Your budget may not stretch but consider the camera below. Should produce good detailed landscape shots, but may be less pleasing for portraiture.

Man arrested for allegedly sending email threats to legislative candidate
Aug 09, 2012 (The Columbian - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- A Vancouver man has been arrested on suspicion of sending threatening emails to a legislative candidate.
Gary Owen, 50, was taken into custody Thursday morning on suspicion of two counts of malicious harassment, a Class C felony.
He allegedly sent two graphic, threatening emails to Eileen Qutub, a candidate for the 49th District, which covers western Vancouver.
Qutub said that after receiving the emails, which she described as "vile" and "sexually perverted," she alerted the Clark County Sheriff's Office last week.
"I know you receive phone calls and emails from people and they're exercising their free speech," Qutub said. "This individual wrote the most vile, threatening email ... It was not political speech." Owen allegedly sent the first email July 21 after he was upset that he received a campaign mailer, according to a sheriff's office news release.
"I do not know how you got my name and address but I would rather put a bullet in your stupid pathetic Republican (expletive) brain than vote for you," the email said. "Being a Republican and a woman you have no right ever speaking or having an opinion about anything." On Aug. 4, Qutub received a second email. Owen was angry because he had received a second campaign mailer.
"I will hunt you down and shove your spam junk mail flier up your (expletive) with a hot poker!," the email said.
Signing off the email, Owen said he wasn't "afraid of putting my info out there" and gave his full name and address.
Qutub said Owen had registered to vote in May, so he was part of her list of constituents to receive mailers.
After Qutub gave the information to sheriff's deputies, they contacted Owen, who admitted to sending the emails, according to the news release.
Clark County sheriff's Sgt. Shane Garder said deputies also referred the possibility of additional charges of cyberstalking against Owen.
Owen, who has no listed criminal history, is expected to make his first court appearance Friday.
Qutub is running against Annette Cleveland for the position vacated by Craig Pridemore.

Recent publications have proposed various information-theoretic learning (ITL) criteria based on Renyi's quadratic entropy with nonparametric kernel-based density estimation as alternative performance metrics for both supervised and unsupervised adaptive system training. These metrics, based on entropy and mutual information, take into account higher order statistics unlike the mean-square error (MSE) criterion. The drawback of these information-based metrics is the increased computational complexity, which underscores the importance of efficient training algorithms. In this paper, we examine familiar advanced-parameter search algorithms and propose modifications to allow training of systems with these ITL criteria. The well known algorithms tailored here for ITL include various improved gradient-descent methods, conjugate gradient approaches, and the Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm. Sample problems and metrics are presented to illustrate the computational efficiency attained by employing the proposed algorithms.

Flowers add color and gaiety to any special occasion and are a time-honored way to say thank you or beautify living spaces. However, cut flowers have become a multi-billion dollar global trade industry with a not so pretty underbelly rooted in where and how they are grown.
Historically in the U.S., flowers were first grown in greenhouses in Eastern states and later in Western and Southern states when commercial air transportation made preserving freshness possible. In the 1970's, the U.S. grew more cut flowers than it imported, only a small fraction originated in Colombia.
However, new market forces were unleashed in 1991 when the U.S. suspended import duties on flowers from Colombia to curb growing of coca for cocaine and to bolster the Colombian economy. [Read more…]

