A service provider to the channel has signed up 40 contracts since its takeover by Daisy Group Plc.
Servassure, a fully independent white-labelled maintenance and engineering provider, has enjoyed a run of successes since the move which took place at the beginning of August.
And its presence at the recent IP Expo and Convergence Summit South have reassured potential customers that Servassure is stronger than ever and offering a even more compelling channel proposition.
Peter Orr, Servassure's Sales Director said: "We are finding that more and more companies are approaching us due to our new strength and engineering capabilities and those who we are approaching ourselves have been very enthusiastic about our offer.
"I think our new relationship with Daisy has gone a long way in reassuring our customers that we are financially stable in what is often an unstable market, and things are only set to get bigger and better.
"The recent channel exhibitions have served to re-establish the Servassure brand and people should expect to see and hear a lot more about us in 2010."
Ian Massingham, Servassure's Business Development Director, added: "Our customers rely on us to provide the service skills, scale and capabilities on their behalf and we can say with confidence they will get exactly what they signed up for, and more.
"We are always looking for new ways to address market issues and new ways to improve on our quality service as the market continues to change and grow. The companies we are working with can rest assured that we are looking after them and in doing so looking after their customers."

"THE TEST": Busted!!!!
We ran a little test with the help of some amazing quantitative analysis students from Boston.
A number of the SOMO writer/reporters were noticing the number of stories commenting that "Tesla was in bed with Google backers". While there are some forensic facts and factual history which seems to lean towards this assumption, the only hard case evidence is in investigators files, which have yet to be unsealed.
So, just for laughs, we created a web metrics plot of the top 20 domestic news aggregation sites in America. Using commonly available "big data" analysis software we plotted a month's worth of news coverage for all domestic stories with a high readership. You, or your paper, can try this too.
Then we trolled one of Tesla's PR staff about covering up the November fire. Of course, as Tesla staff often do, they went ballistic and fired off the Teslammer PR Machine. (which involves no clear thinking, planning or logic. In most cases; just Elon's brand of visceral Frat boy dick waggin')
But we were watching and tracking the web with the same kind of software Google uses on you. It's all legal, it's just icky.
First, We were able to document the timing sequence and identities of each of the Tesla shill stock aliases meat-puppet bloggers as they re-percussed their cover story along the web routes to try to convince investors "…nothing is wrong, walk on, nothing to see here." There are a very specific group of names and routes we were able to track in 4 different "fire-drills" we monitored.
Second, and of the most interest, of all 20 other news sites in America, the only one to put any mention of Tesla above the 2% coverage mark was: Google News!
Everybody else put tornadoes, Syrian atrocity, job crisis, medical alerts and all kinds of actual really important stuff right at the top and in the lead sections, just like you might think an uncompromised media journal might do.
But Google.. ahhh Google, …Google punched any, and every, mention of Tesla to the top section as if Aliens had landed on Elon Musks front lawn or China had Invaded Fremont, California. Google News put it over 2000% higher, or more visible, THAN ANY OTHER PUBLICATION in the US, maybe even the world. Kinda fishy! Who says those Google searches are rigged?
Of course any negative stories about Tesla were dragged to the back page search results, but only on Google, all 19 other papers showed equal mixes of negative and positive coverage. We are going to try a 3 month monitoring now and see what happens. We are shipping the results off to the known agencies investigating the kick-backs in all this.
Kind of interesting isn't it?
Dj- LAT. JKen- LAS
HA! Touche' Now get those college kids to check the whole DOE budget!
Want to make Elon go nuts?
Say "Fire" and "Your girl-friends and ex-wives ditched you because they said you suck in bed" and you will pretty much trigger all of his machismo hot buttons. He is so arrogant he will go off the rails. Did you see him cry on 60 Minutes when the big astronauts said he can't play with their spaceships? He is the most immature man I ever met.
;-)- Dana
His whole Hyperloop crap thing was just counter PR to try to stave off the truth about the fires!
Google may bias search results, US senate subcommittee hears

