Content is a business asset – and to leverage it, you need the ability to adapt it
When drilled down to the fundamentals, the job of any marketer is a simple one: ensure that customers have the right information at the right time to help them along the journey to purchase.
Companies that are best equipped to provide that information tend to be better at garnering trust, increasing customer loyalty, and boosting sales. So when it comes to sales growth, this information (your content) can mean the difference between success and failure.
92% of marketers say that their company regards content as a business asset. When something is deemed valuable to your business, you want to have more of it. As such, it comes as no surprise that last year, more than half of businesses reported that they intend to increase their content management spend and output.
The practicalities involved in creating multiple, compelling, and revenue-generating campaigns are such that your organization is probably creating more content than ever. The growth of multi-channel marketing is one of the biggest drivers of this: in all likelihood, you are seeking to build a presence across multiple platforms – each of which needs to be 'fed' with a steady stream of fresh content.
Behind every successful brand, there is usually a strong, universally-applicable central brand message. However, for that message to hit home with customers, it may need to be tweaked: hence the need for localized adaptation and other forms of content customization. For those teams within your organization who are responsible for content creation, having to handle content adaptation also effectively means a greater content production burden.
So, what's the best way to handle this? We would suggest that there are two areas to focus on
First off, it involves setting up a central bank of content assets, easily accessible to field marketers.
Secondly, you need tools in place to enable those teams to create specific, locally-adapted marketing materials with ease, while still adhering to brand guidelines.
In this guide, we will show you how to pursue a content adaptation strategy – with a view to leveraging your existing content to maximize sales growth. In it, we cover the following:
- When to use adaptable content
- Are we staying consistent? The potential pitfalls of adapting your content
- Your essential toolkit for adapting content and driving growth
Part 1: Here's when you need adaptable content…
Content adaptation essentially refers to taking a marketing or sales content asset (or multiple assets) and using this as a template or foundation to create customized pieces of work as part of your sales and marketing strategies.
There are some very solid business reasons for taking this approach. These reasons are both customer-focused – concerned with delivering the best possible experience to actual and potential customers; and operational – linked to optimizing your workflow and making the best use of your resources.
If any of the following circumstances are familiar to field marketers within your organization, it's a sign that greater use of adapted content should be weaved into your wider strategy.
You need to manage increasing volumes of content
When a locally-focused campaign gets off the ground, the first hurdle for any field marketer to overcome involves grabbing the attention of the prospect.
Let's say you have sought to establish your presence in a particular location – precisely because you consider it to be ripe for development. Even in the absence of a lot of competitors, it still takes an average of 5-7 brand impressions to gain a foothold of consumer 'mind space'. This is just the start: beyond it, you still need to build trust and cement your brand proposition. There is also a need to create fresh content optimized for specific platforms and channels: something that's especially true if you are following recognized social media best practice – which suggests that you need to post on most social media platforms at least daily in order to keep up follower engagement levels.
If you are doing all of this from scratch instead of taking an adaptation approach, your marketing and design departments can soon become overwhelmed by sheer volume.
You want to boost sales in multiple locations
'Localization' as a marketing strategy is a response to the genuine differences that can exist between geographical regions. Research shows that 80% of marketers consider localization essential for entering new markets – and 71% of the same marketers say that sales increase in their target markets as a result of using this strategy.
Culture, context, priorities, and customer expectations: these can all vary – to a greater or lesser extent – depending on the location of your customers. To reflect this and to maximize the prospects of sales success across a range of markets, you need to optimize your content. Among other things, this regional-specific optimization may involve modifying language, tone, and emphasis of sales copy, imagery, and layout.
As a rule, modified content means having to produce more content – because each location needs its own portfolio of material that is specific to that market. It makes sense to have a central bank of assets that can be altered and optimized for each market. As we will see, it also makes sense if this adaptation process is carried out by marketers in the field.