WINNIPEG, MANITOBA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/21/12 -- Canadian consumer confidence remained stable in the latest quarter according to the Harris/Decima-Investors Group consumer confidence index. The index currently stands at 79.0, compared to 79.1 in August.
According to Senior Vice-President Doug Anderson, "Over the past few quarters, Canadian consumer confidence has been the model of consistency, but when you look at what Canadians felt at this time last year, you see that there have been some changes worth noting. Perhaps most importantly, pessimism is much lower today and has been in fairly steady decline over the past 12 months."
"Canadian consumers appear to have a firm view of their economic environment," said Jack Courtney, Vice-President, High Net Worth Planning, at Investors Group. "This steady viewpoint bodes well for Canadians' long term financial planning, saving and investing efforts."
-- Overall, 24% of Canadians believe they will be better off financially a year from now. Conversely, 13% feel they will be worse off a year from now. This split has remained relatively consistent since last November. In August, this split was 24%-14%. -- Nationally, 80% of Canadians are either positive (13%) or neutral (67%) about prospects for the economy in the next twelve months. Conversely, 20% see bad times over this same period. Again, this measure has stayed exceptionally consistent in the last quarter. In August, it was 14% positive, 67% neutral and 19% pessimistic. -- More than four in ten (47%) believe there will be good times financially for the Canadian economy in the next 5 years, while 38% believe there will be unemployment and recession over this period. In August, this split was 47%-39%. -- Almost half (46%) feel now is a good time to make a major purchase. Conversely, 35% feel it is a bad time to make such a purchase. -- Almost one in five (18%) feel that are better off compared to a year ago, while 22% feel they are worse off. In August, this split was 18%- 21%. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Better off a Worse off a year from now year from now ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- One year outlook 24% 13% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Good times Bad times ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 year economic outlook 13% 20% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Good times Bad times ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5 year economic outlook 47% 38% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Good time Bad time ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Making a purchase 46% 35% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Better off than Worse off than a year ago a year ago ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Compared to one yr ago 18% 22% ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Importance of stresses in soil due to external loads.
Prediction of settlements of
bridges, Embankments
Bearing capacity of soils Lateral Pressure.
Soil is not an ideal elastic material. strain is the ratio of deformation to length and has nothing to do with working out. which is why spring scales work. A simplification therefore is made that under these conditions soil can be treated mathematically during vertical compression as an elastic material.) 3 . (The same assumption frequently is made in finite element analyses.THEORY OF ELASTICITY In Engineering mechanics. In an elastic material such as steel. strain is proportional to stress. but a nearly linear stress-strain relationship exists with limited loading conditions.
'' or is described as exhibiting ''near-linear elastic behavior. Soil is considered ''quasi-elastic. bearing capacity failures. When that happens any semblance to an elastic response is lost as shearing more closely simulates plastic behavior. There is a limit to near-linear elastic behavior of soils as loading increases and shearing or slipping between individual soil particles increases. and behind most retaining walls 4 . This is the behavioral mode of soils in landslides.
Limited thickness in the vertical direction underlain with a rough rigid base such as a rocky bed. The loads at the surface may act on flexible or rigid footings. All the external loads considered are vertical loads only as the vertical loads are of practical importance for computing settlements of foundations. The stress conditions in the elastic layer below vary according to the rigidity of the footings and the thickness of the elastic layer. 5 . The extent of the elastic layer below the surface loadings may be any one of the following: Infinite in the vertical and horizontal directions.
vertical stress бz. homogeneous (identical elastic properties) and semi-infinite.BOUSSINESCTS FORMULA FOR POINT LOADS A semi-infinite solid is the one bounded on one side by a horizontal surface. here the surface of the earth. at point P under point load Q is given as where. r = the horizontal distance between an arbitrary point P below the surface and the vertical axis through the point load Q. The problem of determining stresses at any point P at a depth z as a result of a surface point load was solved by Boussinesq (1885) on the following assumptions. isotropic (having identical properties in all direction throughout). and infinite in all the other directions. The variation of I with r/z in a graphical form is given in Fig. The soil is weightless. IB . The soil mass is elastic. .Boussinesq stress coefficient = The values of the Boussinesq coefficient IB can be determined for a number 6 of values of r/z. The load is a point load acting on the surface. z = the vertical depth of the point P from the surface.

Geotechnical engineers prefer to use Boussinesq's solution as this gives 9 conservative results. Westergaard. If µ. is Poisson's ratio. proposed (1938) a formula for the computation of vertical stress бz by a point load. The value of Iw at r/z = 0 is 0. is taken as zero for all practical purposes. a British Scientist. . at the surface as in which µ.32 which is less than that of IB by 33 per cent. Q.WESTERGAARD'S FORMULA FOR POINT LOADS Actual soil is neither isotropic nor homogenous. The variation of /B with the ratios of (r/z) is shown graphically on next slide along with the Boussinesq's coefficient IB.

Neglect the depth of the foundation.8 ft and at a radial distance of 16.56 ft below ground surface. and (b) Westergaard formulae for µ= 0. Find the vertical stress along the axis of the load at a depth of 32. 11 .Problem: Solve in the class A concentrated load of 45000 Ib acts at foundation level at a depth of 6.4 ft at the same depth by (a) Boussinesq.

Calculate stresses at a depth of 20 m below the foundation level by the methods of (a) Boussinesq. Also determine the ratios of the stresses as obtained by the two methods. 0) (6. 15). and (b) Westergaard at coordinates of (0.

