Editors note: This is the second in a series of articles highlighting historical places in North Augusta. If you have a suggestion for the series, email us at email@example.com or call at 803-279-2793.
One of North Augustas crown jewels has grown right along with the city while remaining consistent and rooted in the same place on West Avenue for 50 years and counting.
After years of research, Rachel Franklin, owner of the Sno-Cap Drive-In, said she successfully narrowed down the opening date of the Sno-Cap to April 1964.
Still, Franklin and her husband, Kenny, have always celebrated the anniversary in August, since it was Aug. 24, 1996, when they took over.
While preparing for the 50th anniversary celebration a couple of weeks ago, Franklin elaborated on the history of the Sno-Cap, as well as her vision for its future.
In the beginning
As Franklin hinted, information on the early days of the Sno-Cap is scarce. Still, the history of the restaurant knowingly dates back to 1964 when the original owner, Grant Hoyer, opened the doors of the restaurant.
From that era, Franklin has kept old menus and other items that reflect how prices have changed since the 1960s.
If you look at the menu, you see that you could get a Big Burger all the way for $0.50; and back then, a gallon of gas was only $0.29, she said. So, its always been cool to me how different the times were back then.
Other memorable prices at that time for the restaurant include a gallon of root beer for $0.90, a milkshake for $0.30 and the most expensive item on the menu, a fried chicken basket with fries, slaw and a roll for $1.25.
After eight years, Hoyer sold the Sno-Cap to Charles Terry in 1972.
Franklin described Terry as a well-known man in the community and as someone who had a deep passion for the Sno-Cap. During his time in charge, Franklin said the school kids always had a cool hangout.
He really made this place feel like home for any customer who walked through the door, she said.
The Franklins
After running the Sno-Cap for 22 years, Terry stepped down as owner, and Franklin saw an opportunity to assume leadership of the well-known establishment.
At the time, her husband was only her business partner, and the two teamed together to buy the Sno-Cap and officially opened for business on Aug. 24, 1996.
Franklin said the two kept the menu format and other things the same, but also changed up some things to suit a newer customer base.
One thing they started doing was throwing parties every year to celebrate the purchase.
Its always been a fun way to get the community involved, Franklin said. Kids and adults all have fun, and its great for business, so weve always enjoyed them.
Perhaps the most memorable party, Franklin said, came in 2002.
Throughout that year, an ailing Terry started living it up and drank Sno-Cap milkshakes every day, she said.
Terry was honored at the anniversary party one Saturday in August, and after a night full of memories, he died the following Monday.
We really believe he willed himself to attend that party, Franklin said.
After a 14-year run, the Franklins sold the Sno-Cap in 2009 to open up their bed and breakfast, but eventually bought it back in 2011 and continued their tradition of throwing parties.
The Big 5-0
During the last week of August, Franklin continued the tradition of anniversary parties by celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Sno-Cap.
Usually, all of the events are squeezed into a day or two of activities. This year, Franklin literally and metaphorically spread the love by holding events from Aug. 23 through Aug. 30.
Its just easier and less stressful to do it that way instead of trying to fit everything into a tiny box, she said.
On Aug. 23, the Sno-Cap held Customer Appreciation Day and also held a tribute to the CSRA Road Angels Car Club.
On Aug. 24, the restaurant held an Employee Reception during which employees over the past 50 years were invited to come visit.
Other events throughout the week included a bike night, kids night, and several other tributes to friends and supporters of the Sno-Cap.
Over the years, customers have always made it a point to write their names in an address book at the restaurant, which is another memento that gets revisited during the anniversaries.
Franklin said the whole experience reminds her of how many people from different states the Sno-Cap has served.
Other customer favorites during the reunion and throughout the year include purchasing Sno-Cap T-shirts; Franklin said more than 500 are sold per year.
Its always an exciting time and a great chance to see old faces from over the years, she said. And its never about the money. Its a celebration of how historical this restaurant is.
What the future holds
A teary-eyed Franklin said that, as much as she loves the Sno-Cap and the amazing legacy shes been a part of, she knows her familys position as owners cant last forever.
Our kids are grown up, and theyve moved from the area. So I know, at some point, wed want to be closer to them; and there are just other things we want to be able to do, as well, she said.
Franklin hopes to pass the Sno-Cap on to someone who will continue to preserve its history and show respect for the heritage it has in North Augusta.
People always ask if its for sale, and the answer is yes, Franklin said.
We know that we cant keep the momentum up forever; theres always someone younger and hungry looking for this great opportunity, she said.
As shes experienced, Franklin believes the opportunities to host birthday parties, anniversaries and other events are endless.
While she knows the Sno-Cap would be a great purchase, she readily admitted that it isnt necessarily a livelihood, but rather a business for which someone would have to be passionate about.
We hope, with the coming of Project Jackson and other signs of growth, someone will want to buy it, she added. Its an amazing place and has been a part of this community for such a long time.

