Adam Marchick, CEO, Kahuna; Jennifer Wise, Senior Analyst, Forrester Research
Oct 5 2015
60 mins
Your customers' lives are glued to their mobile screens and their decisions are increasingly being influenced by what they can or can't do on their device of choice, in their "mobile moment" of need. Successful brands win those mobile moments with personalized communication at scale. This requires changes in the tools we use, as well as a mindset shift in how marketers communicate with customers.

In this webinar, you'll learn:

Meet the Experts: Your Marketing Data Needs Governance, Too
Thomas Brence, Director, Product Marketing, Informatica Data as a Service
Sep 29 2015
26 mins
Since many compliance and regulation issues come from data, all organizations need a governance plan for data in all of its many forms. One area that is often overlooked is the abundance of data that your marketing team collects – which is used throughout the business for important objectives, including customer communication and revenue generation.
The volume of data collected by the marketing area of your organization is set to grow, as most CMOs say that data acquisition is a top priority, according to a Salesforce Marketing Cloud survey. A data governance strategy for the marketing area, including validating and cleansing this data, will reduce the risks of common compliance issues and their consequences.
Applying data governance best practices to your organization's marketing operations can be simple, quick, and highly beneficial to your organization overall. For example, accurate, clean data that meets regulations improves a marketer's ability to effectively personalize their messaging, which can lead to 5-8 times the ROI on your marketing spending. Join us for this Meet the Experts webinar series to learn from the Data as a Service team about the risks and costs of not having a governance strategy for your marketing data, and how we can help you proactively solve these issues.

Localization and Translation - The biggest challenges you're probably facing
Wendy Schuchart, VentureBeat Analyst
Sep 29 2015
62 mins
Sponsored by Lionbridge
It's no secret – any well-known brand you see on a regular basis is already playing with a localization strategy to increase market reach. For your message to resonate, you need to be thinking not just at a regional level, but about your global customer experience.
Localization isn't limited to simple translation -- you can't set it and forget it. Companies shouldn't assume, for instance, that a campaign created for Spain will be equally as effective to all Spanish-speaking consumers in the U.S. or Mexico. It's not just language, but cultural differences. Consider the message you might send to someone in Berkeley, California, versus one you might send to someone in Phoenix, Arizona or New York City. And once your unique branding content has been sent out to different geographies, your localization efforts aren't over just yet. True experts understand that the campaign as a whole is not a sum of its parts -- a campaign's success can be in the granular regions, creating a truly unique customer experience with that added local flavor to resonate within the audience.
We'll walk you through the most common challenges that companies make and help you improve your campaign's quality, accuracy and relevance to reach the right consumer. We'll give tips on not only improving the localization process but help you deliver better metrics to senior leadership that tell the true story of your brand's globalization.
In this webinar, you'll learn how to:
- Re-think campaign creation at the regional level -- and the global one
- Effectively use in-market experts to drive better impact
- Make your branding as world-ready as possible.
- Use metrics to show the truest picture of your campaign's effectiveness
- Enhance the customer experience through storytelling and added local flavor

Geo-location and mobile marketing: Wherever they go, there you are
John Koetsier, VP Research, VentureBeat
Sep 23 2015
59 mins
Sponsored by FollowAnalytics
Since the beginning of time, marketers have understood that location matters. From putting guys on corners wearing sandwich boards to having airplanes dragging message banners, marketers use proximity marketing to snag hot prospects and leads when the moment is hot. Knowing where your customers are has never been easier, thanks to their own smartphone's internal GPS. Now you can target those prospects who are in the same state, city or even the same block as your salesman. Through geo-fencing and iBeacons you can even send a message to them the moment they step inside your store -- or try to lure them out of your competitor's store too.
The flip side? You risk creeping out and alienating your customer base. Don't know where to start? Want that next great idea? Our experts will talk through the basics to master level geolocation triggers through mobile marketing automation in a fast-paced discussion. Register today!
In this webinar, you'll
* Learn the difference between geo-fencing, geo-targeting and geolocation
* Discover the savvy geolocation techniques being used by today's top marketers
* Integrate geo-fencing or geo-targeting technologies into your marketing strategy, regardless of budget
* Understand how competitors may be luring your customers out of your business through their own geo-fencing activities on your own home turf.
John Koetsier, VP of Research, VentureBeat
Joe Megibow, SVP/Chief Digital Officer, American Eagle Outfitters

