In response to the looming shortage of health workers in the country affecting mainly rural areas, in July 2005 the Benjamin William Mkapa HIV/AIDS Foundation (BMAF) launched its first home-grown programme, Mkapa Fellows Programme, or in short MFP.
The programme was initiated to complement government efforts to scale up care and treatment of HIV/AIDS in the country following the launching of the five-year National Care and Treatment Plan (2003-2008) targeting to reach 400,000-500,000 people living with HIV/AIDS.
By then, only one percent (4,581 people) of the targeted Tanzanians eligible to receive ARV's were reached in the middle of the implementation of the plan," according to Dr Adeline Saguti Nyamwihura, BMAF Programme Manager responsible for Capacity Building.
She says the situation was worsened by the fact that the country had a capacity to deliver quality health services by 32 percent.
In response, Dr Nyamwihura says the Fellows programme recruited teams of three's (clinicians, nurse and a third cadre which was to be determined by the districts whether a pharmacist or laboratory technician) to serve in 30 districts under the leadership of Council Health Management Teams (CHMTs).
A total of 99 skilled health workers were offered a three-year Mkapa Fellowship to work in 33 districts. The purpose of the programme was to recruit, train, deploy and retain skilled professionals to support the implementation of Tanzania's response to HIV/AIDS, including, but not limited to the National Care and Treatment Programme.
This scheme was financially supported by the Norwegian government.
Dr Nyamwihura says the support includes paying the Fellows remunerations and benefits throughout their contract period, orientation and induction training on care and treatment of HIV/AIDS, computer training and general management.
Other activities were conducting outreach for HIV/AIDS services where the Fellows teamed up with district officials to visit remote villages to conduct care and treatment services, transportation of blood samples to the regional hospitals which were the only facilities that could perform analysis for HIV/AIDS such as CD4 count being crucial in case management of HIV/AIDS cases.
Of paramount importance, too, were internet installations to enable transfer of data to the National Aids Control Programme through the established database and refresher trainings on leadership and management.
One of the achievements attained during the June 2010 to July 2011 project implementation is that the programme attracted and retained more than 90 percent of the health workers recruited to work in rural Tanzania.
"This is 20 percent higher than the projected retention rate. Sixty percent of the retained workers were mainstreamed to government public service, providing sustainability to the efforts initiated during the project," explains Dr Nyamwihura.
Another achievement is the MFP engagement in rural districts resulted in a five-fold increase in enrollment of clients receiving anti-retroviral treatments (ART) in districts that Fellows served, from 10,000 in 2005 to 60,000 by December 2009.
Similarly, more than 120 care and treatment centres in 33 districts were served by the Fellows.
"The government," says Dr Nyamwihura, "recognised BMAF's expertise in creating and managing human resource hiring innovation programmes and began several collaborative programmes, including Emergency Hiring Project that led to recruitment of 176 health workers to scale up HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria in 19 Tanzania Mainland districts."
She adds: "Through this project workers were deployed to dispensaries, health centres and district hospitals and it contributed to three-fold increase in enrolment and clients on ARVs."
According to Dr Nyamwihura, the Fellows have formed the Mkapa Fellows Alumni Association (MFAA), a registered entity with 83 members.
This association supports provision of quality health service in underserved rural communities through its members that are scattered countrywide.
The vast experience of the fellows in provision of HIV/AIDS services, particularly in the rural districts have lead to the Foundation using MFAA among the strategies to implement MFP Phase II, says Dr Nyamwihura.
"The project evaluation concluded that the programme achieved its goals. It recommended the expansion of services to use the current Mkapa Fellows Alumni. The future Fellows would continue with HIV/AIDS services to include Prevention from Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) as well as Maternal and Newborn Health services," explains the Capacity Building Programme Manager.
Reaching graduates through job fairs
In order to establish a sustainable base for increased health workers, the the Benjamin William Mkapa HIV/AIDS Foundation in collaboration with some government ministries has come up with innovative ways of reaching health graduates through job fairs with support from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) through the Tanzania Human Resource Capacity Project in Lake Zone and the Global Fund Round 9 through Health System Strengthening Project in Northern, Southern, Southern Highlands, Western, South West, Central, Eastern and Coastal Zones.
Pamela Maro, BMAF's programme officer (capacity development, says by conducting job fairs, students and graduates from health institutions get a chance to hear presentations from the ministries on their roles and mandate, vacancies that exist in health sector from the central government and scheme of services.
