MONROE, La. (AP) — Northeast Louisiana military veterans will have a new, larger clinic for health care once a $4.7 million expansion project is completed later this year in Monroe.
The current clinic is about 9,000 square feet. The News-Star reports (http://townta.lk/Xwp3vG) that construction is expected to start soon on a 21,000-square-foot facility near the University of Louisiana at Monroe's School of Pharmacy.
Once completed, the clinic is expected to eventually double its medical staff by adding more doctors or nurse practitioners. The facility currently has five doctors.
Services will include primary care, mental health counseling, women's health, home-based primary care, audiology and teleconferencing treatment with doctors in Shreveport.
"We're excited for Monroe to get this brand new clinic and bring more services to our veterans in the Monroe area," said Sandy Franks, public affairs officer for the Overton Brooks VA Medical Center in Shreveport.
Local veteran Tommy Shoemaker has used the Monroe clinic over the past decade for a number of health care needs. He's excited about the expansion project, which he says will help reduce the wait time for area veterans and add more services.
"It's going to be a great help for the veterans and the community. The waiting list has gotten longer because there's only so much room for doctors. Now they'll have room to add more doctors, which will keep the veterans from having to wait longer for appointments," Shoemaker said.
Al Sanders, detachment vice commander for the Sons of American Legion of Louisiana, is excited about the expansion because he hopes he'll have to travel to Shreveport less often.
Currently, Sanders has to travel to Shreveport for all of his health care needs because the Monroe clinic doesn't have the specialists and services available to treat him.
"When they make these improvements, some of that care possibly can be done here," Sanders said.
Monroe-area veterans look forward to larger clinic

Of course, this is something that will need to be fixed soon. I'd be happy to assist if I could be of any use.

Sanjana Hattotuwa, the founder of the citizen journalism website Groundviews, sent us the links to a new series of posters and videos focused on digital communications security. The material, which is aimed at a Sri Lankan audience, is available in English, Sinhala, and Tamil, but is relevant to anyone who uses the Internet or a mobile phone.
Hattotuwa asked that the links be shared as widely as possible. "Awareness on these issues is absolutely critical, especially at a juncture when the government is actively pursuing even more draconian and antiquated laws to censor inconvenient content online, and viciously target producers of such content," he said in an email.
The "draconian and antiquated laws" he mentions are wrapped up in a July 13 announcement by Keheliya Rambukwella, the minister of mass media and information. According to Rambukwella, new regulations were being implemented in which news websites would be charged a registration fee of 100,000 Sri Lankan rupees (US$750), along with a 50,000 rupee (US$375) annual re-registration fee. The minister said that the charges would "ensure that contents of the websites do not harm defenseless individuals."
In addition, the ministry also said, on its website the week before, that an amendment to the Sri Lankan Press Council Act of 1973 would incorporate the monitoring of news websites in order to prevent "mud-slinging" and to allow "new regulations ... and guidelines aimed at streamlining websites."
With the growth of digital media, the government's attention has increasingly been directed at online sites. The most recent incident came in late June, when police raided the Colombo offices of the Sri Lanka Mirror and Sri Lanka X News and rounded up the staff. According to the ministry's post, when Rambukwella was asked about the shutdown of two "mud-slinging" websites, the minister said that several allegations had been made against the two websites. "I'm not in a position to divulge information right now, but there have been various allegations against these websites," he said.
Nor has Rambukwella discussed the websites that had been temporarily blocked in November. The BBC reported that several sites had been shut down for maligning top government officials, including engaging in "character assassination" of President Mahinda Rajapaksa. And in May, Sri Lanka's Supreme Court slammed the door on a case about the shutdown of four websites that had failed to register with the government. In giving its decision, the court appeared to rule that freedom of expression in Sri Lanka was not an absolute right and could be restricted--and that you didn't need to pass a law to do so.
The government's various rationales for its anti-online campaign are hard to reconcile with the climate of intense intimidation and violence against critical opposition journalists. At least 23 Sri Lankan journalists have gone into exile, fearing retaliation, CPJ research shows. The country ranks fourth in the world in combating anti-press violence, according to CPJ's global Impunity Index.

We recently spoke to Koen Aben, the Supply Chain Director of WE Fashion, who gave us some insight into how Oracle supported the international fashion retailer through the completion of a large scale integration project across its 340 European stores. Koen explains the reasoning behind the project which was to create a common retail foundation and to integrate and align working processes to drive insight and enable continued growth. It is always good to hear from someone of Koen's experience who can articulate the benefits of partnering with the right company for such an extensive project as this.
Koen explains that a crucial element of such a project is to unify business applications into a common platform, adding that for successful growth, retailers really need to achieve enterprise-wide alignment. At the start of the three year project, WE Fashion's application platform was fragmented impacting the company's ability to support sustained growth. In light of this, WE Fashion invested in its processes, systems, teams and partnerships to build the needed retail foundation. Now after successfully completing the project, the basis is in place to ensure that growth is unimpeded.
In the video, Koen Aben highlights some of the factors necessary for the success of the project as:
- Having an understanding that the process of creating a growth platform for a company is a long journey
- Accepting that during a lengthy project such as this, there will be high and low points experienced within the project team and the business, but that the relationship with your partners is crucial to the success of the project.
- Having the correct team in place will prove to be the "lynch –pin" of any successful project
Oracle supported Koen and his team in implementing this project, and is recognised for the role it played during this development in partnership with the company. On his experience with working with the Oracle team, Koen points out that in the critical situations, Oracle was there to ensure that the right people were in place whenever needed and this was key to ensuring the project's success. Since Oracle is one of the few providers that can offer an enterprise-wide retail platform, our best practice approach is key to connecting interactions throughout the business to enable insight and optimise operations.
This is a great example of a large scale international retail project, where the true success of its completion is reflected in how proud the company is about what has been achieved, and the fact that results are already being seen.

