Abiquo 5.1
This This section lists and describes a functional view of the different components that will appear in the cloud platform documentation
Apps Library
The Apps library is the centralized virtual machine template library. Users can deploy their own virtual machines VMs on a self-service basis using the templates available to them in the Apps Library. Administrators can load virtual machine templates from local disks or remote repositories. They can also download templates from the repository to local disk. The Apps library is also called the Appliance library or Application library. See Basic Appliance Library Concepts
Base Format
The platform's default format for a hypervisor. Templates in formats that cannot be deployed on the hypervisor will be converted to this format. See Template Compatibility Table#Hypervisor Compatibility Table
Captured VM
|A virtual machine VM that was created outside of Abiquo and imported into retrieved by Abiquo, then captured. Abiquo can manage captured virtual machines VMs in the same way as virtual machines VMs created in Abiquo. See Import and Capture Virtual Machines.
Cloud node
|Hypervisor or Docker server where virtual workloads are deployed. See Hypervisor Features and Cloud Node
An Abiquo datacenter is a set of virtual resources managed by remote services. You can create more than one Abiquo datacenter in a physical datacenter using different remote services.
|Datacenter networks
|Networks that are created at datacenter level: external, public and unmanaged networks.
|Default network
|Network that can be set for an enterprise (external, private) or virtual datacenter (public, external, private). .
|The process of allocating, provisioning, and powering on a virtual machineVM.
|DHCP Relay
|Abiquo provides a DHCP Relay server to forward DHCP requests and responses over VLANs between virtual machines and the DHCP Server. The DHCP Relay provides VLAN support for the DHCP server but does not provide DHCP Services, i.e. it does not replace the DHCP server. This server is used because a standard DHCP server can manage a maximum of around 200 VLANs.
On our multi-tenant platform, an enterprise is a cloud tenant. So an enterprise could be a third-party company, development group, company department, etc. that can access the same virtual infrastructure.
Enterprise Repository
The Apps Library that belongs to an enterprise, where users can select virtual machine VM templates for self-service deployment
|Generic iSCSI Storage
|A storage device without a plugin for management by the Abiquo API. For these devices, the Storage Administrator must create volumes and an Administrator must add them to the platform.
Hard Limit
An allocation limit that is the maximum amount of RAM, CPU and HD resources that are available for an enterprise. The limit can be set for an enterprise, an enterprise in a specific location, or a virtual datacenter.
|Instance (template or Abiquo instance)
|A snapshot copy of a virtual machine VM system disk that . In private cloud, an instance template is stored with the original master template from which the virtual machine VM was deployed, using and it uses the original template definition. See Manage Instances
|Managed physical machine
|A physical machine that is registered in the Abiquo platform that the Abiquo API can connect to.
|Managed iSCSI Storage
|External storage device that has an API and is managed by the platform using a plugin compatible with that API, meaning that volumes are created and deleted by the platform.
Managed virtual machine
|A virtual machine VM that was created by the platform, or captured by the platform because it was already running on a hypervisor that was added to the platform. In contrast, a virtual machine VM that has been retrieved but not imported or captured is not managed by the platform. See Import and Capture Virtual Machines
Management Network
The management network connects the platform servers with the hypervisors, network server, and storage for management purposes.
Network Service Type
|A network tag that enables you to define more than one network interface on a host that in order to specify it as the physical network for one or more virtual networks.
Persistent Virtual Machine
A disk of a virtual machine template is VM with one or more disks on a volume of external storage (LUN) so that disk data persists after the Virtual Machine VM is undeployed
Physical Machine
A host or physical machine has a hypervisor running on it in order to provide a virtualization infrastructure. Also called a Cloud Node. Note that a physical machine may run a hypervisor, but you can also add a vCenter cluster as a physical machine.
A group of physical machines within a Datacenter datacenter that share the same switch (as in a physical Datacenter). This grouping is used for networking and High Availabilityhigh availability.
|To change the virtual machine VM configuration after deployment
Remote Service
A component that allows the Abiquo platform to manage infrastructure within a datacenter
|Retrieved or Imported or Unmanaged VM
|A virtual machine VM that was created outside of the cloud platform and later imported from a physical machine in Abiquo. You can later capture these VMs so that they are managed by the platform. Or delete the unmanaged VMs that have not been captured. The term 'import' has also been used to mean 'retrieve'.
|Remote Access IP
|IP address on a machine that hosts a hypervisor for remote access to virtual machines VMs over the Management Network. Also called a Service IP
Service Network
The service network includes all the networks in a datacenter that connect the virtual machines VMs in the cloud (private, external, unmanaged, public)
Soft Limit
The point where the system alerts the user that they are near the absolute limit of a resource, called the hard limit. These alllocation allocation limits can be set for an enterprise, an enterprise in a specific location, or a virtual datacenter.
Storage Manager
The virtual Storage Manager is the Remote Service component that manages the different storage systems (Storage Pools). The virtual Storage Manager is the interface that allows the Abiquo platform to connect to these Storage Pools.
Storage Network
A high-performance network used to connect the virtual machines VMs to the storage server
Storage Pool
A centralized storage infrastructure that allows the user to create iSCSI volumes and attach them to the virtual machinesVMs
Synchronized VMs
When virtual machines VMs are synchronized in private cloud, the virtual machine VM states are the same in Abiquo and in the hypervisor.
Synchronized VDCs and regions
In cloud providers (e.g. AWS, OpenStack cloud) when virtual datacenters or regions are synchronized, the elements are in the same state in Abiquo and in the public cloud region. Note that the public cloud syncrhonization process does not remove elements of configuration from undeployed VMs, for example, NICs and volumes.
Remote Repository
A public or private repository of virtual machine VM templates that can be accessed by Abiquo. Descriptions and virtual machine VM disk files are served by HTTP. Also called a Template Repository
|In Abiquo, cloud tenants are known as enterprises.
|Trunk Mode
|A physical switch port configuration used in the Service Network that passes on all packets, regardless of their VLAN tags. If trunk mode is not used, the port must be configured for each individual VLAN used in the datacenter.
|Unavailable VM template
|An unavailable VM template in private cloud this is a template with no disk file. In public cloud it is a template that is in the Abiquo Apps library cache but not available in the cloud provider. Users cannot deploy this template. Administrators can replace the disk file to make the template available again or when the template is no longer in use, they can delete it from the Apps library.
|The process of destroying the virtual machine in the hypervisor and releasing resources on the platform.
|VApp Spec
|A VApp Spec (Virtual Appliance Spec) is a configuration blueprint saved from a virtual appliance that users can easily deploy
Virtual Appliance
A group of Virtual Machines running in a Virtual Datacenter. The virtual appliance is like a folder that can contain a related set of virtual machines that are used to provide a service. For example, a web stack. At the virtual appliance level, you can deploy these virtual machines together, view their performance statistics, create anti-affinity layers for VM high availability, and so on.
Virtual Datacenter
A set of virtual resources available to users in the same enterprise that may be controlled by the tenant administrator on a self-service basis (limit resources, create volumes, obtain public IP addresses, etc). The virtual appliances in a virtual datacenter all use the same type of virtualization technology (hypervisor, public cloud provider) or Docker host. These Virtual Appliances virtual appliances are in the same public cloud region or physical datacenter and rack. See Manage Virtual Datacenters
|Virtual Datacenter Networks
|Networks created at virtual datacenter level: private networks that by default are isolated within the virtual datacenter.
Virtual Machine
A guest or virtual machine (VM) is an instance of a virtual machine VM template with network and storage configurations once it is deployed on a cloud host, or an instance launched in a public cloud provider. It can be understood as a virtual operating system instance or container. Also called a Workload
Virtual Machine Instance
A template made from a copy of selected Virtual Machine disks to the repository or public cloud to public cloud storage. The modified template will be available in the Apps library and can be deployed in another Virtual Appliance
Virtual Machine Template
A virtual disk and virtual machine VM template definition. Also called Virtual Image in the API
|Virtual Machine Template Definition
|Description of the virtual machine VM and deployment requirements sent to the hypervisor or provider to create the virtual machineVM. This includes resources (CPU, RAM and HD) and the hypervisor technology associated with the disk format

