What Is The Point Of A Digital Marketing Strategy?
By Lyle Laaks In Digital Strategy, What Is Digital Marketing On July 27, 2017
Your Digital Marketing Strategy: A road map to success or a waste of money?
What is someone in the world doing every 1.2 seconds?
Our friends at Google tell us that over the past 12 months over 673 000 searches have been done for the word "marketing".
That's a lot of traffic.
Every 1.2 seconds someone in the world wants to know more about how to promote a business.
However – and here's the fascinating part – only 110 000 people searched for the term "digital marketing strategy".
Hmm… Why do you think that is?
Well – and we're just guessing here – we reckon it's because people generally don't know that they need a digital marketing strategy.
In this series we'll be unpacking marketing strategies and we'll find out what they are, why we need them, and how they work.
If you were to get in your car and drive to a little town called Alice, what would you do first? My money is on you grabbing a map or programming a GPS of some sort.
Because if you don't have a map then you don't know how to get to where you are going.
And that right there is why you need a digital marketing strategy.
A good digital marketing strategy sweeps away all the debris and clarifies the critical information that you need to make your marketing efforts work. It's a plan of action that will get you to where you want to be.
So what does it look like?
While different businesses will need different things, the basics remain the same.
Can you answer the following questions?
• Who is my target audience? What does a good sales lead look like?
• Where can I find them?
• What questions are they asking? What are their pain points?
• What content do I need to create to speak effectively to them?
• How can I best get this information in front of them?
As much as I hate to admit it, there are no shortcuts.
If you don't do your homework on the basics – certainly the first three points – then your GPS will be broken. You will create content and send it out to people who don't give a hoot. Alternatively, you may have your target firmly in your sights but never loose your arrow. They never get to see what you have created because it hasn't been delivered to them.
So for those small business owners who have been active on social media, blogging until midnight by the light of a flickering candle or have spent their son's university fees on "SEO best practices" – and who still don't see results, now you know why.
A strong and clear digital marketing strategy means inbound leads – people who are coming to you to buy what you sell.
Yes, this is a lot of work, and this article is a little like telling a terminal patient to "feel better" and walking away.
But keep reading, we'll teach you exactly how to strategize like a ninja and get those leads flooding into your inbox.
Identify Your Best Customer
If you live in South Africa then, at some point, you will have had a stranger knock on your window at the traffic lights and offer you a flyer.
If you're anything like me, you say a polite "no thank you" and leave it at that. (Or you take the carefully designed flyer and glance at it – briefly – and bin it when you get home.) Monkey wrangling, a special offer on shoes, intimate massage, roof cleaning…you name it.
We can't give you the stats on the success rate of handing flyers out at traffic lights, mainly because there are none. But the point here is that the chances are good that you aren't interested in this promotion.
Perhaps you aren't the best customer for this marketing campaign?
This spray-and-pray approach to advertising and marketing is common, but it doesn't mean that it works.
So how do you find the best customer for your digital marketing strategy?
What does your best customer look like?
Ask yourself – who is my ideal audience? Write down everything you know about your best customers. Gender, age group, location, interests, industry… whatever you know to be true about your target audience.
For example, if you have a retail outlet and sell discounted clothing for babies, then you are likely looking for females between the ages of 20-30, living in a 10km radius of your shop. They will be interested in babies, clothing, children and parenting.
Where do your best customers live?
Once you have identified the people who are most likely to buy from you, you need to find out where they live. By that we mean, where are they online? The best place to start is with social media sites, blogs, and forums. Make as big a list as you can – you will be surprised at how useful it will turn out to be, and how many options it gives you.
On FaceBook search for groups and pages that speak to these people. FaceBook is great for B2C businesses like our baby clothing retailer. If your company sells to other businesses, then you may want to consider LinkedIn as an option.
What is the point of targeting your audience in such detail?
You will find that when you clearly identify the person most likely to buy from you – your best customer – you will start to see your business through their eyes. What language do they use to communicate? What are their pain points? What are their buying habits? This will allow you to create a digital marketing strategy that intercepts them, and show you what content or process will be most effective to gain their attention.
It's a fascinating process, and yes, it takes time.
But it is only the beginning. What do you do with all of this information?
Enter Content Marketing
According to Seth Godin, "Content Marketing is all the marketing that's left".
This is great news!
SME businesses in South Africa don't have big corporate budgets to spend on their digital marketing strategies. They don't have a suited marketing team with letters behind their name and unpronounceable titles.
What they do have is a genuine desire to succeed and the ability to tell their own story. They have the power to engage their customers, to connect with real people in an authentic way. To help. To make a difference.
Your content marketing strategy needs to get people talking about you. It needs to make people feel special, to teach them.
As interruptive advertising with its preposterous price tag lies twitching in the corner, story-telling is exploding onto our desktops, mobile phones, and tablets.
Begin today – tell your story.

Every 10 years, the federal government is required to count every person residing in the U.S. through a national census. The next census is in 2020 and postcards with instructions will be mailed to the public in March 2020.
The number of each states' congressional seats and Electoral College votes are determined every 10 years by census numbers.
The census also guides how $880 billion a year in federal funding is distributed for:
Also, demographic data derived from the census are used by businesses to determine where to build new supermarkets and by emergency responders after natural disasters to locate people. With all that is at stake, we must all stand up and be counted.
The Census will begin recording responses on April 1, 2020. For the first time, the Census Bureau will permit respondents to answer the survey online, by mail, or by phone.
Everyone! People of all ages, races, ethnicities, citizens, and noncitizens should be included in the survey count.
At Catholic Charities, we want to ensure that traditionally hard-to-count groups are included, such as:
Yes. Federal Law protects your information. Census responses are confidential and protected under Title 13 of the United States Code.
The Census Bureau will never share personal information with immigration or law enforcement agencies. Employees of the Census Bureau also swear a lifetime oath to protect respondent data.
It is against the law for any Census Bureau employee to disclose or publish any census or survey information that identifies an individual or business. This is true even for inter-agency communication; the FBI and other government entities do not have the legal right to access this information. As a result, the Census Bureau has one of the strongest confidentiality guarantees in the federal government.
For more information visit the Census Privacy and Confidentiality, or learn more about Title 13.
Catholic Charities is working to ensure that everyone stands up and is counted. Please help our efforts by pledging to take the census today.

