IV. Acceptance of June 15, 2011 Meeting Minutes
Motion to accept minutes made by Brink, seconded by Galt. Motion approved.
V. Additions or Changes to the Agenda
VI. Public Comments
VII. Director's Report
The Japanese Garden will celebrate 20 years at the Library in September. This anniversary coincides with Midland's 30 year Sister City relationship with Handa, Japan. Representatives from the city of Handa will be visiting in October. From now until October, volunteers and staff will be working on the garden to prepare it for the visit.
Barnard explained that a tax reform law has been passed that eliminates the Michigan tax credit for charitable contributions to public libraries beginning in 2012. Donations to the library will be eligible for this state credit if they are received by December 31, 2011.
The library will be closed Monday, September 5th in observance of Labor Day. Sunday hours resume on September 11th.
Galt offered the Board's assistance with the sister city visit. Phillips asked about gifts we had given to Handa, Japan. Barnard explained that many of the gifts that have been received from Handa are on display at the Library.
Galt noted the decrease in adult circulation statistics. There is no easy explanation for the decrease. Staff is looking at ways to improve circulation as well as determining what collection areas are experiencing the decrease.
Brink asked if the Friends donation is similar to last year's donation. Barnard responded that it is very close to the same amount.
VIII. Patron Compliments and Concerns
1. This is the most impressive library that I have ever been to. The children's area is dynamic, the activities and community events are superb. Thanks!
2. You are charging me $1.00 because I don't have my library card with me? My gifts to the foundations that give you millions will hear about this as well. This is no service to our community…be real!!!
The library is funded primarily by property taxes paid to the City of Midland. Users are encouraged to use their library cards for more efficient service.
3. I think it would be wonderful to bless your patrons with a free movie on their birthday. Thank you!
The library does not plan to offer this service at this time.
4. Thank you for the gift certificate and I used the library as a cooling center during the "hot week" and almost daily.
Participants in the summer reading program for adults were entered into weekly drawings for gift certificates. The certificates were provided by the Friends of the Library.
5. I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all the wonderful services available for children at the library. My daughter has been a faithful attendee of baby time, toddler time, and now circle time and we couldn't be more thrilled with the quality of the programs, the professionalism of the staff, and just how excited she is every time she gets to attend! I also wanted to express my appreciation for the small toilet and sink in the bathrooms downstairs; we started potty training last week and it was a relief to me when my daughter had to use the toilet and there was one available that was just her size. I know that might be an odd thing to be thankful for, but as they say, it truly is the little things that count. Thank you for your hard work; we are a very lucky community to have such a nice facility and qualified staff available to us.
1. What happened to kids being taught to whisper in the library? I think the librarians could do a better job in children's area of policing this. The noise was unacceptable.
The summer is very busy in the Youth Services area with many more children than at other times. Parents and children talking aloud in the Youth Services area is acceptable behavior. Quiet areas are available on the first floor.
2. Can't read descriptions on books or CD because bar code and address sticker cover. Very limited choices in CD books. Baskets should be for library use only. Tired of all the "British" authors, actually never liked at all.
The address sticker is being relocated. Baskets may be used in the library but are also available for check out.
3. You should allow snacks!
Snacks are allowed in the Cup and Chaucer Coffee Bar.
1. My husband and I frequent this library often – we are not thrilled by the fact that we now have to remember when books are due/save the receipt. The system of stamping seems and is better for us. I can't believe not stamping saves time/money as we were told.
2. I saw the signs that the date due stickers are being discontinued due to complaints that stickers cover descriptions of material content. In my opinion, it is the bar code and library address sticker that cover the relevant info. Please move those.
3. Heard the stickers with date stamps were going away. Please reconsider, this is the easiest way to see when a book is due, the little receipt is easily lost!
4. Bring back the date stamps, please!!
5. Would like to be able to stamp my books with a date.
6. Don't get rid of the due date stamps please! I can't keep track of the receipts. Maybe put sticker in a different place.
7. I would like to suggest that when we check out a book, the stamp with the date due could be put on the same piece of paper that's been on the back of each book, only put it on the inside flap of the front cover or on the back flap (on inside).
8. Unhappy with new policy removing the date due sticker.
9. I would like to have the date stamps put back in use. It is much easier to keep track of due dates.
10. I'm sorry that we won't be stamping the due dates on the backs of books that we check out. Even though I'm very comfortable using the website to look up due dates it is just handy to have the date on the book. I hope we keep the stickers so that I can write the due date on myself in pencil.
11. I don't feel that significant information is covered up with the time/date labels. Not all people have computer access, and print out sheets can and do get lost. Please reinstate!
12. I like the idea of not putting due date stickers on the outside back cover, but how about using those old rectangular paper gridded forms on the inside front or back cover to stamp due dates. I lose and/or forget to check the register slip.
13. Thank you for getting rid of the extra stamping and paperwork. Good job!!
14. Today I borrowed three books from the library and learned that there is no date-stamping of library materials. I have no problem with that action, since once-in-a-great-while I was definitely irritated by the sticker covering information on a CD. I don't even have a problem that the rubber stamps are not provided, although that would certainly be helpful for my request (this e-mail) for blank labels on the inside-front-cover. It is of significant concern to me if a customer cannot write the due date themselves on a blank label that could be maintained on the inside-front-cover of books. Do you REALLY expect customers to keep track of ONE small piece of paper for x or xx books? If so, I very strongly disagree. THAT is NOT a good way to help books get returned on time. THAT is going in a WRONG direction for the management of the return of books by customers. Logically, some people will resort to writing the date on the inside front cover or front page with either pencil or pen. That could potentially lead to an occasional damaged book. All three paperback books that I borrowed today have blank pages for the inside cover. Please maintain a blank label on those books so that the library customer can record their due date. If and when a customer noticed at the library that a label was full, the person at the check-out area could apply a new one ... to help ensure that the label was applied on the inside. If a book had a cover on it, then the label could simply be placed in another location, whether inside the front cover or on the next surface (the next "page"). I would greatly appreciate action be taken on my request.
1. I am so happy to have you remove the papers covering the backs of paperbacks.
2. The date stamp was a very nice courtesy, but I guess good manners are a thing of the past at the library.
3. Where is the date stamp?
4. Two seconds to flip over a book; five minutes to get phone book, dial number and wait for someone to look up a due date. Please keep stamps somewhere on the book!
Eleven comments received from same person not supporting change.
All of the comments about the due date stamping are appreciated. Positive verbal comments have outnumbered the negative responses. Most library patrons have been very cooperative about the change.
IX. Old Business
a. Board/Community Communications
Burhans commented that the Harry Potter Hoopla created a lot of excitement in the community. Peterson commented on all of the newspaper coverage of this summer's events.
Peterson expressed gratitude to Galt for serving as Chair over the last two years.
b. Mid-Michigan Library Cooperative Report
The next meeting is in September. Barnard stated that no one has come forward to serve as the representative for the MMLC Board. Cronin volunteered to serve as representative. Burhans offered to be the alternate representative in the event that Cronin cannot attend and it is acceptable to the Cooperative. There are three meetings per year and the term would run until September 30, 2012. Brink moved that upon approval from the cooperative director, Cronin will serve as representative with Burhans as the alternate, seconded by Phillips. Motion approved. Barnard will inform Cronin of the date of the next MMLC Board meeting.
c. Library Board 2010-11 Annual Report
Phillips asked for input on the Annual Report draft that was distributed to the Board. Phillips will send the revised annual report with corrections to Barnard who will prepare the annual report for the City Council meeting in September. A motion to accept the draft with corrections as the Library Board's annual report for 2010-2011 was made by Galt and seconded by Cronin. Motion approved.
X. New Business
a. Board Meeting Dates 2012
Galt reminded the Board that with the change to seven meetings per year members can only miss two meetings per year. The Board seat is automatically vacated if there is a third absence. Brink moved to accept the 2012 Board meeting dates as written, seconded by Burhans. Galt requested discussion on the November date which falls on the evening before Thanksgiving. The first motion was voted on and declined. A new motion to accept the 2012 dates with September replacing November was made by Brink, seconded by Peterson. Motion approved.
b. Library Strategic Plan 2011-12

