From Caller Times
A Nueces County jury that acquitted a man who shot Corpus Christi police officers executing a raid on his home said a "botched" operation and contradicting testimony led to their decision.
The jurors' verdict frees Ray Rosas, who was jailed since the Feb. 19, 2015, shooting at his home in the 3000 block of Churchill Drive near Del Mar College.
Rosas' elderly and handicapped mother cried as defense lawyer Gabi Canales told her in Spanish after the verdict was read that her son would be going home.
Jurors explained their reasoning to prosecutors and defense lawyers afterward.
"What did it for a lot of jurors, I think, is that the officers didn't seem credible. Their stories didn't match … and it kind of made us feel like if they're lying about this what else are they lying about?" a female juror said. Jurors referred to the officers' differing testimonies about what Rosas said and how he acted when police restrained him. Some officers described him as aggressive and directing profanity toward the police. Other officers said he was cooperative and told them he didn't know they were law enforcement.
Police were executing a drug related warrant on Rosas' nephew who lived in the family home at the time. They used a flash bang, a tool meant to distract officers' target, through Rosas' bedroom window before breaking into the house.
Rosas shot at officers, striking three. Officers Steven Ruebelmann, Steven Brown and Andrew Jordan were hospitalized and survived. Rosas was indicted on three counts of attempted capital murder and four counts of the lesser charge of aggravated assault on a public servant.
Prosecutors dropped the attempted capital murder charges Monday after resting their case on Friday and another aggravated assault case naming another officer.
Rosas' defense lawyers – Canales, Lisa Greenberg and Terry Shamsie – spent the four-day trial arguing Rosas was hit by the device. Rosas, who did not take the stand, has said his hearing and vision were impacted by the flash bang and he didn't know the intruders were police.
Jurors agreed.
"I believe the distraction device distracted him from hearing the officers," a male juror said.
Jurors also challenged some of the tactics used or missing during the raid. They asked why there wasn't video from a body camera or the SWAT vehicle. They questioned why police didn't survey the house hours before going in and were surprised officers didn't make sure the person the warrant named was in the house before the raid.
They also said they were bothered one of the charges Rosas was indicted on was for a gunshot that tore through Officer Ross Murray's pant leg. Officers testified the bullet came from Ruebelmann's gun. Greenberg asked why, then, Ruebelmann wasn't facing the same charge as Rosas.
Opinion: No-Knock Warrants have often come under scrutiny and presented a legal dilemma. On one hand, the power to execute a no-knock warrant gives the police an element of surprise they would be missing if they had to first knock on the door and ask to come in.
On the other hand, the no-knock warrant puts the cops in the position of appearing to be armed intruders in a person's home.
In this case, the warrant being executed was for Rosas' nephew. The police hadn't even confirmed that the person was in the house before they broke in to the house to execute the warrant.
In a split second, being woken from your sleep, even if the police are identifying themselves, how can one reliably expect that a person could process that these were police, and not armed home invaders, bursting into their home? Add on to that the flash grenades and you've got the making of a chaotic situation, which is the ultimate reason this man was found not guilty, even though he shot three cops.
The lesson learned here is this, if you're going to execute no-knock warrants, don't be surprised if the person's home you enter doesn't shoot at you. There is a price to be paid for that surprise advantage, and the price could be paid by both sides of the confrontation.

Maharshi Vyasa
In ancient days, our forefathers, the Rishis of Aryavartha, went to the forest to do Tapasya during the four months following Vyasa Purnima—a particular and important day in the Hindu calendar. On this memorable day, Vyasa, an incarnation of the Lord Himself, began to write his Brahma Sutras. Our ancient Rishis did this Tapasya in caves and forests. But times have changed and such facilities are not common nowadays although Grihasthas and Rajas are not wanting who are able and willing to place at the disposal of the members of the fourth Ashrama such help and facilities as they can afford. The forests and caves have given place to the rooms of Sadhus in their own Gurudwaras and Mutts. One has of necessity to suit himself to time and place; and change of place and situation should not be allowed to make such a difference in our mental attitudes. Chaturmas begins from the Vyasa Purnima Day when, according to our Shastras, we are expected to worship Vyasa and the Brahmavidya Gurus and begin the study of the Brahma Sutras and other ancient books on 'wisdom'.

