One particular incident was about a box of photos we had found. Of course, none of these photos had any identification which makes things interesting, to say the least. Every time we would take a break or after meals, we would spread the pics out on the kitchen table and try to identify the person, place or thing in the photo.
This went on for several days with no luck on positive identification for any of the photos. Many of the places and faces looked familiar but we weren't sure enough for a positive I.D. After several days of head scratching and guessing a friend of my grandmothers stopped by to see how we were doing. She noticed the photos spread all over the table and asked what we were doing. We explained that we had found this box and that none had been written on or identified and we were trying to figure them out. She looked at the box laying beside the table and asked where we had found the photos. We told her that we had found them in the antique buffet in the formal dining room. She reared her head back and laughed so hard she almost made herself sick. She began to explain where the pics had come from.
She and my grandmother would go to auctions and estate sales all over southeast Kansas, northeast Oklahoma and southwest Missouri and purchase things that caught their eye. It seems that the buffet, that my grandmother had purchased in Joplin, Missouri, had this box of photos in one of the drawers and was not discovered until later as they were cleaning it up to be placed in the house. She had always meant to return the box of photos to the auction company to see if they could find the owners but always forgot to take them with her when she went on later buying trips.
The moral of the story is to not get upset about not being able to identify persons, places or things in old photos you have found in a deceased relatives possesion. They may just not have been able to get them back to their rightful owner. Fortunately, we did get them back to the auction company and they got them back to the right family. This was some 30 odd years after the fact.

As we all know environment accounting is one of the current hot topics globally. One of my vast network of contacts recently pointed me in the direction of this document on PartnerSource on Environmental Management Accounting Implementation Guidance for GP. It contains suggestions to help your company get started in using Dynamics GP to enable you to practise environmental management accounting.
There are a number of suggestions covering:
And my favourite is the use of Extender (as it's also one of my favourite modules!) due to the flexibility it offers you can track what you want against whatever transaction you want.
If you don't know about Extender yet and its capabilities then have a look as its a fabulous tool.
Here are a couple of links to get you started!

Come see us on Ecrater as well where we have more than just patterns! You can order made to order items and pre-made items too!
I have a wonderful and loving husband and many, many fur babies (and a couple scaly and a few finned and feathered). I've never been one to conform to what most people would call normal, but I try my best to have fun and enjoy what I do always! I am a tom girl and a girly girl all rolled up into one....why should everyone else have all the fun? It's no fun if you can't get dirty in the process! (Me? I love to play in the dirt and be outside. Mud always washes off!)
I have been doing embroidery, cross stitch, quilting and all sorts of crafty things since I was 7 years old. I am now 31 (2011) and needed to do something that I enjoyed doing for once, so my business here was born! I love to cross stitch and quilt the most I would imagine out of all the things that I do (and I do many LOL) and what better way to combine my two loves of stitching!
My business is my way of putting my stamp on the world, in my own way of course! I hope everyone enjoys stitching my charts as much as I did creating them!
How will you put your stamp on the world? ;)
As always we've fully written out our pattern so that anyone can read and follow it along for the ultimate ease of use!
I created this pattern out of my hubby's love of the ribbed look and because he doesn't like to wear normal gloves. He loves these gloves and wears them all the time now!
For his adult men's gloves shown here, we used approximately 7 ounces of worsted weight yarn.
We hope you enjoy stitching our creation as much as we did creating it! Happy Stitching!

If you want a good insight into all this read Carlton Leach's book Muscle, I'm well aware that like the average 'hardman' book he probably bends the truth here and there but it seems fairly honest for the most part, he doesn't make himself out to be some invincible street fighting machine or pretends that he was an international criminal or anything like that, it's mostly just stories about what happened around the time The Es*** Boys were all running wild full of Steroids and any recreational drug they could get their hands on.
And it has a few chapters about Benn too.
Decent read, if your interested in this kinda stuff.
Leach is a bull****ter mate.Him and Tucker were so terrified of going to the garage that I don't doubt for a second both would have sold their kids' eyes to stay out.
And Tucker should've been got much sooner for that disgraceful barnet!
Tate should've took the clippers to that midden of a haircut purely out of embarrassment for being seen with Tucker.

