Mayoral candidates face hurdle of housing homeless who resist moving inside
Oscar McKinney has seen seven mayors occupy City Hall since he started camping on San Francisco sidewalks more than three decades ago, and he's got an opinion about every one. Those opinions were summed up in a derisive snort the other day as he lounged outside his tent on 13th Street near Van Ness Avenue.
"Not a single one of them ever had a good idea — except for Art Agnos when he started the winter shelters," McKinney snapped. "Everything is too expensive. Nobody really cares about what happens to us out here. That goes for those clowns running for office right now."
McKinney, 52, was swept away from his spot outside the Best Buy store on 13th — more commonly called Division Street — during the Super Bowl in 2016, along with hundreds of others in what had become the biggest homeless camp in the city's history.
Division has stayed mostly clear since then — except for die-hards like McKinney, who has come back to Division like a homing pigeon since 1985, the last time he closed a door he truly called his own.
"Doesn't matter to me what the next guy who gets elected mayor does. I'm an American, and I've got a right to be here," he said. "If I could get a private landlord and rent of, say, $400, I might move inside. But until then? I don't care who's mayor."
And that, in a nutshell, represents the Himalayan challenge facing the four major mayoral candidates on the June ballot as they try to outsell one another with their plans to clear the streets of tents and the penniless people on them.
How do you house people who are staunchly reluctant to move inside?
Unless they can come up with some way to put the more than 2,000 chronically homeless people like McKinney — longtime street people with a range of dysfunctions, from addiction to mental illness — under roofs they actually want over them, San Francisco's crippling street problem will persist. And that doesn't count the other 5,000-plus revolving door of homeless people found on the streets on any given night.
The four main candidates — Supervisors London Breed and Jane Kim, former state Sen. Mark Leno and ex-Supervisor Angela Alioto — all say they have a way to house those people. And quickly.
All of them roll out plans at campaign stops and on their websites, and the ideas boil down to two central, common goals: Clear tents off the streets, and create enough housing and health services to pull inside all of the chronic street dwellers, as well as much of the rest of the homeless population.
That's pretty much what every mayor since Dianne Feinstein in the 1980s has wanted to do. Although several made progress — notably Gavin Newsom, with his Care Not Cash and Homeward Bound programs, and Ed Lee, who created the city's first unified homelessness department — nothing has worked. The problem, much to the public's dismay, appears to be worse than ever.
All the candidates say they wouldn't exactly duplicate Mayor Mark Farrell's late April order to clear the Mission District of tent camps in what amounted to a big, one-day push. They say some rules have to be in place, such as making sure sidewalks are passable and that people not be allowed to sprawl anywhere they want. But they prefer the practice of methodically clearing individual camps by getting their residents housing or services.
All but one of the candidates want to open more shelters. And they all have plans to quickly create more housing, both of the "affordable" variety — for low-income people struggling to stay inside or for homeless people who simply can't afford typical rent — and of the "supportive" variety — for people who need social services as well.
Supportive housing is much more expensive — about $20,000 a year per resident in government-funded counseling and housing, versus up to $10,000 a year in mostly federal funding to merely help people with rent.
The political noise starts with the details.
London Breed comes right out and says she would clear the streets of tent camps in one year. She pledged to do this by attacking the problem from all angles — beefing up counseling outreach, building 5,000 new supportive, affordable and market-rate housing units a year, and opening more Navigation Centers, the specialized one-stop shelters that let people stay 24/7 and bring in pets, partners and belongings. She would also convert all of the city's other shelters to round-the-clock operation so people don't have to leave during the day.
She points to her success in 2014 in securing $2 million to rehabilitate vacant public housing units to house 179 homeless families as at least partial proof of her ability to succeed.
"I'm not messing around," Breed said. "When I was acting mayor (between Mayor Ed Lee's death in December and Farrell's appointment by the Board of Supervisors in late January), I visited tent sites just about every day. I'm not trying to tear people apart in the camps, I'm trying to get them help for their needs and not leave them outside to die."
Two of her main thrusts are advocating for state conservatorship legislation that would more easily allow courts to appoint guardians for chronically homeless people and opening safe injection centers where addicts can shoot up legally. These actions alone, she said, would reduce the spectacles of the mentally ill acting out in public and junkies fixing in the open.
"So much of homelessness is a public health issue in addition to being a public safety issue," Breed said.
Breed also wants to push for the creation of modular housing, prefabricated units that can be stacked and built at nearly half the cost of conventional housing.
Mark Leno has the boldest claim of all. He says he can end street homelessness in the city by 2020.
Finding the money to do that, however, is complicated. He proposes crafting a regional homelessness and housing bond measure along the lines of the $1.6 billion bond passed in Los Angeles in 2016. He is also counting on $100 million authorized for the city under a 2004 voter-approved state tax measure for mental health initiatives, including housing that is currently tangled in a court fight.
Leno also promises to go through the city budget with a fine-tooth comb, starting out from scratch every year, evaluating every program for its worth — with one aim being to glean more cash for homeless aid.
"If we could squeeze just 3 percent greater efficiency out of our $5 billion general fund budget, that would get us $150 million more for homeless programs," Leno said. "Everything is on the table."
With the results of that and other funding, he said, he would quickly convert 1,500 vacant residential hotel units — some city officials estimate the number is actually closer to 800 — into supportive housing and expand the number of Navigation Centers. He'd also like to create 15,000 units of affordable, workforce and supportive housing units within three years.
"Right now we are just spinning our wheels and wasting a lot of limited public resources by not dealing with the problem, rather than the symptom," Leno said. "How it is we haven't expanded our shelter bed capacity? The immediate concern is to get people off the street."
Jane Kim's supervisorial District Six, which includes the Tenderloin and SoMa, contains fully 51 percent of the city's homeless population. It has more open-air drug dealing and acting-out mental behavior than anywhere else. And Kim lives in the midst of it all — so she has an unusually intimate familiarity with the problem day by day.
Kim also spent a night at the second-biggest homeless shelter in 2012 and says she came away more determined than ever to tackle the needs of the street.
"Honestly, I didn't know truly how badly off people were until I stayed in the shelter," Kim said. "People are older and sicker than we realize, and shelters were built for people who are able-bodied, like me."
"I've never met a homeless person who didn't really want services or housing," Kim said. "We can do better."
She pointed out that about half of the city's $300 million or so annual spending on homelessness actually goes toward housing people. The rest is spent on outreach counseling, food programs, shelters and other services meant to move people inside or to make their lives more livable on the pavement.
"So we're not spending nearly as much as people think we are," she said. "We can do better, but we're going to have to make a significant investment if we really want to make a difference."
Of the four, Angela Alioto has the most experience grappling with homelessness. In 2004 she created, at Newsom's behest, San Francisco's 10-year plan to end chronic homelessness, which was then required of all communities to get maximum federal funding. And though its aim of housing every long-timer on the street by 2014 failed, that effort did pull 19,500 homeless people off the city's streets — roughly equivalent to emptying the Noe Valley neighborhood of its residents.
Those chronically homeless people were shepherded inside by creating thousands of units of supportive housing, along with intensive street counseling to steer people toward services or bus tickets home to family and friends. Alioto wants to ramp up those same techniques. Her main disagreement with the other candidates is about shelters.
"I hate shelters. I would get rid of them," she said. "We need to spend that money on housing, housing, housing — first. Period."
The other candidates view the city's 2,500 adult, youth and family shelter beds as necessary stepping-stones to housing. And though many homeless people don't like the rules or sketchy people at a typical shelter, most will admit it's safer than sleeping outside in the cold. They especially like Navigation Centers.
Alioto said that upward of 40 percent of the city's approximately 2,000 to 3,000 chronically homeless people are so mentally ill or drug addicted that they should be put into psychiatric or rehabilitation facilities. The rest, she said, could be housed by quickly converting about eight empty buildings in the city into supportive housing, at about $3 million per building — translating to about $24 million to rehabilitate all the buildings, but then millions more annually to maintain them after that.
Where did he go? A few blocks away.
"They move me around, and I can understand that," McKinney said. He winked. "But I always come back. And I don't really care who's mayor."

