Mortuary Science Associate's Degree
The program teaches students the ethical and legal issues of handling bodies and communicating with families. Online students learn the responsibilities that funeral service workers have to the communities in which they work, and the requirements for abiding by state and local funeral regulations.
Students can earn an Associate in Applied Science in Mortuary Science through a hybrid of online classes and on-campus lab work. Most classes can be completed via the Internet or through video conferencing. Some programs require that embalming and anatomy be taken on-campus in order to utilize the labs available to fully on-campus students. The online mortuary science associate's degree can be completed in three years.
Course Topics
The online program requires completion of core courses including accounting, business law, psychology and math. Online mortuary science students take chemistry courses related to the field of funeral service.
Students study the body's major systems, especially the circulatory and muscular systems. Basic terminology and overview of cells and organs are covered in this course. Lab work includes dissection and cadaver experience. This course requires on-campus attendance.
Mortuary Management
The online mortuary management course addresses the basic requirements of setting up and operating a funeral home. Through this course, students learn basic office management skills, understand how to select a location and personnel for a funeral home and review required documentation for disposal of human remains. Additional topics include survivor benefits, funeral terminology and types of funerals.
This hands-on course teaches fundamental embalming procedures and techniques. Students learn to position bodies, pose facial features and raise veins. The course examines embalming chemicals, disinfection, blood drainage and fluid injection. The technical nature of this course requires on-campus lab work.
Laws and Ethics
The laws and ethics course analyzes the rights and responsibilities of funeral service employees. Topics include the body's legal status, cemetery law and wills. Students review estate administration, disposal rights and compliance with regulatory agencies.
Restorative Art
Students learn about anatomical modeling, use of cosmetics and techniques of restorative art. The course covers bone structure, facial muscles and color. Additional topics include wax treatments and mouth and eye modeling.
Career Information
Online students pursuing this associate's degree gain the technical experience and required skills to work in funeral homes, as funeral home directors or embalmers.
According to the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA), requirements for pursuing a career in the field of mortuary science include an associate's degree in mortuary science, a 1-year internship and completion of state and national exams (www.nfda.org). The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projected that the number of funeral service occupations will increase by 5% during the period of 2014-2024 (www.bls.gov). The median salary for all funeral service careers as of 2015 was $53,390, the BLS reported, while morticians, undertakers and funeral directors earned a median salary of $48,490.
Continuing Education and Licensure
All states require that funeral directors hold a license. Requirements vary, but most states say applicants must be at least 21 years old and graduate from a 2-year program approved by the American Board of Funeral Service Education. An apprenticeship of 1 to 3 years is usually called for, too. Applicants must pass a competency exam and maintain their licenses through continuing education courses.
Students interested in advanced education can pursue a bachelor's degree in funeral home management. Students must complete national and state exams prior to completing their associate's degree. After graduation, students complete a 1-year internship before seeking regular employment at a funeral home. Continuing education in mortuary science is available for degree holders through the NFDA.
Online mortuary science associate's degree programs may require students to complete lab work on-campus to learn about anatomy and embalming. Depending on your specific mortuary science career, a license, post-graduate internship, apprenticeship or continuing education may be required.

HCG Diet Inspiration- Motivate Yourself to Lose Weight
Posted by HCG Australia Wide on 4th May 2015
Inspiration can be hard to come by. Actions without inspiration are usually half- hearted. Especially when it comes to undertaking a difficult task such as weight loss, making sure that you gain some inspiration to lose weight is very important. The weight loss industry is one of the biggest industries in the world. There are millions of websites and companies that claim to offer unbelievable "before and after" results if you choose their products. Most people know that they are simply marketing gimmicks.
However, the HCG diet has been proven to work. The diet meets scientific requirements too: you are restricted to a mere 500 calories a day, which helps you lose weight since your intake is less than the calories you burn. The diet also requires you to follow the hcg diet program along with the support drops. However, to get inspiration for such a gruelling diet plan, here are a few things that you can do:
Read Success Stories
The HCG diet has prompted many people to write about their experiences. A large majority of these are positive ones. Read about what others have to say about this diet and read the positive effects that they felt afterwards. Almost everybody says that following the diet plan was worth it, because their body went through a drastically positive effect. These experiences will inspire you and help you go through the diet plan as well.
So ask yourself do you have excess fat that you want to lose? loads of people have achieved their weight loss goals by following the HCG Diet using HCG support drops. The HCG Diet was discovered and created by Dr. Simeons over 50 years ago and it has been used as a safe weight loss remedy ever since!
You can talk to a Dietician
A dietician can help you get a lot of inspiration. Most dieticians work closely with people who take up different diet plans. If you are planning to follow the HCG diet program, talk to them and ask them to tell you about the positives. This will help you visualize the changes in your body at the end of the plan and keep you motivated.

Images of Samsung's new flagship phones, the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, have surfaced.
The Galaxy S7 image comes from Vietnamese website reviewdao.vn, which claims to have a "hands on" with the phone. The S7 Edge image, XDA Developers reports, comes via Chinese microblogging site Weibo.
The Vietnamese source claims the Galaxy S7 will have two processor variants—Exynos 8890 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 820. The Snapdragon is said to be sold to American and Chinese markets, and likely the "better performer of the two," though CPU and GPU performance for the Exynos S7 "will be better by 15%." XDA notes judgement should be withheld on this information as of now, for mistranslation may be an issue.
The battery life is said to be "on par" with the Note 5, with quick-charging that'll go from 0-80 percent in 30 minutes.
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge via XDA Developers
There is less information regarding the Galaxy S7 Edge, though the photo does show off the device's impressive AnTuTu score—a rating given by a third-party, "comprehensive Android Benchmarking application."
Samsung will reportedly announce the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge in late February, before the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.

No doubt that ElMoto is cost efficient. It will cost you less than $1.00 for a battery charge letting you ride this electric bike for about 40 miles (65 km). Powered by a 2 KW engine (at what stage are you qualified as a motorcycle?), of course it will please those looking for a clear conscience and protecting the environment…when riding among city polluting SUV's. It is the work of 2 German engineers who are now looking for capital to market it internationally. ElMoto.

This would be helpful...even better would be to be able to upload a video to the Bitrix drive and have it embed in the wiki.

