Let me start with a confession. I am not at all a data geek. I hate sitting all day in front of my computer and make all those spreadsheets that might make some sense to some people. I am pretty bad at math.
However, what I love are patterns. No matter how delicate the pattern is, the more motivated I become to reverse engineer that pattern.
This is why social media marketing started. Social media marketing is not just posting random stuff on social media profiles. There is a complete science behind it. Those catchy captions, funny GIFs, and hashtags are carefully crafted to steal your attention.
To create a strong social media presence, you must move away from a 'spray and pray' attitude, which will give you a bad reputation. Some marketers claim that there is no ROI on social media. The reason you don't see any improvement in ROI is that you are not analyzing the right matrices.
How can you improve something if you don't take some time to analyze it?
You can't.
Before we get any deeper, let's first ask the question and the reason behind this blog.
When do you ask a marketer why you are not using data with social media marketing?
The usual answer be like, "It sounds too complicated" or sometimes, "I don't have time for that."
The problem here is that when you don't take some time to analyze your social media performance, you'll end up wasting a lot more time than you think. This means that there will be a loss of your resources, money, and tons of opportunities that come along with the potential audience.
The worst it will do is it will damage your brand image, not giving your audience what they want - because you don't know what they are looking for in the first place.
And that's why you must adopt the data-driven mindset towards every aspect of your social media marketing. Data can inform you a lot about your audience. In fact, currently, more than 90% of the brands in US alone are using social media to create their brand reputation and engage potential customers.
Data tells, what your audience is looking for, what is working for you, and what is the thing that needs more investment or your money and time. Moreover, what are the places that need your least attention?
In essence, if you want to grab the attention of your customers, make them subscribe to your email list, or buy your product - you need to track every move or your customer and analysis data.
There are a plethora of benefits that you will get when you start thinking from a data-driven mindset for your social media marketing:
Doesn't that all sound heavenly amazing? It does. Because it is.
The most striking thing about initiating a data-driven social media is not that difficult. If you start with the premeditated strategy you can actually make well-informed decisions.
You might be thinking about building a data-driven social media strategy that seems awesome, but where should you start?
To answer that you must ask yourself this question
If you are just starting out with data, you might feel flabbergasted with the number of metrics that you want to analyze. If you're just starting, defining your KPIs for social media is a great way to start your goals.
If you want to leverage the full power of social media, you must match your goals with the metrics. Here are some goals that you can steal and boost your social media presence.
Here are a few examples of what I mean by matching the right KPIs to different objectives.
When you start with the goals, the first metric is to analyze the basic metric which is follower count.
A lot of people might argue that this metric might not drive the intended results. To an extent this is true. 20K followers won't generate the revenue that you are looking for.
But still, this is quite a good indicator of how your brand is doing in social media, how many people are engaging with your brand, what is the reach? When people haven't heard about your brand, they will judge the credibility of your brand.
Next, what you need is to engage the top influencers. These influencers will boost your brand presence and get your brand to a new level.
When you start tracking the influencers it will help you to analyze your brand reach, especially if you are starting out, you might not have a big audience, so the influencer will help you create a brand name and reputation in the unknown market.
Another way to learn more about this metric is to track the reach of other competitors. When you find out what people are talking about your competitors, it will be easy for you to make a better strategy.
You might think that you are doing good with 5k impressions per week, while your competitors are doing 500k mentions. When you compare against your competitors, you will get a reality check on your metric.
The second goal should be to improve the brand image. For this, you will have to measure the number of mentions, and the quality of those mentions.
How are people feeling about your brand?
What are they discussing about your brand? Are they saying good things, or are they bashing you online?
Brand sentiment is something that is done over time. And if there are certain spikes, you can always go back and see what you did wrong.
When you know the numbers, it will be easy for you to make the necessary changes and get more out of social media.
Social media is a place where you will get transparent feedback from customers. It is that feedback that will help you devise a better strategy for your customers.
The goal is to keep the image positive. Even if customers are angry about your brand, you can use social media to clarify things and make your reputation better.
Driving insane traffic is another metric that measures some people. For these people the brand sentiment and the follower count means nothing. If there is enough traffic on the website, they will be okay. To make this traffic useful it is another thing.
The traffic on the website is a good start because you know that there are people reading and listening to your brand voice. You will know which platforms are bringing most of the traffic to your website.
You can work on those platforms. Make campaigns. And see how people are responding to your brand on social media.
What you can do is to learn from the experts. Go to some of the famous brand social media pages and learn from them. How are they engaging the audience? What are they posting? This will give you a better idea of what strategies you need to gain attention from the users.
A business without a sale is nothing. If you want your business to survive, the only goal you need is sales.
You got traffic on the website. People know your brand name. Now, it's your responsibility to convert those and do them some good.
You can use some online tools to track the conversion. Just Google and pick the top from the list of search results.
Tools like Google Analytics and Hubspot are a great way to get in the minds of your customers. These tools will help you know exactly what the customers are looking for and you can give them exactly what they are looking for.
The Google Analytics and Hubspot are free tools but there are paid tools as well.
Both paid and free tools have their own pros and cons.
But if you are just starting out, it is best to start with a free tool. Paid tools are complex. You cannot start with them. If you want to schedule your posts. You can take help from task management tools like TaskQue to manage your productivity and save some precious time.
Data alone cannot do you any good. But when that data is combined with analytics it will get you some real results. You can use these results to recalibrate your social media marketing campaigns. Talk to the customers and help them solve their problems in real-time.

