Having top quality written content on your website is great for informing your visitors of the brand you are promoting. The more interesting and relevent your text, the better your incoming traffic ought to be. Yet if nobody sees or searches for it, who will read it? There can be more ways of driving traffic to your articles and homepages than just by seeking out organic searches through keyword targeting. Native advertising campaigns are a great, effective method of promoting your brand's content. Below are our findings from one such recent campaign carried out here at Smarter Digital Marketing with the Taboola widget.
Our client required us to source an effective method of advertising their business across targeted areas of the UK through online methods. Settling on native advertisement with banner ads was a great start – visual impact, concise information, quick to read and easy to redirect users.
Monitor Statistics Overviews
When monitoring a native advertising campaign, it is important to ensure that each individual campaign is monitored daily for traffic. The campaign we began to process for our client focused on advertising one article through three different advertisements managed by us. Using the Taboola widget, we are able to keep track of the progress the campaigns make, and can see clearly the results day by day.
The statistics above show the day-by-day stats that you should monitor for your clients to ensure your campaign is running effectively. Campaigns can be paused to allow for others to gain more exposure if you have multiple running, and you can determine which campaigns bring the most success based on daily ratings shown in your overall stats. We can see here that the campaign took off very swiftly and views are high followed by good click-through rates. Clicks have been increasing day by day, and on average the conversion rates are also growing stronger. For the monitoring of your campaign's efficiency, pay particular attention to conversion rates as we have done.
Comprehending Conversion Rates
The most important statistic in any native advertising campaign is going to be your conversion rate. This can be said for any type of advertising you do, so it is a fairly universal necessity in the advertising world. By definition, your conversion rates show the percentage of users who have clicked your advertisement, followed through the page to enter their information, and sent it to the website for the targeted reasons. Below is a table showing the statistics for our three campaign banners leading to an article of our client's that has a Call-To-Action embedded in the content.
The first advertisement would appear to be the most impressive and useful in terms of the impressions (views on the webpages the advertisement features on) that it has gathered. Indeed, it has more than four times the impressions than the other two ads do. The click-through rate (CTR) is also the highest of the three, as are the number of clicks it has obtained. The second advertisement has far less clicks, but if we look to the conversion rate we can see it has actually been the most effective of the three.
In terms of statistics, the second ad has almost double the conversion rates of its' competitor in the first banner, and given the smaller number of clicks it has obtained, it is the best for obtaining conversions. This is not to say that we should not take into account the number of impressions and clicks the first has obtained. Both are more than adequately fulfilling the client's desire to have a working campaign that is actively driving more traffic towards their content and to fulfilling their conversion aims. We have successfully maintained for them a campaign that is working, and working well to bring them the exposure of their brand and content they need.
Take Click-Through Rates with a Pinch of Salt
Be smart when you are reading your CTR statistics. Take a look at your individual website statistics and see where your advertisement is gaining the most impressions. It is likely that they ought to bring the most clicks to you, however this is not always the case, and you should read your stats carefully.
Table indicating websites with highest impression rates
When viewing your impressions and CTR, be sure to view the stats surrounding them. Take our client for example and the top websites listed by CTR. They are listed as 100% CTR – which looks amazing, until you realise it was a single click. You shouldn't take these values as anything more than the odd visit or two. The real stats you want are from the websites that bring you the best CTR and views. One of our client's examples shows a website that gained their advertisement 1,167 impressions and an impressive 2.48% CTR from 29 clicks, well above other percentages on some competitor websites.
Native Advertising Benefits Your Client Conversions
Yellow – Clicks : Red – Impressions : Green – Conversion Rate
As you can see in the above chart, the overall statistics shown in our client's campaign have been on the rise actively for the past month and seem to only be increasing, particularly when taking into account the increasing conversion rates against slightly falling impressions and clicks. Our client has enjoyed more exposure of their website and resulting increased traffic with the conversions they have been wanting to achieve.
Continuing to use native advertising can provide you with more conversions remains a reliable method of advertising your content with minimal management and real results. Smarter Digital Marketing can help set up your advertising campaign. For more information, Contact Us today.

This was so cute I had to repost it -- and record it too.
Emily Lakdawalla • November 18, 2009
Since tomorrow's class is going to be on playing with raw images from the rovers and Cassini, I've been playing with recent raw images from the rovers and Cassini! I just thought I'd share a couple of the fun items I've been working with.