I am trying to parse through an HTML page which simplified looks like this:
<div class="anotherclass part"

£3.99

1 Feb 2013

A title

A, List, Of, Terms, To, Extract - 1 Feb 2013

I am a beginner at coding python and I have read and re-read the beautifulsoup documentation at http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/bs3/documentation.html
I have got this code:
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
with open("file.html") as fp:
html = fp.read()
soup = BeautifulSoup(html)
parts = soup.findAll('a', attrs={"class":re.compile('part'), re.IGNORECASE} )
for part in parts:
# ghi
mypart['ghi'] = part.find(attrs={"class": re.compile('ghi')} ).string
# def
mypart['def'] = part.find(attrs={"class": re.compile('def')} ).string
# h4
mypart['title'] = part.find('h4').string
# jkl
mypart['other'] = part.find('p').string
# abc
pattern = re.compile( r'\&\#163\;(\d{1,}\.?\d{2}?)' )
theprices = re.findall( pattern, str(part) )
if len(theprices) == 2:
mypart['price'] = theprices[1]
mypart['rrp'] = theprices[0]
elif len(theprices) == 1:
mypart['price'] = theprices[0]
mypart['rrp'] = theprices[0]
mypart['price'] = None
mypart['rrp'] = None
I want to extract any text from the classes
def and
ghi which I think my script does correctly.
I also want to extract the two prices from
abc which my script does in a rather clunky fashion at the moment. Sometimes there are two prices, sometimes one and sometimes none in this part.
Finally I want to extract the
"A, List, Of, Terms, To, Extract" part from class
jkl which my script fails to do. I thought getting the string part of the
p tag would work but I cannot understand why it does not. The date in this part always matches the date in class
ghi so it should be easy to replace/remove it.
Any advice? Thank-you!

