A beautiful bronze shipbuilders plaque from Bilbao, Spain, ship hull number 265 and dated 1974. The embossed letters on the plaque state "ASTILLEROS ESPANOLES S.A. FACTORIA DE OLAVEAGA, NO 265, 1974, BILBAO" with the shipbuilding company flag in the center.
Astilleros Espanoles SA, known by the acronym AESA was a shipbuilding company Spanish founded in 1969 by the merger of private shipyards Company Euskalduna Shipbuilding and the Spanish Society of Naval Construction, and public shipyards in Cadiz , formerly shipyard Echevarrieta and Larrinaga, owned by Horacio Echevarrieta .It was created to compete with the construction of large oil tankers. In July 2000, AESA merged with public military shipyards Empresa Nacional Bazan, leading to IZAR.
When the maritime past of Bilbao is remembered, it tends to evoke the great fishing, commercial and shipbuilding tradition that has always existed on the banks of the river. The small neighborhood of Olabeaga is located next to the river and is part of the parish of Abando.
The plaque survives in good condition and retains a wonderful old bronze patina. Measures 14 1/4 X 17 1/4 inches and has four mounting holes with one in each corner. Weighs 19 pounds.

Sorry, this product has now been discontinued.
* Sale, was £70.00
* Glamorous knee length robe in the softest satin with contrasting piping
* Wide self tie belt, 1950s style bracelet length sleeves
* Vintage-style portrait collar to frame your face and decolletage
* Knee-length skirt is full and flares from the nipped-in waist
* Made from 100% polyester (This peach matches our Hollywood Cami Knicker and CC09 French Knickers but is slightly lighter than our other peach lingerie)
We designed our Hollywood loungewear with vintage starlets in mind. The silver screen queens of the 1940s were unfailingly glamorous in every way, both at work and at leisure.
We wanted to create something that would make any girl feel like a movie star in between takes, and our light satin Hollywood robe is just the ticket! It's the picture of timeless elegance, with bracelet length sleeves, a beautifully long tie and vintage-style portrait collar to frame your face and decolletage, all trimmed with contrasting piping for added drama. The knee-length skirt is full and flares from the nipped-in waist, designed to swish and whisper suggestively as you sashay past. We think this gown is truly worthy of a box office smash.
Our black Hollywood robe features contrasting satin piping in peach, while the peach robe features chocolate satin piping. Wear with our matching Hollywood Cami Knicker to complete your ensemble.

This is a lovely dressing gown, its great to just throw on!
I wear with my camiknicker lounge wear and looks fabulous!
Tan028792427, 18 Sep 2016
Lovely lovely dressing gown - a Christmas present (along with an amazing Vivien set!). It looks sooo sexy - a gorgeous "getting glamorously ready" gown! Don't be tempted (as I advised my husband - doh!) to go down a size. It fitted - but it fitted even better a size bigger (my WKD knicker size!). I'm 36/27/38 and size 12 was PERFECT! Easy peasy return and exchange policy and a super-quick redelivery - thank you WKD!
daphnemabel, 15 Jan 2016
I just received my peach dressing gown and it is beautiful! It is a very light fabric, not suitable for cold months, but flattering and very classy. I appreciate how it has the main fastener/tie, and then a smaller one inside to help prevent the robe from flying open too far. The robe I received is slightly lighter peach than the normal WKD peach lingerie, but it is beautiful nonetheless.
Virvada, 09 Dec 2015
Hello can you kindly advise I bought one of your Hollywood style dressing gowns, in peach, but when it arrived it was more like a pale yellow, and not peach at all, the peach I was expecting was like your peach underwear and peach mules, so I was disappointed can you let me know if this was a bad batch and I can return it for another one in Peach please..... Its never been worn for this reason as dosent match, anything.... Kindest Regards Rockinretro...
Hi there! I'm sorry to hear you weren't happy with the shade of the Robe. I've sent you an email, so we can resolve this together! Hannah
Kar875948074, 13 Aug 2014
I ordered this robe for wearing on the morning of my wedding whilst I'm getting ready as it's lightweight and so very feminine! The fit and detail is so beautiful and figure-flattering - highly recommended.
Bee549763751, 11 Jul 2014
I have been looking for a robe like this for the longest time. I am so happy I found it. It has that charming retro style and very feminine. I ordered the peach which is the perfect shade for my skin tone. The fit is very generous. I'm usually a dress size 12 or 14, 5'6" but the size 10 robe fit me perfectly. Going to feel like a queen on my wedding day!
Lil712685387, 06 Jun 2014
This is the most beautiful thing I own, every time I wear it I feel so glamorous and I cannot praise this high enough.

