Companies routinely invest billions of dollars each year in various marketing and product promotion tools to enhance brand preference, gain market share and increase profitability. Allocating limited financial and other corporate resources in various marketing tools such as price positioning, new product introductions, product distribution, and advertising in order to meet or exceed financial performance targets has been a challenge for many businesses. A lack of precise measurement criteria, measurement tools, and business processes for the quantification of the effectiveness of the marketing investments makes the task of resource allocation under budget constraints more challenging. Additionally, the complexities and the dynamic nature of the marketplace further complicate the task of quantifying the financial impact of marketing investments.
Embodiments of the invention relating to both structure and method of operation may best be understood by referring to the following description and accompanying drawings:
Novel features believed characteristic of the present disclosure are set forth in the appended claims. The disclosure itself, however, as well as a preferred mode of use, various objectives and advantages thereof, will best be understood by reference to the following detailed description of an illustrative embodiment when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The functionality of various modules, devices or components described herein may be implemented as hardware (including discrete components, integrated circuits and systems-on-a-chip 'SoC'), firmware (including application specific integrated circuits and programmable chips) and/or software or a combination thereof, depending on the application requirements. The accompanying drawings may not to be drawn to scale and some features of embodiments shown and described herein may be simplified or exaggerated for illustrating the principles, features, and advantages of the disclosure.
The following terminology may be useful in understanding the present disclosure. It is to be understood that the terminology described herein is for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.
Framework—A basic infrastructure designed to provide one or more functions. A framework used in an information technology (IT) environment may typically include electronic hardware, software, and services building blocks that are designed to work with each other to deliver core functions and extensible functions. The core functions are typically a portion of the framework that may not be modifiable by the framework user. The extensible functions are typically a portion of the framework that has been explicitly designed to be customized and extended by the framework user as a part of the implementation process.
Model—A model can be a representation of the characteristics and behavior of a system, element, solution, product, or service. A model as described herein captures the behavior of a marketplace that includes suppliers and consumers of products and services. The model may include a declarative specification of the structural, functional, non-functional, and runtime characteristics of the marketplace. The model may be often used to as a simulation tool to predict future values of the dependent variable based on the input values of the independent variables and to play various what-if scenarios in business planning.
Marketing—As defined by the American Marketing Association, marketing is the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large.
Marketing investments—Allocation and expenditure of resources towards one or more marketing activities that are directed to achieve desired business results.
Service—Utility or benefit provided by a provider to a consumer. The provider and the consumer may vary by application and may include an enterprise, a business unit, a business process, an application, a third party, an individual, and similar others. Enterprise services may be provided in the course of conducting the enterprise business.
System—One or more interdependent elements, components, modules, or devices that co-operate to perform one or more predefined functions.
Configuration—Describes a set up of elements, components, modules, devices, and/or a system, and refers to a process for setting, defining, or selecting hardware and/or software properties, parameters, or attributes associated with the elements, components, modules, devices, and/or the system.
Expected financial results and the financial performance of investments made by companies may be measured and benchmarked in terms of financial parameters such as revenues, profits, return on investment (ROI), return on capital (ROC), payback, and similar others. The characteristics of the business-to-consumer (B2C) marketplace such as short sales cycle, relative simplicity of products, limited distribution channels (e.g., retail or direct), well established consumer buying behavior and similar others generally improves the availability of measurable data for a given marketing investment. That is, the impact of marketing investments such as advertising, product rebate campaigns and the like on the revenue of a particular consumer product sold to a consumer may be quantifiable.
In a business-to-business (B2B) marketplace the products and services are typically sold by one business to another business. While companies participating in the B2B marketplace may have sophisticated programs to deliver messaging to their intended target audiences, they have not been effective in quantifying returns on marketing investments. The characteristics of the B2B marketplace may include a diversity of highly complex or advanced technology products, a multiplicity of services associated with the products, complex distribution channels, e.g., products sold via a combination of direct and indirect channels, value added resellers, solution providers, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and similar others, adds to the challenge of measuring marketing effectiveness. In addition, in the B2B space, factors such as longer sales cycles and delayed effect of marketing investments on revenues may further complicate the quantification of returns on marketing investments. In an era of shrinking marketing budgets with ever rising revenue goals, measuring marketing effectiveness and modifying investment strategies is a competitive advantage and a business imperative.