Joining In! Ash
"I feel we are very fortunate living in Ash as there are many opportunities for people to get involved, make friends, learn new skills and be a part of the community we live in.
I hope you find something that interests you."
Pauline Baxter, a local Ash volunteer
St Paul's Church
We are a welcoming and friendly church community.
We are genuinely all-age: from bump to 99 years old attending our services regularly! We are excited about our faith and keen to learn more together.
We are also very proud of our beautiful church and the villages of Tongham and Runfold. We enjoy being part of this wider community too.
Activities for All Ages:
Whole Church:
We went to Queen Elizabeth Park for a Big Day Out. We've also had some very successful film nights and skittles evenings at the Old School.
As well as our activities during Sunday services, we have a mid-week group called Coffee Plus. This is our group for pre-school age children, and it runs every Wednesday morning from 10.30am to noon in the Old School, even in school holidays. It's a great opportunity to meet and chat with friends while the children play, and Claire drops in with her guitar to sing songs. We make sure mums, dads, grandparents and child minders have got a cup of tea and some cake too!
The Old School, used by St Paul's Church for various activities and events and is also the parish office.
Primary Age:
In addition to our great activities on a Sunday for primary school age children, we have activities in the school holidays called Christmas Buzz, Easter Buzz, and a whole week of Holiday Club during the summer. Booking forms are also available on the website in the weeks preceding the events.
Our newest venture is Messy Church, which is meeting every third Thursday in Old School.
We love young people attending and getting involved in our Sunday services, and they have their own time together as well at our Youth Group on a Sunday evening. This meets locally in term time from 7.30pm to 9pm to chill, chat and eat pizza. Our young people get involved in lots of different activities – fundraising and making a difference in our local area.
We have events which are aimed specifically at women and men. Women meet for breakfasts and Bible study, and also curry nights, pizza nights and pudding evenings. Men also meet for occasional evening Bible studies, and have their own social events such as quiz night, brewery tours with curry, karting, etc.
Our events are open to all ages, but we also arrange activites which are particularly aimed at those who have reached retirement age. Our fellowship lunches are held every second Tuesday in the Old School, from 12.30pm to 2pm. All are welcome for a soup and bread lunch, with lots of opportunities to chat with friends, and make new friends too.
The Jamboree Club meets three times a year, with visiting speakers, quizzes and afternoon tea.
Poyle Road, Tongham
01252 783081
The church office is open Monday and Thursday between 10am and 12pm (term-time).

"Therefore submit to God. But resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you..." James 4:8
Completing an exciting and important project with a lot of detail always requires "just" a little bit more. Laughing with my friends, I sometimes joike about how the word "just" can be my greatest downfall. Perhaps it's 2AM in the morning and a music project is almost done or a web design or a blog or even a book, and I'll tell myself, JUST 1 more minute.
Well, you know how the story goes...one more minute usually leads to an hour. And than, after you fix the one error you JUST had to fix, there's often more stuff to repair or you're having fun and wanna keep going! We could safely say JUST and never sleep because of the many great projects which need to be tweaked here and there. Even years after being published, we could find mistakes or invent an upgrade because we are imperfect human in an ever changing world...Theres always more!
But "JUST" can be a blessing too! If we JUST keep falling in love with the Lord and getting to know His love a little bit more, there is also ALWAYS MORE! We think we know Him and we think we know ourselves. One prayer, one great book, one conversation... and we realize, Oh my! There's MORE for me to learn and so much more grace and love for me to receive that I have not known before!
As we perfect ourselves in our hopes of improvement and allow God to perfect our journey, dreams and character, we find THERE IS MORE love, counsel, wisdom and healing from the God of heaven and earth. Let's TAKE IT IN. Receive it humbly and willingly so we may be empowered to Be all we can be.
The windows of heaven open up now and we say aloud, "Lord, I know there's always more of your love so here I am, I receive."