In addition to a proper voice-mailbox for telephony (like an area on the screen for voicemail inbox) -
When a missed call, or call history is displayed in the message window, it only gives the digits of the number,it should give the name of the contact record and a link to to their record.
You should be able to listen to the message right out of the call log and even select follow up actions if relevant (like creating a follow up task).
01/30/2015 03:12:06
1. An overhaul to the Lead conversion process including. Really important:
[*]the ability to convert custom fields (no matter the field type) from Lead to Deals, Companies and Contacts.
[*]The opportunity to enter more company information in the lead record. For example, we are accustomed to being able to enter Company data such as industry and employee numbers at the lead stage. We have custom fields for this in the lead records, but then have to manually re-enter the data when its time to convert to company.
[*]The ability for business processes to trigger conversions (not just create new records) and/or the ability for the new CRM record to automatically associate properly with other existing CRM records. For example, when we use a business process to make a new deal, we have to manually assign the appropriate Company and Contact after the deal is made.
[*]The ability for business processes to translate information from all types of fields to matching fields. For example, when creating a new deal from a lead record, list fields are able to populate corresponding text fields in the new deal, but are not able to trigger other list fields, even when the list options are identical.
[*]The ability to convert Events from Leads to Deals.
[/LIST]2. Communications:
[*]Screen sharing
[*]More people allowed to conference call
[*]A proper voice-mailbox with notifications for Telephony.
3. Enhanced cloud versions:
[*]idea management
[*]meeting planning
[*]learning modules
[/LIST]4. More intuitive design of wiki sections. In particular, the index page should be able to allow better access to the contents of the wiki.
5. In general, better documentation and training. The platform is powerful and complex to learn, but the documentation and training is often lacking and/or confusing. Many times I've found myself unable to find clear answers to some things even after looking through the videos, the course, blog posts and forum posts. Not only is all of that information scattered about, its sometimes out of date, and is somewhat incomplete even after you piece it all together. In particular, the resources for learning business proceses is very, very lacking. There simple isn't information available (that I've found) that covers all aspects of building processes. Also, while tech support is prompt and accurate in their responses, it often feels like the answers given are slightly less than a thorough explanation and are clearly written by someone who has English as a second language...not that that is bad (I love russians!), just that all of these things together make for a tedious and sometimes frustrating experience for someone new to the platform. I'd suspect a thorough overhaul of your support materials, with non-technical english speaking people in mind as the audience, could cause bitrix to completely explode in the states. Bitrix has a lot to offer, but the barrier of entry is tough for newbies.
6. The ability to trigger list views by selecting a filter (I know you can trigger filters when you select a list view, but its easier to hit a filter button than it is to switch list views).
thanks for considering.
01/15/2015 17:36:50
Hi Yana,
Thanks for your reply.
Thats too bad. Without this ability, bitrix is useless to us. I'd like to vote for making this an urgent priority. While searching your forums, I've seen feature requests for this dating back for years. I feel confident you have lost a great deal of business over the years without this very basic functionality. Even if it has not been not been a highly requested feature, you cannot account for the amount of customers that moved away from bitrix as soon as they read threads like this one. Those types of customers would not have even bothered to request the feature because they ruled bitrix out from the start.
Furthermore, I was told by helpdesk that it was at least possible to program a business process to accomplish this. However, after creating such a process I discovered that string fields will work, but there seems to be a bug related to yes/no a, list and number fields converting. After having invested over a month of time, energy and money investing in Bitrix, hitting this brick wall is frustrating. I hope a clear commitment for a solution is coming very soon.
10/14/2014 10:24:56
Thanks for your reply, Yana.
I'm either not understanding something or my questions aren't clear. My understanding is that Bitrix/Yandex allows for a "free email server" and the ability to "use your own domain". If thats true, how does one migrate from an existing email server situation - not import, but migrate? In other words, we aren't needing to create NEW email accounts that use our domain, nor are we needing to import, we are needing to migrate existing email accounts from our current email server to a new email server...uproot and move the whole thing.
Let me illustrate: Right now, our email hosting is bundled with our domain hosting with another company. But we are moving our domain hosting to a new company. The problem is, our new website hosting does not do email hosting, so we need to find a new email hosting solution (like google apps or zoho email hosting). Since we will be losing our email hosting altogether, the email importer isn't the solution we need (there wouldn't be anything to import from) and creating new email addresses is not what we need...the email addresses already exist, and we need to move them to a new email hosting/server situation.
In summary:
My email addresses like "email@example.com" are currently hosted by another email hosting plan.
That email hosting plan is getting canceled soon.
So, can I MOVE my addresses like "email@example.com" to be hosted on the bitrix/yandex server instead?
Does that make sense?
thanks for your help.

I've installed bitrix24 desktop for mac, but it doesn't do anything when open - no window, nothing. Also, many menu items are greyed out.
Also, when clicking on the actions lists for documents in the web interface, there is no option for "business processes".
Am I missing something?
10/09/2014 20:50:03
A few questions about email integration:
1) When prompted to set up email, there is a window that says something like "free email hosting". Does that mean one can use cloud based bitrix as their email hosting solution? As in emails that use our companies domain? I realize there is an option to link our webmail, but my question is whether or not bitrix cloud can BE the webmail hosting solution.
2) I created an @bitrix24.com email for myself to try it out. Now, I can't find a way to turn it off to see what the other options might behave like (gmail, our current webmail, etc). 3)(by the way, the return key just quit functioning when composing this post) When trying out the yandex address above, it does not seem that there is any integration between email and things like tasks, workgroups etc. Am I missing something? is there not a way to take an email and turn it inot a task, or associate it with a project/workgroup, move attachments into the company drive, etc?

