Using several kinds of respiratory enzyme inhibitors, the author studied the effect of the inhibitors on infection of rickettsia to mouse. The investigations were carried out in vitro and in vivo and the observations were made from day to day. Moreover, the characters of rickettsia were investigated by the re-inoculation to normal mouse from the culture. The following results were obtained. 1) The infection of rickettsia were found to be suppressed by previous in vitro treatment of rickettsia with any enzyme inhibitors tested, but the suppression effect was varied by hind of inhibitors, its concentration, duration of its action and the concentration of rickettsial suspension. The infection capacity of enzyme inhibitor treated-rickettsia showed a decrease in cases of 5 hours treatment of 10-20 mg malonate, of 1.0 mg monojodo acetic acid or of 1.0 mg fluoride. However, the affection of these inhibitors was vary specific, and found to have caused merely a reduction of infection capacity or a suppression of infection instead of to caused an inactivation of rickettsia. 2) On the contrary the inhibitors did not show an inhibitory effect to the infection of the rickettsia, if the inhibitors were administrated to the mouse to be tested before the attack of rickettsia. Accordingly a fairly difinite infection and the successive multiplication of rickettsia were observed on the previousely inhibitor-treated mouse; upon rare occasions the infection was found to be severe on these treated mouse. 3) The effect of inhibitors also studied by obeorving properties of re-inoculated rickettsia to normal mouse, the rickettsia was taken from the culture on the previously inhibitor-treated mouse. The multiplication of re-inoculated rickettsia was measured by means of LD(50) curve, and was demonstrated that the appearance of symptomes and the days to death after the infection was somewhat delayed on the treated animal compared to the control; but the occurences were almost in the same way as in the control except a short delay of the time. Hence, the affected metabolism of host cell and metabolic system of animal required to multiplication of the rickettsia were supposed to show so much definite effect to the suppression of infection.

"Whover saves one life, saves the world entire…"Schindler's List
Life flows along like a song; that is until it doesn't. Like a favorite brook or stream visited just the day before in a bucolic country setting–but now dried up from some cause out of our control–life can become so routine and expected in its ways that only a jarring from outside forces may awaken us to the beauty we loved and held to all along.
Most of us have experienced being on a train that enters a tunnel. It becomes narrow, dark, and we expect it to end when light appears. We have never been wrong in this expectation.
The heartbreaking film 'Schindler's List' reminds us that life can change for us on the turn of a door nob. One day we are free, the next we open to a world that is suddenly silent but with demons waiting in the wings.
We understandably feel lost, shaken to our core by a new set of rules and reality. Such may be the case with you during this worldwide pandemic originating from Wuhan, China.
While disease knows no ideology, those at the epicenter must have some sense for what the people depicted by the characters in Shindler's List felt as they were herded to death by brutal ideological captors.
We feel anxiety when life-altering change is thrust upon us. We feel panic at the threat of death, which means an ending to all we have come to know. It appears as a narrow tunnel with no escape.
Seeking peace with sudden changes may not be easy even when "everyone is in this together."
But there are ways to both cope and mitigate the jarring effects of the sudden pandemic forces thrown at us.
Some with developed faith keep a bended knee to earth and clasped hands to heaven as their voices pray for mercy in the quest for light at the end of the tunnel. Others begin to do so for the first time. Still, others simply dig in their heels and determine what it is they can do as they question how we all got here in the first place. This is where Oscar Schindler comes in.
Few young people understand what one madman's regime inflicted upon selected religious and other minorities just eight decades ago. One man stood against the cunning of Hitler and his killers of over 6 million Jews. A German factory owner kept buying lives. Now with freedom's light at the end of a world at war tunnel, he mourns: "I could have saved more…."
When we think something like being shut-in drives us to anxiety and panic, imagine being human denied your home, family, food, health, basic rights, under constant threat of extermination in unimaginable and horrific ways.
Then imagine being a hero like Oscar Schindler — lifting, rescuing others…
Whatever comes of this present pandemic begun in Wuhan, being like Oscar was to the Jewish people meant the world now has tens of thousands more descendants to give thanks to one man for doing something.
The saying, "I may not be able to do everything, but I am able to do something…" has more meaning in moments like these. Perhaps it is simply our family, or maybe one friend, or perhaps even one stranger we can lift from despair. One thing is certain: doing something until the pandemic train reaches the end of the tunnel keeps us in the fight and who knows what it may mean to others?
We honor our first-line of defense responders to this new world of "shelter in place" and shutdowns. They include:
All health care workers, law enforcement, and fire & rescue personnel. Truckers and shippers, grocers, essential military, local and national government agencies tasked to keep necessary services operative, custodial help, and many more. God bless them all.
This movie clip says it all as the people Oscar Schindler saved during a manmade worldwide catastrophe known as World War Two's holocaust offer him the best gift of gratitude they can; a simple gold ring made from the tooth filling of one prisoner. WATCH:

AndroidJavaRunnable is the Unity representation of a java.lang.Runnable object.
Note that this is a delegate. As such, a new java.lang.reflect.Proxy object is created every time it is passed as an argument to Java. This means that passing a variable of AndroidJavaRunnable type to Java multiple times results in a new Java object each time with different hash code values. It also means that calling
equals() on the Java object created as a representation of an AndroidJavaRunnable variable always returns false, even when compared to itself.

BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - A man is being held on a $20,000 after he allegedly caused a crash that injured three people. Troopers believe he was intoxicated when it happened.
According to the probable cause report submitted by the Louisiana State Police, the crash happened on Sunday, April 20 at the intersection of Siegen and Kinglet. The driver who caused the crash, Jerry Lee Schmidt, 26, is accused of causing a three-vehicle crash.
"The crash happened around 6:15 p.m.," said Tpr. Jared Sandifer with LSP. "He was driving northbound on Siegen and he went to make a left hand turn at Kinglet when he pulled into the path of another vehicle. He struck that vehicle, which pushed into a third vehicle."
Three people from the primary vehicle struck were transported to the hospital with undisclosed injuries. Schmidt was also transported to the hospital where he was treated for moderate injuries.
"Upon coming in contact with the subject, he was incoherent and mumbling," the trooper noted in the report. "I could also smell a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on his breath as he spoke."
Schmidt was released from the hospital and transported to the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison. He is charged with DWI (second offense), careless operation, and vehicular negligent injuring (3 counts).