I don't know why but the SEO plugin is causing 404 errors on my posts. it's 100% the culprit but I don't know why.
any ideas?
I don't know why but the SEO plugin is causing 404 errors on my posts. it's 100% the culprit but I don't know why.
any ideas?
Since I've updated in the end of June (it was a major change for this plugin), I started to see 404 errors in Google webmaster tools. It's look like this :
They all started with "search" and finishing with "page #/
My "Noindex subpages of archives" was checked.
Is anybody has an idea what is it?
I'm getting this as well. Deactivated all plugins and just ran my site with WordPress SEO and I get 404s on all category archive pages. Deactivated Yoast's plugin for the time being.
This is my site: http://www.barbadospropertylist.com/ (WordPress SEO deactivated)
Weird, seem to have fixed it by turning "Strip the category base (usually /category/) from the category URL." off and on.
Reactivated the plugin now, and monitoring it closely.
I have had a number of issues with Yoast's SEO plugin (which I normally LOVE - it's always been great) since updating from WordPress 3.3 to 3.4, 3.4.1.
I am now at WordPress v3.4.1 with WordPress SEO v1.2.5. The issue started after updating to WP v3.4.1 (as far as I can tell.) What happens is the "Strip the category base (usually /category/) from the category URL." function is causing 404s on all category pages. The way I've temporarily fixed it is by returning to the WordPress SEO > Permalinks page and hitting "Save Settings" to re-submit the "Strip the category base (usually /category/) from the category URL." function. The problem with this fix is every time I edit a page, post, category, or other type of content I must return to that page and hit "Save Settings".
This beginning to get exhausting and my site SEO PRO has been nearly de-indexed from google because of the number of 404s produced by this issue. I am afraid that if this isn't fixed soon my site may be blacklisted.
@Yoast - PLEASE fix this as soon as you can. I appreciate all your hard work and I love your plugins. I've donated several times and I just cant let my site go under. I'm the president of an SEO company and I exclusively use your plugin for myself and all my clients. Everything has gone haywire.... Please help. Thanks in advance.
I didn't "strip" the category, but getting this 404 errors:
I don't understand why is "search"?
My site is big http://www.mobileadmiral.com and it's not easy to find a good sitemap plugin.
Same here Yoast, I had to change the settings back to NOT stripping the category base. All of my cat archive pages had 404'd ... I believe that was the only damage done. I too have donated and LOVE your plugin, but PLEASE fix this :)
You guys still experiencing problems?
Yes, I have the same search/3rd2525252252525252525252525252525252525252Bgeneration/page/2/
404 pages groving every day.
We are having same issue. The "Strip category base" is enabled but not functioning properly. Its causing 404s site wide.
The temporary fix is to go back to the WPSEO Permalinks page and hit "Save". For some reason, the settings dont stay saved if other changes are made.
This seems to be a critical bug based on everyone's feedback and the impact on our site.
Otherwise we love you guys!
I did it several times, but still getting errors with this "search" in the beginning.
Is anyone had somehow to contact Yoast?
I have to say that since deactivating all plugins, reactivating, turning "strip category base" off and on and setting permalinks a few times the problem has gone away on my site.
I did the same several times, it didn't help. I think, I have to find a different one, because my 404 errors doubled
This seem to be a thread close enough to my problem. Would prefer not to start a new one. Better if we add it up so Yoast sees it :)
Before using Yoast WordPress SEO I used another SEO-plugin together with a dedicated sitemap plugin. Since Yoast has both SEO and Sitemap I deinstalled the other one.
I was very happy to see the "Strip category base" setting. I don't see the reason to have "category", especially since my site is in swedish. Anyway, I activated XML-sitemap and went to bed. The next day I was randomly browsing my site and realised all my categories had a 404. Panic! But saving the settings again solved it.
It's not until just now I figured out how it works. Whenever I press "Save Settings" in XML-sitemap the category base comes back. I have no idea what relation they have but at least I figured out what caused it. Hopefully there's a fix to this soon as I'm getting a bit paranoid when I'm using the plugin now. Everytime I save I have to check the site to see if it's broken.
The site is here - http://rabattkodish.se/
If you see a broken category, please tell me :)
All the best!
Hi Guys,
Getting the same error -
Everything was working fine just before updating Yoast WordPress SEO plugin version 1.2.4 to 1.2.5 I had enabled strip category in previous version. Now after updating to latest version it is causing error category permalink wrong redirection.
When I try to see post under category, it is redirecting me to some particular post and some category is showing 404 not found error.
My website URL - http://www.techsnapr.com/
Please help me to fix this error.
Same issue here... was able to get things working again by unchecking "Enforce a trailing slash on all category and tag URL's". Otherwise all category pages went to a 404 or a post with the name of the category in the post title name.
Thank you so much for your answer.
Can you please tell me where I can find the option to uncheck "Enforce a trailing slash on all category and tag URL's". As I am using latest version of yoast SEO v1.2.5
I am unable to find this option.
Thank you so much guys,
I have resolved my problem by unchecking "Strip the category base (usually /category/) from the category URL". under permalinks settings of Yoast plugin.
Same issue here.
We use google webmaster tools and was checking a few things out then noticed the /category-sitemap.xml was giving a 404 error to google so we checked and yes it was 404.
We then logged into wordpress clicked on seo tab clicked on xml sitemap tab and just clicked on save settings to see if that would fix. It did not and then our strip catagory links where all 404 as well.
Then we clicked on save setting after making sure the button was still checked for removing the catagory/ part of the url's and now they work again. However the /category-sitemap.xml is still giving 404 error to google.
Anyone have a solution to the xml sitemap 404 yet after removing the category via permalinks?
Try this 420friendly:
1. Remove the sitemap. Save.
2. Remove strip category. Save.
3. Add sitemap. Save.
4. Add strip category. Save.
Check link 420friendlysite.something/category-sitemap.xml
Still 404?
Thanks guys.
Removing and then re-adding the stip category has worked for me.
I still get the sitemap 404 on this page after doing it anyway I try it... http://site . com/category-sitemap.xml
I too am having the same problems as 420friendly.
I have disabled 'Strip Category Base' and 'Enfore trailing slash' until the obvious bug is solved.
However, my category-sitemap.xml leads to a 404.
I have tried enabling and disabling sitemaps, but nothing seems to change.
My website is visible at http://ryancaseybooks.com if that helps in any way.
420friendly - have you managed to fix it? If so, how? I'm really fond of Yoast's plugin and don't want to have to uninstall it and rebuild a new sitemap...
WordPress SE0 causing 404 errors on category / blog posts since upgrading to 3.4.1
I went through a lot of troubleshooting and figured it was the cause ( http://wordpress.org/support/topic/blog-posts-catergory-links-broken-after-upgrade-to-341?replies=7 )
Such a great plugin, but have disabled it for now until issue gets resolved.
Thanks for the reply.
I'm quite new to WordPress, so would it be possible for you to outline the alternatives you've chosen to use whilst temporarily disabling WordPress SEO?
For example, I know I would need a Google XML plugin, but is there anything else?
Another alternative could be to disable 'Categories-sitemap' for now. Perhaps this is a more viable solution?
have you tried reachgrounds solution of adding and removing? i've done it myself and it seems to work
I have indeed tried that, but my category-sitemap still leads to a 404 page. :/
I have excluded the category taxonomy until the bug is fixed. I'm half tempted to disable the XML section of WordPress SEO and use another sitemap plugin for now. Would this be okay to do?

tag:econsultancy.com,2008:/topics/ecommerce Latest Ecommerce content from Econsultancy 2016-07-29T15:40:31+01:00 tag:econsultancy.com,2008:BlogPost/68117 2016-07-29T15:40:31+01:00 2016-07-29T15:40:31+01:00 Wells Fargo turns to Amazon as a marketing channel Patricio Robles
Case in point: last week, Amazon and Wells Fargo announced a partnership that will allow members of Amazon Prime Student to receive an interest rate discount on private student loans.

Amazon Prime Student is a version of Amazon Prime for students that was launched in 2010. It gives students access to the benefits of Prime at a reduced cost of $49/year, half the price of a regular Amazon Prime membership (and Amazon offers a six-month free trial).

Through the relationship with Wells Fargo, Amazon Prime Student members who apply for and receive, or cosign for, a private student loan will receive a 0.50% interest rate discount.

They can reduce their interest rate further by setting up automatic monthly payments and taking advantage of any Wells Fargo global promotions they're eligible for.

According to John Rasmussen, who heads Wells Fargo's Personal Lending Group, "We are focused on innovation and meeting our customers where they are – and increasingly that is in the digital space."

A sign of things to come?

While affinity and relationship discounts are not new to financial services industry, the Wells Fargo-Amazon partnership is an interesting one for a couple of reasons.

First, the market for private student loans is relatively small compared to the overall student loan market. According to the Q1 2016 MeasureOne Private Student Loan Report, private student loans make up well under 10% of total student loans outstanding. The vast majority of student loans are federal.

Private student loans don't have the best reputation and are generally more expensive than their government-subsidised counterparts. That makes it a tough market for lenders like Wells Fargo, so if the Amazon Prime Student relationship can help drive loan volume, it could be a real boon to Wells Fargo's private student lending business.

Second, Wells Fargo's decision to market its private student loans through Amazon Prime Student offers yet more evidence of the unbundling of financial services.

Historically, large banks like Wells Fargo have used their leverage over customers to be all things to all customers. The internet has changed that, and large financial institutions can't count on their customers to turn to them for all of their needs by default.

That's why Wells Fargo is looking for ways to meet customers where they are.

While it remains to be seen just how productive the Wells Fargo-Amazon Prime Student relationship will be, don't be surprised to see other players in the financial services market turn to digital channels in a similar fashion going forward as they seek to compete in increasingly competitive markets and deal with consumers who put service and price above loyalty.

In the meantime, let's get on with the show.

