Don't Settle for the Next Best Thing to Being There: Globalize Your Advertising Curriculum with an International Trip A Paper for the Teaching Standards Competition Research in Brief Submitted By Suzette Heiman University of Missouri School of Journalism P.O. Box 838 Columbia, MO 65205 314-882-6771 Abstract Videos, guest speakers and case studies are all excellent ways to familiarize your students with how advertising is managed in other cultures, but they are no substitute for experiencing international advertising firsthand. This paper discusses an international advertising seminar offered by a large Midwestern university. Agencies and clients in three cities, New York, Amsterdam and London, were visited during the break between the fall and spring semesters. Don't Settle for the Next Best Thing to Being There: Globalize Your Advertising Curriculum with an International Trip Videos, guest speakers and case studies are all excellent ways to familiarize your students with how advertising is managed in other cultures, but they are no substitute for experiencing international advertising firsthand. Sponsoring an international advertising seminar can help your students not only identify the similarities and the differences of various campaigns and discuss their rationale with those who created them, but also help agencies become familiar with your program and the quality of your students. An added benefit is the opportunity to strengthen ties with alumni. International advertising is growing in importance. An article in the March 20, 1995 issue of Advertising Age International reports that worldwide advertising spending was up in 1994 and is expected to rise this year. The explosive growth of new free market economies in Eastern Europe, South Africa and Russia is fueling advertising growth in these areas, among others. Editorial content of this publication consistently discusses the problems and opportunities when United States brands are expanded into established and emerging international markets. The Journal of Advertising devoted the entire March 1994 issue to the subject of international advertising. The effects of the country's culture, language, laws and market conditions on advertising were among the issues studied by researchers. The general consensus was that global markets are not homogeneous and that advertising must be tailored to its intended audience. This breakdown can not only occur on a country-by-country basis, but also within different areas of the same country. Thus, it is of critical importance that today's advertising students understand issues related to international advertising. The likelihood of them working in an advertising agency or with a client seeking to build or to increase a global presence is high and a challenge they must be prepared to meet. This paper discusses an international advertising seminar offered by a large Midwestern university. Agencies and clients in three cities, New York, Amsterdam and London, were visited during the break between the fall and spring semesters. Planning The idea for the international advertising seminar originated with two alumni who were lunching in New York. They shared with each other how much they would like to help the students at their alma mater learn more about the advertising business, but how distance made it difficult to do this. One thought led to another and soon they found themselves outlining a trip. The overall goal would be to select multinational accounts and visit their advertising agencies on both sides of the Atlantic. Regardless of how the idea for an international seminar originates, the following steps provide an outline for planning an activity of this nature. Step One: Identify learning outcomes for an international advertising seminar. Knowing what you want to accomplish will help you evaluate the value of the many options you will have during your planning. Our learning outcomes were three-fold: y To gain a clearer understanding on the branding of products on a domestic and an international level by visiting advertising agencies, attending presentations and participating in seminars on the various brands that those agencies represented; y To identify strategic and tactical differences between advertising developed in New York and advertising developed in Amsterdam and London; and, y To highlight research opportunities for students interested in multinational advertising. Step Two: Generate a rough overview of the trip: dates, cities to visit, cost, accounts to review. Leave room for flexibility to allow yourself to take advantage of opportunities that will arise as you continue planning. Step Three: Enlist the support of your school's administration. Identify how this trip will help your department, school and university achieve its goals. Step Four: Determine the interest of students. You could use existing organizations such as the Ad Club to conduct a survey, or you could organize a meeting to poll them. While interest may be high, not all students will be able to afford the trip. But, don't underestimate the power of students to find money for something they would really like to do. Step Five: Contact your alumni relations staff to learn of any graduates who might be working in international advertising. Select several names and telephone them to assess their interest in coordinating your visits for that city. Ask for their suggestions regarding alumni to contact in other cities or interesting international advertising campaigns to study. Step Six: Work with alumni and others to contact potential agencies and determine your itinerary. Step Seven: Assign to the students agencies and accounts to research. Share findings with other seminar participants. The International Advertising Seminar Day One: Opening Luncheon - New York Overview: An editor from International Advertising Age and a representative from the International Advertising Association provided an overview of what they felt students would experience during the seminar. Key points included: (1) Obvious and subtle cultural differences exist between the United States and other countries. Advertising must reflect the culture of the targeted country. (2) Growth is occurring in various geographic areas. Advertising must coincide with this trend. (3) Research plays a major role in determining how multinational brands need to be introduced and promoted to an individual country. Students were advised to accept the practices, attitudes and other aspects of another country, recognizing their importance in what makes that country's culture unique and special. Day Two: Wunderman Cato Johnson - New York Overview: The role and impact of direct marketing in an integrated marketing communications was discussed, using AT&T World Plus program as an example. Key points included: (1) Direct response is any communication with a call to action. (2) The line between what is considered traditional advertising and direct response has been blurred. (3) Without strong branding through advertising, direct response cannot be successful. (4) Direct response has the ability to eliminate waste circulation in mass media and to truly concentrate a campaign's resources on the best prospects. Students were advised to think beyond traditional advertising in campaign development and to include direct response. Day Two: Young & Rubicam - New York Overview: Agency officials presented the "Zero Cavities" campaign for three different markets: Latin America, India and Europe. Key points included: (1) While the same positioning strategy may be used to reach consumer segments with similar attitudes and values in different areas of the world, the creative execution of that strategy needs to be tailored to each market. (2) Research is essential to determined a market's perception of a brand and its competition. Students were advised to learn more about efficient brand marketing across the globe and to integrate more research into a campaign's strategic direction and creative execution. Day Two: BBDO - New York Overview: Agency officials discussed how PepsiCo products are advertised on a domestic level. Key points included: (1) Stick with advertising that has worked for you. Pepsi alienated their younger audience with ads that resembled Coke's feel-good commercials. They later returned to their successful niche of the "young have fun" theme. (2) Product endorsement by celebrities can be a very successful advertising tool and is one PepsiCo has used for more than 30 years. Two celebrities PepsiCo has used, Michael Jackson and Madonna, have global appeal. Students were advised to thoroughly analyze research and other critical information before changing a campaign's strategy. Day Three: KLM Airlines, PMSvW/Y&R - Amsterdam Overview: The importance of brands and branding and the development of a consistent corporate identity for KLM Airlines was discussed. Key points included: (1) A company's most important function is to serve its customers. One way to communicate this goal is through the development of a service-oriented corporate identity. (2) Corporate identity must be visible, coherent, consistent, recognizable and memorable. (3) Consistent house style design is one of the critical tools in the development of a corporate identity. This style must be flexible enough to withstand a multitude of applications over a long period of time and changing market conditions. (4) The perception a customer has of your company is the only element that matters. Students