What Are PFAS?
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a class of chemicals that companies add to a wide variety of consumer products to make them non-stick, waterproof, and stain-resistant. There are currently more than 4,700 different PFAS chemicals on the market, making them among the most ubiquitous synthetic chemicals in the world.
PFAS can be found in products such as stain-resistant carpets and upholstery, waterproof apparel, floor waxes, non-stick cookware,
greaseproof food packaging
dental floss
, and some cosmetics. They are also used in firefighting foams for putting out fuel fires. People can be exposed to these chemicals from direct contact with products, or through the air they breathe or the food they eat. They can also be exposed through drinking water.
In fact, millions of Americans today are exposed to drinking water contaminated with PFAS as a result of the chemicals being released into the environment from fire training areas, industrial sites, and waste disposal. A 2016 study reported that
more than 16 million Americans
are exposed to these contaminants in drinking water; a more recent estimate put that number at
110 million
. This
shows you where contamination sites are located in the United States.
While their strong chemical bonds make them very effective at repelling water and oil even at high temperatures, these same characteristics also make PFAS extremely persistent, meaning they don't break down in the environment. Scientists and health professionals are concerned about the public's exposure to PFAS because the chemicals have been linked with
many health problems
, including thyroid disease, cancer, high cholesterol, obesity, effects on the immune system,
increased susceptibility to breast cancer
, and others.
98 percent
of Americans have PFAS in their bodies, and the chemicals remain in the body for years.
That's why the scientific research community is working hard to better understand these contaminants —how people are exposed and how they impact human health — in order to find solutions to protect the public, especially vulnerable populations, from these hazardous chemicals.

Earl of Wessex, Prince Edward, and the Countess of Wessex, Princess Sophie, paid a visit to the Temple of the Scared Tool Relic and Trinity College, Kandy this morning.
A special religious ceremony was organized at the Temple of the Tooth Relic to invoke blessings on the Royal couple.
They arrived in Sri Lanka last afternoon on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II, to celebrate the 70th Independence Day, scheduled to be held at the Galle Face Green on February 4.
The British High Commission in Colombo said that "the Earl and Countess will travel to Colombo and other parts of Sri Lanka, celebrating the long-standing friendship between the two countries and shared interest in the Commonwealth, youth development and education,".

Steve Roach: Trance Archeology
Steve Roach: Trance Archeology
Released: 15 November 2019
Steve Roach often finds himself in the borderlands – exploring the edges of Electronic Music, and confirming that it is a genre much bigger than we ever imagined. His album Trance Archeology (73'56") uses sound to conjure a powerful mood, and tells a story that only each individual listener will know. A mystical landscape of the mind this release provides a fascinating mix of the organic, the tech-tronic, and the irresistible pull of possibility. Although this music is without words, it clearly resonates with hidden voices. Across its eight tracks Trance Archeology goes from mystic incantations to twisting nerve sparks and roiling synthesizer textures. Electrical currents course through this work, as does blood through the body – the muted roar of its rushing textures ever present, but well beneath the surface. At certain points the sound field seems to deconstruct down to a granular realm – which bestows a digital slowing that sinks us back in time. Further in, the tribal viral grooves and pulsing patterns establishes, then moves us across an undiscovered terrain. In an interesting use of looping percussion samples under spacious reverberation and innovative treatments, Roach conceives distances as remote as the moon, and as deep as thought. Beyond this heat there are also thought zones where the feel becomes more settled, locating a less energetic and more reflective atmosphere. These shifts are part of the dynamic equilibrium that is Roach's goal. Imagining and sounding its way into our minds Trance Archeology will be good for listeners, and even better for dreamers. Cut out against the void it digs to reveal turbulent states, and the temple of sound which is at the core of this musician. The silence that will follow is starkly different than the silence before this album began its spin – as we will then be in a much different space, and a much different peace.

