Google has been progressively rolling out a new "AdWords Experience" this year, with the promise that everyone will have access by the end of 2017.
Given we've been granted access, we've had a poke around to see what's new. Fortunately it's more than just some UX enhancements.
The new AdWords Experience comes with the tagline, "Meet the simpler, smarter AdWords." And with it comes the promise of the following benefits:
App developers will also now be able to import data from 3rd party app analytics programs to track conversions against their AdWords Campaigns.
While there's been some really impressive enhancements already introduced, Google still has plenty up its sleeve. The following items are due to be released soon…
There's plenty of features currently and many more coming which should encourage AdWords advertising to make the shift to the new interface. If you've started using it, what are your initial thoughts?

Users will start seeing ads in Facebook Messenger as a part of a series of changes rolled out by the social media giant last week. Although this gives marketers a new way to reach their audiences, not all are on-board with the idea nor believe this is an effective way of marketing…
Will users click on these ads?
Prior to now, Facebook Messenger has traditionally been used as a platform for users to connect and communicate with friends through chat, not learn about brands, businesses, products or services. Some have argued that because of this, users will not be interested in Messenger Home Ads.
We investigated this idea and whether users actually clicked on Messenger Home Ads. Interestingly for one client, we found that these ads actually received double the amount of clicks, compared to their respective News Feed Ads. Although this is a singular case, it does show that it's possible to achieve clicks through Messenger Home Ads.
Are Messenger Home Ads disruptive?
Simply by looking at the images below, we cannot ignore the fact that Messenger Home Ads take up significant screen space, which could potentially interrupt the user experience. We believe one of three outcomes could occur because of this large size:
Do Messenger Home Ads reach less people?
We found that compared to News Feed Ads, the reach for Messenger Home Ads is significantly less. This could be due to the fact that not all Facebook members use Messenger, or that not all users in Messenger are able to see these ads. Either way, we believe the best way to ensure your ads reach your targeted audience, is by ensuring your campaign displays across various placements.
How can marketers leverage Messenger Home Ads?
For some businesses, Messenger Home Ads may be an effective placement to add to your existing Facebook advertising repertoire. However for others, this could mean wasted advertising budget and negative ROI. The easiest way to see which Facebook advertising placements work best for your brand is by simply launching and testing the results of your campaign. You can read more about this topic here.

How fast is your mobile site speed? Google have released an updated free tool which not only analyses the load time of your mobile site, but also provides various recommendations for improvement.
It's no secret that faster websites get more customers. In fact, 50% of people expect a site to load in less than two seconds, and 53% will actually leave a page that takes longer than three seconds to load. We all know how frustrating slow websites can be, which is why it's more important than ever to design and foster fast, efficient and user-friendly site experiences.

If you've heard the buzz around a serious Google algorithm update on June 25, you're not alone. While there's nothing 'officially' confirmed as of yet, our data suggests otherwise.
Here's a snippet of our SERP Monitor which shows the various fluctuations to Google's search results over the past two months.
Search Engine Roundtable have also confirmed the likelihood of an algorithm update, posting various screen shots of tracking charts.
Although there's been plenty of buzz around the topic, Webmaster Trends Analysis, John Mueller is yet to confirm these effects…
Yep! We make updates all the time.
— John ☆.o(≧▽≦)o.☆ (@JohnMu) June 27, 2017
However, this update doesn't necessarily mean doom and gloom for all. We're pleased to see that a majority of our clients' rankings have experienced positive results.
While we wait for an official confirmation from Google, our best advice is to sit tight. We've learnt from previous updates that Google algorithms can take days, weeks or even months to fully roll out, so making sudden changes to your campaign right now may not be the best idea.
As always, you can contact us if you're unsure of anything or if you've noticed a change in your rankings. In the meantime, you can read more about this likely update here.

The Event
The Bonfire team joined over 800 others from the Western Australian advertising, media and communications industry this month at the new Crown Towers Ballroom for the 2017 Oasis Ball and Campaign Brief Awards.
The Cause
Together, we celebrated our industry and raised funds for The Oasis Project; an initiative that supports the Salvation Army's Crossroads West programme. This incredible programme is aimed at providing stable environments for young people who have had their home lives disrupted by their parents or guardian's addiction, abuse or abandonment.
The Nominations
Bonfire finalist for Agency of the Year.
Loud cheers could be heard from our tables when it was announced that Bonfire was nominated for the 'Agency of the Year' award, and although we didn't win the title this year, we were one of the finalists in this category.
Rene LeMerle, Bonfire's Head of Marketing, finalist for Advertising Person of the Year
We were also extremely proud to see one of our own, Rene LeMerle, as a finalist for 'Advertising Person of the Year'. Rene has been a valued part of our Bonfire family for over 12 years, and during this time has played a large role in overseeing Bonfire's transition from 'one of Perth's expert digital marketing agencies' to 'Perth's largest and most experienced digital performance agency'. Congratulations Rene, we're lucky to have you as part of the #BonfireSquad!

