled by. We joined up with Val, Robin, and Brenda. With them were Chester Fleck from Alberta, and Christophe Denetre a young Frenchman. The seven of us would ride together to the finish.
Sitting in their paceline I noticed the guy on the front was not switching off. He pulled in fact for miles! Finally I said to Brenda, "Is he alright up there? Doesn't he need any help?" "Oh that's Pierre. He doesn't speak any English. I named him Pierre". "Pierre", later we learned "Christophe", did not in fact need any help. He preferred to sit on the front and set a steady pace. The rest of us would sometimes spell him briefly, mainly just to satisfy our own urges.
After over 40 miles on SR-24 we swung north toward the next control at Mattawa, mile 390. SIR treated us to fruit, sandwiches, and cold drinks. The control tent was small so when the next group appeared on the horizon we were encouraged to leave. Good thing too: it was mighty comfortable sitting in the shade.
From there it was 41 miles to our overnight control at Quincy. All I remember is hills and crosswind, hills and headwind. Chester suffered especially on this stretch, for which I am grateful. It distracted me from my own misery. We stopped 11 miles out to put our night gear on, rolling into the control well after 9PM. This time we were treated to warm showers (soooo nice), cafeteria food, and hard wrestling mats to sleep on. Once more it was all good.
Day 3: Quincy-Mazama 180 miles
After breakfasting on eggs and cereal our gang of 7 rolled north from Quincy into comfortably cool air just after 5AM. Some hilly desert terrain preceded a long climb up to a visitor's station on SR-17 at Dry Falls. SIR had a well stocked control there that was comfortably shaded. I sipped coke and chewed a pbj while enjoying a vista of desert canyons, more properly coulees I suppose, that reminded me of southern Utah. John and Henrik were there. John by then was nursing a sore knee that would plague him until the finish.
Leaving there and proceeding onto yet more desert hills I rode for a time with Tim Sullivan and Kerin Huber of California. I was amazed at the strength of the women riders on this 1200. In fact the whole group was strong. By Farmer, 499 miles, we needed another break. It was sandwiches and fruit and a failed attempt at catching a few Zs on a wooden bench. I was sleepy, but once back on the road the miles passed pleasantly. A tailwind helped. Val told jokes and generally harassed Brenda while everyone swapped stories. Val thanked us for staying with them contending that Brenda had scared off all but the non-English speaking riders (Christophe) and the feeble minded (us, I guess). Brenda, kind, sweet, and totally undeserving of this incessant ribbing, took it all with aplomb. A long fast descent brought us to a hot convenience store at Bridgeport where we enjoyed slurpies.
Yet more desert riding awaited us on the way to the SIR manned control at Malott, mile 558. My legs ached and longed for a real break but all the chairs were taken. So I stood chewing my cheese sandwich and a few grapes, washing them down with coke and a frappucino.
The mainstay of my energy consumption was sustained energy when it was cool, accelerade when it was hot, and hammergel. I also brought a few bars. The food options for me, a vegetarian, were somewhat limited at the SIR controls and even the stores we stopped at along the way. This surprised me in the state of Washington with its outdoorsy, organic leanings.
Minimally energized but moderately determined I headed for day threes major obstacle: Loup Loup Pass. On the lower slopes I startled and was startled by a rattlesnake on the road that I almost ran over. It was hissing and rattling and moving fast. This sight squandered some adrenalin I would sorely need on the pass ahead. Turning onto SR-20 we began to climb in earnest. Robin and Val quickly disappeared up the road. Robin is a tenacious climber, a trait she no doubt polished in order to drop her berating husband. I poked along at my own pace and met them at the summit after the 13 mile climb.
There we regrouped, all having made it up within a few minutes of each other. I remember my mouth being parched but all I had were warm fluids to nurse as we descended to the quaint town of Winthrop for a refill and a brief break.
From there we turned west into a full headwind for the final 14 miles to our overnight stop at Mazama, mile 610. There our SIR hosts outdid themselves by providing actual rooms with beds and showers in an actual lodge. Such luxury seemed out of place but certainly welcome as we were all by then quite weary and most appreciative of some comfort. We feasted on chili and rice (homemade vegetarian chili for me!), in the evening, and a full breakfast in the morning sandwiched around 6 hours of sleep.
Day 4 Mazama-Monroe 162 miles
Our luxurious overnight repast put us is a fine frame of mind for day 4's biggest obstacle, Washington Pass. It greeted us right away, ascending to the greatest elevation of the ride, 5477 feet over 18 miles. Having to divert to a campground bathroom early on, I got a late start and climbed alone for the most part. The views on the pass were the most stunning of the ride with towering forests, rushing waterfalls, and snow boulders. For the last several miles I had no other riders in sight, either in front or behind. But my group waited for me at the summit where we shared cheers and photos and joviality that had my sides aching with laughter.
Donning a bit more clothing we did a brief descent to the foot of Rainy Pass and climbed it back up to 4855 feet. There I saw rather tame mule deer who watched patiently as Chester and I slowly ascended, spooking only when we were very close.
We waited at the summit to regroup once more, putting on yet more clothing for the long, long drop off of Rainy. The temp at the summit of Washington Pass was 46, the coolest of the four day ride. As depleted of energy as we were, and not able to work to generate heat on the descent, it was easy to get too cold and too sleepy. I was actually quite happy when the descent ended.
Our next break was at a general store in Newhalem, mile 671 where we ate and restocked for a difficult headwind dominated 14 miles to the next control in Marblemount. From there we turned south on SR-530. The road was flat, even losing a bit of elevation. We rode at a fast pace for the 27 miles on that road with Christophe doing most of the pulling. It felt good to go fast on the flats and to know that this pace would help us finish before dark. Brenda who is used to the flats around Dallas felt particularly at home and took some hefty pulls.
After a refill stop in Darrington, mile 712, we continued for another 27 miles on SR 530 but it became very trafficky. We were glad to turn off it toward the last control at Granite Falls, mile 751. With just 21 miles to go the aches and strains took a backseat to the drive to end this ride. My hands were numb; my quads sore even to the touch, and my bottom had been ready to be off the saddle for hundreds of miles. But still I found some jump left in my legs, even attacking a few of the many steep little hills in the final 20 miles.
Although I have started all of my 1200s with a brother, this was the first one in which we would finish side by side. I felt a special bond with my new friends from Texas, Canada, and France. We even were teased in the final mile with a light rain shower just so we couldn't say we didn't get a drop of rain on the whole ride.
1200's are hard. This one, because of the good weather and planned overnight stops, was the easiest so far. Still, it was hard.
I got about 30, 000 feet of elevation gain on my little altimeter. 9k on day one, 5 on day two, 9 on day three, and 7 on the last day. That was a few k more than PBP and a few k less than Endless Mountains on the same altimeter.
I recovered nicely in about a week. It usually takes longer than that, but I attribute the rapid recovery to the planned overnight rests which we actually got to enjoy on this ride.
Finally, I neglected to mention that Val claimed to have beaten Robin to the top of White Pass on day one. This marked the first time he'd ever bested his wife on a long climb. Of course there were no witnesses but we have his word on it.