Diversification, Bank Risk and Performance: A Cross-Country Comparison
Jarrett Emory Kotrozo
California State University, Stanislaus

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) - Lally School of Management & Technology
October 2006
The purpose of this paper is to continue the discussion regarding the diversification of both banking activities and geographical diversification as it relates to performance and risk. Herfindahl indices are used to measure diversification and a number of risk and performance measures are tested including Tobin's q, annualized stock returns and total risk. The results suggest the type of diversification can have varying impacts on both performance and risk. Specifically, banks focused in their revenue activities have higher levels of q than those diversifying their activities. Banks which are more geographically focused, however, have lower annualized stock returns. Banks with an activity focus or those who are geographically diversified also experience higher relative levels of risk. These results have potential implications for bank managers, shareholders and monitors/regulators.

text: This is the Westport, CT home of Indian-American businessman Rajat Kumar Gupta, a former Goldman Sachs director and board member, who also was once the global head of elite consultancy McKinsey & Company, and his wife AnitaMattoo Gupta. In his capacity at McKinsey, Gupta was recognized as the first Indian-born CEO of a global corporation. The home, located in Greens Farms, a section of Westport, CT, was once owned by James Cash Penny, Jr., co-founder of J.C. Penny Company, Inc., best known for JCPenny stores. Mr. and Mrs. Gupta purchased the 2.28 acre property in 1999 for $6,125,000 ($6.125 million). They have done a lot of renovation to the original home, which was built in 1920, as evidenced by the BEV images. The current assessed value of the home is $12,482,000 ($12.482 million). It contains 8 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms and overlooks Long Island Sound. The home was featured in an article on Mr. Gupta in Bloomberg Markets magazine in the July 2011 issue. Mr. Gupta also owns an apartment in New York, NY, a ranch in Pagosa Springs, CO, and a waterfront home in Palm Island, FL. "On October 26, 2011, Gupta was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation on charges of securities fraud and conspiracy as part of an ongoing and wide-ranging insider trading case in which Gupta's close associates Raj Rajaratnam and Anil Kumar were convicted and pled guilty, respectively." "The SEC had said Gupta passed illegal tips to Raj Rajaratnam about Goldman, including a possible multibillion dollar investment from Warren Buffett, as well as tips about Procter & Gamble Co, where Gupta was also a director." "The Securities and Exchange Commission sued Gupta the same day. Gupta entered a plea of not guilty and was released on $10 million bail. Previously, from March to August 2011, the SEC had filed administrative suit against Gupta, been countersued by Gupta, and then dropped those charges. During that period, Gupta's conversations on tape with Rajaratnam, particularly those made while Gupta was a board member of Goldman Sachs, were played during Rajaratnam's trial and attracted widespread attention and notoriety. In the lead up and wake of the original SEC charges, Gupta resigned the majority of his corporate and philanthropic positions." Rajat Gupta's associate, Raj Rajaratnam, is the founder of Galleon Group, which was one of the largest hedge fund management firms in the world, managing over $7 billion, before closing in October 2009. The firm was at the center of a 2009 insider trading scandal that resulted in investors pulling capital from the firm rapidly. Raj Rajaratnam's Greenwich, CT estate is also featured on this site. The following details provide significant details on Rajat Gupta background, insider-trading scandal, as well as pictures of the property from a local magazine: http://finance.fortune.cnn.com/2011/03/01/sec-charges-raj-gupta-as- insider-trading-bust-widens http://www.westportnow.com/index.php?/v2_5/comments/reports_westporter_to_surrender_on_insider_trading_charges http://www.westportnow.com/ee/images/uploads/59beachsideave03011101pop.jpg http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-05-17/gupta-secretly-defied-mckinsey-before-sec-s-tipster-accusation.html http://www.coolavenues.com/news-wire/b-school-news/rajat-gupta-offers-resign-isbs-chairman http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/11_22/b4230056624680.htm http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/11_22/b4230000441321.htm http://in.reuters.com/article/2011/10/26/idINIndia-60126520111026 http://finance.fortune.cnn.com/tag/rajat-gupta/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greens_Farms http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J.C._Penney http://people.forbes.com/profile/rajat-kumar-gupta/36453 http://people.forbes.com/rankings/rajat-kumar-gupta/36453 http://www.moneycontrol.com/news/features/rajat-gupta-crossedfine-line_562265.html

Murphy's stand
With the first ever federal global warming bill out of committee, Americans have a historic opportunity to move forward in the transition to alternative energies. The bill lays groundwork that will create millions of jobs, providing a much-needed boon to our faltering economy.
With such practical and common-sense benefits, it seems obvious that this bill will finally end the decade-long wait for progressive action toward a respectable environmental policy in the world community. So, one can only wonder what Rep. Tim Murphy was thinking when he voted against the bill in the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
Perhaps he knows that Pennsylvania is the third-largest contributor to global warming pollution, behind only Texas and California, and didn't want to upset the "status quo." Perhaps he was enamored by the millions of dollars spent on more than 2,000 lobbyists by oil companies to keep the cash flowing.
Whatever the reason, Rep. Murphy should know that his constituents have the common sense to support this bill, and that he will face them directly as he tries to explain away his lack of foresight in voting against a historic and obviously beneficial bill.

Not inscribed
Screenprint, printed at Kelpra Studio, 21 5/8×20 5/8 (55×52.3)
Presented anonymously through the Friends of the Tate 1980
This proof appears to be an uncharacteristically crudely printed version of configurations similar to some used in 'As Is When' (op.cit., nos.23–35). The heavy colours on a bright yellow ground are closer to the later portfolio 'Moonstrips Empire news' 1967 (op.cit., no.37).

