Amanda Palmer Urges Morrissey to Try Kickstarter
Amanda Palmer, a famous fan of crowd-sourced album funding, has penned an open letter to Morrissey urging the British singer to consider using Kickstarter. In a letter on Salon's website, Palmer suggests that the former Smiths frontman skip finding a new record label and fund his next album through his fans.
"You're actually Morrissey," Palmer writes. "You have some of the most fanatical fans in the world; caring and devoted people from countries far and wide who would be really, really happy to support you at levels far beyond $5 just to have the songs in their ears.ean."
Palmer, who funded her last album project, Theatre Is Evil, last year via the site, explains in the letter that she has been a fan of Morrissey for a long time -- and even met him at a German festival eight years ago. She notes that she recently read an article that "said you've been told by doctors not to tour, and you were quoted saying that you wanted to make music, but you cannot find a label." In reaction, Palmer explains that she tweeted the link to the article and asked her followers, "How many people out there would pay $5 to crowdfund/pre-order a digital-only Morrissey album?"
STORY: Music Doc Filmmakers Increasingly Looking to Kickstarter for Funding
"There were many, many answers," Palmers writes. "You were discussed, anecdotes were shared… and I said very little. People, not surprisingly, said both super-worshipful and super-critical things about you, as you'd expect. But the point is, after a few hours, somewhere upwards of 1,400 tweets came in saying that they'd gladly pay $5 to fund a digital album."
The extensive letter lays out the fundamentals of a Kickstarter campaign and how artists can use the format to become their own record labels, and what means are required to create, manufacture and promote an album on your own. Palmers explains that Morrissey would likely need about $2.5 million in crowd-sourced funds to achieve this.
"If your album costs half a million to record, you'll earn about $1.5 million," she says. "I don't know what kind of advances and royalties you were getting from any of your previous labels, but I doubt they could compete with that. And if there's no label you can find to work with, anyway… is there even a point in making the comparison?"
STORY: Depeche Mode Gears Up for New Album With Club Show
Does Palmer expect the singer to take her up on this proposed plan for his next record? Not so much.
"Since I know you almost definitely won't do this and that you may well think I'm a bothersome asshole for writing you this open letter, I'd just like to say this," she writes. "You may be the end of a family line, but you have spawned a lot of singing, songwriting children, whether you like it or not, and I proudly count myself as one of them. The Buddha once said that 'if you were to carry your parents around with you for their whole lives -- your father on one shoulder and your mother on the other -- even to the point where they were losing their faculties and their excrement was running down your back, this would not repay your debt of gratitude to them.' As your devoted songwriting-spawn, I must say: I cannot get on board to quite this gruesome extent. But I'd be totally keen to help you crowdfund."
Morrissey, who recently canceled several tour dates due to health problems, has yet to respond to the letter.

On February 23, a rather sensational article in the DNA, Puneites, Look where the Pani in your Pani-Puri comes from, exposed photographs of a Pani-Puri vendor sourcing water from the tap of a public toilet near Shaniwar-wada. At 5:15 pm the next day, a municipal squad was seen patrolling the area, seizing food items from about 15 stalls (see Pune civic body cracks down on 'Toilet Pani' Puri).
Photo Credit: DNAIndia.com
Photo Credit: DNAIndia.com
The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has conducted similar raids in the past. Last month, 5361 kg of food cooked in the open was confiscated and destroyed, including 992 litres of Masala Pani. According to the PMC Health Chief, RR Pardeshi, action against erring street vendors and juice centres is taken under sections 3381 and 3392 of the BPMC Act 1949 (see 6,000kg street food destroyed in crackdown). The provisions empower the PMC to seize and dispose 'unwholesome' eatables.
Is Toilet Pani unclean? Outside the world constructed in our heads, it is no different from regular tap water. Since it is not general practice to recycle grey water3 in Indian cities, the water in our kitchens and bathrooms is sourced from the same supply chain. This water is publicly supplied, unless people are digging it out of the ground themselves. Further, it is supposed to be potable - a water treatment infrastructure is in place although network contamination is possible in some areas. People above their 20s might remember drinking water off the tap once upon a time. A majority of Indians continue to do so, even in the age of filters.
In Pune, the service provider is none other than the PMC. After claiming that 100% of the water it supplies is potable (see 2010 Report), our protagonist went on to confiscate, what it itself provided, on 'unwholesome' grounds. Only a water analysis can confirm if the water really was contaminated and at whose end, but in this case, a news article was enough to trigger the PMC raid on Friday. It seems that the PMC is falling for privileged perceptions about tap / toilet water.
It would be useful if the PMC could channel its enthusiasm to address the more pertinent issues that make street food unsafe. Research indicates that hygiene is compromised primarily due to imprudent handling and storage rather than unfiltered water4. The Consumers International Survey finds that most street food vendors get their water from municipal systems; the problem arises when stored water is used instead of running water. In India, 99% of street food vendors re-used stored water multiple times for washing hands and dishes. The national coordinator of the Street Food Survey5, SP Gupta, identifies similar issues, "The most vulnerable activity from the health point is mixing of ingredients by hand by workers at a majority of units without proper washing of hands and utensils."6
We all have a right to our own perceptions. Nobody has to confront a plate of Toilet Pani-Puri to deconstruct their notions of dirt. But it is irresponsible of the PMC to blindly subscribe to a social construct. It should back up its actions with solid facts if it plans to continue disrupting people's livelihoods in the guise of a guardian.

