The Difference Between Content Strategy and Content Marketing – And Why We Need to Avoid Crossing the Streams
Confession, I came across an article on my LinkedIn feed recently entitled, "How B2B Companies Whip Up Content Marketing Strategies," and my eyes rolled to the back of my head. Whip up strategy? (Yes, it actually said that.) Psh! We, as marketers, need to stop making bogus claims like this to each other. That's why I'm here to drop some truth on content "strategy" once and for all.
Let's cut the BS – "Content Strategy" is NOT a tangible thing.
I can't tell you how many times I've been presented with an editorial calendar, the frequency goals for publishing on a blog, or even a mix of content types when I've asked someone to show me their content strategy. The truth is when I ask that questions it has a hidden agenda. These things are; content marketing, but they are not a content strategy. Let me illustrate this:
Content Strategy
A content strategy is a series of governing principles for producing, maintaining and evaluating your content. To sum it up into a straightforward definition, it provides the guidelines for connecting user needs with your organization's business objectives.
Content Marketing
Often confused for strategy, content marketing is the tactical component represented by the editorial calendar, campaigns, curation, and promotion. It's tangible and highly visual across the organization.
Content Planning
This is where content strategy and content marketing overlap with one another. Also confused with the content strategy because it contains sets of "guidelines" that control your goals, voice, and tone, it's a plan to execute against your strategy. It's where your audience and ideation come into fruit.
Why Do I Need a Content Strategy?
Content marketers spend countless hours producing and promoting content, but without a clear strategy, there are no guidelines for the "who and why," leaving you exposed to the danger of confusing or alienating your audience or failing to reach them at all.
To accelerate your revenue with effective content marketing, you need to set content strategy BEFORE you starting planning or producing. This strategy defines who your audience is, what they need to solve for, how they want to consume that information, and how that messaging aligns with the problems your offering can solve.
Striking the right definition and prioritization between strategy, planning and tactics is critical for marketers to achieve a return on the content they produce. It's the difference between content for the sake of content -vs.- content that generates revenue.
So, What Elements Define a Content Strategy?
The best place to begin doing this is by assessing the seven components of strategy within the Revenue Acceleration Framework and adopting those areas as the guidelines within your content strategy.
For example, here are four areas of the strategic pillar and how they relate to content:
Ideal Customer Profile (ICP): Why do we produce content in the first place? It goes back to connecting user needs with business objectives. To effectively achieve that goal, you must have your ICP clearly defined. Your ICP will frame your content strategy in the direction of an audience that has a fit/need for your offerings and can see value in what you can provide to the organization.
Buyer Process & Personas: If I asked you to write a love letter to someone you've never met, it wouldn't have the same emotional connection as writing one to your sweetheart. Content marketing acts in the same manner when you've set up a content strategy that is aligned with well-developed buyer personas.
Brand Strategy: Your brand defines how you form messaging and ideation around how you communicate your unique value and what sets you apart from your competition.
Go-to-Market Strategy: Content is about coverage and integrating your go-to-market strategy with your content strategy ensures that you are not only creating the right content at the right time – also distributing it to the right place.
User Needs <> Business Objectives
By now the definition and value of a content strategy should be clear, but I can promise that every single one of us will encounter a leader, colleague or peer sometime in our career that will blur the lines between content strategy and content marketing. Don't get me wrong, the planning and process portion of content is essential, but are tactical and are things you should always do AFTER you've determined your strategy. So the next time you see a click-bait headline about "whipping up or hacking together" a content strategy, recognize that it wasn't written for effective content marketing – scroll on, and leave that garbage in the void.

Outstanding Service
Sean and I are so grateful that we found you for training Amber and helping fix her (and our) issues with the separation anxiety she was having. Obviously living with a large German Shepherd with any type of behavior problems is rough, much less one that would chew her way out of her crate and then eat the door, carpet, or window frame. Her time with you is just what she needed and just what we needed in order to get her back on track and give us a fresh start. Thank you again! 6 months later and she is still doing great!
I am still in awe!
From the dog training to the nutritional advice to the new routine that you've given us - we truly cannot thank you enough. We clearly were a mess when we brought Bruno to you and really thought that all the freedom we gave him was a good thing (yes, we were raising him like he were another child of ours); which was doing more harm to him than good. Luckily, he was still young enough to be saved and retaught the GOOD behaviors that we envisioned. Thank you again for all of your guidance.
Very happy with the results
I am typically hard to please or impress on top of my usual skepticism. That being said, when I initially talked to Megan about the details for bringing my lab to her for a month long board and train she was very clear and upfront about what I could expect and the results that would be realistic to achieve given my dog's history. After one month, I came to pick Eddie up and I was actually blown away by the results, it was more than I thought was possible. He was relaxed and actually playing with other dogs. That was a game changer for me and I absolutely recommend Megan to everyone I know with a dog.
She's a miracle worker!!!
For 7 loooooong years, we tolerated and allowed our dog to basically run our house. He was pretty obnoxious in every way which included barking at everything - even if nothing was there, terrorizing our children, jumping, stealing, chewing our children's toys, STILL having accidents - (you get the point). I was at my breaking point when we had to replace our carpet for the 3rd time due to his potty accidents he was still having. We took him in for his initial evaluation and Megan told us it was most certainly a learned behavior and their was never any real structure in Jax's life (which there wasn't in hindsight). After 3 weeks, he came back a NEW and AMAZING dog. He was respectful, polite, well-mannered, and finally enjoyable to be around. We obviously have to keep up with the training otherwise im sure he'd try to pull his same shenanigans again. But we stick to the training program and everyone is happy!

