In his keynote presentation at InboundCon, Khalid Mokhtarzada (co-founder and CEO of Pixel Dreams) spoke about the intersection of brand development and inbound marketing.
Alex Rascanu: We're about to move forward with the second keynote presentation of the morning. Here we have Khalid Mokhtarzada from Pixel Dreams. Close enough? Before you start the presentation if you don't mind just speaking a little bit about your background and then get into it. Thank you so much.
Khalid Mokhtarzada: Thank you. Hello.
Audience: Hi Khalid.
Khalid: Who said that? Hi. I got fans. That's great.
Alex: Join me in giving him a warm welcome.
Khalid: I hope I don't suck. I've already begun to suck. A really young audience. That's good. Especially you. How many people here work or are involved in a B2B? How many people here are in B2C? Some people seem to be unemployed. Cool. This is good because what I'm going to talk to you guys about will help you from the B2B angle, from a B2C angle and as well help you find a job. I'm pretty sure. I'm going to help my friend here who brutalized my last name, which is okay because when I drink I have a hard time pronouncing it too. Cool. Let's get started.
I am Khalid Mokhtarzada. You can pronounce Khalid a bunch of different ways. Most of my friends call me Khal. I like that. It's short. It's sweet. It also happens to be Superman's first name so I don't know. I guess that's good. CEO and Founder of Pixel Dreams. Our mission is to help the good guys. To explore new frontiers and to better the world through design. That's our mission. We're a creative agency. We're a design agency. We specialize in design, branding and as well in culture. Culture branding.
Not going to go into too much detail about myself just because there's a lot to cover but I'm going to tell you a little story about my presentation before I begin the presentation. If that's okay. Thank God for my wife, my partner in my business. I had about 120 slides last night and I was like pulling the little hair that I have thinking, I don't know what I'm going to do. She just sat me down, she's like, "Khalid, you could just have no slides and talk for an hour. You seem to be pretty good at that so why are you over complicating things?" She is my creative director at the company so she's helped me skin things down a bit. I'm going to do my best to stay on point. I do like to go on tangents sometimes. Yes. Let's get started.
We're going to make a few assumptions before I get started just to kind of frame the top. The first assumption I'm going to make is, and I heard Dev, talk about this, you guys provide some type of good product or service because if you don't provide a good product or service and what I mean by good product or service is you provide some type of value to the world. That's the first assumption. If you don't got that right then all the marketing and inbound marketing in the world isn't really going to save you.
The second assumption is you prefer to be top of mind. What does top of mind mean? For the unemployed people when you're applying for a job you want to be chosen. You're the guy that the interviewer wants to think about. Your reputation is important to you. That's, I'm hoping, a simple assumption and lastly you'd prefer not to have to persuade or sell your products, services or personality.
I think that's why we're here, I mean inbound marketing, the whole point of inbound marketing is so that you're not badgering people over the head and trying to sell them on things that they probably don't want. I had a really bad joke come into my head and luckily I censored myself. Remind me and I'll tell you in private.
Sounds good. There's a young guy over here who wants to hear the dirty jokes. This is how we're going to start our presentation. Luckily I found this image online really easily. I had the idea, the image in my head for a long time but when I talked to my clients and I talked to prospects, I talked to them about having square wheels and apparently a lot of people have had this idea so it's not very original but let's discuss this.
What does this mean? Well that's your organization. That's your brand. That's who you are and you have a goal. You want to get from here to there, right? That's your effort. That's your marketing effort. That's your advertising, that's your inbound marketing, that's any type of effort you're making to get your organization or yourself from one place to another and achieve your goal.
What I'm going to be specifically talking about is your wheels, which is your brand. That's what I'm going to be focusing on today. Sounds good? We're going to talk about how to get those square wheels into some nice shiny rims. Everybody here likes rims? You like rims. I can tell.
I always, I'm very process oriented so before we continue I want to make sure that you guys know what the road map is and kind of hold me accountable to it and somebody's got to tell me, like half way through my talk, just put their hand up so that I know where I am. Otherwise I might just go too fast or just not go anywhere.
We're going to talk about, I'm going to give you guys a little bit of a primer and then after that we're going to talk about what brand vision is, brand identity, brand assets and communication channel. That fits into a big road map that we're going to be talking about now.
This is my statement to you guys. Unlike any other area of marketing, brand development yields the highest level of appreciation over time. I think appreciation is a very important thing here. It signifies an asset, right? That's what inbound marketing is also about. It's about building assets, creating assets, right? Circles, not balls.
We have a diagram here on my left. The center of that diagram is your brand vision. Whether you're a one person team or an organization of 10,000 people your brand vision is going to dictate a lot of things. It's going to dictate your brand identity, who you are, how the world perceives you, what you do, how you do it. It's also going to dictate what your brand assets are. We'll get into each of these individually in more depth in a second. Then finally your communication channels.
It's interesting how we came up with this. Over the last several years of doing a lot of branding with a ton of clients as well as doing our own research at Pixel Dreams we found a lot of similarities in the type of questions that people were asking us. Those questions were, "Where do I invest my money? What's my next marketing move? What's my strategy moving forward?" We found similar patterns in many instances and that's how we pretty much came up with it based on creating a map to help our clients figure out where they are or what areas they're weak in and what areas they're strong in.
Some people have great brand visions and we've worked with clients who have great brand visions but really horrible communication channels, for example. Or great communication channels but horrible brand identities. That's one thing.
Second thing about this model is that the closer you go into the core the less things change. Think about it kind of like a solar system, right? In the center is earth and everything else revolves around it, right? I don't know why you agree. The closer you are at the core, the more things stay the same. The further out you get the more things change, right? That's pretty much one of the major tenets of this map. We'll show you how that works.