were advised to truly understand the value of the brand, recognizing that a brand name is a direct reflection of a company's reputation and that it influences it long- and short-term ability to compete in the marketplace. Day Four: BBDO/Abbot Mead Vickers - London Overview: The advertising strategies and tactics of PepsiMax (a mid-calorie cola targeted at males in Canada and Europe and now being tested in the United States as Pepsi XL) in the United Kingdom and Europe were discussed. Key points included: (1) Companies often cannibalize their own lines in order not to lose market share to a competitor. (2) The creative concept of a campaign used in one country can be adapted for use in another. PepsiMax Europe utilized the concept in the diet Mountain Dew commercials shown in the United States. (3) Not all new products are introduced in the United States before expanding to other countries. Students were advised to understand the particular niche a new product is expected to fill in a product line and a product category. Day Four: Howell, Henry, Chaldecott, Lury & Partners - London Overview: Today's marketplace is characterized by over-communication, market saturation and hyper-competition. For an advertiser to be successful, a holistic, multidimensional approach must be utilized. Key points included: (1) Today's advertising climate makes for strange bedfellows. Witness Mercedes and Swatch, IBM and Apple, among others. (2) Research is key, and should be used for illumination as well as for support. (3) For an advertiser to successfully target its customers, database marketing must be utilized. Sweepstakes are good list-builders. Students were advised to make advertising one part of their lives rather than their life. They should spend time with their families, travel, read and do other activities they enjoy. This agency's employees regularly go home without work between 5-6 p.m. and rarely pull all-nighters. Howell, Henry, Chaldecott, Lury & Partners was voted Agency of the Year in the United Kingdom for 1994 and was named London's best place to work in 1993. Day Five: The Daily Telegraph and West Ferry Printers Overview: This session compared and contrasted newspapers in the United States and the United Kingdom. Key points included: (1) The United Kingdom media is based on newspapers, reaching 75 percent of the population, while the United States is more dependent on electronic media and direct response. (2) Deadlines are extremely important. A delay of an hour during a pre-production step multiplies itself during the production schedule. This has the potential to impact circulation guarantees and distribution. (3) Automation in the printing press has reduced the number of people required to produce the final newspaper product. Students were advised to understand the role of various media in individual countries and to use this knowledge in selecting appropriate communications vehicles for news and advertising. Day Five: Young and Rubicam - London Overview: This presentation explained how Colgate brands itself domestically through advertising campaigns, strategy and media, and how this differs from the worldwide approach. Key points included: (1) In managing a brand, the company and advertising agency must have a sense of the four primary pillars of brand growth: familiarity, esteem, relevance and differentiation. (2) Brand decline is not inevitable. A product can rejuvenate itself and revert the declining life cycle. Students were advised to study the position of the brand and to use this as a framework for understanding where the brand stands in the eyes of the consumer. Major Themes Stressed by the Agencies Certain themes were stressed throughout the week by all agencies and clients. The Value of the Brand Is Paramount Winning strategies protect the brand. A brand is not a one-time purchase, but rather a history of experiences. Brands offer opportunities for relationships that go well beyond the actual product or service, with Disneyworld, My First Sony and Chicago's Niketown being examples. Research Is Essential Research is critical at all stages of campaign development. While it can guide and justify certain decisions, perhaps research's greatest asset is in identifying challenges and opportunities before they emerge. Agencies that can deliver and interpret this kind of information will always find their services in demand. Global Advertising Is a Myth While a brand may be advertised in many different parts of the world, the strategy, execution and audience will probably be different for every country and sometimes areas of those countries. The key is to understand the customers' needs for interaction and involvement and to develop strategies to maximize this. Advertising Must Be Open to a Holistic Approach The old way of doing advertising won't work in today's market: It's one-way communication, too impersonal and has limited responsiveness. Advertising agencies that survive will espouse integrated thinking, allowing them to be competitive, innovative, anticipatory, collaborative and accountable. Reimbursement systems may have to be adapted to accommodate the use of numerous communication tools. Evaluation All goals were met. Agencies and clients generously gave of their time and expertise. Multinational accounts were studied, case studies were presented, agencies' and clients' offices were visited. Students were taught by the masters of advertising: presidents and heads of top agencies, worldwide creative directors, international media planners and senior vice presidents. The hospitality was warm and sincere. Refreshments were served and the students received several gifts. Students spent approximately $1,100 for the international advertising seminar. Approximately half of this cost was for airfare. Promotion of the international advertising seminar is underway in the university's and school's alumni publications. Using the International Seminar in the Classroom An international advertising seminar will provide the accompanying faculty member with many materials to use in the classroom. These materials have multiplied the number of students who have benefited from the lessons learned on the trip. Agencies and clients generously shared their presentation materials. Audiovisual aides used in the presentations and case studies such as overhead transparencies, tapes of advertising examples, planning documents and research were given to the faculty member. These have numerous classroom applications from the formal presentation of international case studies to anecdotal examples of various points. The faculty member also had the opportunity to personally meet and visit with agency executives and clients. These contacts have proven valuable in securing additional advertising tapes for classroom use and in providing information about current campaigns. Some Other Lessons Learned y Keep your group size to about 12 people. You will fit into most meeting rooms, be able to stay together when walking and can economically share a few taxis. y Offer only one option for travel and other arrangements. It's amazing how many special requests you may receive from asking to stay at friends' apartments to save lodging costs to wanting to take an afternoon off to see long lost relatives. Denying such requests keeps y ou from being a travel agent, maintains your sanity and helps you stay focused on the original goals. y Review tipping practices with the students. Most haven't much experience in this area. y Build in some free time. Our schedule did not allow for sightseeing and other tourist activities, and, in retrospect, it should have. The hesitancy was three-fold: our desire to maximize the student's exposure to international advertising; each day's meals and lodging cost about $100; and the spring semester started two days after we returned home. y Take some university gifts such as mugs and sweatshirts with you to give to the presenters. y If your trip will take place in early January, remember that most advertising agencies close between Christmas and New Year's Day. This could cause problems if you are trying to make final arrangements or to confirm your meetings. Future Trips Once the trip has been evaluated, the faculty should make a decision about future international trips. Some issues to be explored include new locations, accounts to be studied, frequency, alumni to be involved and timeframe. This seminar also helped identify other ways students could be exposed to international advertising. Obviously a trip overseas has a built-in excitement factor not matched by these other methods. But, if the goal is to increase your students' familiarization with multinational accounts, consider these less expensive alternatives. Guest speakers from advertising agencies or clients with an international scope could visit your classes and present case studies. An evening or weekend seminar would provide additional time for in-depth discussion. A day trip to an advertising agency within driving distance or a 2-3 day trip to a regional site would allow students to personally visit the agencies' and clients' offices, meet those who have worked on the campaigns and attend presentations for a variety of multinational accounts. Students could do case studies of international campaigns. A key component of such an assignment would be research on the country's people, laws, language(s) and customs. This would complement the actual presentation and discussion of the advertising campaign.