"Information is also obtained from the local governments on available opportunities for health workers in their districts. This motivates the students and graduates to join the health sector," she explains.
According to Maro, so far BMAF has conducted five job fairs in the Lake, Northern and Southern zones. Two other fairs are taking place in the Southern Highlands Zone (Njombe and Iringa regions).
A total of 1,552 graduates and final year students have applied for jobs; 113 were eligible as per 2011/2012 vacancies and 60 job applications have been sent to the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare for posting.
"The rest of the applicants will be graduating in 2012 and are therefore eligible for 2012/2013 vacancies. Nine more job fairs will be conducted in the remaining zones by February 2013.

- "I'm going to light the biggest fire the North has ever seen!"
- ―Mance Rayder
Mance Rayder is a recurring character in the third season. He is mentioned in the first and second seasons. He makes his first on-screen appearance in "Valar Dohaeris" and is played by Ciarán Hinds.[1][2] He is the leader of the Free Folk and a feared opponent of the Night's Watch.
Mance Rayder was once a noted ranger of the Night's Watch. He was actually born a wildling and is proud that he has wildling blood in his veins, but as an infant he was left at one of the castles on the Wall to be raised in the Night's Watch.[3]
As a young man, he deserted his post and fled north of the Wall to join the wildlings.[4] He rose to become the King-Beyond-the-Wall, a title bestowed on a wildling leader who manages to unify all of the tribes under his command. It appears he has held the position of King-Beyond-the-Wall for more than a decade, as Ser Alliser Thorne mentions he was King-Beyond-the-Wall during the previous winter.[5]
Season 1
Ser Alliser tells Jon Snow and Samwell Tarly that the wildlings under Rayder are hard, skilled men who know their country much better than the Watch do.[6]
A wildling raiding party takes Bran Stark prisoner near Winterfell. One of their number, Osha suggests taking Bran Stark as a captive to Mance. This suggestion is rejected as the wildlings are fleeing south in terror of the White Walkers.[7]
Season 2
Craster tells Lord Commander Jeor Mormont that Mance is assembling an army in the Frostfangs.[8] Varys reports rumors of the wildlings organizing under Mance to the Small Council.[9] Qhorin Halfhand predicts that the wildlings will be more dangerous under Mance because he used to be a man of the Night's Watch and knows their tactics.[10]
When she is captured, Ygritte points out to Jon Snow that the wildlings chose Mance Rayder to lead them, and he's not "King-Beyond-the-Wall" because his father was. Ygritte also says that Mance Rayder chose to desert from the Night's Watch to join the Free Folk.[11] Ygritte reverses the situation and takes Jon prisoner. She argues to the Lord of Bones that Mance will want to question Jon because he is the bastard son of Ned Stark, so they shouldn't just kill Jon on the spot. The Lord of Bones has also captured Qhorin and they march back to Mance with both captives.
When Jon Snow slays Qhorin, Ygritte mentions to the Lord of Bones that he can tell Mance Rayder who killed Qhorin. Jon's ropes are cut and they stand before Mance's encampment. [12]
Season 3
Jon Snow is brought to the main wildling camp and introduced to Mance Rayder, who asks him why he wants to break his vows and leave the Night's Watch to join them. Jon Snow expresses disgust at Lord Commander Mormont's complacency towards Craster and tells Mance that he wishes to join the side that fights for the living.[13]

Mance Rayder: "Do you know what it takes to unite ninety clans, half of whom want to massacre the other half for one insult or another? They speak seven different languages in my army. The Thenns hate the Hornfoots, the Hornfoots hate the Ice-river clans, everyone hates the Cave people. So, you know how I got moon-worshipers and cannibals and giants to march together in the same army?
Jon Snow: "No."
Mance Rayder: "I told them we were all going to die if we don't get south. 'Cause that's the truth."
Behind the scenes
Dominic West was originally offered the role but turned it down, as he did not want to be away from his family for so long to film in Iceland.[14]
Like a great many Game of Thrones cast members, Hinds is Irish, and thus has to effect a Northern accent when portraying a Wildling.
