text: During the opening of The Remains of the Day, Ishiguro presents the character of Stevens through a first person narrative. Readers are presented with a character that is often quite pretentious, putting on a fa�ade in order to present himself as a "great" butler. Through the first person narrative Ishiguro lets the character gradually reveal himself to the readers and in doing so, lets Stevens show his absurdities to the reader himself. In the opening of the novel, Ishiguro shows the readers how absorbed Stevens is with his profession as a butler, believing it to be the most important profession in the world. Also within the introduction of the novel, Ishiguro presents the readers with Stevens's feelings of nostalgia through the retrospective structure of the novel.From the very beginning of the novel it is clear to the readers that Stevens is a very reserved and formal character. The language he uses is very precise and correct. Although the novel starts with a proposition from Mr Farraday that is quite unconventional, the way in which Stevens reacts to the idea of a trip shows him to be a very conventional character to the readers. Stevens does not want to seem "presumptuous." Ishiguro presents the readers with a character that wants to behave in the conventional manner, in a way that is most acceptable in society. By making Stevens reveal himself in this way, Ishiguro is also showing the readers that Stevens will do anything to be the perfect employee, even if it means not being himself. Throughout the opening part of the novel, there are often suggestions Stevens is not being himself in order to please his employer. Ishiguro shows the readers that Stevens does not have particularly good social skills, perhaps as Mr Farraday suggests very early in the novel because Stevens is always "locked up" in Darlington Hall.Yet Stevens still strives to be the best butler he can possibly be for Mr Farraday, which is emphasised through his attempts to "banter" with his employer. Stevens believes that it is "good professional service that an employee provide some entertaining banter." By including Steven's joke about gypsies Ishiguro shows the readers that Stevens is socially inept yet also Ishiguro illustrates how Stevens is willing to put on a fa�ade and act in a way that he in uncomfortable with in order to please his employer. Stevens's desperation to be the best butler he can be is also emphasised here because he actually believes he can teach himself to be funny, yet it is an intuition to know whether or not to make a joke.Although Stevens does his best to please his employer, it is clear he has an attitude of superiority towards Americans. Stevens doesn't "take Mr Farraday's suggestion at all seriously". Stevens looks down on the American way of life and he doesn't take Mr Farraday seriously because he doesn't know what is "commonly done in England." By saying this, Stevens suggests that what is convention in England is the right thing to do, without a doubt. Here, not only has Ishiguro presented Steven's snobbery towards all things foreign but also shows his patriotic character. Stevens's patriotic character is later reinforced by Ishiguro when Stevens is describing a view of the English countryside. Stevens believes the English landscape "possesses a quality that the landscape of other nations….inevitably fail to possess." Stevens tells the readers the view possesses the quality of "greatness", in doing so Ishiguro demonstrates how Stevens is incredibly proud of being British but furthermore I believe Ishiguro is also showing readers that Stevens himself likes Britain's landscape because he is attracted to simplicity in his life. Stevens dislikes other nations "dramatic" surroundings, which I believe presents to the readers Stevens love of restraint.Very early on Stevens alerts readers to his relationship with Miss Kenton through his defensive attitude towards her letter, asking readers "why should I hide it?" his paranoid and almost guilty manner about the letter shows the importance it holds for him. The emphasis that it is important only for "professional" matters also presents a defensive attitude, as if Stevens is trying to hide that it is far from professional. The emphasis on profession also reinforces to the readers how Stevens believes you can not do anything for fun, it all has to be for the most important profession there is, being a butler. Ishiguro presents Steven's obsession with his profession in more than one way.Stevens is communicating to readers in 1956, by which time butlers were quite uncommon, yet through the retrospective structure, Steven's reminiscence are all about being a butler. The times have changed a lot but Stevens has not. Also, the opening of The Remains of the Day is to a large extent, Stevens considering what a great butler is. No matter what Stevens is thinking about, whether it is Miss Kenton or the English countryside, Stevens will bring it back to being a butler. By portraying Stevens in this way, Ishiguro presents to the readers a character whose profession is his life, Stevens has nothing outside of being a butler. Initially readers may find it quite infuriating that Stevens's character is so absorbed with his profession like this but irritation soon turns pity as readers can see that his profession is all he has.Despite Ishiguro clearly presenting Stevens to be very nostalgic and a character who admires tradition of the past, Ishiguro also presents a character that is in denial. Stevens likes to think he isn't clinging to the past. He claims to believe that "there is no virtue at all in clinging as some do to tradition merely for its own sake." This is of course very ironic as Stevens, in parts of the novel, describes things that happened over 20 years ago. In using irony like this, Ishiguro lets Stevens reveal his own absurdities to the readers and also again presents the disguise Stevens has, in which he is never quite true to himself or the readers.Throughout the opening of The Remains of the Day, through a first person narrative, Ishiguro presents the character of Stevens. By using a retrospective structure Ishiguro is able to emphasise Stevens love for the past and tradition and Steven's strong feelings of nostalgia. Through the reminiscence Stevens has in the first part of the novel, Ishiguro is able to show the readers how obsessed he is with his profession, although readers may fined this to be irritating to begin with, I believe most begin to pity Stevens's way of life. It is evident that Stevens is a very restrained character, who will do anything to please his employer, as this is what a "great" butler should do. By demonstrating Stevens attempt at bantering and telling a joke, Ishiguro presents the character's social ineptness. Ishiguro's use of irony also lets Steven's himself reveal his own absurd nature to the readers.