Emily Lakdawalla • November 09, 2009
The Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity has been studying a lot of meteorites. That made me wonder, why study meteorites on Mars when we can study them in hand on Earth? How are Mars meteorites interesting?
Emily Lakdawalla • October 16, 2009
Opportunity's been making tracks lately, with brief stops to check out a couple of meteorites. I thought this view of its surroundings on sol 2,034 (a couple of days ago) was neat.
Emily Lakdawalla • October 02, 2009
I wonder if this came from the same original body as Block Island, or if Meridiani is the kind of slowly deflating landscape that accumulates meteorites at its surface, like the ANSMET meteorite hunting spots in Antarctica?
Emily Lakdawalla • September 29, 2009
Opportunity rover is driving, driving, driving. It departed the meteorite named Block Island on sol 2,004 and has routinely clocked 70 meters per driving day (with drives every other day).
Emily Lakdawalla • September 15, 2009
Just a cool image to start the morning: after a 70-meter drive yesterday, Opportunity's following not one but two sets of its own tracks.
Emily Lakdawalla • August 14, 2009
I really can't explain why it didn't occur to me to search for the rover in the image of Victoria crater released by the HiRISE team on Wednesday.
Emily Lakdawalla • August 12, 2009
Today the HiRISE team released a lovely new view of Victoria crater, taken nearly a year after the Opportunity rover departed it.
Ryan Anderson • March 20, 2009
Today we visited Grand Falls and the nearby dune field. Grand Falls is especially interesting because it combines many of the processes that are active in shaping planetary surfaces.
Become a member of The Planetary Society and together we will create the future of space exploration.

The $7 million Yarrabah Jetty Project is a Queensland Government funded infrastructure initiative. When complete, the scope of works will include a land based jetty shelter with toilet facilities including disabled toilets.
Gribble Point, Yarrabah.
Within 12 months of award of tender.
The jetty will provide the Yarrabah community with the opportunity for tourism and commuter services to be developed to and from Cairns. Yarrabah is Queensland's largest Indigenous community with an official population of 2,686 at the 2016 census.
$7 million.
Land based construction associated with the jetty project began late December 2017.
These land based works will include a shelter, toilet facilities, pavement, concrete kerbing, footpaths, a pedestrian ramp and street lighting (solar).
The project location in the vicinity of the town's current boat ramp is the most suitable option and will provide the best access to deep water.
A full environmental impact study has found that this location has minimal environmental impact on the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.
When completed the jetty will become an asset of the Yarrabah Aboriginal Shire Council.
A Marine Parks permit is being sought by the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) on behalf of Yarrabah Aboriginal Shire Council (YASC). The permit is for the construction and ongoing operation and maintenance of a single piled concrete jetty adjacent to the boat ramp on the south side of Gribble Point, Yarrabah.
YASC will be the ultimate Permit holders and owners of the jetty and associated land based infrastructure. YASC is the responsible local government body for the proposed location of the Yarrabah Jetty and associated infrastructure.
The proposal consists of a single piled concrete jetty adjacent to the boat ramp on the south side of Gribble Point, Yarrabah. No dredging is proposed nor is spoil disposal required in the Marine Park.
Please note: TMR has applied for environmental approvals for the full extent of works outlined to support the present and future marine infrastructure needs of the Mission Bay area. However, the extent of works constructed as part of this project will be subject to construction tendered rates and what can be delivered within the available budget.
For up-to-date information on traffic conditions across Queensland, visit QLDTraffic or phone 13 19 40.

When to get paid?
When to get paid?
04/05/2015 21:36 - How Much Should I Charge or Pay
Hi. I´m just wondering what is the norm when getting paid for minding. Is it to be paid weekly on the last day or at the beginning of the week? Or is it monthly. Have been asked to mind a little one and the mum wants to pay me at end of each month. Would just be interested in what you girls think? Thanks a mil. Ro.
re... : When to get paid?
20/05/2015 10:32 - How Much Should I Charge or Pay
Youv made right decision..would any other service provider work all month n then chance payment, only in childminding land..I think it´s v cheeky even to ask...
re... : When to get paid?
06/05/2015 09:23 - How Much Should I Charge or Pay
i would go weekly if i was you be on the safe side.
re... : When to get paid?