Learn how to create custom list segments using Analytics and AdWords along with the different ad types to stay in front of your audience.
We can hardly believe it ourselves. London's Only All-PPC Event is fast approaching, 24-26 October at etc.venues St Paul's. And we don't mean to scare you, but if you miss this one, you've got an entire year to wait for our return.
The advancement of technology has changed the way we, as marketers, need to think. Consumers are now in control of the amount of information they require and how they deliver feedback.
In this webinar, experts from Hanapin and Acquisio will review the findings from the State of PPC 2017 and discuss tips for budgeting, expanding and identifying problems in your account for the upcoming year.
Google has made great strides with the Reports tab and in this post, we will review how to create a report and give you ideas for the type of analysis you can do without ever leaving AdWords.
We're headed to London to join nearly 300 of our best PPC friends. And we still have a limited number of opportunities for your brand to join us!
Determining your need for hour of day modifiers can provide extremely competitive returns based on time invested in implementing.
Creating new device specific campaigns is a lot of work and can potentially overcrowd your account. You need to determine if this tactic is right for you.
If you'd like some more details (and we've got plenty of details), how about a rundown of the deepest, most actionable sessions you'll see. These 9 sessions are designed for the expert-level PPC professional.
I will review common themes that I see in either prospective clients, new clients, or accounts that are red that aren't living up to their potential.
In this new live webinar, Hanapin's Jacob Fairclough and SEMrush's Paul Klebanov will direct you through the process of analyzing your own account, comparing it to your competition, and taking the steps to put your brand above the rest.
I propose that knowing what your audience is thinking or even the steps in their thought process is even more beneficial than simply knowing who they are.

Marga Forester, 90, of Wynnewood, a Holocaust survivor who escaped from Nazi Germany to England on the famous Kindertransport, died Sunday, Feb. 9, of a heart attack at home.
Mrs. Forester, the former Marga Levy, was married to fellow Holocaust survivor Frank Forester, who died of respiratory failure Dec. 3, also at home in Wynnewood. He was 88. They were together 69 years.
As children - she was 16, he was 13 - the two left Germany on separate Kindertransports, the rescue effort in which Britain agreed to take in 10,000 predominantly Jewish children from Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Poland when the Nazis were gaining power.

Unbelievable.... Lew Dickey is blaming Rush Limbaugh for Cumulus losing money. How much longer will the Investment Banks want to keep this guy in charge???http://www.radio-info.com/news/the-rush-limbaugh-protests-cost-cumulus-a-couple-of-million-bucks-in-q1Hey Lew.... maybe your BONEHEAD BUSINESS moves and firing of Air Talent & Salepeople is why your losing money every Quarter. Perhaps you should quit taking the HUGE Bonuses & Stock Options and charging them back to the Company. Does your Playboy Playmate Girlfriend Vanessa Hoelsher cost that much to stay with you?
Dickey is simply a realist. They lost tons of advertisers because of Rush.
It would be a material misrepresentation for him to make a false statement about the loss of ad revenue from the Rush effect. I am glad to see it. Rush's insensitive statements and outright lies are catching up to him. Of course the aging population will tune in to his nonsense, but they are not the target audience for many advertisers. Sure if you are a advertiser selling gold, reverse mortgages and depends you stick with Rush. Any company that uses ads to scare old people will be on board.

Summary: Starting at the trailhead, walk north along the trail along the sandy jeep trail. The trail is fairly stark for about three miles. I startled three deer while hiking, jackrabbits abound and the coyotes howl in the nighttime. When you come upon Badlands Rock, you will need to skirt it unless you come between oct31st-mar1st because of the nest of a mated pair of protected prairie falcons. I hiked it in february, and when I crested the peak of Badlands Rock, I could see the snow capped peaks of the cascades in the distance. A red tailed hawk keened at me as it flew overhead. Take the left fork of the dirt road and follow it untill it tees. At the T take the left fork, unless you want to follow a gorge made from a raised lava seam. Follow the dirt road back to your trailhead. From the trailhead go back to the paved road, about .5 miles take the jeep trail to the left, follow it to the mouth of Dry River Gorge. Petroglyphs are hidden in old caves along the canyon.
Trailhead: Take hwy 20 east out of Bend, just past milepost 17 turn left onto a paved road. Drive appx 1.5 miles on the paved road untill you come to the BLM interpretive sign. park at the sign just off the road and head north along the jeep trail. When you come to the three way fork in the road, take the middle path. Upon completion of the loop, backtrack from your car apx .5 miles untill you see a jeep trail on your left. Follow the jeep trail about 1 mile untill you reach the mouth of the dry river gorge. (Lat:43.91192 Lon:-121.00175)

Reviewed by JEC on 1/11/2016
Just fyi - you cannot ride a bicycle or other vehicle in the Badlands. Hike or horses only. There are multiple trails. Dry River is 3.2 miles one way, if you rock hop about 20 yards to the high trail on the opposite side of the canyon. Badlands Rock is about 2.5 miles one way. Flatiron is a pretty hike, to cool rock. About 4 miles round trip.