Maritime tradition meets modern technology: Laco maritime watches.
Just like the aviator watches, the Laco maritime watches allow you to hold one thing in particular in your hands: a piece of history. Both the aviator watches and the maritime watches from Laco look back on a legendary past and a rich history. The requirements to start constructing them came from the German Marine Observatory in Hamburg, and only a few factories were able to fulfil them in the 1940s. Laco was one of those companies. Today's watches are still oriented toward the look of yesteryear in their appearance. Thus, with a maritime watch from Laco watch manufacturing you always have a piece of history made in Germany in sight.

Yesterday I turned 29 weeks pregnant which means I officially have no more then 11 weeks left to be pregnant so I'm just trying to revel in that and relax while enjoying the good parts of being in the third trimester like feeling the baby move and shopping for new things! This past week I've definitely realized that the baby is starting to grow a lot because I can feel the itch and stretch in my stomach that has suddenly gone from not being a big deal to slightly uncomfortable. I'm ok with the uncomfy stuff that is coming my way because I know it's a sign of being in the home stretch and one day closer to meeting our little girl. When I think about being 30 weeks pregnant next Monday it's just astounding to me that we've gone 3/4ths of the way there and have just that last quarter to get through before we met her.
We're coming up on the part of pregnancy that is full of appointments and ultrasounds. I know that a lot of people dont' get to have late pregnancy ultrasounds but because of complications at the end of Jacob's pregnancy and my desire for a VBAC we are watching this baby closely. Tomorrow Mike and I are headed to the ultrasound clinic to have a growth scan done on baby girl to make sure she's growing properly and that the fluid levels are ok…at least I think we're also looking at the fluid levels since that was the problem with Jacob. On December 1st I have my 31 week appointment at which point we'll talk more about our VBAC plan and get clear on the reasons that we'd do a c-section…of course I feel like we are all clear about that….we'll do a c-section for any problem that requires immediate delivery, for any fluid level issues, and anything that could possibly come up that would require an early induction…otherwise I am good to go with the VBAC attempt until 40 weeks at which point if baby girl hasn't shown her pretty face we'll go ahead with the c-section on that day. At 35 weeks I have a biophysical profile ultrasound so that we can start to see how baby girl is doing with fluid, breathing, size, etc…and I'm sure at some point I'll have the group B strep test (I'm guessing around 35 -36 weeks).
It seems bizarre to be talking about the end of pregnancy like its just around the corner but it really is! We're thinking about registering Jacob for a siblings class which is hosted by the hospital that we're going to deliver at but we haven't gotten around to calling yet…I guess we're just obsessed with the move and getting everything organized for that! This week we've been focused on getting the things we need for Jacob's new big boy room and once that is all set up in the new house we'll start working on baby girl's room! We've already gotten the bedding and mom and I are going to work on making some curtains as well as some slip covers for the cushions on our glider! The finishing touches are defintely going to be the wall letters once we have named her and hopefully some matching outlet/light switch covers. In Jacob's room we didn't have a change table but we're going to have one this time but thankfully it coverts to a regular dresser top after so it will be able to grow with little girl as a dresser in her room. When mom and I went out shopping for the bedding I bought a cute lamp for the nursery and I'm excited to add some other accents like small white shelves, a toy bin (this use to be in jacob's room and we're swaping the red and blue bins for the pink and green at ikea…thanks Veronique for that idea). I think its going to look marvelous and its so exciting to think about!

I read The New Yorker semi-religiously. That is to say, I usually read it quite thoroughly, if not in an exactly timely fashion. One of the things I did over the holidays was to catch up on a few back issues that had been piling up.
Now, I have to say that I have read many articles in The New Yorker on subjects that I would not have initially considered interesting. Fascinating articles, I might add, on things like … Tiger Woods (I hate golf, I couldn't care less about Tiger Woods, but it was a great article), chefs I've never heard of, garden vegetables, leeches, boating on the Mississippi, and recently … wild hogs.
So, while reading my way through the Dec. 5, 2005 issue, I was delighted to come across a photo of someone I recognized. "Hey! That's Matthew Carter!" And it was with great anticipation that I sat down to read "Man of Letters," by Alec Wilkinson.
And I have to say it's been a long time since I read a more stilted, boring, unispired article than this one. The author writes in the shortest, choppiest sentences I've read in a while: like bullet points strung together in paragraphs. Waitaminnit … a memory from deep in the past emerges. Yes, that's it, having to write an essay for school on a subject which bored me to tears, I'd go through the reference material, make some lists, and then pile them into paragraphs as my body groaned with the supreme tediousness of it all.
From "Carter is sixty eight. He is British and he lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He works in a room in his apartment."
"Most of us see type as black marks against a white ground. Type designers see white space interrupted by black marks. Each letter has a boundary on either side called the side bearing. The letter "O" has the same side bearing on each side, but most letters do not." and on … these look exactly like the notes an author would take before sitting down to put them together in a readable, interesting article.
The article is remarkably long (not for The New Yorker, but for any article on a typographer, even compared to writings within the industry) and it does get interesting when the author starts to quote people—including Matthew Carter—directly. Partly because what they say is interesting (to me anyway), and partly because they speak in lucid, well constructed sentences.
To those who continually rant about the importance of typography as serving the text, might I just say that there are certain cases where it would be nice if the text were worthy of the typography. Or in this case, the typographer.
Maybe Alec Wilkinson just writes this way. About everything. Maybe he's famous for it. My opinion probably doesn't matter. But it was sad. A 7-ish page article in a major magazine. On typography. Written by someone who didn't care. Too bad.