it's what we do
It may already be Black Friday but my clients know how thankful we are for them. Without their support, there wouldn't be Equity Sense. Take a look at the link above from a client who signed up back on Nov 21st. This is after 4 days with us. For a fella who pays only $150 a month, getting back $5,000 is a good Risk/Reward if I don't say so myself.
We are always thankful for people like him who really show great aptitude in the markets and who take advantage of our ideas to the fullest. There are still a lot of people out there stuck in a rut - hoping that they somehow will get out of the funk that they are in. All I can say is that if you are trying to figure this market out and you feel like you're going nowhere, perhaps it's time you seek help.
We may not be the smartest people on the block, but our performance speaks for itself. Our clients, much like the gentleman who wrote that fantastic comment today, above, provide clear testaments to what we can do if you have us by your side.
This Black Friday and this coming Holiday season, maybe what you need in addition to that eggnog is a little bit of sense, Equity Sense. :)
Have a good weekend!
pain is the best teacher
Markets are currently crashing. Stock earnings failed to excite the bulls. It's no surprise that these two have precipitated a lot of interest in our services - be it classes or subscriptions. I find myself always disappointed when I have clients who sign up because they lost money with their bets. About 69% of new clients are people looking to recover their losses. It would be nice if that was for clients who organically found their way to Equity Sense.
So why the client preference? It's not a preference thing but more so a quality thing. People who think that we possess the magic formula to regaining their lost capital are truly wrong. For every 10 trades we do, about 6 or 7 are profitable. This means that there will be days where you'll see us lose money. Perhaps we're one of the few out there who will publicly admit this as others would rather keep touting that they never lose.
Let's take the new clients for example. They joined because they lost money trading Apple, Google and Amazon earnings. These are not small losses. Some bet $10K and $20K into options or shares and ended up getting hit really badly. Here we are advertising classes and subscriptions in addition to guides to help retail traders. Most ignore these ads and when they get burned by the markets, that's when they come in and seek help.
Human beings are hardwired to be reactive than proactive. They see advanced study as taxing or a waste. It's that generally laissez-faire attitude towards knowledge and education that prevent a lot of traders from ever succeeding. If these folks only spent the $500 for our guide, they would be gaining $1000 or $2000 after these stock earnings rather than be $8K or $12K in the hole. But alas, regrets come last otherwise it wouldn't be called regret.
With such a big headwind coming, I do hope all of you are prepared for what's to come. I'll tell you this. When the UK voted back in June, my bet was on REMAIN to win. I was hugely wrong but I never lost money as I traded the markets down. I still maintain that Hillary will win - not because she's the best candidate but because the college of electors will favor her over Trump. Ours is the illusion of democracy and not true democracy. If by some stroke of luck Trump does win both the popular and electoral votes, brace yourselves. I hope you know how to short.
And if you are seeking to sign up with us then, don't get sticker shock at our rates because when panic overwhelms the market, you can be sure we'll take advantage of that. Of course, the best case is you pray Hillary wins and you'll never have to hear from me for a few months because everything will be awesome.
Stay happy my friends!

The gay Lincoln controversy
The question of Lincoln's sexuality can never be answered. But that doesn't mean it shouldn't be asked.
By Christopher Capozzola January 16, 2005
Text size – +
EVERY GENERATION, it seems, gets the Lincoln it deserves. And so C.A. Tripp's portrait of a Lincoln for the ''Queer Eye'' generation should come as no surprise. In ''The Intimate World of Abraham Lincoln'' (Free Press), the therapist and former Kinsey sex researcher argues that Lincoln was homosexual in both thought and deed, with as many as five intimate lovers ...

In past years, recovery of fossils was relatively easy due to the co-operation of the former local bentonite mining company, Pembina Mountain Clays. When a fossil was found, it was carefully removed by trained museum personnel to ensure that it was not damaged during the recovery procedure.
Often the first view of what might be a major find is only a tiny fragment or small bone exposed by the bulldozers working at the mine. For the first step of its removal a large area around the find is excavated to determine the extent of the specimen. This is done with the aid of special tools. Picks and shovels are used to remove the heavy overburden of shale and bentonite and smaller tools, such as dental picks, brushes, and trowels are used for fine cleaning. When the entire fossil is exposed a trench is dug around it and the block is undercut, leaving the bones sitting on a pedestal slightly smaller than the block to be removed. If the fossil is very large it must be divided into several smaller blocks. At this point the specimen is photographed and a detailed site diagram is plotted with each bone numbered. If the fossil is especially fragile, "glyptal", a chemical hardener, is applied to the bones. At this stage the specimen is ready for the application of the "field jacket".
For the first stage in preparing the "field Jacket" a layer of wet paper towel is applied to the fossil. This serves to keep it separated from the plaster which is later applied and which becomes a "hard jacket." This part of the jacket is made of strips of burlap soaked in plaster of paris and then draped around the block starting at the bottom. Once the plaster jacket is dry and hardened, chisels are driven under the block to loosen it from the ground. The jacket is then quickly turned over and the fossil, still embedded undisturbed in the block, can then be safely transported to the Centre.
Later at the Centre, the matrix is removed, exposing the underside of the fossil. Then the fossil is carefully cleaned and, if necessary, receives further hardening with preservatives. Finally it is removed from the jacket and either put on display or classified and placed in drawers for storage. Each fossil is given a catalogue number which indicates what it is, and when and where it was found. An index card is then completed with all the information about the find, and is filed for future reference.
Fossils within the field jacket are situated in a matrix or rock, ensuring it doesn't move during transport.
In the lab the jacket is cut open with a saw. Using picks the rock layer (matrix) is removed to reveal the fossil. For finer work to remove hardened minerals from the outside of the fossil, microscopes and magnifying glasses are used in conjunction with an air scribe. The air scribe is a movable point that blows out air to remove finer material on the specimen.
Some specimens may require consolidant. The consolidant the MDM uses is B-76. This powder compound is dissolved in acetone for different consistencies. Application is primarily in the field and left to harden before removal. While preparing some fossils consolidant may be used inside the lab but must be left to harden over night. A consolidant acts like a glue from the inside out. The solution seeps into the fossil and begins hardening from the inside to the outside. This provides support and rigidity to the fossil. The fossils are prepared in such a way to leave them in their original state as much as possible.
Once prepared the fossils are ready for storage or display use.