Applicants recognize that it would be desirable to provide a framework for the measurement and quantification of the financial impact of marketing investments to determine their effectiveness. That is, it would be desired to provide a robust model operable in a framework that is based on a standardized platform, the model being used to accurately predict financial performance given a portfolio of marketing investments. Applicants further recognize that it would be desirable for the robust model to take into account non-linear factors affecting the behavior of the B2B marketplace including delayed impact of marketing investments on revenues, diminishing impact of marketing investments on revenues, seasonality of demand and similar others.
Systems and methods disclosed herein provide a framework (may also be referred to as a generic architecture from which application specific architectures may be configured) for optimizing financial performance. The framework that is based on a standardized platform provides a non-linear econometric model for accurately predicting financial performance given a portfolio of marketing investments and an optimization module to optimize the financial performance. Time series data describing the financial performance generated by corresponding marketing investments is provided to configure an econometric model. Linear coefficients of the econometric model are adjusted in accordance with the qualitative factors received as inputs from experts. The econometric model is transformed into an aggregated non-linear econometric model that includes non-linear factors that cause the financial performance to change at a varying rate as a function of the marketing investments. An allocation of the marketing investments generated by the aggregated non-linear econometric model is adjusted by applying an optimization algorithm to provide an optimized financial performance.
Framework for Quantifying Financial Performance
The framework 100, which may be based on a standardized, commercially available computer platform, may be used as an easy to use, intuitive tool to plan marketing strategies, assess various marketing budget allocation scenarios and select marketing investment strategies to maximize financial performance including revenues and profits. Additional details of the standardized computer platform are described with reference to
The framework 100 leverages non-linear modeling to determine marketing vehicles that significantly impact revenues and profits, the Bayesian and Delphi adjustments 112 and 114 to incorporate expert opinions 110 in a quantifiable manner, and mathematical optimization 150 for determining an optimal mix of marketing investments 160 to maximize financial returns. The framework 100 encapsulates the entire process to optimize the marketing investments and provides an easy to use user interface for the decision maker.
As described herein, a marketing vehicle (may also be referred to as a marketing tool or instrument) is simply a form of marketing communication that serves to reach a target audience. Examples of marketing vehicles may include brand advertising, promotional advertising, direct marketing, trade shows and seminars, sponsored events, web marketing and similar others. In an exemplary model to simulate optimized allocation for maximizing the financial performance of a B2B marketplace, marketing investments in nine marketing vehicles were used including brand advertising, demand generation advertising, external communications, sales collaterals, direct marketing, events, field enablement, web marketing and non event sponsorships.
The framework 100 is operable to construct (may also be referred to as configure, define, or generate) one or more linear econometric models 120 based on the time series data 116 as input. A linear econometric model 122 (also referred to as simply an econometric model) included in the one or more linear econometric models 120 is represented by a mathematical equation E100 that linearly relates a dependent variable (e.g., financial performance) and a set of independent variables (e.g., multiple marketing vehicles). In each model a particular set of independent variables may be selected by conducting a statistical analysis to determine the most significant ones having the largest impact on revenue.
Specifically, Equation E100 may be expressed in terms of a linear function as follows:
where R (the dependent variable) is the estimated revenue (a measure of financial performance) computed by the linear econometric model 122, Alpha is an intercept coefficient of the linear model and corresponds to the estimated revenue without using any marketing vehicles (e.g., with no marketing effort, referred to as a base revenue), Betai is the slope of the linear model associated with the ith marketing vehicle and corresponds to a change in the estimated revenue for each additional dollar of investment in the ith marketing vehicle, xi (the independent variable) is the actual investment in the ith marketing vehicle, and Alpha, Beta1 through Beta1-n are constants and are referred to as linear coefficients.
Since the one or more linear econometric models 120 may not capture the complexities and the behavior of the B2B marketplace the one or more linear econometric models 120 are enhanced to include other qualitative or subjective factors such as macroeconomics trends (e.g., projections of future IT spending, the effect of prime lending rates, geo-political disturbances, epidemics, wars, global warming, price of oil, and similar others) and expert opinions 110 that influence revenues. Additional details of the impact of qualitative or subjective factors on the one or more the linear econometric models 120 are described with reference to
The one or more linear econometric models 120 are also enhanced to include unique, non-linear characteristics of the B2B marketplace compared to those of the B2C marketplace. Adstocking can be used to transfer the effect of an independent variable to future months thereby delaying impact of an investment in a marketing vehicle on revenue, e.g., caused due to a longer sales cycle. Adbudging can be used to comprehend a smaller return on investment as the investments increase. The unique characteristics of the B2B marketplace are captured by transforming the one or more linear econometric models 120 into multiple non-linear models 142 and forming an aggregated non-linear econometric model 140 from the multiple non-linear models 142. Additional details of the transformation from the linear econometric models into non-linear ones are described with reference to