Let's face it, getting a Lü for your gym is a serious investment and often the main friction point blocking you from all the incredible experiences and benefits the Lü tools would provide.
Well… We have some good news for you, it's not our first rodeo! We have already helped a multitude of schools across 20 countries find funding for their Lü project.
Here are some tips and avenues for you to pursue. At any point, feel free to contact our account team for help or additional info.
The More the Merrier
The first step to getting Lü in your school is to spark interest from key members of your immediate community. PE Teachers, the Principal, representatives from the after-school team or PTA association can all help you significantly move this project along. Building a small team raising awareness in your school and sharing the load for funding will go a long way.
Secondly, with 600 projects under our belts, we found that, in most cases, successful funding came from multiple sources. This has many advantages for you to fund your project. First, not only one investor has to carry the entire weight by itself, but also it allows to fraction the amount in smaller sizes and accesses different sources, targets and subject matters (IT, Education, etc.).
For example, having a grant from the Department of Education for IT infrastructure, some money coming from the school district's capital budget, a crowdfunding activity and a philanthropic donation could all be targeted for part of the funding needed.
Moreover, in many cases proving traction or your ability to secure funding from one source will help leverage a second one.
Grants and Public Funding
There are many grants available to support your Lü investment and on many levels, such as school district, statewide and even nationwide programs. The important thing to consider when searching for grants is that Lü can be considered for a variety of different grants because of its versatility.
You can, therefore, consider anything targeted at getting kids moving, student health, education technology, social inclusion, isolation, IT infrastructure, academic performance, etc.
For example, here are some good places in the USA to look for potential grants to help fund your project (most countries also have their equivalent):
- Kajeet
- Grant Watch (small subscription fee)
- US Department of Education
Crowdfunding is a very powerful fundraising tool made easy by modern-day platforms in recent years. The success of crowdfunding campaigns implies building a strong community and efficient communication channels and messages to reach their members.
In a traditional crowdfunding campaign like a new product launch, the hardest part of the work is to build a community of people who would be interested in the product and therefore raise money from them.
You, however, have been struck by luck! You already have a strong community of parents and supporters. You can get a hand from the PTA association, the Alumni association, etc. You could also use the school's newsletter and other communication channels to reach them with your message.
All you need then is a good communication plan, some compelling assets like a video, pictures and written content, and a bit of elbow grease after all money doesn't grow by itself on the crowdfunding tree!
Here are two platforms we would recommend :
Have a look at the successful campaigns on there and see how you could adapt yours in that sense. Moreover, crowdfunding platforms such as Ulule would assign you a dedicated representative to help you through the process.
We all have done fundraising diners, car wash, cookies sales, etc. We already know what the options are. All of them can work, but parents are over solicited in this fashion. Lü is innovative and new, and we feel that your fundraiser should be inspired by this. How about selling time usage in the future gym? How about something around a physical activity like a race or a fun tournament?
One thing for sure, you have to make sure that if you are using fundraisers and crowdfunding at the same time, the giveaways should be very distinct. It means that you would be soliciting your community twice for the same cause via 2 different mechanisms. So you have to plan all the activities with that in mind.
Philanthropic Grants
Aside from public funding, many private organizations have grants available as part of their CSR (corporate social responsibility) strategy. In most large companies, CSR is an actual department often tightly linked to the marketing/communications department. In short, companies wish that the grant attributed to a project is aligned with their activity sector or their business' mission. That way those projects can be powerful communication tools to promote their brand etc.
Many schools that have Lü installed have managed to get a good amount of their funding this way from a variety of businesses like professional sports teams, hardware stores, tech companies, etc. The main piece of advice here is: before you make your moves on such businesses, make sure you gather enough information about them, their other philanthropic projects and their mission, and think how does funding for Lü in your gym would fit within their strategy. How will it be beneficial to them?
Here are some examples of grant criteria topics:
- Enabling youth to succeed
- Aligns with health and education
- Demonstrates technological innovation
- Defines and measures social outcomes
Versatility for More Funding
Lü is a complete entertainment and multimedia system. On top of the games and gameplay, you are most likely familiar with, it has a projector, a complete sound and lighting system, internet access, etc. It is, therefore, a tool that can be used for a lot of purposes and by a lot of school activities.
Our users also benefit from Lü for school dances, professional training, PTA meeting, special needs kids, after-school services, movie nights, school plays, etc.
Because of this versatility, funding can be found by combining multiple departments that would use Lü. We discovered that one of the most preferred ways to fund this project is to go through technology and capital budgets.
Talk to us, we know the drill!
We have done this and helped people like you with their funding, and best of all, we are just a shout away. We would also like to know if you have found any other avenues for funding which we could share with the rest of the community.
Let's do this together, contact us!

This full day workshop will focus on the key requirements of the CASS 7 (Client Money) rules and provide guidance on implementing effective and cost efficient compliance approaches. It will also focus on the critical area of client money reconciliations and the widely debated issue of prudent segregation.

This past Thursday, I took my youngest daughter trick or treating.
I walked around the neighborhood with our beagle, Charlie, in tow as my daughter skipped, walked, and sprinted from door to door in the hope of filling her bag with candy. (Older sister, being too cool to be seen with mom and baby sister, opted to walk with friends.)
I have to confess that I love this holiday. Admittedly, it's more about the chocolate I forage for after the kids have gone to bed rather than the costumes and scary movies, but still…
As Abby ran from door to door, I couldn't help but notice the lack of participants, which seemed, to me at least, a much greater percentage than I've noticed in past years. What was so disturbing, however, was the apparent lack of any attempt on the part of the homeowner to hide in their house with the lights out – the universal symbol to children indicating there is no candy at this residence. This year, people seemed to be more blatant in their unwillingness to toss a piece of candy into the bag of the children who ring their doorbell constantly for the two hours allotted by our town.
Though my parents always opted to participate in Halloween and each year purchased the required forty bags of candy that were set aside and labeled for distribution, I knew of a few families in our neighborhood who opted out of this ritual. Those neighbors would follow Non-Participatory Halloween Protocal and come home from work early, park their cars in the garage, keep all the lights off and slink upstairs to a bedroom where they would watch television from behind sealed drapes. Only the slightes hint of the glow from the boob-tube would be visible to the children meandering by. It was obvious these homes were not to be bothered, and that was ok. We knew our bags would be full by the end of the night.
This year, as Abby and I canvassed our neighborhood, I noticed there was none of the "pretend we're not home so the kids don't ring the doorbell" charade going on. There were houses with several cars parked in the driveway, yet when the doorbell was rung, no one would answer. To make matters worse, there would be a front porch light on, indicating there was candy to be found inside. At one house, the lights were off, but activity inside could be seen from the front door. Again, cars were parked in the driveway, but this time, the garage door was open! I don't know about you but if I"m pretending not to be home, my garage door is shut.
At yet another house, my daughter walked up to the well-lit front door, rang it and waited, only to be denied, once again, a piece of candy. As we were heading to the next house, a gentleman came out of the house and began to walk across the lawn to his neighbors, leaving the front door open!
Now, while I don't think anyone should have to participate in Halloween and spend a week's salary on candy to be given out to kids you don't even know, but if you're not going to participate, at least make it clear to the kids. Hide inside with the lights out!
Or, you can do what one family in my neighborhood did: They taped a sign on their front door that simply said, "Sorry, No candy."
I'll be they didn't have to listen to their doorbell ring all night.

