On local compactness in quasilinear elliptic problems
Khalid Adriouch and Abdallah El Hamidi
One of the major difficulties in nonlinear elliptic problems involving critical nonlinearities is the compactness of Palais-Smale sequences. In their celebrated work [7], Brézis and Nirenberg introduced the notion of critical level for these sequences in the case of a critical perturbation of the Laplacian homogeneous eigenvalue problem. In this paper, we give a natural and general formula of the critical level for a large class of nonlinear elliptic critical problems. The sharpness of our formula is established by the construction of suitable Palais-Smale sequences which are not relatively compact.

I actually started writing articles months ago, the oldest back in November. Though the reason I had for these was to add to my books, as I was working to wrap up Go Thunk Yourself, Compleat! As I found out about articles, I started seeing these take a slightly different form. But I quit writing these as the book wrapped up, and I had other books to edit and publish.
Now I'm being "pushed" to get some articles out and make the marketing sell the books. I dusted off some of these articles - trying one from the archives and one from a blog entry - and they both did fine. Only published them each on two article directories so far. There are more good directories to find. (The funniest one was a paid site - and they said they charged less than others. This is like the real vanity presses who sell you on the idea of paying them to publish your book, while Lulu does it for nothing up front. Let the buyer beware.)
However, this is very satisfying work. The hardest work is writing fast enough to get the Muse's concept out before it vanishes (replaced by more mundane ideas).
Another interesting one is where they stop accepting new authors on some sites. Run into this before. Like these guys never heard of the Law of Attraction or believe in having a business plan. If you can't handle the expansion, get out of the kitchen - which is what they do by shutting the doors. The greatest articles directories are ones with very simple applications and instant access. They run as an Content Management System, meaning they can be easily configured on the top of most any computer with a database.
Ok, back to our marvelous life. Once I get a dozen articles posted to fifty or so different article directories, then I'll be doing OK with all this. Other than that, I'll have to revamp my Lulu storefront to make sure it now becomes a sales page. With my upgrade of worstelldesign.com, I'll be able to handle more traffic. And I want to start collecting email addresses so that I can start sending out my own newsletter, plus keeping my own articles available for download and RSS collection. All the nice goodies which will make this a tidy income source. At least that's the plan.
Next on the agenda is working out how to write "media releases", which is a bit different from press releases. I'll practice by writing sales pages and releases for all these 30-odd books I've written, plus the MP3's and the CD.
Right now, I'm blogging to take a break from all this cut-and-paste into their programs. Figure I can keep a dozen or more sites open to their submission pages and so be able to get my articles published to each one in turn. One podcast I listened to said to write an article and then publish it to a hundred directories. Whew. But then it keeps coming back to me thousands of times in return. So I just have to get going on this.
- - - - -
update 022307
technical note: Firefox has an interesting ability to open many different links, each to their own tab. This makes the deal of posting the same article to many different article directories simpler. Make a page with all the links on it. Select the whole page. Open all the links in tabs. Work one tab at a time, posting your article (from NotePad clone) to each site. Firefox now has a built-in spell-checker, so this is much better. I don't know that you could have 100 tabs going, but I'll try it with twenty and we'll see...

Every (wo)man is tasked to make (her) life, even in its details, worthy of the the contemplation of (her) most elevated and critical hour. -Henry David Thoreau
Monday, September 12, 2011
There is a man on Intervention tonight that really reminds me of my dad. It is too much for me right now. I am a mess. I should not have been watching this show anyway. I cannot watch it without
crying sobbing. It was particularly bad tonight because I have already been spiraling (even further) downward for the last week or so. Then because I was thinking of my dad I pulled out old letters from him and my grandpa and my uncle. I think maybe I shouldn't have done that. I feel very defeated. I feel very alone. I feel very sad.

Ask Chef Nicole: Healthy Apple Granola Muffins
You asked for it, so here is another great snack idea for your kids (that you older folks will enjoy as well). You have likely made several trips to the farm by mid- October, or feel like you are mid-orchard as you stroll through the overflowing piles of fresh apples and pears at your local market. In keeping with the season, I came up with these delicious muffins as a perfect anytime snack... plus they freeze beautifully. For a little extra decadence, spread on some fresh apple butter. Please note that pears can be substituted. Enjoy, and tell your kids to post their opinion on the site!
Healthy Apple Granola Muffins
2 C. all-purpose flour
1 C. granola without raisins
2/3 C. brown sugar
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. apple pie spice
2 eggs
¼ C. apple cider
¼ C. canola oil
1½ C. grated apples
In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, cider and oil. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in apples.
Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 400° for 15-18 minutes or until muffins feel spongy when gently pressed. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm. Yield: 1 dozen.

Vine may not be dead after all.
Dom Hofmann, one of the three co-founders of the defunct Vine service, posted a teaser on Twitter that hints at a possible resurrection of the video-hosting platform. The relatively plain image consists of a rectangle in Vine's distinct shade of green, the Vine "V" logo and the number 2.
This isn't the first time Hofmann floated the idea of bringing back Vine, which quickly became the top free app in the US iOS App Store shortly after its standalone launch in 2013. On Nov. 30, Hofmann posted on Twitter that he was going to work on "a follow-up to vine," and that he is funding it "as an outside project."
Twitter originally acquired Vine in 2012. The service allowed users to record looping videos that were initially limited to six seconds long. Despite its simple premise, Vine became especially popular among young people and boasted up to 200 million monthly active users in 2015. In 2016, Twitter announced that it would discontinue supporting Vine and archived its videos.

