Buildings that have flooded repeatedly — so-called repetitive loss properties — are an indication that buildings in flood zones are too low and, often, were built before communities considered allowing for flooding in building requirements.
New Jersey ranks fourth nationally for the amount of flood insurance payouts going to these properties, FEMA records show.
Many of the repeatedly flooded New Jersey properties are in Bergen and Union counties, victims of frequent river flooding, FEMA records show. In some municipalities, those repeated losses have totaled more than $40 million.
But in shore towns, repeated losses in Atlantic City, Ocean City, the Wildwoods, Toms River, Sea Bright and Monmouth Beach all totaled more than $10 million each since 1978.
Of shore municipalities, Ocean City has had the highest amount of insurance payouts for properties flooded repeatedly — more than $19 million since 1978, FEMA records show.

Global printer, MFP market to grow by 8 per cent this year
Worldwide printer,
copiers and multifunction products (MFP) shipments are projected to
surpass 124.7 million units in 2005, a 7.8 per cent increase from 2004
shipments, according to IT consultancy Gartner Inc.
Gartner said the global revenue for these products is forecast to
surpass $59.7 billion (U.S.), up 4.5 per cent from last year. But is it
still wishful thinking on behalf of printer OEMs that all companies are
moving en masse towards color printing?
According to Peter Grant, research vice president in Gartner's digital
document and imaging group in Stamford, Conn., it's a mixed story. Some
companies say 'no' to color printers in the office, while others adopt
it on an as need basis.
"If color laser printers can provide monochrome printer performance
(speed and cost per print) then more businesses will standardize on a
high-speed workgroup color printer that provides all the monochrome
without a cost penalty and provide great business color output," he
Manufacturers are focused on transitioning their customers from
monochrome devices to color. The color laser printer market and the
color laser MFP segments will be the high growth areas, official said.
The consumer has already gone color for the most part due to
inexpensive ink jet printers and all-in-ones being color devices.
Monochrome laser printers are still the mainstay in the office. Only
six per cent of the pages printed in the office are color. Mono still
has legs, he said.
"Vendors need a broad family of color products to replace the large
installed base of monochrome printers, copiers and MFPs," he said. "The
monochrome to color transition will be a significant event, as large
vendors fight to keep their installed base, while other vendors look to
grow their business with color offerings.
"There has been and will continue to be a battle between printer
vendors and copier vendors fighting for pages in the office. HP has
already tried to alter the copier game with their LaserJet 4345mpf that
is getting placed as a printer replacement but can print, copy and scan
for about a third of the price of a similar speed copier."
In the consumer segment, digital photography is driving demand for color devices.
"Higher resolution cameras, more sophisticated users, and the desire to
print in the home have many manufacturers improving their product
offerings to provide easier to use, faster photo printers, and lower
prices," he said. "Consumers have adopted color (ink jet) and some have
gone back to low end mono laser printers to save on supplies costs. A
new segment called A4 color MFP in the 1-10 page per minute range is
emerging and could take ink jet customers away.
"Many users prefer the look of color laser for business documents
versus color ink jet. Color laser makes them look like a big business;
more professional."
Worldwide sales of printer, copiers and MFPs will continue steady
growth through 2009. By the end of 2009, global shipments are expected
to surpass 148.9 million units, while revenue will exceed $60.7
billion, officials said.

Hi Marcus,
Yes, that's R1C1 notation.
If you prefer you can convert:
Sheet1.Range("B1").FormulaR1C1 = "=LEFT(RC[-1],3)"
Sheet1.Range("B1").Formula = "=LEFT(A1,3)"
You may find it useful, especially with more complex formulae, to become familiar with the ConvertFormula Method. This will do the conversion for you.
For example, in the Immediate Window enter:
debug.print Application.ConvertFormula( formula:="=LEFT(RC[-1],3)", _
fromReferenceStyle:=xlR1C1, toReferenceStyle:=xlA1)
and then press <Return>
You will be presented with : =LEFT(A1,3)