Final Word & Congratulations
Congratulations to all the individuals and agencies who walked away from the night as award winners, as well as all of those recognised as finalists. Thank you to Campaign Brief for recognising Bonfire as a leading agency in Perth and to Oasis Ball for allowing us to participate on the night and contribute to a great cause. We're already looking forward to attending next year's event!
So great to see 800 like minded people in one room #oasisball17 @campaignbrief @oasisball

You may have seen this warning in Google Analytics, but what exactly does it mean?
Google have recently announced an important update concerning their Google Analytics Remarketing Audiences which will change the way advertisers and marketers target audiences online. Essentially, Google will now start showing ads to users across multiple devices for advertisers using Remarketing Audiences built with Google Analytics. Cross-device remarketing has existed for some time now for advertisers using remarketing audiences built within AdWords, however this method was a manual and laborious task, requiring considerably more time and technical 'know-how' to achieve.
This new method, using the very simple audience-building tool in Google Analytics, gives advertisers the ability to reach more customers across their omni-channel buying journey, a change which has brought this method in line with platforms like Facebook who have been doing this for some time.
But… Why?
Buyer behaviour is constantly changing. According to a recent study:
"Six in 10 internet users will start shopping on one device but will continue or finish on a different one [device]."
This means more than half of buyers are accessible through multiple platforms and why it's now essential advertisers distribute their ads across all the devices where their consumers may be researching, considering or eventually purchasing.
Previously, if an advertiser built a remarketing audience in Google Analytics – or a subset of website visitors from whom they wish to retarget with specific ads – then they would only be able to reach them via browser cookies on a singular device. Now, by using signed-in user data, ads can be shown to visitors across any device which is linked to their Google account.
What Now?
Advertisers should reconsider the frequency and reach of their ads, now that they're going to be seen across multiple devices. Ideally, each user should now see the same remarketing ads more times, meaning messages will constantly need to be fresh and appealing.
It's also recommended advertisers review their website privacy policies to ensure these are compliant with their current privacy legislation in their area. In Australia, significant changes were made to the Privacy Act in 2014 – so, if your websites privacy policy has not been updated since then, you should review it. For all other questions or concerns, feel free to contact or connect with our experts on Twitter.

Bonfire and the Instant Products Group are no strangers, in fact Bonfire have been leading the digital strategy for two of its divisions since 2013. However, late last year we welcomed Instant Sea Containers, the third and final division of the Instant Products Group on board.
The Divisions
The Beginning
Entering an unknown industry, Scott Rawson – Founder and Managing Director of the Instant Products Group, knew he needed to engage his trusted digital marketing experts. Confident in our ability to deliver results, Scott approached Bonfire to lead the digital campaign for the company's newest division – Instant Sea Containers.
The Strategy
The digital strategy designed and implemented for Instant Sea Containers differed from those previously created for the other two divisions. Due to the niche nature of the sea containers market, we knew that a multichannel digital marketing strategy would be required. Bonfire recommended a combination of SEO, AdWords and Remarketing to drive the strategy.
The Results
After a short 6 months, this campaign has yielded some impressive results:
The Bonfire team would like to say a big thank you to Scott Rawson and the team at Instant Products Group for their ongoing support and loyalty. To discover how a sea container can be transformed into fully functional space, visit the Instant Sea Containers website.

Ever since Gary Illyes' announced Google's mobile-first index (MFI) in 2015 and its official confirmation in late 2016, there's been constant buzz around the topic. In particular, whether sites that have not implemented mobile friendly mark-ups and responsive website design are being penalised.
But before we jump to conclusions, let's first take a look at exactly what the mobile-first index is and how it affects not only marketers, but all businesses with an online presence.
@localseoguide please don't assume we WON'T have different indexing for mobile. We are still experimenting, but it may happen
— Gary Illyes ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ (@methode) September 28, 2015
In one of our recent blog posts, we mentioned the rise of mobile search and how Google have started to show a preference for mobile content rather than desktop.
The mobile-first index is Google's way of responding to both the rise of mobile technology and recent statistics indicating that most Google searches now happen on mobile. This means Google will create and rank its search listings based on the mobile version of content, rather than the desktop version.
The short answer is yes. The mobile trend is on the up and is showing no signs of slowing down, so as a business owner or marketing manager, adapting your website to suit this change will ensure your website's ranking won't be compromised and may give you a one-up from your competitors who are yet to make the change.
If you're guilty of not having a mobile-friendly website, don't stress just yet. There are some simple things you can do to get started:
As Google begins to prioritise mobile pages, it's important to ensure your site is not only up-to-date, but has also been optimised for search. Being mobile-friendly is simply one aspect of a digital campaign which should be used in conjunction with an overall strategy aimed at making your site easier for visitors to use.
Ultimately, it's important to keep in mind that as more people begin to search using mobile, more opportunities will arise for your business to improve its offerings and better meet consumer demands.