Like the cedars of Lebanon, he came from small humble beginnings, soared tall above his peers and contemporaries, established firm foundations, flourished through generations, and finally left the stage, a complete emblem of fulfillment. Chief Emmanuel Nweke Ezeokwelume finally returned to his creator, with a good account of his stewardship on earth.
Born 90 years ago in Egbengu Nimo, in Njikoka L.G.A Anambra State of Nigeria, Chief Emmanuel embraced Christianity at a time when the environs were shrouded in idolatry. A devout Catholic and a farmer, he made a name for himself through agriculture, proving to all that the way to success is hard-work and integrity, no matter one's vocation.
Retiring home from Delta State after his accomplishments as a youth, Chief Emmanuel became the encyclopedic repository of the truths and roots of the history of Egbengu community in Nimo, being the oldest surviving son of Ezeokwelume clan in Nimo. He was the final seat of judgment for all who sought honest resolutions to ancestral issues without bias.
Even in his old age, Chief Emmanuel remained zealous for God, and still oversaw the baptism of new converts to Christianity. He left a legacy of favour and respect for his many children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, all of whom he had set on the foundation of western education and gainful self-employment, even though he did not attend school himself.
We say adieu to Ogbuefi Ogiazi, Adieu papa, Adieu Uncle, we will try and fit in the big shoes you left behind for us!
Burial Arrangements: Chief Emmanuel will be buried at his compound in Egbengu Nimo L.G.A of Anambra State on Friday 24th of June 2016, after a requiem high mass at the same compound.
His family will receive condolence visits Saturday 25th June while on Sunday 26th June, there will be an outing mass at St. Mary's Catholic Church Nimo.

text: Mas, I have recently heard some recent second-hand reports of Pow-r-ball (likely 9mm, but I am not 100%) tumbling upon impact in SD shootings. Considering the reputation of this round as a consistent-opening one (combined with what I would think would be the very low likelyhood of a handgun round tumbling to begin with), I found this curious. Have you come across any similar reports, or does this sound like garbage? Also, I just picked up a Glock 32 as a second EDC for when my H&K USP is a little too large to conceal. I also got a small quantity of both Ranger and Gold Dot JHP for this round, as they both have a reputation of great performance in the 9mm versions. Any thoughts on .357SIG SD ammo, or have I already made a great choice in either of those rounds? Thanks in advance.

Love match 2016 Horoscope Prediction
According to astrology the love and compatibility between two individuals depends on their individual horoscopes or zodiac signs. If their love horoscope is favorable and compatible, the couple will have a healthy relationship and lead a happy life throughout. On the contrary, if their love horoscope is not compatible to each other, it will have a negative impact on the relationship, leading to an unhappy and complicated life.
The traditional Indian astrology tells that the respective astrological compatibility controls the love horoscope of any person. In simple words, the love horoscope of the person is determined by the biological and natural horoscope of that person. Not only these but also the natal horoscopes of the person, are considered while determining the love horoscope of the person. In doing so, the planets, constellations and zodiac stars; and their relationship are determined to prepare the chart.
The love horoscope of a person indicates the probability of possible matrimony. It is made with consideration of the planets, stars and the constellations and their positions when a person is born. However, it is also a fact that love horoscopes should not be considered as an absolute fact or truth, rather only a guide. This is because along with time, every individual acquires traits that affect the characteristics and the predictions. Although there is a misconception that people from the same zodiac sign have a better love compatibility, it is not the truth. But of course, Indian traditional astrology has an extremely strong impact in determining whether the horoscope indicates towards the chance of getting well with social and personal relationships like friendship and love. Therefore, consideration of the zodiac sign and the horoscope love compatibility can be proven advantageous for every individual person.