Teenager's Life In Singapore
A Teenager's viewpoint and advice by Julia, High School student at UWC Hello to all you teens out there! I know exactly what you are thinking right now. What on earth am I going to do in this strange "fine city" ? How am I going to ever find my way around? How will I ever have fun and make new friends in a boring city such as Singapore? Well my dear lads and ladies, let me just give you a little tour of all the interesting and exciting things to do and the right places to go, where all of us expat teenagers spend our time and energy. Due to the fact that Singapore is a 24 hour city, you will find it very easy to move around from place to place day and night through means of open transportation such as MRT, Bus and Taxi, all of which are cheap and very convenient…and no need to fear about getting lost, Singapore is such a small, well organized city that you will always find your way again. The two most popular meeting places for young people such as you and I are Holland Village and Orchard Road, which both offer a great variety of different activates. For those of you who love to waste their time, money and energy in endlessly cheap shopping malls and centers, Orchard Road is the perfect place to go to shop till you drop. You will find it difficult to decide where to start, because Singapore has simply everything, and when I say everything I really do mean EVERYTHING! After having shopped all day long you may find yourself struck by sudden hunger and thirst. No worries, Singapore is filled with plenty of cheap cafes, restaurants and food courts which offer a great variety of different foods and beverages. You will be most surprised and delighted to find that all your home favorites can be easily found at almost every street corner. For those of you who still find themselves restless and dissatisfied, Sentosa Island is the place to go for loads of wild rides and theme park action. If you are more of a calm and quiet person you might prefer the peaceful tranquility of the Botanical Gardens. Then there are probably some of you who just want to chill out am I correct? One of the best places to do this is the cinema, and you will be happy to hear that Singapore is absolutely filled with these. Still haven't had enough? For all you party animals who love to roam the city at night dancing and clubbing, the most popular nightclubs and pubs can be found at the riversides, Boat Quay and Clark Quay.

When I heard that today's lovely couple Cip and Jessie wed in Pinto Art Museum, I knew I was in for a treat. And oh boy. I was not disappointed.
Full of stylish and tasteful touches, their wedding was brimming with all things pretty. Everything was a wonderful combination of contemporary chic + aesthetics. I love their idea of holding an al fresco wedding reception in a museum and filling up the modern space with romance and class. I still can't get over how lucky their guests were to be treated with a private tour — replacing the usual cocktails with a tour around the museum.
I also love that Cip and Jessie chose to do a first look! It let them have that private, special moment before they said their vows and I think it was an awesome idea, if not utterly romantic!
Their photographer Nicolai Melicor was equally a star and I have the photos right here to show you why…
Let's altogether take this charming wedding tour, shall we?