The Promised Neverland is an upcoming live-action adaptation of the manga of the same name which was created by Kaiu Shirai and Posuka Demizu. The film is directed by Yūichirō Hirakawa, who is also known for directing films such as the critically acclaimed live-action film ERASED and the live-action Rookie film series. The script is penned by ERASED's scriptwriter Noriko Gotou. The film stars Minami Hamabe as Emma, Rihito Itagaki as Norman and Jyo Kairi as Ray. The Promised Neverland is scheduled to be released in winter of 2020.
Currently, the plot of the film remains unknown, but it is most likely adapting the Introduction Arc and the Jailbreak Arc, Chapters 1 to 37 of the manga, as implied via the still shots of the movie, which are re-enacted scenes of certain panels found in the manga.[1]
- Minami Hamabe as Emma
- Rihito Itagaki as Norman
- Jyo Kairi as Ray
The Promised Neverland is scheduled to be released in winter of 2020, with the announcement of the movie, cast and shots made available to the public on 26 September 2019. A broadcast advertising the movie was aired on 27 September 2019 one day following its announcement on Japanese TV network.[2] The official poster and website of the movie are made available so as to market the movie.
Following the movie's announcement, the actress who plays Emma, Minami Hamabe, self-professed herself as a fan of the series, and bought the print volumes and the e-book version of the manga. The actress also praised director Yūichirō Hirakawa and the staff for realizing the world of The Promised Neverland. She vowed to do her best in portraying Emma for everyone who loved the manga.[3][4]
The authors of The Promised Neverland manga, Shirai and Demizu, commented on the upcoming movie, with both of them being generally positive about it. The two have interacted with the staff members behind the movie as well.[5][6]
Commercial performance
Critical reception
- Brought up even by the author Shirai himself, the characters and setting were supposed to be western, thus implying how the characters are supposed to be from western ethnic groups. However, the characters in the movie are portrayed by eastern, Asian actors, hence the casting choices showed asian washing to a certain degree.
- In both the manga and the anime, Ray is the oldest among the trio, followed by Norman and then Emma. In the live-action movie, however, it is the reverse, with Ray being played by a 13 year old actor, Norman by a 17 year old and Emma by a 19 year old actress.
- It is noted that the live-action versions of the trio will be 15 in the movie, since the departure age for an orphan to leave Grace Field House was switched from 12 to 16.[7] The four year age increase will apply to the other orphans in the movie as well.
- This change is most likely necessary so as to better fit the ages of Emma's, Norman's and Ray's actors, who are 19, 17 and 13 respectively as stated in the previous trivia.
- Certain changes in physical appearance besides the aforementioned age increase are the clothes, hairstyle, hair color, eye color of the characters were made, implied or shown from the poster and footage that are currently available.

Complaint against AAP over 'misusing' national emblem
A social activist has filed a complaint against the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for allegedly misusing the National Emblem in the party's banners, logo and website.india Updated: Apr 04, 2013, 00:17 IST
A social activist has filed a complaint against the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for allegedly misusing the National Emblem in the party's banners, logo and website.
In his complaint to the Election Commission of India, Delhi Police and the union ministry of law, activist Shehzad Poonawal has alleged that the AAP continues to use the emblem despite giving an assurance to the poll panel when the party was registered.
"AAP, at the time of its registration, was specifically directed by the Election Commission of India not to use the National Emblem, Ashoka Chakra or any part in their letterhead or any other party materials in view of the provisions of the Emblems and Names (prevention of Improper Use) Act, 1950.
The party had assured the Election Commission that it had accepted its decision. Yet, in flagrant violation of its commitment, it continues to misuse the National Emblem. Appropriate action should be taken against the accused for violation of the statutory provisions," Shezad Poonawala has said in his copmplaint.
AAP spokesperson Manish Sisodia claimed the party had followed the guidelines of the Commission and removed the National Emblem from its website."The election commsion told us to follow certain guidelines when we applied for the registration," Sisodia said.

A parliamentarian has said the campaign against terrorism and religious extremism, which are major global threats, will be one of the main themes to be discussed in this year's Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) conference in Geneva, Switzerland.
Moayed Hosseini Sadr said the 131st IPU Assembly will be held from 12 to 16 October and Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani will attend the meeting.
He added it is expected that about 35 parliament speakers along with other high-profile parliamentary delegations will take part in the conference, IRNA quoted him as saying. The lawmaker also said the Iranian delegation will comprise seven MPs including one woman.
Established in 1889 the union is the focal point for worldwide parliamentary dialogue. The IPU works closely with the United Nations. It also cooperates with international intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations.
The IPU includes 145 parliament member states which convene assemblies twice a year (in the spring and autumn) every time in a different country. The organization is financed primarily by its members and has its headquarters in Geneva.

3g Mobiles in Colombia
almost 10 years ago about Colombia
I was wondering if 3g mobile phones work in Colombia. I looks like the mobile networks there use Triband phones and not 3g (same as Europe). For example, If I buy a sim card from Colombia and insert it in my 3g phone, will that work?
thank you :)

Somehow I had managed more than a quarter of a century in journalism without ever going to Davos. It had become almost a badge of honour, the one gathering of global nabobs I had been able to dodge year after year. But here I am in the mountains of Switzerland, a new boy amid the pilgrims come to worship at the altar of globalisation. I am international by profession and inclination — could a diplomatic correspondent be anything else? — but I can report that this annual meeting of the world's great and good makes itself easy to lampoon. One friend, also on his first Davos tour, says it is like a party conference for the guilty rich, a chance for elite business-folk to take time out from maximising shareholder value to worry about the world in which they make their profits. So here they are, flying in on thousands of private jets to express their concerns about climate change, agonising about social inequality after a morning on the slopes, fretting about populism before trying to catch a glimpse of Bono at a late-night party. Oh yes, some here do live the caricature.
And yet, you know what? It is actually quite fun and it also kind of works. That is the guilty secret of Davos. There is no host country trying to impose an agenda. There is no laborious communiqué to be crafted and then ignored. There are no votes to be held. So the business leaders and heads of government are free to do what they want: to talk and listen, to network and recruit, to open their eyes and ears to new trends and ideas. One businessman tells me it is the only place where CEOs get to talk face to face without their lawyers, and that makes deals easier. OK, the World Economic Forum — to give this conference its true name — probably does not have to be held in a swish ski resort, and its participants do not have to indulge their guilty globalism in such comfort. But if Davos did not exist, someone would probably have to invent it.

London, UK, 2013-11-14 — /travelprnews.com/ — In response to the announcement from the International Rugby Board regarding the official Overseas Travel Agents for Rugby World Cup 2015, VisitEngland's Chief Executive James Berresford said:
The announcement of the official fifteen Overseas Travel Agents (OTAs) so far in advance of the tournament in 2015 is great news for tourism. Over 400,000 international fans are expected to travel to this country for the competition and it is important that they can start planning and dreaming about their trips now, not only to secure tickets to specific games but also to plan a full itinerary to explore and enjoy England to the full while they are here.
With confirmed teams from major international markets including Australia, Canada, Italy, Ireland and France as well as South Africa and New Zealand, there is an excellent opportunity to raise awareness of England in these key markets. In addition, the planned cultural events leading up to and during the tournament, as well as live sites and the creation of dedicated 'fan zones' will undoubtedly provide an outstanding and memorable visitor experience.
We at VisitEngland are committed to working hand in glove with England Rugby 2015 and the host destination management organisations, venues and local authorities to deliver the best possible experience for all visitors (spectators, media and teams). Our integrated marketing strategy is designed to ensure that the tourism opportunities are exploited to the max to encourage longer stays, resulting in greater tourism spend in the destinations.
We look forward to working closely with the OTAs to ensure they have everything they need to inspire their clients to book full and varied itineraries to get as much out of enjoying the momentous tournament and England as possible.