8 days late, Jets' Ryan & Woody finally meet the press today
- Last Updated: 4:33 AM, January 8, 2013
- Posted: 1:30 AM, January 8, 2013
- Jets Blog
The Vacation is over, and today, when he and Woody Johnson are tattooed with questions they should have answered eight days ago, Rex Ryan will realize that the honeymoon is over as well.
Ryan surfaces finally knowing that he doesn't only have to answer to the owner now, but also to an incoming general manager who will be picking the players and determine his fate at the end of 2013.
Ryan survived Black Monday because he has enough star power to command the publicity and attention the owner likes, and because back-to-back appearances in the AFC Championship game gave him just enough collateral.
But this is the first day of the rest of Ryan's head coaching life, which means that this is no longer about stealing headlines from the Giants. It is no longer about any X-rated performance on "Hard Knocks." It is no longer about big, bad talk about a presidential welcome at the White House, no longer about not kissing Bill Belichick's rings bravado.
It's about winning football games and leading a football team instead of a no-ring circus.
It's about recognizing that your beloved defense can't take you anywhere unless you have a quarterback who can play and a coordinator who can coordinate.
The burden of proof is on Ryan to show that he can coach with the big boys, because if you haven't gotten it after five years, the owner and the new GM have every right to reach the conclusion that the first two years were the aberration.
And Ryan will be forced to get it with his third offensive coordinator in three years, a new special teams coach, and, most likely, a new defensive coordinator. And an albatross quarterback.
There is so much that inquiring minds want to know that there are sure to be moments when Ryan and Johnson might wonder whether they are in store for a bit of waterboarding from maniacal media members.
In the interests of bringing a measure of civility and comportment to the Animal House hearings, it is suggested this be the first question of Ryan:
Q: How was Paradise Island?
And that should signal the end of the perfunctory niceties.
Because he has some Rexplainin' to do, as does the owner.
Before it's over, he will know how Richard Nixon felt getting grilled by David Frost. The two of them may be led to believe they had broken into and wiretapped the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee.