14/06/2015 08:20 - How Much Should I Charge or Pay
true she or he doesn´t request a month in advance but you pay your hairdresser etc there n then..if u didn´t pay you won´t be getting your hair cut again there...same as a restaurant etc...can u name any service or self employed person that you work 5 days a week for a full month at a low rate per hour in advance in a new job awaiting a cash payment with the common risk of not getting paid..
Does my car salesman let me buy a car, drive around a month n then pay...
Yes I referred to "childminding land" previously as this is what the childminding market is like...it´s a separate world of no legal standing where open abuse is happening, I´m no longer shocked really at what I read or hear after 5yrs childminding coming from my professional career with my wages in my bank every two weeks...my payslip on my desk that morning, if an issue a quick phonecall to the dept...who does the childminder ring...the childminder is often the last to be paid if other unexpected bills that week...Iv had it myself and don´t mind if parent says I simply can´t pay u till children allowance day etc but at this stage we´d know each other very well...as I said it v cheeky of this mum looking for new cmer n as op said something not quiet right..when I´m contacted by new parent I´m interviewing them as much if not more as they interviewing me..
re... : When to get paid?
05/05/2015 10:59 - How Much Should I Charge or Pay
I get paid last day of the week worked..if mum wants pay monthly pay in advance..it´s too easy to work full month n then no pay, i wouldn´t even risk it..Iv meet a cm recently who gets paid in advance, she has over the weekly rate calculated so if late etc she has it, she refunds her days off n excess etc..even if uv contact it´s not worth the paper it´s wrote on I just do it so no misunderstandings...
re... : When to get paid?
13/06/2015 21:00 - How Much Should I Charge or Pay
On the other side of your point would you pay your hairdresser the week before she did your hair? Suggesting that you should pay your employee before the work is done is bonkers I would be shown the door in my job if I suggested this.
re... : When to get paid?
13/06/2015 08:39 - How Much Should I Charge or Pay
I cannot get over the cynicism from the people who replied most people get paid monthly now. We all have to wait till the end of the month for our wages to be paid, obviously the mom could not pay you till she got paid. Some people so quick to judge?
re... : When to get paid?
13/06/2015 12:12 - How Much Should I Charge or Pay
Yes, kathy o, that´s fine if youv a job with a contact and so should anything go wrong either side, everyone is protected legally...
However even a registered cmer as opposed to Irelands black market cmers can fall foul to not being paid..even with a contact, what do you do...sue the parents lol..so a weekly hit is the best protection as a monthly hit would be a killer for any small business as tax, insurance etc still has to be paid...
Would any parent ask their hairdresser etc to work all day for often low rate per hour five days a week for full month n run risk off not being paid...the parent wouldn´t even ask for a hair appointment to pay at end of month...theyd be mortified
Creches charge a large deposit n hold it till end of contract and it´s pay monthly in advance for all 52 weeks year....many registered cmers now working all direct debit or will insist on dd if ongoing payment isissues, charge a deposit and alot are charging in advance...
Iv yet to get stung thankfully but hopefully have procedures in place that if it did it´s not that crippling but it´s the amount of work I´d have done for free that would kill me.....
re... : When to get paid?
19/05/2015 18:20 - How Much Should I Charge or Pay
Thanks for the advise girls. I decided not to go ahead. Still insisting paying me at end of month- something just didn´t feel right! Thanks again.
Have had someone else looking for me to mind 2 so hopefully may do better with them instead:)
re : When to get paid?
05/05/2015 09:46 - How Much Should I Charge or Pay
Hi......Personally i get paid weekly usually on the last day of the week. This is the way i prefer to be paid and i tell all parents when they are starting. Creches are paid monthly but i hear they have to be paid a month in advance. That is the only way i would agree to be paid if a parent was adamant about paying monthly.
re... : When to get paid?
14/06/2015 12:56 - How Much Should I Charge or Pay
a few childminders i know who got paid at the end of the month got stung a few times.it might work well for some but for others it dosent.a friend of mine got paid at the end of the month everything went well for a few months.then the trouble started with the parents saying they dident get paid the bank has messed up or ive lost my kbc card.but she said their facebook told a different story.their posts would come up on her facebook with photos of newly done nails hairstyles kids new clothes or a day out at tayto park.thats just messing childminders about .i get paid by the week and i have problems getting paid with the parents saying we forgot to get your wages or i left my card at work.then you have to start chasing them for it.

