Viva's Blog: 8 Fun Facts About This Year's Super Bowl Ads
[4 minute read]
Ready for advertisers' biggest night of the year? The Super Bowl ads that air on Sunday will go viral, make us laugh, and may even win Emmys. Last year, 111 million viewers watched "the show". The next biggest event was the Oscars at 33 million.
Be in the know on Sunday with these 8 fun facts:
Fact #1: A steal at $5 million.
A 30-second spot in this year's edition of the New England Patriots versus whoever (L.A. Rams this time!) costs a historic $166,667/second. The cost of this investment soared 87% over the last decade. That's just the price of the ad time, and does not include production and talent costs.
Fact #2: Skittles stages a Broadway musical in NYC on Super Bowl Sunday instead of airing an ad.
Instead of buying an ad, Skittles is putting on a live Broadway performance dubbed, "Skittles Ad: The Musical" on Super Bowl Sunday in NYC. Yesterday, the candy brand released a behind-the-scenes music video capturing the cast of the musical performing a tune from the show called "Advertising Ruins Everything" with lyrics referring to ads including,"it ruins the web and it ruins TV…and there's nothing we hate more than each time we pay for targeted ads served up on Instagram". It's quite the satirical view of advertising on the big game.
Kia has relied on star power – Aerosmith's Steven Tyler in last year's ad, Melissa McCarthy in 2017, Christopher Walken in 2016, Pierce Brosnan in 2015, and Laurence Fishburne as his Matrix character Morpeheus in 2014. No more padding the pockets of celebs. This year, Kia is launching "The Great Unknowns Scholarship" to help young people in need of access to higher education. Kia is betting that this approach will resonate with its target audience.
After taking a time out and skipping last year's game, Audi will air a 60 second spot in the 2nd quarter. The ad features its e-tron battery-powered SUV model and what the luxury brand calls its "electric future". Audi needs to reach the game's mass audience, since 2018 was the first year in almost a decade that the brand experienced declining sales.
Beer brand "Natty Light" will pay $351, the average monthly student loan payment, to 151 fans, to help them offset their monthly student debt and free up funds for a Super Bowl party. Natty Light is attempting to connect with their audience via an issue that's top of mind to them.
The largest Super Bowl advertiser of all time, Anheuser-Busch, is shelling out more than Tom Brady is making this year for ads for seven beer brands and Bon + Viv Spiked Seltzer.The message is clear: the beverage behemoth believes this single event is vital to supporting its brands.Fact #7: Bumble swings for the fences with Serena.
Dating app Bumble, where women make the first move, marks its first Super Bowl appearance with the "In her court" campaign, which was developed and produced by women. The ad features Serena Williams in all of her roles from professional tennis player, to entrepreneur, to wife and mother.
Bumble is one of many ads this year with a woman as the hero. Also watch for Proctor & Gamble's Olay brand featuring Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Mars' M&M's with Christina Applegate.

Wells goal helps QPR progress past Portsmouth

Emirates FA Cup fourth round replay: Queens Park Rangers 2 (Wells 70, Smith 77) Portsmouth 0
Queens Park Rangers safely reached round five of the FA Cup for the first time in 22 years with a 2-0 win at home to Sky Bet League One side Portsmouth in a fourth-round replay.
In a first half of few chances, the Rs came closest to opening the scoring when Darnell Furlong headed against the bar from a corner.
Things were different after the break, though, as the west Londoners turned their possession into goals, with Nahki Wells and Matt Smith both on target.
QPR boss Steve McClaren made three changes to his starting XI following a 2-1 defeat at Wigan Athletic in the Sky Bet Championship on Saturday.
Grant Hall was handed just a fourth start of the season at centre-back, while Saturday's scorer Bright Osayi-Samuel and Smith also came into the side.
The trio came in respectively for Toni Leistner, Pawel Wszolek and Ebere Eze, all of whom dropped to the bench.
Smith went close to marking his return to the starting XI with a goal in just the sixth minute, but headed wide when Furlong floated in a cross from the right.
Eight minutes later, a corner eventually found its way to Massimo Luongo just inside the area, but the Australia international fired over on the half-volley with his weaker left foot.
With 10 minutes left in the half, the Rs came within inches of taking the lead when Furlong headed a Luke Freeman corner from the right against the bar.
That was the last sight of goal for either side before the break as the teams headed down the tunnel with the match goalless.
Luongo went close again for the Loftus Road club in the 55th minute, but was unable to get a header from a Freeman free-kick on target.
The breakthrough mercifully came 20 minutes from time, though it wasn't the most beautiful goal the Rs have ever scored.
A corner from the left by Freeman led to confusion in the Pompey, with Wells ultimately pouncing on the line to scramble to ball home and break the deadlock.
QPR did not have to wait long for their second, with Smith heading home a Freeman free-kick in the 77th minute to double the hosts' advantage.
That goal seemed to end the match as a contest, with the Rs content to safely see their way into round five and set up a home tie against Watford on February 15.
Before that, though, McClaren's men play host to Birmingham City in the league on Saturday.
QPR (4-4-2): Lumley; Furlong, Hall, Lynch, Bidwell; Freeman, Scowen, Luongo, Osayi-Samuel (Eze 71); Wells (Manning 82), Smith (Hemed 90).
Subs: Ingram (GK), Wszolek, Kakay, Leistner.
Portsmouth (4-2-3-1): MacGillivray; Walkes, Burgess, Clarke, Brown; Naylor, May (Morris 59); Lowe, Close (Pitman 74), Dennis (Evans 60); Hawkins.
Subs: Bass (GK), Thompson, Haunstrup.
Referee: David Coote.
Attendance: 13,115.