Where does inbound marketing fits? Inbound marketing fits within these two areas, brand assets and communication channels. That make sense? Right? Inbound marketing, blog posts, newsletters, great websites of great conversions. That would be a communication channel in your brand assets. Let's dive into the brand vision.
Brand vision to me is the most important piece of the puzzle. It's why you exist. Without a brand vision a lot of organizations go all over the place. They have a hard time, and I'll talk from personal experience when we first started Pixel Dreams. We worked heavily on the identity side, specifically the visual identity side but our brand vision wasn't crystal clear. Having a crystal clear brand vision does a few things. One thing is that you're willing to forego profit if it goes against your brand vision, if it goes against your core ideology. We'll talk about that in a second too. That's the most important thing about, the most important aspect about brand vision is that it dictates the why you exist and it's made up of several parts.
Everybody's familiar with Jim Collins? Jim Collins wrote a great book, "Built to Last," many years ago. He also wrote a paper with a gentleman by the name of Jai Bharath. He said, "A well conceived vision consists of two major parts. The first part is the core ideology," that's basically who you are and then the envisioned future. He says that the core ideology is the yin that defines who you are and why you exist and the envisioned future is more like the yang, something that you aspire to be. Brand vision is equal to your core ideology and your envisioned future.
How's everyone doing? We're going to go into a lot more circles and balls. No Freudian things in there. We're going to break down core ideology for you. What does that mean? What we've done is the yin yang model doesn't really make sense. The reason why it doesn't make sense is because if one is changing the other not staying, or one not changing and one changing creates some difficulties in that and, again my Asian wife had to explain this to me that there's always supposed to be some type of balance. I was like, okay.
That's how we came up with this where the core ideology is closer in the center, it's the core and your envisioned future is something that changes from time to time. It doesn't change often but it has the propensity to change. It's like a far reaching goal that you're never really supposed to be able to achieve. It's something, we worked with a company by the name of BNotions, great people. Anybody who knows who they are will know that they have an envisioned future and that envisioned future is that they want to work in space. They want to be the first agency to get to space and to actually live in space and work out of space.
That dictates a lot of how they operate as a business. They also have some very interesting core ideologies. We have some interesting core ideologies also. It's not supposed to be your differentiating factor. That's something that you should keep in mind. Two companies or three companies can have the same core ideology but still have different brand identities. One could be in one industry and another company could be in a completely different industry.
Let's go a little bit deeper into the core. You do not create or set your core ideology. You discover your core ideology. You do not deduce it by looking at external environments you understand it by looking inside.
When we work with clients and we work with them from the brand identity and going deeper from a brand vision perspective our job is not to help them figure out what their vision should be but actually help them discover what they already are as a company or what they already are as people. The core ideology is made up of two parts. Your core value, those are the values that you abide by, you believe in and your core purpose. It's the why. Why do you exist as an organization?
Sometimes you ask clients, "What's the purpose of your company?" Profit. Profit is a result. It's not the purpose of your company. It's not the purpose of your organization or as a person. It should be a result and when you have your core ideology and your brand vision set and it's strong and you work from the inside out then profit becomes a happenstance. It just becomes a result of the things that you do. The core ideology is really the why.
Anybody familiar with Simon Sinek's TED Talk? Who's not familiar? Simon Sinek, S-I-N-E-K. Great TED Talk, he talks about the why. He talks about companies that start with a why and how they differentiate from companies in the same industry, the same size that don't start with a why. If you don't mind I'm going to mute this for a second. I'm going to put a short clip of this for you.
…designed, simple to use and user friendly. Want to buy one? No. That's how most of us communicate. That's how most marketing is done, that's how most sales are done and that's how most of us communicate interpersonally. We say what we do. We say how we're different or how we're better and we expect some sort of behavior or purchase or vote. Something like that. Here's our new law firm. We have the best lawyers with the biggest clients. We have, we always perform for our clients who do business with us. Here's our new car. It gets great gas mileage, it has leather seats. Buy our car but it's uninspiring.
Here's how Apple actually communicates. Everything we do we believe in challenging the status quo. We believe in thinking differently. The way we challenge the status quo is by making our products beautifully designed, simple to use and user friendly. We just happen to make great computers. Want to buy one?
Totally different, right? You're ready to buy a computer from me. All I did was reverse the order of the information. What it proves to us is that people don't buy what you do, people buy why you do it. People don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it. This explains why every single person in this room is perfectly comfortable buying a computer from Apple but we're also perfectly comfortable buying an mp3 player from Apple, or a phone from Apple, or a DVR from Apple.
But as I said before Apple's just a computer company. There's nothing that distinguishes them structurally from any of their competitors. Their competitors are all equally qualified to make all of these products. In fact they've tried. A few years ago Gateway came out with flat screen TVs. They're eminently qualified to make flat screen TVs. They've been making flat screen monitors for years. Nobody bought one.
Dell came out with mp3 players and PDAs and they make great quality products and they can make perfectly well designed products and nobody bought one. In fact, talking about it now we can't even imagine buying an mp3 player from Dell. Why would you buy an mp3 player from a computer company? But we do it everyday. People don't buy what you do they buy why you do it.
Two major quotes, two very important quotes that you can get out of the Ted Talk when you watch it is "People don't buy what you do they buy why you do it." What you do simply serves as the proof of what you believe. The second one is, "The goal is not to do business with people who need what you have, the goal is to do business with people who believe what you believe."
This has proven to be very important in the history of our company. We're very interesting people. To say the least we have a very interesting belief of the future and that future is very utopian, it's very Star Trek and we're quite quirky that way. In fact, every Friday we watch an episode of Star Trek. Anybody who, any of our contractors, our interns or anyone working with us is required to watch Star Trek. We have a blog post dedicated to our culture and in that blog post we post up art work for the episodes that we've watched.
