Social Media is no doubt here to stay, we've seen this grow and be a key part of a developing business of the last few years, how they engage and reach out to their customer base, so here our the key trends for another successful year of social media marketing for your business.
Engagement is should be top of your list
Facebook often updates its algorithm and for us the key one was made in early 2018 when they announced a focus on meaningful interactions. So what does this mean? well their algorithm started favouring content that sparks a genuine conversation, which should inspire your business page owners to really try and create more engaging content. So as this organic reach becomes far more harder, the only way for a business to reach out to new and existing customer is to ensure that their content is interesting, appealing and engaging so its time for 2019 to really think of what your business strategy for every channel to continue reaching your followers where ever they may be.
Influencer marketing and the rise of micro-influencers
You will no doubt have heard all about influencer marketing and how big brands are using trend setters as part of their marketing mix and indeed for influencers the benefit is being able to reach a dedicated audience and they can make considerable sums through things like paid sponsorships and the like. For a growing business the big influencers are becoming more expensive so this is where the micro-influencers come into play, maybe its a instagrammer with a massive reach in the Devon restaurant trade or a school mum, both of these nano-influencers could work for your business if you have a restaurant in Torbay or a book shop for example. The key part is that you don't require a big budget to work with them but you may need to spend more time on the research to find the perfect one.
The use of social media for selling
The use of social media is moving from awareness and engagement and moving towards consideration and sales enablement in your business sales funnel: does your business have a plan for this?
Artificial Intelligence and customer service
The use of automated bots and automated messaging have already shown up in many businesses customer service and indeed if you have a GMail account this is already reading your emails and suggesting suitable replies. There can be no doubt that social media has made it easier for customers to reach a business and this in turn leads to customer expectations about a far better response time from the business concerned. It is our prediction that in 2019 this will bring an ever increasing adoption of artificial intelligence as part of social customer service and it's time for business to give it a try.
Stories, stories, stories
The use of stories has grown massively in 2018 since Snapchat first rolled them out, they have been adopted by competitors social networks and are emerging now as a key element of customer engagement simply as they're seen be far more genuine, in short stories are short user-generated photo and video collections that disappear after 24 hours.
The end of fake followers
It used to be that a business could overnight have 10,000 followers, they bought these for a fee and for any social media concerned about its reputation this had to stop as they all want a social network where people (and brands) can grow their community through genuine interest and engagement, not fake followers. This significant change started rolling out mid 2018 and we predict that 2019 will prove that the number of followers will not be as relevant anymore comparing to the actual influence and engagement that you're having within your community.
So in summary your business should not be chasing an increase in followers on any social network if you're not already engaging with your existing ones. A smart business in 2019 will spend more time on growing their community organically increasing engagement with interesting and relevant content.