Institute of Plant Breeding: Intensifying ornamental industry through plant breeding
|Facade of the IPB office at University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB).
The Philippine ornamental industry continues to gain popularity and recognition in the country and more so abroad. The increasing demand for ornamentals has been one of the pressing issues faced by the ornamental sector today, making it self-sufficient, sustainable and diversified.
Encouragingly, there are private sectors, entrepreneurs, government institutions, and state colleges and universities that have the same goal to bring about a sustainable development in agriculture for the country. This is where the Institute of Plant Breeding (IPB) under the College of Agriculture at the University of the Philippines at Los Baños, Laguna, comes into picture. IPB is geared toward strengthening plant breeding research through development of new and improved crop varieties.
Enactment of laws
As a headstart of plant breeding in the Philippines, researches began in 1914 though improvement of rice and corn. This led to the establishment of a plant breeding division in 1945 under the Department of Agronomy of the College of Agriculture. It was in 1960 that breeding work came into full blast, which included more crops.
Presidential Decree (PD) 729 issued on 5 June 1975 created the IPB under the College of Agriculture in UPLB. PD 729 recognized the importance of modern plant breeding requiring closer collaboration among plant breeders and scientists. IPB also envisions the need for a strong research and administrative staff and excellent facilities.
Two years later, another Presidential Decree, PD 1046-A established the National Plant Genetic Resources Laboratory (NPGRL) within IPB. The laboratory served as the national center for germplasm collection and maintenance of important and potentially useful agricultural crops.
And by virtue of Republic Act (RA) 7308, otherwise known as the Seed Industry Development Act of 1992, IPB was also identified as the lead agency for crop biotechnology research.
IPB at front
Since then, IPB has been at the forefront of plant breeding research and applications in the country. Now, Dr. Jose E. Hernandez serves as the director of IPB and concurrent director of the Crop Science Cluster.
IPB serves to: (1) develop new and improved varieties of important agricultural crops; (2) undertake studies in plant breeding and allied disciplines related to crop improvement; (3) systematically collect, introduce, preserve, and maintain a germplasm bank of important and potentially useful agricultural and horticultural crops; and (4) assist other agencies in the multiplication of quality seeds and vegetative materials of recommended crop varieties. They likewise ensure availability of the varieties to small farmers.
Facing new demands for research breeding, IPB has classified its major programs into five categories, namely: germplasm collection and conservation, varietal improvement, crop biotechnology, seed multiplication, and seed and technology dissemination.
Ornamentals are considered among the priority crops of IPB, which include cereals, legumes, vegetables, fruit crops, root crops, industrial crops, and special crops. IPB now has a wide collection of germplasm that utilizes its collection for evaluation and distribution of important and potentially useful agricultural crops. The collection ensures biodiversity, making traditional and wild varieties readily available for breeding new improved varieties.
At present, the Institute maintains more than 43,000 accessions of about 500 species. The National Seed Industry Council (NSIC) and the IPB-Germplasm Registration and Release Office have approved more than 100 varieties developed by the Institute. The varieties are planted by farmers and growers nationwide under the national programs for increased crop production.
Plant breeding research also focuses on breeding crops, resulting in improved varieties in terms of quality, yield, and pest and disease resistance to include other abiotic stresses. More so high quality breeder and foundation seeds, seedlings, vegetative planting materials, and asexually propagated fruit trees are being propagated. These include crop varieties that have been developed through tissue culture technique.
IPB's work on ornamentals
As among the priority crops of IPB, new and promising ornamental varieties, specifically the Mussaendas, Hibiscus and the Hoyas, have been the subject of research.
Cutflowers (fresh buds that have been cut from the plant), foliage, and other plants fresh (foliage and branches of trees, shrubs, bushes and other plants) or dried, and live plants comprise the ornamentals. Live plants include palms, trees, shrubs, and bushes. For dried ornamentals, dyes and bleaches are used in plant materials of fruits, grasses, eucalyptus, and ferns.
One of the promising contributions of the Institute is the release of Hibiscus varieties the "Centennial", "Millennium", "Star", and the "Oblation" Series.
In recognition of the Centennial year celebration of Philippine Independence, IPB has released the "Centennial" Series in recognition of Philippine heroines. Eleven Hibiscus varieties have been released in yellow tone colors (Oryang, Marcela, and Nay Isa), orange tone colors (Lolay, Ningning, and Heneral Aqueda) and red tone colors (Gabriela, Goria, and Sentenarya). The Tandang Sora is the only white tone color variety. The Hibiscus varieties are characterized by their single-petal and that can be easily propagated by cutting.
Also, IPB has released the Hibiscus "Millenium" popular for the single-petalled and very prolific bloomers. This served as a tribute to UPLB women scientists for their significant contribution to the advancement of Philippine Agriculture. Scientists given recognition were Drs. Claire Baltazar, Dolores Ramirez, Gelia Castillo, and Emerita de Guzman. The hybrids were in yellow tone colors. Red tone varieties were named after Millennia and Obdulia Sision while the two-tone color after Helen Valmayor.
The "Star" Series are the "Megastar", "Diamond star", "Superstar", "Star for all Seasons", and "Novastar". The "Oblation" Series were named after UP President Emerlinda Roman, DOST Secretary Estrella Alabastro, and UP Board of Regent Nelia Gonzales.
The potted mussaenda is one project of the Institute coordinated with the Bureau of Agricultural Resarch (BAR). The study on the Development of Colored Multi-Petaloid Mussaendas Suited for Potted Ornamentals, conducted by Dr. Simeona V. Siar, aimed to develop indigenous ornamentals such as Mussaenda as substitute and alternative to the traditional and introduced potted ornamentals such as poinsettias and chrysanthemum. This included: (1) hybridization and development of outstanding plants; and (2) evaluation and mass propagation of outstanding plants. To date, 513 seedlings have been generated from hybrids and open-pollinated cultivars with outstanding varieties being mass-propagated for varietal release and registration and eventual distribution to ornamental growers and enthusiasts.
The project is under the Ornamental RDE Program of the Department of Agriculture closely working on the ornamentals. This is under the High-Impact projects.
IPB also introduced the Philippine endemic and indigenous "Hoya" species as potential export ornamental through studies conducted by Dr. Siar. This showed great potential in the world market. "Hoya" is characterized as "wax plants because of the waxy leaf texture". New species of Hoya was named after Dr. Siar, Hoya siariae.
Philippine Hoya has gained recognition abroad. In fact, at the Flora Conference on Sustainable Floriculture Industry in Asia, Dr. Siar presented the export potential of the Philippine Hoyas.
As an Institute for plant breeding researches, IPB has served the ornamental industry, making the Philippines known even in other countries, setting new trends and breakthroughs in ornamental production. As an ending quote, the institute states that "IPB breeds crops for a healthy, food-secured and globally competitive Philippines."

