The Problem
2016. There are more startups than money, talent or consumers can support or even VC money can fund. We're reaching a point where the pendulum is swinging back in the other direction for startups to be profitable. I mean profitable beyond just on a cash flow bases. This should always be a goal from day one with your startup. Spending more money then you make to acquire a customer is a losing business model.
The question then becomes; how do you build a startup marketing engine to fuel your growth? Over the last 10 years I've worked around the world from Toronto to Sydney, Melbourne to London and now I'm back home in Canada giving Vancouver a run. One phrase that keeps coming up is how different I work then some of my colleagues in marketing over the last decade. I thought I'd share some of my thinking and how I work.
The Answer
Answering how you fuel your growth can be the difference between being number one in your space and being dead last. Though you don't have to be number one in your space to win. You could be number two or even carve out a niche focus within an industry that attracts customers to your brand. This isn't a question of out spending your competition like Uber does because that's not the reality of most startups in the world. Plus Uber is spending money to subsidies their customer's purchases. Being number one or a leader in your space is a question of doing the following:
- Focus Your Marketing
- Position Your Brand
- Foundation: Build That Basement
- Customers: Know Them. Love Them
These are the areas in marketing that is going to separates A+ work that is going to shift your business from small startup to a rocket ship growth. Otherwise, you'll have average or worse yet, mediocre marketing that most startups do and think they just have to outspend to win the war. Having my last startup, mopp.com, exit with an acquisition after I came on board after 9 month earlier is a testament to my process and data informed approach to marketing.
The problem with most marketing teams whether they are 5 or 25 strong is that most teams lack real focus. Most teams are trying to run faster up a treadmill that's moving twice as fast as they are. In short, they are going no where. The reason they are moving that fast is because they are trying to do everything under the sun.
When your team is spreading themselves so thin that they can't put the time involved with analyzing their work or worse they don't know how to analyze their work. Then no matter how much work they do, they'll never move the needle on the business. The best way around this is to get your team to focus and produce less work. This may seem counter intuitive but when you product higher quality work and analyze what worked and then do more of what worked. That's just smart marketing.
Yes I said that, produce less work because your job in marketing is about achieving outcomes and hitting your KPIs. It's not about doing another press release, launching another ebook or even being interviewed on another tech blog. Unless you can prove any of those outcomes drive more profitable business in the short and long run. You shouldn't be doing them, even if your KPIs involve brand awareness which is a fuzzy thing to measure to begin with. The best way to build focus into your marketing team is by building a foundation that can't be cracked except by an act of mother nature. Before you have a foundation you've to have a position for your brand.
How your position and talk about your startup matters. This is important before and even more after you've achieved product market fit. My friend April Dunford wrote a couple detailed posts about positioning and how most startups are doing it wrong.
The key for positioning is about understanding what your product is (and isn't) and how you talk about that product with the wider market. You may call your product a widget but if customers who find value you with your product call it a yo yo. well you better rethink how you position your product if yo yos are going to drive your business forward. I'd highly recommend you read April's posts about. You'll be smarter for it and it'll help make build your foundation easier.
The foundation in your marketing team should be the work that's driving profitable growth in your startup right now. For every brand and startup that's going to be a different tactic but the key to is get everyone on your marketing team to shift their focus on how to grow those channels and grow them until they are almost maxed out.
At Mopp we focused on search: paid media & SEO with a bit of content. At a lot of SaaS or B2B startups, they tend to look at sales as their foundation for growth. There isn't a right or wrong channel to build the foundation of your startup on. However, what you don't want to do is try and cover a 6 or 8 different marketing channels at once or try to cover every marketing opportunity under the sun.
What you want to do is test a marketing channel and grow it over time. Look at your analytics every morning and see what is and isn't working with that channel, look for opportunities to grow your audience or push your growth faster. Once you've reach 6+ months of repeated customer acquisition. You've a strong foundation for growth started. As you build on your foundation and grow new marketing channels in your business. There is only one question left, who are you marketing too and are they even the right customer?
You've focused your marketing team around a couple marketing channels and built a foundation that you can count on for customers each week and every month. However, not everyone who's buying from your business is an ideal or profitable customer.
Once you start building your marketing machine, you want to make sure you focus on customers who can help grow your business in a smart and sustainable manner.
There are a couple ways you can look at this data but if you're doing a cohort analysis as you grow your customer base. The technique to figure this out is RFM analysis:
- Recency: How recently did the customer purchase?
- Frequency: How often does the customer make purchases?
- Monetary Value/Margin: How much does the customer spend?
Each one of these three measures is able to give you a good idea of how good any one individual customer is, however when used together it provides a strategy that can provide you with a great deal of information about where you are getting your profits from. Profits will always be your main KPI is your startup.
Revenue is important but without any profits to speak of you'll be out of business within a few years.
If your startup keeps focus, positioning, foundation and your customers in mind as your team and brand grows. You'll never waste time or energy doing work that doesn't contribute to the bottom line. Profit and a happy & a healthy team above all else in your business.

Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Threats to Lulu with this build
|Poke her a lot early before she hits 6. After 6 just keep her down but be careful of mana
|Farm lane. Should not be hard
|Super easy just poke her out, shove her in and if she try to all in turn her into a munction or Ult your self for the knock up.
|Twisted Fate
|Pretty safe just keep TF shove and don't let him roam for kills.
Simple season 6 guide to Lulu mid.
I have made this guide to show Lulu's strengths and how to use her effectively.
Lulu brings a lot to Summoners rift and to your team. She is known for her utility and extremely safe laning phase as well as strong late game scaling. Her entire kit revolves around harassing your opponent while keeping yourself and your teammates safe. Using Lulu high utility in the most effective way will greatly increase your chances of winning.
Pros/ Cons
Wave clear
Very good at avoiding ganks
High poke in lane
Can win most auto attack trades because of Pix, Faerie Companion
Utility that scales well into the late game
Squid Hat
No way to lock someone down (immobilize) pre 6
Very high mana costs
No sustain
Not the highest damage late game
Tips and Strategies
Lulu is very flexible in the way you can play her. Whether it be aggressive of defensive. You can use your Q to farm and harass your opponent down. You can also use your E to extend to range of Q for more tricky play. Use E to block incoming damage. Save W for when your being ganked or receiving a gank to get the kill or run away. W also should be used to prevent the other mid laner from wanting to get aggressive on you by stoping all their damage and hitting them.
Q- Glitterlance
Cost: 60/65/70/75/80 Mana
Range: 925
Pix and Lulu each fire a bolt of magical energy that heavily slows all enemies it hits. an enemy can only be damaged by one bolt.
Lulu and Pix each fire a piercing bolt dealing 80/125/170/215/260 (+50% Ability Power) magic damage, slowing enemies hit by 80% for 1/1.25/1.5/1.75/2 second(s). This slow decays over time.An enemy can only be damaged by one bolt.
Cost: 65 Mana
Range: 650
If cast on an ally, grants them Movement Speed for a short time. If cast on an enemy, turns them into an adorable critter that can't attack or cast spells.
On Ally Cast: Target ally gains 30 (+10% Ability Power)% Movement Speed for 3/3.5/4/4.5/5 seconds.
On Enemy Cast: Polymorphs an enemy champion for 1.25/1.5/1.75/2/2.25 seconds, disabling their ability to attack or cast spells and reducing their base Movement Speed by 60.
E- Help, Pix!
Cost: 60/70/80/90/100 Mana
Range: 650
If cast on an ally, commands Pix to jump to an ally and shield them. He then follows them and aids their attacks. If cast on an enemy, commands Pix to jump to an enemy and damage them. He then follows them and grants you vision of that enemy.
On Ally Cast: Commands Pix to jump to an ally and then follow and aid their attacks instead of Lulu's for 6 seconds. If the ally is a champion, Pix shields them from 80/120/160/200/240 (+60% Ability Power) damage for 6 seconds.
On Enemy Cast: Pix deals 80/110/140/170/200 (+40% Ability Power) magic damage to target enemy unit. Pix then follows and grants vision of them for 4 seconds.
R-Wild Growth
Cost: 100 Mana
Range: 900
Lulu enlarges an ally, knocking nearby enemies into the air and granting the ally a large amount of bonus health. For the next few seconds, that ally gains an aura that slows nearby enemies.
Lulu enlarges her ally, knocking nearby enemies into the air. For 7 seconds, her ally gains 300/450/600 (+50% Ability Power) bonus health and slows nearby enemies by 30/45/60%.
Summoner Spells
Good if you want that extra little push to get a kill.
Good if you need a little more protection
Good if you wanna guarentee you don't get all in. Also good if the enemy team has lots of damage threats.
Best summoner must take
Good if your afraid of using too much mana or being poked out of lane. Also good for map control
Runes/ Masteries
Standard AP Mid lane runes
12/18/0 masteries. The reason for this is because Thunderlord's Decree is really strong on mid laners right now. Also very easy to use with Lulu with a few abilities and autos. The reason for Thunderlord's Decree and not Deathfire touch is because Thunderlord's Decree does more damage in shorter bursts instead of constant poke. Then 12 points into the Ferocity tree because it does more damage then the Resolve tree would be. Take the 12 Point in resolve tree if you want that safety but remember your trading away your damage for it.
Laning Phase
Pre 6
Lulu can be played very aggressive early with her strong pushing speed. Your gonna wanna harass with your auto's they do more than you would think. Remember you can use your E to extend the range of your Q to poke people out of lane. Be careful of your manna supply
Post 6
Once you hit 6 your very hard to be kicked out of lane because of your ult. Continue to play the lane accordingly only now you have better all in potential and skirmishing power.
Don't be afraid to roam as Lulu her roam power is very underrated. Lulu can get around the map very fast with the help of her W. Her Q slow is often all you need if a lane is overextended to run someone down and pick up a kill.
Team Fight
Lulu Brings high utility to team fights. Mainly Lulu is meant to buff up other member of your team (adc). Im gonna go over every ability and how they can be used.
Q- Glitterlance
This can be used to slow to catch up to fleeing targets.
Good slow for kiting/peeling or running away
Good source of damage
Speeds up your team members so they can catch out targets that out of position
Makes you or 1 of your allies very fast so they can get away or
Defensively it can be used on an enemy champion to prevent them from doing damage (Recommend on whoever does the most damage or is the most threatening)
E- Help, Pix!
Can be used to shield allies (Best choice usually)
Used on an enemy champion does a bit of damage and grants vision of that champ.
Move Pix around which allows you to extend the range or angle of your Q
R-Wild Growth
Used to save allies by giving them a bunch of Hp and making them huge also slowing people.
Also is a nice AOE knock-up

i'm tardy to the party, but today i am joining bonnie at faith barista. last week, a friend emailed me her post and i was reminded me that the when it all seems crazy and life is filled with confusion, like bonnie, i need to write. so here i am, putting words to the screen and sharing again. . .
{today's prompt}: "what i know now. . ." a letter to our younger selves.
dear lauren,
the next ten years of life will hold some of the greatest joy and sorrow one can imagine. if i told you now what you'll live through, you wouldn't believe me. sometimes i don't when i look back.
at moments you will want to give up. you should.
you aren't going to be able to survive what is coming in your own strength. when the earth begins to shake and your world comes crashing down, throw your hands in the air. don't grasp white-knuckled to your perceived happily ever afters. hit your knees. put your face to the carpet. stretch out your arms. and just say His name.
when you can no longer form words between your tears, just groan. you'll find Jesus there. the Person. a relentless lover of your soul. not the felt-board version you thought you knew.
He's already there. He will carry you. picking up your limbs and literally pulling them from bed. then He will gently place your broken feet upon solid ground again. Holding your hand tight as you stumble and fall. but then He will ask the unimaginable.
He is going to tell you to dance.
you'll laugh. and scoff. scream. and fling your fist into the air more than once. but then He'll gently grab your fingers and lead. placing His arm around your middle and teaching you how to step and then spin into the next chapter of your story.
let Him.
and as you dance into the next chapter keep your hands open and arms high. above all else, say 'yes'. no matter what He asks.
joy will come. not in a bolt of lightening but rather in each little step. you won't awaken with a paradigm shift. joy will creep in day by day. taking root deep within your soul and invading your person.
as joy invades, you will look around and realize your life is absolutely beautiful. hindsight will become 20-20. and you will see. . .
in the midst of your greatest heartbreak He was orchestrating your greatest growth.
and believe it or not, you will say 'thank you.'
you'll find your crazy, once timid self joyously dancing 3,000 miles from home on a friday night. with new friends who are now family. screaming, arms outstretched. . .
and you'll mean it. the joy will overflow from your heart onto your cheeks.
don't believe me? just wait. . .
. . .it's going to be a wild ride.
what would you say in a letter to your younger self?

Into the Arena – Part 15
I got to draw explosions, a kinda neat camera angle, and Sam getting groin-smashed all in one page. It was really fun to draw. Took forever to color, but dang was it fun to draw.
Originally, Hiaté was gonna hit him on the head with the blunt end of her sword. That failed horribly (yay height and alloted space issues), and so I went to her kicking him in the stomach. The way I chose to do that left way too much to the imagination, tho, so if you so choose, yeah, boy's hurtin' in terrible ways right now.
And yet that panel is still the one I'm the least happy with. Huh.

