Powerwolf – Preachers of the Night
The wolves against the world have returned with their fifth sacrilegious symphony of an album, Preachers of the Night, releasing through Napalm Records on July 19, 2013.
While discussing Powerwolf, I feel a certain disclaimer must be present. Each album released by Powerwolf, starting in 2005 with Return in Bloodred to Blood of the Saints in 2011, progressively got more and more outrageous in lyrical themes and imagery. Along with the growing religious messages, the band increasingly used more epic song writing, bringing the keyboard to a near lead role in some cases. The fans of Powerwolf must know and understand that the music themes are all in fun, and lighthearted in nature. It's heavily drenched in religion, and far-fetched tales of werewolves and vampires. While being one of the heaviest power metal bands around, but still recording and releasing songs like "Resurrection by Erection" one would hope the eerie, theatrical, yet almost cheerful nature of the music would be obvious. Not a soul on this planet could survive a drinking game trip through their discography if they had to take a shot at every mention of "God", "Satan", "Wolves" or "Blood". (I also owe the band my thanks for teaching me how to count to four in German, which sounds much more bad ass than English). However, outside of the somewhat comical exterior, Powerwolf is a band that deserves to be taken seriously as talented musicians, and has proven the right to that respect over the years by consistently delivering amazing power metal with a gritty edge.
Preachers of the Night proves to be their most epic and groundbreaking record thus far, definitely living up to the hype it's received. Just as expected it is full of haunting melodies, choir arrangements, and flawless song writing. The lyrical themes are heavily based in the churchly realm, but a band so obsessed with werewolves could not ignore the religious roots in those myths.
The only thing missing from this release is that familiar organ and spoken word opening track that previous albums had featured. However, the album kicks off with an explosive song "Amen & Attack" which was also released as the album's first single and video. The song features drumming and string work worthy of an established thrash band. Despite the corny chorus, this song is seriously heavy while retaining that mythical atmosphere thanks to the heavily layered vocal components.
The strongest moments on the album are in "Sacred & Wild" and "Kreuzfeuer". Throughout both tracks I experienced this never-ending chill down my spine. Between the amazing vocal lines throughout and the eerie keyboard accompaniment, my senses are overloaded and I am absolutely enthralled. It's at this point in a typical album where I run into a track or two necessary of skipping. This is just not the case. Each and every song is entertaining and gripping. The speed never lets up, until the album closer, "Last Of The Living Dead" which features sensational choir presence and orchestration that sounds straight out of the middle ages. The pace is slower, but it is a constant roller coaster of build-up, then letting go. It's absolutely beautiful, but for lack of a better adjective, it's just so metal!
What I am trying to get at here is that the album just doesn't let up. All of their previous material has been well-balanced between the hard and heavy tunes with the down tempo and more melodic tracks. Powerwolf perfectly kicked it up a notch, demanding respect from all kinds of metal fans throughout the diverse sea of genres. They have proven with Preachers of the Night that they are not just "some other power metal band". They are capable of kicking your ass as well. For all of the old Powerwolf fans such as myself, all of the hype you have been creating has been well deserved. And to all of the new fans, reading this, unsure of what to think… buy this album! It will change your life.
Hail the Wolves!

Solar spectral irradiance, UV, and declining solar activity – a Maunder Minimum mechanism for cooler temperature?
Since Paul Hudson has made a bold claim at the BBC related to a recent interview with solar scientist Mike Lockwood: BBC – Real risk of a Maunder minimum 'Little Ice Age', I thought it appropriate to share this recent communications that raises some of the same issues about the UV portion of the solar spectrum during this lull in solar activity, which has been in significant decline in the last decade.
Dr. Jan Zeman of Prague writes:

How often do we converse with someone we "intuit" might be quite different from our own standards, belief systems or arenas of comfort?
I was in a small local bakery the other day and at the first of my chatting with the baker, we were alone. While she was putting up my order, someone else came in and sat at the only tiny table – with two chairs. He asked a question which clearly was not intended for the baker. No one answered and as my back was to him, I turned and asked if he was talking to me. With a large non-threatening smile, he said, "Who else?" And so began a conversation that would never have happened without "an" overture.
At gatherings intended as mixers, we are more apt to interact with people we don't know. In circumstances where we need help, we must share information and ask questions. But how often do we simply extend ourselves really wanting to hear the other person's answer and respond to their thoughts rather than pursuing our own line of thinking?
Imagine what we might learn if we ask thoughtful questions and really listen to their comments. Then, follow up on "their" ideas instead of our own. We might learn something new, or be persuaded to change our point of view.
WOW, free and ongoing education.
Yes! If only we listened, really listened, and put others ahead of ourselves.
I never meet a stranger. I can start a conversation with just about any one. Recently met a couple from Israel, who was in front of our Post Office taking pictures. Very interesting conversation and was so happy to meet them. You never know who you will meet and what they have to teach unless you engage. The people I pick up the negative from, sometimes I will still try to initiate conversation. If they do not want to talk, I don't push it….
but so little face to face communication goes on nowadays, it is refreshing to meet new people… I hope that never changes about me. Great topic.
This reminds me of a short story #3, written by Ian Fleming in his book FOR YOUR EYES ONLY, titled Quantum of Solace.
Just after reading this post I discovered a Curio post. It is a post from Justin Kitch of Curious.com about his mentor Bill Campbell.
Bill was a 'coach' to many CEOs and entrepreneurs. Regarding why he was so successful Justin says: "I will tell you my theory: Bill connected with virtually every single person he ever met in this world."