The Occasion: Saturday Night out / Date night
The Plan: Kaspar's at Savoy | Play "The End Of Longing" | Opium | ECC
In Short: Lovely dinner, theater & great cocktails for a perfect night out.
Budget: ~200 pounds/person
When you live in London, it is so easy to get into the never-ending routine of rushing to work and back home and having all the chores to take care of, responsibilities, evening tv and weekly crazy Friday/Saturday club outings you don't have much recollection of, thank god for Instagram, right?
But once in a while, you have to remind yourself – you live in one of the capitals of the world, full of history, culture and so much more! I wasn't planning to write this post but recently I had one of the best Saturdays in a long time and maybe it will inspire you to plan a similar evening, or check one of the places out.
We were planning a girls night out for a while now but we didn't want just a regular get drunk kind of night so we've spent a couple of hours planning and researching, and it was sooo worth it!
We decided we really want to see The End Of Longing play, so once we've got the tickets, the plan was built around it. We started the evening at the Savoy, drinks at their award-winning bar and pre-theater dinner at Kaspar's restaurant. It's such a beautiful place! Drinks, food, service and the whole experience was perfect and we couldn't expect a better start to our night.
After a quick stroll by the river, we reached the Playhouse theater, grabbed drinks (like true ladies we've got ourselves a pint of Prosecco each) and got to our seats ready to be amused. And it was a great show, the first part so witty, so fun and the second part – deeper and quite sad, but with a happy ending so we left satisfied! The show is running until 14 May 2016 so make sure to go see it before then!
After the show, the night was still young and we decided it was time to check out Opium, a cocktail bar in china town. It was nominated to be one of the best bars in the world so we just had to try it out. I would recommend getting a reservation to make sure you'll get in!
Once you are ready, and it took us a good 4 cocktails each, move on to ECC (Experimental Cocktail Club) which is just a couple of doors down the street. It's titled and renowned almost as much as the Opium and serves truly great cocktails. I recommend checking it out because it would be a shame not to and because it has such a great atmosphere! We chose it as the last stop because it has more of a clubby lounge setting, great DJ playing and is a perfect place for the last stop of the night!
And if you feel like eating a proper meal in the middle of the night (let's face it, maybe you'll need it ;D) visit The Balance restaurant just around the corner. Don't deny yourself a good meal when you have an opportunity!
To sum up, I would rate this Saturday night out plan a 10/10. It is based on my personal experience and not sponsored! Please let me know if you decide to visit one or all of the places or you've been and if your experience was just as fun!

If you are approaching your 10-year wedding anniversary--or you know a friend who will be celebrating this milestone anniversary soon--then you may want to give a friend, spouse or partner an anniversary gift that reflects the tradition of the occasion and the person's personality. Anniversaries traditionally have gifts that are assigned to most years.
Tin Gifts
The traditional gift for a 10-year anniversary is a gift made of tin. This metal makes for a bit of a challenging gift, but there are ways to interpret the gift traditionally. For example, you can buy a set of tin cuff links for a man and a decorative tin mirror for a woman. Also, check at your local artisan and handicraft stores for decorative artisan tins.
Pewter Gifts
If you cannot find a gift of tin that you like, then consider selecting an anniversary gift made of pewter. Pewter is an alloy and is about 85 percent or more tin, according to Happy Anniversary, so the gift still is in the "tin family."
Spin on Tin Gifts
Not all 10-year anniversary gifts have to be interpreted traditionally. For example, write a love poem or select a favorite photo of you and your partner. Then slip the poem or photograph into a tin frame, suggests Happy Anniversary's gift-giving online guide.
Modern Alternatives
Veer from the traditional by selecting a gift that still is in the metal family but is a little flashier. Buy a set of stainless steel pots, an aluminum flower vase filled with a partner's favorite flowers or a romantic aluminum statue.
Creative Gifts
Think a little outside of the box. Purchase a cookie tin or other decorative tin, and fill it with with customized puzzle pieces. You can have a photo of you and your partner printed on a puzzle in honor of your 10-year anniversary. This is an ideal gift for a partner who likes games and puzzles.

Cyrus Holder leads hustling Friends Academy to LI Class C title
Cyrus Holder and Friends Academy wanted a second chance at Stony Brook.
One year after falling to the Bears in the Long Island Class C final, the Quakers got their opportunity and didn't let it slip away. Friends Academy (15-2) used a bevy of second-chance points and took control of the game with a dominant second quarter to win the L.I. Class C title, 55-48, Tuesday and advance to the regional final against Haldane on Friday at Beacon High School in Dutchess County.
Stony Brook (18-3) nearly flipped the script in the fourth quarter, outscoring Friends 21-12. The Bears closed to within 51-48 when Andrew Daniel, who had 19 points, hit a jump hook in the lane with 1:15 left.
"I think we just kind of got at each other for a second in the fourth," Holder said. "But we realized that if we played together and played hard we weren't going to lose."
He made sure of it, scoring eight of his game-high 24 points in the final period, including going 4-for-4 from the free-throw line.
Tyrone Perkins had last year's loss on his mind as Stony Brook began to rally.
"Last year was a tough loss and it hurt a lot," Perkins, who scored 12 points, said. "This year we knew we were going to come in hard and strong and do what we needed to do. We showed that in the first half but came out a little flat in the third and really flat in the fourth and just had to stick it out."
After Daniel cut the Stony Brook deficit to three, Perkins broke the Bears' press and got down the court but was unable to convert a layup. Friends, however, made another hustle play, forcing a jump ball to retain possession.
"Coach always tells us that the hustle plays are what win games," Perkins said.
"I tried to get on the boards and Cyrus is always on the boards and those small things are what win games."Jack Forlines, who scored all five of his points in the third quarter, missed a tear drop in the lane with 30 seconds remaining but made a game-saving play, corralling the offensive rebound and getting it to Holder, who was fouled and made both free throws. "Those hustle plays at the end were what won us the game," Forlines said. "We're a high-scoring team and we usually put up a lot of numbers but the shots aren't always falling and hustle plays are what does it."
The hustle didn't stop until the final buzzer as Perkins had a steal in the final seconds and sprinted uncontested for a layup, which he missed. Of course, a teammate was following up the play and got the putback for the final margin.
"Last year was definitely a crushing defeat," Forlines said. "All season we knew we were going to see them in this game and we came out and had more energy."