An optimization module 150, which performs optimization under budget constraints, assesses marketing investments in various marketing vehicles and recommends an optimized set or portfolio of marketing investments 160 that maximizes the desired financial performance. In addition, the optimization module 150 provides a simple, easy to use interface to the decision maker. Additional details of the optimization module 150 are described with reference to
Predicted optimized revenues and corresponding allocations for marketing investments 160 computed by the optimization module 150 may be compared with the actual data by a refinement module 170 to further refine the models 120 and 140 and the non-linear factors 130, thereby improving the fidelity and the accuracy (by reducing the error) of the prediction relative to the one or more linear econometric models 120. The refinement of the linear and non-linear econometric models may be implemented by modifying business rules that may be used to implement the various models.
Time Series Data
Delphi and Bayesian Adjustments
Questions may be formulated as hypotheses. The experts state their opinion about the relevance of certain drivers of change with regard to their business units and marketing vehicles on an ordinal scale, e.g., on an 8 point scale. An exemplary list of questions may include: (1) Effect of HP pricing strategy in any of the product categories relative to competition, (2) Sub-BU lifecycle (growth, maturity or decline) of the product category, (3) Introduction of new products in a business area by HP or by the competition, (4) Change in current and future trends in market demand for IT spending (5) Strengthening of sales force by HP and streamlining sales processes (6) Change in trends in supplier pricing, (7) Reseller loyalty and a variety of other factors.
Each expert determines a quantitative impact of a qualitative or subjective factor by assigning a numerical value in percentage terms. For example, one expert may determine that the effect of a product life cycle is significant and may thus assign a high value on an eight-point scale. Similarly other experts quantify the influence of the product life cycle. Their stated inputs are consolidated and an average is computed as the expert opinions 110. In the event of wildly differing and dissenting assessments (measured by standard deviation), a discussion is moderated by an experienced and knowledgeable interlocutor to achieve consensus. This approach is applied to every question in the questionnaire and an overall average is computed. This average value is added to the estimated intercept coefficient (Alpha obtained in Equation E100). If the intercept value is "a" and the estimated impact of external factors is 4%, then "a" is updated to "1.04a".
A commercially available web based survey delivery and management tool that provides an easy to use interface for the survey design, delivery and analysis of the responses to the questions may be used to adjust the models and moderate a discussion amongst the experts effectively. Since the econometric model is based on periodic revenues and investments by marketing vehicles each slope coefficient corresponds to the relative effect of a marketing vehicle on revenue.
A separate set of questions are presented to and answered by the experts for updating the slope (Beta) coefficients. The questions are based on the premise that the raison d'etre of marketing is to deliver the right message to the right audience at the right time. So the marketing questionnaire may include questions related to (1) quality of content in the messaging, (2) the ability to target a qualified audience, and, (3) deliver advertising at the appropriate time. The experts answer these questions relative to each one of the marketing vehicles deployed and each slope coefficient 106 is updated according to the estimated average impact of the three drivers of marketing effectiveness. The updated econometric equation serves as the objective function to maximize revenue. Towards this end, a mathematical optimization is invoked as the final step in determining the optimal mix of investments for incremental revenue generation.
The Bayesian adjustment 112 is used to incorporate qualitative or subjective information about the probability distribution associated with the intercept and slope coefficients of the one or more linear econometric models 120 to adjust the intercept and slope coefficients 104 and 106 accordingly. Bayesian models use a probability model that accurately describes the data known as the sampling distribution. The Bayesian models also use subjective information about the parameters of the sampling distribution/probability model and can be viewed as imposing a probability measure. The sampling distribution and the probability measures are combined to derive a posterior distribution. The time series data 116 describing the revenue and corresponding marketing investments serves as the sampling distribution and the expert judgment codified by a probability measure serves as the prior distribution.
Similar to the use of questionnaires to gather expert opinions 110 to make Delphi adjustment 114, questionnaires may be used to gather expert opinions 100 to make the Bayesian adjustment 112. The consensus output from the experts is used to codify the prior distribution, which is used in the Bayesian modeling. Operationally, from the moderated enquiry and feedback, a distribution of values is obtained for each question answered and is modeled by a probability distribution which serves as a prior distribution.
Linear to Non-Linear Model Transformation for the B2B Marketplace
N(R i)=[delta*(R i)**tau]/[rho+(R i)**tau] Equation E200
where Ri is the estimated revenue corresponding to the ith marketing vehicle (per Equation E100), N(Ri) is the non-linear econometric model, and delta, tau and rho are configurable parameters. The particular values for the parameters delta, tau and rho may be selected in the Equation E200 to represent the adbudging 136 effects experienced in a B2B marketplace.
Marketing vehicles exert influence on revenue over a long period known as memory effect. It is simply the extent of the impact of a marketing vehicle on revenue carried over from one time period to subsequent periods. Operationally memory effect is induced by adjusting the drivers to produce exponentially decaying impact on revenue over time and is known as adstocking in marketing parlance. The diminishing impact on ROI known as adbudging postulates smaller return as investments increase. These non-linear effects are sewed into the overall model to capture all the marketing dynamics of the B2B marketplace.