Join us at Silverpop, the IMRG, an expert panel and your peers for a deep dive look into the new Directive, with tips on how you can risk assess your marketing and put steps in place to comply.
The EU Privacy Directive comes into force in the UK on 25 May; it mandates that all companies marketing into the UK need to obtain consent from visitors to their websites in order to store and retrieve usage information from users' computers...
This enforcement has wide reaching consequences for any business using web tracking and cookies, and the potential to impact marketing departments across the globe.
An analysis of Silverpop's own marketing shows it affects everything from lead generation, to email nurturing, through to our website analytics and even customer marketing.
So how can we as online facing organisations, balance the need to comply with the law, our business needs, and of course the visitor experience?

Title: Problems with Thuja in Oakland CA
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I have a Thuja hedge about 100' long. Part of this hedge and a well established Rhododendron have been diagnosed with Armillaria mellea that is spreading. I see the bunches of mushrooms growing everywhere. HELP! I imagine that I will have to replace the once beautiful Thujas. What steps must I follow to create privacy from pedestrians and cars (preparation, resistant hedge choices). Thank you for any help you can suggest.
Because Armillaria mellea is a mushroom and a non-vascular (does not have internal food and water conducting tissues possessed by "true" plants) fungi, we are unfamiliar with how it interacts with other plants. From MushroomExpert.com, Armillaria mellea: The Honey Mushroom, gives you much more information on that than we could. From that article, here is an extract that locates the plant and its target hosts:
"The classic honey mushroom, Armillaria mellea, turns out to be limited to roughly the eastern half of North America, from about the Great Lakes to the Gulf Coast and the East Coast--and perhaps to northern California, where it has been reported. It usually grows in clusters on hardwoods, but is occasionally found on conifers. It has a fairly smooth cap, a sturdy ring on the stem, and fused stem bases that are tapered to points. Under the microscope, it has basidia that are not clamped at their bases."
Oakland, on the San Francisco Bay appears to be in USDA Hardiness Zones 10 to 11, approximately in the middle of the state; that is considered Northern California.
There are two members of the Thuja genus native to North America:
Thuja occidentalis (Arborvitae) - this USDA Plant Profile shows that it does not grow west of Minnesota nor in any of the southeastern United States
Thuja plicata (Western arborvitae) - USDA Plant Profile indicates it grows in 3 counties in Northern California, but these maps can become out of date. Pictures from Google.
So, you have one plant (Thuja occidentalis (Arborvitae) that should not be growing in your area at all, and one (Thuja plicata (Western arborvitae) plus the Armilleria mellea that might not grow in your area. It is always essential, before you purchase a plant, to determine if it belongs in the area where you are gardening. If you have Thuja plicata (Western arborvitae) our webpage on that plant states that it is very resistant to rot. Since we do not know the answers to these questions, we will proceed as best we can on what you should do next. If a local expert has made the diagnosis we will defer to that, since we are not on the spot, and probably wouldn't know which is what, if we were on the spot.
We made all the above comments to help you understand that perhaps the selection of a conifer such as Thuja for your area may have been the original mistake. Our second thought is that, although this perhaps does not constitute a complete monoculture, 100' of the same plant is certainly inviting trouble if they all contract the same problem and/or transmit it among themselves. We are going to go to our Recommended Species section, select on Northern California on the map, and then choose "tree" from the drop-down menu on General Appearance. You may also, in that right hand sidebar on the page, indicate soil moisture and amount of sun available. We will do a sample list for you, and recommend that you read each webpage on the specific tree and also follow the link at the bottom of the page to Google on that plant and, using the same method, make choices of your own. If your plants have a disease carried in the soil, you will have to find plants whose roots can withstand whatever is causing the rot. We also suggest you contact the people at the University of California Extension Office, Alameda County, to see if they know what is going on. We could find no conifers native to your area; perhaps they don't like that warmth and low altitude.