Remember when Farmington adolescents undergoing orthodontic treatment were mortified by their metal mouth? Thankfully, for most young men and women, those days are over. Many Farmington teens of today wear their braces proudly and make no effort to hide them. They know they don't need to wait until their teeth are aligned to flaunt a striking smile; they enjoy flashing their brightly-colored braces in all their glory.
Another plus? Just as they mix and match their clothes and shoes, teens can change their wires and bands every time they visit their Kirtland dentist or orthodontist. Braces have become another fun way for fashion-forward Bloomfield and Rio Rancho teens to express their personality.
Of course, there are still some kids (and many adults!) that are not thrilled about having metallic fuchsia bands and neon yellow wires adorning their teeth. Discrete Invisalign aligners are virtually undetectable and can straighten teeth just as quickly and effectively as metal braces. Another benefit of the Invisalign system is that the aligners are not permanently attached to the teeth. Invisalign aligners are easily slipped out for brushing, flossing, meals, and sports. If your Farmington child plays a musical instrument that defies traditional braces, removable aligners may be the best option.
If you or one of your children need orthodontic treatment in the Farmington area, call Sundance Dental & Orthodontics at 505-985-5626 to schedule a consultation with Michael Tornow. Sundance Dental & Orthodontics is located at 6588 E Main St in Farmington.
We provide comprehensive restorative and cosmetic dentistry including IV sedation dentistry, cosmetic dentistry and dental implants. If you need affordable state-of-the-art dental care in Farmington, let us tell you about our financing options.
Whatever your age, if you want to straighten your teeth while making a fashion statement, don't hesitate to get bands to match every outfit in your closet!

Barefoot's Beachside Bar & Grill
Come Barefoot, Leave Blissful
One of the most popular dining spots at Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa is Barefoot's Beachside Bar & Grill. As its name suggests, this restaurant overlooks the resort's stunning beach, with its bright white sand and emerald green water. It's also a place guests can comfortably enjoy while barefoot.
Barefoot's is housed in a large, open-air space with both outdoor and covered seating. It's located adjacent to the resort's two outdoor pools as well as to the beachfront sunbathing deck. Barefoot's offers an amazing, unobstructed view of the Gulf of Mexico, friendly service and a festive atmosphere.
The restaurant's menu features delicious casual fare and an array of creative cocktails. The salads include Citrus Grilled Shrimp Salad and Fresh Catch or Grouper Salad. The appetizer list features Chicken Quesadillas, Chicken Fingers, Smoked Tuna Dip and Hungry Man's Ultimate Nachos, made with fresh, house-made chili and hot queso. Raw bar items include Oysters on the Half Shell, Peel-and-eat Shrimp and Snow Crab Clusters. Entrees include burgers, hot dogs, wraps, fresh fish sandwiches and fried shrimp. Barefoot's also has a gluten-free menu featuring nachos, raw bar items, salads, and grilled seafood, shellfish and chicken.

The drink list is extensive, with Beachview Favorites including High Tide (Three Olives Vodka, Flor de Caña Rum, El Jimador Tequila, Triple Sec, Amaretto, Pineapple, Cranberry & Citrus Juices) and Beach Brella (360 Vodka, Melon Liqueur, Peach Schnapps, Raspberry Liqueur, Cranberry & Pineapple Juice).
The drink menu also includes several different frozen drink creations, a large beer selection and non-alcoholic options like sweet tea and juices.
Guests can watch sports on several flat-screen TVs surrounding the outdoor bar portion of the restaurant, and when the weather is cool, they are welcome to sit by Barefoot's fire pit to roast marshmallows.