i used to get these pretty bad but i read somewhere that it helps when you adjust your breathing and land on your left foot when you exhale...forgot what was the reasoning but it works for me...i also try to really expand my diaphraghm breathing in and contract when breathing out..that seems to help as well..
Try this: Slow your pace a little bit clech your fists, take in a big breath and quickly puff it out. Exhale hard enough that your abdomen and your chest flinch.. Repeat several times until it eases. (similar to coughing) I read this somewhere and it always helped me and other runners. Give it a try and let me know if it works for you. I imagine this is a twist on the adjusting your breathing theory. Happy Running Dave

These cupcakes are a good thing.
They're a very good thing. Like they couldn't have come at a better time-bikini season!! (<–Yikes)
I'm not sure how it is even possible to have 70 calories in a cupcake but it happened..Unintentionally. I am actually a huge lover of angel food cake. I had never had chocolate angel food cake before, so I decided to give it a whirl. A whirl in cupcake form of course!
Because I made these into cupcakes, they obviously were begging for frosting, so that was a teeny dilemma I was having. I didn't want to make a buttercream because I thought that might be too sweet (Yes, "too sweet" is possible for me) and I really am not much of a fan of cream cheese frosting, so I decided to go with my family's favorite-whipped cream frosting
These cupcakes do deflate a little after a minute or two out of the oven. Be sure to fill the cupcakes with batter about 3/4 full, for the full experience!
Chocolate Angel Food Cupcakes
(Makes 15-17 cupcakes)
6 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup cake flour (or all purpose flour whisked with 1 teaspoon corn starch)
3/4 cup white sugar
2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
pinch of salt
- Preheat oven to 350˚F and line muffin tins with cupcake liners
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, allow the 6 eggs whites to sit (covered with plastic wrap) for about 30 minutes to come to room temperature. Meanwhile, sift 1/4 cup and 2 Tablespoons of white sugar, the cake flour, the cocoa powder, and the salt. Set aside.
- Once egg whites are at room temperature, beat using the whisk attachment until frothy. Mix in cream of tartar. Beat with whisk attachment until soft peaks form, gradually add in remaining 1/4 cup and 2 Tablespoons of white sugar, 1 Tablespoon at a time. Beat until shiny and stiff peaks form. Beat in te vanilla extract.
- Sift the flour mixture over the egg whites, one quater at a time. Fold after each addition using a rubber spatula. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into each cupcake liner. Bake in preheated oven for 15-17 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 2 minutes, then transfer to wire rack.
Random Fact of the Day: he chances of making two holes-in-one in a round of golf are one in 67 million.

As the European Union faces an ever-deepening crisis over its economic policies, economists, activists and trade unionists will gather in Brussels on the 5th-6th May 2012 to call for an alternative way forward.
More than 250 people from across Europe have registered to attend the event, jointly organised by Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO) and the Transnational Institute (TNI) to focus on the EU in Crisis: analysis, resistance and alternatives[1].
Criticism of the EU's approach to the current crisis has grown in recent months, as it has become evident that it will deepen the crisis, with US economist Paul Krugman describing the EU's policies as "just insane" [2]. In Greece, citizens are trying to take the government to the International Criminal Court claiming the austerity measures being imposed are crimes against humanity [3]. The eurocrisis and the EU's austerity push has brought down eight EU governments so far, with The Netherlands as the latest example [4].
CEO's research and campaign coordinator Olivier Hoedeman said:
"There is growing public opposition to the undemocratic austerity policies being enforced by the European Union. Only big business lobbies are cheering about the European Commission's rigid neoliberal stance, but these policies are causing social havoc and deepening the crisis."
This crisis is not the result of high wages or profligate governments - it was caused by excessive speculation by the finance sector and the deep imbalances within the eurozone that unfairly weakened the economies of many countries. Now the European public is being made to pay the price."
Speakers at the conference include:
Walden Bello - Author, political analyst and environmentalist and academic, recognised as one of the leading critics of the current model of economic globalisation.
Susan George - TNI fellow, President of the Board of TNI and honorary president of Attac France (the Association for Taxation of Financial Transactions to Aid Citizens).
Professor Trevor Evans, Professor of Monetary Economics, Berlin School of Economics.
Jan Willem Goudriaan, Deputy General Secretary, European Federation of Public Service Unions.
Sessions will also focus on the growing resistance to EU policies, including the 'Occupy' and 'Indignados' movements, and the conference aims at contributing to building strong pan-European campaigns, for example to halt the ratification of the EU's new Austerity Treaty [5].

Oneida boys basketball routs Canastota in opener
ONEIDA — Kyle Peck averaged nearly 20 points per game for Oneida's boys basketball team. In Friday night's opener against Canastota the senior scored nearly that many in the first half alone. Oneida had a 16–point lead at halftime and rolled to a 77-46 win over the Raiders.
"I'm very pleased with our defense, especially in the second half," said Oneida coach Jeff Didio. "We played harder to open the second half."
Canastota looked like it would be able to hang with the hosts through the first quarter. A 10-0 run gave the Oneida a 16-8 lead, but Elijah Motley answered with a three for the Raiders. Jonathan Halsey made a quick steal off the inbounds pass and his lay-up cut the deficit to 16-13 with 1:39 to play in the quarter.
It was all Oneida from there. Matt Hood rebounded a miss and made a lay-up to give Oneida a five-point lead after the first quarter. The hosts continued to pour it on in the second. Peck was fouled making a lay-up and made the ensuing free throw.
He followed the play with a three-point shot two possessions later. Bryan Inman's basket capped a 10-0 run, ended by Matt Russitano's three. The Raiders couldn't match Oneida's defensive intensity or find an answer for Peck for the remainder of the half.
He finished with 12 points in the second quarter, one less than Canastota's entire team.
"In the first half I thought our effort was outstanding," said Canastota head coach Josh Chenel. "In the second half we couldn't score. We made a lot of turnovers and they caught fire."
Peck also picked apart Canastota's defense with his passing in the second half. He started with two dazzling assists to Matt Carinci, helping Oneida stretch the lead to 22 points less than two minutes into the quarter. Carinci added two three pointers to finish the quarter with 10 points. Lucas Durant chipped in three baskets in the closing minutes to help Oneida take a 60-30 lead into the final quarter. Anthony Sicilia scored the Raiders' only field goal of the period, a three with 2:45 to play.
Didio was pleased with how balanced the scoring was throughout the second half. He said the team needs to have that balance throughout the year so opposing defenses can't key in on one or two players.
Oneida's coach turned to his bench to close out the fourth quarter. The defense continued to smother Canastota, with Hood providing a highlight-quality block early in the period. The Raiders struggled to get the ball inside and couldn't convert from beyond the three-point line. Motley did have a great play midway through the quarter, converting a driving lay-up while being fouled. Halsey also shone for Canastota, leading the team with 13 points, all in the first half. Continued...
"The kids are working hard in the gym and its coming along," said Chenel.
Canastota will face VVS in the consolation game Saturday at 3:30. Oneida plays Mohawk in the title game at 5:15.
Canastota 13 13 4 16 - 46
Oneida 18 24 18 17 - 77
Canastota (0-1): Nick Stagnitti 2, Zack Babcock 6, Matt Russitano 8, Elijah Motley 9, Jonathan Halsey 13, Anthony Sicilia 3, Steve Olden 4, Jeff Olden 1.
Oneida (1-0): Kyle Peck 18, Brendan Didio 4, William Coulter 3, Canyon Hicks 8, Lucas Durant 9, Matt Carinci 12, Mitchell Cavanagh 4, Bryan Inman 2, Branndon Inman 4, Tyler Kuhn 9, Matt Hood 4.