Honors & Notes
John Denny, the Phillies Cy Young Award winner in 1983, presented Roy Halladay his 2010 award Saturday night at the New York Baseball Writers Association of America annual banquet. Nice touch.
Speaking of honors, Cliff Lee is being inducted into the Arkansas Hall of Fame in February. On Sunday in Springfield, MO, Tommy Herr, former Phillies second baseman (1989-90) is being inducted into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame.
Speaking of Halls of Fame…..work is in progress for the 12-person 2011 ballot for the Phillies Wall of Fame. Voting will take place on phillies.com again during spring training. More information will be forthcoming. The top five from fan voting are then passed on to a Special Wall of Fame Election Committee. Induction will take place August 12.
Here and There
The Phillies 5K sold out in less than 24 hours. 3,100 runners and I will not be among that number. . . New HD video board construction continues. Kind of strange right now looking at the naked structure in left field . . . "Old" Citizens Bank Park video board is up and running at Bright House Field, which will enhance the festival atmosphere in spring training . . . Citizens Bank Park remains a place to hold meetings, functions, etc. CITGO has a morning meeting Thursday in the Hall of Fame Club while Philly Coca-Cola has an all-day meeting in the Diamond Club . . . Happy 50th wedding anniversary to LHP Al Neiger, who wore the Phillies uniform in 1960. He and Barbara were married on January 28, 1961, had a short honeymoon and then headed for Clearwater and spring training.

Also,Make sure that you update the maps and firmware before using it, and drive around an hour or so before trying to use it.
Why? What happens if you don't
There were no weight or height restrictions or any other reason to possibly trigger the ridiculous route.
6 months ago I could buy a new 670 RV LMT For about $320.00, today they are $475-$583 on Amazon. I think people are passing on the 770 and the demand for 670s is driving the price increase.
The 770 has more features than the 670, but for many, has a major drawback of not including a traffic receiver and only getting its traffic updates via a smartphone app that will eat up your cell data.
The 770 dezl is advertised as having built-in traffic - is that an option?
There is NO setting for a motorhome pulling a toad. There is either a motorhome by itself, a vehicle with a trailer, or a 5th wheel. All of the aforementioned rigs can be backed up.
Many many many roads have multiple names, or change names at an intersection, and the Garmin is limited in that capacity, causing MUCH confusion.
One issue you mentioned that is of great importance to me is the lack of being able to tell the unit that you have a toad and cannot back up. I have surge brakes on my tow dolly and can back up about two feet before they lock up so I always have to make sure I have a forward egress. Backing up and turning around isn't an option.
Why cant you back up, at least a few feet?

About a month ago, we brought you these set photos from The Campaign (previously known as Dog Fight), starring Will Ferrell (Old School) and Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover). Now, we have the first official image from the movie which features Ferrell and Galifianakis' characters as political opponents posing for a photograph. The plot of The Campaign follows Cam Brady (Ferrell) and Marty Huggins (Galifianakis), two North Carolina politicians who each have Presidential aspirations and are vying for a congressional seat in their district. This image isn't as colorful as the previous set photos, but Galifianakis' awkwardness is shining through loud and clear.
Directed by Jay Roach (Meet the Parents), The Campaign also stars Jason Sudeikis, Dylan McDermott, Brian Cox, John Lithgow and Dan Aykroyd. Look for The Campaign to appear in theaters on August 10th. Hit the jump to see the image and a bonus quote from Ferrell. [Update: We've updated the image with a hi-res version]
EW has the first look at the new official image from The Campaign, along with a quote from Ferrell about his character's background. Ferrell apparently plays the incumbent congressman who gets involved in a sex scandal, allowing an underdog (Galifianakis) to challenge him for his seat in Congress. In Ferrell's words:
"I have a bit of an ethical slip. I leave a highly sexual message on a very Christian family's answering machine, thinking I'm calling my mistress."

Taste like a Thin Mint
Typically I am not a mint chocolate person. Don't get me wrong, I love an occasional Andes Mint, but I almost always would choose something else over the mint chocolate combination. Something about these cookies spoke to me and I had to make them. I happened to purchase a bag of Nestle Dark Chocolate and Mint Morsels last year and never used them. I just assumed they would still be good, until I got them out of my pantry and realized they expired quite some time ago and there were odd looking white spots on the mint chips. Apparently I really wanted to make these cookies, because the next time I was at Target I bought a new bag of chips and went home and whipped up the dough. I made the dough a week in advance of when I wanted to bake them. So I rolled the dough into balls and stuck it in the freezer. Then, this past Saturday I let the dough thaw and baked them off. They turned out great! They are crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy in the center. They are not overly minty which is perfect. My cookies came out much more pillow-like then the cookies pictured in the original recipe, which I think I prefer. Perhaps it had to do with me freezing the dough. Enjoy!
Mint Chocolate Delight Cookies
recipe adapted from Nestle
2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup baking cocoa
1 1.4 oz package of instant chocolate pudding Mix
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 2/3 cups (10-oz. pkg.) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Dark Chocolate & Mint Morsels
Preheat oven to 325° F.
Combine flour, cocoa, pudding mix, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels. Drop by well-rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.
Bake for 11 to 13 minutes or until cookies are puffed and centers are set. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Five 2011 Academy Award Upsets We'd Like to See
It should be stated for the record that while the editorial 'we' was used for the title of this column, the truth is that these are my picks and solely my picks. Let the first person speak begin.
The Academy Awards have become a bit of a bore in the last few years. There have been next to no surprises in the major categories, except for perhaps Marion Cotillard winning Best Actress in 2008 for "La Vie en Rose" or Alan Arkin winning Best Supporting actor in 2007 for "Little Miss Sunshine." For the most part, it's decided pretty early who's going to win, which totally sucks, if you ask me. Of course, there are categories where there is a performance that clearly stands out above the others, but in many instances, people win their Oscars not because they've delivered something otherworldly, but because it's their time, and they're due, or other such nonsense. These aren't lifetime achievement awards, and this isn't a welfare system. If you give the award to the worthy party the first time around, there will be no need to "pay them back" later (cough, Al Pacino and Denzel Washington).
Take Tilda Swinton, for example. Do you know why she won the Academy Award for Supporting Actress? It's because the voters knew that "Michael Clayton" was going to be shut out in every other category, so they threw Swinton a bone just so the movie walked away with at least one award. What the hell kind of logic is that? Did she really give the best performance or not? She was perfectly fine in the movie, but there was nothing extraordinary about it, certainly not compared to her hilariously stone-hearted harpy in "Burn After Reading." Needless to say, the Academy's predictability of late has led me to rebel, which is why on Sunday, I'd love nothing more than to hear the following five names be read instead of what we will probably hear.
Best Original Screenplay: Christopher Nolan, "Inception"
Current Frontrunner: David Seidler, "The King's Speech"
"The King's Speech" is a wonderful little film. It was #7 on my list of top movies of 2010. But that story has been done many, many times before, while "Inception" was so layered that it took 10 years for Christopher Nolan to finish it. Small stories are good stories, but when someone dares to, pardon the pun, dream like Nolan did here – and better yet, pull it off, which he does in spades – that should be rewarded. It would also serve as a warning shot across the bows of every action movie director that story matters, damn it, and to get rid of the jive-talking robots.