If advertisers spent the same amount of money on improving their products
as they do on advertising, they wouldn't have to advertise them.
Will Rogers
Around 2008, I became interested in Applicant Tracking Systems or, rather, what I thought back then an ATS should do and how it should do it. I even toyed with the idea of developing my own, but the interest must have been not strong enough for this idea to go beyond a modest in-house working prototype used to train students. I am still interested in this type of software applications, which now manifests itself mostly in what I call a recurring irresistible itch to find bugs in them (Once a Software Tester, Always a Software Tester). So, here is one for your... amusement.
Let's say you are an employer using an ATS from a reputable SaaS (software as a service) provider.
A job seeker visits your web site, goes to its career section and from there is taken to your ATS.
Note: Technically, it isn't really your ATS since you just "rent" a "slice" on a multi-tenant ATS provided by a SaaS vendor. The applicant may or may not be aware of the fact that he/she is using third-party software, which depends, among other things, on how tightly the ATS is integrated into your web site and how familiar with this type of systems he/she is.
In case you didn't get it, let me show you another one. The screenshot below is from the site of another company, but the ATS SaaS provider and the bug are the same (pay attention to where the red arrows are pointing):
Here is what happened (the visible part):
When parsing an uploaded resume, the ATS populated the date fields in the "Education" section of the on-line job application incorrectly. The user corrected the values in the "Graduation Date" fields manually and submitted the HTML form. The form returned a validation error stating that the "Graduation Date" is before the "Start Date". Of course, the requirement that graduation dates must be greater than start dates would be perfectly logical if it weren't for one little problem: there are no "Start Date" fields on the above forms.
The only ways around this turned out to be
- either to delete the pre-populated education records and re-create them manually
- or to clear the values in the "Graduation Date" fields (luckily, they are not required fields) and save the records without the dates.
If you are curious what happened under the hood, read on, but first, without getting too technical (and, to some extent, intentionally oversimplifying things), let me explain how these software applications work.
1. There is absolutely no "rocket science" behind any software that collects data submitted by users (that is precisely what an application-submission part of any ATS does). It's just a bunch of input controls (e.g., text boxes, text areas, drop-down lists, radio buttons, check boxes, etc.) that a user can fill in, check/uncheck, select/deselect, etc. They are grouped into one or more HTML forms. Each control instance is mapped to a database column. When a user fills out, say, a registration form and clicks "Submit", the values from the fields on the form are written to the corresponding columns of a database table.
For example, a user fills out something like this:
INSERT INTO candidate (firstname, lastname, email, acceptterms)
VALUES ('John', 'Smith', 'firstname.lastname@example.com', 1);
candidate table with the values from the HTML form (we assume here that
id values are generated automatically and the "1" in the
acceptterms column stands for "yes"):
2. Most ATS today allow some level of customization. As you may have noticed, the above screenshots (representing two different companies that use the same ATS) look very similar, but they are not exactly the same: the second one has some fields that are not present on the first.
In order to provide clients, also referred to as "tenants", with the ability to customize a multi-tenant application, the most common design approach is to create a hugely redundant data model that can accommodate all (or, at least, the most common) business practices of all (or, at least, the majority of) prospective clients. Simply put, it means that the database behind an ATS can store almost any data: human names, company names, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, dates, social security numbers, academic degrees, GPA, security clearances... hair colors... numbers of missing teeth... (I am slightly exaggerating, of course). In addition to the pre-defined columns, there may be some "spare columns" to store something the software designers never though of. All those columns are mapped to corresponding input fields. Customization basically means that each client can choose which of the pre-defined fields to use. On some systems clients may be able to rename pre-defined fields. Some systems may also provide user-defined fields that correspond to the "spare columns" mentioned above. Some systems allow clients to modify the default grouping of fields.
So, whatever minor differences in how this customization is done on specific platforms may be, en général, clients "assemble" job applications from what their ATS SaaS vendor makes available to them. Fields that are not used simply do not appear on the HTML forms. The data model behind all client-customized interfaces on the same ATS is exactly the same. In most cases, the actual physical database is shared by all clients as well.
3. Another thing that is shared by all clients is the ATS resume parsing engine.
Most ATS today claim to be able to parse resumes and automatically populate on-line job application forms. Since about 2008, when I became interested in web-based ATS, I have checked out dozens of them, and I have not seen even one that does it well, but that is not the topic of this post (besides, to be fair, I must say that it is not as easy to do as some may think).
Anyway, the resume parsing script of an ATS tries to split uploaded resumes into elements that fit the database structure underneath the ATS, which, again, is the same for all clients. The parser is not aware of any customization made by individual clients.
Usually, an ATS will allow candidates to fill out forms manually without uploading their resumes, but most candidates are likely to prefer that at least some of the work be done "automagically".
Because all ATS vendors know that their resume parsing scripts are far from perfect, they pre-populate application forms as best as they can and let candidates edit them before final submission.
4. Before input values are written to the database, validation occurs.
Its primary and the most important purpose is to make the ATS (or any other application that involves user input) secure and prevent malicious code from being injected via HTML forms (we are not going to discuss security here).
The second most important purpose of validation is to make sure that the data collected make sense (at least, formally). For example, it is supposed to make sure that e-mail addresses actually are e-mail addresses and not just some useless strings of characters, that social security numbers contain nine digits, that there are no dates like "February 31", etc.
If a validation script finds invalid input values, it is supposed to show the user a meaningful error message that informs him/her how to correct the problem. Obviously, the above screenshots show very poor examples of such error messages.
Writing validation rules is a pretty tedious job, so, in order to keep their clients happy, ATS SaaS vendors tend to provide most input fields with default validation scripts that make sense to the software designers.
Now that you understand the basics of how these software applications work, I will try to explain what happened under the hood.
Let's say, a user uploads a resume. Under "Education", it contains two entries. The ATS resume parser parses those entries as best as it can and stores the "raw" data (I assume here that the values are written to a table, but they may as well be put into a variable - it doesn't really matter), but flips the dates of the two entries:
|University of Hof
|Political Science
|Hospitality School of Var
|Tour Guide
Next, the "raw" values are sent back to the user's web browser and displayed in an editable HTML form. However, because whoever "assembled" the form decided not to include the "Start Date" field, the "startdate" value is not displayed. It is still there - it's just not shown and, therefore, cannot be edited. So, the user/candidate/applicant corrects the "Graduation Date" values and submits the form, but the update fails because one of the new dates violates the hard-coded validation rule according to which the value in the "Graduation Date" field must be greater than that in the invisible "Start Date" field. Had the update not failed, the database table rows would look kind of like this (updated values are shown in green):
|University of Hof
|Political Science
|Hospitality School of Var
|Tour Guide
As I stated above, there are two ways users can bypass the meaningless error message the ATS returns.
One is to delete the pre-populated record that triggers the validation error and create a new one instead. In this case the table rows may look like this:
|Hospitality School of Var
|Tour Guide
|University of Hof
|Political Science
|University of Hof
|Political Science
|Hospitality School of Var
|Tour Guide
The other is to clear the "Graduation Date" field (which in this case, luckily, is not a required field) of the offending record. This will make the database table rows look kind of like this:
|University of Hof
|Political Science
|Hospitality School of Var
|Tour Guide
|University of Hof
|Political Science
|Hospitality School of Var
|Tour Guide
Thoughts, lessons, conclusions...
i. Design of software applications of the "Swiss-Army-knife type" is always based on some assumptions about what users really need and how they are going to use your software product. "Imaginary" requirements are dangerous, but, with such products, there is no way to eliminate them completely. Of course, you should minimize them by interviewing as many end users and stakeholders as possible in order to have mostly "real" requirements.
ii. Speaking of "imagination", software testers should think of different, even seemingly improbable, scenarios of how things may go wrong. Let me give you an example.
Here are "imaginary" (and intentionally oversimplified) requirements:
R1. Administrator shall be able to hide any one or all of the following input fields on the "Education" HTML form: "Start Date", "Graduation Date".
R2. Upon submission of the "Education" HTML form by Candidate, validation script shall check whether the value of the "Graduation Date" field is greater than the value of the "Start Date" field.
And here are the corresponding tests (again, "imaginary" and intentionally oversimplified):
T1. Logged in as Administrator, open the "Education" form in Form Design view. Verify that any one or all of the "Start Date" and "Graduation Date" fields can be hidden and the form can be saved. Logged in as Candidate, verify that the hidden field/s is/are not displayed.
T2. Logged in as Candidate, fill out the "Education" form. The value in the "Graduation Date" field must be set to a date earlier than the date in the "Start Date" field. Submit the form. Verify that the entered values are not written to the database and that the appropriate error message is displayed.
Someone at some point should have figured out that disabling one or both of the date fields should also include disabling of the validation script that compares values in those fields.
Unfortunately, the approach, when tests are "mechanically" generated based on imperfect requirements/specifications, is more common than one might think.
iii. The more customization you allow, the more chances there are that things will break. To predict all such scenarios is impossible. Therefore, there should be a balance between trying to make your clients happy by letting them customize all things imaginable and the risk of making them unhappy when all kinds of weird bugs start popping up. In this specific case, there is hardly any reason to let clients disable one date field in a pair of dependent date fields. Either disable both or none. Job applicants these days fill in an absolutely insane number of "boxes". One extra date field is unlikely to make them any more frustrated.
iv. About two years ago I wrote a post called Unless You Really Want to Look Like a Fool, Don't Save on Testing. The buggy application in question there was developed in-house, so the organization itself was solely responsible for the poor quality of the software. However, if your company uses a third-party commercial software as a service, things are not as clear-cut.
Should you just assume that the vendor has done enough testing to weed out most of the bugs? Whom are your users going to blame when they find a bug? The answer to the first question is simple: never assume that software is bug-free - it never is. As to the second question, I think that, even if you make it explicitly clear to your users that they are going to be redirected to a third party, anything that goes wrong will most likely be blamed on you anyway, but I may be wrong (ask your marketing/branding people).
v. On such systems, clients/tenants have very little room for testing their customized interfaces. In this specific case, I see no way how they could intentionally reproduce the bug I described. On second thought, that's not entirely true. They could enable both date fields, then enter test data, then disable the "Start Date" field and then set the value in the "Graduation Date" field to an earlier date and try to save. But, let's be honest, it is too complicated for a non-technical user.
What is not complicated, however, is to pay attention to user feedback. Whenever I identify a bug "in the wild", I always report it. This one was not an exception. Never heard from either the two companies or the software vendor.
Just in case I failed to make it clear, let me say that I did not write this to bash these companies (both of which, by the way, happen to be huge businesses of global caliber) or this ATS SaaS vendor (also one of the market leaders worldwide). It was just a pretext to share some of my thoughts about quality in the age when marketing budgets hugely exceed those of QA.