637 at x/z =0. 14 . the stresses at any point in the mass due to a line load of infinite extent acting at the surface may be obtained.LINE LOADS By applying the principle of the above theory. The stress бy normal to the XZ-plane is the same at all sections and the shear stresses on these sections are zero. The vertical бz stress at point P may be written in rectangular coordinates as where. The strain at any point P in the Y-direction parallel to the line load is assumed equal to zero. / z is the influence factor equal to 0. The state of stress encountered in this case is that of a plane strain condition.
dams and the like. foundations of retaining walls.STRIP LOADS Such conditions are found for structures extended very much in one direction. 15 . embankments. such as strip and wall foundations.
the total stress бz at point P due to a strip load distributed over a width B(= 2b) may be written as The non-dimensional values can be expressed in a more convenient form as 16 . as Applying the principle of superposition. Fig. shows a load q per unit area acting on a strip of infinite length and of constant width B. The vertical stress at any arbitrary point P due to a line load of qdx acting at can be written from Eq.
17 .
18 . Assume the footings are placed at a depth of 2 m below the ground surface. Example 6.4 Three parallel strip footings 3 m wide each and 5 m apart center to center transmit contact pressures of 200. 150 and 100 kN/m2 respectively. Use Boussinesq's method for line loads. Calculate the vertical stress due to the combined loads beneath the centers of each footing at a depth of 3 m below the base.
We know 19 .
The one that is most important in the calculation of settlements of footings is the vertical pressure isobar. for any given load system. Normally isobars are drawn for vertical. Since these isobars form closed figures and resemble the form of a bulb.PRESSURE ISOBARS-Pressure Bulb An isobar is a line which connects all points of equal stress below the ground surface. horizontal and shear stresses. an isobar is a stress contour. In other words. 20 . Each isobar represents a fraction of the load applied at the surface. We may draw any number of isobars as shown in Fig. they are also termed bulb of pressure or simply the pressure bulb.

The depth of this stressed zone may be termed as the significant depth Ds which is responsible for the settlement of the structure.5 times the width of 21 square or circular footings . equal to 0. The depth Ds is approximately equal to 1. Terzaghi's recommendation was based on his observation that direct stresses are considered of negligible magnitude when they are smaller than 20 per cent of the intensity of the applied stress from structural loading. approximately 80 per cent of the total. Terzaghi recommended that for all practical purposes one can take a stress contour which represents 20 per cent of the foundation contact pressure q.e. takes place at a depth less than Ds. but the one that is of practical significance is the one which encloses a soil mass which is responsible for the settlement of the structure.

In the latter part of the book there are stretches of empty exposition and mundane dialog, such as:
"I called the office `Anybody looking for me?' I asked Miss Patterson when she answered. `Funny you should ask ...'"
Clichés such as "a flurry of activity" and "as good as his word" are used to carry action forward. Cars "screech to a stop" and a "chariot awaits" while "masses of humanity" are "teaming." By the end I was skipping pages. I agree with the other reviewer who said an editor was needed.
The bit with the big, strong, armed security guards failing to save their comrade from the boa constrictor was totally unrealistic, but it was still fun.
The book needs a good line editor. There were several (20 or more) instances where a completely wrong word was in a sentence, as if a spell check program was given free rein (always a mistake!) One guffaw-worthy example is when another character meets the heroine and a man, and demands, 'Whore you?' It took me a moment to realize the other woman meant 'Who're you?'
The characters were complete unbelievable stereotype cartoons. To the casino head known as the "Big Boss", to Lucky's brothel owning mother, to the out of towner security guard with connections even the police cant get, I really think Joseph Finder put a wig on and wrote this book. Lucky is a hotel "problem solver" who can apparently resolve any issue anywhere, anytime. Young Police Detectives "perk up like puppies" when the infamous Hotel employee "Lucky" reluctantly agrees to "solve this thing" regarding the murder of her friend. Lucky later enters a hotel suite where she is greeted by "Big burly security guards" who tell them an ANACONDA is currently in the process of killing a fellow security guard, while they stand calmly by and do nothing, Lucky takes their gun and shoots the snake in the head......Really?Read more ›