This poem is about a town in Texas that is beautiful this time of the year. I lived there for about 12 years as a kid growing up. If you get a chance to travel near Austin or Houston, set aside some time to visit this neat town for a while.
Check out the flowers,
The creamery,
The town of Brenham,
And the scenery.
Come to the Maifest;
The sight will unfold
As it warms the soul
From the winter's cold.
Go by Blinn college
Main building landmark.
Watch the Buccaneers
Or Cubs at Fireman's park.
The place called Texas
Baseball capital
Where the Brenham team
Is unflappable.
Many fun things to do
So bring a suitcase
And have a cold one
At the barbecue place.

*This gluten free dining experience took place in November 2018. It includes notes about dairy free options and modifications.
Dinner at Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant
Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant, located in Hollywood Studios, is one of those quirky and unique restaurants at Disney World that I absolutely love. There's just something so fun and nostalgic about this retro theme and unique dining room. Plus, over the years, we've found the gluten free and dairy free options to be really good. On this recent visit, Brandon and I decided to go to Sci-Fi Dine-In for dinner last minute so that we could enjoy the holiday decorations and shows at the park. We did not have a reservation, so we were very lucky that we were able to do a walk-up for dinner that evening.
Sci-Fi Dine-In is inspired by classic 1950s drive-in theaters. That means inside the restaurant, you'll find a giant movie screen that shows retro sci-fi movie clips and commercials along with a set that looks like an actual drive-in.

Product Description
This Spray Paint has been Custom Mixed to Match the Big Loo Green Perfectly!
Repair or renew the look of your Big Loo with this factory matching green spray paint. Ideal if you have patched a crack and filled with putty or other plastic filler. We have included some recent photos of repairing a Big Loo that was completely apart and we glued back together. We applied plastic filler and sprayed several coats which blended perfectly. As you can see, you can't tell where the applied color starts or ends. These are raw photos which gives you an excellent idea of the paint's matching capabilities.
This paint is also great for matching broken crank handles with after market reproductions that the green shade is clearly non-matching. And the only solution if your Robot was commando colored with paint by a 10 year old in 1963. Lastly, if your Robot was so exposed to sun that even acrylic oxidizers will not bring back the shine and the correct green shade – this spray paint will make him looked like the day he was born at the factory.
To repair the main body of a Big Loo today, requires us to apply spray paint and match the factory injected color. The color is unique onto itself and not found in commercially available colors. Not only is the shade usual but it also has a somewhat of a metallic finish. In the past, we attempted to match the shade with over the counter sprays that at first, looked like it would be very close. We were always extremely disappointed that all the paint matching attempts dried far from a factory look. In fact, not even close.
We eventually contracted a custom paint company to custom mix the much sought after Big Loo Green. The color was not "scanned" but they did use a spectrograph and other paint professional matching techniques to arrive at the factory color. This custom color request was very expensive and is not representative of what you would pay for economical available spray paint. We used this paint to repair a project Big Loo and ordered extra paint to share with like minded enthusiasts with hopes of recouping some of our custom costs. When this paint is gone, there is no more.
If you only have a small area to repair, this paint should blend in perfectly. Not only is the shade correct but it contains just a hint of a metallic finish, just like the factory Big Loo in 1963.
In rare instances, a Big Loo could of of been exposed so much sun and warm temperatures that the injected color is faded to a extreme level. In that case, you could respray the entire torso to return him to the factory shade. Be aware that the original green color of the 1963 Marx Big Loo was pre-mixed into the liquid styrene plastic in bulk and then injected into molds to form the main body. The maroon legs got their color from pre-mixing the maroon into the styrene as well. However, the gold sections of the robot were painted over either the injected green or maroon parts. In the photos below, you can see a seam filled with poaching material and then a shot of one coat of paint, then the final coat which blends perfectly!

Liz Carr stabbing – Dramatic moment cops swoop on man after Silent Witness star was attacked with scissors outside Euston Station
The man lunged at wheelchair user Liz, 45, in a London street as her carer attempted to defend the actress.
THIS is the moment cops swooped on the suspected scissor-wielding attacker of Silent Witness TV star Liz Carr.
While holding a pair of scissors in each hand, the man allegedly lunged at wheelchair user Liz, 45, in London as her carer attempted to defend the actress.
Footage has now emerged showing the man, in his 20s, being arrested.
The dramatic video shows three police officers apprehending a man on Euston Street in central London, with the suspect pushed up against the side of the building.
Onlookers can be seen stopping and watching the arrest as police officers carry out their job, with a pair of scissors visible on the floor.
Liz, who plays scientist Clarissa Mullery, is now said to be recovering from a slash wound.
A friend said: "It was a terrifying experience for Liz.
"He followed them and began lashing out and stabbed Liz in the head.
"There was blood everywhere but she was very lucky that the wound grazed her head and she was not more seriously injured.
"She was being pushed in her wheelchair when this young man armed with two pairs of scissors suddenly headed towards her.
"Typically, Liz is putting a brave face on it — joking that it was like being attacked by Edward Scissorhands.
"She has no idea who he was and has never seen him before."
Both Liz and her carer, who broke a finger and suffered minor cuts, went to hospital.
Liz was attacked in London's busy Euston Road near Euston Station just before 8.30pm on Thursday.
Both women screamed for help as the man headed for them brandishing the scissors. A suspect in his 20s was arrested on suspicion of GBH.
A police doctor ruled he was unfit to be interviewed and he has since been sectioned under the Mental Health Act.
Liz, also a comic and disabled rights activist, is being comforted at home by female partner Jo.
They wed in 2010 in a civil ceremony described by Liz as a "Wheelie Special Wedding".
Liz has a rare genetic joint condition and has been in a wheelchair since the age of seven.
She declined to comment on the attack yesterday.
The Metropolitan Police said: "Police were called to a report of man attacking two women with scissors.
Officers and the London Ambulance Service attended.
"The two women were taken to hospital suffering minor cuts and subsequently discharged."