BSoUP in the press
The January 2011 issue of DIVER
Magazine includes an article on the Beginners Portfolio
Competition 2010 which was won by Will
Will, who is a freelance video editor, hails from
Street in Somerset. Although he learned to dive twenty years
ago, he only did a few dozen dives until about 2005,
when he went with his family to the Maldives. Will couldn't
believe what he had been missing and since then has
made underwater photography the focus of all his
He first tried using an Olympus compact underwater
in 2007, after reading Martin Edge's excellent book, 'but found the
camera really frustrating - it would shoot RAW but there would be a
10 second delay before you could take another shot while it
recorded the data. I remember being underwater, watching
subjects swim away, wanting to tear the little hair I have left out
of my scalp and wishing I had my beloved dSLR down there instead. In
2008 I upgraded to a Canon EOS 40d and thought the time was right to
buy a housing". More..

Website of the Week - Trevor
Each week we are highlighting a BSoUP Member's
website. This week's choice is Trevor Rees.
Trevor started diving over 30 years ago and took
his first underwater pictures 26 years ago. His passion for
underwater photography has resulted in a wide variety of underwater
images - from close up macros though to wide angle scenics. Many of
Trevor's photographs have been highly placed in competitions and have
been published in diving or wildlife magazines.
Trevor uses photographic locations in the UK
ranging from Scotland in the north, to the Scilly Isles in the south.
Although he dives the south west coast of Britain most often, the
sheltered sea lochs on the west coast of Scotland are his favourite
area. He sometimes dives in Pembrokeshire and also on the north east
coast at Eyemouth and St. Abbs. Trevor also enjoys diving various
freshwater sites that are often overlooked for their photographic
Trevor lives near Worcester in
the Midlands where he works in the water industry. His livelihood
does not rely on selling images or photojournalism but he
occasionally undertakes commissions. This leaves Trevor free to use
his experience to work in a more relaxed way on his own photographic
interests. When not taking photographs Trevor is invariably found
planning his next shoot.

Nikon D7000 in a Nauticam NA-7000
BSoUP Committee Member and Wet Pixel Associate
Editor Alex Mustard has recently published an
excellent field review of the Nikon D7000 in a Nauticam Housing.
Alex concludes that 'The D7000 is an excellent
underwater camera that fulfils many briefs for Nikon users
underwater. As the replacement for the D90 it is currently the best
model for those wanting to get into Nikon SLR underwater photography.
But more serious shooters should not dismiss it, thinking it wholly
part of the D90 lineage. It packs plenty of pro-features into its
small frame (100% viewfinder, 1/320th synch, 14-bit A/D converter
etc). The reality is that the D7000 is also the best DX Nikon out
there, an important point for those wanting to use the Tokina
10-17mm. This camera is certain to have a very wide appeal'.
'The D7000 brings impressive image quality, extra
resolution from 16MP, very useable high ISO performance and full HD
video to Nikon shooters. I would choose one every time over the D300s
(and obviously any other DX Nikon), and I would understand any D300
owner who was tempted to upgrade, despite, at first glance, this
appearing as a sideways move. Autofocus is probably the only area it
lags marginally behind the D300 for underwater photography (trumping
it in most others), but it is so close as to be of little

Martin Edge's Photo Tips
On 5 November at Imperial College London
Alex Mustard and Martin Edge led a
one day workshop entitled 'On Underwater Photography'. As part of
days presentations Martin showed a series of video clips taken by
Jo Horrocks of himself and Keith
Lyall in Indonesia to illustrate some of his tips on taking
underwater images. For those who missed the sell out event or just
want to see them again Jo has compiled a video of these tips which
you can view on YouTube.
If you have a slow broadband connection you may
need to start the video and then immediately pause it until it has
completely downloaded before playing it.

BSoUP Photo Book - images taken with
compact cameras
BSoUP believes that good
photography comes from the skill of the photographer, not from the
camera. Photographic vision and knowing how to use the camera are the
most important ingredients for creating great underwater images.
Earlier this year we invited BSoUP
members to submit their underwater images taken using a compact
camera. From these a selection was made to create a Photo Book to
showcase their work at Dive shows.
BSoUP would like to thank all the
photographers who sent in images, whether they were used or not, and
Alan Larsen who edited and produced it.
You can view the book at www.photobox.co.uk/ and, if you want, purchase a

Charlie Savage reports on national security and legal policy issues, including presidential power, surveillance, drone strikes, torture, secrecy, leak investigations, and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. He began his journalism career as a staff writer for the Miami Herald in 1999. Four years later, he moved to the Boston Globe's Washington Bureau. At the Globe, he won a Pulitzer Prize for a series of articles about the use of Presidential signing statements by the Bush administration as part of a broader effort to expand executive power.
He moved to the New York Times' Washington Bureau in May 2008. Savage was one of the first journalists to write that Obama was continuing the same secretive national security and detention policies as those advanced by the Bush administration.
Savage has written two books, Takeover: the Return of the Imperial Presidency and the Subversion of American Democracy in 2007, which details the Bush administration's expansion of executive power, and Power Wars: Inside Obama's Post-9/11 Presidency in 2015, which investigates the history of the Obama Administration's national security legal policy.