I personally am too big of a chicken to make predictions. Mine would be very generic like:
- Video is going to be even more important in the next year.
- Written blogging is not going to stop.
Building up a presence on YouTube give readers a new way to connect with you, provides a chance for brands to see you in action, and brings your content to a new audience (albeit one with a lot of stupid comments).
Jennifer James is another generous blogger that tells mom bloggers what they need to know and creates a community for them to help each other. She wrote 15 Mom Blogging Predictions for 2012. My favorite part of her prediction:
I am much more apt to watch a mom's video that she uploads onto Youtube than the glossy stuff that's professionally produced. … Brands have been toying with video and mom bloggers for a few years now, but 2012 will see an outbreak of video content.
I have not met Holly Pavlika but I think her 2012 Predictions For Marketing To Moms is right on. My favorite part is about….wait for it…video!
Moms are also finding that their personal channels on YouTube can turn them into web celebs, lead to book deals and make them money with the right content. Brands need to jump on the video bandwagon if they want to stay engaged with mom.
Another point Holly made that resonated with me:
She may not be an early adopter, but she is taking the digital landscape by storm while still consuming traditional media like email, TV and magazines.
So they really do talk about other things beside online video, but I love online video so that's what I focus on. Other themes I've seen a lot of in these and other posts are that
- Pinterest is huge,
- moms like mobile,
- moms also like to feel good and do good [duh!] so if the product/marketing helps with that it's better received.
- and content is still King!
P.S. For a win-win situation create video with your mobile device. I recommend the iPhone Video Hero course for further learning.


text: Has anybody else noticed that this site has been experiencing a lot of down time lately? I don't know how popular Rangefinderforum is these days in the larger realm of photo forums, but down time does not presage well for the longevity of a Web site. It seems that something has changed lately. I still like it and enjoy it myself however!