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Mance Rayder is a former brother of the Night's Watch. He was born as a wildling, but was given over to be raised by the Watch when still an infant. Chafing at the restrictions and orders that the Night's Watch places upon its members, he fled over the Wall and took refuge amongst the wildlings. Over several years he became a respected war leader and warrior, and eventually was made King-Beyond-the-Wall by acclamation. At the start of the books his name and growing strength has been noted by Lord Eddard Stark, who ponders taking an army beyond the Wall to deal with him before he is summoned south to King's Landing instead.
He is a large man with long brown hair that has gone mostly gray. Otherwise, Mance is noted for being a surprisingly unremarkable, average-looking man. Mance's age in the book is not given, nor how long he has been amongst the wildlings. However, Benjen Stark had never met him, suggesting that Rayder left before Benjen joined the Night's Watch after the events of Robert's Rebellion.

Cucumber and Tomato Salad with Marinated Garbanzo Beans, Feta, and Herbs
(Makes 4-6 servings, depending on what else, if anything, you serve with it. Recipe inspired by The South Beach Diet Quick and Easy Cookbook, with lots of adaptations.)
1 can garbanzo beans (chickpeas) rinsed and drained well
1 1/2 cups diced cucumbers with skin on
1 1/2 cups diced tomatoes (drained in colander if the tomatoes are extra juicy)
2 T balsamic vinegar (I like Fini Balsamic Vinegar)
3 T good quality extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup chopped fresh oregano (or use basil or parsley)
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup crumbled Feta (or goat cheese)
When you're ready to prepare the salad, remove beans from refrigerator and drain them in a colander, reserving the dressing. Taste dressing for seasoning, and if you don't have at least 3 T dressing, add a bit more balsamic vinegar and olive oil.
Dice tomatoes and if they're extra juicy, put in colander to drain while you prepare other ingredients. Cut cucumbers into fourths lengthwise, and then into pieces about 1/2 inch wide. (If cucumbers seem wet, pat dry with paper towel.) Wash oregano, spin dry or dry with paper towel, and coarsely chop using a chef's knife.
Combine tomatoes, cucumbers, garbanzo beans and oregano and toss with reserved salad dressing. Season salad with salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste. Divide salad among individual serving plates, and top with crumbled Feta or Goat cheese just before serving.

Russell May instructs his four-year-old black Lab, Joe, to fetch some medicine for him from the fridge. Partially disabled in an accident, May's own movement is limited. But with an adapted door handle, Joe can easily manage the task.
"Good boy," May says.
For the past two-and-a-half years, Joe has been living with May at his home in southwest Maine. He's a service dog specially trained to assist disabled vets. "It's been wonderful, I tell you the dog is as smart as can be," May says. "He likes to eat though."
Maybe that's why he's so good at opening the fridge. Joe can handle other tasks as well. "He can also help me pick up things off the ground, like coins, credit cards, keys," May says.
Turning light switches on and off is another specialty. "There it goes - he turned the outside light on," May says. "Good boy."
Russell May broke his back in an accident while serving as an Airforce mechanic in the Middle East during operation Desert Storm in 1991. While he's able to walk and has use of his limbs, he is often unsteady on his feet.
Having Joe next to him helps him remain stable.
Apart from his physical injuries, May - who's 45 - has also struggled with depression and post-traumatic stress. "It was difficult because I didn't know why I was always upset, why I was always - couldn't sleep, angry all the time," May says. "You don't feel like a normal person. You feel sort of worthless."
Having Joe's companionship has helped him cope with these emotions. Before getting Joe, May says he was hospitalized seven times for depression. Since he got Joe, he hasn't been back.
"I can't tell - you my life has changed so much," he says. "My wife will tell you - she says it's just crazy how much changed since I've gotten him."
Dogs like Joe take a lot of training. "Every one of them is incredible," says Dr. Ira Kaplan, a veterinarian with NEADS, a non-profit that provides service dogs for deaf and disabled Americans.
NEADS runs a program called Canines for Combat Vets, which provided Russell May with his black Lab, Joe, and which helps out dozens of veterans like him across the country. Each dog costs up to $20,000 to train, but for the veterans, there's no charge.
"These dogs are trained over a year-and-a-half period of time," Kaplan says. "I think everyone appreciates how much work it takes just to teach their own dog how to sit, so they can imagine how it is to train a dog to do some 50-some odd tasks. But I assure you that it's not a random event. These are pure-bred dogs, usually Labradors, and they were bred for this purpose."