Cialis was discovered in 1991 by Glaxo Wellcome. After several clinical trials it was approved by FDA in 2002. Since then, it's in the top 3 drugs for treating ED. It's also used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension. Each Cialis pill contains 20 mg of tadalafil, unless it's for daily use. Daily use pills contain 2-5mg of tadalafil.
The main difference between Viagra and Levitra is that tadalafil's effect last a lot longer – about 36 hours. That's the reason behind it's popularity. You just have to use daily pills and there won't be any worries about difficulties of getting an errection. Its working principle is the same as earlier mentioned drugs, after all, its PDE5 inhibitor too. And there's one last thing to mention – Cialis has no effect if penis isn't stimulated or the man isn't sexually aroused, in other words – you won't have an unwanted or uncontrollable erection.
Side effects are pretty much the same as Viagra's, but not exactly same:
- Headache.
- Indigestion.
- Back pain.
- Muscle aches.
- Flushing.
- Runny nose.
All side effects should wear off after few hours, although back pain and muscle aches can last as long as 48 hours.
Hi, my name is David. I was diagnosed with ED few years ago, when I was 23. It was terrible, I was scared to go to all the parties, bars and clubs because of it. It was so discomforting having to take a pill each time you want to have sex. The worst thing is that I couldn't predict it happening, so I had to make up various excuses for girls to wait. I wasn't comfortable with Viagra. Then I found out about Brand Cialis. Daily version of this drug was perfect for me. Now, I don't have to worry about my penis, I just need to drink one pill in the morning, and I'm ready for anything for the rest of the day. Cialis helped feel comfortable again.
Hello, my name is Carlos. I'm 36 years old. I've been using Viagra and Cialis for about 6 years now. Viagra was good for most of the time, but there was one thing that I didn't like about it – it's effects wear out after 4-5 hours. Me and my wife like to do it many times at day and night, but Viagra could keep me available only for 5 hours. That's when I found out about Cialis. It's working time is 36 hours. Now I have to drink one pill after breakfast and I'm set for the rest of the day plus the whole night. Brand Cialis is just amazing!
Cialis Brand without prescription belongs to the same category as Viagra and Levitra which are medicines that cure against erectile dysfunction. Studies done to validate the efficacy have proven that. Dosage of Cialis Brand can be adjusted based on its effect. Men with minor impotence can be treated with a 5mg dose of Cialis Brand, others, who are suffering from worse cases, may need higher doses of Cialis Brand, by as much as 20 mg.
Best Cialis Brand
Cialis Brand is the best known drug for treating erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction is a sexual condition that can cause distress among men, because it ruins their intimate life. Erectile dysfunction is more often called impotence and is defined as the inability of men to have an erection that is hard enough for completing any satisfying sexual activity. Cialis Brand stays in the body for about 48 hours and therefore can help treat this problem. There are millions of men in the entire world who suffer from this condition, but drugs like Cialis have provided a new medical hope to all those sufferers. Buy Cialis Brand online and be among these happy men.
How Cialis Brand helps?
Cialis Brand works in the body by increasing the blood supply to the penis and its surrounding areas. Due to the smooth blood regulation, penis becomes erect and hard easily. In this condition a man is sexually excited enough.
Effect of one tablet of Cialis Brand can remain in the body for more than 48 hours. It is a sufficient time for men to find their intimate moments for love-making. There is no need to hurry, as a man can achieve an erection anytime within this 36 hour time period. Small doses of Cialis brand helps men who have a chronic form of impotence. Buy Cialis Brand online and deal with your intimate problems fast and effective.
So with Cialis Brand impotence problems can be treated quite effectively. You can get Cialis Brand in our online pharmacy. We are a reliable drugstore to buy Cialis Brand.

Infographic: Who's Winning the Race on YouTube, Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump?
Zefr looks at how front-runners stack up
Donald Trump is usually quick to boast about how much he's winning—in politics, in business, etc., etc., etc. But now, it appears he's winning on YouTube as well, according to video technology and analytics firm Zefr.
Zefr's analysis of YouTube views for the month of May found that videos about the presumptive Republican nominee have amassed many millions more views than the combined total of Democrat rivals Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. Views of Trump-related videos increased by 42.8 percent from April to May to a total of 254 million. Meanwhile, the total 106 million views of Clinton-related videos were only up 0.68 percent from the previous month. Total views for Sanders videos fell 16.25 percent to 69.7 million.
"If all publicity is indeed good publicity, then Trump has a huge advantage," said Dave Rosner, Zefr's evp of strategic marketing.
However, nearly half of Trump-related views (47 percent) were for videos that expressed a negative sentiment about the candidate, while only 17 percent were positive. (The remaining 36 percent were neutral.) For Clinton, sentiment was even more negative—48 percent compared with 4 percent positive and 47 percent neutral. On the other hand, Sanders videos were far more positive, with 42 percent of views for videos expressing favorable sentiments, only 2 percent negative and 54 percent neutral.
Rosner said the majority of video views on YouTube are not being directed to official accounts. For example, the most popular Donald Trump video uploaded in May was from The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. (It portrayed Trump and President Barack Obama talking on the phone after the Indiana primary.) The most popular video about Clinton was an SNL skit.
In addition to analyzing videos about the candidates, Zefr looked at various political issues to see which ones got the most views during the month. Topping the list for May was criminal justice, followed by the environment, foreign policy and LGBTQ rights. Lower down the leader board were government programs, education, healthcare and immigration.
Here's a look at the stats for all three candidates:

This blog is for informational purposes only. Some links may be monetized. Thank you for supporting us with your purchases.
I've been cooking my way through the Zenbelly Cookbook: An Epicurean's guide to Paleo Cuisine by Simone Miller. I've made over a dozen of the over one hundred recipes in the book, and have enjoyed every one so far. Some are a little complicated and others, like the one I'm sharing with you today, are so simple and yet still very delicious.
One page 158 is a recipe titled Perfect Roast Chicken. It's not so much a recipe really as a method. It yielded a chicken for our dinner tonight that was crispy all over on the outside and tender juicy on the inside. Two ingredients: one whole chicken (about 3-4lbs.) and 1 tablespoon finely ground sea salt. I used pink Himalayan salt on a 3 1/2 lb organic chicken. Just coat the entire chicken with the salt and put it in a cast iron Dutch oven breast side up. The whole thing slips into a preheated 425 degree oven to roast, uncovered, for an hour. At the end of the hour use a thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165 degrees. If it isn't there then put it back for another 15 minutes. Keep checking at 15 minute intervals until the meat reaches 165. My chicken was done right at one hour. Let it rest for ten minutes and then carve and serve.
We've also enjoyed the Moroccan Shepherd's Pie, Creamy Purple Cabbage Slaw, Biscuits (the first grain-free biscuits my entire family has loved), and the best Chocolate Hazelnut Waffles I've ever had. This is one tasty cookbook that just happens to be Paleo.

Liggett went into the night tied with Santa Rosa's Klint Simpson for the point lead and the pair put on a great show at the front of the field over the middle stages of the Pit Stop USA feature. After exchanging the lead multiple times, everything changed when a spun car left Simpson nowhere to go and ultimately left him parked in-between the third and fourth corners.
Following that it was all Liggett up front, who took the Ed Entz checkered flag to score his third career Stockton Dirt Track triumph with the C&H Veteran Ent. presents Hunt Magnetos Wingless Tour. The win came aboard the familiar Brian Sperry owned C&H Veteran Ent. No. 51 machine.
"We've been really fast all year and it's great to get another win tonight for Brian Sperry and my team," Liggett said in victory circle. "I've had a lot of success at the Stockton Dirt Track and always love coming to race here. I want to thank all of our sponsors and supporters including C&H Veteran Ent, Excel Environmental Services, Walker Performance Filtration, Jarrett Soares Racing and Santa Mauro Race Products."
Santa Rosa's Terry Schank and Palo Cedro's Casey McClain had a good fight for the runner up spot, which in the end went to Schank, who continues to close in on his first win of the season. For McClain it marked his second consecutive podium with the C&H Veteran Ent. presents Hunt Magnetos Wingless Tour. Zach Kavert had a strong outing and raced his way forward to finish fourth at the checkered, with Angelique Bell also putting together a solid night to round out the top-five.
The top-10 was filled out by Chris Kerr, Marcus Smith, Sparky Howard, Brent Steck and Brandon Burd.
The Santamauro Racing Products Dash and Benic Enterprises heat race was captured by Klint Simpson, while Austin Liggett claimed LRB Inc. heat one and Gary Paulson won Speedmart heat two. Zach Kavert opened the night by setting the West Coast Race Parts fast time with a clocking of 16.586 around the 4/10 mile clay oval.
The C&H Veteran Ent. presents Hunt Magnetos Wingless Tour will return to action on Saturday June 10 at the Petaluma Speedway.

