Venezuela has been a key Latin American market for many Canadian exporters across a range of sectors. Imported goods are critical to the Venezuelan economy. Nevertheless, Venezuela's excessive dependence on oil, high inflation, restrictive access to foreign exchange, and ongoing nationalizations have increased the risk of doing business in Venezuela. Accordingly, there has been a sharp decline in exporter and investor interest in this Andean market.
Through our representation in Bogotá, Colombia, we provide regional support to Canadian companies planning on or currently doing business in Venezuela. Our regional representatives have developed strategic relationships with major buyers in key sectors as well as an extensive network of local contacts in the market.

I'm not familiar with the Bellflower realtors. What I would do if I were you is talk to people in the community that have bought or sold property in the last 5 years. Find out what they liked & what they didn't like about the experience. Based on this info, I would interview 3 & pick the individual you feel most comfortable with. Warning: the busiest realtor, isn't always the best realtor.

What Might Have Been
Chapter 8: Happiness
By: SleeplessScribe
Nova and I were both ecstatic about my pregnancy, but it was a little disheartening to learn that I was now prohibited from flying but so far or so high until I had the foals. This meant I wasn't able to practice for the induction ceremony. My husband told me he wouldn't practice either, but I pretty much made him continue and was content with watching him. I was also unable to participate in races this season, since I was only five months in when racing season actually began.
Unfortunately, a few accidents postponed the induction ceremony for quite a while. I never did get good details on what happened, but the event landed five new recruits in the hospital. Some were worse off than others, but they were all out after another few months. Luckily, I was able to at least watch the induction ceremony, though I had to be helped by Gale and Overcast. I looked like I had swallowed a basketball at this point, and they

Chapter 6: Now and Forever
By: SleeplessScribe
We spent some time after that preparing everything for the wedding. We had quite a bit of help, but things were put on hold about a week after Nova proposed. While we were looking through a book for food recipes we could serve, someone started knocking at our door. My eyes widened when I saw Soarin on the other side sporting the blue and yellow uniform I had been dreaming of for years.
"Excuse me, ma'am, do you have a moment to hear about the good news?"
I was honestly half tempted to say "No thank you" and close the door on him teasingly. "Only if you tell me why you're wearing that."
He stepped in after the door was completely open and looked around. "Where's Nova?"
"Somebody call me?" Just as Soarin closed his mouth, my fiancé trotted in from the kitchen. "Whoa, Soarin, where'd you get the outfit?"
Soarin chuckled

Chapter 5: The Best Day
By: SleeplessScribe
That wasn't the last time Nova snuck into my room for some intimacy, and not once did we get caught. Two years later, we were still together, and we graduated from the academy at the top of the top. At the graduation ceremony, representatives of the Equestrian Association of Airborne Racing were all too eager to have us as part of the sport. Our careers as professional racers began immediately, and within a year, we had already acquired the necessary qualifications to move up from the Initial Circuit to the Professional Circuit.
Our timing couldn't have been better, either. We entered the pro circuit right at the end of racing season, so we got to start right at the beginning. Not only that, but we learned that this year was a selection year, meaning that at the end of racing season, during the big Haytona 500, scouts from the Wonderbolts would be watching for potential members.

Chapter 3: Change
By: SleeplessScribe
That summer was almost impossible to wait through. Somehow, we managed to make it, and we couldn't wait to start our new lives at the academy. To be honest, it was a lot like Junior Speedsters, except much more challenging. We flew through the first two years, and while we made new friends there, the two of us were still inseparable. In fact, we had grown a lot closer, to the point that others started asking questions.
------- 15 Years Old -------
The first two years on campus were a bit restrictive, but once I entered my third year, I was allowed to leave the campus whenever I wanted. Winter in Cloudsdale was rarely fun, so my new little group of friends flew down to Baltimare for winter break where it was a bit warmer. Of course Nova was with us, but there was also his friend Soarin, and my two friends Gale and Overcast.
Believe it or not, Baltimare's beaches were pretty warm, even in the middle o

That was that. Nova and I, while we were still good friends, were always finding things with which to compete. We'd compete for who could eat the fastest, who could eat the most, who could hold their breath longest, who could jump highest, who could fly fastest, who could fly highest, and so many other things.
Before we knew it, years had gone by, and we were too old for Sunbeam Daycare. That's when our parents both enrolled us in Junior Speedsters Flight Camp. Whenever Nova wasn't pushing bullies off his sister's back or in a class that I wasn't also in, we were together, and it was great.
------- 9 Years Old -------
Junior Speedsters was awesome! For the most part, everyone was nice, I learned a lot, and most importantly, I had Nova in most of my classes. Granted, for the actual school-like classes, we only had two where we were seated close to each other, but it was still
Two Peas In A Pod"I still can't believe how crazy today was!" Twilight Sparkle blew a tuft of hair away from her eyes as she surveyed the clean-up effort currently on-going across Canterlot. Though the Changeling army had been driven from that hallowed city, the damage was still intense. All around ponies worked hard to tidy away piles of rubble and put out small fires amongst the wreckage.Two Peas In A Pod by Blueshift2k5
Twilight turned to her brother who was silently scanning over a set of building plans whilst watching the repair efforts, doing his best to remain stoic but more importantly, ignoring her. She gave him a friendly smack to the back of the head with her hoof. He still did not reply. "So, strange thing " Twilight continued. "When I met Cadance the real Cadance that is, in the caves, she was all set to get married. So you must have been close to your wedding date when she was switched with the Changeling Queen " She trailed off again, looking up at her brother.