Respectable Lady Katherine Baxton, striving to meet the requirements of her station, has become the ultimate dutiful daughter. And now, the Duke of Blackthorn's betrothed. Far from a love match, Kate is nevertheless determined to do as expected and marry.
That all changes the night she panics at her impending future and runs, stumbling upon a private grove, a mysterious tree . . . and a half-naked man.
The youngest son of a viscount widely thought to have purchased his title, Jackson Cooper demonstrates his disdain for the aristocracy by affording himself every luxury available—drinking, wenching, and gambling—while eschewing anything representing the ton. Jackson has little care for his reputation and no desire to marry. His escape from London is all but complete.
Until fate—in the form of a beautiful, mysterious lady—interrupts his plans, enticing him with the very thing he never wanted.

So as you know, yesterday I launched my business and made this blog official. Honestly, it didn't take as well as I wanted it to, but listen didn't we just discuss about not despising the day of small beginnings? Yeah, so let me go back and read that post and encourage myself….lol
Today, I want to encourage you to invest in yourself. I thought about this as I was preparing my launch and getting things in order. I was so determined to make this happen for myself that when I received my first payment from a contract, I took it and used it to pay for everything I would need to do from purchasing the domain names for my business and my blog, paying to have my business website built, purchasing custom emails for a more professional look and feel and even paying for some programs to be able to have clients request and pay for services. I felt like entering my card number was never ending…lol
But I knew I was worth it. I knew what I was doing was worth it, and I know for a fact that what I have initially invested in myself will reap a ten fold harvest in due season. And so it is with you, you have to be willing to invest in yourself just like you would invest in someone else starting their endeavor. Aren't you worth it? Don't you deserve it? I would think so, so do it!
Your assignment for today is to figure out how much it would cost to initially invest in yourself. For me, it was my first $200.00 I made for my business. For you it may be less, but be willing to figure it out. As you know, I am always here to answer any questions you may have and sharing with you which companies I used to invest in myself. You can reach me by texting DailyDose to 22828.
Listen, I am so excited about you and your future! I have a goal in mind that I want to do for beginning entrepreneurs so stay tuned for that information. In the meantime, Be Willing To Invest In Yourself! After all, if you don't believe in YOU, no one else will. And YOU ARE WORTH IT!
Here's to Your New Beginning!

|Generic Points System to use in Kings Of War Rules
Having played a few games at the club and practice games at home, I've come to like the simplicity of the rules and the game dynamic it produces.
No more HeroHammer or huge tomes to look through to see what the rules subsection states, and easy to get a game done in a short space of time.
Unfortunately, in there eagerness to get rules out to use their models, Alessio did a fine job but I do wonder about the costing of some of the units.
Lets take for example a Simple Regiment from the Undead and the Elves (20 strong unit with no Standard Bearer or Musician).
Skeleton Regiment (20)
Sp 5, Me 5+, De 4+, At 10, Ne 6 with Evil Dead, Shambling Horde and Phalanx rules @95pts
Elven Spearmen Regiment (20)
Sp 6, Me 4+, De 4+, At 10, Ne 6 with Elite and Phalanx rules @110pts
Some stats can be ignored as they will have no difference between the effectiveness of each unit.
So the main differences are:
1) Speed - Elves will likely get the charge in as they have a 2" advantage
2) Melee - Elves have a 1/6th better return on hitting their opponent
3) Elite - Elves get to re-roll 1 dice to hit and damage in each combat
4) Shambling Horde - Undead treat 'Wavering' results as 'Steady' when testing Nerve
5) Evil Dead - any damage points caused by the Undead remove a damage point from the ones currently affecting them
So is the 15pts difference balanced?
On a single unit vs single unit - probably close but with the Elves charging 1st they will likely win (I won't go into the MathHammer - so this is just based on my findings on rolling dice and the games I've played).
The real big difference in KoW is the impact Flank Charges have - the unit gains 2 X number of basic attacks, so the above units would get 25 aatacks on the flank (10 x 2 +5 for Phalanx).
But to get a flank charge on an even sized game, you would need to have 6 units of Elves (660pts) vs 7 units of Skeletons (665pts), then with Movement difference the Elves will still be in the better position.
Now I don't want this to sound as if the game needs a radical recalculation, it just needs some understanding of the points cost for each attribute and bonus to see if it can be balanced.
So now comes the maths.
If we take a Basic Stat Line to be Sp 5, Me 4+, De 4+, At 10, Ne 6 and cost that at 3pts
Then have the following modifiers:
Increase Speed by 1: +1pt
Decrease Me from 4+ to 5+: -1pt
Elite Rule: +1pt
Evil Dead Rule: +1pt
Shambling Horde: +1pt
Phalanx Rule: +1pt
So re-calculated unit costs would be
Skeleton Regiment (20) with Phalanx = 100pts (increase of 5pts)
Base - Me + Evil Dead + Shambling Horde + Phalanx = 3-1+1+1+1 =5pts each
Elven Spearmen Regiment (20) with Phalanx = 120pts (increase of 10pts)
Base + Sp + Elite + Phalanx = 3+1+1+1 = 6pts each
NOTE: A basic Skeleton Regiment (20) without Phalanx would cost 80pts (4pts each), same as original cost.
Well what do people think?
Comments and opinions welcome?
Next Blog: plan to work through points for all the regiments in Undead & Elven list and see how they vary; understand the points break/cost of Troops and Hordes vs Regiments
Long Term Goal: Work out points cost for other armies especially Night Goblins, Skaven, Ogre Kingdom and Warriors of Chaos
|Baragash [ Fri Jun 10, 2011 12:15 pm ]
The problem I have with this is that you've assumed a base cost of 1 point per skill per model. The reality might be fractions of points such that something is worth 10 points to a unit of 20 for example.
I experimented with a linear regression on about 20 units of WHF to derive points values to see if any were wildly under/over-costed in relation to each other, I think you've made me want to try it with KoW now
|estarriol [ Fri Jun 10, 2011 12:38 pm ]
OK, when re-engineering costs of a unit, this is a useful trick.
Multiply all values by 100, add them together then work on them, and at the end figure out the number you need to divide by to give you the book cost, this makes the maths a lot simpler, and gives you a correct value per figure to work out each stat or items cost.
Failing that, contact Mantic and see if they will release points makeup?
|Baragash [ Fri Jun 17, 2011 4:33 pm ]
I have actually tried a regression on the whole set of unit stats (yes I typed all 5 armies into a spreadsheet ) and the results were counter-intuitive (Elves too expensive, Undead too cheap, everyone else about right).
I need to refine the relationship between the unit size and some of the other variables, so we'll see how version 2 goes......