The Field in Dublin last night
Pretty much my favourite gig i've been to in years. Really properly euphoric, especially when the cheers went up during over the ice and the whole crowd danced solidly with hands in the air. Also when he added bits on guitar it sounded really really good. Certainly blew wednesday's of Montreal out of the water. Any one else off here go? Probably not. Also I want to go to see more electronic acts of that ilk now but i'm not really sure that there is anything else like the field...?
I love the field..
From here we go sublime is great album.
I find Matthew Dear, Telefon Tel Aviv, Apparat, Nathan Fake all share some similarities and are all pretty ace, but I'm not sure how many of them play live reguarly.
Add trentemollar and ulrich schnauss to that list..
And gui borrato, ricardo villalobos and booka shade fit into the dancier side of it as well.
i like the apparat and ellen allien album and have listened to matthew dear and gui boratto a bit (not enough though). i may have to check some of those others out, thanks!
PS I didn't realise this had posted multiple times, this is what comes of trying to post from a mobile phone on a train..
shit, i only just noticed all the other copies
sorry everyone, it just kept telling me it had timed out, arg
Have you heard walls by Apparat?
Seriously amazing electronica album. Ellen Alliens solo stuff is pretty good as well, but more on the electro side of that album.
i'm gonna look into that apparat album, cheers
i've already tried listening to some ellen allien but it didn't really do much for me
Apparat reminds me in many ways of a more intelligent and glitchy m83...
I <3 him. Ellen Alliens solo stuff has always left me a little cold.
Would love to have been there
but was lucky enough to be seeing Francois K and Robert Hood last night.
Would happily have made the journey to Dublin to see that. A promoter in Glasgow was trying to get him over last year, but apparently he's stopped doing solo sets and wants to do the full band show only, which was going to cost too much.
Can you stick up links for photos or any recordings (optimistic, I know) that might pop up?
Also, check out the monster minimal thread on here for a link to a live recording from the Berghain when he was doing the solo laptop thing. Might be on mr jimitheexploder's blog also, if he wants to jag it.
hmm, think i was making it up about the blog
but here's the mediafire link. Cheers to whoever uploaded this in the first place.
Thanks for posting that link.
That really is incredible, I would love to see him so much.
I would like to echo the Gui Boratto, Trentemøller, Nathan Fake, Booka Shade and Apparat sentiments. All slightly different from The Field but well worth a listen. Nothing quite compares though in my opinion.
apparently he played crawdaddy's in dublin last year too,
maybe he knows someone in dublin or something, he's not even playing anywhere else any time soon.
I don't have/know of any photos or recordings, sorry
Thanks for the link, it's downloading!!
I have that on my blog :D
posted it last September I think 'twas ages ago now, it's so damn good.
I love The Field
and I'm at a loss to think of anyone I like quite as much.
That visit to Dublin must have been fantastic.
After The Field, I would pick Villalobos' Fitzheuer Zieheuer and Gui Boratto's Atol and Chromophoba album (esp. the last four tracks), and also some Trentmoller's stuff like 'The Last Resport'.
Someone put Hello by Lionel Richie on in the pub last night
I heard that little guitar break towards the end and was like wow, didn't know that's where The Field got that from.
What do people think of the Sound Of Light EP?
I downloaded it yesterday (inspired by this thread to listen to The Field all weekend) and I'm just listening to it now.
The last song
'Night' is magic!