Julianne Hough knows how to keep Ryan Seacrest on his toes.
In the July issue of Glamour, the "Rock of Ages "star admits to being highly competitive with the "American Idol" host, whom she began dating in 2010. "It gets silly. Ryan and I are very alike," she explains. "When we work out with a trainer, we'll die before we stop, like, to the point where we can't breathe."
PHOTOS: Julianne Hough and Ryan Seacrest's red hot romance
Though she's 24 and he's 37, their age difference doesn't bother Hough. As for Seacrest? "He's always joking about it," Hough tells the magazine.
The two first met while Hough was engaged to childhood pal Zach Wilson, also a dancer. "He was a great guy -- I'd known him since I was 9. But I needed to figure myself out more, and so I moved to L.A. and we ended it," Hough says of Wilson. "And actually, he ended up marrying my childhood best friend, and now they have a kid together. It was a little weird when it happened, but they're a great couple!"
PHOTOS: Julianne Hough's glam red carpet evolution
The dancer-turned-actress rebounded with country music star Chuck Wicks, 32, who went on to become her partner on "Dancing With the Stars." "While we were dating, we went on Ryan's radio show together. The interview's on YouTube, and I blush when I hear it because Ryan is hitting on me the entire time! At the end, Ryan said something like, 'You guys really have something special!' And I thought to myself, 'He's so full of s--- right now!' When Chuck and I broke up, I wanted to be single. That lasted five months. Then Ryan and I went on a date."
RELATED: Check out Glamour's profile of Julianne Hough
According to Hough, she was attracted to the "similarities" she shared with Seacrest: "We both like that perfection in ourselves, and we want to make our relationship like that."
VIDEO: Ryan Seacrest proposes to Julianne Hough -- sort of
Like Seacrest, who also hosts "E! News" and continues to emcee his daily radio show, Hough is workhorse. "I'm a very anxious person. If I'm not working, I go crazy," she tells Glamour. "I've been lucky in my career. But if I lost everything tomorrow -- and had no money -- I would somehow make it work. I have that survivor mentality because of a lot of stuff that went on in a previous life. I feel like I've had four lives."

How to align your marketing for smarter demand generation and stronger ROI
Jan 27 2016
3:00 pm
45 mins
Alex Gill, senior director, Harte Hanks
B2B buying is becoming increasingly complex. The number of influencers, decision makers and stakeholders involved in the process is one driver of this. It's further compounded by today's multiplicity of marketing communications channels.
How can you master these challenges to deliver real and continuous pipeline for your products and solutions?
The secret is to align your approach to various channels, touchpoints and moments in time. Each interaction with your audience – be it customer, prospect or influencer - should be based on insight, tailored to the individual and deliver an impact.
This is 'smarter demand generation'. It's an approach that integrates data, technology, people and tactics. It leverages insight to improve targeting and messaging, and it's optimised to deliver real, measurable impact to your pipeline.
This webinar will outline practical tips on achieving smarter demand generation. It will enable you to:
•Gain insights into the changing approach of B2B organisations when buying products/solutions
•Learn how to design and execute demand generation that delivers results in this new buying paradigm
•Encompass both digital and human interactions, aligning demand generation to the way buyers educate themselves, learn about solutions and ultimately select their vendors
•Understand the pitfalls to avoid
•Plan the steps needed to improve your own marketing and sales for smarter demand generation

Webinar: Metrics matter – Beyond the essentials
Nov 25 2015
37 mins
Skip Fidura, client services director
According to Econsultancy's 2014 email marketing census, 36 per cent of marketers cite poor measurement and analytics as barriers to effective email marketing. They know that the right metrics will drive the right business results but while the essential metrics (delivered, opened, clicked or click to open) have served us well, they are not necessarily the ultimate measure over a period of time.
In this webinar Skip Fidura of dotmailer takes a look at:
How marketers can measure engagement though 'click and open reach' and 'dwell (or read) time'.
The term 'the halo effect', how it can be measured and how it's in line with multichannel marketing measurement.
The 'post click funnel' metric and making sure your campaign assessment isn't incomplete.
How to examine your 'time of action' which will drive tests and improvements.

Marketing Automation – are we there yet?
Oct 29 2015
45 mins
Niall Habba, managing director, The Telemarketing Company
Since it was heralded as 'the next big thing', the pros and cons of marketing automation have been debated at length. Data available suggests adoption rates have increased significantly but this is restricted to larger organisations and varies dramatically from industry to industry, so the overall picture is unclear. Direct feedback from our clients and our own research raise queries around the success of MA adoption, and the value of digital sources in generating revenue (marketers surveyed stated that 76 per cent of revenue is still generated through non-digital means).
It seems there may still be some way to go before we reach the holy grail of automated multichannel actions improving lead conversion rates and reducing the sales cycle, leading to increased revenue. This webinar will look at where we are today, what is still to do and how human interaction can help fill the gaps in realising the full potential of marketing automation.