Here at ABODO, our favorite section of the Sunday New York Times is obviously Real Estate. (Although the copywriters are particularly fond of the Book Review.) And our favorite recurring column is What You Get for…, which highlights three properties in different parts of the country, all of which cost the same amount.
That amount is typically in the millions, or at least the high six figures, which makes the column a fun glimpse into how the other half lives. But it's not often all that helpful to a potential renter.
That's why we've created our own spin on the idea. Each month, we'll highlight nine rentals across the country, priced reasonably at around $1,000. Big places, small places, places with pools — in big cities and college towns; on the east coast, the west coast, and everywhere in between.
So sit back, relax, and try to keep your apartment envy in check.
WHAT: A three-bedroom 1,000-square-foot apartment in northern Nashville that comes with free access to a pool, 24-hour fitness center, and a park for your pets, plus a balcony that overlooks the complex's expansive lawn.
HOW MUCH: $1,036 per month.
SETTING: Located in Nashville's Poplar Glen neighborhood, the Point Breeze apartment complex is in a highly residential area with a grocery store, high school, and shopping center nearby. It's just a 10-minute drive from downtown Nashville and just 5 minutes from notoriously hip Five Points, which is the heart of the East Nashville neighborhood.
WHAT: A recently renovated one-bedroom apartment in downtown Denver. The Route 40 apartments, at 450–500 square feet, come with granite countertops, large windows, and hardwood floors, plus parking, laundry, and storage available for an added fee. The larger units have added closet space.
HOW MUCH: $950–$1,295 per month.
SETTING: This apartment is in a sweet spot of downtown Denver: The Denver Art Museum, Colorado State Capitol, Denver Zoo, and Denver Botanic Gardens (inside gorgeous Cheeseman Park) are all less than a mile away. And the University of Colorado Denver is just a 2-mile trip. At the corner of Downing and Colfax, restaurants, bars, theaters, and shops are just outside. This is, however, a quieter side of downtown Denver. Closer to the campus is where you'll find the skyscrapers of the Central Business District.
WHAT: The Mediterranean-lifestyle-inspired apartments at Scholar's Rooftop range from 620 to 710 square feet. The units themselves sport smart details, like wrought-iron fixtures, stainless steel appliances, and arched openings. Water and internet are free, and there's a washer and dryer in every unit. From the outside, the building looks like a motel, with external stairs, walkways, and entrances to each unit. But the icing on the cake for botanophiles is the raised-bed gardens on the rooftop patio.
HOW MUCH: $995–$1,070 per month.
SETTING: The Scholar's Rooftop apartments are on Bloomington's north side, about a mile from the heart of the city and even closer to Indiana University — perfect for the college-bound Hoosier. It's in a fairly residential neighborhood, with a mix of single-family homes and apartment complexes, but still has easy access to grocery stores, delicious restaurants, and retailers.
WHAT: A studio apartment with recently installed hardwood floors, freshly painted walls, and new coin-op laundry on-site. Because it is a studio, square footage is a bit limited, but there is a spacious closet, kitchen, and bathroom.
HOW MUCH: $1,050 per month.
SIZE: Studio, 1 BA
SETTING: Located in the southwest quadrant of the 10 and 110 interchange, three miles from the heart of downtown, these studio units are in LA's University Park neighborhood, near the Los Angeles Technical College, Mount Saint Mary's University, and the University of Southern California. This makes for a diverse and youthful neighborhood that contains more historic and cultural monuments than almost any other area of LA.
WHAT: An expansive second-floor apartment in a fully renovated historic carriagehouse, which you can still detect in the exposed brick and tall sloping ceilings throughout. This apartment is on the higher end for rent in Columbus, but its 949 square feet make up for the price tag. Plus, there are large windows, a walk-in bedroom closet, off-street parking, and a washer and dryer.
HOW MUCH: $1,100 per month.
SETTING: Near downtown, this upper unit is across the street from Columbus' Topiary Park, which holds shrubbery sculpted into human, animal, and other shapes, plus a koi pond and live music events. It's also within walking distance of Franklin University and the Columbus State Community College.
WHAT: A City Plaza apartment in downtown Atlanta that ranges from 707 to 777 square feet, completely decked out with the perks of luxury living. Aside from the hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, in-unit laundry, and balcony — which are notable in themselves — the building also houses several retail shops, such as a dry cleaner and grocer. According to local real estate agents in Georgia, "the City Plaza Courtyard also acts like a private park for renters, with a fire pit and patio tables."
HOW MUCH: $960–$1,060 per month.
SETTING: On the next block over from the City Plaza Apartments is the Atlanta City Hall, and just a block farther is the Georgia State Capitol and accompanying Liberty Plaza. And it's just blocks from Georgia State University. Located right downtown, you're in the middle of everything Atlanta has to offer, including the Georgia Aquarium and the Georgia Dome, where both the Falcons and the Georgia State Panthers play.
WHAT: A 627-square-foot apartment with water, heat, and electricity included. Also onsite: parking and shared laundry facilities.
HOW MUCH: $1,025 per month.
SETTING: Providence is a relatively small city of less than 200,000, but it's part of a much larger metro area that tops out at more than 1.5 million — mostly in the tiny state of Rhode Island — which makes for a lot of dense housing. This apartment is located in the College Hill neighborhood, which is where you'll find Brown University, many of its students, and Brown Stadium. Historically, College Hill was also the first permanent colonial settlement in the state.
WHAT: A one-bedroom apartment in the Yankee Hill neighborhood of Milwaukee, in an updated retro-style building. Heat is included, and there are also on-site options for laundry and parking. These Lexington Apartments also come with an air conditioner unit and dishwasher.
HOW MUCH: $1,095 per month.
SETTING: The Yankee Hill area is within East Town neighborhood, just south of the Lower East Side. Very close to downtown, the area around the Lexington Apartments is extremely walkable, with a grocery store nearby as well as Cathedral Square — a community park that hosts live music and festivals, ringed by bars and restaurants. It's also just blocks away from one of Milwaukee's defining features: Lake Michigan, which has a lakefront dotted with parks and trails.
WHAT: A 844-square-foot house, complete with a yard, front porch, and garage. Coming in under our $1,000 budget, this house has wood floors, freshly painted walls — in blue, red, green, gray, and more — and updated finishes, such as ceiling fans and bathroom cabinets.
HOW MUCH: $900 per month.
SETTING: Rapid City is South Dakota's second-largest city and a common stop for those making a trip out West to visit Badlands National Park and Mount Rushmore National Memorial. This house is a little outside of Rapid City's downtown area, and the area between is 3 miles of parks — Founders Park, Skyline Wilderness Area Park, and Dinosaur Park. Although it's a fairly small city of about 70,000, it still offers hip local restaurants and breweries.