You'd be surprised when you ask somebody about an episode they'll be able to tell you the episode name, what happened. It's almost kind of scary but that's who we are. We've worked with our share of a**holes and I'm sure a lot of you B2B people have. There's just no reason for it. There's a huge world out there with a lot of opportunities and you might as well work with people whose vision and whose ideologies and whose viewpoint on life is similar to yours, right? As far as at the least they should be nice people. I'm not going to go on a rant.
The envisioned future. The envisioned future is a little bit simpler. It's what you expect of the universe to turn out like and what your big hairy audacious goal is. Big hairy audacious goal comes from Jim Collins. He says, "In addition to vision level big hairy audacious goals and envision future needs what we call a pivot description that is vibrant, engaging in specific description of what it will be like to achieve the big hairy audacious goal."
At Pixel Dreams we have a big hairy audacious goal. We have a few. One is to change education, specifically public education in the future. We're a small team. We're nowhere near that but it is our goal and we work towards it all the time. We study education. We go to different seminars. We do our best to be involved in any type of educational program.
Another envisioned future is to redesign, rebrand the penal system. It's definitely something that needs to be worked on. What's your big hairy audacious goal? Right? I should say, somebody once told me if you're going to dream you might as well dream big because it costs less or at least if anything costs the same, to dream big as it does to dream small. The odds are the bigger your dreams are, the bigger that your goals even if you don't make it, you'll get a lot further along than having small goals.
I find a lot of companies tend not to have, or not just companies but organizations. How many people here are from Toronto? Most of you. How many people are from outside of Toronto? The rest of you are living in another dimension. Does anybody know what Toronto's vision is?
Audience member: Diversity.
Khalid: You think diversity? To create more diversity, maybe? What is our ultimate goal as a city? That's the problem, right? As citizens, ask any of your friends, ask any of your colleagues what's our city's long term goal? What's our long term vision of what this city should be like? You're going to get blank stares like the one I have of you guys. Unless my zipper's down but I have buttons. It's important for all organizations to have some type of vision, to have some type of idea of what the future's going to be like and to rally your troops and rally people, rally your consumers, right? Wouldn't it be great if your consumers, the people that buy from you were as hard core and dedicated and crazy as Apple consumers? Right?
Let's go into brand identity. Everybody here has brand identity. Whether you have designed that identity or not you have a brand. What does that mean? Your brand is an accumulation of everything about you. It's the way you look, the way you move. It's the way you dress. It's the conversations that you have. It's your organization's beliefs. It's what people say about you. At worse, it's what people think of you whether it's true or not. That's your brand identity. Whether you are an organization or you are a single person on the prowl on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturday nights on King Street while I'm trying to sleep with a two-year-old baby, you still have an identity, right?
The question is have you designed your identity? That's what I want to talk to you guys about mostly is creating and designing your brand identity. It requires, let's read what the slide says. It's your characters, beliefs, voice, positioning and the way you represent yourself. These are all part of your brand identity.
I'm going to specifically talk about the way you present yourself strictly because people like pretty things, right? People like pretty things. People don't like ugly things, right? Some of your organizations are ugly even though you have really great people and a great brand vision sometimes you just don't look the part. I'm trying to not look at a friend of mine in the audience that I helped brand his company. Great people. Amazing people but their identity, their outward visual identity just didn't match up to the amazing quality and product and service that they were offering, including the personality of the people.
Anyone familiar with the case study? Great. We'll skip it. No, I'm joking. In 2009, in January 2009 some really good salesmen posing as a creative director sold the idea that they should change that packaging to that packaging. Within seven weeks they realized they made a big mistake. They switched it back. Those weeks costed them $33 million and 20 percent of their market share. I think the creative director was fired. It's important what your visual identity is and it has to make sense.
Anyone familiar with this case study? If you said yes I'd be very impressed. On the right, top right hand corner we have, okay great.
Audience member: Prussia.
Khalid: That's right. King of Prussia, Frederick. He had a scenario on his hands. People didn't eat potatoes at the time. Not often unless you were like crazy and the [?] was very volatile. The King of Prussia realized that he needs to stabilize his economy. He needs to stabilize the food production for his army, for his people and he realized potatoes would be a great way to stabilize that. Nobody would eat potatoes. Nobody would grow them. People were actually persecuted and exiled and tortured and killed, [?] farmers because they refused to grow potatoes.
I don't know what your values are in life but if your values are as strong as these farmers that's good on you. So the [??] very interesting. He repositioned and redesigned identity of the potato. He [?] cool down and then he declared the potato a royal vegetable, fit for royalty. In fact […] outlawed for anyone else unless you're royal.
He had a potato garden and in this potato garden he had guards to guard these potatoes. These guards were told to make sure that nobody enters the garden and steals any of these potatoes but they are told to not do a very good job at protecting it. The King of Prussia knew that eventually people would steal the stuff and it wasn't long before there was an underground market, a black market of people selling potatoes.
The demand for potatoes had gotten so high that now we eat potatoes, I guess. I don't know. I don't know where he's going with that but it's a good story. Had a bad day. Having a bad day. There's this time a few months ago, I don't know what happened. Just having one of those days. There's nothing that you can do to make yourself feel better. [?] chemical. It's not the reality of life. You're just having a shi**y day. That's life.
Somebody knows my wife. One time at home she decided to be kind enough to stop at the store and buy me ice cream. That was really kind of her. She bought me ice cream and . . .