Barre Body was founded by the husband and wife team of Jessika Munnell and Andrew Gowans. We offer innovative and challenging Barre classes and superfood nutrition products.
Part of optimal wellness is fitness. With over 20 years experience in the health & fitness industry and having owned yoga studios in Cape Town and Colorado, we decided to sell those studios and explore a different path. On a purely physical level the fusion of Pilates, ballet barre work, light weights and cardio seemed to offer a more rounded approached to fitness. We moved to Los Angeles so that Jessika could study Barre. A year later we returned to Cape Town to open South Africa's first Barre studios in 2012. We now have studios in Claremont and Green Point, Cape Town and Rivonia and Illovo in Johannesburg.
Living and working on an organic farm on the north shore of Maui, Hawaii changed our lives. There was something about getting our hands dirty growing our own food that changed the way we lived. It was there on that windswept island that we decided to start our own organic, plant based nutritional shake business. We both loved the way we felt when eating real organic foods from the farm. The problem is that by the time produce gets to the stores it is not the same as what we were eating on the farm. Questionable organic farming practices and harvesting and delivery delays often result in products with poor nutrition quality.
The idea was born to seek out high quality superfood that we could take with us – our meal replacement shake is the result of a year of research and testing. We now have something that gives us the same nutritional super charge as that organic food we grew on the farm on Maui. All of our products are made by us in small batches.

Library Management and Its Impact on Dysfunctional Staff
Evil reigns when good men fail to act.

Library literature abounds with advice on handling the difficult library patron (Willis, 1999; Sarkodie-Mensah, 2002; Schott, 2009). Holt and Holt (2005) even recommend retaining counsel and using legal language when writing policies to control patron behavior. And yet, customers may account for fifteen minutes of unpleasantness on an irregular basis; a dysfunctional employee, by contrast, may be an eight hour daily nightmare.

According to Diverse Issues in Education, African American male librarians represent less than .05 percent of all professional librarians (Rogers, 2008).

A recent study published by librarian and scholar Kaetrena Davis-Kendrick indicates that the percentage of African American male librarians among African American librarians is still less than 10 percent (Davis-Kendrick, 2009).

WIN's 5k Glow Run is an exciting race for both the avid and the novice. For the novice the race is less about how fast you run and more about enjoying the glowing experience and course with your friends and family. For the avid racer the course is an excellent way to have your best run timed. This race sees participants of all different speeds, ages, shapes and sizes ready to GLOW! So whether you are a casual walker or an avid runner "The Glow Run for the WIN" invites you to be part of the FUN!
Why Glow Run for the WIN? Alarming statistics indicate that, as you read this short sentence, a woman has become the victim of assault. According to the Partnership Against Domestic Violence, every 9 seconds, another woman in the U.S. is beaten. It's a sobering reality that 1 in 4 women in our country will experience domestic violence in her lifetime, most of these victims between the ages of 20-24. Domestic Violence has generational implications too. Girls who witness domestic violence and don't receive help are more likely to enter an abusive relationship as a teen.