The Castlewellan Under-21 side chalked up their own little bit of history when they became the first line-up from the club to host a game on their new playing complex.
The new pitch, on the Dublin Road, is a welcome addition to the Castlewellan club's existing amenities.
Club chairman Micheal Crilly, delighted to hail the new facility, maintains that more matches in various codes can now be played which should ensure the completion of fixture programmes.
"We are certainly very happy to have the new pitch in use. We have a large number of teams embracing different codes and we have to try and cater for them," points out the chairman.
Castlewellan Under-21 captain Kevin Duffin led his side out for the first game against Drumaness with Bright official Oliver Burke in charge.
"Our under-age sides deserve the best and we feel we have provided this," adds chairman Crilly.
The 8.5-acre site was purchased by the club in 2002 and the sand-based playing pitch measuring 140m x 90m was completed last month.
The work included ground levelling, drainage, a retaining wall at the Dublin Road end of the pitch and ball-stop high fencing at both ends of the pitch.
The club will now turn its attention to providing a 110m x 70m training and juvenile playing pitch with floodlights and it is hoped that the new floodlight training pitch will be completed by September 2008 - subject to members approval at the club's AGM next month.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
No One Said Sorry

Nobody said they were sorry. Bob Goodenow didn't apologize to the fans or the players for hockey's lost season. The players, who were programmed to answer questions with the same "no salary cap, no linkage'' robotic answers of last season, were all out there yesterday with their "better deal than we could have had in February'' memorized mantra. It was sickening. Goodenow thanked the fans "for their patience for a whole winter without hockey.'' Goodenow said of the new agreement: "I think it's going to work fine.'' Bettman spoke of "the world's best fans and world's best athletes'' and "world's greatest game'' less than 24 hours before going to New York to make about 50 years' worth of changes to the game to try to make it worth watching again. Couldn't somebody have said sorry? Couldn't somebody have admitted that the players ended up with a salary cap, linkage, money in escrow, a 24% salary rollback, etc., etc., etc., and lost an entire year of hockey - for nothing. So much of the deal had leaked ahead of time, the only real question was how Bob Goodenow would react.

Pesto is usually lots and lots of basil, pine nuts, parmesan cheese, and olive oil. So yeah, if you eat dairy, it's perfectly fine.
Pesto is usually lots and lots of basil, pine nuts, parmesan cheese, and olive oil. So yeah, if you eat dairy, it's perfectly fine.
and if not, then ditch the parm and make your own
yeah you are
lolBaby if you time travel back far enough you can avoid that work because the dust won't be there. You're too pretty to be working that hard.
storebought pesto is almost always garbage with creepy oils, and doesn't taste nearly as good as the real thing
plus homemade is super cheap and easy:
any soft herb - basil, cilantro, pesto, mint
+ a green - any combination of spinach, arugula, blanched kale, parsley, chives, green onions
+ almost any nut - brazil, almond, walnut, hempseed, pumpkin seed. you can also throw in chia seeds, but let them soak up some lemon juice for a bit and then blend in
+ hard cheese - traditionally parmesan, but I've also had luck with aged gouda, feta, and romano
+ lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, olive oil
The whole concept of a macronutrient, like that of a calorie, is determining our language game in such a way that the conversation is not making sense." - Dr. Kurt Harris
Agree that if you want to eat it, best to make your own to be sure of using good oils in your recepie.
Chaohinon has a good basic recepie. It's really easy.
I've made it with both olive oil and coconut oil, the coconut oil is a nice flavor variant that keeps things interesting so you don't always make the same thing every time. The traditional version with olive oil is great for imparting a traditional Italian flavor, the coconut oil version tastes more "Thai-like" and you can make it even more so by using "Thai" basil.

A veteran Philadelphia police officer accused of feeding information to his drug-dealing half-brother only did so, his lawyer said Thursday, because he thought the man was working as a federal informant.
Rafael Cordero, 52, had no idea his sibling had instead worked his way to the top echelons of one of Kensington's largest drug trafficking organizations, attorney Jack McMahon Jr. said.
"This is not a bad cop. This is not a rogue," the lawyer told jurors as Cordero's trial on federal obstruction of justice charges began Thursday. "This is a cop that always made good choices, sound choices."
FBI agents arrested Cordero in August 2012, more than a year after authorities first discovered his family bond with David Garcia, a top operator in a heroin distribution ring run by Christian "Wassa" Serrano and Edwin "June" Medina.

When we think about the future or even the present of IT, it's easy to get caught up in the vendor, analyst and media new-technology buzzword frenzy. Words and phrases such as cloud, IoT (Internet of Things), AI (artificial intelligence), Big Data, bimodal IT, DevOps, wearables and the quantified self, the consumerization of IT, BYOD and personal cloud services, and shadow IT all seem to get the headlines over the operational evolution required for many corporate IT organizations. Plus, many of these technologies/ideas are nothing new. For instance, the consumerization of IT has been around since June 2004 and is thus three years older than the Apple iPhone. Sometimes, it just takes time for new innovations and practices to permeate their way into your average corporate IT organization.
Look at the adoption of cloud, for instance. How long did it take for cloud to finally start its rapid ascent in the enterprise IT space? It can be hard to change the IT status quo, even when the technology itself is changing rapidly around it. And even when the technology does change, there are often people issues (beyond having the right technical skills and knowledge) to address. Again, using cloud as an example, it really is a case of "step away from the technology" for the IT professionals that have previously been more hands-on in the corporate data center. Now the IT professionals responsible for the infrastructure, platform or software delivered by third-party cloud service providers need to be more focused on service quality, costs, contracts and integrations.
In addition to responding to the impact of technology changes, corporate IT organizations and those within them need to better understand what IT really is – that IT is a business capability, not a department. And that the IT itself is not the required "end" – it's merely the means to an end, with the end being some form of positive business outcome. So, according to Sarah Lahav, CEO of SysAid Technologies, it's time to think differently about IT and what we ask of IT employees. While there will always be new technologies to watch and then adopt, there will also be fundamental changes required in the way that IT organizations work in partnership with business colleagues. In this slideshow, Lahav has identified five technology and operational trends that will help corporate IT organizations deliver better business outcomes via the optimal use of technology.