While some were probably hoping to see WWE Superstar Paige in the ring at WrestleMania 33 in Orlando, Florida, it doesn't look like that is going to happen. PWInsider.com is reporting that, following Paige's neck surgery back in October, she will not be ready to go in time for WM 33. So, when will she be back?
Well, Paige met with WWE officials last week to discuss her injury status and it is being said that officials are treating her injury as a"touch and go" situation and they don't want to take any chances with it. Therefore, until it is fully healed, they don't want her taking any hits or bumps.
Which means that there is, at this point, no firm return date set. Which sucks for her fans who want to see her in action. But obviously her health is the most important thing.

Having fallen in love with the Montane Flux Jacket during a shopping trip to Manchester I started to put the cash together for a £140 purchase. Upon doing a quick internet search I came across outdoorgb who advertised a delivered price of £91. Too good to be true I said - but no, the item delivered is exactly what it said it would be. Fantastic price, great service. I will not only be back but will recommend to anyone who will listen!!!!!!
I will submit a further review when the Flux has been put to the test.

BANEA Annual Conference
Glasgow, 4-6 January 2017
The University of Glasgow and the University of Edinburgh are proud to co-host the Annual Conference of the British Association for Near Eastern Archaeology with the overall theme of
Grand Challenges and Blue Skies in the Study of the Ancient Near East
Archaeology once again finds itself in a phase of intense self-reflection, in Britain and internationally. This takes the form of foundational debates currently being held at the British Academy, in individual departments and in print: What is the purpose and nature of archaeological research? What is and what should be archaeology's status, contribution and opportunities in inter-disciplinary collaborations? How can we address our discipline's increasingly precarious institutional footing? The study of the Ancient Near East shares many of these challenges and at the same time is exceptionally well placed to address some of the longest-standing 'Big Questions' about the nature of human societies. It ought, thus, to claim a leading role in this wider discourse. At the same time, Ancient Near Eastern Studies and archaeology in particular face some of the greatest challenges that will require us to fundamentally rethink present and future disciplinary practice. These run the gambit from geographical inaccessibility and the looting and trafficking of antiquities in war zones to a profound gender imbalance in academic and field-work settings. The aim of BANEA 2017 is to provide a forum for reflection and discussion of these and other major challenges and opportunities arising in the study of the Ancient Near East.
We are very pleased to announce that our plenary speaker will be Prof. Susan Pollock (Freie Universität Berlin).
Read more about our Session Themes here.
Conference fee: £70 (£40 for students)
Please note that all conference attendees must be BANEA members: £15 full membership, £7.50 student membership
Session and workshop proposals: 15 September 2016
Paper and poster abstracts: 31 October 2016
Titles and abstracts (max. 200 words) should be sent to email@example.com.
Session/workshop proposals must include a list of agreed speakers, titles and abstracts.

Withdrew 1000$ cad on September 14/2014 now and still received no payment. As of 5 days ago they actually locked my account . Everyday I inquire, they say "be patient" you'll be paid Friday, then Friday comes and that changes to next week, so on and so forth, every excuse ever conceived.
Dear @Ryanstarz,
Any update considering your complaint? Thank you.
No email replies at all, live help " oh you will be paid next week" "be patient" or just completely ignored. They also locked my account, and say that they can't reopen it from live help and to send emails. All of which I get no response to.
Dear @Ryanstarz,
We got information from casino that they paid your winnings, can you please confirm this? Thank you.
Just checked accounts , no monies there so far. Travelling abroad right now, will update again when I get home if anything changes.
We have Paid.
Just checked accounts, no payment thus far. It is Monday morning, so may show up sometime in next 48 hours. I have received no email from euro play stating I've been paid, or that my account has been reopened. If anything changes I'll post immediately. If I have been paid, thanks ..
If casino informed you on 4th that the payment was made, I would have expected to see it in my bank by now I'm thinking. No monies received yet and no emails from euro play.
No payment. No change, no email, account still closed. Live support completely ignores me once I've stated my account number.
Here is live help now saying I haven't been paid.
All screenshots submitted. These guys are full of crap lol.