Research shows that 80% of marketers consider localization essential for entering new markets – and 71% of the same marketers say that sales increase in their target markets as a result of using this strategy.
You want field sales staff to be more proactive in content creation
Let's say that your B2B finance software package incorporates automatic governance report creation. A significant regulatory change is announced in one of your target regions. Reps suddenly find themselves fielding queries on whether the report modelling function covers this change. It does – and your reps are keen to get this message across in all sales emails, banner ads, social posts, and brochures. They want to do this as soon as possible to stay ahead of the competition.
As a field marketer, you try to keep your ear to the ground, most notably through social listening and keyword research, to keep track of what's most relevant to your target audience. However, it is often sales reps in the field who are most in tune with changing customer concerns. It pays to listen to them.
Recent research suggests that just 35% of sales staff think that their marketing department knows what content they need to close deals. Content adaptation can help you close this gap. In particular, if salespeople are able to tweak and adapt content themselves – swiftly and without specialist technical input – it can mean that your content is more closely attuned to the concerns of your customers at all times.
You want to take advantage of lucrative, time-limited, media space offers
Why are the very best billboard, online banner spaces, and partner marketing slots all so expensive? Quite simply, it's because they are most likely to boost the bottom line of whoever manages to secure them.
A lot of planning goes into a typical marketing campaign. And, of course, much of the publication schedule is worked out well in advance: something that's especially true with paid media exposure. That said, a little flexibility can serve you well.
Lucrative slots can – and frequently do – become available at short notice. Paid media opportunities that you previously considered financially out of reach may suddenly present themselves to you at a bargain price. The chance to boost your exposure (and, by extension, drive sales growth) may seem too good to pass up; even if this involves departing slightly from your original plans.
Taking advantage of such opportunities requires the ability to act quickly, as it is unlikely that you had the resources to devote to creating a whole series of extra advertisements "just in case" a slot becomes available when the initial campaign was created. However, if you have a bank of adaptable content at your fingertips it means when an opportunity does present itself, you are able to produce an item tailored to that specific opportunity quickly – and before that opportunity expires.
You want to deploy your design and creative resources to maximize sales growth
Depending on the type of asset in question, there are likely to be multiple individuals and skillsets involved in its creation: graphic designers, copywriters, developers, user experience (UX) specialists, SEO analysts and project managers – to name just a few.
All of these resource categories have at least two things in common: they are focused on adding value to your organization, and they have a finite capacity. To reflect these two realities, the bulk of their time needs to be spent in areas where it has maximum impact – content origination and strategy, not a constant roll-out of small content tweaks for multiple campaigns and markets.
Part 2: Are you staying consistent?
The biggest content adaptation pitfalls you need to avoid
Where brands are presented in a consistent manner, they are three to four times more likely to experience visibility compared to those companies that fail to optimize for consistent messaging. The same research shows how this can directly impact sales growth, indicating that the average revenue increase linked to brand consistency is 23%.
If your central message is subject to frequent change, or if there is a failure to retain the core elements of your brand across all of the channels where your company has a presence, customers are likely to get confused.
This becomes a very real threat in the context of field marketers making adaptations to existing content. Here's why:
Message diversion/dilution
Ideally, your methods of content adaptation should make it possible for field marketers, sales reps, and lots of other individuals from across your organization to use brand assets to create fresh content. However, in attempting to make the message more relevant, there is always a risk that the people adapting the content will divert too far from your core message. You need to have safeguards in place so that your people have leeway to make changes to assets while staying within set parameters.
Use of third parties for content production
Ideally, greater use of content that has been created to be adaptable will speed up the content production process, as non-skilled members of your team will be better equipped to make changes without technical input. This makes it less likely that field marketers will need to engage agencies to produce work solely to clear a production backlog. However, there may still be good reasons for instructing an agency, such as where the task requires technical input that is missing from your design department. For this, you should have clear guidelines in place so that the agency is always able to abide by your brand standards.