Holden Beach | Some of Ouida Hewett's ancestors rest not-so-peacefully beneath a mobile home in a dirt-road subdivision called Holiday Haven.
No one seems to know why the mobile home was allowed to be placed on top of more than a dozen graves, but it makes it difficult for Hewett to pay her respects and preserve a family heritage that she has researched and worked hard to learn about.
This cemetery is one of many that was unknown and not recorded at the Brunswick County Register of Deeds or listed on the county's planning and zoning maps, where property records are checked against any building permit applications.
State law requires the county to provide a list of public and abandoned cemeteries, but some of the county's more than 400 cemeteries were never recorded or were forgotten as land ownership changed.
With developers flocking to the nation's 14th-fastest growing county, Brunswick has launched an effort to make sure these overlooked cemeteries won't end up buried themselves beneath homes or parking lots.
The county's geographic information systems department recently started to digitally map all cemeteries in Brunswick County, said John Hobgood, a GIS specialist.
'The plan was to get all cemeteries listed and get the word out there to get people to come forward,' he said.
One-woman effort
Before, the county relied on records kept on paper and approximate locations one woman volunteered to collect.
Gwen Causey, a member of the Brunswick County Historical Society, conducted a survey in the 1980s of the county's cemeteries.
She and her mother created a map for the historical society and the county's use.
Causey remains interested in the county's cemeteries today. She receives notices about each county rezoning request and looks in her personal records to see if any cemeteries are located on parcels where developments are proposed.
If a cemetery is on the property, Causey will talk to the developer and show up at the county's public hearings to make sure the cemeteries aren't destroyed.
It is a felony to knowingly and willingly disturb, remove or destroy grave sites or human remains.
'In my opinion, placing a trailer on top of a grave would be desecrating a grave,' Assistant County Attorney Jana Berg said. The question is whether the developer knew of the Hewett family graveyard.
To make sure developers are aware of such sites in the future, the county is asking for help documenting the cemeteries so they can be more efficiently matched up to parcel information when developers request building permits.
'The basic goal is to let people know where cemeteries are, to prevent them from being lost for historical purposes and to preserve cemeteries,' Hobgood said.
�Disgraceful' situation
A county building permit was issued in 1995 to the Cline family for the lot at 1193 Kinston St., where Hewett said her ancestors Joseph Hewett Sr., who died in 1795, and Joseph Hewett Jr., who died in 1812, are buried along with their wives and families.
Hewett said she remembered visiting the graves at the Joseph Hewett Cemetery, as she calls it, in the early 1940s when she would gather palmetto stems from her uncle's field to make brooms.
To prove her case, Hewett enlisted the help of the Brunswick Search and Rescue Team.
On a September morning this year, the search and rescue dogs identified 19 possible graves, most of them underneath the mobile home and a shed beside it.
Hewett's efforts to preserve the family cemetery date back to the 1990s, when she and other Hewett descendants signed a petition requesting that the cemetery be declared a historic landmark and that a historic marker be erected. Brunswick County Sheriff Ronald Hewett served as the chairman of the Joseph Hewett Gravesite Preservation Committee and spearheaded the effort.
Hewett said she discussed the situation with planners, surveyors and the district attorney but found no answers as to why a mobile home was allowed to be placed
'What has been done is without a doubt disgraceful and reprehensible. Some acts appear to even be criminal,' Brunswick County District Attorney Rex Gore
said about the cemetery in a letter dated Sept. 24.
Gore told Hewett that he reviewed a map of the Holiday Haven subdivision and did not see a recorded cemetery on the parcel, which is probably why the building
was allowed.
He couldn't prosecute anyone because he did not have proof that someone 'knowingly and willingly' disturbed the graves, he said.
'I am not confident that the criminal laws provide a mechanism by which we can accomplish our ultimate goal of having all the graves located and the cemetery restored,' Gore said. 'My research does not give me confidence that you can accomplish that even through civil actions.'
Hewett said she does not want to seek criminal action against the property owners, the Cline family, because they have said they were unaware the graves existed when they purchased the property.
A few tumbled-over stone slabs and remains of a brick wall are near the mobile home, but there are no inscriptions or other clear signs that they are part of a cemetery.
'We proved it to them,' Hewett said. 'They were really disturbed about it.'
Legal options
At the advice of the assistant county attorney, Hewett contacted a personal attorney to decide what steps to take to preserve the family cemetery. Hewett said she and her attorney have discussed her options but have not yet taken any actions.
Hewett said she did not want to move any of the graves, which is one option available.
Berg said Hewett also could petition to have the mobile homeremoved.
'Landowners have to allow heirs reasonable access to a grave,' Berg said.
'The next of kin cannot visit or pay respects to those buried there with a trailer sitting on top,' she said.
Hewett said the property owners have agreed to allow her to visit the two graves beside the home, which are barely marked by broken tombstones and a brick wall.
But a judge will have to determine how Hewett can obtain access and preserve the graves under the mobile home.
Berg said situations like Hewett's haven't come up too often in the past, but it is not unheard of.
Graves and human remains were unearthed in October at a construction site near Belville Elementary School.
'I suppose it's because of the amount of development going on in the county,' she said.
Berg said developers should contact a state archaeologist or county coroner if they come across grave sites.
The developers then must locate the next of kin to the deceased and decide what to do about the graves.
If the next of kin agrees to moving the graves, the developer must pay for and provide land for the relocation and pay up to $200 for a ceremony.
'If they initiate this, it's incumbent upon them to do everything associated with removing and relocating the graves,' Berg said.
County Planning Director Leslie Bell said he hopes migrating to a digital mapping system will help prevent future slip-ups.
A little more than 400 cemeteries have been recorded on the county's digital map, which is available online.
But GIS specialists say they still don't have all of Brunswick County's cemeteries recorded. Without that documentation, building permit applications could be approved if a cemetery isn't noted on the property and in the county's digital system.
'What happens is, without it being in there, there's no way to know,' Bell said.