|PDC World Championship Darts
Cover for PDC World Championship Darts, with all 10 professionals shown
|Mere Mortals
|PlayStation 2, PC
|PlayStation 2
|Single-player, multiplayer
PDC World Championship Darts is a sports video game, published by Oxygen Interactive and developed and designed by Mere Mortals. It was released for the PlayStation 2 and PC. The game features ten professionals from the Professional Darts Corporation, and five tournaments from the PDC circuit. A sequel was produced the following year, PDC World Championship Darts 2008.
The game chiefly attempts to recreate playing real Darts through the functions of the controller and the rules set within the game. A variety of modes are also available for play.
See also Playing darts and Scoring for full rules
The game almost exactly follows the rules of the classic 501 darts game. Two professionals (one or two controlled by the player) throw darts onto the dartboard to decrease their score to 0, but they must end with a double. The only exception is the World Grand Prix where players must also start with a double. The dartboard's numbers are positioned just as they are in real darts.
Each player throws 3 darts at a time before the next player takes his turn. In standard rules, whoever reaches 0 first has won the leg. Varying amounts of legs comprise sets, a certain amount of which must be gained to win the match.
After aiming where they want to throw with the right analog stick, the player uses the left analog stick on the DualShock 2 or keyboard to pull back their dart and increase the power behind the throw. In 'Amateur' mode the power can be seen with a red bar that fills a power meter; in 'Professional' mode this aid is not present and the power can be seen via the movement of the character's arm. Once the desired amount of power is reached, pushing forward on the analog stick will throw the dart. Any deviation to the left or right while throwing the dart will also affect the dart's flight.
There are numerous modes of play within the game. Aside from a simple Exhibition between one or two players, a single player can also create his own character and begin a career to become the world's best dart player. Another mode allows any of the tournaments in career mode to be played individually.
Party Games
There are 10 party games available to play for between 2 and 4 players. Instead of using the usual control style where the player manually aims and adjusts their power, all of these games must be played in one of three control mechanisms that generally involve the player confirming where they want to throw at just the right time as the aiming cursor moves around the board. This is to suit the sort of games that party mode contains:
- Standard rules - Players utilise the different control mechanism to reach zero from scores of 301, 501, or 701. They must check out on a double
- Black and White - Player 1 aims for white numbers, Player 2 for black. Players take turns to throw 3 darts at their target number, scoring 1, 2, and 3 points respectively for singles, doubles, and trebles
- Cricket - See article for rules
- Fives - Players throw 3 darts aiming for a score divisible by 5. If they do they get a fifth of the score in points. Whoever scores 50 points first is the winner
- Killer - Each player has a 'life number'. Every time a player hits their life number they gain a life; when a player obtains 3 lives they become the Killer. The Killer can use their darts to aim for the opposing player's life number, thereby killing them
- Knockout - Players begin the game with 3 lives. They take turns to throw 3 darts at the board, aiming to achieve a higher score than the previous player. If the player fails in this, they lose a life; the game is lost if all lives are lost
- Odd Man In - Players throw 3 darts at the board aiming for an odd score higher than 10. As soon as they fail to do this they are out of the game
- Round the Clock - Players hit each numbered section in turn, from 1 to 20. The first to reach 20 is the winner. Variations include reverse Round the Clock and hitting the doubles and trebles of each number
- Shanghai - The players throw 3 darts at a board aiming to hit the single, double, and treble of the same number with those three darts. The winner is the first player to successfully do so
- Twenty One - Players take turns to throw 3 darts aiming for 10 and 11. A single on either number scores 1 point, a double 2 points, and a treble 3 points. They are only awarded points when at least one dart each hits both the 10 and 11. First player to reach 21 points is the winner
Ten professionals were included within the game (listed along with their achievements at the time of production):
- Phil Taylor - 'The Power' - Sixteen-time World Champion and arguably the greatest player of all time
- Raymond van Barneveld - 'The Man/Barney' - Five-time World Champion, including 2007, the year the game coincided with. One of Holland's greatest darts players.
- John Part - 'Darth Maple' - Two-time World Champion (1994, 2003) and Canada's greatest darts player
- Dennis Priestley - 'The Menace' - Two-time World Champion (1991, 1994).The first ever winner of a PDC World Championship (1994)
- Colin Lloyd - 'Jaws' - World Matchplay Champion (2005) and World Grand Prix (2004) champion
- Peter Manley - 'One Dart' - Las Vegas Desert Classic champion (2003) and three-time World Championship finalist (1999, 2002, 2006)
- Alan Warriner-Little - 'The Iceman' - World Grand Prix champion (2001)
- Mark Dudbridge - 'Flash' - World Championship finalist (2005)
- Wayne Mardle - 'Hawaii 501' - World Championship semi-finalist (2004, 2005, 2006)
- Adrian Lewis - 'Jackpot' - World Matchplay semi-finalist and Taylor's protégé
Five official PDC tournaments were included within the game. They can be played individually or chronologically as in Career mode, and tournament progress can be saved between rounds. All tournaments are standard 501 double-out games except where noted.
- PDC World Darts Championship - The most prestigious tournament. Six rounds of set play as the first player to win 3 legs wins a set
- PDC World Grand Prix - Players are required to hit a double to begin as well as to end the leg. Five rounds of set play with 3 legs to win a set
- Las Vegas Desert Classic - Five rounds, the first round being first to 11 legs while the remaining four are set play format with 5 legs required to win a set
- PDC UK Open - Eight rounds of 301 games. The tournament is matchplay format ranging from first to 5 legs to first to 17 legs in the final
- Holland Open - Five rounds played in matchplay format ranging from first to 3 legs in the opening round to first to 15 legs in the final