|Common Name:
|Antilles (or sometimes Martinique) Pinktoe
|Described by:
|Year of Discovery:
|Guadeloupe, Martinique, Lesser Antilles
|Tarantula World:
|New World
Their Natural Habitat:
|Arboreal. Caribena versicolor are known to be communal in the wild, but are not easily kept as communals in captivity. They live in the trees on tropical islands.
|This species is considered to be docile. Please keep in mind that though species have their stereotype temperament, individual spiders can exhibit temperaments that vary significantly from the norm. I personally have read of a number of bite reports from this species, so they appear to be more likely to bite than other Avics. The higher incidents of bites may also be because owners expect this species to be like any other unprovokable pinktoe. I have never been bit by my 6 girl I have had since a sling, but it is always a possibility. What my girl will do more readily is squirt poo after a few minutes of being out of tank and in hand. As slings, they can be fast-moving and mine would readily jump. In 4 years, I have seen her flick only twice. Never seen her rump bald. This is one of only three spider in my collection (over 50 through the years) that will drink out of the palm of my hand.
|Classified as medium growth rate. Up to 6".
Experience Level:
|Intermediate (due to its delicate requirements of humidity and ventilation).
|66°- 86°F according to their native climate. I keep mine between 80°and 85°F
|70 80%. These are tropical island species so they do well with higher humidity, I mist my girl's tank walls a few times a week. As slings, these are particularly delicate spiders, and have a reputation (even slightly more than the general Avicularia genus) to die without warning or reason. In my experience, they need a tricky balance of high humidity and ventilation, especially as slings. The ventilation is to prevent molds from growing in the tank (as big a killer as dehydration with this species). Older juvies and adults are more hardy, but definitely still need moisture in the cage.
|As an arboreal species these need more vertical space than horizontal. I house mine in a home-made plexi tank that is 8x8 floor space and 12 vertical. This is likely the smallest size tank (I should upgrade to a larger tank). Provide a branch or something to climb on, though they may take to the walls of the enclosure. A vertical bark leaned against the cage offers a location for versicolors to make their tube webs behind. Mine readily makes a tube web in the top corner of the tank that she spends more time in as she get closer to a molt, usually sealing off the two or three entrances a few weeks before molting.
|Eco Earth (coconut husk). You may make a mix of Vermiculite and Eco Earth (75/25). From my experience, Peat Moss does cultivate molds very easily. Avoid any Evergreen woods (Cypress, Reptile Bark) inside of the enclosure. Evergreens contain natural insecticidal oils that can harm your Tarantula if exposed long enough. Isopods (rolly-polies, or pillbugs) are a good cleaner to keep in the substrate that will help reduce the risk of mold, but they require moisture. You need to watch out for mold in the tank as versicolors do not handle molt well.
|Crickets, meal worms, waxworms, super worms, Blaptica dubia or Blatta lateralis roaches. Please do not offer wild caught prey, as it may contain pesticides (and potential parasites) which can harm or kill your Tarantula. Also never feed your tarantula kingworms (giant meal worms) as these are mealvworms that have been fed juvenile growth hormones to prevent them from maturing so they grow bigger. JGH are a common insecticide and would not be good for your invertebrate tarantula! (I received this from a personal conversation with a cricket/worm breeder near me). Fruthermore, crickets and roaches are the best nutrition for tarantulas, and mealworms and superworms should be fed as treats, not as a staple. Finally, mice and other invertebrates are too high in calcium for tarantulas and need never be fed to them.
|My experience is that my Avic. versicolor is one of my thirstiest Ts, right up there with my Greenbottle Blue, so do not neglect their drinking needs. Make sure to offer a water bowl, the size should be half the size of the spider. Do not use any sponges, cotton balls or paper towel or water crystals inside of water bowl, just clean water. Small rocks may be added. If possible, mount the bowl higher in the tank rather than sitting it on the floor. I have hot-glued the bowl onto a branch halfway up the tank. Clean the water bowl once a week or when you feel it is necessary. Crickets or roaches may end up dead in the water, in which case you should clean it right away. Spiderlings are too small to have a water bowl, misting one side of the enclosure wall 1-2 times a week, should be plenty enough. Your tarantula will often fill the dish with substrate, or even poop in it, but continue to provide clean water. Also I periodically wet the substrate, allowing that to dry out completely to prevent mold growth. Moisture and humidity is important for this species, more so that other Avicularia species.
|Females can live up to 12 years, while males may live 3 years.
Maturity female:
|2-4 years depending on how often they are fed and how warm their enclosure is kept.
Maturity male/ Tibial Apophysis:
|1-2 years, which is only an estimate. / Yes, on first set of leg.
Communal Setup:
|Not recommended for this species, though they are known to be communal in the wild.
Color Markings:
|The Caribena versicolor tarantula is one of the most colorful tarantulas in the world. Slings are a bright blue, while adults have wine red or purple hairs on the legs and abdomen.Their base hairs on the legs may be a deep forest green, and their carapace (head) is bright blue or green. From my observation, there seems to be two varieties in the hobby one with a blue carapace, the other with a light green carapace. The green-carapaced versicolors have an amazing purple irridescence to the highlight hairs on the back legs and rump, while the blue variety versicolors have only a hint of that irridescence. This is a striking and beautiful tarantula. Also, the blue-carapaced individuals' carapace will turn green in high humidity. Colors are most vivid immediately after a molt.
Special Note:
|These tarantulas are moderately difficult to breed. Females lay cocoons containing roughly 50 to 100) eggs a few months after mating. Egg sacs should be left with mothers until they hatch on their own. Nymphs hatch 68 weeks later. Males should not be left with the females unattended as they may be eaten (thus preventing your chances of further breeding attempts). Make sure never to keep a tarantula enclosure directly in the sun. No light is necessary for your tarantula's habitat. Natural lighting is perfectly fine.