Google released a document on Valentine's day providing valuable insight into how brands should go about hiring an SEO agency, including guidelines on what to look out for and avoid when choosing and hiring an SEO specialist.
Included in this document was a video by Google's Developer Programs Tech Lead, Maile Ohye. In the almost 12-minute video, Maile offers her advice on how to identify a legitimate SEO provider as well as what exactly constitutes 'good' (and bad) SEO. Curious to know which practices make the cut by Google? We've summarised the video below.
"An SEO's potential is only as high as the quality of your business or website"
– Maile Ohye
Unfortunately, there are a number of SEO agencies out there who don't play fair, often using illicit techniques in an attempt to manipulate search engines. These techniques, and the agencies that use them, should be avoided at all costs as Google does not easily provide 'second chances'.
To avoid getting locked into a contract with one of 'these' SEO agencies, Google has provided an agenda to follow when interviewing and selecting an SEO provider. These are the steps Google recommends brands take when choosing an SEO:
STEP 1: Conduct a two-way interview – ask relevant questions to ensure they're sincerely interested in you and the success of your business.
STEP 2: Check their references – the agency should offer you a list of clients willing to talk to you about their experience. If they can't offer this, you should be cautious.
STEP 3: Request an audit – a good agency does their homework. Ask them to complete an audit, identifying any potential website issues and how they suggest to improve them, as well as what impact these changes are estimated to have on your digital campaign.
STEP 4: Decide if you want to hire – discuss with other decision makers within your business whether they think this agency is a good choice. Before deciding on an SEO agency, make sure all internal stakeholders are on board.
You should leave your first meeting with a potential SEO agency feeling impressed and holding a proposal which indicates extensive research into both your company's current position in the market, and your website.
In addition to the hiring process recommendations, Ohye also shared some useful insights on SEO basics as well as common misconceptions. Here are a few we found particularly agreeable and commonly find ourselves explaining to clients coming to us with limited search knowledge (or previous bad advice).
"SEO is not black magic" – SEO isn't magic and it won't work overnight. If an agency is promising instant rankings, avoid them, as they're likely to be practicing bad SEO – this could cause irreversible long term damage to your domain and could greatly affect your digital standing with Google.
SEO suggestions should align with google best practices – ask the SEO to corroborate their strategy recommendations with supporting documents from Google e.g. an article from their help centre, a Googler response in their forum or a video (like this one).
Good SEO aims to improve the searchers' entire experience – recommended changes should aim to not only create a search friendly site, but also a user-friendly site.
Quality SEOs will be genuinely invested in your business – they will be interested in learning about your business from a holistic stand point and genuinely care about your business goals, customers and other existing marketing efforts.
Good SEO takes time – allow 4 months to a year before you expect to start seeing real search results from strategy implementation. There are a lot of components in a good SEO strategy, and unfortunately no magic tricks to make them work faster.
An SEO's potential is only as high as the quality of your business or website – investing in a user-friendly website will significantly help every SEO strategy implemented. You can't build a home without a solid foundation.
"One of the biggest holdups to improving a website isn't [the SEO's] recommendation, but the business making time to implement their ideas."
– Maile Ohye
The road towards finding a legitimate SEO agency is not an easy one. However, the outcome of your choice is vital to both the health of your campaign and business. These guidelines should help with the decision process and ensuring your business is left in capable hands.

Freshwater Institute Field Trial
A field trial of the TimberFish Recirculating Aquaculture System was recently completed at the Freshwater Institute, a program of The Conservation Fund, located in Shepherdstown, West Virginia.
The Conclusions Section of the Final Report "Evaluation of Timberfish's Proprietary System for Producing Fish Using Wood Chips at the Conservation Fund", May 2011, prepared by The Conservation Fund Freshwater Institute, Shepherdstown, WV, is as follows.
"5.0 Conclusions
The Timberfish system successfully cultured rainbow trout from fingerling (26 g) to pan size (396 + 13 g) in 169 days (24 weeks) with only 1% mortality. Rainbow trout growth rate in the Timberfish system was nearly as fast as control fish fed to near satiation while grown at the same time in a single‐pass system at 12.5‐13oC. In addition, the Timberfish system successfully maintained good water quality for rainbow trout culture, even with a system hydraulic retention time of between 50‐100 days. While few organisms were found in the selector tray, invertebrates such as snails, earthworms, round worms, planarians, and fly larvae were observed in the system. Although we had no clear indication how much of the rainbow trout diet consisted of these invertebrates or periphytic growth, overall feed conversion in the rainbow trout was excellent at approximately 0.7 pound of feed per pound of gain. Thus, potentially 1/3 of the rainbow trout food intake may have come from organisms and periphytic growth that was produced within the Timberfish system. For these reasons, the Timberfish system appears to have considerable potential for rainbow trout production with little water or wastewater footprint and with reduced feed input."
The report also contained a comparison of fish fillets from the TimberFish and a control system with respect to proximate analysis and fatty acid profile. Interestingly, while the TimberFish fillets had slightly more protein than the control fillets, they also had significantly less crude fat (3.9% vs 6.8%). However, the fat that was present in the TimberFish fillets was considerably more beneficial than that present in the control fillets. Quoting again from the Report:
"A fatty acid profile comparison indicated some key differences in fatty acid compounds when comparing the TimberFish and control fish (Table 5). From a nutritional standpoint, the benefit of incorporating fish into the human diet is the presence of elevated concentrations of PUFA1 compounds in fish as compared to other protein sources. In this analysis, noteworthy differences were apparent regarding the PUFA:MUFA2 ratio when comparing TimberFish to control fish. Specifically, the TimberFish fillets had a 0.77 PUFA:MUFA ratio and the control fish had a 0.71 PUFA:MUFA ratio indicating that the TimberFish were likely consuming organisms (e.g. invertebrates, biological floc) that imparted higher concentrations of PUFA compounds to the fish compared to the control fish. Further, the TimberFish omega‐3:omega‐6 fatty acid compound ratio was 2.6 compared to a ratio of 2.0 for the control fish, which is also considered nutritionally advantageous. And of particular note, the omega‐3 fatty acid compound cis‐4,7,10,13,16,19‐Docosahexaenoic (DHA) was found to be at a concentration of 17.80 +/‐ 1.24 g/100g of tissue in the TimberFish fillets and at 13.02 +/‐ 0.40 g/100g of tissue in the control fish fillets. It is considered by nutritional health professionals that incorporation of foods high in DHA results in multiple health benefits. And despite the fact that the TimberFish fillets had a lower concentration of crude fat than the control fish, the TimberFish fillets had a notably higher concentration of DHA."
1 PUFA stands for polyunsaturated fatty acid. 2 MUFA stands for monounsaturated fatty acid.