Pests in any form can be bothersome and a nuisance to both humans and their property. One of the most common and most dangerous pests in St. George, Utah is the black widow spider. New technology Pest management is the best way to get black widow spiders out and keep them out of your home. It is important to know that black widow spiders can be very lethal, don't risk your family or children's health by allowing these spiders to lurk in your home.
We do not recommend the old fashioned and health hazardous way of dealing with spiders in St. George, UT.

Modern exterminators have access to scientific pest products that are designed specifically for spiders and are much safer. Plus this new technology is colorless and odorless and you typically do not need to leave the house making it not only safer pest control but also more convenient pest control.

Cogent Products of Hampton
by Colleen Lent
Hampton Union, December 9, 2003[The following article is courtesy of the Hampton Union and Seacoast Online.]
Staff photo by Jackie Ricciardi
Owner: David Allen
Address: 4 Merrill Industrial Drive, Hampton
Phone: 758-1150
Web Address: www.cogentproducts.com
In November 2002, the entrepreneur launched Cogent Products, a virtual development, production, and fulfillment service firm, after using some aluminum tent poles to develop the Helper's Handle Push Bar for his son Jackson's bicycle.
During Exeter downtown strolls with Jackson, a graduate from a tricycle to a bicycle with training wheels, Allen and his wife Teryn found themselves hunched over pushing or holding their son's bicycle. Sometimes, Jackson was tuckered and needed an engine boost from Mom and Dad. Other times, he was approaching busy intersections and needed a personal traffic safety officer or two by his side.
"It was rather scary," Allen said. Yet, the adjustable and attachable Helper's Handle solved the safety issue without giving Jackson's parents a backache.
"The parents in the neighborhood were quite impressed," Allen said. Within 14 months, Allen found himself researching manufacturing options and the market potential for his patent-pending invention. It eventually led to the production of 5,000 units distributed through traditional brick and mortar, online, and mail order retailers. The opening of Cogent Products, offering a host of services to fellow inventors, soon followed.
Currently, Allen is working with four inventors to research and potentially launch their own products. A non-disclosure agreement prevents him from discussing the details of the relationships. Instead, Allen talked about the consultation process and shared advice for fellow entrepreneurs.
During the first conversation with a prospective client, Allen is candid, citing studies revealing the tiny percentage of ideas graduating to the product patenting and licensing stages. He was quick to mention that many Internet and television invention promotion firms sketch a rosier picture with one hand while reaching for money with the other. "Unscrupulous promoters take advantage of an inventor's enthusiasm for a new product or service," reads an excerpt from the Federal Trade Commission's Web site. "They not only urge inventors to patent their ideas, but they also make false and exaggerated claims about the market potential of the invention."
Conversely, Allen said he's much like a prosecutor trying a case. "I try to poke as many holes in the product as possible," he said. "I'll sit and chew on it for a day." Allen said there are a host of questions the inventor needs to answer before thinking about production, distribution, and patenting. How well thought out is the plan? Can objections be addressed? Does the product have a broad appeal? Is there a willingness to modify the invention if necessary? Are there similar items on the market? "Basically, it's linear logic," Allen said. "You can't go to point B if you haven't gone past A." Allen said it's critical to scrutinize an idea from every angle before investing any money on attempting to bring it to fruition.
If a product idea passes the initial screening phase, Allen then discusses his services, which range from researching market feasibility, to finding raw materials sources, to designing packaging, to establishing fulfillment and distribution channels, to providing warehouse space. "It's very much of a menu, a la carte system," Allen said. He said an hourly fee structure allows the client to maintain control of their invention and finances.
As Allen reflected on the recent transition from owning Sweet Flours, a bakery in Hampton, to launching a research and development facility, he said there are common denominators in the two diverse businesses. He said both require careful planning and use of local business counseling resources. Allen recommended consulting with non-profit organizations, such as SCORE and the Seacoast Business Alliance, and drafting a formal business plan. "You don't want to blindly throw out darts and hope they hit," Allen said.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
When I started on this costume, I was going to try something I didn't do often and that was work on one piece at a time instead of working on multiple pieces at the same time. First thing that came to the plate was the under shirt, then the skirt, then the vest, which was probably the most time consuming of all the pieces, and even then, I'm not happy with it since I need to fit the vest better.
This is an incredibly comfortable costume to wear.