Do You Need a Lawyer for a Condemnation Action?
UPDATED: February 9, 2020
It's all about you. We want to help you make the right legal decisions.
We strive to help you make confident law decisions. Finding trusted and reliable legal advice should be easy. This doesn't influence our content. Our opinions are our own.
There is no legal requirement to get a lawyer in a condemnation action. If you decide to hire a lawyer to assist you with your condemnation action, you will need to pay for the attorney yourself. However, not having a lawyer is generally a very bad idea in any legal proceeding, and this is especially true in condemnation actions where the government is trying to condemn or take your property by eminent domain.
Getting Legal Help in Condemnation Proceedings
Condemnation may occur whenever the government believes that taking your property is in the public good, such as if the government wants to build a road, park or public building on your land. When condemnation occurs, the law mandates that you are entitled to just compensation for your property. In other words, the government can't just take what belongs to you.
Unfortunately, "just compensation" can be a subjective thing, and you may be offered less than the property is actually worth or less than it will cost you to rebuild the equivalent house on a similar piece of land. Because it can be hard to determine exactly what just compensation is and, because even if you don't believe you are getting a fair deal, it can be hard to prove, you will want a lawyer on your side during the condemnation proceedings.
A lawyer can research legal precedent, help you determine what you should be getting based on similar condemnation cases, and assist you in compiling the right evidence to convince the court to agree with you.
The right to just compensation in a condemnation action isn't just a legal right—it is a legal right protected by the Constitution of the United States of America. Having a lawyer during this sometimes complicated legal process is essential if you want to protect the rights guaranteed to you by your forefathers.

CRAFTON HEIGHTS (KDKA) – A man is recovering after being shot twice in Sheraden Thursday morning.
Pittsburgh Police were on their way to a report of shots fired when they were flagged down by a woman in the Corliss Tunnel, who said she'd just crashed her car.
She was driving her 28-year-old boyfriend to the hospital after he was shot in the chest and ankle.
The victim lives on Du Bois Street with his girlfriend, her toddler and 5-month-old. They were all at home when the shooting happened.
The man's aunt says it was 5:30 a.m., and he was on his way to work at his construction job when he was shot before he could even get to his car.
Pittsburgh paramedics were able transport him from the Corliss Tunnel to UPMC Mercy Hospital, where he underwent surgery and was last listed in stable condition.
Du Bois Street is very close to the Pittsburgh Gifted Center school. The street was shut down for the majority of the morning while investigators cased the scene, but it did not impact the school.
At this point, there are no suspects.

Wataniya Palestine appoints new CEO
Dr. Bassam Hannoun replaces Allan Richardson as chief executive of Wataniya Palestine
Wataniya Palestine, a subsidiary of Qatar's Qtel Group, has appointed Dr. Bassam Hannoun as its new CEO.
Hannoun, who joins Wataniya after heading up Qtel's Jordanian WiMAX subsidiary wi-tribe, replaces Allan Richardson, who launched Wataniya Palestine as the West Bank's second mobile operator in November 2009.
Hannoun, who has a PhD in telecoms engineering, has commercial and technical experience of developing 2G, 3G and WiMAX operations in the Middle East and Europe. He joined wi-tribe in 2007 and was instrumental in setting up its infrastructure and launching the firm.
Before becoming CEO at wi-tribe Jordan, Hannoun worked as chief sales officer for Orange Jordan. In Europe, Hannoun was responsible for the planning and optimisation of GSM networks across several different countries.
Dr. Nasser Marafih, CEO of Qtel Group and a board member of Wataniya Palestine, said: "We are very thankful for the leadership of Allan Richardson, who led the successful preparation and launch of Wataniya's mobile service. We are equally pleased with the appointment of Dr. Hannoun, who has the talent and experience to lead Wataniya Palestine to the next level of serving customers in Palestine."

Within the last week the volume of tweets I am seeing is picking up immensely! It would be unbearable if the tweets were literally bird chirps.
Now mind you, the tweets I am talking about relate to a certain topic. Whatever could that topic be?
Now, many of our friends and colleagues (and perhaps a few of you) are starting to feel dread in your hearts as the first signs of the change of summer to fall and the implication that cold wind and snow is not too far behind. I can not quite say I'm ready for the summer to end, I have some landscaping chores that I need to do yet, I would like to get some more UpNorth summer time, some fishing in, some more time soaking in the lake, but I have no problems with fall. Making the wood, watching the local farmers harvest their bounties, the prospect of fresh apples and pears, the change of foods from light to heavier and hotter. Of course, days driving around the woods to our favorite grouse spots while listening to the Badgers & Packers on the radio is near a sacred rite of fall. I look forward to the fall much more than I do to mid-spring.
Then deer hunting and then
SKIINGand by that time summer will seem so far away (both in front and behind). I will be sitting down in the basement in front of our fireplace and writing my next installments here. Maybe the material will not be so prolific, but I hope it will be every bit as enjoyable if not more so.
As noted, I am seeing a lot of tweets from my ski contacts and the tweets are mostly ski related. Ski Brule tweeted the other day that their ski operations for the 2010-2011 season just started up! I've been seeing tweets and FB communications from nearby Nordic Mountain and of course all the other ski bloggers I network with are getting geared up! It is nearly time for my annual ski dream!

Sustainable strategies for a cutting edge science center
Brandeis University, Carl J. Shapiro Science Center
Boston, MA, USA
Project details
Brandeis University
Payette Associates
Completed in 2009
Services provided by Buro Happold
Computational Engineering, Structural engineering, Sustainability, Building services engineering (MEP), Fire engineering
High on a hilltop, just nine miles from Boston, lies the state of the art Brandeis Science Center.
This addition to Brandeis University opened in 2009, and is a research and teaching center of excellence which connects new and refurbished buildings in a revitalized precinct, linked by a central hub.
The University demanded a high-tech yet low carbon design for an extensive university precinct in a setting designed to foster creativity and innovation. Buro Happold's team therefore needed to find creative solutions, incorporating all of our technical ingenuity to provide our client with the optimal environment.
One of the key challenges of the project was to unite the 10 separate buildings that previously made up the science center by combining extensive new facilities with refurbishments of existing buildings. In addition to this, the university still had to run lectures while the works were taking place.
Our engineers worked closely with the architect and client to create a masterplan that incorporated a connected landscape of lobbies, open areas, multi-level spaces, bridges and gardens emanating from the central hub.
Crucially, thanks to the innovation of the design team's sustainability solutions, the Science Center has achieved a LEED Silver rating: particularly impressive given the high energy equipment and facilities needed for this type of project.
To achieve this we facilitated a workshop with all members of the client and design team and put into place a trackable carbon reduction strategy that reflected the project's sustainability goals.Denzil Gallagher, Partner
The project has resulted in the creation of the optimal environment for teaching and learning, incorporating spaces that have been proven to encourage communication and knowledge sharing.
Our work on the masterplanning and sustainable design at the Center has led us to be subsequently appointed as engineering consultant for the structural design, building services and fire protection. Thanks to our strong relationships with both the client and the whole design team, we were then commissioned again to work on a new Faculty of Humanities, further assisting the client to transform the intellectual climate of the university.