Beginning Bible Study
The beginnings of Bethany Church are rooted in God's intervention and transformation of the life of Ted Hegre in 1935. Ted and Lucile were newlyweds when Rev. Joe Stump spoke at the church they attended in South Minneapolis for a week of evangelistic meetings. Ted later wrote, "For the first time I heard God's estimate of sin and the sinner and I discovered I was hopelessly lost. But thanks to God, Jesus was revealed as the Savior of sinners and I accepted him as my Savior."
With a new peace and joy of salvation came a strong desire to learn God's Word. Ted became a voracious Bible reader. He carried a pocket New Testament everywhere and read as he rode the street car to and from work, on work breaks, and late into the night. He also read dozens of Christian classics—books on the life and teaching of Jesus. As Ted shared with friends the truths he was discovering, they encouraged him to start a Bible study. It started small, but by late 1942 in the midst of World War II, forty young people were coming regularly to the Hegre home on Sunday afternoons to learn. Many surrendered their lives to Christ.
Bethany Chapel
In early 1943 a friend told them about a two-year-old chapel for sale at 57th Street and Nicollet Avenue South in Minneapolis, which seated seventy people. He encouraged them to start a church. They hadn't thought in those terms and had no money. But after prayer and counsel, they were delighted when the sellers agreed to give them possession of the building without payment! In two years the chapel was paid for in full. With sixteen charter members they called Ted Hegre as the pastor. The first Sunday Service was Palm Sunday, April 25, 1943. They chose the name Bethany Chapel because in the Scriptures Bethany was known as the place Jesus loved to visit. Harold Brokke was called as the assistant pastor in 1948.
The Message and Mission
From the beginning, the cross and missions were primary themes in the preaching of Ted Hegre, who continued as Bethany's pastor for thirty-five years. He and others taught that what some called "the deeper life" was to be the normal Christian life. Christ had supreme claim to the whole life of every believer—claim to our possessions, professions, and future plans.
One Sunday afternoon in 1944, Ted was praying alone when God challenged him that Bethany Chapel should send out missionaries. The number one hundred came to mind. He shared what had been impressed on him with the new congregation of only twenty members. The goal seemed impossible, but they began to pray for one hundred missionaries and enough money to send them overseas and keep them on the field. Five families from the church committed themselves to missions. These five families sold their individual homes, pooled their personal resources, and then moved into one large home in October 1945 to form Bethany Fellowship to fulfill the vision to train, send, and support one hundred missionaries.
Growth and Expansion
From this radical commitment, God blessed the efforts of Bethany Fellowship—one organization with different ministries including the church (eventually called Bethany Missionary Church), Bethany Fellowship Missionary Training Center (today Bethany Global University), Bethany Fellowship Missions (now Bethany Gateways), Bethany House Publishers (now owned by Baker Publishing), Bethany Academy (K–12 Christian school), Bethany Press International, and other entrepreneurial efforts started to support world-wide evangelization. From the fruit of their obedience and efforts, that one-hundred missionary goal was realized in 1974.
Our congregation grew and a new chapel seating 200 was built in 1950 on the current Bethany campus in Bloomington. Both Ted and Harold also taught in the missionary training program. Our current church auditorium was built in 1956 to accommodate the crowds for four annual conferences around themes of missions, spiritual life, prophecy, and victorious Christian living.
Speakers, Leaders, and Volunteers
Bethany's pulpit has hosted many influential Christian leaders from around the world, including Norman Grubb, Don McKaughan, Arthur Bloomfield, Leonard Ravenhill, Loren Cunningham (founder of YWAM), Ernest O'Neill, Charles Shepson, Elmer Murdock, Ray Mayhew, Helen Roseveare, Larry Christenson, Corrie ten Boom, Paris Reidhead (his message "Ten Shekels and a Shirt" is one of the Internet's top sermon downloads, which Paris preached at Bethany), Joy Dawson, George Verwer (founder of Operation Mobilization), and many more. Other lead pastors who have served include Alec Brooks, Ernie Haase, Dave Finsaas, Tom Correll, Mark Nysewander, and Matt Hedric. We are also grateful to associate pastors, visitation pastors, youth pastors, ministry leaders, and thousands of dedicated volunteers who've come alongside the message and mission of Bethany Church to make a difference in the lives of our community and in the nations of the world.
Bethany Church
In 2004 Bethany Fellowship (now called Bethany International) released Bethany Church to become its own legal entity. However, we continue to share the same vision and commitment to the transforming work of the cross, the empowering of the Holy Spirit, and fulfilling the Great Commission. We continue to look for ways to partner with Bethany International to see the world reached for Christ. For example, twenty-seven of the thirty-eight missionaries we support serve with Bethany Gateways, "taking the church to where it is not."
Leadership Structure Change
In early 2015 Bethany Church changed its leadership structure to a team-led approach, reflecting the plurality of church leadership found in the Scriptures. The current oversight team members include Matt Adair, Mark Anderson, Tim Freeman, Greg Hjelle, Doug Goodmundson, Derek Brokke, and Dave Willcock. The oversight team stewards the vision, doctrine, and culture of the church, and empowers ministry teams to lead the ministry of the church, which includes preaching and teaching, pastoral care, missions, prayer, worship, children and youth ministry, women's and men's ministry, and others. We presently have about twenty ministry teams.
Same Values, Renewed Mission
Today the values that gave birth to our church and to the move of God at Bethany still prevail as we cultivate a community of believers who pledge to continue "going deep, reaching wide, and living for the age to come." Since January 2017, we have also focused on a renewed mission to "make disciples, train and trust leaders, and plant churches" so the gospel will continue to take root in our own families, and in the hearts of every tribe, tongue, and nation in the Twin Cities and around the world.