Three Palms for Gail • © 2011 Karen Lynn Ingalls
Scumbling (sounds like stumbling, but with a "k" sound) is, for me, one of the most useful techniques an artist can learn. I've used it in several places throughout the painting above. It's a particular kind of brushwork – using it, you can create wonderfully magical effects. To scumble, you drag a dry brush lightly loaded with paint across another color.
Detail, Three Palms for Gail • © 2011 Karen Lynn Ingalls
When might you use it? Anytime you want a transitional area between colors (in portraits, in landscape paintings, in painting skies, for example). Above, it not only helped create an atmospheric effect in the skies and distant mountains, but it also added a kind of laciness to the palm fronds. Scumbling is a way of blending color that allows the viewer to blend the colors with their eyes....
Want to learn more? Here are two earlier posts that discuss it thoroughly:
Scumbling shows how scumbling was used by Rembrandt and Modigliani in portraits.
Scumbling video lesson with Jan Blencowe links to a demonstration of the scumbling technique that Blencowe uses to create a beautifully atmospheric sky.

Website Lead Generation and Conversion Guide
Introduction: It All Starts with Your Website
Your website is your first opportunity to make the best impression with potential customers by providing the information, answers, and experience they expect. Is your site optimized to attract visitors and function as a lead generation tool? When it comes to web design, SEO, calls-to-action, and other digital marketing tactics, it's important to start with the foundational elements. This eBook covers all the essentials to effectively optimize your website for lead generation and
Basic Website Discovery Questions
Your website builds more than credibility. It generates leads, 24 x 7 x 365. So how can you tell whether or not you're taking full advantage of that opportunity? Ask yourself the following important questions:
#1 Is my homepage effective?
In order to determine whether or not your website is built like a marketing engine, you first and foremost need to know your hierarchy. Keep it simple: Have one main goal, and have a secondary call-to-action. In addition, focus on branding and credibility. For instance, you can leverage client testimonials—and avoid stock imagery if you can to keep your brand story authentic. When it comes to messaging, keep it concise. Your website copy should be short and focused on your value proposition. Before you can get more eyes on your website, you need to drive search traffic through search engine optimization (SEO)—which includes on-page SEO. Make your H1 and H2 headings clear, and include relevant keywords as well as your business location. And don't forget to add meta descriptions. The image below depicts an example of an effective homepage layout that conveys the right message for the company.
#2 Is your navigation well organized?
Good website navigation starts with a sitemap. When creating your sitemap, ask yourself whether certain elements fit in the main navigation.
In addition, you should leverage your utility navigation. These links should be practical and informational, such as contact number, customer login, link to support, payment portal, etc. Here's an example of well-organized website navigation.
Beyond the Basics: How to Stand Out to Site Visitors
Now that you understand the foundations of a conversion-optimized website, let's go one step further with these nine important elements that can make your homepage really standout to prospects and allow lead generation to occur
1. Value Proposition
How do you help your customers? What problems do you solve? What makes you great? The answers to these questions all help form a concise statement about your business, known as a value proposition. In less than 10 words, you should be able to answer the question: "Why should I buy from you?" When it comes to value props, the best are clear, simple and powerful. It should cut to the core of what you do and emphasize why there's no better option for the customer than you.
2. Navigation
Often overlooked, the site structure and navigation will determine how easily your customers can find the information they need to determine if they want to move forward with your services. Site navigation needs to be easy to understand and intuitive, so prospects can to reach the areas they'd like to explore as easily as possible. When visitors arrive at your website, you only have seconds to capture their attention. A frustrating experience with your navigation
will force them to bounce. In general, you'll want to be sure not to bury your content in excessive menu structures or abstract descriptions of what people are looking for.
3. Calls-to-Action (CTAs)
One of the most important steps in the conversion process is to provide a way of guiding your audience to take the next step. Give visitors the chance to convert by placing easily visible links or buttons throughout your site that have clear and active language as to what to do next. Clearly explain what to do to take the next step (e.g., click here to learn more; request a demo now; speak to a representative today, etc.). Pro-tip: Use CTAs for key conversions in your navigation.
4. Differentiators
What sets you apart from your competition? What does your business specialize in or do best? Compile a set of items that make you stand out from your competitors, and any advantages you are able to provide for prospective customers. Each of these items should be about a sentence long and written in such a way that your visitors will remember, whether it's that you resolve 99% of client issues or provide doctor's offices with complete security services. If you are not sure what your key differentiators are, you can take this statement and fill in the blanks: "My company is the only ___________, that does ___________ for ___________." You may have more than one answer, which is a good thing. You can compile those one, two, or three differentiators and make a very attractive section for your homepage that'll be a strong area of conversion.
5. Products and Services Synopsis
A concise list of your products and services that can expand to show more detail will help inform your prospects in a fast and efficient manner. Remember, your homepage is only a brief synopsis of your business, so save the deeper content for other pages (and gated content), so that your visitors will want to dig deeper into the rest of your website if they are interested.
6. Featured Content
If you have any downloadable content, such as infographics, eBooks, blog articles, videos, etc., that are intended to help your audience be successful in using your product, make sure you designate a section to them near the top half of your homepage. These should be your best pieces of content, so you can put your best foot forward. Sharing these not only proves to your visitors that you are there to help them but also tells them that you are a voice in your industry.
7. Images and Video
Today, beautiful images and well-produced video are essential to delivering the story of your business. While also breaking up blocks of text, they should be integrated seamlessly to merge text and imagery to convey a complete message. They help visitors visualize and connect with your product and allow them to see how it can help them. Videos are a great way to inform and engage visitors in a short period of time and are best used to get concepts across that would
otherwise be difficult to explain.
8. Customer Success Stories
All the pitches and sales material in the world will never be as powerful as honest customer feedback, so it's essential to capture positive reviews, case studies of major success and testimonials your clients have provided to let them speak on your behalf. Customer testimonials drive validation to your solutions and can be a strong driver of conversion.
9. Social Media
Get social! Effective use of social media platforms can help the public engage with your brand and get to know the people who are delivering your services. It increases awareness of your brand in places where your target audience members are having meaningful conversations.
Conversion Opportunities
Moving Leads Down the Page and Down the Funnel
Once website visitors start reading your well-constructed homepage, it's only natural to want to learn more! Once that visitor clicks a CTA, they're then brought to a landing page. A landing page is a page on your website that's designed to convert visitors into leads, usually via a form that asks visitors to input basic information about themselves (name, company, email, etc.) in exchange for an offering or download of some kind. There are two basic types of landing pages: Click Through Landing Pages and Lead Generation Landing Pages.
A Click Through page has the goal of getting visitors to click through to another page—something often seen on e-commerce websites—whereas a Lead Generation
page is focused largely on capturing user information. In exchange for filling out a form, users may receive access to a free software trial, a physical item like a t-shirt, registration for an upcoming webinar, a content download, or anything in-between.
Key Landing Page Elements
Here's a quick look at what's included on a typical landing page:
- Start with a clear, informative header
- Explain the offer and emphasize its value, and remember to keep it concise
- Don't overwhelm readers with too many form fields—you should only include fields that are
relevant to the offer
- Ensure all content is visible above the "fold" so readers don't have to scroll down the page
- Experiment with relevant images, videos or graphics to capture a visitor's attention
Tracking Conversions
A landing page's conversion rate represents the percentage of visitors that filled out the form on the page. This is one of the most important metrics to track when reviewing your landing pages, as it gives you an idea as to whether the language, images and information on your page are clear, digestible and inviting enough to encourage visitors to submit their information. Pro-tip: You can increase gated downloads by tweaking form length, page copy, page layout and form placement.
There's a lot that can be done with landing pages, especially once you've got the basics down and are ready to do some more advanced testing. Keep trying different things to see what works best for your target audience.
Putting the Pieces Together to Solve Your Customers' Problems
To summarize, once you're able to build an effective homepage, organize your navigation, offer compelling calls-to-action, and deliver content that converts, your lead funnel will undoubtedly fuel a healthy business growth trajectory. Your ideal customers will connect with what your website conveys—especially now that you understand what it takes to resonate with them!