Two numerical methods, which do not bring contrived chaos into the solution, are proposed for the solution of the Riccati (logistic) equation. Though implicit in nature, with the resulting improvements in stability, the methods are applied explicitly. When extended to the numerical solution of Fisher's equation, in which the quadratic polynomial representing the derivative in the Riccati equation appears as the reaction term, the solution is found by solving a linear system of algebraic equations at each time step, as opposed to solving a nonlinear system which frequently happens when solving nonlinear partial differential equations. The approaches adopted are extended to an ordinary differential equation in which the derivative is expressed as a cubic polynomial in the dependent variable. The solution of this initial-value problem is not available in closed form for finite values of the independent variable t. Under the conditions stated, numerical solutions are seen to converge to the correct steady-state solution. A nonlinear partial differential equation which governs the conduction of electrical impulses along a nerve axon and which has the aforementioned cubic polynomial as its reaction term, is solved by applying the numerical methods developed for solving the ordinary differential equation. The solution to this nonlinear reaction-diffusion equation is determined by solving a linear algebraic system at each time step.

MARK COLVIN: There's been further fallout from yesterday morning's story in the Australian about the Melbourne counter-terrorism operation. Victoria's police chief has again lambasted the paper over its decision to print the details of the raids.
Commissioner Simon Overland said it had threatened the safety of the operation and his officers. Commissioner Overland says he's determined to get to the bottom of where the leak came from and he warned that the paper's source could be jailed for unlawfully releasing information.
The Australian newspaper has repeatedly said that the story was not publicly available for sale until after the raids. And the newspaper's editor has flatly rejected claims that its decision to print the story jeopardised the operation or police.
In Melbourne, Emily Bourke.
EMILY BOURKE: Victoria's Office of Police Integrity is investigating but a day and a half after the raids the state's police chief is still fuming over the early morning publication of the counter-terrorism operation.
SIMON OVERLAND: The fact is a leak has occurred; it has to have come from a law-enforcement official and I'm determined to do my best to get to the bottom of it
EMILY BOURKE: Simon Overland is standing by his claim that The Australian newspaper was available well before the raids; and that, he says, posed an unacceptable risk to his officers.
SIMON OVERLAND: I have a law-enforcement officer who bought the paper at 1.30am yesterday morning. I have advice that the paper was delivered to the AFP headquarters at 2am yesterday morning. I have confirmed that the operation centre had the paper at 3am yesterday morning and I understand a newsagent has contacted a commercial radio station today, to say he had the paper at 1.30am.
Now, the other point I want to make and this is very important, the paper is printed here in Melbourne. It's then been distributed. So we've had truck drivers involved in moving the paper around the city, it's then been obviously put at various locations around the city.
I don't know who's involved in printing the paper. I don't know who's involved in the transportation of the paper. I've got no idea who had access to that information from about 1:30am yesterday morning.
That is of real concern to me. That was a real and present risk to the lives of my officers involved in a very sensitive investigation and risky search warrants yesterday morning. It was a risk to all other law-enforcement officers involved in those operations.
REPORTER: Possible punishments for those involved; could they be looking at jail terms and being kicked out of the force?
SIMON OVERLAND: Certainly from our point of view, the offence of unlawfully releasing information carries a jail term.
EMILY BOURKE: For its part The Australian newspaper has issues a statement to PM.
STATEMENT: At no time was anyone from The Australian told of the exact timing of the raids conducted in Melbourne early on Tuesday morning. The Australian agreed to withhold publication of the raids until the latest editions of the newspaper and to keep all references off our internet site.
The Australian honoured that agreement absolutely and the AFP acknowledges that. The Australian made the decision not to publish at the request of the AFP, after we were convinced that to do so could endanger the operation.
We subsequently agreed to publish on the day in question only after we were assured by the AFP that it was appropriate to do so.
EMILY BOURKE: Nevertheless the AFP says the leak has been under investigation since last Friday. ASIO, the NSW Police, Victorian police ethical standards and Australian Commission for Law Enforcement Integrity are all involved in a coordinated inquiry.
But the Federal Opposition has some questions of its own about the broader concern of terrorism. The Rudd Government is under fire for not delivering on a promise to produce a counter terrorism white paper; a strategic document that was promised in 2007 with a delivery deadline of late 2008.
RUSSELL TROOD: The only explanation that we can reasonably draw from the failure to produce the white paper, is that the Prime Minister and his Government is completely complacent about the dangers of terrorism.
EMILY BOURKE: Liberal Senator Russell Trood is chairman the Senate Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade References Committee. He says the recent raids in Victoria should prompt the Government to deliver the white paper immediately.
But at the same time, Senator Trood says the Coalition can take credit for equipping Australia's counter-terrorism agencies with the powers to conduct such investigations.
RUSSELL TROOD: That's the result of course of the coalition in government having provided the foundations for the counter-terrorism network in legislation. When the Coalition was in government it provided those agencies with the authority they needed to act swiftly in the face of a danger of this kind�
EMILY BOURKE: So do they really need the white paper?
RUSSELL TROOD: We absolutely do need the white paper because the white paper would effectively bring together both the activities of the internal agencies and focus attention on the dangers as they exist overseas.
So, what it does is to focus comprehensive attention from the whole of government on the nature of the problem, rather than having it dealt with in fractions and by parts of the bureaucracy rather than having a comprehensive approach to the problem.
EMILY BOURKE: The Prime Minister's office says the counter-terrorism white paper will be delivered later this year.
MARK COLVIN: Emily Bourke.