Most people understand that wine enhances taste of food, and that different wines go better with different cuisine. There are some people who treat wine pairing like an unbreakable fiat, but that isn't the point: you can drink whatever you want with whatever you eat, but get the right food with the right wine and you'll have the flavors of food simply exploding in your mouth.
There are those who believe in beer pairing, as well, but since this is my tea blog … well, you can see where this is going right?
Just like wine, the flavor of a tea is dependent on where it is grown and how it is processed. All types of tea come from the same basic plant (Camellia Sinensis) but the most common tea served in the U.S., black tea, is allowed to ferment before being it is dried. This process results in a strong, oxidized product with a tannic taste. Certain other types of tea are only lightly oxidized, and some have no oxidation at all. This in part accounts for the variety of flavors, and can alter how teas interact with foods.
Artfully pairing tea with food can bring a completely new aspect to both the food being served and the tea itself. So what goes with what? At one time, you could simply ask your barista, but since more traditional shops " … are being quickly replaced by a fast-growing internet marketplace," you might find that difficult. Luckily, I'm here to help.
There are too many different combinations to pack into one post, but I thought I'd go over some basics.
Green Teas: Overall, most green teas tend to be subtle, with flavor and aroma that are more vegetative than anything else. That makes them well-suited to mild dishes like seafood, rice, salads, or chicken. Keep in mind that highly spicy foods can easily overwhelm the understated flavor of green teas.
Black Tea: As we've already mentioned, black teas typically offer heartier flavors and aromas, as well as the most pronounced tannins. That stronger presence is why black teas pair best with robust foods such as beef and other meats, as well as spicy dishes.
White Tea: Unblended white tea has such a mild presence that it can be overwhelmed by anything save the lightest flavors. A white tea could accentuate basic undressed salad, for example, but the natural
Oolong Tea: Typically, the flavor of oolong (wulong) teas is less robust than blacks and more subtle than greens. At the same time, it can offer fragrant tones that are at once recognizable yet exotic. Lighter oolongs work well as a snack accompaniment, adding a sweet accent to salted crackers or baked chips. Darker oolongs go nicely with smoked meats, lightly cooked meats and meat-based appetizers; it also pairs well with seafood and even some desserts.
Pu-erh Tea: Strong with a smooth yet deep and rich flavor, Pu-erh teas are known for their digestive benefits. That makes them perfect to pair with red meats, stir-fry and oily foods … but with the holidays coming up, it's also good to know they'll help settle your stomach after large, multi-course meals.
Obviously, this is a very basic guide, offering broad guidelines based on the typical flavor and strength of the tea versus that of foods. Which tea matches which meal becomes more and more of a personal choice as you experiment and become more familiar with specific teas. The only real rule is that one element should accentuate the other: as with wine, the perfect pairing makes both the food and the tea taste better.

Kintaro struggling with a giant carp while being aided by a group of tengu.
The tengu are mythical dwellers of the forests and divided into two classes: the ordinary human-shaped 'konoha tengu' with wings and a nose of inordinate length, and the bird-like tengu with a strong beak called karasu tengu (crow tengu). Both kinds are shown in this print. Carp (coi) are often represented leaping a waterfall and harken back to the Chinese story of a sturgeon of the Hang-Ho which, having swam up the river and crossed the rapids of Lung Men (Dragon Gate), became a dragon itself. At boy's birthday festival on the fifth day of the fifth month carp shaped kites are floated over housetops in Japan to encourage boys to rise to fame and fortune.
There is an ehon illustrated by Shuntei and written by Nakamura Utaemon III that is filled with fantastic characters, including tengu. The title is 'Itogoromo tengu haikai' (糸衣天狗俳諧) and it is said to have appeared in 6 volumes in 1815. One volume is illustrated online at the Waseda University Library.

Here's Maddy's first second day of school, sophomore year. It was a rainy + chilly day, perfect for the cheerful yellow rainboots and a cozy sweater.
Oh, I love this girl.
^And even though this is a little overexposed, I love it anyway. It captures her.
Here, I'll add a slightly underexposed one to balance things out:
. . .
When Maddy brought home all the paperwork and syllabi for the year, for some reason I recalled something Elizabeth Edwards once said. During her son Wade's early high school years she decided to read some of the books he was reading for class so they could discuss them and she could hear his burgeoning analysis and thoughts about life.*
Brilliant. Now that the kids are older, I feel a bit separated from them in their studies. I'll proofread an essay here and there but mostly Lauren and now Maddy and Sam have sailed their own academic ships. So in light of that, I started thinking that I'll read along with Maddy on a few of her books this year.
Here's the list for her sophomore English class:
The Catcher in the Rye, Salinger
Song of Solomon, Morrison
The Turn of the Screw, James
A Separate Peace, Knowles
The Crucible, Miller
short stories, Shirley Jackson and others
Ender's Game, Card
The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald
Walden, Thoreau
And films:
The Front (Woody Allen)
Persons of Interest (Alison MacLean)
Pretty great books, right? It'd be kind of like a low-key, mother daughter book group. That I...crash and wrestle into my own territory and attend uninvited? Is this a sweet & lovely idea or borderline helicopter parentish? I can't trust my judgment on these things anymore. I swing wildly from benign neglect to hovering. I blame the emptying nest and the fleeting years. Savor is my mantra. Gather and savor.
*p.s. In a sad turn of the story, later, when Wade died in an accident before his senior year, she would read the books for that year out loud to him at his grave. Heartbreaking.

what are drug indications
Others1 Comment
Drug indications are the list of medical conditions, diseases or symptoms for which the drug in question could be used to treat. Simply, the drug may be able to treat or relieve the indicated conditions.
People suffering with medical conditions listed under contraindications should not use the drug in question.
This overview is quite simplistic and it is therefore important to speak to your pharmacist and doctor if you are uncertain about the prescription.

I hope some of you would help me with some advice.
My buddy talked me into considering a 44. Carbine to deer hunt in the brush. (I have missed getting a shot off trying to find deer in my rifle scope too many times) My impression was of a fast handling, light gun with semi-auto.
I went out looking for one and ended up buying a 25th Anniversary model directly from Ruger in an auction. It turns out it is from Ruger's factory collection. It is brand new (Well, made in 1982) but never fired and still plastic wrapped in it's original box. They even sent me some other things including a cool certificate with info on this gun. CEO of Ruger (Fifer I think name was) even hand signed it!
Problem is, when I took it to gun shop to get looked over and get a rear peep sight installed, the Gunsmith told me I was a fool to do this and to shoot even one round through it as it was a collectable gun.
Now I am concerned I would be better off with a nice used one as I went looking for a gun to hunt with, not one to look at. I am certain to scuff this up where we do drives.
I have a few questions I would love help with:
1) The letter sent mentioned "Blank Box End". What does this mean?
2) If I keep it, are there things I should do to protect it that are different from my other used guns in gun safe? (Should it be oiled up, stock waxed, leave it alone, leave it in box, etc.)
3) Should I leave it as unfired or just be happy and enjoy hunting with it?
I know I like these guns and think I plan to just buy another to hunt with. Just a bit disappointed as I didn't plan to worry about ruining something special.
(I also posted this in the Rifles section as I was unsure where to place it)
I would really appreciate some help.

Re: Help with NIB 44. Carbine 25th Edition
Not sure exactly how many were produced, but, in my humble opinion such a well documented gun and in NIB condition would be worth more putting away than shooting it. Ruger did produce that gun with a receiver sight, not sure of the Model designation and/or how many were produced. Regardless of what opinions you get, remember that it was your dime that bought it and you should do with it as you please. My dad gave each one of my sons a NIB Winchester Commemorative carbine and had their names engraved in the stocks! One was a Golden Spike, the other a Cowboy. So I would say the value, and the pleasure you get from a firearm is in the eye of the beholder/owner. Good luck. What ever decision you make is going to be the right one because it's your gun, Coogs.
Re: Help with NIB 44. Carbine 25th Edition
Thanks Coogs!
I am pretty sure I am going to get another after thinking this over.
Any idea what what a Blank Box End means?