Jabra Storm Bluetooth Headset - It started nice but ended with black skies
The Jabra Storm looks good, it's lightweight, comfortable and the set up was a breeze. Only after using it for a few hours did I realise that the reason for these pros were simple. It was lightweight because of it's technical inferiority to better headsets. It's comfortable until you try to do anything that results in perspiration. Finally, there are no features to setup. Its not the worst headset and some people love it. I'm just not one of them.
The Top Questions for the Jabra Storm:
Is the Jabra Storm much larger than the Jabra Stealth?
The Jabra Storm is lighter than the Stealth, with the Storm weighing 1.6 ounces and the Stealth at 2.7. Both are incredibly lightweight but we find the Stealth can fit into the ear comfortably without the ear hook which means it takes up less space on the side of your head. In terms of mic length they are roughly the same, with the Storm being looser as it is hooked to the ear rather than fitted within.
How good is this at wind cancellation ?
The Jabra Storm does come with a foam mic cover which helps wind reduction. This doesn't help much for the person you're speaking with though as in high noise environments we found our voice would often end up being transmitted either spotty or as if we were really far away from the microphone. It happens with all Bluetooth headsets but it seemed permanent with the Storm and it became a quick problem for those we were in conversations with.
Is this headset worn in or out of the ear?
It is most definitely on the ear. Sometimes an ear hook can be problematic for those who wear glasses. That's not the case with the Jabra Storm, it's a nice loose fit so those who wear glasses won't have any trouble with the comfort. The only negative is that when you perspire the fitting gets looser until you are constantly re-positioning, this was the only time when wearing glasses and this headset became a discomfort.
Does it work on both ears or only the right ear?
You can wear the Storm on either ear, you can easily rotate the earbud.
Where can I find an official video for this headset?
Is this Jabra Storm Bluetooth Headset on sale at Amazon.com?
Right now you can buy the Jabra Storm on Amazon.
Can I have simultaneous connections to two devices
Yes you can. You can easily pair the device via Bluetooth, but will only receive audio via one device at a time. So if you want background music via a stereo and an audiobook via your iPhone then its not going to happen via this headset.
Does It have a mute button?
To mute audio all you need to do is tap both the up and down volume buttons on the headset simultaneously. You have to use volume up to cancel the muting.
When listening to audio can you pause or resume directly from the headset?
There is no direct control over the playing of music on the headset. If you are listening to audio via your smartphone and get a call the headset will prioritise the call so that any playback is muted until the call is over.
Will this give me the name of whoever is calling?
We setup contact lists via the app but was unable to get an announcement of the caller. In the documentation it does say caller ID is supported so we're not sure if that is a false claim (like the battery life or our error). In our experience whenever you receive a call you only get a voice asking you "Incoming call, say yes to answer or no to decline". Alternatively you can press the answer call button. We were ale to access Siri and Google Now which enabled us to use the smartphones voice commands however.
Does this Bluetooth headset support talk to text?
This is more a question of whether your smartphone supports talk to text, rather than the headset. If your smartphone supports it you can dictate to text via this headset. We tried it and it worked as well as any other Bluetooth headset.
Can it read texts and emails?
Like with talk to text, if your smartphone supports text to voice via apps then you can trigger those via Siri or Google Now and hear any messages via the headset.
Where can I find an unboxing video for the Jabra Storm?
Does this come with a charger?
There was no wall charger included in our retail box. We did receive a mirco-USB to USB cable which connects the headset to any existing USB wall charger you may have or computing device. In recent times we've found a few products not include the actual wall charger so this isn't something new done by Jabra and is probably just becoming the norm.
How would I know when my Jabra Storm is fully charged?
When charging a small red light is shown. This red light goes off when the device is fully charged.
How long does the battery actually last?
This is one of the more misleading things Jabra say about their Storm headset. In the marketing the device is meant to last for 9 hours of talk time but in our experience it needed a charge in half that time. Plus if you plan on using it for music get ready for even less charge life.
How is this headset with glasses?
The Jabra Storm is fine for glasses. The ear hoop doesn't make it uncomfortable and for the most part there is absolutely no issues. It's only when you sweat for any reason. Whether it be a hot day or you're working out this device moves about heavily the more you sweat, it's at this point you will find the constant re-positioning and glasses movement become a constant annoyance.
What do Jabra say about their Bluetooth Headset?
- Small, discreet design incorporating microPOWER technology.
- Ultimate Comfort Eargel for a secure fit
- Wind Noise Blackout and HD Voice for crystal clear sound at both ends of phone calls
- Easy pairing to smartphones and other devices with NFC, as well as Multiuse to pair to 2 devices at the same time
- 9 hours of talk time and an energy-saving PowerNap function
Where can I find a video review of the Jabra Storm?
What are the main Pros and Cons of the Jabra Storm?
- It has a sleek over the ear design.
- Its lightweight and comfortable with glasses.
- It is very easy to set up.
- The volume on incoming sound is good.
- Not the best at noise reduction.
- No caller ID, even after setting up my contact list.
- The battery life isn't anywhere near what is advertised.
- If you get sweaty expect a lot of movement.

Here's Trump:
WASHINGTON, June 4 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump on Sunday called the London attacks an "evil slaughter" and said the United States would do everything it could in its power to assist the United Kingdom to bring those responsible to justice.
"This bloodshed must end. This bloodshed will end," Trump said in brief remarks after a gala event at Ford's Theater in Washington.
Here's Obama, a couple years ago:
Washington (CNN)President Barack Obama on Friday condemned the Paris terror attacks, calling them an "outrageous attempt to terrorize innocent civilians" and pledging the U.S. government's assistance to France.
"This is an attack on all of humanity and the universal values we share," Obama said in a statement delivered in the White House Briefing Room.
Now here's Chris Floyd, spelling out what should be obvious to both of them, and indeed to all of us, but that precious few will ever acknowledge even as our cities are smoldering and smothered under full military lockdown:
In this century alone, the US and UK have helped destroy two largely secular, multicultural regimes that had stood as bulwarks against the kind of Islamic extremism peddled by our allies, Saudi Arabia: Iraq and Libya. A third such country, Syria, has been the target of an ongoing regime change war in which the West and Saudis are openly backing al Qaeda allies and other extremists. This bipartisan policy of fostering extremism for geopolitical ends was also used in Afghanistan, where a thoroughly secular regime was overthrown by Islamic extremists armed, paid and organized by the US, UK, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.

DIY Body Balm | The Wild Mix
Monday, 17 July 2017
This is something I was really looking forward to trying, a homemade natural body balm but with all the faff taken out. All the ingredients in the right quantities delivered straight to your door by The Wild Mix.
The Wild Mix is all about natural, simple and effective skincare, which to me makes a lot of sense and I love the idea of making a ritual out of your skincare, both preparing it and using it.
The package included all the ingredients to make the Wild Gold Revitalising Body Balm; a big jar of coconut oil, some marigold oil, sweet almond oil, sea buckthorn co2 extract, pink grapefruit and some simple to follow instructions. No fancy kit needed, just a bowl, some hot water and a spoon. It was so easy to make, like SO EASY but I felt so proud of it haha.
I have been using the balm for a couple of weeks and first of all, THE SMELL , wow, I mean it just smells incredible. Which basically makes it a joy to use. It sinks in really quickly which is great and I have been using it on dry areas of my body, my lips and even my face when I ran out of face oil AND moisturiser on the same bloody day.
I have been keeping it in my fridge while its warm and its been a lovely treat to open up the fridge and slap a bit on to a random deserving part of the body.
Other than a body balm it can be used on achey joints, dry lips and as a makeup remover. I love the sound of the latter so will be giving this a go!
I made a video showing you how to make it and what it all looks like (it's so pretty to make!) below so check it out and let me know if you have tried any products from The Wild Mix.