Breach of unwritten training rule raises UFC eyebrows
- Patrick Cummins meets Daniel Cormier Saturday in a UFC 170 heavyweight bout
- Cormier has never lost in MMA%2C but Cummins broke an unwritten rule of training
- Rashad Evens was supposed to face Cormier%2C but an injury brought Cummins as a replacement
When it comes to the unwritten rules of training that mixed martial arts fighters put each other through behind closed doors, UFC lightweight and MMA veteran Yves Edwards says it best.
"The gym is like Vegas," Edwards told USA TODAY Sports. "What happens in there should stay in there."
It's part of an unofficial code that MMA fighters expect one another to abide by. And, for the most part, they stick to it.
But every once in a while, as in the case of UFC heavyweights Daniel Cormier (13-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) and Patrick Cummins (4-0, 0-0), the rules are broken. Such a breach of etiquette can result in serious bad blood, which is what many are expecting once Cormier gets in the cage with the heavy underdog Cummins at UFC 170 in Las Vegas on Saturday night (10 p.m., pay-per-view).
Cormier was initially slated to take on former UFC light heavyweight champ Rashad Evans in the co-main event. When Evans withdrew with a knee injury a little more than a week before the fight, the UFC scrambled to find a replacement. Cummins volunteered, using his history as one of Cormier's Olympic wrestling training partner to bolster his case.
On one particularly rough day of training, Cummins claimed, he'd tossed Cormier around until he broke down in tears. Cormier didn't exactly dispute the story, though he added some context when the two fighters appeared on a Fox Sports Live segment recently.
Five UFC 170 storylines to follow
"I was getting ready for the Olympics," Cormier said. "Pat's never been 'the guy.' I was 'the guy.' So it wasn't just Pat Cummins who was wrestling me. It was Pat Cummins and everybody else coming in wrestling me. I was also going through a lot of personal things at the time."
As Cormier was delivering his explanation, Cummins turned to the show's host and pretended to cry. Good theater, perhaps, butit didn't win over many in the MMA sphere who saw it as a violation of an important training room code.
"I've seen every one of our athletes at his highest high and lowest low," said noted MMA trainer Duke Roufus. "Everyone has bad days. Everyone's been brought to tears, been distraught, crushed in that room. That's what that room is there for. That's the safety net."
When training partners start telling tales out of school, Roufus added, "you hurt the sanctity of our practice room."
Greg Jackson, who's trained several UFC champions in two decades worth of MMA coaching, says it's also "just about class."
"I like Pat," he said. "I know him well and he's a sweet guy. But it's about treating people the way you want to be treated. Everyone has weak moments in training. It's training. You'll have terrible days when you just get owned. One thing we (stress) in my school is, you don't go on the Internet and say, 'I just owned so-and-so today.' It's training. It doesn't matter. You have great days and terrible days, and that's just how it goes."
Cummins insists his training room tale is "not fabricated," but also acknowledged that his decision to trot it out now had as much to do with self-promotion as psychological warfare.
"I think that's the way to sell the fight," Cummins said. "Everyone needs something to anchor on to make this fight make sense."
He might have a point there, and certainly his sob story has made plenty of headlines. But as the lightweight Edwards pointed out, it might not make much of a difference in the end.
"I completely get that it's an opportunity, it's a big shot," Edwards said. "But that happened in the room. It might help your confidence, but it doesn't mean anything on fight night."

Continuous improvement and evaluation of performance is the key to a successful corporate wellness program. After implementing a corporate wellness program, it is necessary to follow up in order to make the necessary modifications, if required. Tracking the performance and evaluating the program is essential for the further improvement and continuation of the corporate wellness program. A review of the corporate wellness programs should be planned at periodic intervals and the progress of the programs as well as their outcomes should be measured.
A sound evaluation system needs to be developed taking into consideration different parameters like, the continuation of the series of the wellness programs as planned, employee participation, feedback received from the participants, health results obtained from the programs and their benefits to the participating employees, etc. Employee satisfaction can be known with the help of surveys and interviews and their opinion should be taken into account.
Outcomes can also be measured in terms of increased productivity and financial gains. Employee absenteeism can be compared to that before the implementation of wellness programs. Employee satisfaction, turnover rate, retention rate are such other factors that can help in evaluating the success of a corporate wellness program. Costs incurred on the wellness programs also need to be tracked and necessary changes can be made accordingly. By evaluating the process of the programs and the outcomes of it, organizations will be able to learn about the successful working of the corporate wellness program as well as determine whether the expected results have been met or not.

Canadian returns stolen Pompeii relic after 50 years
A woman from Canada has handed back a piece of ruins from the ancient city of Pompeii more than 50 years after she first took it. The woman picked up a small decoration, which was part of a theatre entrance, during her honeymoon in Italy. She put it in her bag and took it back with her to Montreal. Pompeii is one of Italy's most visited sites. A sudden eruption of Mt Vesuvius in 79 AD buried and largely preserved the town under ash. The woman - who has not been named - kept it with her for half a century but clearly her actions nagged away at her. So this month she travelled back to Italy to hand back the fragment.
Captain Carmine Elefante, who runs the police's Cultural Heritage Protection Group in Naples, says that the woman - now in her 70s - was in tears when she gave it back.

Rolf Harris loses first conviction appeal bid
Rolf Harris has lost the first round of a legal challenge against his conviction for indecent assaults. The disgraced entertainer was jailed in July for nearly six years for 12 indecent assaults on four girls, including one aged just seven or eight. The Judicial Office confirmed a judge had refused his application for permission to appeal, lodged in August. But the 84-year-old can still renew the application before three judges at the Court of Appeal. The artist, TV presenter and musician was convicted at London's Southwark Crown Court in June.

China corruption: Record cash find in official's home
Anti-corruption investigators in China have confirmed the reported seizure of the equivalent of $33m in cash at an official's home in May - the biggest such haul to date. More than 200m yuan (£20m) were found and four out of 16 counting machines broke whilst measuring the notes, a prosecutor said. Senior energy official Wei Pengyuan is under investigation for corruption.
President Xi Jinping has promised to tackle corruption in China. The massive haul, first reported in the Chinese press in May, was confirmed at a news conference by top anti-bribery prosecutor Xu Jinhui. Mr Wei, who is the deputy chief of the National Energy Administration's coal department, was put under investigation in May for allegedly accepting bribes following the discovery of the hidden cash. China has sentenced more than 13,000 officials found guilty of corruption and bribery in the first nine months of 2014 alone.

Public Transport Less Safe for Women in Moscow Than in New York
Russia's capital Moscow has ranked in ninth place on a list of the world's most dangerous transport systems for women — the only city in Europe to feature inside the top 10.
The survey, carried out by the Thomson Reuters Foundation in collaboration with online pollster YouGov, focused on 16 of the world's most populous capital cities as defined by the United Nations.
An exception was made for New York, which was included in place of Washington DC as the most populous city in the U.S., and was ranked the safest in the poll published Wednesday.
A minimum of 380 women and at least nine women's rights and gender experts were interviewed in each city for the survey, which ranked Moscow's transport system as the ninth-worst for women after the Thai capital of Bangkok.
Those polled were questioned on six topics, including traveling alone at night, risk of being verbally harassed by men, and risk of being groped or subjected to other forms of physical harassment. Respondents were left to decide what constituted "harassment" in their respective societies.