Those Were Record Days
In the wake of the news of CD World's shuttering, a Friend of Unfair Park who swears we've never met but who clearly shares my love of Dallas nostalgia sends along this link to a year-old piece about Dallas's long-lost record stores. Among those name-checked: Hit Records, the Melody Shop, Metamorphosis Records and Oklahoma-started, Dallas-ended Sound Warehouse, shuttered in the mid-1990s by Blockbuster. Which leaves plenty of space for those who recall their beloved Peaches, which Mom preferred for whatever reason; Direct Hit in Exposition Park, which seems to be a description of the neighborhood reeling from the loss of Bar of Soap and Meridian Room in recent days; and the likes of VVV and the Record Gallery. Ah, Record Gallery. --Robert Wilonsky

Geographic location stamps transmitted in tweets can provide enough information for people to deduce where a Twitter user lives and works, say researchers.
The deduction occurs through the clustering of the posting locations. The assemblage provides location patterns that provide a good guess as to where the poster spends most of his or her time.
When that's coupled with other data, such as the time of day, non-scientists recruited for the study simply picked out the homes and workplaces of the tweeters, said researchers from MIT and Oxford University in a press release.
Where the study becomes interesting is that the tweeter opted in to the location sharing. (It's off by default.) And, when turned on by the user, although the tweeted location appears to be a broad-brushed label—such as is provided for posts from a city like Los Angeles, where the label is simply "Los Angeles"—there is an option to share an exact, precise location.
That location, logged by Twitter using highly accurate latitude and longitude coordinates, is openly searchable with an API.
+ Also on Network World: How iOS, Android apps share your data without notifications +
The study researchers presented that kind of data to the participants who were able to use it to figure out where people lived and worked. The places were confirmed by the tweeters submitting their actual addresses to the researchers.
"Many people have this idea that only machine-learning techniques can discover interesting patterns in location data," said Ilaria Liccardi, first author on the paper and a research scientist at MIT's Internet Policy Research Initiative.
No need for high-tech big data skills
However, regular people without specialized big data skills were able to figure out the locations—particularly when the data was mashed onto a map with the time of day.
"When you send location data as a secondary piece of information, it is extremely simple for people with very little technical knowledge to find out where you work or live," Liccardi said.
With five days-worth of data, the participants identified Twitter users' workplaces more than 85 percent of the time.
Interestingly, this public sharing of fine location may well be unintentional. The researchers speculate that it doesn't occur to tweeters that "the man in the street" could figure out where a Twitter user lives or works. Also, because the tweeter thought the data was benign, the person shared it.
The researchers also found that you don't need to be a data scientist to figure things out from big bata.
The "survey shows how people can learn sensitive information from seemingly innocuous facts, and, second, people will easily share information they believe is innocuous," said Latanya Sweeney, professor of government and technology in residence at Harvard, in the press release.
Sweeney was involved in the Personally Identifiable Information 'behind-the-scenes'-sharing by Android apps study that I wrote about in December.
Tweet locations aren't the only geo-tagged social network posts that are drawing attention. Last month I wrote about a study that found a person's "real-world movements" are so unique that people can be distinguished by their patterns. In that study, the scientists said location tracking can be used to differentiate one person from another.
And while we're on the subject, mobile network operators' general harvesting of user data (unrelated to Twitter post locations and the aforementioned studies), called telco data as a service, will be a $79 billion business by 2020.

Twenty Houston-area chefs are set to compete in the 1st Annual Truffle Chef of the Year Challenge this Monday, January 12, 2015.

This coming Monday, there's a one-of-a-kind event -- the first ever in Houston -- that you're not going to want to miss. Titled the Truffle Chef of the Year Challenge, the friendly competition pits 20 of Houston's best chefs against each other in a battle for the best dish featuring freshly shaved black truffles, which are prized for their earthy, sensuous aromas.
This is the first year that the event is being held. Roederer USA, an importer of truffles and the title sponsor, is donating all of the fresh black truffles for the event. The winning chef, determined by a panel of judges in a blind tasting, will receive a prize of one kilogram's worth of fresh black truffles (valued at $1,500).
Fresh black truffles will be donated by Roederer USA.

The exclusive event is limited to 200 attendees. There are two categories of tickets, which include VIP (one hour early admission, plus some take-home gifts) and regular admission. All attendees will have a chance to sample each of the 20 entrants' offerings, as well as a selection of wine tastings. The competing chefs have also donated dinners of four to their respective restaurants, which will be available for bid via silent auction. There will also be a raffle drawing for a black truffle dinner for eight prepared by chef Elizabeth Stone.
Limited numbers of tickets are still available for this amazing event, so get your tickets while you can. Proceeds from the event will be donated to the Les Dames d'Escoffier scholarship program, a worldwide philanthropic society of professional women leaders in the fields of food, fine beverages and hospitality.
Event details: When: Monday, January 12, 2015, 6:30pm-9:30pm Where: The National Tree & Shrub Nursery in the Heights Who: 20 area chefs, Cost: $150 general admission, $200 VIP admission To purchase tickets, visit http://roedererusa.com/houston-truffle-chef-challenge/

|This article is about a/an episode in Chikyuu Sentai Fiveman.
Fumiya's Friendship Announcement (文矢の交際宣言 Fumiya no Kōsai Sengen) is the seventeenth episode of Chikyuu Sentai Fiveman.
Doldora disguises herself as a girl named Midori who is interested in Fumiya as part of a Zone plot to use FiveBlack to break up the team's sibling bond.

