Talking currencies is back in vogue again. The ebbs and flows of the news cycles surrounding the renminbi, yen, real, and dollar almost resemble the wild swings of the currencies themselves. Why the sudden revival of interest in the mass media about so esoteric a topic as exchange rates? After all, in the rarified world of economic theory, countries would allow their national monies to be freely determined by markets for foreign exchange; in return, the market-established rate would magically eliminate imbalances in national trading accounts.
Important developments today:
1. U.S. business capital spending still strong
2. The number of contracts to purchase previously owned homes in the U.S increased by 4.3%
3. August retail sales in Germany fell by 0.2%
In U.S. economic news today: personal consumption expenditures (PCE) in August beat market expectations, by rising a fairly sharp 0.4% (m/m) for a second month in succession. The gains were rooted in a favorable 0.5% monthly rise in personal incomes (the biggest advance of 2010), while the household saving rate moved up by a tenth of a point to 5.8%. This development adds more support to the view that U.S. domestic demand should continue on a modest (and likely decelerating) growth course over the remainder of 2010.
Important developments today:
1. Moody's downgrades Spain's credit rating by a notch
2. U.S economy grew by 1.7% in Q2
3. U.S. workers filing new claims for unemployment insurance fell by 16000
Important developments today:
1. German government bond yield reaches three-week low on demand for safe-haven assets.
2. Confidence in euro zone rises in spite of market concerns
Important developments today:
1. Treasuries advance amid lingering European debt concerns
2. U.S home prices rise moderately in July

There's been many stories over the years about strange goings-on at the Rochester Public Library that employees decided to call in paranormal investigators to take a look. The results will air on the SyFy Channel Wednesday night.
The Atlantic Paranormal Society from the show "Ghost Hunters" was in town in August to investigate the Rundel Library. Employees have reported seeing moving shadows among the "upper stacks" in the basement.
As for why the library should be haunted? There are rumors of a woman named Laura Young whose body was found back in 1902 in the Erie Canal, which ran right under where the library is now.
"The end of the mill race, where she washed up, is located directly below where the library stands now. So the theory goes that possibly the tragic death of Mrs. Young is what is haunting the library today," said Sally Snow, assistant director of the Monroe County Library System.
A door on an upper floor has also been seen on camera opening and closing by itself.
The lead investigator is a Western New York native and the show has featured several local places before.
The Rundel Library episode airs Wednesday at 9 p.m. and again at 11 p.m on SyFy.

Clean Ruby 1.0 is released!
by Jim
I'm excited to be able to call Clean Ruby "final".
The compliments to that work have been great. Here's just a few comments I've received for Clean Ruby:
"The current version of Clean Ruby is a great start on a critical topic. Learning how to keep code clear and understandable is useful for any kind of project. I've already applied a couple of ideas from the book to keep a project from mumbling in the shadows." —David Richards
"I have not come across such a revelatory approach to things since first learning OOP." —Mike Pence
"Clean Ruby from Jim Gay will change the way you design your Rails apps" —Hector Sansores
As time goes on, I'll be updating the book with changes to Ruby and new ideas, but it's at a point where you can get some great techniques. Self-publishing this book has been wonderful for handling updates; I'm able to make changes and get them in the hands of my customers as soon as I can. I'm not limited by a publishing house setting my schedule.
My free newsletter has helped me engage with developers from all over the world. I'll be continuing writing there and releasing more useful tools like Casting and Surrounded. I'm eager to try screencasts and more books.
Grab a copy of Clean Ruby and help me celebrate by using the code TAKE10 for $10 off!
Avoiding errors when forwarding to missing objects
by Jim
The "final" update for Clean Ruby will be released soon. More on that below, but first here are some thoughts on what to do when you've got a missing object.
The Ruby standard library Forwardable is really useful for raising up valuable information and hiding unimportant details.
A single line of code can configure the relationship between two objects and the data they share.
delegate [:street, :city, :state] => :address
I'm often asked: what happens if that address is nil?
In this case, you'll see an error about an undefined method on nil:
NoMethodError: undefined method `street' for nil:NilClass
You might want that, or you might not. It depends on how you want to structure your program.
When using the Forwardable library, the street method above will raise an error if address is missing.