A Pony Vore RequestIn a place in Pony Ville, lived a pony named Minee. She was a dark grey pony, that has purple pink hair and blue eyes.A Pony Vore Request by Weirdwritter
She lived with her mother, that usually was out of the house. But she always had company by a pony by the name of Planet-man. His cutie-mark being a sword, he was a neon green pony with a white/blonde and green mane. He also had blue eyes, though a dark shade. His tail was cut really short. Minee called him Planet.
Planet almost always got on her nerves and she couldn't figure out why she kept inviting him over? Was it because she needed company while mommy was away? Or did she just want him there? There was a different reason, and Minee couldn't figure it out.
Minee was trying to sleep, so she read from a random book she found in a section that was entitled "Unreal/Maybe" the cover was titled as,
"A learner's guide to vore" the author was Anoymunos. Minee decided she'd find out what "vore" was and then just stop reading.
She opened the book awkardly with her hoove.
Friendship, Disharmony and Sonic Ch. 5It was a nice sunny day at the park. Mordecai and Rigby were cleaning up the park from another mishap that occurred that they were involved in. There was garbage, debris from the grass, the fountain was destroyed again and a couple of ripped trees scattered throughout the park. Rigby was trying to pass the time by telling Mordecai some jokes, but the blue jay was feeling down and angry, and he did not respond to any of the jokes he told. Noticing his attitude, Rigby said, "Dude, what's with you? You haven't been yourself lately."Friendship, Disharmony and Sonic Ch. 5 by natedeanmaan
Mordecai responded with a grunt, remembering what had happened before the incident at the park occurred.
He and Rigby were on their lunch break and had gone to the coffee shop. Mordecai had planned on asking Margaret out almost every time he and Rigby go there. Unfortunately, with how shy he is around Margaret, and with Rigby's
Friendship, Disharmony and Sonic Ch. 4Sonic ran as fast as he could through the forest. He knew that if he went ahead of Tails and Knuckles to get the first emerald, the whole thing could be a lot easier to handle. Not to mention that he can beat Discord to the emerald, rather than let him get a head start at getting the emeralds. While running through the forest, he noticed that it started to change as he ran deeper into the woods. After noticing the change, Sonic started slowing down, and looked around the new area. The sun started to rise after he walked around for a while.Friendship, Disharmony and Sonic Ch. 4 by natedeanmaan
"Where am I?" he asked himself. He looked at the trees and said, "These trees look too different from the ones from earlier." Realization struck him after he got a better look at the trees. He then said, "Hold on, are these, Apple trees?"
Sonic walked up to one of the trees and saw apples on them. He then ran up the top of the hill the apple trees were on and saw a barn, a town, a castle on the side of a mountain f

Halo Nevus Workup
- Author: Edward J Zabawski, Jr, DO; Chief Editor: Dirk M Elston, MD more...
Other Tests
Performing an examination using a Wood lamp may aid in differentiating halo nevi from other disorders.
Lesions that are not uniform in shape and color or that have a papular component that is not centrally located should be considered for biopsy to exclude the presence of melanocytic atypia.
Histologic Findings
The histology of halo nevus is variable depending on the age of the lesion; however, in most cases, a dense, somewhat bandlike lymphocytic infiltrate is present in the papillary and often reticular dermis with nests of nevus cells located centrally. The lesion usually demonstrates a dome-shaped architecture similar to that seen in noninflamed nevi. Identifying residual nevus cells may be difficult in some cases, particularly with older lesions or those in which the infiltrate is quite dense. Mitotic figures usually are not seen, although occasional apoptotic cells may be identified. Macrophages may be seen within the infiltrate, some of which are laden with melanin, although, surprisingly, the number of melanophages is less than would be expected in an inflamed melanocytic lesion.
In more mature lesions, nevus cells may appear to be absent or decreased in number. Clinically, a noninflammatory halo nevus may demonstrate a halo, but, histologically, virtually no inflammatory infiltrate may be present. Conversely, some nevi may demonstrate marked inflammation, but, clinically, no halo is visible. Therefore, clinical correlation is important in rendering a diagnosis of halo nevus. The most important lesion to differentiate from halo nevus is melanoma (see Table).

Supplementary Information
I. Background
DoD is proposing to revise the DFARS to add two new clauses to notify contractors of requirements relating to Afghan taxes for contracts performed in Afghanistan.
II. Discussion and Analysis
Agreements established between the United States (U.S.) Forces and the Afghanistan government exempt U.S. contractors from paying liability for Afghan taxes. The two clauses included in the proposed rule, which implement the tax exemptions, are as follows:
III. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
Executive Orders (E.O.s) 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess all costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). E.O. 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting flexibility. This is not a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was not subject to review under section 6(b) of E.O. 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, dated September 30, 1993. This rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.