I grimaced when I saw Girl Scouts holding up Barbie dolls on TV the other day, my son nodding in approval of my distaste. Two groups — the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood and the Center for a New American Dream — want Girl Scouts of the USA to end a partnership with Mattel that puts Barbie patches on uniforms and Barbie activity books in their hands.
And then after the segment, the anchor said something that stopped me.
"I used to love playing with my Barbie doll when I was a little girl."
Like a flashback in a movie, I was sitting on my bedroom floor with my Barbie fold-out airplane and listening to record albums as I dressed up my dolls and acted out scenes. I suddenly remembered spending hours with the Barbie styling head where I could put makeup on her and do her hair. Then I recalled my Barbie townhouse with miniature record albums I kept inside and pretended to play when Ken or G.I. Joe came over for a visit.
I didn't share this with my son, it all came back to me so fast, but it got me thinking about the kneejerk reaction I had about the iconic doll — the only doll I enjoying playing with — and the reaction that anti-Barbie advocates are having about the partnership. "Holding Barbie, the quintessential fashion doll, up as a role model for Girl Scouts simultaneously sexualizes young girls, idealizes an impossible body type and undermines the Girl Scouts' vital mission to build 'girls of courage, confidence and character,' " said Susan Linn of Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood.
Barbie was never a role model for me, as I suspect it isn't for millions of other girls, now or in the past. She's a doll, and I think most kids are able to keep that in perspective. Although I did bleach my hair a few times over the years, have wanted to be thin and love dressing up, I embrace the body I have and celebrate it. Barbie never changed that either way.

There are currently 3.2 MILLION gigs on sale on Fiverr. That is a lot of competition. It's a challenge for all sellers to be easily found an Fiverr in the search results. When we are talking about gig SEO we are not referring to Google search rankings. This article is about how to get your gig ranked on top on Fiverr's internal search results page.
First of all it's worth understanding what search features Fiverr is offering.
Search filters:
Recommended – This is the default page – you need to do basically on with all SEO factors to get here. High rating, minimum level 1, established authors and trusted gigs will more likely to appear here.
High Rating – If you maintain high buyer rating % your chances of getting listed here is better
Express Gigs – You cater for this page if you offer 24h delivery (only from Level 1 status)
With Video – That's why they tell you to add a video… another chance to shine
New – This one is for providing fair play – If you are new that doesn't mean you won't get picked in search results. Many buyers think about "overdone gigs" and want fresh faces ideas. Your new offers will be listed here if they are relevant to the search keyword.
Some people will filter via categories (personally, I hardly use this option). It doesn't hurt if you pick a relevant one.
Ninja tip: there's a reverse tactic is: pick a non relevant category – this way your gig will stand out between the result as an unusual offer – they will click it just because it looks weird there.
Keyword in gig title:
This is the most important Fiverr SEO factor: ALWAYS put your target keyword(s) in the gig title.
Observe the screenshot below: ALL titles contain the exact match keyword combination I entered in the search field. Think with your buyers' head "What would they search for if they wanted to buy a gig like mine?". If you find the right answer to that question and add it to you gig title, your gig page views will rise and you will surely receive more orders via the search page.
Keyword in username:
If you specifically target a niche it is wise picking a Fiverr username containing your main keyword. This way you will be placed on the page that you can bring up by using the "Looking for users containing "your keyword" Click here" option. One more SEO improvement done.
The closer you are to 100% the higher you will rank. Simple stuff… easier said that done though. Keep your buyers happy and you will climb up in Fiverr SERPs. The volume of votes are doesn't always influence your search position. You don't need tons of votes, just make sure they are 5 stars.
Seller Level status:
Level 1 and Level 2 sellers will more likely to shown closer to the top as they are trusted and tried gig providers. That's understandable. To compensate this and give newbies a break there is a "New" filter that we mentioned earlier.