Hi, I am really interested in getting a job at some point where I can help pregnant or new moms to learn about breastfeeding and AP. How do I get started as a lactation consultant or teach about AP? I am very passionate about these things and would love to have a career with them...anyone else doing these things or thinking about them? Thanks :)
On IBCLC's website, they have the different pathways listed on how you can qualify. The hours of breastfeeding support are usually the hardest to come by unless you have a job that allows you to easily get them. Options could be becoming a breastfeeding counselor, if you were ever on WIC then some clinics train you to become a bfing counselor for WIC. I'm not sure about an AP educator. As an IBCLC who works in a non-hopsital setting, and therefore has more time to spend with my moms, I "dispense" a lot of AP info.
Thanks Peony...yes I think I would like to do it like you do and do it in a non-hospital setting where I could add some helpful AP tips lol. I will check out the website. I have no experience with nursing, is that something I need? Thanks so much!!!

How can you tell that the sleek, synth-happy, French power-popsters are diffident about their success? Now that they've won wealth and fame, they've chosen to call their fifth album Bankrupt!, in part to point out the hollowness of it all.

Advertising (or advertizing) is a form of marketing communication used to persuade an audience to take or continue some action, usually with respect to a commercial offering, or political or ideological support.
The purpose of advertising may also be to reassure employees or shareholders that a company is viable or successful. Advertising messages are usually paid for by sponsors and viewed via various old media; including mass media such as newspaper, magazines, television advertisement, radio advertisement, outdoor advertising or direct mail; or new media such as blogs, websites or text messages.
Commercial advertisers often seek to generate increased consumption of their products or services through "branding", which involves associating a product name or image with certain qualities in the minds of consumers. Non-commercial advertisers who spend money to advertise items other than a consumer product or service include political parties, interest groups, religious organizations and governmental agencies. Nonprofit organizations may rely on free modes of persuasion, such as a public service announcement (PSA).
Modern advertising was created with the innovative techniques introduced with tobacco advertising in the 1920s, most significantly with the campaigns of Edward Bernays, which is often considered the founder of modern, Madison Avenue advertising.
In 2010, spending on advertising was estimated at $143 billion in the United States and $467 billion worldwide
Advertising is at the front of delivering the proper message to customers and prospective customers. The purpose of advertising is to convince customers that a company's services or products are the best, enhance the image of the company, point out and create a need for products or services, demonstrate new uses for established products, announce new products and programs, reinforce the salespeople's individual messages, draw customers to the business, and to hold existing customers.
Sales promotions are another way to advertise. Sales promotions are double purposed because they are used to gather information about what type of customers one draws in and where they are, and to jump start sales. Sales promotions include things like contests and games, sweepstakes, product giveaways, samples coupons, loyalty programs, and discounts. The ultimate goal of sales promotions is to stimulate potential customers to action.
Digital signage is poised to become a major mass media because of its ability to reach larger audiences for less money. Digital signage also offers the unique ability to see the target audience where they are reached by the medium. Technological advances have also made it possible to control the message on digital signage with much precision, enabling the messages to be relevant to the target audience at any given time and location which in turn, gets more response from the advertising. Digital signage is being successfully employed in supermarkets. Another successful use of digital signage is in hospitality locations such as restaurants and malls.
In online display advertising, display ads generate awareness quickly. Unlike search, which requires someone to be aware of a need, display advertising can drive awareness of something new and without previous knowledge. Display works well for direct response. Display is not only used for generating awareness, it's used for direct response campaigns that link to a landing page with a clear 'call to action'.
A new form of advertising that is growing rapidly is social network advertising. It is online advertising with a focus on social networking sites. This is a relatively immature market, but it has shown a lot of promise as advertisers are able to take advantage of the demographic information the user has provided to the social networking site. Friendertising is a more precise advertising term in which people are able to direct advertisements toward others directly using social network services.
As the mobile phone became a new mass medium in 1998 when the first paid downloadable content appeared on mobile phones in Finland, mobile advertising followed, also first launched in Finland in 2000. By 2007 the value of mobile advertising had reached $2 billion and providers such as Admob delivered billions of mobile ads.
Until the Industrial Revolution, the vast majority of the human population labored in agriculture. Pre-industrial agriculture was typically subsistence agriculture/self-sufficiency in which farmers raised most of their crops for their own consumption instead of cash crops for trade. A remarkable shift in agricultural practices has occurred over the past century in response to new technologies, and the development of world markets. This also has led to technological improvements in agricultural techniques, such as the Haber-Bosch method for synthesizing ammonium nitrate which made the traditional practice of recycling nutrients with crop rotation and animal manure less important.
Modern agronomy, plant breeding, agrochemicals such as pesticides and fertilizers, and technological improvements have sharply increased yields from cultivation, but at the same time have caused widespread ecological damage and negative human health effects. Selective breeding and modern practices in animal husbandry have similarly increased the output of meat, but have raised concerns about animal welfare and the health effects of the antibiotics, growth hormones, and other chemicals commonly used in industrial meat production. Genetically modified organisms are an increasing component of agriculture, although they are banned in several countries. Agricultural food production and water management are increasingly becoming global issues that are fostering debate on a number of fronts. Significant degradation of land and water resources, including the depletion of aquifers, has been observed in recent decades, and the effects of global warming on agriculture and of agriculture on global warming are still not fully understood.
The major agricultural products can be broadly grouped into foods, fibers, fuels, and raw materials. Specific foods include cereals (grains), vegetables, fruits, oils, meats and spices. Fibers include cotton, wool, hemp, silk and flax. Raw materials include lumber and bamboo. Other useful materials are produced by plants, such as resins, dyes, drugs, perfumes, biofuels and ornamental products such as cut flowers and nursery plants. Over one third of the world's workers are employed in agriculture, second only to the services' sector, although the percentages of agricultural workers in developed countries has decreased significantly over the past several centuries.
Fishing is the activity of trying to catch fish. Fishing usually takes place in the wild. Techniques for catching fish include hand gathering, spearing, netting, angling and trapping.
The term fishing may be applied to catching other aquatic animals such as molluscs, cephalopods, crustaceans, and echinoderms. The term is not normally applied to catching farmed fish, or to aquatic mammals, such as whales, where the term whaling is more appropriate.
According to FAO statistics, the total number of commercial fishermen and fish farmers is estimated to be 38 million. Fisheries and aquaculture provide direct and indirect employment to over 500 million people in developing countries. In 2005, the worldwide per capita consumption of fish captured from wild fisheries was 14.4 kilograms, with an additional 7.4 kilograms harvested from fish farms. In addition to providing food, modern fishing is also a recreational pastime.
Forestry is the science, art, and craft of creating, managing, using, conserving, and repairing forests and associated resources, in a sustainable manner, to meet desired goals, needs, and values for human benefit. Forestry is practiced in plantations and natural stands.The challenge of forestry is to create systems that are socially accepted while sustaining the resource and any other resources that might be affected. The forest science has elements that belong to the biological, physical, social, political and managerial sciences.
Modern forestry generally embraces a broad range of concerns, in what is known as multiple-use management, including the provision of timber, fuel wood, wildlife habitat, natural water quality management, recreation, landscape and community protection, employment, aesthetically appealing landscapes, biodiversity management, watershed management, erosion control, and preserving forests as 'sinks' for atmospheric carbon dioxide. A practitioner of forestry is known as a forester.