The quality of the candidates you have sent in, has been great; and consistently too; years of experience has told me to expect the odd rough candidate, but this has simply not been the case. You have come to understand our business requirements and have consistently filled them. It is a huge relief to my operation knowing how reliable your candidates are.
I also appreciate your candid approach; on the rare occasions you haven't been able to fill a position you have said so, rather than compromising and sending someone substandard.

DIY Smart Phone Stand Using an Old Cassette Case
Here are a couple of ideas for smart phone stands. I find that if I keep my phone in a stand I see it more and can keep an eye on texts, phone calls, and reminder alerts. Also, I tend to misplace it less often, as it has a home that it stays in.

Hey- we are the Fosters,
The crazy family behind this blog. Mainly it's me Ali but I like to pretend that my whole family is involved in this blogging process! We are a family of six {not including the many animals that keep multiplying around us on our little pretend farm} We come from a small country town in Idaho and love it here! We have an addiction to getting stuff done and love making changes, improvements and creating!
So why the homemade Roost? We moved into our new home and were able to get Chickens and I instantly fell in love with them– I've turned into a Crazy Chicken Lady. The Roost is where the Chickens go to be safe, to rest, and it's a place that they love. I want my Home to be that for my family and friends. A scripture I have always tried to emulate in my home is D&C 109:8 "Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing, and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God;" That is my goal and this is where I share my life- I hope to inspire, be real, and hopefully make you smile occasionally. Life is beautiful and I believe we are all capable of creating and improving our Roosts.
Wanna Know More?
Well If you happen to drop by you would most likely find us gone, hiking, fishing, camping or being drug out by "mom" to take some cool photos somewhere. If you do catch us at home we're gonna be likely covered in paint and sawdust with dirty faces and messy hair, but super excited about the next project we are doing. Or of course there's always the chillaxing on the computers drinking dew and eating nutella — {it's really the best- you should join us!}
We have way to many things we are interested in and hobbies that we want to learn about and pursue {design, rebuilding trucks, building furniture, hand lettering, painting, website design, sewing and it goes on and on } but we try to always remember what is most important, to slow down and enjoy the time that we have to raise our beautiful children and be together!
If you feel so inclined to see what I do in my other spare time you can check out my photography page at AliFosterphotos.com
Thanks for stopping by, if you have questions or just want to say HI! feel free to contact me- I like mail