Schools, take on supply teachers permanently
At NonStop Education, we've noticed many schools are currently heavily reliant on supply teachers, who have been filling urgent gaps since the beginning of this year but many of whom now see their positions at risk.
While many of those supply teachers say they would continue in post permanently, their expressions of interest in permanent roles have gone largely unaccepted by schools, pointing to a skills gap or a perception they are too expensive. But with a smaller pool of available permanent candidates, schools would do well to consider taking supply teachers on permanently or risk continuing reliance on supply staff.
Or they could consider international candidates. This is an approach that has found success in other sectors, such as social care, but does not seem to be very common in the education sector.
Oliver Jones, team leader, NonStop Education
Allied health specialists will leave the NHS in droves
I'm a speech therapy locum (freelancer) and most of my jobs are in the NHS. Due to the way I work as a locum, my contracts have always been outside IR35. I work away from home and incur significant expense (usually about £800-900 per month, including travel). My hourly rates were capped last year and I am already earning less. I have never earned the rates that doctors earn, as agencies were already operating within set price agreements. The caps are usually enforced by an intermediary liaising on behalf of the hospital (an additional cost that was not present before the caps, which consequently negates any cost benefits of caps).
Public bodies and agencies are already applying blanket recommendations of being inside IR35. This means I will be personally out of pocket on all my expenses, plus have none of the benefits of being 'employed'.
The recent changes will make no difference, as already contracts are being worded to reflect a status as 'inside IR35', when in practice, once working, we are actually outside IR35. A good example is supervision – I have never had any documentation to support this happening.
I am making plans to leave the NHS and this country altogether. My agency informs me several other locums have also decided to do this. That's less tax revenue right there.
With the advent of the mass exodus of EU staff, the NHS will be in a complete mess without its allied health staff as well.

Happy Thanksgiving Clip Art 2018 : Hello Friends , Today I Will Share Our New Latest Collection For Happy Thanksgiving Clip Art 2018. I Hope You Like It Don't Forget To Share In Your Friends And Family Member In.Happy Thanksgiving Clip Art 2018
Happy Thanksgiving Clip Art 2018
1. Over and over I marvel at the blessings of my life, each year has grown better than the last.
2. If you are really thankful, what do you do? You share.
3. The thankful receiver bears a plentiful harvest.
4. Thanksgiving is a time of togetherness and gratitude. Happy thanksgiving.
5. Vegetables are a must on a diet. I suggest carrot cake, zucchini bread, and pumpkin pie.
6. I am so excited this year getting to play the 85th anniversary Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.
7. Everyone knows on thanksgiving morning to get up, turn on the TV and watch the parade, so to be an actual participant is going to be fun and I'm looking forward to it. I am going to have to put on my deer hunting gear, though, to stay warm!
Happy Thanksgiving Clip Art
8. Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.
9. You may have heard of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. There's another day you might want to know about: Giving Tuesday. The idea is pretty straightforward. On the Tuesday after thanksgiving, shoppers take a break from their gift buying and donate what they can to charity.
10. Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.
11. If a fellow isn't thankful for what he's got, he isn't likely to be thankful for what he's going to get.
12. Thanksgiving is one of my favourite days of the year because it reminds us to give thanks and to count our blessings. Suddenly, so many things become so little when we realize how blessed and lucky we are.
13. In many ways, September feels like the busiest time of the year: The kids go back to school, work piles up after the summer's dog days, and thanksgiving is suddenly upon us.
14. To give thanks in solitude is enough. Thanksgiving has wings and goes where it must go. Your prayer knows much more about it than you do.

15. Thanksgiving, man. Not a good day to be my pants.
16. Thanksgiving Day, we do a huge lunch. Big family, like, 60 people, we get together. Everybody brings a covered dish, everybody brings a dessert, and we go all out.
17. Thanksgiving Day is a good day to recommit our energies to giving thanks and just giving.
18. Thanksgiving is probably my favourite holiday, it's a day that's American to the core and it's a day that's all about what and how we eat.
19. An optimist is a person who starts a new diet on Thanksgiving Day. Happy thanksgiving

20. My cooking is so bad my kids thought thanksgiving was to commemorate Pearl Harbour.
21. North Carolina was where you could have thanksgiving and feel like it was thanksgiving.
22. I love thanksgiving because it's a holiday that is centered around food and family, two things that are of utmost importance to me.
23. My mother loved entertaining, and I've followed suit, so we have big celebrations for new year, Passover, thanksgiving and birthdays.
Happy Thanksgiving Clip Art 2018
27. What I love about Thanksgiving is that it's purely about getting together with friends or family and enjoying food. It's really for everybody, and it doesn't matter where you're from.
28. Thanksgiving just gets me all warm and tingly and all kinds of wonderful inside.
29. There is one day that is ours. Thanksgiving Day is the one day that is purely American.
30. I love Halloween, trick or treating and decorating the house. And I love thanksgiving, because of the football and the fall weather. And of course, I love Christmas, that's my favourite of all.

que ilusion, el primer comentario del blog,
pues Rafa, te deseo la mejor de las suertes
en este nuevo proyecto.
un fuerte abrazo.
Pos para mí va a ser el segundo saludo.ResponderEliminar
Como tengo la cabeza perdida, no sabía que te habías lanzado a esta aventura. Desde Málaga, te deseo la mejor de las suertes, compañero. Ojalá que pronto veamos la burbuja de los ufo-mangos y yo pueda contar que soy el afortunado poseedor de un UFO U1 de primerísima factura.
Un abrazo y mucha suerte.
Marcello JPS
Rafa eres un artista como los de antes que tienen gusto por lo que hace y eso se nota en tus trabajos , desde Valencia tienes un fan de tus mangos , muchas gracias por tus trabajos.ResponderEliminar

Quisiera felicitar a Rafa por su magnifico mango qué hizo para mi.ResponderEliminar
Custom Kaiser corto pulido a espejo dio una nueva vida a mi maquinilla de afeitar, una autentica obra de artista !!
Gracias a todo su equipo por su simpatia y su velocidad.
Saludos de Belgica.
Rafael's work is second to none! I have acquired many handles over the years and NONE even come close to Rafael's work. These handles are truly pieces of art and they are an absolute pleasure to both look at as well as use every single day. The knurling is absolutely beautiful and the mirror like shine is a true reflection in how much Rafael cares and is passionate about his work.ResponderEliminar
Juan's communication, advise, and help throughout the entire process is exemplary as well. Juan and Rafael make a great team and are a true pleasure to work with. I look forward to my next order with them!!
- Anónimo24 de octubre de 2012, 22:15
Thank you Rafael for your great job and Juan for your communication.ResponderEliminar
I have many handles but my UFOs are the most beautiful. It's a pleasure for me to choose one of them each morning and we can feel that there is a part of rafael in each handle.
Now, my razors are completely different (weight, balance) for great shaves. These handles are adapted to my hand, with a nice knurling or mirror like shine.
I'm really sure that I will order a new handle!

