Getting the most out of B2B lead generation – Seven ways telemarketing can play a vital role.
Every business is constantly searching for new clients that can benefit from their services, yet generating high quality leads and appointments has proven to be one of the biggest challenges that B2B marketers face. Marketing teams are churning out multi-channel campaigns hoping that one will resonate with the audience and generate a lead.
This rather 'hit and miss' approach can be a drain in both resources and budgets, with few 'quality' sales leads to show for it at the end of the day. As with most things, a well-researched and logical blend of a range of marketing channels and a clear strategy will not only win new leads, but will also deliver long-term profitable relationships for your business.
Integrating Telemarketing into the Marketing Mix
Telemarketing is a complementary and integral part of any B2B marketing strategy, and has proven to be a highly effective means for generating leads and increasing sales. By integrating telemarketing before, during or after a marketing campaign, such as direct mail, event/exhibition or digital project, you stand a significantly better chance of creating a better impression, developing longer-lasting relations and gaining invaluable sales opportunities.
Here are 5 ways that telemarketing can be used to support your marketing strategy:
- Create awareness: Outbound telemarketing creates awareness that helps to engage with potential customers and upsell new products or services to existing customers.
- Create dialogue: One of the greatest advantages of telemarketing is the ability to build relationships and interact in a way that just isn't possible through any other above-the-line marketing activity. Communicating your message via the telephone gives the prospect opportunities to ask questions, and you get to gauge reaction and hear feedback immediately. This two-way dialogue makes telemarketing a unique and powerful marketing channel.
- Provide 'warmer' leads: Telemarketing is a great way to warm up cold leads by doing the initial prospecting via the telephone and then farming the warmer leads to a sales team to take to the next stage. It's also more cost effective than leaving this to field sales to do themselves, if they do it at all!
- Help explain complex propositions: If you are selling more complex or technical services that need explanation or clarification, then telemarketing provides greater insight and understanding so the prospect is more likely to buy.
- Nurture existing relationships: Telemarketing helps to nurture relationships with your existing clients: up-selling, brand reinforcement and market research are just some of the ways that telemarketing can help foster relationships and retain those all-important clients you've worked so hard to reach.
- Determine the right prospects: Telemarketing helps to eliminate any prospects that may prove to be a waste of time. This can save a company from exhausting precious resources and time on those that simply aren't interested or appropriate for any further sales follow-up.
- Critical Communications: When you have to communicate information that is critical to your clients – or your business – telemarketing ensures that the information reaches the right audience quickly and that they fully understand the implications.
By integrating your various marketing efforts, you have the opportunity to take your messages further and uncover precious new business leads.

Freedom in all dimensions.
Flexible stone
Technologies are constantly advancing, offering more and more new developments and materials for cladding buildings.
The Flexible Brick is now available on the market, consisting of marble chips and acrylic resin. Marble is the second most durable natural mineral, after diamonds. Acrylic resin is used in the construction of yachts and aircraft parts. These two materials combined produce a high quality material for cladding façades of houses and buildings with at least 50 years of service life. The Flexible Brick is not only elastic, but also lightweight so that the façade is not burdened with a heavy load. The Flexible Brick can be installed on any uneven surface, as well as square corners and pillars. And most interestingly, the Flexible Brick can be cut with scissors!
The Flexible Brick solves many problems simultaneously: it does not require any component parts, it is lightweight, which cuts logistical costs, it requires very little tile adhesive, it has a protective coating for troweling, it is simple to install, its application does not produce any waste products, and it is ultra-violet resistant.

i listened to the brand/ross/sachs phone call last night
have you? its a bit like a "i had your mum" jibe.
grow up.
...i sometimes laugh when i consider how much he's being paid...
but it's more a laugh of complete disbelief given his relative lack of talent and his insistence to have Ricky Gervais ON EVERY FUCKING SERIES OF HIS CHAT SHOW!
not really
though he's done one or two decent shows about Japanese culture and comic books and the like - not enough to justify his crazy salary of course and his chat show is pretty tired these days. But this tabloid hysteria is now beyond stupid, and I don't even like Brand or Ross that much.
So did I
Not very funny on any level really.
'grow up'
that's it. That's all that needs to be said. This shouldn't be headline news
brand doesnt even say AT ANY POINT
that he has had sex with that bird
oh bloody hell.
at the start he says about a million times "no i didnt he's lying".
Watching the news last night, the BBC sampled an audience who were outside waiting to go in to watch some Alan Titchmarsh show. Like any of them have listened to it. About 20 packs of boiled sweets between em.
Did they really tell him that he ought to hang himself?
I read the transcripts last night and I didn't find anything like that though the papers keep saying they did.
i've not read the transcripts
but wasn't it that they said 'oh he might hang himself when he hears this'... not actually telling him to hang himself.
to be honest, my favourite thing in this whole stupid overblown dramarama is the slutty granddaughter! she's in a burlesque troupe called 'Satanic Sluts' and the photo of her in the paper yesterday was hilarious, it was a really crap stripper like photo. Russell Brand probably HAS fucked her.
I think she looks rather fabulous
In my mind's eye I could be like that.