Really? As we're paying for the ice cream, as she's paying for the ice cream, she's taking me out, I'm holding this, I'm still in this pi**y mood, I don't know what it was. Hers dropped right on the ground. I walked the whole way home with a smile on my face, a good like three or four feet ahead of her. Trying to make sure I finished mine. What does that really mean? I don't know. It is a good story too. I guess that's my brand. We'll talk about brand assets and we're almost done. What are your brand assets? Assets are things that you invest in once and they appreciate and they provide value over and over again, right? Do I need to use the mic?
Audience member: Yes.
Khalid: Testing. Yo, my name is K. You thought for a second. No, I haven't had anything to drink this morning. Brand assets, where was I? Brand assets. Assets are things that you invest in once and they provide value over and over again, right? What are some examples of brand assets? This is where we are in our diagram.
Everybody liking the balls, I mean the circles? Who likes circles? We covered that. The brand assets include your brand book, your solid guide, uniforms, process templates. I love process templates. Email signatures, stationery, business cards, letterheads, USB keys and your content, right?
On the right is my digital signature. When I send it to you that's what it looks like at the bottom of my email to you on your iPhone. We've invested it in it once and we use it all the time. You'd be surprised. We've had clients that love our, or people that we've spoken to that have become clients because they've liked our signature and they're [?] I was like, we can do that.
Business cards, that's where letterhead on the bottom left-hand corner. Proposal text, templates, things like that, right? You want to invest in your brand assets because they're going to, they're the auxiliary marketing for you. From an inbound marketing perspective your brand assets are your blog posts, your videos, your social media content, your eBooks, white papers, podcasts, right? These are some examples of your brand assets, right? Everybody on the same page? Cool.
We're going to jump into communication channels. Communication channels are anything that you or your organization communicates with the outside world, right? There we go. Web properties, advertising, storefront, sales people, displays, call centers. All of these are part of your communication channels. Web properties are your website, your blog, your social media. From an inbound marketing perspective that's your landing pages, your blogs, your newsletters, your social media properties. Of course your website.
Now if you think about the circle again, hopefully I have that. If you think about the circle again, starting at the brand vision and how the brand vision helps create and design your brand identity, once you have your brand identity which is your name, your font, your logo, your colors, your smell, your sound. You're probably thinking, "Smell," that's how you sniff. You're like, "Is my brand identity good?"
There are actually companies that create custom scents for your brand, right? Some restaurants actually pump this into the air so I don't know how, like if you've ever been on a block where there's a KFC, like you know there's a KFC. That's their brand identity. It's part of their brand identity. An hour after you've eaten KFC you know you've had KFC. That's their brand identity, right? Taco Bell same thing. Smells so good. Inbound, not outbound. Marketing we're talking about.
Conclusion, unlike any other area of marketing brand development yields the highest level of appreciation over time. Discovering your brand vision and designing your identity should be the first consideration as all forms of strategy and communications will be modeled after it. Does that make sense? If we have time, how much time do we have? I would love to do two case studies. Two quick case studies.
Audience member: You can take another five minutes then it's time for a break.
Khalid: Wildcard, one of my favorite case studies just because when they came to us several years ago their challenge was, they're in the event planning world. Their website was Wildcard Online which really sounds like a shady poker, nude poker site. Great service, great product, great pricing and yet they were competing against some of the competitors, right? Part of that was their identity. Their identity sucked. This is what their identity was. Wildcard, woo. And this is what we created. It was based on the suits in the back.
This was a really cool project because our work really spread all over the place. We got to see huge parties with a couple thousand people with the work that we did all over the place. It was nice. The other case study is Navia. Navia is in the ITSM world. If you don't know what that means it's Information Technology Service Management. It is a bit of a mouthful and the industry is dull as, it's dull.
Client originally was formally known as IT Optimizer. Wonderful people, some of the nicest people I've ever met in my life. Again, similar scenario. In a market where they're competing against other companies with similar value propositions clearly these guys were providing value that was much better but their identity didn't speak to that.
What we did was we, they originally came to us for website design which is in the outside of that circle. It's your communication channel. I looked at it and said, "Listen, if we're to invest X amount of dollars in the communication channel but your identity still sucks, you're just going to have a really pretty ugly website." We actually, we proposed to them, "Why don't we work on your brand identity," because they had the brand vision. "Why don't we work on your brand identity," and the idea, the topic of name change came up and they were open to it. That's where we went.
We changed their name, so for any, I should say sometimes clients have a hard time changing their logo. Clients would definitely have a hard time changing their name but I'll tell you this, for each of you if you're in a position of decision making for your organization or for yourself you need to ask yourself you need to ask yourself this. How far out in the future do you expect your company and organization to go? Where are you there? How far along are you? Is it a ten year mission? Is it a 100 year mission or is it a 300 year mission? Are you creating something that you want to sell in a few years or are you creating something that's going to leave you a legacy?
That's a critical question because if the answer is that you're in it for the long haul then things like changing your name and changing your logo should not be a problem. One of the things about the core ideology versus the other pieces of the puzzle is that your core ideology never changes, right? Markets change. Industries change. Environments change. You can change your market but you don't change your ideology. You should not feel discouraged or afraid of losing any brand equity. If you're willing to do it right and if you're willing to do it for the long haul.
Let's jump into this. Lastly we come back to this picture of your organization with square wheels. My proposition to you guys is your marketing efforts will be so much easier if you take care of your branding to get yourself some rims. Thank you.
Alex: We'll take questions, two questions.
Khalid: Are there any questions? Yes, sir.
Audience member: In discovering a brand, is it all about what you believe the core value is in regard to your brand?
Khalid: That's a great question. Let me repeat the question and tell me if I got it right. You're asking does your brand values dictate your branding or does other people's perceptions dictate or influence your branding? It's both. It doesn't matter what your brand values are if you come across as an a**hole that's what your branding is. That's part of your branding and you're going to have to take measures to change that and you've got to ask yourself, companies are always in this scenario where their brand values are great but the perception that the outside world has of them is not. That's when brand expectations are different from brand promise.