When you've published lots of content and are not seeing any concrete results, it's easy to think the answer is you just haven't yet published enough.
If it's high quality content, it certainly won't do any harm to make some more. However, if your content publishing efforts are following no clear structure or strategy, then it will also probably do little to help either.
This is where the content marketing funnel comes in. A content marketing funnel is similar to the buyer's journey in inbound marketing; it's a process based around your content that the user or potential buyer goes through, ideally ending in a sale of your product or service.
In the buyer's journey, the main stages are awareness, interest, decision, action. When it comes specifically to content marketing, these turn into discovery, consideration, and conversion.
Starting with discovery, let's dive into the content marketing funnel and help bring some structure and results into your content publishing efforts.
1. Discovery: The Blog Post
They're out walking the dog or sitting at home stroking the cat, and suddenly they become aware there's a problem and they need or want something to help fix it. So they stop what they're doing and jump online and get researching.
This is the discovery stage, the broadest part of the funnel in which the goal for the buyer is to become better informed. You want buyers to come across your brand at this early point in the process, not only to get you on their radar but also because you can play a part in making them more aware of and informed about the actual problem they're facing.
What you want here is high quality content in the form of blog articles. The key is to make the content as informative and fair as possible, giving the buyer an overview and insight into the market without being bias or pushy and trying to sell them your products or services.
2. Consideration: The Value Offer
Once they've gathered some information on the problem and what it is they need to help address it, they move into the consideration phase. This is the stage in which the buyer starts seeking out and comparing options in the light of making a purchase.
It's important to be bold and persistent here, but not so much that it drives potential customers away. Buyers are still looking for information, but now they want more targeted details and comparisons to find out which is the best option on the market for them and why.
The buyer is becoming more committed at this stage, so a good way to appeal to them and keep them in your content marketing funnel is by offering a free ebook, webinar, appointment, or the like, in exchange for them signing up to your email newsletter.
3. Conversion: Making The Sale
The final stage of the content marketing funnel is the conversion. This may seem like a single point in time and the main focus of the whole process, however, it's been building throughout your entire sales process — starting from the first impression you made with your blog posts.
Your content here is more directed towards you as a brand and your particular products and services. You want to show buyers what makes them better than the alternatives and why they should choose you. Buyers love honesty here; they see through claims about your offering being the best of all, and instead want to know what type of people you're not for, what makes you different, and why you may not be for everyone.
If the buyer is on your email list, then that's already a big obstacle overcame. Giving away their email address is a personal transaction, and with an invite to their inbox, you can make the gradual yet firm sell of gently reminding them you exist and persuading them to choose you.