In reality, it's more Sally Webster.
The week before
David Baddiel was talking about how he'd been round Brand's house where she and another member of the troupe were sitting round waiting for Brand to finish his conversation with Baddiel so's he could give them another going over. I'm assuming that's why it came up again the following week..
go to youtube, type in ross and brand phone call.
listen and make your own judgement
I'm disappointed in Jonathan Ross, he should really know better
Brand is a try hard cunt, who must be such a boring person, that he needs to cover it up by creating this persona of his.
yeah he's SO boring
that he imaginatively created this outspoken and outgoing character. yup.
I thought it was funny
They mentioned his granddaughter the week before on the show he must have had a hint as to why they were planning on having him as a guest... He should stop being so miserable.
he was going to a be a guest on the russell brand show
what did he expect? the week before russell was talking about his grandaughter and "satan's sluts". why did his agent agree to it?
and i don't know why he was expecting to be treated like a national treasure, he was fucking manuel
I think he's just expecting to be treated with a bit of basic respect.
I don't think that's too much to ask.
then why was he going on the russell brand show?
he should have gone on parkinson if he's going to boring. except parkinson wouldn't want to interview a man who is only famous for playing a borderline racist minor sitcom character in the 70s
Maybe he had second thoughts, which is why he didn't answer the phone?
Anyway, ignorance about Andrew Sachs's career aside, your point seems to be something like "It's fair game to ring someone up and leave a load of abuse on their voicemail unless they've played Hamlet at the RSC" or some shit like that, so I'm not really that bothered about pursuing the argument.
no, my point is
why did he expect to be treated any differently to anyone else on the russell brand show?
I'd say
that taking the piss out of someone in an interview is one thing, as they're able to answer back. This isn't really the same, is it.
It was uncomfortable to listen to and unprofessional
But the BBC has apologised, both Ross and Brand have apologised. Do people genuinely think this justifies them being sacked?
The BBC obviously can't sack Jonathan Ross. He's too important to them. I'd imagine they'd be a lot more willing to sack Russell Brand, but they can't punish him and not dish out the same to Ross, as if you listen to it, it's him that pretty much instigates the whole thing
Also, the actual girl seems like a bit of a dick. "My grandfather just wants this all to go away". Fair enough. Thing is, she's called Max Clifford in, and no doubt she'll be on the front of the News of the World this Sunday, cashing in and dragging this thing out for another week
the girl is an idiot
that whole article is ridiculous.
"Georgina, 23, told Charles: "It's a real kick in the teeth. I won't be letting him back into my life - even if he begs me to forgive him."
i'm sure he was desperate to settle down with one of satan's sluts
Its so depressing!
The entire world is collapsing around our ears and all the fucking Mail and Sun can go on about is this bollox! And now Gordon Brown's sticking his oar in; "Oh look Labour Party: the tabloids are escalating a piece of irrelevant celebrity 'scandal'! Let me at it - its just the distraction we need!" Conspiracies! - their everywhere!
they really wont sack Brand
he's their rising star
I remember reading an early article on the bbc news site
So you might wanna take this with a pinch of salt, but they said that only about 4 complaints had been recieved. Now all of a sudden its up2 10,000. Now given that this was aired on the 18th october how come all these other people suddenly decided to complain? Assuming they listened to it, (which they probably havn't) if it annoyed you when you 1st listened to it you would've complained within a day or two. Not ten days later. So it's really blown out of the water. And I don't think the bbc will sack anybody, maybe the person whom edited the show and said it was okay to air but not ross or brand.
apparently, no-one had complained about the treatment of manuel
they complained because jonathan ross said "fuck" and it wasn't beeped out. then another 10,000 complaints came over a week after, when it was publicised in the mail
It's only really the radio show he does, isn't it?
Or have I forgotting something? He seems to have more ties to Channel 4. Also, MTV sacked Russell Brand, and then took him back again. If they were to get rid of him from Radio 2 (which, to be honest, I'm surprised he still does anyway, given how his acting has taken off), then I'm sure the BBC would just bring him back again before long
Max Clifford?
I missed that bit. Oh, classy.
To be expected really. She spends the week going over how distraught she is, how horrible it's been for her family, and then Sunday rolls round and she's legs akimbo in a red top, telling us that "Brand was a rubbish lover anyway"
Both are unfunny.
Ross is a boor, trying to hang on to his youth and his marriage and looking like a total pillock in the process.
Russell Brand is far too impressed with his limited intellect, and has cooked up his current persona in a really distastefully calculating way. He's an overgrown 6th former, and as such, should be subjected to perpetual bogwashing until his 'individuality' is cleansed from him. Anyone else remember when he was a woefully unfunny drug-gonk satellite rave show presenter?
Dance Floor Chart?
If you watch it back now, it's essentially just him interviewing sweaty kids who are gurning their faces off
i used to watch it purely for him.
it was brilliant.
Can't believe so many people have complained, bandwagon-style
Actually makes me want to leave the country
did anyone watch that show on JayZ last night?
it showed footage of Jon Ross being introduced to him - "ah Mr Z, delighted to meet you. I just listened to the Blueprint album, what a fabulous piece of work. if you're having girl problems i feel bad for you son, I got 99 problem's but a bitch aint one! marvelous stuff."