For Those With Fibromyalgia, Relief Can Be Hard to Come By
Fibromyalgia is a chronic disease that can affect individuals of any age, but especially women. This ailment is known to affect the bones and muscles causing fatigue, body aches and severe muscle tenderness. As those who contend with the ailment know, finding fibromyalgia relief can be very difficult. Even going about your day-t0-day routine can be a significant challenge.
That's why it's important to determine what you can do to help manage your Fibromyalgia pain and get one step closer to a pain-free day. Even though fibromyalgia is a chronic illness and cannot be cured instantaneously, there are many non-invasive, drug-free and safe ways to manage your pain on a daily basis. TENS and EMS therapy machines like DR-HO'S Pain Therapy System represent a drug-free, non-invasive way to manage fibromyalgia pain.
What is DR-HO'S Pain Therapy System Pro?
DR-HO's Pain Therapy System Pro is a TENS machine that can help you relieve pain, relax your muscles and improve circulation from the comfort of your own home. The multi-use gel body pads that come with the device are non-invasive, drug-free and are used to target many different areas on the body. Specifically, it can help target different tender points that result from Fibromyalgia pain.
The Pain Therapy System Pro uses TENS therapy and EMS Therapy:
- TENS Therapy: Safe, gentle, constantly-changing electrical stimulation that excites and distracts the nerves. As you continue to use the device, the stimulation floods the nervous system, preventing its ability to transmit pain signals to the brain. This allows for effective pain relief that is drug-free and non-invasive.
- EMS Stimulation: This feature of the machine massages and stimulates tense and painful muscles to provide a deep, targeted customizable massage. This stimulation feels great and also works to improve circulation, release endorphins and relieve stress.
1. DR-HO'S Pain Therapy System Helps Target Different Fibromyalgia Tender Points
As Fibromyalgia sufferers know tender points are what is used to described specific areas of pain on the body. Despite these symptoms usually being described as "pain all over," there are certain areas that are more likely to feel sore on the body.
The most common tender points for fibromyalgia sufferers include:
- Back of the neck
- Front of the neck
- Lower back
- Upper back
- Shoulders
- Elbows
- Chest
- Hips
- Knees
The Pain Therapy System Pro comes with 8 Regular Body Pads and 2 Large Body Pads allowing you to target small or large painful areas on the body. If you're feeling pain in two different areas on your body, the Pain Therapy System Pro has two different ports where you can customize your settings to two different stimulations in order to target each pain-afflicted area properly.
Before using the Pain Therapy System refer to the guide for chronic pain to ensure you are placing the pads in the correct areas.
2. Use DR-HO'S Pain Therapy System Pro Before and After a Workout
When dealing with Fibromyalgia pain, finding the motivation to exercise can often feel almost impossible. However, exercising is one of the best things you can do for your body to help manage fibromyalgia pain.
DR-HO's Pain Therapy System Pro was made to massage your body to help ease your pain and reduce muscle tension and soreness. The system acts as your very own masseuse from the comfort of your own home. With six different massages modes, you can choose the intensity of the stimulation, prevent body adaptation and adjust your needs accordingly without overexerting the muscles. Using the Pain Therapy System Pro before and after a workout can help target the sore tender points and muscles to have a more effective workout and recovery.
3. TENS Therapy "Blocks" Pain Signals From Reaching the Brain For Effective Fibromyalgia Relief
Fibromyalgia sufferers often describe their pain as "pain all over" because it can target areas all over the body and more than one area at the same time. Although many people resort to over-the-counter drugs to deal with pain, there are also non-invasive and drug-free ways to help manage your pain.
The Pain Therapy System was designed with chronic pain in mind. The combination of TENS and EMS used in the Pain Therapy System Pro massages the muscles, helping them contract and release while providing a safe, gentle electrical stimulation that disrupts pain receptors from reaching the brain.
The constant stimulation distracts the nerves in the body and overrides pain receptors. If you think of pain like a cellphone signal, TENS therapy essentially "blocks" this signal from ever getting through.
4. The Pain Therapy System Pro Helps Promote Full-Body Circulation
DR-HO'S Pain Therapy System pro also works to improve circulation throughout the body. Because the therapy system is adaptable for full-body treatment you can place the pads anywhere on the body, even if there is no pain in that specific area, to help boost circulation and oxygenation. When your body has good blood circulation it can reduce pain in certain areas of the body:
- Back Pain
- Neck Pain
- Shoulder Pain
5. TENS AND EMS Massage Can Help to Reduce Stress
Any individual, whether in pain or not, can use effective massage therapy to relax and reduce stress. When you feel stressed it is more common for muscles to tense up and feel sore. With fibromyalgia, you want to ensure your muscles and body are relaxed to ensure a more pain-free day. DR-HO'S Pain Therapy System Pro has 24 different types of therapeutic stimulation and 6 unique massage modes to customize your needs helping you get through a more pain-free day.
Find Fibromyalgia Relief With DR-HO'S
DR-HO'S Pain Therapy System provides many benefits to help you get one step closer to managing your pain without the use of drugs. Here are some other key features of the product:
- Auto-Modulating Pain Relieving Waves
- Highly Customizable