Best Bets: Fourth annual 'Party in the Park' with Hairball
It's the ultimate arena rock mishmash: Axl's snaky hips and glass-cracking falsetto meets Def Leppard's pyrotechnics meets Ozzie's thing for animals and it's all wrapped in Prince's favorite blouse.

The band channels hairband faves like KISS, Motley Crue, Journey, Aerosmith and more with its classic hits and frequent wardrobe changes.
Arch Allies, a tribute band that covers Styx, Journey and REO Speedwagon, opens. Also in the lineup, a newbie to the local stage: Junk FM. The band covers an eclectic mix of seemingly unrelated musical acts including Jet, Robin Thicke, Green Day, House of Pain, Johnny Cash and Bruno Mars.
Go see it
What: Party in the Park with Hairball
When: 6 tonight

I feel like like I'm in an AA meeting for bringing this up, but....My name is El Jefe, and I really like PF Chang's.
This is embarrassing for someone who has spent their culinary lives unrelentingly punishing chain restaurants of all types. To make matters worse, I like the most touristy of all dishes like Chicken Lettuce Cups and Kung Pao Chicken. Part of it is thanks to LA's dearth of good Chinese, I have to make a Homerian Odyssey to SGV for decent, authentic, Chinese. But it's more than just that.
And yet, I feel like there are others like me out there. Others have whispered they have similar opinions on PF Chang's, in dark alleys, fearing that their cover will be blown as well. Anyone want to make any confessions?

Thrombophlebitis is inflammation of a vein that's caused by a blood clot. It typically occurs in the legs. A blood clot is a solid formation of blood cells that clump together. Blood clots can interfere with the normal flow of blood throughout your body. Therefore, they're considered dangerous. Thrombophlebitis can occur in veins near the surface of your skin or deeper down in between your muscle layers.
Although this condition usually occurs in your legs, it's possible to develop thrombophlebitis in other parts of your body. Blood clots can cause swelling in the veins of your neck or arms, but this is rare.
The two types of thrombophlebitis are deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and superficial thrombophlebitis. DVT occurs when you develop a blood clot in a vein deep in your body. Thrombophlebitis that affects veins closer to the surface of your skin is known as superficial thrombophlebitis. DVT is always more serious than superficial thrombophlebitis.
You might not notice any major or seemingly serious symptoms if you have thrombophlebitis. Minor swelling in the leg or a reddened, tender vein may cause discomfort. This doesn't mean that it's safe to ignore the condition. If DVT isn't treated, it can lead to a pulmonary embolism (PE), or a blood clot in your lungs. A PE can be life-threatening.
Thrombophlebitis is caused by a blood clot. Inactivity, such as being bedridden after trauma or surgery, is a major cause of blood clots. You can develop a blood clot if you sit still for too long, such as during a plane ride or a car ride. Standing up, stretching, and moving your feet periodically during long flights or car rides can help reduce your risk of blood clots. Movement promotes circulation, which discourages the blood cells from sticking together.
You might also develop blood clots if you have somehow injured your blood vessels. Trauma to the limb in question may cause injury to a vein. You may also sustain injury to a blood vessel from intravenous (IV) needles or catheters during a medical procedure. This type of injury, however, is a less common cause of blood clots.