In 2018 your business needs a digital marketing strategy and this needs to constantly evolve if you hope to stay ahead of your competition, we have a wealth of experience in managing this and developing new strategies for customers as their businesses evolve . As alot of it involves staying on top of current marketing trends and keeping your website and social media profiles properly updated their are also some key issues to be aware of, so here are a few things that you can do that will help your business work better online.
Consistent tone of voice across all social channels
A customer should be able to recognize your business through the look of the business and how you 'speak' online, if you want one of the best examples 'Just Do It' is one of the simplest, most recognisable slogans of all time – a line Nike has used for the past 15 years – what is your business tone?
Multiple Devices are here to stay
Now more than ever your strategy needs to focus away from only how your business features on a computer screen, to how it features on mobiles, tablets. So your digital marketing strategy should cater to that with ads scaled to fit mobile devices and webpages that can be viewed easily on any device. Mobile ads should even take priority over television and radio ads, especially if you're targeting a younger demographic.
Time to automate your Content Marketing
There area a multitude of tools that marketers can use to publish content across multiple social media platforms and these tools have evolved to allow you to create and publish content automatically with the push of a button. Social media is even more important than ever in 2018, and the ability to quickly post content to a wider audience will help you stay ahead of your competition.
Please ensure that you share useful content
As important as it is to come up with your own content, you shouldn't hesitate to share other people's content if you find it useful and interesting. This is a great way to share links back to your own content and reach a wider audience, especially if you stick to content that is relevant to your own company. You should read out post Social Media and the rule of Two Thirds for more helpful advice on getting this right.
These are just a few things that you can do to stay on top of digital marketing trends during the coming year. As simple as they may seem, they won't help you if you don't put in the proper effort. Always work to keep your website and social media profiles updated, and pay close attention to your competition. Digital marketing changes quickly, and you want to make sure you aren't left behind.
More than ever in 2018 developing a digital strategy for your business shouldn't be just an afterthought – the businesses that succeed will be the ones that make it integral to their business growth from the start. Now the sales bit, if you need help in creating your digital strategy for your business then please call us on 01392 241653 or contact us through the website here for a no obligation conversation.
If your business does not have a digital strategy then how do you know where you're heading and what you're trying to achieve?
In this post we identify 5 problems that in our experience will effect the operation of your business if you do not have a clear Digital Plan.
Your business has no focus
We find that businesses with a digital plan do not also have a set of business goals for what they want to achieve in terms of customer development or business growth and if you do not have these business have goals you likely do not have enough resources to reach the goals and you then do not evaluate whether you're achieving those goals.
Do you really know your customers at all?
There can be no doubt that digital is one of the most measurable marketing tools ever. However alot of the common statistical programs in use today will only tell you volume, not demographics and touchpoints – so how do you identify areas you can improve unless you know them?
Your business is not integrated
We often find if a business does have some kind of digital activity this is not focused on the business its run by 'John who knows facebook' at the same time as being a salesperson or the managers PA as she has a few spare hours a week. This should be integrated with your business so everyone buys into the digital plan and can play their part in identifying opportunities for the business to grow online.
You are loosing out to competitors who do have a clear digital plan
Pretty much every business we work with has some form of statistical monitoring of enquiry traffic and even just traffic – Facebook insights??. Unfortunately for alot of business this is as far as they go, they do not review and then act on the results of that review so they can decide where to implement the key aspects of the business marketing like email marketing and social media marketing.
Your marketing is not cost effective
Digital in 2016 has to be one of the most cost effective ways for any business to reach its target market, the only issue the growing business we work with come across is the lack of specific specialist digital skills which make it difficult for the business to respond effectively and this is where we come in as your outsourced digital partner.
So there you have it, five clear issued that will be effecting your business if you do not have a clear Digital Plan – if you are one of those businesses why not get in touch now, through the website here OR call us on 01392 241653 for a no obligation chat…
The old adage that word of mouth wins customers is even more true in this digital age but these days many people will then use a search engine just to check out that recommendation. What happens next is the decider before buying or moving on and it appears that there is significant research that demonstrates that people will move on due to negative online comments.
So how should you respond to negative online comments? well these are our seven steps for dealing with negative online comments.
1. Respond quickly
If you are a BIG brand a customer will expect a pretty quick response, within the hour we'd suggest is best and you are likely to find those big brands monitor all the social channels with a dedicated team and will respond quickly.
2. Stay in the channel
There is nothing worse for a customer who raises an issue in say Facebook for a business to then want to move that conversation elsewhere, no they wanted the conversation in facebook so keep it in that channel.
3. Admit when you are wrong
If a complaint does comes in then it helps to have a common strategy for dealing with it and try to be as honest as possible when responding to online feedback, if you don't then you are likely to be found out.
4. Do your best to put the issue right
For many businesses there can be no doubt that Social media is the best thing that has happened to customer service because if they're good at it, any company can build a reputation for quality fast but on the flip side, if a company is poor at customer service, it's now far easier to find out.
5. Don't differ in how you would handle a situation between channels
Try to be as honest as possible when responding to any online feedback and don't hide comments you receive, or make any excuses.
6. Be human not corporate – let your employees be themselves it will help them to develop a rapport with the customer