CITES List
|These are not on the CITES II list (as far as I can see), but captive-bred specimens are available.

This was by far one of the most violent taste tests we've had at Serious Eats world headquarters—we butchered off ears, cottontails, and hind legs, trying not to think too hard about former fluffy pets or Thumper. But hey, we needed to find the best of the hippity-hoppity chocolate Easter rabbits (and carving matzo wouldn't have been as fun).
We decided to go with milk chocolate (sorry dark chocolate, this isn't your day) and brands that were a few notches above the 99-cent kind at the drugstore around the corner. We chose places where we like the taste of their regular, non-lagomorpha chocolate. Note: This contains a NSFBunnyLovers photo. Check out the tasting results in our slideshow.
The Winners See's Candies Lindt
The Runners-up Frango Fran's Chocolates
The Best of the Cheapest Dove

How to Grow Your Startup and Scale Your Product Using Rigorous Research
Jun 17 2020
5:00 pm
60 mins
Robert J. Lewis, Ph.D.
A broad overview of basic research methods accessible to product-based businesses of all sizes. The discussion focuses on the most common and useful qualitative and quantitative research methods, and how to overcome each technique's individual disadvantages.
Participants will learn:
- How to define their business problem better, and choose the right method(s) to solve it.
- How to practically implement several very useful methods without the need for proprietary software.
- How to leverage the data they already have to find insightful patterns.
- Which methods are out there. Business leaders often do not realize there is a method that has been built specifically for their class of problem.
Having a broad understanding of the types of techniques that are out there (*and what they are for*) can be 90% of the battle.
About the speaker:
Robert J. Lewis, Ph.D. is a quantitative social scientist and software developer. His academic work in media psychology and entertainment has garnered more than 700 citations in his discipline. He has worked with multiple clients on various types of research problems, including Whatsmywine.com, Summery.ai, Crux Climbing Gym, and Rhu Collective. Additionally, he taught analytics and research methods to advertising students for seven years at The University of Texas at Austin.

3 Steps to Evolve Marketing Analytics from Manual to Autonomous
May 13 2020
5:00 pm
60 mins
Varun Kohli, Co-founder & Chief Business Officer, Stealth (Autonomous Intelligence) Startup
How many marketers could answer complex questions like "Which 2 campaigns are demonstrating more than 10% growth in number of opportunities quarter over quarter?"
Among the organizations we've surveyed, maybe two out of ten. 80% would have to wait for a data analyst to create a report, a very manual human-to-human process. What if a machine-to-human AI approach could deliver those insights in seconds and without any manual work or asking questions?
It's time to solve the "last-mile" problem of user adoption and reduce dependence on reports and dashboards. Join this session to learn how one CMO went from 13-months-prep-time-for-the-annual-report approach to:
Scaling BI and analytics tools beyond analysts to regular marketing users
Leveraging AI and ML to automatically surface and deliver business insights
Interacting with data through natural language audio-visuals instead of creating more reports and dashboards
Also, learn how the largest energy drink manufacturer, largest global pharmaceutical company, and the largest exporter of Californian wines are solving these challenges.

Rethinking Relevance: Making Content Count Amid Overwhelming Uncertainty
May 13 2020
3:00 pm
60 mins
Rob Leavitt, Senior Vice President, Consulting, ITSMA
Content marketing is never easy even in the best of times. B2B audiences have little time, little tolerance for anything but the most relevant and compelling material, and timing is everything (i.e., if it's not the right time, don't bother me!).
Today, of course, we're not exactly living through the best of times. Amid the onoing pandemic, B2B buyers are dealing with extreme market disruption and a fundamental rethink of where their businesses go next. Every industry and every account is different but overwhelming uncertainty is everyone's new normal.
In this context, how can we develop and deliver content that counts? What are our customers and prospects looking for, how can we know, and how can we be most helpful in this most stressful of times? We've already pivoted to deal with the lockdown; how should we think about content marketing for the rest of this year and beyond?
Join ITSMA's Rob Leavitt to explore what's working now and what's next for content marketing as we begin to shift from immediate responses to the COVID-19 crisis to the "next normal" of ongoing uncertainty. Rob will showcase effective new approaches and explore longer term guidelines for successful content marketing in a constantly changing environment.

Content that Connects: Accelerating Demand with C-Suite Content
Feb 12 2020
61 mins
Rob Leavitt, SVP, Consulting, ITSMA & Leslie Cozatt, Sr. Director, Integrated Marketing, C-Suite Audience Engagement, Optum
Absent compelling content, the most carefully designed campaigns fall flat. The challenge, of course, is that our customers and prospects are inundated with content and tune out all but the most timely and relevant material. And the C-suite audiences we all want to engage are the toughest of all.
Marketers obsess over the newest tools and channels (TikTok, anyone?) but what we say is at least as important as how we say it. Yes, we're all moving to more video and interactive (as well as back to direct mail), but how can we ensure that the core of our campaigns is substantive content that our audiences actually care about?
Crafting compelling content, especially for executive-level audiences, is no simple task. Join ITSMA's Rob Leavitt and Optum's Leslie Cozatt to explore what the most skeptical buyers are looking for and how the most successful marketers are developing and using C-suite thought leadership content to accelerate demand in the most challenging markets.