IV. Regulatory Flexibility Act
DoD does not expect this proposed rule to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities within the meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., because this rule applies to requirements for taxes to be paid under contracts that are performed in Afghanistan. However, an initial regulatory flexibility analysis has been performed and is summarized as follows.
This rule proposes to amend the DFARS by incorporating DFARS clause 252.229-70XX, Taxes-Foreign Contracts in Afghanistan, to be used in all solicitations and contracts with performance in Afghanistan, unless DFARS clause 252.229-70YY is used. This rule also includes DFARS clause 252.229-70YY, Taxes-Foreign Contracts in Afghanistan (Military Technical Agreement), to be used in all solicitations and contracts with performance in Afghanistan awarded on behalf of NATO, which are governed by the Military Technical Agreement, and upon approval of the Director, Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy, Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics.
DoD does not expect this proposed rule to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because this rule addresses requirements for taxes under contracts performed in Afghanistan. The proposed rule does not duplicate, overlap, or conflict with any other Federal rules.
DoD will also consider comments from small entities concerning the existing regulations in subparts affected by this rule in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 610. Interested parties must submit such comments separately and should cite 5 U.S.C. 610 (DFARS Case 2014-D003), in correspondence.
V. Paperwork Reduction Act
The rule does not contain information collection requirements that require the approval of the Office of Management and Budget under the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35).
List of Subjects In
Government procurement.
Amy G. Williams,
Deputy, Defense Acquisition Regulations System.
Therefore, 48 CFR parts 229 and 252 are proposed to be amended as follows:
1. The authority citation for parts 229 and 252 continues to read as follows:
41 U.S.C. 1303 and 48 CFR chapter 1.
Part 229 Taxes
2. Amend section 229.402-70 by adding paragraphs (k) and (l) to read as follows:
Additional provisions and clauses.
* * * * *
(k) Use the clause at 252.229-70XX, Taxes—Foreign Contracts in Afghanistan, in all solicitations and contracts with performance in Afghanistan, unless the clause at 252.229-70YY is used.
(l) Use the clause at 252.229-70YY, Taxes—Foreign Contracts in Afghanistan (Military Technical Agreement), in all solicitations and contracts with performance in Afghanistan awarded on behalf of NATO, which are governed by the Military Technical Agreement, if approval from the Director, Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy, Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, has been obtained prior to each use.
Part 252 Solicitation Provisions and Contract Clauses
3. Add section 252.229-70XX to read as follows:
Taxes—Foreign Contracts in Afghanistan.
As prescribed in 229.402-70(k), use the following clause:
(a) This acquisition is covered by the Agreement regarding the Status of United States Military and Civilian Personnel of the U.S. Department of Defense Present in Afghanistan with Cooperative Efforts in Response to Terrorism, Humanitarian and Civic Assistance, Military Training and Exercises, and other Activities, entered into between the United States and Afghanistan, which was concluded by an exchange of diplomatic notes (U.S. Embassy Kabul note No. 202, dated September 26, 2002; Afghanistan Ministry of Foreign Affairs notes 791 and 93, dated December 12, 2002, and May 28, 2003, respectively), and entered into force on May 28, 2003.
(b) The Agreement exempts the Government of the United States of America and its contractors, subcontractors, and contractor personnel from paying any tax or similar charge assessed within Afghanistan. The Agreement also exempts the acquisition, importation, exportation, and use of articles and services in the Republic of Afghanistan by or on behalf of the Government of the United States of America in implementing this agreement from any taxes, customs, duties, or similar charges in Afghanistan.
(c) The Contractor shall exclude any Afghan taxes, customs, duties, or similar charges from the contract price.
(d) The Agreement does not exempt Afghan employees of DoD contractors and subcontractors from Afghan tax laws. To the extent required by Afghan law, the Contractor shall withhold tax from the wages of these employees and to remit those payments to the appropriate Afghanistan taxing authority. These withholdings are an individual's liability, not a tax against the Contractor.
(e) The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (e), in all subcontracts, including subcontracts for commercial items.
(End of clause)
4. Add section 252.229-70YY to read as follows:
Taxes—Foreign Contracts in Afghanistan (Military Technical Agreement).
As prescribed in 229.402-70(l), use the following clause:
(a) This acquisition is covered by the Military Technical Agreement (MTA) entered into between the International Security Assistance Forces (ISAF) and Interim Administration of Afghanistan in April 2002 and the 2011 Letter of Interpretation issued on March 9, 2011.
(b) The MTA establishes the basic rules and exempts NATO/ISAF and its contractors and subcontractors from paying any tax or similar charge assessed within Afghanistan. The MTA also exempts the acquisition, importation, exportation and use of supplies and services in Afghanistan from all Afghan taxes, fees, duties or other form of revenue generation.
(c) The Contractor shall exclude any Afghan taxes, customs duties or similar charges from its contract price, except as modified in paragraph (d) of this clause.
(d) The ISAF 2011 Letter of Interpretation modified the MTA's tax exemption effective March 21, 2011.
(1) Local contractors are subject to tax for profits earned from NATO/ISAF contracts or subcontract and may include that tax in its contract price. The goods, materials, and supplies acquired and the services provided by local contractors for the use of NATO/ISAF, NATO member states, and non-NATO member states participating in the ISAF remain exempt from other taxes, duties, sales or other taxes, import fees, or fees of any kind. The Contractor may include the tax on profits in the contract price.