Latest Photo From Saturn Shows View You'll Never See From Earth
Seeing incredible images of Saturn is almost becoming too commonplace with the truckload of gorgeous photos NASA's Cassini Orbiter is sending back to Earth during its mission to the ringed planet.
The below photo was just recently shared by NASA, offering an incredible view "over Saturn's shoulder." The view is a rarity because the Cassini spacecraft is offering a glimpse from the dark side of the planet. As NASA points out, it's a view that could never be seen from Earth no matter what device you use. We're only able to see Saturn's "daylit side, from within about 25 degrees of Saturn's equatorial plane."
In the new image, the rings and the hexagonal storm at the planet's pole are visible just over the massive shadow covering the planet's back side. That storm was highlighted in earlier photos that focused on the pole. This image was taken on October 28 of last year but was only shared recently. At the time of this photo, the spacecraft was about 810,000 miles away from the planet.
Among the brilliant pictures Cassini has returned to Earth are striking portraits of Saturn's "Death Star moon" and the icy moon Tethys, as well as eerie images of the moon Daphnis creating waves in the planet's rings.
Like Gollum at Mount Doom, Cassini will take a death dive into the planet later this year, completing the mission it has been on since 1997.

ArcInTexETN is in the final year of the project. Seven of the doctoral student will defend their theses this year, the others will carry on for a bit longer. We asked three of the doctoral students about their projects and how far they have come.
Svenja Keune, carrying out her research project at the textile company Ludvig Svensson AB in Sweden, is about to publish her licentiate thesis with the title "On textile Farming – Seeds as a material for textile design". The seminar will take place on 26 April 2018.
The aim of her project is to question and redefine the aesthetics of interior landscaping with plants by using textiles, and to develop an understanding of dynamic and active expressions using seeds as a "smart" material in the textile design processes.
"Nowadays, new concepts of living, attempt to break the separation of human and nature through urban development, proposing new models of hybrid housing and urban gardening. These new spaces open up alternative ways of living, growing, organizing, and designing with plants. Therefore new solutions are needed to shape these new environments in order to express the hybrid nature they are part of."
The objective is to create visions for Ludvig Svensson AB for a future that may lead to textile innovations through speculative design research in an industrial context, with the potential to change the lifecycle of interior textiles and how we organize, live and interact with plants. It is done by providing methods of how to design hybrid textiles with seeds, and by providing new perspectives to indoor gardening as well as urban and vertical gardening.
How has your project developed?
"I have developed the research programme "On Textile Farming" to unite interior textiles and growing crops, and use interior textiles to connect inside and outside spaces. This programme unites the interior textiles department and the climate screens department at Ludvig Svensson AB. Not only does it propose joint forces, new materials and new developments, but it also challenges the production and the life-cycle of these hybrid textiles. These textiles make use of the transformative capacities of seeds. Seeds are introduced as a potential "smart" material in textile design, which in a way connects to my work with electronics. What interests me most in working with textiles is how we can interact or communicate with them, and to understand textiles as a medium that is not only able to connect various non-textile materials but also different fields.
She has used several textile techniques such as weaving, felting, crocheting, knitting etc. in her research. They are methods to explore seeds in a textile context. She aims to develop her own methods of how to design textiles using seeds. Her research project unites academia and industry.
Multiple uses for auxetic design
The two latest doctoral students to join ArcInTexETN are Ana Ines Rodrigues and Maike Schultz, they are both from Heriot-Watt University in Scotland.
Ana's project is on auxetic structures, structures that can expand. If you stretch them in one direction the structure will also expand in the other direction.
"Currently I am testing variations of my own auxetic designs. I am testing scale and lengths to come up with rules for designing auxetic patterns. "
There are several examples of how auxetic structures can be used. They can have medical purposes, such as casts and medical bandage, they can be used in architecture for aesthetic as well as functional structures for shaping or to offer shadow, ballistics or filters, and in fashion design for protections pads, helmet bases or high-performance support on bras for women.
The effect of colours
Maike Schultz carries out a project about the relation between colour and shape.
"I want to find new ways to apply colour in textiles and treat it not only as an embellishment. I would like to handle it more like a tool that can, for example, interact with the technique of weaving when creating a surface. It can also contribute to the shape, it is more important than just being a "nice" colour."
"I hope to contribute to a more deliberate use of colour in fashion and textile design, and interiors. We are surrounded by colour and it affects our emotion and wellbeing. I hope to find a new way of looking at colour, a new perspective and understanding", she says.
Ana and Maike are doing their projects at Heriot-Watt University in Scotland.

Santa Fiora
Sheltered on a cliff of volcanic rock, which dominates the spring of the Fiora river, the village of Santa Fiora has a different history unlike the other centres of the Amiata region. Indeed, the village was not subject to the rule of the Abbey of Santissimo Salvatore, but soon became the most important Amiata property of the Aldobrandeschi family, enduring numerous occupation attempts by the Sienese. In 1439, its ownership passed on to the Sforza family, before being taken over by Florentine rule in 1633.
Once arrived at Santa Fiora, the traveller's attention is instantly drawn to the imposing Palazzo del Conte, formerly the Sforza Cesarini residence, and now the offices of the town hall. The palazzo houses the intriguing Monte Amiata Mercury Mining Museum, dedicated to the history and techniques of mercury extraction, which strongly marked the area between the nineteenth and twentieth century. Once bypassing the palazzo (from the left side) or by crossing through it (via the arches), you find yourself in the square that is the real hub of the village. From here the discovery of Santa Fiora continues down Via Carolina, leading to the church Chiesa del Suffragio (1716), before descending to Pieve delle Sante Flora e Lucilla, the most important monument in the village. The parish, erected before the first millennium, was rebuilt in the thirteenth century and expanded in 1792 with the addition of the side naves. The interior hosts a collection of lovely terracottas credited to Andrea della Robbia. At this stage a descent to the actual borgo is in order, namely the enclosed part of Santa Fiora surrounded by ancient walls and overlooked by the dark trachyte mountain side. Here we find the Church of Sant'Agostino, founded in 1309 and adjoined to a convent, of which only an arched doorway from 1473 remains.
In the borgo you can still admire the Capuchin Convent, established in 1601 and closed in 1991, associated with the cult of the Miraculous Crucifix and the Procession of the Logs. Passing through the Porta del Borgo, you enter the terziere of Montecatino, and then Peschiera, an evocative little lake that collects the waters of the Fiora. The traveller will also be left amazed by the nearby small Church of the Madonna della Neve (also known as "of the Pescina"), of humble appearance but ornate in delicately conserved frescos attributed to Francesco Nasini. The main peculiarity of this chapel is its unique floor, covered in glass panels through which you can wonder at the source of the Fiora, as it gushes just under the surface level.
In the vicinity of the hamlet of Selva, surrounded by a wonderful forest, the Convent of the Holy Trinity warrants a visit. Inside, the convent treasures a Della Robbia crucifix and a series of exquisite paintings, while the eighteenth-century cloister retains a dragon's head, left by an early traveller.