Whitcomb said it was a surprise to find out just how taxing being on the television stage can be even though she's wanted a performing career since she was little. "It was very emotionally and physically exhausting. Now I know why people on reality shows cry so much!" she said. "There's so much pressure."
And the demands haven't stopped since the group was cut from "The Sing-Off." They've been to Rochester, N.Y., for a holiday show and will be guest performers at the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella. Then they head to Hong Kong.
"We have five trips scheduled so far and more coming all the time," Walker said.
The girls have a challenge with the rehearsals since Walker is in Utah right now. "They send me music. I learn it and we rehearse when we get together," she said. "It's very different."
Meanwhile, she's trying to keep up with her classes. (She took her final exams in the four days between the Christmas "Sing-Off" finale taping and leaving for New York.)
Whitcomb has graduated, so she doesn't have that additional stress this time around.
"I did that during the first season of 'The Sing-Off' with Noteworthy, and it was so hard," she said.
Walker said her friends and professors "carried" her through her classes, offering her their notes and making concessions that made it possible to pass her classes with high Bs.
"I'm livin' the dream," Walker said. "I've enjoyed every step and bump, every success and every trial. I wouldn't trade the experience that I had for the world. I met the most amazing, genuine and talented people and am so grateful that I was presented with the opportunity.
"I just love performing — if I don't perform, I'll die," she said.

Another week passes without movement among the ACC schools in the class rankings. A commitment from three-star Ryan Izzo (Sparta, N.J./Pope John XXIII) was not enough to launch Florida State past Alabama and back into the No. 1 spot. With Izzo's pledge out of the way, it does not appear any conference school is on the verge of a commitment any time soon.

October 7th Early Morning Law Enforcement & Fire/Medical wrap up
Shortly before 2:30, Douglas County Deputies and Fire Medical crews were dispatched to the 2000 block of E 1400 Road, about one half of a mile north of Midland Junction on a report of an accident. The caller was a passerby who only reported a vehicle off of the roadway into a culvert. Deputies arrived to find a vehicle with one occupant pinned inside. Medics arrived and requested a LifeStar helicopter respond to the scene. After about 30 minutes of work, the driver was extricated. Following the extrication the driver was said to have gone into cardiac arrest. The injured driver was transported by medics to Lawrence Memorial Hospital at 3:38, with the assistance of LifeStar's medics on board the ambulance. As of this report there are no updates available on the drivers status. The accident remains under investigation and no other details have been released. More on this story can be found here from Operation 100 News.
Firefighters responded on a dumpster fire in the 2500 block of Redbud Lane at 2:59. Police reported that the Fire Department was investigating the fire as an arson. No suspect information was available.
Lawrence Police responded on six disturbances and conducted three vehicle stops this morning between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m..

Blue roundup: Is Big 12 option for BYU crumbling?
The latest development in the Big 12 and conference realignment is the report that Oklahoma will apply for membership to the Pac-12 by the end of the month.
According to Orangebloods.com, the Sooners and Oklahoma State want out of the Big 12 and are looking to go West.
There has been a lot of speculation about BYU joining the Big 12 when Texas A&M leaves the league to jump to the Southeastern Conference. But, once again, it would appear the Big 12's future is tenuous.
"If OU follows through with what appears to be a unanimous sentiment on the seven-member Oklahoma board of regents to leave the Big 12, realignment in college athletics could be heating back up," writes Chip Brown. "OU's application would be matched by an application from Oklahoma State, the source said, even though OSU President Burns Hargis and mega-booster Boone Pickens both voiced their support for the Big 12 last Thursday. There is differing sentiment about if the Pac-12 presidents and chancellors are ready to expand again after bringing in Colorado and Utah last year and landing $3 billion TV contracts from Fox and ESPN. Colorado President Bruce Benson told reporters last week CU would be opposed to any expansion that might bring about east and west divisions in the Pac-12."
BYU is coming off a 17-16 loss at Texas over the weekend. Here's the report from the Austin American-Statesman on the game.

Product Description:
LOST IN THE STARS, adapted from the Maxwell Anderson/Kurt Weill stage musical (which in turn adapted Alan Paton's renowned novel CRY, THE BELOVED COUNTRY), tells a searing story of apartheid, racially-biased justice, and father-son love. Minister Stephen Kumalo (Brock Peters) searches the gritty streets of Johannesburg, South Africa for his son Absalom (Clifton Davis), to find him imprisoned and awaiting trial on a charge of capital murder. The ensuing trial severely tests Kumalo's faith, as Absalom faces a too-quick, racist trial. In the process, Absalom marries his pregnant girlfriend, Irina (Melba Moore) and reunites with his father, but can Kumalo's faith carry them through this tragedy' How can justice ever triumph in such a biased society' Combining the fluid lyrics and music of Anderson and Weill, along with Peters' rich, sorrowful vocals, this film adaptation faithfully reproduces the effectiveness of the stage production, as well as the emotion of Paton's novel.