MONTREAL - Concerns about the credibility of Quebec's corruption inquiry are prompting new and uncomfortable questions about the resignation of Montreal's mayor last fall.
The Quebec government now says it didn't push the mayor out the door.
This after a major witness at the inquiry — whose testimony led to Gerald Tremblay's resignation — says he made up an anecdote he shared on the witness stand.
The revelation of some falsehoods in the testimony of former city employee Martin Dumont has cast new light on his claims about Tremblay.
Last fall, following Dumont's testimony, members of the government said the mayor should reflect on his political future — and Tremblay resigned soon after.
Quebec Premier Pauline Marois was asked at a news conference today whether she regretted dumping Tremblay. She denied forcing the mayor to quit and called the question "harsh."
"We did not dump Mr. Tremblay,'' Marois replied. ''We asked Mr. Tremblay ... to reflect. If he had made another decision I would have respected his decision.
"Mr. Tremblay made his decision. We did not force Mr. Tremblay to make his decision."
She also reiterated her confidence in the inquiry. However, the premier urged it to exercise caution because the "collateral damage" to people's reputation could be great.
The inquiry has heard multiple anecdotes about the former mayor's party having been corrupt, with witnesses describing how construction companies used illegal donations as a kickback in exchange for receiving public contracts.
Such payoffs were part of a broader scheme in which the value of contracts was allegedly inflated — and the extra cash was split between the Union Montreal party, corrupt bureaucrats, construction bosses and the Mafia.
Dumont shared several stories about such illegal transactions at city hall. At one point, he said, the mayor heard about illegal financing within his party and did nothing about it.
The allegation was politically devastating to Tremblay, who had always maintained his ignorance of such schemes.
Dumont has not recanted the part of his testimony about Tremblay.
But his self-described lie has created turmoil for the inquiry.
Much of Tuesday's hearing was spent dealing with his supposed lie about a receptionist for the party being forced to count $850,000 in presumably illegal cash donations.
Dumont was later caught on video admitting that he falsely implicated a young woman in the anecdote. Now he's challenging that detail, too. His lawyer is arguing that the videotaped confession is inadmissible and is accusing inquiry lawyers of obtaining the confession through trickery and by violating his legal rights.
The two days spent discussing the Dumont allegations have cut into precious time, as the commission has its October 2013 deadline fast approaching. The committee has yet to hear from numerous witnesses and has nine months to wrap up its hearings and produce a report.
The inquiry resumed Monday after a seven-week delay, which was used to hire additional staff and interview further witnesses.

SNOW: "Why I Love to Ski or Ride" Video Contest Winners Announced
March 25, 2013
"Why I Love to Ski or Ride" Video Contest Winners Announced
"Warren Miller Award of Excellence" Goes to PA Snowboarder
Lakewood, CO (March 25, 2013) -- The winners of the "Why I Love to Ski and Ride" Video Contest have been selected by a panel of three judges. The contest was a new element of the snow sport industry's Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month/Bring a Friend initiative. It was developed to help show the fun and exhilaration of skiing or snowboarding and to give amateur videographers passionate about the sports an opportunity to express them in a way that would inspire others.
Keith Korchok of Saltsburg, PA is the Grand Prize winner of the "Warren Miller Entertainment Video Award of Excellence" for his video called Something from Nothing. He also won a selection of WME videos, a $500 gift certificate from skis.com, a jacket from The North Face, and a subscription to Transworld Snowboarding magazine.
Korchok's entry is a personal story about what motivated him and his twin brother to create a terrain park in their own neighborhood so they could enjoy and share their passion for snowboarding. The brothers also snowboard at nearby Seven Springs, in Somerset, PA.
Dustin HInde, of Telluride, CO and Jana Rogers of Bend, OR also were finalists for their entries entitled Wish You Were Here and Jana and Elana. They each won a jacket from The North Face, a selection of WME videos and a subscription to either SKI or Transworld Snowboarding magazines.
Chip Lunsford of Atlanta, GA and Logan Fields of Manhattan Beach, CA received Honorable Mentions for their respective videos entitled I Have a Dream and Freeride. All videos are posted at: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLljVUZdCrPxSmYmOh4SS9fSYZnxWNjceI
Video contest judges were Senan Gorman, chief creative guy for North Pole Design, Halley O'Brien, independent videographer and Tom Horrocks, marketing director for SnoCountry. Sponsors were Warren Miller Entertainment, The North Face, SKI and Transworld Snowboarding magazines, skis.com and the National Ski Areas Association.
Korchok's work will be recognized during the Marketing Awards ceremony on May 2 at the NSAA national conference in Palm Springs, CA.
Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month/Bring a Friend is a national initiative dedicated to helping children and adults learn to ski or snowboard by taking lessons from professional instructors. It is supported by national, regional and local organizations and businesses in the snow sports industry in partnership with non-industry organizations that encourage active lifestyles.

Bill designed to stifle patent trolls likely to pass in the House
A bill designed to limit the amount of lawsuits Patent Trolls file looks likely to pass the US House of Representatives.
Another step to ending the endless stream of patent lawsuits filled by patent trolls is almost complete. Today AllThingsD is reporting that supporters are confident that a bill designed to stifle abusive patent lawsuits will pass in the House of Representatives later this week.
"The Innovation Act from House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R., Va.) is aimed at discouraging patent holders from filing frivolous lawsuits in hopes of extracting a settlement. The bill would give judges more discretion to limit discovery or award legal fees when a lawsuit fails to prove infringement," the report read.
With major corporations such as Newegg.com losing frivolous patent lawsuits to known patent trolls such as TQP Development something must be done, or innovation could be suppressed for decades while inventors, developers, and designers wait for existing patents to expire. Personally, I feel that the entire US and UK patent systems need a complete overhaul. They worked well during the industrial revolution and even somewhat well since them, but in today's world of 0's and 1's, we need to pay very close attention to what we allow to be patented, or we may miss out on the next big breakthrough in science.