Solo rose per le donne iraniane
Nel corso delle ultime settimane, quattro donne sono state aggredite con l'acido a Isfahan, una città nel centro dell'Iran. Una, di cui si ignora ancora il nome, è morta a causa delle ferite riportate. Gli attacchi sono stati fatti da uomini in moto con il volto coperto. Un gruppo di artisti, per denunciare gli agguati, ha deciso di avvicinare le donne seguendo lo stesso metodo, ma con un'unica e grande eccezione: invece dell'acido donano delle rose

Find and book unique accommodation on Airbnb
Guests agree: these stays are highly rated for location, cleanliness, and more.
Casa Montechiaro in Positano is a characteristic house which faces the sun and the sea.
"This is a great airbnb. The flat and view were accurately described, very clean and the thoughtful touches (food, wine, flowers and gift) made the whole experience very pleasant. Quite a few evenings, we ate on the balcony as the view was fantastic. We didn't get to meet Raffaele but he stayed in contact throughout our stay, checking that we were okay and offering his help. Well worth getting a taxi transfer from Naples that Raffaele organised as public transport - whilst doable (and we used local buses and trains to get to places) don't always run to time. Timetables can be a little hard to understand too. The roads would be a bit hair-raising to drive - narrow with lots of traffic. We were welcomed at the taxi drop-off by Angela whose kindness and generosity of spirit shone - such a warm individual to greet us. The flat is tastefully decorated and as others have said, the terrace is in shade from mid afternoon onwards - which means that it is very useable (all-day direct sun would be too much). There are a good number of steps up to the flat but we didn't mind this and it prepared us well for hiking The Path of the Gods later in the week (Bomerano to Nocelle is the direction to take, not vice-versa!) Positano itself is lovely though we liked Amalfi and Ravello as well. We were struck by how generous bar and shop staff were - often throwing in a free beer or loaf of bread with a smile or a joke. A thoroughly enjoyable holiday. Thank-you Raffaele and Angela for your hospitality."
the studio is in the heart of Positano close by everything , shops, restaurants, grocery, bus stop etc. far from main road Viale Pasitea 67 steps. the studio is furnished by a double bed, sofa bed, cabin -kitchen, airconditioning, wi-fi , wash
"After visiting Positano for the first time and walking around the entire city, Chiara's loft is the place to stay. You will be in a prime location that is close enough to the center but still kept away for more privacy at night. The views are breathtaking and the loft itself exceeding all of our expectations. The walkway to the door is lush with flowers and foliage and that was just the entry. As for the apartment, it was massive and had the best views of the town than any other places we visited during our stay. We had coffee every morning on the terrace and wine in the evening. The bed is very comfortable and sleep was never an issue! If you're looking to visit Positano, look no further. There is a grocery store right up the steps if you need any provisions whatsoever. Enjoy!"
Casa Fiorellina is a graceful house which faces the sun and the sea. Casa Chiara is 75 square meters It can sleep 4 people. The apartment features 2 double bedroom,a comfortable bathroom, 1 Terrace ,3 tv, Internet WI-FI and air condition. Information: if you only book for two people the house is all for you except for the second bedroom that will be closed If you book for 4 people the bathroom is shared
"Michele's place is outstanding! It has the most amazing views of Positano, which were perfect for watching the fireworks on New Year's. It is super close to the Sita bus (which goes to Sorrento and Amalfi) and the local bus. Great proximity to trails and other lookouts as well. Michele was very generous, providing us with snacks and local recommendations (particularly helpful since lots of places close for the holidays), and was key in helping us recover some lost luggage. He really went above and beyond to make our stay in Positano excellent!"

If you are a home owner, having a fence around your home is a practical solution for security. Even though the fence provides your home with security, you still want it to be an attractive addition to residential property. In addition, you want to have a fencing material that is affordable and does not cost your home too much. Here are some of the most attractive and affordable materials to have installed for a residential fence:
1. Vinyl Coated Chain Link Fencing with Inserts for Privacy
Vinyl coated fences are a great solution for the fence around your home. Unlike other galvanized materials, vinyl will last for years and never rust or decay. In addition, vinyl coatings are available in many different colors, as well as with inserts. If you want to have more privacy for the fence around your home, it can have a lattice look with lattice slat inserts that are the same color as the coating of your residential fencing.
2. Wood and Vinyl Fencing Systems for Affordable Residential Fences
Wood and vinyl are very attractive materials to have installed around your home. If you want to have a look that blends in with the natural landscaping features, there are many choices of wood, such as cedar fencing, which is a naturally durable wood material to use for residential fencing. In addition to wood, there are also other vinyl materials, which can be used to give you various looks. Vinyl can come in traditional picket fence styles, as well as solid stone veneer patterns, which give you a choice of affordable, attractive and durable fencing to add privacy to your home.
3. An Attractive and Affordable Fencing Solution with Aluminum Metal Fencing
Another great material to consider usi9ng or the new fencing around your home is aluminum fencing. Like vinyl, aluminum comes in many different styles, which include metal fence for the look of custom ironwork or solid panels for more of a contemporary look for the fencing around your home. One good thing about aluminum over other materials is that is durable and resistant to corrosion from exposure to the elements. Aluminum will last for many years with only the need for a minimal amount of maintenance.
These are some of the most attractive and affordable fencing materials to have installed around homes. Contact a residential fencing contractor for help with the installation of these materials around your home.Share