A storm christened 'Mauri 18' has made land in western Finland, bringing gale winds of 26.2 metres/second to the Åland Islands and 25.9 m/s to the coastal city of Rauma early Saturday morning.
Winds over Finnish sea areas in the west have exceeded storm levels, bringing heavy rolling waves. The Finnish Meteorological Society issued a warning that waves at sea may surpass four metres in height.
The storm is expected to reach its peak in the western part of the country yet this morning, wreaking its worst on the rest of the country in the afternoon.
Southwest Finland rescue services say the storm already downed many trees overnight in the southwest, knocking out power in the municipalities of Naantali and Merikarvia.
The emergency unit says that the power outages have remained minimal so far, despite the heavy winds. A real-time map in Finnish from the Finnish energy industry consortium shows that less than 2,000 customers of the country's various electricity providers were without power as of 11 am.
The Viking Line and Tallink Silja cruise ships operating out of the southwest city of Turku's port say they plan to stick to their timetables, but reserve the right to make changes if necessary.
Storm will reach capital city region by mid-day
A warning of dangerous winds of up to 20 m/s has been issued for the western, southern and central areas of the country on Saturday.
Yle meteorologist Matti Huutonen predicts that the storm will do its worst over sea in the morning and over land in the afternoon. By the evening, the storm will have lost some of its severity as it moves east.
Huutonen says Mauri 18 is an exceptional storm, as winds this severe over land only occur once every 15 years or so in Finland. Finland is normally hit by a severe autumn storm only once or twice each season, he says.
"This is now the first storm we'll see this autumn," he says.
A previous storm named Mauri wreaked havoc in Finnish Lapland 32 years ago, downing trees like matchsticks and lifting some cottages off their foundations. Two people were killed in the storm.

"Live a life being misunderstood because of how and who you love."
The above was my take away from the talk Bob Goff during the Youth Pastor Summit this past week. There were many wonderful speakers but what he said struck my heart. This stayed with me as I learned more about Open Doors, an organization that aids persecuted Christians.
The thought that kept going through my mind was that while we attended a conference held at Universal Studios, my brothers and sisters suffer. As we praised our Lord, loudly and publicly, my brothers and sisters fear their neighbors turning them in. When we ate heartily both days, my brothers and sisters were thankful for the little on their plates.
Our lives are vastly different to say the least. As a Christian, in this country I am not persecuted. I can purchase and have a possession of a Bible. My employer has to follow certain regulations in accommodating my religious obligations. If they do not I have recourses to rectify the oversight. I can speak freely of Jesus without fear of arrest.
Do I face challenges because I am a Christian? Of course. I face them daily, both internally and externally. However, challenges in my life are not persecution. This attitude needs to change. When we in this privileged country complain of being persecuted it makes me sad.
It also makes me wonder. If we call today's challenges persecution, how will we stand when true persecution comes? Are you willing to hold steadfast if you are beaten nearly to death? Or having to prepare your children for the possibility of being murdered in front of them? Because this is only some of what our brothers and sisters face on a daily basis. They hold on to Christ. They do not simply leave because if they did who would speak the Gospel to those who need to hear it.
I can not help but wonder how tightly I would hold onto Christ. How steadfast I would be in the face of all that.
I am guilty of not always standing in solidarity with them. Taking for granted the peace and security of my life. I forget to pray for them as often as I used to. A practice I have begun once again. To pray not only for them but for us. For us who have yet to face true persecution. Because we will. Let us love Christ so much that the price paid is our suffering. Let us be misunderstood.

1) Weight ratios mean exactly that a ratio based on weight (mass) - if you have 1 mg of substrate, add 3 mg of TEV.
2) I suggest you google: on-column protease digestion his-tag
Posted 28 February 2019 - 12:57 AM
So say I have 2ml of 2mg/ml of my substrate and my TEV is 4.5mg/ml. So I have 4mg of substrate in total. My ratio is 3:1 so 4mg:1.3mg TEV. To get 1.3mg TEV I would use 0.29ml. So my final solution would be 2ml of my 2mg/ml substrate and 0.29ml of my 4.5mg/ml TEV? Is that correct?
Thank you
Thank you
Posted 28 February 2019 - 09:18 AM
Sounds about right. I see in my post above I got the ratios around the wrong way, so you even managed to interpret what I intended correctly.

There's many reasons to dislike 'Saving Private Ryan': the fact that I was signed up to be an extra until the Irish govt cut Spielberg a better tax deal and he filmed it on the west coast of Ireland, not Northumbria. The total lack of any British soldiers at all (my great uncle lost a leg driving a landing craft onto Utah beach) and most of all the fact that Matt Damon survives! However the opening scenes on Omaha beach and the final climatic battle at Ramelles more than make up for these failings and make it one of the finest war movies ever made.
The film climaxes with Tom Hank's Rangers supporting the survivors of Matt Damon's company of 101st airborne paras against a mixed force from the 1st SS Panzer corps. The bridge at Ramelles is the only bridge still standing across the Merderet river. If the Germans can capture the bridge their armour can move up the Cotentin peninsula and attack the bridge heads around Omaha & Utah beach. The village of Ramelles is fictional and the battle in the film is choreographed to suit the storyline rather than being a purely historical representation of how an SS unit would REALLY tackle a small unit defending a town, but some of the battle is based on reality. In the days after D-Day men of the US 82nd airborne fought similar battles for control of the bridges over the Merderet during 'Mission Boston' including a battle at La Fiere between the 82nd and the 100th Pz replacement battalion which apparently inspired the final scenes of Private Ryan.
In the film Capt Miller (Hanks) quite easily cripples the lead Tiger tank with explosives but he has no way of countering the weapon the SS bring up next: a 20mm Flak 38 which shreds Millers platoon with high explosive shells. The Flak 38 was Germany's primary light AA gun capable of firing a wide range of ammo at 120 rounds a minute (mainly due to delays changing its 20 round magazine every few seconds) and was equally deadly against low flying aircraft and ground targets.
This is my attempt at replicating the Germans 'ultimate machine gun'. I combined a resin Andrew design Sonderhangen 51 trailer with a verlinden resin Flak 38 kit plus a LOT of scratch building and modification to replicate the wheeled gun seen in the film. The figures required equal work and are combinations of parts from various kits carefully reworked to fit the gun.