(2) Afghan citizens employed by NATO/ISAF contractors and subcontractors are subject to Afghan tax laws. To the extent required by Afghan law, the Contractor shall withhold tax from the wages of these employees and to remit those withholdings to the Afghanistan Revenue Department. These withholdings are an individual's liability, not a tax against the Contractor.
(e) The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (e), in all subcontracts including subcontracts for commercial items.
(End of clause)

BOSS 0726/KDM Eyewear
The term "visual aid" is unsuitable for BOSS 0726. This is an accessory that ushers in a new you, emphasizing your clear view on fashion. The BOSS 0726 is available in the Edel-Optics online shop in other styles from Boss collections 2015 and 2016.
The frame is specially designed for men. Sporting clear lines, New School Cool meets traditional quality. Wearing full rim eyewear, you make it unmistakably clear that you are going the whole hog. The quadratic shape makes the face appear longer, due to its straight outer edges. The frame is, therefore, particularly advantageous for more rounded facial features. Plastic frames like these combine durability and are comfortable to wear. The BOSS 0726 is a very snug fit on the ears and nose. Brown is the perfect alternative for those who find black too high in contrast. Brown flatters the face unobtrusively.
With the help of our digital dispensing optician, your prescription lenses can be configured according to your own requirements. Anti-reflective and cleaning coatings, antistatic and lotus effect are included as standard for plastic lenses.
Even if this Boss is presently not in stock, it is worth ordering now, because the current price can't be beaten. And because Edel-Optics is a paradise for bargain hunters, you can get this top model at an incredibly low price. What is labelled as "in the sale" at other online shops, is for us "all-day-everyday" prices.

The Best Methods in Finding Wholesale Vinyl Banners Online
1) Shopping online for wholesale vinyl banners is always a challenge due to the number of options one encounters after a basic Google search. The possibilities are seemingly endless! The best way to narrow down the number of options is to be very precise in your search. You'll definitely want to include the word "wholesale".
2) It's always best to keep in mind, when shopping online, that the first search matches that pop up on your computer screen are not necessarily the optimal sources to pursue. This is true in the search for Vinyl Banners at wholesale pricing. The first options that appear are companies that print pre-designed banners. The customer is shown banners that are general and not customizable. For most purposes, this is not ideal. The quality of these banners makes them almost disposable after one use.
3) If you're looking for a well-made vinyl printed display that will be used for marketing purposes, it's a great idea to limit your search to "commercial wholesale vinyl banners". Your options will improve in quality and personalization.
4) There are online shops that you'll encounter which are set up so that you can design your own banner with options that are preset. While these websites do not offer you the opportunity to send the company your personal logo or artwork, the pre-designed banners are attractive and functional. A great printed display for text only messages or subject matter that can be conveyed by general images that are available on the wholesale websites.
5) Most business owners prefer to invest in quality wholesale vinyl banners that contain their logo or artwork. If you have a brand image that has become recognizable, this is the only way to go. The top sites that are highly personalized give you the option of sending them the file containing your original design. If you want to impress your existing customers and captivate the attention of new customers, a commercial quality banner is ideal.
6) You may be surprised by the price differences you'll find in most wholesale websites. A good rule of thumb, in this case, is to remember the old saying, "You get what you pay for." Yes, you can get vinyl banners for under $10.00, but if you're intending to use them more than once, you'll be extremely disappointed in the durability of your purchase. A commercial grade vinyl banner that you can use inside and outdoors, over and over, or on a constant basis, is going to be quite a bit more than that. Look at your purchase as an investment in your business.
7) A good vinyl banner maker will deliver the exact design that you have in mind. You should be given the option of selecting a glossy or matte finish. You should also expect that any hardware needed for mounting is included with your purchase and your banner should be equipped with grommets. Many reputable banner makers also include a piece of polyvinylchloride that will thread through the top to make the banner easy to carry. This comes in handy for parades or special events.
8) If you've located the right wholesale vinyl banner source, you'll get a guarantee for your investment. The warranty will depend upon whether you're going to display your banner inside or outside. These print media that are to be used out-of-doors should come with at least a one year warranty. Those for indoor use should come with a 3 to 5 year warranty. This is an important element to consider when you're selecting a banner shop for a wholesale price. A guarantee assures you that the company you're buying from stands behind their product.
9) It's always better to do business with a company that is responsive and available to answer any questions that you may have. If there's a chat window through which you can have direct contact with a company representative, that's an excellent sign that you've found the right website to do business with. Customer service should be easy to access. In addition, if your vinyl banner is not exactly what you ordered, you can contact someone to help you right away.
10) If shipping speed and cost is an important factor for you, be sure to compare the delivery services of companies that offer wholesale vinyl banners. You'll discover that it pays to shop around for the lowest charges and quickest service. Most suppliers offer extra speedy production and delivery for an additional fee.
Ways Of Advertising Your Small Business
Email marketing
In addition to being affordable, it's very effective as you reach your potential customers in their inbox. You should start by collecting as many emails as possible. You can do this by creating an email opt-in on your website or blog.