Not all veterans' service dogs are pure bred Labs, however. In fact, some have no pedigree at all - take Anka for instance. She's a mutt. And she's also a rescue dog.
Richard Brewer (right, with Anka) is a decorated former Marine. He and Anka - a two-year-old black Lab-English bulldog cross - are inseparable. Brewer, who's now 50, has struggled with PTSD and traumatic brain injury for years. He says it's the result of being caught in a terrorist bomb blast in Beirut, Lebanon in 1984. At the time, Brewer was serving with a small Marine Corps detachment at the U.S. Embassy.
He says he tried to bottle up his demons and carry on as normal - until one day, it all got to be too much. "Four years ago I decided I would end my life," Brewer says. "And I sat in my basement with my gun in my mouth, and I couldn't decide whether I wanted to shoot myself in the mouth or in the temple."
During those seconds of indecision, Brewer decided he wanted to live. And that meant coming to grips with his PTSD. Today he runs One Warrior Won, a Portland-based non-profit that provides education and support for veterans and families affected by PTSD.
A big part of the program is raising money to provide therapy dogs - all of them rescues. He currently has about a dozen canines placed throughout the country, with several more in the pipeline. The dogs are trained to be sensitive to a person's stress levels, something that can help veterans cope with PTSD.
"Many recipients report being able to decrease their anxiety medications because they're getting a calming effect from the dog, versus a pharmaceutical drug," Brewer says.
Brewer says Anka's helped him become less reliant on medication. "She sleeps with me, sleeps next to my body. When she hears the increased breathing of a nightmare, or the increased temperature of my body, she will wake me up to try to break the cycle of nightmares."
Anka also helps Brewer outside the home when he's dealing with potentially stressful situations - shopping for groceries for example. "Normally I'm scanning constantly, looking at 6,000 things that could or could not go wrong in a grocery store or Walmart or wherever," he says.
Instead of focusing on all that, Brewer focuses on Anka, and he finds his anxiety goes away.

In the first of a series about life after prison, WNPR's Jeff Cohen tackles the story of parolee Dartanyon Blake, a man "who got in trouble as a boy, and who hasn't been able to get out."
Blake also happens to be the grandson of longtime city activist Isabel Blake.
Cohen writes: "He was released from prison last fall after a parole violation following a drug arrest.
Now, he's in a Hartford-area halfway house, taking classes, looking for work, and gearing up to go home - back to where his family is. Back to where he's sold drugs."
From Blake: "Hustling isn't just about selling drugs. It means focus, it means determination. It means motivation. Movement. That's hustling. That's what we're doing now. We're moving. Hustling to another opportunity to better myself, that's what I'm doing."
One hustler and fellow former inmate Blake looks up to? None other than Homemaking Queen Martha Stewart.

After meeting Burgh and catching a Sewaddle, Ash and co. take a stop at a Poké Mart to stock up on supplies. There Ash learns more about Pokémon Connoisseurs and waits in line to get his compatibility tested. He is then pulled into a shop by a girl named Burgundy who thinks herself as an S-Class Pokemon Connoisseusse. However, as Burgundy check all of Ash's Pokemons, she says that all of his Pokémon are horrible just because they attacked her because they think Ash is a great Trainer even though she doesn't think so. Iris and Cilan find Ash and Burgundy, who apparently has an axe to grind to get her revenge with Cilan for beating her at the Striaton Gym assuming that his words are very hurtful. Not only that, Burgundy also lied when she's "actually" not an S-Class because she's a C-Class Connoisseusse. Who will win the rematch?
When Ash, Iris and Cilan enter the Mart, they see all kinds of merchandise. Ash spots a group of people waiting. Cilan explains it is due to Connoisseusse - people who give advise how to bond with their Pokemon better.
Ash is waiting in the line, while a person speaks to him behind a curtain. She addresses herself as Burgundy. She first examines Ash's Pokemon - Tepig, Oshawott, Snivy, Scraggy, even Pickachu. As she makes her suggestion, each Pokemon becomes angry and attcks her. Burgundy becomes furious and advises Ash to change all his Pokemon, to which he, naturally, denies.
Cilan enters the room and Burgundy becomes even more furious, as she thinks Cilan is much more superior. She tells her tale that she battled with Cilan once and she lost. Then she got the license to become a Pokemon Connoisseusser, but (according to her) Cilan is better in that expertise. She wanted to challenge Cilan to a fight, but Cilan's brothers said that he was gone. Bugurundy then shows her badge she got from the Gym fight in Striaton City. Bugrundy then challenges Cilan to a fight.