Just as well as today I am taking part in a organized blog hop. All the projects are using the three new colours recently released by Stampin'Up, and I am sure you will have a fabulous time visiting all the blogs and seeing the fabby inspiration my fellow demonstrators have lined up.
If you joined my blog from the ever so lovely Debbie welcome. I love Debbie's gorgeous projects and I am planning in pinching her idea and make one of those card holders, so cute.
My offering today is all to do with stamping but not as we know it. I took it to a whole new level and created a very wearable piece of jewellery.
I love using my stamps for so much more than just cards and scrap pages, and I have been wearing this pendant a lot lately, everyone comments on it.
Take a peek, enjoy, then come back and tell me what you think
Doesn't it look so easy to make? It is really easy and very effective. I need to thank my lovely friend Tracey for the idea, it was three years ago at a Centre Parcs Retreat that she showed us how to make those. I have changed the process a bit (Tracey uses tissue paper to stamp on and no embossing) but the main idea is still the same.
I have 3 of those pendants to give away to three lucky bloggers, all you have to do is leave me a comment, I will pick the winners on Tuesday by random generator.
Now please hop over to the very talented Joanne to see what she has in store for you today. FABULOUS is the word I am looking for to describe her work, she is so talented. Really loved her projects.
Thank you for popping by till next time Hugs xxx

The Roles and Styles of Leadership in Arts Organizations
(Excerpt from Dr. Adizes' new book: "Managing Performing Arts Organizations", Due 2007)
The role of the Manager for the Arts (MfA) together with the artistic director is to fulfill a social-entrepreneurial role within the arts community much as businessmen provide an economic-entrepreneurial role within the commercial sector.
The French social critic and novelist André Malraux expressed his grave concern about our postindustrial society in many of his writings. He believed that art represents a kind of protection for humanity by providing a raison d'être for those who feel threatened in the age of automation—the sort of protection religion gives to other civilizations. When Malraux was France's minister for cultural affairs, he manifested his deep concern by recruiting and employing professional people in various communities for the purpose of providing the populace with new kinds of cultural experiences. He referred to his recruits as cultural animators. Their job was to create enthusiasm for more encompassing and more fulfilling leisure activities aimed at self-realization.
Malraux's aim was to provide protection from dehumanization, not according to outmoded 19 th-century tradition, but with arts leadership that examines, modifies, and adapts methods, procedures, and techniques that have been successful in business and other human enterprises. His second recommendation called for disseminating this information throughout the arts world as widely as was useful. The sort of leadership that Malraux provided is what arts organizations need to make them viable in a society dominated by automation, alienation, disintegration, commercialization, and electronic communication. Malraux's vision suggests, perhaps, a new kind of clergy—a clergy of the arts, which would counterbalance secular forces.
At the present time, arts organizations lack the time, money and, often, the knowledge to approach the problems that plague them. Artists, by the nature of their calling, neither know nor care about the practical and financial aspects of their work. If they care too much, they can become paralyzed by inner conflict, unable to proceed artistically. Thus, artists need a "partner" who worries about the administrative, managerial, and financial aspects of the creative process. This supportive role calls for managers for the arts, or MfA's, not managers of the arts or managers of performing arts organizations.
I would like to focus on the managerial processes of those who lead arts organizations, recommend and execute the policies of the governing board, and help set current policies and define the future societal goals of the organization.
The organizations I am focusing on are performing arts organizations that have the following characteristics: activities that require preparation and resources; activities that require scheduling and staffing; programs that must be sold to the community—not only to those who attend, but also to those who fund the enterprise. These actions are justified by a desire to provide artists with the audience they need and merit, rather than to provide the audience with the production or the artist they demand, whoever or whatever that may be.
Stated bluntly, the MfA would be able to enrich the quality of life within a given community. The MfA should be someone who comes from a fine-arts background, has had adequate training in basic management and community organization, and has the entrepreneurial ability to put artists and audiences together for the greatest possible mutual benefit.
Such a person should be someone who is aware that some of life's most valuable possessions are intangible and truly known only when they are absent. Health, for example, is taken for granted until illness arrives; and loneliness showcases the value of love; tyranny reveals the value of democracy; ignorance highlights the true cost of education; and we most cherish art when there are no artists to provide insight into the ancient verities—the importance of all of the above.
Such a person needs a specific "turn of mind" in order to execute the requirements of the job—a deep-seated value system that dictates unconditional loyalty to the art form and the artist. He or she is committed not to the arts center where art takes place nor to the current audience nor to the proverbial bottom line. All effort is directed toward maximizing the creative and performing artists' impact on the community in which they work.
Training for leaders of arts institutions must include an essential ingredient: preparation for management for the future, a skill well developed by business and social science. It is now past time to bring that knowledge and those skills to the arts. To achieve expertise on a par with that of leaders in other disciplines, we need to study politics, social planning, community organization, behavioral planning, and management theory, all as they relate to the arts.
Using that new knowledge, might the manager's expertise overlap the role of the artistic director? In today's struggle, the manager's daily and perpetual role focuses almost entirely on keeping the organization one notch above extinction. The manager has no time, energy, or subtle skills for influencing cultural policy and future planning. Is this as it should be? Of course not. The manager and artistic director should be a team working in tandem. Julius Rudel, when he ran the New York City Opera, described the two positions as the two "wings of the same Austro-Hungarian eagle". If the wings of the eagle must be viewed separately, the artistic director should be concerned with the next creative work stirring in his mind. Although he or she may have concerns about the long-term future, the artistic director is responsible for what the audience experiences on stage—the immediate priority. But the artistic director, or creative artist, should possess also a vision of the art down the road, thinking about ways to develop a higher level of art that brings the audience to a broader appreciation. The artistic director has to plan ways to develop the art form by providing the artists with new challenges and synchronizing those challenges with the capacity of the audience to absorb them. By contrast, the role of the MfA is to provide a financial, organizational, and politically supportive environment where such development can flourish.
Sometimes the manager and the society may lack even the vaguest understanding of the kind of support that is needed. In essence, we are talking about the role of the arts in a future society: How do we measure the effectiveness of the arts? What is the total need for culture in a given community? These are the questions we face daily, but we never address them on a long-term basis. We tread water and barely avoid drowning, or we swim in circles. In truth, we could spend years and years trying to learn how to respond to these important questions. But if the intangible and challenging questions are somewhere ahead of our current knowledge and research, there still remains much to be advanced in the profession of arts management. Today's MfA needs to be expert in finance, personnel, public relations, labor relations, legal matters, and art appreciation, as well as the subtler managerial skills. While it is impossible to provide a comprehensive presentation of the knowledge required by a manager for the arts, my intention is to provide a direction, or a frame of mind, within which the detailed knowledge can be learned. No profession gives its practitioners all the answers. Education can only introduce the practicing professional to an awareness of the general questions and provide the skills for developing answers.