This project took place over the course of about a month and a half. The second graders took all the pictures you see with an iPad, 2 iPad minis, and an iPhone in small groups. The third graders then used the pictures, which were shared through Dropbox, with the Animoto website. Each third grader created a video, selected the pictures they wanted, along with the music and style of the video. They then linked their video to their KidBlog page. Ryan Rapp was the video that was chosen to represent North. He was nominated by several of his peers through KidBlog and finally picked by me. I hope you enjoy it, the kids really had fun with the project.

I am going to The Vancouver Club for a wedding this weekend. I've walked by the building before and it looks quite nice, a lovely place for a wedding reception. I've never been to The Vancouver Club and most of what I've heard of it comes from rich, old men I've met through work. From what I gather, it is an elitest place where business people go to talk about how great the are. Seriously, if the general clientele mirrors the few members I've met, then this place is snob central. The dress code posted on their website seems to validate my conclusion. Anyway, I'm wondering if this place is going to have any good beer? I'm sure they'll have wine and spirits that cost a lot, but will they display good taste or will the 'premium import beer' on the menu be Stella Artois? I'll find out and report back.
In any case, I have a backup plan to get myself some tasty craft beer on Saturday. Conveniently, The Railway Club is located equidistant from the ceremony and reception venues. I'm planning on popping in for a pint of their Railway Boxcar Bitter, brewed exclusively for The Railway Club by Phillips Brewing. They also have some other fine beers on the menu, Central City ESB being one. A few pints before the reception might improve the quality of the speeches later on, who can tell these things?

Walter Gilmore has held a variety of jobs, from shipping and receiving clerk to metal fabricator and chemical operator. But he needs more of an edge in today's job market.
"At my age, I have to make myself appeal to employers," said Gilmore, 52, who is staying at the Lighthouse homeless shelter at Clover's New Beginnings Baptist Church.
Gilmore is among about 10 adults who last week began taking WorkKeys training at the church — part of a new partnership with the Tri-District/Chester Adult Education program.
WorkKeys is a system for measuring, communicating and improving common skills required for success in the workplace. The skills — which include basic math and reading and also cover the ability to follow instructions and find information — can be tested and measured on different levels.
Job searchers who complete the WorkKeys assessment may earn one of four certification levels — bronze, silver, gold and platinum — to demonstrate their proficiency. The bronze level demonstrates a skill level for 16 percent of jobs, for example, while a platinum-certified job-seeker has the skill level of eligibility for 99 percent of jobs.
Many employers now require a certain level of WorkKeys certification before they consider an applicant for a job, said Kenneth Gaither, director of Tri-District/Chester Adult Education.
Gaither said WorkKeys is offered at the adult education program's sites in Clover, York, Fort Mill and Chester County. But, he said, not everyone has the means or the motivation to seek training at the center's sites.
"We want to take our story and our information to the people, wherever they are," Gaither said. "We want to work with you to find the success that you want."
Adult ed instructor Chris Hemphill, who promoted the idea for the outreach and is teaching the WorkKeys classes at New Beginnings, said WorkKeys certification can help improve self esteem among job seekers.
"They need something to hold onto," Hemphill said, referring to the certification. "We want to give people hope. And then maybe they will come to the main (adult ed) campus and shoot for their GED."
The Rev. Sam Thompson, founder and pastor of New Beginnings, said the training helps "people who are maybe not as fortunate to have a pedigree. It's an opportunity for someone to benefit themselves in spite of their condition."
Nathan Whisonant, 21, a Lighthouse shelter resident who is taking the WorkKeys training at the church, said he hopes it helps him find a better future. He has worked in retail, but became homeless when he was 19.
"It really helps as far as keeping your mind open to things you didn't know," Whisonant said.
Gaither and Hemphill said they plan to gauge the interest in the outreach after about three months to determine the program's next step. However, Gaither said he wants the training outreach to become permanent.
"We want them to see that we are willing to go that extra mile," Gaither said, referring to potential adult ed students. "I want to be a visible part of the community."
Want to know more?
WorkKeys classes will be offered at New Beginnings Baptist Church, 706 N. Main St., Clover, from 2 to 4 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays for a three-week period through March to prepare students for assessments.
WorkKeys assessments at New Beginnings will be given on Feb. 4 and March 4. Classes for the next test begin the day of each assessment. For details, call the church at 803-222-0636.
Tri-District Adult Education, 420 Knox St., Clover, which also offers WorkKeys training and assessment, is open 8:30 a.m. to noon Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Monday and Tuesday. Lab hours are noon to 2 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday. Details, 803-810-8440.