To encourage people to give you their email addresses you should offer a valuable free download. For example, if you sell weight loss products you should offer a free e-book that gives people tips on how to eat right and lose weight.
You should then create a weekly or monthly newsletter where you give tips to your readers. If there are offers in your company, you should let your email list be the first to know about it. By being consistent and offering high quality information, you will grow your brand fast and be popular.
As rule of thumb, you should never spam your readers. If information isn't of value to your readers, you shouldn't share it.
Advertising remains one of the most effective marketing strategy. There are many forums that you can use. The most popular being: radio, Facebook, LinkedIn, TV, local newspaper, billboards, cars, sidewalk signs, flyers, posters and business cards.
Regardless of the method that you use, you should do your research and ensure that you are using a method that will reach as many of your clients as possible.
Sponsoring an event
You need to find an event that is popular with your potential clients and if you have some money, you should sponsor the event. In addition to putting your business in the eyes of your clients, this method also aids in building the reputation of your business; therefore, you stand to get in more walk-in clients.
Coupons, discounts and other incentives
Humans like saving and one of the ways of saving your clients some money is offering them coupons and discounts. You can also create a program where you reward the most frequent buyer or the buyer who makes a lot of purchases.
To create trust among the buyers you should ensure that anyone who gets a reward or coupon gets the reward.
While this method is very effective, you should be very cautious as you can find yourself spending a lot of money in the long run. You should create balance on the profits that you are making and the amount that you are giving away.
These are a few ways you can use in advertising your small business. You should note that different marketing strategies are ideal for different businesses; therefore, you should be careful of the method you use as you can end up spending a lot of money and not get any results.
For ideal results, you should work with a professional who will guide you in every step of the way.
Yard Signs – Simple Advertising Tools
Creating signs for your business, event, or school can be an expensive venture. If all you want to do is simply advertise, then choosing yard displays can be a cost effective and simple way to spread the word.
The most common use of yard displays is political signage. Typically, polling places use these advertisements in order to mark their location and show who is on the ballot. Voters also display these posters in their yards in order to show support for a specific candidate or party.
Political candidates and major parties use these signs in order to inform voters of measures that are on the ballot. The quick blurb encourages voters to cast their ballot either for or against the named measure.
Non-profit organizations use yard displays as a cheap way to get their message to the public. These institutions include churches, clubs, schools, parent-teacher associations, and even homeowners associations. In most cases, these advertisements are about upcoming events at the organization's location or at a location somewhere in the community. Some schools also sell these signs for parents to announce proudly that their child attends the school in question.
Real Estate
Real estate agencies put some of the largest markers in front of homes, convenient for passing traffic to notice and read. The agency's name may appear prominently, and there is usually contact information readily available. Some handing beams include a plastic tube with informative handouts about the home, and additional tabs may update passersby about the status of the home when it sells.
Businesses often use these small advertisers to announce one-day sales or new business openings. Those who are self-employed, such as groundskeepers or carpenters, may also use these posters as a way to generate new leads. Seasonal businesses, like tax services, use them to announce they are open and accepting new clientele.
Personal Use
There are several personal reasons that you may choose to use a yard notice. You can use the signage as a way to mark your home for a birthday or graduation party. Some people use them to announce a new addition to the family, with details such as gender.
Many homeowners also use them to indicate when yard or garage sales are in progress. In this case, these announcements are often located at the ends of the street where the house is located with arrows pointing the way to the sale. They may also include hours of operation, if you are planning to stop the garage sale at a specific time.
When displaying yard signs, you should always check with city ordinances. While announcements displayed on private property may have no direct regulation, there may be laws and ordinances governing the signage displayed on public property, such as along roadsides.
How the Super Bowl Became the Holy Grail of Media Buying
Media buying refers to the practice of advertisers purchasing the actual form for their messages. It might be airspace on a television or radio network, room in a magazine or newspaper, or, more recently, banners on popular websites. The advertising industry was into advanced metrics before it was hip. The Don Drapers of the world have long been concerned with target audiences, key demographics, and ratings. Getting a message in front of not just many eyeballs, but the right eyeballs, is a precise (and lucrative) science. You don't need algorithm-based analytics, however, to understand why an ad slot during the Super Bowl is the most coveted and expensive 30 seconds on television.
Media buying during the Super Bowl is an extremely effective way to reach a broad group of people. The game has become an event with people around the country hosting watch parties that frequently draw even non-football fans. Super Bowl XLIX in 2015 had an estimate 114 million viewers making it the most watched television event in American history, topping the record set by the previous year's game. This increasingly large viewership has allowed the networks airing the game to demand ultra-premium prices for advertising time. The cost of a 30 second slot during the first game in 1967 was $36,500 (about $265,000 in today's dollars). The cost of a 30 second slot in 2015 averaged a stupefying $4.5 million.
The advertisements have become a cultural phenomenon unto themselves. In fact, it's not at all uncommon these days to hear people say things like "oh, I just watch for the commercials." In fact, the cultural significance is part of the reason why the prices are so high. There is no other television event where people talk about the ads at work the next day. There are now whole shows dedicated to analyzing and critiquing the ads (no word on how much a 30 second spot costs during those shows). This echo-chamber effect means that a good plug could potentially be invaluable (and even the bad ones get talked about). A good spot can put a company on the map and some of the best have become icons within the industry.