text: Digital Facebook Expands Marketer Outreach With Official, Free "Facebook Marketing Bootcamp" By Josh Constine|October 27, 2011 Share By Josh Constine|October 27, 2011 Share Facebook this evening announced that it will hold a free "Facebook Marketing Bootcamp" series of webinars and live question-and-answer session. A tab app on the Facebook Marketing Solutions Page posted "All Marketing Managers are invited to become a Facebook marketing expert in just 3 weeks… learn how to use Facebook's social technology to grow your business". Facebook Marketing Bootcamp is Facebook's biggest effort to date to educate marketers, entering a space otherwise handled by third-parties including this blog and our Facebook Marketing Bible. Facebook is recognizing that many marketers lack of understanding of the site's value to business, and are therefore spending less on marketing and advertising than they could be. The program could boost confidence and get more people creating Pages, publishing content, and buying ads. Marketers can register for Facebook Marketing Bootcamp for free, and the 6 webinars, live Q&A session, and weekly tips will run from November 1st to November 16th. The first 5,000 people to sign up may receive a $125 Facebook ad credit. As the course is held online and not in person, there does not appear to be a cap on how many people can join the sessions. In June, I analyzed a MerchantCircle report indicating that despite high awareness, only 22% of small businesses use Facebook ads, and of those 35% say they wouldn't use them again, mainly because of poor performance. This lack of adoption and negative experience is in part due to a lack of knowledge of how to use the ads tool or run effective campaigns that tie in with other Facebook marketing products. Since then, I've been recommending Facebook expand its business education and outreach. Facebook frequently makes changes to its marketing products and creates new opportunities but doesn't always follow up with instructions for how to best take advantage of them. For example, it released new ways to target ads by broad category, launched the Recommendations feature for Places, and dispensed free ad credits, but guide marketers how to use them beyond dispensing the occasional .PDF instruction manual. This can lead marketers to have bad or confusing first experiences that makes them less likely to devote resources to Facebook in the future. In the last month, though, Facebook has stepped its educational efforts, announcing partnerships with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and National Federation of Independent Business where it would send representatives to advise members on Facebook marketing. The company has also been running more one-off marketing education sessions on its streaming channel Facebook Live. At the same time it's stepped up outreach to developers, holding mini-f8 Open Technology Days in four US cities as well as abroad and planning a Mobile Hack day at its headquarters this week. Through the Facebook Marketing Bootcamp, educational resources will be formatted into a coherent curriculum and offered free to anyone interested. Rather than allowing unofficial outlets to be the only source of this intensive training, Facebook will be able to promote responsible marketing strategies that don't endanger the experience of users with spam or overly aggressive tactics. Facebook should continue to explore different mediums for distributing marketing education. With a combination of white papers, live conferences, and webinars Facebook can push towards its goal of getting all businesses, even less savvy late adopters, using Facebook marketing.