Webinar: Lifting the lid on B2B buyers – what they really do in the buying proce
Mar 2 2015
47 mins
John Bottom, head of demand generation, Base One
The B2B buying process can be long and complex. But if marketers want to be successful, they need to understand what buyers really do to arrive at their final decision. What kind of information do they seek? And where do they get it from? And who does the buying – how do the different parts of the decision-making unit interact? Do B2B buyers use social media? And what are the characteristics of the suppliers they choose – as opposed to the also-rans who missed out?
This presentation looks into findings from the recent Buyersphere Report and raises a number of fascinating points that will both interest and inform B2B marketers who want to understand their target markets more fully.
More specifically, the session will cover:
-B2B buyers' description of their 'perfect' supplier
-Insight into content preferences
-Analysis of channels used to gather information
-The composition of the buying team, including involvement of C-level
-Tips on how to engage buyers during the buying cycle

How to avoid falling foul of the new EU data rules
Sep 24 2014
59 mins
Graham Smith, Marketing Director, SCi Sales Group & Ben Turner, Sales Director, Institute of Sales & Marketing Manageme
This webinar shows you how to combat the new EU Data Regulation (EUDR), which is due in 2015 and enforceable 2 years later (with huge fines if you break the rules).
The EUDR changes direct selling from a broadly opt-out system to an opt-in rule. You'll need 'explicit consent' from each individual to collect, store and use their personal data for sales & marketing. This includes contact details such as phone number, email address and even job title.
The webinar discusses the main points of the new legislation and how they could affect your organisation. Plus we'll tell you how to ensure your ability to sell survives after the EUDR and reveal unique research on marketing opt-in.

Tom Head, Director, Lab (Digital Agency)
B2B buyers are changing the way they buy.
Recent B2B Marketing research shows they use a wide range of digital channels to thoroughly research their purchases.
So B2B brands need to ensure their most important 'shop window' – their web site and digital channels – do more to feed the need for information. Marketers need to ensure all channels such as mobile and social are integrated and also start to see digital as a major source of future sales revenue.

You'll learn:

• How to integrate your sales and marketing activities with your
digital strategy
• Why your website and digital channels are so important in terms

May 29 2014
35 mins
John Bottom, Co-founder and Director, Base One
Good content is a precious resource. It is the essential fuel that drives the marketing engine for most B2B brands.
The best place to find content is within the company, But the reason that marketers are talking more and more about content fracking is that they know much of the best material – the best expertise, the most valuable knowledge and experience – lies deep within the organisation. And getting it out to the surface is no easy task.
This webinar explains the key principles of "content fracking" – 12 tips to help you unearth new sources of high-quality content. Fracking may be a controversial term for the oil companies – but it's a practice that is helping marketers to do better content marketing for less!

Family time is so important. It cannot be replaced. What do you do as a family? Is it meaningful?
This summer, I tried to make the most of my time off with my daughter. We did swimming lessons, played soccer, had play dates, went to the beach, and even went to amusement parks.
But maybe the best, most educational activity my daughter and I shared was also the cheapest-actually free. It was story time at the library. ...

Tim enters a Dairy Queen and sees Mike sitting in a booth eating an M&M Blizzard. He goes over and the two exchange the obligatory "what's up", after which Tim takes out a DVD of "Invasion of Astro-Monster" from his faded black messenger bag and hands it over to Mike.
Tim – Thanks for this
Mike – Oh, so you finally got around to watching it, what did you think?.
Tim – Well it definitely was campy like you said it would be, but I thought it was weird that they brought Ghidorah back.
Mike – Yeah I know, it's almost the same movie as "Ghidorah The Three Headed Monster" except done Sci-fi style.
Tim – Also Godzilla is much more aggressive in "Ghidorah", in "Invasion of Astro-Monster" he does that weird dance and takes that boxing stance while fighting, it made me laugh but at the same time annoyed cause Godzilla isn't like that.
Mike – Yeah I know right, I mean it seriously cracked me up when I saw that but then I was like what the Hell that not how Godzilla is supposed to be.
Tim – The Special effects were pretty cool, especially when they haul Godzilla and Rodan into space.
Mike – Yeah, the models were really realistic too…did you check out any of the extras on the DVD?
Tim – Yeah, that mini-doc on..on what's his name, uh..Tomo, Tomo
Mike – Tomoyuki Tanaka
Tim – Yeah (enunciates slowly) T-O-M-O-Y-U-K-I T-A-N-A-K-A, ever wonder if Asians think our names sound funny?
Mike – They probably do, I always wanted to know what the name Godzilla means.
Tim – Never thought of that, why? Thinking of changing your name?
Mike – (Laughing) That would be pretty damn cool I'll have to look into that.
Tim – (Grinning) Definitely Godzilla Schlesinger has a great ring to it.
Mike – Ha, point taken…so what did you think of that documentary?
Tim – Interesting, but thank God it was short cause they way it looked reminded me a little of watching one of those educational programs at school.
Mike – Except that if they were showing us stuff about Godzilla in school I would have paid more attention…
Tim – Same thing with the commentary, I mean that guy talking definitely knew his shit about Godzilla and Asian films but it sounded like he was reading a report or something.
Mike – You mean all those awkward pauses? Yeah, I thought that was weird too, but you know how much I LOVE Godzilla movies so I eat that DVD extra shit up.
Tim – Oh I know Godzilla Schlesinger, c'mon lets head over to the theatre, I want a good seat.
Mike – You know I heard "Transformers" doesn't have much story just good effects.
Tim – Doesn't surprise me, Michael Bay directed it, but hey nothing wrong with seeing good explosions for two hours.
Mike – Whatever, as long as he didn't change too much of the original storyline…
Tim – Hey, you have any other good monster films? I mean "Invasion of Astro-Monster" was good but I'm glad I didn't have to rent it.