If you have someone complain who is in the mindset where they want to defame or attack your business online and that you get the site where they are doing that shut down or a comment taken down, then the chances are the complainer will just take that complain elsewhere on another channel. So it's best to open up a sensible dialogue with the person criticising you and take steps to resolve an issue in the first place.
7. Remember that thousands of people could read your response
If your twitter feed has a large number of followers bear in mind that any response can be amplified far quicker to a far larger audience so make sure that you establish the truth and if it requires a response – here is a great opportunity to turn a negative to a positive.
So there you have our seven steps for dealing with negative online comments, and now the sales pitch if you need help or even just a no obligation chat then why not contact us through the website here – we'd love to show you how the team at Gleave Media can help your business proposer on Social Media.
Sometimes it pays to think outside of the box. This is especially true when trying to keep your brand fresh and uniform across the variety of social media platforms that your customers visit every day. Here are four ways you can keep your brand on course through using social media:
In building a successful brand, it is important to keep your eye on the potential risks to the company's reputation. As the landscape of social media platforms change with trends and social media users, what are the potential risks to your brand reputation? How are these risks manageable?
Social media platforms are a precious resource of honest customer feedback. Focus on these comments to find out what people really think about your brand. They will also likely be mentioning any of your competitor's brands, giving you an opportunity to find out where to spend more time and resources in brand development for your business.
When you know what your customers are thinking, you are in a better position to take the next step. You can know what they want and have it waiting for them when they are ready for it. This kind of positioning makes sure they have what they want and it gives you more time to prepare a uniform brand across multiple platforms.
This is especially beneficial if you have a new brand or up-and-coming, So study the freely available public data all of which you can glean from social networks – search.twitter.com anyone? You will find there is a multitude of data that can tell you all about your competitors and their customer base. This information should give you a wealth of background knowledge on your competitors and how these customers react to new brand products.
When you need fresh ideas and innovative strategies, look to social media platforms as the go-to source of information and inspiration. These ideas can help meet your brand-building needs while giving you fresh approaches to utilize in brand conformity. This is where Gleave Media can come in and help you plan, stratagise and then deliver a first class experience for your customers placing you ahead of your competitors, if this sounds like something you business could do with then please get in touch for a no obligation discussion, we'd love to hear from you.
These days pretty much every business has some kind of social media presence yet still some business don't seem to gain any proactive benefit from these fabulous social media sites, is your business making those simple social media mistakes?
1. Boring updates A boring update is anything that lacks your businesses unique personality or perspective, you need to give a new look and feel on and old topic or even going against the norm is what will get you noticed.
So ask yourself how you can infuse your own business ideals and the character this brings into each update – this is the key essence of branding, after all the last thing you want to be is forgettable.
2. Disrespecting others Social media is not the place to publicly air your grievances with others, doing this on social media is simply no different than shouting insults at someone in public or raising your voice at a retail store employee. For sure it will get peoples' attention, but that's not the kind of attention you want.
3. Failing to promote others Someone once said 'givers gain' and when it comes to building your business on social media and building a responsive network of followers you need to develop a reputation as someone who highlights others. Not only does this give credit where credit is due, it also communicates that you're secure with your success and have the ability to promote others in your industry.
A couple of great ways to highlight others include:
4. Not replying to comments If your business has for example a Facebook page and people comment, by not replying to these comments this is no different than starting a conversation with someone and then ignoring their response. Actively monitoring comments and questions on every post can be time consuming, but even posting one follow-up comment per post can show you care and that you're engaged.
5. Being tagged in questionable photos We were running a training session in Somerset in mid 2013 and one of the participants was easily found in a very questionable photo on Facebook – would you want that? We know that lots of people will have had a photo taken that if you could wind the clock back you would want to change and indeed at the time may well have seemed rather funny, but you should think twice about allowing yourself to be tagged in any questionable photos whatever the site they are going onto. The last thing you want is your business or staff in any image that bring the business into disrepute.
So here you have it our top five ways that your business can get Social Media wrong, and now the sales pitch if you need help or even just a no obligation chat then why not contact us through the website here – we'd love to show you how the team at Gleave Media can help your business proposer on Social Media.
LinkedIN often referred to as the 'Professionals facebook' has branched out more and more since its IPO in early 2011. One of these key developments is bringing together people who work with OR who want to follow what a specific company posts. So with this in mind in February 2012 the LinkedIN Follow Company button was launched, this basically gives the ability for a company to add this button to their website, making it easier for any consumer on the web to begin following companies of interest, on LinkedIn.
You can check out ours on the navigation menu on the right hand side OR you can check out GleaveMedia on LinkedIN – don't forget to click follow .
So how does it work?
Click on the Follow Company button and, as long as the user is logged into LinkedIn, they will automatically "follow" the company. If they are not logged on, a box will appear asking for the user's LinkedIN details so they just type those in and they will automatically begin to follow the company.
Companies will then be able to engage directly with you from their Company Page on LinkedIn and through any status updates they post. These status updates will appear on your LinkedIN homepage.
Why would I follow a company on LinkedIN?
Whether you are looking to stay up-to-date on company news, career opportunities or industry trends, following companies on LinkedIn is a great and easy way to gain insights and stay connected.