- Manchester based Renold Plc on the acquisition of new headquarters at Manchester Airport business park and the disposal of an industrial site in Bredbury, Stockport
- YHA (England and Wales) on the refinancing of their entire portfolio and the development of a world class flagship Youth Hostel at the former Olympic Park site
- The Homes and Communities Agency on the £10m land acquisition at Gateway North Swindon and the £200m residential development at Northfleet (in partnership with Keepmoat).
Victoria will also support the growth of the firm's national healthcare law practice which is already considered one of the leading in the country by independent experts Chambers UK.
The team is a trusted adviser to over 50 NHS bodies, over 150 local authorities, and major independent sector providers such as, BMI Healthcare, HCA International, BUPA and the Hesley Group.
Over the last five years, the Manchester office has seen significant headcount growth since its opening in February 2012 and posted impressive financial results with 25 per cent growth for 2015/16.
The firm recently announced plans to move its Manchester office to No.1 Spinningfields. The move will see the firm quadruple its existing office accommodation when it moves into the heart of the award-winning Spinningfields estate in September 2017.
The decision by Browne Jacobson to relocate from its current premises at 3 Piccadilly Place follows a period of sustained growth for the firm and coincides with its plans to expand its service offering in the North West, grow its headcount and continue to deliver exceptional client service to its growing public and private sector client base.
This latest appointment takes the number of fee earners across Browne Jacobson's five office network to over 480 and follows on from a successful year for the law firm which saw it post a record turnover of £64.3m for 2015/16 and named 'Best Managed National Law Firm' at the Managing Partners' Forum (MPF) Awards. More recently the firm received its highest ever rankings in the latest edition of Legal 500, the independent directory of comparative law firm performance.

The most beautiful place on earth?
We will find out if the tai national park is truly an eden.
I had to take a boat from the main city Yamoussoukro all the way to Taï the country's biggest national park. It was quite a journey going on a speedboat all the way there, it made me feel alive. When I arrived after a 10 minute boat ride, I could smell something not very pleasant, some sort of animal excrement. I asked the guide what it was and surely enough it was elephant dung. He gave me a tour around the park and showed me some of the prettiest waterfalls and most exquisite animals I have ever seen, such as the pygmy hippo which is currently going extinct which is really sad. And I also saw some of the 11 different types of monkey's living there. It made thinks of how many hidden wonders the world still has, such as this one. The experience made me really think of how beautiful the world is and that it is unfortunate that many people don't get to visit these magical places. We traveled past many of the great lakes, we even got to swim in them which was really nice. The water was a bright blue color showing the pureness of it. We continued through the trek passing by vast savannah's filled with all kinds of African wildlife such as elephants lion's and giraffes.
The guide even let us come really close to the antelopes. The only issue with the time in the park is that it's really hot and humid, if you are not prepared to experience extreme heat and sunburns I wouldn't recommend going on this adventure. After the savannah we came across many big hills filled with endangered types of fauna and flora. I stopped and asked the guide if we could pick some of the flowers to smell. He told me we couldn't because this was a nature reserve and that they didn't want people to be tampering with nature, but even without sniffing them from close up you could really smell the lovely scent of typical garden flowers. We walked down a long road which lead us all the way back to the beginning of the trek.
I took some picture while I was one it and wanted to share them with you guys.
That was was going to the park by boat.
That was no a photo I took but rather a visual guide to know where it is.
That is a picture of one of the waterfalls.
In short the trek was around 3 hours long up hills and down streams. We also caught some river fish and ate that for lunch which a truly gratifying experience.
This park is one of the last major remnants of the primary tropical forest of West Africa. It was inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 1982 due to the breadth of its flora and fauna. The Tai Forest reserve was created in 1926 and promoted to National Park status in 1972. It was recognized as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1978 and added to the list of Natural World Heritage Sites in 1982.
I thought that this park was a very fun experience for adventurers like me or anyone who just wants to have a nice time enjoying the park. This park could also be a good time for some kids, very beautiful animals and just a generally good time if you are with friends or family.

Advertisement - story continues below
FBI Director James Comey is out, and the search for his replacement has already begun.
In the interim, FBI acting director Andrew McCabe will be leading the nation's leading law enforcement agency.
McCabe's strong ties to staunch Clinton ally Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe has some raising their eyebrows.
Advertisement - story continues below
Prior to his promotion to deputy FBI director under Comey, McCabe's wife, Jill, accepted $467,500 from the Virginia governor's political action committee to support her 2015 state Senate race.
The Virginia Democratic Party also donated over $200,000 to Jill McCabe's campaign.
Jill McCabe lost her election to the Republican incumbent.
Advertisement - story continues below
McCabe was involved in the FBI's investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server during her tenure as secretary of state when it was discovered his wife was financially supported by a Clinton ally.
The discovery led to inquiries McCabe should have recused himself from the email investigation due to his family ties to the Clinton's.
"We've never had a thing like this in the history of this country," then-nominee Donald Trump said in a late October rally after McCabe's family connections to the Clinton's were unearthed by the Wall Street Journal.
'Clinton Ally Aided Campaign of FBI Official's Wife' https://t.co/U0w99gfyKE
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 24, 2016
Advertisement - story continues below
Then-RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said the Virginia governor's donation to McCabe's wife looked like a "down payment" to influence the FBI's investigation.
"Given all we know about how the corrupt Clinton machine operates, it's hard not to see this as anything other than a down payment to influence the FBI's criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server," Priebus said.
The Justice Department's inspector general announced earlier this year it was conducting an investigation into the FBI's handling of the Clinton email probe.
Included in the inspector general's points of inquiry is whether McCabe should have recused himself from the email investigation due to his family's ties to the Clintons.
On March 28, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, wrote a letter to Comey expressing his concerns about McCabe's appearance of a partisan conflict of interest in favor of Clinton.
"These circumstances undermine public confidence in the FBI's impartiality … FBI's senior leadership should never have allowed that appearance of a conflict to undermine the Bureau's important work. … If Mr. McCabe failed to avoid the appearance of a partisan conflict of interest in favor of Mrs. Clinton during the presidential election, then any participation in this inquiry creates the exact same appearance of a partisan conflict of interest against Mr. Trump," Grassley wrote.