Crestron Countersues Savant
Crestron late last week filed a countersuit against Savant Systems, alleging "tortious interference with contract, tortious interference with prospective business relationship, and unfair and deceptive trade practices."
The suit, filed in Massachusetts, is in response to the suit filed by Savant last fall during CEDIA Expo in Atlanta.
"Crestron has been forced, by Savant's litigation tactics and continuing unlawful conduct, to act to protect its own interests," Crestron said in a statement.

Reports confirm that Samsung is planning a Galaxy A9(2017)
Last month was when we got the confirmation of the existence of the Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017), Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) and Samsung Galaxy A7 (2017).
Normally, these are not all the devices in the Galaxy A series and from past experiences, we know that Samsung has seen some kind of potential in the devices in these series because they keep getting remakes and rebrands and these don't fail to impress in the market. Given that this is not the complete line-up of the smartphones that they have in the A series, it was just a matter of time till they made the announcement that we are about to bring to you now.
Although not coming officially, there has been reports that there would be a 2017 edition of another one of the smartphones in this series and that would be the Galaxy A9. Coming in form of a Weibo post, the leak doesn't do anything to tell us specifications of the device or any other information that we might have loved to know but all in due time, we believe.

Good thing I am out of town tomorrow. It gives me an excuse to detox and not worry about the whole affair. I am turning my cellphone off for the whole day tomorrow, and I will just enjoy the solitude in my neck of the woods.
That is the good thing about delegation. I have a person to pass the buck to, if I need to. So there, he planned something for tonight, and for tomorrow as well.
But for me, I'd rather stay here at home, do my laundry, iron my clothes, and write a blog entry, rather than stay up late and go with them bar-hopping. I've done that sometimes, but I would pass for now. I enjoy doing things, but sometimes, I also enjoy doing nothing. This is a rare for me perhaps, but it does happen.
I've chatted with my Israeli friend for a bit earlier. Apparently, he sent me some postcards from Israel, so I am looking forward to seeing what's inside my mailbox for the next few days.
Earlier today, I gave a rough draft presentation of my poster in the lab. It went well, and I had plenty of suggestions from the group. I will then revise the poster this weekend, and then I will forward it to my adviser and it will then be his turn to revise it. After all, it is co-authored by me and him. Then, he was suggesting that I visit the lab of another professor, but in a different department, and see how the reaction of the people there go.
I taught my class the basics of tone earlier today. I posed the question that how is it that speakers of tone languages can still sing, even though they use pitch to signify meaning changes in their language? They then found out that tone is relative, not absolute, therefore, it is still possible for people to sing even though they speak a tone language.
I am making progress with my typing lesson. The weird thing though is, now, I am typing using a hybrid of my former system, and the proper system. I use all five fingers in my left hand now, but my right hand still is restricted to three. It is somehow slow, compared to my older system of just using the index and middle finger of both hands. Hopefully, I will improve on this.
Ah, that concludes my day today. I will then head to bed, enjoy the solitude, while listening to Franz Liszt.