Some people have diseases or disorders that cause the blood to clot more easily, such as:
This makes thrombophlebitis more likely.
The following also increase your risk of blood clots:
The symptoms of thrombophlebitis depend partly on which kind you have. You can experience the following symptoms near the affected area if you have either kind of thrombophlebitis:
Superficial thrombophlebitis sometimes causes the affected vein to become visibly engorged and red.
DVT is less visible than thrombophlebitis because the affected vein is further from the surface of the skin. However, it's likely you'll still have the other symptoms of thrombophlebitis. Additionally, your toes or fingers on the affected limb may become discolored and turn blue. The pain will probably be worse when you put weight on your leg. In rare cases, you might develop a fever with chills.
In some cases, your doctor won't need to do any major tests to identify the problem. The appearance of the area and your description of your symptoms may be enough to diagnose this condition.
If this isn't enough, your doctor may try to use an imaging technique to see whether a clot is present. Options include an ultrasound, a CT scan, and an MRI scan. Amongst these tests, ultrasound is the most frequently used to diagnose DVTs.
In other cases, your doctor might choose to perform a venogram. This involves injecting a dye, which shows up on X-rays, into your vein. Your doctor will then take X-ray images to see whether you have a clot.
Your doctor might recommend that you take care of your condition at home if you have superficial thrombophlebitis. They'll give you instructions that may include:
Your doctor might need to remove the vein if the one with superficial thrombophlebitis becomes permanently unsightly or painful, or if you have this condition in the same vein more than once. This is known as varicose vein stripping. This type of procedure shouldn't affect your circulation. Some veins deeper in the leg can handle the increased amount of blood flow. The blood will simply begin to flow through those.
In other cases, especially if you have DVT, you might need to take medications. These medications include anticoagulants, which thin your blood and thrombolytics, which dissolve clots. Your doctor may also inject the medication directly into your vein.
You may not be able to take blood-thinning medications. If this is the case, your doctor may need to insert a permanent filter into the main vein in your abdomen to prevent loose clots from reaching your lungs and causing a PE.
In some cases, your doctor may need to remove the clot or open up your blocked vein through bypass surgery or angioplasty.
Bypass surgery involves taking a piece of a healthy vein and attaching it to the blocked vein through two small holes. The blood will then flow through this newly attached vein, bypassing the blocked one.
Recent research has included using angioplasty on larger veins, where your doctor inserts a balloon-tipped tube into the blocked vein. Once the tube reaches the blockage, your doctor inflates the balloon on the tip to open up the vein. They then remove the tube. Your doctor may need to insert a wire mesh tube called a stent into your vein to keep it permanently open.
Stretch or walk around regularly if you sit at a desk for long periods or if you're taking a long trip in a car or airplane. Sitting still for too long can lead to thrombophlebitis.
Your doctor will change your IV lines regularly if you're in the hospital. They might also give you medications to help prevent thrombophlebitis depending on your condition and other factors.