With all of this in mind, let's look at the processes and tools to deploy to implement adaptable content, while still ensuring consistency.
The creation of content to drive sales should not be regarded as the sole responsibility of your creative and design teams.
Part 3: Your toolkit for content adaptation, consistency and sales growth
Establish a culture of adapted content
If sales reps believe that an email or banner ad could be improved to meet the changing priorities of customers, then what's stopping them from making those changes themselves? The adaptation of content to drive sales should not be regarded as the sole responsibility of your creative and design teams.
As a field marketer, this has the potential to make the task of adapting content a lot more straightforward. It means you can make changes to content swiftly to meet shifting local priorities without having to wait for feedback from HQ. An additional benefit of this is that the adaptation of content no longer has to be the sole domain of marketers. Notably, the sales reps at local branch level almost certainly know the customers in their specific locations better than anyone else. It makes sense to give them the encouragement to get directly involved in the content adaptation process.
In addition, if a paid media opportunity arises at short notice, this approach means you can respond quickly – before the opportunity expires.
Seek access to a library of core assets
If the materials you adapt are going to be effective at cutting through to your target market, you need the right 'raw materials' to help you adapt them.
From case studies to conference brochures, your core brand assets are the building blocks for all of the content you need to support sales. Key components of your asset library include the following:
- Brand guidelines: This comprises the rulebook to be followed by everyone involved in content production and sign-off. It includes instructions relating to layout, font sizes, language, and tone.
- Key texts and design elements. These are the elements of brand presentation that need to remain in place in all instances. Examples might include straplines, corporate information, and disclaimers.
These assets can change over time. You need an effective way of knowing you have access to the right assets, which brings us to this:
Set up a self-service brand portal
As a field marketer, you and your marketing team, sales staff, agencies, and everyone else involved in the content production and adaptation process need to be able to act with confidence. Specifically, this means being able to get their hands on the right materials, safe in the knowledge they are using the correct versions in the right way.
This is where a self-service content adaptation platform comes in: a central, yet remotely accessible, location for all your brand elements that also has brand compliance control. Your teams can act, safe in the knowledge that HQ remains in control of what is and is not included in the portal, thereby significantly decreasing the likelihood that there could be any off-brand messages in the content process. In other words, they can get on with adapting compelling, locally-relevant content, safe in the knowledge that they are still abiding by the brand rulebook.
Equip your teams for easy, rapid, content adaptation.
Effective local branch management involves continued optimization of the core business activities you are involved with on the ground. Where you have identified tools and processes that have the potential to make these activities more efficient, it is worth flagging these up with HQ.
For field marketing managers, one such area involves the implementation of a 'self-service' approach to content creation. Access to assets is one part of this, as part of the brand portal.
Templating tools are the other part of it. To maximize efficiency when it comes to content creation, look for tools with the following functionality:
Ease of search
Users ought to be able to scan through large volumes of content to quickly identify a template for the piece of content they wish to create.
Quick resizing
Layout issues provide some of the trickiest problems to solve for non-technical staff. The tool should be able to handle this seamlessly for your users.
Edit according to set rules
Users should be able to edit some or all of the copy according to predetermined rules that are set by you. This functionality is especially important for ensuring that key brand standards are adhered to – and that local campaigns do not divert from the central messages you want to get across in your globally applicable campaigns.
Ease of sign-off
Complete content should be either capable of being published directly – or else forwarded through to a manager through a dedicated content management system for sign-off.
A single solution
As we've seen, it's common for organizations to have a footprint across a wide range of content channels. Potentially, this may involve having to invest in templating tools in addition to template creation.
Fortunately, with Brandgility, your company has a powerful templating platform for all of your adaptable marketing materials. This includes web banners, social media, e-commerce, landing pages, digital displays, point of sale and retail displays, spec sheets, and paid media.