Sometimes i feel like I'm standing outside of this life I'm living gazing in and wondering who the hell is that person?
Sometimes the voices in my head don't make any sense and I can't sift through the real, the felt and the just plain ugly.
Sometimes the distance between who I am and who I want to be is actually laughable to the point of tears.
Sometimes the who I was and the where I'm from comes back to slap me in the face.
Sometimes the bickering over rubbers, the battles over just about everything, the baby with her stool that gets her up to that which should be out of reach, the hitting, the fussing, the screaming, the "you cooked that cause you want me to die" causes something to snap and regret to make its home in this heart.
Sometimes the responsibility of raising these four beautiful beings weighs so heavy that I simply cave under it all.
Sometimes I feel like I'm pretending.
Sometimes I lose my way.
Lord please help me find you and find me...

At a hearing by a congressional watchdog committee, Democratic lawmakers said the State Department under Rice had been too lax with armed security contractors, ignored corruption at the highest levels of the Iraqi government and was sloppy in overseeing construction of the costly new U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.
"I think there was a huge gap between what she said and reality," said Rep. Henry Waxman, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
Waxman, D-Calif., and other Democrats said they would not call on Rice to resign, noting that their frustration is with the Bush administration's policies rather than Rice alone.
"If you just change the deck chairs, it's not going to change the policy," said Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt., a committee member.
The hearing gave Democrats the venue to hammer the administration on the war. Thus far, they have been unable to pass veto-proof legislation ordering troops home from Iraq.
Recent events have given them ample fodder: shootings involving the private guards hired to protect State Department diplomats; allegations that Iraq's prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki, has blocked corruption investigations, and delays in the embassy's construction.
The Democrats' strategy did not go unnoticed by Republicans.
Democrats seemed to be trying "to drill enough small holes in the bottom of the boat to sink the entire Iraqi enterprise, while still claiming undying support for the crew about to drown," said Rep. Tom Davis of Virginia, the committee's top Republican.
The usually unflappable Rice became frustrated at several points, including a tense exchange with Welch on whether al-Maliki was corrupt. Since April, the prime minister has required that Cabinet-level corruption investigations first receive his approval. Such a policy, Welch and other Democrats say, is tantamount to blanket immunity for al-Maliki and his ministers.
When repeatedly pressed to say whether she thought al-Maliki was covering up fraud and abuse, Rice said she would not respond to rumors.
"To assault the prime minister of Iraq or anyone else in Iraq with here-to-date unsubstantiated allegations or lack of corroboration, in a setting that would simply fuel those allegations, I think, would be deeply damaging," she said.
After the hearing, Waxman said there was a gap between "her very smooth presentation" and the facts. Rice said the State Department was invested in stopping corruption, but Waxman said she was unfamiliar with al-Maliki's corruption policy and that department insiders tell lawmakers its efforts are dysfunctional.
The hearing comes after several weeks of wrangling between Waxman and the department, particularly on the public disclosure of U.S. corruption investigations in Iraq.
The department says such information should be classified because it could expose sources and hurt U.S.-Iraqi relations. Democrats counter that if Iraqi officials are stealing from their government and funding anti-U.S. militias, the State Department should make it public.

Bordeaux are reported to have made an offer for Alou Diarra, the Lyons midfield player who is said to wanted by both Newcastle United and Portsmouth.
We covered this transfer about two weeks ago – so let's see what has happened since then.
Alou Diarra
Despite the resignation of Gerard Houllier, Diarra is still refusing to stay at Lyon, even though he would get a fresh start under new manager Alain Perrin. The player said he wanted to play in England, which caused Portsmouth to submit a ₤5.5M bid in May and it looked as though Portsmouth were ready to sign him. Lyon accepted the offer, but Diarra turned it down, saying Portsmouth wasn't big enough.
Diarra is a 6'2″ tall defensive midfielder and in May it was reported that Diarra wasn't overly enthusiastic about joining Portsmouth. It was then that Diarra asked his agent to contact Sam Allardyce to see if he was still interested – because Sam had been interested when he was first appointed Newcastle manager.
Newcastle supposedly then entered the picture, and we're not sure what really happened then – but news was that Sam offered Diarra terms which were satisfactory to him. Then Diarra decided not to rule out staying in France, and Bordeaux, also decided they were interested.
The latest reports are that although Bordeaux have made an offer they can't really afford Diarra and want him on loan instead, which is what Lyon want to avoid. If Newcastle want Diarra then it would seem now is the time to move for him – but this transfer has already dragged on quite a while. We still believe Diarra is a good young defensive midfield player – although the fee of ₤5.5M is high.
That's an update as far as we understand it – and we think Diarra does want to come to Newcastle – so that would be an advantage to both Newcastle and Diarra – if we do end up signing him.
Finally a few facts on Diarra: He was at Liverpool for three years from 2002-2005 but never made one senior appearance for the club although he was on loan for much of the time. He went out on loan first to Le Havre where he made 25 appearances with no goals, then to SC Bastia where he made 35 appearances and 4 goals and finally signed for RC Lens where he made 66 appearances with 4 goals. He moved to Olympique Lyonnais in 2006 and will turn 26 in July – he has represented France 12 times.
Comments welcome.