Ernie Els started off alright yesterday. He chipped on the green at the first hole at Augusta National with a great chance to par, but that was the end of his good vibes—and, likely, his tournament. He missed a three-footer, then another, then three more before finally, mercifully, putting the ball in the cup after nine (9) shots. In the process, the four-time major champion wrote his name in a more unfortunate section of the history books: His is the worst first-hole score in 80 years of Masters Tournament play.

Dear Readers,
I am Markus Brunnthaler, the third generation owner and CEO of the company Miraplast. We are a medium-sized family company, whose story began 1964 in the Simmering district of Vienna. There, my great-uncle founded a private plastic injection molding plant that manufactured technical products for the electrical industry. In the mid-1960s, the development of a range of household items began. My father, Gerhard Brunnthaler later took over the shares in the company, which moved to Würmla in Tullnerfeld due to insufficient space in the 1970s. The creation of the brand name "Miraplast" also came about in this period.
We are known for always using the latest methods and techniques. This was already the case at the beginning of the 1980s when computer-supported machines, and soon afterwards the first CAD system came into operation. In 1988, another milestone was achieved through the automation of production. Today, there is the active participation in EU-wide research projects and the use of advanced process-simulation technology. Product quality, delivery reliability, and the best possible care of our customers are central to our company culture - This is also reflected in our ISO 9001:2008 certification, which we received for our processes. Through numerous workshops on health, teamwork, and continuous improvement, we continue to develop further ourselves together with our employees. With the opening of Eastern Europe, we also expanded and in 1995, Miraplast Hungaria was established.
I took over operation of the company in 2005 and have been running the business since then. The success of our joint activity led to expansion of the company locations in Hungary in 2007 and 2012. Numerous research projects, new products, and the development of markets outside of the EU have also changed our appearance. With the establishment of the brands MiraHome and MiraTech, we are now able to show the diversity of our range better than ever.
Welcome to our website!
The Miraplast team is happy to help you further.

Heavens To Betsy!
Holy Moses! If this isn't the greatest anachronism known to man! It's the Nagy Magical-Movable-Type Pixello-Dynamotronic Computational Engine, otherwise known as a computer. A really big, wooden computer.
The inventor of this charming interpretation says that "while charming in its reticence, the buzzing beige rectangle under a desk hardly seems a fitting aesthetic legacy for what is inarguably the most important invention of the last 50 years." Sounds reasonable doesn't it? So he has employed some good old fashioned anachronism (pun intended) to "create a false historical heritage for the modern computer".
I stumbled upon the website of Richard R. Nagy who retrofits modern inventions with the pomp and circumstance of the Golden Age of Industry. He makes the new... old again. Also check out his laptop which is to die for, and his made to order custom keyboards. If I had a few hundred dollars just lying around I would totally be commissioning something!

You can never quite count Arsenal out. The team overcame its struggles in the Champions League to play one of its best games of the year against a tough Olympiacos side and keep its dreams of European silverware alive. Olivier Giroud put in a terrific performance, notching his first hat-trick as a Gunner while continuing to have a spectacular season in the Premier League as well.
Based on his current form, Giroud was an absolute steal when Arsene Wenger snagged him out from under the nose of Montpellier for less than £10 million back in 2012. The modest investment has paid off in spades for the team. Giroud is currently having one of his best seasons yet and has proven himself as one of the most reliable strikers in the Premier League.
The French forward has scored 9 times in 10 Premier League matches, putting him in the top 5 for most goals in the league. Whether or not he will be able to continue his spectacular run will likely boil down to available playing time, because many important players are set to return from injury around the holiday break.
Many of Giroud's opportunities this season have come as a result of Alexis Sanchez being sidelined with a hamstring injury—and Giroud has definitely made the most of his moment in the sun. His goal against the beleaguered Aston Villa made Giroud the seventh player in team history to score 50 goals for Arsenal and we predict there will be plenty more goals in the forward's future.
Arsenal are currently pegged at 5/1 to win the Premier League, but we expect their chances to greatly improve in the coming weeks based on the team's latest performances and the amount of key players set to return from injury after the holidays.
Chilean striker Alexis Sanchez has returned to practice and hopes to be back in game-form in time for the big match against Manchester City. Midfielders Tomas Rosicky and Jack Wilshere are both likely to return by the end of January with even more players due to become available later in the spring.
While the return of Sanchez and company would definitely make an impact on the squad, manager Arsene Wenger said they will not rush the player back onto the pitch before he's ready. "He may be a bit short for City, certainly, but with Alexis you never know," said Wenger. "He is running already. I sent him back to Chile, where he has been running with the physio of the national team, and we will see what kind of state he is in."
With Sanchez healthy and Giroud at the top of his game, Arsenal is looking as formidable as ever as we reach the holiday break. We'll see how the playing time is redistributed once Arsenal has a surplus of scoring threats for the first time this season. However, that's a problem most teams would be pleased to have.