Dang, it's been a whole month since I last posted! Although I don't have any particularly earth-shattering progress to share this time, I will make this one a two-parter just to cover the amount of time that's passed since my last entry. I believe that I left off right before I went to the SCBWI Spring Conference in Wilsonville, Oregon. Up until that point I was scrambling to get my first test dummy book printed and my portfolio and up to snuff for the juried art show that I had signed up for at the conference, and also for my portfolio review with Kevan Attebery. I chose Kevan to be my reviewer because he's a Seattle illustrator that primarily draws monsters. He also invented Clippy, that annoying paperclip dude from Microsoft Word! I thought that was pretty cool. Kevan was very supportive of my work and gave me a really thoughtful and useful critique, and he was also an all-around nice guy.
The conference itself was cool and pretty informative, although I do kind of wish it had been more geared towards children's books and children's book illustration…well, specifically picture books. Something that I guess I knew but never really thought about before is that the children's book publishing world also includes novels and young adult books. It seemed to me like LOT of the panels at the conference were more helpful to authors, especially YA authors writing coming of age type stories, historical fiction/fantasy, and teen romance. It was kind of neat to hear about how the publishing process from different perspectives, but I do hope that next year there will be more offered in the realm of picture books. Since there will be multiple smaller conferences instead of one big one next time, it's probably also within the realm of possibility.
Anyway, here's my illustration portfolio as you see it now on my website. It's pretty much the same as I had printed for my physical portfolio but with maybe two-three extra pieces. They were very strict about the number of pieces you included at the conference, so I was pretty ruthless with what I chucked out!
At the conference I got the strongest reactions to the portrait of Mama Kringle, the four paneled illustration of Kris Kringle looking for Krampus in the snow, and the illustration of Lucia in the meadow. I still want to chuck a few of the older ones out and replace them with some illustrations that I have not yet finished or even started, so you'll have that to look forward to.
I also met some really cool people at the conference, namely a fellow children's book illustrator named Brittany Harris. Martyn and I started talking to her at the after party, and then we all decided that the party was a little too stuffy (and also over) so we decided to check out the crazy Blues band playing at the Holiday Inn bar and play some pool…badly! We were all so awful that we even had an old man wearing American flag shorts heckling us. It was hilarious, and so much fun that it made the day that much more worth it.
Brittany told us that she lived in Ashland but was about to move to Montana because her husband Josh just got a sweet new job. Ashland was one of those "places to visit in Oregon on my bucket list" so we vowed to visit them before they left…and we did! The weekend after the conference some friends of ours from Colorado were visiting Portland (Chris and Sarah Bacavis; love those guys!) We spent that weekend showing them around town, and then the weekend after that we took a day trip to Ashland to see Brittany and Josh. We had so much fun bar hopping, seeing the sights, and then dealing with our hangovers the following day by eating delicious breakfast food and floating in a scenic lake next to an old cemetery. It's a shame that they're moving away, but I think that we really made a lasting friendship through this conference thing so I've gotta give it credit for that!
So yeah, the past couple of weeks have been pretty much been spent having fun with friends, cooking out with the neighbors in the yard, celebrating everyone's birthday (Martyn's 29th just happened on the 14th and my 30th is coming up quick on the 30th), and celebrating the Midsummer Solstice. Work is pretty much the same as usual, with the occasional flying salad monster.
Meanwhile, Vine Gogh is working hard as ever to open the new Tigard studio with a bang. In the not-so-distant future I'm gonna be teaching some "Twisted Tuesday" classes where we'll get to do all the weird, fun, and more experimental art projects! Jenny wants me to come up with some new fairy-themed paintings, and she also loves my ideas to teach some watercolor and polymer clay/mixed media sculpture classes. I'm really looking forward to seeing where all of this is going just around the corner!
Well sorry if this has been just another boring recap post, but since so much time has escaped me since my last one I just felt that it was necessary. In my next post I promise that I'll dive right into the new art stuff that I've been working on in all this time!

A strike by firefighters could go ahead after they voted in favour of indsustrial action over pensions.
A ballot saw members of the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) back industrial action by 18,277 votes to 5,166, a majority of 78%.
The union said planned changes to pensions were "unaffordable and unworkable", would impose an increase in members' contributions and would put firefighters at greater risk of dismissal without access to a proper pension if they cannot maintain fitness standards as they approach the retirement age of 60.
Matt Wrack, FBU general secretary, said: "We cannot expect large numbers of firefighters in their late-50s to fight fires and rescue families without creating danger to the public and firefighters.
"We have repeatedly raised safety concerns and provided strong evidence to back it up but the Government just isn't listening.
"This result is a clear indication of the anger felt by firefighters. It's still not too late for common sense to prevail if the Government are willing to return to the negotiating table. None of us want a strike, but we cannot compromise on public and firefighter safety."
Currently firefighters can retire on ill-health grounds before 60 and retain their pension but under the Government's plans, if a firefighter is deemed unfit before they turn 60, they will lose part of their pension.
A recent Government review found that over half of current firefighters between the ages of 50 and 54 are no longer able to meet fire and rescue service fitness standards for fighting fires. Beyond the age of 55, two thirds fail to meet the standards.
And although the Government has previously claimed that older firefighters could be moved to less physically demanding roles, FBU research found only a handful of redeployment opportunities in fire and rescue services, meaning mass sackings would be "inevitable".
North East fire services have today said they were "disappointed" that the row has not yet been resolved but have reassured members of the community that robust continuity plans will be in placed should a strike go ahead.
Stuart Errington, deputy chief fire officer at Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue Service, said: "We are still hopeful both the Government and the FBU will commit to further construction negotiations to avoid the threat of a national fire strike.
"The Fire and Rescue Authority, however, has a duty to provide an emergency response service during any strike period. The plans we have in place will ensure that the people of County Durham and Darlington can still receive a professional response in the event of a fire or other emergency."
Chief fire officer Tom Capeling, of Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service, said: "The service will use trained fire service officers and staff who will be supported by additional staff we have recruited and trained in recent weeks, including recently retired firefighters, individuals who were successful during our last recruitment process, former military and specialist personnel.
"This plan is not designed to replicate the excellent service our firefighters provide every day of the week, however it is designed to provide a core service in the event of industrial action."
Strike action must be taken within 28 days of the ballot taking place. The union has not set strike dates.

Hydro morphodynamic modelling in Mediterranean storms: errors and uncertainties under sharp gradients

DYNAMIC - DYNamic feedbacks of climate impacts on current Adaptation and Mitigation Investment Choice (EC-FP7-298436)
This paper deals with the limits in hydrodynamic and morphodynamic predictions for semi-enclosed coastal domains subject to sharp gradients (in bathymetry, topography, sediment transport and coastal damages). It starts with an overview of wave prediction limits (based on satellite images and buoy records) in a restricted domain, namely the Mediterranean basin, followed by an in-depth analysis of the Catalan coast, one of its land boundaries. The morphodynamic modelling for such regions is next discussed, based on the impact of a characteristic storm. The driving wave and surge conditions produce a morphodynamic response that is validated against the pre- and post-storm emerged beach state, recovered from two lidar images. The quality of the fit is discussed in terms of the physical processes and the suitability of the employed modelling suite. From here an assessment of errors and uncertainties is presented, with the aim of establishing the prediction limits for flooding and erosion analyses, key elements for coastal engineering decisions.

Forbes contributor Peter Boyd anticipates six major content marketing trends for the new year. The first is that long-form content will be even more important in 2019, as search engines reward lengthier posts in their results rankings. Two, Boyd foresees significant growth in video marketing. For those planning to integrate everything from webinars to webcasts into their 2019 marketing plans, he recommends sticking to a regular, optimized upload schedule. Three, voice search will be big in 2019 as more online publications use audio content to keep up with their readers' demands. Four, more organizations will employ chatbots that can answer questions and offer 24/7 member service. Five, those that haven't jumped on the social media bandwagon yet will be incorporating it into their content marketing plans in 2019, with many starting with Facebook. Finally, Boyd expects greater "authenticity." He writes: "The undertone of honesty and authenticity can attract the types of clients with whom you'll actually want to work and can make your content marketing initiatives far more successful."