But, it might make the most sense for your application that if there is no address, then there is obviously no street. So a method that handles this will make more sense:
def street
if address
With this requirement, Forwardable seems useless. I don't have a way to configure Forwardable to just skip the nil object and the forwarded message. ActiveSupport (and Rails) adds its own answer to this problem.
delegate :street, :to => :address, :allow_nil => true
By specifying allow_nil the call to street will silently continue returning nothing if the address is nil. This type of approach to managing nil objects is valuable when it's what you want (of course), and can be a life-saver when you're dealing with a large and/or unfamiliar codebase that's throwing up errors where you don't expect them.
A problem with this approach, however, is that the absence of a an object might be an indication that you're missing some vaulable setup steps. Perhaps a missing address is a problem and removing the error hides the problem. You can take your error as encouragement to use a null object, an object which will stand-in for your missing address.
class Person
def initialize(address)
@address = address
def address
@address || DefaultAddress.new
You likely have a different way to initialize your objects, but with something like the above code we can use a DefaultAddress which can answer for your missing address.
class DefaultAddress
def street
"123 Home Base"
By following this design you can easily change your program from displaying nothing, as you do in the case of allow_nil, to displaying a default value. But what's great about this structure is that you can change the default behavior without any change to your Person class.
Before reaching for an option like allow_nil, consider an alternative object instead. How do you handle nil objects in your code?
Lastly, Clean Ruby is out and you can get it now! I'll be keeping the book up to date with relevant changes to Ruby or with any good techniques for Object-oriented programming so "final" true, barring any updates that come along.
Shorter, simpler code with Forwardable
by Jim
I often find that visual distractions slow me down. Reading simple code with familiar concepts feels cumbersome when I have to sort through repetition to find the meaning.
Take a glance at this code to see what I mean:
class Person
def street
def city
def state
Although the code is short, you have to think a bit before you realize that all of these methods do basically the same thing.
Ruby has a built-in way to bring the information out of this code: Forwardable.
I touched on using Forwardable in a previous article but we'll look closer at what's happening and why you want to use it.
The code above merely forwards the given method to another object. In this case if you try to get address details from a "Person", it will automatically pass it along to the related "address" object.
Given that the procedure is so simple and common in the code, I'd much rather have a way to read that information faster.
require 'forwardable'
class Person
extend Forwardable
delegate [:street, :city, :state] => :address
With this code, the concept of forwarding a message to a collaborating object is so clear that it reads like configuration.
Good configuration is fast and easy to understand.
Forwardable works essentially the same way that the longform code above does. You can provide a list of methods which should be sent to a particular object. Here's what a simplified version of what Forwardable looks like:
module Forwardable
def delegate(hash)
hash.each{ |methods, accessor|
methods.each{ |method|
instance_eval %{
def #{method}(*args, &block)
#{accessor}.__send__(:#{method}, *args, &block)
The "delegate" method accepts a hash where the keys are the method names to forward and the values are the object names to receive the forwarded messages.
For each item in the hash, it will loop through each method name and define a method using instance_eval and the generated string. Those methods send the message along to the object you specified.
The Forwardable code looks complicated, but it's merely 2 loops over a hash and an array, then the instance_eval. The ultimate result is the equivalent of the original code above. With some simple iteration and dynamically defining methods, Forwardable helps us strip away the unimportant parts and raises the valuable information to the top:
delegate [:street, :city, :state] => :address
This shows us what methods will be sent to which object without any additional code to sort through. What could be simpler or easier to scan and understand?
The tools that are right under your nose
by Jim
I recently had a fantastic experience giving a presentation at RubyConf called The Secrets of the Standard Library. The slides are available and once the video is up I'll send along a link to that.
There are no secrets in the Standard Library
There are no secrets, of course, because the code is right there for you to read but many developers don't realize that powerful tools like SimpleDelegator and Forwardable are built into Ruby. There's no gem to find and install, just require the file you need and you've got it. It's as easy as:
require 'delegate'
class MyWrapper < SimpleDelegator; end
require 'forwardable'
class MyClass
extend Forwardable
My goal in the RubyConf presentation was to show that these tools are available and to describe how they work. Using the tools is one thing, but understanding them is another.
In previous posts we've been looking at ways to use SimpleDelegator to handle presentation behaviors and there's been a bit of Forwardable too. Once you've got a clear understanding of them, you can be more creative with their use and build your own tools to make your code more habitable.