The name "black hole" was created in 1967, but the idea is not so modern as the beginnings of the theory can be traced back to the eighteenth century. The theory of the black hole can be linked to the theory of light, which culminated in Einstein's General Theory of relativity in the early twentieth century. This theory married space and time, and could only be achieved thanks to the relative weakness of gravity as a force. As you approach a black hole, gravity becomes much stronger, so it dominates over any other force distorting the common rules of space and time, causing weird and wonderful phenomena which one cannot imagine or relate with.
Einstein's theory can be adapted to black holes (see later), but before his era, the notion of black holes had been toyed with.
It was a clergyman called John Michell who initially proposed the idea of black holes way back in 1783. He calculated that an object could have a large mass (equal to the Sun or even greater) and could also be very small – thus creating an immense gravitational pull. He also stated that there could be a large number of these objects and they would remain invisible due to their relatively minute (7 km) size.

Thirteen years later, the famous scientist Pierre Laplace also found these facts, independently of Michell. Due to his stature however, he was credited for the initial discovery, until Michell was later found to have discovered it first.
After this promising initial theory, the idea of black holes became unpopular for many years, only re-emerging with Einstein and his contemporaries in the twentieth century.
Black holes have some interesting physics behind them, mostly based on energy.
There are 2 fundamental equations which we can start with:
This is the simple equation for kinetic energy – one half mass multiplied by velocity squared.
This equation is the gravitational potential energy of an object of mass m at a distance R from a large object (or "parent body") mass M (e.g. a planet or a star).G is the gravitational constant 6.67 x 10-11 Nkg-2m2.
Black holes have an immensely strong gravitational attraction, but what could escape it? How could we work out what speed is needed to escape?
As stated before nothing can escape a black hole – so there is no attainable speed which an object can reach for it to escape from the potential well of a black hole. This is useful for defining an object that might be a black hole, as the earlier equations can be used to determine whether or not the object is a black hole if the speed needed to escape it is greater than or equal to the speed of light.
If an object is to escape from any parent body, then its initial kinetic energy must be greater than the maximum gravitational potential energy which the parent body can provide. To calculate the escape speed needed for any parent body, the following method can be used.
Using the two equations on the previous page and the assumption that the loss in kinetic energy is equal to the gain in gravitational potential energy the following statement can be written:
multiply by 2:
cancel m and square root:
So this will give the speed necessary to escape a parent body of mass M and radius R. If the value of v is greater than the speed of light, this would signify that the object is a black hole.
The radius which an object of mass M needs to be compressed to in order to become a black hole can also be calculated.
Take the final equation:
For a black hole:
where c is the speed of light.
This can be rearranged thus:
So the radius of a black hole is very small indeed, as c2 is on the bottom of the equation this meaning that the number produced for R is always going to be a minute fraction of the mass of the object.
Their diminutive size means that black holes are impossible to view directly. Instead other methods have been developed for their detection.
Black holes are invisible, so you may think that it is impossible to detect their presence if you can't see them. This is not the case however, as by measuring the effects a black hole's gravity has on its surrounding space (and any objects therein) is fairly simple, and there are several characteristics which are thought to be unique to black holes.
1. Mass
Due to its huge mass, a black hole causes strange things to occur around it. If a black hole is near another star, then the star's matter is pulled towards the black hole. The black hole is said to accrete matter into itself – which forms an Accretion Disc around the circumference of the black hole
Picture courtesy NASA
By observing what occurs to objects around a black hole (factors such as rotation speed) the mass of the black hole can be estimated using Keplar's Third Law. The picture below shows the core of a galaxy called NGC 4261. The brown disc at the centre is the same size as our solar system, but the body which it is orbiting around weighs 1.2 billion times as much as the Sun. For this mass to be compressed into such a relatively small space the most feasible explanation is a black hole.