Situated opposite the city's presidential complex, the Ankhor site in central Tashkent represents prime redevelopment land in Uzbekistan. Originally accommodating low level housing, outbuildings and wasteland, the 9.27ha site is located in a seismic zone. It is bounded by the Chirchick river, roads and buildings. Ramboll's structural, infrastructural and environmental expertise was sought, and we liaised with the architect from an early stage to explore masterplan options for a mixed use development.
The aim of the feasibility study was to maximise the density of any proposed design and address a number of issues in support of the planning application. Transport, access, structural requirements and infrastructure provision were investigated. Preliminary ground modelling was undertaken in those areas presenting the greatest potential risk to construction, given local seismic activity and poor ground conditions. Consultation with utility providers ensured that suggested improvements to the district heating and cooling systems took into account available technology and existing services.
The subsequent concept design proposed 200,000 sq m of residential apartments, exploiting the river frontage and incorporating leisure facilities and a mosque. Led by the architect, the team ensured that a sustainable development that would exceed international and national standards of good practice was presented. The concept design's emphasis is on sustainability, including energy efficiency and use, passive design, water use and management, waste management and ecology.

We transformed this 9-story UPMC office building, located at 3460 Fifth Avenue into a state-of-the-art laboratory complemented by administrative support space. The building's purpose is to now provide lab services for all of the Oakland Hospitals and physician offices. Each healthcare facility sends lab work via underground pneumatic tubing to the Clinical Lab Building for processing.
Building information modeling was implemented on this project for existing conditions modeling, design authoring, design reviews/visualization, 3D construction coordination and enriched record modeling.

Micro-Learning Nuggets Newsletter No. 4
Identifying the Vocational Training Centre (VTC) partner in country is one of the most important first steps of setting up a PPDP. You have a choice of setting up a new Vocational Training Centre or working with an existing one. Which would you choose and why?
Our learning has been that it is much more effective overall to work within existing VTCs, even if it means developing a new department or workshop and hiring new staff. Here are three reasons why:
- Cost and time optimization: this avoids having to build completely new infrastructure, the provision of which could take a long time and cause delays in implementation of the PPDP activities from clearance, contractors, permits, etc.
- Sustainability: An institutional home will help with sustainability – for example, continuation of activities once the formal PPDP project ends and provision of ongoing support and leadership for the new activities.
- Continuity: Because the VTCs are public institutions, the government can help with continuity and handover of the PPDP project back to the VTC, including ensuring planning for and continuity of staff contracts etc. at the end of the project.
Do you have a few minutes to learn more?
In our PPDP Development Toolkit, scan our Host Institution Selection Criteria to see what features are important when identifying the VTC partner. There is also a VTC Assessment Checklist that the implementing partner uses when visiting the selected VTC host to assess rehabilitation and equipment needs to launch the new PPDP. (2:00 minutes)
Still curious?
- Surf the VTC websites' Academy sections to see the workshops in action in the Iraq VTC, Morocco VTC, and Ethiopia VTC; read about their set up and look at the photo galleries (5:00 minutes)
- Scan our PPDP Development Toolkit – a step-by-step guide on the very first steps of developing PPDP projects that focus on vocational skills training. Four steps starting from the initial concept note. (2:15 minutes)
- Watch this video about the LKD Facility to learn more about the programme that connects these VTCs for learning together and with private sector partners, donors and implementing agencies. (5:07 minutes)