I find that implementing my own library can be a great exercise in understanding an existing one. It was fun to write two short lines in an attempt to create SimpleDelegator and Forwardable in what would fit in less than 140 characters:
# My SimpleDelegator
class D;def initialize(o);@o=o;end;
def method_missing(m, *r, &b);@o.send(m,*r,&b);end;end
# My Forwardable
module Fwd;def fwd(a,m,n=m);self.class_eval
"def #{n}(*r,&b);#{a}.__send__(:#{m},*r,&b);end";end;end
Expanding those out with more descriptive names reveals a bit more about what they do:
# My SimpleDelegator
class Delegator
def initialize(object)
@object = object
def method_missing(method, *args, &block)
@object.send(method, *args, &block)
# My Forwardable
module Forward
def forward(to, method_name, alternative=method_name)
self.class_eval "
def #{alternative}(*args, &block)
#{to}.__send__(:#{method_name},*args, &block)
In both my simple implementation and the actual implementation one uses
method_missing at run time and the other defines methods at compile time.
Knowing this, and seeing how they work, can help you make decisions about when to use one over the other. Defined methods are faster than
method_missing but they require a more rigid structure.
When do you use SimpleDelegator and when do you use Forwardable?
I generally follow these simple rules for choosing which library to select:
- Use SimpleDelegator when you either don't know or don't care which messages may be sent to your object. This excepts (of course) the methods you define in your wrapper.
- Use Forwardable when you know the messages to forward ahead of time.
Both libraries follow the same pattern that a message to one object will be sent along unaffected to the relevant object. But there are times when building your own gives you a better understanding and more control over when errors occurr.
Building your own SimpleDelegator can be tricky. There's quite a lot of work done for you already to help ensure that your wrapper acts like the wrapped object so do read the code and get familiar with the trade-offs when writing your own.
Errors instead of method_missing
Sometimes you may want more control or restriction on the behavior of objects.
You can build a wrapper with Forwardable, for example, by swapping out the object of concern and instead of everything passing through
method_missing, you'll get a
Here's a short example:
class Person
attr_accessor :name, :color, :number, :email
require 'forwardable'
class Wrapper
extend Forwardable
delegate [:name, :color, :number] => :person
attr_accessor :person
wrapper = Wrapper.new
wrapper.person = person1
wrapper.name #=> person1 name value
wrapper.person = person2
wrapper.name #=> person2 name value
wrapper.email #=> NoMethodError
A wrapper like this allows us to specify only the methods we want to pass-through and any others that
person may have will raise an error.
How have you used these libraries? How do you decide what to use?
What have you built to do similar things?
Last but not least, I recently wrote about undestanding delegation on my blog and how it helped me create the
casting gem.

Delegation is Everything and Inheritance Does Not Exist
by Jim
Sharing behavior among and between objects requires a balanced decision. Will other objects use this behavior? Which ones? Why? Should I make a new class to handle what I need?
Determining answers led me to dive into exactly what delegation is and inevitably led to more research to get a better understanding of inheritance.
Prefer delegation over inheritance goes the standard advice.
It seems that many developers think about inheritance in terms of classes. Classes define everything about your objects so it must be the only way to handle inheritance. We tend to think about delegation in terms of instances of classes as well.
This mental model mostly works well. But then there's always someone who points out a seemingly contradictory phrase…
Delegation is Inheritance
Lynn Andrea Stein argued that Delegation is Inheritance in her 1987 OOPSLA paper of the same name. It's a fantastic read and an important paper in describing the behavior of Object-oriented systems and what the costs and benefits are to different inheritance schemes.
But this title seems to go against a simple mental model of what inheritance and delegation are.
Classes and Prototypes
First and foremost, object-oriented programs tend to have either class-based or prototype-based inheritance.
Sometimes you'll see comments around the web like this
a problem that Javascript is having is people wanting to force OOP on the language, when fundamentally it's a prototype-based language
It's certainly a good thing to understand the way a language was designed, but there is no dichotomy between OOP and prototypes.
Prototypes are an object-oriented paradigm.
Classes are a paradigm which groups objects by type. Classes generate instances whose abilities are defined by their class. This is a rigid approach to sharing behavior and is the one provided in Ruby.
Prototypes on the other hand share behavior among individual objects. An object's prototype defines behaviors that may be used on the object itself.
Perhaps a problem that people see in JS development is instead forcing a class-based paradigm on their programs. Perhaps not. I'm not venturing into that debate but recognize that prototypes are OO.
Inheritance Through Delegation
Many (most?) OO programmers are familiar with class-based inheritance systems.
You create a new instance of
Thing and that
thing instance has all of the abilities defined in its class. This concept is easy to grasp.