Orangetown Supervisor Andy Stewart, right, with members of the Town Board. Stewart said Tuesday night March 12, 2013 that there is no truth to the rumors that the town is planning to close the German Masonic Park in Tappan. Alex Taylor/The Journal News
- Filed Under
Supervisor Andy Stewart tried to reassure an overflow crowd at Town Hall Tuesday night that the town has no plans to close German Masonic Park.
The big turnout was sparked by widespread, unconfirmed reports on Facebook that town officials, in particular, Stewart, were trying to shut the popular, 7-acre fairground at 89 Western Highway in Tappan because of complaints from neighbors.
Speaking to a crowd wearing sweatshirts and jackets bearing the insignia of the Tappan Fire Department, the Blauvelt Sons of Italy and the Nam Knights, three local groups that hold annual events in the park, ...

Barcelona Based Hey Studio's 'Oh My God' SeriesIllustration // Friday, 22 Nov 2013
Hey Studio, based in Barcelona, presents 'Oh My God'. The characters, created very geometrically with clean lines and a minimal color palette, sees Gods and mythical beasties in a more design-envisioned way.
"In ancient Greece they had something better than superheroes," comments the studio. "They had gods – each with their own powers, weaknesses, history and followers. Jupiter and Mars came, Jesus and Mohammed, Buddha and Elvis. 2,500 years later, they return to claim their place and remind us that there is nothing more dangerous than believed immortality."

TRENTON — A South Jersey doctor was sentenced to two years in federal prison for charging Medicare for house calls she claimed were longer than they actually were.
Lori Reaves, 52, of Waterford Works received her sentence Thursday. She also was ordered to pay restitution.
Reaves previously pleaded guilty to one count of health care fraud, admitting she inflated how much time she spent seeing patients through her Hammonton-based practice, Visiting Physicians of South Jersey.
Authorities said she brought in more than $500,000 in the scheme and that she was the highest billing home care provider among New Jerseys 24,000 doctors between January 2008 and October 2011.

While we seek to teach your children about God, we know that no one has more influence on your child than you, the parent! We want to partner with you to help them learn more about their Heavenly Father. We want to support and guide you as you raise your child to know what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
The curriculum we use is called First Look. First impressions are important. That's why First Look curriculum is designed to give preschool children a first impression of their loving Heavenly Father. The curriculum keeps it simple and fun, repeating one basic truth about God all month long. First Look also helps children understand worship and introduces them to small group time. It encourages children to talk to God any time at any place.
The activities tickle all the senses making mastering the concepts a blast. Crazy fun activities to crafts to Bible story and worship, it's all part of the plan to help a child believe three key things by the time they are five years old:
- God made me
- God loves me
- Jesus wants to be my friend forever
But all the simple fun of First Look means little if it's not reinforced at home. That's why we provide activity ideas and conversation starters for parents to use with their children at home using the Small Talk cards.
A Small Talk card is also handed out with your child's craft when you pick them up after service. On the front is the current week Bible story and remember verse. On the back are suggestions to help you to discuss what they learned and help apply it to their daily life. You are the best teacher for your children, so use the activities to talk about God with them all week at home.
If you missed the Small Talk card, click the tab 'This Month'.
Parenting can be a challenge and at times parents need encouragement, wisdom and guidance. Click the link below to connect you to orangeparents.org to read blogs and listen to podcasts on a variety of parenting subjects.