He was made a National Teaching Fellow in 2010 in recognition of his excellence in teaching and public engagement and was a finalist in the 2009 Times Higher Education Innovative Teacher of the year award."
On 27 and 28 April we are running two workshops at CHI2013 (the annual ACM SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems).
HCI Fieldwork in Healthcare – Creating a Guidebook
"Performing fieldwork in healthcare settings is significantly different to other domains and it presents unique challenges to researchers. There are issues in terms of negotiating ethics, gaining access and knowing where to study; there are challenges in being an outsider in private places that are emotionally charged, with potential for patient nudity and invasive procedures; there are challenges for high-risk innovation and measuring research impact. Whilst results are reported in research papers, the details of how to actually perform these fieldwork studies are not.
This workshop will bring together a diverse selection of research and researchers who do fieldwork in clinical and non- clinical settings: e.g. hospital, homecare and with mobile technology. It will focus on producing a graduate guidebook for HCI fieldwork in healthcare (published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers). Case studies that are submitted by participants will form one volume of the book. Participants will be expected to co-author thematic chapters that crosscut these case studies to draw out issues and lessons learnt for the second volume of the book."

"Medical devices embedded with computer systems have become widely adopted in many healthcare situations, with the intention of delivering accurate and effective medication. However, designing and evaluating high-risk interactive medical devices has always been a challenge, for both academia and industry. This is particularly the case when it comes to managing the risk of human error.
This one-day workshop will bring together international researchers, manufacturers and designers working in this field. There will be discussion and demonstration of the practical approaches that can be adopted to improve the design of medical devices, to provide for safer interactions in the future."

Constructing billboards and other advertisements has not been permitted to the private sector since 2012. There is no new directive issued by the Addis Abeba City Administration yet. But, from February to June 2017, the construction of billboards permitted for five months owing to a letter from the Mayor's office, paved way for billboard advertisers to erect more billboards than ever throughout the city's main routes, reports BERHANE HAILEMARIAM, FORTUNE STAFF WRITER.
Esayas Gashaw, 34, owner of Esayas Advertising, located between Urael and Bambis Supermarket on Haile Gebre Selassie Avenue, started to struggle with life since he was nine – a time when he started to work as a bread distributor and newspaper vendor. He recognised his talent while scribbling sketches and painting at school.
With an initial capital of 53 Br, he started his work by purchasing five basic painting items, an art brush, and a second-hand steel table. After waiting for three months, he received his first printing order from a hotel owner for 200 Br. This is how Esayas joined the advertising market 12 years ago. Since then, he has developed his confidence and managed to raise a number of clients.
It was not long until he realised that he was doing things the difficult way.
"I developed my knowledge by imitating adverts posted in different locations and finally, I shifted my attention to billboard advertising," he told Fortune. Currently, he is one of the known billboard advertisers in the capital, with workshops and importer of raw materials for the signage business. His capital has reached close to 20 million Br, making it one of the highest capitalised businesses engaged in billboard advertising as well as printing.
Dozens have followed the paths of Esayas. Recently, he and many other similar companies managed to get spaces to erect billboards throughout the city.
"Unlike other advertising platforms, the billboard business is growing in the past decade," he told Fortune. "The recent flooding of billboards across the city's main routes indicates the business is growing surprisingly."
The business of ADs began a century ago in Ethiopia after the establishment of the first newspaper, Ayimiro and continued in the 1950's with the state's daily newspaper Addis Zemen. Since then, it has passed through many ups and downs during different political regimes.
The Dergue regime, where everything was state owned, incapacitated the advertisement industry at its infant stage, forcing it to be limited to the state owned companies such as Ethiopian Airlines, Banks and Insurance Companies.
The business grew in line with the development of the technology attracting the younger generation like Markos Abebe, who founded an advertisement workshop at his residence with a capital of 15,000 Br in 1997.
After the National Lottery came into the scene, the advertisement business showed improvements. This was depicted by Anbessa Advertisement, which was established in the early 1990's by Woubshet Workalemahu, a renowned promotion and advertising icon.
The business grew in line with the development of the technology attracting the younger generation like Markos Abebe, who founded an advertisement workshop at his residence with a capital of 15,000 Br in 1997. Mark Advert, one of the advertising companies established soon after the introduction of a mixed economy, now has a capital of over 80 million Br and owns a six-storey apartment building. He runs a big business with 46 employees.
He entered into the business due to his passion for painting and graphic designing. "I started working in my family's home for five years," he told Fortune, "I used to work manually by writing advertisements with a brush." He did not continue operating in such a manner for long. He started to introduce himself to new technologies abroad and started making billboards.
In designing the structure of an advertisement, he looks at the size, selects the proper place for building, considers the wind direction and inspects the quality of the printing material and structure.
"The billboard work is a little complex," he said," It requires some knowledge of engineering and technology."
Currently, his agency is specialised in fuel station signs, reflective traffic signs, label and digital printing, t-shirt and cap printing, billboard manufacturing and wall branding. He is managing 38 billboards all over the country. One of the clients of Mark Advert is Multi Choice Ethiopia, a partner of DSTV, which uses Mark's billboards in three places; Kassanchis, Sar Bet around Karl Square and Bole and Ethio – China Friendship square.
"Billboards have an advantage of being seen from a distance," said Abenezer Feleke, marketing manager of Multi Choice Ethiopia. "It is especially visible to automobiles than pedestrians. It stays in people's mind for a long time."
Hence, Multi Choice uses billboards for the sake of creating brand awareness in the people and to introduce new products to their customers, according to him.
"This is not fair," he said. "The City's Administration should have announced the privilege in various media outlets.
"The duration of the advertisement depends on the budget we have," he said. "But, mostly we rent for six months to one year period." As of now, they have billboards at seven spots in the city. It is estimated to cost the company over two million Birr a year.
Billboards became a type of advertising method in the mid-1860's in the western parts of the world. After a century and a half, it is still a popular and an effective form of outdoor advertising. "It is cheap unlike other advertising platforms," said Esayas, who charges between 22,500 Br and 25,000 Br per month depending on the size of the billboard.
In Ethiopia, there is no clear legal framework to regulate such lines of businesses, leaving an uncertain picture for the advertisers and advertising bodies. Esayas and Markos got a license in the early 2000's when the responsibility was at the hand of the then Land Administration & Construction Licensing Authority, now restructured as Land Management and Construction Permit and Control Office.
The business was even banned for the private sector in 2012. Only governmental and other non-profit organisations were allowed to advertise social, health and other issues related to awareness creation, after gaining permission from the Mayor's office.
"The office did not give any permission for billboard requests since 2012," said Ethiopia Taimyalew, acting director for Arada District Construction Permit & Control Office. "We only renew their licences every year."
But, on February 6, 2017, unexpectedly, the office received a letter from the Mayor's office, ordering to give permissions for advertisers who want to build billboards, citing the surge in illegal dealers in the capital. Following the letter, the district, along with Lideta, Arada and Qirqos districts, granted permissions to the advertisers provided they suggest places to construct their billboards. Then, the district office issued permits to 29 advertising companies after inspecting the selected areas.
Using this privilege, Markos secured 12 places to erect billboards in three of the districts, where he had already constructed the structure and was ready to post adverts, with a cost of 300,000 Br. On the contrary, Esayas was not aware of these privileges as he could not get any place at that time.
"This is not fair," he said. "The City's Administration should have announced the privilege in various media outlets. "This makes the system open for corruption."
Nevertheless, Esayas managed to rent 15 billboards from others who succeeded to secure spaces at a cost of 400,000 Br.
"I did not want to decline the requests of my clients," said Esayas. Furthermore, he believes that the time span given to suggest places is not enough as research and selection of spaces cannot be done in just five months.
Despite getting 16 billboards, Yelibe Derese, manager of Arc Advertising, agrees with Esayas.
"I heard about the announcement while I was visiting the district for other purpose," said the manager of the company whose capital has reached 12 million Br. "Had I not been visited the district, I could have lost it as there was no proper announcement made by the City's Administration."
Two months ago, the right to build billboards was banned by the city's administration, once again owing to the lack of legal frameworks in the country. The Administration has promised a new directive that would be effective to administer the business, which is expected to pave the way for the opening of the market to the private sector. Until then, more than 1,000 advertising businesses including Esayas' and Markos' have no right to set any billboard in the city.