Know of the Belgian electronic mavens Front 242? They have been going strong since 1981 and has been dubbed fathers of Electronic Body Music (EBM). Although I have been a huge fan of electronic music since I first heard Depeche Mode and Yazoo in the early 80's, I didn't really fell for Front 242 back in the days, despite really digging songs like Headhunter and Quite Unusual. Instead I preferred their compatriots Neon Judgement. Fast forward many many years to when I met my boyfriend who is a huge fan of Front 242. He totally opened my eyes and I realized that the band has done loads of really amazing songs.
So how does this connect to the t-shirt designs above? Well their biggest hit Headhunter has a really suggestive refrain:
One you lock the target
Two you bait the line
Three you slowly spread the net
And four you catch the man
I got kind of obsessed with this 4-step plan and started to imagine different scenarios. So for my boyfriend's birthday in 2007 I decided to design t-shirts for every step. The black one is obviously the first one, and the green one is the one I gave him this year. Two more to go!
Both are sewn by me using a brilliant t-shirt pattern from Burda (#7916).
The first design is a ink print transfer, that unfortunately has not stand the test of time in a satisfactory way (the transfer has peeled a bit).
The other is screen printed by me using the photo emulsion technique. I plan to write a tutorial on how to do screen printing at home in the future.

FOX has opted not to renew the time-travel drama "Terra Nova."
While "Terra Nova" has been cancelled by its original network home, this isn't necessarily the end of the road for the Steven Spielberg-produced series.
20th Century Fox TV is still hoping to parlay strong international sales and so-so numbers into a new home, presumably on cable.
A final decision on "Terra Nova" had initially been expected by the end of 2011 and the decision kept getting dragged out and dragged out, a strangely strangely fitting fate for a series that was initially supposed to have a special sneak premiere in May of last season.

ASAE Marketing, Membership & Communications Conference Challenged and Inspired Attendees
WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#ASAE–During ASAE's 2019 Marketing, Membership, & Communications Conference
(MMCC), June 6-7, 1,008 attendees and industry partners came from 45
states to take part in 40 learning labs, three preconference workshops,
two keynote sessions, and a sold-out exhibit hall at the Walter E.
Washington Convention Center.
Participants were challenged to find the answers they have been looking
for from boosting engagement to lead gen ideas, marketing automation,
AI, and more. The learning labs covered multiple levels of experience in
the following three disciplines: Membership Engagement & Recruitment,
Marketing & Technology, and Communication & Outreach.
"We are thrilled to share that this year's event had the highest
attendance since 2016. It is a testament to the quality of our education
sessions and the important role that marketing, membership, and
communications play in a successful organization," said ASAE President
and CEO John H. Graham, IV, FASAE, CAE.
Kicking off MMCC as the opening keynote was Johnny Earle, the Apparel
Designer and Founder of Johnny Cupcakes. He shared stories about how he
created such a loyal brand following, fans of his limited-edition shirts
have gone so far as to permanently tattoo the brand's logo on
themselves. Earle outlined how associations could then adapt and create
similar methods for building brand loyalty among members through social
media and experiential branding.
On June 7, ASAE announced the Gold Circle Award for Overall Excellence
winner is the Organization of American Historians for Historians and the
Media: A Database for Informed Public Opinion. Here's a full
list of all the 2019 Gold Circle Awards winners, which is sponsored
by High Roads Solution.
Jennifer Golbeck, PhD, Director of the Social Intelligence Lab at
University of Maryland, College Park, gave attendees a look behind the
curtain at how the data collected by the algorithms of social media
giants such as Facebook, major retailers like Target and Amazon and many
others can be leveraged to capture information on consumers. She also
outlined a set of questions organizations should ask themselves as they
analyze their own big social data during the closing keynote.

Def Leppard take Download back to its roots
After a day that saw Whitesnake, Journey and ZZ Top take to the main stage, Sheffield's finest cranked out such hits as 'Pour Some Sugar On', 'When Love And Hate Collide', and of course 'Let's Get Rocked, as images of the band's early career flashed across the big screen at the back.
"See the hair on my arms? It's up, man. just like it was in 1986," says frontman Joe Elliott, before the band break into 'Rock Of Ages'.
The last time Def Leppard played Donington was in 1986; their first show after drummer Paul Allen lost his arm in a motorcycle accident. Elliot paid tribute to his bandmate's spiritual rebirth - but wasn't above poking fun at Allen's tears of nostalgia.
Trivium drew the short straw, making up the main competition over on the Second stage. However, they were determined to go down fighting. Aside from some tuning problems at the start of 'Fugue', they made the best of the situation with the storming 'We Are Fire', and the single that started it all 'When The Light Dies'.
The Main stage wasn't short of legends earlier in the day either. Despite their early slot, Journey still brought out the crowds for the classic 'Keep On Believin'', while Whitesnake's 'Is This Love' brought one of the best crowd singalongs of the weekend. However, it was ZZ Top who really showed the youngsters what rock'n'roll is. Every move perfectly executed with almost psychic timing, 'Gimme All Your Lovin'' and 'Smart-Dressed Man' proved that age truly is no barrier where great festival sets are concerned.
"I can't believe it!" said Fiona, 38, from Burton-on-Trent. "I don't know how old ZZ Top are, but they are still brilliant. They make me feel so young! There's so many old rockers here, I could actually have a sugar daddy today!"
More recent legends of (nu-) metal Papa Roach kept things ticking over, greatest hit 'Last Resort' justifying the love of an impressive turn-out on the second stage. It wasn't all about the old school, though. Pulled Apart By Horses scored points early on, climbing into the crowd and up speaker stacks over on the Tuborg Stage, and Fei Comodo staged a wall of death over at the Red Bull tent.
However, the biggest small stage buzz of the day was reserved for the UK debut of Steel Panther. Thousands gathered both inside and outside the Tuborg tent to hear the eighties spoof metallers banter about "fucking hot bitches" and "slipping on vaginal juices" between the hilarious ballad 'Community Property', 'Party All Day' and 'Turn Out The Lights'.