2. Discharge of X-Rays and Jets
When matter has been drawn into a black hole's accretion disc, the gravitational force accelerates the material to immense speed, causing it to heat up to millions of degrees Kelvin. This superheated material emits strong x-ray radiation and can be detected using a high power x-ray telescope. The most powerful x-ray telescope is the Chandra X-ray Observatory, in orbit above the earth.
Another form of discharge from black holes is a jet, a high speed blast of material which can be detected with either radio telescopes or regular high power telescopes. The picture on the next page shows an image of a jet from galaxy M87. The top left and bottom images are from radio telescopes and the top right image is from the Hubble Space Telescope.

3. Gravity Lens
It was Einstein's General Theory of Relativity which predicted that gravity could bend space. This theory has since been proven correct, and large distortions in space have been attributed to black holes. Below is a picture from the Hubble Space Telescope. Notice that the rightmost image seems to show 2 stars very close to each other. In fact there is only one star, but there is an object in between the star and the telescope. This object has bent the space (and therefore the light) as a lens would – the explanation is a black hole. Invisible but very powerful.
Photo courtesy NASA/Space Telescope Science Institute
There are two proposed types of black hole:
1. Schwarzschild
2. Kerr
Both the Schwarzschild and Kerr black holes have two features in common, the singularity and the event horizon. The singularity is what remains of the core of the collapsed star. It sits right in the centre of the black hole, in a huge gravitational potential well. Below is an artist's impression of a black hole – notice the huge dip in the fabric of space time at the singularity.
Photo courtesy NASA
The event horizon is the periphery of the black hole, and is the point of no return for any object which travels past it on its way into the black hole. Nothing can escape a black hole once it has crossed the event horizon.
The Kerr black hole is the most common, and the main difference between this and the Schwarzschild hole is that it rotates. A normal star rotates, so when it collapses its momentum is conserved, causing the core to rotate. This, coupled with the massive gravity causes the space around the event horizon to be pulled in a circular motion around the black hole. This area of spinning space is called the Ergosphere. It is usually egg-shaped and it is what causes an accretion disc to form if material is sucked into it. The edge of the ergosphere, where it meets ordinary still space, is called the Static Limit.
With current physics knowledge, it is not known what exactly happens to an object after it has crossed the event horizon. The gravity from the black hole is such that time itself will stop for any observers outside the hole trying to look in – so observing an object falling into a black hole could not be achieved. It is extremely doubtful that anyone could survive near a black hole due to the immense forces involved.
The most likely candidate for a black hole is called Cygnus X-1. It was found in the early 1960's as a strong source of x-rays in the Cygnus (swan) constellation. The suspected black hole is part of what is known as a binary system, where planets orbit two stars which are very close to each other. One of the stars in this particular system has collapsed into Cygnus X-1. The other star, snappily titled HDE 226868, is being pulled into the black hole forming an accretion disc.
It was observed that the star increased in brightness every 5.6 days. This was attributed to the fact that the star appears egg shaped when the black hole and the star are viewed side-by-side. The increased surface area of the star in this position means that more light is produced than when the black hole is in front or behind the star, when the star will appear circular.
However, not only a black hole could produce this effect. There could be a very small star next to HDE 226868, or a neutron star (left behind when a smaller star dies). There was however, evidence to suggest that this was not the case.
A small star was a reasonable explanation for the change in brightness of HDE226868, as the huge distance of the Earth from the Cygnus system would mean that such a small object would not be distinguishable. Further examination of the evidence though proved this idea unlikely. The object was emitting powerful x-rays – something which small stars are not commonly known to do.
So with a small star discounted, the scientists went on to disprove the theory of a neutron star. Neutron stars rotate very fast, and emit light at regular intervals (they are also known as pulsars for this very reason). Below is a graph showing the emissions of the neutron star Hercules X-1.
Note how the wave period is almost constant, and the amplitude is also fairly regular – this is a very typical example of a neutron star. When this graph is compared to the one from Cygnus X-1, it becomes obvious that it is not a neutron star.
The other factor which swung Cygnus X-1 in favour of the black hole theorists was its mass. It was estimated that Cygnus X-1 had a mass of around 9 solar masses, that is to say that it is 9 times more massive than the Sun. Neither a neutron star or a white dwarf (the other 2 types of dead star) could weigh so much. A white dwarf cannot weigh more than 1.4 solar masses1 and a neutron star cannot weigh more than 3 or 4 solar masses.2
So scientists are almost completely convinced that Cygnus X-1 is a black hole, and the proof of this would be the culmination of years of theory and data collection.
1Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar discovered this limit – it is now known as the Chandrasekhar limit.
2J.R. Oppenheimer and G.M. Volkoff determined the upper mass of a neutron star. It is called the Oppenheimer-Volkoff mass.
A black hole of 9 solar masses is fairly typical, however some cosmologists think that there are hugely massive black holes, with masses that exceed a billion times our own Sun. Some think that these holes are at the centre of spiral galaxies (such as our own milky way) and the spiral effect is like a hue accretion disc surrounding the hole.
There are theories (mainly speculative) that link black holes with the science fiction world of wormholes. Einstein stated that wormholes could exist, but never proved it. A wormhole is said to be a way of travelling from one area of space to another very quickly, and speculation suggests that black holes may be linked together. This would certainly be useful for interstellar travel in the far future if proven correct, but the majority of the science world seems sceptical. However if a probe was sent into a black hole and was found to have emerged in a different section of space, this would definitely have implications on the future of space travel.
The fascination with black holes was mainly fuelled by Hollywood in the 1950's and 60's, when science fiction was in its heyday. Films and magazines depicted black holes as cosmic vacuum cleaners, objects of destruction which eventually sucked up everything. This however is not the case, for example if the Sun somehow turned into a black hole, the Earth would continue to orbit it as before, apart from the lack of light
This general ignorance and fear amongst the public seemed to make black holes among the most popular areas of physics, but if more knew the truth, then maybe black holes would not have the same mysterious effect.
There is overwhelming evidence, in my opinion at least, that black holes exist. What lies inside a black hole is not for me to speculate. No matter what occurs inside a black hole it is sure to be fascinating whenever it is discovered. After researching this topic, I have found a great deal of information which was new and surprising to me and it has consolidated my interest in the topic.