BazNZ: kiwipearls I think I'm about to join you. Tell me more. How is your latency when gaming since the switch?
Our latecny with Orcon was at the point the game was virtually unplayable - between 13th may - 4th July. Our latency bar was almost always in the red off peak low was around 180-200ms - but during peak when my hubby and I played together it was through the roof going as high as 17363ms. It improved slightly after their purchasing of more international bandwidth - but was still no where as perfect as Xtra.
Vodafone, also is no where as good as Xtra also...but far bettter than Orcon, if you look at my speedtests results. Our latency bar avgs 183ms-484ms (the highest I've seen during peak). Although our bar sometimes goes olive - the connection seems more stable.
This is playing WOW on private server located in Dallas, TX - with an avg of 4000+ players.
If we could afford the max/max 20GB account with Xtra we would go back to them, as our latecny bar was always green. But we just can't.
I also know the Red network with Vodafone will be in my exchange in October...so it can only improve right?..lol

Adult Tonsillectomy: Are You a Candidate?
Tonsils are masses of tissue on either side of your throat the help fight infections. While they are a part of your immune system, you don't need them to live a normal, healthy life. With many people, tonsils can become infected, resulting in tonsillitis which can be very painful. This is where a tonsillectomy may be of benefit.
Tonsillectomies are performed on more than half a million children in the U.S. each year, the second most common surgery for children next to ear tubes. But, as an adult, if you're experiencing certain signs and symptoms, you may also benefit from this procedure. So how do you know if having a tonsillectomy is something you should discuss with your doctor?
Because sore throats are common, you may not recognize that it may be something more serious. If your sore throat is accompanies by any of the following symptoms, however, it may be time to call your doctor. Look for these signs and symptoms:
- Red and swollen tonsils, sometimes accompanied by a white or yellow coating
- Severe or recurring sore throat or strep infections
- Fever
- Pain and difficulty swallowing
- Enlarged or swollen lymph nodes in the neck
- Snoring and obstructive sleep apnea
- Swollen tonsils that make it hard to breathe, particularly during sleep
- Difficulty eating meat or chewy foods
Tonsillitis can often be treated with antibiotics, but in some instances tonsillitis is chronic, meaning you've developed five or more infections over a year's time. When chronic tonsillitis is diagnosed, a tonsillectomy is recommended as the best form of treatment.
What to Expect
The entire tonsillectomy procedure typically takes about an hour. Under general anesthesia, your doctor will remove the tonsils through your mouth, so there are no incisions to the skin. You will wake up in a recovery area where you will spend several hours at the hospital (sometimes overnight.) The recovery time after a tonsillectomy is generally about a week or more. There will be some pain and discomfort which will subside over time. Eating cold foods like popsicles and taking over-the-counter pain relievers after the procedure can help soothe your throat discomfort. You will be advised to take it easy as you recover to prevent unnecessary bleeding and possibly a repeat visit to the operating room.
Do you think you may be a candidate for a tonsillectomy? Contact us for a consultation. We look forward to hearing from you!