As I mentioned in My Soundcloud Experiment, I've been testing the waters to know which genre I should move forward with in my songwriting pursuits. Maybe I should have known that when Nashville became my favorite TV show, I was a goner. Come on – "3 Chords and the Truth" – you betcha! Besides, country music and I go way back.
Now after trying out different genres, Black Coffee ala Lacy J. Dalton country-style came out the clear winner. And now I'm working on my version of High-Powered Love – I found the music in the key of F#, which suits me much better than Emmylou Harris' version. But, of course, this is 90s country and it's nothing like what they're playing now. Sigh!
But, wow, I remember the first time I saw this video and heard this song – I'd just taken the first step toward my second chance. I miss those days – I also miss my hair and my jeans and that whole 90s look – lol! Maybe I can recapture it via Emmylou.

Name: Cydni Pullman
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Grade: 10th
Extra Curricular Activity: Field Hockey, Drama Club, School Newspaper, National Honors Society
School: Glenwood Academy (Westchester New York)
Appearance: Cydni is 5'3" with short dirty blonde hair (which is always pulled back into a ponytail), and light brown eyes. She's very petite (weighing only 108 pounds) and is flatchested. She's used to being picked on because of her boyish figure and big ears. Cydni has a habit of biting her nails and they are usually very short. She doesn't focus much on her appearance and can therefore almost always be found in jeans and a t-shirt. She never wears make-up and on most mornings even forgets to brush her hair.
Biography: Cydni has never been the most attractive girl in school. She's always been known as a bit of a geek because she never parties and can almost always be found in the library during her free periods at school. She's always felt insecure about her appearance and tried to compensate for it with her intelligence. She is very focused on getting into an Ivy League University and doesn't like to be distracted from her goals. She is overall a very intense person and has very few close friends. She can be rather obnoxious at times and is usually completely comfortable telling people exactly how she feels. She leads an average life with her mother, father, and two little sisters (Megan, 14; and Kiki, 10) in a home in the suburbs. She has always been secretly jealous of her younger sister (Megan) because she is attractive (in Cydni's mind) and very popular at school.
Other: She brought with her on the trip a duffel bag full of clothing and books, a couple of bags of potato chips, a small bottle of Coca-Cola, and the special nail polish that's supposed to help you stop biting your nails. Number: G22
As written by batspleenfriend. No edits have been made to the author's original work.
Designated Weapon: Saber
Conclusions: I have a feeling that G22 will get creative in trying to win. Either that, or she'll be driven insane by her want to go to a great school...
Evaluations Edit
Kills: None
Killed by: Angharad Davies
Collected Weapons: Saber (issued weapon, to Angharad Davies)
Allies: Vince Noir
Enemies: Angharad Davies
Mid-game evaluation: Cydni's game began in the woods, where upon awakening she hid in the bushes and watched an encounter between Dorian Greywood and Vince Noir unfold. Throughout the conflict, Cydni tried to stay hidden, but was discovered when Dorian fell to the ground, exposing her whereabouts. In her haste, she picked up the boy's glasses as a form of defense. After Vince searched Dorian's pack to reveal that he had only been issued razor blades as weapons, Cydni reluctantly returned the boy's glasses to him. With that, Dorian made a hasty retreat, leaving Vince and Cydni alone. After a few moments of tense conversation, a shaky alliance was formed. The duo had quite a hard time finding a suitable location, though Vince finally decided on the bathroom facility, virtually leaving Cydni in the dust at that point.
Cydni did eventually head to the bathroom facility herself, but who she encountered there certainly wasn't Vince Noir. She watched from the bushes as Angharad Davies engaged herself in a conversation with Peri Barclay, finally deciding on a course of action and charging at Angharad in the heat of the moment. Angharad was much faster than she'd expected, however, and Cydni was caught offguard when she retaliated. This enabled Angharad to retrieve the saber from the girl and behead her with her own weapon before Cydni fully realized what was happening.
End-game evaluation: Not sure what happened to this girl between her time in the woods and her trip to the bathroom facility, but apparently she got a little too hotheaded. She underestimated her opponent, and she lost her head just a little bit (haha, get it? Lost her head! I crack myself up!).
Memorable Quote(s): "Why should I give them back? They'll only help your aim." - to Dorian Greywood after retrieving his glasses
"Were you dropped on your head as a child?" - to Vince Noir in the woods
"Listen, someone is going to hear you and they. are. going. to. shoot. us." - to Vince Noir, in an attempt to get him to stop singing