I am running a successful informational website on one specific topic (branded domain name) in German language on a .de domain.
Now 2 years ago I started an international website on that topic with German, English, Russian in sub-folders. Also a branded domain name (another, shorter brand) on a .com domain. Focusing on a more specific sub topic of the topic.
Now I plan on working on the international website making it bigger, broader in topic, not focusing on the sub topic any longer.
What would you guys suggest?
a) redirect the German content of the .com to the already successful .de domain and just doing the other languages on .com?
b) redirecting the .de domain to the .com and let all languages benefit from each other in SEO power?
Of course either scenario would be equipped with hreflang. My first thoughts were b) with a lot of fear of losing rankings. Then I thought a) is probably the most clever solution. Any further ideas or thoughts? Thanks in advance for your brain power :-)

Grey Space Series
- 2018 – ongoing
Grey Space: 'A space between two mutually exclusive states or categories, where the border between the two is unclear. Something that is not clearly one thing or the other, that is open to interpretation.'
The Grey Space Series places importance on architectural process drawing rather than representing the subject itself. The lines of process/method (which often get eliminated from a final drawing) are etched into the board and defined using black ink and pins. The actual subject is removed allowing new forms to emerge.

The Merritt Centennials faced the West Kelowna Warriors for the second time in two nights. The Warriors won the opener, and on Saturday night in front of a healthy host of home fans, the Centennials couldn't convert on their chances and fell 5-1 to West Kelowna.
The first period was even through the first 5 minutes with both teams trading chances, but against the flow of play on a counter attack defender Bryon Moradshadi of the Warriors was able to streak down the wing and get a shot on the Cents Jake Berger who kicked it out and onto the stick of a streaking Jared Marino who put the puck into the net for the 1-0 lead.
The Warriors added a goal late, when a bobble by the Cents defense allowed Willie Reim to gather the puck in tight, and he made a nice move backhand-forehand to slip it through the 5-hole of Berger for the 2-0 lead, and that's how the 1st ended.
The West Kelowna Warriors used a 27-save performance by Nik Amundrud and a five-goal outburst for a 5-1 victory over the Merritt Centennials on Saturday night at the Nicola Valley Memorial Arena.
The Cents didn't start the second period as they drew it up in the dressing room, as the Warriors pounced twice within the first minute of play to make it 3-0. Tyler Jutting wired a shot past Berger's glove, and just 27 seconds later RJ Murphy received a cross ice pass and went five hole on Berger to make it 4-0.
The Warriors got their work done during the early goings of the period, and the score remained at 3-0 after 40 minutes of play. Halfway through the period there was a goaltending change. Berger allowed 4 goals on 26 shots, and his counterpart for the Warriors, Nik Amundrud, was perfect in his action stopping all 27 shots he faced. Berger gave way to Jon Holloway, and Amundrud left the net to Billy Girard for the remainder of the game.
In the 3rd, the Centennials came out with a bit more energy, but still surrendered the first goal of the period. Bennett Norlin managed to beat Holloway, blocker side, to put the Warriors up 5-0.
The Cents responded just a minute later when Blake Sidoni had a text book screen in front, and managed to deflect a Jackson Munro point shot up and over Girard for the lone tally for the Cents to make it 5-1. Shortly after, Sidoni made a move in tight that went off the crossbar and out, and was amongst the strongest Cents on the ice. Despite not finding the back of the net, Alex Bourhas was a bulldog on the ice always going after the puck with intent and pace. Holloway finished the game with 11 saves on 12 shots.
After the game, Head Coach and General Manager Joe Martin said that in a game like this it gives them a good read on who has a heartbeat out there against the odds.
"You're looking for guys when it's not going your way to somehow change the game in your favour... you have to show something. You're looking for guys like that, not guys that go out there and cave. The positive thing is, it helped us make some decisions."
The Cents are now 1-2-0-0 in the Preseason and will next face the Salmon Arm Silverbacks on Wednesday, August 30th for a rematch after topping them 7-4 in the first preseason match earlier this week.

Pepper the Robot
Pepper is a humanoid robot which has various social functions, including, for example, communicating with and assisting people or being deployed in the service sector. Pepper is used by inovex in research and development (e. g. in the inovex lab) and is constantly being programmed with custom functions for various purposes.
Pepper in the inovex Lab
For several years now, we have used interaction-oriented robots like Pepper (and Nao) which were developed by French robotics pioneers Aldebaran (now Softbank Robotics) and which are used primarily as guides and companions for humans. The inovex Lab is designed both to promote young researchers through providing internships and facilitating thesis and project work and to enable our experts to continue their education and research. inovex team member Silvia Santano has been working intensively with Pepper in this connection, and summarises the results in her blog article 'Affective Robots: Emotionally Intelligent Machines'.
As a partner of SoftBank Robotics, we are focusing on the further development of Pepper's communication-relevant capabilities, including interpreting human language and gestures. We are particularly interested in developing Pepper's emotion recognition capabilities and associated interactions. All programming carried out until now has been written in Python and implemented in Android using the new Qi SDK. Since the outset of our partnership with SoftBank Robotics, we have researched and developed new functions and capabilities for Pepper, including the integration of external AI services (including those from Google and Microsoft). In particular, we have carried out a large number of experiments involving computer vision and language recognition. We are currently developing navigation functions for Pepper using the new Android SDK.
Pepper at the ICSR Conference
We describe our work with Pepper in a scientific article which we published and presented at the ICSR (International Conference on Social Robotics) 2018 in New York. The paper was honoured with the Best Paper Award at this conference.
Pepper at Stuttgart's STELLWERK WEST
Pepper is currently appearing at STELLWERK WEST in the heart of Stuttgart. STELLWERK WEST is a location which can be booked by companies for meetings, workshops and corporate events. This modern complex, with its designer furniture and sophisticated technology, is the perfect location to showcase Pepper. Visitors attending events at STELLWERK WEST have the opportunity to get to know Pepper and to interact with him. Pepper is 'employed' there as a member of the service staff. He can introduce himself, provide visitors with the wifi password, give directions to the bathrooms and take selfies with visitors. Pepper also provides other insights into his personality: he is ticklish and can even tell jokes.
Pepper at Stuttgart's Gerber Shopping Centre
Pepper's appearance at Stuttgart's Gerber shopping centre in October 2017 was the result of a PhD research project carried out jointly by the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg and the Munich-based consulting firm elaboratum. The robot was used to discover ways in which humanoid robots could be deployed in brick-and-mortar retail locations and to analyse how customers react to these social robots: Would customers rather talk to a robot than a human? Do they talk differently to a robot than to another person, and if so, how? Visitors to the Gerber shopping centre were able to see for themselves how it felt to talk to – and even take selfies with – a robot. While the Uni Erlangen-Nürnberg and elaboratum were responsible for the concepts behind the versatile robot's capabilities, inovex programmed it.
Pepper at the Digital Leader Awards
The Digital Leader Awards recognises those corporate leaders and top executives who have been instrumental in shaping the Digital Transformation in their companies. Following introductory remarks by Dr. Christoph Tempich, inovex's Chief Data Economist, at this year's prize-giving ceremony on 29.06.2017 in Berlin, Pepper interacted with participants in one of the hotspots, most notably recognising their emotional status (facial expressions), rendering these graphically on a tablet and reproducing them with gestures.
Pepper at Girls'Day
At Girls'Day, girls learn about careers and courses of study in IT, manual trades, the natural sciences and technology; areas in which women have, until now, typically been underrepresented. inovex organises the Girls'Day every year at its Karlsruhe location, enabling girls to learn about a variety of exciting projects, including getting to know Pepper and his functions more closely and even giving him commands to perform.