Before we start, I just want to tell you that this is not a course for digital marketers but a reflection of how many people misunderstood the word "marketing". Many people say it's an art of building your audience, some say it's building awareness about your products or services, while others say it's a complicated process of promoting your business.
I've asked a number of people "what is marketing" and did some research, and here are the answers that I've got.
- It's a form of advertising online, in social media, on TV, on the radio, or in magazines or other printed materials to promote a product or a business
- It's conducting surveys to find out what people think of your product or your company
- It's a process of creating a brand for a company, including its logo and a catchy tagline
- It's creating a brand for a product or services, including the name of the design of its package
- It's the art of selling/sales
All of the above answers can be considered correct. Anybody who are performing these specific tasks can call themselves marketers. But do these processes really defines marketing?
Marketing by Definition
Here's Merriam-Webster's definition of marketing, "The activities that are involved in making people aware of a company's products, making sure that the products are available to be bought, etc." On the other hand, Oxford Dictionary defines it as, "The action or business of promoting and selling products or services, including market research and advertising."
Business Dictionary described it as:
The management process through which goods and services move from concept to the customer. It includes the coordination of four elements called the 4 P's of marketing:
- identification, selection and development of a product,
- determination of its price,
- selection of a distribution channel to reach the customer's place, and
- development and implementation of a promotional strategy.
Lastly, Entrepreneur says "Marketing is a form of communication between you and your customers with the goal of selling your product or service to them. Communicating the value of your product or service is a key aspect of marketing."
What Do These Definitions Tell You?
Summarizing the definitions provided above, you can say that:
"Marketing is all about communicating to your customers by connecting your product and/or services to their deepest desires, dreams and problems."
Some people may have a better explanation about how marketing works, but I assure you that the moment you learn who your customers are, identify where you can find them and understand your customers needs, you will be successful with your marketing strategies. But are these definitions enough?
Peter Drucker has said:
"The aim of marketing is to know and understand the customer so well that the product or service fits him and sells itself."
Are you confused yet? Here's more..
Marketing as a Form Communication
Communicating with your existing and potential customers is a prerequisite to understand their needs and aspirations. It is in this process that you get ideas which could further be converted into products or services. Did you know that this process gave birth to Google.
By communicating with the people using search engines like Yahoo, Ask, Altavista, etc., Google founders are able to find the problems to solve and the desires to fulfill, and from there they created the billion dollar company that until now, billions of people are using everyday.
Now that you have the product that will solve some the problems of the world, you still have the challenges of presenting it to them. So what should you do next?
Marketing is All About Values
We all know that Steve Jobs is one of the best marketers in the world, and he knows how to make every product great not only by its features but how these products can connect to people and how it can change their lives. See the video below to find out what I'm talking about.
What do you think? Did you get any clue after watching the video?
Marketing is About Customers Engagement
Marketing is vast and wide. It can be funny, emotional, or serious. It can be any mix of text, photos, charts, graphs, and videos. Most people think marketing efforts are designed to engage, but what will make them coming back for more? Competition is fierce, and in fact there are companies who offer better products and services—some with the exact same products and services that you offer.
How can you make your business standout and create loyal customers? Don't you know that sometimes, marketing can screw things around if you don't do it properly. Some businesses, instead of acquiring new customers, created hate among their customers because of unfulfilled promises and false hopes. One wrong move and you will lose your business. You should know how can you make healthy engagement with your customers.
Marketing Should Touch Your Audience's Heart
Do you remember the recent viral videos by Jollibee? I'm sure you have seen one of them. Did you feel your tears running down your cheeks after watching it? Jollibee never fails to create commercials that touches the heart of their market. They focus on building meaningful relationships by showing different values that their target customers can relate to, and it's so damn effective!!!
Marketing Amplifies Your Brand Message
Marketing helps connect the audience through stories — most importantly success stories about how your brand has helped other customers with your products and services. People love stories and it's one of the best marketing strategies that until now is still being used by many companies worldwide. The only problem is some businesses neglect to build their brand and only focuses on acquiring more money from their customers even if their reputation is turning sour. If you market a brand with bad reputation, it will only make it's reputation status worse.
I'm sure there's still a lot to say, and while marketing methods will evolve, and respond to current industry and cultural trends, it is very important for you to understand how marketing works.
Marketing is simply making your audience fall in love with your brand, build a meaningful relationship with them, keep them coming back for more and live up to their expectations.
Even though marketing is simple, the processes, methods and strategies are crucial. If you want to learn more about different marketing strategies that work. Subscribe to my blog and watch out for next week's digital marketing blog.
What do you think? Do you have a different perspective about marketing? Please share your comments below and let's help more people understand how marketing works and how simple marketing is.