UniversalGiving is thrilled to announce our new partnership with The Carr Educational Foundation- Daraja Academy!
Founded by a Bay Area couple, The Carr Educational Foundation works to provide a transformative education to gifted African girls who would otherwise have few opportunities for a better life. The Foundation's first school, the Daraja Academy in Kenya, offers students not only traditional classes, but also an education in areas such as sustainable gardening, sex education, and women's empowerment so that, by the time they leave the school, girls have to tools to reach out to their communities and improve their life and their society. On top of all that- the school is the first free school in East Africa offering secondary education to girls!

The Girls Of Daraja
The rising cost of living in Uganda has led people to take to the streets in protest in recent days. Thursday, an intended solidarity "walk to work" day, turned violent as authorities reportedly used disproportionate amounts of force resulting in many of the peaceful protesters being taken to the hospital or to prison. In an attempt to halt the spread of these protests, many opposition political leaders have been arrested, including Kizza Besigye, the runner up in the recent presidential elections. As police continue to assault protesters with beatings, tear gas, rubber bullets, and in some reported instances live ammunition, civilians continue to pour in to local hospitals.
UniversalGiving's partner Groundwork Opportunities is working tirelessly in Uganda to report the truth on the recent uprising and to provide support to the victims of police violence. GO's team is currently working directly with the civilian victims of the demonstrations and have made direct contact with a local hospital in Kampala to help these innocent bystanders.
Media Sources: New York Times, BBC News, Groundwork Opportunities
How can you help Ugandans caught in the violence?
Support Groundwork Opportunities efforts by donating to their Stop the Violence in Uganda campaign. 100% of donations made through UniversalGiving will go directly to Groundwork Opportunities, and in turn they are sending 100% of donations to the Mulago Hospital in order to help them care for the victims of violence.

If you have never been to the Boston Fourth Of July fireworks display, I urge you to make the effort. I believe you will find it well worth the trouble, and an experience you will never forget.A couple of years ago, I took the Jay Talking camera to the event and I was very fortunate to score a great vantage point from which to shoot video. It was only because of the temporary evacuation and subsequent reshuffling of spectators, due to the threat of thunderstorms in the area, that I was able to secure such an unbelievable position. I managed to get so close to the exquisite fury of the event that the camera actually takes you inside the holiday firestorm. The extravaganza is breathtaking.

A new method of building materials using light, developed by researchers at the University of Cambridge, could one day enable technologies that are often considered the realm of science fiction, such as invisibility cloaks and cloaking devices.
Although cloaked starships won't be a reality for quite some time, the technique which researchers have developed for constructing materials with building blocks a few billionths of a metre across can be used to control the way that light flies through them, and works on large chunks all at once. Details are published today (28 July) in the journal Nature Communications.
The key to any sort of 'invisibility' effect lies in the way light interacts with a material. When light hits a surface, it is either absorbed or reflected, which is what enables us to see objects. However, by engineering materials at the nanoscale, it is possible to produce 'metamaterials': materials which can control the way in which light interacts with them. Light reflected by a metamaterial is refracted in the 'wrong' way, potentially rendering objects invisible, or making them appear as something else.
Metamaterials have a wide range of potential applications, including sensing and improving military stealth technology. However, before cloaking devices can become reality on a larger scale, researchers must determine how to make the right materials at the nanoscale, and using light is now shown to be an enormous help in such nano-construction.
The technique developed by the Cambridge team involves using unfocused laser light as billions of needles, stitching gold nanoparticles together into long strings, directly in water for the first time. These strings can then be stacked into layers one on top of the other, similar to Lego bricks. The method makes it possible to produce materials in much higher quantities than can be made through current techniques.
In order to make the strings, the researc