Bond. James Bond.
007 is a masculine film icon. He's handsome, debonair, and dangerous. He completely epitomizes the French idea of savoir faire — the ability to know what to do in any situation.
Bond is so damn manly, it'd be easy to think that he was purely the creation of author Ian Fleming's imagination. But in fact, Bond was inspired by a real-life WWII spy, and his life and career was even more Bond-like than James Bond himself.
My guest today has written a biography of the real-life inspiration for James Bond. His name is Larry Loftis and he's the author of the book Into The Lion's Mouth: The True Story of Dusko Popov: World War II Spy, Patriot, and the Real-Life Inspiration for James Bond. Today on the show we talk about Dusko Popov and his career as a double agent during WWII. Larry and I discuss how Dusko got involved with spying, the insanely dangerous missions he went on, and the real-life encounter between him and Ian Fleming that inspired one of popular culture's most iconic characters.
Show Highlights
- How Larry stumbled across the amazing, true-life story of Dusko Popov
- How Popov became a double agent for the UK during WWII
- Why being a spy is one of the most dangerous jobs to have during war
- How Popov was reporting to six different agencies from three different countries at the same time
- Why Popov took the enormous risk of becoming a double-agent
- Dusko's Bond-like personality and charm
- Why Lisbon was a hotbed of espionage activity during WWII
- Ian Fleming's career as a naval intelligence officer
- The real-life backgammon bet that Ian Fleming saw Dusko partcipate in that inspired Casino Royale
- Popov's mission in the United States
- How J. Edgar Hoover made Popov's job of keeping his German cover difficult
- How Walter Winchell nearly blew Popov's cover by writing an article about his relationship with movie star Simone Simon
- Why returning back to Lisbon by orders of the Germans consituted Dusko's "jumping into the lion's mouth"
- Popov's training with famed combat fighters William Fairbairn and Eric Sykes
- Popov's life after the war
- Life lessons on being a man from Dusko Popov
- And much more!
Resources/Studies/People Mentioned in Podcast