- Dave, from California, USA31 de octubre de 2012, 22:03
Thank you so much to Rafael and Juan. It is truly a unique experience that every wet shaver should experience. From the ordering process with Juan to taking ownership of the handle from Rafael, it has exceeded all of my high expectations. It's easy to see the quality and care that have gone into these handles. In my opinion they are priceless and I look forward to having this work of art in my family for generations to come. Thank you again! -Dave from CaliforniaResponderEliminar

Thanks to Rafael a true craftsman who can create a work of art from a piece of metal my Godzilla handle is not only a truly beautiful thing to look at but it is perfectly wheighted to provide a perfect shave,the knurling looks fantastic as well as helping to prevent slipping from your grasp, communication with Juan was exeptional he kept me informed throughout the production, also when the postman arrived with my package the little case that held the handle is a nice touch and of course once opened and you look and touch that piece of art you cannot help but smile and think right i need another!!
- Terje from Norway15 de abril de 2013, 14:44
Thank you for excellent product and customer care; from the first communication to receiving and using the excellent and beautiful handle I'm very happy to say that my high expectations were well satisfied!ResponderEliminar
A big thank you to Rafael for the superb craftsmanship and attention to detail, my Kaiser handle is truly flawless and as well as being beautiful to look at it is perfectly functional and adds a sense of elegance to any razor head it graces.ResponderEliminar
Another big thank you goes to Juan who has been helpful and courteous throughout the process.

Sono arrivato qui tramite: "Ilrasoio.com "ResponderEliminar
Tutta la produzione è molto bella.
Forse, sarebbe meglio esporre delle piccole foto con accanto la descrizione, per poi potere cliccarci sopra per vedere la scheda del modello.
Appena avrò compreso le caratteristiche dei vari tipi di rasoio, ne cerco un modello a "3 pezzi" con una buona impugnatura, ne ordinerò uno.
Scrivo dall'Italia. Grazie. zena-2013
I just received this wonderful razor handle that say ... it is a beauty both in terms that hit, it is an extra smooth, like well in hand when shaving, it has an ideal weight and fully agree to all my shaving heads.ResponderEliminar
It is a work of craftsmanship that we did Rafael, bravo \ o /
Rafael thank you;)
Could someone please tell me the email address in which you place orders thank you.ResponderEliminarRespuestas
Currently not taking orders, friend. When we will be taking orders again, email will be published again. No date to do that. Please stay tuned. I apologize for the inconvenience.Eliminar
The titan fine handle is a really masterpiece. Great job! Thank you!ResponderEliminar
First I have to thank Juan for his excellent communication and absolutely a gentleman! Thank you very much Juan.ResponderEliminar
Rafael's work, what can I say?! Just pure work of Art! Everything is made to perfection. I don't think it's an exaggeration when I say UFO handles are without doubt the BEST razor handles ever made. I highly doubt any handles made in the future will reach this point of quality and perfection. I believe every wetshaver is ought to own at least one of these handles. A shave den is not complete without one of these magnificent pieces of art. Rafael, thank you very much for providing us with your beautiful handles. I would like to tell you personally that I appreciate your work and ask you to never stop making these handles. Aware of all the difficulties you go through to make your pieces but you work is unmatched. Myself and many others appreciate your work and will always support you! Best of luck, you are true artist.
What can I say about these wonderful UFO handles? Since I have held my Kaiser and Goliath handles and felt the metal warm to my touch I can state unequivocably that Rafael's handles are the most artistically complete and detailed works of metallic art that I have ever laid eyes on! I have used them with four or five razor heads (both vintage and new) and the balance of these handles is intuitive! Rafael you are a truly a great artist and the love you put into your creations is self-evident. You have my grateful appreciation for the privilege of being the custodian of these two beautiful handles. My thanks also to Juan for his role as the facilitative assistant to Rafael's genius.ResponderEliminar
Thanks again,
Un enorme agradecimiento a Rafael para su verdaderamente sorprendente pieza de trabajo. Este mango tiene un alma !!!! Un enorme agradecimiento a Juan, así, para ser tolerante conmigo y ayudar con el proceso de pedido. Dios bendiga a los dos.ResponderEliminar

Dittany Rose
Dittany graduated with a degree in Jewellery Design from Middlesex University in 1995. In the last few years she has taken up creative practice again after working in another career - language assessment. In that time her
practice has developed from painting and drawing, through printmaking and now back to jewellery. The images used in her jewellery were developed through print making, in particular screen printing. The evidence of her evolution through these art forms is clear in her work.
Dittany uses a unique combination of card and sterling silver to create jewellery that is light, water resistant and durable. Once her images are printed onto card, she cuts out the constituent parts using a laser cutter, a
technique that comes with its own challenges when dealing with paper and card. Multiple layers of card are then laminated together so that a strong bond is formed. For some pieces findings are added afterwards and for others they are embedded into the laminated card, thus making a feature of the functionality of the piece. Her inspiration comes from the materials and the processes she works with; a desire to experiment with both to see what forms are possible.
Her current collection includes stud earrings, drop earrings, brooches and pendants in a range of colours and sizes. Playful yet elegant, their design led approach is immediately obvious. She will be showing her work at Cambridge
Showcase hot on the heels of taking part in the Hepworth Wakefield Christmas Market.
Dittany's work is also available to buy online. For more information about her work please visit her website.

Glowing Baby of SS501
Just finished watching "Glowing She", 'course watched it only coz of SS501's Baby ! And.......WOW.....Hyung Joon sure can act !! Kim Hyung Joon was glowiiing and shiniiiing all the way....he really became the main attraction of the drama to me. No wonder he's grabbed by another drama production in a flash right after Glowing She. I'm sure many parties were eye-ing him as soon as his acting talent became apparent in the first episodes....bet he received a lot of offers and love-calls...kekeke...I really recommend you to watch it....it's not too slow paced and Baby is just hilarious in the first episodes....he and the leading lady got me laughing a lot ^^
Video from YT by EmmCourtois
I do love the song Baby sang in this part of the drama [above]...
Even though the ending was rather abrupt and vague, it's still a good drama....and we know who she preferred at the end anyway ^^ Very happy for Baby for his success in this production, and can't wait to see his future works in K- dramaland. Way to go, dearest baby !