"Great Story, Poor Narrator"
As always, MK is full of facts and stories that invites the reader in. For anyone wanting a great read by MK, try SALT. Unfortunately the narrator's very poor accents (he's obviously never been to Newfoundland), and bad pronunciations (it's newfenland, not new foundlend + many others) took away from what would have been a better book.
"too many recipes"
Generally a good listen, but far too many ancient cod recipes.
"It's really 2 books; 1 good, 1 bad"
The book's telling of the history of fishing for cod off the Atlantic coast of Canada and New England is almost always interesting and at times fascinating. For instance Kurlansky makes a convincing case that Basque fishermen were catching cod on the Grand Banks and drying them on Newfoundland's shores way before Columbus set sail for the Indies. But Kurlansky spends as much time writing about cod cuisine as he does on the history cod fishing (or maybe it just seems that way), and there are very few topics that interest me less than the details of, say, how cod was cooked in 16th century Portugal.
For the audio book version, delete all that how-to-cook-cod stuff.
Classic Kurlansky
Yes. I like his choice of subject matter and even though it may be due to the similarities of the subjects I enjoy the subtle cross references between his books.
Good book.
"Cod shaped our history!"
Cod shaped the economic history of North America for several centuries as well as provided a major economic impact in much of Europe. You can't fully understand our history without reading this book.
The economic impact of cod tapered off as overfishing devastated the economic value of this important resource.
There are many historical and environmental lessons contained in this book.
The book is also entertaining and introduces you to real people who's lives have been profoundly altered by the mismanagement of cod fishing.
"Fascinating topic--tough audiobook"
The topic of cod and fisheries is fascinating and well described and researched by Mark Kurlansky. It's a wonderful blend of science, history, culture, literature, culinary arts, etc... But it is a difficult "read" as an audiobook, despite a valiant attempt by the narrator. There are many quotes, recipes, and other passages that are better read on paper than heard.
"History in a chowder pot"
A great way to learn about early explorations and how the one fish changed/influenced history. I feel I need a hard copy, though, because some of the recipes cannot be captured well in mere audio.
"Sad Story of a delicious fish"
Not just a fish story. An interesting history of a very old industry with a very bleak future. I remember when cod was plentiful and inexpensive. Now I know why it is no longer on the menu. (I did skip the recipes at the end.)
"Cod: Tthe Fish that Changed the World"
In a this world, the destiny of which seems to be in the hands of those with the greatest lust for riches and/or power, it was fascinating to see how a seemingly insignificent item had such an effect on the course of history.

Xinhua said the Dongfang Coal Mine had not heeded an order from the municipal government more than a month ago for all mines to suspend production because of the flood season.
China Central Television reported that most of the trapped miners were in their 40s.
China has the world's deadliest mines, although the safety record has been improving in recent years as regulators have strengthened enforcement of safety rules.
On Thursday, a coal mine flooded in Jixi city in Heilongjiang province in China's northeast, trapping 25 workers, nine of whom were pulled out the next day. Xinhua reported Tuesday that three bodies had been found. It said 13 were still trapped and that their chances of survival were slim.

Houston, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - Danuel House scored a game-high 24 points and pulled down eight rebounds to help give the Houston Cougars to a 76-70 win over the Texas State Bobcats in non-conference action at Hofheinz Pavilion.
Also scoring in double figures for the Cougars (1-0) were TaShawn Thomas with 22 on 10-of-15 shooting from the field, followed by L.J. Rose with 11 points, to go along with six assists.
The Bobcats (0-1) were paced by Emani Grant and his 19 points on 9-of-11 shooting, followed by Joel Wright who dropped in 18 points and cleared eight boards, but at the same time turned the ball over six times. Phil Hawkins chipped in 10 points.
A pair of free throws by Wes Davis at the 8:31 mark of the first quarter put the Bobcats up by four points, 26-22, but a 16-2 run by Houston gave the hosts control and an eventual 46-41 advantage at the break.
After shooting 51.9 percent from the floor in the first half, Houston made good on 52.2 percent over the final 20 minutes into order to take the win.
In a game that featured seven ties and five lead changes, the difference in the contest took place at the free-throw line where the Cougars held an 18-12 edge.