More cakes than I can count. Enough cookies to fill several boxcars. Pies, pies, and more pies. Pounds of Poppy Seed Chicken Casserole, a plethora of Poulet, fountains of fudge, bunches of bread and on and on and on.
And none of it means absolutely anything without customers. Especially customers who have become friends. Those very special customers who regularly enter. The customers we worry about when it's been a while since we've seen them. The customers who have made us a part of their celebrations and special occasions. The customers who have made us a part of their plain old Tuesday nights and Thursday lunches – a part of their lives. We ask about your "mama and 'nem" and you ask about ours. Customer that aren't customers anymore – they have become friends.
And none of it means absolutely anything without friends. Those friends who cheered when we began this journey. Friends who helped start the dream. Friends who continue to stand and cheer and support and love. Friendship is one of the greatest blessings God has given us. That great Creator who fearfully and wonderfully made us all, who blesses us and blesses us again, saw fit to bless us even more with the ability to love and be loved by friends.
And none of it means absolutely anything without family. My poor family! They have listened to my tirades, borne through all-night baking sessions, shared my tears and shared my joys. They were there at the beginning and, I'm confident, will be there throughout the ride – however long that might be. These cakes and pies and cookies have put two girls through school, helped out through their college years, seen one through a wedding and one through nursing school.
And none of it means absolutely anything without my God. My God who has seen fit to allow me to live out a dream My God who has placed people in my path to help fulfill my dream. And my God who loved me so much that I have a hope beyond this dream to an eternal home.
So many people have walked through those doors at 1207-F East Forrest Street. So many friends, so many family members, so many strangers. And each person has played a part in the building of a dream.
I must lovingly mention Mike and Nikki Ogles, who have done more for me than even they know. My parents, Ronald and Judy Chandler, who have loved and supported me even when I didn't deserve it. My children, Emily and Blake Persell and Erin Schrimsher, who have borne the brunt of it all. Also my church family who have helped out when I needed a hand and have been my most loyal customers. And, all of my employees, both past and present. I'm so afraid to name everyone for fear of leaving someone out. Thanks to them, things somehow, got done.
So today, on the 10th anniversary of the opening of "Suzanne's Bakery and Eatery", I want to say thanks to all who have prayed for, worried with, helped out, laughed with, cried with, encouraged, listened, advised, and bought with us for the past 10 years. It's been quite a ride!

When the divorce papers arrive in the mail, Mel is determined to preserve for Henry and Katie a sense of normalcy, and keeps their annual family trip on the books. When Joyce's online date walks out on her, Mel grudgingly invites her along. To their surprise, while on what has previously been a vacation from hell, Mel and Joyce discover that their separation has allowed them to finally appreciate one another - just as they're ready to sign the divorce papers.

On one of my travels around the blogosphere I just so happened to stumble across this blog by someone who is in a similar situation to me, but it looks like he's gone through a lot of trauma. I found it a fascinating read, and I shall continue to read it. I'm glad to see it's not just me who's having difficulty dealing with leaving teenagehood. In fact, it got me thinking… back to the stuff I started this blog with – i.e. the transition into adulthood. I do believe it's one of the most overlooked times of life… the time when you finally do begin to realise what your place is in the world – i.e. not much – because you have much more of a grip on reality.
When you first become a teenager, you get your mind filled with all the usual "you can do anything!" from your family and school. To an extent it's true, but there will still have been a significant number of doors that have been closed even at this point in life, largely due to simple upbringing and the status, or not, of your family.
Of course, while you're a teenager you suffer all those raging hormones. One minute you're feeling great, the next not quite so. But overall, your grip on reality is not quite there. As a result of constant pressure by families to succeed, as well as the hell that peer pressure can be, you can underestimate what you can achieve, and at the same time, overestimate the world. It's nice to be youthful and idealistic… the world is your oyster.
The thoughts rush through your head… I can actually be something! I want to be able to change the world. And it all seems so easy! Your family push you further… often hoping that you will fill in on their own failed ambitions.
It's only when the realities of life start hitting you – i.e. the capitalist society and the endless pursuit of wealth – you realise, in fact, that things are not quite as they seem. This begins to kick in around the age of 17, and it carries on into mid 20s. I believe I am in the midst of it now.
You begin to find your place in the world. Your true place. Egos have been deflated, and the pressure applied by parents disappears as you sail off over the horizon to a new life. You may still have a lot you would like to achieve – you should never stop dreaming, after all – but you are tempered by reality. Tempered by the fact that your real chance of being exceptional in an area of study, or maybe more, are probably gone. You begin to realise you're stuck with what you've got and you really have to make the most of it.
And it's at this point that you realise in fact that you're just another Mr or Mrs Average. The same old, same old, being reproduced endlessly and destined for a life of mediocrity. Gotta find a job and become a slave to the wage. Deal with shit from bosses forever. Maybe have a family so you can have kids to live out your dream that you didn't quite achieve in the end?
Uh-oh. Aren't we back where we started?
This is the cycle of life. We overestimate our value, even once we have realised how tedious life really is, because even then we fail to understand just how impossible true, unique and world-changing attainment is. A miniscule percentage of people actually have an impact in this world. A real impact. Not the old dears who kick up a fuss over the placement of some wind turbines. That's still just the monotony of life.
Yet no one will ever really drop these thoughts that they may some day have an impact. It's possibly good that way, as eventually some people have to emerge to change the world – for the better, or even for the worse. But in the meantime, 99.999999% of the rest of us have to live in a deluded world of our own self-importance.
We are not really free people. We are following the age old programme of life. Get born. Reproduce. Die. There is nothing more to it than that.
These thoughts don't really go through the heads of early to mid teenagers. It's not the best thing to be telling younger kids after all – that life is not a particularly good thing for the vast majority of people. It's us late teens, and then the early 20-somethings, who bear all of this in mind. Some of them still don't understand it, and probably never will. Others – the vast majority – will begin to realise it, openly deny it, but internally accept that little niggling feeling at the back of their minds: that the long slow decline of life has begun.
Consequently, I and all of my peers are still developing as people. We will continue to do so, just in the same way everyone else does. But we are at a more crucial stage than most. This is the time in life when things are, the overwhelming majority of the time, finally set in stone.
We make mistakes. I make mistakes. We're just trying to find our place. The older generation above us may have already found theirs.
But we are still looking. We will find it, but we must find it ourselves.
So please, give us some space and time. We will eventually become the Mr and Mrs Average that the world craves.
Then we can all be Average together.