Sacredness of Creation
Dirty Water
Key Concept: We help God take care of creation.
Scripture: Genesis 1:31, Doctrine and Covenants 163:4b
Song: "God of Creation" Community of Christ Sings #147
Sing first two lines of the first verse plus the refrain
Place an attractive rock in a tall clear bowl and fill it two-thirds full of water. Add a small plastic frog, fish, or turtle. Talk with the children about all the creatures that live in the water. Discuss what those creatures must feel like when people don't take care of the water. Pour bits of torn newspaper into the water and ask how the creatures might feel when we litter their home. Pour some red, purple, or brown colored soda pop or fruit drink into the water. Have they ever found a soda pop can in a lake or river? Next, pour soot or dirt into the water. Explain that factories sometimes put junk like that in the water. Ask if they think the fish, frogs, and turtles like living in this water. Would they want to drink this water? Give children a glass of clean water to drink. Talk about how we can partner with God by taking care of the water in the lakes and streams near our homes.
Challenge: Invite children (and families) to a picnic near a lake or stream. Walk together along the shore. Look for living things in and around the water. Pick up trash and throw away.
Keywords: creation, pollution, environment, object lesson
Noticing God
Key Concept: We can see God in creation.
Scripture: Isaiah 40:28
Song: "God Made the Land"
(Sung to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." From Sharing in Community of Christ: Ages 3–5, by Tiffany Jackson)
God made the land, and God made the sea. (Hold hands out, palms down)
God made it all, and God loves me. (Arms wide, then point to self)
God made day and the sun so bright. (Touch fingertips overhead)
God made the moon and the stars at night. (Wiggle fingers for twinkling stars)
God made the land, and God made the sea. (Hold hands out, palms down)
God made it all, and God loves me. (Arms wide, then point to self)
Set up a special table or shelf for displaying a "noticing God collection." Talk to the children about finding something that is special to add. Take a walk through nature to begin the collection. Look at all the things God has created. Be sure to mention each person on the walk. Let everyone gather one thing to bring back to the collection. Tell them to collect things that make them think of God. You don't need to define it any further than that. Have each person add their item to the noticing collection. Items might be a flower, a rock, or a shell. But it could also be a piece of rope, a ribbon, or a squeeze ball. It doesn't matter if the item is from nature or made by people. What matters is that it is beautiful or special to that person. Then talk together about the things you noticed and why they were special to you. Why did it make you think of God? This activity is a way of being mindful of God's presence in our world.
Challenge: Encourage parents and children to do this activity at home as a family. Uphold God's presence by adding to the collection each day.

Fishing and Hunting
The Tongariro River is fed by tributaries that flow off the surrounding hill ranges and mountains within the Tongariro National Park region. The river then winds its way north, through the township of Turangi before entering Lake Taupo.
The Tongariro River is arguably New Zealand's most fished river and a magnet for anglers from all over the word, who come to the Tongariro to fish for rainbow and brown trout, which run up the river to spawn. Around 75% of the trout in the Tongariro are rainbows, and 25% are browns.
The Tongariro is considered to be one of the best trout fishing rivers in the world, and a large part of its charm lies in its accessibility. New Zealand's State Highway 1 follows the river for a number of kilometres providing anglers with easy access to the many pools and rapids. For the cost of an adult Taupo Fishing License (24 hours NZ$17.00, one week NZ$38.00 and NZ$90.00 for a full season July 1st to June 30th license for 2016-2017 year) anyone can fish the river and it is not unusual to see locals fishing alongside overseas anglers or celebrities (who will often be fishing with the help of a guide). Click here to purchase Lake Taupo Licence
Many of the Pools on the Tongariro River are named after people who have fished the river (e.g. Duchess Pool, Major Jones Pool, Admirals Pool), or by their location (Birch Pool, Island Pool, Red hut Pool etc). Floods have altered the size and shape of many of these pools through the years but many such as the Major Jones Pool have largely remained little changed over the years.
The Tongariro is a fly fishing river only. Popular fishing methods are nymphing, wet lining and dry fly techniques. The Tongariro roll cast, similar to a single-handed spey cast, was developed on this river. The Tongariro roll cast is used to cast a fly-line in situations where there are obstacles that would obstruct the angler from using the more traditional fly-casting techniques.
Hunting in Turangi Tongariro
Turangi Tongariro is an angler's heaven, but the region is also a hunter's paradise with the nearby Kaimanawa and Tongariro Forests being poplar hunting lands for sika, red deer, wild pigs and goats and offering great walks with panoramic views along the way.

For four days up to 100 businesses offered special deals and discounts to shoppers as part of the 31st annual Cedarhurst Summer Sidewalk Sale in the village's business district.
"I used to walk by and watch it go on, but I never took part in it until this year," said Lawrence resident Anthony Philippou, 24, who works at the menswear store Emporio Clothing at 467 Central Ave. "It always interested me though. Everyone is out here and it seems like we have 100 people passing by us every day. We're selling things, we're doing good and business is good."
Established in 1988 by the Cedarhurst Business Association and continued by the Cedarhurst Business Improvement District after its formation in 1993, the summer sale is designed to generate business during a slow time of the year by attracting customers to the stores with larger than usual discounts. This year the sale was July, 10, 11, 12 and 14.
Cedarhurst village Trustee Ari Brown, a BID board member since 1998, was pleased with the turnout for the sidewalk sale. "The village and the Business Improvement District have other yearly events like Black Friday and Midnight Madness as well as the Summer Sidewalk Sale," Brown said. "We have people coming in from places like Brooklyn and New Jersey, and the restaurants especially do much better as a result of the sale."
New stores, like high-end sneaker store Central Hype on 523 Central Ave. that has been in business since October 2018, appreciate the boost that the sales event gives them. "We have all the highly popular sneakers that you can typically find in SoHo or somewhere else in the city, but we brought it to Long Island," said North Woodmere resident Max Kermin, 20, co-owner of Central Hype. "It's great, because it gives us more people coming in and new customers that help us to really get our name out there, so events like this are not only great for us but for the whole community as well."
Central Hype began as Kermin's middle school obsession and grew into a full-time business. "Me and my business partner, David Katz, got into collecting sneakers around late middle school and now since the whole 'hype culture' became more mainstream we ended up getting to the point where our inventory wasn't fitting in our house and we decided to open up a store," Kermin said.
Cafe Chocolat, a candy store at 556 Central Ave., also took part in the sales event. "We've been doing the event for 12 years," said Far Rockaway resident Yosaif Krohn, 35, owner of Cafe Chocolat. "We gain a nice boost going into the beginning of the summer because of the increase in traffic and it's a big deal for us. Central Avenue in the last couple of years has gone from a roaming shopping scene to a destination shopping area and things like the Summer Sidewalk Sale and the Midnight Madness get shoppers interested in the other stores in the area."
Brown noted that Cedarhurst is one of the most "premiere shopping districts" in the area, and that the BID's board works together with shop owners to help fill vacancies and promote annually-held, sales-related affairs. "It was a nice event this year, and it gets better every year that we do it," he said.