More single and double perspective! :))
Hello again Here's my 1 room single perspective assignment. :)) It's kind of sloppy especially with the colouring but yeah. Hope you still like it
Some more single and double perspective.
Here's some more of my Perspective assignment using actual photos. Kind of had a hard time working on the 2 point perspective. hehe
Here's my another take on single point perspective room. :))
Here's my take on 3 point perspective. ^_^ I tried solely focusing/using basic shapes and pretty much play around with the perspective of it.
I really just wanted to post this one here! hehe. One of my oc. :))
Another 3 point perspective drawing. Still working on progress but yeah. ^^
Finally decided to finish this one right here. Please feel free to give some tips/advice for future reference. ^^
Here's my 1st attempt at doing 4 point perspective. I kind of struggled with the figure looking a little bit fat/wide. :3
Hi! Those 3 point perspective drawings look awesome! I like how dynamic the camera angle of the last one looks. Just one thing there seems to be a little distortion on the left side of the drawing. Maybe by placing the vertical vanishing point a little further up would reduce the distortion. Keep up the good work!
Hello and thank your for taking your time to comment! ^^ I see. I actually had a lot of fun working on this one and will keep your advice for my future work! Thanks :))
The day I fell in love with ctrl + Z button.
Some more studies? or mess. >.>
Hello again! ^^ I tried drawing a face with all the stuff that was taught in the class regarding anatomy for the first time. I know there's something off with it but could not really put my fingers on it. I feel like the face is way too wide for some reason. Hope someone can help point it out to me. Thanks
Another study portrait. :))
Another study. ^^

Let me preface this message by saying, I am a Constitutionalist / Social Conservative. I'm neither a Democrat or Republican, even though I usually vote for Republican candidates, as there are no other choices on our ballots in Alabama.
I could never vote for the Democrat Party again because of some of the kooky, extreme leftist ideas they now enspouse. What was once a political party of the average working man is now a vehicle of the socialist & every freeloader in America.
However, this is not an endorsement of the Republican Party either. It only needs to look in a mirror to see the cause of the loss of the last two presidential elections. I'm not suggesting they become the party of Democrat Lite either. We don't need two Democrat parties. We need real choices other than these two political parties which, are bought and paid for by special interests.
During the economic good times of the 1980's, does anyone remember much of the wealth being shared among the working Americans who built the products that amassed the fortunes for companies and their C.E.O.'s? Even today under such difficult times for American's working middle-class, some C.E.O's are still being paid upwards of $450 million per year. When was the last time you received a raise?
Every time you see Obama on TV, remember to thank a Fiscal Republican whose only motivation is greed and whose only loyalty is to money, for Obama being elected and then re-elected as president. Republicans are as guilty of greed and class warfare as the Democrats are. Corporate welfare is no better than those who receive welfare because they won't work. Both are stealing from the average working class American from the top and bottom.
So, the Republicans are as guilty of our very poor political prospects today as anyone. If it were not for their greed, we would not have the class envy of those in the Democrat Party. Given these two choices, is it any wonder so many Americans are choosing to get back a little of their money as opposed to losing it all to the companies and C.E.O's bank accounts instead of their own?
As I've said, Republican greed made the political climate what it is today, more socialist. Republicans can either reverse this trend with better pay and benefits to their American employees or eventually lose it all to socialism, its theirs to lose.

Zee TV Kundali Bhagya written update 14th November 2017, Kundali Bhagya Written Episode
Today's (14.11.2017) Kundali Bhagya episode starts with Sherlin comes to Kareena and takes a drink. Kareena was curt and says she feels jealous of that girl. There is no comparison of Kritika and Preeta; Preeta got someone like Prithvi who is well settled and good looking. Sherlin says its because of her. Then explains Rishab would have married Preeta if not her. Kareena clarifies it didn't happen because of her, Preeta is marrying someone who loves her dearly and even Sherlin is marrying someone who loves Preeta. Sherlin thinks Kareena didn't know they are celebrating Preeta's destruction today.
Sarla comes to Rishab to introduce Prithvi with him. They shake hands. Sarla asks if he has met him? Rishab says he was trying to recall if he met him? Prithvi says people often get misunderstandings, as he has a really common face. Rishab insists he genuinely feel he met her. Sarla takes Prithvi to meet a neighbor. Prithvi was nervous of Rishab's stare. He turns to go to the other side and thinks he must fix Karan and Rishab before they ruin his plan.
Rishab comes from behind tries to recognize Prithvi and asks where did they met earlier. Prithvi denies meeting him ever. Sherlin watches Rishab and takes him away as everyone is waiting for them. Rishab thinks this man is suspicious. Prithvi was relieved as he could have recalled everything soon if stayed.
Shrishti comes to the hall with her fingers crossed. Sameer waves at her but she shuts her eyes tightly. Sameer calls her crazy and leaves. Shrishti opens her eyes and thinks she must be day dreaming about Sameer. She turns to go home. Janki asks Shrishti what happened to her. Shrishti says she can only see darkness in her future.
Preeta comes downstairs looking for Sarla. Prithvi stops her. Karan watch them talk to each other. Prithvi asks to straighten her matha tikka. Sherlin notices Karan staring at them, and feels dislikes Prithvi's intimacy with Preeta. She takes Prithvi. Karan asks to speak to Preeta but she wasn't in a mood to argue, she goes to speak to a friend. Karan holds her hand, the friend calls her fiancé handsome. Preeta takes him aside. Karan insists he needs to speak to her and takes her upstairs.
Sherlin brings Rishab to a corridor and complains for being too close to Preeta. Prithvi convinces he has to act of falling in love with Preeta.
Shrishti comes to her and room and convinces herself to print a false picture of Sameer. She sits in front of mirror and says Sameer is a very nice and caring man. He must never have to knead flour at his own house, but he did it for today. She turns around and hears Sameer calling him. She tries to jerk the feeling, Sameer had come into the room and smiles towards her. She says she won't believe this time, as he would soon vanish. Sameer laughs and asks is she is drunk? She asks what he feels for her. They share an eye lock.
Karan locks the door behind Preeta. She insists on him to let it open. Karan asks what's her problem. Preeta calls him a flirt, and she isn't his Juliet. She taunts at him for flirting with the guest girls. Karan insists they were his fans. Preeta forbids him hold her hand at all, she doesn't like it. Karan says he isn't as cheap as to flirt her here. Preeta was apologetic. Karan says he wants her to stay happy and safe, he never left his practice ever for anyone else. Preeta asks him to hurry up now, what he wants to say. Else there is a lot to do, he can go downstairs to flirt a lot of girls there. With a minor argument Preeta turns to leave. Karan gets serious and asks her not to do the roka.
PRECAP: Karan tells Prithvi he knows well Prithvi isn't what he reveals to the world. Prithvi says it doesn't matter what Karan thinks about him, he is going to marry Preeta anyway.