As we brace ourselves for the election here in the UK, I thought it would be interesting to see what lessons our politicians could learn from three recent examples of how not to communicate.
First of all, the furore over the almost immediately withdrawn Pepsi ad featuring one of the ubiquitous Kardashian sisters. If you didn't see it during its "blink and you miss it" moment of fame, the ad featured Kendall Jenner disarming a potential riot by presenting a beleaguered policeman with a can of fizzy drink. Made entirely in-house, without the benefit of any professional external counsel, the problem with the ad was that it was seen as trivialising the civil rights movement, prompting a sarcastic quote from the daughter of Martin Luther King amongst a torrent of other criticism. Bernice King tweeted a photo of her father being confronted by a police officer at a protest, saying "If only Daddy would have known about the power of Pepsi".
I'm willing to bet that had an agency creative come up with this idea (and let's face it, the path to the right idea is paved by the ones that get discarded along the way), someone on the team would have pointed out the obvious pitfalls way before it got to the client. It's a great example of how groupthink can blind perfectly sensible people to the reality of how the outside world will interpret their actions. Mind you, once they realised they'd got it wrong, Pepsi pulled the ad and apologised absolutely everywhere to absolutely everyone, so full marks for getting that bit right at least.
Next, of course, there's the United Airlines saga, which saw a paying passenger quite literally dragged out of his seat in order to make way for United flight attendants. To the protests of other passengers, he was hauled up the aisle like a sack of potatoes – all of which was captured on film and uploaded via social media within a matter of minutes. This was compounded by an official statement which spoke of "re-accommodating" passengers, failed to apologise and was then followed by leaked internal emails which appeared to blame the passenger in question for not giving up the seat that he had paid for. It's laudable to want to protect your staff, but seriously, did nobody from the CEO's office even watch the videos before sitting down to write the press statement? As a communicator, one of the most important things to do in a crisis is to take a step back and look at events through the eyes of an ordinary person, not someone bound to the organisation you work for. It doesn't help to just blindly defend yourself and your people in circumstances like these. Be a person – a real person – and act like a real person would.
Last but not least, there is the shameful example of Sean Spicer, White House Press Secretary, seeking to explain why missiles had been fired into Syria by dint of 'ranking' the misdeeds of dictators. This was, it appears, his way of establishing just how bad Assad really is in the opinion of the current US administration. Leaving aside the idiocy of this approach, and the vile nature of the comparisons made, did it never occur to him that the people watching and listening might also be aware of the lessons that history teaches us? Or that such attempts to categorise suffering merely serve to insult those who have experienced it? It is foolish in the extreme to discount the intelligence of your audience, the depth of their knowledge and the intensity of their engagement.
Shocking as these three examples are, coming hot on the heels of each other they do provide important lessons for politicians as we move towards a June election: 1. Think about how the outside world, the real world, will view your actions and revise them accordingly; 2. Be human – put yourselves in the shoes of others, empathise, understand when to stand down, say you're sorry and find a new way forward; 3. Never underestimate the people you're talking to – chances are they know more than you do, and they certainly won't hesitate to tell you when you've got it wrong. If nothing else, it's going to be an interesting few weeks.

Interactive Computer Cluster
Gateway to MSI's interactive computing options
The Interactive Computer Cluster acts as a gateway to MSI's interactive computing options. It is MSI smallest cluster and has very limited resources to accommodate long, compute intensive workflows. Instead, it is designed to run applications that have Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) or interactive terminal interfaces such as Ansys, Pymol, Rstudio, IPython, and MATLAB.
For applications with a GUI NICE is the recommended way to access the Interactive Cluster. The Interactive Computer Cluster can also be accessed via a terminal interface and specific amounts of memory and processors can be requested using the isub command.
For Windows programs, the Citrix service provides access to Windows desktops.