- In this episode, Fumiya is dressed in a formal attire while having a date with Midori which happens to be Doldora in disguise.
- Marks the first time the five siblings wore their sleepwear when Fumiya was under mind control from Kumorugin's spider who attempts to kill his older brother Gaku until they restrained him by Ken, Kazumi and Remi before Gaku grabs the spider implanted on Fumiya's head and stabs the spider with a small knife to make Fumiya returned to normal which is later used as an advantage against Doldora who is disguised as Midori to think Fumiya was still in their mind control.
- Gaku, Ken, Fumiya and Remi are now wearing their second outfits while Kazumi wears her third outfit.
- Gaku's second outfit would later becomes as one of the outfits for Eikichi Onizuka, the main protagonist of the manga and anime series, Great Teacher Onizuka. The only difference is their footwear; Gaku wears sneakers from his second oufit while Eikichi often wears brown sandals while wearing the outfit.
- The group takes their motto while wielding their personal weapons.
- Marks the first time, Fiverobo is launched in its complete state rather than being formed by its components. The first is the Bio Robo in Choudenshi Bioman.
- For the third time FiveRed switches with his comrades inside the Fiverobo and this time it's FiveBlack who takes the pilot.
- The five siblings are reminicing of their childhood while riding in a grand carousel as the vision of the grand carousel is seen at the end of the episode.

Shoreham Air Crash Memorial
Series of 11 arches to be created to remember those who died in the Shoreham Airshow Disaster.
The 3rd Brighton Marathon took place on Sunday 15th April. Get the latest.
Thousands of people lined the streets to watch up to 15,000 people take part in one of the UK's biggest marathon events.
A new course record was set at the Brighton Marathon as Kenya's Peter Some knocked more than four minutes off his old time, finishing the race in 2:12:01, race organisers said.
The 21-year-old men's winner said: "I was very happy with the course but I found it very hilly, there were a lot of undulations.
"It is my fourth marathon and second hardest course. The weather was very good, but the wind was too strong.
"I would like to come back to Brighton next year. My goal today was to break the course record.''
A race spokesman added that Belarus's Sviatlana Kouhan slashed five minutes off the previous women's best with 2:29:36.
Danny Miller, 34, from Hove, not only raised money for charity but set a world record for the longest consecutive moonwalk, the dance move synonymous with Michael Jackson, when he hit 9.5 miles about five hours after setting off.
Updating people through Twitter, he said: "Just hit 9.5 miles :) #Brighton @BrightonMarathn #moonwalk Guinness will confirm the World Record for the longest consecutive moonwalk.''
Nick Wood, from Brighton, who has recently recovered from meningitis, ran the race in a suit of armour weighing 100lbs to raise money for the Meningitis Trust and BBA, a Delhi-based charity that rescues children and young girls abducted and forced into factories and domestic service, race organisers said.
The third Brighton Marathon began in Preston Park at 9am and was officially started by Brighton and Hove Albion manager Gus Poyet.
He said: "I am delighted to have been invited to start this year's Brighton Marathon.
"The event has already become an important event in the city's sporting calendar, as well as proving to be a very popular event with runners from the UK and beyond. It will be an honour to start this year's race.''
Commonwealth champion, John Kelai, also of Kenya, was a detached third in 2:12:43 while the inaugural Brighton champion, Mongolia's Serod Batochir, also finished inside the old record with 2:13:01.
Kelai said: "The course was really hilly and it was windy, but I felt very strong and I was pleased with how it went.''
The course took runners out to Ovingdean and back through the city to Shoreham Power Station on the Hove border, before finishing in Madeira Drive, Brighton.
A spokesman for the marathon said the race is expected to make about £5 million for charity and the same amount is spent in Brighton and Hove over the weekend.
Heart spoke to Gus Poyet who started the race, Tim Hutchings who is the race director and Dan Lawson who's running eight marathons in 48 hours.

Hi guys,
I love my boyfriend, and he loves me. However, yesterday, he made a statement that left me quiet unhappy.
We were talking about relationship and friendship. He then said " if we ever break up, you should date X, he is a a nice guy and you guys get along well.
I was astounded. If we ever break up, i wouldn't want to hear who is dating, let alone me hooking him up with someone else.
I was upset but he thought it was not an insensitive comment.
Can you please enlighten me here? Is this normal? People make statements like that? or think about who their girlfriend or boyfriend should date when they will be broken up?
Most Helpful Guy
Well, we haven't talked about breaking up but my girl has told me two women I should date if she dies, lol.00|00|0