SNP's Angus Robertson warns of Scottish independence bid in event of Brexit vote
The issue of Scottish independence within the EU has "not gone away", the SNP's leader in Westminster Angus Robertson has said.
Mr Robertson made clear that the independence debate will be revived if Scotland is taken out of the EU against its will in the June 23 referendum, though he insisted he did not want the nation to take this path to sovereignty.
Speaking at Hewlett Packard Enterprise offices in London, Mr Robertson called for a "positive" campaign for Britain to remain in the EU, rather than an approach which would see the UK stay on as a "surly lodger".
Warning that the campaign was "at a turning point" with polls suggesting a growing likelihood of a Leave vote, Mr Robertson said: "Now more than ever, we need to hear the positive case to remain in the European Union, because it is not good enough to squeak a victory and stay in the EU and remain a surly lodger. The issue will not go away.
"As a supporter of Scottish independence within the European Union, I can assure you that this issue has not gone away, especially with the potential outcome of Scotland being taken out of the EU against the wishes of Scottish voters.
"I do not wish for this route to Scottish sovereignty, as I would prefer to remain within the EU together with our friends, neighbours and key trading partners in England, Wales and Ireland north and south. Scotland can and will make constitutional progress regardless of the EU referendum.
"What I do wish for in three weeks of positive campaigning are the strong messages around jobs, prosperity and security that matter to us individually, as families, as communities as countries."
Mr Robertson said that support for the EU among Scottish businesses was "overwhelming", with 68% saying they back Remain, according to a Scottish Chamber of Commerce survey.
Firms based in the EU are the ultimate owners of 42% of the more than 2,310 foreign-owned companies in Scotland, which between them employ around 314,000 people with a combined turnover of £90 billion, he said.
Scottish businesses "know the benefit of accessing a single market made up of over half a billion people and offering tariff free trade", said Mr Robertson.
He added: "But Scotland is not just an exporting nation. In four out of the last five years, Scotland has been the most successful of all the nations and regions of the UK outside of London in attracting foreign direct investment, according to Ernst and Young's attractiveness survey 2015.
"Europe is not perfect, but it was never meant to be. One of its founding fathers Robert Schuman proclaimed in that famous 1950 address; 'Europe will not be made all at once, or according to one single plan, rather it will be formed by taking concrete measures which bring about real solidarity'."

JULIA Gillard kicked off this election year burnishing her leadership credentials by a captain's pick of an indigenous sporting hero as a Labor Senate candidate.
Tony Abbott is using the well-worn Opposition leader's path of the mini-campaign.
We can only hope it might reach the highs and lows of Mark Latham's 2004 magic bus tour of the northern NSW coast - something remembered for the stage-managed end of stage-managed politics and how it prompted John Howard to sit uncomfortably on the schoolroom floor with seven-year-olds.
Sadly, it's probably going to be another fly-in fly-out tour of major media markets where the booklet Abbott kept waving at his 165 spellbound candidates - they couldn't see it because they were listening in on a phone hook-up - will be the prop of choice.
Called Our Plan: Real Solutions For All Australians, the booklet, we're told, won't detail new policies but rather recap those handful of promises already made and present a "positive" view of the Opposition Leader.
We've been told about the "new positive Abbott" many times - such a change of tack was first mooted in late 2011, just over a year after the election, but its execution was lost in translation.
The biggest missed opportunity was the middle of last year when the object of most of Abbott's negativity - the pricing and taxing of carbon emissions - became reality and was met with an almost universal Australian shrug.
Some Coalition MPs fear Abbott hasn't got it in him to change, and he is the one-trick pony Labor claims him to be - capable only of attacking and fear-mongering.
This could be Abbott's last opportunity to flick the switch to positive.
When he was in Brisbane this week, Abbott was asked whether he was ever unscripted or was there only the controlled, on-message politician we see day after day.
"I'd like to think that I'm a disciplined person, because the leader or would-be leader of our country has to be disciplined, but I would hate to think that I was ever becoming programmed or robotic," said Abbott.
Abbott is neither the negative obsessive Labor paints him nor a robot who is incapable of deviating from the script - some of his most memorable work has been off-script - but anyone who waves a booklet at a phone hook-up clearly needs to check himself.

Bruised But Not Broken by Sabrina Childress
I was born Alice Mae White to a woman who never wanted children. Fortunately for me, I was the only one because she'd managed to abort three previous mistakes. So I was
the lucky winner and proud recipient of all the hate she harbored for me "messing up" her life.
What's my back story? Everyone has one, right? Well mine isn't all that spectacular if you ask me. But since I'm here and you're here and I'm the one telling the story I'll let you be the judge. First things first, I've killed someone. Well two people total and one I'm not exactly sure of. Don't judge me. And no, I've not gone to jail for any of my crimes. Personally, they deserved it, so I see it as God's way of redeeming himself for letting me down. And before you get all religious on me, let me just say, save it! God hasn't done me any favors since the day I took my first breath, with the exception of those afore mentioned crimes. And no, I don't feel sorry for myself and I don't want pity from you either. It's just life. That's it. That's all. So back to my oh-so-interesting back story; step into the great unknown.

When I tell my phone "Call "John Doe""(with the google search speech function) it will call "John Joe" but show the picture from "Jane Times" profile and contact picture. Has anybody else noticed this? Figured out a way to fix it? Thank you, Alex