Despite recent reports saying otherwise, a new study states that children with autism actually have normal levels of oxytocin in their blood system. Oxytocin, a hormone that affects social functioning, was found to be of similar levels among both children with autism, and children without.
For years, many suspected that low levels of oxytocin were a contributing factor in autism development. However, research in the past has only seen mixed results in trying to establish this link. In this new study, the largest-ever to test the connection, the range of blood oxytocin levels was in the same range as that of two comparison groups (which consisted of children with autistic siblings, and children without autistic siblings).
Dr. Karen Parker, along with her colleagues at Stanford University School of Medicine, found that higher oxytocin levels were linked to better social functioning in all three of the groups. Although all children with autism have some type of social deficit, the study found that deficits were worst in those with the lowest blood oxytocin. In the comparison groups, the social skills also fell in a range that correlated to oxytocin levels. Dr. Parker states, "Oxytocin appears to be a universal regulator of social functioning in humans." She continues, "That encompasses both typically developing children as well as those with severe social deficits we see in children with autism".
Dr. Antonio Hardan, senior author of the study and professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences, states, "It didn't matter if you were a typically developing child, a sibling or an individual with autism: your social ability was related to a certain extent to your oxytocin levels, which is very different from what people have speculated." In addition to examining blood oxytocin levels, they examined small variations in gene coding for the oxytocin receptors. These receptor variants are correlated to higher levels of social ability. "Oxytocin is a vulnerability factor that has to be accounted for, but it's not the only thing leading to the development of autism", Dr. Hardan adds.
Dr. Eric Hollander, Chairman of the ICare4Autism Advisory Council, Director at the Spectrum Neuroscience and Treatment Institute, and Director of the Autism and Obsessive Compulsive Spectrum Program at Albert Einstein College of Medicine/Montefiore Medical Center, has focused much of his research on the impact of oxytocin, stating, "I think that this is an important area for future development to understand the underlying root cause of ASDs and develop treatments to help manage symptoms." According to Dr. Hollander's research, oxytocin stimulates receptors in the regions of the brains that involve social memory and social affiliation, like the amygdala and the thalamus. Further tests on mice and humans using oxytocin and vasopressin show that gene variations may affect response of these hormones on social memory and social cognition.
According to Dr. Hollander, the effects of oxytocin include improved social cognition, and the improvements can be preserved for a two-week period on a single dose. Furthermore, the findings from the recent study by Stanford show that oxytocin may prove useful in treating a subset of children with autism. The study suggests that some children with autism, such as the ones that have low levels of oxytocin, or those with oxytocin receptor gene variants associated with poor social functioning, can potentially benefit from oxytocin-like drugs.