'Be Clear on Cancer' campaign – risk of breast cancer – women 70 and over
Public Health England has launched a nationwide 'Be Clear on Cancer' campaign aimed at women aged 70 and over to drive awareness of the risk of breast cancer amongst this age group and to increase their knowledge of lesser-known breast cancer symptoms.
Around 13,400 women aged 70 and over are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, accounting for a third of all breast cancer cases. Approximately 30% of all women diagnosed with breast cancer report a symptom other than a lump. However, research shows that when asked to name symptoms of breast cancer, only half of women over 70 (48%) could name a symptom aside from a lump
Despite older women being at an increased risk of breast cancer, they are also more likely to delay going to their GP with breast cancer symptoms. This year's campaign activity reinforces the message 'don't assume you're past it', urging older women to visit their doctor straight away if they notice any unusual or persistent changes to their breasts such as a lump or a change to a nipple or to the skin or the shape of a breast. The campaign also encourages carers and family or friends of women over 70 to be breast aware and talk to them about the signs and symptoms of breast cancer, and if they have any signs encourage them to see their doctor.
The campaign first launched nationally in early 2014 and research shows that it successfully raised awareness that the risk of breast cancer increases with age. Promising results show a 25% increase in the number of breast cancers diagnosed in women aged 70 and over following an urgent GP referral for suspected breast cancer during the campaign period compared with the same period two years earlier.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in England, with around 41,200 women diagnosed every year.3 National figures show that around 9,500 women die from breast cancer each year and over half of these are women aged 70 and over (5,400). This equates to around 15 women aged 70 and over dying from breast cancer in England every day.
Early diagnosis of breast cancer is crucial and means treatment is more likely to be successful. If breast cancer is diagnosed at the earliest stage in women aged 70 and over, 93% will live for at least another five years. This figure drops to just 13% for those diagnosed at the most advanced stage.
Professor Dame Sally Davies, Chief Medical Officer, comments:
"You are never too old to get breast cancer. It is not always a lump and women should look out for any changes in the shape of the breast, a change to a nipple or to the skin.
"Spotting the signs of cancer early is very important so if women are concerned about any breast cancer symptoms they should contact their GP straight away."
Virginia Wade, OBE, British former professional tennis player is supporting the campaign and comments:
"I've just turned 70, which makes this campaign really relevant to me and women like me. The statistics speak for themselves, one in three women who get breast cancer are over 70.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in England. Sadly everyone knows someone who has been touched by breast cancer, which is why I'm supporting this.

Well, well, well. The Emmy nominations are out today, and Todd Haynes's adaptation of Mildred Pierce is the leading contender with a whopping 21 nominations. Given the pedigree and the attention to period detail, this doesn't strike me as a big surprise, but meh? I admit that I never got past the second episode, and a dear friend whose taste I can reliably trust insists that the final episode's a doozy, but I honestly found myself bored. The pace felt plodding instead of deliberate, everything looked like a museum exhibition instead of a part of the contemporary times, and I ultimately decided a better use of five hours would be rereading James M. Cain's novel while imagining Joan Crawford as Mildred. Sorry, Mildred Pierce (2011), but congratulations all the same!
That said, there is a single nomination that may actually get me to give a flip for once and tune in to the Emmy's this year:
Why it's Randee Heller, Miss Blankenship, from the fourth season of Mad Men! Ms. Heller is up for Best Guest Actress in a Drama against Cara Buono (Mad Men), Mary McDonnell (The Closer), Joan Cusack (Shameless), Loretta Devine (Grey's Anatomy), Julia Stiles (Dexter), and Alfre Woodard (True Blood), which makes this the only Emmy category I've any investment in, because it's Miss motherfuckin' Blankenship!
Sure, I kinda dropped the ball with my irresponsible Mad Men recaps this past season, but I'll if I hadn't, those recaps would've been a Miss Blankenship love train until *SPOILER ALERT* she headed off to the big
S&M dungeon ad agency in the sky, at which point those recaps would've been group therapy sessions for our (my) irrepressible case of the boohoo crybaby tears. My point is that the Emmys should give this woman the award. NOW. That way brilliance is recognized, justice is served, and I still will have never watched the Emmys.
Much love to Dlisted for the news, and to Newsweek and Warming Glow for the respective pics.