Prototype-based inheritance, however, seems much more complex. In order to understand the behavior of one object you also need to understand the behavior provided by its prototype which is just another object. A prototype doesn't necessarily act as an umbrella of classification like classes.
It's harder to think in generalizations outside of a class system. The type of an object is a simple mental model but with prototypes, the possibilities are myriad.
But getting back to the point of this section, class-based inheritance uses delegation to share behavior. A message sent to the instance
thing is delegated to the class
Thing. All of the behaviors are defined in the class, but
self is bound to the object that received the message. The behavior is evaluated in the context of the object. That is:
self refers to the instance, not the class (where the behavior is defined).
class Thing
def hello
thing = Thing.new
thing.hello # <-- delegation to its class which defines the behavior
In a case where two objects exist in a prototype-based system, the same rules apply. The keyword
self is bound to the object that received the message and any delegated behavior is defined in another object.
Ruby delegates through classes and as a result caches its methods based upon the classes of objects. This class-based approach means that adding new behavior to an object leads to the cache being cleared because as an instance of a particular class the object's behavior changes and needs to be reflected in the method lookup (defined by its class). Charlie Somerville has a great rundown of things that clear Ruby's method cache.
Our class-colored lenses skew our understanding of delegation.
Inheritance Does Not Exist
This brings me around to why reading Stein's argument about delegation being inheritance is important. Most (or maybe just many) programmers seem to misunderstand what delegation is.
Stein's paper made the argument that delegation is inheritance. Her paper is based upon the definition of delegation citing Henry Lieberman's 1986 paper.
Lynn Stein was recently very helpful to me and suggested that the original understanding of delegation may have come from "Delegation in Message Passing Proceedings of First International Conference on Distributed Systems Huntsville, AL. October 1979". Alas, I can't find that paper online but it is related to the application of the Actor pattern by Carl Hewitt, Beppe Attardi, and Henry Lieberman.
Stein's work was built against the understanding that delegation has a specific meaning. When methods are delegated, they are bound to the object that received the message. The
self or
this keywords (depending on the language) refer to the original object that received the message.
Many commenters on my delegation article (and on other forums) claimed that the "delegation" term has changed meaning over the years. Lieberman, critics say, may have coined the term but he doesn't own the meaning.
Some have argued that delegation no longer means what Lieberman, Stein, and other OO pioneers meant. If this is true and delegation means 2 objects forwarding messages, and if delegation is inheritance, then effectively every object sending a message is inheritance. Either that or inheritance does not exist.
Why Care?
I've been working around the limitations of implementing DCI in Ruby and the behavior of objects is a central concern.
In DCI our bare data objects gain behavior inside a context relevant to some business goal. Typically this is either explained through the use of
extend to add a module to an object's inheritance lookup:
The problem in Ruby is that the object's inheritance tree remains the same for the life of the object.
# Before
thing.singleton_class.ancestors #=> [Thing, Object, Kernel, BasicObject]
# After
thing.singleton_class.ancestors #=> [SomeModule, Thing, Object, Kernel, BasicObject]
thing object is forever tied to it's new set of ancestors. This may affect your program if you expect your object to lose behavior after executing some procedure inside a DCI context.
There are projects which hack Ruby to add
unextend or other like methods, but they are additions to Ruby typically only in one interpreter (like MRI).
What Can Ruby Do?
A new feature of Ruby 2.0 is exciting in the abilities we'll have to build libraries that aid in delegation.
Methods defined in modules may now be bound to objects regardless of their class ancestry.
That code is a mouthful, but it shows (in Ruby 2.0) that we can add behavior to objects without extending them.
If we want to implement a delegation technique we could hide all this inside a method.
def delegate(method_name, mod)
This is an approach I built into casting, a gem that helps add behavior to objects, preserves the binding of
self inside shared methods and leaves the object in it's original state.
It's easy to use, but it takes a different view of what delegation is compared to how most Ruby developers seem to think. The delegated method here will preserve the
self reference to the
thing object and behavior is added without extending the object.
class Thing
include Casting::Client
thing.delegate('some_method', SomeModule)
It's a work in progress and has given me a great reason to explore what Ruby can and can't do.
The Best of Both Worlds
Stein's paper suggested that a hybrid system of both class-based and prototype-based inheritance would provide both rigidity and flexibility when needed.
As I've worked with my code more and researched more for Clean Ruby I've had the desire for a hybrid system. Stein's words ring true:
In order to take full advantage of the potential of such a system, objects must be treated simply as objects, rather than as classes or instances.