And to get your follow company button head over to the linkedIN developer portal here.

I forgot to wear my wedding rings yesterday.
It's only happened once or twice before, but it's weird how that simple thing can make me feel not quite like myself.
Plus there's that moment of "ohmygodilostititwasstolenitwasspiritedawaybyelves!!!!"
…or maybe that's just me?
It's a little unnerving how little things like that can make you feel like an entirely different person. For example, I'm one of those people who doesn't really feel like myself when, in my opinion, I'm dressed frumpily.
One time, I had to wear my glasses because my eyes were especially dry (I'm almost always in contacts), I wore my hair in a ponytail because it was dirty, and I wore flats (in general I wear some kind of heel…short girls gotta do what short girls gotta do). Joey and I went out that night to meet up with some friends, and he kept sneaking glances at me.
"You've got the whole secretary thing going on tonight," he said finally. I think he meant it as a compliment, but the fact was, we both agreed the "secretary thing" was not my usual style. When our friends arrived later, they didn't even recognize me across the dimly lit bar.
"I've never seen you in flats!" my friend Heather exclaimed."Brett had to point you out — you're so little!"
Make no mistake, I wasn't insulted, and Heather didn't mean it as a bad thing. I mean, I know I'm on the shorter side of average. I just mean it all reconfirmed for me that I wasn't myself. At least in appearance anyway.
I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. I think everyone has that one thing that they wear every day (a watch, perfume, lucky underwear, etc.) that they feel a little lost without. And everyone has tried some fashion look only to realize that they just can't pull it off.
I guess the bright side of knowing what isn't you is that it probably has given you a better idea of what is. Me? I'm a married chick who needs some help in the height department. I can deal with that.

While most of the university is quiet during the summer months, Continuing Education is at its busiest serving educational professionals across the country. That was very true this past summer, when the number of Continuing Education course units and course takers grew at 9.3% and 10.6%, respectively. This year-over-year (YOY) growth for the months of June, July, and August was the direct result from the hard work of the Continuing Education team.

AC/Heating Reminders
I have two air conditioning/heating reminders.
As the weather cools down in the early mornings it is quite possible the furnaces will be starting up. I just want to remind everybody that you will get a burning dust smell the first time or two the furnaces run. That smell should quickly dissipate and no longer be a problem.
Also with the cooler mornings, you will be walking into your offices, which will average about 75 degrees. The temperature in the office is going to feel much warmer than the outside air. Please check your thermostat and if the temperature is in the mid-70s your equipment is probably working fine and there is no reason to create a work order.Submitted by: Kurt Wancewicz

Pilots Win Big in Baseball Matchups
SJND bests Oakland's Head Royce, Athenian of Danville
The St. Joseph Notre Dame (SJND) baseball team earned two wins last week that pushed their record over .500.
The team got big wins over Head-Royce of Oakland last Thursday, April 6, and Athenian of Danville Monday, April 10.
The Pilots beat the Jayhawks 14-5 on the road. The Pilots got off to a great start with a four-run first inning. The Jayhawks responded with a run of their own in the bottom half of the inning. The Jayhawks further closed the gap with a two-run third inning to bring the score to 5-3. However, the Pilots put the game away with a six-run fourth inning. The Jayhawks never got back into the contest.
It seemed as if SJND could do no wrong at the plate. The Pilots went a whopping 12-for-27 (.444 batting average) at the plate. Eight Pilots had at least one hit in the game led by Carson Bridges. The senior went 3-for-4 with three RBIs and scored two runs himself.
The Pilots roughed up the Jayhawks starting pitcher T.K. Prather. The freshman allowed six earned runs in just 3.1 innings of action.
The win came after losing the first game of the home-and-home series with Head-Royce 4-0 on April 4.
The Pilots followed that victory with a 5-3 win over the Owls at home. The Pilots again got off to a fast start. They scored two runs in the bottom of the first inning. They scored two more in the third. The Owls attempted a comeback with a three-run sixth inning, but it was not enough. The Pilots added an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth inning.
Bridges led the way for SJND with two RBIs. He went 1-for-3 from the plate. Sophomore Hudson Hennigh went 2-for-2 from the plate and drove in a run. He also stole a base.
Hunter Hennigh was solid on the mound for the Pilots. The senior pitched five scoreless innings and struck out nine Athenian batters. His counterpart for the Owls did not fare as well. Timmy Terney got the nod for Athenian. He pitched five innings and allowed four runs.
The Pilots pushed their record to 5-4. They will take on Athenian on the road today.