How close is the race for New York's new 19th Congressional District? The answer depends on who you ask.
Both campaigns released polls this week that show a vastly different snapshot of the race to represent a large area including Greene, Columbia, Schoharie and parts of Montgomery and Rensselaer Counties.
At Herrington Farms in Rensselaer County, they milk their 580 cows three times a day. And during a campaign stop at the Brunswick you might say Chris Gibson was 'milking' his latest campaign endorsement from the Republican Environmental Group Conserve America.
Gibson says, "ensure we make the right choices to preserve our beautiful environment
While talking about preserving the earth, the Republican from Kinderhook is working to preserve a lead in the polls against Democratic Challenger, Julian Schreibman.
Gibson says, "according to polling results, we are up 50 to 39."
The poll, paid for by the Gibson campaign, surveyed 400 likely voters in the 19th Congressional District.
Earlier this week - before the two debated in Ulster County - the Schreibman campaign released a Democratic poll showing the Kingston area attorney only two points behind. That too, surveyed 400 likely voters and put the race at 43 to 41.
Schreibman was not available to talk with us locally, today but the campaign sent a statement saying after the release of that poll showing the race in a dead heat an across the board consensus that Congressman Gibson lost the debate, it is no wonder that his campaign has hit the panic button.
Back at the farm, less panic, more pride for the farmers as Gibson touted his policies on clean energy. Both candidates will be digging for energy of a different kind over the next three and a half weeks, as they criss-cross this massive 11 county district.
The latest poll in Gibson's favor also showed Romney with a one point lead in the district. Questioning the accuracy of the poll, the Schreibman campaign pointed out a Romney lead in this area is something no other survey has found.
Both polls had a margin of error of 4.9 percent. That's higher than we usually see.

Hi Greg,
I think there could be great synergy between the two upcoming events-- LEEF and the NASAGA conference. We can definitely come up with ideas to cross promote both events. Feel free to email me at email@example.com with some thoughts.
Hello Greg,
Thank you for your note, I would like to attend the conference, as well as might some of my colleagues in Bloomington who are similar projects. Please let me know if you will attend G4C, GLS, CGAMES or TEDxBloomington "Wisdom of Play", if so it would be fun to chat w/ you at those events as well!

While the birds are spread along the branch, it's not uncommon for a strong wind to blow the birds off the branch and for people to find them on the ground.
If you find a baby bird on the ground, what should you do with it?
Stewart said the best thing to do is get the bird out of the reach of house cats and dogs by placing it on a safe branch. "The baby will squawk and the parents will find it," he said
"Most birds do not have a good sense of smell, so picking the bird up and placing it on a branch won't harm it." Stewart also said you shouldn't feed the bird before you place it back in the tree. "Trying to hand feed a young bird is not a good idea," he said.
Stewart said birds have a specific diet. "Feeding them something that's not part of their diet could kill them. For example, you might be surprised to learn that robins are one of just a few birds that can safely eat worms. Most birds can't," he said.
Stewart said the best thing to do is let the bird's parents feed it. "They know what the bird can and cannot eat." In addition to receiving calls about individual birds, DWR offices also receive calls from people who have found a nest with newly hatched birds in it. The caller wants to know what they should do with the nest. Stewart said the best thing to do is leave the nest where it is. But if you can't, then relocate it in a nearby tree or another safe place. "Birds are extremely good parents," he said. "They'll almost always find the spot where the nest is placed by following the sounds of their young."

SF-A2 miki
Comments278this wiki
| ||||||||||||||||||||||
SF-A2 development code miki (SF-A2 開発コード miki), often shortened to just "SF-A2 miki", is a Japanese Vocaloid released on December 4, 2009. In Japanese, 'development code' or 'codename' translates as 'kaihatsu koudo'. She is developed by AH-Software.[1]
Contents |
According to the information that came from the 2012 redesign, miki was designed to look like she was made out of a inorganic material and was conceptualised as an android. Her body is designed to look like that of a child, but also give her the overall look of approx 14 years old. Though she is an android, she is covered in muscles made of various materials such as carbon nanotubes, but were made loose to give a mild deformed look about them. Having an immature-looking body allowed more easily for her to be passed off as younger then she looks, similar to how Miku and Rin could do the same since they lacked mature looking bodies.[2]
Her codename of "miki" comes from her provider's name "Miki Furukawa".
The "SF-A2" part of her name has never been stated on its meaning.

She, along with Kaai Yuki and Hiyama Kiyoteru were introduced to expand the Vocaloid market and give Producers more choices. [3]
An album with her singing Christmas songs, "VOCALOIDS☆X'MAS" was also set to be released in November, 2009. Notable Vocaloid song creators' works are included in the album [4][5]. She was also used for the introduction of the Hello Kitty game, Hello Kitty to Issho! Block Crash 123! on its official page.
Until May 2011, all AH-Software Vocaloids were banned from Karen-T.
In June 2012, merchandise of both her and Yuzuki Yukari began to sell including mugs and T-shirts.[6]
Although no official figurines exist, a Garage Kit was produced for her by Ishii Komasuke.
Additional informationEdit
SF-A2 miki was the most popular of the first three AH-Software Vocaloids, however the three were slow to gain popularity and for a while were amongst the least popular of the Japanese Vocaloids.[7]
A independent Vocaloid search on Nico Nico Douga revealed that most Vocaloids had less then 1,000 videos uploaded on Nico Nico Douga in between July 1 and December 15, 2011 with SF-A2 miki falling into that category as well.[8]
- Kio's model is available by purchase of Windows 100% magazine and MMD Starter Pack magazine. Previously the model was available to download from his site, however it was pulled after users violated the models 'terms of use'.
- SF-A2 miki's voice provider, Miki Furukawa, works for Ki/oon records who are owned by Sony and is the same group Utatane Piko's provider Piko comes from.