Not to sure about him.I think we could get a cheaper player .Didnt impress when he was at Liverpool.We need a defensive midfielder with Butt not getting any younger.I get Flamini in from Arsenal suppose to be on a free.He wants to leave also doesnt fit into Arsenal attacking football but has good quailtys that Big Sam would like.
Newcasle already have a good range of midfielders, money could be spent better elsewhere in the team, such as defenders who can read and understand the game their isnt to many of them about though, also i think one more striker, you won't get afull season out of Owen or Viduka and if Martins does stay we lose him for a month in the new year anyway. Fingers crossed for Eidur!
Hope he goes to Bordeaux; I can't see him fit in our team. We do have Butt, full of experience and confidence after last year. I am glad we've got him in our ranks, cause I rate him higher than Parker.
The next signings would be: Habib Beye (I really hope he comes to Newcastle); Edmilson (is injured, but when he will be fit he is top class), a left back and perhaps Gudjonson (if Barca tells him quickly that he hasn't got a future there).
I don't know much about him but seems to fit the physical description of a vieira. Would like to see him at the club, he can't be that bad if hes in such demand and has played 12 times for france. So what if he didn't impress at liverpool, vieira didn't impress at Milan and look what happened to him!
I think Butt is a great player,expirienced,he proved that last season even when he was our captain for some time.Alou Diarra is not so good,unproven,we don't know how would he fit in the Premiership,I watched some of his games for Lyon,nothing special,for that fee we could buy a lot better defensive midfielder.
It makes me laugh when people say "all we need is defenders, our midfield is good "etc, our midfield is not good, yes we have made quality signings in barton and geremi (who wont play every game), but our midfield was non exsistent last season, they couldn't play well together for more than 10 minutes!!! If our good new signings in midfield (hopefully a few more) get injured then our seconds of Butt, Emre, Duff etc can't cut it, they proved that last season, thats why BS is looking for more midfielders, in my opinion of course lol!
Bev… So Duff, Butt and Emre cant cut it huh?. Well they seemed to do pretty well before going to Newcastle i reckon, and in the case of Butt he was THE midfielder on our team last season. Duff will prove his worth and he will make you eat your words im sure, so perhaps so wont have the last laugh i reckon… When all that is said, i do agree with you that our midfield could use some reinforcements if we wanna cut it with the big boys. Imo Milner is to young to be seen as a full time solution, he should be playing second fiddle to someone more experienced like SWP or Ljundberg and we could also use a really top class defensive midfielder to fight it out with Butt if u chose Geremi for right back. I would also take a look at young N'Zogbia, if he is as disgruntled as last season then he is of no use to us and he should be sold with someone else comming in to fight it out with Duff for left wing… Christian Poulsen from Sevilla could be ideal as the Def midfielder imo.
I agree that Butt was our best player last season but there wasn't a lot of competition! Duff is injured too much now to make a real impression and Emre is never consitent, just look at how brilliantly he played against Chelsea and then how bad he was against Portsmouth but perhaps BS can change all that. But I do think we need midfield signings too not just defence like a lot of people are saying. We'll just have to see what BS and Mr Ashley can do, oh and I hope I am made to eat my words but somehow I doubt it!
what about motta from barcelona hes a quality defensive midfielder and im sure i read somewhere that he would be available quite cheaply and i do believe we are crying out for a skillful creative midfielder so i think who better than juan ramon riquelme,im not sure how much he would be available for but i do believe he is still a villareal player who is currently just about to finish a 5 month loan stint at boca juniors,now these signing would have my heart racing and excited for the coming season

@ Dave,
How is the N95 a monster?
It's shorter, but a little wider and a little thicker.
And it only weighs 2 grams more.
How is that a monster and the K850 not?
No phone without an OS can be priced above the 500 range and hope to make it. N95's feature set trumps the K850 hands down with the exeption of battery life, size(n95 is a monster), camera flash, and picture quality. i have no need for smartphone but if SE prices this as one you might as well take the smartphone
If priced under $600US gaurenteed hit! if over $600 only for diehard SE fans
I will buy this phone the minute its out there! And also the good Sony HGE-100 GPS enabler.
what the price will it have? if more than 500 euros than N95 will beat this for sure!
i think this phone is a excellant phone i currently have the k800i and am awaiting this phone to come out for my upgrade as it seems to have everything i want roll on october
i love SE but think the k850 looks old nd shabby couldnt SE bring a better desing out lyk the w580i now thats stylish looking phone
its just a pitty the w580i doesnt have a 5mp camera now that would make the perfect phone!!
Finally, a Sony Ericsson phone with some good spec, that doesn't have a joystick, just what I needed.
Excellent phone!! Do we know anything about the SAR level of this phone? Specially for the k850(i) version?
Its fantastic n a great hanset with a fantastic camera CYBERSHOTT rokxxx
This is the phone i am waiting to buy...i have the 3.2mp k800i,and w810i and the k850 gone be the another phone that i wanted to have...thanks sony ericsson...
Feature wise it's a GREAT phone. But the design is kinda UGLY. Haven't seen it in real though.
im sorry the price is ranged from 24000PHp - 27000PHP got a correctionhehehe sorry
Good Day! I have inquired to Sony Ericsson here in the Philippines.....the phone will SURELY be released fromn August - October...Anywhere from those times....The prototype has been finished and final decisions made. It will be released those times and will be making a good hit they said.
This phone is already being produced being ready for the launching....they are to expect thousands of buyers from its launch.
There will be a great DOWNPRICE of all camera phones and also the N95 according to surveys....also if you plan to buy the cheaper ones like the k810 or k800....which the k800i here is already 17000PHP and the K810 is already 21000PHP it would be downgraded almost 15 percent of its price....
The price of the k850i would be in a span of 224000PHP - 27000PHP.....
This has been the answers of the SE management when I called up to them....
There would be 2 colors and it would be blue and green....
The phone was not really changed.....i mean there were minor firmware changes...not the whole firmware but fixed some bugs and glitched! so everyone!!!
GET READY FOR THE K850i!!!! I'm DROOLING FOR IT!!!
I don't know much about the phone but can anybody tell me about it I've had the k800 it was a nice phone but now I want to know how is this one hey I'd like details from everybody if its a female and wants to tell me how it is call me 3474097889 lol thank you

This item is a HAND CARVED BLACK FOREST BEAR CHAIR. These are like hen's teeth - very few and far between. We've only seen a very few in 20 years. This one is in fabulous,. sturdy condition with excellent color and patina. The carvings are deep and very detailed - the best quality. Overall, the bear measures 31"H. The seat measures 17" by 12" deep. The bear features glass eyes and a nicely carved set of teeth. This item is quite heavy and large, so shipping will have to be by UPS or a common carrier and those details will have to be worked out upon sale.