Ingleton and Skipton 2017
First off, I'm really sorry that I've been so terrible at posts lately! I've had a lot on with university and I've been trying out a few new things in the mean time also which I'll update you on shortly. But the 3rd July was our first anniversary so we took an overnight trip to Ingleton and Skipton for the Sunday-Monday. Now we didn't quite manage to properly get round Ingleton owing to the fact that we went looking for a puppy… but that was worth missing out on Ingleton for, we get our little Ragnar in just over two weeks time, so there's gonna be lots more doggy posts and photos after that!
When we eventually got to the hotel, we only had a couple of hours before our reservation for a meal that night. So we headed off to the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail as quickly as we could do but only risked walking about half an hour into it. We planned to go the day after instead but rain coupled with feeling ill meant we looked for a nearby attraction instead (hence Skipton below!). The part of the trail we managed to see though was Swilla Glenn, a pretty area which contained a money tree. I've loved getting photos of coins like this since Snowdonia so apologies as there are a fair few of it!
As mentioned, we didn't plan in advance to visit Skipton. But I'm definitely glad that we did! It's a cute little town that has a castle (and I'm way too much of a history geek not to love a castle) so we had a tour of the castle and then went for a little walk around the town.
So that pretty much sums up the last trip of our first year together. Seven trips together in one year, crazy to think I didn't used to travel half as much! I've tried to keep this post as non-sentimental as possible but I feel very lucky to have found someone who wants to see as much of the world as I do. But I'll hold my hands up, we're hooked on the idea of our next trip being to Florida. Less of seeing the world, more of going crazy fan girl in Universal Studios…

Fourth Grade Glogster!
What is a Glog? A Glog is an interactive multimedia image. It looks similar to a poster, but with one big difference - readers can interact with the content! The fourth graders took to Glogster with the help of Mrs. McLean to demonstrate their knowledge of Rocks, Minerals, and Soil. Working in science class as well as technology integration class, they were able to make some incredible Glogs! Watch the videos, slide the bars to read more information and enjoy their work!