Course Description
Prep Course for 2019 CFA Level I Exam. Master Financial Reporting & Analysis (FRA) without any finance background!
- Basic mathematics knowledge
Financial Reporting & Analysis (FRA) questions accounts for the most marks in the CFA Level 1 Exam. It is no doubt the heaviest topic in one of the hardest exams in the world. Many candidates struggle with this topic, not just due to the sheer volume of concepts to master, but also the different standards that one has to be aware of.
We believe in the Pareto principle - putting in the 20% effort to score 80% of the marks.
The PrepNuggets approach is simply to condense at least 80% of the pertinent material from the curriculum, to easily digestible nuggets for you to consume during your pockets of free time. Each nugget is painstakingly crafted to explain really complex concepts using engaging illustrations and animations. No more wading through pages and pages of non-stop text, or sitting through long boring lectures with slides filled with text.
By the end of this course, we are confident that you will be able to comfortably handle at least 80% of the questions under FRA, more than enough to give you a passing mark for this section.

Romans 3:23: "...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
Romans 3:23
AMP - 23 Since all have sinned and are falling short of the honor and glory which God bestows and receives.
Community answers are sorted based on votes. The higher the vote, the further up an answer is.
The Bible teaches (in addition to the verse cited in the question) that, as a result of original sin, all humans (even infants) are born in a state of sin (Psalm 51:5), and in need of the salvation that only faith in Christ can provide. (As a parent, I would say from experience that children do not need to be "taught" attributes such as selfishness and resistance to authority that (if left uncorrected) characterize an unsaved state, but possess them innately. That is why they must be disciplined and trained, which is a primary responsibility of Christian parents.) At the same time, however, Jesus characterized the state of a little child (in terms of capacity for change as a result of such training and discipline, and the faith that they place in those who care for them) as the orientation that people of any age must possess in order to enter the Kingdom of God and be saved. Children should be exposed to godly living and the Bible at home even prior to the beginning of any formal religious instruction, and then introduced to the church and its further teaching at the earliest possible age (even from infancy (2 Timothy 3:15)). In my opinion, even the smallest amount of faith acquired through such experience will be credited to them as righteousness toward salvation, even prior to them being able to make their own mature confession of their personal beliefs.
I believe all children are saved until they come to the age of accountability. When King David's baby he had with Bathsheba died, He said he can not come to me, but I will go to him. What the age of accountability is, may differ for different children. The bible is not clear on a certain age. I was led to Christ by my mother when I was only 5.I did not know much, but believed John 3:16 that Jesus loved me even though I was a sinner, and if I believed in Him, I would not perish and have eternal life. I still believe it today that He paid my sin debt in full and know I will be in heaven based on what He did for me. Not on anything I could ever do. Jesus paid it all and I paid 0. AMAZING GRACE
Let the little children come unto me Matthew, 1914, Luke 18:16, JESUS loved/loves little children. They are precious gifts from GOD, not Satan, only GOD can make a child!
Someone else already provided you with Ps 51:5 which gives a general principle for how this works. Paul discussed it in a bit more detail in Rom 5:12. Properly translated, Rom 5:12 says, "Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, causing all to sin." Adam's sin made all of his descendants mortal based on the law of restitution. This law cannot be seen by looking at a single passage or statute because pieces of it are scattered throughout the Torah and other portions of the Bible. The most complete exposition of this law is in Ex 22. In short, anyone incurring any debt, whether by theft or by a loan they are not able to pay off on time, is to have their property confiscated and sold to repay the debt. If that is not enough to pay off the debt they are to be sold as bondservants (not slaves, there is a big difference between these two things in God's law, although Israel and Judah rarely, if ever, acknowledged this difference, and for the most part the church still does not.) Ex 21 tells us that if a man went into this bondage with a wife, he and his wife and children left the bondage together, but if his master gave him a wife she and her children remained in the master's household when the bond was fully paid off. This is a prophecy of what happened to us. Adam sinned, and all he had (the whole earth) was taken from him and sold, but was not enough to pay his debt; therefore, he was sold into bondage and his wife went with him. All his descendants were born into that bondage and under the same death penalty as our father, thus we are all born mortal, thus dead already. There is also the matter of how God defines life. He uses many different definitions as we do, but the primary definition requires body, soul, and spirit to all be together. The soul, usually mistranslated as life, is in the blood (Lev 17:11, 14; Dt 12:23). Both soul and spirit have a consciousness, thus Paul's Old Man of Sin and New Man of the Spirit, and these are constantly warring against each other (Rom 7). Furthermore, scripture speaks of two kinds of spirit. Ruach is breath, wind, and spirit, neshamah is breath, intellect, and spirit, and it is this latter word that Genesis uses when we are told God breathed into him the breath of life. Everyone is born with intellectual potential, but none of us is born with any greater intellect than the lower animals, so we are born "dead". This is what Jesus speaks of when he tells us he came to give us life more abundantly. It is the learning of God and his ways that bring us this abundant life. I cannot find the specific law that says touching a dead body defiles you for seven days (prophetically 7,000 years), but there are numerous mentions through out the law that speak in general terms of this defilement. Since we are all born "dead" spiritually due to our bodies being mortal, and the defilement this brings to us even infants who have never sinned from our perspective are still sinful in God's eyes. Do abortions and miscarriages occur? Yes. This means we are all conceived mortal and can be killed before birth, whether by natural causes or by the hand of man. We are born mortal, thus enabling us to sin; we are born without the glory of God (neshamah spirit) already in us, thus must learn God's glory. Nothing else matters really. God provides the means for all to learn this glory and become like him, whether by the first Passover (Ex 12) or the Second Passover (Numbers 9). Either way we will be restored from this defilement by our own dead body by the Jubilee.