Report on the Regional NGO-Consultation meeting "Beyond 2008"
for Western Europe, Budapest, Hungary, 24-25 Jan. 2008.

This report is meant for ENCOD and for SDB, Stichting Drugsbeleid, the Netherlands Drug Policy Foundation, and for other interested people. But first of all I am going to mail this to my American and Canadian friends who will be attending the "Beyond 2008" Regional NGO-Consultation that will take place in Vancouver on 4 and 5 February 2008.
To find out what is going on at UNODC and the CND in the coming period, you should visit these websites:

As for the material that is being used at the meetings itself, a week before the meeting I received a 22-page report from Beyond 2008, named Introduction and Consultation Material.
The organization of the consultation was around three "Objectives", of which the first two would be discussed on the morning and afternoon of day one and the third on the morning of day 2, and that was it.
Page 4: Objective 1: NGO achievement. We had to relate what we as NGO's had done "in the field of drug control".
Objective 2: Improved Collaborative Mechanisms.
Objective 3: High-Order Principles.
Reading this I was shocked and angry, until I came to page 17, Questions 1 – 5. Everything before that seemed useless and a loss of time. But here it suddenly became highly interesting and even revolutionary, seen in the context of the UN drugs bureau. I then became worried that it wouldn't be possible at the meeting to spend enough time and effort at these last few pages
All of this had to be discussed and abstracted in one and a half day in total, and the only interesting part was on the last half-day.
Shortly after the start of the first session I raised my finger and said that I wanted to discuss the agenda. That was OK. I said that the first two objectives which comprised most of the written material were only interesting for bureaucrats and probably for the NGO-committee itself, because of course it is not easy to collect and represent the views of a large and disparate number of NGO's. These first two objectives are obviously meant to improve the quality of the consultation process itself. But as to the content of the meeting, preparation for the CND-review in the period between CND 08 and 09, only the five questions under Objective Three are relevant. For that reason I proposed to move the discussion of Objective 3 forward on the agenda. This was not accepted. The proposed agenda was the same in the nine Regional Consultations taking place these months around the globe, and the organizers assured me that things had gone well in those places where the consultations had already taken place and that there would be enough time to discuss the issues that I was concerned about.
At the moment of writing this report, after completion of the whole meeting, I must say they were right, but it was not easy to work through the whole agenda, especially on the morning of the second day, when Objective 3 was discussed. More about my afterthoughts at the end of this report.
The discussions on the three objectives followed this scheme: a 20 minute introduction by one of the organizers, a 70 minute discussion in three groups of about 12 participants, and finally a plenary discussion of 50 min. to report back and wrap the item up. It must be said that this scheme was applied flexibly, so that there were no complaints from any of the participants about not having enough time to speak. On the other hand, the discussions on many of the topics remained rather superficial, which was not necessarily a deficiency because the point was to collect the input of the organizations, not to come to conclusions. It was pointed out to us from the beginning that this whole exercise was a preliminary to the global NGO Consultation meeting which will take place in July in Vienna.
I'll give (a selection of) my impressions on the discussions about the three objectives, combining what was said in my subgroup with the reports from the other two groups.
Objective 1: "NGO achievements". Many and very varied remarks were made about the situations, difficulties and achievements in the countries from which representatives were present. Funding was, of course, often named as minimal. Waiting lists for treatment. Drug users have restricted access to health care. The organization for a Drug-free Sweden accepts no funding from the government, whereas some of the other organizations are largely dependent on that kind of funds. Some NGOs said that their position enabled them to start projects that treatment organizations would not do. The difference between treatment and advocacy work was stressed, and the specific input of (problematic) drug users accentuated.
Objective 2: "Improved collaborative mechanisms". In Portugal the government calls on selected NGOs with requests on specific topics, but not on those issues that are most important to these organizations. Per Johansson of Drug-free Sweden said that after initial resistance his group stands very strong now in public opinion. Louise Persson of the Swedish Drug User Association said that on the national level her organization is not heard, but in a number of regions they have good contacts. In many countries, NGOs are competing with each other for funding. Scottish NGOs prefer informal contacts. Very few have any contact with UNODC.
A discussion followed on the definition of NGO, and of inclusion or exclusion of organizations. The Vienna NGO Committee people had already informed us they had not yet refused an organization, but of course, there are limits to who they can admit.