For new releases go to
As we transition to our new site, you'll still find some Stats NZ information here on this archive site.
The number of new housing units authorised (excluding apartments) rose 10 percent in February 2010 when adjusted for seasonal effects, Statistics New Zealand said today. This follows a 1.0 percent increase in January 2010 and brings the number of housing units authorised to its highest level since May 2008.
When the volatile apartment category is included, the number of new housing units authorised rose 5.9 percent when adjusted for seasonal effects. "The trend for new housing units has been increasing since early 2009 but is showing signs of flattening in recent months," business statistics manager Louise Holmes-Oliver said. "However, the trend remains at a low level, and is almost a third lower than the recent peak in June 2007."
In February 2010, residential building consents were issued for:
For the year ended February 2010, the value of consents issued for residential buildings fell $471 million (8.2 percent), while the value for non-residential buildings fell $266 million (5.8 percent), compared with the year ended February 2009.

Is Your Child a Free Range Child? Were you one?
Years before she became a celebrated speaker, author Lenore Skenazy learned that I was writing about teaching safety, and actually wrote and called me, or maybe I called her…can't remember…. She was in a hot debate
As the World's Worst Mom for letting her son take the New York Subway alone.
Since then I have stayed in communication with her, not always agreeing but totally supportive of the outcome we both believe in, empowered healthy kids, who know how to take care of themselves, given basic safety guidance.
We both believe that it is the parents who have become afraid, and then affected their children with the same fears. It reminds me of the parents of students I had over the years
Who were not allowed to have pets, because they could bite or scratch them.
Things I worry about.
Children sitting in front of a screen, your pick, tv, iPad, computer, video game, etc.
Children not playing in a group, riding bikes, running around with squirt guns, and water balloons, and basically laying outside, until they are really tired.
How many of us played outside? How many obese kids did you know who played outside?
I went to camp for 3 months , a whopping three thousand miles from home, when I was 8,9, 10 and 11. There was some supervision you bet, but I was not under constant surveillance. I learned to swim, ride a horse, raise a calf, feed the cows, new games, adventure, learned to Bail hay, camped and sang around a campfire…made homemade peach ice cream…picked blue berries in the White Mountains…..the best summers of my life.
I was always hungry at supper time , always happily tired at night and skinny as a rail.
I never once felt unsafe or afraid.
Even at home, we always played till dark or until our Mom whistled.
So why am I telling you all this?
I wrote a book to teach children how to be alert to behaviors, what to do if faced with bad behavior and what I had hoped to gain is empowerment for parents as well as children.
I have not seen the study Lenore discusses, with Forty year low in kidnappings,
But safety is so much more than that. It is teaching kids common sense and resourcefulness.
Think about the girl and boyscouts. Don't they end up earning badges in being resourceful?
Knowing what to do when faced with situations, commonly called, life?
Yes, there will always be bad behavior with humans, from the playground to the grave.
But keeping a child locked up, or in a parade of careful scheduled activities is not the answer.
When you give my book, WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?, to a teacher, a new parent for a baby shower, to a friend, you are not just hoping to help their children become safe people, but the actual teaching of the kids then allows that parent to allow their child to become "Free Range."
If parents each felt they have helped to develop a child into an empowered
Human being, you will see more children, emerging from their air conditioned homes,
Asking each other to go and play!
Three Girls approached by Man in Turlock…….or maybe your town?
I was so pleased to read your article!
The children who were being accosted did exactly the right thing. They did not hesitate, they had a plan. Say No!
To the bad behavior, Go and Tell!
These are the very kids I was hired when they were in elementary school to teach safety. I retired from Hilmar Elementary school to teach safety assemblies after writing the first national circular and inclusive safety curriculum for children ages 5-13.
For years dubbed, the "Safety Lady" I would arrive to give assemblies to students in Stanislaus and Merced County Schools. When the monies for assemblies dried up, I went to a publisher with my quest to keep America's children safe. The first publisher leaped at this, and the book was published in 2010. It is available for every parent, teacher and school,
Teaching progressively 5-13 yrs olds to not be fooled by bad behavior when they are young, and to not fall into
The traps of the internet as they are growing……
A good safety plan is easy to remember, it is about BEHAVIORS
"No one is allowed to touch you where
Your bathing suit covers"
"No, Go and Tell!"
"Kick , scream, make a scene!"
" Never go to a second location!"
" Use the lighthouse walk!"
The attempted abduction in Hilmar in
1994, prompted this career, and now
I reap the benefit of hearing how three teens ran, and told.
I am very proud!
We cannot stop all bad behavior, but we can teach children to observe behavior and react quickly and stay safe.

author, safety blogger,

Okay, that new bike is great, and shiny and fun……
But don't forget about safety.
How to ride it safely, where to ride and with whom…….riding with a partner is always a good idea!
Watch for cars, pedestrians, download rules of the road for bikes and discuss.
You cannot take a child, attached gumby- style, to a bike and screaming for all they are worth, put them in a car….there is a story in my book about this also..
see lovely illustration from my book, above.
In my book page 81, I tell the story of The girl who was too much trouble!
It is Mickenzie's Story,
She and her brother were coming home from piano lessons, riding their bikes down a dirt road.
They stopped to look at the grazing horses. They moved their bikes over for the oncoming truck, but it pulled over and stopped. The man chatted with the kids and talked about the horses. Soon he asked for their help, looking for his dog, told the kids he knew their parents and was sure it would be ok with them…if he could just put their bikes in his truck…….maybe he had a picture of the dog in his truck he said as he began opening the doors…..
Mickenzie's had heard about tricks, at home and at a school assembly, watching, listening, and this felt bad,
( in my book I get children to tune into their natural intuition when it comes to behavior, if it feels bad, it is bad, get away)
Mickenzie's knew there were people at the end of the lane and instructed her brother, loudly, to ride, go to them, get help, ….as the man abruptly picked her up, and tried to force her into his truck. With her foot she slammed the first door shut….he successfully pushed her through another door, started the truck, and attempted to drive. Mickenzie's was having none of this, hitting/kicking at him she told him in no uncertain terms he was NOT taking her anywhere. Unable to drive, the man stopped the truck,
Told her to get out she would have to climb over him……(ugh!) she does this, jumps down and runs in the same direction her brother had gone, and sees him returning with the friends down the lane.
Victory. The man in this attempted abduction, was caught less than 24 hrs later, identified, and this brave girl, later the following month, sat on the witness stand, told her story, and put him behind bars.
She's a wonderful young woman, a college student now……her parents wrote one of the forewords for my book…..she even takes time for Internet scrabble with me just to stay in touch😊
I use this story to talk about riding in pairs, about how you can use a bike to get away, about
And how to use the plan ( outlined in the book) to say no to any bad behavior, and to go, and tell their safe adults. That they have the power to save themselves if they ever need it.
It is a simple, easy to use plan that covers many situational safety problems as children grow.
Every child will run into their own problems..but they should each have a similar plan,
No, Go and Tell.