Client Love
Reiki Sessions
"I was a hair colorist for about 50 years. If you could imagine the stress that my body went through. I have suffered from back spasms most of those years. I've tried everything; you name it, I did it. These spasms would last for 3 weeks. Then I met Kat and she told me she was a Reiki Master. When I felt another spasm coming on, I decided to give Kat a try. After my session, I went to sleep and woke up pain free! Kat is a true healer. I could feel the heat from her hands and an energy sensation through my body. The sessions with Kat are wonderful relaxing hours. I think seeing Kat is good for anyone who needs a wellness session."
JoAnn F.
"I have had a couple sessions with Kat so far. Kat has a gift as a true healer. During my sessions, I could feel sensations of energy in certain areas of my body. I felt deep relaxation. I've had a huge release which has helped me move forward with more clarity. I have had Reiki before but have never experienced this level of progress and healing."
Laura U.
"This was my first time Reiki session and I didn't know what to expect. But my session with Kat was a really great experience. Deep relaxation for an hour. After this session, I had a lot of extra energy and felt very relaxed at the same time."
Martine V.
"My first session with Kat was days before a major surgery and the second a few days afterwards. I'm convinced Reiki sped up my healing process drastically. I've been able not only to heal physically, but mentally and spiritually. Kat is a true healer and I love working with her."
Sue P.
"What a wonderful/ mind blowing experience! I had no expectation as I'm new to reiki, but I left feeling the most calm and confident that I've felt in a really long time. I had discussed my need to find clarity with Kat and that is exactly what she delivered. Within a few days of my first session, my husband and I decided to sell our home and move our family across the country! We had been struggling to make this decision for a decade and I feel completely confident that reiki / Kat helped me to see this path with total clarity."
April C.
"Facing the possibility of surgery for arthritis, I sought alternatives to address the pain and possibly postponing or not having the surgery. I not only found my pain somewhat relieved, but I experienced mental clarity on 2 issues in my life and an emotional peace. Two visions occurred, and I am exploring their meaning. Quite honestly, I do not understand exactly how Reiki "works", but it doesn't really matter. Kat was a consummate professional who patiently explained what Reiki is and is not. She is a gentle soul and I look forward to more Reiki experiences. I highly recommend her."
Jill K.
"August 8, I had my first session with Kat Sullivan. She starts with a guided meditation. Her voice is so soothing that it takes you down quickly. Once she started working with her hands, I began to feel a pulsating sensation in my head, shoulders, chest and arms. It felt like I'd been "activated". I know that sounds weird to say, but that was what came to mind. As her work continued, I noticed I was "in" and "out" which was so special. Having the "out of body" experience is where I believe one finds total relief from stress and daily living. It is like "conscious unconsciousness" - "there but not there". It's a vacation on the table. You will leave feeling fresh, relaxed and renewed. I highly recommend Kat's sessions at Reiki Groove and hope that you will make your appointment ASAP and often. I'll be a regular client!!!"
Brea G.
"I had been feeling the heaviness of a few things and chronic wrist pain and since my treatment have been feeling like a new person! I feel like my heart has opened and my creative juices flowing are flowing, my wrist pain has lessened and my yoga practice has been stronger. Kat has such a calming presence and the treatment was truly a magical experience!"
Emily R.
"Kat is an amazing Reiki master. The session I had from her was exactly what I needed. I haven't been this relaxed in a long time. Thank you Kat, and I will be back for another session."
Erin M.
"I had an incredible first time reiki experience at Reiki Groove! Kat Sullivan has an absolute gift and the training to back it up. It was all that I could have ever expected and then some! The space was comforting and the essential oils and music made my session the best imaginable. This woman shares her talent for all of the right reasons - simply put, to heal. With amazing intuition, Kat tuned in to every part of me that needed help. She spent plenty of time and I felt so well taken care of, I will certainly go back. Kat is a very special person indeed and I feel lucky to have found her."
Susie C.
"My experience with Kat and Reiki Groove was nothing short of incredible. It was my first time as a Reiki client and I was in such good hands with Kat. She is informative, comforting, and gentle. Her work is noticeable immediately and I would highly recommend her to anyone, especially women, seeking a new experience in energy work. Thank you to Kat and Reiki Groove!"
Cat C.
Up Groove Visioning Workshops
"I found the vision board workshop to be a nurturing and thought provoking experience overall. Kat lead us on an inner guided journey to reflect and find clarity about what we wanted to create with our business, before the actual vision board creation process began (which I greatly appreciated). I would highly recommend this workshop to my colleagues."
Claudia D.
"I found the vision board workshop to be a nurturing and thought provoking experience overall. Kat lead us on an inner guided journey to reflect and find clarity about what we wanted to create with our business, before the actual vision board creation process began (which I greatly appreciated).

Kelly F.
"I enjoyed the visioning workshop with Kat Sullivan very much. It was wonderful to meet other people and hear their ideas and feel there positive energy. The whole workshop was conducted in a very empowering manner. I would recommend it to anyone who is wanting to expand their horizons with a new business or improving a current business."

Vatican Museums and Garden with a stroller
Hi Eyes of Rome! I have a 5 years old boy and I am afraid it can be tiring for him to tour 3 or more hours. We booked a Vatican Museums Tour plus a 2 hour access to the Vatican Gardens. Can we bring our stroller? Is the Vatican Garden mostly flat ground and easy to push a stroller around?
1 comment
Dear Julie, we understand your concerns!
You're allowed to use strollers in the Vatican Museums: the regular itinerary has stairs, you can use the elevator at the beginning of the path while you will have to lift your stroller up the stairs in the galleries areas. Please be aware that strollers are not allowed into the Basilica: there is a designated storage area for this right outside the entrance.
In regard to the Vatican Gardens, the main path is paved and easy to walk pushing a stroller. You will find a little hill leading to the top of the gardens, where the Vatican Radio Tower is. Gardens are doable with a stroller.