Adstocking is the fraction of a marketing vehicle's impact on revenue over future time periods. As the precise carry-over effect of a vehicle is unknown, adstocking may be defined as a fraction over a range of values between (0, 1), with 0 corresponding to a marketing vehicle having an instantaneous effect of advertising on revenue, and 1 corresponding to a marketing vehicle having a 100% future effect on revenues in the future months. A value of adstocking between 0 and 1 corresponds to x % of its effect being transferred to the future months, decaying gradually in an exponential fashion. Based on historical and simulated data derived from experiments the range of values for adstocking is observed to be typically between (0.25, 45). Searching for the best adstocking levels among all the nine marketing vehicles described may require examining over 100,000 models per business unit.
Seasonality 136 effects may be included by using techniques such as seasonally adjusted time series data and state space model based method for seasonal adjustment. The aggregated non-linear econometric model 140 is an aggregation of the non-linear econometric models 142 to accurately quantify the statistical relationship between revenue and the corresponding marketing vehicles.
The optimization module 150 uses a revenue equation estimated from the time series data 116 as the objective function. The objective is typically a non-linear function (e.g., Equation E200) as defined by the aggregated non-linear econometric model 140. Using the overall planned budget and individual constraints on the marketing vehicles, a gradient search algorithm 152 is launched to find an optimal set of marketing investments to provide the highest yield in terms of desired financial performance such as revenues and profits. Prior to optimization, a non-linear, profit (Y-axis) versus investment (X-axis), curve for product A shows an initial marketing investment 154 and a non-linear profit/investment curve for product B shows an initial marketing investment 156. After optimization, the recommended investment allocations for optimized financial performance 160, per computations performed by the optimization module 150, are shown to have a shift (increase) in marketing investment 156 to investment 162 and a shift (decrease) in marketing investment from investment 154 to investment 164.
The platform 100 provides a built-in tool with a spreadsheet 168 interface to implement the marketing portfolio optimization. This tool enables the user (typically a financial decision maker or marketing professional) to test various what-if marketing scenarios and determine the best marketing investment strategy that provides the highest benefit in terms of desired revenues and profits.
The optimization algorithm is the gradient search algorithm 152 known as generalized reduced gradient (GRG) procedure. The GRG methods, which are selectable in many commercially available spreadsheet tools, are algorithms for solving nonlinear programs of general structure. The framework 100 provides a seamless conduit to incorporate the objective function built or estimated in an external platform executing statistical software 166 (including packages such as SAS, EXCEL, MATLAB, S-Plus, and similar others). The optimization module 150 provides a utility to load the data and a custom interface that can perform analyses at various levels of granularity (country, business unit, product line levels).
There is a significant improvement in the prediction of the revenues for a given portfolio of marketing investments using the framework 100 compared to the traditional linear model based predictions. In a particular marketing investment application, the aggregated non-linear model 140 provided by the framework 100 results in an overall squared coefficient of correlation that is approximately equal to 80% and the average absolute percent error is approximately equal to 10%.
Optimized Return on Investment
Method for Optimizing Financial Performance
At process 310, time series data is received, the time series data including data describing the financial performance generated by corresponding marketing investments made as a function of time. At process 320, an econometric model is configured from the time series data, the econometric model including linear coefficients that define a quantitative linear relationship between the financial performance and the corresponding marketing investments. The configuring of the operation model includes defining the linear coefficients such as the intercept and slope coefficients of the linear econometric model. At process 330, the linear coefficients of the econometric are adjusted in accordance with the qualitative factors, thereby enabling the qualitative factors to be quantified into the econometric model. At process 340, the econometric model is transformed into an aggregated non-linear econometric model, the aggregated non-linear econometric model including non-linear factors that cause the financial performance to change at a varying rate as a function of the marketing investments. At process 350, an allocation of the marketing investments generated by the aggregated non-linear econometric model is adjusted by applying an optimization algorithm included in the optimization module to provide an optimized financial performance.
It is understood, that various steps described above may be added, omitted, combined, altered, or performed in different orders. For example, a process 322 may be added before process 330. At process 322, inputs are received from experts to quantify qualitative or subjective factors affecting the financial performance, the inputs being used to modify an intercept and slopes associated with the econometric model.
Benefits of the tools and techniques for predicting financial performance include a framework that uses a standardized computer platform to provide easy to use interfaces for selecting the optimum portfolio of marketing investments. The framework 100 provides high fidelity models that accurately predict the non-linear behavior and characteristics of the B2B marketplace. In addition, qualitative and subjective factors such as macroeconomic trends that have an effect on the revenues are quantified and incorporated into the overall model.