From SEO to social media, from AOL to Amazon, the last two decades have brought incredible advances to digital marketing. Through it all, one marketing channel has consistently outperformed most others: email marketing. It's a core revenue driver for eCommerce businesses large and small.
Today we'll take a look at a new trend in digital marketing—big data—and explore whether it's feasible for a small business. Then we'll give you six email marketing strategies that any business can use to create and maintain stellar email marketing results.
Big Data Marketing: Does It Work for Small Businesses?
Recently, the idea of "big data" has taken digital marketing by storm, and it's hit email marketing too. Email marketing tools are more powerful than ever. We now have access to a firehose of customer and sales data. Significant advances have been made in the realm of behavioral insights and predictive analytics. Cutting edge, full-service marketing platforms put the power of big data into anyone's hands.
With these tools, merchants can predict the future by analyzing the past. We can collect data on our users and create customer profiles based on their shared characteristics. By examining the historical behavior of customers within a profile, we can predict how a certain customer who also fits that profile will respond to specific content or promotions. When used well, big data can significantly increase conversion rates and revenue.
But here's the rub. Collecting, analyzing, and then acting on big data isn't cheap. These top-shelf marketing platforms can cost an arm and a leg. Getting your money's worth often requires a full-time employee dedicated to the role. That old adage holds true; you get what you pay for. But so does another (less well-known) adage: "Your marketing expense shouldn't exceed your business revenue." In short, the cost involved with big data marketing just isn't feasible yet for many small businesses.
The Alternative: Focus on Strategy
So if big data is too expensive, how can a small eCommerce brand optimize and grow its email marketing?
For many small businesses, marketing strategy is far more important than technology. You do need a solid email marketing service, but you can choose from many more affordable options on the market. They don't include the whiz-bang tools offered by the pricey alternatives, but they'll get the job done. At Gauge we've worked with merchants across dozens of industries, and we can confidently say that below a certain cost threshold, the platform doesn't really matter. It's what you do with the platform that counts.
Despite advances in tech, email marketing strategy hasn't changed much over the past 15 years. Successful email marketing is a long-term endeavor. It requires attention, consistency, patience, creativity, and most importantly, time.
Strategy #1: Build Your Lists
Building and maintaining a strong email marketing database is the key to successful email marketing. As your email list grows, your email marketing revenue will also grow. This prompts two questions:
- How do you grow your email list?
- How do you keep these customers engaged in your email campaigns (and keep their cursors off the Unsubscribe button)?
Here are some practical ways to build your email lists. Regardless of the method you choose, start collecting email addresses today, and then never stop collecting.
Shrinking Customer Hesitations
Ultimately, you have to ask the customer for their email address. Years ago, getting this information was difficult. People considered their email to be a very personal and private platform. But that mindset is changing quickly, for a few reasons.
The first: As technology has evolved, email service providers have found ways to accommodate marketing in a way that feels less obtrusive to recipients. For example, Gmail's Category feature lets users automatically funnel marketing emails into a designated inbox. It's a convenient way to reduce inbox clutter without using that unsubscribe button.
Another reason is that customers understand why you're requesting it. I know that if I give a merchant my email address, they'll send me marketing material. I like saving money on things I want to buy. If I like the brand, I'm happy to exchange my email address for the special offers and promotions I know I'll get in return.
Brick & Mortar Email Collection
If you've got an online shop and a brick-and-mortar location, your email collection opportunities double. In-store promotions and emailing receipts are very effective strategies for email acquisition. These techniques are personal and conversational; they instill trust. Simple enough.
Digital Email Collection
But how do you win over your digital customers? Putting an email signup field in your site's footer isn't enough anymore; their success rates are abysmal. Online shoppers are savvy. They know exactly why you want their data and they know how to find the very best deals online. You've got to offer these shoppers an incentive for signing up.
Most basic email platforms offer entry and exit pop-up modals you can use to offer a one-time discount in exchange for an email address. We've all seen the "Sign up for a 10% discount!" pop-ups. They're popular because they work!
The tricky part is turning a one-time purchaser into a repeat customer. You've got to follow through on the swing by making the most of all additional connection opportunities. Consider ways to incentivize your transactional emails or review requests. Drop a few free stickers or include a discount code in your packaging. Even creating a beautifully packed box with your brand's special touches will help set you apart from the competition.
Think Long Term
When choosing your signup incentives, it's critical to focus on customer life cycle and lifetime value. Your goal is to acquire long-term customers. Develop your email collection strategy with this in mind. A blow-out contest to win a Caribbean vacation might net you thousands of new email addresses. But if they have no other interest in your brand, it will result in a high unsubscribe rate once the winner has been revealed. You don't want just any email addresses; you want the right email addresses.
Social Media Email Collection
Social media can also be a great environment for email acquisition. Consider creating an enter-to-win ad on Facebook. Display this ad to your followers and a look-alike audience. Start small; offer a chance to win a $100 gift certificate.
I know what you're thinking—what about the Caribbean vacation point you just made? Social media is a bit different because your social media followers are already more engaged with your brand than a casual site browser. The goal is to get those followers to cross platforms onto your site and then onto your email lists. Create a landing page on your site to further message the promotion, collect data, and encourage immediate shopping. This technique can be great for email collection and has the nice side effect of directly driving traffic to your webstore.
Strategy #2: Get Conversational
As small business owners, we often take our marketing very seriously—and rightly so. We devote our lives to creating a brand that has meaning and reflects the beauty of our vision. Email marketing is a core channel, and you absolutely should take its planning and execution seriously. But the marketing emails themselves shouldn't read like a vision statement or business plan.
Email marketing is the perfect place to add some levity, color, and spice to your brand's persona. The recipients are your inner-circle customers. They've invited you into their lives by volunteering their personal data. Letting them experience a deeper, more intimate message is a great way to build more trust and create lifetime customers. Who doesn't want to be included on an inside joke or take a peek behind the curtain of their favorite brand? Your email audience has quite literally signed up for that!
Explore a few playful ideas with your email marketing.
- Try adding a secret gift with purchase that only populates once the customer has added an item to the shopping cart. This is a great way to rapidly push your customer through the sales funnel!
- Add a hidden CMS page called Beautiful Photo (or Fan Outfit of the Day, or Sweet Ride, or Adorable Baby Animal—whatever is brand-appropriate). Link to the hidden page in a weekly email, and change the photo each week. Change the photo for every email.
- Tell half a joke and require a click-through to see the punch-line.
You might be surprised by how many people will click to see the photo or punchline. And then voilà, the customer is magically on your site and exposed to the onsite marketing for your current sale or campaign.
"No matter how beautiful or clever or "on brand" your email is, if the customer doesn't click through to your site, it's worthless. Experiment, track your metrics carefully and try to uncover what email content your customers are engaging with. Then do more of that!"