Cilan brings Dwebble, while Bugrundy brings her Dewott out. Dewott attacks with Water Pulse, Water Gun and Razor Shell attcks, to which Dwebble resists using Protect move. Dwebble then attacks with Slash move, defeating Dewott.
Bugrundy then sends Sawsbuck, while Cilan sends his favourite Pansage out to fight. While Sawsbuck makes his first move, Pansage makes the counter move, Dig, to defeat Sawsbuck. In the end, Burgundy leaves, promising to fight Cilan once more.
- The S-Class Connoisseuse was voiced by Bella Hudson.
- All Pokémon held by trainers are Pokémon seen in previous episodes excluding Sawsbuck.
- Professor Oak's Live Caster: Dwebble
- Who's That Pokémon?: Dewott
- When Ash had sent out Scraggy he never called Scraggy back and later on Scraggy wasn't there with him.
- When Sawsbuck used Jump Kick and it misses, it does not feel recoil.

Two well documented incidents are a clear pointer to the fact that our honourable MPs are veering towards a dangerous path of politicising the constitution making process, by taking a partisan stand along political party lines. This does not augur well for both the ultimate outcome of the envisaged new constitution and the future of our motherland.
The first incident refers to what happened in Parliament when the Constitutional Review Act, 2011 bill was tabled for discussion for the controversial "second" reading in November, 2011.
The currently popular opposition Party for Democracy and Development (CHADEMA) had earlier vehemently opposed the tabling of the bill for the second time, arguing that since the document was rejected on being introduced for the first time in the House under urgency cover. Pretending that the November presentation was a second reading not only left much to be desired, but probably had hidden sinister motives behind.
CHADEMA and the civil society movement had also argued then that apart from having clauses curtailing democratic participation of stakeholders at every stage of the process, the rejected document was in English language, and had not been circulated widely to enable the citizens to give their vital input in the important national exercise.
As we are informed, CHADEMA legislators boycotted the sessions earmarked for debate on the Constitutional Review Act 2011 bill, thus leaving the stage for the majority CCM legislators and a few MPs from the opposition Civic United Front and NCCR-Mageuzi to run the show. What happened during the November 2011 house "debate" on this crucial bill was too dramatic to be forgotten by whoever takes the constitution writing exercise seriously, and is likely to confound constitution historians in future.
We witnessed party partisanship at its worst, as nearly every ruling party legislator who took the floor to contribute to the "debate" poured vitriol on the apparently uncooperative opposition party, as issues related to the bill's content were totally kept aside.
At the end of the day, the one-sided superficial debate produced the results expected under such circumstances – that is the bill sailed through without any substantial queries, even in areas clearly questionable when examining such vital document.
Making amendments in the constitutional review law endorsed by the President after holding consultative meetings with delegations of various political parties and civil organisations, was yet another incident which revealed that suspicion and taking uncompromising positions based partly on loyalty and, in some cases, excessive fanaticism, are some of the tendencies rearing their ugly heads as MPs kick-start the constitution making project.
The tabling of amendments hitherto scheduled for February 6, 2012 had to be postponed to a later date to allow political operators to iron out differences in the ruling party MPs' camp. Some legislators had vowed to shoot down the proposed amendments on the grounds that they basically originated from the opposition camp.
The short-sighted thinking behind this kind of mentality is that this could give the opposition some political mileage, and a bit of prestige. The feeling of shame that it was unwise to endorse the bill wholesale for the sake of flexing muscles to make a point or two to the opposition parties can also not be ruled out.
Tanzanians are not impressed by this attitude displayed by some MPs on both sides of the political divide because constitution writing is definitely a serious national project with long–term implications to society.
Hence, our MPs ought to understand that their contribution to this mission must aim at promoting national interests and not parochial ones. They also ought to understand that while individuals and political parties grow, get aged and inevitably die, the country is there to stay - unless there is a rare divine intervention of biblical proportions.
An MP who can't appreciate this reality is not only unfit for this high public office, but also stands to be condemned by history. Indeed, one may even dare say that his or her patriotism becomes questionable.
We hope the legislators who have made a misstep at the beginning of this long constitutional journey will wake up as soon as possible and live to the voters' expectations.