90% of people recognise the Twitter brand (but many don't understand the platform)

Research by Twitter found that though 90% of people globally recognise the brand, many don't understand its myriad uses, and some thought they had to tweet every day to use the platform.

Consequently, the social media juggernaut is set to launch a global marketing campaign to clarify its position and brand values.

Using the tagline, "See what's happening", it will use video and digital ads to promote it as the place to find out what's going on in the world at any given moment.

Mobile shoppers left frustrated with online experience

Connexity has revealed the top eight annoyances for mobile shoppers, highlighting that brands need to be smarter about how they display information.

33% of consumers cited the need to zoom in, in order to click on the right part of the screen as their top annoyance, closely followed by 25% saying the pages load too slowly.

Further findings from the survey of 100,000 consumers:

One in five shoppers take seven hours to complete an online purchase

When it comes to shopping online, it appears we're far from impulsive.

According to Monetate's new report, one in five of us take over seven hours to actually buy something.

From initial research to returning on multiple devices, the path to purchase is becoming increasingly lengthy.

For brands, the key is in making the customer journey seamless across all channels.

Consumers view chatbots as the key to great customer service

Research by myclever agency has discovered how consumers are favouring chatbots for better customer service.

In a survey of 1,000, 46% of consumers cited bots as the key-holders to speed, immediacy and convenience.

Surprisingly, chatbots were the second-most preferred form of communication, only second to face-to-face conversation.

This spells great news for early adopters of the technology who stand to reap the benefits of consumer approval.

One in five PR disasters break on Twitter

According to a new study by Visibrain, 95% of PR disasters begin on Twitter.

What's more, the platform is said to make the situation significantly worse as online trolls add fuel to the flame.

Over the course of the last year, 19% of PR blunders occurred on Twitter, making it more influential than the likes of Facebook and YouTube.

SME retailers relying on social media and digital tech to support growth

According to a study by SAP, a growing number of SME retailers are turning to social media to support business growth.

In a survey, all respondents said they were active on at least one social channel, and nearly a third said they were using three or more forms of social media.

Likewise, digital technology is now seen as the key to attracting new customers, with better customer experience cited as the biggest benefit.

62% of companies lack a formalised digital analytics strategy

Insight from our Measurement and Analytics report has revealed that three-fifths of companies do not have a formalised analytics strategy in place.

As a result, it is difficult for marketers to take clear measurements and track whether KPI's are being met.

With a fifth suggesting that this lack of strategy is for digital analytics only, a merged online and offline strategy is seen as the best way to solve the problem.

80% of UK businesses fear they could be displaced within 5 years

A study by Squiz has highlighted the worries of businesses owners in the UK.

It found that 49% of UK businesses fear an established competitor is likely to disrupt them.

Similarly, 36% cited concerned over a start-up trumping them on new technology.

With consumer expectations impacted by digital experiences, it seems slow innovation and lack of skills are at the root of these fears.

Use of mobile wallets on the rise

Mobile wallets are now among the top four ways consumers stay updated on sales, discounts and offers, says Urban Airship.

Apparently, millennials are the biggest fan of this technology, with 60% of the demographic using it compared to 40% of those aged 35-54.

Research also found that mobile wallets are key drivers for consumers using coupons in-store as well as signing up to loyalty programmes.

3,000 McDonalds Japan outlets to become Pokemon Gyms

Many businesses are using Nintendo's Pokemon Go to drive foot traffic, however McDonalds has just announced that it's the first to officially partner with the brand.

3,000 McDonalds outlets in Japan are set to become designated 'Gym' and 'PokeStops'.

What's more, the fast food brand will give away Pokemon figurines as part of its Happy Meals.

In doing so, McDonalds aims to provide fans with an incentive to visit, as well as counteract recent controversy about food safety issues.

How does it work?

Everlane Studio is a private account that accepts just 100 followers each day.

It offers exclusive online content and early access to new releases, allowing customers to get their hands on items before anyone else.

Alongside this, the brand uses the platform to gauge consumer responses, testing out new products and using the feedback to determine future decisions.

What's the aim?

When followers are accepted into Everlane Studio, they will feel like they are part of an exclusive club or 'inner circle' of sorts.

By creating bespoke content that is unique to that platform, the brand also promotes a customer-centric image.

In doing so, it suggests that it cares about the people that buys its products, but more than that, it implies it cares above and beyond any other brand or rival retailer.

The hope is that this will deepen the emotional response of the consumer and ultimately strengthen their loyalty.

Why Instagram?

Instagram is a platform that thrives on exclusivity.

Whether people are putting a filter on a Fendi bag or a five-star hotel view, the platform is commonly used as a place for people to show off their wares.

Everlane has clearly decided to capitalise on this trend, using the private function of its second account to ramp up its elite feel.

What's more, Instagram is one of the few platforms where consumer feedback can very easily be gauged.

Although brands like NARS have previously used Snapchat to give fans a sneak peek of new products, with the fast-moving nature of Snapchat, it's not as easy to gain an overview of the conversation.

Using Instagram to create a community, and by allowing its user-base the opportunity to voice their opinions and even impact decisions, Everlane ensure customers feel even greater loyalty to the brand.

Could it put off new customers?

While EverlaneStudio is a great way to connect with loyal fans, the danger of putting new customers off might be its biggest drawback.

As we've seen from the likes of Amazon Prime Day, events geared around membership or some sort of exclusivity have the potential to make new customers feel shut out or like they're not valued.

Luckily, Everlane seem to recognise this fact, using its other social media platforms to cleverly counteract the danger.

By giving Snapchat and Twitter just as much focus as Instagram, Everlane does go some way to ensure that each platform has enough unique content to engage all potential customers.

What can other brands learn?

Everlane is not the only company to set up more than one Instagram.

With an account specifically dedicated to showcasing shoe launches, NikeLab is another example of a brand using a single social media platform for multiple purposes.

Again, while the private function could alienate new or one-off customers, it's certainly a good example of a brand putting the long-term loyalty of the customer before short-term gain.

Building on the success and community-aspect of its original Instagram, Everlane is certainly thinking innovatively about its social media strategy.

..outrageous fashion...

(image via istolethetv)

...a challenging sense of design...

 ...and famously strange TV shows.

So what about digital? In a world where cultures becoming increasingly alike due to digital media, does Japan stand out in any way?

Econsultancy's latest publication, The Japan Digital Report, aims to find out. In the report, we look at Japan's demographics, digital readiness, social media, search engines, and ecommerce sites to get a detailed picture of just where Japan is at, digitally.

We found that there are many fascinating aspects of Japan's digital culture. Here are five things that you should know about first.

1) Japan has its own social network

Any meaningful discussion of digital in Japan has to start with its homegrown social network, LINE.

LINE rose to prominence during Japan's 2011 tsunami crisis as many used the network to communicate with loved ones when normal phone communication failed.

Since then, however, LINE has become ubiquitous in Japan providing its users with chat, voice and video chat, a personal timeline, games, branded channels, and many more features.

The network still enjoys significant growth quarter-on-quarter and it is commonly said that anyone in Japan who is 'on social media' is on LINE.