text: depaor01 #1 Posted 14 November , 2018 Hope someone can help me on this one. Some time ago I gave a talk on the RFC/RAF at Tallaght Aerodrome. Afterwards, a member of the audience mentioned that a book had been written about the aerodrome by, I think, a pilot stationed there. The book recounted incidents like locals getting into trouble for not removing their caps for God Save the King, and other less controversial incidents. A visitor to our library has asked about it. Is anyone familiar with such a book? If the author's name was produced I'd know immediately if it's the right one. Thanks in advance, Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the previous post, I wrote about should paid reviews exist? Here in this post, I want to talk about why reviews still matter in this day and age of digital marketing where just one click and post can just reach out to millions within the reach.
For a consumer like you who is bored and watching a movie, reading a book or consuming any product or service, a petty thing like review would be a pain in the butt as you might be too bored or lazy to write a few words about it. But, your words have a value and have a bigger impact than what you imagine. The industry of reviewing works just because an average consumer is surely lazy or unknown about leaving a review at the right place.
In this digital world, social media and shopping website algorithms are trained to put up those products which have more reviews, good or bad comes in the second recommendation as reviews are only given after someone has actually bought the product right? The products which might be good enough but haven't had enough reviews are just pushed down in the algorithm race. I don't say what kind of products are generally pushed down the line or which ones are brought up, that all depends on individual marketplace or the algorithm creator.
For an average consumer, a few lazy written words can have impact on someone's bread and butter. With such huge risk, most companies and agencies start approaching review agencies. I can assume at least half of them are still ethical but let's just be real, there are more than that who just take in money and leave blatantly fake reviews which at times we all come across once we get a taste of them after buying the product which had one of those.
Imagine, if just one reader, leaves their opinion on the book wherever its been selling, the book gets an algorithm boost there. Opinion and its ranking is a secondary matter but surely, that first option itself means that people are indeed talking about the product its a result of good marketing and product itself as we very well know that not every product is for everyone.
But imagine, if you as a reader, don't post a review on a book you so loved and yet someone who is imagine from so termed fake review teams working for a competitive product, leaves a fake bad review. Would another person even take a chance buying that book again?
When I did a little survey of my own, I discovered that most don't even bother reading the reviews, or writing them. It's like ignoring a hungry lion in front of you isn't the best strategy when you both are locked up in a cage. Ignoring an issue doesn't solve it on its own for sure. Just your ignorance about that factor doesn't account much in the way the systems are been built today. There are people who actually take reviews into consideration before buying things as most can't afford the luxury of taking a risk.
Amazon is a very famous place who's been regularly plagued by spammers in such cases. Even for the most products which we know are genuine you'd find a one star review, just to bring its ranking down.
I discovered, most consumers wrote a review only when they had some sort of grudge against delivery, product etc.. but most who enjoyed barely cared to write about it at all. I know many businesses are looking past the reviews but it might take a while and in this mean time, someone out there might lose his job or bread-butter just because of a simple review. Ever imagined words from an average person can be so powerful?
There are many things which happen in the review based marketing, things like agencies leaving bad reviews on competitors products so just they get pushed down by the algorithm, boosting their own products in meantime by adding positive reviews and many more are the tricks. Of course these things are noticed very and dealt with in some situations but in most cases they are just to smart to execute that algorithm punishes someone and they aren't even aware of it until their account suddenly goes under scrutiny for selling bad products effectively getting them out of competition.
The damage is been done then. It's most of the times too late to make a new account and start again for most businesses. At times, it goes unnoticed and even ignored by bigger companies and institutions as they won't be involving themselves in every dog and cat fight when they get the benefit out of it or it might be bad for their own public image if something like this comes out.
So what should you do to deal with this? I know this question would be in most minds. You should just try to leave some sort of review, words, comments on any platform which certainly helps the things you love to pop up. Once common masses start talking about it, a few agencies working from the shadows won't be able to cope up with the sheer amount of earth's population even if 10% is talking about that one thing. I hope my point is clear.
Do comment and share your thoughts about it! I'd love to know what do you think. Also, I'd keep updating it quite often so do follow the blog to get all the updates by clicking here.
Also, a minor headsup.... Obsessed is free to read on Kindle Unlimited! Do check it out. I'd be glad to read your reviews!