The Matchup: Justin Kerber (Cornell) vs. #3 Jon Reader (ISU)
Synopsis: If there was an award for best teammate, the recipient would surely be senior Justin Kerber. Throughout his collegiate career, the Cornell wrestler has willingly accepted the role that the coaches have asked him to play. In 2009, with Steve Anceravage at 174, that meant competing at 184. And now, with nationally ranked wrestlers at 174 and 184 (Lewnes and Bosak respectively), this means cutting down to 165. If this does not make him the consummate team player, than I don't know what will…Just missing 30 win seasons the past two years, Kerber is a 2x national qualifier who has spent considerable time in the national rankings this season. Despite falling out of the recent ranking, Kerber is not someone an opponent should ever sleep on. Against 97 percent of wrestlers in the country, he is capable on any given day of walking onto the mat, putting in a full seven minutes, and then exiting the same a winner….Unfortunately for the host school, it is possible that Jon Reader is part of that ever minute three percent of guys who might be a step above Kerber…An All-American in both of his years on the college scene, Reader is considered by all to be one of the favorites to win the National title this March. Like so many of the wrestlers in this dual, he is fundamentally sound in all three positions. While I am not one who likes to call for bonus points, I will say that if Reader is at the top of his game this weekend, he could very well tack on a few "insurance points" for the Cyclones…Against top-10 ranked wrestlers this season, Kerber has failed to avoid surrendering bonus points. I am optimistic that the opportunity to compete in front of the home crowd might just provide him with the extra bit of intensity needed to keep this to a decision for Reader.
Prediction: Reader wins by decision
Projected Team Score: 9-9
The Matchup: #1 Mack Lewnes (Cornell) vs. Duke Burk (ISU)
Synopsis: With the purpose of being short and sweet, if you liked my take on 165-pound match, re-read it and just flip the singlet the winner is wearing. In much the same way that Reader is a dominant force for Iowa State, Lewnes is the ultimate hammer for the Big Red…After a very poor showing at the National tournament last March (going 0-2; reportedly the result of illness and injury), the former Maryland prepster has wrestled all of 2009/2010 like a man with something to prove. He enters Sunday's dual with an unblemished record. Having earned some form of bonus points in 14 of his 26 wins this season, the Big Red junior has positioned himself in the same company as guys like Metcalf and Varner. Taking nothing away from Duke Burk, but I do not see 174 as a question of who will win as much as I perceive it as a question of how badly Lewnes will win…My gut feel tells me that Burk will keep it close, losing an 7-3, 8-4 type of decision….Having lost six straight dual matches, Burk might be in the midst of the roughest patch of his collegiate career. In reviewing his overall record, it might be easy to dismiss him. However, his is a case where stats are misleading. He is a national caliber wrestler who has already punched his own ticket to the NCAA tournament on multiple occasions. While I do not think he will win this weekend, I do believe that he will make a good showing of himself and hopefully regain the form that made him a round of 12 guy while at Northern Illinois….UPDATE: As of 1:53 am on the morning of the match, it is now being reported that the Cyclones will elect to go with redshirt freshman, Chris Spangler at this weight class. While I have not had the opportunity to see much of the former Illinois high school standout, I do recall his impressive senior year where he moved up several weight classes, finishing third at the state tournament. In fact so impressive was Spangler, that he was chosen to be a member of Team USA at the annual Dapper Dan Classic…Based on the last time he spelled Burk in the varsity line-up, a one point loss to #14 ranked Jordan Blanton from Illinois, Spangler has more than demonstrated that he is no pushover…While I still stick with my pick of Lewnes, I remain confident that regardless of opponent, bonus points will not come into play.
Prediction: Lewnes wins by decision
Projected Team Score: 12-9 Cornell
The Matchup: #17 Steve Bosak (Cornell) vs. #11 Jerome Ward (ISU)
Synopsis: A test of what the future might hold for these two schools, 184 will be a match-up of a pair of youngsters who are each putting together impressive sophomore campaigns…Each a top-20 ranked wrestler, it would be fair to classify this bout as the "match of the afternoon."…In fact, so pivotal is this match that the winner might very well determine who wins the dual. With Iowa State favorite at both 197 and 285, for Cornell to keep their upset intentions alive it will be required of Bosak to step up and pull the slight upset over the higher ranked ward….Having watched both of them compete a few times this season, my impression is that the victor will be the one who is able to dictate where the match takes place. For Bosak, the objective should be to try to ride hard and shorten the match, as well as secure the riding time point. In other words, the key to victory is to turn the match into a low scoring affair. If his match against Boise State's Kirk Smith at National Duals is any indication, Bosak more than possesses the ability to apply a tight ride and successfully execute this strategy…For Ward, the stronger and quicker of the two combatants, the goal might be to try to seize control of the bout by staying on the attack and translating his superior athleticism into a collection of takedowns…Of all of the wrestlers that I have seen in 2010, Ward has been the one who I feel has made the highest degree of progress from one year to the next. After a freshman season in 2009 where he sometimes struggled to work his offense effectively, Ward seems to be more polished and more aggressive through the first 2/3 of his sophomore season. If he continues to make the same level of progress year-after-year, by the time he is a senior, he will be a serious title contender…As much as I'd like to give the nod to the home wrestler, the truth is that Ward has the bigger wins this season. Therefore, to not pick him would be unjust.
Prediction: Ward wins by decision
Projected Team Score: 12-12
The Matchup: #5 Cam Simaz (Cornell) vs. #1 Jake Varner (ISU)
Synopsis: In the majority of duals this season, when Cam Simaz looks across the mat, he sees an opponent that he is likely favored against. On Sunday, it will be the exception to the rule as the returning All-American for the Big Red will be pitted against defending National Champion/3x NCAA finalist/2009 U.S. World Team member, Jake Varner…Often criticized for a less than exciting style, the truth of the matter is that Varner does not attempt to score much because he does not need to score much. The ISU senior is so good defensively and in the top position that if he had to, he could make a career out of winning 2-0 matches. In fact, one interesting note is that Varner has the rare distinction of having won a National title despite having not scored a TD in the championship bout…Much like his former coach, Cael Sanderson, Varner has showcased a very nice ankle pick. In addition, just based on his Herculean body type, he is hardly the guy you want to go upper-body against. To borrow from a cheesy Chuck Norris joke, Jake Varner sleeps with a nightlight on because the dark is afraid of him…Perfect on the season, the Hodge Trophy candidate already owns wins over several of the top contenders at 197-pounds. In his last match, Varner not only defeated top-10 Alan Gelogaev, he pinned him….Simaz, who really turned it on at the end of last season, was a surprise All-American as a freshman in 2009. He has fed off of that momentum this season, leading the team in wins this season with 3o+. Like Varner, the Cornell sophomore has successfully gotten the better of a number of ranked opponents in 2010. If Simaz was facing anyone but Varner, I would say that a "w" was within range….Regretfully, even with the match of his life, I think Simaz would come up short against the stronger and more experienced Cyclone…A pin for Varner is not out of the question. However, if I was to guess, I'd say this match has the makings of a 5-1, 6-1 feel to it…Expect a lot of riding time for the Superman with the "I" on his chest.
Prediction: Varner wins by decision
Projected Team Score: 15-12 Iowa State
The Matchup: Josh Arnone (Cornell) vs. #4 David Zabriskie (ISU)
Synopsis: Despite one guy being a top-5 ranked wrestler and the other unranked, this bout might be one of the most interesting of the afternoon. When 100 percent healthy, Josh Arnone had the makings of a multiple time All-American, an honor that he did earn in 2007 at 184-pounds…However, in reality, a history of injuries leaves the wrestling community wondering just how special this guy could have been if not for the repeated bite of the injury bug. Back for one final season on the mat for the Big Red, Arnone is up a full two weight classes from his All-American performance. Early on, the extra weight seemed to bother him as he fell victim to some conditioning problems to start the season…However, of late, the Cornell big man is really starting to elevate his performance. Even in defeat, Arnone has showed that he is capable of giving the best in the country a run for their money, as evident by his 3-1 loss to Lehigh's Zack Rey last week…Arnone will not get a break this weekend as he will be matched up against Zabriskie who has been among (and at times the top) the best in the country for the last few years…A runner-up at the Midlands in December, what Zabriskie lacks in pure size, he makes up for with overall athleticism and agility. Regardless of score, the ISU senior is never out of a match until the final buzzer sounds. This was a fact that he proved repeatedly last season, rallying on several occasions to pull out the victory. If Arnone has upset aspirations, he is going to have to take it away from Zabriskie because the top-5 ranked wrestler certainly will not give it to him without a fight….Note: Depending on the score at the time of this match, don't be surprised to see Taylor Moore stepping in for the Big Red. Moore, who might not possess the overall talent of Arnone, is a specialist. He is the guy that Koll sends in when a pin is required…As a demonstration of his big move potential, Moore stuck his Boise State opponent in 34 seconds in Cornell's final match of the National Duals…With 1/3 of Moore's total wins coming by way of bonus point victory (four pins), Zabriskie must remain alert at all times.
Prediction: Zabriskie wins by decision
Projected Final Team Score: 18-12 Iowa State

The Northampton Area Food Bank (NAFB) is a nonprofit, volunteer-driven organization serving residents of the Northampton Area School District and adjacent areas. Formed in 1992 by a group of local churches, NAFB initially helped about 50 families, and functioned out of a very small borrowed building. As years passed, the needs of the community increased, and the Food Bank continued answering the clarion call to assist our neighbors. A new facility was opened in 2007, constructed entirely with funds made possible by the generosity of donors, the contributions of local businesses, and the time and talents of hardworking, dedicated volunteers.
The Food Bank presently has over 500 families registered and serves an average of 400-450 families per month a number that continues to rise. We now offer the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) for clients age 60 and older with proof of an income level of 130% of the federal poverty level or below. If they qualify, they receive a monthly box of food which is provided through Second Harvest, in addition to their distribution through our food bank.
To sustain our efforts, to meet the growing needs and to develop innovative programs and additional services, we welcome the communitys compassion and ongoing financial support, as well as donations of food throughout the year. The Food Bank is a 501-c-3 charitable organization and all monetary contributions are tax deductible as allowed by the law.
The Northampton Area Food Bank is affiliated with the Northampton Ecumenical Clergy Association, and is also a participating member agency of the Second Harvest Food Bank of Lehigh Valley and Northeast Pennsylvania.