Cars, Car Seats, and Parking Lots
I had a wonderful letter recently from a lawyer in Utah. His firm is putting together a coloring book to teach cars seat safety. How wonderful for this nice group of people to take the time , talent and treasure, to reach out and make a difference.
I hope everyone I know uses the right size carseat. I know as each of my grandchildren has reached their next weight milestone my cars seats have been converted. The expense is not much compared to their safety, and comfort!
Casi, one of my favorite blogging buddies often talks about talking to her child in the car. It is, a quiet one on one place, to point out neighborhood landmarks, that will help them be safer bikers and walkers as they grow up. It is also a place to talk quietly to a child when you would like them to think for a while. I often used the time for a "Teachable moment."
Another friend told me that her grandson , living in a new town is given a map in his carseat,
With the route drawn on it so he can "help" Mommy get to where they are going. He has learned the name of the routed streets, go left here, right here……he is four mind you, a great technique I think. It also is a wonderful way for a child to start to think outside his/her little box. These skills will be useful all of his life.
When exiting the car, safety comes back into play. Be careful, hold hands……a parking lot has backing cars, show a child how the back lights and tires show them a car is backing up. Also explain about the mirrors of the cars. They help drivers see, but there are blind spots. A driver in an older SUV might not see a child because of height behind a car! Tell them that it is up to them to be watching just as their Moms and Dads are doing. Being alert, is definitely a theme for me as you know…this is just one more area of life that can be thought about, a parenting plan put into place, and acted upon.
We didn't have much car safety as kids, we rode in the back of a station wagon. I am glad we were not all killed in a freeway pileup! Car safety is important. Thousands of children are killed yearly, because they were not belted or in a carseat. make sure your kids are the safe ones.
I am glad that i was asked to look over this new coloring book, and offer input, further,
I'm pleased that wonderful people are making coloring books, thinking about child and car safety,
It is nice to hear and I wish them success in helping to make our children safer.
Happy Sunday
And Happy Thanksgiving!

How will AC Milan spend their summer?
Background photo: CR Gutman. CC BY 4.0.
AC Milan has already begun the much-anticipated structural revamp. Rossoneri legends Paolo Maldini and Zvonimir Boban return as Technical Director and Chief Football Officer respectively. More should follow, particularly in the vacant San Siro dugout.
Milan experienced an indifferent 2018/19. Supporters didn't know what to expect. While their home was no longer a fortress, despair awaited on their travels. It was a relative lack of progress for the Chinese investors who provided substantial funds.
Gennaro Gattuso's sixth-placed finish in the campaign before was respectable. The maverick boss inherited a heterogeneous, expensively assembled squad from Vicenzo Montella. He also provided the missing motivation, grit and tactical flexibility. As well as a return to Europe, he reached the Coppa Italia final.
Without the luxury of his predecessor, the Corigliano Calabro native had to make do with almost the same squad. Milan's red-clad half lavished around £210million the previous summer. One quarter was made available to Gattuso to shop. His best buys were freebies: Tiemoué Bakayoko and Gonzalo Higuain.
Still, the Champions League was paramount. Gattuso knew anything short was an underachievement. The Red and Black craved a return to Europe's elite competition after six seasons. The Rossoneri, however, scored 68 points. Although their highest points-tally since 2012/13, it was insufficient as they finished 5th.
Gattuso's negative approach came to the fore. He was never really welcomed and didn't quite suit the club even as an alumnus. His team were boring to watch. Bereft of fluidity and creativity, no pressure on the ball, no momentum was being carried forward. Krzysztof Piatek did sharpen the blade in attack - but not sufficient enough to slice into Europe.
Reporter: Gattuso played good football?
Giampaolo: No, he dreamed as well. https://t.co/XIo04QAERe
Gattuso's pragmatic approach was effective at times but counter-productive in too many instances. It was no surprise the manager walked away. Leonardo waited at the exit door. Sampdoria's Marco Giampaolo is being tipped to succeed Gattuso. It could ultimately prove to be a shrewd decision.
Milan would be the Swiss manager's 10th job in Italy. The 51-year-old journeyman is not an overnight sensation. He started as a head coach at Ascoli in 2004 after three spells as an assistant. His name is still not widely known outside of the Bel Paese, though. It was when he joined Empoli in 2015 that he began to make an impression.
Giampaolo favours a 4-3-1-2 shape with the midfield creating a diamond when in possession. There is a large amount of flexibility in the attacking phase. The wide midfielders in the three move out effectively to form triangles with the fullback and the forward on that side of the field. A relatively high proportion of goals for Sampdoria comes from these combinations that lead to penetration into the penalty area and simple finishes.
Without qualification to Europe's top competition, there is a negative balance of around 70-80 million for Milan. To recover, certain market sacrifices are necessary. Two options for the club is lower the salaries by releasing players whose contracts with the club expire. The other is to sell a big player, Suso, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Alessio Romagnoli are the club's biggest assets.
There may not be any need. Ricardo Montolivo, Ignazio Abate, Cristian Zapata, Andrea Bertolacci and Jose Mauri have all departed the club as free agents. This creates a huge vacuum, especially in central midfield, worsened by Bakayoko's exit.
Arsenal's Lucas Torreira is a reported midfield target. The Urugyuan is rumoured to be frustrated in England and former boss Giampaolo wants to offer a return to Italy. Torino centre-back Kevin Bonifazi and Liverpool's Dejan Lovren are other potential options for the Serie A giants to explore.
Simply put, money will have to be spent if Milan is to get themselves back amongst the European big-time...

Machine loveJoin Our Community Subscribe to Paul's Posts
I have loved quite a number of machines in my day: my Austin Healey 3000 (which I wrote about in my book), my Audio Research SP3 preamplifier, my Gaglia espresso machine, my IRS V speakers, my 8×10 view camera, my DirectStream DAC, my P20 Power Plants.
We're all fond of physical things to some degree, but I suspect there's always a few we'd reserve for the emotion called love: perhaps a wedding ring, childhood toy, or treasured book.
When I was very young I had a coveted stick (and it was a damned good stick!).
The physical objects we fall for can be as fickle as the humans and pets we would normally categorize as lovable. How many times have I fell head over heels in love with one piece of gear only to ban it from my life a few years later?
While it may sound strange to ascribe love to an inanimate object, I find it actually freeing to write about it—to shout out my affection for a few of life's treasures.
Have you given yourself permission to love the machines in your life?