CPH:DOX reveals the films nominated for F:ACT Award, the competition for investigative documentary journalism.
The full line-up for CPH:DOX 2017 will be announced March 1.
F:ACT Award is dedicated to films in the field between documentary filmmaking and investigative journalism. This year, 11 films are nominated in this prestigious competition, consisting of six World Premieres and five International Premieres.
See all the competition nominees here
The winner of the F:ACT Award will be selected by a jury and announced at CPH:DOX's Award Ceremony on Friday, March 24 at Kunsthal Charlottenborg. The winner will receive 5.000€.
The nominees are:
Accidental Anarchist (John Archer & Clara Glynn. UK). World premiere.
Carne Ross is a former diplomat with a CV that includes everything from political attaché for the British Foreign Office in the 1990s to declared anarchist with a mission to promote democracy in its most direct form. In the years around the Iraq war, Ross had a rock-solid faith in the institutions of Western democracy. He was himself instrumental in creating the foundation for the fatal war, which has destabilised world peace over the past fifteen years. But his experience of corruption and inertia sent the disappointed Ross in a direction he never believed he would go. Today, he still travels around the world. But now, the journey is going from Wall Street to Noam Chomsky's office, and from Spain to an autonomous enclave in Syria to investigate alternatives to a society based on hierarchical power structures. Anarchism is not a social system based on chaos, but a radical, collectivist form of democracy. Agree with him or not, there is plenty of food for thought and debate in the encounter with the in all respects well-versed Ross. And there is no doubt that 'Accidental Anarchist' is a film of our times.
Cause of Death: Unknown (Anniken Hoel. Norway). World premiere.
When her older sister suddenly dies of cardiac arrest as a result of antipsychotic medication, Anniken Hoel embarks on an investigative detective mission that takes her right into the dark heart of parts of a pharmaceutical industry, where the manipulation of researchers, scientists and politicians is an everyday fact. And where dollars have more to say than the respect for human life. Hoel travels around the world to obtain testimony from experts, patients and (after many attempts) representatives of the pharmaceutical industry, and she presents her complex research in an impressively level-headed way. But behind her systematic stubbornness is a smouldering anger about the tragic fate of her sister and thousands of others. An anger you will soon end up sharing in this shocking but also deeply moving and phenomenally captivating journalistic film, which fights cynicism and greed to the hilt.
Dead Donkeys Fear No Hyenas (Joakim Demmer. Sweden). World premiere.
Why does a famine-ravished country such as Ethiopia export tonnes of food to the West, when it can hardly feed its own population? And why does the World Bank spend billions of dollars on sustainable development aid, when millions of farmers are at the same time being deprived of the right to use their land? Hoping to achieve high export earnings and secure future prosperity, the Ethiopian government has decided to lease millions of hectares of land to foreign investors. Land that formerly belonged to the locals and local farmers, who now lose everything without any prospect of getting a share of the money the government earns. The harsh and unequal struggle for the green gold of the future – the planet's farming lands – is fought between speculators and farmers on two different continents. Joakim Demmer sets out to uncover the widely sprawling battlefield where it's at, and 'Dead Donkeys Fear No Hyenas' is investigative journalism that will make you jump up from your chair – and shout with anger. Demmer's film is produced by Margarete Jangård who also produced the veteran director Fredrik Gertten ('Bananas!' and 'Bikes vs. Cars'), and is sure to bring out the activist in all of us.
Radio Kobanï (Reber Dosky. The Netherlands). International Premiere.
An exceptionally captivating story about a stubborn young woman's struggle for her local radio station in the war-torn Kurdish city Kobanï in Syria. In the shadow of Islamic State's bloody battles, the 21-year-old radio reporter Dilovan tries to rekindle the inhabitants' spirits with her daily radio reports. She interviews both young and old, and attentively listens to the stories of the survivors. But even though the local troops in Kobanï have driven away ISIS, the brutal executions, countless dead and the rotting corpses have left their indelible mark on the city's inhabitants. As Dilovan herself says: 'There are no winners in war'. 'Radio Kobanï' is a report from the front line of an almost unbearable disaster. But it is also a deeply inspiring story about initiative, courage and love. And about how a single woman is able to track down life's little pleasures, even under the remains of a bombed and war-torn city.
The Unforgiven (Lars Feldballe-Petersen. Denmark). World premiere.
Can one, as a war criminal, come to terms with the past, when one has committed what is possibly the worst of all crimes: torturing and executing innocent victims in the unholy name of war? This is a question that Esad Landzo has asked himself for years. But now he has arrived at a realisation. He has to meet the people he victimised during the civil war in former Yugoslavia almost 25 years ago. For it is only through reconciliation and forgiveness that Esad can set himself free. And, like he says when he sits with a picture of himself as an 18-year-old and can barely recognise himself: 'I simply don't know where all the evil came from.' But can Esad Landzo be forgiven – and should he? 'The Unforgiven' confronts Esad with his victims and with himself as a young man in a dark, personal tale of evil, self-hatred and forgiveness. But the psychology of war is a bleak and inaccessible landscape that stretches far beyond Esad's own, heartbreaking story.
Return of a President (Lotte Mik-Meyer. Denmark). World premiere.
In 2009, Madagascar's president Marc Ravalomanana was deposed from power in a coup which replaced him with a young radio DJ and his private army, and which sent the population into abject poverty. From his exile in South Africa, Ravalomanana is now determined to regain power by peaceful means. But the road back to his native country and to democracy is a minefield of political intrigue and international economic interests. A hard path, which the Danish filmmaker Lotte Mik-Meyer has documented over the course of five years, with unique access to the diplomatic power play – and to Ravalomanana himself. For more than political ideals are at stake. The former colonial power France is just one of the countries that has socio-economic interests in the African island nation, and which secretly but actively supports the new regime. A film about the fragility of democracy and about a determined man's mission to defend it.
The New Radical (Adam Bhala Lough. USA). International premiere.
Cody Wilson gained a place on Wired Magazine's list of the world's 15 most dangerous people when he invented a gun you can make with a 3D printer. Together with the likes of Julian Assange and the British hacktivist Amir Taaki, Wilson belongs to a new generation of charismatic crypto-anarchists, who with an angry self-image as freedom fighters engage in a digital battle to wrest power from the hands of the world's governments. Whatever the cost may be. 'The New Radical' takes us right into the heart of their project, and explores a new form of radicalisation, which has unforeseeable consequences. For what will the new anarchists replace the ruins of the old order with? And is the ultimate freedom they are dreaming of a real possibility or a dangerous, totalitarian utopia? No matter what, the new order can turn the world as we thought we knew it – at least before Trump came to power – completely upside down. Adam Bhala Lough follows their example and leaves reaching conclusions to us.
Vape Wave (Jan Kounen. Switzerland). International premiere.
Jan Kounen is the man behind films as diverse as the cult classic 'Dobermann' and the rosy romance 'Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky' – but this time he has made a documentary, and it is dedicated to the lowbrow lifestyle symbol of them all: the e-cigarette! 'Vape Wave' is the first film about electronic tobacco, which has replaced the acrid cigarette with a chemical alternative, where nobody can quite foresee the consequences. In an obstreperous montage of animation, quaint archive footage and real studies of the worldwide success of e-cigarettes, Kounen blows away the smokescreen and looks at the serious effects of 'vaping'. Both health researchers and dedicated raw-smokers get to say their bit in an entertaining and quite scary film about the sublime puff, that is likely to give the modern Marlboro man (and woman) some food for thought. Ceci n'est pas une pipe!
The Force (Pete Nicks. USA). International premiere.
Step inside 'The Wire' of reality. Corruption, violence and abuse of power are commonplace in the historically tense divide between Oakland Police Department and the community that the police force has been created to serve and protect. The newly appointed police chief, Chief Sean Whent, comes to the city filled with idealism and an ambition to build bridges between the citizens and the police officers. But Whent is quickly forced to face the harsh realities in the form of new accusations of brutality, police violence and sexual harassment in his own department. The question is whether he can find a method to break the vicious circle – a question that is highly topical, far beyond the police force's own ranks. The director Peter Nicks's view from the back seat of the police car is both cool and concentrated throughout the entire film, as innocent civilians are being interrogated, detained and even assaulted by police officers who are otherwise outwardly trying to shed their tarnished image. The film is a unique opportunity to experience one of America's most criticised police forces from the inside, at a time when civil rights movements are waiting outside and are no longer willing to tolerate the long-standing abuse of power from the long arm of the law.
The Devil's Trap (Mitchell Stafiej. Canada). World premiere.
When he was 18, the now 25-year-old Lane was kicked out of the fundamentalist Christian cult that his family is still a member of, and they haven't spoken to him since. 'The Exclusive Brethren' is a powerful, rich and extremely sealed off cult that rejects everything – and by that we mean everything! – except themselves as being satanic. Now, Lane decides to visit them on a road trip through fanaticism's USA and Canada. A dark and nightmarish world of neon crosses, militantly organised sects, deadly alcoholism and drug abuse. And a journey where the outwardly strong and re-socialised Lane confronts the demons of his past with the director Mitchell Stafiej on the passenger seat of his car. But when he finally manages to meet his brother, it is till far from a happy ending. 'The Devil's Trap' is the first film about the notoriously secretive but extensive and extremely well-organised 'Exclusive Brethren', but also tells a frightening and far more universal story about how radical parallel societies can dominate their members. Lane's story about how he as a teenager for the first time saw a film in a cinema is nothing less than a staggering image of the clash between two realities.
Trophy (Shaul Schwarz & Christina Clusiau. US). International premiere.
Africa's endangered species are big business. Heavily armed American tourists on a safari dream of killing a lion, an elephant or one of the other 'big five', which idealistic biologists are trying to protect. But it is an inconvenient truth that reality is incredibly more complex, which the tough 'Trophy' reveals with a unique journalistic overview. And with a sense for telling its story in such a compelling way that you are about to fall of your seat. From the director Shaul Schwarz ('Narco Cultura').