Charles Dickens wrote: "No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another." Ralph Waldo Emerson added: "The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well." Even the Roman philosopher Cicero (106-43 BC) wrote: "Not for ourselves alone are we born – Non nobis solum nati sumus." Adding to this view about our potential to make a difference in this world and lives of others, Edgar Cayce taught:
When we reach the place that we desire only to be a channel of blessings to others and self is lost sight of, then we have attained to the Christ-Consciousness.
-- Edgar Cayce reading 262-11
In doing this we are not to overlook our own spiritual needs, no, but Cayce taught as we are a channel of blessings, we receive blessings! (Edgar Cayce reading 262-3) Cayce assured us:
As seekers apply that indicated here [spirituality], we find that their lives will grow better, their knowledge of their relationship to Creative Forces will be broadened, and their abilities to aid and be a channel of blessings to others will be increased.
-- Edgar Cayce reading 262-124
So often we lose our way or become uncertain about what to do with our lives. This happens to all of us. Former president of the United States, Barack Obama, spoke up on this matter: "The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don't wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope."
Edgar Cayce added:
If an entity is desirous of finding its place, its relationship, know that wherever it is – wherever it is – it should begin! And each day, each hour, offers a new opportunity for those who seek to find their place, their relationship, to be a channel of blessings to others, through the knowledge of the divine within their own individual experience. Keep that before thee constantly. Not as something that hinders from the material associations. Rather let it sweeten; let it make the entity, the body, the mind, the activities more amenable, more congenial, more in that atmosphere of helpfulness always to others.
-- Edgar Cayce reading 361-13
It's hard. Our minds and motivations can easily be knocked off the track of our good intentions. Doubts creep in, reactions to unkind people can dull our enthusiasm, and we retreat. Cayce knew this. He knew human nature well. He encouraged us to keep "constructive thought"! He went on:
There should be little of fear, for as the body expresses itself at times in its relationships to others, keep that [constructive] attitude. Be more tolerant, be more patient, be more humble. These are … just as applicable in the experience of business as in the social and the spiritual relationships. For one's attitude regarding its religious or spiritual life should be not as of proclamations, not as tenets, not as 'see the beautiful things I have done' or that have been done, but do them without comment, live the Life! These are the manners, then, to keep the proper attitude towards conditions that may arise, that do arise in the home, in the office, in the associations with friends, foes, enemies, and those that would become a part of the entity's association in every relationship.
-- Edgar Cayce reading 257-168
There is a powerful psychological principle at work here that underlies the psychology of caring about others and their lives. When we experience ourselves as givers, we affirm our value to others. In transcending the self-centeredness, we find our true self that was originally made in the image and likeness of the Creator of all life! (Genesis 1:26)
We do however have to search our hearts for purity in our motivations. All of the great teachers warn against self-exalting motivations to do good so as to be seen by others and honored by others. Human motivations are complex. Do we give because we want to be thought of as generous? Do we give because of social pressure? Or, do we give because it makes us feel good to see others happy? And it does! American Rabbi Harold S. Kushner, author of several books, wrote: "When you carry out acts of kindness you get a wonderful feeling inside. It is as though something inside your body responds and says, yes, this is how I ought to feel." Do we give because we genuinely care about someone's welfare or about the welfare of our neighborhood and country?
When Cayce began his teachings on searching for God (his 262 series of readings), his first topic was Cooperation! Humans have had to be somewhat cooperative for evolution forced them to rely upon other people for survival. One way that evolution has conspired to promote cooperation is by building a sense of mutual benefit. But, Cayce took cooperation to a higher level by encouraging us to "learn what it means to cooperate in one mind, in God's way." (Edgar Cayce reading 262-1) He added:
All power, all force, arises from one source; and those that have same are only lended same by an All-Wise and Merciful Creator as talents to be used in His vineyard. For each entity, each soul, is his brother's keeper!
-- Edgar Cayce reading 189-3
We are an important part of collective soul group! Our presence makes a difference—that is, if we engage life and people.
In his book Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience, Steve Maraboli wrote: "This life is for loving, sharing, learning, smiling, caring, forgiving, laughing, hugging, helping, dancing, wondering, healing, and even more loving. I choose to live life this way. I want to live my life in such a way that when I get out of bed in the morning, the devil says, 'aw s**t, he's up!'"
American writer and theologian Frederick Buechner wrote that God originally said to us: "Here is your life. You might never have been, but you are, because the party wouldn't have been complete without you. Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid. I am with you. Nothing can ever separate us. It's for you I created the universe. I love you."
The "party" wouldn't be complete without you and your caring about us. Be a channel of blessings, and you will enjoy blessings within yourself.

CRU science is compromised
98. The disclosure of data from the Climatic Research Unit has been a traumatic and challenging experience for all involved and to the wider world of science. There are proposals to increase worldwide taxation by up to a trillion dollars on the basis of climate science predictions. This is an area where strong and opposing views are held. The release of the e-mails from CRU at the University of East Anglia and the accusations that followed demanded independent and objective scrutiny by independent panels. This has not happened. The composition of the two panels has been criticised for having members who were over identified with the views of CRU. Lord Oxburgh as President of the Carbon Capture and Storage Association and Chairman of Falck Renewable appeared to have a conflict of interest. Lord Oxburgh himself was aware that this might lead to criticism. Similarly Professor Boulton as an ex colleague of CRU seemed wholly inappropriate to be a member of the Russell panel. No reputable scientist who was critical of CRU's work was on the panel, and prominent and distinguished critics were not interviewed. The Oxburgh panel did not do as our predecessor committee had been promised, investigate the science, but only looked at the integrity of the researchers. With the exception of Professor Kelly's notes other notes taken by members of the panel have not been published. This leaves a question mark against whether CRU science is reliable. The Oxburgh panel also did not look at CRU's controversial work on the IPPC which is what has attracted most series allegations. Russell did not investigate the deletion of e-mails. We are now left after three investigations without a clear understanding of whether or not the CRU science is compromised."