Strategy #3: Embrace Experimentation
Naturally, people like different things and respond to different messages. Yet every email database has a sweet spot—a preference, taste, or motivation shared by a wide array of your recipients. It's your job to find that sweet spot and tailor your messages to it.
To really understand the motivations of your customers, you must experiment with your content and promotions. Experimentation can be nerve-wracking, especially for small businesses. Understand that you will experience marketing successes and failures. Let go of all preconceived expectations and let the data speak for itself. Occasionally your margin will suffer a little or a sale will not meet expectations, but each campaign is a learning experience. Use your insights to refine your strategy.
Promotions: Practical Examples
For example, say you need to liquidate an item. You might not consider a BOGO promotion, assuming it would completely sacrifice your profit margin. But that assumption isn't necessarily true. You will sacrifice margin on the BOGO SKU. But the offer could also lure email readers to your site and tempt them to buy more than they otherwise would.
If the promotion increases your average order value beyond the value of the BOGO item or drives up your numbers for average products per conversion, your campaign would be a success. Will some customers capitalize on the BOGO promotion only? Yes, but don't worry about that. Listen carefully to all the data before you decide whether a campaign was a success or failure.
Other promotional ideas
Include a free gift with purchase, offer free shipping with any purchase (or above a specific order value), or give a 5%, 10%, or 15% discount. These can all be effective ways to improve your click-through and conversion rates.
Finding the sweet spot applies to percent-based discounts too. Experiment by increasing your discount percentage incrementally and keep a close eye on your conversion rates. Your sweet spot will be just before your conversion rate stops increasing. I once found that my conversion rate didn't change when I increased a discount from 15% to 20%. I learned that for my customers, 15% off was tempting enough to drive the purchase.
Experimenting with Content
You can also offer compelling content to move your customers from your email to your site. Try publishing an outfit of the day or recipe of the month. Consider using your New Arrival or Staff Favorite products to bridge the gap between email marketing and onsite shopping. Remember, the key to email marketing is to get the customers to your site. Experiment, track your results, and refine your approach.
Finding your sweet spots takes time, but the payoff is worth the investment. In the long run you'll understand your database and know how to optimize your email marketing strategy. Just make sure you're analyzing your data thoroughly and using it to inform your decisions.
"With data-driven campaign optimization, you'll see your email marketing produce real results, month after month."
Strategy #4: Destination PDP
You know you need to get customers from your email to your site. But where on your site? Our answer is a Product Detail Page (PDP), for several compelling reasons.
The first reason: It simplifies the shopping experience. Great email marketing involves understanding your customer and delivering something you know they will love. Contrast these two messages:
- Hello Customer. Please take time out of your busy schedule to wander around my site. Maybe you'll find something you like. If you do, I'll give you 10% off your order. Please browse the store now!
- Hello Customer. You will absolutely love this new product; it's perfect for you. And if you purchase now, you'll save 10%. Shop this product now!
The discount is exactly the same, but the second message is more likely to convert.
The first message requires way too much thought and time. What if the baby wakes up, or the phone rings, or the internet times out, or the customer just can't decide? The second message is much simpler. You show the customer a great product, they want it, and you make it super easy for them to view and buy. No thought required.
"The goal is to move the customer deep into the sales funnel as quickly as possible, and then make purchase simple."
Another reason to move your customers directly to a PDP: You'll turn that PDP into a landing page. Retailers often default to using their homepage as a landing page, but any page can become one.
Think about this from the perspective of a search engine. Suppose you sell gourmet honey, so your homepage header says "Gourmet Honey." As search engines index the traffic to your homepage, your authority for that search term establishes itself over time. If you drive your email traffic to your homepage, you'll only magnify that effect.
Now imagine a gourmet honey connoisseur (and potential customer) searches the internet for a specific product, like Tupelo honey. You may carry a full line of Tupelo honey, but if all of your traffic goes directly to your homepage and the phrase "Tupelo honey" doesn't appear there, you won't rank for that search term. A prime opportunity to win a repeat customer is lost.
You could address this directing some of your email traffic to the Tupelo honey page. As your traffic to that page picks up, search engines will begin to recognize your site as a good destination for Tupelo honey searchers. Over time, you'll become more competitive for those search keywords as well.
Strategy #5: Every Email is a Marketing Email
Ah, the transactional email—it's automatic, super functional, and straight to the point. Retailers often neglect these emails, but customers certainly don't. Transactional emails have the highest open rate for any type of eCommerce email. This makes perfect sense; they deliver need-to-know information.
Use these emails to invite the customer back to your website. You could include a promo code for their next purchase, request a product review, invite them to follow your social media channels, or ask for feedback about their buying experience. Never miss an opportunity to interact with your customers!
High open rates turn transactional emails into prime marketing real estate. Yet far too often I receive an order confirmation or shipping notification with no branding or beauty. That's like parking a dumpster in front of your panoramic window! It may be functional, but it's got zero appeal.
Instead, customize your transactional emails to align with your brand. Think about their tone, imagery, and mood. It really is the little touches that make a brand special. Use them to present your brand in a memorable way and set it apart from the competition.
"Remember, you're not merely selling products. You are creating a customer experience and a journey that has several direct touchpoints along the way. Make sure every touchpoint sends a message: We've thought about what you'd like and we care about your experience."
Strategy #6: The Simpsons Effect
Finally, commit yourself to the process of constant improvement. I call this The Simpsons Effect.
The Making of an American Icon
In 1987 the Simpsons premiered on the Tracey Ullman Show. The animation was crude and the episodes were short, only a minute or two. But the creators were clearly onto something. Producer James L. Brooks and cartoonist Matt Groening used this series of shorts to develop the humor and really understand their audience.
Over time, the animation and content was refined. The team signed on with Butterfinger for an extensive advertising campaign. The commercials were funny and just edgy enough to hit their demographic sweet spot. The ads expanded their reach far beyond the audience for their original shorts, and that audience was engaged. Widespread interest opened the door for an animated sitcom deal with FOX. The rest is history.
The Simpsons started as a series of throwaway sketches to introduce commercial breaks, yet it became a beloved icon of American pop culture. What does the Simpsons story tell us about email marketing?
The creators knew they had something special. They invested time in understanding their audience, responded to the data, and capitalized on opportunity. Most importantly, they continually improved their delivery.
Never become complacent. Use every tool at your disposal to make each new email campaign better than the last. Discover as much as you can about your current customers. Explore ways to grow our email lists and gain new fans. Learn how to leverage your data. Experiment with your campaigns and track your results. Use your insights to create better campaigns that will delight and engage more customers. And then do it all again. Master these basics and your brand will be well on its way to becoming an icon in your sphere of influence.