Anyone who has used a search machine to research a specific topic knows that it's sometimes not so easy to find the information that you're looking for. In the following article, we'll give you a rough overview of search engine optimization and how it affects search results.
With the advancement of modern media industries, the field of online marketing is developing further and further. A part of this is search engine marketing. Divided into Search Engine Advertising (SEA) and Search Engine Optimization (SEO), an online presence is positioned in search machines.
SEA deals with paid text adverts (orange), whereas SEO is tailored to the organic search results (green). In the center of the graphic, you can see information from Google's Knowledge Graph, which is used to answer search machine questions directly in the SERPs.
SERP (Search Engine Result Pages) refers to the page on which a search engine's search results will be displayed.
Search engine optimization and Google algorithms
The abbreviation SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization and includes all measures which increase website visibility in search machines. Optimization is based on the algorithms from search engines. Algorithms are computer processes and formulas that make it possible to turn your questions into answers Since attention is the currency of the 21st century, the goal here is to achieve the highest ranking possible in the SERPs (Search Engine Result Pages). The biggest search machine Google, tries to evaluate which search result provides the most relevant information to the search query based on human reader's criteria, in order to provide the requested information.
On an average search, there are thousands to millions of websites which contain helpful information.
The Google algorithm currently includes over 200 individual cues that indicate which results will be displayed Since search machines don't publish their algorithms, it's not always easy to determine which measures are relevant. Google itself has only named the top 3 factors; content, links and RankBrain, i.e. Machine learning algorithms. Online marketers analyzes displaying ranking factors, their weight and effect are significantly more helpful.
With search engine optimization, it's important to know how Google works in the first place. Matt Cutts long worked as head of the Google spam team and can offer you a good explanation of this:
The process of SEO
The process of search engine optimization can roughly be divided into three areas: Keyword analysis, on-page optimization and off-page optimization.
Keyword analysis
The owner of a website must first consider which keywords they would like to use to bring in visitors to the site – and in doing so, they should always think from the perspective of the user searching. What are the intentions behind the search query? What is the person searching trying to find out? In order to answer these questions and to carry out an appropriate optimization, a keyword analysis should be carried out. Here, relevant search terms are grouped together, filtered according to search volume and compiled according to subject area. The goal is to be able to win over the user with the content on the site, so that they themselves engage with the site.
Types of search engine optimization
There are 2 types of optimization
On-page optimization
On-page optimization is about taking measures and making changes to your own website In addition to many technical factors, content aspects and structural aspects, it's also about integrating the chosen keywords into your own website. The search result is the first thing about the website that someone searching will see. Divided up into title and description, these lines must be enough to convince the person searching to click on the result in order to get further information from the website.
Once on the site, the titles should include the search topic using relevant search terms, in order to encourage users to read further. So-called headline tags (H tags) help to divide up the content of a web document into meaningful sections. There are 6 different types of tags, from H1 to H6 to label the titles. The numbers express how important a title is. With on-page optimization, H1 and H2 are especially decisive, since search engines give these greater importance.
An important point is the page load time. Google itself deems a value around 1.5 seconds to be a threshold between "good" and "bad". You can probably known this yourself – if the page doesn't load fast enough, then you'll click back to the search results and choose a different site to find your information on. For website owners with a slow page load speed that's causing users to click away, this one reason is already disastrous. Additionally, Google has confirmed page load speed as a ranking factor, which can then lead these websites to fall in ranking. To work against this, a first step for example is to minimize the size of integrated images (<100kb).
Images must of course be used to illustrate information on a website. For this, the Alt tag is used where you can leave text that accurately describes the image and its contents. Search engines use this in order to process the image content that they can't read this directly from the image files. The Alt attribute makes images more accessible to blind users, as the Alt tag is used for example to read out text with a screen reader.
A further point is an SEO-friendly URL structure. These should be easily readable to humans. Optimization is ultimately for the user and not just for the machine. It's more helpful to the user if the URL tells them what they should expect on the site. Short URLs that also contain an important keyword can increase the click rate. For example:https://magazine.magix.com/de/suchmaschinenoptimierung/
Algorithms count on high-quality context – they want to offer the person searching unique content with added value. For this reason, "Content is King" applies.
Short texts with only little content should be avoided. As a guideline, this should be around a minimum of 300 words. Ultimately, you want the user to stay on the website and optimally generate sales.
Off-page optimization
Off-page optimization is about building a reputation for the website though optimization techniques that can't be found on the website. Link building is used for this. Firstly, the website should be internally linked well enough so that the user can move quickly to all pages available and secondly, external links increase the website's publicity (links from one website referring to another). The more links to your page, the more seriously Google will take the page, which then in turn increases the ranking.
There are many points to consider for search engine optimization, both from a technical point of view as well from an editorial point of view. The success of the measures taken will be analyzed and evaluated using different tools.
Search engine optimization is a continual, ongoing and long term process where it's necessary to be able to change or adapt the SEO strategy at any time. For example, the approach must be changed due to an increasing number of mobile searches. A site optimization must be available, since a large portion of the traffic (search orientated activity on a website) is dependent on this. The goal of mobile optimization is the optimal display of web content on mobile end devices, and the user friendliness of the website will also depend on this.
Black vs. White Hat SEO
With the further development and commercialization of the Internet and search engines, methods of manipulation are also developing. Black Hat SEO predominantly uses spam methods, like for example keywords that are hidden on the page in the same color as the background (keyword spamming).
Ultimately, White Hat SEO is a good concept that decides whether you manage to permanently maintain the highest spots in the SERPs.
Search engines are working on extinguishing these methods, so that the use of Black Hat SEO can result in a penalty or a ban from the Google index (the website can no longer be found on Google).
SEO is a potential way to have profitable long-term traffic without generating high costs. However, the competition is constantly increasing in number, which in combination with the demands from search engines leads to high quality content, increasing the effort that needs to be made.