Syria mother nurtures a hope that her detainee son is alive
Opposition member Abdullah Suood had said he would rather die than return to Syrian government detention and torture. He hasn't been heard from in more than a year.
On the windowsill next to a photo of her four sons, Ahlam Suood kept her cellphone in the same spot, where the reception was best.
Throughout the day she would run to the phone, thinking she had heard it ring, worried she had missed a call.
"You can't even leave the phone, you keep checking it, maybe someone called," Suood said. "Any unknown number that rings, I call it back — maybe it's Abdullah."
She last saw her son Abdullah more than a year ago, when the 24-year-old university student was taken away by security forces.
The family was forced to flee their city of Maarat Numan in northern Syria's Idlib province late last year, and Suood stayed awake at night worrying that Abdullah would be released and then be unable to find her if he returned to the family home.
She refuses to even think about joining the growing exodus of Syrians who are leaving the war-torn country. Here, even in a town not her own, she feels closer to her son.
"I won't leave before Abdullah gets out," she said. "I'm not worth more than my children; I'm not worth more than Abdullah."
The Syrian civil war, now in its third year, has left more than 100,000 people dead, according to the most recent United Nations figures. About twice that number have disappeared inside government prisons or other security detention facilities where they languish in inhumane conditions, according to the opposition Syrian Network for Human Rights.
About 70,000 have not been heard from since they were taken, said the group's spokesman, Sami Ibrahim.
For families, the lack of information can foster hope that the detainee will eventually be released. On the other hand, the relatives may wait forever for closure.
Mothers like Suood live from one bit of news to the next.
Almost a year ago, a man was freed from prison and sent word to the family that Abdullah was alive and was expected to be released soon. Then, nothing. No release and no further news.
Whenever Suood heard of a newly freed detainee in Idlib province, she would make the trip to congratulate the man and his family and inquire about her son. It is a largely futile practice repeated by other families desperate for any word of a loved one.
In late May, a rebel fighter contacted the Suood family and told them he had been with Abdullah in a Damascus intelligence compound known as the Palestine branch.
The fighter, released as part of a prisoner swap for government soldiers, said Abdullah was in relatively good health despite the difficult conditions. But even that bit of good news was laced with the ominous.
In the Palestine compound, the freed fighter said, prisoner executions had become regular occurrences. At times, he told them, the hallways flowed with blood.
But Suood's hope persists.
"You dream every day that tomorrow he's going to be released," she said, wringing her hands. "When my [other] sons come, I dream that it's going to be him ringing the doorbell."
When you first fall into the hands of the security forces, you don't know what your fate is or where your destiny lies. You know you can die in any way."
— Abdulrahman Suood
Abdulrahman Suood can't remember his experience in government detention without thinking about his older brother Abdullah.
"When you first fall into the hands of the security forces, you don't know what your fate is or where your destiny lies," the 22-year-old said. "You know you can die in any way."
The brothers were crammed into 13-square-foot cells that held dozens of men. They were regularly beaten, but nothing was worse than the degradation, he said.
Once when Abdulrahman was undergoing a strip search and interrogation, a guard asked him where he was studying.
He said he was a mechanical engineering sophomore at Aleppo University, a public university.
"You're studying with us and you're coming out in protest against us," the guard said, and then spit on him.
Their days were filled with interrogations and waiting in rooms so crowded with detainees that they had to take turns sleeping.
"The wait is very hard. Every night I would pray that the next morning I would hear my name and I would be released," he said.
In April, Human Rights Watch visited state security and military intelligence facilities in Raqqah province, now under opposition control, where they found documents, prison cells, interrogation rooms and devices consistent with the torture former detainees have described.
Since the beginning of the uprising in March 2011, the rights group has documented the systematic patterns of abuse and torture, which it says amount to crimes against humanity. The group has urged the U.N. Security Council to refer the situation in Syria to the International Criminal Court.
The last time Abdulrahman saw his brother was on April 20, 2012, when they were taken out of their cells in Damascus to be interrogated.
When he was released after three months, Abdulrahman at first couldn't believe it. He still doesn't understand why he was let go and Abdullah wasn't.
"I can't forget what happened. I try not to think about it, but there are some things that you keep remembering," he said. "Abdullah doesn't leave my mind at all."
When Abdullah Suood was released after his first detainment, he vowed never to be taken alive again.
"Let them kill me rather than detain me," he would say.
Before the uprising began, Abdullah was one of many online activists trying to organize protests to emulate the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt. He went to Aleppo three times in February 2011 for planned protests that never materialized.
On his fourth trip, just before demonstrations broke out across the country, Abdullah was arrested and held for two months, enduring what he described as regular beatings and electric shocks.
It was Abdullah who inspired his family to join the uprising. His father, a doctor, volunteers in the field hospital and two of his brothers work in Maarat Numan's media office. Ahlam Suood knits scarves and sweaters in the colors of the opposition flag.
"He wasn't afraid," Suood said of her son.
But his time in prison changed him.
He began carrying a handgun wherever he went in case he was caught again. He didn't plan to use it against the security forces, but to make them kill him once he brandished the gun.
But a twist of fate robbed him of the gun in February 2012.
Abdullah and Abdulrahman were on their way from their hometown to Aleppo to attend upcoming protests. They were halted on the highway by Bedouin thieves who took the gun, their money and their cellphones.
After the robbery, the brothers continued to Aleppo. At a gas station there, they were stopped by security officers.
In his pocket, Abdullah had a list of activists and the phone number for Col. Riad Assad, then head of the rebel Free Syrian Army. Abdullah was accused of being an opposition coordinator, a media activist and a source for Al Jazeera news channel, viewed as pro-opposition.
From there he disappeared into the labyrinth that frightened him more than death.

'The bang woke me up' - Gorleston man's account of death crash
PUBLISHED: 13:34 01 June 2018 | UPDATED: 17:13 01 June 2018
A Gorleston man has given his account of the crash that killed a man in the early hours of this morning.
The white Honda Accord was travelling towards Gorleston town centre on Beccles Road when it crashed into the wall of the A47 bypass at around 1.15am.
The driver, who was in his 50s, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Stuart Pearce, who lives in Beccles Road, said the sound of the crash woke him up.
He said: "The bang woke me up and I thought some boys had thrown something in a skip or banged a pole or something.
"But soon all these blue lights started going past, so I knew something had happened.
"I put some clothes on and had a look and there were about five police cars and a couple of fire engines that had cut the doors off the car.
"When I went back out on my dog walk at around 6.30am the road was still closed, but there were a few cars parked outside the vets having a look.
"It's like a race track down here with the lights and the lanes, so people often speed past to avoid getting stuck behind lorries."
The road was reopened at around 7.30am and police are appealing for witnesses to the crash to come forward.
A spokesman said: "Officers are keen to hear from anyone who may have witnessed the incident, or has information concerning the driving manner of the vehicle prior to the collision.
"Anyone with information should contact the Serious Collision Investigation Team on 101."

You shouldn't use the C&C:Online launcher to launch Generals or Zero Hour. If you are playing only those games, you should unhook and uninstall the C&C:Online launcher and install GenTool. When you have done that, you just launch the game from its ordinary shortcut. If you are using the Ultimate Collection, you should install this first; C&C Ultimate Collection Launchers.Go to the full post