Great Campaigns Don't Chase: Demand Generation Starts with Knowing Your Audience
Feb 12 2020
36 mins
Keith Johnstone & Dennis Le, Contrast Digital Marketing
Simplify your demand generation process by breaking it down and focusing on the components that matter most. Dividing the process into 4 steps, you can create an effective demand generation strategy that will drive interested leads into your sales team's open arms. Rather than chasing potential customers down and selling them on the same value propositions you and all your competitors are using, consider what it will take to make them chase you.
· Define your audience
o Maximize the effectiveness of your campaigns by starting with understanding the needs your product satisfies, and who will benefit most
· Gather insights
o Consider how and where your audience spends their time to identify what their interests, needs, or parallel pain points they may suffer from are
· Demonstrate value
o Create compelling content that attracts them to you and demonstrates value – something that will make your audience say thank you
· Set the bait
o Lastly, use your content and leverage targeted marketing channels to drive leads to you
As General Manager of Contrast Digital, Keith directs all marketing activities and has a track record of successfully growing client revenues and lead volume quarter over quarter.

Why influencer marketing deserves its place in today's marketing mix
Feb 12 2020
33 mins
Jeanette Okwu, Co - Founder & CMO, 1nfluencersmarketing
The increasing role of digital and big data technologies in advertising has disrupted traditional ad agency business models. As advertisers consider how to confront these new challenges, a myriad of technology platforms can offer a variety of Ad/MarTech solutions.
Approaches like content marketing, reviews & recommendations, and social or influencer marketing are all considered viable ways to drive impact. But as advertising continues to decline, it's Influencer marketing ($10BN industry in 2020) that has shown the greatest potential to reverse the trend of ad-fatigue, use of ad-blocker technology, and changing consumer behaviours of the new digital and mobile-only generation.
Take one look at the media landscape, and the bold new pioneer on the horizon is Influencer Marketing. But while it's blazing new trails as the newest, boldest player in the advertising scene, it is often grossly misunderstood. Some point to its revolutionary successes. Others criticise its ineffectiveness. Leaving many with the perception that Influencer Marketing is simply a gleaming, glossy riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. Real observers know the truth: this pioneer has proven to be the only marketing discipline that delivers tangible consistent results for brands. And yet significant knowledge gaps on both the brand and creator sides keep the misconceptions alive.
Partnering with influencers is already familiar to us, but the market is undergoing constant change: Brands must continually evolve their strategies accordingly. The space is rapidly expanding as influencer types have proliferated and consequently fill every conceivable niche and sub-niche interest.
Each of these types offers distinct benefits and trade-offs for brands. But how to create a meaningful scalable program that folds into the entire marketing stack?
Here's how: with date, insights, and a human touch.

What's next in B2B Marketing: Looking beyond Inbound and ABM
Feb 12 2020
40 mins
Karthik Nair, Director of Demand Generation, JOOR
For every B2B marketer who ever wondered 'why should B2C marketers have all the fun?', the 2010's had all the answers. We got to learn frameworks such as inbound, ABM, conversational marketing, talk triggers and had access to technologies that helped us achieve those goals.
So, what's next? Evoking strong emotions among your users/prospects for your product is the future for B2B companies, and the Product Led Growth (PLG) framework, combined with building communities is how you get there. Marketers should look at adopting specific elements of PLG's framework whether you sell to SMBs, Mid-market or Enterprise businesses. PLG will soon become a basic expectation, like Inbound became a few years ago.
At the heart of PLG is the approach of giving users the ability to easily experience the product before the paywall and equip them to appreciate the value in the trial period or trial version. While companies have begun finding their stride with successful sales-marketing alignment, the stakes how now increased, the future is going to be about sales-marketing-product alignment.
Join this session for:
1. A quick introduction to PLG and how it will take you further along in the journey to higher personalization and higher organizational alignment
2. An approach to generating demand with traditional approaches, with some creative nuances, as you set yourself up for PLG
3. Build alignment with technology/product teams to structure data to move to PLG
4. A guide to building 'tribes' by connecting audiences with each other and with your company around theme of the problem you are solving for them
5. A recommended approach to structuring your team
6. Metrics you should track to measure performance

text: We're rolling through the Top 25 and getting ever closer to kickoff. Just one week from today. John Radcliff brings the West Virginia preview. John blogs about West Virginia at Mountain Lair and writes for FanHouse. Strengths Guns and Moonshine are plentiful, and the mountains create a natural barrier against invaders. Oh, football strengths? Guns and Moonshine are plentiful, and that gives opposing fans and teams an uneasy feeling from the moment they enter the state until the moment they leave. We're $4 million richer! Most of the dead weight is gone from last years coaching staff, but we really wish we could have kept Barwis. You laugh, but Mr. Rogers accepted a modest salary to ensure a significant upgrade at every assistant coaching position. He may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but he's smart enough to know he's not the brains of the operation. And he's smart enough to know that bubble screens = fail. Something DickRod couldn't wrap his rather large noggin around. And yeah, Pat White, Noel Devine, most of the receiving corps, and the five starting offensive linemen return. We also have a linebacker named John Holmes that is rather skilled at plugging holes. And South Florida comes to Morgantown in December this year, where it will be cold and miserable and they will not have a snowball's chance in hell of winning. Weaknesses Whiskey, ATV's, MILF's, and 28 point spreads. Sadly, Owen Schmitt has left the building. Instead of retiring his number, we retired the fullback position. Seriously, we've gone to the H-back. Because after him, what's the point? Also lost to graduation were 4 of our 5 starting defensive backs. Receiver Darius Reynaud and Defensive End Johnny Dingle left early so they could go undrafted and shine on someone's practice squad for a couple years until the truth sets in. Why this matters to you? No more Dingle-Berry pictures. So if you want a weakness for this year's team, it will be the defense. Rivalry Among older Mountaineer fans the saying goes, "Penn St. sucks, but Pitt swallows." Sadly, Penn St. isn't on the schedule anymore. You can point at the heated series that has developed between West Virginia and Louisville, or the fact that South Florida is the only Big East team with a winning record against the Mountaineers since the new Big East took shape. But neither of those are a drop in the bucket compared to the ocean of hate we have for Pitt. In a sense, Penn St. leaving for the Big 11 10 helped make this rivalry what it is today. Without an instate rival, both Pitt and West Virginia are free to direct their hatred at each other 365 days a year (yes Marshall, you suck so bad you can only be mentioned in parentheses). The leader of the hate squad for West Virginia always has been and always will be the Voice of the Mountaineer and the Pittsburg Steelers, Jack Fleming. You hear his voice every time you see a video of the Immaculate Reception. Like most West Virginia fans, Fleming was brought up to hate Pitt. "Jack Fleming's house was above the old stadium," Cook continued. "He told me, when he was a child, Pitt would come out on the field, and he would sit on his mother's lap. His mother would point down at them. And his mother would say, 'Son, that's Pitt. You hate Pitt now. You hate Pitt tomorrow. You hate Pitt until the day you die. After that, you will hate Pitt for eternity.' " As for Pitt, I don't know and I don't care. He's from Pitt and he swallows. That's all you really need to know.