Retired Unitarian Universalist minister Randy Becker has written a mystery novel, "It's Always the Little Things," and "The Venice Stories," a collection of short stories set in Venezia. He and his wife, Elissa, enjoy extended visits with daughters and grandchildren in Washington, D.C., and Oakland, California. "The Book of Blessings: New Jewish Prayers for Daily Life, the Sabbath and the New Moon Festival," by Marcia Falk, has been brought back into print by CCAR Press in honor of the book's 20th anniversary. The collection, which raises questions about theology, gender and language, includes new essays by scholars in the U.S. and Israel. A book launch for the reprint will be held on Oct. 19 at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in New York. CCAR Press, a division of the Central Conference of American Rabbis, is the primary publisher of the Reform movement. Stephen Herman has practiced forensic and adult psychiatry for more than 40 years. He writes, "I continue to love what I do. Although still based in the New York metro area, last year I married an extraordinary woman who lives near Phoenix. Along with her have come two grown daughters, a son-in-law and two grandsons. I will be moving out there later this year. I have already started a practice there and am very busy. Living in Arizona will be challenging, as I don't carry a gun and typically stop functioning when the temperature is above 85 (and let's not discuss politics). I look exactly the same as I did in college (alternative fact)." A new book by Ron Kronish, P'99, "The Other Peace Process," was published in August. The book shares lessons and stories from Ron's 25-year career in interreligious dialogue. He is the proud sabba (Hebrew for "grandpa") of five grandchildren and this year celebrated 48 years of marriage to Amy. "Brooklyn Wars," Triss Stein's fourth mystery about Brooklyn neighborhoods and their past, was released in August. The novel is rooted in the history and politics of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Oregon journalist Alan Waldman, who has published more than 2,000 articles on a range of topics in more than 60 magazines, has written "89 Smart, Foreign TV Series," a book about English-language TV shows from countries other than the U.S.

Let's kick off the blog page with my master's thesis. It is a topic that I love – rammed earth buildings! You are a probably thinking, "who wants to live in a mud hut?" Fair question…I would say everyone would like an earth home from eco-conscious hipsters to low-income families to eccentric rich visionaries.
They are low-cost, sustainable, unique, recyclable, and thermally efficient. The land you are standing on can provide the primary building material. With a little design expertise and some labor, anyone can build a home in no time.

Today I officially announce myself back "in-season". Ok, officially it will be December 26. But I am officially back to somewhat regular blatherings on this blog. I am also going to declare that I achieved the Best.Offseason.Ever. If there is an award, it's mine. I am detrained, out of shape, and just a little bit overweight (a Christmas cookie intervention is also in the works). In fact, because I have taken this off-season so seriously I am getting over yet another cold. Clearly a sign I am NOT taking the usual care with myself. I have been excelling at shopping (with PIC - who knew?), cooking, drinking, eating, and lots of other stuff that has nothing to do with training.
Off-season is over!!! Yippee!!! Yes, there is a big race on the horizon and I am super excited to batten down the hatches and do everything I can to meet my goals. Maybe I'll even update my race schedule when (if) I redesign my blog.
It's all good though. This is the first time in I'm not sure how long I have taken significant time "off". I don't think I have ever taken this much time to recharge and refresh. But I did it. It's just time to get back to swimbikerun. And ski. Workouts have been at an all-time minimum. But my swim is fine albeit slooooooooow. Bike is a bit weak - I finally got on the trainer and discovered that my saddle sit bones are a bit, say...out of shape? Anywho, I still LOVE my ISM saddle, it's just that I have to get back on said saddle. And then my run. This is a surprise to me so far - its pretty good! (more on this in the next post - it deserves it's own post!!)
So yes, off-season is over. Cookie intervention about to begin. Time to get rid of my winter insulation (even if it is still winter).
Happy Holidays!!

Attending or exhibiting at an education conference isn't cheap.
There are the tangible costs: plane tickets, car rental and Uber fees, hotel reservations, dining out. That's on top of the fees to actually exhibit at a show, which can easily run in the tens of thousands. There also are intangible costs, like the time and productivity lost due to travel and being out of the office.
But, education conferences are absolutely worth the money — if you're willing to put in the work to turn conference connections into customers. Lead nurturing is essential to conference ROI.
You're sure to meet plenty of educators (influencers and decision-makers) when attending an education conference. Educators value these events for learning about education products and services. In fact, in a February 2017 survey, Agile learned that 64 percent of administrators and 65 percent of teachers favor conferences as an information resource.
Educators attend conferences to learn about education products and services that can make their lives, and their schools, better. Yet, companies often leave that potential business on the table. Can you believe that many conference exhibitors have no plans or processes in place to follow up with leads after the event is over?
This is alarming, considering one of the primary reasons companies attend and exhibit at shows is to generate leads. Here are a few ways you can make sure your investments in conferences and tradeshows pay off in strong leads that convert to sales.
We know that educators value conferences for learning about education products and services. So, chances are, at least a few of your contacts are planning to attend the next conference on your calendar. Some conferences even make registration lists available. Compare these to your file to find matches.
Then create and deploy a series of emails leading up to the conference that let educators know you'll be attending, where you'll be and what they can look forward to learning from you. Create a personalized email series for prospects and for current customers to create new business opportunities but also support relationship building and retention.
Check out a sample pre-conference email campaign in this article from Agile.
Developing follow-up lead nurture tracks within your marketing automation system is an important part of conference prep. You can bet that you'll meet a lot of educators at the conference. But you also can bet that most of those aren't ready to buy … yet. Before you hand conference leads off to sales, you'll need to nurture them.
This all starts with information gathering, either by scoring a business card or snagging contact information from a badge scan. Go through every contact you've made at the end of the day and file their information into your CRM to initiate the follow-up process. You might be tempted to wait until after the conference is over, but don't. Not only will information about contacts still be fresh in your mind, but you'll also get a jump on other vendors educators meet during the conference.
Before you initiate nurture campaigns, you'll want to organize these educators according to lead type. In general, leads can be sorted into three groups:
You'll probably have very few Tier I leads. But if you get them, pass them off to sales. Tier II and III leads should get organized into different nurture segments, or tracks, that deliver a series of highly targeted messages relevant to their interests, needs or traits. Remember to focus these messages on the customer rather than your product. Offer up helpful, brand relevant content (blogs, infographics, whitepapers, case studies) that establish thought leadership and trust before getting product-specific. This approach will naturally nurture educators down your sales funnel.
Keep message pacing organic. You don't want to overwhelm a new contact with daily messages, but you don't want to end up forgotten, either. Plan a series of three or four emails. Deploy the first immediately after meeting the educator, but then space the remaining messages a week or two weeks apart. Hopefully by the end of the track your lead will be ready to take action, either scheduling a demo or making a purchase. If they aren't quite ready, shuffle these folks into your regular communications to stay top of mind.
If you're working with a more sophisticated marketing automation system, you also can keep track of the lead's behavior, scoring leads throughout the conference nurture and assigning them to different tracks based on their actions. Gate your content to learn even more about a lead's interests. If they show interest in a particular product or service, move them to a track tailored for it. If they sign up to read a case study and then immediately download a product sheet, put them on the fast track to sales.
I've got the guide for you! Download our popular playbook, Lessons in Lead Nurturing, to learn the four core components of a successful lead nurturing strategy.