Alex: One more question.
Audience member: [Unclear.]
Khalid: Great. You're not going to please everyone. I used to have a slide with a picture of Bill Cosby on it and it has nothing to do with Bill Cosby but he has a quote and he said, "I don't know the formula for success but I do know the formula for failure and that's trying to please everyone." Your brand value will help guide you towards who your target market is. There's a funny article in Wired about Apple users and it said that they're somewhat narcissist. I don't know what the hell they're talking about. You had a question.
Audience member: I did. What did you mean by big a** hairy goal?
Khalid: Big hairy audacious goal, but big a** hairy goal is, I'd minus the hairy but yes, that's good. It's always good.
Audience member: I wondering how related that has to be to your brand.
Khalid: That's interesting. This is something that we struggled with too. Let me repeat the question for those who didn't hear. Your big hairy audacious goal, how does that impact your, how does that have an affect on your products and service?
Audience member: Well how should it relate?
Khalid: How should it relate? How does it relate and shhh. I go back to the Coca Cola example here because Coca Cola has a few interesting brand visions. One is to quench your thirst but the other is to create moments of optimism. Create moments of optimism. If you take a look at their advertising, they get a lot of flack for positioning Coca Cola with being happy but you know what? It puts smiles on people's face. There's a great experiential marketing advertising that they did out in the East. They created this big booth, two booths. One in, booths. What were you thinking? Big what? Two big booths.
One booth was in Pakistan and the other booth was in India. If you know anything about that region there's been a lot of conflict between the two countries for a very long time. There was this huge LCD screen, right? You can walk up through it and interact with it. To the people's delight when they started interacting with this screen they didn't realize but it was a two way screen. There's a camera embedded and they immediately saw someone on the other side. All of a sudden somebody from Pakistan was actually interacting with somebody in India and there was games. One of the more, I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it, was you had to follow this thing and at the end you had to place your hand and then join the two hands together. How cool is that?
Sure. Your products and service doesn't have to always relate to your core vision. Our products and service, they don't relate to our idea of making the world a better place all the time but it is a part of our vision and we do invest a lot of time in taking part in community events, helping people out and it also dictates the type of clients we work with.
I'll tell you, in the past when our brand vision was still a little blurry as a startup we worked with a lot of people that we did not want to work with. You only find that out after that you're like, "You know what? It was not worth the money."
This past year we said no to a few, pretty big clients. Their vision didn't align with us. They, in our opinion, they did… it wasn't going to be a good fit. They weren't good people. Thank you so much, everyone.

All of our teachers have had background checks performed and participate in ongoing childcare training. As a licensed child care provider, we are regularly and rigorously inspected by the Pinellas County Licensing Board and the Pinellas County Health Department.
Ms. Susie
Ms. Susie has known from the time she was young that she wanted to work with young children, she started babysitting when she was 11. She has been a preschool teacher since 1987 and a Director since 2001, and the Owner/Director of her namesake, Ms. Susie's Learning Center, since September 2002. Teaching has always been her first love and she likes to be a "hand's on" Director. Every week she is in every classroom of her preschool. She personally knows all the children, and strives to nurture an open and positive relationship with their parents as well. Being a parent herself, she knows firsthand about the challenges of being a parent today.
Ms. Susie strives for a smoothly functioning preschool. The school is always stocked up on needed supplies and learning tools. Cleanliness is a top priority, and she employs excellent staff with minimal turn over. In addition, the school has great inspection records.
Ms. Kathy
Ms. Kathy, our long time two year old teacher, retired in April 2014, but she will be back from time to time as a guest teacher. In the meantime, she'll be travelling, going on cruises with her hubby, and generally enjoying her retirement with her family.
Ms. Kathy started babysitting at age 11, and has been with us since Ms. Susie's opened in 2002. She has been a preschool teacher since 1992, earned her CDA in 1996 and earned her Director's credentials in 2003. Her two sons are grown and have successful careers of their own. She also has four grandchildren. She walks or cycles daily.
Ms. Kathy has a calm, gentle approach that emphasizes consistency and redirection.
Ms. Cindy
Ms. Cindy was a busy, devoted, Stay At Home Mother for many years, volunteering with her children's schools, activities and in the community. She has lived all over the country, travelling to support her husband's career. A native Floridian, Ms. Cindy is very glad to be back. You can find her visiting with her friends from high school, or at the beach with her dogs. Even though she possesses a medical coding and billing diploma, she chooses to work with pre-schoolers. Ms. Cindy came on board at Ms. Susie's in February 2014 and loves working with children. Her position here suits her youthful, high-energy, hands-on style
Ms. Monique
Ms. Monique started babysitting at 15, and pursued her interest in childcare by taking classes to earn her CDA while in high school. She received her CDA in 2011 upon her high school graduation. Ms. Monique also babysits after school hours and has many long-term clients. She was born and raised in North Pinellas and loves to read.
Ms. Raeanna
Ms. Raeanna has been a preschool teacher since 2005 and is in the process of earning her national CDA. She has always worked with preschool-age children. Seeing her students grow and reach their milestones is very rewarding for her. Ms. Raeanna loves to nurture a sense of community in her students while focusing on literacy. She also enjoys horseback riding, bowling and watching the Threshers' and Blue Jays' games.

The lights are on
Veteran Member - Level 13
We all have had it happen to us.
I am not an MMA fan. In fact, the thought of watching two men (or women) beat on each other until one is potentially unconscious holds no appeal to me whatsoever.