Luxurious villa Del Sueno, WiFi, internet, H/pool,Table Tennis, Pool table, A/C, Hot tub.
The magnificent villa Del Sueno is ideally situated in the Canarian village of Tias in Lanzarote. Just a short walk from the villa is the village centre where you will find supermarkets, shops, good restaurants, tapas bars, local bakery and taxi rank. The spacious villa is tastefully decorated to a high standard and has 4 Large bedrooms with massive private terrace. The full size pool is electrically heated whilst being surrounded by comfortable sun beds and barbecue area. An American pool table and Table Tennis for guests use. Air conditioning and keep you cool during those warm sultry nights. A large 7 seat hot tub jacuzzi is on the terrace for that soothing and relaxing soak and hydro air massage. Free WiFi wireless high speed internet hotspot is available throughout the villa and terrace. Stay in touch with friends and family whilst sipping that holiday cocktail.
Car Hire: We can arrange competitively priced car hire during your holiday in Lanzarote with a local car hire company on the Island who offer the very latest models. Please ask for a quotation. Vehicles can be collected and returned to airport. Prices include unlimited mileage. Also up to 2 child seats are available at no charge.
Villa Del Sueno. Lanzarote 'Isle of Dreams': Lanzarote, the sun-kissed & the most easterly of the 7 main Canary Islands is claimed to be the most exclusive. The climate is dominated by north eastern trade winds and the warm Gulf stream producing glorious summer temperatures all year round. The main resorts are concentrated in the centre and south of the island, Puerto del Carmen, Costa Teguise, and Playa Blanca. The most popular resort is Puerto Del Carmen with over 5 km of golden beaches, rocky divides and palm trees. Only a five minute drive away from the hustle and bustle of Puerto del Carmen, Villa Del Sueno can be found.
Hot tub spa jacuzzi on your terrace: Using a spa has been attributed with many positive aspects. But none may be more important than the quality time that you and your friends & family spend together enjoying the relaxing waters of your spa. Hydrotherapy has been positively linked to the following health care issues:
Stress related conditions - Using a spa is the perfect antidote for stress. The warm water combined with a soothing massage helps relieve anxiety, chronic headaches and high blood pressure and also relaxes tense muscles due to stress.
Sleep benefits - relaxing in hot water before bedtime can promote a natural and deeper sleep using the body's own chemistry.
Diabetes benefits - It was written that sitting in a hot tub over a specific period of time improved the patients' diabetes condition as it lowers blood sugar levels and boosts general well being.
Arthritis and pain relief - hydrotherapy is one of the more popular treatments for arthritis, athletic, joint and muscle pain relief.
Great facilities in this villa - in particular the heated pool and hot tub, which were both available instantaneously (unlike other places we have stayed in the Canary Islands). It was exactly what we wanted for a relaxing Winter break. Highly recommended.
We had a really relaxing week away in this lovely villa, we cannot fault it.
We arrived to Champayne on ice, first impressions of the villa were fab, we couldn't wait to check all the facilities out.
Roy came regularly to service the pool and hot tub and was on the phone if we needed him, although we didn't as everything was perfect !
We would not hesitate to go back to this villa or choose another one from Roy.
Thankyou so much for the welcome pack and letting us stay longer on our last day.
We would recommend Villa Del Sueno 100%.
We all had a great time, the facilities and cleanliness were excellent my grandchildren (2, 7 and 14) loved the pool, pool and table tennis table there was plenty to keep all ages entertained the Sky TV and Wifi was a real bonus and hot tub was a hit with the adults. Puerto del Carmen was only a five minute drive ( you do need a car) and Playa Blanca about 20 mins although it was hard getting everyone to leave the Villa.
Customer service was excellent, Roy the owner was on hand if needed.
We will definitely recommend this Villa to family and friends.
We all left feeling very relaxed
This villa is one of the best villas we have stayed in. Roy and his wife really have thought of everything to make this home from home, right down to pegs for the clothes line!
My husband and I stayed here with our 2 older daughters, their partners and our 14 year old son. Keeping my son happy was the hardest - as anyone with teenage boys will know! The only thing he complained about was the sun and not having an air con unit in his room! There was a ceiling fan but I don't think it was working. The villa is well equipped with enough for everyone, plenty of sofa seating, dining room, and patio seats and sunbeds. I really didn't notice anything we needed that wasn't provided. The furniture is very modern and comfortable. It was lovely having 3 en suites and a main bathroom, meant we all got use our own toilets!!
My only little grumble was having a coin operated air con meter. Would've thought air con could be included in the villa rental price rather than guests having to make sure they have plenty of 1 & 2 euro coins and then making sure there's enough in the meter to get you through the night.
The pool table and table tennis was a winner, especially with the table tennis being in the shade. The hot tub was fab for ending the night in after meals and drinks in Carmen. Taxis into Carmen were very efficient, (even missed two when we weren't ready quick enough!) and they were around 6-8 euros depending on daytime or evening and it is literally a 5 minute ride into the centre. Roy's villa book gave instructions how to order them and the lady who answered spoke quite good English too so it's not difficult to order.
Roy is around too to help with any problems you may have with the villa which we found very reassuring, we knew he was only a phonecall away if we had any difficulties with anything. Their welcome pack was a godsend, especially the chilled cava, was great celebrating the first night of arrival in the hot tub with that! Thank you!
In all this villa is a perfect base for families, with children young or old and young couples/groups. You won't be disappointed.
Absolutely fantastic 5 stars all round I have to be unbelievably picky to fault the experience we had staying at this villa. The villa is spacious; well equipped and the quality of furnishings is above standard from previous holiday rentals. The pool is inviting and always warm, as is the hot tub, Wifi/Internet has good coverage for the size of the villa. Out door BBQ was great used it loads and the outdoor seating. Shaded areas if you needed them, nice warm winds kept us just right; don't let the high temp's scare you we had 42 highs but it felt like 28-30 at home due to the wind. The lows of 22 at night are just right too. Didn't need the air-con except for when the husband got a little sun burnt from the beach trip :-) so he put it on in one of the bedrooms.
Villa is very quiet even next to the main road, the road is so smooth you don't hear the traffic when it passes. Neer heard an aeroplane once as it is 10-15mins away. HiperDino in Tias cheapest and best choice; we found it cheaper than the del carmen stores (must be because its a local's shop not many tourists in it we thought). Loads to do on the island Carmen is very nice to visit (over crowded to stay there we thought) and same for Playa Blanca. Easy access in and around the villa. We used Roys recommendation for the car rental and they we good and very cheap. Getting around the island was easy and really nice views the kids loved it. Rancho Texas great day out. See what I am doing here..talking about the island as the villa was awesome; If I had to say anything bad - it didn't have a pen; wanted to do a crossword in the magazine. I also didn't like the idea of having to pay for AirCon i.e. coins in a meter seemed cheap to me, but we only used the aircon for one night and it cost about 30p. but seriously do not let this put you off FANTASTIC place and worthy of a second visit. We are considering one of Roys other villas he has next time, as we usually don't go to the same place twice. Overall a Massive Thank you to Roy a smooth transaction, good communication and a credit to your collection. PS loved the little welcoming touch of chilled CAVA and OJ as well as tea/coffee, bread and butter. Hopefully be speaking soon about next years visit.
Our family stay over xmas & new year at villa del Sueno was absolutely brilliant, the villa was spotless, the owner Roy, managed the pool & hot tub on a regular basis & even booked our boarding passes for our return journey for us all, he was there if we needed any help at all, superb ! The layout of the villa was excellent for my disabled mum, very easy & accessible to get around in & outdoors ! P-can garage on opposite corner of the road very handy for essentials we may of needed, plus the cleaners who came were really lovely &. Polite ! So so very sad to leave such a beautiful, clean, comfortable &charming villa which had everything & more for a great holiday & much more ! Also on arrival the owner had left us essentials, such as bread, butter, cheese, ham, milk beers, orange juice & even a bottle of champagne ! ! ! He really really looked after us & could not fault anything at all ! Thank you once again Roy & Jill x
Just a short walk from the Villa is the village centre where you will find supermarkets, shops, good restaurants, tapas bars, local bakery (for freshly baked bread and warm croissants), and a taxi rank. Villa Del Sueno is also just a five-minute drive from the spectacular 5km of golden beaches at Puerto Del Carmen with its palm tree's and rocky divides. The picturesque old fishing port is a favourite spot to watch late night boules or sample one of the many excellent seafood restaurants for that special evening. Alternatively visit our fabulous Marina at Puerto Calero and gaze into the clear waters to see the many species of fish, book a submarine or catamaran trip, or take a snorkelling lesson. Why not lunch or dine in one of the many quayside restaurants. Tias is centrally situated on the Island and is ideally placed for the many excursions: Timanfaya National Park (live volcano), Camel rides, Jameos del Agua (caves),Green caves, Cactus park and Parrot park, to name but a few.
Other Activities: Go carting
Golf: There is a new golf course just on the outskirts of Puerto del Carmen which is a 2 minutes away by car.
There is also another course in Costa Teguise about a 15 minute drive away.