Does your blog suck? If you're not publishing informative, engaging content or you're constantly pimping your company more than offering value to your readers, it probably does.
Don't worry. Even if your blog does indeed suck, you can still salvage it and transform it into a leader in your niche.
Let's look at some of the reasons your blog might suck, and what you can do about it.
1. You Post Sporadically.
How often do you publish on your blog? Once a month, every few months, or basically whenever the urge strikes you? If that sounds like your blogging routine, your blog just might suck.
It's difficult to build readership and a core audience if you post infrequently or go long spells without publishing anything. Sure, you might get a stray visitor here and there, but when they see that you rarely post (say, the date on your most recent post was from two or three months ago) they have no incentive to keep coming back. They may even think the blog is extinct, so they vanish.
What to do about it: Create an editorial schedule and stick to it. Commit to publishing new content on a regular basis, even if it's only one post a week or a few times a month. Don't worry so much about quantity here. It's more about quality and some level of consistency.
2. You're an Incessant Self-Promoter.
Newsflash: audiences have no interest in reading a blog where all you do is promote your company, your products or your services.
It's fine to make big company announcements or talk about new product releases on occasion. It's even okay to weave in relevant features of your software application, for instance, in posts where it makes sense. But don't use every post as a pulpit to pimp and promote your products. That's what sales-driven landing pages are for.
What to do about it: Offer your readers value-driven content. Be selfless with your writing. People love process-driven content that helps them solve a problem. Offer your audience expert insights and commentary on the latest trends in your industry. Give back and build relationships through spotlights and group interviews.
If you do need to promote yourself, leverage research and persuasive data to make a compelling case as to why customers should buy your products or your services.
3. Your Writing Stinks.
Face it: everyone has different strengths and skills. Ultimately, writing may not be yours. All too often, small business or startup owners try to wear every hat; they're the founder, CEO, webmaster, head of accounts receivable, and the company blogger. If their writing chops aren't up to par, you might get blog posts that are unfocused, rambling or poorly structured, or the posts have no clear thesis or a really bold opinion with no supporting points.
How to fix it: Look, just because you can type, doesn't mean you can write. Know your limitations and step away from the keyboard when required. Hire someone who can write. Here are some tips on finding and hiring writers.
4. Your Blog Consists Entirely of Guest Posts.
We get it – you're busy. But if you can't find the time to write and all you do is publish guest posts on your blog, it may come off as spammy. Regular readers may get the impression that your only goal is to churn out content for a traffic grab. Or they may think you don't care enough about your own blog to post any longer, which is a clear turn off.
What to do about it: There's nothing wrong with publishing the occasional guest post, but you still need to make your presence known. It's your blog, after all; your content lends authenticity and a consistent voice – it reaffirms ownership. If you have regular readers, they're there for a reason, and that reason is probably your writing. Again, get an editorial calendar and carve out time to write.
5. You Never Respond to Comments.
Readers who take the time comment on an article and never receive a response may never return. By not responding to audience feedback – even if you're being criticized – you're missing an opportunity to engage your readers and build a community.
How to fix it: The more you interact with your readers, answer questions, give feedback and share your thoughts, the more it feels like you're committed to your readership, which drives more readers. Make sure you've got your blog set up so you get automatic notifications each time a comment is posted. Even if you don't reply right away, set aside some time to read and respond to comments.
6. All Your Posts are Keyword Driven.
There's nothing wrong with letting keyword research drive some of your content strategy. However, when every post is a play for search traffic and an exercise in checking off keyword-driven topics on a list, it's obvious and it gets tedious.
How to fix it: Sure, work in a ratio of informational, keyword-driven topics for your blog, but don't go overboard. Make sure to mix in topics driven by trends, current events, industry news, etc., so there's a healthy balance.
7. You Bombard Visitors with Aggressive Pop-ups.
If someone visits your blog and it prompts a pop-up once, fine. But if pop-ups appear on a schedule of every few minutes, that really sucks. It kills the user experience and their trust in your site.
How to fix it: Dial back on the pop-up frequency. Please! Most audiences can deal with one per visit, but any more than that and it's spamming, and frankly will drive them away. On mobile, the experience is even worse, where it can be near impossible to close out some pop-ups (be sure to test on a mobile platform). Also, try to align the pop-up offer with the article topic, instead of using a one-size-fits all approach. In cases where you don't have a relevant offer, lose the pop-ups!