On February 10, 2014, the US Treasury Department (Treasury) released Final Regulations (Regulations) with respect to the Shared Responsibility provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). The Shared Responsibility provisions of the ACA are also known as the "play-or-pay" requirements. At the same time, Treasury also released a fact sheet, and questions and answers clarifying key provisions of the play-or-pay rules.
The play-or-pay rules were originally supposed to go into effect on January 1, 2014, but the White House and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) (Notice 2013-45) delayed enforcement of play-or-pay until January 1, 2015. When play-or-pay enforcement was delayed, the impact on certain transition relief that applied for 2014 was unclear. The Regulations establish a further delay and clarify aspects of the previously released proposed regulations and guidance, including the impact on certain transition relief.
The Insurance Group (TIG) discussed the Regulations with Peter Marathas, a partner at the nationally prominent law firm Proskauer Rose and the head of its Health Care Reform Task Force. Mr. Marathas and Proskauer provide compliance support to TIG on all benefits matters, including the ACA.
| Before we discuss the Regulations, can you give us an overview of who is and who is not generally subject to the play-or-pay requirements?
|In general, only employers who employ 50 or more full-time employees (including full-time equivalents) (FTE) in the prior calendar year are considered "applicable large employers" (ALEs) subject to the play-or-pay requirements. An employer is an ALE for a calendar year if it employed an average of at least 50 FTE on the employer's business days during the preceding calendar year. Solely for purposes of determining ALE status (but not for ACA penalty purposes), the hours of service of full-time equivalent employees (e.g., part-time employees) are included in the calculation.Example: During each month of 2015, an employer has 20 full-time employees, each of whom averages 35 hours of service per week, and 40 part-time employees, each of whom averages 90 hours of service per month. In this example, each of the 20 employees who average 35 hours of service per week count as one full-time employee for each month. To determine the average number of full-time equivalent employees for each month, take the total hours of service of the part-time employees (up to 120 hours of service per employee) and divide by 120. The result is that the employer has 30 full-time equivalent employees each month (40 × 90 ÷ 120 = 30). By adding the two categories of employees together, the employer would have 50 FTE. Therefore, the employer is an applicable large employer for 2016.
|Please elaborate on the impact for certain small employers.
|Among the big news in the Regulations, is that for employers with between 50 and 99 FTE, the implementation date of the play-or-pay rules has been delayed until 2016. To be eligible for the delay, those employers with between 50 and 99 FTE cannot reduce headcount to qualify for the delay and they must generally maintain the same benefits that were in place on February 9, 2014.These employers will have until the start of their 2016 plan year to comply as long as they haven't changed their plan year after February 9, 2014 to begin at a later date. This is welcome relief for smaller employers.
|When the play-or-pay rules were effective for 2014, the IRS permitted small employers to count FTE over a shorter period of time. Is that relief included in the Regulations?
|Yes, it is. To determine whether an employer is an ALE for 2015, an employer can choose any period of at least six consecutive months during 2014 to determine its average number of FTE.
|What about non-calendar year plans? When do they have to comply?
|The Regulations permit employers with non-calendar year plans to use the first day of the plan year starting on or after January 1, 2015 as their start date for compliance with the play-or-pay rules, as long as certain conditions are met. To qualify, one or more of the following three conditions must be met (the first item below provides relief only to a subset of employees, whereas the other two provide relief to all employees of a qualifying employer):
This transition relief permits employers sponsoring qualifying non-calendar year plans some additional time to get ready for compliance.
|Can you briefly provide an overview of the play-or-pay rules that will apply to ALE's?
|There are two potential penalties: the "no insurance" penalty and the "unaffordable insurance" penalty. Here are the general rules for 2015 and after:An applicable large employer will be liable for the play-or-pay penalty if:
The $2,000 or $3,000 penalties are non-deductible and they are assessed on a monthly basis (i.e., 1/12th of $2,000 or $3,000, as applicable, per month). The penalty is assessed on an EIN basis.
|Can you explain how the Regulations relaxed the "95% rule"?
|To permit ALEs an opportunity to address coverage and other issues, the Regulations reduce the 95% rule to 70% for 2015 only.This relaxation of the no-insurance percentage provides all employers subject to the play-or-pay rules breathing room in 2014 and 2015 to address coverage and certain employment practices, including independent contractor issues, which we can discuss in the future.
|What do the Regulations say about the reduction in 30 rule?
|As noted above in question 5, the "reduction factor" for the no-insurance penalty is increased to 80 from 30 for 2015. (It will return to 30 in 2016.) This will mean that more "smaller" employers will avoid the no insurance penalty. This is significant. Consider this example:Sara's Crab Shop employs, on average, 133 FTE every month during 2014. Sara's correctly assumes that because they had, on average, 100 or more FTE in 2014, they are subject to play-or-pay for 2015. But, only 79 of Sara's employees are actual full-time employees. The remaining 54 FTE are part time employees.
If Sara's fails to offer insurance and one of its full-time employees receives subsidized coverage on the exchange or marketplace, however, the penalty that will be assessed against Sara's is ZERO. Why? Because the reduction factor (80 for 2015) exceeds Sara's total number of full-time employees (79). As long as Sara's continues to employ less than 80 full-time employees, they will not be subject to any play-or-pay penalties in 2015.
Note that when the reduction factor returns to 30 in 2016, Sara's would be subjected to a penalty equal to $98,000 ((79 – 30) X $2,000).
|How soon after a smaller employer becomes an ALE does the employer have to comply with the play-or-pay requirements?
|The Regulations provide a "grace period" for employers who newly determine that they are ALEs. In the first year in which an employer becomes an ALE, with respect to any full-time employee to whom the employer did not offer insurance coverage, the employer will not be assessed either the no-insurance or the no affordable insurance penalty for January, February and March of the first year in which the employer is an applicable large employer, as long as the full-time employee (and his or her children) is offered coverage (or affordable coverage) by April 1. If coverage is not offered by April 1, the appropriate penalty will apply for the first three months of the year.
|Beginning with the first day of the first plan year starting on or after January 1, 2014, all employers must offer insurance coverage to eligible full-time employees within 90 days of their first being eligible. Some employers have "orientation periods" during which they and the employee evaluate whether the position is a good fit. Have the regulators addressed this?
|Correct, under the ACA coverage must be offered within the first 90 days after a person is hired or becomes eligible for insurance (if later). Of course, some states have shortened this period for insured plans, like California, which establishes a 60 day limit. Although not included in the final regulations, the regulators released proposed regulations after the final regulations in which they proposed a rule that would permit employers to use up to a month (minus a day) of employment as an orientation period. The 90 day waiting period could then start after the end of that orientation period. Note that employers using an orientation period should clearly state this requirement in their summary plan description and plan document.
|I note the rule requires that coverage be offered to 95% (70% in 2015) to all full-time employees and their children. A couple of questions here: (i) who are considered to be children and (ii) if an employer doesn't offer coverage for children now in 2014 will they have to start offering coverage for children in 2015?
|Generally, under the ACA, employers must offer coverage to children up to age 26, regardless of whether they depend on their parent or parents for support, live with their parents or have another job that offers insurance. For purposes of the play-or-pay mandate, the term "children" includes all biological children, adopted children and children placed for adoption. According to the final regulations, the term does not include either foster children or step-children. Employers that want to exclude coverage for foster children and/or step-children must include that exclusion in their plan document and summary plan description. Since there is no ready definition of what a "step-child" is or is not, care should be taken in drafting a definition for the term.Federal law does not require that "spouses" be offered coverage, but for insured plans, employers should check state law to see if state law requires that coverage.
Under the final regulations, an employer that takes steps during its 2015 plan year toward offering coverage to children will not be subject to the play-or-pay penalties solely because it fails to offer coverage to children in the 2015 plan year.
This transition relief applies to employers for the 2015 as long as they did not offer coverage to children in either the 2013 or the 2014 plan year.
|How does an employer know if it offers affordable coverage?
|If an employee's share of the premium for employer-provided individual only coverage would cost the employee more than 9.5% of his/her annual household income, the coverage is not considered affordable for that employee.
|Household income? How is an employer supposed to know what household income is?
|Fortunately, they don't. The final regulations maintain the three safe-harbors that employers may use instead of "household income" to determine whether coverage is affordable. These three affordability safe harbors are
|Are employers required to use these safe harbors? Can they use different safe harbors for different employee? How do they each work?
|These safe harbors are all optional. An employer can use one or more of the safe harbors for all of its employees or for any reasonable category of employees, as long as it does so on a uniform and consistent basis for all employees in a category.The Form W-2 Wages Safe Harbor generally is based on the amount of wages paid to the employee that are reported in Box 1 of that employee's Form W-2. Coverage is affordable under the W-2 Safe Harbor if the employee's cost for individual coverage does not exceed 9.5% of his Box 1 W-2 wages for the current year. Remember that this is gross income reduced by pre-tax payments for health insurance and pre-tax contributions to retirement plans, cafeteria plans and similar arrangements, so the number might be lower than an employer might anticipate.
The Rate of Pay Safe Harbor generally is based on the employee's rate of pay at the beginning of the coverage period, with adjustments permitted, for an hourly employee, if the rate of pay is decreased (but not if the rate of pay is increased). Using the Rate of Pay Safe Harbor, the employer determines whether the monthly cost of individual coverage for the lowest cost minimum value plan exceeds 9.5% of the employee's hourly rate multiplied by 130.
The Federal Poverty Line Safe Harbor generally treats coverage as affordable if the employee contribution for individual coverage at the lowest cost plan reimbursing at a 60% minimum value for the year does not exceed 9.5% of the federal poverty line for a single individual for the applicable calendar year.
|How does an employer know if a plan reimburses at a level of at least 60% value?
|A plan provides minimum value if it covers at least 60 percent of the total allowed cost of benefits that are expected to be incurred under the plan. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the IRS have produced a minimum value calculator. By entering certain information about the plan, such as deductibles and co-pays, into the calculator employers can get a determination as to whether the plan provides minimum value.
The Insurance Group thanks Peter Marathas for joining us for this discussion.