Steven Gellman
Ebenezers Coffeehouse
201 F St. NE
Washington, DC, 20002
Doors 5:00 PM (event ends at 7:00 PM)
This event is all ages
Honest, sincere, and often humorous, Steven Gellman has been performing his slice-of-life lyrics to audiences across the United States since the mid-90s. Described by Billboard Magazine as "intensely sensitive and impressively intelligent," Gellman's songwriting captures the simple moments of everyday life and wraps them in notes that will have you humming along – long after the song is over. On stage, Gellman combines friendly banter with a sonorous, tenor voice that critics have compared to the late John Denver.
Gellman broke onto the folk scene in 1997 with his debut release "Photobook" garnering critical acclaim – he was nominated for 4 awards from The Washington Area Music Association Awards (WAMA) and by The Gay/Lesbian American Music Awards (GLAMA) for Debut Album of the Year. His sophomore release, "Return to Summer Lake" (2000), was hailed by Billboard Magazine as "essential for fans of sensitive acoustic music." In 2003, Gellman recorded "Love Loss Longing" – a concept album exploring the journey one goes through at the end of a relationship. His latest release, "Peaceful World" (2010) garnered a nod from the Washington Area Music Association and was hailed by PAMusicScene.com as a "collection of brilliantly crafted folk masterpieces that pull you into another world."
Gellman has travelled near and far to perform at renowned acoustic music venues throughout the United States and Canada including The Birchmere in Alexandria, The Ark in Ann Arbor, The Blue Bird Café in Nashville, The Tin Angel in Philadelphia, and Club Passim in Boston. In Washington, DC, he has performed at the venerated National Theatre and the most sought after venue of all, The White House. Gellman has had the honor to open shows for Dar Williams, Cheryl Wheeler, Richie Havens, Richard Shindell, and Al Stewart among others.
Don Murphy of the National Theatre says "Steven Gellman's insightful original songs and homespun stories provide a soul-warming folk rock respite in a busy chilly world."

Writer-director Spike Jonze has created an old fashioned love story in his latest movie Her. But, here's the thing… Her isn't exactly your regular ol' Sleepless in Seattle romance. Why? Well…the main character falls in love with… his operating system. The two lovers — Theodore (Joaquin Phoenix) and Samantha (the voice of Scarlett Johansson) never meet face to face. In fact Samantha has no face, not even an avatar a la Siri. At times sad and eerie, this film is a true commentary on modern life and our difficulty to find true connection. Despite the film's modern twists, Jonze successfully draws on universal, timeless themes that give the film an inherent humanity: our intrinsic yearning to connect, our deep need for intimacy, and at times…our actual inability to connect…which has been exacerbated by technology. Essentially, this film walks the line between an old fashioned love story and a modern day tale of loneliness and one man's quest to find love in the abstract.

|SalesVantage.com >> Article Archives >> Selling Tactics >> Pulling Out Of a Sales Slump
"I've tried everything and I can't even give it away this month!"How many times have you heard these lines before? Maybe they've even rolled off your lips a time or two. These phrases are indicative of a salesperson suffering through a temporary business turn down, commonly referred to as a "sales slump."
A regional sales manager was counseling a veteran sales person on his recent low numbers. The manager offered, "Everyone in sales eventually has business down turns." The sales person replied, "I know that, but why me? What did I do to deserve it?"
Strangely enough, this sales representative may have done nothing to deserve his recent slump. Many sales slumps are unpredictable and are triggered by uncontrollable events. By uncontrollable, we mean circumstances like:
The secret to pulling out of a sales slump is how to react to the situation.
The things to remember about sales slumps are:
8 Strategies to Get Out of a Sales Slump
1. Regain Your Focus:Whatever the cause of the sales slump, the most important thing is to not over react, but be proactive by instituting one or all of the eight strategies listed above.
By taking a proactive and positive approach to your slump, you'll be doing something about it and not just complaining about it. Remember the old saying: "It's better to light a candle than to curse the darkness!"

Leading consulting group with a 360° approach
Aerodynamic stability
A key challenge to be solved for most bridge structures is the aerodynamic stability. An understanding of the interactions between the natural wind and a given structure is important to ensure a proper function regarding structural integrity and human comfort.
The services provided by COWI include many aspects from aeroelastic analysis to advanced computer simulations and wind tunnel testing in order to provide mitigation.
Also, for wind engineering including computation of micro-meteorology and human comfort in windy environments we provide services based on CFD models.
Railway dynamics
High-speed trains require state of the art calculation procedures with respect to train runability, safety and passenger comfort. COWI uses in-house expertise and experience to perform these state of the art calculations.
Using in-house developed models, COWI can produce quick and precise results on rail/train/bridge interaction under different load cases by using a specially developed train model with multiple degrees of freedom per coach. The model setup can also take turbulent cross-wind interaction into account.
Structural health monitoring systems (SHMS)
Structural health monitoring performs structural characterisation and damage detection over time in order to provide reliable information regarding the integrity and serviceability of the structure.
COWI has much experience within structural health monitoring. Various projects are completed. They include design of structural health monitoring systems for new and existing structures to planning, installation, testing and trouble-shooting.
SHMS data integrated in maintenance management
COWI has developed state of the art methods for integrating structural health monitoring data with maintenance management systems based on a probabilistic approach.
The outcome helps maintenance engineers to optimise maintenance plans based on a limited number of sensors in combination with visual inspection

Tag URLs without /tag
I'm about to launch a new site about recipes and I would like to have a simple and intuitive feature that allows visitors to find articles based on ingredients. Example:
I guess the easiest and best way to achieve this is through tags. I set the permalink structure to be like "/recipes/%category%/%postname%/" and the tag prefix to be "/%tag%".
Problem is that I'm not getting it to work, since it gets messed with permalinks rule.
1) http://www.mysite.com/CHOCOLATE <- works and shows all articles related to the tag "CHOCOLATE"
2) I click on an article under the tag "CHOCOLATE" (www.mysite.com/recipes/cakes/chocolate-cake/) <- 404 error – not found
Any idea how to make it work?
Thanks a lot.

Teachers in New Jersey will get an average raise of 2.4 percent for 2012-13, according to data compiled by the New Jersey School Boards Association.
But more than a third of all school districts have settlements at 2 percent or lower this year. School districts and teachers' unions are grappling with the state's 2 percent cap on property-tax increases and the new requirement that teachers pay 1.5 percent toward their health benefits.
"Our teachers have started to pay into their benefits this month for the first time, so this will have an impact on salaries," said Michelle Cappelluti, superintendent in Hamilton Township, where the contract expired in June and both sides are still in negotiations.
New Jersey Education Association spokesman Steve Baker said settlements tend to follow the economy, but as the economy recovers, the property-tax cap will make it difficult for school boards to respond in kind.
Teacher contracts typically run for three years, with about one-third of the state's districts coming up each year. This year, about 160 districts remain in negotiations, with 107 having contracts that expired in June and 53 having contracts that expired in June 2011 or earlier.
Local districts that have already settled are in the 2 percent range.
Woodbine teachers will get 2 percent raises each year of their three-year contract. The district also moved from a private health care plan to the state health benefits plan, Superintendent Lynda Anderson-Towns said.
The median teacher's salary in the district in 2011-12 was $64,493, according to the 2012 Department of Education Taxpayers Guide to Education Spending.
The median salary represents the salary that is in the middle of all teachers, with half earning more and half earning less. In districts that are growing or have a lot of turnover, median salaries tend to be lower. In districts that are not hiring many new teachers, median salaries are higher. Salaries are also affected by the district salary guide, which determines how much a salary will increase each year and how long it takes to get to the top salary.
The average salary statewide in 2011-12 was $59,225 in K-8 districts and $62,665 in K-12 districts, the state spending guide said. Charter schools had the lowest average salary of $49,596. Special services schools, which teach severely disabled students, had the highest average teacher salary of $70,893.
West Cape May settled a new contract last spring with average raises of 1.75 percent this year, then 2 percent for the next two years. Superintendent Alfred Savio said the teachers understood the fiscal constraints under the tax-levy cap. The median teacher's salary there in 2011-12 was $50,297.
In Wildwood, teachers will get 1.5 percent this year, 2.15 percent next year and 2 percent in the third year of the contract. The median salary is $67,887.
Margate's new contract, approved in July, comes with a 2.49 percent salary increase in each of the three years. The median salary there is $83,820.
Ocean City's contract expired in June 2011 and has gone to state fact-finding, school and union officials said. A meeting is scheduled for this month. Neither side would comment specifically on the negotiations.
The district is highly regarded, and teachers there have traditionally been well-paid. The state spending guide shows Ocean City has the second highest median teacher salary in the state, at $88,434.
The starting salary there for 2010-11, the last year of the contract, was $46,815 for a new teacher with just a bachelor's degree. According to the most recent salary guide, those teachers will get to $78,000 after 13 years, then receive annual longevity pay, which ranges from $2,000 to a high of $8,000 after 26 years in the district.
Other districts still reported to be in negotiations include Absecon, Buena Regional, Greater Egg Harbor Regional and Pleasantville in Atlantic County; Cape May and Middle Township in Cape May County; Bridgeton, Millville and Vineland in Cumberland County; and Barnegat Township and Long Beach Island Consolidated in Ocean County.
Buena Regional Superintendent Walter Whitaker said the district has gone to state mediation and that money is the biggest issue. State data show the median salary there is $69,440.
Greater Egg Harbor Regional and Absecon have also gone to mediation. The median salary in Greater Egg is $60,250. In Absecon, the median teacher salary is $69,987.
A few districts have tentative agreements that still need to be ratified, including Lawrence and Maurice River townships in Cumberland County.