To become champion he had to shake off the challenge from Brian Oakes, and he effectively did that with a mid-match scoring burst of eight after Oakes had fought back from 9-2 down to make it 9-8.
At 16-8 up Collinge looked a winner, but Oakes is never one to give up.
He pulled two back and picked up another four chalks after Collinge had gone to 19, but there was really no way back for the Norden bowler and Collinge collected a double to become a worthy champion.
Collinge had made his way into the final by beating the plucky Steve Leach, the only one of the four semi-finalists to play his league matches outside the top flight.
Leach managed only one double, but he kept going, and after 24 ends it was 15-14 to Collinge. Collinge then pulled away to win 21-15.
Ryan Goodman had not conceded 10 in any of his Observer matches this season, but he was bombed out of sight by Oakes in his semi-final.
It was 7 across after nine ends, but Oakes then steamed away to win 21-9 in only 19 ends.
The ladies' competition saw Joyce Jones become the first bowler to win the ladies' shield twice, and on the bounce at that.
In the final she met Alethea Worthington who ran the reigning champion close for 17 ends, when it was 11 across, before going down 21-14.
The junior final was a classic, between two teammates at Whitworth Festival Park.
James Grey, who was actually beaten in the semi-finals, but got a place in the final because the semi winner couldn't attend on Saturday, emerged a 21-20 winner over Robert Stott.

I didn't want to dive into the ocean of modular synthesis. For may years I resisted. I thought the practice was all about experimenting and jamming – all about the live session in itself. And for me, the things that come first in all of this, are songwriting, composition, arrangement, structure, mixing, and postproduction such as mastering.
And while I enjoy sound design very much, and regard it as an important part in the making of music, I thought Eurorack modular systems primarily made noises that was hard to integrate into more conventional tracks. And then it's not possible to save presets.
But now I'm thinking: why not have both? I can still do my old routines, and at the same time care for a little ecosystem with an ephemeral nature on the side. I could set limits.
So I'm building a basic synth voice, something in that direction. The modular rack is made of dedicated modules (more or less) and has many modulation possibilities. It kind of goes like this: VCO > MIX > VCF > VCA > ENV > LFO.
I don't want to use multifunctional toolboxes, such as Expert Sleepers Disting or advanced generators as Make Noise Maths to begin with. I don't want a computer to do everything – that would defeat the purpose of a modular system (although a couple of combined utility functions are alright, like Mutable Instruments Kinks or Intellijel Triatt ). I'm not putting a self-contained, semi-modular synth – like a Moog Mother-32 or an Arturia MiniBrute 2 – as a starting point, because I want building blocks; different exchangeable modules. (I'm, however, using an Elektron Analog Keys to control everything and then some.) For the modular system will grow, evolve organically, and stuff will be supplemented or replaced.
From the get-go, the the modular is mainly Doepfer, but it will be customized with other equivalent modules or upgrades. I'd like to say I'm expanding slowly to get a chance to thoroughly understand the modules and how they interact with each other, but to tell you the truth, this configuration has really exploded. But I guess, and hope, it will cool down. It takes time and perhaps it's the process per se that is the point.
Another agenda is to acquire used modules on the secondhand market, as far as possible. I want to be able to try out and then sell, if it doesn't fit without losing too much money. This approach has been working great with the exception of a friend of mine whom is building a uBraids for me.
P.S. Ableton Live 10 is officially released today.

Eco-friendly Heated Towel Rails
All the rage in the UK and Europe, the hydronic heated towel rails from Jeeves are both environmentally-friendly and über stylish. Using solar energy as opposed to an electrical heating element, these rails are well-suited to the sunny South African climate. We got the low-down… How do they work? Solar heating systems harness and convert energy from sun rays into usable electricity. This solar power is a sustainable energy source, whereas burning fossil fuels for energy is not. A simple circulation pump is used to circulate hot water from the geyser or solar storage tank to the heated towel rails, before re-entering the geyser or solar storage tank to be recirculated. Pros of using this eco-friendly alternative? Simple to operate and heat up almost immediately, it won't be impacted by electricity black-outs, and you can link yours to a water-based underfloor heating system for a complete heating solution. Photo credit: Jeeves Classic C curved heated towel rail in polished stainless steel. Price ranges from R2,400 – R5,000 depending on the model selected. jeeves.co.za

Digging through old Facebook photos in the wee hours of the morning I came across pictures from the day we came home from the hospital. Also the day I allowed harm to be done to my little lovebug. More than 2 years later I still feel awful about it. I can't even look at these pictures without crying, knowing what happened to him on what was supposed to be a happy day of bringing our baby home. I also noticed that in all of the pictures of myself, I look glazed over. I do remember that day that I couldn't stop thinking about it. I honestly can't remember if I've told my story on this page before or not.
The morning of July 25, 2011 when the nurse came in and asked if they would be doing a circumcision for my son, I hesitated in my heart, but not verbally. Rewind a couple of weeks before my son was born, DH and I were in a childbirth education class at a local hospital. One thing the nurse told me that stuck in my mind was that my hormone levels would be off and that I would think things that weren't necessarily how I felt. Well that morning, my intuition told me to leave my boy alone. It was screaming at me!!!!!!!! And the only thing I could think of was, this must be that crazy hormone thing that our educator told me about. So I blindly signed consent and sent my baby on his way. Since I didn't have him, and hadn't left the hospital room I was in for over 48 hours, I had my mom help me take a walk around L&D. Even though I had a tour of the hospital and knew where the 'procedure' room was, for some reason we walked down that hallway. Even though I only knew him for 2 days, I knew his tone. I knew his sounds. I knew his cry. The screams and crying I heard from the hallway were definitely coming from MY baby. I froze in my tracks, in shock that he was hurting so badly. Everything in me wanted to beat down that door and take my baby far, far away. I was in shock as I stood there. My mom didn't say a word but rather took me by the arm and continued on our walk. I followed.
Knowing what I know now, I'm sure that even if I had banged and hollered for them to stop, the damage had already been done. I hate myself for allowing myself to believe that statement over my intuition. I hate that I never once looked into circumcision prior to having my baby, especially since I took so much time and care to look into everything from car seats to bath soap. How could I so blindly be led into something I knew nothing about? I wish that just ONE person had mentioned anything about leaving my boy intact. I would have at least googled it. I know not every regretter is an 'intactivist', but life experience has made me that way so that I can inform others. I hope to at least plant the seed in the minds of expecting parents that despite our culture and society there are options worth exploring. Moreover, I just hope that those I come in contact with make an informed decision, not just follow blindly in their parents footsteps. Thanks for reading my story.