Hey Guys!
Welcome to the next instalment of my 'best high street' series. Today's topic if very close to my heart ;P, it's the turn of bras. So lets get down to it.
4) Matalan
They are brilliant for t-shirt bras. They do twin packs of t-shirt bras for £10. one is a plain colour, the other is patterned. They are really comfortable and practical. Admittedly they aren't the best support wise, but generally, they are pretty good. The underwire inst uncomfortable, the cups are a good size and shape, clasp is sturdy, they are just generally pretty decent.
3) H and M
I personally find some of H and M's bras a bit expensive but they are quiet nice. They do a lot of variety. Everything from plain fabric ones (not sure what they are called. The ones without padded cups?), too push up, lingerie bras. I will admit their push up bras are amazing. They are like t-shirt bras but push up. I admit, I personally only buy H and M bras if they are on sale. I find them a little overpriced. They are pretty supportive though and very comfortable.
2) Boux Avenue
Although these are on the pricier side, if you are after fancier/ sexier underwear, this is the place to go. They do a lot of different styles and they are all very pretty. All matching items. Very nice. I personally find that here is better then places like Ann Summers etc. Better prices, better quality, slightly less, creepy kinky lol.
1) New Look
I love New look bras. They are really pretty, really comfortable and not to expensive. They are really pretty, really comfortable and really affordable. They start at about £7.99. there are tons of different styles all of which are really cute and comfortable. Admittedly, some do have an absurd amount of clasps. I honestly own one from New Look that has 7 hooks on it lol. It honestly takes about a year to get in and out of it lol. They are really nice though. I would highly recommended them. Plus every bra they have, they do matching knickers for, always on 3 for 2.
And today, you have an extra tip. The WORST high street bra
Avoid these at all costs. I have tried these several times (I resent having to pay such obscene amounts of money for something that you culturally have to wear) and they are just a complete waste of money. They are really uncomfortable, the wire always digs in, the cups always gape and they have absolutely no support at all. Always avoid these.
I hope that you have enjoyed this post. What is your go to shop for bras? I will see you all again soon.

this is my whole code, and I only get to the else statement that the email was not sent, any suggestions?<?php $emailTo = "email@example.com"; $subject = "Email this should work"; $body = "This is my message"; $headers = "From: firstname.lastname@example.com"; if (mail($emailTo, $subject, $body, $headers)) { echo "The email was sent successfully"; } else { echo "The EMAIL could not be sent."; } ?>
Hey, I am not really experienced in PHP, but your code seems to be correct. Where are you running this code on? If you are using XAMPP or something like that, the mail function is most likely not available.
I did find what went wrong. I had created a php.ini file to turn on error reporting so I could see what errors I was producing while php coding. That was the only thing I had changed on the server. Tech support for the server said everything looked good and comparing my code against different php help sites. I saw several references to the .ini file and since I added the file to my folder I thought maybe my file was interfering with the server php.ini file. So I deleted that file and ran my code, and I had success.
Here's what you could use for your send_email.php<?php session_start(); if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { $to = "email@example.com"; // this is your Email address $from = $_POST['email']; // this is the sender's Email address $first_name = $_POST['full_name']; $email = $_POST['email']; $telephone = $_POST['telephone']; $comments = $_POST['message']; $subject = "Contact Form"; $message = "First Name: " . $first_name . "\n\n" . "Email: " . $email . "\n\n" . "Phone: " . $telephone . "\n\n" . "Message: " . $_POST['message']; mail($to, $subject, $message); header('Location: contact.php'); } ?>
the "header('Location: contact.php');" will ensure that once the form is submitted, it won't go to another page but stay on that same page. If you want it to go to another page, in the code above it would be the page "send_email.php", then delete the header line. This header line is NOT to be confused with $headers or $header that would say it's from email@example.com or whatever.

Tegel Touch and Go
On my outbound and return trips I had plenty of time to kill so on each occasion I headed up to the observation deck at Tegel to watch the world go by. It seemed like a good opportunity to get one last good look at the airport as I am sure that by the time I come back it will have been shut down, replaced by the troubled Berlin Brandenburg airport which lies to the south of the city.
The impressively spacious viewing terrace at Tegel covers the entire roof span of the airport's distinctive hexagonal terminal A, allowing you to get a good view of the entire runway and most of the gates from this terminal.
I wouldn't normally expect much from any time on an observation deck, but seemed to have timed my visit exceptionally well on both occasions. On my outbound leg I managed to see the arrival of two Bundesrepublik Deutschland aircraft that are used for official travel and diplomatic business – the first was Airbus A340-313X VIP 'Konrad Adenauer' (16+01) whilst the second was the Airbus A310-304 VIP (10+21) that used to bear this name.
On my return trip I saw one of the smaller Bundesrepublik Deutschland VIP jets, a Bombardier Global 5000 (14+01), take off after a couple of black limousines had delivered some passengers. Other notable sights included a BMW Gulfstream G550 and a classic liveried Lufthansa A321.
As if this was not enough excitement, the next flight to come in was a Deutsche Marine Lockheed P-3 Orion (60+01) named 'Friedrichshafen' (in the 100 Jahre Marineflieger livery that she was painted for last year's celebrations) which proceeded to touch and go (landing on the runway and taking off again without coming to a full stop). I assume this was a training exercise as the same procedure was repeated just ten minutes later! It was like having a mini air-show before the flight home.
In all the excitement on offer it was easy to forget that I still had to get through security and on to my own flight. Luckily, I made it through just in time and my reward (c/o British Airways) was a 15g bag of crisps, which has to be the most miserly snack that I think I have ever seen on a flight. Nevertheless, I was very happy to have made it on board and be heading homewards!

The Foothill Gardens is a 200 acre privately owned and operated resort on the planet Argai that is broken up into eight different gardens, all containing the most well preserved flora of any planet galaxy-wide. The gardens are often booked for weddings, family reunions, or parties of any nature. With its proximity of 80 km from Argai City, the capital of Argai, the Gardens are often busy. However, the Waryn Family has been hosting parties in the famous Rose Garden of the garden complex since the youngest girl, Crislyn was 2 years old. The two girls often spent their early days in the gardens, as they were raised in the nearby town of Foothill.