The MSM Beauty Squad is here to give you honest, heartfelt reviews to all the beauty, skin care and life style products you want to try. Acquaint yourself with who we are and then read on to know what each one of us has to say about the pick of the week- Clarins UV Plus Anti-Pollution (SPF 50) Sunscreen.
What are we reviewing?
This week, the Beauty Squad is reviewing a skin care essential, the Clarins UV Plus Anti Pollution (SPF 50) Sunscreen.
Note how we say skin care essential and not summer essential.
Contrary to common perception, sunscreen is a must all year round! Yes, even on those over-cast days!
The Clarins Sunscreen is available in three variations: Transclucent, Fairness and Rosy Glow. The Transclucent sunscreen appears white in colour, the Fairness has a blue tint to it and the Rosy Glow has a peachy-pink tint. Please speak to a Clarins beauty advisor to understand which one is best for your needs.
How much does it cost? The Clarins sunscreen 30ml bottle is priced at Rs 2750.
Intro to product or product category:
Clarins is a French luxury cosmetics company, founded in 1954. The MSM Beauty Squad became aware of the new sunscreen through a marketing initiative Clarins India did in the form of a pop-up shop in a mall in New Delhi. Since Clarins is known to be a trustworthy and highly reputable brand, we didn't hesitate to step in and buy some products.
How does it work - what is the product claim?
Formulated with Clarins' exclusive Anti-Pollution Complex, the sunscreen is a lightweight, oil-free day screen which aims to shield the skin from UVA/UVB rays, pollution, and free radical damage.
Clarins claims that it forms an invisible shield that protects skin from the appearance of dark spots and future ageing.
What we thought:
Overall, the Clarins sunscreen proved to be a good choice for the entire beauty Squad.
The sunscreen spreads evenly, has a mattifying effect, and does not feel cakey or heavy on any of the skin types. It also serves as a good base for make up since it mattifies the face and allows even make up application.
- Diva (Oily Skin): I thought the Clarins sunscreen spread quite easily and evenly on my face. It did feel a little sticky on my inherently oily face for the first couple of minutes after application. However, as it settled it did not make my face shine or feel sticky.
- Kat (Dry Skin): To start off, make sure you guys shake the bottle prior to application to ensure proper emulsification and the right texture. It does spread eaily and the texture is good. It felt a wee bit oily with some shine right after I applied it, but it mattified within a few seconds and looked quite natural. Also at first application it feels like there is a white cast on my skin, but that too settled down and my skin looked like its normal tone agin. It stays put all day however I must add that I haven't tested it in hot sweaty conditions - such as an outdoor workout - with sweat pouring down my face! As far as make up application over the sunscreen goes, I applied the Clarins UV Plus over my normal moisturiser, and then used my medium coverage Clinique compact makeup with spf 15. Make up went on smoothly.
- Shaz (Combination Skin): My experience with the Clarins Sunscreen has been nothing short of amazing. Having avidly avoided sunscreen for the better part of my years (massive mistake, btw), I have absolutely no qualms about applying the Clarins Sunscreen everyday, or even a few times a day! It spreads very easily without making me feel like I'm carrying greasy heavy weights on my face, stays put throughout the day and works as a perfect base for make up. It also has a lovely subtle fresh scent. It mattified my oily T-zone and brought out the natural colour of my skin like never before. A big thumbs up from me!

Bristol was treated to the first music event on Clifton Downs since 2011 this month; where, after 13 years, Massive Attack finally returned to their hometown for seemingly the wettest day the world has ever seen.
Brand new festival The Downs was born for 2016 after Massive Attack agreed to team up with local event organisers Team Love (Love Saves the Day, Arcadia Bristol) to put together a one-day event fusing main stage acts like Skepta, Primal Scream and Young Fathers, with local talent (Krust, Pinch, Stryda, et al.), as well as a politically-leaning Information Area with talks from the likes of Giles Duley and Vivienne Westwood (via video).
Our day probably started the same as most people who'd bought tickets for the once-in-a-decade event – looking longingly out of the window willing the rain to let up, before a begrudging acceptance of our shitty British weather.
Once we arrived at the event we headed straight to the bar for some drinks, which would later become a favourite point of contention for the inevitable Twitter moaners, who complained that drinks were overpriced at £4.30 a can and some RRP prices were visible. Come on guys, we all know how much a 4-pack costs down the shop. And in what realm would you expect to pay less then £4ish for a can at a festival?
We then headed over to the second 'local music' stage, courtesy of Lion Pulse Sound System, where it became apparent that those who arrived early were not going to let the rain dampen their spirits. We stuck around for Bristol Hi-fi and Smith & Mighty who warmed the crowd up nicely before Skepta took to the main stage.
The gods seemed to be on the side of the energetic grime artist as we were offered a rare respite from the rain throughout his set. The hoods were off and the crowd was grooving to Numbers and It Ain't Safe, among others, from his new album Konnichiwa.
Now on to the Twitter moaners next favourite point of contention: the queues. Admittedly the queues were absolutely insane, but when 18,000 wet wipes don't turn up until 6 o'clock because they're too scared of a bit of rain, then of course there's going to be a huge back log at the bars and food vendors. Ultimately, the organisers offered more than enough in way of food and drink outlets, but some factors are beyond their control…
'All the bands took to the stage and really blew people away, culminating with Massive Attack perhaps putting in one of the performances of their lifetime – it really was special.'
– Tom Paine, Team Love
Team Love's Tom Paine tells Pitch: 'Myself, the team and the band are all really happy with how the first music concert event on The Downs in over 15 years went. Faced with some fairly tricky conditions and times what felt like a tempest of rain, all the bands took to the stage and really blew people away, culminating with Massive Attack perhaps putting in one of the performances of their lifetime – it really was special.'
Before that though, Primal Scream followed Skepta on the main stage to play notable classics Movin' on up, Loaded and, of course, their final track Rocks. It was around this time that the sun went down and the entire crowd turned into one unidentifiable mass of hoods, and even going to the toilet was met with a whole new challenge of successfully finding your friends again before the headline act…
The first thing to say about Massive Attack's set is that the sound was spot on. I'm not sure whether they just cranked it up for the headliners, but it seemed to be an improvement on the previous acts. The set started slow, opening with Hymn of the Big Wheel, featuring the amazing Horace Andy, who stuck about for a number of tunes throughout the set – most notably Girl I love you from Heligoland, which, for me, marked a point in the set where they started to step up the gear.
Young Fathers came on to accompany the Bristolians for a few before the long anticipated reunion with old friend Tricky who showed up for a token track Take it there. The end of the set was littered with classics like Inertia Creeps and Angel before Deborah Miller came on to see off the set with Safe from Harm and the encore, Unfinished Sympathy.
Despite the naysayers, the event was very well organised and had the weather been on form I can't see there being much to complain about. In fact, I quite like the fact that it rained (even if my coat still smells dank) – it certainly made the whole day a lot more memorable on a now-rare opportunity to see one of the most successful bands to come out of Bristol / the UK.
There's also some good news regarding the condition of The Downs and some exciting prospects for the future, as Tom Paine explains: 'The site itself held up incredibly well – the grass is still green even after 30,000 people danced amongst torrents of water falling from the sky. We certainly hope this could be the start of an annual concert on The Downs each summer.'