The Testing Gate (
It consists of seven doors. Each of the two panels of the first, smallest door weighs two tons, and a bigger panel weighs twice as much as the panel immediately preceding it. The gate is designed so that it opens the door corresponding to the strength of the pushing force.[1] In order to enter the estate safely, one must open the Testing Gate. Those who enter the estate in any other way will be at risk of being attacked and killed by Mike, a trained giant guard dog of the Zoldyck Family.[2]
Before Killua receives any form of Nen training, he could open up to the third door, weighing 16 tons in total. After spending 20 days training with heavy equipment, Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio could also open it, but only Leorio could open up to the second door, which weighs 8 tons.[2] When Killua returns home after the Chimera Ant Extermination mission, he opens the fifth door, weighing 64 tons.[3]
|Number (Symbol*)
|Who can open
|1st (一)
|4 tons
|Zebro,[1] Gon*, Kurapika*[4]
|2nd (二)
|8 tons
|3rd (三)
|16 tons
|4th (Ⅰ三, Ⅸ, 匚)
|32 tons
|5th (Λ)
|64 tons
|6th (ΛⅠ, N)
|128 tons
|7th (ⅠΛⅠ, W)
|256 tons
- The symbols on the gate resembles, as a whole, the Roman numerals and the Chinese/Japanese numerals.
- The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd doors have almost identical marks to, respectively: 一 (ichi, 1), 二 (ni, 2), and 三 (san, 3) of the Japanese numerals. Less likely a sideways version of the Ⅰ, Ⅱ, and Ⅲ of the Roman numerals.
- The 4th door have a mark that could be: the concatenation of Ⅰ or a standing 一 (ichi, 1) with a sideways version of Ⅲ or 三 (san, 3) adding a total of 4, most likely a type of amalgamation between the Japanese and the Roman numerals. Or yet, less likely, a rearrangement of the letters that compose the alternative form for 4 (Ⅳ) in Roman numerals (ⅠⅠⅠⅠ).
- For some reason only in the 2011 anime series adaptation the fourth mark is different, firstly, a Roman numeral Ⅸ (9) with underline and overline. A possibility is the confusion between an intended Ⅴ (5) and Ⅹ (10), since 4 is Ⅳ. At a later moment, when Killua opened the gate until the 5th door,[5] the mark was distinctly different from before, similar to 匚 or a square without the right-hand line.
- The 5th, 6th and 7th doors have similar marks to, respectively: an upside down Ⅴ, an upside down Ⅵ, and a rearranged-upside down Ⅶ.
- For some reason only in the 2011 anime series adaptation the sixth and seventh marks seem slightly different, respectively, appearing more like an italicized uppercase letter n (N) and a W.
- In the manga, the only ones that were directly shown opening the gate are: Zebro (the 1st door, two times),[1][2] Killua (only the first time, until the 3rd door),[1] and Leorio (only the first time, the 1st door).[2]
- Since he managed to enter the Zoldyck premises, Muna is implied to have opened the Testing Gate.[6]
Anime and Manga Differences
- In the 1999 anime series adaptation, the only ones that were directly shown opening the gate are: Zebro (the 1st door, two times),[7][8] Gon (the 1st door), and Leorio (the 1st door, slightly).[8]
- In the 2011 anime series adaptation, the only ones that were directly shown opening the gate are: Zebro (the 1st door),[9] Killua (until the 3rd and the 5th door after),[9][10][5] Leorio and Kurapika together (the 1st door, minimally), and Leorio, Kurapika, and Gon as a team (the 1st door).[10] Unlike the manga and the 1999 anime version, neither Leorio nor Kurapika nor Gon were able to open the gate alone.

May 2014
As the rains fall and we all grow increasingly bewildered as to which season it might even be anymore it's time to catch up on a month past and a month ahead.
April began over at MIT, as a continuation of my Resident Artist role alongside sound artist Stephen Vitiello, as it indeed it will continue in May too. This was an extremely dynamic week meeting with Tod Machover and the Media Lab folks, learning about smart objects that can assemble themselves with Skylar Tibbits, the possibility of '4D' printing and so much more. It's all very thrilling!
Excitingly in May I will also have a live show with Stephen Vitiello in collaboration with contemporary ensemble Either/Or at MIT CAST, the Center for Art, Science & Technology at MIT on 16 May. This will be the world premiere of a new concert length work. Tickets are available for free here, but strictly limited.
In mid April I returned to the Europazz Festival in Le Mans to play with French accordionist Pascal Contet and guitarist and singer Joel Cadbury of Unkle and South fame. We premiered The White Concert, which we will be performing elsewhere in France later this year. You can watch our rehearsals online, although please bear in mind I was horribly sick with flu at the time so look truly awful.
British group These New Puritans recently performed in London at the Barbican in London with my colleagues Heritage Orchestra, and at the same time had an interactive installation Magnetic Field using the extraordinary Magnetic Resonator Piano, designed by Andrew McPherson. This MRP is an electronically-augmented acoustic piano capable of eliciting new sounds acoustically from the piano strings, without speakers, where electromagnets induce vibrations in the strings independently of the hammers, creating infinite sustain, crescendos, harmonics, pitch bends and new timbres, all controlled from the piano keyboard.
I was kindly invited to perform a short set on this piano at the installation, and quite honestly had not been so intimidated in a long time, especially since the last time I played piano publicly was when I was 12 years old! Marvel at my poor skills here.
Time for some free music again and this month it's a very special reworking of a track originally produced by Martyn Rainford for Alan Dunn's A history of background CD. This exclusive remix appears only on the A-side of a single 12″ dubplate produced for the 'Colonize' exhibition in Jamestown, New York, April 2014. The work was produced in conjunction with Bruce Davies at BasementArtsProject and pressed by The Carvery. Enjoy this freeform experiment.
This month I rebuilt my studio, following my fresh obsession with modular synthesis. This is an extremely engaging and addictive world of eccentric creation, populated by some of the kindest and most supportive community of folks I've had the fortune of meeting recently. I know it's only going to get worse so admire the studio whilst it's still within reach. You can read an extensive interview with me regarding my studio and recording history over at Headphone Commute. Listen to the results of my first modular recording session here.
Out this month is an amazing double album by French post rock masters Oiseaux-Tempête, who work with limited means in an epic manner, not unlike Godspeed You! Black Emperor. I was invited to make a remix for this release, alongside Witxes, Machinefabriek, Do Make Say Think and Jasper TX. Fortunately you can listen to the entire release here, as it streams before official release.
It's with a very sad heart that I learned that my dear friend, Italian video artist and filmmaker Claudio Sinatti had suddenly passed away early in April. We'd worked together on a number of projects over the last decade, with our last performance in collaboration with his Live Video Ensemble at O' Associazione Milan in 2010. You can watch a film on this online, and read my tribute to his memory in Digicult journal online here.
Don't forget that copies of my recent live album, Electronic Garden, still currently come with a free digital download of a second epic live album, recorded at 1/4 Inch Wollongong Australia in 2010. You have to make your order through Greedbag to ensure you take advantage of this special offer. This package is fully accompanied by photos and a short film as part of the download package.
I'm off to the Bellaria Film Festival in Italy this week to perform my 52 Spaces project, originally commissioned and produced by The British School at Rome for film director Michelangelo Antonioni's 90th birthday in 2002. 52 Spaces uses sounds of the city of Rome and elements of The Eclipse (1962) to create a soundtrack of an image of a city suspended in time, anonymous and surreal. In case you can't make it to the beautiful town of Bellaria then you'll have a second chance in London at Kings Place on 14th September.
On 26th May I will be sharing my birthday with Stevie Nicks, Helena Bonham Carter and Lenny Kravitz, though probably not all at the same party. I shall be turning into a very round number indeed 😀
So as always thanks for your support and wishing a positive month ahead to you all.
Best wishes
Professor Scanner