Indeed, DCI requires a system where an object gains and loses behavior based upon the context. The behaviors are localized to the context and a hybrid system like the one Stein described would benefit from the advancement of DCI.
This is a challenge to implement in Ruby but I'll be working more on casting in the future.
For now, it's useful to consider the contextual behavior of our objects and think less about the classes that define them and more about the message passing among them.
Focus on the behavior of your system first, use delegation and worry about classes later.
How abstractions encourage good thinking
by Jim
Many times, as developers, we grow our code in ways we don't intend. We live with quick decisions a little too long and end up with a problem where, well, we don't see the problem. With too much of this, our code becomes our unkempt bedroom or messy desk.
Working against your brain
A few years ago I saw an excellent presentation at Rocky Mountain Ruby by Michael Feathers about a phenomenon he called "code blindness." In that keynote he raised the point that despite the fact developers may know how to, or know why our code should be structured differently, we become used to seeing things the way they are and no longer recognize real or potential problems. We become blind to it.
This type of behavior is a result of how our brains react to visual clutter. As we add more information, more objects, and more variablity to the environment we're creating, our brains will dampen the signals from each part and hide their influences on our attention.
The dampening of each stimulus is a way we cope with too much information. The NIH released a news advisory in 1998 which explained how our brains can counterbalance the dampening effect with focused attention. So what exactly does this mean and how does it apply to programming?
Our programming languages are merely ways of representing concepts. Our brains translate characters to representations of things, to describe iteration, to define decisions and outcomes, and more. The more variation and number of concepts we require our brains to translate, the harder it becomes to maintain focused understanding of any individual concept.
This, of course, leads to the development of ideas such as separation of concerns, the single responsibility principle, and others in which we aim to remove visual clutter form our code and reduce the cognitive load on our brains required to translate stimuli into ideas.
By dampening the effect of stimuli, our brains are able to better focus on the immediate task. The studies at the NIH revealed that by placing effort to focus on a particular aspect of our environments we are able to counteract the dampening feature of our brains. This makes quite a bit of sense: pay attention to something and you're more likely to notice it. But as the NIH points out that while we may only partially cancel-out the effects of nearby stimuli, the amount of the attention required increased in tandem with the amount of visual clutter.
Living with complexity and clutter in our code is often a way we decide to get work done faster now and come up with a better solution later. Unfortunately it is also a decision to create an environment where we'll have to work harder in the future to focus on the right thing.
Working with your brain
The more we have in our environments demanding attention, the more our brains will dampen our attention to them.
Abstractions, such as the presenters we've reviewed in previous articles, are a way we can remove visual clutter and unnecessary stimuli. Separating our programs into layers of responsibility is a way of working with our brains to ensure they'll only need to place just enough effort required to maintain focus and understanding of a particular concept.
The act of building these layers in our programs is how we make decisions to work with our brains' ability to manage focus and prevent the dampening effect from slowing down our work.
This introduces to our program our idea of habitable code. What we consider to be a place where our brains will function well will be expressed in our program code. Often, the place I find the most trouble is with view templates. As a result I work to treat these as much as possible like configuration where logic and number of distinct objects are kept to a minimum.
Transformations of data are often a place where confusing details can cause us to filter out valuable concepts from our minds. View templates which contain multiple objects, transformations of data, control structures such as
if/else/unless blocks or iteration are a source of clutter.
Visual clutter can appear all over or merely in a single line.
link_to timeslot.in_time_zone(@timezone).strftime("%l:%M%p"),
new_profile_appointments_calendar_event_path(@calendar.profile, @calendar,
:event_slot_id => event_id, :timezone_name => @timezone.name),
:class => "open", rel: 'nofollow'
When we write code we create the environment in which our brains must function and react. Often, we end up creating these cognitive barriers in our view templates like this. Fortunately, we're able to simplify them with techniques like pushing complexity into a presenter layer.
If you review the code sample above, you'll need to spend quite a bit of time, far more than you should, just to understand what will be output.
It's important to make decisions to remove the parts unimportant to us. The abstractions which we create can remove as much information as we decide. Leaving parts for our brains to compose can be a feature:
link_to time_display, new_event_path, class: "open", rel: "nofollow"
Or creating a small footprint to handle a concept at a higher level allows us to remove visual clutter and removes the need to compose parts.
presenter.new_event_link(class: "open", rel: "nofollow")
These sample bits of code show no implementation, but the great thing about programming is that we get to choose. The choices we make might work with our brains or might work against them. We can push away noisy details like which timezone to use for formatting and how how to
Our divide and conquer approach with abstraction layers helps us to filter out noise from signal. Of course, with too much abstraction we may become mired in the noise created by divided ideas but we get to decide and experience what fits best.