1. | Marx | ||
In history, "Marx" is usually synonymous with Karl Marx, the man who along with Fredrich Engels is considered the father of communism. These two men wrote the Communist Manifesto, which laid out the idea of communism, which can really be considered a form of extreme socialism.
Other men, such as Vladimir Lenin, would read the works of Marx and be led to start revolutions and spread communism throughout the world. In theory, communism could work. However, applied in real life, the dreams of Karl Marx would never fully materialize. "And while Lenin read a book on Marx, a quartet practiced in the park/ and we sang dirges in the dark, the day the music died."- Don McLean, "American Pie" (the song, not the movie)
2. | Marx | ||
A man who was far, far ahead of his time. Marx theorized that false consciousness kept the proletariat from realizing their capacity to act in their class interest, foreseeing the massive popularity of The Real Housewives of {blah} County series, and high school libertarians ~going Galt~
4. | Marx | ||
German social theorist widely taught at universities around the U.S. A very popular thinker among U.S. college students of limited intellectual capacity or liberal political inclination.
Marx taught that the property owners oppressed the poor working class people. They did this primarily through religion which was described as the opiate of the masses and an effective means of controlling people. Marx, while being an atheist, considered himself something of a prophet, and Marxism the absolute truth. In this manner Marx subtlety deceived the mass of mediocre intellectuals into worshiping him as their messiah. Marx is the messiah to Marxists and Marxism is their religion. Marxism, like many religions, is dogmatic and requires unquestioning obedience. Critical thinking is unacceptable. Marx wrote that any philosophy or perspective other than Marxism is capitalist ideology or false consciousness used to control people. Marx taught that the only truth is Marxism and only Marxism can liberate people. In this regard Karl Marx is no different from any other religious extremist such as Osama bin Laden who wishes to exterminate all non Muslims. Marxist leaders throughout history have often exterminated citizens critical of Marxism. Mao Tse Tung alone killed 50 million Chinese who were considered disobedient to the Marxist ideal. He especially targeted intellectuals who he asked to give advice on how the Marxist ideal could be improved. When they offered criti... |

6. | Marx | ||
Marx the philosopher was a communist Nazi pig that is now sucking Hitler's cock in hell! And from what Linda Blaire in the exorcist says, Marx is doing a great job of it to!
Karl Heinrich Marx was born in Germany and came from a long line of Jewish Rabbis. Marx's family rejected Judaism and moved onto Christianity (which that's about the only fucking good thing he ever fuck'n did!). However the Marx family only did this out of pressure from the government, so in a sense depending on outcomes the Marx family may have converted to Satanists if it were on the cards. Why struggle when you can bend? Karl Marx then came up with this crazy theory about the working class and the struggles of mankind in regards to labor markets. Cutting a long story short, Marx was just someone who got caught up in the moment of the times and was a total hypocrite! Marx was apparently for the working classes and had all these Nazi theories of giving up your personal freedom, control and wealth to the government, but yet Marx married into wealth, and not only that he married into royalty! Marx married Jenny von Westphalen a daughter of a German baron. This was kept very secret at the time as Marx was going into politics and didn't want to be perceived by his hard working class folk as someone who was a hypocrite! Marx most famous works are 'Class Struggles', however now marrying into royalty with rich fuck buddy friends like |