Weave Waves
The Crafts Council presents Weave Waves, a digital commission, which brings together sound artist Scanner, and textile designer Ismini Samanidou.Weave Waves explores sound, geography and mapping and how this data relates to both textile weave structures and musical scores.
Scanner and Samanidou were inspired by the visual and technical similarities between the digital software they both use and the physicality of code.
Night Haunts
Artangel Interaction invited writer and historian Sukhdev Sandhu to write a nocturnal journal unfolding over the course of 2006. His postings will appear sequentially at this microsite specially designed by Mind Unit. Sandhu's forays see him prospecting in the London night with the people who drive its pulse, from the avian police to security guards, zookeepers and exorcists. Acclaimed artist and musician Scanner has collaborated with Sukhdev and Ian Budden of Mind Unit to compose the sound for the site. If you would like to be kept informed as each episode is posted, join artangel's mailing list by clickinghere .
Bittersweet Songs for the Sleepless City
NightJam is the latest project in Artangel Interaction's Nights of London series of artist-led collaborations with people who have a special view on a hidden side of the nocturnal city. Scanner invited young people at New Horizon Youth Centre in King's Cross to collaborate on a creative project that expresses how the city at night looks and sounds to their ears and eyes. Through music and voice workshops they explored the sense of freedom and fear, celebration and solitude of the concealing darkness. Meanwhile, they captured their nights on disposable cameras, taking images that are at times eerie, startling, contemplative and funny. NightJam presents two elusive visual and musical journeys through the city's 'quiet' hours.
NightJam presents two music tracks, a film, photographs, that can be experienced and freely downloaded. Additionally it features remixes of NightJam by Stephen Vitiello, Hakan Lidbo, Troy Banarzi, Si-cut.db and Pete Lockett.

How To Create Order From Chaos In today's Sunday Letters, I'm taking a look at how we can create order from chaos. I'm staying with The Artist's Manifesto until publication on October 15th, and This article is part two of chapter eight, titled; The Creative Self. Many of us in western industrialised society do not […]
What is the nature of the self? What is it that makes me, me and you, you? How we identify ourselves in relation to the environment and others, has an enormous bearing on the experiences we encounter and the levels of success or failure we witness. Here we will explore this fundamental to human performance and creative expertise.
The Creative Self: Who Is Doing The Making?
Do know who you are? Are you consistent and steady in your daily creative endeavours, confident in the face of the sometimes harsh responses to your work? Or maybe there is silence, nobody pays attention. How does that affect you? Your driver's licence has a name and a photograph. Your online social profiles, your employee records, your tax accounts, birth certificate and other records all represent a fixed and unchanging you. But are you fixed and unchanging?
Sunday Letters Christmas Eve
It's Sunday morning and it's Christmas Eve too, so I firstly would like to wish you all a happy and peaceful Christmas and new year. I like Christmas. That to me is a good enough reason to take part, although I think most of us just row in simply because there's a tradition built up in our culture. I want to talk about that a little bit today.
EP007 The Great Existential Crisis
Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Android | Email | Google Podcasts | Stitcher | RSS | More
Over the last few weeks I've been thinking about the nature of my reality. In particular, I was considering what it means to transition through what is termed in psychology as the existential crisis and how the outside world relates to that experience. This podcast episode is about that.
Kill Your Fucking Heroes!
You must kill your fucking heroes! Take the metaphorical blade and slit their metaphorical throats. Slaughter them! Have no mercy. These fictions are no use to you. They keep you from your best work and enslave you in the false idea that they have come to represent in your mind.
What Is Self Efficacy? (& Why It's Vital To Creative Success)
In order for us creative people to find success in our careers we must be willing and able to identify our own deficiencies in self belief and ability. By taking an inner look at our own behaviour we can sometimes identify where these deficiencies lie. Self efficacy may be just another one of those abstract terms to you, but as artists it matters that we understand it. – Here's why.
Self Identity: The Inner Conflict Of I Versus Me
It's a self identity thing. Who am I kind of self talk, you know when someone voices an opinion of you or your performance. I was going to use the word "ego" but I'll choose something else because we have a kind of mixed up notion of what ego is. I'll use the word "me" instead.

How well do you think you know the WD-40 Rally car? Do you know the make of our car? Do you know how much our Rally car is worth if you were to buy it? Check out this video to find out all you need to know about our Championship winning WD-40 Rally car.
Also check out how Stephen discusses the main key differences between Rally driving and Circuit racing.
As Stephen describes in the video, the WD-40 Rally car is a specially designed, one of a kind car. It's designed to tackle the most extreme driving conditions, including rain, gravel, mud and snow. The car is a Ford Fiesta but unlike anything you can buy in your local dealership. This car is an M-sport designed Ford Fiesta specifically built for Rallying!
A special car also comes with a special price tag. If you were to buy yourself this magnificent machine, it would set you back £350,000. A touch more than your regular Fiesta from the local dealership!
Stephen tells us how different Rally driving is from Circuit Racing. He explains that in Rally, you never do the same stage twice. (Whereas in Circuit Racing you will repeat the same corners every lap and learn the track.) Rally drivers, like Stephen, have to rely on the notes from their trusty co-driver (in this case Micheal).
We would like to wish Stephen, his co-driver Micheal and SGP Motorsport Good luck in this weekend's Carlisle Rally. This will be Round 4 of this year's BTRDA Championship and the boys will be raring to go after a month away from the car. Stephen and Micheal will be looking for their first win of the season and look to get their championship defence back on track!
The uses shown and described for WD-40 Multi-Use Product were provided to WD-40 Company by the users themselves. These uses haven't been tested by WD-40 Company and do not constitute a recommendation of suggestion for use by WD-40 Company. Common sense should be exercised whenever using WD-40 Company products. Always follow the instructions and take heed of any warnings printed on the packaging.