Stayed 1 night. Nice hosts. Place is about 1/4 mile off I-16. A little road noise if outside your RV. You will likely track sand into your RV. Long pull thru sites and utilities worked well. Fenced dog run is too far from sites to be conveniently used. Interior roads were easy to navigate. Would stay again if in the area. - TH travelers

How could you not love this place? Just as we were finishing setting up, they deliver some warm, home-made chocolate chip cookies!
The spots were quite long and comfortably wide, but not very private. Most sites are nestled among a pine forest. The other campers there were very friendly. - FloridaWanderers

Park is located 1/2 mile south of I-16 @ exit 111. We were not bothered by road noise. Sites are located among tall pine trees & most are pull-thrus. Sites are long enough to stay hooked up for a one night stay. Utilities are located toward rear of sites. Roads & sites are packed sand/gravel. Park has a fishing pond, frisbee golf, & a nice childrens playground. Wifi & 24 channel cable tv both worked well. In addition to chocolate chip cookies on arrival, you can order some very tasty homemade cinnamon rolls in the office. We found the staff to be very friendly & helpful. We would definitely stay again when in this area. - c lewis

We found camping heaven at George L. Smith State Park. Most of the wonderful sites were within feet of the lake. The sites were level and on compacted sandy soil. All facilities - hiking, boating, bathrooms, showers, laundry - were well maintained. The hosts were out every day taking care of the campground. There was ice and wood for sale, and a variety of boats to rent. The cypress trees growing in the lake and the bird population were extraordinary. This is a gem, and we plan to return. - Atnt Life Grand

We only spent one night here. We were trying to avoid an encounter with Hurricane Matthew and decided that we wanted to be further inland than Statesboro so we left to head west. Parkwood is a very nice park with full hook up 50 amp sites. We had a pull through with cable service and a picnic table on a concrete patio. The free WiFi worked OK for us and the bathrooms were very clean. For our one night stay it provided everything we needed. We paid $33.30 per night with Good Sam discount. - Coopsecondact

Nice little place. The sites are grassy, but level. The only bad thing I could say is the sites are VERY close, but I think all of them are pull thrus. The bath house was very clean. My husband said the men's showers did not have curtains. The man at the check in was very nice. For the campground to be on a busy road, it is very quiet. It seemed a lot of campers were here to stay. This place is well kept. Grass was mowed, paved roads to walk on. There is a pool, but it wasn't open yet. There are trees, but not quite big enough to give off shade yet. - ahunterswife

If you are a member of Harvest Hosts ($20/yr) you can boon dock here (and other Harvest Host places) for free for one night only. The owner of this vineyard was very friendly and accommodating. The road in is still dirt, but we made it easily in our 35' 5er. We parked in the big, surprisingly level, field. Very convenient to I-16. - melissabrvs

I stumbled upon this Georgia State Park just outside Reidsville. It's something of a quirky place, only 29 campsites, a real family recreation/picnic grounds with a miniature golf feature and an 18 hole golf course adjacent to the campground. It's a clean, quiet campground on a small pond. The host was affable, helpful and kept the grounds (i.e. bathrooms) clean. This would have been a full 5 star rating had there been a working washing machine! The low rate was a special 50% off discount they were running during January. - RonMill

This park is quiet, clean and has so much for children to do, the splash pad was wonderful for our grand children, there are 2 really nice playgrounds and even a workout station, we have never seen anything like that in any of the other parks. We all enjoyed the putt putt golf and fishing in the lake. We will camp here again. - thejones357