Automata Modeling of Quorum Sensing for Nanocommunication Networks
Tutor / director / avaluadorAkyildiz, Ian F.
Tipus de documentProjecte/Treball Final de Carrera
Condicions d'accésAccés obert
Nanotechnology is enabling the development of devices in a scale ranging one to hundreds of nanometers. Communication between these devices underlying in the nanoscale greatly expands the possible applications, increasing the complexity and range of operation of the system. Several options for nanocommunications have been discovered and studied, and many of them take some natural mechanisms and processes as a model, or directly use di erent elements from nature to serve its purposes. For instance, in molecular communications, the information is encoded in tiny particles secreted by the emitter. In this work, a special case of molecular communications is studied and modeled. Quorum Sensing is a mechanism used by bacteria to sense their own population and coordinate or synchronize their actions, through the emission and sensing of molecules called autoinducers. The behavior of each bacterium involved featuring Quorum Sensing is modeled as an individual nite state automaton, capturing its course of action. Later, the design of a novel nanomachine that will include Quorum Sensing is presented, along with its applications. Mainly, Quorum Sensing will serve to synchronize the processes of a group of nanodevices, and this idea is developed to present \Collective Actuation Synchronization" and \Collective Actuation after Localized Sensing" nanomachines. Finally, these con gurations are implemented and simulated, and the results are later discussed.

Speaking at the Cheltenham Literature Festival, the Richard and Judy host, said: "We are currently living in a celebrity culture driven by shows like X Factor.
"Kids really think they can get fame overnight because, just very occasionally, they see it happen. It is very dangerous for them because it sets them up for massive disappointment."
He said too many young people are being persuaded they have talent when they do not, and they are misled into seeking pop fame when they have no chance of success.
He also said there was too much expectation on young people to go to university, whether or not it is the right decision.
"University is not for everyone, yet it's become a kind of default setting," he said.
"My daughter Chloe, who is 21, followed her brother to Leeds University.
"She was there for two thirds of a term and she phoned and said 'I'm coming home.'
"She said the work was fine and she was having a lovely social life but at the end of it she did not think she would have developed at all as a person and she wanted to get home and find a job.
"We applauded her decision. She is OK now - she is not working as often as she would like but she is on the fringes of the media and we are proud of her."

Dr. William Gill, head of neonatology at Tulane University Medical Center, has seen the effects respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) can have on babies, particularly those born prematurely. It is so common that most children contract it by the age of 2. This winter, RSV reached epidemic proportions in Louisiana, but vigilance and proper treatment can keep things under control, says Gill, who also is medical director of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Lakeside Hospital and co-medical director of the NICU at University Hospital.
Dr. William Gill is working on reducing RSV infection, especially in babies.
Q: What is RSV?
A: It's a very common virus and is especially dangerous for babies, particularly pre-term babies. It's common in the wintertime; it comes on in late fall, usually October, and finishes in February and March. It is a particularly a problem because we don't have an effective vaccine against this virus. In 1962-63 a vaccine was produced. We gave the vaccine to kids, and when the wintertime hit and the RSV peaked, the kids who got the vaccine got sicker than those who didn't. It really soured people on trying to do anything for prevention. We were very concerned (about that). With the premature babies that have to be put on ventilators, they were very susceptible. They get bronchiolitis; they start wheezing and having increased respiratory distress and increased secretions, which block their airways. Sometimes they have to ... be put back on the ventilator.
Q: What are the symptoms?
It starts off with a cold, lots of mucus, progressive cough and wheezing. Wheezing is a prolonged exhalation phase where they wheeze with the air coming out and have marked difficulty breathing. The bigger kids, full-term babies, have bigger airways; it's less likely they will have to go on a ventilator, but it sill causes a lot of respiratory difficulties.
Q: What ages or conditions make someone more susceptible?>
A: The largest number of kids who get RSV are pre-term babies, which is why we really need a vaccine. They are the most susceptible to severe infection.
Q: What can you do in the absence of a vaccine?
A: MedImmune developed a monoclonal antibody. They gave the respiratory syncytial virus to a laboratory animal and found on that mouse's immunoglobulin (used by the immune system to identify and neutralize viruses and other foreign objects), the place where that mouse developed immunity to the virus. With genetic engineering, they transposed that onto a human immunoglobulin. We can now give the premature babies the monoclonal antibody — palivizumab, commonly called Synagis — and it will get the baby's immunity in the blood up. Babies who get that injection and (additional) monthly injections through March will keep them from getting a severe enough case to go back in the hospital, or worse. It simply protects against the baby from getting the virus (by using its own immune system). It's expensive, about $1,000 an injection ... but less expensive than the baby going back into the hospital, which can cost about $30,000. At Tulane we give it to all preemies before they leave the hospital, then the parents have to bring them back every month for another shot. (Synagis only remains effective for 28 to 30 days.) We certainly want to emphasize to the parents of babies who are born premature and those who have complex congenital heart disease to get their monthly injection, because it's very effective and can keep them from getting the condition so badly that they have to go back on a ventilator — or possibly lose their lives.
Our hope is that a vaccine will become available in the future that will be able to affect all children. The other thing we're hoping for is a monoclonal antibody that lasts longer than a month.
Q: What are the long-term effects, if any?
A: You always worry whether the child will go on to have wheezing problems and bronchospasms and develop asthma.
Q: How dangerous is RSV, compared to influenza and other respiratory illnesses?
A: For premature babies and kids with congenital heart disease, it is as dangerous as influenza. Kids are the reservoir for the virus. By the time a child is 3, almost all of them have had exposure to RSV and are going to start building antibodies to it, and the disease will be less and less severe. It's still around, it just becomes less of a problem.
Q: The Centers for Disease Control reports RSV is an epidemic in Louisiana with three out of 10 babies tested found to be infected.
A: It is our leading viral (infection). The last report that I saw was that 29 percent of all the viral isolates (viruses found in specimens taken from patients) coming out of children is RSV. It reflects pretty much what is going on with our state.