Forest ecosystems have come to be seen as the most important component of the biosphere, and forestry has emerged as a vital applied science, craft, and technology.
Forestry is an important economic segment in various industrial countries. For example, in Germany, forests cover nearly a third of the land area, wood is the most important renewable resource, and forestry supports more than a million jobs and about €170 billion in yearly turnover.
The arts represent an outlet of expression, that is usually influenced by culture and which in turn helps to change culture. As such, the arts are a physical manifestation of the internal creative impulse. Major constituents of the arts include literature – including poetry, novels and short stories, and epics; performing arts – among them music, dance, and theatre; culinary arts such as baking, chocolatiering, and winemaking; media arts like photography and cinematography, and visual arts – including drawing, painting, and sculpting. Some art forms combine a visual element with performance (e.g. film) and the written word (e.g. comics).
From prehistoric cave paintings to modern day films, art serves as a vessel for storytelling and conveying mankind's relationship with its environment.
Typically, a lens is used to focus the light reflected or emitted from objects into a real image on the light-sensitive surface inside a camera during a timed exposure.
Photography is employed in many fields of science, manufacturing (e.g. photolithography) and business, as well as its more direct uses for art, recreational purposes, and mass communication.
The modern age of aviation began with the first lighter-than-air flight on November 21, 1783 of a hot air balloon in 1783. The practicality of balloons was limited because they could only travel downwind. It was immediately recognized that a steerable balloon was required.
Rigid airships became the first aircraft to transport passengers and cargo over great distances. The best known aircraft of this type were manufactured by the German Zeppelin company.
The most successful Zeppelin was the Graf Zeppelin. It flew over one million miles, including an around-the-world flight in August 1929. However, the dominance of the Zeppelins over the airplanes of that period, which had a range of only a few hundred miles, was diminishing as airplane design advanced. The "Golden Age" of the airships ended on May 6, 1937 when the Hindenburg caught fire, killing 36 people. The cause of the Hindenburg accident was initially blamed on the use of hydrogen instead of helium as the lift gas. An internal investigation by the manufacturer revealed the coating used to protect the covering material over the frame was highly flammable and allowed static electricity to build up in the airship. Changes to the coating formulation reduced the risk of further Hindenburg type accidents.Although there have been periodic initiatives to revive their use, airships have seen only niche application since that time.
There are many claims for the earliest powered, heavier-than-air flight. However, the most widely accepted date is December 17, 1903 by the Wright brothers. The Wright brothers were the first to fly in a powered and controlled aircraft. Previous flights were gliders (control but no power) or free flight (power but no control), but the Wright brothers combined both, setting the new standard in aviation records.
Aircraft began to transport people and cargo as designs grew larger and more reliable.
After World War II, especially in North America, there was a boom in general aviation, both private and commercial, as thousands of pilots were released from military service and many inexpensive war-surplus transport and training aircraft became available. Manufacturers such as Cessna, Piper, and Beechcraft expanded production to provide light aircraft for the new middle-class market.
By the 1950s, the development of civil jets grew, and the first widely used passenger jet was the Boeing 707, because it was much more economical than other aircraft at that time. At the same time, turboprop propulsion began to appear for smaller commuter planes, making it possible to serve small-volume routes in a much wider range of weather conditions.
Since the 1960s composite material airframes and quieter, more efficient engines have become available, and Concorde provided supersonic passenger service for more than two decades, but the most important lasting innovations have taken place in instrumentation and control. The arrival of solid-state electronics, the Global Positioning System, satellite communications, and increasingly small and powerful computers and LED displays, have dramatically changed the cockpits of airliners and, increasingly, of smaller aircraft as well. Pilots can navigate much more accurately and view terrain, obstructions, and other nearby aircraft on a map or through synthetic vision, even at night or in low visibility.
On June 21, 2004, SpaceShipOne became the first privately funded aircraft to make a spaceflight, opening the possibility of an aviation market capable of leaving the Earth's atmosphere. Meanwhile, flying prototypes of aircraft powered by alternative fuels, such as ethanol, electricity, and even solar energy, are becoming more common.
Civil aviation includes all non-military flying, both general aviation and scheduled air transport.
There are five major manufacturers of civil transport aircraft:
Boeing, Airbus, Ilyushin and Tupolev concentrate on wide-body and narrow-body jet airliners, while Bombardier, Embraer and Sukhoi concentrate on regional airliners. Large networks of specialized parts suppliers from around the world support these manufacturers, who sometimes provide only the initial design and final assembly in their own plants. The Chinese ACAC consortium will also soon enter the civil transport market with its ACAC ARJ21 regional jet.
Until the 1970s, most major airlines were flag carriers, sponsored by their governments and heavily protected from competition. Since then, open skies agreements have resulted in increased competition and choice for consumers, coupled with falling prices for airlines. The combination of high fuel prices, low fares, high salaries, and crises such as the September 11, 2001 attacks and the SARS epidemic have driven many older airlines to government-bailouts, bankruptcy or mergers. At the same time, low-cost carriers such as Ryanair, Southwest and Westjet have flourished.
Each country regulates aviation differently, but general aviation usually falls under different regulations depending on whether it is private or commercial and on the type of equipment involved.
Many small aircraft manufacturers serve the general aviation market, with a focus on private aviation and flight training.
The most important recent developments for small aircraft have been the introduction of advanced avionics (including GPS) that were formerly found only in large airliners, and the introduction of composite materials to make small aircraft lighter and faster. Ultralight and homebuilt aircraft have also become increasingly popular for recreational use, since in most countries that allow private aviation, they are much less expensive and less heavily regulated than certified aircraft.
Simple balloons were used as surveillance aircraft as early as the 18th century. Over the years, military aircraft have been built to meet ever increasing capability requirements. Manufacturers of military aircraft compete for contracts to supply their government's arsenal. Aircraft are selected based on factors like cost, performance, and the speed of production.
An aviation accident is defined by the Convention on International Civil Aviation Annex 13 as an occurrence associated with the operation of an aircraft which takes place between the time any person boards the aircraft with the intention of flight until such time as all such persons have disembarked, in which a person is fatally or seriously injured, the aircraft sustains damage or structural failure or the aircraft is missing or is completely inaccessible.
An aviation incident is defined as an occurrence, other than an accident, associated with the operation of an aircraft that affects or could affect the safety of operations.
An accident in which the damage to the aircraft is such that it must be written off, or in which the plane is destroyed is called a hull loss accident.
Air traffic control (ATC) involves communication with aircraft to help maintain separation — that is, they ensure that aircraft are sufficiently far enough apart horizontally or vertically for no risk of collision. Controllers may co-ordinate position reports provided by pilots, or in high traffic areas (such as the United States) they may use radar to see aircraft positions.
There are generally four different types of ATC:
ATC is especially important for aircraft flying under instrument flight rules (IFR), where they may be in weather conditions that do not allow the pilots to see other aircraft. However, in very high-traffic areas, especially near major airports, aircraft flying under visual flight rules (VFR) are also required to follow instructions from ATC.
In addition to separation from other aircraft, ATC may provide weather advisories, terrain separation, navigation assistance, and other services to pilots, depending on their workload.
ATC do not control all flights. The majority of VFR flights in North America are not required to talk to ATC (unless they are passing through a busy terminal area or using a major airport), and in many areas, such as northern Canada and low altitude in northern Scotland, Air traffic control services are not available even for IFR flights at lower altitudes.
Like all activities involving combustion, operating powered aircraft (from airliners to hot air balloons) release soot and other pollutants into the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) are also produced. In addition, there are environmental impacts specific to aviation:

Telling my DS

That's such a tough one Gabs :-( I'm sure you'll explain it to him in a way that he'll understand and not be too upset. Hugs.

Love of our life ~ Lexi~ born 18/12/10
♥ 1st Angel 19/03/12
I finally got it overwith. I told him that I needed to tell him something. I sort of said that his sister had gotten really sick with a fever (he thinks fevers are the worst thing ever) and that since she was so tiny she couldn't get better. He immediately said "So she died?" it's like he is so instinctive.. I said yes, and that I was so sorry. He seemed a bit upset but I'm sure at 5 you don't really know how to react. I told him that maybe later on we can try and pray for a sister again, and he said that mommy needs to get better first. He asked if they had taken her out, and I said yes but that she was in heaven now. He likes that idea, just doesn't understand that it won't be the "same" sister if we do try again. He even asked me if he had ever died in my belly....
Later with my sister he said that in 2013 his baby sister was going to come out of my belly but I tried once again to let him know that she had gone to heaven and she was already out of my belly and that mommy was trying to get better because of that. He has been opening doors, carrying bags or my purse, and even helping me get comfy in bed and I just feel so good to know he cares and is a little gentleman to me.
Breaks my heart, but he is such an amazing little boy he took it better than I did at that age when my mother lost a baby at 19 1/2 weeks.
Next time around I won't tell him until after 12 weeks!