Our culinary tour begins on the flowered coast, the region of Calvados. Situated in the north coast of France nearest the English Channel, Normandy is often remembered for the D Day landings of British, Canadian and American troops that stormed ashore to battle the Germans in WWII. I've yet to visit this region, but after this lesson I suspect there is much to remember and discover.
Chef Tivet created 3 dishes in practical, all based on liquors from Normandy. All of the dishes were based on the simple and honest apple.
Matelote Normande au Cidre Brut, Fish Stew with Dry Cider
Pintade Fermiere Poelee Vallee D'Auge, Pan Roasted Guinea Fowl with Calvados Sauce
Tarte Fine aux Pommes et Cremeux Caramel, Apple Tart with Creamy Caramel
Each dish features an alcohol based on apples, dry ciders or calvados, and cream. From savory to sweet the flavors of the region are remarkable. What was interesting is the menu did not compete against each other on the apple front, but rather took you on a journey from the salty fish stew onto the sexy Calvados cream fowl and finally to the apple forward dessert.
It struck me in the practical that French chefs are persistently cruel with their seafood. In basic you witnessed I murdered crabs, and you will see me in a future lesson inflict the same treatment on a lobster. In this demonstration the Chef removed the intestine from live crayfish before putting them to death in a pan of hot oil. Mon Dieu! Must we always be so barbaric? Seems I forgot all about it when the fish stew was served though – perhaps I am now on their side?
For our practical we prepared the Pan Roasted Guinea Fowl with Calvados Sauce. Guinea Fowl, originally a wild African bird, is farm raised and has both light and dark meat. For this recipe, if you cannot find such a bird, substitute a pheasant or chicken. The bird will be braised whole on a bed of aromatic vegetables for 40 to 50 min at 200 C. An accompaniment of apples pan fried in butter is delicious alongside. Continue reading for instructions….
- Prepare the bird by removing the wing tips, wings & wishbone
- Season the interior cavity, add thyme & bay leaf
- Truss the bird
- Over med /high heat, place vegetable oil and butter in a roasting pan
- Once heated, brown the bird on all sides, remove from the pan and set aside
- Add the wings, tip and wishbone to the pan. If you can buy additional wings add them to the pan now. Brown all the pieces without burning.
- Move the pan to medium heat and add an aromatic mixture of vegetables such as, carrots, onions, shallots, celery cut into thumb size pieces cook for 5 minutes.
- Top and tail two golden delicious apples, coarsely chop and add the trimming to the vegetables. Continue cooking. What to do with remaining apple? See below!
- Once the mixture is softened, add 100 ml of dry apple cider (from Normandy) to deglaze the pan. Cook off the alcohol.
- Remove from the heat and add the whole fowl to the pot.
- Add enough water to cover ¾ way up the veg/fruit mixture; cover and place in the oven for 40 to 50 minutes.
- Check if the bird is done by piercing with a fork in between the drumstick and thigh. If the juices run clear – it's done – red back in the oven!
- Remove the bird to a plate and cover with foil.
Calvados Sauce
- Strain the jus from the bones and aromatics. Discard bones and aromatics.
- Return the jus to a sauce pan and set on high heat to reduce to approximately ½ cup of liquid.
- Warm 150 ml of whipping cream over low heat.
- To the jus add 30 ml of white wine and 10 ml of Calvados. Continue to reduce.
- Add warm cream and continue to reduce until the mixture coats the back of a tbsp.
- Check the seasonings…add salt and pepper and if you think it's wise a little more Calvados.
Buttery Apples
- Peel and core apples; cut into 6 to 8 pieces
- Over low/med heat melt a tbsp. of non salted butter
- Add apples and sprinkle with a 1 ½ tsp. sugar and a little salt
- Cook gently for 4 or 5 minutes. Set aside until bird is ready to be plated.
- Reheat gently for 2 minutes.
To plate, carve the bird into 4 to 6 pieces and serve the sauce and the buttery apples on the side (never over top of the bird). The sides we made of 70's and 80's carrot and celery are not worth mentioning, so I suggest a puree of potato and celeriac.
My friends it does not get better than this! Rush now to Normandy! Or if you can't get there, try this recipe at home.