As part of efforts to address the absence of women in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), Ms Thuli Sibeko has risen to the challenge by initiating and establishing programmes and initiatives dedicated to educating, mentoring and empowering the girl child with skills in ICT and STEM.
Needless to say, STEM is evidently key to the growth and stability of emerging economies. With the advancement in scientific and technological innovations towards providing solutions to peculiar challenges, many nations that aim to compete in the global economy make STEM education a national priority. In spite of the tremendous contributions of technology to the growth of major economies around the world, Africa, among other developing nations, still lag behind in terms of developing a sustainable and inclusive STEM education. It is pertinent to also note the wide gender gap in STEM education as women occupy less than 25% of STEM jobs.
In an exclusive interview with Amazons Watch Magazine, Ms. Sibeko discussed the level of impact she has made in educating, mentoring and empowering girls about STEM. She also shared her thoughts on how Africa can promote growth in the ICT sector. Excerpt:
Kindly tell us about your experiences growing up and how it impacted you professionally?
I started my career working in a customer service environment, I then moved up and became a corporate relationship consultant and had a brief stint working as an assistant to Project Accountant. The skills and knowledge that I acquired prepared me to be in a position where I could run my agency and be equipped with problem solving skills, managing client budgets, crisis management and learning the art of diplomacy especially when dealing with clients.
I'm a planner by nature, process driven and love being in the events & marketing space. Aside from my running my agency, I'm passionate about social entrepreneurship and we recently launched two CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) programs: Girls Invent Tomorrow – an initiative dedicated to initiating programs designed to educate, mentor and empower the girl child about ICT and STEM as a whole; and the NEXTgen Leadership – A conference for the Youth by the Youth established to create a platform for interaction amongst the Youth.
I was nominated in the category – Future ICT Leader at the ICT Achiever Awards 2016; listed on the Girl Code ZA blog as one of the 60 Women Changing the Narrative in TECH; and listed in htxt.africa as one top 10 youths that are helping revolutionise SA tech.
Growing up in our household, my mother carried the family, a teacher by profession, she encouraged us to always strive for greatness and to be the best in what we do and give 100%. She encouraged us to read and have an inquisitive mind. She taught us to be cognisance of our surroundings and not do things just for oneself.
I was fortunate that I grew up in a time where life was relatively easy, we played outside in the streets as kids and were raised by a community of amazing women and men who wanted us to achieve success. They motivated us and encouraged us to learn.
What inspired you into entrepreneurship and how did you achieve this level of success.
I was inspired by my dad, he was and has been a business owner and worked hard to provide for his family. I was fascinated by what he did and curious as to what it entails to be an entrepreneur. I learnt from him and growing up, I wanted to be just like him and run my own business.
I managed to achieve success because of my support structure and the fact that I had a friend/ex-business partner that had the same vision of becoming an entrepreneur. We were fortunate to have family that continuously encouraging us. We worked hard to ensure that we don't disappoint them and for us to have something that we can be proud of.
Young ladies across Africa fantasize about career ideas but are not able to actualize them due to societal limitations. What is your take on this and how have you been able to sidestep some of these challenges?
One of the problems that young ladies across Africa have is role models, mentors and access to supportive structures. I believe that as women who have broken the glass ceiling in our respective careers, we have a social responsibility to mentor young ladies. I also believe that young ladies also need to surround themselves with the right people and must put in the work.
I was fortunate that my family has always been supportive and I have surrounded myself with an amazing group of women who support each other. I also have a mentor that has helped me navigate this entrepreneurship journey.
We were raised to believe that we were not any less than boys/men. I was encouraged to dream and put in place ways in how I was going to achieve my dreams. It all starts with you and also you have to out in the work.
As a social entrepreneur at heart, with a number of projects designed to empower girls in Africa, please share with us some of these projects and their level of impact?
Community Youth Empowa'ment (CYE) ignited my love for wanting to become a social entrepreneur. I met like-minded young people that were driven to make a difference in the world and have an impact in someone else's life. In the early 20ties, we help build libraries in some of the schools in Soweto, we hosted career workshops for high school students and we ran a Saturday School where we taught maths, science and English. The impact that the projects had was that we gave young people from our community hope and the belief that they can achieve greatness. We helped them with the tools and resources to better their live.
With Girls Invent Tomorrow, our drive is to empower the girl child to believe that they can pursue a career in Tech. We have run some career workshops where we invited key women in Tech to come and talk about the vast careers available in tech. These events have helped to open their mindset and consider a career in the field.
We have run coding workshop & introduction to programming with the aim of exposing them to what's becoming the most in-demand skill across industries. Our aim is for them not to get left behind and be in a position to believe that they too can code and consider these careers.
What is your take on ICT and entrepreneurship in Africa and how can we stimulate start-up ecosystems to accelerate progress in Africa?
ICT and entrepreneurship are growing trends globally and Africa is slowly embracing the impact that it has on solving some of the continent's challenges. We do however need to equip learners with technology from an early age and encourage the use of tech. We need to encourage innovation to unlock Africa's potential.
The ICT sector has witnessed rapid growth, in the areas of mobile devices, computer applications, information processing and sharing.
Given this increase, the creation of ICT hubs where tech-orientated individuals congregate to work, share ideas, programme & network will provide a cost-effective way for start-ups to grow their businesses as they provide support. These well-managed ecosystems will create a wider market for the ICT entrepreneurs and help accelerate the progress Africa has made.
With the level of success you have attained in your professional life, how do you balance your family and work life?
My husband and I have set a rule to have family time in the evenings after work. We do dinner and movies on Tuesday or Friday nights and on Sunday we use the day to visits our parents.
We have had moments when our work has compromised our professional life but we have found a way to communicate with each other when we know that the hectic work pressure is upon us.
It's a challenge to get it right but we do try our best not to let our work define us.