Dear Annie: Years ago, Ann Landers published an essay about a woman who sees a stranger in the mirror. Can you reprint it? It's very apropos to what some of my friends and I are going through. — Northern California Girl
Dear Northern California: Here is an edited version of Rose Mula's piece, copyrighted in 1999. If you would like to read more of Rose's work, it is available at www.seniorwomen.com.
"The Stranger in My House" by Rose Madeline Mula
A very weird thing has happened. A strange old lady has moved into my house. I have no idea who she is, where she came from, or how she got in. I certainly did not invite her. All I know is that one day, she wasn't there, and the next day, she was.
She is a clever old lady, and manages to keep out of sight for the most part, but whenever I pass a mirror, I catch a glimpse of her. And whenever I look in the mirror to check my appearance, there she is, hogging the whole thing, completely obliterating my gorgeous face and body. This is very rude. I have tried screaming at her, but she just screams back.
If she insists on hanging around, the least she could do is offer to pay part of the rent, but no. Every once in a while, I find a dollar bill stuck in a coat pocket or some loose change under a sofa cushion, but it is not nearly enough.
I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I think she is stealing money from me. I go to the ATM and withdraw $100, and a few days later, it's all gone. I certainly don't spend money that fast, so I can only conclude the old lady is pilfering from me.
You'd think she would spend some of that money to buy wrinkle cream. Lord knows she needs it. And money isn't the only thing I think she is stealing. Food seems to disappear at an alarming rate — especially the good stuff like ice cream, cookies and candy. I can't seem to keep that stuff in the house anymore. She must have a real sweet tooth, but she'd better watch it, because she is really packing on the pounds. I suspect she realizes this, and to make herself feel better, she is tampering with my scale to make me think I am putting on weight, too.
For an old lady, she is quite childish. She likes to play nasty games, like going into my closets when I'm not home and altering my clothes so they don't fit. And she messes with my files and papers so I can't find anything. This is particularly annoying since I am extremely neat and organized. She also fiddles with my VCR so it does not record what I have carefully and correctly programmed.
She has found other imaginative ways to annoy me. She gets into my mail, newspapers and magazines before I do, and blurs the print so I can't read it. And she has done something really sinister to the volume controls on my TV, radio and telephone. Now, all I hear are mumbles and whispers.
She has done other things — like make my stairs steeper, my vacuum cleaner heavier and all my knobs and faucets harder to turn. She even made my bed higher so that getting into and out of it is a real challenge. Lately, she has been fooling with my groceries before I put them away, applying glue to the lids, making it almost impossible for me to open the jars. Is this any way to repay my hospitality?
She has taken the fun out of shopping for clothes. When I try something on, she stands in front of the dressing room mirror and monopolizes it. She looks totally ridiculous in some of those outfits, plus, she keeps me from seeing how great they look on me.
Just when I thought she couldn't get any meaner, she proved me wrong. She came along when I went to get my picture taken for my driver's license, and just as the camera shutter clicked, she jumped in front of me! No one is going to believe that the picture of that old lady is me.

text: National Aquarium, Baltimore received a RBC Blue Water Project Leadership Grant to fund its Chesapeake Bay Initiative (CBI). The $130,000 USD grant represents the largest grant ever received from a corporation that is specifically designated to support the Aquarium's conservation efforts. National Aquarium's Chesapeake Bay Initiative (CBI) is a nationally recognized program that fosters partnerships with local communities to protect and restore habitats in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Each year, CBI recruits hundreds of citizen volunteers and local students to engage in restoring tidal habitats through planting events. "The majority of our visitors live in the Chesapeake Bay watershed and support from the Blue Water Project enhances our ability to educate and involve our communities in restoring and protecting the Bay, which is the largest and one of the most diverse estuaries in the U.S.," said Bob Ramin, National Aquarium VP/Chief Development Officer/Executive Director NADC Washington. "Wetlands are an important element of all watershed ecosystems as they provide critical habitat for wildlife, protect coasts from storms and flooding, and act as natural sponges that filter pollutants and improve water quality." Wetlands in the Chesapeake Bay are being lost at an alarming rate as a result of coastal development, rising sea levels, and damage from non-native species. According to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, an estimated 10,500 acres have been lost in the last 150 years along the middle-eastern portion alone. CBI helps restore and protect wetland habitats, increasing public awareness of watershed issues and providing watershed stewardship actions for citizen volunteers, youth, and community groups. Grant funding will be focused in three areas – urban restoration and stewardship programs to improve water quality in tributaries to the Patapsco River and Chesapeake Bay; forest restoration and student education projects at Nassawango Creek Nature Preserve; and the Terrapin in the Classroom project, which takes place in 30 Maryland schools and at an Aquarium restoration site on Poplar Island. National Aquarium is one of 30 organizations from five countries that are being awarded grants for programs that help protect watersheds and improve access to clean drinking water. RBC's 2012 grant recipients work on a wide range of projects involving water restoration, conservation, management and education. "RBC and the National Aquarium share a commitment to protecting local watersheds," said John Taft, CEO, RBC Wealth Management-U.S. "We are happy to continue our partnership with the Aquarium and fund the important work of the Chesapeake Bay Initiative." National Aquarium has worked in partnership with RBC Wealth Management and the RBC Blue Water Project since 2009. It was the recipient of three Community Action Grants that helped to support conservation projects at Poplar Island, Fort McHenry, and Westport Academy. The Leadership Grant will be formally presented by RBC Wealth Management CEO John Taft at a private event hosted by RBC Wealth Management at the National Aquarium on September 20, 2012. Taft is the author of Stewardship: Lessons Learned from the Lost Culture of Wall Street, which explores the importance of stewardship as a core principle. Categories: Conservation