Violent Street Drummer Incident in Downtown Miami Caught on Tape
Where can you see a violent, wheelchair bound assailant striking out against street musicians playing dirty south drum beats? Downtown Miami, mothafucker. That's right, a YouTube user identifying him- or herself only as guaromiami recently posted a teaser of the incident. They're selling the full version in hard copy for $5, payable via PayPal. The unfortunate guys playing the beats got a nice sound, like freestyle-breaks-meets-Goombay on skins and steel. Enjoy the video.

A gritty and dark piece of British prison drama,
This review is from: Starred Up [Blu-ray + UV Copy] (Blu-ray)
Starred up shows British film making of the highest quality. It is a dark, gritty, powerful and compelling piece of film making. It tells the story of a young and volatile offender Eric Love. He has been transferred to an adult prison, notorious for prisoning dangerous criminals. He acquaints with his father, who is serving a long term period in prison. Can a bonding be developed despite an unhappy history between the characters? There are testing and emotional scenes between the characters. Eric's character is engaging, as we try to understand the struggles and hardships the character experienced in life. The character volatile behaviour can be uncontrollable, as he struggles to interact with other inmates and viscously attacks. Can he learn to control his anger? Can he survive in the prison? Starred is well directed. It is atmospheric, as it recreates the life in a prison of dealing with dangerous prisoners. It is well directed and very well acted from the cast. The characters and very well written storyline deserve strong praise. The film contains plenty of swearing and violence scenes, thus prompting an 18 certificate. It shows film making of a high professional level. If you are into gritty dramas, then I would recommend Starred Up. The film straight away grabbed my attention, the moment it started.

"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens....Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." ~ John Maynard Keynes
One Trillion, And Counting

"Critics seem to forget that while $1 trillion seems like a lot of loot to the average American family, the amount is pocket change for a government that steals so much from us each year. Think comparatively about these reductions—Obama requested $3.73 trillion for expenditures in 2012, so Ron Paul's 'draconian cuts' will leave us at the same spending levels we had in 2005."

Future of tennis on display at West Bank park during carnival
July 29, 2011 at 9:09 am | Mobile Reader | Print
|Thelezia Folse/Herald Guide
Bracie Jones (left) and Katelyn Moore get ready to take a swing as tennis balls come their way during a recent tennis carnival.
More than 100 people showed up for the event despite the dreary weather and 30 people signed up to become USTA members.
The St. Charles Parish Parks and Recreation Department and the USTA sponsored the event, which took place at the West Bank Bridge Park. The camp was geared towards those between the ages of 5 and 18.
The turnout was great considering the look of the weather, instructor John Hebert said. We were fortunate that the weather never chased the kids off the court and in all we signed up at least 30 new USTA members.
I think that the event will reach many more beyond those that showed up for the carnival.
The event was intended to bring community attention to tennis resources available around the parish and to promote the sport. In attendance were college coaches, high school coaches, tennis professional certified instructors, a USTA representative, area tennis club reps, college level players, high school players and lots of area tennis enthusiasts.
During the carnival, those in attendance got the chance to take part in games and drills that focused on teaching hand-eye coordination.
In some cases, games used unconventional balls like a Koosh ball to teach younger children how to catch a ball on a tennis rackets strings, Hebert said. Older children learned how to set up footwork for proper strokes.
Those that joined the USTA received a grab bag with more than $80 in local coupons for area restaurants and tennis shops, a free lunch on Saturday and a chance to be in a drawing with numerous pulls for rackets, balls and home tennis nets.
They also got all the benefits of the USTA membership as well, which include the ability to play in local, regional and national tennis events, a tennis magazine, national discounts and more.
I know the kids had a great time because it was difficult to get them off the court for the prize drawings, Hebert said. Several children stood out as tennis hopefuls...some kids just have a natural-born tennis stroke.
Its going to be exciting to watch these childrens tennis games mature.
The group will hold another event for parents and tennis team coaches at the West Bank Bridge Park on Aug. 24 starting at 6 p.m. Anyone interested in learning how to help a child learn to play tennis is invited and no previous tennis experience is required.
The goal is to start up a junior league tennis team in the parish during September.