In this review, two main dietary patterns were identified: a healthful pattern and what the researchers called the Western pattern. The healthful pattern was characterized by a high intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fish, while the Western pattern was characterized by high intake of refined grains, processed meats, high sugar and high fat products.
Comparing highest to lowest adherence to these patterns, researchers found that adherence to the healthful diet was associated with a significant 16% lower risk of depression. There was a nonsignificant trend toward a higher risk of depression associated with the Western diet, but this nonsignificant finding may be due to lack of high-quality studies on this dietary pattern.
There are several ways a healthful diet could reduce the risk of depression: anti-inflammatory properties influence concentrations of monoamines; antioxidants reduce damage to neurons; omega-3 fatty acids have been associated with lower depression; or the reduced risk could be due to the cumulative effect of all these components.
What's unclear from the review is which came first, a healthful diet or a lower risk of depression. That is, did eating well improve people's mental health, or did people with better mental health find it easier to make good food choices? Either way, you're certainly not going to feel worse by regularly eating a diet high in produce and whole grains.

Roaste.com: A Website for Coffee Cognoscenti
Three years ago, Frank Lanzkron-Tamarazo traded a 15-year career as a cantor singing prayers in a synagogue for roasting beans at Chazzano, a company he started after a friend suggested he follow his passion. While his Ferndale (Mich.) roastery and cafe have steadily gained traction, Lanzkron-Tamarazo wanted to expand beyond his local market without diminishing the time he had for roasting exotic varietals. He mulled franchising but realized he needed to establish a national brand first.
To boost his profile among coffee cognoscenti, he began selling on the website Roaste.com. The specialty marketplace has some 2,200 coffees from more than 100 vendors and expects an additional 150 roasters by yearend. Lanzkron-Tamarazo says online sales have quadrupled since he first started selling on Roaste in 2008, accounting for about $36,000 a year, roughly 5 percent of Chazzano's revenue. "I'm not getting the same prices that I get from someone walking in off the street or even with my own website, but the exposure is worth more than I can quantify," he says.
Three-year-old Roaste (pronounced ROAST-ee), which relaunched with an expanded site in April, surpassed the 10,000 customer mark in July. Founders Scott Lush, 43, and Eyal Rosen, 40, say a goal of the redesign was to increase the site's sense of community. Users can now write reviews and gossip with fellow coffee lovers on blogs; one contributor praises an espresso blend for its "buttery mouthfeel," while another sounds off on an Ethiopian organic for its "unpleasant smoky bergamot" flavor. Lush and Rosen, who discovered a shared love of coffee while working at Alcatel-Lucent eight years ago, started the company in their Boston homes. They expect to triple revenue, to $3 million, next year. Although the seven-employee company, which has raised $1 million from angel investors, isn't yet profitable, Lush aims to get an additional $5 million in financing by December. "Starbucks raised expectations for gourmet coffee but hasn't given people a place to go after they've had their thousandth pumpkin-spice, half-caf latte," says Lush. "There needs to be a destination website … for gourmet coffee."
Will java snobs, accustomed to buying from their local coffee shop, place enough online orders to please the bean counters at the roasters? Ric Rhinehart, executive director of the Specialty Coffee Association of America, thinks so. Home consumption jumped during the recession, he says, but dropped last year as people returned to favorite cafes. He estimates the 3,000 independent roasters account for about $6 billion of the nearly $37 billion U.S. retail coffee market, though many are having trouble getting financing and have been hurt by rising prices for beans. Rhinehart says early online coffee marketplaces simply supplied offices with standard brews. "Roaste's got a little more evolved business model and a little tighter focus on who they want to sell to," he says. "They want to sell to an informed consumer."
Roaste keeps up to half the retail price of coffee sold on the site, roasters say, a figure Lush declines to confirm. When an order comes in, Roaste sends the vendor an e-mail with the customer's address. Most then roast the beans within hours and drop the package in the mail the same day. They get prepaid postage labels from Roaste, which also handles returns. "It's very convenient for me—like, brainless," says Tracy Swanson, who oversees marketing for Avion Coffee in Hayden, Idaho. Swanson is using Roaste to expand her $200,000 wholesale business into online retail and says her sales on the site have doubled annually since she signed up in 2008.
Although Roaste still accounts for a small part of most roasters' sales, Lush says he can help change the economics of the roasting business. Small coffee roasters "were slammed the past 20 years by Starbucks, Caribou, Seattle's Best, and other megabrands," he says. Lush aims to help little guys fight back by letting them reach a much larger clientele. And he claims his focus on coffee connoisseurs gives Roaste an advantage over rivals such as Amazon.com, which says it has more than tripled its coffee business since 2008.
Gary Strawn believes Lush's strategy is working. Strawn operates a 13-acre farm in Kona, Hawaii, and sells about 5 percent of his crop on Roaste. "I'm a farmer—that's my primary job. My second job is trying to sell the coffee, and I'm not nearly as good at that," he says. "It's great to go through someone like Roaste, because that's what they do full-time."
The bottom line: Online marketplace Roaste.com expects to triple sales next year by connecting coffee lovers and gourmet roasters.