Build and Command Objects-Using Design Patterns
"A software design pattern, the Builder pattern is used to enable the creation of a variety of complex objects from one source object. The source object may consist of a variety of parts that contribute individually to the creation of each complex object through a set of common interface calls of the Abstract Builder class."
"In computer programming, Command Pattern is a Design Pattern: a standard solution to a common problem in software design. The Command Pattern encapsulates invocation and allows code that causes actions to be initiated to be separated from code that performs those actions."
Wikipedia online
In the software development world, many projects involve complex architectures, multi-tier frameworks. and extensive planning. Yet, simple design patterns are some how overlooked. The design patterns that simplify overall flow of the information in the project or emphasize logic reuse will achieve wonders if implemented correctly. Many projects are designed to include enterprise scale patterns such as Model View Controller (MVC) or Data Access Object (DAO), but simple patterns such as Singleton or Visitor may never even be considered.
It is as if project architects think that some "buzzword" patterns are enterprise material and others are not worth considering. The benefit of the less known, but equally useful, patterns is sometimes greater than from the more popular ones.
I am not saying that all design patterns should be used in a project, or even considered. All patterns have a specific problem space that they address. However, I do believe that careful planning of the design phase of an enterprise-scale application should include several fine-grained patterns that deal with logic, data, or its flow.
This article will deal with two often overlooked or underused design patterns: one creational Builder pattern and one a behavioral Command pattern. I will explore their application in the software architecture process, describe the purpose of these patterns, and show how they can be used in real-world Java projects.
Builder Pattern
Builder is one of the "easier-to-understand-and-difficult-to-find-use-for" patterns. But, with some practice, even novice architects can begin to reuse this pattern. It is a creational pattern; that places it in the same category as a "factory" or "singleton," but its intent as stated in the original "gang of four" book is to "separate the construction of a complex object from its representation so that the same construction process can create different representations."
What this really means is that this pattern is very useful at daisy-chaining some actions to take one object and transform it into another, to change its properties or appearance. Applications for this little concept are infinite, from parsers of data to modification of Swing GUI objects models.
Imagine a situation, in an enterprise application, where data is coming in real time and needs to be processed, formatted, and displayed. A stream of market data, for example, would have ticket symbols, "bid" and "ask" prices, and volume information. Every part of the incoming data represents a different number or character value and needs to be parsed or formatted accordingly. Monetary data needs a "$" in front and ticker symbol needs to be uppercased, for instance.
Builder pattern takes initial data (or object) and transforms it by a set of methods defined in a public interface. The concrete classes that implement "builder" interface are required to accept the same type of object and perform the same API call.
The specific business rules that those concrete builders follow must be implemented in the public methods exposed by the interface.Here is a sample interface that has one method "build" and takes an Object type and returns an Object type. In this example, I'm using a very generic Object and assuming that a Sting type will be passed in, but any types could be used.
public interface Builder { Object build(Object o); }
A concrete class would have its logic implemented in the "build" method it overwrites:
public class SimpleBuilder implements Builder { public Object build(Object o) { if (o instanceof String){ o = ((String)o).toUpperCase(); } return o; } }
Therefore, any feasible operation can be done on the object of the correct type. As I mentioned, the powerful feature of this pattern is that several concrete builders can be daisy chained together. A complex concrete builder can take several concrete builder objects, put them in a list, and traverse through them. Each Builder in the list will execute a "build" action on the passed-in object.
public class ComplexBuilder implements Builder { private ArrayList builders = new ArrayList(); public void add(Builder b) { this.builders.add(b); } public Object build(Object o) { Object tempObj = null; for (int i = 0; i < this.builders.size(); i++) { Builder builder = (Builder) builders.get(i); o = builder.build(o); } return o; } }
Please see the source code for the executable example.
Here is a UML representation of this pattern.
Even though the concept is simple, the places to apply this pattern could be difficult to find when designing an enterprise application. To see where to use this pattern, architects need to look for instances in the design where data or objects are created or modified. Builder can be applied where something is morphed from smaller parts into a final product. Most text formatting for onscreen presentation that involves several steps, such as concatenations, lower or upper case conversion, numeric formatting, and so forth, can benefit from this pattern. See the included source for an example.

In an increasingly popular Facebook campaign initiated by an Israeli family, Israeli and Iranian citizens are expressing mutual respect and a hope for peace between the two countries.
The campaign was started by an Israeli couple, graphic designers Ronnie Edri and Michal Tamir, who began posting poster-messages on Facebook expressing love for Iranians in a bid to "cut across the growing anxiety and fear over the possibility of an Israel-Iran war, and address Iranian citizens directly".
A group of Iranians reciprocated with a response solidarity campaign stating, "We love you, Israeli people! The Iranian people do not like war with any country," via a poster uploaded to Facebook.
The posts have gathered hundreds of followers and responses on Facebook.
* * *
Israel 'Hearts' Iran: Peace Campaign Takes Off on Facebook (The Envoy):
Amid rising fears of an Israeli strike on Iran, an Israeli couple's lonely peace bid has become a surprise hit on Facebook. [...]
So they uploaded to Facebook posters featuring smiling photos of themselves—ordinary Israeli citizens with their children—pledging their love for the Iranian people and assuring everyone that Israel will not bomb Iran. "Iranians, we will never bomb your country, we [heart] you," the posters, featuring smiling families, say.
Never Miss a Beat.