Symetrix SolusSymetrix introduces Solus, which couples SymNet processing with fixed input/output counts. 6/08/2011 11:49 AM Eastern
Symetrix Solus
Jun 8, 2011 3:49 PM
Symetrix introduces Solus, which couples open-architecture SymNet processing with cost-saving fixed input/output counts for small to mid-sized installations. With the easy-to-use SymNet Designer software, integrators can either use or modify the dozens of existing Solus templates or build entirely new designs from scratch. Currently, there are two Solus hardware units that differ only in their input and output counts. Solus 4 has four mic/line (plus phantom) inputs and four outputs, whereas Solus 8 has eight mic/line (plus phantom) inputs and eight outputs. Unlike other members of the SymNet family, the Solus processors forego input/output expansion in favor of reduced cost. Each version includes Ethernet, ARC port, RS-232 port, two control inputs, and four logic outputs.

Alaska Issues Guide For Energy Goals
NAW Staff, Thursday 22 January 2009 - 10:37:19
Alaska energy coordinator Steve Haagenson and the Alaska Energy Authority have released a comprehensive guide that calls for obtaining half of the state's electricity from renewable resources by 2025.
The guide, "Alaska Energy - A First Step Toward Energy Independence," identifies energy options for communities across the state. It also identifies and prioritizes energy projects, puts into place legal and government structures needed to allow them to move forward and identifies potential funding sources.
"While lower crude oil prices are reducing the costs of energy today, we must remain committed to achieving energy security for our future economic well-being," says Gov. Sarah Palin, R-Alaska.
The plan calls for Alaskans, the Legislature, local and regional governments, the University of Alaska and the private sector to work together to achieve this goal.

Recent Secret World News
I will admit I'm a bit behind in things, but it has just been a crazy little bit here lately. However, there was some cool news coming out recently for the Secret World that you might have already seen, but I at least wanted to put my spin on it.
There was an interesting discussion on the forums regarding guns and ammo. I'm happy that they're taking this idea seriously and since they don't have a solution they like, for now ammo will not be in the game. I also love the quote "in the hands of a Secret Worlder it [gun] becomes a weapon of mass destruction!"
Funcom also released their Forums Journal which pretty much recaps the month of September. One of the main portions I wanted to point out was the section at the bottom talking about the various society Cabals.
MMORPG.com has a Developer Diary from Senior Producer Ragnar Tornquist talking about Storytelling:
- Every key mission begins with a fully voiced and motion captured cinematic and the cut-scenes will also contain clues. Outside of the main story missions, you can run missions in any order which allows you to choose how you experience the story.
- Pieces of the story, Lore, will be littered all over the world and there will be rewards for those who find large pieces of the back-story.
- Interactions with NPCs will relate to what the character has already done, so depending on when you talk to an NPC they may tell you more or less about what's going on. While this does sound cool, my only concern would be there may be some optimal path.
- Everything in the game relates to this story, and all those pieces will contribute to helping to solve this jigsaw puzzle, including:
- monsters
- player powers
- weapons
- magical school
I have a feeling that all these pieces will cause conspiracy theorists to go absolutely crazy as they'll look at every little detail in about 50 different ways trying to unravel things. I'm hoping these puzzles are challenging, but I'm also expecting some sort of balance or alternate way of solving the problems.
PCGamer has a cool preview/interview with Ragnar and they cover a number of topics, but the highlight for me is the discussion on quests. There will be different types:
- Action missions which are more like typical mmo quests
- Sabotage missions which sound like combination of action and puzzle solving
- Investigation missions are essentially puzzle missions where you have to basically solve a problem or try to fully understand what some priest of fortune teller is talking about. These will weave in common knowledge and puzzles as well as things you might find by popping off to a web site.
Quests are the corner stone of MMO's and I'm excited by the various options and a chance to have to think while playing.
Finally, today MMORPG.com has a column from Managing Editor Bill Murphy explaining the Illuminati, which explains the history and methodologies behind the society. While I've pretty much already made up my mind on which society I'm joining (Templars), it is cool to get backgrounds on these as well as where Funcom's perspective on where these societies are coming from.

Houston police arrested two men accused of driving drunk in southeast Houston Thursday night, investigators said.
They said a patrol unit part of a DWI unit was just starting his shift around 11:30 p.m. when a driver hit his car near the intersection of the Gulf Freeway Feeder Road and Park Place.
"There was an individual driving a Hyundai Genesis driving south bound on the service road. He ran the red light and struck my DWI unit," Steve Sorge with the Houston Police Department said.
Sorge said while a second unit assisted on scene giving the driver a field sobriety test, a second officer was nearly hit and run off the road by another suspected drunken driver.
Police were able to pull that second driver over.
They said both men failed their field sobriety tests and were arrested on scene.
Police said since this is a holiday weekend, they will be out in full force looking for drunken drivers.
"I just want to remind everybody to designate a driver or taxi cab. Don't come out here and drive drunk because we are looking to get you off the streets," Sorge said.
This is a "no refusal weekend" on Texas roads, that means you have to submit to DWI testing if you're pulled over.