I am absolutely speechless and horrified! How could any human being be so devoid of feeling and natural maternal affection to do something like this to her own babies when there are so many deserving parents who would give anything to rear a child? It is beyond my ability to comprehend!

If someone went into a public place then shot and killed seven people they would be a mass murderer. If someone captured seven children and murdered them they would be a serial murderer. She needs to be treated the same. We should hope she won't be treated differently because they were babies.

It seems to me that serious mental illness is part of the tragic circumstances. However, had she had abortions, she would not be in custody. We do live in an incredibly mixed up world, and much of it has to do with mental problems, lack of family stability and a host of problems that point to disobedience of moral laws. It is so sad. It is true that is what would appear to be her best option would have been giving up babies for adoption. I can honestly say I have had an experience with that, and it was for the best.

No one can hide anything from God. You can bury whatever you want, but it is never hidden. The real question, is that if you have something like this to hide... what put you in that position in the first place. Why anyone would do this, under any circumstance, is something I simply can't understand. Insanity doesn't even begin to cover this. It's evil.

This law needs to change ASAP!!! what's happened to these babies is sickening and because of this law this sick person will get away with it. If the father had rights this never would have happened.

I fear the saddest part of this story hasn't been written yet. Some sharp, soulless lawyer will step in and paint a picture of abuse, neglect, drug use, social denial. He'll tell how this poor woman is a victim of blah, blah, blah and is really not responsible for any of this horror. It's her ex-husband's fault. Or maybe her 8th grade English teacher. Can't wait to see how it plays out.

I am sitting here right now just sick to my stomach. I am so grateful that I am not her judge. Only God really knows what happened and Why. It is a shame though because there are so many Women out there that would love to be a mommy. My daughter who is now 40 years old is one of them. She would have loved to of been a mom and she would have been a great mother at that. But here we have a woman who killed seven little infants and for what reason. Truly a mystery

Sorry, but can someone please explain to me why we're shocked and outraged
by this mother's actions? We're a nation that allows and celebrates
a mothers the "right" to murder her unborn baby in the most brutal
ways imaginable. The end result of these abortions is so ghastly; DN would
never allow me to post pictures of the aftermath. Yet somehow we're
shocked and outraged by what this mother did?
Where's the shock and outrage at the other million babies who've had their lives snuffed out by their mothers through the barbaric practice of abortion? Sadly, some here will not be able to make the connection. We celebrate the deaths of some babies, and mourn others. We are a sick society.

Nan BW beat me to the punch, but today, babies are aborted that would be able to live outside the womb, and this is called "female reproductive health." And if you protest these abortions, you are waging a "war on women." But that is really not much different than this. Anyone horrified by this incident ought to be horrified by those abortions, and worse, horrified that society is so oblivious to it.

I have lived in Mariposa Lofts going on 4 years now. I absolutely love it here and it is in the MaryLin/Inman/Grady school district! The location of our unit is perfect for us. Just the right amount of sun for both balconies, no sound from any neighbors, looking over the pool, beltline & Atlanta skyline. Love the top floor! Carla and the front desk staff go above and beyond for me and my family and Mike and his team replace and fix things same day! Had my AC stop working... Whole new unit replaced the next morning. My range had some un-even heating in the oven...... 3 days later a BRAND NEW gorgeous convection drop in range! When things go wrong, I have never, ever felt like I was putting someone out. The series "Being Mary Jane" was just filmed here and I just found out that the whole building is going through a complete renovation. New gym, media center, exterior, front office and also the units! So glad that we chose Mariposa Lofts years ago. It really feels like we are on vacation everyday. :) Yes, there is a problem with break-ins to units as well as lots of cars. BUT now we have 2 security guards that walk the complex just for us and when I asked for an additional dead bolt to be installed on the front door it was completed the next day free of charge.