Kane Jamison
There are a great number of different approaches to content marketing out there. All of them include continuously producing relevant content, which isn't wrong at all. However, what if there was another way to do things? What if content marketing could be done in a much simpler (and more time-efficient) way?
I had a chat with Kane Jamison, the founder of Content Harmony, a company based in Seattle. Content Harmony does the full range of content marketing from the strategy to creating and promoting the content. Kane told me about a different approach to content marketing that I haven't heard many people talk about—and it is just brilliant!
To set the scene, Kane started by explaining how e-commercers can benefit from content marketing. The way he put it, e-commerce companies have a number of content marketing opportunities, including product conversion and helping buyers make the right choice and informing them. The other area is content related to lifestyle, so it is not necessarily for your goods and pushing a purchase, but it ties into you brand with a broader message.
If you are selling products to gardeners, tell readers how to be successful gardeners or inspire people to do more gardening.
Here are the major takeaways from the Kane Jamison interview
- Evergreen content is incredible. Create a piece of content that will stay relevant and useful for a long time, so you only have to update it yearly.
- Analyse you audience's needs and your competitors' Find out what they want and create content that tops everything else out there.
- Promote your content in every way possible – in the media you own, the media you have earned, and the media you pay for.
Want to make successful content promotion? Here's how!
Promoting your content right is a big part of content marketing. Kane Jamison has years of experience with identifying the most effective ways of content promotion. Get them here and start right now!
What content marketing strategy is the way to go?
According to Kane, the ideal content marketing strategy is a large format piece of content with multiple pages, maybe a printable section, and most importantly: content that can be updated once a year and still be relevant. It should tie in with conversion and what the company is selling but still be informative and entertaining.
As an example, check out AirBnB's neighbourhood guide. Here, you can read about multiple areas, check out photos from different locations, and read notes or recommendations. That content is super useful and done better than similar companies. You can keep using and benefit from the guide – and it all ties in with the product: hotels and places to stay.
The magic of evergreen content
Evergreen content is amazing because it is always relevant, and you don't have to keep creating new content – just update your existing information. Kane said that it is a matter of finding a balance and focusing on things that are long lasting – fashion keeps changing over the years, so that is a bit harder but, still, not impossible.
A prime example of evergreen content is Blue Nile's guide to buying an engagement ring. As you have probably figured, Blue Nile is a jeweller, so they are obviously selling wedding rings. The guide is a great idea because people will always buy wedding rings, it will keep happening, and it is always going to be a challenging task with a lot of things to consider. This guide helps couples through choosing the design, the sizing, talking about the budget, and so forth.
Great content – what is it?
It is obvious that your content has to be great – but what is great content? Kane has experienced that the word gets thrown around a lot, but it is never really described. At conferences and events, everyone keeps talking about 'the great content' but no one ever gets into details about it. Luckily, Kane did – listen to his definition of great content:
Be the best
So, once you have your content marketing strategy clear, the next step is to look outwards. Who is doing the same? How can you be significantly better than them? How can you top Blue Nile's guide? Maybe you could change up the media, be more interactive, more graphics, or maybe just do the same thing with a fresh design and new angles or a fresh twist.
Your content should tick off a long list of boxes such as:
- Good content formatting
- Clean and good layout
- High audio/visual quality
- Easy to read on multiple devices
You're in luck because Kane has done a presentation called 30 Ways To Move Beyond Basic Content, with more things to consider, when creating content.
Trends: To follow or not to follow
Kane recommends you to stay away from trends. Whenever he notices a trend, he tries to go in the opposite direction. You should just analyse the competitors and find out what you can do differently than them. Kane has summed up the things you shouldn't do, as he has seen ecommercers try all of the following things without much success. Find out what to be aware of:
On top of the things Kane mentioned above, it is quite common for bloggers, especially, to do very short formed content at around 200-300 words, with no images, and nothing special to it. It can work okay for FAQ content, but it just isn't good enough for blog posts. It should be longer than that and ideally include useful graphics and images. An example of a high-quality blog post is this article by SmartMail.
Make your content pop
The content you create is going to stand out when you go beyond simple keywords searches and instead investigate what your customers actually want and what your audience is looking for. It is much more exciting to find out what they aren't looking for! You can find out by doing surveys to get even more personal.
You can also make your content shine by working on the promotional aspect. As Kane said, there are hundreds of excellent blogs on nearly every topic, and if you aren't already the dominant publisher, you can become that by doing aggressive promotions. On Facebook, you can target hyper-specific audiences – for example, women aged 50-60, gluten allergies, income, online shoppers, and so forth – based on the users' data.
Catch the possible audience for your particular topic, and get them to subscribe. Do everything you can to get them on your blog, maybe by offering them a free voucher for their first buy. The proactive promotion is the element that people are often missing.

No comments = failure?
There are always topics about which people are inspired to talk and share experiences. On the other hand, there are areas of content that won't get any comments. Kane said that if you are in a space where it just isn't happening, close down the comment section and write, at the end of your content, that if the readers want to comment, they can go to this or that other site.
On the social side, there are little things you can do to get more engagement.
To-die-for tools
These are some of the tools Kane recommended. They are super useful and incredibly easy to use.
- Shakr: Create short video clips, add you own text and music, and put your logo in; this tool is perfect for Facebook ads and content announcements
- Autopilot: For marketing automation
- Problogger: Find freelancers to help you with the writing process. Tell them what you need and find the one with expertise on the subject matter
Freelancer tip: Content Harmony works a lot with freelancers. Hear Kane's best tips on how to work with freelancers and how to pay them:
Wrap up
When reading this, it is very clear that there is still hope for everyone who doesn't feel like their content has made it just yet, or who has a hard time being dominant in a market. The key is to find out exactly what the audience wants and give it to them in the best way possible. Kane thinks that ecommercers should keep investigating the readers' needs – otherwise, the content isn't going to work.