In two weeks the 19th Party congress will convene. Much chitter chatter about who will be in what position and what it implies. But if you go back to the 18th Party Congress in 2012, the important issues were not the identity of the new leaders. It was the context of the development of China from 1949 to 2049. From a destroyed backward nation with an average life expectancy of 27 to a modern developed economy and then to high income shared economy by 2049 – the economic dimension of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics (SCC).
The 18th Party Congress resolved that the economic development path, towards a new mixed economy on the way to Socialism with Chinese Characteristics by 2049, was going to resist the power of those who had diverted the power and wealth , consciously or unconsciously.
It was a changing of power and approach, and a step back from tolerance of corruption. It was a firm return to the historic ways of China, that officials should act in the people's interest to build the nation and enable the people, and to resist personal ambition and wealth. It was a determination to move into a managed mixed economy where the Soe's would play a key role, supported by Party Committees and other features to work with a Party-created private sector in a new form of a mixed economy.
All the outpourings of the Western media for a smaller state and privatisation missed the road China was embarking on in the 18th Party Congress.
And when we stand on the eve of the 19th Party Congress, 5 years later, we can see they have done just that. China stands prepared for an extended period of a mixed economy, and its officials and Soe's are aware that they are where they are as a duty, and not as a benefit.
The construction of the new managed market economy is partially complete in terms of main principles such as the role of Party Committees, and the streamlining and more flexible ownership of Soe's. Quite a lot of detail is also in place but the next five years will see the picture completed and fully operating. More openness will become evident and the financial sector will mature and open.
Internationally, China has emerged as a regional and global power and is involved in all the many regional and global issues . President Xi, expresses on behalf of China, a new view of the direction of the world, a new view of Asian regional collaboration, and the breath-taking new views of the New Silk Roads – BRI, and the support for the launch of an African Industrial Revolution.
So if we ask what the 19th Party Congress will demonstrate, we must understand that it is an interim Congress and that its main role will be to hold to the course of the 18th Party Congress. Some will have tried to resist that but failed.
Developing a new mixed economy, focusing on innovation to become sectoral world leaders with other advanced nations, using its resources to share with nations across at least three continents and work for a world that is based on multi polar commitment to peace and sustainable development. And on top of that to work for a healthy society that reflects China's great civilising values stretching back hundreds and thousands of years.
Are these just words as mouthed by politicians all over the world? No with China it is different and see these as words if you like. But the role of the Party in transforming China since 1949 and, in particular, since 1978, is unique and that is long term vision is at the centre of what they are doing.
China is likely to become the most important nation in the world because they are focused on 100 years out, and adjust according to the realities they experience. They expect trouble and challenges. They know one thing is constant – problems. They address them and work on them. They are serious and committed and very democratic in their way of working at development. It is not top down. The line may come from the top, but it is informed from the bottom up, and fleshed out in the middle.
The scientific method is key and people-focused is the starting point.
There are many cynics about China. Many who think what is written above is sycophantic. But the 48 Group was accused of that when London Export Corporation started it in 1953. My father listened to Dr Joseph Needham and his work on the Science and Civilisation of China. He saw China would return as a leading world nation. He was called sycophantic and other less pleasant names, but he was right.
Today I listen to Professor Peter Nolan, the man who understands China today and its future direction best. I am called sycophantic and worse. But I think the sooner we grasp the reality of the future direction of China and its effect on the world and us, the sooner we can work towards our own benefit from this.
Some may be thinking of challenging and fighting China to try and stop their development. Waste of time. China does not present a long term threat unless we push China into a corner of self-reliance. That will also be reflected in the 19th Party Congress – the commitment to self-defence. The world used to be based on army, navy and air force. Now it is based on cyber and space and high technology. That changed about 20 years ago. China is among the world leader in all sectors I would guess. They are prepared to defend themselves in modern ways.
The nuclear threat may have reduced war to an obsolete route. China expresses the hope that nations will focus collectively on economic development, especially as the antidote to terrorism.
The 19th Party Congress will support the many transnational initiatives taken by China since the 2013 speech by President Xi in Kazakhstan. BRICS, SCO and other groups were linked in with the transformational OBOR – the New Silk Roads now labelled BRI.
Today we have a developing world with many links in their economies and transnationalism is replacing globalism as the focus. Transnational infrastructure and markets and corporations. Transnationalism is about developing uniformity of systems to enable infrastructure to move swiftly across nations. It enables complex funding. It provides the basis for development policies which contain features of globalisation. But it does not force markets to open nor does it challenge systems. It provides the means to create intercontinental transportation and carriage of energy and telecommunications.
It is the developing world, led by China that is innovating transnationalism. It does not seek to create universality and change systems and regimes. It seeks to ensure the world comes from poverty to a sustainable place – a journey of 100 years at least. That is what China is leading with various groupings and concepts.
Global products may come and go. But transnational markets, production and innovation is here to stay.
China gets these things because they are looking ahead into the future always.
Capitalist economies divided between the private sector and the state will always have a problem to work together and focus on the future. China is succeeding because for historical reasons it can mould the two.
So the 19th Party Congress will reflect that the radical changes instigated in the 18th Party Congress are in good shape and will go deeper in the next five years and ensure the 2021 centenary policy goal of shared prosperity is firmly in place.
Don't worry about the who, focus on the what's and the long and short term to get to the long term. The strategies for working with China can only emerge from understanding China.
Lastly, will this all work? Are the Party and its leaders up to the tasks? Can they manage the unpredictable challenges ahead, the power of the USA? Can they get the various strands to work together when needed? Above all, can they stay to the vision when the seduction of money and power rises even higher?
My take is if President Xi had not won the election in 2007, and the attempted put down in August/ September 2012, then China would have been hard pressed not to stop a diversion of the mission to some quasi capitalist economy and society. But those backing him and he won the day, and emerged to lead China. They are the successors of those who called in 1962 for the Four Modernisations, they value history and they experienced the Cultural Revolution. I think they will keep the ship on course for the next 35 years at least. After that, who knows?
This understanding and interpreting has been the role of the 48 Group for 65 years and let's hope it has the future to continue this work. We are a group dedicated to understanding China and helping businesses and governments develop effective strategies based on the emerging China.
Let us hope the next generation of readers of China emerge in the West, and are not marginalised by those who focus on changing the Chinese system and regime. It is a very unlikely target. So let's hope for a new generation of China analysts. The West lacks a visionary economic outlook. China does not. It is based on 5000 years of history and civilisation.