Tampa is Gloomy Pink Details:
Girl's dreams always described as pink, or by accident, most girls like pink. So pink becomes a token of purity, dream, and romance, and all the finest word you can imagine. But what is the color of gloomy pink? It sounds like noble, proud, but a little lost.

Maybe the worst-kept secret in Boston is that goaltender Tuukka Rask is not 100%. On Saturday night, the Finnish number one sat out for the Bruins, as they were visited by the Montreal Canadiens, citing general body soreness as the reason for his absence. Rask was scratched completely from the lineup and the Bruins called up Zane McIntyre to back-up Anton Khudobin, so something is definitely not right there. It will be interesting to see if Rask misses any more time with this soreness or whether or not the Bruins actually divulge the real issue.
This is big news for Troy, because Rask is pegged to be one of those guys that will keep his team competitive and will hopefully dig him out of this 21-point hole in 20th place. Rask has been Troy's best player to date and can ill-afford not to have him after this start to the season.
It is also no secret that the Calgary Flames have lacked jump in their first handful of games this season, but it did seem a tad strange to see rookie forward Matthew Tkachuk among the scratches on Saturday night, with the Blues in town, because has been one of the few players that has actually had a step to his game and provided some energy at times. He hasn't been the most productive, but you can say the same for many on the team.
Derek B. has had himself a pretty good Week Two, finishing Saturday with 25 points in the week and his team has moved up to 16th in the standings, 17 points out of 1st place. It's hard to say what kind of effect Tkachuk's scratch will do, moving forward, or does it mean there's a chance he can go back to junior yet?
It's being called a lower-body injury for Justin Abdelkader, which kept him out of Saturday's contest against the San Jose Sharks, but it wasn't like they needed him or anything. The Red Wings only shut out the Sharks, 3-0. Details were pretty well non-existent for the injury status of the rugged forward. He's considered to be day-to-day for right now and that's all that could be confirmed on Sunday morning.
Another body down for Derek B., which will certainly hurt your trend line for moving up in the standings. Nevertheless, his team still leads the pool in skater games played, with 64, and that was with missing both Tkachuk and Abdelkader's presence last night. Staying healthy is certainly key in these long seasons.
After taking a stick to the face earlier in the week, Florida Panthers forward Jussi Jokinen was in need of some extra dental work this weekend and it had cost him Saturday night's game against the Avalanche. The reports are suggesting that Jokinen was able to practice in the last couple of days, but wasn't quite ready for game action, he's considered day-to-day for right now and they don't play again until Tuesday night, giving him an extra day or two to help heal up.
Cam's team has been off to a great start, thanks in large part to his goaltending, but it has been a bit of a quiet week, dropping down to 6th place. It is so tight at the top of the standings, 1 point could get him into 4th and 2 points could get him into 2nd today, assuming that the teams around him didn't get anything.
The word out of Nashville yesterday was that a bad case of food poisoning ran rampant through the Predators' dressing room and it hit a good number of players. The Predators had to make five call-ups, including an emergency goalie, and put Cody Bass on the Injured Reserve, just to make it all work for them. Pool players Pekka Rinne and Craig Smith were among the scratches on Saturday night, both cited for the food poisoning issue. It was hard to say whether or not Rinne would have played anyways, since they had played the night before.
Stacey M. and Marcin were the two teams affected by this small outbreak, both missing out on a 5-1 Nashville win over Pittsburgh, despite the issue at hand. Both teams came out of the busy Saturday night, hovering in the middle of the standings, 12th & 13th, respectively.

So, after the raging success of the last Blackheath mystery photo, here's another one… Any ideas? The winner gets a link about penguins.
Blackheath Mystery Photo Competition Number 2

One response to "Blackheath Mystery Photo Competition Number 2"
I already have a photo of this little creature taken surrounded by the empty chairs in front of the cafe. I submitted it in a photo competition with the Bromley Camera Club under the title "The Cow in the Window" and didn't realise until later that it wasn't actually in the window, but stuck in a flower pot on one of the tables outside. Needless to say, I didn't win. I could let you have a copy if you wish, but must send it by snail mail because I don't know how to email it to you.