Issues to Consider When Selecting MAC Technology
First, what the heck is a MAC?
The past
The present and future
A RISCy business
Things to consider
Wrap up
For those of us who have been involved in technology development for wireless networking, the medium access control (MAC) layer is fairly well understood. But as wireless local-area network (WLAN) technology rolls out to wider audiences, who must implement wireless capability at their company, there are sometimes misconceptions about MACs. I've even heard some newcomers to the field say that it doesn't apply to them because they don't have Mac computers in their network!
So, for those who aren't real sure what MACs are, I offer a description of this function, a look ahead at future development and also considerations for selection of an appropriate MAC.
First, what the heck is a MAC?
MAC stands for "Medium Access Control." The term can apply to a single IC, or to the MAC "layer" in a wireless system. In a WLAN, the first layer is the physical layer (PHY) that handles data transmission via some wireless media (RF or infrared, for instance). The MAC layer comes next and serves as the interface between the PHY layer and the host device.
So, you'll find that when the MAC is referenced by a WLAN radio designer, they're probably talking about the MAC layer. The MAC layer is resident in or on every WLAN adapter card and Access Point. This layer is the central processor that formats data bits into packets, and manages the transmission of that packet information over an RF medium to guarantee successful connections between one WLAN radio and the next.
The MAC provides four key functions. First, it provides the basic I/O control, configuration, and frequency channel selection of the physical layer (the radio). Secondly, it serves as the host interface, typically supporting PC Card, PCI, or ISA standard interfaces between the radio and the PC platform. Thirdly, the MAC provides the necessary network management functions such as authentication and other security methods such as encryption, which are necessary to assure the security of information transmitted over a wireless LAN network. And lastly, the MAC is used to translate data packets between wired Ethernet LANs and WLAN systems.
The past?
In the wired LAN world, the function that a MAC provides is handled by an Ethernet controller card. Essentially, a MAC in a WLAN does the same thing as an Ethernet controller. Those controllers are generally hardware based because the standards for them are mature and interoperable, having been in place for about 10 years.
WLANs, on the other hand, have been implemented around software/firmware-based or RISC-core-based MACs, because of the infancy of both markets and governing standards. Before the creation of the IEEE 802.11 standard, many of the MACs employed were Intel microprocessors (i.e. 186, 188, 286). The use of these processors limited data rates to about 2 megabits per second. This is because of the high processing overhead necessary for the software/firmware to implement the protocol.
The present and future
As demand for much higher data rates are felt in several wireless market segments, and as various standards/specs emerge for those spaces (i.e. 802.11, Bluetooth, HRFWG, HiperLAN, etc.), it's apparent that MACs will have to achieve faster data rates, plus offer special benefits for given protocols and applications. Even now, the 802.11 standard that was approved just a year ago is finalizing the draft for an extension to 11 Mb/s.
It's easy to conceptualize data rates going even higher before jumping to another frequency. Just look at the home-networking segment. Initially, members of the WLAN industry assumed that the consumer and home segments would not require the speed of enterprise segments. That notion has been entirely supplanted by the increasing demand in the home for full-up, multimedia content. That certainly won't go away when the home network goes wireless. All of these developments will force MAC designers to rethink their architectures.
A RISCy business
I think there is great promise in migrating MAC technology to RISC-like IC machines, especially for implementing protocols bounded by time critical specifications. It's been proven that RISC architectures using today's sub-micron CMOS semiconductor technology can achieve data rates well above 25 Mb/s.
RISC architectures have optimized firmware instructions for implementing complex protocols at a fraction of the processor's bandwidth over conventional microprocessors. This is really attractive to WLAN system programmers. In addition, as we look ahead to further integration of functions to bring costs in line with critical consumer price points, the use of RISC architectures opens the door for integration of such a MAC with the baseband processor.
A RISC-based MAC is also flexible in it's ability to support several protocols instead of being slave to just one, and that flexibility is achieved without sacrificing speed and throughput.
Things to consider
There are number of issues to consider when selecting MAC technology for your next WLAN solution. First, consider what software drivers and firmware tools you'll get with the MAC you select. A good suite of software and firmware tools is critical when developing the MAC protocol for a standards-based WLAN application. This is true because MAC software engineers usually spend a good portion of their time understanding the specifics of a particular standard's protocol in parallel with the development of firmware.
The second issue involves host interfaces. It's equally important to plan ahead and determine your target host interface so that you do not have to add extra glue logic ICs between the MAC layer and host platform. Having to add external glue interface devices is a disadvantage, in that it adds to the bill of materials cost. So choose the host interface firstwhether it's PC Card bus, ISA, USB, PCI or Mini-PCIthen, choose the MAC that best serves that interface.
The third, and maybe most important of all considerations, is the choice of MAC technology that provides a path to higher data rates. Let's face it, once you commit to a given architecture, you're in it for the long haul. You'll most likely develop a suite of firmware to satisfy a number of protocols and you'll want to re-use and capitalize on your investment. Therefore, it's important to choose a MAC layer platform that allows upward portability of software and firmware at a minimal investment.
It is my experience that as high rate standards emerge, changes will affect primarily the PHY, and not necessarily the MAC layer. And even if there are changes affecting the MAC layer, you'll want to make sure the processing power is available to accommodate such modifications.
When you make a commitment to a given architecture, ensure that your selection will last through a three-year life cycle. The odds are you're going to invest in the development of firmware and software for a variety of protocols, so make sure that the RISC architecture (or processing platform) selected will serve the target markets.
Wrap up
In closing, MAC technology has come a long way since the first Ethernet controller. As networking goes wireless, standards continue to emerge and markets demand higher and higher data rates, selection of the right MAC will become more and more critical to system success. So take your MAC seriouslythoroughly research standards and migration paths, and make sure you've picked a MAC technology that will serve your system well down the road.
Look for more about MAC technologies to deliver voice and data traffic in upcoming columns. If there are other topics you'd like covered, please let me know. 'Til next time, remember that I really enjoy hearing from you, so keep those emails coming in.

News anchor Leeann Tweeden has accused Sen. Al Franken of kissing and groping her without consent. Thursday, Tweeden tweeted out her account of the alleged harassment using the solidarity hashtag #MeToo, which was started in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein fallout.
"In December of 2006, I embarked on my ninth USO Tour to entertain our troops, my eighth to the Middle East since the 9/11 attacks," Tweeden said. "My father served in Vietnam and my then-boyfriend (and now husband, Chris) is a pilot in the Air Force, so bringing a 'little piece of home' to service members stationed far away from their families was both my passion and my privilege." Franken, who was still a comedian at the time, joined Tweeden on the trip alongside a variety of musical artists and Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders. Franken was the headliner.
According to Tweeden, Franken wrote a skit in which his character "comes at me for a kiss." Franken, allegedly, repeatedly insisted on rehearsing the kiss, which made Tweeden uncomfortable. "I said 'OK' so he would stop badgering me," she said. "We did the line leading up to the kiss and then he came at me, put his hand on the back of my head, mashed his lips against mine and aggressively stuck his tongue in my mouth. I immediately pushed him away with both of my hands against his chest and told him if he ever did that to me again I wouldn't be so nice about it the next time."
The incident, which Tweeden said left her feeling "disgusted and violated," was allegedly followed by Franken drawing devil hours on "at least" one of the headshots she was handing out to service members. Also, as seen in the photo Tweeden tweeted alongside her account of the alleged 2006 incident, Franken later took a photograph in which he grabbed her breasts while she was sleeping on the way back to Los Angeles, California.
In his original statement in response to Tweeden's accusations, Franken didn't remember the skit rehearsal "in the same way," but offered "sincerest apologies" to Tweeden. "As to the photo, it was clearly intended to be funny but wasn't," he said, according to NBC News. "I shouldn't have done it." Following backlash, Franken released a lengthier statement later Thursday afternoon.
"Over the last few months, all of us — including and especially men who respect women — have been forced to take a good, hard look at our own actions and think (perhaps, shamefully, for the first time) about how those actions have affected women," Franken said in his second statement. "For instance, that picture. I don't know what was in my head when I took that picture, and it doesn't matter. There's no excuse. I look at it now and I feel disgusted with myself. It isn't funny. It's completely inappropriate. It's obvious how Leeann would feel violated by that picture." Franken has also called for an ethics investigation to be opened on himself, the Hill reported.

Project Brief
With refreshed branding completed by the Kraftwerk Design print team, Castoro Cellars wanted to incorporate the updated brand to their online presence. Many elements from the wine label and other print material were used throughout the website design for a cohesive look and feel.
I was assigned to implement the updated branding with a modern homepage concept which was the groundwork for the interior concept designs. I also developed a Wordpress theme with the design, and it was integrated into the VIN65 CMS in use.