Have you ever been interested in the great profits some people are making using dropshipping on Shopify? Is it time to learn more?
Jon Mac is a well-known internet marketer who has established various business courses. A recent one is Store Formula (3) which teaches the method to set up an e-commerce store utilizing dropshipping and Shopify and advertising using paid Facebook Ads.
Jon Mac does seem to be a Legit operator and I will be looking further into the real value of the program he is offering.
Have you ever dreamed of becoming wealthy? So wealthy that money would no longer be a concern? A life of luxury?
It seems impossible, doesn't it? A world away?
What's the real story?
I can tell you that is all possible if you find the right business for you. With the correct business program and plenty of hard work, it is achievable!
Join me… I will analyze Store Formula in depth and conclude as to it's real value and effectiveness. It could be the course to change your life and turn your dreams into reality.
The information you need is only a few scrolls away…
Store Formula 3 by Jon Mac – is it a Scam?
I know what you are thinking… there are so many programs of various quality like this available. How can Store Formula be any different? Perhaps you have already tried and been underwhelmed by a similar course, even felt as if you were scammed?
It would be reasonable to look at what Jon Mac is offering and think – is it a Scam?
I would like you to make your own mind up, but I will give you my input as I study the program further. My initial thoughts are that there are some good online reviews, and the free content offered by Jon Mac looks pretty good, so I don't think it can be called a scam.
Perhaps the bigger issues are, what can I actually use it for, and will I get value for money?
I will be looking at these points and give you my opinion later on…
Review of the Pros and Cons of Store Formula
In order to get a fuller understanding of Store Formula, I will run through the positives and negatives as I see them. First up, the pros. These include:
- Store Formula 3 is constantly evolving. The main thing I liked about the program is that there is more material being added all of the time. Even during the relatively short time I was studying the course, I noticed additions being made quite regularly.
- John Mac offers a free ebook called "Cash Flow for Life: How to Generate an Income Online," which contains plenty of interesting details and gives you a taster for the proper course. This should help you evaluate if the teaching methods he uses will mean Store Formula will be the program for you.
- There is considerable time spent on evaluating different suppliers and a lot of training about finding the right product to market. There is an interesting bonus course included regarding 23 products in various niches which work well. All in all, this is one of the stronger parts of Store Formula.
As with almost everything, a positive is followed with some negatives. The cons include:
- Facebook Ads are not cheap. I found it easy to spend over $1,000 per week on a limited advertising campaign. This needs to be factored into the budget. There are other options such as Instagram advertising discussed, but clearly, Jon Mac recommends Facebook Ads.
- The price for the course can be an issue at $997, plus there are various other expenses to consider. This can be hard to find for anyone, especially if you are just starting out with your business. If this is a concern for you, look for special promotions and payment terms offered online. Over time I have seen some decent deals for this.
- A lot of people say that much of the material can be found for free online. This is a regular complaint about dropshipping courses, and it is indeed true that there is a lot of free information out there if you search through message boards and YouTube, but I believe this to be a minor concern as this is a pretty well put together course with plenty of information. If I could suggest an improvement to Store Formula 3, I would say it doesn't feel "complete" and there are several complaints online about missing topics. Perhaps more time should be spent correcting this.
- Store Formula strongly encourages you to use and promote Adsector, for which they are obviously an affiliate marketer. This felt a bit wrong to me, as they were basically charging me to sell their product on their behalf.
- Facebook ads have issues which are underplayed by Store Formula 3. A lot of maintaining and updating is required and is a more or less constant process during the formative months of your business. So the impression given of this business method, creating an opportunity to sit back and wait for a nice passive income is false. You will need to dedicate a lot of time and effort to get the full benefit of this program.
I cannot emphasize this enough…
It takes a lot of hard work to build a profitable dropshipping business! It is no "get rich quick" scheme and there are no shortcuts…
If you want to get full value from Jon Mac's advice, make sure you are ready to commit sufficient time…
Please keep reading… I am ready to render my final verdict.
Conclusion about this eCom course!
I was keen to get started with studying Store Formula as I was convinced there are still great profits to be made using the dropshipping through Shopify business model. However, as I worked my way through the program I began to grow disillusioned.
There are several weaknesses which I didn't think should exist in a program at this price level. For example, Facebook Ads are a far more time-consuming process than is portrayed here. The course doesn't feel complete, and the section on dealing with problem suppliers is quite weak in my opinion. These and several other areas are in need of improvement.
There were things to like here though, and I did appreciate that Jon Mac regularly adds more information, so that the course is still developing.
Here's the deal…
I think there is too much content which could be found for free online and too much lacking for a course which cost me the best part of $1,000.
Bottom line?
Even though there are some likable things about Jon Mac, I cannot recommend Store Formula 3. There are better dropshipping courses for a more competitive price out there. If you are interested to set up a Shopify store and build a good profitable business I suggest you take a look at other business programs.