Premier League: Arsenal 2-2 Chelsea
This game was a classic derby, full of intensity and with plenty of chances to score for either team. Ultimately Arsenal saved a point thanks to Bellerin's late equalizer.
A point that sends back Arsenal onto the sixth place and further away for the top 4 Champions League spots. Things had started better for the Gunners with the goal opener struck by Wilshere into the net. But only a few minutes later the referee awarded a penalty to Chelsea for a foul on Hazard.
Chelsea came from behind to take the lead at 2-1 only ten minutes before the end. But with the 90 minutes up Bellerin concluded the thrilling four-goal half with a magnificent strike that left no chance to Courtois. A fair but disappointing result for Arsenal and Chelsea.
Arsenal Coach Wenger on another frustrating evening:

Did you know that poor customer service in the U.S. costs companies $62 billion?
Delivering customer service that goes above and beyond is paramount in today's highly competitive environment where instant gratification has become an expectation when it comes to customer support.
Marketers need to stay on top of shifting demographics and advances in technology in order to keep customers happy. Here are five customer service trends to keep top of mind.
Keep up with the millennials
Millennial customers – about 75 million people in the United States alone – are on the verge of becoming the most important and disruptive customers that businesses will work with. This high-expectation demographic prefers a more seamless and consistent omni-channel customer experience where their questions or concerns are answered as quickly as possible. Instead of being put on hold, they would rather go through digital customer service avenues like live chat, text message, email, social media, or self-service options.
Self-service options can be anything from website FAQs, to how-to or interactive videos, or idea portals that guide customers to the answer they need.
Don't underestimate the power and expectations of millennials. Get to know them better so you can provide customer service options that appeal to them the most.
Send in the chatbots
In April 2016 at the F8 conference, Facebook made a major announcement: It was going to open its Messenger platform to bots. As an example, Mark Zuckerberg demonstrated how users could order flowers from 1-800-Flowers through Facebook Messenger. If they needed more assistance, users could get in contact with human support by moving to messaging.
Ever since, chatbots have been in the spotlight, and, as a result, businesses have saved a lot of time and money. Bots have even helped to improve conversations with customers.
While chatbots are still in the early stages of both technology and user adoption, it's anticipated that more brands are going to experiment with this amazing support tool. In fact, Gartner predicts that more than 85% of customer interactions will be managed without a human by 2020. Additionally, chatbots are also expected to become the leading consumer applications of AI over the next five years.
Because customer service can make or break a business, embracing chatbots sooner than later could give you a leg up on the competition.
A personal touch is expected
According to the 2016 Microsoft State of Global Customer Service Report, 72% of customers expect agents to know information like their contact information, product details, and service history immediately when they begin engaging with a brand.
While personalization isn't a new concept, it's becoming more universally accessible, as well as easier to deploy. Thanks to the wonders of technology, it's never been easier to track customer preferences and use big data to spot trends and insights.
Simply put, companies can understand a specific customer's likes, dislikes, preferences, and buying patterns so they can deliver a stronger and more personalized customer service experience.
Customers demand (and expect) lightning-fast response time
There have been numerous surveys that have examined the impact response times can have on a business. Generally, it's been accepted that the faster the response, the more likely customers are to be satisfied — especially when 67% of global consumers expect brands to respond to their service questions, complaints, or praises on social media within 24 hours.
Because customer satisfaction relies so heavily on response times, you need to make sure you respond to your customers as quickly as possible. Thankfully, automation and chatbots can lessen the burden on your team by either steering the customer in the right direction, such as sending them a video that answers their question, or confirming that their inquiry has been submitted and will be responded to in a timely manner.
Customer service on the go
The number of smartphone users is forecast to reach 2.1 billion by 2020. As such, it's not surprising that customers have been essentially "rewired" mentally and emotionally to rely on their mobile devices — meaning that they're constantly by their side. As a result, customer service teams should be providing text and mobile messaging through apps like Facebook Messenger, as well as interactive visual IVRs that guide customers to the right answer quickly while they're on the go.
Even more interestingly, as more brands continue to experiment with VR, AR, and 3D, new and exciting mobile customer service strategies will begin to emerge. For example, a customer could aim a smartphone at a product and see a 3D version of the product appear on their screen. This is accompanied by interactive guides, how-to videos, tips, or even the ability to connect with a customer service representative through video or streaming app.
The bottom line
As technology continues to rapidly change and customer expectations continue to become more demanding, businesses need to invest in customer service so they can develop new strategies to meet those expectations — and keep customers happy and coming back for more.