NEW MILFORD CONNECTICUT – This is the First Congregational Church in New Milford. It was founded in 1716; construction on the first meeting house was started in 1719 and was finished in 1731 (construction delays were evidently as common then as they are now); Construction of the present building commenced in 1831, and was completed in 1833. The lovely Greek revival facade was typical of the era.

Making irresistible, original recipe foods with Aloha Spirit since 1950. Welcome to our ohana & mahalo for helping us spread Aloha Spirit.
Recipe Details
12 Kraft® Jet Puffed Marshmallows for S'moreMallows
4 Milk Chocolate Bars
12-24 Bamboo Forks or Toothpicks
12-24 Glow in the Dark toy eyes
¼ c Butter, melted
Black Light
1 package KING'S HAWAIIAN Original Hawaiian Sweet Dinner Rolls
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 F.Step 2
Separate rolls, cut in half horizontally to make 24 halves and lay out on a baking sheet.Step 3
Brush melted butter onto open half of each roll.Step 4
Bake for about 8-10 minutes. While they are baking, you can prep your toy eyes. For this particular project, we used glow in the dark eyes that had an adhesive back. We also used bamboo forks, which are a thicker type of toothpick and adhered the eyes to the bamboo fork. Reinforce with tape if needed.Step 5
When the rolls are done baking, remove from oven and immediately put chocolate bars onto the roll. We have found that a section of 3 small squares fits on most rolls. Allow chocolate to melt naturally.Step 6
Add the marshmallow on top of the chocolate. Just like the rolls, the marshmallows are somewhat imperfect, so you can mix and match according to size and shape.Step 7
Add the top roll and insert toothpick eyes through the top. Get creative when making your S'monsters. One, two, three eyes…. There are no rules.Step 8
Display your S'monsters on a table near a black light so the eyes and mallows glow. These taste best when your guests eat them right away.
KING'S HAWAIIAN says:
S'mores are best when eaten right after they are made. Put a couple S'monsters out for display, but allow people to eat the majority of them quickly. Also, if you want your mallows to glow a little more, brush some tonic water on the side that is facing out. You can use your finger for this.

As K-Pop continues to take the world by storm, the Litecoin Foundation today announced a partnership with K-Pop concert production company, C&U Entertainment Global, to promote Litecoin (LTC) through the upcoming Feel the K-Pop concert.
Taking place on April 6th at EagleBank Arena on the campus of George Mason University, the concert features K-Pop sensations Kim Jong Kook and Ailee, as well as several other popular artists in the genre, including WheeSung, HaHa, Huh Gak, and Skull.
As part of the collaboration, the Litecoin Foundation has reserved ULTRA VIP tickets that will be exclusively available to purchase using Litecoin. These tickets, which will offer the best seating and experience in the arena, will soon be available on the Litecoin Foundation's website.
The Litecoin Foundation will also have several members on site during the event to help educate concert goers on the power of Litecoin.
K-Pop has become a global phenomenon with a captive audience of millions around the world. The buzz it commands is immense, garnering 5.3 billion tweets in 2018 alone, continuing to dominate the Billboard Social 50 chart, and even taking this year's Grammys by storm. This kind of attention has enabled K-Pop to transcend the Asian market, as evident in the increase in top K-Pop stars announcing US tours.
South Korea, the home of K-Pop, also happens to be a hotbed for cryptocurrency. The country of 50 million has historically shown a high level of technology adoption and possess an infrastructure and framework that has allowed it to cultivate a thriving cryptocurrency ecosystem. South Korea has been a microcosm of the broader Asian cryptocurrency market, which has played a major role in global activity. In fact, past research has reported that Asian investors account for over 75% of daily cryptocurrency trades.
"These entertainers have millions of followers across the globe, who in large part, are familiar with cryptocurrency and are historically early adopters of new technologies," said Charlie Lee, Creator of Litecoin and Managing Director of the Litecoin Foundation. "The ability to tap into this type of audience through education and real world use cases can be really powerful for Litecoin."
Feel the K-Pop is the first of potentially several events as part of the collaboration between the Litecoin Foundation and C&U Entertainment. The organizations are actively working towards a series of groundbreaking events that will blend the power of K-Pop and cryptocurrency, and support the mission to bring Litecoin to the masses.
"C&U has seen firsthand how passionate and engaged K-Pop fans are," said Brian Jeon, CEO of C&U Entertainment. "We look forward to working with the Litecoin Foundation to put on this and future events that are not only entertaining, but also empowering in the way they educate people on the potential Litecoin holds for the world."

Use while to repetitively perform the same logic over and over again so long as a specified condition is true. For example:
fn fact(mut n i32) i32: mut result = 1 while n > 1: result *= n --n result
This function calculates the factorial of some number n. So long as n stays greater than one, the inner block repeatedly multiplies result by n and then decrements n. So, if n is 5, result will be calculated as 5 * 4 * 3 * 2, returning 120.
The while statement's condition can be any conditional expression, as described for if. The condition is checked when encountering the while statement, and then again every time after the block's statements have been performed. Whenever the condition evaluates as false, execution continues at the first statement after the while block.
break statements may be placed anywhere within a while block to terminate the repetitive loop early. We can code the factorial function yet another way using 'break':
fn fact(mut n i32) i32: mut result = 1 while true: if n < 2: break result *= n-- result
As this example shows, break is typically found within an if block. A break statement terminates the control flow for the innermost loop block it is found within.
The continue statement also changes the loop's control flow. Instead of terminating the loop, it resumes execution at the top of the loop, re-evaluating the conditional expression. Effectively, continue ignores all subsequent statements in the loop's block.
fn countOdd(n i32) i32: mut result = 0 while n > 0: if n-- % 2 == 0: continue ++result result
loop as expression
To use a loop as an expression, use loop instead of while. This is the equivalent of while true. One or more break statements will be required to signal when the loop needs to terminate,.
These break statements may specify a value to be returned from the loop.
imm found = loop: if idx > maxidx: break -1 if matches(idx): break idx ++idx
If this feature is used, all break statements in the loop must return a value, all of the same type.
Outer block breaks
To make it possible for break or continue to apply to a loop outside the loop it is in, mark the outer loop with a lifetime annotation and then use that same annotation on the break or continue statement.
'outer: each n in 1...5: while obj.fireAShot(): if obj.impacted: continue 'outer