THE USUAL NOTE FROM LB: From the summer of 2002 to the spring of 2010, Gwen the Beautiful and I were the proud and often exhausted owners of a beautiful Ozarks property we called Cloud Creek Ranch.
In many ways, the ranch was paradise. But it was a paradise with a price that started going up before we even knew it existed. Here's another Monday musing about our adventure and the lessons we learned.
Oh, and if y'all detect any irony, please believe me when I say it comes straight from the universe and not your kindly Uncle Larry B.
by Larry Brody
The more I think I've got people figured out, the more wrong I learn I've been.
The latest example of my ability to misjudge just about anyone is the Old Billionaire. When we got together he seemed to be a smart, sane, practical old boy. I liked him, and as things turned out he liked me.
Which each had different reasons for our reactions. I was impressed with the fact that although the Old Billionaire was polite and unassuming, he also was fast and agile as all get out when it came sizing up situations, seeing patterns, and knowing how to deal with what he sized up and saw.
And all with a country boy quip and a smile.
As for why he liked me, near the end of the lunch we'd had he let me know.
"You're a smart man," the Old Billionaire said, "because you've learned not to want anything from anybody.
"The problem with wanting something from somebody," he went on, "is that it makes you change from who you are to whoever you think you've got to be in order to get it. And the minute you do that you've self-destructed. You're like nothing but a ghost…even if the people you wanted something from don't ever come through."
All I'd done before the old boy said this was tell him how I felt. See what I mean about his ability to analyze things?
Last night, though, I discovered another side of the Old Billionaire. He called the house as I was helping Gwen the Beautiful wash the dinner dishes.
"Hey," the Old Billionaire said. "I've been reading your column."
"And?" I said, fishing for a compliment or three.
"And we've got to talk."
"You sound serious."
"I am serious," the Old Billionaire said. "What you wrote a few weeks ago about strange experiences? I've got some."
"Really? That's great. Tell me what they are."
"They don't feel great. They scare the heels right off of my boots."
He stopped for a moment. I turned off the water and took the phone out on the front porch. I do as much of my telephone talking there as I can because it feels so good to be outside sitting on the big swing.
The Old Billionaire was talking again. "Know what you wrote about knowing you've got money in your pocket but not finding it there? Well, I keep meeting people I know're dead. Except they're alive."
Now I was the quiet one. "Told you it was scary," the Old Billionaire said. "I was just in Louisiana discussing a rebuilding project, and know who they introduced me to? Fats Domino! I almost fell off my chair 'cause I know I read his death notice about a year ago. I can see the newspaper page right in front of me now.
"Then there's this actress. Old lady. I forget her name, but she was on that show Golden Girls. Played the mother. I turned on TV last week and there she was, reminiscing. I remembered seeing her on a show like that a few months ago. They were talking about her life because she'd just died.
"There're more. Lots more. Like Justice Rehnquist. When I saw he'd died I was really surprised. 'Cause I remembered being at his funeral three years ago!"
I realized the Old Billionaire was waiting for me. That although it went against the grain, he wanted something from somebody. He wanted a response.
"You think there's something wrong with your memory? Is that what scares you?" I said.
"No," he said. "Not at all. My memory's fine. I think there's something wrong with the world. I think it's one big computer—that's not keeping track of everything anymore. Bad memory chips. A virus. Something's got it down.
"What scares me," said the Old Billionaire, "isn't that I'll forget the planet, it's that the planet will forget me."
I've been thinking all day about what the Old Billionaire said. Wondering how he'd size up the opposite situation—a certain old boy up on a mountain who keeps finding out that folks he thought were very much alive, like Roy Rogers and Dale Evans and my old neighbor George C. Scott, are long gone.
I still think the Old Billionaire is smart, sane, and practical…and very much alive. And I like him even more now because I know he's also something else.
He's a lot like me.

Sound of Charlotte Blog
Meet the women taking the classical world (and your CSO) by stormJuly 22, 2019
This season, we're thrilled to have two outstanding women conductors lead the orchestra in concerts featuring masterworks by Beethoven and Bach. Find out how these women broke the "Glass Podium" and became trailblazers in the industry.
JoAnn Falletta: Classical Woman of the Year
JoAnn Falletta is the Music Director of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and the Virginia Symphony Orchestra, Principal Guest Conductor of the Brevard Music Center and Music Advisor to the Hawaii Symphony. This year, she was named by Performance Today Classical Women of the Year. Falletta joins us April 3-5, 2020 to guest conduct Beethoven's Pastoral at Knight Theater.
Here's how Falletta is making waves in the industry:
- Upon her appointment as Music Director of the Buffalo Philharmonic, she became the first woman to lead a major American ensemble. She has since been credited with bringing the Philharmonic to a new level of national and international prominence.
- In 2018, she made history as the first American woman conductor to lead an orchestra at the prestigious Beethoven Easter Festival.
- She has a discography of 115 titles, 2 of which won GRAMMY® Awards and 10 received nominations.
- She is acclaimed by The Washington Post as having "Toscanini's tight control over ensemble, Walter's affectionate balancing of inner voices, Stokowski's gutsy showmanship, and a controlled frenzy worthy of Bernstein."
- She has guest conducted over a 100 orchestras in North America, and many of the most prominent orchestras in Europe, Asia, South America and Africa.
- She has introduced over 500 works by American composers, including well over 100 world premieres.
Jeannette Sorrell brings fire to Baroque
GRAMMY®-winning conductor and harpsichordist Jeannette Sorrell is recognized internationally as one of today's most compelling interpreters of Baroque and Classical repertoire. She joins us April 17-18, 2020 to guest conduct Bach Brandenburg Concertos at Knight Theater.
What makes Sorrell extraordinary?
- She is the founder and artistic director of the renowned period ensemble APOLLO'S FIRE, with which has one of the largest audiences of any baroque orchestra in North America and sold-out concerts at Carnegie Hall, London's BBC Proms, Madrid's Royal Theatre, the Library of Congress, the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), and more.
- She, with APOLLO'S FIRE, has achieved 8 bestsellers on the Billboard classical chart and a 2019 GRAMMY®-winner.
- She studied conducting under Leonard Bernstein and Roger Norrington; and studied harpsichord with pioneer and pillar of the early music movement Gustav Leonhardt.
- She won both First Prize and the Audience Choice Award in the Spivey International Harpsichord Competition, competing against over 70 harpsichordists from Europe, Israel, the U.S., and the Soviet Union.
- She has attracted national attention and awards for her creative programming, which has brought many new listeners to early music.
- In demand with topnotch symphony orchestras and period groups alike, Sorrell has led the National Symphony at the Kennedy Center, the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Seattle Symphony, Handel & Haydn Society, and more.
See these women in action at Knight Theater on April 3-5, 2020 for Beethoven's Pastoral and April 17-18, 2020 for Bach Brandenburg Concertos. Read more
Albert-George Schram's Two LivesJune 16, 2014
Albert-George Schram is known at the Charlotte Symphony as the joyful white-haired conductor that makes seeing the orchestra play Pops concerts, ranging from Christmas music and Broadway to Motown, exciting. Elsewhere around the country, he's known for conducting Classical music. In a recent article in Charlotte Observer, Larry Toppman covers this in "Charlotte Symphony's Albert-George Schram leads two lives."
Within the article, we learn 5 interesting facts about George:
1. He got bad early reviews from his piano teacher: "As a boy, my first instrument was tuba. I played cornet, euphonium, other wind instruments. And I'd ride my bike up to an old lady's house and sit among these big dark curtains to study piano. She told my father, 'You are really wasting your time.' "
2. He was a 20-year-old 12th-grader in Canada: "I was living in Alberta, and they wouldn't accept my Dutch high school degree. So I finished school while working on a farm with 12,000 chickens, collecting eggs and hammering fence posts into the ground."
3. After getting a bachelor's in music from the University of Calgary, he became music director of Stratusfaction, a 25-piece Canadian jazz ensemble that peaked with gigs in Reno, Lake Tahoe and Las Vegas. He played trombone and trumpet, sang, arranged and wrote musical charts.
4. Languages come quickly to him. He improved his English after settling in Canada by watching TV. His favorite program: "Stampede Wrestling," where Archie "The Stomper" Gouldie battled Abdullah the Butcher. Much later, he spent a month at a Spanish-language institute, so he could conduct in Bolivia and Argentina.
5. He watches the Grammy Awards. "I do it because I want to know what's happening now," he said. "If I don't think any of the music played today is good music, and millions of people take to it, then I have to start opening my ears wider."