One testament to LINE's popularity is that the company IPO'd in the US and Japan in July 2016 and shares shot up 50% on the first day.

2) Facebook is popular, too, and used for business

Facebook was launched in Japan in 2008, but as of 2011 its reach, 2 million, was still relatively low.

The social network also came into its own during the 2011 tsunami. Because Facebook, unlike other social networks, requires real names, Japanese Facebook users could see that distant friends or colleagues were OK after the disaster without having to ask them directly.

Its popularity soared following the disaster and it has seen consistent growth ever since.

Now, Facebook is used in Japan for business networking as well as social networking.

Speculation is that Facebook has taken LinkedIn's place in this regards because it is unusual for the Japanese to post career accomplishments and ambitions as members are encouraged to do on LinkedIn. So, because Facebook has real names, the platform serves as a less obvious way of making and maintaining professional contacts.

3) Yahoo! Japan is still very much alive

As most are aware by now, Yahoo has been sold to Verizon in the US. The site however, is not wholly owned by Yahoo and so Yahoo Japan will not be transfered to Verizon after the sale of Yahoo in the US.

Yahoo Japan has built up a strong independent brand and competes head-on with Google for monthly active users (MAUs)...

...and has more ecommerce traffic than any other site in the country.

Yahoo Japan also currently enjoys double-digit year-on-year growth in overall monthly active users.

4) Bots are already up and running in Japan

2016 has been a banner year for applications which provide a chat interface to an ecommerce or information service - commonly known as bots. Most compaines, however, have yet to do anything at all on the various bot platforms and so bots may well end up to be the biggest vapourware story of the year.

In Japan, however, LINE already has a bot plugin for brands, a test network for developers, and a number of live bots already in use.

Domino's Pizza Bot is one example which has taken a reported 100 million yen (around $1 million) in orders already. Those interested in building a LINE bot for Japanese consumers can get started by applying for access (in English) at the LINE partner site.

5) Virtual stickers are what's hot there, though

If you asked a typical LINE user about what was hot on LINE, though, most would say one word - stickers. Virtual stickers are similar to emojis in that they are used to share emotions in an unusual or fun way.

LINE, however, has capitalized on their popularity on the network and allowed brands to design their own custom stickers (for a considerable fee, of course!)

The benefit for brands, though, is that LINE stickers can both deliver the brand message and help their fans extend the brand message to their friends.

LINE stickers also have the added benefits of being short-lived and difficult-to-get outside of a campaign's home country. This scarcity makes the stickers distribution even more likely by LINE members seeking cultural cachet.

So...

So, why do some Japanese dress outrageously and why do they have some of the world's most 'interesting' TV shows? We are not entirely sure.

We do know, however, that Japan has a diverse media landscape and many opportunities for brands to reach their audience in the country digitally. The Japan Report will provide you will the base facts, statistics, and insights you need to start figuring out this fascinating country.

The Japan Digital Report aims to provide background for marketers who are outside of Japan and currently marketing in Japan, thinking of launching a campaign there, or even just curious about the country and its digital landscape.

Additionally, the report provides detailed information about marketing on LINE, the most culturally significant digital platform in Japan presently.

Through the data, the charts and the commentary, the report will help marketers looking to make a case for investing more in the country and provide a foundation for further research.

Topics covered include:

 Demographics. How does Japan compare to the rest of the world?

 Digital readiness. What is the current state of internet and mobile technology in the country?

 Digital landscape. What are the main web, social, search, video and ecommerce sites in the country, and how do they operate?

Those at the top of organisations don't feel they have the strategic sweep to justify the time and effort required to commission them.

Audits are viewed at times as a little "too tactical" or only done once every blue moon by agencies aiming to impress for your business, only to then collect dust on top of Econsultancy buyers guides print outs or even your old New Media Age magazines (Ed: We let this lie, but only to show we have a sense of humour).

For the in-house Head of Ecommerce, requesting a digital audit might sound dangerously like a turkey voting for Christmas.

Are we selling audits wrongly?

Or is it the slightly cheesy marketing of website or marketing auditors themselves that is putting people off?

All that tired 'digital health check' stuff might be the kind of foot in the door tactic that make brands feel suspicious of then giving access to their precious AdWords account, affiliate network or analytics suite.

How important are digital audits anyway?

In reality, though, digital audits are absolutely vital. And third party objective auditing ensures that you're not marking your own home work or ignoring long term problems.

Proper auditing, UX testing and CRO analysis means you can elongate the lifetime and effectiveness of your website and digital media activity, in a way that can be done on any budget.

Your digital real estate is often an expensive investment - you've got to maintain it properly to get results.

Regular servicing is vital

Think of that shiny new website you've just spent months developing as a new car you've just acquired.

To start off with, it's the envy of everyone who sees it. After-sales support is pretty good and you can see years of trouble free motoring ahead of you. Before you know it, though, your warranty is up and you're on your own.

As the car ages, small problems become big problems. It performs less effectively. You're paying for petrol, but it's becoming less and less economical to run. There are so many things going wrong with it you don't know where to start. Eventually the car's value is so diminished you might as well scrap it and buy a new one.

It's the same with websites and digital marketing campaigns. They can't be left to look after themselves – and even the mechanic themselves might need some fine tuning or training themselves.

What a digital audit can do for you

Audits can show you how to balance your budget more effectively through action and prioritisation. They can identify common issues like plateaus in activity and drop offs in acquisition; all the elements that reduce profitability.

The Lessons of the Audit

Constantly learn, constantly improve, constantly trade! A timely and constructive audit will help you:

Keep up to date with the latest channel trends - Google changes, new publishers in affiliate, new platform or techniques for social.

Use competitor analysis to keep your enemies close! It's crucial to analyse and understand market share/spend and its consequences for your brand.

Help you (re)define your goals.

Confirm your objectives or KPIs so you can measure success.

Understand new opportunities.

Benchmark improvements or conversely measure areas of decline.

Ensure corporate compliance – its best practice to have someone external "rubber stamp" your activity.

Encourage serendipity – the uncovering of that nugget of information that transforms your understanding and makes the commercial difference.

Should you take the plunge?

Regular and skilled digital auditing is a detailed and never ending task. It can transform the effectiveness of your digital advertising, website and budget.

Is it sexy? It's showing your website a lot of love and attention. It's optimizing and maximizing your marketing profitability and performance. Sounds pretty sexy to me.

An analysis by Barilliance indicates that:

1. A higher number of consumers were browsing the retailers' websites, with sessions increasing by 5.9%.

2. More visitors were converting and making purchases, leading to a 30% increase in sales.

3. Fewer consumers were abandoning their shopping carts prior to making a purchase; cart abandonment dropped slightly by 1.3%.

In light of these findings, UK retailers should utilise specifically-targeted website personalisation tactics to entice international shoppers browsing UK retail sites, thereby increasing the conversion rates of non-UK leads.

Create a sense of urgency with prompts highlighting current low GBP rate

UK retailers can create prompts, such as banners, messages and pop-ups, highlighting the low GBP rate to non-UK website visitors.