Would you recommend this product?No reviews yet
Welcome, Product Hunters! For 2 days only, we're releasing Hiboo in exclusivity, before everyone else on ProductHunt! We're very excited to be here! It's super early but your feedback is very important so we'd love to know what you think! HOW IT WORKS Hiboo allows you to see what your friends type in real-time. No need to wait or no tap "send" anymore, you communicate at the speed of thought. FUTURE FEATURES? Just for you, here is a sneak peak of the secret sauce coming! Think real-time stickers, think real-time group chats. And why limit that to an app? Think about Medium Meeting Twitch: A platform where writers could write their stories in realtime to their readers. EASTER EGGS! We've put all our love into building this lovely product and we really hope you like it! Pssst: There are easter eggs on the page for you to find! I'll be around here and you can also reach me on Twitter https://twitter.com/stylizit or at email@example.com Thanks a lot! Matt (Co-Founder)
@jcampbell_05 @hiboo There's one we can grossly qualify as an Easter egg. Hint: it's a cat. But there will be more to come in the next updates :) What would you like to have?
@jcampbell_05 @hiboo That's a great idea James! We'll definitely do something about it on our roadmap!
Not sure if I'm missing the allure completely here... I don't want people to see what I'm typing (especially if it were to a girl I wanted to date or something), so not sure I'd opt in for this feature. I can also imagine people wouldn't want me reading theirs either. It's a cool idea. But I feel like it's a novelty thing I dont need to see what they are typing, but just want the end product (the message). So what big benefit would I get from seeing it in real time?
@bentossell mmmm, save time? Usually you can figure out what person wants to tell you by a few words
@bentossell Hi Ben! Thanks for your feedback! I completely get your concerns. The main advantage here is that we completely strip off the latency of composing a message: You really communicate at the speed of thought here. In a way, you are getting closer to real-life conversations, in the same way that in real-life you can't CTRL-Z what you just said! ;) We can even argue that the traditional way of sending SMS has deformed our true way of communicating and that Hiboo is the cure, but that would be pretentious :) And this is only the beginning, everything that's time-sensitive can be improved. Think about Periscope, wouldn't it be great to have our feature integrated? You'd be able to enjoy the full real-time experience!
@bentossell Think of it like multidimensional texting. Instead of one static message, it's a conversation that evolves from the moment the thought happens. It's much faster, but it also tends to be incredibly funny and actually rather flirty. I've found that it's actually particularly effective to speak to people that you'd like to date.
@tweetanor @stylizit @come_rad appreciate you all jumping in here:) So for time-saving... I'm not sure it would shave off any significant time for me for assuming what someone is going to say. (often this gets people into trouble haha) I'd have to be in the Hiboo app and focusing on the message being typed anyway so that seems to eliminate this use for longer messages, to me it wouldn't make sense. Most of my messaging communication (whether that is whatsapp, FB messenger, iMessage etc) I am already sending one line messages and sometimes multiple ones. and the recipient does the same. That is simulating real-time communication. And often I can throw in an audio note etc too. Whatsapp conversations for me are so quick and back and for that I just can't really see the benefit of seeing what is being typed. I'm struggling to see what the perfect use-case would look like here for me.
@bentossell @tweetanor @come_rad Actually if you're a fan of throwing audio notes in your messages, Hiboo is very nice for you because you can use dictation and your friends will be able to see the text from your recordings in real-time!
Hibooo, Product Hunters, I am Andriy - CTO & Co-founder of Hiboo. I am usually quite annoyed to be stuck in the app and star at "typing " bubble. Also, I usually send many short messages to keep the other person engaged. To solve these problems, we at Hiboo developed the iOS app for you! I mainly worked on logic and networking part of iOS app and our backend. If you guys are interested how everything works, say hi me in Hiboo! :-) Feel free to invite your friends to the app, as messaging becomes quite boring when you are all alone :-) Thanks, firstname.lastname@example.com Andriy
@jcampbell_05 in average, it transfers 10-20x more text than usual messaging apps. However, text data is really tiny compared to media content that you consume in other apps. Not sure I can provide quantitate info about battery usage but it is not much different from other messaging apps.
reminds me of ICQ from back in the day. always loved the live type feature. good luck with this!
@thejeremycarson Hi Jeremy, thanks for your support! People also referred to ICQ back in the days and I'm afraid I have no choice but to trust them 100% as I was a bit too young to remember that :)
Hello Product Hunters! I'm Eleanor, the product geek joining Matt and Andriy with this lovely app. Feel free to shoot your questions in my direction, I'd love to chat. Thank you all for being so wonderful with your support and feedback! Eleanor ( email@example.com, http://twitter.com/tweetanor )

Georges St-Pierre to Start 6-Week Camp with Freddie Roach
Thursday November 5, 2015– Freddie Roach who is St-Pierre's longtime boxing coach, was in attendance for a press conference to promote the upcoming boxing match for November 21st. A boxing match that all boxing fans are looking forward to is the Canelo Alvarez vs. Miguel Cotto. Fight Hub TV was on scene and talked to Roach about St-Pierre's possible return in MMA.
As we all remember, St-Pierre vacated the UFC Welterweight Title afer a controversial split-decision win over Johny Hendricks at UFC 167.
You can watch the video below where Roach states:
"He's going to train for a fight. He's going to have a six-week training camp"
"And at the end of the six weeks, if he feels like he's ready to fight, and he's hungry for it like he always has been, he's going to do it. He's going to fight one more time."
But don't get your hopes up just yet as Roach also sates:
"If he doesn't feel it, and he feels like it's just not there, he's going to let it go and he's going to retire. I think it's a good idea. I think it's really, really smart to do that, to see where he's at in his mind"
"I really look forward to this training camp.

Size effect in carbon fiber/epoxy resin composite
No Thumbnail
AuthorsStevanovic, MM
Elhisnavi, AA
Pesikan, DR
MetadataShow full item record
Size effect in carbon fiber/epoxy resin unidirectional composites was studied, by analyzing this effect in carbon fibers, as well as, in unidirectional composites themselves. Carbon fibers were tested by the single-filament tensile test with different gauge lengths (measured strengths and failure strains), while the unidirectional composite coupons of different dimensions were tested by standard static tensile tests (measured strength values). The obtained tensile strengths were analyzed according to the Weibull statistical strength theory for brittle materials, by comparing the variations in sample strengths (failure strains) during increase in samples dimensions with the variability scatter of results for individual samples around the mean values. Performed analysis has shown that the size effect in carbon fibers can fully be described by the Weibull theory. However, due to complex failure propagation, composites exhibit pronounced size effect, but followed by reduced strength variab...ility. It makes detected composites size effect behavior different from that in brittle materials.