text: For the time being, populist red-green forces seem to have robbed the radical right of its language as well as its voters. On March 1, Norway's far-left Red (Rødt) party polled at 7.6% — its highest ever result. If an election was called today, this could translate to 14 members in the 169-seat parliament, Stortinget, where the party… Continue reading "The Far Left is on the Rise in Norway"

The Court Company's WSF certified squash courts include the best products for transforming your space to a tournament-level squash court. Whether you need a squash court for an athletic club, for your company, or for your residential project, The Court Company can help you throughout the planning and construction process.
The Court Company designs and builds WSF certified squash courts
The Court Company's team members will work with you on every step of the court construction process. We will walk you through the steps of court construction as well as determine the best finishes for the interior of your court while maintaining the WSF certifications.
WSF Squash Court Panels
A court certified by the World Squash Federation (WSF) is 21'0″ wide x 32'0″ long. Even though the court height needs to be a minimum of 18'6″ high, many projects will elect to stop the panels at the play line heights and finish above these areas with drywall. With the exception of any glass in the court, the playing surfaces of the court are made of wood. The finished wood surface provides uniformity for ball rebound and play. Our squash courts are designed for heavy use with pre-finished panels which provide a cost efficient and professional system approved by the WSF. Unlike plaster systems, our panels never chip or crack and never need to be painted.
The 4'0″ x 8'0″ tongue and groove panels are built with a .050″ thick laminate; this is the thickest laminate available for court use. The high density core and surface gives the panel the structural stability needed for squash play. Our panel system is stronger and more durable than other systems. The playing surface of the panel is a white velvet finish used essentially for aesthetics and proper ball reaction. The panels are machined to our exact specifications with tolerances of ±1/32″.
The panels for a WSF certified squash court are 1-1/8″ thick on all walls. Typical squash courts stop the panels at the playing lines at the front and side walls, but if you want the panels to extend up to the ceiling or if you want panels on the ceiling, that is not a problem. Racquet and ball marks can be easily wiped clean with common household cleaners.
Steel Stud Framing & Drywall
Typical court framing consists of 18 or 16 gauge galvanized steel with varying sizes of 4″ to 6″ depending on the location and design of courts. Wood framing is also acceptable as long as the framing is straight and plumb and does not twist or bow. It is recommended to install a layer of drywall or plywood at least behind the front wall panels (ideally at all paneled walls). If the panels are stopping at the play lines, many certified squash courts will install drywall behind the panels from floor to ceiling – not only to help the walls feel more dense, but to also provide a finished surface and visible boundary area above the play lines.

RESIDENTS have called for the resurfacing of the Warwick bypass, saying the constant drone of traffic is ruining their lives.
With suggestions of a flyover at Longbridge island, people living on the Woodloes estate fear the problem can only get worse on the four-lane road just yards from their homes.
More than 100 names have been collected on a petition to be handed to Warwick and Leamington MP James Plaskitt on Friday.
The problems affect Ridgely Close, Hughes Close, Welsh Grove and other roads leading off Hathway Drive.
Melanie Cooknell, who started the petition, said: ?We cannot leave our windows open because of the noise. It is just constant day and night.
?And then in the evenings we get pollution because the traffic is queuing back from here to Longbridge island as there are stationary cars with their engines running.
?We are worried about the fly-over as it may bring even more traffic along this road and make it even worse. James Plaskitt has been working hard for us.?
Residents want more trees to act as a sound barrier and resurfacing of the road. Other sections of the A46, near Kenilworth and Leek Wootton, are now quieter after a new surface was laid.
A Highways Agency spokesman said there are no plans to resurface this stretch of road but there was an ongoing study of the Longbridge island, where the M40, A429 and A46 meet.
He said Longbridge was one of the 10 worst junctions in the Midlands.
A short-term measure is likely to see changes to the sliproads and traffic light sequences.
One longer-term option is for drivers on the A46 to avoid the island altogether and use a new fly-over, meaning Coventry-to-Stratford traffic would not have to slow down at the junction.