AppleTree Early Learning Public Charter School is an engaging learning experience that prepares three- and four-year old children to succeed in Kindergarten. Ages three and four mark a critical point in a child's development. That's why AppleTree ELPCS focuses exclusively on preschool and pre-K. We are a free, full-day public charter school with campuses throughout the District serving DC families with preschool age children.
Basic Facts
Available Spots: 1/6/16 - For school year 2017|2018 we have 44 PreSchool spots and 20 PreKindergarten spots
Age Range:
2yrs - 5yrs (children must be three by September 30th of the current school year)
Years Established: 2005
Enrollment: Currently 81, Capacity 88
Average Class Size: 19-20 Students
Tuition: $0
Who you serve:
Co-ed, Preschool
Contact Details
- Address: 2017 Savannah Terrace SE Washington DC
- Zip Code: 20020
- Phone: 2026292545
- Website: http://www.appletreeinstitute.org/
Important Q&A
What differentiates your school from all others?
Students at AppleTree Schools benefit from a different experience than they would at other pre-school and pre-K programs because:
-A focus on your child: We know that ages three and four are a critical time in your child's development, so that's all we teach – and we're determined to do it right. Our teachers are well-trained to meet each child's needs and prepare them to succeed in kindergarten.
-A size you can manage: Transitioning from daycare is a big step. Large environments with older students can be distracting, disruptive, and intimidating. Our focus on three- and four-year olds helps ensure that children are in an environment where they feel safe and free to learn.
-A quality staff: AppleTree educators are quality, caring professionals. We have at least two instructors in each classroom, including a Lead Teacher with a Bachelor's degree, meaning that each child will receive the specialized, individual attention that he or she needs.
-Convenient locations: AppleTree has 10 campuses across Washington, DC. We offer options and assistance to help families select the school location that best meets their needs. We also offer Extended Day Programs for students to keep them engaged in learning after the traditional school day.
-Meaningful results: Children learn more at AppleTree -- and they have fun doing it! Our students are better prepared for Kindergarten than their non-AppleTree peers, showing greater mastery of early literacy, reading, and math.
-An innovative approach: Our award-winning instructional model, called Every Child Ready, was developed by AppleTree just for three- and four-year olds. We continuously test and improve this model to ensure that children are learning and exploring through play and appropriate instruction.
Where do you see your school in 5 years, what will be different?
AppleTree is the first early learning public chartered school in the District of Columbia. We started the charter school in 2005. Since then, we have grown to 6 campuses and our business model as of 2013 extends to our early learning program by twinning/partnering with other charter schools. This twinning allow charters to work together doing what they do best, focusing on areas where they have expertise. AppleTree has no business teaching first grade. We've been around for years focusing only on early childhood. These parings allows two schools doing what they do best to support the success of children from preschool through 8th grade.
Whats one myth about your school thats just not true?
We are a childcare/daycare center
What kind of student is most successful at your school?

Superman Back to Loving America
In Action Comics #900 Superman decided to give up his United States citizenship as to not negatively impact American foreign policy. This stirred up discussion that's still continuing. In this week's Superman #711 it looks like he's back to loving America. USA! USA!
That's what America is about, really. That's the American way. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness – and second chances. None of us are forced to be anything we don't want to be. When I was young I know that I would be someone different when I grew up. I would leave home and make a new life for myself. A new start, a second chance. When I first went to Metropolis, it was full of people who'd done the same thing. People from all over America – from over the world – who went to the city to live the lives they anted – to be the people they wanted to be. That's the idea that America was founded on, but it's not just for the people born here, it's for everione. And it's for peope like me and Livewire too.
– Superman

Shops open on Sunday
Characteristics -
For several months now, our capital has followed close on the heels of Europe's big cities. Inhabitants of Brussels can now do their shopping on Sunday in the city centre's shops. In 2015, the Pentagon was recognised as a tourist zone by the majority of Brussels inhabitants and more recently, the city heights have been granted the much-sought after opening. These decisions make it possible for small traders to obtain a dispensation from the dominical rest legal framework.
To which shops does this apply?
In order to favour small shopkeepers, the decision does not apply to the major retailers that, for their part, have chosen to open on only one Sunday per month. In the city centre, therefore, the shops on Neuve Street will await your custom only on the first Sunday of the month. This is also the case of the shops in the districts of Louise and Porte de Namur, in the city heights.
Entertainment activities
During the Sunday openings, entertainment activities are planned to distract both the young and the old in between two purchases!

Wilma Dunaway breaks new ground by focusing on slave experiences on small plantations in the Upper South. She argues that the region was not buffered from the political, economic, and social impacts of enslavement simply because it was characterized by low black population density and small slaveholdings. Dunaway pinpoints several indicators that distinguished Mountain South enslavement from the Lower South, by drawing on a massive statistical data base derived from antebellum census manuscripts and county tax records of 215 counties in nine states, slaveholder manuscripts, and regional slave narratives.