Work with your brain and consider what ideas belong in which places. Write the code you wish to have.

19 Content Marketing Experts Offer Their Best Advice
Have you ever wondered what the best piece of content marketing advice is? Where do you need to focus your marketing efforts versus what's just nice to have? Now that content marketing is the hot marketing buzzword, what are the critical elements your content needs to rise above the noise to drive measurable business results?
To help you, we surveyed 19 top content marketing experts to get their advice and here's what they say.
- "Stop being amazing, and start being useful." From Youtility cited by Jay Baer of Convince and Convert, author of Youtility and Peg Fitzpatrick one of the ringleaders at 12Most.
- "Content marketing is like producing a movie. It requires a cast of skills to design, execute, distribute and measure a content initiative." I'll be speaking at CMW on how to become a social business. I'll explain how a social business approaches content the same as producing a movie. [Here is] my blog post explains the "producing a movie" analogy. Bernie Borges of Find and Convert and author of Marketing 2.0.
- "My best piece of content marketing advice is to always be helpful and create marketing that helps people." Michael Brenner of SAP and the B2B Insider blog.
- "Don't try to be like everyone else. Every day I see a brand make headlines for a unique approach they took and the next thing you know you see others trying to copy it without ever achieving the original success. Being unique, while being true to your brand and culture is critical so copying someone else is rarely a good idea. Yes, you should always be paying attention to what others are doing and learn and be inspired from them, but mimicking them rarely works." C.C. Chapman author of Amazing Things Will Happen and co-author of Content Rules.
- "The three elements every marketer needs to have their content succeed in reaching and converting their prospects into customers and fans are: 1] Set measurable, attainable content marketing goals aligned with your business objectives. 2] Know your target market including your end user, influencers, buyers, social media colleagues, fans and the public. To this end, create effective marketing personas and social media buyer personas. 3] Select effective measures of your content marketing that track results back to your business goals. Think sales and profitability." Heidi Cohen – Riverside Marketing Strategies
- "Let's study what works and what doesn't: in almost every case I've found of content that just jumps over the fence and provide incredible value – a real investment was made. Spending four hours on a blog post isn't a big investment. 40 hours isn't even a big investment. I'm talking about hundreds of hours. Not that time equates to quality – but the most magic content I've seen was often built on research, and then great presentation. Dove's investment in the study that demonstrated that only 4% of women think of themselves as beautiful became a starting point to countless pieces of content to this day – ultimately reaching tens of millions of consumers. That same research was quoted in mainstream media thousands of times over." Ric Dragon of Dragon Search and author of Social Marketology.
- "Be interesting, valuable, and educational. Too many people write content that is self-serving and uninteresting. People won't read or share that. Tell personal stories, engage people in a way your competitors aren't doing, and give away advice." Gini Dietrich of Arment Dietrich, SpinSucks and co-author of Marketing in the Round.
- "I have to say while everyone seems to be coming aboard, few understand the amazing affect content marketing can have when education, entertainment an"d inspiration collide. In my opinion, the middle one, "entertainment" isn't easily accomplished or taught so my advice is if you want to stand out amongst the noise fest, hire the absolute best writers. I appreciate the content marketers with the deepest knowledge and most researched content, but I remember the ones with the best storytelling skills." Barry Feldman, author of The Plan to Grow Your Business with Effective Online Marketing, a free e-book.
- "Throughout all phases of your content marketing (finding topic ideas, crafting your headline, and creating the content), keep your ideal reader / customer in mind. Put your reader / customer first, and any optimization second, and you'll have a great piece of content every time." Kristi Hines creator of Blog Post Promotion.
- "Don't expect miracles. Your best content will be limited by the reach of your community. Build your community/network in hand with creating your body of content. Think marathons not sprints. Don't begin the journey unless you are ready for a long road ahead. To quoth Seth [Godin], "ideas explode into a vacuum", you need an audience to fill any vacuum you create. Create a fresh perspective to engage people and cultivate curiosity and a need. Be persistently different to build your platform over time. I use a simple formula: Brand Value = Content x Connections x Engagement" Nick Kellet of Listly.
- "Be consistent and useful." Dave Kerpen of Likeable Media and Author of Likeable Business and Likeable Social Media.