Jamie Dornan is on the road promoting the final installment of the Fifty Shades franchise, Fifty Shades Freed, and among his TV appearances, he was recently on The Late Late Show with James Corden.
During the segment, Corden asked Jamie about the fact that he once lived with Eddie Redmayne (known for such films as Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Les Mis, The Danish Girl and The Theory of Everything, the latter for which he won an Academy award).
Apparently, there was a fair amount of competition between the Irish and English thespians as they shared an agent and tended to go for the same auditions.
As the host reminds Jamie though, it all worked out for both actors in the end anyway!

The first time he ever saw her, she was standing on the corner by a Stop- N- Go drinking a soda from a glass soda bottle. Her hair was loose and she was wearing a pink and white stripped shirt.
That moment had happened so long ago but those minutes stretched out for years and there was never more then five minutes when he wasn't there with her.
" Is this really all for me?" he asked her, just as the Sun was about to fall.
She rested her chin on his shoulder and nodded. " Every square inch. "
" I just can't believe it. "
" I know, but go ahead. Try it on for size. "
He started to step away from her and she lifted her chin up and let him go. " I can't believe you came all this way to give me that."
He had slowed his car down and one of his friends had waved to her and she stepped off of the curb and smiled as she walked in front of them. The Soda bottle was only half full and her hair was so long and so dark and that minute she was in front of them became a lifetime.
" I've thought about you everyday and that first time I saw you. " he told her " And now your here. Giving me this." His voice caught and he turned around and reached out to her.
He thought about his wife and daughter for a second, but it was only for a second. " What have I done to deserve this, to deserve you after all of these years."
They were standing over his open grave, the one he would shortly be buried in and she said, " you ran me over and left me for dead, that's what you've done to deserve me now. And you're going to deserve me for a very long time " she promised.
They lowered his casket into the ground and at his graveside his wife and daughter cried, as they had been for several days now at their unexpected loss.
Next to his family, one of the mourners, the other boy from the car that day, now an old man who smoked to much and ate to much, looked down the neatly kept cemetery path and he saw her standing there, the girl in the pink and white top drinking soda pop from a glass bottle.
Daily Addictions Prompt: Immense
80 Years Of Halloween Costumes With Jack Black
Below the surface
is where the monsters live.
The big ones that only come out at night
to hunt us
in our dreams.
Inktober: Whale
My parents used to take us to either Kmart or Woolworths to choose our Halloween costumes.
I liked Woolworth's just fine, but I liked Kmart more because they sold popcorn and Icees .
Those delicious snacks made up for the fact that no one was going to see my costume that I spent HOURS deciding upon because it was always cold and I had to wear a coat and I hated the mask so it ended up on top of my head and it worked it's way to the back of my head and that little elastic string that went under your chin ended up around my neck where it tried, with great effort to strangle me.
At some point I did take my mask off and ended up either carrying it or stuffing it into my treat bag- the funny thing is I kept those masks from year to year and I wore them every single chance I got. I can tell you one thing- my Dad and whichever one of his parents he finagled into Trick or Treating with us weren't going to carry it for me because that's not what they were there to do.
I guess they were there to see what treats I got so that they could decide early in the evening which ones they thought looked ' suspicious ' and may have been tampered with. I can't count how many times they saved my life on Halloween night. I come from a family of heroes, let me tell you.
One year I talked my parents into letting me go with my friends, Bonnie and Laurie up and down our street- with the promise that once we did that we would come back to our house and my Dad would take us to the other streets.
The great thing was that this was in the late 60's and the plan was that me and my friends would hit the house two doors up and Trick or Treat ' The Hippy House"
That's right, we lived two doors from a genuine Hippy house where the police brought people home and left them passed out on the lawn. Where one guy used to tell me from behind sunglasses, that had I think colored lenses- ones that he even wore in the dark- to 'stick it to the man' on my way to and from Kindergarten in the mornings.
The Hippies had set up a haunted house.
Me and my friends had watched them getting it ready all week long. We were out of our minds with curiosity because we had never seen them move around so much and had never seen them up during the daylight before.
On Halloween night we stood in line and when we got to the door my Sunglass Friend was without Sunglasses because his face was painted up like Frankenstein's monster.
We stood there staring up at him in all of that greasepaint and in his great costume ( we may have been a little scared to )and promptly forgot what to say.
So Bonnie just held open her treat bag and said " Thank you. "
A girl, she was very pretty and always wore black chokers with little flower charms was wearing a dress that looked like something my Grandma would have worn which I didn't get then but I get now said. " Hey, it's Halloween. What are you supposed to say?"
The lights went on.
I pulled my mask back down, I may have howled like a dog because that's what I was that year, and I screamed " Stick it to the man!"
I had to go home after that visit because Frankenstein's Monster emptied most of the candy from his bowl into my bag.
Costumes are more elaborate now- and I'm pretty sure they're non-flammable and the masks won't kill you by strangulation but I have to wonder if that sense of danger coming from our killer costumes and parents who told us that our candy could have been poisoned so they were going to take it and throw it away gave an extra thrill to the night that kids just don't get anymore.
I hope not.
Halloween is that one night you can put on a mask, be who you want to be and get rewarded for it.
With candy.
How wonderful is that?
I have been very honest and it is quite apparent in the statements I've made here that I am no artist. I mean, if you could see ( and maybe I'll show you sometime ) the horrors that I've created you'd catch my drift.
But I do like to create things, it's just not what I had in mind when I started out- you know, it's like when you think you've only tapped something with your car and you get out to check the damage and when you see what you've done you almost vomit all over the place- its like that.
Here are some pictures I colored from a color book that had a "vintage" looking Halloween drawings that you can make your own. In the past I've even used those puffy paints, glitter, embroidery string and glue in other books. How did it turn out? Well. You won't be seeing pictures of those efforts anytime soon. But I did dispose of them with dignity and promise to do better next time
I used a combination of gel pens and colored pencils. The Colored pencils are my favorite things to use when I color because you can blend them ( some of them ) like pastels. Anyway, after I was done I ran them through the editor program on my phone and I really loved the results.
And here they are- my little creations, set loose on an unsuspecting world.
Run my little creatures- run as fast as you can!
What I used:
Gel Pens HERE
Colored Pencils HERE
Daily Addictions Prompt: Apparent
One should never speak ill of the dead.
It really is pointless because they are beyond your anger and ability to shove an ice pick under their eye and fix what vexed them in their small, petty and wasted life.
Still, there is an exception to every rule and today I have found myself in that position.
You my friend are no longer with us.
And I am oh so very glad of it.

Have you ever noticed that the colder a region is, the less clothing runners wear in the winter? I have been running in California will runners wearing layers of high-tech gear and still feeling chilled at 45 degrees but been on trails in the northeast and found runners wearing shorts and simple long-sleeved shirts when it was 10 degrees and snowing.
I call this phenomenon "the inverse clothing law of running." Feel free to steal that name.