They also stand to gain by shifting the gear to the correct path, given that the people are watching and are getting politically enlightened as time passes.

News 12 First at Five / Thursday, Nov. 8, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Changes are coming to an Augusta Elementary school after a mother says her 6-year-old son was able to leave his school without permission.
"He could've been hit by a car. Those roads that he crossed are very busy. So many things could've happened. We're very lucky that he is fine," says Vanessa Moore.
Moore is upset.
"It had me scared. I had no idea how it had happened, how he had gotten there," she said.
Moore walks her 6-year-old son, Logan, to Freedom Park Elementary every day. But one day last month, she says he came home earlier than expected.
"My husband had came home earlier that day. Shortly after he arrived about 3:50, 3:55, Logan was on our front porch trying to come in the front door and he was extremely distraught," Moore said.
Logan was supposed to be at an after-school activity.
"He told us that he had gotten scared because he couldn't find his teacher and wanted to come home," she said.
So that's what he did and Moore says no one at the school even saw him leave.
"He walked home all by himself. He crossed over two major roads during rush hour because a lot of people had been released early that day," Moore said.
Moore was upset and says she went to the school to find out what happened.
"How was that allowed that he was able to walk home by himself? He's only 6," she said.
Freedom Park Elementary School Principal Pauline Andrews apologized, but Moore thinks better security should have been in place.
"As a parent, you kneed to know your child is safe, especially when you're sending them away to the care of other adults," she said.
In a statement released to News 12, the district says the principal and administrators apologized to the Moore family, spoke with the teacher and reviewed camera footage to see how Logan managed to leave, laid out a new plan that would require families to sign out students before leaving campus following after school events and reviewed the plan with the entire staff to ensure a similar incident won't happen again.

X-FAB Continued on Profitable Growth Path in 2005Erfurt, Germany, March 16, 2006.
X-FAB Semiconductor Foundries, one of the world's leading analog/mixed-signal semiconductor foundries, reported significantly increased sales and operating profits in 2005 compared to its business success the previous year. X-FAB's total sales for 2005 were 162.7 million Euro (US$: 207.7 million) and are the highest ever recorded in the company's history. Compared to the previous year?s sales of 142.4 million Euro (US$: 177.1 million), X-FAB achieved a 14.3 percent increase, clearly above the general growth rate of the industry. EBIT was 15.0 million Euro, nearly twice the 7.7 million reported the previous year. This correlates with an increase in operating margins from 5.4 percent in 2004 to 9.2 percent in 2005. These preliminary figures were reported for the first time according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Operating cash flow increased to 34.5 million Euro in 2005, compared with 20.0 million Euro in 2004. The gross profit in 2005 was 37.2 million Euro compared to 29.7 million Euro in 2004. At 13.6 million Euro, research and development expenses in 2005 remained roughly the same as the 13.3 million Euro the previous year.
Hans-Juergen Straub, X-FAB CEO, commented: "We are pleased to be able to report yet another successful business year, and are prepared for further profitable growth. X-FAB has achieved a leading position globally with its specialization in analog/mixed-signal technologies. With an equity ratio of 74 percent at the end of 2005, as well as high operating cash inflow, X-FAB's financial position is sound. For the past few months, our bookings have been growing steadily. We plan to expand our manufacturing capacities, and we hope to achieve another year of double-digit growth in 2006."