In the plenary, totally contradictory points of view were brought up on this subject. Some people found that anyone who wants to speak out on the drug issue must be heard. Someone said that even the pharmaceutical industry should be included, if they wished. Some people only wanted to include non-profit organizations. Personally, I pleaded for the exclusion of organizations that have a financial interest in this issue (as pharmaceutical companies have) and I also suggested the exclusion of treatment institutions, on the ground that they have an interest in the prolongation of drug prohibition, as this increases their target group and their political importance. This found very little support. Someone even said that treatment institutions are in the best position to represent both the general population and the scientific world.
The organizers said this issue seems insolvable. Every rule or criterion that is chosen will create new difficulties for the admission of certain groups or organizations. So this matter was left to rest – which does not mean that it needn't be resolved.
The question was raised how all these remarks and comments were to be relayed to CND. The organizers said this was certainly not going to be easy, because up to 300 NGOs are expected to come to the final global NGO Consultation meeting in Vienna in July, so the plan is to study the results of the series of meetings and make an honest effort to distill the important trends and opinions.
Objective 3: In his introduction, Mike Trace, member of the Vienna NGO Committee sketched the organization of UNODC, CND, and INCB and their position within the wider UN organization. UNODC is a relatively small bureau that has to work with much larger organizations such as WHO, UNAIDS, the Human Rights bureau, etc., but its functioning is often not consistent with or even contrary to the accepted principles of these other UN pillars, most importantly on human rights.
"A drug free world" was indeed the slogan in 98, but was not mentioned in the official publications. Thanasis Apostolou (Andreas Papandreou Foundation, Greece) said one of the official objectives is "elimination or significant reduction of". Trace continued: the enthusiasm with which countries apply prohibition is much varied, even within countries, the so-called postcode lottery.
He gave the following important dates: 10 March 08: discussion of the "assessment" in CND. No decisions. The "counter-report" commissioned by the EU is expected to be published later, possibly two months later. In March 09 there will be a two-day political meeting and only after that meeting the decisions will be made about the policies for the following period. The "product" of the NGO consultation must consist of short, clear statements and "high-order principles" for the politicians.
The formulation of these "High-Order Principles", the theme of the last session was delayed to the final plenary. We first devoted ourselves in the subgroups to the Conventions, and their intended and unintended consequences.
In my subgroup, the debate was heated. Only the drug-free Swede was positive about the conventions, and critical about the soft way they are implemented in other countries. I said that he believes that, what he sees as a satisfactory situation, is a consequence of the repressive Swedish policy, but that in the last 10 to 15 years a number of studies, and also the publications of EMCDDA, have shown that there is no causal link between the intensity of repression and the level of drug use and dependence. Politicians like to believe there is, but there simply is no proof of a causal link. The representative of the Swedish drug users said the situation in Sweden is worse than her compatriot wanted us to believe. Portugal is rather content with the changes in its drug policy which were made a few years ago, so that drug use is no longer a felony, and the overriding approach is medical. All the other representatives were negative about the drug conventions and the situation in their countries. Apostolou said the conventions are twenty years old and do not deliver what they are intended to do.
In the conference paper, the unintended consequences were mentioned as either positive or negative, but only negative ones were reported.
In the final plenary, Trace said that there was a disparity between the conventions and the actual situation in many countries. Whereas the conventions became stricter, many countries became more relaxed. This is one of the reasons why new objectives for international drug policy should be formulated, in the form of "High-Order Principles". In the discussion, one recurring theme was whether Human Rights should be one of these principles or even the overriding one. There was much support for this, but it was argued that there is no officially recognized right to use drugs.
Peter Sarosi (Hungarian Civil Rights Union) said there is no consensus, but anyway it is a human rights issue, and if you want to restrict drug use, you must have strong arguments.
Grazia Zuffa (Fuoriluogo, Italy) said that using alcohol is not seen as a human right either, and that there should not be a different approach for drugs. I added that the prohibition of a selection of drugs without good reasons is discrimination of the users of those substances.
Artur Radosz (Polish DPF) proposed a new Harm Reduction convention, but most of the others prefer less conventions over more.
A number of suggestions were made for the Principles:
The Right to Health was accepted by all, and there was more or less support for:
Flexibility and pluralism,
Personal Freedom, coupled with protection of minors and vulnerable people,
Meaningful participation of NGOs in CND.