This place is actually really good for a couple of reasons. A lot of people seem to think this place is ghetto and full of riff raff. I've been living here almost 7 months now. The majority of people I see are African American, which basically means the people who make those assumptions are stereotyping based off of race. Tsk tsk. That and you would be surprised how many parking spots DON'T have cars in them lol. Anyway, what has impressed me the most is the staff here. They do not play. Felipe is seriously one of the best employees I've ever seen in that business. If you have a problem, he gets to the bottom of it period. Not just him either, the whole staff. I'm under the impression they are turning that place around and maybe it used to be kind of "ghetto". They are doing a good job if that's the case. I haven't had any problems there. Nor have there been any crazy incidents like cars getting broken into, murders, or crime in general. I think I got lucky because my back patio is very private and quiet which I love. I haven't had any issues here at all. None.
I've lived at The Crossing at Henderson Mill for the past 7 years. The management and maintenance staff have changed throughout the years and must say that over the past 2 years things have gone good to supurb. Living here has been the best experience I have ever had in an apartment community. Whenever I need something, the office staff goes above an beyond to assist me and my family. I have referred several people to this community and we really enjoy our homes. It is quiet and very peaceful. The property is kept clean, the maintenance staff is very efficient and always available to fix whatever we need, and over the past 2 years, the property has been very safe. The courtesy officer makes himself available at anytime and so does the manager and assistant manager. They will come to your home anytime for anything you need. In my seven years, I have NEVER had a problem with pest control. I absolutely love my apartment!

What does the CMO of 2017 look like?
The marketing landscape continues to evolve, and leading marketers are working hard to ride the wave. So what does it take to stand out from the pack?
We look at how geo-targeting and geolocation services are coming to the fore as marketers look to capitalise on the rise in consumer smartphone adoption, and why engagement is key to its success
Ever since smartphone makers began incorporating GPS receivers into their handsets, marketers have dreamed about making use of the technology. Their goal has been to use location to target consumers with messages based on not just who they are, but where they are.
But while telecommunications companies have talked about triangulating the location of consumers down to a matter of metres for the best part of a decade, a successful advertising model that uses this capability has yet to emerge.
For starters, consumers have hardly warmed to the idea of advertisers knowing where they are. On the flip side, even one of the most successful implementations of mobile location-based services, Foursquare, has not delivered a user base large enough to retain the interest of major brand advertisers.
But it seems that for those who have dreamed about a geo-targeted marketing revolution, it has been a case of 'right place, wrong time'. New technology initiatives and business models, and increasing consumer acceptance, could see mobile location becoming a much bigger part of a marketer's arsenal in 2014.
According to CEO of Brisbane-based mobile location-based services experts Locatrix, Mark White, the failings of many location initiatives to date stemmed from not taking into account what actual consumers want.
Locatrix developed Game of Phones, a smartphone-based game for Virgin Mobile which saw users collecting virtual prizes 'dropped' all across Australia. The game used location technology to determine when a player was within 50 metres of the prize, and then awarded them. White claims Game of Phones was Australia's largest-ever location-based game.
White cites specifically the idea that someone might want to be offered a discount coupon as they walk past a shop or fast food outlet as a failed idea.
"Everyone sees that as a use-case and everyone hates the idea of that as a use-case," he claims. "That's a value proposition geared more to the advertiser than the user. And what we have to do is look at location-based marketing and ask how we use location to make sure we give the benefit to the user at the most appropriate time for them."
According to White, the critical element when designing services that utilise mobile location is to ensure they have more attributes than just location. "If you are engaging purely based on location you are going to fail," he says. "What you need to be doing is engaging your audience, and engaging based on things which are a combination of location, profile and content. And that hasn't happened yet."
Tailoring goldmine
The potential of location-based marketing services through mobile continues to attract the interest of major brands and start-ups alike.
According to the managing director for Adobe Systems in Australia, Paul Robson, the quest to incorporate geo-location into marketing campaigns is a natural extension of marketers' desire to tailor those campaigns to the attributes of individual consumers.
"When we sit down to meetings with these organisations they all talk about personalisation," he says. "They want to have a personal relationship with their customers, and they want to be able to provide them with relevant content, relevant data, and understand what they want."
Adobe adds geolocation targeting to Marketing Cloud