Growth of average wages slows further in third quarter ({{commentsTotal}})
Monthly gross wages and salaries in Estonia averaged 1,119 euros in the third quarter of 2016, marking a 7.1 increase compared to the same period last year but a decline of 3.8 percent against the second quarter of this year, Statistics Estonia reported.
The average monthly gross pay was 1,126 euros in July, 1,101 euros in August and 1,129 euros in September of this year. The slowdown of the rise in average wages was mainly due to a decrease in irregular bonuses and premiums and an increase in the number of paid leave days, Statistics Estonia said. Irregular bonuses and premiums excluded, the average monthly gross wages and salaries fell 2.6 percent compared to the previous quarter.
Irregular bonuses and premiums decreased 38.6 percent per employee compared to the second quarter of 2016, but increased 10.8 percent per employee compared to the third quarter of 2015.
Real wages, which take into account the influence of the change in the consumer price index, increased slower than the average monthly gross pay — by 6.7 percent — in the third quarter of 2016 compared to the third quarter of 2015 due to an increase in consumer prices. Compared to the same quarter of the previous year, real wages have been on the rise since the second half of 2011.
Average monthly pay in Estonia continued to be the highest in the information and communications as well as the financial and insurance sectors. Compared to the same period last year, gross wages rose in almost all economic sectors except mining and quarrying.
Compared to the third quarter of 2015, gross wages rose the most in administrative and support service activities and in real estate activities — by 18.3 percent and 15.3 percent, respectively. Above-average growth was also recorded in agriculture, forestry and fishing, information and communications and in other service activities.
Year-on-year growth of average monthly gross wages and salaries was the fastest in the private sector at 8.6 percent. A faster than average increase occurred in local governments as well, where the average monthly gross wages and salaries were the lowest. The slowest increase in monthly gross wages and salaries was recorded in state institutions.
By county, third quarter average wages were highest in Harju and Tartu Counties at 1,253 euros and 1,105 euros, respectively, and lowest in Southern Estonia's Põlva County at 808 euros; Tartu County saw the most rapid increase in monthly wages as well, while slight year-on-year decreases were recorded in Hiiu and Rapla Counties.
According to Statistics Estonia's wage statistics survey, the number of employees converted to full-time employment decreased by 1.8 percent compared to the second quarter of 2016 and by 2.1 percent compared to the third quarter of last year.

CatalySystems is a small UK company offering a new suite of water decontamination systems to meet the needs of global industries to comply with ever tighter environmental restrictions, and to reduce increasing operational costs on wastewater handling and treatment.
CatalySystems is applying its advanced water decontamination systems to:
- Industrial wastewater reuse / recycling, providing cost, efficiencies on the operation of industrial plant.
- Future-proofing against environmental discharge violations.
Unlike traditional water treatment techniques that merely concentrate the contaminant for later disposal, this unique and protected technology, which is 100% owned by CatalySystems, is a low-energy, sustainable system that completely destroys soluble contaminants and eradicates water-borne bacteria such as those responsible for Legionnaires disease.
Founded in May 2009, CatalySystems is positioning itself to become established as the leading developer & supplier of advanced reactor units for water decontamination & a leading supply-chain partner for major third party corporations.
In its first year of operations, CatalySystems filed its own platform IP & generated significant early sales revenues from a global metal manufacturing client in independently verified technology-proving field trials.
In February 2011, the Company secured £130k of funding from the NE POC Fund.
In April 2011, CatalySystems, moved in to the purpose-built Innovation Accelerator, which allowed it to ramp up its development activity to design & produce 2-5m3/hr mobile units which have successfully proven the capabilities of the Company's patent protected technology, for effective treatment through independently verified field-trials.
In July 2012 the Company secured £960k from a consortium led by IP Group, 2 private investors, and follow-on investment from NETF.
In September 2012 – patent granted through UK Green Channel route.
In November 2012, the Company moved from the Innovation Accelerator to larger premises on the Wilton site in line with its future growth plans. This includes a dedicated laboratory area, a separate larger testing/assembly workshop area, and offices.
CatalySystems at the Innovation Accelerator
The facilities at Innovation Accelerator allowed the company to relocate itself into fit-for-purpose premises, where development work and demonstration pilot plant could be set-up and tested. The Innovation Accelerator provided an excellent opportunity for CatalySystems to rapidly implement its development plan during 2011.
In addition, the centre itself provides excellent and very convenient amenities enabling CatalySystems to host visits and meetings.
The Innovation Accelerator team provided support and guidance which assisted CatalySystems in achieving its initial £130k funding under the NE Proof of Concept fund.
The Innovation Accelerator provided a natural base, to allow a young process engineering company to get established, and provide suitable grow-on space within the same location.

UI helmets show some flash
CHAMPAIGN — The Illinois helmets that fans have become accustomed to seeing are no more.
The orange helmets with white facemasks and Illinois underlined in italicized white lettering — helmets the program started wearing in 1989, Jeff George's final season with the Illini and last worn during the 2012 season opener against Western Michigan — are not in the team's wardrobe plans anymore.
A new orange helmet with a navy blue Block I and navy blue facemasks will replace the other helmets, Illinois sports information director Kent Brown said.
The new helmets are the primary team helmets for Illinois during the 2013 season.
Illinois unveiled new helmets last year with a matte navy blue look that sported an orange Block I in the middle and navy blue facemasks. Those helmets will become the team's secondary helmets during the 2013 season.
The school is undergoing a rebranding initiative with Nike that should have the football team in new attire for the 2014 season, with an announcement about that project set for spring 2014, Brown said. No other major uniform changes are in the works for the 2013 season. Illinois featured nine different uniform combinations in 2012 when the helmet, jersey top and pants are put together.
Updated uniforms and helmets, along with many varieties, are a common trend that has touched nearly every college football program recently. Illinois recruiting coordinator Alex Golesh thinks incoming recruits are paying attention to what schools do regarding uniforms more than they have in the past.
"It's become less of a tradition look now and more of a flashy look," he said. "The more you have, the more it helps. I'm a little bit surprised. The shift has changed to 'How can we be different?' rather than 'How can we embrace our tradition?' "
Tight end Evan Wilson has seen and worn the different jerseys Illinois has used since he arrived at Illinois prior to the 2010 season.
The senior is all for the new helmets, even if Illinois might only use them for one season.
"I like them," Wilson said. "I like change. I'm all about a little diversity. A little variety doesn't hurt anybody."