I just read the Forward of American Schools: The Art of Creating a Democratic Learning Community, by Sam Chaltain. It is written by the United States first female Supreme Court Justice, Sandra Day O'Connor. I haven't gotten any further in the book yet. It was a very interesting read.
I guess what I got out of it is what people always point out. High schoolers that do not know certain information about our government and other items we feel students should know. It also pointed out that high school teachers are failing our students. Alright, for me I am off the hook! I teach grade 5 – 8.
HOLD ON NOW!!! Is it really just the "fault" of high school teachers? What about all the other teachers those students had. How about (which the former justice states) ". . .in recent years schools have narrowed their curricula to try and reach the ambitious math and reading standards established by the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001." (Chaltain, 2010)
So who really is at fault here? Are teachers to blame for certain things that are being taught, or not taught, in schools?
As a teacher, we are the ones that hear about all the troubles in education. Why is that? We can be found. You can walk into just about any town in the country and find a school. You can walk in and complain to them about their failures. It is not that easy to do to our legislature.
I guess I just found this interesting. I'm going to start reading this book and share my thoughts. I do teach math, but social studies is a close second in my heart.
After I gather a few more thoughts on the forward, I'll share more. Hence the title. . . ."More coming!!!!"

|Luke Steele of Empire of the Sun performing at the Vivid Festival at Sydney Opera House in May 2013
|Background information
|Sydney, Australia
|Years active
|Associated acts
Empire of the Sun is an Australian electronic music duo from Sydney, formed in 2007.[6] The band is a collaboration between Luke Steele of alternative rock act The Sleepy Jackson, and Nick Littlemore of electronic dance outfit Pnau.[7][8] Their 2008 debut album Walking on a Dream brought the duo international success and has been certified double platinum in Australia and gold in the United Kingdom.[9][10] The album provided a number of internationally charting singles including "Walking on a Dream" which peaked at number ten on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart and reached number sixty four on the UK Singles Chart, and "We Are the People", which peaked at number fourteen on the UK Singles Chart.[11]
The duo's second album Ice on the Dune was released in June 2013[12] preceded by lead single "Alive" on 16 April.[13] The band are signed to EMI/Virgin.[14] A live band, fronted by Steele, has performed internationally and is known for its flamboyant appearance and elaborate stage sets.[15][16] The duo have won a number of Australian music awards.[17][18]
Luke Steele and Nick Littlemore met in 2000 after being introduced by Steele's A&R executive, Simon Moor,[19] in a bar in Sydney.[20] Both were at the time signed to EMI and had already been working on different projects.[6] Over the years that followed, the two collaborated on a number of occasions. Littlemore helped write the song "Tell the Girls That I'm Not Hangin' Out",[21] which appeared on The Sleepy Jackson's 2003 debut album, Lovers,[19] and Steele had some artistic input in Littlemore's 2006 art-rock project Teenager.[22] After a falling out over the song on Lovers the co-operation ceased for a while, with Littlemore commenting "I'm a very intense person and I take things to heart".[23]
The two reconvened in 2006 to work on two songs for the Pnau album that was released in late 2007. They collaborated on the tracks "Freedom" and the opener "With You Forever" where Steele supplied the vocal. This prompted a change in direction for the band who began to craft a work more vocally-centered album featuring guest performances.[24] A track-by-track analysis of the album Pnau revealed that writing of "With You Forever" with Luke Steele inspired Littlemore's band to begin work on a collaborative project.[25] Littlemore said, "We fell in love with music again with [With You Forever]; I think this is [Pnau's] first great song." The release of Pnau brought an interest from Elton John, who signed Littlemore to his management company.[26]
The new project began to develop under the working title of "Steelemore" as a collaboration between Steele and Littlemore,[23] with Pnau partner Peter Mayes listed as a producer and occasional co-writer.[27] As Steele was living in Perth and Littlemore was in Sydney the two spent time writing songs separately while meetings occasionally in Sydney to decide on the musical direction and style.[20] When they had accumulated enough material Mayes and duo began to record the album throughout 2007 with the assistance of Jonathan Sloan.[6][28]
While the record had been largely recorded and mixed, the self-titled Pnau album took precedence for Littlemore and Mayes in the first half of 2008. The duo put out the title-track "Walking on a Dream" in anticipation of the album's release. It appeared in digital format on 30 August 2008,[29] and received airtime on Australian radio and reached number ten on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart.[30] A second single, titled "We Are the People", was released on the 30 September and peaked at number twenty-four in Australia.[30] The album Walking on a Dream appeared on 3 October 2008 and debuted at number eight on the ARIA Albums Charts, peaking at number six.[31] The duo embarked on an international promotional tour in support of the album that was released in Europe in February/March 2009 followed by a North American release in April of the same year. While the project had initially been conceived as studio-only, the growing success brought "an audience [to which] we felt a duty to be good to them".[32] Upon their return to Australia Steele began to prepare for a live debut of the band at Parklife Festival in September and October 2009.[33] The headlined three shows, described as a visual "overload giant graphics swam and spun over the stage as costumed dancers writhed to the beat and Steele on a pedestal onstage, a gigantic metallic headpiece and his usual 'Ming The Merciless' robe".[34] A third single, "Standing on the Shore" was released in June 2009[35] however promotion was scaled back when Steele suffered from exhaustion.[36] A remixed version "Without You" was released as the album's fourth single the following September.[37]
Littlemore decided to opt out of performing with the band live, citing 'I've always felt that once you make a record it's not yours anymore'.[32] Steele gave the impression that his partner left the band in September 2009, however, Littlemore resurfaced in the following month, citing his production work and a project with Cirque du Soleil as the reason for the lack of communication.[38] He divided his time between the UK and Montreal while working on other creative commitments.[39] Steele continued to perform live with the band at a number of Australian outdoor events.[40][41] Towards the end of 2009 the band received a number of ARIA Awards for Walking on a Dream, including Best Album of the Year.[42]
The band performed as a co-headliner at the touring Future Music Festival around Australia in February/March 2010.[43] The band made their international debut at the Vivo Latino Festival in Mexico City in April of that same year.[44] They moved to Europe for the summer festival season where they performed at among others Glastonbury and Rock Werchter.[45][46] The band made their American debut at the Lollapalooza festival.[47] In October 2010, "We Are the People" was used as the soundtrack for a Vodafone TV commercial in Germany and subsequently topped the German Singles Chart.[48][49] In November 2010, Littlemore indicated that he had "talked to Luke (Steele) the other day; we're doing a new record. We've already written a couple of tunes. You know when it's right I guess".[39] In July 2011, Littlemore announced that the band had gone into the studio at the end of June to begin working on a second Empire of the Sun album while he confirmed would "come on board this time, actually come together and tour".[50] As recording continued, Littlemore continued to have Pnau related commitments, releasing the album Soft Universe in 2011 and the Elton John remix album Good Morning to the Night in 2012.[51][52]
For much of 2012 the duo and their collaborators spent time recording material while Steele and the band retired from touring. On 11 March 2013, the band revealed a trailer for their second album entitled Ice on the Dune directed by J.D. Dillard and confirmed the release date as June 2013.[53][54] The lead single "Alive" was released on 16 April and on the same day, the album was made available for pre-order on iTunes.[13] The single had moderate success in Australia and Europe.[30][55] On 18 April 2013, the Farrelly brothers announced that the band would score Dumb and Dumber To.[56] Ice on the Dune was released on 14 June 2013 in Australia[57] and New Zealand.[15][58] Steele would later describe the lack of success of the album as part of their progression as a band.[59]
Steele received global media attention following an interview he completed with music publication NME in August 2013 at the Sziget Festival in Budapest. During the interview, Steele compared Ice on the Dune with Daft Punk's 2013 album release Random Access Memories, stating: "They had a great marketing campaign, but we've got better songs."[60] In 2014 the band performed at the Coachella Festival, headlining the Sahara Tent.[16]
"Alive" was used in the introduction video for Google I/O 2013. It was also played within the introduction video of the new Yahoo! logo on 5 September 2013, played over the end credits of the 2013 film Paranoia, and featured in the movie Dumb and Dumber To. "Alive" was also a featured song on the soundtrack of EA Sports game, FIFA 14.[61]
In December 2014, Empire of the Sun released two songs, "Tonight" and "Wandering Star", which were written for the Farrelly brothers film, Dumb and Dumber To.[62] For much of 2015 the duo were writing and recording of their third album in Hawaii and Los Angeles. By the end of the year, Steele noted that the new release was "75 percent there".[59]
The band continued to perform live in the second half of 2015, including a show at the Hollywood Bowl.[63][64]
In January 2016, the band's 2008 album title track "Walking on a Dream" was featured in a national commercial titled "The Dreamer" in the United States for the Japanese automaker Honda to promote the 2016 Honda Civic.[65] The song finally led to U.S. chart breakthrough for the band, peaking at Number 3 on Billboard's Alternative music charts, topping the dance music charts, and peaking at #40 on the Mainstream Top 40 chart.
In August 2016 it was announced that the third album Two Vines was set for release on 28 October 2016. The album was co-produced by Peter Mayes and features contributions by Lindsey Buckingham, Wendy Melvoin, and former David Bowie collaborators Henry Hey and Tim Lefebvre.[66] The 15-track album includes a remix of the song "Walking on a Dream" and was partly recorded in Hawaii. Littlemore explained the inspiration behind the title as "this image of a modern city overtaken by jungle".[66] The first single "High and Low" was released on 24 August. "High and Low" was also featured in the EA Sports game, FIFA 17.[67]
Although the name of the project has been attributed to the 1984 novel of the same name by J. G. Ballard,[68] Littlemore denied this and offers an explanation, saying, "the name comes more from the idea of (and you'll see this in the ongoing videos) the fact that we're traveling around the world going to all the places of empires of the civilization where the sun has been a theme of worship. It's not based on the Ballard novel nor the Spielberg film of the same name".[20]
The band employs elaborate stage sets and headdress, which reflects the duo's background in visual art. Littlemore explained that "we did see Alejandro Jodorowsky's Holy Mountain and it influenced the way we could think about visualization".[69] The band has worked with a number of designers, including Jessica Huerta.[59] Steele described the inspiration for the visual aspect as "the vision of this band, it's built on imagination, so it comes from studying the samurais in art school to digital graphics, to topography, to filming under the ocean, to oil paintings, anything really."[70]
In the UK, they gained fourth position on the BBC News website's Sound of 2009 poll.[71]
Empire of the Sun appeared for the first time in a Triple J Hottest 100 with two entries in the 2008 countdown: "We Are the People" at number sixty-eight and "Walking on a Dream" at number four.[72]
"Walking on a Dream" was nominated as "Song of the Year" at the 2009 Australian Performing Rights Association awards.
Empire of the Sun were nominated for six awards at the 2009 ARIA Awards. They were nominated for Album of the Year, Single of the Year, Best Group, Best Pop Release, Best Selling Single and Best Selling Album, winning all but the Best Selling awards. Steele also performed "Walking on a Dream" at the event. Empire of the Sun also received an additional five nominations—Producer of the Year, Engineer of the Year, Best Video and Best Cover Art—as part of the Artisan Awards section of the 2009 ARIA Awards, and won all but two of these awards.[citation needed]
The ARIA Music Awards of 2009 nominations were announced on 8 October 2009.[42] Empire of the Sun received the most nominations of any artist,[96] with a total of eleven. The winners were announced on 26 November 2009 with Empire of the Sun winning in seven categories.
The nominations for the ARIA Music Awards of 2010 were announced on 28 September 2010 and the winners were announced on 7 November 2010.[97] The final nominees for the ARIA Music Awards of 2013 were announced on 14 October, as well as the nominees and winners for the Fine Arts Awards and Artisan Awards.[17]
The APRA Awards are presented annually from 1982 by the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA).[18]