If your confidence threatens other people, you say "so be it". You turn around, walk away, and continue being yourself. Because deep down you know, the people who truly love you will follow.
It's hard trying to please everyone. After all, you're not about to tailor your personality to each person that you meet. But if there's one word that people like to use to describe you, it's "intimidating". You like your alone time as much as you like spending time with people. You find yourself being quiet sometimes while other times you're loud about your opinions. And it often makes people misunderstand you. Here's how you can tell.
Your strong personality comes with great ethics. When you say something, you mean it and do exactly that. But when you see people complaining unnecessarily or making excuses for not fulfilling their promises, you immediately call them out. You don't let people get away with being two-faced and when you have the strong conviction to say it to them, they might find you intimidating and refuse to accept it.
To say what you want and stand up for your needs is one of the most admirable qualities. But not everyone has the emotional bandwidth to empathize with your needs and it makes them feel like you're coming off too strong. "When you're quick to speak your mind, and expect the same from others, your personality can come off as aggressive by people," psychotherapist and relationship coach. Adamaris Mendoza, told Bustle.
You're not one to shy away from deep, even difficult conversations. Sometimes, you feel like people refuse to talk about their deeper feeling and hide their emotions behind meaningless banter. And it's something you find uncomfortable because you believe someone is running away from their problems by suppressing their feelings. That's why you don't bother with people who refrain from giving time to people who aren't ready to open up about their vulnerabilities.
You don't run your life based on the approval that others give you. You refuse to change yourself to suit what other people think. For you, it's not about getting someone's attention but about getting respect from someone who accepts you for who you are. And if your confidence threatens other people, you say "so be it". You turn around, walk away, and continue being yourself; the people who truly love you will follow.
Because of the tough experiences you've had to endure, you avoid people who seem manipulative. It's not being closed-off or intimidating; it's just you being protective of yourself. "When we have been bullied, neglected, or otherwise victimized, there is a good chance that we will over-read threat in others as a self-protective measure," wrote psychiatrist and an expert on mental health, relationships, and self-care, Grant Hilary Brenner, for Psychology Today.
When you run out of opportunities, you create them yourself. You like keeping things under your control and people may find your independence overwhelming, especially because you want to handle everything on your own. Strong people, especially women, "often feel we need to tough it out on our own. We forget to give others the gift of letting them help us," wrote Marcia Reynolds, acclaimed coach.
The one thing you never do is sugarcoat the truth and you prefer to surround yourself with people who can handle it. But often, the emotionally weak ones find it too much to handle and might think you're being aggressive. "Being direct and assertive involves being honest and genuine while remaining appropriate, diplomatic and respectful of yourself and others," wrote psychotherapist and founder of Urban Balance, Joyce Marter, for HuffPost.

Photos are actually the best way to preserve a particular moment. Photos are an essential part of our life. They play a very important role in connecting us with our past. Photos connect us with people, places, festivals, special occasions and feelings. Photographs are best called as tangible links to the past and losing this precious stuff can be really painful.
If you have also unintentionally deleted some important photos or a complete folder containing photos from your Android smartphone then you are not alone. They are many people who are looking for ways to recover or restore deleted photos on their Android smartphone. Thankfully there are few methods which can help you get those deleted photos back.
There are both simple as well as advanced methods using which you can recover your photos. We are first going to start with the most basic ones and then will move to the advanced ones.
1. Google Photos
The simplest and one of the best ways when it comes to restoring you deleted or lost photos is by using Google Photos. Google Photos is an app by Google which generally comes preinstalled on every android device. Google Photos is helpful in recovering your deleted photos because these apps keep a copy of all your deleted photos for the next 60 days. It allows you to recover those photos within this period of time.
Just open the app and go to trash bin from the left side menu. Press and hold the image you want to recover and now tap restore option to restore the file.
2. Microsoft One Drive
Another way to restore your photos is by using Microsoft One Drive. This app also keeps a copy of deleted photos, but it only stores them for 30 days. The photos might also get deleted earlier if your recycle bin covers more than 10 percent of the total storage of your phone.
To restore the photos just go to the app and then select the photos from the list you want to restore. Click the restore button present on the top right side. This will restore the photos to their original location.
3. Using FindMyPhoto App
The free android photo recovery app FindMyPhoto is one of the few data recovery apps which actually does what it says. It takes the advantage that the deleted photos are still present somewhere on the device memory. That is the reason why it has such a high rating on the Goole Play Store.
The free android photo recovery app FindMyPhoto is compatible with all the devices running on Android version 2.2 or above. This basically means it can run on all the Android smartphones and tablets without any issues.
As you all know most of the data recovery applications work on a rooted device only. That is not a problem with FindMyPhoto. Another great thing about it is that there are no ads or random pop-ups as in other free application which completely ruins the user experience.
Steps to use FindMyPhoto for recovering deleted photos and videos
Using the free android photo recovery app FindMyPhoto is very easy and simple. Simply download the free application and it starts recovering photos on your phone.
- First of all, open Google Play Store and then search for this free android photo recovery app FindMyPhoto.
- Now click on the install button and install the application.
- Once the app is downloaded and installed, launch it.
- Here you will find a recovery button saying Tap to Recover. This is present in the middle of the screen.
- Click on it to start the data recovery process.
- Once you click that button, the tool will start scanning for all the deleted photos and videos which can be recovered.
- The scanning may take a few minutes depending on the size of your phone's memory.
- Wait for it to get completed. After successful scanning, the app will show you a list of all the available photos and videos which can be recovered.
- Now select the photo or photos you want to recover and then click on Recovery Button which is present at the bottom right corner.
This will recover the deleted photos on your Android device. Just try this once and it will never disappoint you.
4. Using DropBox
Restoring deleted photos using the DropBox is quite simple. But in order to do so, you need to login to the desktop version of DropBox. The DropBox app doesn't have the restoration feature and to restore the images you need to use your PC.
Log in to your DropBox account on your PC and then go to the Files option. Click on Deleted Files option and then choose the photos or photos you want to recover. DropBox also keeps your deleted images for 30 days. After that, they get permanently deleted.
5. EaseUS Data Recovery
If you have not uploaded your photos to any cloud server, then you can restore them using the EaseUS recovery app. This is a great application which is available for both Windows and Mac. Just download the app on your PC and connect your SD card from which you want to recover deleted photos. Now click on Scan to scan for available files that can be restored.
Now from the list choose the one you want to recover.
So we have covered some of the best methods which can help you recover your deleted images the easy way. All these methods are 100% free and safe and I am very sure one of them will surely help you get those lost photos back.
In order to avoid losing your photos again the best way is to turn on the Auto-Uploading to the cloud. This automatically stores all your photos to a secure cloud server and you can download them anytime on any device you want.