Geo-fencing: Knowing your fans on tour
In many instances, brands will take what little geo-location information they can get, including making assumptions based on the IP address of browsing consumers, due to the strong uplift this can give to the effectiveness of offers, Robson continues. The ultimate goal, however, is to get consumers to log in to a service and part with more specific location details in the process, further refining the geo-targeting process.
Realising the opportunity, numerous Australian location-based services are poised to launch in 2014. These include the Melbourne-based start-up, Snap It Up, which aims to provide an engine for business to sell goods and services to nearby consumers. The concept essentially takes store-front advertising and extends it to people outside of line-of-sight.
Its co-founder, David Gillespie, believes Snap It Up will be especially effective for selling distressed inventory, such as for a hairdresser that has a vacancy, as offers can be posted in a matter of seconds. "From a bricks and mortar sense we know it works, and what we are doing is translating that," he says. "We are creating a hybrid between physical advertising campaign and a Web-style banner ad campaign, but the idea is it can drive traffic to a physical store.
"What this is really about is providing time and place location-based offers. If you are having a quiet morning, you have the ability to influence the sales you have that afternoon."
Another advantage of the model is that advertisers can learn now many people were in range of their offer but declined to take it up. Gillespie says Snap It Up is now talking to potential partners who operate in large numbers of physical locations. It will not be replicating the model of group buying services that have hired large teams of face-to-face salespeople.
"What we have come up with is a completely different business model that does scale without face-to-face sales," Gillespie says.
The company has also invested heavily in the technology behind Snap It Up, including developing a location model that does not rapidly drain the battery of the users' smartphone, and an enterprise grade ecommerce engine capable of handling millions of consumers, cross referenced to hundreds of thousands or stores.
"That has to be dealt with in real time as you move into the radius of the stores," Gillespie says. "You can't do that on an app."
The old and the new
The uptake of geo-location services is also likely to be helped by a plethora of new concepts now entering the market, such as Tile, which has developed tiny devices to help consumers keep track of items such as luggage or house keys. Another example is goCatch, which enables consumers to track the actual location of an approaching taxi. Such services are further familiarising consumers with geo-location technology.
Also playing a role in the revival of geo-location services is one of the oldest mobile technologies – Wi-Fi. Vice-president of US-based ecommerce strategy firm, Acquity Group, Randy Higgins, has seen numerous mid-tier US retail clients seek Wi-Fi specific landing pages as part of a location-based strategy.
By encouraging shoppers to log on to a free in-store Wi-Fi network, Higgins says retailers can not only reach those consumers through the landing page, but also use geo-fencing technology from companies such as Digby to make offers based on where they are in the store, right down to the individual aisle. "While that creates risk around show-rooming, it gives them more control over the experience too," Higgins says. "Consumers are getting a different message based on whether they are at the counter or the point of sale."
Higgins says this strategy has delivered results for the US electronics retailer, Best Buy. "Two years ago the company was seeing massive attrition based on people going into look at a product and then buy it on Amazon," he explains. "They've seen some reversal of that, by adding value to the experience in the store as well as being able to match prices.
"So it is almost table stakes that show-rooming is going to happen, and it is up to retailers to manage the message to the customer on their device."
By having shoppers on their own network, retailers can also determine when consumers are comparing prices online, and with whom, giving them better intelligence on their competition and the ability to better match process.
Higgins says the next evolution will see integration of these campaigns into in-store digital advertising, enabling a more personalised experience that does not require the consumer looking at their mobile device.
"The potential is endless – I think we are at the tip of the iceberg," he adds.
But according to White, whether such solutions prove viable in the long term will depend much more on the quality of the offer made, rather than the technology used to make it.
"A lot of problems with location-based services have not been technology problems," he says. "They have been creating a user experience that has been most compelling for the advertiser, not the consumer. It is all about creating engaging experiences."
For those advertisers that persevere, the rewards could be great. According to Snap It Up co-founder, Frank Stranges, should his own company crack the code it will enter into a fundamentally different way of communicating with consumers.
"Everything else to this point has been about communicating with consumers on the basis of who they are, whereas this communicates with them on the basis of where they are," he adds.

When most marketers use the word 'data', what springs to mind are large sets of numbers, Excel spreadsheets, cloud-based IT systems and complicated algorithms. Big data speak is the mot du jour. There is even a big data Week in London called the Festival of Data.
New problems are rarely fixed by applying old thinking. In the last decade, a combination of circumstances has evolved that requires new thinking from marketers. This new thinking takes advantage of the digital environment and transforms business as we know it.

"This is a basic hotel. If you want to just use it as we did, a resting point at night as we explored pompii, vesuvius ETC. Then it is ok. The area around the hotel isnt the friendliest, but with it so close the the train station, you dont need to hang around much if you dont want to!"

This hotel, however, is partway down a side street with little traffic (and in typical Naples style, l..."