We love everything about this park. Peace, quiet, clean, well kept. Current camp host (she was here last year also) is a little nuts, but the managing ranger set her straight. This is our second year spending a week in October here and we plan to return next year. - Joyce and Gene Whitley

This is a no frills city park, with spacious pull through sites.
I was a bit worried about showing up without a reservation in November, but the park was mostly empty.
Pretty quiet, but some train noise in the evening (but it didn't wake us up at night).
3 bars of Verizon LTE (fast enough to stream).
We'll definitely stay here again if we pass through this part of GA. - Robert Lee

This is a place to stay with full hook ups, 50Amp outlet only. This a no frills Park.
Sites are all pull thru, lots of tree, level packed gravel. - canyon453
Apr 2016 - $18.00
Can't rate the service because there isn't any. That being said, this is a well maintained self service park. Sites are huge and level. The electric is all 50 amp ...if we had paid attention to website we would have known that. Fortunately there is a walmart less than a mile down the road that sells adapters. Peaceful, close to town. Antenna picked up good tv. Would definitely stay here again if ever there was a reason to go back to Vidalia. - drewcher

What our Customers Say about our Service
"I requested a basket that contained a wine bottle to be delivered in Norway. It is the first shop that could do it, and my boyfriend received a very good Spanish wine from La Rioja. The shop did all its best to contact a local shop in Norway in order to fulfill my wishes, since Norway has alcoholic restrictions. Since the very beginning of my order the shop kept me informed by phone about the order, and I live in Spain! My boyfriend received the package with chocolates and a rose, on time and he was really suprised and very touched. Thank you Gift Baskets Overseas to help me to make happy a person. "

St. Clair Shores
Friends indeed help friend in need
Fundraiser planned for accident victim
By Kristyne E. Demske
Posted January 23, 2013
Three months after a horrific out-of-state accident took the lives of four Michigan men, the community is coming together to help the lone survivor of the accident.
Thomas Thorngate, 52, of St. Clair Shores, was hospitalized with extensive injuries after a Nov. 7 crash near Mellette, S.D., that killed St. Clair Shores residents Wesley Frasard, 71, Ledger John Frasard Jr., 68, and William Edward Petrocy, 77, along with 69-year-old Nikolaos Andreopoulos, of New Baltimore.
Jack Brown, recorder for the Detroit-area Moslem Shriners in Southfield said Petrocy, Andreopoulos and Wesley Frasard were all Shriners, as is Thorngate. The group was in South Dakota for a pheasant-hunting trip and were on their way home at the time of the accident.
Rick Gaines, of Roseville, said he's only known Thorngate for about two years, but as Masons out of the same lodge, he knows "he's always been a very stand-up guy."
"He was one of the guys, when I first joined in, that actually welcomed me in and helped me to become a Mason," Gaines said. "You always see the two of us working in the trenches, working the Shrine Circus."
Gaines said Throngate, a father of four, is a "lighthearted, goodhearted guy, he'd do anything for you."
And Gaines takes seriously his Masonic oath, to help fellow Masons in times of need.
"A lot of us guys, on the whole, we get along really well; when somebody is down, we just try to help him out," Gaines said. "That's just part of what we do."
That's why he and his wife, Dawn, have planned a fundraiser at Continental Lanes on Gratiot for Feb. 1 to help raise money for Thorngate.
Dawn Gaines said she's gotten to know him very well through their volunteer work with the Shrine Circus.
"He's such a sweet guy; he spends a lot of time volunteering, so this is why I felt we've got to do something," she said.
She said she couldn't sit by and do nothing when she heard about the accident, and ever since she decided to host the fundraiser, she's been on the road asking businesses to be sponsors, donate items for auctions or just let them leave a few flyers to let the community know about the event.
"My husband knew the guys and I just, as I sat there a couple days after it sunk in … I was so upset that they all passed away," Dawn Gaines said. "I said, 'We've got to do something for Thorny.' I know he's going to have some expenses — there are going to be things. I just don't want to see him suffer any more than he is."
Tickets for the bowling fundraiser are $20 in advance or $25 at the door, if space is still available, and include three games of nine-pin no-tap bowling, cosmic bowling, shoe rental, two slices of pizza, dessert and a small pop. There will also be door prizes and raffle prizes from local businesses, as well as a 50-50 raffle.
Registration begins at 7 p.m. on Feb. 1 and bowling starts at 8 p.m.
"He would do the same thing for you," Dawn Gaines said. "This is just my way of — I know he would help me if I needed help with something — so this is my way to help him."
Advance tickets are available by calling Dawn Gaines at (586) 779-7449 or by picking up a flyer at Continental Lanes, 31055 Gratiot Ave.