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has acknowledged that it is possible he could leave the club before the end of his current contract - due to expire in 2019 - as he will review his position with the Gunners board come May as he normally does at the end of each season.
Wenger had made comments about such an end of season review at last month's Arsenal 'Annual General Meeting', which some wrongly interpreted as an admittance that club officials are seriously thinking about parting company with the Frenchman 12 months early.
But the 68-year-old three-time Premier League winner has insisted that his words were taken out of context and that nothing out of the ordinary is happening.
"I said I'll sit down with the board at every 'end of the season' and see where we go from there, so that's not exactly the same [as what people interpreted]," he told beIN SPORTS.
EXCLUSIVE: Wenger denies the @Arsenal board will review his position at the end of the season but admits he may not see out the remainder of his contract. #PL #AFC pic.twitter.com/rq9bGVZuEJ— beIN SPORTS (@beINSPORTS) November 15, 2017
"Sometimes you say a sentence and people turn it the way they would like to go.
"I have a two-year contract and will always try to go to the end of my contract, but will always have the honesty to sit down with the board and see where we go from there."
From winning the FA Cup last season, but finishing 5th in the Premier League, Arsenal have endured a mixed start to the new 2017/18 campaign.
The Gunners have already secured safe passage into the knockout rounds of the Europa League with two games of the group stage to spare, but are struggling to keep pace with the title contenders on a domestic front after losing four of their opening 11 games.
Arsenal are 12 points off leaders Manchester City already and sit level on points with Burnley.

Given the large scale and consumption of the health-care sector, necessitated by its 24/7 operation hours, CO2 emissions are high. In response to this, the LCB-HEALTHCARE project tested innovation procurement and carbon reduction methodologies within hospitals in four countries; England, the Netherlands, Norway and Poland. The project, which ended in October 2012, recently published its experiences and lessons learned.
10 main lessons were uncovered, ranging from the necessity of understanding potential future needs, to involving users in the procurement process, to finding the best value as opposed to the lowest price. The advantages of being an ambitious customer and asking for what is needed, rather than what is currently possible, was also emphasised. The guidance is complete with case study examples from European health-care centres.
Through increasing procurement of innovation it was demonstrated that tangible benefits arise to both patients and the environment. Dr Jonathan Frost, Industry Chairman of the LCB-HEALTHCARE Steering Group, said: "Companies and investors will innovate and invest to provide cost effective solutions to meet our needs. But, only if policies and the behaviour of customers support the business case for their investment. This means changing the way [the healthcare sector] engages with suppliers and plans and manages purchasing."

That's right; there are three methods for getting part of a string out of a larger string. First, you can use slice. It takes two parameters: the first parameter is the starting index, and the second one is the ending index, meaning the index of the character after the last character in the desired substring. If you leave the second one off, it will slice until the end of the string.
var greeting = "Hello, Enotes, what's up?",
name = greeting.slice(7, 13);
alert(name); // Enotes
These index parameters can also be negative numbers, which means they "count" from the end of the string. This way, -1 is the last item in the string, -2 is the second last, and so on.
An alternative to slice is substr. The first parameter is the same as slice the starting index but the second parameter is the length of the substring:
var greeting = "Hello, Enotes, what's up?",
name = greeting.substr(7, 6);
alert(name); // Enotes
Since you're string can't have a negative length, you can't use a negative number for the second parameter (you can use a negative number for the first parameter, though). Of course, that second parameter is optional, if you want the rest of the string.
Finally, there's substring. This works similarly to slice, except when it comes to negative values. A negative value for either parameter acts as 0 it refers to the start of the string. The neat thing about substring is that, unlike slice, the second parameter can be lower than the first (while still positive). When this is the case, substring goes back to the character of that index. For example,
var greeting = "Hello, Enotes, what's up?",
name = greeting.substring(13, 7);
alert(name); // Enotes

Bush Tax Cut Plan
I will be analyzing & explaining the tax cut proposals in more depth over the next few weeks. In the meantime, if you are like most people and mostly concerned about "what's in it for you," you can check out this calculator on the Bush website. I haven't verified the calculations, but trust it will be close to an accurate representation.
In fact, I would trust anything from the Bush people 100% more than the lies and distortions from the members of the JackAss Party and their accomplices in the mainstream media who never tire of falsely portraying any tax reduction as "fiscally irresponsible " & a "windfall for the evil rich."