It remained controversial whether Right to Wellbeing should be included, or Quality of Life.
As to the drug conventions, there was consensus that on human rights they must at least be consistent with other UN organizations. And the obvious and huge negative consequences of drug prohibition must be acknowledged.
There should be greater flexibility in the conventions. As it is, only harsher sanctions are allowed than in the conventions, but countries should also be allowed to introduce more lenient approaches. Andria Efthimiou-Mordaunt (UK) stressed that any new formulations must not further vilify drug users.
Willem Scholten (WHO) suggested this formulation:
1. The Right to Health is the overarching principle for controlling drugs and therefore drug control should strive for the optimal balance between availability of medicines for medical use and the prevention of harm in non-medical use.
2. WHO must be the leading agency in medical and scientific matters.
To conclude the meeting, Bob Keizer (independent expert from the Netherlands) pointed out the structural lack of evaluation or assessment in UNODC and in the member countries. Also he noted a lack of information on policy issues and developments in the members of NGOs. To the issue of human and social rights, he added that children must live in a safe environment.
The program was not ended, however.
On the afternoon of the second day, there was an informal meeting organized by IDPC, International Drug Policy Consortium "to update interested NGOs on IDPC's advocacy plans around the UNGASS review process."
Mike Trace chaired this meeting in his capacity of IDPC director. He gave a detailed overview of the situation. IDPC will release two reports in the coming weeks, one on human rights, and the other on INCB. He indicated that the content of these reports will be very interesting, even shocking. It is possible that a screen documentary will be finished in time on "why we spend so much money on such terrible objectives". He predicted that France will be a growing problem in the EU under the presidency of Sarkozy. Slovenia, actual president of the EU, already asked French officials to help them write texts. Sarkozy's plan is to bring the old hard line back in EU drug policy. Trace said this will probably be impossible in the half year period of the French presidency, because the EU has adopted clear positions in the last year and a half, during which the position of the EU on drug policy was quite stable. But Sarkozy will certainly try to change that. A new Berlusconi government will join Sarkozy in this (but it is unlikely that this government will be in place before this year's CND.)
IDPC will organize meetings in the margin of the CND in March 08, around the IHRA conference in Barcelona in May, and in Vienna in July.
In the references of the Introduction and Consultation Material, you may be as surprised as I am about the many well-known critics of the international drug control system that are mentioned: from the authors of "The Gentlemen's Club" to Martin Jelsma and Pien Metaal.
(So at least they know in Vienna this literature exists, I thought, still under the impression that this material had been written by Costa's staff. Only later I understood that the text was written by the Vienna NGO-Committee itself, with peer review for a few of the more sensitive parts.)
This does not mean, however, that the criticisms contained in these texts were also apparent in the material for the meeting. I was amazed about the nature of the quotations. Most striking was this in the selected quotations of Martin Jelsma, of TNI, Transnational Institute. He is the (co-)author of a series of highly critical articles and reports on the activities and publications of UNODC and CND. The quotations that were selected for the "Beyond 2008" text however could have been taken from numerous totally uncontroversial publications. Nothing was included of the relevant criticisms that Jelsma made and published in the years since 1998. I find this puzzling, not to use stonger terms. At best it seems to say: we are aware that this author is an important scholar in the field, but we are not going to distribute his criticisms. If you really want to know his opinions, you'll have to read the publications itself, these quotes are only meant to show that we know his work.
At first, I was too suspicious, because I identified the Vienna NGO Committee too much with UNODC. Even if it is true that some, or many NGOs have a vested interest in the existing situation, most of the people working in these organizations see quite clearly that the interests of drug users are systematically harmed by drug prohibition. That does not mean that they also see that prohibition is harmful to society as a whole, but my impression is that they honestly try to convey the views of the attending NGOs to the CND. This does not mean, of course, that every remark that I included in this report will also be in the final document.
My advice to the representatives of the American and Canadian NGOs at the Vancouver meeting starting on 4 Feb. is to be patient during the first day, during which very little of substance will be discussed. Of course you can openly say that this is a waste of time, and try to change the agenda, but I failed and you probably will also fail. So it seems better to understand that the real work must be done on the morning of the second day, and use the first day more to listen to the others, see who may be supportive for drug law reform and who not, and save your energy for the discussions on the third objective.Republish

According to a recent study that we conducted, accountancy firms currently waste over £1.2 billion a year on research that does not produce any effective business insights, and 45 million man hours are spent each year on sourcing data that is ineffective. Worse still,seven out of ten accountants surveyed (70%) feel that the time spent researching is wasted and the results found are unreliable.