A year ago there were 20 restaurants open between the Etowah River at the end of the Cotton Block and Turner McCall Boulevard. Today, there are 20 restaurants open in that same downtown district.
Gone are A.Y.F., 425 Broad St.; Cups & Mugs, 239 Broad; Pastime, 111 Broad; and the Victorian Rose Team Room, 510 Broad.
New this past year are Curlee's Fish House & Oyster Bar, 227 Broad; Dandy Lyons, 239 Broad; Brewhouse Music & Grill, 325 Broad; and Swift & Finch Coffee at 600 Broad.
Steven McDowell, chairman of the Rome Downtown Development Authority, said it's very important to have such a diversity of restaurants in the district.
"They are a magnet to bring visitors to downtown," McDowell said. "They are the ultimate economic provider for downtown — having guests, visitors and people excited about seeing what's downtown."
Sylvia Lanier, owner of Promotions Plus on Broad Street, said she thinks it is wonderful to have a good mix.
"Everyone has a different idea of taste, and there are so many restaurants that you can choose from, from steaks to pizza to pasta to whatever," Lanier said. "Bringing these restaurants downtown has really increased the activity downtown, and it's just fabulous that we have all this going on."
Paula Blevins, owner of C&S Trophies on Broad Street, said that on any given day she can choose from a wide variety of menus, call in an order and go pick it up.
"In the evening after I get off work I love having a good variety to choose from, and now we have breakfast options, too," Blevins said.
The ability to walk from her shop in the Cotton Block and have a variety of cuisines to choose from — Mexican, Thai, seafood, traditional Southern home-cooking, pizza, subs, you name it — is something she considers a major asset to downtown.
Being able to walk to lunch or dinner is important because any conversation about the restaurants in downtown cannot be complete without a discussion of the parking challenges. One of the latest concerns among some of the restaurateurs involves the Third Avenue Parking Deck.
Several restaurants have opted to participate with the Downtown Parking Management office plan to validate ticket stubs for their patrons. Customers park in the Third Avenue deck, enjoy their meals and get a free ticket to put in the machine as they exit the deck.
On some occasions, when The Forum or Brewhouse are expecting particularly large crowds, 450-plus, and do not choose to lease the deck for the show or event, the Parking Management office staffs the deck at the entrance and charges a flat $5-per-car fee. The regular rate is $1 an hour, with the first hour free.
Charles Curlee, owner of Curlee's Fish House & Oyster Bar, said some patrons then expect him to reimburse that $5 fee, which Curlee said is simply not possible. The alternative then, if on-street parking is not available, is that his restaurant loses business for the night.
Anthony Barba at LaScala has expressed the same concerns. He started to complain about the problem almost a year ago.
"Our business was hurt so terribly badly, and nothing has changed," Barba said. "The deck has compounded the problem for me. Last April or May, one night I lost 35 reservations from people who called and said they can't come; there's nowhere to park."
Parking Manager Becky Smyth said that at this point her office is not planning to change the procedures at the deck.
People leasing The Forum for large events are also encouraged to lease the deck for $400. In that case, all of the gates are opened, and it's free parking — not only for people attending the event at The Forum, or elsewhere, but for anyone who wants to go to one of the downtown restaurants or shop in businesses downtown.
Smyth said she learned several years ago that if people use the normal ticketing machines and 400 people try to leave at the same time after an event, the traffic could back up in the deck for an hour or more.
"First-time users couldn't figure it out, and then you've got credit card processing; … even though you've got three machines to pay to get out it still takes 30 seconds to a minute to operate it," Smyth said. "If you pay as you go in, then we can leave all the gates up and nobody has to be there at the exits."
Smyth also indicated a significant number of people who come into downtown for major events and pack the deck probably take advantage of the many downtown restaurants as well.
"We haven't found anything any better than what we are currently doing," Smyth said.
Curlee wishes that something better could be found.
"I can go back and show days where they have charged $5 parking and we have up to a 25-percent decrease in sales," he said. "It typically has been the most inopportune times, Friday and Saturday business. Restaurants depend on those two particular days to carry the week because of the nature of sales."
Curlee also expressed some concern about the decision to charge $5 parking for the Sammy Kershaw appearance at the Brewhouse Music & Grill.
The success of downtown restaurants is important to the city's coffers up front each year. City Clerk Joe Smith said business license fees paid by the restaurants alone amount to between $9,000 and $10,000 in a typical year.
This year, the alcohol pouring licenses issued to the Broad Street restaurants brought in more than $81,500 for the city.
The Broad Street restaurants also provide jobs for approximately 300 full- or part-time employees.
Some merchants and city officials were somewhat surprised by a market report done by the Small Business Development Center that showed Rome might actually be underserved by restaurants. David Doss, for one, was seeking a copy of that report recently to help him bring a restaurant to an outparcel on the planned Courtyard by Marriott site on West Third Street.
Jamwich, a specialty sandwich shop, is expected to open at 510 Broad St. next month.
DDA Executive Director Ann Arnold said the market would make the decision as to how many restaurants downtown can bear.
"We've been successful so far with what we have, and we would certainly welcome the opportunity to see if we can add something else to the mix," Arnold said.

Herbs, fruits and vegatables for a Healthy Autumn
Holidays are over, and fall for many for many is a sign of paperwork, miscellaneous payments (patents, registrations, etc.). And above all, the end of summer means the end of relaxation and the beginning of our routine life. This situation worsens if the summer relaxation meant letting ourselves go as far as diet, drink more alcohol are concerned. Well, think positive! There are always recipes to help us improve our post-holiday stress, which can be combined with physical activity, but above all, to quickly detoxify our body that diet and loose our summer beer gut!
We recommend your diet include essential herbs for detoxifying the body, and plenty of fruits and vegetables should be part of our daily diet. Detoxifying our blood gives us a world of benefits, and will charge us up and leave us ready to face the challenges of the coming months.
One herb I´m a big fan of is oregano, which is an old kitchen standby. To use as part of an herbal detox: Prepare two to three grams of Oregano in a liter of boiled water, as if tea for one liter. We drink a cup every night after dinner and relax us detoxify during sleep.
Another herb with powerful detoxifying properties that is enhanced by taking it as a blend with Nettles, is Calendula. Drink an the infusion of the flowers, one teaspoon of flowers per cup of boiled water. Before proceeding with the second part, think back to the routine does not mean that you can escape a few days, Taking a break from your routine one weekend can also help, and it is a special time to rent apartments in Budapest and enjoy the festivities …

If you have a lot of pests in your house then you wont be able to use an insecticide to get rid of them all. You are going to have to call Perth pest control specialist Maxwell Robinson & Phelps so those nasty pests will move out permanently. Believe it or not, you have more than your pets in your house. You have some animals that are going to bother you instead of entertaining you like what your pets do. These pests would feast your leftovers and you wont need to feed them anything because they will steal your food. Some would pop up when you least expect them to thus causing you to get shocked. You may need to hire a pest controller so you wont see these pests again. Of course, you may need to find out what the pest controller would do so you will find out if it is good for your health. You may also need to find out the price of the Perth pest control company you hire so you can find out if you can afford it or not.
If you notice some termites are wrecking your house then it may be time to call a pest controller. It is better to not wait until your house gets destroyed by these termites. Even if they are small pests, you should never underestimate them as it is better to do something about it instead of waiting. It would be wise to go for a Perth pest control company that provides you with a money back guarantee if you notice there are still some pests in your house after they did their job. If you do that then you will be confident all the pests in your house will get exterminated. Of course, you would want the pest controllers to use high tech equipment as well. Call Maxwell Robinson Phelps to discuss your pest problems and experience their years of knowledge and their attention to detail when it comes to pest control.

I ordered the Excalibur from an on-line company at the beginning of Jan. Well weeks went by and no dehydrater. I called the company and they said they goofed and sent it. Two weeks later (and a month and a half since i origionally ordered it) I have my dehydrater.
However.......I don't see an instruction manual. Does the excalibur come with one? How do I know how to and clean it without one? Hmm.....wondering if any of you know? I am anxious to use it.