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — Maine's Republican governor is using his likely last veto message to chastise the Democratic secretary of state over an election funding bill.
Gov. Paul LePage on Tuesday vetoed a bill to provide an additional $334,330 to cover the cost of November elections. LePage said taxpayers didn't get a chance to weigh in on the last-minute, "shifty" bill.
Maine voters will make history by ranking their candidates in November federal races.
Secretary of State Matt Dunlap said the money is needed to print ballots and prepare for the possibility of running a ranked choice tabulation after the election is over.
Lawmakers approved four bond questions late this summer. Dunlap said that move added a third page to the ballot, which has driven up costs.
Lawmakers will consider LePage's veto Thursday.

The New Jersey DOT Division of Property Management and Construction is currently overseeing the remediation and demolition of the 675,000-square-foot Kirkbride Building. Once part of the former Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital, the site's remediation process will include the removal of asbestos, lead paint, mold and other hazardous materials, according to the Daily Record.
The 165-acre property will be turned over to the county, although the project is currently estimated to last approximately two years. Morris County is planning to remove trees as part of the closing of two landfills on the site. The county purchased the land for $1, under the agreement that it conserve the land as open space.
According to the source, the DOT has submitted an application to the state Department of Environmental Protection's Parks and Forestry Division for permission to begin implementing its deforestation and reforestation plan.
There has been some pushback from local residents, who wished to preserve the historic building and its extensive grounds. However, Morris County Administrator John Bonanni told the Daily Record that county officials are in contact with the demolition contractors "to obtain some physical components of the original (Kirkbride building) to establish some form of acknowledgment (on the Greystone campus) of the magnitude of the structure that was once there."
Because of the significant scale of the project and the myriad concerns of residents, it is best practice to obtain the expertise of environmental consultants to ensure that the remediation effort is successful. As the land will be available for public use, and has been uninhabited and largely unobserved since 2008, these professionals can give residents peace of mind and confirm that the area is once again safe.

Handcrafted cold process soap. VEGAN
Never had a beer bar of soap before? Then you haven't lived!
Why beer you ask?
For its amazing lather and moisturizing properties of course!
Beer is also full of hops (flowers of the hop plant Humulus lupulus) which contain skin softening amino acids which may help soothe irritated and inflamed skin.
What about that smell?
You'll be pleasantly surprised, it doesn't smell like beer at all! In fact it's been scented with Cedarwood essential oil which is a rich, warm and woody scent.
The addition of oats makes the bar gently exfoliating.
Ingredients: Saponified olive oil, saponified rice bran oil, beer, saponified coconut oil, cedarwood essential oil, oats
*Due to this soap being handcrafted, no two batches are the same, so the soap may differ slightly to the display image.
Please keep soap dry between usage. This will give you a longer lasting bar and stop it from becoming soft. I like to use a slatted shower caddy, or slatted sop dish.

Magazine industry to launch marketing agency to talk up value to brands
The UK's biggest publishers are to launch an agency to promote the merits of advertising in magazines to brands and agencies as they look to arrest declining revenue.
The as yet unnamed organisation will operate in a similar manner to bodies such as Thinkbox, Newsworks and the Radio Advertising Bureau, which market the efficiency and effectiveness of TV, newspaper and radio advertising respectively through research and campaigns.
The body will be independent of the Professional Publisher's Association (PPA) but report to the PPA board. It is currently recruiting for staff and is expected to launch after the summer.
To now the job of marketing the value of magazines to advertisers and brands has been left to the PPA but it is hoped a purpose-built agency will be able to better promote what magazines can offer.
News of the launch of the agency was announced at the PPA's annual conference in London today (22 May). Speaking on a panel of publishers and agencies discussing magazine advertising, the chief executive of Cannes Lions and former managing director of FHM Phil Thomas said it was time for publishers to "put the knives to one side" and follow the lead of other media channels in presenting a united front to advertisers.
"It is time to realise that mobile and other media is the competition not each other. Mobile [through the Mobile Marketing Agency] works together on a global level and that's what magazines should do."
Recent data from the Advertising Association and WARC found advertising spend across all media grew 3.9 per cent in 2013 and is forecast to quicken to 5.5 per cent in 2014. By contrast, magazine ad revenue dipped 5.7 per cent in 2013 and is tipped to drop by 2.2 per cent this year.
Speaking on the same panel as Thomas, Bauer Media's managing director of advertising Richard Dunmall said it was important publishers "shifted the goal posts" by talking of the opportunities magazines provide or coverage will be dominated by falling circulation and revenue.
"There needs to be change of narrative otherwise the conversation of decline becomes self-fulfilling," he added.

Jewelry of Ideas: Gifts from the Susan Grant Lewin Collection
A visit of the exhibit Jewelry of Ideas: Gifts from the Susan Grant Lewin Collection at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York (ending May 28, 2018) gives a glimpse of the artistic complexity and intellectual challenge that characterize art jewelry.
Brooch, 2015. Designed by Kazumi Nagano.
Folded linen paper, nylon thread, gold wire, silver.
Fulfillment Necklace
Designed by Bruce Metcalf, 2004. Carved and painted maple, gold-plated brass, painted wood, plexiglass (case).
Lavendoux Brooch
Designed by Svenja John, 2002. Water jet-cut, surface treated, hand-colored and crafted polycarbonate (Makrofol).
Contemporary art jewelry questions the notion of preciousness. Its value rests on the innovative techniques and materials used as well as the artistic intent behind each piece. Knowledge of the artist's intended message deepens the appreciation for the piece which is often not immediately appealing based on standard aesthetic principles. A piece of wood on a wire, the image of a soccer player as a brooch (even with a shinny crystal) are not the kind of jewelry most of us are accustomed to wear.
Pendant Pendant Necklace
Designed by Otto Kunzli, 1986. Picture frame fragment, wood, steel.
Blinker Brooch,1988
Designed by Gijs Bakker and made by Tobias van Roojen.
To fully appreciate the pieces requires a questioning of our relationship to jewelry, its value in our society, the hierarchy it has created, the interaction of our body with objects of adornment.
Grey Heron Airplane Ring Object with Ring
Designed by Felieke van der Leest, 2006.
Textile (viscose,polyester/polyamide), plastic heron, 14kt gold, glass beads, marcasite.
Meticulously assembled over four decades, Susan Grant Lewin's collection reflects the breadth and depth of contemporary jewelry from the 20th and 21st centuries. The armchair traveller will enjoy reading the collection's catalogue that illustrates an extraordinary range of countries, artists, materials, techniques and societal issues.
Jewelry of Ideas: Grant from the Susan Grant Lewin Collection, Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, on view until May 28 2018.
All photos from Cooper Hewitt Museum website. Front page bracelet: Bracelet, 2009. Designed by Gaetano Pexce. Polyurethane resin.