yes u are!00|00|0

In the age of big data and analytics, it can be easy to forget that your campaign is ultimately only as good as your creative. Indeed, from a cost to returns ratio, the creative is arguably the most important part of a campaign.
Although more digital advertising companies are appearing on the scene every day, few specialize in creative optimization.
Here's a look at the three types of creative involved in a typical campaign, and why it's important to think about all three types as parts of one larger customer experience.
The First Creative: The Display or SEM Ad Unit
The role of the ad is not only to get the user to click, but also to set an expectation of what the click will lead to.
With respect to SEM units, the job of the first creative is to convince users that the landing page will speak directly to their needs. After all, when users are searching online, they're looking for something very specific.
When it comes to display units, you've got to be sure that each placement on your media plan looks unique. But that's not enough. It's also critical to study your placements and to develop a creative that is appropriate for each environment.
The Second Creative: The Landing Page
The job of the landing page is to fulfill the promise of the first creative. When users click on an ad and find that they haven't arrived on the site they were expecting, the conversion rates are much lower. You need to be sure that the appearance and messaging are consistent from the creative to the landing page.
The search landing page has even more work to do in that it has appeal to the site visitor but also be SEO friendly. It has to include the right keywords but also have quality content and relevant information for driving conversions.
If you aren't seeing the types of conversions you expect, it could be time to look at a landing page optimizer, such as Optimizely.
The Third Creative: The Retargeted Display Unit
If a user clicks on an ad, visits your site, and then leaves without converting, you can now target that user with display ads. This is the third step in the conversion process.
Click-through rates for these targeted units are significantly higher and many retailers now find them crucial for driving their conversions.
As with the first creative, you need to be conscious of the landing page. If your landing page didn't drive the conversion the first time around, it's a good sign you should be making adjustments.
Site retargeting is still a relatively new phenomenon, but if there was any question that it's the future, it was put to rest with the launch of Facebook's FBX ad exchange last September, which brought retargeting to a massive new audience.
What's it All Mean?
In short, it means you can't afford to look at your creative in isolation. You have to think of the entire customer experience. Look at the relationship between your ad unit and the landing page, and also understand when it's time to increase your conversions by targeting users who don't convert after the first visit with display ads.
It also, of course, means watching results very closely and A/B testing at every step of the way.

This is the nicest Fairmond 70' Explorer available and one of the strongest, safest, long range trawlers of her size - regardless of price.
The extraordinary 70' Explorer is engineered and built like a ship by her world-famous European builder. A well maintained one-owner vessel, her bulletproof composite construction is incredibly strong, stable and safe, with redundant systems usually found only on much larger ships. Her luxurious interior provides perfect protection from the elements, complete isolation from sound and vibration, plus thermal insulation for cold climate cruising.
A capable 4,500 mile range globetrotter, she's easily handled without crew - thanks to twin engines, a Portuguese bridge with twin wing stations, electronic controls plus bow and stern thrusters. Features two low-hour Cummins diesels, sea chest mounted Naiad stabilizers, serious deck hardware includes twin 350 lb anchors with chain rode and massive hydraulic windlass.

This expedition trawler was designed by famous Dutch yacht designer Rene van der Velden and has a functional and tastefully designed interior by Joachim Kinder. Design guidelines were maximum safety, extreme stability and straight-forward handling. The result is a very attractive ship that combines classic lines with a sturdy and seaworthy hull shape; blending aesthetics and ergonomics with efficiency and comfort. Built with robust construction throughout, her inviting salon, open galley and comfortable cabins offer an ideal liveaboard environment for extended exploration. Her substantial beam of 20'+ helps create an overly spacious interior for a 70' yacht and encompasses a total of about 1100 square feet. The Portuguese bridge contributes to a dry ride and ease of docking. She is remarkably equipped with modern electronic equipment and special attention was paid to the internal heating system, making long range cold region voyages most comfortable.
Hull construction is composed of exceptionally strong e-glass, which the builder states is immune to dilapidation and nearly bulletproof. It is up to 60 mm thick on the bottom and approx. 40 mm thick on the hull sides. The vessel's increased stability is due in part to the Fairmont's bulbous bow, which is a substantial protruding bulb at the bow of the ship just below the waterline. This design modifies the way water flows around the hull, reducing drag, and thus increasing speed, range and fuel efficiency. Ships with bulbous bows generally have 12% to 15% better fuel efficiency than similar vessels without them. The bulbous bow also increases forward buoyancy, hence reducing pitching of the ship. The moderate draft of only 5' 5" offers almost limitless access to tropical islands, harbors and marinas.

World famous explorer and naval architect, Hans Fairmont, has been setting international quality standards with his yachts for over 30 years. His particular specialty is building strong offshore vessels which have classic designs but incorporate the very latest in available modern technologies. Hans Fairmont: "I take yacht building very seriously. To build quality yachts professionally requires that you derive great joy from it - but you also need stamina. I don't think in terms of trends. Good design is timeless, don't you think? As with some of today's four wheel drive automobiles, my explorer yachts are designed for exploration. They are known for safety, solidity, comfort, and highly functional interior space." We couldn't have said it better.
Fairmont yachts are strong, dependable, timeless, and designed for long range cruising. They offer every imaginable convenience, maximum safety and plenty of power for voyages into uncharted waters. A strong engineering team with decades of experience developed the Explorer 70, which combines aesthetics and ergonomics with efficiency and comfort. The designers were only satisfied when the optimum solution was found for each detail of the interior and for all ergonomic and technical components. The Explorer 70 exhibits extreme stability, safety, and straightforward handling. The end result is a vessel which ensures the owner and his guests can enjoy their grand ocean adventure in complete comfort and safety.