The National Rifle Association, which spearheads America's powerful gun lobby that has blocked all attempts to tighten gun laws for decades, has relented in the wake of the Las Vegas massacre and asked the government to review the sale of devices that allow weapons to shoot rapidly.
Even the National Rifle Association says "bump stock" devices that allow semi-automatic rifles to perform more like fully automatic weapons should be subject to additional regulations. The National Rifle Association and some lawmakers had been encouraging the firearms agency to re-examine its judgment in 2010 that the devices were legal and not regulated under USA firearms laws.
Stephen Paddock had bump stocks attached to 12 weapons recovered from his hotel room, according to CBS News.
To understand a bump stock, you have to understand the legal definition of a machine gun, explained attorney John Pierce, who's well-known within the firearms community and focuses on gun rights.
A spokesman for U.S. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-8th District, said he also support restricting bump stocks.
"Bump stocks serve no legitimate goal, and this bill will see to it that these deadly devices are banned in MA", he said in a statement. But other questions of a technical nature have already been answered and it may require a fresh look at our gun laws.
But Krepps said the fight to ban the devices goes well beyond Washington.
The single most deadly shooting in the modern history of the United States of America, 58 dead and well over 500 injured.
Another difficulty involves the great variance in gun culture across the country, not only a function of competing ideals and habits but of the practicalities of space and population density.
The debate on banning bump stocks is taking place on Capitol Hill. To which we say, amen. But they were far from a guarantee of a path forward for the new legislation by California Sen.
U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Channahon, whose district includes La Salle County, endorsed the restriction earlier this week in a press statement. "We've tried it and it is safe to say that it doesn't keep people safe", Mr Chris Cox, executive director at the NRA's Institute for Legislative Action, said on Fox News.
"Fully automatic weapons have been banned for a long time", said US House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan in an interview with MSNBC.
Congress and the president standing outside the White House for a moment of silence to pray for the victims made me want to scream.
The bump fire stocks are illegal in California and manufacturing companies can not ship them here but there are kits online that will convert some semi automatic rifles.


text: Headphone Safety Tipsby firstname.lastname@example.com ReportsAlmost 6,000 pedestrians were killed by vehicles in 2016, the highest annual total in more than two decades. The reasons aren't entirely clear, but experts say that distraction caused by electronic devices could be a cause. Recent data suggest that pedestrians wearing headphones are at an increased risk of being struck by automobiles and trains, particularly in urban environments. You can't get out of the way of something in your blind spot that you also can't hear.Most of the sports earphones are designed to be isolating, which means they fit in the ear like an earplug and block out ambient sound. That's great at the gym, where you don't want to hear the clang of barbells, and your chances of being run over by a car on the treadmill are pretty slim. But not being able to hear an approaching vehicle or the bark of an angry dog can be dangerous if you're exercising outside. Some of the newest sports earphones on the market address this safety issue with a special "monitor" mode. When the headphones are in this mode, built-in microphones pick up ambient noises and channel them into the ear so that you can hear traffic, bicycle bells, birds, and whatever else is going on around you. The microphones also pick up the whooshing sound of wind, which can make for a noisy run on a gusty day, but that's a minor irritation compared with the major safety advantage these headphones can offer.In general, isolating sports earphones with a monitor function or non-isolating sports earphones wireless model are among the best choices for people who exercise outdoors.Whichever type you wear, remember to keep the volume low enough so that you can hear what's going on around you when you're outside.

A young black backed gull has been rescued after being found caught up in fishing line and with a hook through its beak.
RSPCA Cymru said the seabird was exhausted when found and it showed the dangers fishing litter pose to wildlife.
The gull was found on the shore of Conwy town on Sunday 20th November and was unable to fly.
The charity said the bird was now recovering.
RSPCA inspector Mike Pugh, who rescued the gull, said: "Fortunately, we were able to get to this young, exhausted gull in time - freeing it from this dangerous fishing litter. The bird's recovery process is now on-going in RSPCA care, and we hope it can soon be released back to the wild.
"However, many wildlife are not so lucky - with fishing litter a prominent cause of injury or death among birds."

Given a set of business requirements, determine the appropriate sharing solution.
Salesforce provides several tools to control access to data. Access can be controlled on a profile, user, object, and record level. Whether a user has access to a certain object, field, or record, depends on the combination of all permission and sharing settings.
To control access to objects, object permissions can be defined on profiles or permission sets for each object. To control access to individual fields on objects, field permissions can be defined on profiles or permission sets for each field. Access to data can either be specified on objects or records. On objects, org-wide defaults, role hierarchy and sharing rules can be defined. On records, manual sharing, queues, and teams can be specified.
|Object Permissions
|Field Permissions
|Object Sharing
|Record Sharing
|Object Permissions
|Field Permissions
|Org-Wide Defaults
|Manual Sharing
|Role Hierarchy
|Sharing Rules
The default level of access to records can be specified with org-wide defaults (OWDs) for many objects. OWDs can be defined for the standard objects Account, Contract, Asset, Contact, Activities, Campaign, Case, Lead, Opportunity, Calendar, Price Book and Order, as well as custom objects.
Following OWDs are available for the standard objects Account, Contract, Asset, Contact, Campaign, Case, Lead, Opportunity, and Order, as well as custom objects:
For the Case and Lead objects, following OWD is available in addition:
For the Campaign object, following OWD is available in addition:
For the Calendar object, following OWD are available:
For the Price Book object, following OWD are available:
For the Activity object, following OWD are available:
For the User object, following OWD are available:
For objects with OWDs other than Public Read/Write, record access can be opened up to users who are not record owners by defining a role hierarchy.
The role hierarchy grants access vertically along the company hierarchy. Each user can be assigned to one role level, and read and edit all records owned by or shared with users below in the role hierarchy.
Opening up record access through the role hierarchy can be deactivated for individual custom objects, by disabling the Grant Access Using Hierarchies option in the OWDs.
Additionally, roles role can give users access to cases, contacts, and opportunities, regardless of who owns those records. For example, roles can be defined that users in a role can edit all opportunities associated with accounts that they own, regardless of who owns the opportunities.
For objects with OWDs other than Public Read/Write, record access can be opened up to users who are not record owners by defining sharing rules.
While the role hierarchy grants access vertically along the company hierarchy, sharing rules allow to open up access horizontally in the hierarchy. However, sharing rules cannot restrict records access beyond what is specified in the OWDs and the role hierarchy.
Sharing rules can either be based on the role of the record owner, or criteria-based on field values of records.
Manual sharing can be defined in the OWDs settings, to allow or prevent users from sharing their own records with any other users or roles across the organization.
If the manual sharing feature is globally enabled, record owners can click the Sharing button on the record detail page, and select any role, public group, or individual users to share the record with. Record owners can also specify the access level they want to share the record with (Read Only, Read/Write or Private). The Sharing button for manual sharing is currently not available in Lightning Experience without customization (Spring '17).
Queues allow groups of users to manage a shared workload more effectively. Queues act as record owners and can also be used to share records for supported objects. All queue members and users in a higher role hierarchy level can read and edit records owned by a queue.
Queues are available for the standard objects Case, Lead, Order, Contract, Knowledge Article, as well as custom objects. When creating a queue, the supported objects and queue members can be defined.
Teams are groups of users that work together on an account, sales opportunity, or case. They allow record owners to share access to their records. Record owners can define an individual team for each record, or specify and reuse a default team. For account teams, team members also get access to any contact, opportunity, and case record associated with an account.
Teams are available for the standard objects Account, Opportunity, and Case. When specifying a team, the record owner can define the access level to the shared record for each team member (Read Only or Read/Write). Additionally, the record owner can specify a role for each member.