A CurtainUp Review
Tarzan, the Musical
By Elyse Sommer
The second round of reviews, including this one, are not going to declare this Disneyfied Edward Rice Burroughs story a work of art. And so, Tarzan, will have to survive and prosper courtesy of that sizeable universe of people who never read reviews and for whom the Disney imprint evokes expectations for a family friendly story in which good triumphs over evil. Those expectations are boosted by staging pizzazz that features lots of high flying jungle creatures as well as a Phil Collins score that includes an arrow to the heart ballad ("You'll Be in My Heart") that has already nabbed an Oscar.
Given the blatant borrowing from Julie Taymor's The Lion King (not to mention a raft of popular Disney character and thematic twists), this less classy looking show is not likely to generate quite the must-see word of mouth that has kept that more imaginatively designed and directed Lion King running for years. Still, Tarzan has plenty to make your mouth pop open and some segments are quite spectacular.
The opening sequence is especially impressive. The blue scrim curtain with its intriguing moving images of the African continent, a large sailing vessel and the ship's handwritten log is transformed into a raging sea. This exciting sea and soundscape cleverly takes us inside the ship as a man, woman and baby desperately struggle against the raging tide and are tossed up on the beach. But while the little family survives the storm, the parents fall victim to a predatory panther (such dark set-ups are not unusual in the Disney world). The human family's tragedy has its counterpart in a jungle couple in grief over the loss of their baby -- Kala (sympathetically portrayed by Disney musical veteran Merle Dandridge) and her Gorilla mate Kerchak (Shuler Hensley, capturing ape behavior better than anyone on stage and with the magnificent bass voice won him a Tony for Oklahoma as fine as ever).
From this breathtaking opening, the tragedy takes a more hopeful turn -- but, alas, also becomes more sappily sentimental, without the adventure and more fully realized characterizations of the Burroughs' stories. The bereaved Kala discovers the crying infant, names him Tarzan (for white-skinned) and becomes his devoted mother. Before long, Kerchak, ever alert to danger posed by outsiders (which, for him, includes Tarzan), forces Kala to raise choose between him and the child. It's a no brainer that she opts for the child even if it means living apart from the ape community.
With the various jungle inhabitants flying all over the stage courtesy of Pinchon Baldinu's Cirque de Soleil style aerial feats, there's enough eye candy to keep you from becoming bored with David Henry Hwang's now more politically correct, super-condensed but banal book and Phil Collins non-theatrical, unmemorable and constantly off-stage enhanced music. While Hwang's sanitizing of the apes' and the ape-raised Tarzan's delight in hunting and killing is understandable, the often dopey dialogue does little to free these characters from cartoon molds.
Hwang's book zooms through young Tarzan's (Daniel Manche at the performance I attended) childhood faster than you can say "Oo-oo-ee-eh-ou," (Ape-speak for "Hello") -- which brings grown up Tarzan (former American Idol contestant, Josh Strickland making his Broadway debut) swinging from the vines on stage. He's learned "pendulation" from his jive-talking ape pal, Terk (an amusing Chester Gregory II) and is ready for the subsidiary plot: falling in love with visiting flora and fauna lover Jane Porter (Jenn Gambatese, a charming enough cross between Mary Poppins and Beauty and the Beast's Belle) and her animal rights minded dad (Tim Jerome, a lovable version of Frank Morgan's Wizard), and eventually having to choose between civilized life and his jungle family. It's another no brainer outcome.
Crowley's direction is overly propulsive and for all his experience as a Disney show designer, neither his green fringe framed jungle set or his ape costumes are particularly attractive. Meryl Tankard's choreography is excessively frantic and the diddling with harnesses tends to rob the aerial wizardry of its magic. That said, there are some other striking choreographic and scenic highlights: The pulsating "Son of Man" number accompanying Strickland's vine swining entrance and the very elaborate fantasia accompanying Jane's "Waiting for This Moment." You're in no danger of leaving the Richard Rodgers Theatre with one of Collins' tunes stuck in your ears, but you are likely to remember that scene's exquisite flying moth.
To support the Disney Organization's gamble that there is a built-in audience for anything Tarzan, a Google search will return some 3,490,000 English pages. This includes the official Tarzan organization, a Tarzan movie guide, a fan site for the Disney Tarzan movie, not to mention a number of Tarzan novels to download and read from Project Gutenberg. Here's some trivia my Googling unearthed:
The most famous Tarzan and Jane were Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan who starred in six of more than thirty 1960s Tarzan movies: Tarzan the Ape Man (1932), Tarzan and His Mate (1934), Tarzan Escapes(1936), Tarzan Finds a Son (1939), Tarzan's Secret Treasure (1941) and Tarzan's New York Adventure.(1942)
The MGM moguls hopes for Johnny Weissmuller as Tarzan almost collapsed because of his contract as a spokesperson for BVD underwear and swimming trunks. The manufacturer didn't like the idea of their spokesman appearing on screen wearing a loincloth. While MGM refused to have Tarzan wear a product instead, a compromise was reached: BVD was allowed to run ads featuring contract players like Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford and Jean Harlow in BVD swimsuits.
Other movie Tarzans included Lex Barker, Gordon Scott, Mike Henry and Jock Mahoney.
Producedwell before the age of political correctness, the Tarzan movies reflected racial attitudes that would today be considered offensive. That said, the white man didn't come off all that well either.
If you want to test your friends' trivia savvy, ask them how would you connect Woody Allen to Tarzan. The answer: Maureen O'Sullivan was the mother of Allen's former wife Mia Farrow.
The much quoted "Me Tarzan, you Jane" is actually one of the most widely circulated misquotes. It was never used --not in the book or any of the films. Though there's a scene in the current musical that comes close to that famous get acquainted phrase.
Easy-on-the budget super gift for yourself and your musical loving friends. Tons of gorgeous pictures.