- "Get to the point of creating and maintaining a content editorial calendar. We work with a lot of companies on content. Everything from creating blog posts to developing comprehensive strategies, but the ones that are really taking off are the ones so committed that they religiously create, distribute and hold people accountable for their content editorial calendar. Here's our free calendar template." Arnie Kuenn of Vertical Measures and author of Accelerate.
- "If you are going to create content, make sure it is the best piece of content out there. Creating mediocre content is almost worse than creating content at all. It's an all or nothing game as the great content is the one that is shared and linked to. " Neil Patel of Kiss Metrics and Crazy Egg and blogger at QuickSprout.
- "Every brand should create their own content marketing mission statement. So few have one. Here's how to create your mission statement." Joe Pulizzi of Content Marketing Institute and Author of Managing Content Marketing and Get Content Get Customers.
- "I love Rebecca Leib's turkey dinner analogy for content, and I use it quite often here at Marketo. The concept that there can be turkey dinner content (the main event), and then leftover content (slicing and dicing the main event into smaller content pieces), is pretty genius. For us, our Definitive Guides are often the turkey dinner, and we can squeeze out a good 20 or so pieces of content from them." Dayna Rothman of Marketo.
- "On the web, you ARE what you publish." David Meerman Scott author of Real Time Marketing and PR.
- "Content marketing goals and activities should include changing/ adapting the corporate culture and customer service. Everyone in the organization should be part of it, should live it, not just a few. What is the point in having a great, content rich website and/or blog and/or custom magazine and/or profiles on social media if your customer service continues to suck or be ignorant of your content marketing strategy? Here's more information about your content marketing team." Nenad Senic, Disput.si.
- "Know your audience. If you don't know your audience, any other rule here won't apply." Peter Shankman, Shankman/Honig and author of Customer Service: New Rules for a Social Media World and Nice Companies Finish First.
These references are chuck full of useful information for every content marketer. At the core, you must develop goals, know your target market, provide useful information at every step of the process, plan content result in advance, and measure your results.
What other useful content marketing advice would you add to this list and why would you include it?
Happy Marketing,

10 Picture Books for Turkey Time at the Thanksgiving Reading Table
By muddymonkeysmama on November 16, 2012
Featured Member Post
Thanksgiving is coming around the corner! But what can you read to the kids this season? Here is a cornucopia of books that will teach about Thanksgiving, help with literacy, reinforce gratitude and even offer some laughs along the way.
10 Books To Be Thankful For
Children's Picture Books for the Thanksgiving Holiday
Click here for links to the following books.
10 Fat Turkeys By Tony Johnston: This silly rhyming story about ten turkeys teaches children how to count backwards. Girls and boys will gobble up this hilarious story about ten goofy turkeys and their silly antics: swinging from a vine, strutting on a boar, doing a noodle dance, and more. Veteran author Tony Johnston has written a joyful text, which first-time illustrator Richard Deas brings to life as wild and wacky fun!
One Little, Two Little, Three Little Pilgrims By B. G. Hennessy: Ten little Pilgrims and ten little Wampanoag boys and girls are getting ready for the harvest feast. In colonial Plymouth, the young Pilgrims hunt ducks and geese and dig up turnips and carrots. In a nearby village, the Wampanoag children dig for clams, fish for cod, and gather nuts and berries. Finally, it's time for the meal. Turkey, cornbread, cranberry stuffing, pumpkin, and Indian pudding are all on the menu -- yum! First, everyone gives thanks, and then it's time to eat and celebrate. The simple, rhythmic text and autumn-colored illustrations are just right for sharing the history and fun of Thanksgiving with young children.
Squanto's Journey: The Story of the First Thanksgiving By Joseph Bruchac: In 1620 an English ship called the Mayflower landed on the shores inhabited by the Pokanoket, and it was Squanto who welcomed the newcomers and taught them how to survive.

5 Practices to Cool Livestock in August Heat
This summer dealt us cooler weather than is typical, but we all know the sweltering heat that back-to-school and state fair season can bring. Put these five tips into practice to keep your livestock comfortably cool and safe from the effects of heat stress.
1. Shade
"I am always amazed by the number of people who ask, 'Do animals really need shade?'" states Dr. David Fernandez, University of Arkansas (Pine Bluff) cooperative Extension program livestock specialist. Animals get hot outside just as humans do.
You know how dark clothing seems to absorb more of the sun's rays? Same effect goes to animals – darker animals tend to absorb more heat. Keep in mind that some animals with light-color hair hide dark skin underneath, so they can become warmer much faster than you think.