Online listings give your business the opportunity to show up in front of potential customers. Through this free form of advertising, you can appeal to customers who are looking for a product or service, which will lead to greater traffic and sales. Online listings can make a huge difference when used correctly. To see if yours are working for you, answer these three questions.
1. Are your online listings thorough and accurate?
The first step to harness the power of online listings is to claim your listings on websites like Google and Yelp. Once you've got them, the next step is to get the information right. When your listing is accurate, it speaks volumes to customers and search engines. Get found by making sure you have these listing essentials:
- Business name
- Hours of operation
- Address
- Phone number
- Category
- Information that searchers want
Beyond your contact information, searchers are likely looking for something extra. For instance, Morrison's Irish Pub, one of the six businesses selected for a marketing revitalization during season 3 of Small Business Revolution — Main Street, discovered that more than 80 percent of customers read a menu before deciding to eat at a restaurant. Research also showed that searches including words like "open now" and "near me" have grown more than 200 percent, so Morrison's owners added descriptive words and images to build a more robust listing for their pub.
Additionally, Morrison's realized that being listed as a bar led to many missed opportunities, and it wasn't the most accurate description of the business. By changing the listing category to "Irish Pub," "Irish Restaurant" and "Lunch Restaurant," the eatery is getting found by people searching for pubs, restaurants and lunch.
2. Do your listings showcase what makes your business unique?
Online listings serve as free advertising for your business; don't miss the opportunity to highlight the factors that set you apart. Brainstorm the questions a customer would have — like what your business is, what makes you special, why customers should buy from you — and highlight the answers in your listings. Try researching your industry and target market. If your audience is likely to want "gluten-free food," try to incorporate that wording into your description and show pictures of what makes your restaurant stand out in that category.
By listing their restaurant on Google, TripAdvisor and Yelp, the owners of Lovett's Soul Food reached new diners. Not only did they capture more attention, but they persuaded more locals and tourists to give their food a try. Simply by filling out their listing profiles, Lovett's made sure that their passion for soul food and great hospitality translated online. Adding a business description and delectable imagery helped paint a picture for customers, so that they could get a taste of the restaurant before visiting in person.
3. Can search engines and users get the info they need?
Once your listings are accurate and convey your value, you have to make sure that potential customers and search engines can easily find your business. Search engines like Google favor listings that are consistent across the internet. And, as we talked about with "Irish Pub" and "Soul Food," the right words make all the difference, so take the time to finish strong by explicitly stating what you have to offer.
Take a look at Bluff City Outdoors: The bait and tackle shop updated its information to be consistent everywhere the business appeared online. It also made sure to tell customers about the shop's specialty catfishing gear. This helped search engines understand the business's value and return accurate results to searchers. Since the revamp, Bluff City Outdoors has appeared in more than 400 searches on Yelp, received 5,000 monthly average views, and enjoyed more than 300 monthly actions such as calls, inquiries and visits to the website.
While marketing might bring thoughts of social media and slogans, the reality is that there are countless opportunities to reach your customer base, and those who are likely to become customers. By claiming and optimizing online listings, you'll be found for the right reasons, right when potential customers need you.

Wisconsin rallies to edge VCU 74-73 at 2K Classic
Koenig scores 22 and hits game winner for UW
Bronson Koenig scored 22 points and hit the go-ahead layup with six seconds remaining and Wisconsin held off VCU for a 74-73 victory Sunday in the consolation game of the 2K Classic at Madison Square Garden.
After going 2-for-11 in Wisconsin's 10-point loss to Georgetown, Koenig shot 9-of-14 coming within one of his career high.
His biggest shot came on the final possession with Wisconsin trailing by one point. He spun through traffic and scooped in a layup and when Melvin Johnson missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer it gave the Badgers (3-2) the win.
Johnson scored 21 points for VCU (2-2), which rallied from a trio of 11-point deficits in the first half. Johnson shot 8-of-18 and hit a mid-range jumper with 30 seconds remaining that gave the Rams a 73-72 edge.
Koenig's big performance came on a day when Nigel Hayes struggled to get in the flow at times. After scoring 22 Friday, Hayes finished with 10 points and, when he split two free throws with 51.4 seconds remaining, it led to Johnson's dramatic shot.
Ethan Happ added 12 while Zak Showalter contributed 10 for Wisconsin, which shot 53.1 percent.
Johnson was the only VCU starter in double figures. Reserves Korey Billbury and Ahmed Hamdy-Mohamed added 17 and 13 respectively.
Wisconsin held three 11-point leads early in the first half but trailed 43-37 at halftime. The Rams took their first lead at 33-32 on a layup by Hamdy-Mohamed with 3:36 remaining and outscored the Badgers 12-5 the rest of the first half.
Wisconsin: Coach Bo Ryan was charged with a technical foul with 15:56 remaining in the second half for unsportsmanlike conduct. At the time, the Badgers trailed 47-44. ... The Badgers have outrebounded their first five opponents. ...
VCU: The Rams faced Wisconsin for the first time though new coach Will Wade faced the Badgers for the second straight season. Last year while coaching Chattanooga, Wade's team was handed an 89-45 loss in Madison. This is the 17th game in the New York area in the past five years for the Rams. They played six games last year in Brooklyn's Barclays Center, including four in the Atlantic 10 tournament.
Wisconsin hosts Prairie View on Wednesday.