An early example of an iconic spot is "Mean" Joe Greene's work for a certain soft drink. Joe Greene throws a jersey to a kid after a game, belying his nickname. While the spot technically aired a few months before, the Super Bowl immortalized it, in part because Joe Greene's Steelers were playing in (and won) that game. In another now-famous bit, a computer company hired Hollywood director Ridley Scott to make a 60-second commercial that played on George Orwell's 1984 (not coincidentally, the year it aired) and had hints of Scott's "Blade Runner." The wordless, dystopian futurism of the competition was smashed by a sledgehammer wielding runner, the opening salvo in the PC ad wars.
With so many viewers, and so much hype, it's not hard to see why football's biggest stage has become the holy grail of media buying.

This is a Divisional Application of Ser. No. 009,627 filed Feb. 6, 1979; which is a divisional application of Ser. No. 837,130 filed Sept. 28, 1977, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,160,719 patented July 10, 1979.
The invention pertains to a process for preparing iron-containing ceramic balls.
Oil shale is the colloquial term for a wide variety of laminated sedimentary rocks containing organic matter that can be released predominantly only by destructive distillation. While some removal of organic matter by solvents is possible, the amount so removed is quite small and is not feasible on an economical basis. This characteristic permits clear distinction from tar sands which are rock or sand formations actually impregnated with oil.
Oil shales generally contain over one-third mineral matter. The organic portion, a mixture of complex chemical compounds, has been termed "kerogen". Kerogen is simply a generic name for the organic material foundin such circumstances, but it is not a definite material since kerogen compositions differ when derived from differing shales.
While oil shales have been utilized for centuries as a source of fuel, such uses have generally been small, and the great potential for the huge deposits in various locations around the world remains to be unlocked on a feasible commercial scale.
Shale oil is a dark, viscous organic liquid obtained by pyrolyzing oil shale. Refining of the shale oil is similar to the handling of crude petroleum as far as the basic refining steps and end use products are concerned. Shale oil, of course, is not "crude oil". Destructive pyrolysis of crushed shale yields shale oil, but under the pyrolysis conditions commonly employed, a disproportionation of carbon and hydrogen structures equivalent to internal hydrogenation is believed to occur. A large percentage of this heavy kerogen converts to a liquid, some to light gases, and the rest remains as a carbon-rich residue on the inorganic matrix. Shale oil in some respects may be considered as intermediate in composition between petroleum and coal tar, comparing for example the C:H atomic ratio of about 6:7 for petroleum, about 7:9 for shale oil, and about 10:16 for coal carbonization products.
The Tosco process of retorting oil shales employs a cocurrent flow of hot ceramic balls and oil shale in a rotating drum means. The oil shale takes up heat from the balls, and the oil vapors produced are drawn off into a collection system, leaving a spent shale admixed with the balls. The spent shale is transferred to a furnace where residue-carbon is burned off to provide reheating of the balls. The main advantages of the Tosco system are the relatively high throughput rates achieved in proportion to the size of equipment, and the production of high-BTU off-gas since there is no dilution thereof by combustion products. However, one serious disadvantage of the Tosco process has been just how to separate the ceramic balls from the spent shale.
I have discovered that iron-containing refractory balls, containing sufficient iron in a magnetic state, when used in the Tosco retorting process for oil shale, provide for the effective magnetic separation of the balls from the spent shale.
The iron can be incorporated in a ceramic shell around a plain ceramic core, or mixed throughout the ceramic balls, or in the interior of the ball with a ceramic shell therearound.
It also presently appears that where the iron-containing balls contain surface iron that these desirably tend to catalyze the shift of CO in the retort to CO2 and H2 via the reaction of CO+H2 O+CO2 +H2.
Crushed raw shale 1, preferably fed via a surge hopper (not shown), is fed to a shale preheater 2 which receives hot flue gases 3 in order to preheat the shale and produce a preheated shale 4. The cooled gases 5 preferably are scrubbed by a scrubber 6 to provide clean gases 7 for discharge to the atmosphere. The preheated shale 4 is combined with hot ceramic balls 8 into a pyrolysis drum 9 for conversion of the kerogen contained in the oil shale to shale oil.
In my drawing, separation of the hot balls is accomplished at the outlet 11 of the pyrolysis drum 9 by a magnetic separator 12 by which the now hot carbonaceous-coated ceramic balls are separated 13 from the shale oil and spent oil shale. The shale oil and spent oil shale 14 are sent to separator 15. Of course, the shale oil can be first separated, if desired, and then the hot carbonaceous iron-containing ceramic balls subsequently separated from the hot spent shale.
The oil shale and shale oil 14 are separated such as in a shale separator 15, such as a gravity separator, to provide a stream of spent shale 16 which preferably is cooled (not shown) before final disposal, such as to an area from which the oil shale had already been mined. Cooling of the hot spent shale 16 can be accomplished, if desired, by such as preheating air 25 for use in reheating 24 spent balls 13, or can be used to assist in preheating the crushed raw shale by indirect heat exchange therewith (not shown).