I've been spending a lot of the last year doing mobile gaming rather than sitting down at my console.
Life on the road with Rognar, the Inefficient, was usually a lot of fun. We spent our days walking the roads or forest paths all over the countryside, occasionally killing monsters that might happen upon us. Some of them might not have been attacking us, but you can never be too sure when something comes out of the dark at you.
Those of you who know me and who have read any of my blogs before know that I am not one to replay games, at least not very often.
Ok, "suckered" might be too loaded of a word, because in reality, I actually quite enjoyed the experience.
Some people share way too much on various social media sites. I mean, c'mon, you don't need to tell us about your latest STD!!!
My name is Stephen Jenkins. I'm currently a cop in the city of Chicago, though I have extensive experience in Liberty City as well before I moved here.
Ok, that may be overstating it a bit.
This will be a relatively short, relatively joke-free post because I want to call to everyone's attention something that is kind of rare in this day and age. Or if it's not I've completely missed it.
I held out for a long time, but I finally succumbed.
Now that I have your attention...

OrganizationSalt Lake Helitack is a nine-person crew. The Crew consists of a Helitack Supervisor, Assistant Supervisor, two Squad Leaders, and five Helitack Firefighters. Several additional Helitack Firefighter positions may be added when severity conditions exist.
TrainingHelitack personnel receive training in fire, aviation, and physical fitness. Rookies and veterans report at the beginning of May and receive two weeks of intensive training. The first week is dedicated to general topics such as: orientation, fireline safety refresher, first aid, CPR, defensive driving, fire cause and determination, and basic aviation safety. The second week is reserved for Helitack specific fire and aviation training and other courses to meet the individual needs of Helitack personnel.
Physical conditioning is a vital part of both wildland firefighting and the Salt Lake Helitack program. Each day begins with physical training. The training is designed to prepare crew members physically and mentally for the demands of wildland firefighting. The morning session targets cardiovascular fitness. This is accomplished by alternating between running and hiking in the West Desert or Wasatch Mountains. Either session is followed by extensive stretching. The afternoon session targets muscular fitness and consists of push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups, and various other exercises to increase muscular strength and endurance. Using a combination of cardiovascular and muscular exercises results in physically fit firefighters who are agile, productive, and less likely to suffer fatigue related sickness, injury, or accidents. Crew members must report to work in excellent physical condition. All firefighters should maintain a high level of physical fitness throughout the off-season and gradually increase workout intensity 6-8 weeks prior to the start of the season.
Operations Salt Lake Helitack strives to maintain the highest level of safety, professionalism, and productivity. Performing to this standard can be both challenging and rewarding. A positive mental attitude is essential to success in the wildland firefighting environment. Teamwork is the foundation of this success.
Before appointment to a position on the Crew, everyone must pass the Interagency Pack Test. Personnel are strongly encouraged to meet the following minimums: 1.5 mile run in under 11 minutes 40 seconds, 40 sit-ups in one minute, 25 push-ups in one minute, and 7 pull-ups. The above are minimums; actual numbers are expected to be much higher.
After the necessary training has been completed, the Crew will switch to a staggered work schedule to provide seven day coverage for the helicopter. A typical work day starts at 0900 and ends at 1800. After morning physical training, the Crew is expected to be fire ready until the end of shift. In the past, personnel have had the opportunity to work many of their days off due to fire activity or off-district assignment.
Application InformationThe Salt Lake BLM provides our firefighters with the best equipment, support, and training possible. Conversely, we actively pursue only the best candidates. Firefighters must be able to deliver the highest quality service through integrity, respect, and pride.
Competition for seasonal firefighting positions is intense. We seek highly motivated, dependable people who are in excellent physical condition. If the values of Salt Lake Helitack and the nature of the work appeals to you, contact us.

(Washington D.C.) — U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, along with other officials from the United States Department of Justice, convened key representatives from the adult and juvenile indigent defense community, including defenders, key policymakers, and practitioners from across the country to participate in a two day national symposium on indigent defense. The theme of the symposium is "Looking Back, Looking Forward."
State Senator Rodney Ellis is speaking on a panel regarding modes of collaboration, showcasing what Texas has accomplished in indigent defense reform. He will also discuss the importance of collaboration between the judiciary, bar leaders, nonprofits, legislators, grassroots leaders, and funders, which was integral in passing Texas' reforms to protect and advance the Sixth Amendment right to counsel.
"It is an honor to be a part of this impressive gathering of key policymakers and experts on indigent defense. I am proud to share the important steps Texas has taken to improve our system and will work to bring back innovative ideas for further advancement," said Senator Ellis.
In 2001, Senator Ellis authored landmark, bipartisan legislation to overhaul Texas' indigent criminal defense system. The Texas Fair Defense Act ensures prompt appointment of an attorney for indigent criminal defendants, provides guidelines on methods of appointment for counsel, establishes minimum standards for appointed attorneys, and provides both state resources and oversight of counties' indigent defense systems. Thanks to legislation championed by Sen. Ellis over the years, state funding for indigent defense has gone from $0 in 2001 to over $30 million in 2009.

"The Future of Power"
Magazine or Newspaper Article, Bulletin of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, issue 3, volume LXIV
By Joseph S. Nye, Harvard University Distinguished Service Professor and Jack L. Goldsmith
"The conventional wisdom among those who looked at the Middle East used to be that you had a choice either of supporting the autocrat or being stuck with the religious extremists. The extraordinary diffusion of information created in Egypt and other Middle Eastern countries reveals a strong middle that we weren't fully aware of. What is more, new technologies allow this new middle to coordinate in ways unseen before Twitter, Facebook, and so forth, and this could lead to a very different politics of the Middle East. This introduces a new complexity to our government's dealings with the region."