Artist Feature ://
Stuart Jones
Posted December 2018
Stuart Jones' work is inspired by the urban and rural environment and ideas of utopia, dystopia and the sublime. He uses drawing and painting to create work exploring reality within environments and our relationship with it, capturing places and spaces that have been affected by climate change events and man made and natural disasters. He layers places and landscapes within his paintings, applying a wide range of contemporary and traditional painting and drawing media from oil paint and mediums to household paint and spray paint, working the paint surface of the canvas or board flat on the floor or traditionally on the wall or easel. His work explores our relationships and connections with the environment and how this is consistently in flux.
'East', Stuart Jones. Oil paint and mixed media on canvas, 2018.
Q. There is a long history of Art being used to discuss political topics. You focus closely on climate change and environments including the manmade within your work, what do you feel is the importance of Art to inform others about these issues?
It's not really about informing people but inviting them to question things. Whether that is the environmental crisis or natural disasters or other political issues. My work is informed by the natural and man-made environment and how we interact and engage with this, things that are going on in the world and how that is filtered through me. Although my work is influenced by these things I am not trying to lecture or dictate how people should think or live. Daniel Richter the contemporary German painter says not to lecture through your paintings but "take something that has a human effect on you, that you don't know how to describe. Take something and transform it so that it is not just about the topic but about you"
Q. Describe the process behind one of your paintings?
My process varies and evolves over time but generally starts with a drawing or image. The paintings I am working on at present started with collaged drawings and images that I have manipulated and experimented with using photocopying. I use a wide range of contemporary and traditional painting and drawing media, from oil paint and mediums to household paint and spray paint. I work on the paint surface of the canvas flat on the floor or on the wall depending on how I want the paint to behave.
'Erebus', Stuart Jones. Oil paint and mixed media on canvas, 2016.
'Erebus 2', Stuart Jones. Oil paint and mixed media on canvas, 2016.
Q. How essential for you is it to have a studio to work from?
My studio is a place to escape to. A space where I can reflect and think and cut myself off from the outside world. It's somewhere to experiment, take risks and play with materials. I share the building with other artists and I find it is important to have other artists around to discuss art and ideas with. Also as I work large scale, physical space is essential.
Q. What advice would you give to someone who is beginning to explore paint as a media?
Take risks, experiment with paint and play. Explore different starting points to paintings. Ask yourself the question "What if".
'West', Stuart Jones. Oil paint and mixed media on canvas, 2018.
Q. Why do you love what you do?
It is just something I do and always have done. It's a way of dealing with and making sense of the world, a way of expressing how I feel.

Positron emission tomography is a modern method for diagnosing the organism, designed to study the functional activity of organs and tissues. Unlike magnetic resonance imaging, PET technology does not visualize the slices of internal organs and the musculoskeletal system, but it builds up a three-dimensional model of the processes that currently occur in them. PET devices make it possible to study any functional process that occurs in the brain, vessels, tissues, organs and neoplasms.
The scope of positron emission tomography covers the following areas of medicine:
PET with high accuracy can distinguish malignant neoplasms from benign. The equipment allows detecting tumors that have no effect on blood tests and do not have any appreciable clinical effect on the body, due to which it is widely used for the prevention of oncological diseases. Indications for the appointment of PET are head injuries, Alzheimer's disease, epileptic seizures, circulatory disorders and ischemia. The method makes it possible to detect areas of the cardiovascular system in which there is no normal blood supply.