[Sally Preston, EVP, Integrated Sales & Marketing, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia] Our advertisers are so exited about the success of Boundless Beauty. Consumer reaction was thrilling, and we were number one in the lifestyle category within hours of launching. Everyone's been delighted and pleased and surprised. [Eric Pike, Creative Director, Martha Steward Living Omnimedia] Initially, converting MSL to a digital magazine was completely overwhelming, but ultimately, because we were working with the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite, we knew that there was a certain degree of trust in how we would get the work done. [Martha Stewart, Founder, Martha Steward Living Omnimedia] It's the same magazine but a hundred times different because of the ability to utilize all of the great programming that Adobe has developed. [Gael Towey, Chief Creative and Editorial Director] When I first saw the capabilities of this new format, I got very excited because I could imagine immediately our photography just exploding out of this device. So it's that same immersive photography, but it's now moving and it's now engaging the reader even more. I think that advertisers will see the real value in being able to put commercials in a magazine like this. You can't do that in print, and you can do it in digital. And when we've had the opportunity to take it to the advertising community, it gave them goosebumps. Everybody wanted to be there because they saw the value of it and they saw the richness of the experience. What's really exciting is that advertisers in Boundless Beauty are seeing real results. We conducted an ad effectiveness study with Nielson and found that every advertiser experienced increase in brand awareness, with several advertisers seeing percentage jumps 3-4 times. Metrics are an important part of the development of this digital space that we're learning to live in. Using the tools that the Adobe Online Marketing Suite provides to even give us that kind of measurement is groundbreaking. You can really see how much time they're spending with the different content in the magazine, whether it's the stories or whether it was the advertising. That kind of information is invaluable. Martha Stewart Living is uniquely positioned to be kind of in the right place at the right time because we are a multimedia company. To see us succeed just means that there's a wide and a broad future for digital magazines. It's just so groundbreaking and exciting and advertisers see the value in that. [Adobe]

Let's paint a scenario for you. Imagine you wake up on January 21st of next year, and it's snowing outside. (For this particular exercise, you do happen to live where this is not out of the question, so stay with me. By the way, you also have kids.) One of the first orders of business for your morning would be to get a sense of what your particular day will bring. Is your first stop:
More and more, it might also be #4., checking the local TV station's news website or mobile app to get some hyperlocal information about such "personal daily news" needs.
Most likely, you'll be choosing the medium that can bring you the most timely, most relevant information that will be able to solve your most immediate concern.
As a marketer, you need to understand that these avenues are open to consumers and that they're being used, often, and more importantly, on multiple platforms. Local stations are also using their digital assets to extend branding opportunities to their on-air advertisers.
In its simplest form, what's particularly unique about this sort of digital bundling is in the content that advertisers can be associated with – destination media touchstones of people's everyday lives such as weather, traffic, lottery, local news and sports. An advertiser has an option to "roadblock" the content as it appears on-air, on-line, and on mobile.
One of the more interesting is a "find the cheapest gas" local sponsorship with content that appears on all three devices – truly a community service that can only exist in local media, with participation from both advertisers and the community that they serve.
But there are opportunities beyond simple segment banner advertising on these extended properties. Local stations can leverage their social media sites as promotional drivers, often extending local contests and sweepstakes from on-air announcements to on-line participation. Stations use their social sites such as Facebook as a place to sign up for entry to special events, such as charity golf outings with the station's "sports guy" — with a participating notable athlete— or to hype local festivals with content delivered straight to an end-user's mobile device.
The "Enter & Win" on-air promos drive people to Facebook, naturally accompanied by the related display ads, where customers sign up for the contests. While there, consumers have an opportunity to establish that most enduring of all virtual corporate relationships – the "like".
Essentially, these digital properties are tools for an advertiser to extend their relationship with their local customers. Throwing a "like" to an auto manufacturer might not move the needle much in terms of a relationship with the eventual driver of the car. But at the dealer level – where relationship marketing is really their bread and butter, a "like" for the dealership might potentially have real benefits for the customer in the form of deals or other local promotions run by the dealer.
When you come right down to it, consumers are willing to forge a bond with those things that mean something to them and that they, well… like. But oftentimes in the social media space, clicks aren't pursued independently; they're more likely to be activated when it's made easy and somewhat seamless. Since TV is a strong driver to the web, the local broadcast television stations make that easy connection between advertiser and end-user – once there, advertisers can deliver the goods, customers deliver the "likes".
It goes beyond TV's adage of the customer inviting you into their living room. These digital properties create a sort of return-path input stream from the consumer, which feeds a deeper perceived connection to an advertiser. By offering selective, personal touchpoints of media, your customers invite you into their lives – and that's where the friendship can begin.

May 6, 2016
DETROIT (AP) - Ford is recalling 83,250 vehicles because a faulty part could cause them to lose power or roll away if they're parked.
The recall involves the 2012-2014 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX; the 2013-2014 Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT; and the 2013-2014 Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS.
The company says that due to the improper installation of a clip in the axle, the halfshaft can disengage from the linkshaft. If that happens, power won't be transmitted to the wheels, increasing the risk of a crash. Also, the vehicles could roll out of the "park" position if the emergency brake isn't engaged.
Ford says there have been no reports of injuries or accidents related to the defect.
Ford will notify owners and begin free repairs by the end of August.