I LOVE SPACE CADET! that song is awesome and me and my girlfriend always sing it so loud! ALL my friends keep asking about it, play it please!
the web master is going a great with the design of the web site ... no joke ...
So since I moved to Shreveport, the only way I can get y'all is through the web. Recently, I went to the Space Cadet show at the Blue Monkey and was ever so excited to get to hear the most wonderful radio station in my car again. Can't wait until I move back to the listening area!
It's great that you do this live broadcast ... moved to Natchitoches, but luckily I didn't have to give up my favorite station!
You guys r great, but play more Greg Dulli music. It rocks! I love your station, but sometimes have a hard time finding the music you play in stores. Where can I find the album 1965 by the Afghan Whigs?
You guys ROCK!
91X, what is up!!!! ya'll are so stinkin awesome ... you seriously kick major donkey ... so, i heard a song tonight (1-12) that started at 6:49/50 and ended @ 6:53/54, and i wasn't anywhere near a computer, but the song was rockin ... could u tell me what song it was and who sings it? i couldn't write down the lyrics either b/c i was driving ... let me know! keep up your grooviness =o)
I love this station! My boyfriend gets jealous because I spend so much time listening. Anyway, do u guys play any heavier stuff, like alice-in-chains, nirvana, or tool? Don't get me wrong, i love the songs u play, but sometimes i'm in the mood to bang my head a little, u know. keep it up and thanx again for being such a kick-a** station!
I once heard a song that mentioned clocks in the beginning. It sort of reminded me of Coldplay, but I'm 100% sure it definitely wasn't them. I swear I heard the song on a movie.
(From Freiburg, Germany) i used to visit a HS in monroe 5 years ago as an exchange student and since then i'm listening to you guys via the web - you really rock!! there is no station in germany only half as good as you are! keep it up.

The service is called "A to Z to me". You just need to use the plus icon to zoom in to the Isle of Wight on the map and then click on the circle icon when it appears. You will then be able to select you location and view services available for your location.
This is a great way to support local Island business through this difficult time and also access the supplies you need in a safe way.

Welcome to the newest series on my blog! Fun Fact Friday!! I want to give my wonderful followers a chance to know me better (and for me to know you better) so welcome!!!
This new series will occur every Friday and will feature Fun Facts about me. At the end I will also pose a question or questions to you guys that will relate to my fun fact so I can get to know you better. Feel free join Fun Fact Friday on your own blog and post a link below!!
This week's Fun Fact: I love music almost as much as I love reading/writing.
Legitimately music is the only thing asides from books/writing that I've consistently loved. I always have to have some kind of music around me. Even when I'm reading. Just like with books, I'll listen to just about any genre and I'll give anything a try. I most stick to pop punk, kpop (Korean pop), classic rock, top 40, and country but I rappers I love and R&B artists and folk singers. Even Celtic music.
If I didn't love writing just a smidgen more, I'm sure I would have found a way for my career to revolve around music. Probably not playing an instrument or anything because I'm awful at playing consistently (/flashbacks to days in band) but maybe DJing or something low level in production.
Some of my favorite artists include: Rascal Flatts, All Time Low, SHINee, B.A.P., Mayday Parade, Gaelic Storm, Poison, Luke Bryan, Kim Feel, Bangtan Sonyeodan (BTS), Miranda Lambert, Cute is What We Aim For, and many, many others.
I actually have over 90GB of music on my computer last time I checked. Which is way more than I can possibly listen to all the time but I love always having unknown music to pour over. I go through genre phases with music the same way I go through genre phases with books which I think just proves how much I love it. I never stop just switch to something a little different. The same cannot be said of me for my other interests like video games.
How into music are you? Did you ever consider a career in it? What are some of your favorite artists/genres?