Gallian Army
|Lanseal cadet (former)
Army general
|Voice Acting
|Hirohiko Kakegawa
- "I cannot refute the possibility.. it seems I must make a decision."
- —Carl Eisler, Valkyria Chronicles 3
Carl Eisler (カール・アイスラー Kāru Aisurā?) is a member of the Gallian Army, acting as Major General.
One of the top graduates from Lanseal Military Academy, Carl Eisler quickly rose through the ranks and became one of the central officers of the Gallian army. As the Second Europan War began and the Empire invaded Gallia, General Eisler conspired with the Yggist Cardinal Borgia to betray Gallia. One of the correspondences between the two ended up being delivered by Lieutenant Kurt Irving, a talented young officer loyal to Gallia. Fearing that Kurt may have read the letter, General Eisler fabricated charges of treason against Kurt and had him assigned to the military penal Squad 422, the Nameless, to neutralize him. The general also took advantage of the victories Squad 422 achieved under Kurt's leadership, but matters quickly grew out of control when Kurt revealed the existence of a conspiracy within the army's upper echelons.
Fearing that Kurt was closing in on the truth, General Eisler sought to destroy the Nameless using both Gallian regular army units under his command and Calamity Raven, a Darcsen only Imperial unit controlled by Cardinal Borgia. The Nameless however survived all these encounters and to Eisler's and Borgia's surprise one of their members was revealed to be a Valkyria. Growing desperate, Eisler passed on information about Randgriz's defenses to Calamity Raven to allow the Imperials to attack the capital. The Nameless intervened once again however and defeated Calamity Raven, rescuing Lieutenant Colonel Ramsey Crowe, a Gallian officer who had uncovered Iser's activities, in the process. With nothing left to lose, Eisler dispatched units directly loyal to him in a final attempt to destroy the Nameless but failed once more. Once Crowe revealed his discoveries to the Gallian government, Eisler was court-martialed for high treason and likely executed.
Expanded Biography
- "A poisonous snake who uses his tactical expertise to protect both himself and his position within Gallia's military."
- —VC3 COMPLETE ARTWORKS Description
Eisler was a well-respected commissioned officer who graduated from Gallia's military academy with honors.
Eisler has a somewhat theatrical manner of speech and maintains an air of gentility, but is actually a terribly paranoid tactician. Anytime he thinks someone poses a threat to his position, he will cook up a clever plan to eliminate the perceived threat. He is constantly viewing others with suspicion, has never truly trusted anyone, and hasn't expressed a romantic interest in women.
Eisler has always been terribly disappointed with the Gallian Army's inferior combat skills and tactical prowess. It was his opinion that he was the only one truly capable of saving Gallia from the Empire. Through genuine effort, Eisler clawed his way up the ranks of the Gallian military and made it all the way to the rank of major general. Unfortunately, his intense desire to save his homeland from utter destruction eventually persuaded him that the only way to save Gallia was by betraying it.
Eisler secretly began corresponding with Borgia, a Yggdist cardinal. The deal they eventually agreed upon was for Eisler to do whatever he could to extend the war between Gallia and the Empire; in exchange, Borgia would use his connections and resources to help Eisler rise through the military ranks even more. Eisler's main objective was to have the entire Gallian Army nestled within the palm of his hand so that he could use it in ways that he believed were in the best interests of his homeland. Eisler's plans were proceeding quite smoothly until a promising new officer he had his eye on accidentally saw one of the letters sent to him from Borgia. Though the officer did not actually see the contents of the letter, Eisler's paranoia convinced him that this officer was a threat to his plans. Of course, the unfortunate young officer was Kurt, and he was immediately framed for treason and transferred to Nameless. Eisler hid the fact that it was he who got Kurt transferred to Nameless, and in fact started assigning the most dangerous missions to Nameless in order to both extend the war and get Kurt killed.
When it became clear that Kurt was growing suspicious of his superiors, Eisler saw no choice to but to label Nameless as rebels and have them hunted as such. Eisler also made plans for Riela's murder, as her existence was inconvenient for Borgia. As his obsession with Nameless grew, Eisler lost sight of the forest for the trees and, through an uncharacteristic slip-up, allowed Crowe to get ahold of evidence proving his connection to Borgia. This one mistake sealed Eisler's downfall.

"Janie was stretched on her back beneath the pear tree soaking in the alto chant of the visiting bees, the gold of the sun and the panting breath of the breeze when the inaudible voice of it all came to her. She saw a dust-bearing bee sink into the sanctum of a bloom; the thousand sister-calyxes arch to meet the love embrace and the ecstatic shiver of the tree from root to tiniest branch creaming in every blossom and frothing with delight. So this was a marriage! She had been summoned to behold a revelation. Then Janie felt a pain remorseless sweet that left her limp and languid."
This representation of the "bees and the flowers" is very similar to the "birds and the bees" concept. Here, Janie is exploring her idea of love and romanticism. I believe that Janie is trying to discover her desires and the world around her, as she is engrossed in nature in this moment.

Previously we mentioned about the tear down analysis done by iSuppli that disclosed the iPhone BOM (Bill of Material) and manufacturing cost to be around 178.96, how much do you think Apple Inc is actually making profit for each of the new iPhone 3G S sold in the market? You may be surprised to hear that it could earn more than $400 for each 16GB or 32GB 3G S iPhone that being pushed to the market.
Although the selling price is just $199 for a 16GB 3G S iPhone, but it is common practice for service provider to subsidize some of the mobile devices' cost upfront and then only earn from subsequent subscription plan. Similar to AT&T, it is expected to have subsidized quite a huge portion especially for this branded device from Apple Inc that makes it so affordable with condition that the end users subscribe to its data plan for 2 years. According to reliable source, Apple is believed to be selling its latest iPhone devices to AT&T at around $600 per unit, which equals to a total profit of around $422 per unit.
However, this doesn't include some of its cost in R&D, marketing programs, after sales services which could slightly cut down the amount depending on the manufacturing volumes as well as the units sold to market. Best still, a 32GB version model is claimed to have extra $80 margin, with its selling price of $699 while the extra capacity NAND chip only costs $20 more as compared to 16GB model.