Geo-targeting consumers, using methods such as e-mail acquisition and sending out trigger e-mails, can enable UK online retailers to promote post-Brexit currency shifts to their advantage, marketing ostensibly reduced prices to international customers accustomed to making transactions in other currencies.

Furthermore, highlighting the current low GBP rate as a "limited-time opportunity," likely to change at any given moment, UK online retailers can create a sense of urgency among non-UK website browsers, promoting conversion even amongst the most hesitant of shoppers.

Create targeted promotions to international website visitors to enhance personalisation

Creating geographically-targeted promotions to website visitors from foreign countries enhances personalisation and increases conversion.

Retailers can create banners and popups targeted at specific countries or regions and segment these promotions by city, thus providing the consumer with a very personalised shopping experience.

For example, a retailer could offer German customers a special coupon that is exclusively available to them - or that appears to be exclusive.

Additionally, while the current GBP-foreign currency exchange rate may tempt website browsers to purchase from UK retail sites, the mere thought of international shipping and customs fees may be daunting enough to lead customers to abandon their carts and pay a heftier local product price.

UK online retailers can create personalised website prompts announcing to international customers that the company provides shipping services to international addresses. Furthermore, they can offer free or reduced-cost international shipping to non-UK customers.

Customers who do not have to worry about shipping hassles and costs are more likely to make international purchases, despite longer delivery wait times when compared to items bought locally.

If the customer abandons the cart before completing their purchase, retailers can send geo-targeted email that highlight the free or low-cost and makes the purchase worthwhile.

Issue limited-time discounts or coupons to international customers

Presenting non-UK customers with promotional offers valid for a limited time can entice consumers to act immediately and purchase desired items at the reduced price.

Internationally-geared limited-time discounts and coupons benefit the company's overall revenues as well.

UK companies feeling the post-Brexit economic pinch can vastly increase individual sales to international customers using promotional offers, despite the company's profit-per-item rate being lower than originally projected.

The discount offer value can be changed according to the cart value, enabling retailers to offer, for example, a 15% discount for carts up to £499 and a 20% discount for carts above £500.

In conclusion

UK online retailers should take advantage of the post-Brexit referendum low GBP rate and target non-UK website visitors utilising website personalisation tactics.

International customers benefit from the strengthening of foreign currencies against the GBP, while the UK retailers gain new customers, increased sales, reduced cart abandonment and a rise in overall revenues.

 Ecommerce in the uK post-Brexit: positives, negatives & opportunities

 tag:econsultancy.com,2008:BlogPost/68070 2016-07-25T11:12:46+01:00 2016-07-25T11:12:46+01:00 Eight examples of fashion ecommerce product filters: Good & bad Nikki Gilliland
(Note - as there are a few differences on mobile, such as abridged filters, I am solely concentrating on the desktop experience for now.)

H&M

H&M's 'Shop by Feature' filter is designed to point the user in the direction of curated themes.

While creative in theory, it actually seems to be quite pointless.

What the retailer seems to have forgotten is that the whole point of a filter system is to narrow down products in order to point the consumer in a specific direction – not lead them down a random path to 'off duty denim' when it's far easier to just filter by 'jeans'.

Aside from this, the regular filter is very user-friendly.

With options to choose by colour, size and style - plus a handy 'clear all' button - it's easy to narrow down exactly what you're looking for.

River Island

River Island's filtering system is slightly fiddly in that it only allows you to select one filter at a time (selecting mutliple filters involves multiple reloading of the results page).

However, one feature I quite like is that it allows you to see how many items each one includes. While this might sound slightly off-putting (I did occasionally find myself focusing on the number rather than the actual category I was selecting) – it is pretty helpful.

For instance, if a filter returns just two items, you'll know ahead of time rather than clicking through just to be disappointed.

Zara

Zara's filter system is a mixed bag. By placing it at the top of the page instead of the left-hand side, it focuses the user's attention.

It also enables you to select multiple features at once, using specific elements like 'characteristics' and 'colour'.

And we mean specific… Anyone happen to know what an 'ecru' coloured shirt looks like?

Well thanks to its filtering system, you do now.

On the other hand, its filter button is not the most visible, nor are highlighted filters, a fairly major UX issue.

Annoyingly, there is also no option to sort filtered results.

Ted Baker

Much of Ted Baker's website is slick, so it's a little disappointing that its filtering system is less so.

While it does offer a decent number of options to filter by, including patterns, colours, sizes etc, like River Island it only allows you to choose one option (i.e. colour or size) before you have to repeat the process to choose another.

Furthermore, the drop-down menu is a little slow, making the whole process feel slightly frustrating.

Luckily, with its creative copywriting and lookbooks, there's a lot to enjoy elsewhere on the site.

Hunter

Like Ted Baker, Hunter's filter is in the form of a drop-down menu, however, with separate tabs for each filter option – it's far easier to use.

It also includes some nice touches like a tick appearing as you narrow down the search, and an instant reset button.

Marks and Spencer

User reviews is a feature that many retailers fail to utilise. Functioning as a vote of confidence, rating systems are always useful for consumers that are unsure of what products to buy.

Marks and Spencer is one of the few retailers to shrewdly include them.

Allowing users to filter by star ratings (1 and above, 2 and above and so on), it helps out the consumer who values other people's opinions. While it's located at the bottom of the left-hand side and so fairly inconspicuous, it's still a worthwhile addition.

Suit Supply

In contrast to H&M, Suit Supply is a great example of how to use product filtering in a more creative fashion.

Instead of words, it utilises visuals to highlight various product features, cleverly showcasing the retailer's wide variety of options.

From collar type to style by context, this element is simple but effective, and something I've not come across before.

ASOS

With such a large amount of items, it's a good job that ASOS offers such as comprehensive filter system.

From brand and style to fit and sleeve length, there any many different options to choose from, and with different filters across different categories - it's cleverly executed.

As well as helping to guide the consumer to find what they like, it also allows ASOS the brand to showcase its wide variety of products.

What can we learn?

While H&M's example might not work, the brand's willingness to experiment with product filtering should be applauded.

If done right, a decent filter can massively improve the user experience.

Fast, with clear visuals and the ability to select multiple options... that's the dream.

Travel industry experiences highest cart abandonment rates

According to the latest report by SaleCycle, the travel industry is experiencing the highest rates of online abandonment, with time sensitive flight and hotel bookings being the most commonly discarded.

The retail industry is the second biggest industry affected, suffering from abandonment rates of 74.6%.

Insight shows that SMS retargeting could be the most beneficial solution as consumers generally read messages within 3 minutes of receiving them.

Sweden biggest users of Snapchat and Instagram in Europe

The latest stage of the Adobe Best of the Best 2015 report has revealed that Swedes are the most social-media savvy of all European countries.

33% of people in Sweden use Snapchat to engage with brands, compared with 22% in France and 20% in the UK.

51% of people surveyed in Sweden said that they also use Instagram for the same reason. This is in contrast to the UK where Twitter is the leading platform for brand engagement.

Political searches soar since Brexit

Hitwise, a division of Connexity, has revealed how online behaviour is reflecting the growing concern over the current UK political situation.