"The Cybersecurity Changes We Need"
Op-Ed, The Washington Post
By Melissa Hathaway, Senior Advisor, Cyber Security Project and Jack L. Goldsmith
"There is widespread agreement that this long-term trend of grabbing the economic gains from information technology advances and ignoring their security costs has reached a crisis point," write Melissa Hathaway and Jack Goldsmith. "As we progress digitally, we must also adopt and embed sometimes-costly security solutions into our core infrastructures and enterprises and stop playing the game of chance."

This was a game where the Bears were worked over by a better team from start to finish. Jason Campbell was supposed to be the more seasoned quarterback but nobody told Colin Kaepernick.
Kaepernick was the story of the game as he torched the Bears defense for 243 yards, two touchdowns and a quarterback rating of 133.1. Compare that to Campbell who had only 107 yards, two interceptions and a rating of 52.7.
Aldon Smith was in Campbell's face all night finishing with 4.5 sacks and seven hits on the quarterback. It was an epic disaster for J'Marcus Webb, Gabe Carimi and the offensive line. The team's 143 yards total offense was their worst showing since 2010 when Jay Cutler was knocked out of a game against the Giants with a concussion.
They can only hope their starting quarterback can recover from his current concussion and help right the ship.The Bears now have a two game losing streak and have relinquished their lead in the NFC North. They will look to rebound next week at home against the Minnesota Vikings.

'Top Gear' (USA) Recap: 'RVs'
After finding America's toughest car, the hosts of History's Top Gear are taking on one of the UK show's more outrageous challenges: making motorhomes. If you expect this to go well, you're watching the wrong show.
Tanner informs us via voice-over that RVs are expensive, and so they decided that they ought to make ones that are both cheaper and fun to drive. His idea of this is of course, one that goes fast and drifts, so he brings us a 1983 Porsche with a giant rocket strapped to it, "because that is awesome."
Adam's response to this is a 1973 Buick that he's put a replica of New York City's Flatiron Building on. "This is only ten blocks from my house," he says proudly, obviously referring to the real thing and not the giant structure on top of his convertible.
Rutledge is the last to arrive, driving the one vehicle that doesn't look insane. He calls it the "Mini Winnie" and it's a Honda wagon. This may be the most low-key vehicle in the history of Top Gear - so of course, his colleagues don't think it's fun enough.
All three cars now have to race to their parking spaces, with Tanner predictably leaving smoke in his wake. Adam learns the challenges of driving with a building on top of your vehicle. Rutledge ends up bringing up the rear, which is probably safer for him anyway. Upon their arrival, Rut's Honda pulls in half, shocking Tanner, whose comment is "Let's go burn something."
Unfortunately for Rutledge, just as he's about done setting up his homestead, Tanner realizes they're not even staying there. They have to head to Charlotte in order to camp in the infield at a NASCAR race. After "a half-hour of whining," to quote Adam, the boys head back out onto the open road.
They use their travel time to extol the virtues of their new rides...to a point. Rutledge's is ridiculously loud and Adam has issues with the wind. "I may have underestimated the complexities of driving Miss Daisy's entire apartment building," he admits, while Rut thinks he might be getting high off the Honda's exhaust. Oh, and look out for that bridge, Adam.

Two projects at Western Technical College are helping the school save money and teach its students about sustainability.
The college launched its Passive House Project where they build a house that's 80-90% energy efficient. That house will then be sold and the money will be used to start another.
They are also one of only two colleges in the country that own and operate a dam.
The Angelo dam was bought for one dollar and is being fitted for new hydro equipment to produce electricity. "These two projects are examples of how we can apply the concepts of sustainability in a teaching way and have the facilities pay for themselves and that's what we think is really unique about this," said Western President Lee Rasch.
Over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, the college's energy director will go through offices making sure blinds are closed and computers are turned off. That practice has saved them more than a half a million dollars in just a couple of years.

Just to make sure there's no typo. Is that supposed to be
That z on the left. Is that correct?.
If , then
I'm asked to find the volume which is inside both the sphere and the paraboloid .
My attempt: The equation of the sphere : . So it's a sphere with radius and center in . And the paraboloid is easy to visualize.
My guess is goes from the equation of the paraboloid to the equation of the sphere. So from to . I just want to be sure.
you know that
change from the parabola to the sphere as you said
we need to present with respect to
let z'=z-1/2 I just move the solid 1/2 unit down the new equations
since you need the positive upper coordinate ...........(1)
the integral
if you use cylindrical it will be easier I think
Today a friend of mine told me the right answer is . I had shown him your (NCA) post, he copied it in his draft. He went to university and checked the result with a teacher who said it is wrong. My friend didn't understand all what the teacher said, he just came up with .
As I trust you and that your post makes sense to me, I wonder where's the error of the teacher. I know he used cylindrical coordinates, but I don't really know what he did. It seems that for him goes from (so the paraboloid) to , which I don't know what is it (it has no other choice than being the sphere, but as you pointed out, the paraboloid is inside it. I'm quite confused!)
Does someone has anything to say?
as i said before the paraboloid is completely inside the sphere for so the plane divides your solid into two parts: a lower part, which is the paraboloid, and an upper part,
which is the upper half of your sphere. i forgot to add the volume of the upper part of your solid! you should now understand the limits of the integral in your teacher's solution as well.

I recently wrote a post entitled Tracking Keyword Ranking Position with Google Analytics which demonstrated how you can produce a report using filters and custom variables that will show precisely where your page is ranking for a particular keyword for users referred via Google search results.