Westerman's Outside Sublime is there to soothe modern anxieties, "I wanted to write a note to a struggling friend. I hoped it would be an arm on the shoulder for anyone finding things difficult. I wanted to be really direct with this, and for it to feel joyful and powerful in an unobtrusive sort of way." Beatrix Blaise in direct response created a video that is soothing and fluid and presented this same lyrical utopia where serenity exists all around.
"I'm always trying to find a material quality to songs and I think Westerman's music has a lot of unusual texture that was easy to build ideas off. There's a magical realism within the sounds of Outside Sublime that I wanted to evoke in the visuals: realistic and alien, tangible and ethereal. The song has such a peaceful quality I instantly imagined a place of harmonious escape like images of gentle lapping water and dreamy organ-like plants. Out of that came a kind of visceral world, where each thing in it was trying to mirror a human softness and duality."

Many attorneys mistakenly believe that casting a wide net as you can when it comes to law firm digital marketing is the ideal strategy. After all, don't you want as many people as possible to hear about your law firm? In reality, this is generally not the case. While targeting as wide an audience could result in more initial traffic, not properly segmenting and targeting your law firm marketing campaign can result in your firm spending far more time, money, and effort than necessary. Instead, firms should concentrate on highlighting their services to a specific audience that is most in need of the services they offer.
A law firm digital marketing agency can help create a law firm digital marketing strategy that speaks to the people who want to hear about your firm the most, saving you valuable time and money and generating more qualified leads than ever. Learn how to carefully consider your audience in your law firm marketing efforts.
How to Target Your Potential Clients For Law Firm Digital Marketing
Publish Better Legal Content
When your firm chooses to focus on a specific audience, it is easier to focus on your target audience and create content on your website that they will find useful. For example, a firm focusing on corporate law will have little to no need to discuss divorce law, as its clients will not be interested in that topic. Creating content that your audience will find interesting, useful, and relevant to their needs will help your firm develop a reputation as an industry leader. Not only will you be able to share your law firm's expertise in your field, you will also demonstrate that you understand the unique needs of your chosen audience.
As a result, people who read your content will feel confident in retaining your law firm's services for their legal needs. While information about broader topics may still be helpful, providing more specific content will prove more valuable to your potential clients and build your even reputation further.
Conduct Focused Outreach
Once you create content, it is important to get it out into the world, beyond the pages of your own website. You may be able to post it on your social media pages, or place it in a legal magazine. In either case, you must consider the audiences of each new platform to ensure that your efforts are effective. By understanding your audience, you increase your chances of placing your content in a place where it will be appreciated by its viewers.
Marketing outreach can take other forms as well. You may choose to comment on various social media posts with your law firm's social accounts or volunteer to speak at various events. The same principle, however, applies. Understanding where your audience is and what they need will help you focus your outreach in the areas where it will make the most impact and create the most benefit for your firm.
Benefits of Selecting the Right Target Audience For Law Firm Digital Marketing
Experience Increased Conversions
Targeting the right audience increases your chances of turning a casual site visitor into a client. People are more likely to retain the services of a firm that they feel is speaking directly to them and their needs. In addition, targeted marketing can help customers feel that your firm truly has their best interests at heart. One way to do this is through targeted email marketing. This further segments your audience into smaller, more specific sections based on a variety of criteria, including their age, location, and interests. For example, if your firm specializes in immigration law, your content should obviously be mostly about this topic. However, you may be able to further segment your send newsletters by sharing with specific content information within the immigration sphere to people who have expressed an interest in cases relating to adopting children or international marriages. Showing that you understand your audience's specific needs in this way promotes trust and inspires potential customers clients to become paying real clients when they need legal services.
Save Time and Money
Creating television, radio, or print advertisements can be incredibly expensive. While they are sometimes difficult to ignore, are they really worth the money? In many cases, the answer is no. While a wide range of people view these ads, the ads often do not have an impact on the people viewing them. People are passively exposed to these ads and sometimes forced to view or listen to them, often causing frustration and rendering the ad all but useless. Targeted marketing, in contrast, focuses on people who are already searching for the content you are producing. For example, someone who types in search terms relating to your firm's services is already searching for those services and is more likely to become a qualified lead than someone passively viewing a TV ad about your firm. Using techniques like search engine optimization to create content relevant to users' needs saves your firm time and money compared to other forms of advertising.
Capturing the Audience
A professional law firm digital marketing agency can create a marketing plan tailored to reach your law firm's ideal audience. After discussing your firm's target audience, the agency will use a variety of methods to ensure that your message reaches them. The agency will use industry research, including trends and market analysis, to get more information. They agency will also examine your competitors and their marketing efforts to determine what kind of marketing is currently achieving good user engagement. Finally, an agency will conduct comprehensive keyword research and searcher intent research to determine what your audience is searching for. This can provide invaluable insight and information than can be used to create content that is searched for, found, and shared.
This research also shows marketers This shows what users are searching for, what words your audience use in search engines to search for content related to your industry. they are using to search for it, and whether your firm's content and services match up to those needs. Collecting all of this information helps a digital marketing agency develop the best law firm digital marketing plan possible for your target perfect audience, resulting in more website traffic and qualified leads for your firm.

Big Hair, Don't Care: Review of Vivica.A.Fox Hair Collection AKRON-V.
What do YOU think?
Is it a lace closure? Sew in weave? Wig? Or did my hair grow overnight and became VA-VA-VOOM?!?!
It has a lace part I had to cut off (as with all lace front wigs). There's always extra lace you MUST remember to cut off. I saw somebody rocking a wig with the extra lace in front still intact.. OMG! NO NO NO NO!!!
I only used Argan oil on this hair. NOT much, just two pumps on my palm, and finger combed my hair with it. I arranged the curls to frame my face in a way that complimented me.
I had worn this wig three different times prior to this day. And I take it off every night before I sleep. Blending my natural hair in the front gives me a natural hair line. I don't like the lace, straight line look! Oh No no no no!!!
A couple of hour later below, out with my friend eating food!!!
It's a Virgin drink if you're reading this mom. lol...
It was Brazilian style food.
Yummmmmmmmmmm .....
Me and Ibk of life. Our camera man (waiter) shook his hands a bit and we look blurry.. But oh well..
AND.... The Only DISADVANTAGE of this hair is the back of the hair.
If you should sleep with it, or rest your head too much on the back of a chair (car seat) for a while, The back kinda looks a bit LIKE this picture below.
That is definitely not fabulous, but a little water, and finger combing solves the problem and tames the frizz/poof.
Does that make me hate the hair? Oh No... I wanted BIG HAIR and that's what I got.
Enjoy some more pictures from my phone.