More rubber tracked
machines could soon be seen
on UK farms following the
introduction of a new range
of tracked carriers being sold
through Lincs machinery
dealer Robert Crawford.
Geoff Ashcroft reports
ROBERT Crawford has a long association with crawlers and other tracked equipment, and his latest venture continues that tradition.
Having sold about eight new Morooka rubber tracked crawlers in the last two years on behalf of UK importer Yuasa Warwick Machinery, the Frithville, Boston-based dealer has now extended his portfolio with Morookas latest rubber tracked carriers.
Although the range has been developed with construction and industrial applications in mind, Mr Crawford can see the carriers meeting the needs of many growers and contractors who find themselves operating in less than favourable field conditions.
"The low ground pressure and light operating weight of these tracked carriers could prove a useful addition to many beet and vegetable operations," he says. "In soft going, growers need to preserve the soil structure as best they can, and these rubber tracked carriers could hold the key to getting many crops off wet, soft fields."
The six-model Morooka Trax Carrier range extends from the 2.5 tonne capacity 46hp model 300, up to the 15t capacity model 3300 powered by a 400hp Cummins engine.
Unlike traditional crawler steering systems, the hydrostatic steering used by the Trax Carriers allows both tracks to slip which keeps rubber track wear to a minimum and also limits ground damage more commonly associated with conventional braked steering systems used on some crawlers.
Transmissions are hydrostatic, with low and high ranges offering speeds of up to 8kph and 12kph respectively.
"Theyre not fast, but they do tread very lightly," says Mr Crawford. Seen as an alternative to tractor and trailer combinations, the Morooka Trax Carrier range exhibits low ground pressure – with its 15t payload, the range-topping 3300 tips the scales at 34t when laden, exerting a ground pressure of 5.9psi. The smaller 6.3t capacity 1500 has a laden ground pressure of less than 4psi.
In standard guise, the Trax Carriers come with shallow sided tipping bodies, but Mr Crawford reckons modified bodies with high sides and high tip capability, and even a demount system, could extend the versatility of the Japan-built machines.
"We can adapt the carriers to provide demountable bodies so growers can use the machines for spraying and spreading," says Mr Crawford. "By extending the sides of the bodies, bulk loads can be hauled away from a harvester, making full use of the Trax Carriers low ground pressure."
However, such flotation characteristics do not come cheaply. The range is priced from £28,000 for the 2.5t capacity 300, rising to £140,000 for the 400hp 3300. *
This version is perhaps more at home on a construction site, but with careful adaptation, can be put to use hauling crops away from harvesting equipment in soft, wet conditions. Models with capacities of up to 15t are available.
Lincs machinery dealer Robert Crawford sees Morookas low ground pressure rubber tracked carriers as a useful alternative to heavy tractor/trailer combinations, particularly in poor conditions.

Aidan O'Brien winning the Oaks is not ground-breaking news but the now five-time winning trainer of the first Epsom Classic winning the race with a 50/1 shot is hard to imagine.
Going into today's Epsom Derby, for which O'Brien has failed to establish a real obvious candidate, the master of Ballydoyle proved that none of his three-runners can be ruled out as yesterdays outsider rallied late under a strong Colm O'Donoghue to deny the Coolmore owned and well backed favourite Legatissimo for David Wachman.
Bred by the trainer and his wife Ann-Marie, Qualify was thought highly enough of to run at the Breeders Cup meeting as a juvenile but was beaten over 40-lengths by Legatissimo in the 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket and was 10th, beaten six-and-a-half lengths in the Irish equivalent behind Pleascach.
A clearly joyous Aidan O'Brien said afterwards; "She was always very classy and won her Group Three very easily at the Curragh last year and the plan was to start in Newmarket, go to the Curragh and come here.
"It went a little bit wrong on us in Newmarket but Joseph looked after her and she went to the Curragh and ran a lovely race, she was buried in the field and nobody really spotted her or was talking about her but she ran a lovely race and we were delighted with her and she came forward really well from it."
O'Brien admitted; "We knew stepping up to a mile and a quarter she was going to step forward massively and we didn't know about a mile and a half and Colm gave her a masterful ride."
It was another r-letter success for jockey Colm O'Donoghue and he remarked afterwards; "The thing was just to get her to switch off because she shows us so much pace the thing was to get the trip but she saw it out really strong.
It was an Irish one-two with Legatissimo in second and O'Brien's Diamondsandrubies was fourth with Jack Naylor sixth.

www.cosmetify.com, an online comparison website for beauty shoppers, launches today. Featuring over 180,000 products from more than 1,500 of the world's leading beauty brands, it allows consumers to instantly find and compare the prices of all their favourite products under one roof.
Founded by e-commerce entrepreneur Matt Davies, who recently sold a majority stake in his global travel business Direct Ferries to a private equity firm, Cosmetify promises to revolutionise the buying process for savvy beauty shoppers.
Trailing behind other sectors, most beauty purchases still take place offline as customers like to try before they buy. However, the rise of social media, user generated content/reviews and influencer marketing has changed our purchasing habits. This has driven online sales at an accelerated rate – which Cosmetify aims to capitalise on.
Offering average cost savings of 34% off the RRP (and up to 95% off selected products), its price comparison functionality showcases some of the world's top premium beauty brands, including NARS, Charlotte Tilbury, The Ordinary and PIXI. Users can hunt down their favourite products on one platform, without having to open endless tabs to find what they want, easily finding out what's in stock at the best prices.
To satisfy an ever-increasing appetite to understand the impact cosmetic products have on our skin, the economy and the environment, Cosmetify also features a jargon busting beauty glossary of popular ingredients and buzzwords. This will give customers clear information on whether products are natural, vegan or eco-friendly or if their favourite brand have gone plastic-free. The site also includes a beauty blog full of trend-led stories, reviews, tutorials and expert advice.
Founder Davies comments: "In such a busy and crowded marketplace, we wanted to make it easy for buyers to find and procure their favourite products. With multiple retailers available, buyers get to see the lowest prices – and ultimately find the best deal. We also want the platform to offer transparent and impartial information, from delivery costs and product availability to what ingredients are used to make products. With a vast product range, from eyeshadow palettes and aftershave to shampoos and hair dryers, there's something for everyone."
Already partnered with 30 top retailers including Feel Unique, Look Fantastic and John Lewis, Cosmetify aims to offer a larger catalogue of products than any other online beauty destination. Information on availability is updated automatically and with so many partner retailers, it's unlikely that anything will ever be out of stock for long. But should this happen, the site allows users to create an account where they can set up alerts and be notified as soon as their favourite products come back in.
As it strives to make the online beauty shopping experience quicker and easier, future plans for the site include an app, personalised and curated shopping lists and an expert hub.