Beyond Tender Loving Care, Nurses Are a Force in Research
Published: August 13, 1991
(Page 2 of 2)
"Practicing nurses and nurse researchers work in radically different worlds and often play a game of mutual avoidance," said Katharyn A. May, associate professor of nursing at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. Yet, she added, the nurse in the clinic is in the best position to know what needs to be studied, and cooperation between clinicians and researchers would certainly help both.
Another major problem is a shortage of scientifically trained nurse researchers. Although both professional nursing organizations and schools of nursing now include research as a main focus, it will be some time before the average nurse is well versed in applying the scientific method. Meanwhile, a significant number of nursing studies result in conclusions of questionable validity.
For example, based on an analysis of 62 published nursing studies, Dr. Denise F. Polit, president of Humanalysis in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., and Robert E. Sherman, then a sociology student at Skidmore College, concluded that the majority of the studies lacked the statistical power to detect real effects, primarily because the studies were too small.
To help correct such shortcomings, every issue of Applied Nursing Research has features that explain such research issues as how to prepare a reliable questionnaire and why randomly selected research subjects are preferable to those who volunteer. Children and Hospitals
Still, many nursing studies highlight areas of care in dire need of attention. For example, a study by nurses at the Midwest Research Institute in Kansas City, Mo., revealed that most of 51 people with diabetes misread their symptoms of high and low blood sugar levels and took actions that either did no good or made their condition worse. The finding emphasized the need for better patient instruction on how to recognize and treat diabetic symptoms.
Some studies have yielded findings that run counter to popular belief or common practice. Contrary to a recent trend in hospitals, an ongoing study in Nashville has shown that not all children benefit from being told what to expect during their hospital stay. The nurse researcher, Dr. Lynda LaMontagne of Vanderbilt University, has identified three types of coping behavior among children. Some, she found, are "avoiders" who feel more in control if they have little information. Other children, dubbed "vigilant" copers, seek as much information as they can get and feel more confident the more they know. Then there are the children called "combination" copers who want to know the details of the surgery but not anything about possible risks and postoperative complications.
Another study challenged the assumption that careful attention to a balanced diet during pregnancy was important to the baby's well-being. In the study, Lauren S. Aaronson and Carol L. Macnee of the University of Michigan School of Nursing collected data about weight gain and daily diet from 510 pregnant women. They found, as expected, that the mother's weight gain largely determined how big the baby was at birth.
But among these generally healthy women the impact of balanced nutrition seemed minimal. This finding can ease the minds of women, who often have trouble consuming a proper balance of nutrients during pregnancy, as well as simplify the task of professionals who care for them.
Nurse researchers are also drawing attention to the "forgotten patient" -- the lay person, usually a relative or close friend, who provides support or ongoing care for someone with a chronic illness. Marilyn T. Oberst, Margaret A. Williams and Barry C. Bjorklund of the University of Wisconsin School of Nursing found in a study of 30 patients with hip fractures who were being cared for by relatives that many of the caregivers became distraught because they believed the patients were not recovering as fast as they should. The researchers urged more thorough counseling of caregivers.
Dr. McCorkle and Dr. Karen Buhler-Wilkerson of the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing studied 233 cancer patients who required continuing care to define their needs and the demands on their families after they left the hospital. Four of five family caregivers had to be available round-the-clock to deal with medical problems and treatment.
With patients now being discharged from hospitals earlier and sicker, shifting the burden of care to families, the Pennsylvania findings stress the need for reimbursable home care to support patients and families forced to struggle on their own with complex health problems.
Many nurse researchers are venturing into areas untouched by the medical profession. For example, Dr. McCorkle and Anne Keane at the University of Pennsylvania have just received a $1.6 million grant from the National Institute of Mental Health to conduct a pioneering study of the problems faced by the survivors of home fires. Their goal is to develop guidelines to better help people reorganize their lives after the losses sustained in residential fires.
Finally, nurse researchers are carving out new territories in health promotion and disease prevention that have been all but ignored by physicians. Studies by nurses look, for example, at factors that help patients follow doctor's orders to change their living habits after a heart attack, reasons many elderly patients fail to take influenza seriously, ways to help families cope with high cholesterol levels in children and circumstances that keep women from following an exercise routine.