The separated shale oil 18 is fractionated 19 to provide suitable streams such as of hot off-gas 21, naphtha 22, gas oil 23, and residue 24, for further processing. The carbonaceous coated hot balls are conveyed 13 to a ball heater 24 where at least a portion of the hot off-gases 20 and 21a from fractionation 19 together with air 25 are used to burn off the carbonaceous residue and produce clean hot balls 8 for return to the pyrolysis drum 9. The hot flue gas stream 3 effluent from the ball heater 24 provides a source of hot flue gases for the shale preheater 2. Excess off-gases 21 can be used, if desired, to partially preheat (not shown), preferably by indirect heat exchange, the incoming crushed raw shale 1.
FIG. 2 shows briefly a method of making iron-containing ceramic balls characterized in cross-sections by an inner alumina-core, a shell of iron particles around said core, and an outer coating of ceramic alumina. Powdered alumina 31 and water 32 are admixed in such as a pug mill 33 to form a wet extrudable mixture 34 which is extruded 35 to form wet cylinders 36. These wet cylinders are reshaped in a first rotary drum 37 to produce balls 38. Further iron particles are added 41 to overcoat the balls in a second rotary drum 39, producing iron particle coated balls 42. Further powdered alumina 44 and water 45 are added thereto in a third rotary drum 43 to provide alumina overcoated iron particle coated balls 46. These latter are fired in a kiln 47 to produce the described ceramic balls 48, and cooled 49, to cooled balls 51.
In accordance with my process, the refractory balls for use in my modified Tosco retorting process for oil shale are prepared so as to incorporate iron in a magnetic form.
These balls preferably are of a high alumina refractory. A high alumina refractory preferably should compromise about 85 to 95 percent Al2 O3, less than 10 percent silica, and may and usually will contain traces of iron and titanium oxides typically in the order of such as about 1 to 2 percent. Any such naturally occurring or included iron oxides are not sufficient magnetic properties of significance to provide sufficient magnetic properties to the ceramic balls heretofore employed. The iron-containing ceramic balls employed in accordance with my invention contain sufficient iron to impart effective magnetic separation characteristics, such as about 10 to 90, preferably about 20 to 80, more preferably about 30 to 60 weight percent.
In accordance with my process, the size of the iron-containing balls can range widely so long as effective, but generally will have a diameter of such as about 1/8" to 2", preferably about 3/8" to 5/8", presently more preferably and presently conveniently about 1/2 inch in diameter. The balls containing iron can range somewhat in size, depending on the density, and particular operating characteristics employed in the Tosco process. The balls need not be truly spherical, but can vary somewhat, such as between spherical, and, for example, egg- or nut-shaped.
Suitable ceramic balls containing magnetic iron can be made by various methods. For example, a suitable high-alumina refractory in finely powdered form, such as about 5 to 10 micron particles, water, and iron particles, such as filings or shot, can be admixed in a pug mill mixer to produce an extrudable admixture, and extruded into cylinders of such as about 1/4�1/4 inch to 1/2�1/2 inch, or as suitable to result in the final desired sizing as discussed above. The cylinders then can be tumbled in a rotary drum so as to provide balls suitable size, such as of the order of such as about 1/4 to 1/2 inch diameter.
In an alternative method, finely divided high-alumina refractory and water are admixed, but without the iron, and formed in an extruder to provide cylinders of suitable size. These cylinders are tumbled in a rotary drum so as to provide a first sized wet alumina balls. These first-sized wet alumina balls are admixed with iron filings or shot in a second rotary drum step, so as to coat the first formed balls with the iron filings. These iron-filing coated alumina balls then are admixed with further water and further high-alumina, such as in further rotary drum step, so as to provide, in effect, a ball with a ceramic core, an iron filing coating thereover, and over that additional alumina.
Another alternative mode of preparation includes admixing the finely divided refractory-grade alumina and water, but without any iron, to form a thick mixture which is passed through a roll-type briquetting machine, pelleting mill, or tableting press. Prior to passing the alumina mixture into the cavities of the mill or press, an iron particle such as a burr is inserted into each cavity and can be held in the cavity by such as a cleat or small magnet. The iron-particle containing pellets are subsequently treated to produce balls in effect with an internal iron piece or burr.
Another suitable method is to use iron shot, tumble the iron shot with the powdered high refractory-grade alumina and sufficient water to result in an alumina-coated shot, thus a ball with a iron center.
Any of these methods, or any others known to those skilled in the ball arts, provide iron-containing pre-balls which then are fired in such as a kiln at temperatures of the order of about 2800� to 3400� F., preferably such as about 3000� to 3200� F., for a sufficient time such as about 1/2 to 5 hours. Firing need not be in an oxygen free atmosphere. The fired iron-containing ceramic balls are cooled, preferably in the substantial absence of oxygen, and stored as needed for use in my modification of the Tosco process.