text: I'm currently finishing my first year of Medical School and have always had the idea of joining the TA once qualified, but have no Military experience. So I'm looking at joining the TA now to get that experience and see if its for me. I tried joining 2 years ago during my first degree, but kept on being delayed (by both the RAMC and myself being ill) until eventually was recommended to join the OTC. I missed the OTC recruitment weekend through injury (Uni rugby). I'm trying to get the ball rolling again so I can do as much as I can this summer. I have been given two options by friends who are also in the TA (joining both as a CMT); 1) Go for a Nationally recruiting unit, I think 335 Med Evac and 206 Field Hospital were mentioned. 2) Join a London based Infantry regt. Can anyone give their opinions please? Or a prod in the right direction? Thanks.

I want to change the rendered form when I select type of the form. So, I use the following solution:
- Whenever user click to select a type (radio buttons), use jQuery to make an ajax call to write to the session the current selected type.
- In the view code, get the current selected type from the session, create the form of the current selected type, and return to the template.
For example, I have 2 type: teacher, and student. Teacher and Student form have different input fields:

Each of them offering similar experience but came out with different features. A few apps like Mobdro have been developed and we are sure they all can be at least perfect alternatives for Mobdro. Netflix, PlayBox, MovieBox, ShowBox and Crackle are some of alternatives to Mobdro app.

Hi bub hubbers!
Does anyone on here count calories at all? If so what are your stats? Thank you!
Hi bub hubbers!
Does anyone on here count calories at all? If so what are your stats? Thank you!
I count calories using the app my fitness pal.
Reasonable success. But the biggest benefit is learning what is better for you when doing food comparisons.
wifey of hubby who is always away. mother of two girls who are always amusing.
Thank you! I use my fitness pal too, i love it! Im currently eating around 1600 calories a day and burning around 2600 a day!
Before my pregnancy, from March 2012 to December 2012 I used the My Fitness Pal iPhone app and lost about 6kg which helped me get to a healthy pre-pregnancy weight and remain a healthy weight throughout pregnancy. I didn't exercise more than a walk 2-3 times a week.
I swear by the app and found it wonderful. Of course it can be tedious writing in everything you eat daily, but I found that after a couple of weeks it became habit. I love to bake so still ate cake/cookies etc, but it helped me realise how to balance what I ate to stick to my calorie count each day. Post-baby I've been EBF, and losing the pregnancy weight wasn't an issue cos of the feeding, so I haven't used the app in ages. Once baby weans, I may start using it again if I get above my healthy weight range again.
I eat about 1500-1600 cal a day but exercise four times a week so burn 250-300 cal each session. One day a week I have a cheat day where I eat 1800-1900 cal.
I'm aiming for overall health improvement that I can always maintain
wifey of hubby who is always away. mother of two girls who are always amusing.
I use my fitness pal to count calories, I had a lot of success with it after my DD was born and have recently got back into it. I eat pretty low calorie usually between 1000-1200 calories over 3 meals and 3 small snacks. I love the fitness pal app coz it really makes you think whether you actually need that chocolate/cake/chips when you see how many calories it has!
nope! Im sure its good to keep an idea of how much intake you are getting but calories are not as important as the actual food u are eating.
example: brown bread / rice is higher in calories than white bread but is nutritionally better for you.
Thats why I dont count. If you eat whole, fresh and clean you dont need to count

Gag Zakir Naik: Solicitor General tells Centre
Solicitor General Ranjit Kumar has advised the Ministry of Home Affairs to book controversial Muslim preacher Zakir Naik and his foundation Islamic Research Foundation (IRF) under anti-terrorism Acts, 'Indian Express' has reported.
According to reports, in a 16-page letter written by Solicitor General Ranjit Kumar to the Ministry of Home Affairs, Kumar said that Zakir Naik should be booked under anti-terror law and that the government should gag him. The letter further added that Naik's ideology is divisive and against India's pluralistic, secular and social fabric.
Naik, a Mumbai-based televangelist has been under scanner of various state and central agencies after media reported that one of the attackers involved in the Dhaka terror strike had been influenced by the preacher. The investigative agencies are also looking at Naik for allegedly making incendiary speeches. Naik, however, has rejected charges that his sermons inspired terror activity, claiming that he never encouraged anyone to kill innocent people.
The Centre had sought Kumar's legal opinion in the matter following reports Naik was consciously trying to divide religious groups and spread enmity among them.