I just stayed here during a week-long yoga retreat, and this was one of the best vacations I've ever taken. Jess did a wonderful job coordinating all of the details, and was a wonderful yoga teacher. She was very attuned to the needs of all of us yogis, and that's hard to do with a group of 10! The resort is a 3 hour drive from Santo Domingo airport, or 5+ hours from Punta Cana. You are definitely not in the super-touristy resort areas, which was a plus for me. The views are amazing, the rooms are clean, and the food was terrific (most food grown locally). The staff is wonderful, and definitely helped to make it a great experience. All of the rooms are separate buildings, and there are enough stairs/space/trees/plants separating you that you don't necessarily see your neighbors! There is also a beautiful infinity pool to lounge by. Thanks for a wonderful stay, and I would definitely go on another one of Jess' retreats!

TOKYO, Dec. 14 ― JA ZEN-NOH Grain Corp., a marketing subsidiary of Japan's largest farmers' cooperative, said its Canadian unit has agreed to set up a joint venture with Canada's Parrish & Heimbecker to build a new export terminal at the port of Vancouver.
The terminal will provide 4 million metric tons of annual handling capacity, said Japan's National Federation of Agricultural Cooperative Associations (JA ZEN-NOH) on Dec. 12.
The move comes as Canadian grain exports to China continues to grow and the JA ZEN-NOH, the marketing arm of JA group, needed to secure a stable supply of grains for animal feeds to Japan.
Construction on the new terminal has begun and is expected to be completed in December 2020, the JA ZEN-NOH said.
"We make an investment in building the Canadian grain supply chain," said a JA ZEN-NOH official. "We will have the supply chain when it connects our existing inland facilities to the new port terminal."