2. Cool water
The key to keeping your animals comfortable could be as simple as where you place your water tank. Build a shade over the tank or place under an already available shade to keep the water as cool as possible.
3. Work animals when temps are lower
Movement and digestion generate heat internally, which can have as significant of an impact on heat stress as external radiation. Therefore, producers should work livestock in cooler parts of the day if at all possible.
4. Airflow
We know that a little bit of air movement on a very hot day can work wonders. Erect fans to make those still, miserable days much more manageable for livestock. Bonus: Add spray misters to the fans or sprinklers.
5. Sprinklers
For livestock that stay outdoors, sprinkler systems are a great, effective option in reducing external heat in pastures or feedlots. Be sure to adjust hoses in a way that animals' legs stay untangled and equipment functioning.
Even when you have many of these strategies in practice, stay on the lookout for signs of heat stress: panting/breathing with an open mouth, excessive sweating in horses or Brahman cattle, trembling, stumbling, or disorientation. However, these tips go a long way to help livestock stay relaxed, cool, and productive during the intense heat of summer.

Lots of talk these days about artificial trees versus real trees. I had both growing up as a child but I have to admit there was always something special about going out to the woods or a Christmas tree farm to search for the perfect tree.
Now, don't get me wrong! I love Christmas songs, but there are some that can be a little annoying if you hear them over and over again.
Tonight is the night! It's the 29 Annual Christmas Parade in Downtown Texarkana.
It's here! It's finally here! The Christmas season is really here! The Christmas decorations are coming out and the Christmas trees are being put up.
We'd like to wish Happy Thanksgiving a happy Thanksgiving.

MENTONE, Texas (AP) - A sheriff says two oil workers are dead and four others are injured following an explosion at West Texas oil field just south of the New Mexico border.
Loving County Sheriff Billy Hopper says authorities received an emergency call before 8:30 a.m. Wednesday about the explosion about 60 miles southeast of Carlsbad.
Hopper says he doesn't know which company operates the oil field. He says the workers were operating an oil rig that separates production fluids, such as oil from water.
He says emergency personnel are at the scene but that receiving updates is difficult because radio communications are erratic and cellphones are inoperable in the rural area.
The extent of the injuries to the four workers was not immediately clear.

J&P Cycles
Ultimate Builder Custom Bike Show was treated to balmy temperatures in the mid-70s.
The Ultimate Builder is known for the diversity of bikes entered in the show and Phoenix, AZ was a treat for enthusiasts. It had a little bit of everything, including an Arlen Ness-inspired '80's era FXR, radical baggers, cool bobbers and choppers.
At each J&P Cycles Ultimate Builder Show over $8000 in cash and prizes is spread out over five classes with a grand total of $100,000-plus awarded in the series. Each show begins on Friday and runs through Sunday.

It turns out that Miss Caren is a racer at heart and drag raced this custom sled for many seasons. The bike features a pumped-up Buell mill in a rigid pro-street chassis from Redneck Engineering.
1. Caren Cooper, Big Sky Motorcycle – Mutant Buell, 1997 Buell

Talking to Tom Garber you get the sense that he spent a considerable amount of time considering the platform for his custom build. His platform of choice? A 1999 Yamaha Road Star, which are plentiful and relatively inexpensive. He transformed the cruiser into a burly bobber. The trick Road Star features a high-flow custom twin intake and pipes, burly fork, and a stripped down rear that helped set it apart from the competition. Perfect!

Float Away With White Cloud Wine!!
Advantages: Tastes amazing, not too expensive and it's alcohol!
Disadvantages: Drinking too much results in silly behaviour and possibly hangover next day!
...With Friday approaching I am looking forward to a glass of white wine. However, it won't be just any old wine?..oh no?.. it has to be a bottle of Nobilo White Cloud for me.
The product

I am just checking to see if your Jacob Kephart might be the son of Charles Kephart and Elizabeth Palmer. Charles was b. abt 1808 in KY and Elizabeth was b. abt 1808 in KY. Charles died in Lewis Co., MO abt 1860 and Elizabeth died after 1870. They had a son Jacob b. abt 1835 in IN. I do not know who he married. Charles Kephart and Elizabeth Palmer Kephart were in Johnson Co., IN on the 1840 census, so I thought maybe he was your Jacob. If so, I would love to fill in this part of my extended family. I descend from Charles and Elizabeth's dau. Phebe.