Since Brexit, there has been a 300% increase in searches about moving to other EU countries.

Likewise, there has been an increase in searches for mortgages, interest rates and gold.

Despite the weaker pound, searches for holidays and flights have not been impacted.

Shoppers less tolerant of queuing due to technology

A new report from Worldpay has highlighted how Brits are becoming less patient when it comes to queuing in-store.

Out of a nationwide survey of over 2,500 consumers, London was found to be the least patient, with 18% prepared to queue for more than five minutes. In contrast, northerners are the most patient, with 28% of shoppers saying they'd be willing to queue for longer.

The rise of online shopping is said to be the reason behind this growing trend.

One-click ordering and next-day delivery means that consumers are becoming more demanding as a result.

'Invisible socks' the most searched-for menswear item in the UK

With temperatures soaring to 33 degrees this week, Lyst has been looking to see if the heat has been affecting our spending habits.

According to data, sales of 'invisible socks' (i.e ankle or trainer socks) are up 218% week on week, making it the most-searched for item right now.

It seems women are feeling summery too, with Monday seeing us purchase more white dresses than black for the first time this year.

Retail apps overtake mobile web for loyalty and engagement

App commerce company Poq has discovered that more shoppers are moving to mobile apps to buy.

According to research, the average online shopper spends 6% more money on apps and 5% less money on the mobile web.

What's more, apps are also said to increase customer retention and improve long-term loyalty. Long-term retention rates are over twice as high when a shopper makes at least one purchase in an app.

7.5m people in the UK left behind by digital revolution

Analysis by Experian has discovered that, when it comes to digital behaviour, Britain is a nation divided into three distinct camps.

A third of people in the UK are digital devotees, with the most devices and the most amount of time spent online.

Half of the population are day-to-day doers, using the internet for practical reasons like paying bills.

Lastly, 7.5m people are said to be digital dawdlers, with a limited knowledge and lack of interest.

Insight suggest that businesses must take this into account when communicating with audiences.

Sports fans flock to YouTube ahead of Rio Olympics

In anticipation of the Olympics this summer, research from Ipsos Mori and Flamingo has revealed how online video platforms will benefit from the event.

A survey found that 75% of Brits will look for related video content during the Olympics. Similarly, 44% will watch sports or fitness videos online while simultaneously watching live sports on TV.

Unsurprisingly, YouTube is the most popular platform, with 78% of people saying that it is home to content that they can't find elsewhere.

Binge-viewing is on the rise

Research suggests that binge-viewing (i.e. watching multiple episodes of a TV show in one sitting) has never been more prevalent.

According to data from GfK MRI, 6 in 10 television viewers say they regularly watch three or more episodes in one go.

Millennials are the most prolific binge-watchers, with 16% of this demographic saying that watching live television is a special event.

As a result, the challenge for brands is finding how to advertise to them.

Luxury brands set to get the biggest boost from this year's Black Friday?

According to research by Qubit, brands in the luxury retail category saw the highest boost in conversion rate on last year's Black Friday.

Conversely, electronics and home and garden retailers had the lowest increase, with the latter seeing a 27% uplift in conversions compared to the rest of year average.

With some fashion retailers seeing a spike in conversions despite not even participating, it appears the day inspires more shopping behaviour all round.

Whether you're into beauty or not, the following examples are well worth a look.

L'Oreal

With its unique domain name, L'Oréal's makeup.com is designed to feel like an independent publication rather than a brand blog.

Its authenticity isn't fake either.

Often publishing product-focused features like "The Best Drugstore Highlighters", it includes a wide variety of brands (not just promoting its own) to provide readers with a balanced and surprisingly unbiased frame of reference.

Birchbox

A beauty subscription service, Birchbox gives consumers the opportunity to discover new products each month.

Its blog cleverly provides context for these products, using informative articles to inspire, educate and ultimately give consumers a reason to continue their subscription.

With its unboxing videos and 'Birchbox reactions' articles, a lot of the content is self-promotional (something that could potentially put non-subscribers off).

However, for loyal consumers, this aspect undoubtedly provides extra value.

Mankind

It might be one of the relatively few male grooming blogs out there, but there's more reason to visit Mankind than that.

With five Editors each with their own area of expertise, it has a nice mix of lifestyle content, using distinct verticals like 'International' and 'Luxury'.

One of the reasons I like it is that, alongside general articles, it's not afraid to experiment with a more in-depth approach.

It's 'ingredient focus' series is particularly interesting, and something that many of the fluffier, female-driven blogs could learn from.

Sephora

Who needs models when beauty products can look so attractive?

With its stunning product-focused photography, Sephora Glossy showcases the very best of its main shop.

Instead of long-form content, it publishes short how-to's and product curations, making it feel more like an extension of Pinterest or Tumblr than an in-depth publication.

With its user-friendly design, it's one of those sites that you could find yourself scrolling through for ages.

Clinique

Marketing itself as a philosophy rather than a cosmetics line, Clinique's blog focuses on the two verticals of beauty and lifestyle.

Cleverly using skincare as a spin-off to other verticals, it also covers topics like food and fitness, implementing video to further engage visitors.

In comparison to other blogs, it is also pleasingly minimal, proving that a less-is-more approach can work.

Urban Decay

In comparison to Clinique, Urban Decay's blog is loud, proud and unashamedly purple.

Recognising the digital mind-set of its core demographic, it is heavily geared around the online beauty community where bloggers and YouTubers have huge influence.

The blog has an original feel to it, with the standard 'How-To's sitting alongside unique 'Women Who Rock Our World' and 'XO, WZ' – the latter being an insider look at co-founder Wende Zomnir's world.

We want to change the World of Work for the better.
We do this by:
helping our clients reinvent their organisations using agile methods and complexity thinking
partnering with the leading minds in the world to bring the latest business innovations to Australia.
We started our business as a collection of leading agile thinkers, implementers and practitioners. We've come together to help clients build great teams that confidently tackle their most complex projects and respond effectively in a disruptive, competitive landscape.
We support the agile community by running LAST Conference and 1st Conference. Spark the Change is our event for change agents from across the business.
Featured Training
The Certified LeSS Practitioner course is for anyone who is involved in Large Scale Scrum and Agile projects and wants to apply this state-of-the art scaling approach. It is a 3-day course that presents LeSS Principles, Rules and Practices.
We are bringing Bas Vodde over from Singapore to run the Certified Less Practitioner course again, in November 2016. With Craig Larman, Bas is the author of Scaling Agile & Lean Development, Practices for Scaling Lean and Agile Development and Large-Scale Scrum. He is maintainer of the CppUTest C++ unit test framework and the Osaka Mac GUI automation library.
Featured Event
The 5th LAST Conference will be held on 30 June and 1 July 2016 in Melbourne and will be held for the first time in Sydney on 25 July 2016.
LAST Conference is an affordable, grassroots mini-conference for Lean, Agile, and Systems Thinking practitioners.
The emphasis is on:
- sharing of practical skills
- real experiences of lean and agile adoption
- the latest in systems thinking practice
- gaining inspiration from fellow practitioners
Recent highlights
Dr Alistair Cockburn
February and March 2016.
Dr Alistair Cockburn is best known as one of the original creators and signatory of the Agile Manifesto.
He is an authority on Use Cases, and author of books such as Writing Effective Use Cases, Agile Software Development the Cooperative Game, and Crystal Clear A Human-Powered Methodology for Small Teams.
We are Alistair's partners in Australia and present a range of his training courses based on his Heart of Agile framework.
Courses include…
- Heart of Agile
- Use Case to User Stories and Story Maps
- Advanced Agile
He is also available for private training and consulting.
See this Overview page for more information.
1st Conference was held again on 15 February 2016, in Melbourne.
Our first keynote speaker will be Dr Alistair Cockburn, original signatory to the Manifesto for Agile Software Development. We will also be joined by Ben Linders, for his first visit to Australia, from the Netherlands.
The event is for those who are early in their agile journey. It is designed to complement LAST Conference (for more experienced community members), as a place for those who are newer to agile to start to explore the possibilities.