Environmental Almanac: Work confirms worth of soil conservation practices
From a distance, it might seem there's little mystery involved with nutrient pollution in waterways that flow through the intensively farmed landscapes of the American Midwest. Farmers put fertilizer on fields, and some of it ends up in streams when it rains.
But how does it "end up" in streams?
To answer that question, you might want a detective. Or better still, a scientist who operates like one. Enter Conor Neal, who next week will receive a master's degree in geology from the University of Illinois.
Over the past year and a half, he has been working with Department of Geology Professor Alison Anders to figure out how one key nutrient, phosphorous, is transported from the surrounding landscape into the lower reach of Wildcat Slough, a tributary that feeds into the Sangamon River in the Sangamon River Forest Preserve just south of Fisher.
How does nutrient migration involve geology, you ask? It's in the fine sediment. As Neal and Anders explained it to me, some nutrients, such as nitrogen, dissolve easily in water and are thus carried in solution. Others, including phosphorous, prefer to attach to particles of soil. Fine sediment — defined by geologists as silt and clay — is the most important of these, since fine sediment particles offer so much surface area.
In short, says Neal: "Fine sediment carries phosphorous. Find the source of fine sediment in a stream, and you find the source of phosphorous."
The fieldwork for Neal's project was pretty straightforward. First, using satellite images he identified the six types of land cover in the watershed, 99 percent of which (literally) is devoted to row-crop agriculture. The five much smaller types included forested uplands, forested floodplain, pasture, channel banks and grass (where there is no apparent grazing).
Then he took samples of fine sediment from those areas. This involved digging up a sandwich bag's worth of soil with a garden trowel. These samples were to serve as a reference for samples of sediment taken from Wildcat Slough during spring floods (since that's when the water carries significant amounts of suspended sediment).
Finally, he collected suspended sediment from Wildcat Slough during heavy rains between March and June last year. He did so using a simple device called a sediment trap, which is a 4-foot piece of PVC pipe fitted with a cone-shaped nose that's anchored to a fencepost in the stream. As flowing water enters the trap through the nose, its velocity decreases dramatically, which causes whatever fine sediment it carries to drop out before it exits through a tube at the tail.
Like detectives, scientists often have a pretty good idea of what they're going to find when they begin an investigation. In the case of Neal's study, he and Anders both anticipated the fine sediment suspended in the lower reach of Wildcat Slough during spring floods would be traceable to the agricultural fields in the watershed — after all, that's where the bare soil is.
But Neal's analysis showed something very different; less than 5 percent of the fine sediment collected in the stream was traceable to farm fields. A much greater portion, roughly half, came directly from the channel banks, with the rest contributed by forested and grassy areas. Why that's so is a new mystery to be investigated.
What these results suggest, says Anders, is that the soil conservation practices employed by farmers in that part of the watershed are doing exactly what they're supposed to do, keeping the soil on the fields and out of the stream. In doing so, they're also preventing phosphorous from moving into the stream.
When we spoke, Neal emphasized his great debt of gratitude to the families who allowed him onto their land to do fieldwork; without their cooperation, such a study could not have been done.
Neal's project is a precursor to a much larger, five-year effort involving UI researchers from multiple disciplines. They will be collaborating with partners from other universities and conservation agencies to understand water, nutrient and sediment transport in the Upper Sangamon River Basin.
The ultimate success of this project, called the "Intensively Managed Landscapes Critical Zone Observatory," will also depend on partnerships with local landowners, farm operators, land managers and urban planners. I'll return to it here as it develops, but in the meantime more information is available at criticalzone.org/iml/.
Environmental Almanac is a service of the UI School of Earth, Society and Environment, where Kanter is communications coordinator. Environmental Almanac can be heard on WILL-AM 580 at 4:45 and 6:45 p.m. Thursdays.