Wildlife Rehabilitator Tommy Young, of the Arkansas Native Plant and Wildlife Center, has received a six-week old baby otter and is in need of a sponsor to help care for the critter.
Young said the otter would require two years of care and training before he could be released back into the wild. Young said the otter appears to be in good health; however, since it is now orphaned, it has no parent to teach it how to fish, gather food, and survive. The otter eats crawdads, mussels, frogs, and fish and most of his food will be hand-caught by Young and his team of volunteers and placed into the otter's pool for him to learn to catch on his own. The pool will also help the otter to be an experienced swimmer. "They can be expensive to care for," said Young. "It will cost about $400 over the next two years and most don't cost quite that much."
This is the busiest time of year for the Center as many baby animals are found in the wild and believe to be abandoned by their parents. Young, however, said that many times, the parents have not abandoned the babies and are close by just waiting for the humans to leave. Young encourages people who find young animals to make sure the animals are truly abandoned before touching them or taking them from their natural habitat. "I have another otter that I've had for one year and he will be able to help teach this one, which will be a big help," explained Young. He continued, "Once the otter can catch a fish in the small pool, we'll move him to a bigger pool, and then clear freshwater, and then muddy freshwater. Once they can catch a fish in muddy water, they're usually good to go."
Young has the experience needed to teach and care for the otter, but will need a sponsor to assist with the process. If you would like to sponsor "Sinbad" as Young's granddaughter has named him, or would like to make any type of contribution, contact Young at 479-437-3750. The Center is currently housing 42 baby animals and 87 species of adult animals.

Inspired by insights from educators and administrators across the country, Bretford is introducing additions and upgrades to its family of mobile device charging products at ISTE 2018. This growing product suite – which includes active, passive and portable charging solutions – is designed to complement and empower schools' evolving technology strategies.
"Our ecosystem of charging solutions enables classrooms to solve the growing need to manage, power and store mobile devices," said Chris Petrick, Bretford's CEO. "We know that while each school is unique in how it deploys technology in the classroom, the challenge of keeping devices powered and ready for student use is universal. Our comprehensive line of charging solutions helps meet all of these needs and challenges."
First unveiled at ISTE 2017, Bretford's latest iteration of its TechGuard Connect® charging lockers offers expanded features including an integrated 5" touchscreen, with an easy-to-use interface, and RFID-powered check-in/check-out functionality. Check-In/Check-Out mode turns TechGuard Connect into a self-service kiosk, allowing users to check out available devices on a loaner-basis with existing RFID cards, use the mobile device for a set period of time, then check it back in, providing school districts with accountability and traceability of their managed devices.
"With the proliferation of technology in the classroom, there is a growing need for solutions that can alleviate the IT burden of managing and distributing mobile devices on a large scale," Petrick said. "TechGuard Connect's new Check-In/Check-Out functionality achieves this, keeping devices powered and ready to go, without the need for available staff to facilitate the loan."
TechGuard Connect lockers can be customized with schools' logos, and painted in one of 16 colors. TechGuard Connect, when paired with Bretford Connect, allows users to select from Check-In/Check-Out, Assigned Mode and Shared Mode. Assigned Mode allows administrators to assign a specific bay to a specific user, much like schools assign traditional lockers. Shared Mode allows devices to be conveniently charged in any available bay. After the device is charged and removed, the bay is available for the next user. TechGuard Connect lockers simplify technology deployments with the power of a smart, cloud-based management system, Bretford Connect. With Bretford Connect, administrators manage lockers and users, access a robust log of locker and device usage, and scale updates and usage to thousands of lockers, all from a centralized interface, accessible from anywhere.
Other new Bretford products on display at ISTE include:
To see the line of Bretford products in action, visit the Bretford Booth #1703 on the ISTE show floor or visit www.bretford.com for a virtual demo.

Because of its natural simplicity, the Fairy Rose is a sweet little accent for cottage gardens. Becaulsle it is also shade tolerant, it is a dream for my garden. Because it is disease-resistant, it should be a a first consideration for many gardens.
"For many, many months on end, this shrub churns out long canes nearly overwhelmed by their bounty of 1½-inch, bubblegum-pink blooms that offer a light apple fragrance! A single spray is a bouquet for which you'll need a rather large vase! Minimal pruning and deadheading can increase flowering. And the disease-resistant, glossy, dark green foliage stays lovely even when not adorned with blossoms. Ideal in the perennial border, in front of shrubs, erupting into color along the foundation, or the focal point of a patio garden, 'The Fairy' is an everblooming wonder!
"To create a solid hedge of color, we suggest you space plants 3 feet apart in the sunny garden. 'The Fairy' may begin blooming a week or two later than most roses, but oh, does it ever make up for lost time! This rose truly does have a magic all its own!" Jackson Perkins

There are days when I listen exclusively to Chip. Once I hear one of his tracks, I end up going through the best bits of his discoraphy. In 2018 I visited Rap Vs. Grime mixtape all the time, had that of been on Spotify, Sonic Boom might have been my most listened.
Taken from his 2018 opus Ten10, Chip's Good Morning Britain was my 33rd most listened to song of the year on Spotify.