In marketing, there's nothing like a bit of jargon. We sometimes forget that this means nothing to most people who nod along while we passionately ramble about CTR and CPC. Here, I have put together a glossary of marketing terms to help you understand what we're talking about. This will give you the tools to ask important questions about your marketing activity.
A/B Testing
Comparing two variations of a single marketing output to improve marketing efforts. This can be through email marketing (differences in the subject line or copy), calls-to-action (differences in colours or message), and landing pages (differences in content or call-to-action).
Ad Copy
Ad copy is content that is designed to get the reader to respond or take action and should include a powerful headline.
Ad Blocking
This is usually an add on to your web browser that stops advertisers showing you adverts.
Any form of marketing communication that has been paid for.
Advertising Network
This is a network of websites that sells advertising to people who want to reach a broad audience.
Advertorial is a piece of content that has been paid for, for example an article about the benefits of fruit juice that has been sponsored by an orange juice brand.
Affiliate marketing
This is a way of monetising your site by hosting links or ads to other sites' products or partnering with other sites that will promote your products; there is very little risk involved in affiliate marketing as you only pay for sales or leads that meet your criteria and you get paid for any sales that can be tracked back to your site.
Analytics is the unearthing and communication of patterns in data. In marketing, it's looking at your data (website visitor reports, social, PPC, etc.), analysing the trends, and developing insights to make informed marketing decisions
Application Programming Interface (API)
APIs are a series of rules in computer programming, which allow an application to take information from a service and use that information either in their own application or in data analyses. APIs take information from one system and deliver it to another.
An autoresponder is a program that sends an automatic response to incoming emails.
B2B (Business-to-Business)
B2B describes an audience or target market, generally it means that you are selling from one business to another as the product is aimed towards business and not for the general public.
B2C (Business-to-Consumer)
B2C describes an audience or target market, generally it means that you are selling from a business to a customer or end user as the product is aimed towards the general public and is not suitable for business use.
Banner ads
Graphics used as advertising across the internet. In advertising terms, banner ads are more specific and represent an advert that measures 468 x 60 pixels.
Below the Fold
Below the fold is any content online that is only visible once a user has scrolled down. The term comes from a folder newspaper in a rack; anything is below the fold requires additional effort to view.
This is short for web log. A personal blog or business blog will be updated regularly and can contain commentary, photos and video.
Your brand is what distinguishes your business from others. This can include a combination of logos, fonts, colours and tone of voice.
Brand Identity
Brand identity is the message the customer takes from the product, person, or thing and will connect to product recognition.
Bounce Rate
Email bounce rate - the rate at which an email was incapable of delivery to a recipient's inbox. A high bounce rate can indicate that your email list is out-of-date or has a lot of invalid email addresses.
Website bounce rate - the proportion of people who land on your website and then leave without clicking on anything else or navigating to any other pages. A high bounce rate leads to poor conversion rates because no one is staying on your site long enough to read your content or convert on a landing page.Sometimes a high bounce rate is ok, your should consider you bounce rate amongst a range of factors. What is there to do on the page? Does your conversion action take a user to a microsite or to an external site to make payment? If so, the user can only bounce if they want to buy your product.
Buyer Persona
A representation of your customer based on market research and data about your existing customers.
A call-to-action is a link, button or image that encourages a website visitor to take a converting action i.e. 'Subscribe Now', 'Buy Now', 'Learn More' or 'Download the Whitepaper'.
Churn Rate
A measurement of how many customers you retain and at what value. This is typically calculated by dividing the number of customers you lost during a period of time by the total number of customers you had at the very beginning of that time (excluding all new sales in this time period).
If you had had 500 customers at the beginning of October and only 450 customers at the end of October, your churn rate would be (500-450)/500 = 50/500 = 10%.
Click Through Rate (CTR)
The percentage of your audience that clicks through from one part of your marketing to another. To calculate this, take the number of clicks and divide it by the number of opportunities to click.
i.e. 50 clicks from a pool of 1500 opportunities gives a click through rate of 3%.
Closed-Loop Marketing
Closed-loop marketing is executing and tracking to demonstrate how marketing efforts have impacted growth.
Conversion Path
A conversion path is a series of web based actions that deliver data capture. In exchange for contact information, a website visitor gains a content offer to help them through the buying process. A conversion path can be made up of a call-to-action that leads to a landing page with a data capture form, which redirects to a thank you page which contains a whitepaper or an offer.
Content is a piece of information that exists to be processed, engaged with, and shared. Content typically comes in the form of a blog, video, social media post, photo, slideshow, or podcast, although there are plenty of other types out there. From website traffic to lead conversion to customer marketing, content plays an indispensable role in a successful inbound marketing strategy.
Content Management System (CMS)
The behind-the-scenes web application for editing websites and managing web content.
Contextual Advertising
This is advertising that has been secured on the basis of a website displaying relevant content. If you sell shoes then you might want to buy advertising space on a website about shoe care; this would demonstrate contextual advertising, however it is rarely that specific.
Conversion Rate
The proportion of people who completed a desired action on a web page, such as filling out a form. A high conversion rate demonstrations a strong webpage.
Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO)
Improving website conversions by testing, designing and adapting webpages to create a better experience for your customers. This can be applied to social media, CTAs, and other parts of your marketing.
Cookies are pieces of information that is stored on a user's computer by a website which remembers what action was taken on your visits.

Cost-per-click (CPC)
This is a model that enables you to calculate how much was paid per click. This is also a payment model that is used in advertising.
Cost-per-Lead (CPL)
The amount it costs you to obtain a lead. This is calculated by the cost of your marketing divided by the amount of leads.
Cost-per-mille (CPM)
This is a model that enables you to calculate how much was paid per 1000 impressions. This is also a payment model that is used in advertising.
Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
A program that keeps track of everything about your customer, including sales and enquiries. A CRM will also hold prospective customer information so that you can record what sales and marketing touch points have occurred between your company and the current or potential customer.
CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets, and it's what gives your entire website its style, including colours, fonts, and background images. It's also what allows websites to adjust to different screen sizes and device types.
Direct Mail
Direct mail is a form of marketing where businesses send letters, postcards or other promotional materials through the post.
Dynamic Content
Dynamic content allows you to display personalised content to your website visitors based on what you already know about them. This makes your customer feel more welcome and involved in your site. Dynamic content could be shopping suggestions based on products that they have purchased, special offers specific to their habits or even a personal welcome to them.
Ebooks is, as it sounds, an electronic book. They usually contain as much information as a traditional book but are hosted electronically.
Editorial Calendar
A calendar for content creation, showing you what kind of content to create, what topics to cover, which personas to target, and how often to publish to support your strategy best. An editorial calendar will help you ensure you're doing the right things for your personas.

Frequency is that amount of times a user was shown a specific advert, some advertising platforms allow you to cap this to a fixed amount.
Hashtags are used on social media and enable people to have conversations about a piece of content or theme. A hashtag can be searched on across social media platforms and search engines to show a string of comments and conversations on the tag.
HTML means HyperText Markup Language, which is used to write web pages and provides the basic structure of the site which is then improved and adapted by other pieces of code like CSS and JavaScript.

Lifecycle Stages
These are a way to describe the relationship you have with your audience, and can usually be broken down into three stages: awareness, evaluation, and purchase.
Lifetime Value (LTV)
Lifetime value is used to predict the net profit attributed to the whole future relationship with a customer. To calculate LTV, take the revenue the customer paid you over a specific period of time, subtract from your gross margin and divide this by the estimated churn rate for that customer.
Long-Tail Keyword
A long-tail keyword is a very targeted search phrase that contains three or more words i.e. monster games online, monster costumes for kids, monster videos on YouTube
Long-tail keywords are more specific, which means visitors who land on your website from a long-tail search term are more qualified and more likely to convert.

Marketing automation is a platform with associated tools and analytics to develop a lead nurturing strategy.
Behaviour-based marketing automation is a system that triggers emails and other communications based on user's activity on and off your site.
Microsites are used to create a different online experience for their audience separate from their main website. These sites often have their own domain names and distinct visual branding.

Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR)
The amount of revenue a subscription-based business receives per month.
Native Advertising
A type of online advertising that takes on the form and function of the site it appears on. Its purpose is to make ads feel less like ads, and more like part of the conversation. This could be a piece of sponsored content (sometimes referred to as advertorial).
Objectives are goals that have measurable metrics for how and when you will achieve them.
This is a process for getting the best from your marketing activity. Optimisation involves looking at how a user interacts with your marketing and making changes to improve performance.