"I'm not an official representative of my country," Edri wrote in his Facebook post to the Iranian people, explaining that he's just a father and a teacher, Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported Monday. And continued: "We love you. We mean you no harm. On the contrary, we want to meet, have some coffee and talk about sports."
Most surprisingly, the "Israeli hearts Iran" peace offering has now been met by an "Iranians love Israel" return solidarity campaign on Facebook. "We love you, Israeli people! The Iranian people do not like war with any country," a poster uploaded to Facebook states. [...]
"I thought that when you're constantly surrounded by talk of threats and war, you are so stressed and afraid that you crawl into a sort of shell," Edri told Haaretz Monday. "So I thought, 'Why not try to reach the other side; to bypass the generals and see if they [Iranians] really hate me?'"
* * *
Israeli-Iranian Solidarity Exchange Sweeps Facebook (+972):
The couple told "The Marker" they had received hundreds of private messages from Iranians saying they were deeply moved by the campaign.
So what does it all mean? Quite simply, that neither party has any appetite for a war right now. As an Iranian first strike on Israel is not even on the cards right now, Iranian opposition to war may come as no surprise. But it's important to stress the Israeli opposition to war reflected above is also far from an abstract "make love not war" one. A recent survey found a whopping 50 percent of Israelis were totally opposed to an attack on Iran, even if the diplomatic efforts to stall the nuclear program failed. 43 supported the move, but 78 percent of those surveyed recognised that even a successful attack would at best delay Iran's acquisition of an A-Bomb by a few years. Only 16 percent believed such an attack would wipe out the Iranian nuclear program for good. An earlier survey that specifically asked if Israel should attack on Iran on its own found 65 percent of Israelis were opposed.

by Sarah Bartlett Borich '02- Cedarville, OH
Believe it or not, one Cedarville University alumnus is attempting to use footwear to change the world.
Cody Fisher '06 lives in northern Iraq and works for Millennium Relief and Development, a non-governmental organization in the Kurdistan region. Recently, he and a friend created a unique business—Buy Shoes, Save Lives. They're working together with local businesses to export their handmade shoes throughout the world. The shoes are called klash and, according to some accounts, the Kurds have been making them since about 600 BC.
The idea was born when Fisher and a friend made a short, documentary-style film about how the shoes were made. They began to wonder if there might be a market for exporting klash to other countries. Often frustrated by financial barriers when trying to fund their humanitarian efforts in Iraq, they became hopeful that selling the shoes might boost the struggling local economy as well as contribute toward relief efforts.
With the business up and running, Fisher and his friend are using as much of the proceeds as they can (and 100% of the profits) to help Iraqi children in need of heart surgery. Iraq has one of the highest percentages of heart disease among children, with many dying from causes that could be easily addressed with access to the proper medical care. Buy Shoes, Save Lives is working with an organization called Shevet Achim to send the children to Jordan for the surgeries they need.
"This is not only saving kids' lives," Fisher says, "it's building bridges between the Arab world, where the kids are from, and the Jewish world, where they receive the help they need."
Online at Buy Shoes, Save Lives you can place an order, watch the short film, download promotional materials, or catch up on the company's blog. You can also contact Cody Fisher by email.

North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il says he's prepared to return to six-party nuke disarmament talks if his country makes progress in negotiations with the U.S.
Kim reportedly told Chinese Premier Wen Jibao in a Monday meeting that the North's relations with the U.S. "should be converted into peaceful ties through bilateral talks without fail," The Associated Press reported.
Despite the softening rhetoric, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported Monday evening that North Korea is nearly finished restoring its Yongbyon nuclear complex, a process that has been ongoing for the better portion of the year.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
"We have obtained indications that point to restoration work being in the final stages," the South Korean government source told Yonhap, according to Reuters. "The work to restore nuclear facilities at Yongbyon has been ongoing since early this year."

What I'm Wearing
skirt: vintage
sweater: vintage
purse: vintage
shoes: vintage
hair clip: made by me
This cream cable knit sweater is my favorite find from my vintage shopping trip this week. I actually found it among some little girl's clothes but I'm not really convinced that's where it belonged. It super soft and snuggly (is that a word?) and the perfect piece to transition from hot summer days to cooler autumn temperatures. I'll be wearing it with high waisted skirt like this one but I think I'd also like to try it layered over a long sleeve shirt with skinny jeans and boots.

I received an genuine Arduino UNO R3 today from Newegg->CE Compass. I connected it to my laptop USB and 2 of the 'reddest' led's came on, and the unfamiliar 'connection failure' sound effect as well. I thought 'new defective'! After a bit I hopped into the device manager and saw this new 'unknown device'.Sure enough, I had to re-run the driver update dialog. It DID recognize this weird UNO R3, runs the examples, but it still HAS RED LEDS! Is this a new run?
Well, I guess I can't prove you are the 'genuine' Lefty either. However, the device came in a bulk pack, much like what I've come to think is the OEM method of shipping hard drives, memory chips et al. The back of the 'Genuine UNO' has 0119494v-0 in the upper right hand corner. This one does not. Everything else (component p/n's, silkscreening, made in Italy, matches. Certainly a price performer and a more authentic feel than the OSEPP clone.
Well, excuse me for posting.
Your 'tone' was condescending, and I don't think that's what is intended on the forum.
However, the device came in a bulk pack, much like what I've come to think is the OEM method of shipping ...

This bridge is a vast improvement over the vintage standard Gibson® Tune-o-matic bridge! The free end of these intonation screws are secured on a rivet, not with a flimsy retainer wire, so the saddles will not pop out when changing strings! This bridge has a string spread of 2-3/64"(52mm). This bridge is commonly used with our matching Stop Tail Piece. Works for both right handed and left handed bodies.
A neck pocket angle of 1-1/2 to 3 degrees is necessary for proper operation. On a new Warmoth Body purchase, we can rout the correct angle in the neck pocket for just $10.00.
If you supply us with the studs and inserts or purchase a bridge on the same order as your body, we can install the inserts and studs including ground wire for just $10.00.
NOTE: There are many versions of this type of bridge system available with a near equal number of stud diameters and spacing. If you are using this as a replacement bridge, please double check the dimensions to be absolutely sure it will fit.
Insert holes are drilled .430" (10.92 mm) diameter to match these inserts. Notice that the bass side of the Tune-o-Matic is pulled back to accommodate intonation setting.
On Flat Top bodies only we offer a recessed rout for our Gotoh Tune-O-Matic or TonePros Tune-O-Matic with a choice of 3 string-through patterns. The strings go through our top-string-through ferrules and anchor in our standard guitar string ferrules in the back of the body.
Due to the bridge recess, a neck pocket angle is not required.
Three different String-Through patterns to choose from!