Free Trial
You can sign up for a 7-day trial for all of the available courses - this trial will give you access to some of the modules and learning assessments so you can better understand the learning environment and educational benefits of the courses. To sign up for a free trial click on one of the technique buttons above and select your course of interest.

Validated Learning
Courses now feature validated learning through 'Question and Answer' sections within each module to ensure optimized training. On course completion a 'Certificate of Completion' is provided.
How Does It Work
Each course on Analytical Training Solutions has been divided into a number of modules, with each module focusing on one particular aspect of the overall course. The modules have been created in a logical manner, and by starting with the first module and working through them in the order provided creates the best learning environment for the user. In addition, as each course is divided into modules it is then very simple to find a particular section again in the future; for example, if you want a recap on a particular subject. Each course also comes with a series of handout (in PDF format), which include all of the slides from that course.
Generally, purchasing a licence for a course will provide unlimited access to it for a period of 6 months.
Each module, in most of the courses, has a selection of questions associated with it (these are referred to as an assessment). Once a course have been viewed this assessment can be taken to validate the learning experience. Once you have successfully completed all of the assessments associated with a course you will qualify for a 'Course Completion Certificate' - you can request a digital (PDF) or print copy of this certificate.
Once you have your certificate you can still access the course modules until the end of your licence period.
There is also a 'try before you buy' option with each course (see the main home pages for each individual course). By registering for the trial version of a course you will be provided with full access to a few of the available modules for that course for a period of 7 days. If you think the course is for you, simply go ahead and purchase it.

Back Creek Presbyterian Church Cemetery:

Cemetery notes and/or description:
Back Creek was organized September 1805 after splitting off from Thyatira Presbyterian Church. It was said that for quite a while this group worshipped in a barn about a mile from the present site of Back Creek Church. They petitioned the Presbytery to be organized into a church and it was granted September 1805. The first church building built in 1805 was a little log church. Mr. John Barr deeded the church the land. The second church building was built in 1811. It was replaced in 1857 with the present day brick church building. The name of the church is derived from a nearby stream. The early Rowan County records indicate that this creek was referred to as being back of Sill's Creek, hence the name "Back Creek." Forefathers held that the church and the schoolhouse should go together and so nearby a Session House was built in 1882 to serve also as a schoolhouse or academy. The old school bell stands at the Education Building Annex door. In April of 1951, the church began work on a religious educational building and it was completed March 30, 1952.

What materials did you use? Cotton fat quarters and remnants, sewing thread, Peggy Martin "Quick Strip Paper Piecing" course materials
What are you most proud of? I've only made one serious mistake so far - I sewed the fourth strip when I should have sewn the third, and had to unpick eight pieces - BUT I realised before I'd cut anything, so the fabric wasn't wasted!
Your table runner came out great! I particularly love that you used all three color placement possibilities - it's such fun to see all the different arrangements together in one project. Beautiful!

Will Ferrell's New Swedish Old Milwaukee Ads
Four spots, shot in Sweden, airing on Swedish TV. He speaks Swedish in one of them.
Here's the first spot. Fart joke. Disappointing.
The weakest of the bunch.
OK, this is better. Love the jacket.
Even better. Here's the translation, according to Slate:
"This is my boat. This is my woman. And this is my beer. Old Milwaukee. It OK."
Although Ferrell's wife (Viveca Paulin) is, in fact, Swedish, that woman is not his wife.
Nice closing foam overload shot.
Yes the spots were shot in Sweden, and yes, they are airing on Swedish TV and only Swedish TV. Amazing.
Compared to all the shitty Big Beer ads (Bud, Coors, etc), this campaign is as refreshing as…a much better beer than Old Milwaukee.
Previously: Here's his funny Super Bowl ad, which only aired in Nebraska.
Bonus: here's a 1970s Norwegian ad for Brigg beer which features a man who looks quite a bit like Ferrell. Translation: "Our brew!"
- Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton sparred over ISIS, race, and Trump's unreleased taxes during the first US presidential debate 📢
- The Colombia government and FARC rebels have signed a historic peace deal, ending 52 years of armed conflict.
- And no, people aren't drilling headphone jacks into their new iPhone 7's 📱❌


text: April 15th was the official last day of science aboard the Nathaniel B. Palmer, with the successful retrieval of a jumbo piston core from the Perseverance Drift as our final operation. Once the piston core was secure on board, we continued north through the Antarctic Sound and into the Bransfield Strait. To the surprise of many on board, the Bransfield was covered with thick ice, slowing progress dramatically. This time after science operations and before the rough open waters of the Drake Passage was utilized for lab cleanup and sample organization. The last days in the ice were filled with securing objects both inside the ship and out on deck in preparation for the potentially bumpy ride through the Drake Passage. We continued to collect underway data until we reached the 200-mile limit off the coast of South America. As we near the Straits of Lemaire, and Tierra del Fuego is in sight just to the north, the Drake is rougher than our trip down, but by no means intolerable. Seasickness has not been as prominent as expected, but the rocking makes moving around the ship a bit of an exertion. As we near port in Punta Arenas, samples are continually being organized and prepared for offloading. Once in Punta Arenas, many of the students will stay for an extra day to help with the final cleanup and sample export.