Hey fellas,
Just a question as i am soon to do a new pc also whats the benefit, of 16gig over 8gig ram, ive been
reading that it provides little if any benefit when gaming.
Very few games will even approach 8gb of RAM usage, but you have to take into account other programs running on your PC at the same time.
I run a Plex server on my main PC as well as usually running a movie/youtube video on my second screen while gaming. It is not uncommon for me to see 4-5GB of RAM used before I even fire a game up.
RAM is really cheap now so I would just throw 2 8GB sticks and be done with it.

Joining our SWOT team is a little different from trying to capture a bank robber who's holding hostages. Joining us may actually ease the daunting task of analyzing your organization for internal Strengths and Weaknesses and external Opportunities and Threats.
Many marketing professionals talk about doing a SWOT analysis—but, in the absence of support, the intensity of this undertaking may be the reasons why relatively few marketers complete an analysis (and fewer still act on it).
Bobette Kyle's recent article about SWOT analysis clearly defines its value to the marketer. However, getting started can be a problem. Many companies are very good at describing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats for a particular product. But defining these categories for an organization is sometimes intimidating.
People confront overwhelming obstacles in three main areas:
- Being able to accurately identify specific strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats
- Developing an action plan to address them
- Finding the time to follow up afterward
Whether working alone or with a consultant, analyzing all the different departments—managers and partners, people, processes and technology—can be overwhelming. That's why we are inviting the 86,000 readers of MarketingProfs to help.
In this new column, we will present a marketing dilemma and ask our readers to provide their best advice. Readers of MarketingProfs are some of the most experienced marketers out there. They have tried many marketing approaches. Some were wildly successful. Some were dismal failures. All resulted in lessons learned.
We want to tap into this wealth of knowledge. If you have ideas that might shed some light on the dilemma, please provide your best advice by clicking on the link below. Your identity will be withheld, if you choose. (Just let us know your preference.)
So, join us. We promise you won't be disappointed. When we tap into our collective experience, strength and hope—everyone benefits.

When ordering 12 1/3 pound burgers, how many are packaged together?
The Bison Burgers are packaged in 1 lb. packages, so there are 3 burgers per seal.
What is the sodium content of the bison burgers and the ground bison meat? Also the steak as well?
There are 90mg of sodium per 1/3 lb. bison burger patty. (This would be the same amount for the ground bison as well.)

Let there be love of indwelling God in ones heart and mind.
Awakening to God within is like the being of a rapid transformation to that of a butterfly. To awaken one need only let transformation take place by way of consciousness to ones own divinity and therefore, being in the consciousness that one carries God with them always. To allow that which is constantly trying to manifest in ones life, is to live in the light of the presence of God within.
Caring for oneself means caring for the indwelling Spirit of all that creates life and lives it through the spirit of a human being. To allow that which is and always will be to be alive in ones own spirit is to be aware that one is a Universal Mind and therefore a creator of worlds themselves. One need only dwell in the truth that they are The Divine Spirit and therefore can create their world in whichever way they choose.
The light does not play favorites or exclude any human spirit from Its warmth and patience even when the true Self is unknown to them. It does not fault or judge one whom has not thought upon or believed in its existence or presence in ones life. It is not aware Itself of the unconscious human mind that does not open to receive Its radical abundance. It is ever present and awaits ones belief and faith in It so that It may fulfill them in ways yet imagined by the their own limited mind to abundant, creative thinking.
The imagination is a powerful tool, and yet it can not fully imagine that which will be put into physical, mental and emotional form in ones life should they open themselves and let all of that which is given pour out of them in succession to their own inner abundance of that which they can not yet comprehend.
For to comprehend that which is constantly present within oneself is to know the limited nature of the mind and let it therefore be one with the Whole which is ever attempting to create the dreams that the mind does not know it can have.
The light within all humans is ever present and ready to awaken and bring forth new thoughts and ideas that bring one to understanding, joy, peace and prosperity that already resides within them. By awareness of ones limitations and constrictive thinking, one can open to the infinite creative energy that lies within them at all times.
Through faith in this energy, one can open themselves to the true, unlimited nature they have. To awaken to the light, one need only realize this is true for them and all who care for themselves, believe, and have faith in their own divinity.