The following is an error message I got when using your plugin with BackupBuddy. It would appear to be "fixable". I really liked the plugin but having reliable backups with a plugin that is a must have takes priority . Please let me know when update becomes available. I would like to reinstall and use.
Error scheduling event with WordPress. Your schedule may not work properly. Please try again. Error #3488439.
This means the built-in WordPress function wp_schedule_event() is returning false. The only thing that can cause that is another plugin or something filtering/blocking scheduling of events. So can try deactivating/disabling all other plugins and then see if it clears it up. If it does then one of them was conflicting and can reactivate the plugins one at a time to find which one causes it again.
Letting the conflicting plugin's author know about the conflict is good to do as well so they can update their plugin and fix it

By: cws6196 , 4:11 AM GMT on July 31, 2012
We are stuck in the same weather pattern most of the week. A Bermuda high just off the coast coupled with low pressure disturbances moving in the area from the Great Lakes along with what is termed an upper level trough (as the wind moves from the west to the east it tends to either bow down, like a feeding trough, or bow upward called a ridge) will aid in the dynamics which will allow for scattered storms. This pattern stays the same for the rest of this week. Therefore, we could see, with the heating of the days, storms forming in the afternoons. Most storm activity will fade in the evening as the heating of the day cools. Wednesday we should see more storms as a cold front moves into the area adding to the dynamics already in place. So, for the rest of this week we can expect scattered thunderstorms each afternoon. I will talk more about Wednesday later on Tuesday. These scattered storms could be slow movers and therefore dump a lot of rain. Wind and lightning will be the other major threats.
Concerning the tropics, thus far there are a couple areas of interest, but nothing close to us. One of the areas of interest, now termed Invest 99L, looks interesting as some of the early models have it moving toward the eastern seaboard, but this is way too early to talk about anything definite. But know I will be following it and will let you know if I think it is something for us to be concerned about here in MD.

ZIPAQUIRA, Colombia (AP) -- Army troops backed by helicopters searched mountains north of the capital Tuesday for one of Latin America's leading Roman Catholic bishops who was kidnapped a day earlier.
The abduction of Bishop Jorge Enrique Jimenez, president of the Latin American bishops conference, drew outrage from church officials across the world and warnings of excommunication.
Jimenez was seized Monday with the Rev. Desiderio Orjuela and their driver as they headed to a religious ceremony. The driver was later released.
Residents of Zipaquira, 25 miles north of the capital, held a prayer vigil Tuesday in the soaring brick and stone cathedral where Jimenez worked. Hundreds of people, many of them school children, walked through the village of whitewashed red-tile roofed homes carrying white handkerchiefs, flowers and rosaries.
"The seriousness of the crime is incalculable," Bogota Archbishop Pedro Rubiano told reporters in the capital.
Pope John Paul II said in a telegram that he felt "deep pain" and was praying that those responsible free the bishop.
The Colombian army blamed the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, which is holding dozens of politicians, police and soldiers in hopes of exchanging them for jailed rebels. The rebel group did not immediately comment on the kidnapping.
"They disgust me," Manuel Antonio Garcia, a 62-year-old resident of Zipaquira said of the rebels, adding that they should not target clerics. "They're not to blame for anything," he said.
Colombian Defense Minister Martha Lucia Ramirez said troops backed by army and air force helicopters fanned out across the mountainous area where Jimenez was kidnapped.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, meeting Tuesday in Washington, expressed its concern for Jimenez and the Colombian church.
"He is very much with us in prayer," said Boston Cardinal Bernard Law, chairman of the American bishops' Committee on International Policy.
Jimenez is president of the Latin American bishops conference, an organization of Roman Catholic bishops that determines church policy in the region and has a mandate covering the 22 nations of Latin America, home to nearly half the world's Catholics.
Fernando Saenz Lacalle, the archbishop of San Salvador, El Salvador, called the kidnapping "irrational" and "unjust."
"This is very sad news," he said. "We are praying that this worrisome problem is resolved rapidly."
German Development Minister Heidemarie Wieczorek-Zeul appealed to the kidnappers to "release their victim immediately and unconditionally."
Earlier this year, the archbishop of Cali, Isaias Duarte, was shot and killed after performing a mass wedding in a poor neighborhood in Colombia's third-largest city. Authorities are still investigating the motive for the slaying.
Since 1984, one archbishop, one bishop and 48 priests have been assassinated in Colombia, according to the bishops conference. Four bishops, 14 priests and a missionary have been kidnapped.
Colombia has the highest kidnapping rate in the world, with more than 3,000 people taken hostage last year. The rebels use kidnapping to press their political agenda as well as for ransom.