Teacher To Do changes requested (Flewelling)Follow
Jerome Flewelling has been playing around with the suggestion to use the save draft option until he has all of a particular assignment graded.
He notes:
Once I've "saved" them, they still show up on my To-Do list, but there isn't any indicator to say that I've already looked at them.
To clarify, the pin shows up next to the person until I refresh the list. Then the pin and grade go away.
I'd like to suggest the following. #2 would be my preference. [See the suggestions in the picture.]
Thanks for thinking about ways to help improve the workflow for teachers.

Flew has been playing around with other options trying to find a way to remove graded but not released items from his to-do list. Does anyone know of a work-around that exist or that anyone else is using?

I start mixing soups and salads a lot. I have cravings for fresh vegetables, but then it will be so cold, I'll feel like soup again. On a salad-craving day, I … Read More »

£2361 per person
The average price of hotels and apartments in Kodiak varies according to the time of year. To help you plan when to go, we've looked at the hotels available on our site, then worked out the average price per night for the quietest and the busiest months.
Based on a typical 1 week holiday - adding together the cost of flights and accommodation - November is the cheapest month to go to Kodiak.
Our day in Kodiak was more fun than expected. We were here on a cruise ship & decided to spend our time in the town (a pleasant one mile walk from our ship, even though a shuttle from the ship was offered). The locals are friendly, the air is fresh & there are enough attractions, eateries & shops within the town to keep you occupied.There are many outdoor/nature activities available in the area including hiking, fishing & biking.
If you love to fish this is the place to go

text: The House of Charity, by Andre F. Degas, is a hyper-realistic, racially and sexually charged drama set in a fast-paced working environment, bursting with expressionistic scenic media. The play opens with the residents of the institution bickering, throwing racist and homophobic slurs around, and making attempts to undermine each other at every turn. Political strategies play out as some grapple desperately for power, while others just want an hour off so they can see their kids. Issues of responsibility and loyalty arise as a group of men attempt to run a professional kitchen to feed a crowd of hundreds. Will they come together and cast aside their differences for the sake of the less fortunate? The play addresses serious issues about addiction and recovery. It is dedicated to the men and women who are healing their lives with faith, service, and love.

Navigating the Road in a Wheelchair
He said:
Sidewalks are a pain, literally. When they exist, they're bumpy and are rarely well kept. More often than not, though, if someone in a wheelchair lives in rural areas or even suburbia, sidewalks, never mind curb cuts, simply don't exist.
I'm not one to sit at home on pleasant days. I hear the road beckon. Yes, at times, I think of my wheelchair like others of their Harley's, feeling the need for speed and the wind in my hair.
At other times, I take a more practical view: these wheels are my legs to get me from here to there. Sometimes this means taking my wheelchair where others wouldn't dare set foot.