the selection text can be highlighted by defining a highlight colour - e.g. color highlight=0xFFFFFF00000000
2. Any menu can be removed using one of the NOFxxx variables in your MyE2B.cfg file. Any new menu can be added by adding in a .mnu file (see v1.A9k Sample mnu Files\E2B Menus for example .mnu files). A menu space can be added as already explained by adding a .mnu file. https://www.easy2boot.com/configuring-e2b/mainmenuonly/
3. Help can be removed using set NOF1=1 in your MyE2B.cfg file - https://www.easy2boot.com/configuring-e2b/f1-help-menu/
4. The FOOTER help text can be removed by setting its position to just after the last line of the menu - or moved - using HBTM. The Main Menu heading is determined by the HEADING variable. As already explained, the E2B_Editor.exe GUI will help you and it already has an Options list for suppressing F1 and F8, etc.
You may find it useful to define Global Hotkeys - https://www.easy2boot.com/configuring-e2b/global-hotkeys/
and look at the Sample_MyE2B.cfg file which contains a load of example settings. Use the SITE MAP!
P.S. grub4dos does not UEFI-boot. You will need to use grub (grub2) for a UEFI menu system or the new syslinux for UEFI.

Hemorrhoid Treatment - How to get Your Life Back
There is just no choosing the person, place and occasion where hemorrhoids are concern. This problem can occur to anyone, at any place and any time. It is a very uncomfortable irritating, painful and not to mention awkward sickness to have as it affect one of the body's sensitive and delicate part.
Haemorrhoid treatment may come in many forms, with regards to the person concern's preference. But just as a background on this slightly "controversial" digestive system disorder, the causes of hemorrhoids may either be because of the lifestyle or even possibly due to one's genes.
- Let us discuss first the genetic cause; this means that getting hemorrhoids could be an "in" thing in your family.
- It could be your bloodline makes you more susceptible to getting this challenge as compared to people are.
How do you know if the cause is genetics? Simple, just look into your family's medical history... if somebody in your immediate family already received sick with hemorrhoids after that there is a large possibility that you will be also at risk of it. If your problem is due to the kind of genes you have, after that a more permanent hemorrhoid therapy may be necessary for your case.
- Second likely reason to get haemorrhoid is through our life style.
- This mainly refers to the kind of diet, or food preference we have.
- People who love to eat meat and less fruits and vegetables are more likely to suffer from hemorrhoids.
The reason for this is because there are many fruits and vegetables that are also rich in fiber, and fiber as we all know aid a lot in facilitating a better/smoother bowel movement. Hemorrhoids can be causes by exerting too much strain while disposing of your own solid waste.
INTERNAL HEMORRHOIDS Treatment How to TREAT Internal HEMORRHOIDS INTERNAL Hemorrhoids
Discover the The Only Holistic System Proven to Permanently Cure Hemorrhoids in as Little as 48 Hours, Guaranteed. CLICK HERE for more Information: ...
The strain can cause the blood vessels to burst, hence resulting to its puffiness and ultimate soreness. If this is the case for you, a highly effective haemorrhoid treatment would be to start changing your diet. It does not necessarily mean an over hauling of that which you have in the refrigerator, but it at calls for a more balance organizing of your meals and preferably an inclusion of a lot more foods rich in fiber.
Other than food choices, it would be good to be able to note that drinking at least 8 to 10 glasses of water everyday can also assure a more pile free life for you. All things considered, getting enough water can help in avoiding the chance hard as well as dry stool which would after that need more work in order to dispose of.
Both cases whether hemorrhoids is brought about by inherited genes or life style a simple and effective way for one inflicted would be to avoid any activities that would put you at greater risk of having said problem. I am saying that although there are so many haemorrhoid treatments to choose from it would be best if you could stay away from getting sick with it than having the need figure how to go about choosing a treatment for it... needless in order to include the hassle it brings to your day's schedule of actions.