Increasing Velocity
At TechEd yesterday, BillG and friends made a very interesting announcement: Microsoft is releasing a distributed, in-memory object cache (code named Velocity). For details, check out the Velocity Blog.
MDavey is already on record asking the right questions: how will it interact with the grid (thanks for the mention, Matt)? Will there be push? How does it compare with the commercial object cache solutions already on the market?
Can't wait to get my hands on that CTP!

Political campaigns are hectic, expensive undertakings. Candidates and their staffers travel all over the country by planes, trains and automobiles. They eat at roadside diners and in the drive-thru lane, and fuel up for campaign rallies and fundraisers at Dunkin� Donuts and Starbucks. Indeed, an InsideGov analysis of campaign finance data found presidential campaigns have spent $2,661 at Starbucks in this cycle.
InsideGov, a politics site that�s part of the Graphiq suite of research tools, decided to look more closely at how 2016 White House hopefuls spent their campaign cash. Using expenditure data from the Federal Election Commission and the Sunlight Foundation, InsideGov picked out some of the quirkiest purchases made by the presidential campaigns. The data covers Jan. 1, 2015 to Feb. 29, 2016, and the list is ranked from smallest to largest amount spent.
Carly Fiorina�s staffers had a handful of throwback moments during the campaign, employing a fax service for documents. One can only assume they used a Hewlett-Packard machine, considering Fiorina was the CEO of the tech company for six years.
On Feb. 20, 2016, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders' campaign paid $450 for snow removal in Massachusetts. That was 11 days before the Bay State�s primary, which was part of Super Tuesday voting. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton eked out a victory there over Sanders.
Everyone loves a gooey grilled cheese, especially if it comes from a food truck, right? Texas Sen. Ted Cruz�s campaign thought so, too. The Republican presidential hopeful spent more than $1,200 last June at Golden Grill Food Truck, based in Houston.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie�s staffers liked their Subway sandwiches. Christie's presidential campaign spent $1,722.26 at a Subway in Manchester, New Hampshire, on Dec. 30, 2015. That comes out to about 344 of those $5 footlongs the sandwich chain likes to sing about.
Despite a three-month campaign, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry still spent a pretty penny on campaign gear. Expenditure filings show the Perry team paid Sacramento-based company Prime Signs more than $8,600 for shirts, bumper stickers, buttons, hats, posters and signs.
If America runs on Dunkin�, then what�s more American than having a presidential campaign powered by the donut chain? Republicans and Democrats alike have dropped some serious dough at the popular purveyor of coffee and donuts.
Last year, Hillary Clinton�s campaign spent more than $15,000 on catering and audio-visual services at Jay Z�s Manhattan bar, the 40/40 Club. The former secretary of state held a fundraiser at the nightclub on Sept. 30, 2015.
Back in November, Vocativ reported that Hillary Clinton�s presidential campaign leaned heavily on pizza when it came to fueling staffers and volunteers. The trend has continued, with the Clinton team dropping over $17,000 on pizza across the country.
Last September, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker�s campaign paid the Green Bay Packers more than $19,000 for �Facility Rental/Catering Services,� according to expenditure reports. The Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel reported the Walker campaign threw an event for its biggest fundraisers at a Green Bay game on Sept. 28, 2015.
Black Rock Group is a political consulting firm based in the D.C. suburb of Alexandria, Virginia. It has deep ties to Republican super PACs American Crossroads (which is connected to Karl Rove) and Restore Our Future (which backed Mitt Romney�s 2012 presidential campaign). During this campaign cycle, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie�s team paid Black Rock over $46,000 for political strategy and communications consulting.
Katy Perry is a vocal supporter of Hillary Clinton�s White House run. The pop star has performed multiple times in support of the candidate, including co-headlining a fundraiser with Elton John at Radio City Music Hall in March. Clinton�s campaign paid Perry�s production company � called Kitty Purry Inc. � close to $70,000 for event production related to a concert Perry put on in Iowa last October.
Turns out the popular ride service has the corner market among presidential campaigns, too. Campaign finance filings show that almost $112,000 has been spent on Uber rides during the 2016 presidential race. As the visualization shows, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush�s campaign has spent the most on Uber rides, at a little over $23,000.
During the 2016 presidential contest, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee leaned on Internet ads to gin up support for his campaign.
Like many of her fellow presidential contenders, Carly Fiorina�s team traveled on well-known airlines like United and Southwest. But the campaign also spent almost $121,000 at Advanced Aviation Team, a private jet company.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker entered the presidential contest an early favorite, what with his ties to the Republican establishment and his standing as a tea party darling. Since many political prognosticators anticipated Walker would go the distance, the $135,000 spent on campaign gear likely made sense at the time. But after dismal polling numbers and just 10 weeks on the trail, Walker called it quits.
The three top Democratic presidential candidates � former Maryland Gov. Martin O�Malley, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton � all employed Blue State Digital for web and digital consulting services.
Protesters and violence have been a recurring theme for Donald Trump�s campaign rallies. At the end of April, 17 people were arrested in Southern California after protests broke out at a Trump event.
According to the campaign�s filings with the Federal Election Commission, Trump has spent almost $190,000 on "security services" and "security consulting" in 2015 and the first two months of this year.
Ted Cruz�s campaign spent more than $300,000 for books and delivery with HarperCollins Publishers, which happens to be the company that published Cruz�s 2015 tome, �A Time for Truth: Reigniting the Promise of America.�
Republican presidential hopeful Marco Rubio was once the establishment�s best hope to fend off Donald Trump�s White House campaign. The Rubio team had the gear to back it up, too, with almost $342,000 spent on bumper stickers, T-shirts, signs, hats and sweatshirts.
Bernie�s got a book, and he wants you to read it. The Sanders campaign spent almost $445,000 with Verso Books, which published Sanders� �Outsider in the White House� in September 2015. Verso describes itself as �the largest independent, radical publishing house in the English-speaking world,� according to its website.
Donald Trump�s campaign has opted to keep some of its spending in the family. Trump Tower, Trump SoHo hotel, Trump Grill and Trump Payroll Corp are among the namesake businesses the campaign billed for meeting expenses, rent and lodging.
Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson�s campaign doled out more than $850,000 on pro-Carson shirts and hats, according to campaign filings with the Federal Election Commission.
The Ted Cruz campaign spent close to $1.1 million on a bevy of pro-Cruz hats, posters, shirts, blankets, bumper stickers, banners, stickers, pins, cups, flags, signs and labels. The Texas senator kept it local, too, with $7,942.60 of that going to the aptly named GOP Jerseys LLC, based in Lubbock, Texas.
The Jeb Bush campaign employed multiple private jet companies throughout the presidential race, spending more than $2 million on the services. For people not fortunate enough to land a seat on a chartered flight for work travel, expenditure filings reveal staffers spent $3,511.83 on Gogo inflight Internet services on commercial airlines.
No matter how one feels about Donald Trump�s rollicking ride to the Republican nomination, just about everyone can agree that the former reality TV star is a marketing master. His �Make America Great Again� visors and hats � in white, red, blue, black and camo � have been a staple on the campaign trail.
A presidential campaign means lots of travel all over the country. Hillary Clinton�s team has employed charter jet company Executive Fliteways throughout the race, to the tune of over $3.6 million.
Ben Carson spent more than $6 million on various types of consultants, whether it was related to political strategy, legal questions, finances or media. That figure balloons to $23,109,713 when accounting for funds the Carson campaign directed to database management and digital media firms run by two people who acted as consultants to his campaign. Mike Murray heads up TMA Direct and Precision Data Management, which received $5,669,648.30 and $545,595.62, respectively. Ken Dawson�s Eleventy Marketing Group got $10,703,049.74 from the Carson campaign.
If you �feel the Bern,� Bernie Sanders� campaign is making sure you have the tools to show it. The campaign dropped almost $7.5 million on promotional materials. The majority of that sum � $6,908,680.21 � went to Tigereye Promotions, a left-leaning design and product company based in Ohio.

Arsenal and Man Utd target Meunier admits he's 'frustrated' at PSG as he opens door to Premier League switch
THOMAS MEUNIER has fuelled speculation he could be leaving Paris Saint-Germain after he admitted he is frustrated over his lack of playing time this season.
The 28-year-old right-back - who netted in the 3-0 win against Real Madrid in the Champions League - has featured in just two out of five Ligue 1 games this term.
His total game time in the French top-flight accumulates to just 79 minutes, with youngster Colin Dagba preferred instead.
Meunier has just one year left on his current deal at Parc Pes Princes, and Inside Futebol claim Les Parisiens could cash in on him in January to avoid losing him on a free.
The Gunners reportedly opened talks with PSG over the potential signing of Meunier in the summer.
While the Red Devils were heavily linked with a switch for the Belgium international - with the player said to be desperate to seal a switch to Old Trafford.
And the two clubs will be encouraged by what Meunier had to say in an interview with French news outlet RMC.
He said: "My philosophy and mentality have never changed.
"I have been saying since my first steps here at PSG that I would be devoted to the club until the end of my contract or more.
"He [Thomas Tuchel] will be able to count on me.
"Sometimes it is a bit frustrating and the happiness in football is in playing.
"But choices have been made and the coach will take his own decisions."