One of the downfalls to the approach outlined in the previous article is that the keyword reports produced by the filters display %20 instead of spaces in the User Defined Value, as shown in the following screenshot:
My first reaction was to try and create a Search and Replace filter in the Google Analytics profile, but Google does not allow you to enter a single space in the Replace String field, instead treating that field as being empty. Other people recommend using an underscore instead of a space as the replacement character.
The solution is to use a non-breaking space (Option+Space on OSX, or Alt+0160 on Windows). The only other issue is that the filters will only replace once instance of %20 with a space, so you'll need to create several (I usually create five or six and call it a day).
After you make this change, note that it will take a few days to start seeing it take effect. Here's a screenshot with the updated filters in place, also notice that I've put the rank information at the front of the user defined field so that it is always visible.

I recently wrote a post on whether it's worth investing in a Premium account on LinkedIn. Since then I've had a lot of people changing their minds and deciding to pay for an account (I wish LinkedIn had an affiliate!) But also a lot of pushback. The people who push back seem to be in two categories – those who have tried a paid account and didn't get enough benefit, and those who feel we just shouldn't have to pay for social media at all.
I understand both opinions. LinkedIn lists the features, but really doesn't do a very good job of telling you the benefits or showing you how to use its premium features. Also – I get that the great part of social media is free – but I think we need to consider LinkedIn to be more of a business tool than a social media site (especially since they seem to be removing many of the "social" aspects of it!). $24 a month isn't a lot for a pretty powerful business tool. Remember the old days when we had to pay for our email?
Personally, my opinion about paying for LinkedIn's premium accounts has changed. Until a few years ago I believed that as long as you had a big enough network and you knew how to use the tools, you didn't need a LinkedIn a premium account. But that's no longer the case – for me anyway. Having a Premium account saves me time and ends up paying for itself. Plus, if I get even one customer from the premium features, it pays for the year.
Here are a few benefits of the premium account:
More Introductions
You get 15 Introductions with the basic Premium account. I realize that more introductions is not a big deal for most people – because most people don't use them. But the introduction is an extremely useful tool on LinkedIn – and when you start using it you realize five introductions at a time is not enough
Okay – I'm the first to admit I don't really use InMail. I usually have 6-9 stockpiled on any given month. But there is the occasional time when I need to use them and then I'm glad I have them. Sometimes an InMail is our last – or only – resort to contact someone who is far outside our Network.
Who's Viewed My Profile
One of the reasons I have a paid account is so I can see everyone "Who's Viewed my Profile." They are either leads or competitors. Both of which are good for my business. I have enough views per day that I couldn't get away with just seeing the last five. (I know for most people this isn't an issue.) But even if you could get away without seeing more than 5 people, the new statistics are worth the price of admission.
Being able to see how people are finding my profile, where they're coming from, what companies they come from and what keywords they're using to find me is very effective. Not only that, but I can actually segment my viewers by how they found me.
The other reason to pay for premium account is so you can see more of people's profiles and more of their name. How many times have you done a search and the result is "LinkedIn Member". Or you've gone to their profile to see "Upgrade to see member's profile." Argh! While this really rubs me the wrong way – it's still the facts of (LinkedIn) life.
With the free account, even when reverse engineering through a Google search it's hard to see the full profiles of everyone in your network. And its time-consuming.
More Search Filters
I am a huge fan of LinkedIn's Advanced Search – I also really like the premium filters you get with a paid account! I use the Company Size and Groups search all the time myself.
Saved Profiles
With the premium account I can both save more searches – up to five – and I can save/tag/set reminder/write notes on the profiles of people I am not directly connected to. Since I'm using LinkedIn as a CRM, this is especially useful.
When speaking to a prospect on the phone, I can pull up their profile and just keep notes on them, whether I'm connected to them or not.
Open Link
With a premium account you also get OpenLink that allows other members to message you whether they are connected or not. While I do get some spammy InMails through OpenLink – I also get about 3 folks a week who contact me for consulting, speaking, or training .
So should you?
Are there workarounds for a lot of this? Of course there are. But the workarounds take time. The main reason I have a premium account on LinkedIn is because it saves me time.
And of course there are some features you just don't get access to a unless you pay for them. But for $24 a month it's a deal!

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Yeah, you gotta do what feels right to you :) Just answering from my point of view and what I would do in the same situation. Good luck with figuring it all out!
I'm in Ireland from 28/02 - 03/03 (going on my birthday...yay!) so will post a few pics after I get back.

Gullinbursti about to peak
David John with the latest update on horses to follow in National Hunt Notebook 2012/13.
- Related Content
There have been four Notebook horses in action since the start of the year with three running on the card at Exeter on New Year's Day.
We will start with Beckhani in the novices' hurdle for Jonjo O'Neill where he finished a well-held third.
He was stepped up in trip from two miles and looked pretty leg-weary in the heavy ground but he is a nice scopey type and is not one to give up on just yet.
The very testing ground is just what Gullinbursti enjoys and he showed much more like it in the novices' chase over three miles.
He had faded rather tamely on the previous occasion at Haydock Park but was only just run out of things in the closing stages by favourite Paul Nicholls' Hawkes Point.
He jumped soundly for Dougie Costello and his turn must be just around the corner.
Pinkneys Prince had a first outing in handicap company and he travelled in quite promising fashion for a long way until unable to find any extra from the second last.
He is another horse who could win a race now he seems to have found his level but similar to Beckhani, it is hard to draw a firm conclusion about this effort while the ground remains desperate as he looks as though this extra distance will suit.
Finally, Papamoa continues to mix it in some pretty hot novice chases in the north.
His latest start at Ayr saw him struggling under pressure down the back straight and to be fair to the grey, he stuck to his guns reasonably well at a respectable distance behind Real Milan.
There remains the distinct impression he can add to his tally when tackling handicap company over a real test of stamina.