Now, I must say, the recent addition of bike lanes in some areas have made my hazardous driving somewhat less tenuous, at least to me, but they aren't everywhere yet. And, I have become quite adept at navigating the shoulders of busy streets to get to my intended destination.
Note: this is not for the faint hearted. Feeling the back draft of an 18-wheeler as it passes by three feet from you is enough to make anyone's heart rate rise. Yet, staying focused, aware, and present on my intended course keeps me on track.
For me, this mentality started early in life. Learning to cross the street independently at age four as my mother watched with great self-restraint gave me the building blocks to trust myself and my capacity to overcome challenge, despite perceived limitations.
Years later, I still see that same persistence and determination impacting my life from navigating torrential downpours in order to get to my first job interview to transforming entire organizations as they let go of ingrained patterns of limiting thought.
She said:
I can't count how many times I have been waiting for my husband to come home, especially when he is rolling in his motor wheelchair in poor weather.
I am used to friends calling to tell me they saw Barton zipping across a busy road, stunned that Barton would take the bus on his own or walk across town to attend a meeting.
I have been there, on the phone with an accessible taxi driver questioning why they didn't pick Barton up where they were supposed to, and it's now 11pm at night and he's waiting on the side of the road.
Or hearing about Barton's off-road adventures in a nonchalant voice as if it was a part of a normal day. While I control my own impulse to be an overbearing caregiver waving my finger in Barton's face about being more careful, I understand the importance of my husband navigating the road on his own.
While Barton has an independent streak that cannot be contained, I must let go, seeing Barton for who he is, a man who has trained in martial arts, meditation, and teaches community awareness and self-defense for people with disabilities.
And, in the work we do speaking to other families and people impacted by disability, I see how fear plays such an integral role in limiting the independence for people with disabilities, whether they are on the road or in other areas of life.
It is a cultural inclination to want people to be safe, and particularly for those who use adaptive equipment. Yet, in wanting to protect them, we have inadvertently limited the world around them. We are faced with a world of "you can't," and people with disabilities succumb to this belief.
Suddenly, stepping outside is momentous obstacle.
I know that I cannot protect Barton from the elements on the road or the challenges in life. It is more advantageous to learn how to move through these hardships.
Yes, we need more curb cuts, smoother sidewalks, accessible parking spaces, and wider bike lanes. We also need a cultural shift.
One where we see people with disabilities for who they are, people navigating the world in their own brilliance.

mbored 10/16/2014 4:16:55 PM@KieranH seems like natural steps in the progression of these devices. My phone is really now a second computer. And the games in the app store would be great to play on TV which also breaks them into the console market.

Interstate Land Sales Full Disclosure Act: CFPB Enforcement Activity, Condo Exemption, Litigation Updates
Joseph E. Lubinski
The end of the Great Recession did not bring an end to Interstate Land Sales Full Disclosure Act (ILSA) enforcement issues. In May 2015, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) entered into a consent order regarding a development in Hawk's Bluff, Tennessee ordering the "developer" to repair roads in the subdivision, a marked expansion of the application of ILSA to developments. This followed the 2013 CFPB enforcement action against 3D Resorts-Bluegrass, LLC alleging material misrepresentations in marketing materials and failure to comply with ILSA registration.
This CLE webinar will provide real estate counsel with a review of the latest developments in the enforcement of ILSA. The panel will discuss how the CFPB and courts are addressing ILSA, the ILSA amendment providing a partial exemption for the sale of condo units, and best practices to ensure compliance.

text: This icon should be "brain all melty" instead of breaky. More than a week into December, it's 60 degrees outside, so with the boilers running instead of the chillers it feels like 95 or so in here! Our head engineer told me once that it takes 48 hours or more to switch the system completely from heat to chill or vice-versa. And since we've been around or below freezing the past few weeks, and today's rain is predicted to shift into sleet & snow tomorrow night, we're stuck being miserable. Hard to think, air feels thick, sinuses are screaming from the heat and my joints are screaming from the coming barometric changes.