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars, Genre: Fiction, Pages: 186, Reading Level: Easy
Book Description:
"Leo Borlock follows the unspoken rule at Mica Area High School: don't stand out- under any circumstances! Then Stargirl arrives at Mica High and everything changes- for Leo and for the entire school. After 15 years of home schooling, Stargirl bursts into tenth grade in an explosion of color and a clatter of ukulele music, enchanting the Mica student body.
But the delicate scales of popularity suddenly shift, and Stargirl is shunned for everything that makes her different. Somewhere in the midst of Stargirl's arrival and rise and fall, normal Leo Borlock has tumbled into love with her.
In a celebration of nonconformity, Jerry Spinelli weaves a tense, emotional tale about the fleeting, cruel nature of popularity- and the thrill and inspiration of first love.
In this story about the perils of popularity, the courage of nonconformity, and the thrill of first love, an eccentric student named Stargirl changes Mica High School forever. "
Wow. I am going to have to extend my all time favorites list to twenty so this makes it on there.
Stargirl is a story about… I don't even know how to summarize. Obviously you can read the summaries on Goodreads, Barnes & Noble and Amazon, but they wouldn't come close to explaining what you will take away from this book. I guess the closest I can come to summarizing is- Stargirl is the story of someone who marches to the beat of her own drummer and what happens when she breaks into the rigid structure of conformity that is known as high school.
Before I begin my comments, please keep in mind that I am an adult. At the time of this review, I am in my early forties. So while the story is great, the parts that sing to me are completely different than what captures my 10 year old daughter's attention. Reading my comments below, you may think this book is one long intellectual quote after another, but it is not. This is a high school story with drama, crushes, mean girls, cheerleading, awkward lunch scenes, ukuleles and nose picking. I'm not kidding. I could not get through the nose picking scene without stopping several times to laugh and catch my breath, and it isn't even that long. As I was saying, despite my comments below, trust me, Stargirl is a very good book to read together with your kids, and I do emphasize 'together.' I cannot emphasize that enough. Even if you do not regularly read aloud with your child, which I highly recommend (reading that is, not the not reading), this book may be the place to start or recommence. It is short and a quick read. And you definitely want to read it with your child. It is a great opportunity to get kids to talk because I guarantee Stargirl will bring up recollections of real life incidents.
This book is so incredibly beautiful. I laughed. I cried. I had to stop from time to time to take in what I had just read. The writing, phenomenal-
The echo of her laughter is the second sunrise I awaken to each day, and at night I feel it is more than stars looking down on me. p148.
I have to admit I am not quite up on my literary devices, but I believe the following quote is a metaphor. Please someone correct me in the comments section if I am wrong. This is not the only reference to frogs so it would make a good discussion point. I just never thought a quote that includes frogs could be so eloquent-
It was wonderful to see, wonderful to be in the middle of: we mud frogs awakening all around. We were awash in tiny attentions. Small gestures, words, empathies thought to be extinct came to life. For years the strangers among us had passed sullenly in the hallways; now we looked, we nodded, we smiled. If someone got an A, others celebrated, too. If someone sprained an ankle, others felt the pain. We discovered the color of each other's eyes.
It was a rebellion she led, a rebellion for rather than against. For ourselves. For the dormant mud frogs we had been for so long. p38
And while there are very funny scenes in the book, especially the nose picking scene, I know I already mentioned that but it is really funny and deserves to be mentioned twice, there are frequently quotes that are so poignant they take your breath away-
It's in the morning, for most of us. It's that time, those few seconds when we're coming out of sleep but we're not really awake yet. For those few seconds we're something more primitive than what we are about to become. We have just slept the sleep of our most distant ancestors, and something of them and their world still clings to us. For those few moments we are unformed, uncivilized. We are not the people we know as ourselves, but creatures more in tune with a tree than a keyboard. We are untitled, unnamed, natural, suspended between was and will be, the tadpole before the frog, the worm before the butterfly. We are, for a few brief moments, anything and everything we could be. p85
Ahh… there are so many quotes I want to share, but I don't want to take away the joy of discovering them yourself during the course of this breathtaking story. I guess what I find most beautiful about Stargirl is how in a world that sometimes makes us feel so insignificant, we see how one person can have such a huge impact on an individual and community with only a brief presence.
Do yourself a favor- read the book.
On a personal note…
My daughter marches to the beat of her own drummer as well, as you can see from the picture. She was about 6 years old when she started dressing herself for school and this was not even the most… unique… of her outfits. She thought she looked good. Why would I want to contradict that? I myself did not always conform to social norms, and while I truly believe I am a happier person for it, it wasn't easy. It is much harder to watch my daughter go through it. She is younger and more immature than her classmates, so she doesn't always understand why she is being punished socially for some of the things she does.
When I heard about Stargirl, I thought it would be the perfect book for her to read. First, because I knew she would sympathize with Stargirl and see the situation from a larger perspective. Also, so when she sees a Stargirl, hopefully she will be more likely to befriend her rather than join the crowd in distancing themselves.
As we read, she was excited when good things happened to Stargirl. She laughed at the funny things Stargirl did, not at Stargirl, but because Stargirl's behavior was fun and out of the ordinary. She became upset and indignant when Stargirl was treated poorly. I can only hope she remembers that feeling when she sees someone else being treated poorly just for being different. And I hope she remembers how much she loved Stargirl's uniqueness, finding strength and taking pride in her own when she herself is the target of less than kind behavior.

New strategy for Indian policemen's safety in IOK
Srinagar, August 25, 2018 (PPI-OT): In occupied Kashmir, the Indian police have devised a strategy to ensure the safety of its personnel. Director General of Police, SP Vaid, expressing concern over the recent killing of three cops in southern Kashmir, said that the policemen would not be granted long leaves. Rather, he said, they would be allowed surprise family visits for only two hours in case of emergency and only after informing the police station concerned. On August 22, unidentified gunmen had killed three Indian policemen including an officer in Pulwama and Kulgam areas.