An alternative process to making the iron-containing balls, and one that may well be quite attractive considering the fact that it uses some of the spent shale, is to employ fine particles of spent shale of such as up to about 1/8" to 1/4" particle size, treat these with dilute alkali such as caustic soda of such as about 0.5 N in leach mixer means at a temperature of such as about 60� to 90� F. to provide an alkaline slurry of such as about 40 weight percent solids. This slurry is separated and washed in solid-liquid separator means, such as a centrifuge, and the solid materials are separated out to waste. The liquor, containing dissolved alumina, preferably heated to an elevated temperature of such as about 150� F., is adjusted as to pH with an alkali metal hydroxide such as sodium hydroxide, to result in a floc which is substantially aluminum hydroxide. The aluminum hydroxide floc can be admixed with iron filings or shot, having a particle size of such as about 0.001 to 0.1 inch, and the mixture separated such as by filtration or centrifugation followed by washing to remove dissolved salts and water. The filter cake, now containing such as about 85% Al2 O3 as Al(OH)3, can be admixed with high alumina ceramic material, if desired, dried as necessary, extruded, and employed as hereinbefore described to produce an iron-containing ceramic ball.
As will have been noted, certain of the processes tend to result in a limited amount of iron substantially on the surface of the ceramic ball. It is to be anticipated that such surface iron may tend to promote formation of carbon at the surface of the ball at the reducing conditions involved in retorting of the shale oil, which may tend to decrease somewhat the life of the balls. Of course, such carbon effectively will be substantially burned off at the time of air treatment of the ball. Processes of ball-making by which most of the iron is internal tend to minimize this effect. At the same time such surface iron is presently believed to be advantageous in promoting the shift of CO in the retort to CO2 and H2.
In accordance with my modification of the Tosco process, raw oil shale is crushed to a small readily handled size, such as about 1/8 to 2 inch, and preferably processed through a surge hopper so as to provide a reservoir of the crushed raw shale. The crushed raw oil shale optionally can be at least partially pre-heated by initial indirect heat exchange with hot spent shale, thus conserving energy in the overall process. The crushed oil shale, optionally partially preheated, is preheated in a preheater means by direct contacting with hot flue gases as hereinafter described. The hot flue gases preheat the crushed shale to a suitable temperature of such as about 300� F. to 700� F., preferably such as about 500� F., in a dilute-phase fluid bed operation.
The preheated shale and flue gases then are separated. The flue gases are still sufficiently hot as to permit recovery in such as a waste heat boiler, if desired. The existing flue gases preferably are scrubbed before release to the atmosphere. The preheated shale is admixed in a retort means, such as a rotating pyrolysis drum, with hot ceramic iron-containing balls, preferably under cocurrent flow conditions. The hot ceramic iron-containing balls generally are preheated to a temperature of such as about 1000� F. to 1800� F., more usually about 1200� F. prior to admixture with the preheated crushed oil shale. Usually such as about 2 tons of the heated balls are circulated per ton of preheated oil shale. These hot balls when admixed with the preheated crushed oil shale result in a mixture temperature of such as about 850� F. to 1050� F., more usually such as about 950� F. Under these conditions the kerogen in the oil shale is converted to a variety of materials, forming shale oil which also contains minor amounts of nitrogenous compounds and oxygenated compounds. Some carbonaceous residues may tend to build up on the ceramic balls during the pyrolysis of the oil shale.
The admixture of spent shale, shale oil, and spent carbonaceous ceramic balls, then is treated for separation. Some light ends can be removed at the pyrolysis drum, though more usually the entire pyrolysis admixture is treated to separate the hot spent balls, the hot spent shale, and the shale oil. Separation of the hot carbonaceous spent balls can be readily accomplished by means such as magnetic separator means which is of a type such as a Dings induced-roll separator, rotor-type electrostatic separator, or other commercially available suitable magnetic separator means. The admixture of spent shale and oily materials comprising the shale oil can be separated in a gravity-type vapor-solid separator, such as a Howard gas-solids separator. It presently is considered preferable for materials-handling purposes and equipment sizing, to separate the hot spent balls substantially at the exit of the contacting means, and subsequently separate the shale oil from the spent shale. However, if desired, the shale oil can be first separated and subsequently the spent balls and spent shale can be separated. The separated spent shale is preferably cooled to conserve energy and for final disposal. The hot spent shale, 16 on my drawing, can be at least partially cooled, if desired, such as by bringing it into indirect heat exchange (not shown) with the incoming crushed raw shale in order to at least in part partially preheat the crushed raw shale. Another option (not shown) is to use the hot spent shale to preheat, preferably by indirect means, the air tube employed in the ball heater so as to conserve energy and also to minimize hydrocarbon vapor emissions to the atmosphere.
The shale oil itself preferably is fractionated to provide such fractions as may be desired, such as an off-gas, and heavier, such as naphtha, gas oil, residue, as well as an off-gas 20 comprising light ends suitable for use in part in preheating the spent balls. Any such off-gas 21 not so needed can be otherwise employed as necessary or desired, such as in power generation for other equipment, and the like.
The separated spent balls are conveyed to a ball heater means where the balls are reheated by combustion of at least a portion of the off-gas from the fractionator, together with air, which reheating process also substantially burns off any carbonaceous residues, and reheats the balls to the desired temperatures for recycle.
The following Table I provides a calculated material balance to assist in the further understanding of my invention. Stream numbers are coordinated with my drawing, and with the discussion hereinabove.