Sleek CRISPR systems get almost all the attention. They rely on single-protein nucleases instead of multiunit effectors, which are, presumably, too unwieldy for gene engineering applications. Yet CRISPR jumbles have been given a tumble by scientists at Duke University. Led by Charles Gersbach, PhD, the Rooney Family associate professor of biomedical engineering and Adrian Oliver, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow, these scientists used a multiunit effector system to turn target genes on and off in human cells.
Specifically, the scientists used a class 1 CRISPR-Cas system called Cascade (CRISPR-associated complex for antiviral defense). And as if it wasn't clunky enough already, the scientists tacked on a couple of extras—activation and repression domains. The system, however, omitted the Cas enzyme that would have ordinarily been present… Continue reading.
To advance the engineering of biology at the molecular and cellular levels, the National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded $16 million for research to characterize the regulation of gene activity and expression, and to create strategies to modify those processes without altering the DNA sequence.
Chromatin — a combination of DNA, RNA and proteins within a cell's nucleus — can be modified by attaching additional molecules. This can cause altered gene expression without actually changing the cell's DNA. These so-called epigenetic changes can alter an organism's traits, or phenotype, and may even be passed to offspring.
The NSF EFRI Chromatin and Epigenetic Engineering (CEE) investment will support potentially transformative research by eight interdisciplinary teams:
WASHINGTON, D.C.— The American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) has announced the pending induction of Charles Alan Gersbach, Ph.D., Rooney Family Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Duke University, to its College of Fellows. Dr. Gersbach was nominated, reviewed, and elected by peers and members of the College of Fellows For outstanding contributions to the fields of biomolecular and genome engineering, synthetic biology, gene therapy, and genomics and epigenomics..

Bristol City and Sheffield United have both had very good seasons but they will be disappointed to fall just short of the playoff spots.There is still an incentive in the game for City though. They could end the season in the 7th place with a win while Sheffield United could finish as high as 8th.
Both teams are quite strong and have scored a lot of goals in the league, setting the tone for an intense clash.
Probable Bristol City XI
Manager: Lee Johnson
Formation: 4-4-2
Frank Fielding (GK)
Fielding had an incredible game last time out against Nottingham Forest and managed to draw his team the game by saving a penalty. Should find his name in the starting XI against United.
Korey Smith (RB)
The 27-year-old right back has been solid for City. Although he doesn't get forward much, he always looks good defensively.
Aden Flint (CB)
Flint has been immense for the Robins this season for and has even chipped in with seven goals from his defensive position. He is a quality centre-back and is expected to start this game.
Callum O'Dowda (CB)
The centre-back hasn't played many games for Bristol City this term but he has done well in the few chances that he received.
Lloyd Kelly (LB)
The young left-back has come into the team recently and done really well for the Robins. He has grabbed a goal and an assist in six starts, showing he is not scared of getting forward down the left-hand side.
Jamie Paterson (RM)
The right-winger has been in decent form this year for the Robins, working hard defensively while also contributing to the attack.
Marlon Pack (CM)
The 27-year-old has been top-quality in the middle for Bristol this season and has pitched in both defensively and offensively. He also has a great pass-completion rate.
Liam Walsh (CM)
The 20-year-old has not played much this season but he boasts of immense potential and is a good tackler of the ball.
Joe Bryan (LM)
Bryan has enjoyed a good season for Bristol and has done well on the left-hand side. He has 4 goals and 3 assists to his name and he does not shy away from defensive contributions.
Bobby Reid (ST)
Reid has had an absolutely incredible season for Bristol City and has been excellent in attack. Having scored 19 goals so far, he is really pushing to be the top-scorer in the league.
Famara Diedhiou (ST)
Diedhiou has shown glimpses of quality this season and has scored 13 goals for his team. He is powerful, fast and will be useful against Sheffield United.

For those that weren't here last time, KTAN is essentially players vs staff on one of our servers for an hour or two, this time it's Jailbreak. It will consist of staff on CT and players on T in a laid back event with the chance of winning some prizes. The winners are decided by the player with the highest score for each map. The player with the highest combined score at the end of KTAN will receive 1 month of global VIP. The other 2/3 people who are top of each map will also receive the discord role of KTAN winner until the next KTAN, along with 1 month JB VIP. Please vote in the poll for the time which is best for you, we will be using the most popular option. We are also looking for 3 maps to play for KTAN, what are your suggestions?