Title:Epiphany 4, Feb. 3, 2019
Epiphany 4, Feb. 3, 2019 (full size gallery)
This week is not only Epiphany 4 but "Souper Bowl Sunday". We were collecting for the Village Harvest which averages about $140 a month. Last year we collected $175 and we hope to do better this year. 149 million will tune into the Super Bowl game but there are 50 million facing hungry. In our own county 12 people out of 100 are food insecure, without reliable access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food.
It was a Super Sunday wishing our oldest parishioner Millie a happy 95th birthday this week.
It was a Super Sunday enjoying a rare bald eagle in the tree across the street. So majestic!
We had 44 in the service under clearing skies by service time and much warmer temperatures.
We have to remember them at the time of our Potluck Sunday Social which was held this month at the Heimbach's home. It was a time to recognize all the February birthdays- 14 of them – Helmut Linne von Berg, Katie Davis, Millie Muhly, Dorian Huffman, Elizabeth Heimbach, Clarence Kuntsmann, McKenna Long, Howard Muhly, Marie Duke, Gibby Fannon, Edgar Harper, Virginia Fall, Barbara Wiscome, Mary Ann Betchy.
The luncheon featured Elizabeth's crab dip, chicken wings, sandwiches, a pea dish , salad, fruit and of course birthday cake at the end. Everyone appreciated the Heimbach's hospitality.
The lectionary this week reveals the power given us through God's love and presence.
Catherine's sermon focused on God's love
Today's lessons are all about God's powerful, amazing, and unbelievable love, and that's something worth hearing about! God's love is so powerful that God loves us into being. God knows us even before we are conceived. God consecrates us as beloved children. God lays out our paths through this life—all before we are even born. This love is so amazing that we can't believe it, much less imagine ourselves living into that close, loving communication with God.
However there is contention in the process – an upset Jeremiah in the Old Testament, a discordant Corinthians community in Paul and finally Nazarenes that didn't like Jesus message and were ready to cast him off to his death.
Jeremiah protests his call to prophesy, but God commands him to speak boldly. Paul teaches a quarreling community that, while all the spiritual gifts have value, respect and love for each other deeply empower us. Jesus proclaims that the power of his ministry will not be confined to his hometown or even to his faith community.
The Old Testament is Jeremiah's call to be a prophet according to the typical pattern of the Old Testament: call, hesitation and divine affirmation. Like Moses, Isaiah and Ezekiel, Jeremiah pleads his incapacity to serve as God's prophet. He claims that he is too young but is overruled. The Lord will put the words of God in Jeremiah's mouth.
Jeremiah's job is to stand firm, not to tremble before the hostility of his audience but to speak clearly the judgments of God. God makes no promises about the ease of his mission; in fact, Jeremiah is guaranteed a battle. Nevertheless God's presence is with Jeremiah, undergirding his obedience with divine strength.
The sermon commented on Jeremiah. "Jeremiah didn't believe it when God said, "I love you and I'm appointing you to be a prophet to the nations." "Now hold on," Jeremiah says. "I'm just a boy." But God reassures him—"Look, Jeremiah, the fact that you're a child is no problem, because I will go with you, even through your deepest fears, for I am with you to deliver you. That's how much I love you. I'll never, ever leave you!" We matter to God just as much as Jeremiah did. "
The Epistle from Corinthians sets Paul's praise of love within the context of the meaning of spiritual gifts. The Corinthians struggled with the value and exercise of spiritual gifts within the community. Greater honor was given to those who possessed the more extraordinary gifts (v. 27).
Paul insists that no spiritual gift, no matter how powerful, is a true measure of a person's spiritual maturity. Without love, the gifts are worthless. Instead, God's unmerited love to us and from us to others (in Greek, agape), is the essential gift of divine life and is the necessary context that gives all the spiritual gifts value.
Jesus' sermon in the synagogue at Nazareth from Luke and the public's reaction to it foreshadow the meaning of his ministry, its rejection by Israel and the mission to the Gentile world.
The people apparently want Jesus to do for his hometown what he has done elsewhere, perhaps to validate Jesus' own claim (4:21). He reminds them of other occasions when God directed ministry outside the nation.
As the sermon reminded us, "The people in the synagogue who heard Jesus preach spoke well of him. They thought they would get a special reward from Jesus, being from his hometown. But when Jesus told them that his love was for everyone, even for those who weren't Jewish, they became enraged and tried to kill him. Their arrogant sense of entitlement got the best of them. "
Both Elijah and Elisha ministered to pagans when there were plenty of Israelites they could have helped. And Jesus plans to follow in their footsteps! Like the prophets, Jesus speaks to those who will listen, ministers to those who will accept his touch and heals those who believe. He will not allow his mission to be limited by any religious or geographical boundaries.
What is true for Jesus is also true for his followers—there's the rub. He blasts the walls of our comfortable social circles and denies us the cozy hearths of self-indulgence. He insists on coming to us at the most inopportune times and in the most distressing disguises.
Gospel Commentary by Michael Zarling, Lutheran minister
Jesus' return to his home synagogue in Nazareth. Jesus is standing up to read from the scroll of Isaiah. The scroll is ornate, with elaborate silver ornaments.
Jesus returned to his home town. The Nazarenes are in awe of Jesus. They have heard about the great miracles Jesus had performed in the surrounding country, and that He preached with authority.
They filled up the synagogue on the Sabbath. During the Divine Service, the hometown boy read from Isaiah 61, a big-time Messianic prophecy! It's where God promises to send a Savior.
He would be the anointed Messianic preacher of the gospel for the spiritually oppressed, freedom for those under spiritual captivity and spiritual sight for the spiritually blind.
The people were impressed. They liked what Jesus had to say.
But then Jesus preached some specific, brutal, attention-getting Law.
He talked about how they and their ancestors had always been stubborn in their unbelief, deafness and blindness.
Jesus knew they would quote this proverb back to him: "Physician, heal yourself!"
Prove it.
Jesus should prove he is the great Physician of body and soul by healing people at home. In Nazareth – the town he grew up in with his parents and brothers and sisters.
Jesus doesn't perform a miracle on command at home. Instead, he says,
"Amen I tell you: No prophet is accepted in his hometown. But truly I tell you: There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut for three years and six months, while a great famine came over all the land. Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to a widow of Zarephath, in Sidon. And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was healed except Naaman the Syrian.
You would think that Israel would have the inside track on miracles, but that was not the case- these were outsiders, enemies of Israel even.
All those hungry widows and only an outsider gets a miracle. All those lepers and diseased Israelites, and only the enemy gets healed.
Everything went downhill fast after Jesus said this in the synagogue. In fact, that's what the crowd wanted to do – throw Jesus down a hill, fast. Instead of allowing God's Word to work, they wanted to kill their Physician.
In The Brow of the Hill Near Nazareth, the painter Tissot portrays the action and outrage of the Nazarenes toward Jesus. Luke records it this way:
All those who were in the synagogue were filled with rage when they heard these things. They got up and drove him out of the town. They led him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, in order to throw him off the cliff.
Because Tissot always depicted Jesus in white, we might mistakenly conclude that the man in the middle of the painting is Jesus. But he's not. Tissot uses this man's flailing as a contrast to Jesus. This man is waving his arms at a mystified crowd.
Jesus had disappeared from their midst.
St. Luke reports Jesus disappearance very calmly, "But he passed through the middle of them and went on his way" (Luke 4:30).

Mapping of Ratings results to
How to get information:
If you roll the mouse cursor over a pointer on the map, the information about the relevant country (including the name and the value of indices) will be displayed in the text area next to the map.
If you click the left button on the mouse at this time , the corresponding page from Wikipedia will be opened in new window.
You can change the colour map by clicking items below the georaphic map.
The detailed results of analysis could be found in the paper "Mapping of Ratings results to the Modern Political Atlas" (in russian), part 2.1, and in the article in Wikipedia "Nonlinear quality of life index".
The essence of this interpretation is presented below:
Principal Component 1 : "Wellbeing» of the country. "Red" countries are successful; "Green" are not.
Principal Component 2 : "Uncontrollable force". "Green" countries are poor or the ones, where international influence is not compensated by the development of democracy foundations.
Principal Component 3 : "Difficulties of democracy". "Red" countries are rich with totalitarian politics, "Green" ones are the countries with democratic regime, but which experience some difficulties.
Principal Component 4 : "Importance of the International influence despite of the national problems" is the slogan for "Green" countries, "Red" countries are less sensetive to the international impact.
Principal Component 5 : "Balance between Soverain State and the quality of life". In "Red" countries more attension is paid to the development of the life quality, in "Green" the state consistency is more important.

(general terms)
Though these terms sound alike, they have different meanings. When computer experts discuss the Java programming language, they often mention that browsers include a type of virtual mechanism (or "sandbox") encapsulating the Java program and preventing it from gaining access to local machines. The theory behind Java has been that a Java "applet" is actually content-like graphics and not full-application software. But as of 2000, all major browsers have been found to have bugs in the Java virtual mechanisms, allowing hostile applets to break free of the "sandbox" and gain access to other system parts. Most security experts now browse with Java disabled on their computers, whereas other security experts encapsulate it with many more sandboxes. Java is used as a full-fledged programming language in which many of the server-side applications on the Internet are written.
Although Java and JavaScript are different, to be able to take market advantage of the negative marketing hype around Java, Netscape renamed its JavaScript "LiveScript."