CARDIFF CITY manager Lennie Lawrence was delighted with the way his Bluebirds bounced back after Stoke equalised midway through the second half.
City were 1-0 ahead and controlling the game when Kris Commons levelled for the Potters against the run of play on the hour.
But Robert Earnshaw fired his second of the afternoon in the 71st minute before Danny Gabbidon made sure of victory 10 minutes later.
"When they equalised it was a tricky time for us but we responded very well," said Lawrence.
"People were getting restless at 1-1. We had opportunities to score a second goal before they equalised and when they scored you might think it's going to be one of those days.
"But our second goal was a great counter-attacking goal. We do a lot of work on that so it's very pleasing to score in that fashion.
"This was always going to be a difficult game. Stoke are a big, strong side. They played better than the scoreline indicates.
"It wouldn't have been a disaster if we didn't win. But it's these sort of games that decide if you are there or not at the end of the season."
Yesterday's win stretches City's unbeaten run to six games and Lawrence added: "Considering all the chopping and changing I've had to do because we've lost players - we've had a great run.
"We're just one point off the play-offs and we've got a game in hand over a few teams. I'm happy with that.
"By the time we play our next game - at Wimbledon on November 22 - we should have Rhys Weston back and maybe Peter Thorne as well."
For the Potters' clash Lawrence handed Crystal Palace loan signing Julian Gray - who has seen his loan spell extended to another month - his first Bluebirds' start while rookie goalkeeper Arran Lee Barrett was on the bench because No 2 shot-stopper Martyn Margetson was out with a back strain. "Julian did his bits and pieces. He played 75 minutes and I thought that was the right time to take him off."

Technology has brought an entirely new experience to retailers. Now, retailers can market anything, anywhere with no boundaries.
On-line retail shops additionally have their very own regional physical online marketing Consultant shops where consumers could stroll right into and buy something. On the various another end, the local stores have actually likewise made certain that they have online shops so that consumers have the ability to purchase online as well as they do not have to come physically to their stores.
This suggests that their products are available to those who shop online as well as those that could not access the net to store, thus broadening their brand name.
The best ways to make you're Retail Organization Omnipresent?
Sellers are quickly upgrading their game and are transforming their companies to be omnipresent for better success. Companies are browsing the web by either establishing top SEO companies an e-commerce shop or a purchasing cart app where customers are able to buy their products.
On the other hand, those with on the internet shops are constructing physical stores so that individuals in areas where internet gain marketing access to is not well created can have an easier time acquiring their products. By doing this every client's requirements are fulfilled. When they are able to shop online they will and when they could not, they will have a physical store to count on.
Moreover, social media sites are not behind in this video game. Retailers have actually begun their Facebook, Twitter and also various other social pages where consumers can go shopping as well as message their queries. If you desire your business to prosper and control the competition, it is needed that you become universal.
You need to be all over at the exact same time and also see to it that prospective consumers are frequently being advised of your visibility in the market.
Why You Must Take into consideration Being Omnipresent As A Merchant
There are lots of reasons a store need to make every effort to be universal. Which means be available at all times to make sure that your clients can constantly have access to your product or services along with having the ability to get in touch with as well as interact with you. Some of these reasons include:-.
Organization Expansion
Adding one or lots of systems to your organization is like increasing your service. Having retail applications that make it possible for people to go shopping for the products you are using and even getting them through your website is a very easy means of reaching even more individuals. Those that cannot come to the shop or are far from it will certainly have the chance to go shopping through the company's application or with the website.

In the exact same means, having a local shop could draw in individuals easily to make sure that they come as well as buy your items.
Advertising Approach
Being anywhere, you are marketing on your own to the potential consumers. Having all the info that relates to your services along with products lets the general public understand that you exist as well as that you can look after their needs properly.

Whether it's negative or favorable, it is important to recognize the mind of the customers so that you can either change or improve as well as much better.
Significance focuses on results. Old-school concepts of awareness and also involvement are the potential methods, not the end. Importance is about the best objective– triggering the desired actions.
Just how do you become appropriate? There are 3 various ways, as well as you have to use all three:
- Sector Your Marketing.
You cannot be all things to all individuals. But you can be pertinent to all individuals based on some facet of your offering. You could figure out which facet will reverberate by separating your advertising by really certain classifications– age, income, gender, education, geography, life experience, passions, and politics, whatever. After that figure out how you could make just what you have appropriate for individuals in each of those groups.
- Understand Abstract Chauffeurs.
There are 4 elements that will impact consumers' actions to your offering, though commonly to a degree they cannot verbalize: reasoning, sensory allure, community, and worth. Understand as well as take advantage of these drivers.
- Take Into Consideration the 3 Cs.
Importance depends on 3 scenarios– material, context, as well as get in touch with. The material of interactions is the key lorry for delivering significance to a target market. Context, through which we suggest time as well as room, is an additional factor. Contact is the 3rd element; significance depends upon the interaction's resource, in addition to the tool itself.
Having a company has to have a function and also objectives. Every product you have must have an objective why you market this item, just how it functions. That's what company should have; every item should have relevance as well as omnipresence.