The Deeper Magic of Writing
22 comments:
This is an awesome post, Allen. Thank you for the encouraging reminder about what is really important in our writing lives.ReplyDelete
Sitting at the kitchen table this morning searching my heart for my reason for writing - I know my desire is to encourage others to look to Christ Jesus, to have a deeper walk of faith, and to honor the Lord. But, I have seen very little response from people and so I wonder - am I really seeking the praise of others. I hope not. Then I read your blog and I realized that my own walk of faith must be deeper if my readers are going to connect on a deeper level as well. Thanks, Allen. This post was timely and crucial for me. Many blessings to you. Rita KroonReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Rita. Keep going deeper in the time spent writing with God. The joy that will bring is enough in itself...but often it is just the start of all that God has planned. Either way - rest in him as you write with him!Delete
You know, Allen, I read Novel Rocket all the time and love it, but honestly, when I see your name pop up, I settle in with my coffee and expect a blessing that I can carry through the day and week.ReplyDelete
I don't know if your writing is just that anointed or if I am personally experiencing whatever you cover at the time, but I suspect it's the touch of God either way.
Speaking of the "road trip," your blog today is a confirmation of a spiritual sabbatical I just finished taking for the last eight months, where I clearly felt God saying, "Julie, take your hands off the wheel and get in the back seat." Driving Miss Julie, if you will, and I have to say "The Deeper Journey" was something that not only has changed my life ... but changed my focus as well to where it should be: on "dancing" with God.
Thanks again for always giving us a piece (aka "peace" of His mind. :)
Julie - wow, thanks for your encouragement. It sounds like God is inviting you into some wild new terrain on your shared writing journey. Enjoy it. Savor it. And know you are creating in a way that surely is making God smile!Delete
Reading that, where you liken writing to the "deeper magic" was a 'deeper' God moment for me. I know my writing is His gift to me and in me, but to think of it as 'deep calls to deep' stirs me, gives me, well, deeper purpose, and encourages me. This post, sir, is a keeper, and I expect to return to it over and again. Thanks for some powerful - deep - words!ReplyDeleteReplies
So glad these words were an encouragement to you, Robin. Keep pursuing the deeper magic and the greater intimacy with God as you create together!Delete
Allen, your posts always make me soul vibrate...they are a call to me, "Remember Me, remember Me, remember Me..."ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Michael. Sometimes it is the foundational things that are the easiest to forget. I resonate with your call of "Remember Me".Delete
Wow, what a wonderful thought. I've always done as you said, prayed before writing, then asked God to bless the story when it is finished. But writing WiTH God ... I'm a bit ashamed I've never considered it. Thanks for such awesome inspiration!ReplyDeleteReplies
Writing with God really changes everything. The whole reason I believe God gives us a gift is so we can open it, experience it, and ultimately become an expert of it - with him at our side. It is beautiful and it is a creative process that puts the value on our transformation as well as what we are making. And from that, the work will have an eternal spark that can reach others. I wish you the best in your writing!Delete
This is a fabulous post! I have FINALLY started to grasp this concept of writing "with" God...not just "for" Him. It is AMAZING to sense His presence as a story is fleshed out...and it makes the time so much more treasured and filled with unexplainable peace. Even if I just get a paragraph or two out in one session, I always walk away satiated from my writing experience WITH God! Thanks, Allen!ReplyDeleteReplies
Angie - it is inspiring to hear how you are writing with God. And while that alone is worth it all, I look forward to the additional plans God has for your stories in the days and years ahead!Delete
Thank you for this inspiring and defining post. I love word meanings, and the powerful difference between "with" and "for" makes all the difference for Christian writers. Thank you for putting this concept into perspective for me.ReplyDelete
Had we been asked to distill down to one word that describes the writing journey, how many would choose the absolutely critical "With"? I'd have failed to recognize the depth that word holds and would have opted for a word like: beauty. Or creation. Maybe author, storyteller, or even passion. But the truth is - and you nailed it in this post - there are no such things apart from Christ. The journey is beautiful ONLY when the "With" is firmly rooted in place. Thanks for the reminder, Allen.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes - the journey "with" changes everything. Mostly because it changes us first. Anytime we pursue our passions and gifting with God, we are transformed. Then...the art itself becomes something more. Thanks for your comments, Kristy!Delete
- Bonnie Roof4:06 PM, November 14, 2014
Beautiful post!! Thank you!!ReplyDelete
I'm not a writer, but do believe God must go "with" us in EACH thing that we do for it to become it's most useful, fulfilling and foster our relationship with Him!!
Shared post!!Replies
You are right, Bonnie - the process of "with" applies to everything we do and any calling or gift imaginable. Thanks for your encouraging words!
This is excellent. I rarely hear anyone speaking like this when it comes to writing. Well done. This is exactly how I want to write.ReplyDeleteReplies
It really is the optimal way to write. The experience you'll have with God as you create together is worth everything. Then...what happens with the book from there is simply a bonus!Delete
I love this. Our life journey begins and ends with Him.ReplyDelete
My writing process lately has been "God, I do not want to give myself to anything that will not remain." So what I write, has to make it to the next life! :)
I also know that God is calling us to partner with Him for His kingdom to come on earth as it is in heaven. We're not robots or empty vessels. He wants to hear from us. "What's on your heart?"
That partnership is what makes the journey really fun. Yes, hard at times and \ so often we feel we are "walking in the dark," but it's a both AND. He's wanting to partner with us because HE wants us to partner with Him.
As an author, I've been in that place of "God, what do I write. I'm YOURS. Use me." But at the end of the day, it was work. Getting my backside in the chair and typing words whether I felt inspired or not!
Then even worse, is pouring out your heart, praying, crying over a story, feeling His presence as you write only to have it nominally received by both publisher and reader. Ha!
That's a WHOLE other journey of "God, you've given me these stories, but no one seems excited about them."
That is probably from the outside looking in... so we have to partner with Him for our expectations too. Just because one is anointed to write doesn't mean she'll have the most popular or most loved or best selling book.
Same with a pastor. He might be all kinds of anointed but not have the biggest church.
LIFE is about walking with Him daily. It begins in the "cleft in the rock" of prayer and intimacy. And it's a hard place to climb to because it's not always easy.
Hey... I think I'll blog off of this! Thanks for the inspiration, Allen!!
Great insights, Rachel. Thanks for sharing. I look forward to reading the post that dovetails with this topic!ReplyDelete