Fashion lite, I like that. Yes, very very lite, with zero %.The thing is that celeb is easy and fast money, quick to set, zero creativity, except the cases you mentionned. And ironically, photographers feel that they become "someone" when they do celeb because they are part of the pathetic show...well, it's like an interviewer who would think is part of the Rolling Stones because he interviews them. But from a celeb point of view, in 99% of the cases, they are servants. They are some truth colaborations but are numbered.Watch that: http://www.vogue.es/videos/mario-testino-y-vogue-espana/1707With this lite music, lite comments it just kills the fish. And I haven't find some real footage of the celeb party: baroque, gayish, snobish lite lite lite...ridiculously corny; watch specialy the end, MT negligible is telling all; the photos were good, but that's what's arround that stinks.
Fashion is the objectification of women and men. Wear this and be beautiful. And if you are beautiful you will be loved and admired. Isn't that the messaging? Isn't it built on taking little girls and making them women--how perverse is that? Girls that end up staving themselves because of a twisted body image. Now, if you want to work in fashion and make a living from it, that is great. There has been a lot of advertising images I have enjoyed. But it is hardly some benign, innocent industry interesting in beauty and art.
Absolutly. Cyclic.MT was a great photographer, but now, from the top, the game escapes from his control and he is starting to sink into a caricature of itself, and it's even sad to see him ridiculous like in the link I posted.Same happened to KL. From the top, he sunk into decadence and now barely a caricature of what he used to be.The night, the fame, you know all those photocall BS are just eating people. The few who have been enough clever to stay away from parties and didn't want to be part of the celebs festin when they were on the top are still making great stuff.
I really find this ridiculous. The fashion business is not built on taking little girlsand turning them into women.let me tell you a story about taking a little girl and "making her a woman". I photographed a pretty young girl that had a debilitating handycap. I was asked to photograph her by one of her doctors.She had brain damage and severe motory problems. She would move in a very shaky and un co-ordinated manner.The photos came out rally well and gave her a massive boost in confidence. Her doctors said the effect was a dramatic improvement.The confidence she gained made it much easier to control her movement and her shaking.The best part of the story is that I showed this image to Vogue Spain and they loved it and ran it as the cover of their beauty section.You can only imagine how this lovely little girl felt when I showed her the magazine in the news stand on the streets of Milan.I still get cards from her and her family 20 years later.The Fashion business like many other is made up of a very diverse group of people. There are all types, there is a lot of good will and heaps of generosity.
No dark side to the fashion industry?So, this is the point. You come here not knowing how the camera manufacturing business works and make up all kinds of rubbish. Well, it is a cheap shot. Just like me painting an extreme image of the fashion industry. I get tired of the BS about the industry I worked in. Just as much as you probably don't like the brush I am painting your industry with. The camera business is full of talented dedicated professional, just like your industry. And I have no doubt of your talent and ability. Stick to what you know.
Anyway I think it's not worth spending anymore time arguing with a homophobic puritan.
That language is a bit harsh.
a lot of vociferous words here. In a way, I can understand them.Personaly, I don't feel absolutly attacked nor concern by homophobic puritan. I think Fred readed selectively what he wanted.My best friend is gay, 2 of my very good friends are gays, I've been working many times with gays, I'm actually invited to their homes and partiesand always had great respect, and received the same respect from them.I am one of the very few men that is allowed and welcome to enter in a private lesbian bar here, and I've been helping many times some gay or lesbian in their carreer acheivement or personal problems and also received help from them.Actually, you might know a Little less than I do the gay world. If you knew it, you'd know that "gayish" is a term they actually use themselves as "falling into" whenthey tend to fall-or been trapped into a certain kind of parade. Themselves, use frequently those expressions for describing certain type of things.A gay person would have actually smelled perfectly what was the real meaning of my thoughts in the context I was describing.As puritan, I won't talk about my private life here, but...well...if I'd say to people who know me: "hey, this guy told me I'm puritan", I think everybody would fall laughin in tears.But that's not the point, as I said, I don't felt concerned by those attacks, it's like Fred was talking about someone else, so no objection,no problem, nothing wrong. Fred doesn't know me personaly and couldn't know from where I was using certain words and why.I can understand why such a visceral reaction from him (or someone else). Then, If someone responds with agressivity or harshness, (whatever the subject is, whatever the person is, it's the person's concern).Fred used the lenguaje he feels like to, according to what he understood or wanted to understand of my post. Actually the points that Fred was making on my "evil" post were not the ones I was trying to explain. Nothing to do with Testino talents and merits. Nothing to do with hard work. Nothing to do with people having fun and having good time, nothing to do with MT recognition and sweetness others feels with him, nothing to do with the quality of his pictures etc etc...none of the points Fred mentionned had something to do with what I was talking about. But I won't re-write differently in order to precise better my points and try to be understood. That would be loosing time and turning arround concepts that have nothing to do with the thread.As I don't write in my native lenguaje, well, that's what is and it's always a risk to be misinterpretated. (if I see that even between same native lenguaje posters misinterpretations are legions...so)Everything's perfectly fine for me. No offense felt. Not concerned.Precisions made and time to move on.Cheers.
baroque, gayish, snobish lite lite lite...ridiculously corny; watch specialy the end, MT negligible is telling all; the photos were good, but that's what's arround that stinks.
To FredBGGAnd go on and on and on....like the Little nervous dog that doesn't want to release the toyI wrote time to move-on, been more tan educated with you, now being treated as an idiot, inventing some sort of carreer advisor for gays or lesbians that you just interpretated from my words,just inventing, interpretating, Reading what you want and more importantly, thinking that you know and that you are important.Let me tell you mister Fred what I think of you before I wisedly disable in this forum your sickening and agressive posts.You is just ego. And you have a huge problem with your ego and should consult a guru or a psy. There is a lot of work to do here.Constantly critisizing and judging people, constantly attacking MF users, being harsh when you read something that is not according to your beleif,allowing you to litterally insult when nobody insulted you. Giving constant lessons in this forum from some sort of knowledge that makes you beleive you are on the top.The thing is that you'd like to be at the top, but you're not.But, mister Fred, if you really were at the top, 1) you wouldn't have time to post all those crapperies on MF that we read all the time2) you would not even feel the need to talk about those things nor being rude to anybody You are insecure, you have a completly immoderate ego, and you feel superior.In short: poor person indeed.From now on, I won't have the privilege to read your stupid posts so no need to answer, don't loose more time on that.

University of Southern Mississippi Gulf Park instructor Robert Turnbull enjoys trying to understand why animals behave in a certain manner.
Robert Turnbull serves as an instructor of biological sciences within the College of Science and Technology on The University of Southern Mississippi Gulf Park Campus in Long Beach. He can be found working with students and providing hands-on experiences in the fields of zoology, animal behavior, ecology and anatomy and physiology. He took a few moments recently to reflect on his current responsibilities and outside interests in a question-and-answer format.
Q: What is your hometown and educational background?
Recent Southern Miss graduate and reigning Miss Mississippi Hannah Roberts is tearing down stereotypes as a contestant in this week's Miss America pageant.
I'd been waiting on this conversation for eight months. Then it happened on Sunday, and I couldn't be more pleased. Here's the short version.
"Why do you have pink goggles in your office?" my 6-year-old asked me.
"It's because we're supporting Miss Hannah in the Miss America Pageant, and she wears pink goggles when she's learning about science," I said.
"She likes science?" my daughter inquired.
The University's acquisition of the unique Point Sur research vessel helps Southern Miss not only enhance the high-quality education and research opportunities we provide as the leading marine science institution in the state of Mississippi, but it will also provide valuable benefits to our community and associated marine economy.
Recently, I had the opportunity to experience a significant milestone in the growth and development of The University of Southern Mississippi's research program as the research vessel Point Sur made its way across the Panama Canal. As I traveled to the country of Panama, entered the waters of both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, and explored the most recent addition to USM's fleet, I was struck by the impact this vessel will have on our marine science research initiatives.
Our ability and willingness to come together and talk through issues will build a solid foundation for the University and the coastal community to become a much more economically progressive area.
As President of The University of Southern Mississippi, I am deeply troubled that USM's commitment to meeting the needs of the Mississippi Gulf Coast has been called into question. I am aware of the historical tension surrounding access to higher education in the coastal community, and I respect each community member who has worked tirelessly to ensure that the coast is not marginalized or overlooked but is instead recognized as a critical region that deserves access to quality educational opportunities.
As a top-tier research university, we pride ourselves on developing new innovation techniques.
The University of Southern Mississippi has much for which to be thankful.