Experts Tips for The Average Joe
What Not to Do When Hiring an In Home Caregiver
It's our responsibility to make sure that our parents and grandparents get the care and attention they need, especially when they start to give in to the symptoms of old age and disease. Sadly, children and grandchildren don't always have the time to spare to personally care for their elderly loved ones because of their own responsibilities and obligations. The solution that many have found is to hire an in home caregiver. There are a few considerations that you need to make however before you make that hire. Your elderly loved one deserves someone who won't take the job for granted, or who isn't prepared to accomplish the duties and tasks involved.
Learn more about the common mistakes made when hiring in home caregivers so you don't fall into the same trap.
1. Skipping the Background Check – It pays to keep in mind that there are a lot of people out there who are looking for an easy way out of joblessness by taking on work opportunities that seem easy and effortless. It's not impossible for these people to try their luck at applying for the job and pretend like they have the chops to get it done right. With this in mind, it's ideal that you perform the necessary background checks to make sure that those applying for the position are actually capable of doing a good job. Request a copy of all the necessary documents, as well as identification details and cards to keep for future reference.
2. Not Providing a Contract – Many of those who hire in home caregivers believe that all they need to do is come to a verbal agreement, but that might not be the best idea. The fact is, when you hire an in home caregiver, you're entering an employee-employer relationship and so it would be wise to prepare a contract. Stating the terms and conditions of the job as well as the other details such as off days, salary, incentives, and penalties are essential should there be any disagreements or problems in the future. This will prevent problems in case of legal issues.
The Essentials of Caregivers – 101
3. Not Scheduling an Interview – More than just the contract and credentials, you should get to know your new in home caregiver more. If you sense any irritability, impatience, or anger issues, seek a different hire. Remember, it's not easy to care for a sick person, and if the in home caregiver you hired doesn't have the patience for it, they might end up doing harmful things to your loved one.5 Takeaways That I Learned About Resources

Singapore / Grant Smith: Crude oil fell for a second day on Wednesday on speculation petrol demand in Asia and the US may slow after near-record prices reduced consumption. Petrol use has slipped for 14 straight weeks, MasterCard Inc. reported on Tuesday.
"The key consideration in the market this week has been demand destruction," said Christopher Bellew, senior broker at Bache Commodities Ltd in London.
Crude oil for September delivery fell as much as 79 cents, or 0.7%, to $121.40 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. On Tuesday, it fell $2.54, or 2%, to $122.19 a barrel, the lowest close since 6 May. Prices have dropped more than $25 a barrel, or 17%, from their 11 July record.
India, Vietnam and Malaysia have raised prices of diesel and petrol in the past two months to cut government expenditure.

The 1995 FTO was only produced for Japan, but due to public demand and the growth of importers around the world, it was in many other countries soon after. It had an excellent combination of a revvy engine, brilliant front-wheel drive handling and a luxurious interior in a shapely coupe. The front suspension had MacPherson struts and lower wishbones while the rear was more complex with transverse upper and lower links, longitudinal links and an anti-roll bar. The brakes were very effective, being discs all around which required very little effort to pull the car's speed down rapidly. Though it came with a 110ci (1.8-liter) four-cylinder in base form, the real performer was the MIVEC (Mitsubishi Induction Valve Electronic Control) 122ci (2-liter) V6, which beyond 5,600rpm would use a more radical camshaft profile for more power up to the 8,200rpm redline.

- Feb 13, 2008Thanks Dean,
The total cav numbers in Carman, OR, etc., are good but unit numbers
are lacking. It is unlikely I can research unit numbers at NARA so I
might have to come up with some estimates like Harsh did in STS page
I have the CW Equipage book on the way so I can reference weapons.
Cannon types/numbers are around but as you point out are incomplete
in some areas but I will use Trout, "Galloping Thunder" and
Johnson, "Artillery Hell" as follows: Trout, 8. At the Battle of
Antietam on 17 September, only Pelham's Battery was engaged with two,
three inch ordnance rifles; one, twelve pound Napoleon, and five
unidentified guns. It abandoned its howitzers for Ordnance rifles
captured on 27 August 1862 at Manassas Junction. Hart's Battery had
four, twelve pound Blakeley guns and Chew's Battery had two or three,
three inch Ordnance rifles, one Blakely Rifle and one, twelve pound
smoothbore howitzer, Curt Johnson and Richard C. Anderson, Jr.,
Artillery Hell: The Employment of Artillery at Antietam, (College
Station, TX: Texas A&M University Press, 1995), 100-101. Union horse
artillery, Second U. S. Battery A, had six, twelve pound smooth bore
Napoleons, Second U. S. Batteries B and L had four, twelve pound
smooth bore Napoleons, and Battery M of the Second had six, three
inch Ordnance rifles. Batteries C and G of the Third U. S. Artillery
had six, three inch Ordnance rifles, Johnson, 35.