Sometimes it seems like if you blink, another year (or three Internet years) slips away. Our next issue will be dated 1999; if that doesn't send Y2K chills up your spine then you must have already upgraded and tested all your products…and bought a nice bunker in the mountains of New Mexico. In an industry that moves as quickly as ours, once in a while its nice to stop, tie up loose ends, and look back at what actually happened while we were gulping coffee and cranking out code.
On Operating Systems
I touched a sensitive nerve with the column "Checking the Rearview Mirror," in which I talked about Linux and iMac as platforms gaining momentum. Starting from the day the article hit the streets, I was swamped with 10 times the usual e-mail. Thanks for all the suggestions on improving Microsoft Word 97 performance -- unfortunately, I'd already disabled FINDFAST.EXE. All in all, there seems to be a great deal of frustration that NT doesn't always blaze on blazing hardware.
I think my article ended up posted on some Linux sites, which explains the plethora of pro-Linux responses. It's nice to know that other platforms have vibrant communities. And I'd be remiss not to mention BeOS. About a quarter of the respondents touted this new multi-media oriented platform as Linux with a wicked fast GUI.
Hopefully we'll see Windows 2000 by the second quarter of 1999 and it will be an operating system we can all happily use. It will definitely be the most feature-rich operating system ever released, including Internet, components, transactions, and message queuing in one integrated package.
On Innovation
Bill Gates took a moment to talk about innovation in his keynote to the 6,000 plus developers at the Microsoft Professional Developers Conference (PDC) in Denver this past October. Bill, with the anti-trust case on his mind, told developers that our industry has created 20,000 software companies over the last five years, and that there is no lack of innovation. Note to Bill: The guys who are innovating are supposed to be the guys who profit from the innovation. Browsers, palm-sized PCs, streaming media, and Windows terminals are all technologies that made some money for their inventors, but will ultimately make more money for Microsoft. Innovation shouldn't mean that every other software company is a Microsoft farm team.
Speaking of innovation Bill, don't all those Windows developers who helped put your company on the map deserve better than a PowerPoint presentation suitable for the executive committee? We're developers, Bill. We already know how it all works. For your next development keynote you should just fly on stage in a jetpack and tell us we can all have our own jetpacks if we keep writing for Windows.
On WinCE
Microsoft probably scored a coup by letting PDC developers buy there own second generation palm-sized PCs for a substantial discount. The Windows CE classes were packed with developers who want to program their new toys. The latest Casio Cassiopeia is a big improvement over the first generation palm-sized PCs, maybe even putting my PalmPilot back in jeopardy.
The new WinCE 3.0 unit creating a buzz is the Clio by chipmaker Vadem (www.vadem.com). The Clio is a subnotebook-sized, 640x480 color WinCE device with a pivoting screen that can either be used via the 85 percent of full-size keyboard or as a pen-based tablet computer. Supporting WinFrame and Wireless LAN -- via a PC Card -- this could be a brand-new enterprise form factor for a roving workforce.
On Java
Java failed this year to provide the performance or stability that developers require. That said, Java is still retaining industry mindshare with Enterprise JavaBeans and server-side components. I'd love to see a technological breakthrough that makes me eat me words, but I think Java is becoming a case of the Emperor's new clothes. If this is the best strategy to compete with Microsoft, well, viva la Microsoft.
On Microsoft Promises
COM+ is very late, tied as it is to Windows 2000. The COM+ Visual C++ language extensions that I wrote nearly a year ago won't be available until 60 days after Windows 2000 is released. Ouch. I got sucked into that one.
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is the other side of the coin. Microsoft has done extremely well supporting this technology, already releasing the first W3C certified XML parser. This seems particularly strange because XML is an industry standard.
Simplification was the word of the day according to the Microsoft Professional Developers Conference's keynote speakers. Microsoft seemed to grasp the issues facing users of their products today. But attending a breakout session on building Active Directory-aware applications left my head swimming and the room emptying at an alarming rate. Nothing simple here.
I think the theme of the PDC could have been "Approaching the Promises of Last Year."
The Year Ahead
As a developer, my fear is that other tool vendors will be unable to generate a buzz with anything but add-ons to Visual Basic and Visual C++. Superior products from other tool vendors no longer faze Microsoft. Please continue to let me know about such products so I can bring them to the attention of our readers.
If Microsoft manages to release a stable version of Windows 2000, it will have more on the ball than any other operating system. With COM+, Internet Explorer, IIS, MSMQ, MTS and SQL Server all tightly integrated, only IBM has the suite of tools to be considered a competitor. If, however, Windows 2000 is not dependable, all these fancy enterprise features will be useless. Could be an interesting year. -- Eric Binary Anderson is a development manager at PeopleSoft's PeopleTools division (Pleasanton, Calif.) and has his own consulting business, Binary Solutions.

SOUTH BRUNSWICK, NJ – The South Brunswick Vikings showed no mercy as they manhandled the Hunterdon Central Red Devils 46-7 to win the State Championship quarterfinal playoff game Friday night.
After a long Hunterdon kick return and productive opening drive, culminating in a four-yard touchdown run by Blake Leeds, the Red Devils went quietly into the night as the Vikings offense amassed 46 unanswered points.
It was the usual suspects for South Brunswick as the Vikings scored 20 points in both the first and second quarters.
The Viking offense showed its offensive diversity including Mohamed Jabbie with 63-yard and 21-yard pass receptions for two scores, running backs Wendell Allen and Jaier Garett scoring from 21 and 20 yards respectively, quarterback Josh Liao running one in from three yards out, and a 75-yard Jabbie punt run back to the house.
Justin Shorter wrapped up the Vikings scoring with a 20-yard pass reception for a score in the third quarter.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, could not get out of their own way, turning the ball back to the Vikings on fourth down numerous times.
Even some Viking miscues, including a couple of personal fouls for late hits out of bounds, did not allow the Red Devils to score.
The Vikings will play the semifinal game in the tournament next Friday night at 7 p.m. at the high school on Ridge Road.
They will face the winner of Saturday afternoon's matchup between Manalapan and Trenton, scheduled for 1 p.m.

Every successful sale starts with lead generation. Buying leads is never going to yield the same results as organic leads, but it can be tough to get your design and marketing just right. The effort should not be abandoned, however, since valuable leads help a sales team thrive.
Difficult or not, generating leads is and will remain a high priority for marketers in the years to come. Finding the balance between quality and quantity for leads needs a well thought-out strategy. Here are some of the common lead generation mistakes that you should consider with your internal and external teams while developing your plan for success.
Design Mistakes
It's said that you only get one shot at a first impression, and for lead generation, that first impression is going to hinge on the design of your landing pages. Well, to be fair the first impression really starts with the page load. If your website design doesn't allow for fast and full page loading, you'll lose your sale before it even becomes a lead. Your landing pages should also carry over your brand's overall look and feel. Stay away from gimmicky trends that will confuse your audience about who your brand is and what they have to offer.
Keep the design of your landing pages consistent, and follow these basic guidelines:
- Keep your form above the page fold
- Don't muck up your lead generation process with too many points for conversion
- Don't busy up your landing pages with a bunch of competing content
- Don't hide your call to action
Messaging Mistakes
Your internal research, paired with expert recommendations from your digital marketing agency, should help you craft the right messages for the right audiences. Despite having more access than ever before to all kinds of data, marketers still struggle to find the right message. Here are a few mistakes that marketers make with their lead generation messages:
- Ignoring pain points. You should be working with your sales team to identify the pain points in the industry, and you should be using those pain points in your messages. Call out how your product or service can solve those pain points. Sure, you want to talk about your features and benefits, but you need to weave those around a story about how you'll solve a problem.
- Forgetting to nurture leads. Your messaging should be changing as your leads move through your funnel. If you just bombard them with a constant "buy now" message, you're missing a valuable opportunity to educate your leads and turn them into loyal, long-term customers.
- Offering nothing. If you want your leads to give up their professional or personal contact information, you need to be willing to offer them something of value in return – for free. Go through your blog and webinar archives and recycle the content into an eBook or a highlights video with tips and tricks.
Form Mistakes
Once your leads are impressed enough with your web design and the value you are offering them in return for their information, you still aren't home free. Your landing page form is still a point of contact that can make or break your lead generation. Do some A/B testing to find the right balance for your forms, but in general, try to keep them short by prioritizing the information that will be most important for your sales team.