Sourcing effective research is important, as it not only affects a firm's ability to attract new clients, but also dictates how well it can retain its existing ones. Effective market research is therefore essential to an accountancy firm's growth and expansion into new markets. Outdated strategies, supplemented by an over saturated marketing approach, will likely cause firms to fall behind their competition and miss out on potential business opportunities.
So how can accountancy firms produce effective market research?
The results of our survey highlight an underlying problem that not only plagues accountancy firms, but all businesses. With the rise of the internet in the 21st century, market research has been radically transformed. Businesses no longer need to invest time in simply finding data, but instead must sift through a mountain of information to find the precious insights within.
As a result, accountancy firms must move away from research that simply sources any and all information that may or may not be relevant to the business. Firms must realise that a wholesale 'data dump'is likely to bury any potentially meaningful insights related to the marketplace, clients or competitors.
As such, any research that firms undertake must move towards prioritising specific business insights. Rather than casting a wide net and dragging back everything that is trapped within, firms need focus on precision.
The latest technology has created an environment whereby it is very easy to drown in the sheer amount of raw data available. However, technology can also help to create and improve tools to that accountancy firms need to filter the gold from the mud.
Online market research has become the accepted standard for firms all across the world, yet many firms know that conducting this research in-house won't produce the best results. This hasfuelled the rise of companies that focus exclusively on producing key business insights in a quick, objective and accurate manner.
Enlightened firms are already moving towards this specialised, problem solving-centric model. These firms know that effective research starts with identifying their particular challenges, followed by the ability to obtain the business insights they need to solve them. With billions of pounds and millions of man-hours lost on unproductive research, it's no surprise that the use of these services is becoming more and more popular amongst firms.
After all, accountancy firms will only realise the full potential of market research when they begin to use it as an enabler to solve these issues.
However, in order to achieve this goal, firms will need to move their research methods away from sourcing ineffective data and focus on business insights provided by data filtering and analysis instead.
Many firms have already commissioned these insights externally, using services specifically designed to find these trends.This approach offers a strong alternative to inefficient research practices of the past. Independent research firms can help firms to save both time and money that would otherwise be spent on organising this activity in-house; this new approach to market research will not only improve employee productivity, but will also support greater staff wellbeing, since accountants will be able to trust the business insights they receive, rather than drowning in useless and unreliable data.

North Port, FLHome Home Menu
Real time lightning warnings for the Mullen Center and surrounding area
The City of North Port has installed a lightning warning system the George Mullen Activity Center to alert residents using the facilities and surrounding areas.
When a lightning strike is detected within a 10-mile area the system will activate a 15 second long horn accompanied by a flashing strobe light attached to the unit. The strobe light will continue to flash it's warning until we experience 30 minutes without lightning within those 10 miles. At that time the system will sound three short horn blasts and the strobe will stop flashing to signify an all clear status.
You can check this panel for up to date notification on active alerts and the anticipated time until the all clear conditions are expected to be met.
If the alarm is activated, you should seek shelter in a building or a closed vehicle immediately. Please do not return to outside activity until the all clear has been signaled.
A golf cart or pavilion are not considered to be a safe locations to avoid the risk of a lightning strike.

Joining a growing number of 1980s films that have had their wishes granted to be reborn as awkward, gangly TV shows, a remake of 1988's Big is currently in the works. Deadline reports that Enlisted producers Kevin Biegel and Mike Royce are developing the update of Big for Fox—possibly as a pitch made out of spite for the cancellation of their wholly original cult comedy, which the network actually approved.
As with Problem Child and Real Genius and so many more before it, the television Big will only be "loosely based" on Penny Marshall's film, in which Tom Hanks plays a stunted man-child who become a successful toy executive before Elizabeth Perkins statutory rapes him. It's unclear which, if any, of those elements will make it into the show, as the description only says it will "explore what it means to be an adult, what it means to be a kid, and how in today's world those two things are more confused than ever"—a notion that is particularly true when it comes to developing movies and TV shows.