Tory MP Nadine Dorries said:
"I am shocked and disappointed that the BBC felt it appropriate to offend one of Britain's most respected actors with such a base and vulgar attack"
"Britain's most respected actors"
Hahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha. Ha.
I didn't even know his name until last week.
this phonecall was small fry
compared to what he used to put up with from basil
he probably grossly mis-interpreted the phone call
and ran off to throw the suitcases in the bath anyway
WOW ahahahahahaha
Now I get it
So Brand actually DID go out with her
She IS as suggestive dancer.
So they havnt just done all this out of the blue.
Andrew Sachs was going to be on the prog and there was a connection that Ross mentioned on the phone and then Ross kind of encouraged Brand to continue.
Of course its not nice that they did this, but it was something that escalated between the two of them till they did something irresponsible and a bit mean.....which is the sort of things that male freinds do do sometimes.
They both apologised and Andrew Sachs said that Brands was deep and sincere sounding.
but then "Brand left his home and said Hare Krishna whilst SMIRKING" oooh the devil (sounds like an excerpt from one of his stand ups)
Seriously I would never have known that Sachs daughter did risque dancing and really had been with Brand were it not for the publicity that the complainers, the papers, the BBC and Prime minister and the leader of the opposition have given this.
My god talk about making matters worse.
Dont people think Sachs is far more dismayed that everyone has now blown this across all headlines...that his grand daughter dances rudely and went with the 'unwashed smirker Brand'?
Weapons of mass distraction!
We are doomed :(
The point everyone seems to forget when debating this is...
Imagine a guy leaving an answer message on your grandad's phone bragging, singing and chanting about how he'd has sex with his grand-daughter (your sister)... You'd be furious. I can see why so many people have gotten angry about this.
i don't think anyone's forgotten that
given that it's been on the front page of newspapers all week
Nobody has forgotten this.
It is in very poor taste. But 10,000+ complaints? MPs commenting on it? The Prime Minister commenting on it? FIND SOMETHING MORE PRODUCTIVE TO DO WITH YOUR TIME
Lots of people have said
the prank was stupid and childish, and that they don't much like Ross and Brand anyway. But they've apologised and it's been blown out of all proportion now. It's just another excuse for the Sun and the Mail to bash the BBC. There's little to no chance they'll sack either of the two anyway.
I think the point is the media / idiot public need to get a bit of perspective
over the situation. Yeah the phone call isn't clever, they apologised, he accepted the apology that should be it really. Front page news on every paper, mentioned on every news broadcast at the top of the bulletin is slightly blowing it out of proportion.. Not not slightly, massively !!
The Sky News website these last two days has been unbelievable
But imagine the girl in question was your sister,
and the Fawlty Tower's guy was your grandad, and you found out about this... you'd be steaming with rage, surely?
And that's where I can appreciate the "public's" outrage about this.
That's not the point.
Manuel and his family are of course entitled to be angry. However, Gordon Brown - the FUCKING PRIME MINISTER OF GREAT BRITAIN - should NOT, in any circumstance, be wasting his time commenting on anything as frivolous and utterly stupid as this.
He shouldnt be wasting any fucking time on it!
You his publicist?
Maybe not.
But he shouldn't be spending even a second of his time on this nonsense.
Once one person is "outraged" by something, another thinks "I can't keep quiet, people will think I condone this!" (as if anyone gives a shit) and so on until it's given more news coverage than the economic downturn which is fucking affecting half of the world.
I tried reading the transcript this morning: Got bored
Tried listening to it on YouTube: Got bored
I like Andrew Sachs though. He once winked at me when I saw him in a panto.
Both of them suspended apparently :S
This is absolutely insane!
What the fuck is going on?!
Ah, the modern BBC
When a story breaks out prevaricate for ages, then DISCIPLINE EVERYONE IN SIGHT.

This weeks book review is so powerful and informative! Boys Adrift by Leonard Sax, M.D., Ph.D. was such an eye opening book. It felt like I was waking up in the morning with a fresh bucket of water thrown in my face. The information that is given to us is so important. I feel like handing this book out to all parents of boys and telling them it's required reading.
Dr Sax, himself a father of 1 girl, has devoted his life to helping boys beat the ADHD stigma and growth and maturation difficulties that face our sons today. He touches in his book, in deep detail, his clinical experience with how culture, society, parenting, schooling and even environmental factors are weighing heavily and affecting our boys.
He discusses:
Teaching methods and how our schools today are geared towards girls who can sit and do workbooks. Our schools fail so many boys with the emphasis on testing and grades. He finds boys often need camaraderie and competition. Completely taken out of schools today, games where there is a loser or which honors the physically strong. But also even in the classroom, making scholarly competition healthy. He says some boys, who otherwise would be labelled and diagnosed ADHD and medicated, simply can thrive by being put in an all boys Elementary School. These schools can focus on boys needs and learning curves better than co-ed. He goes on to touch on the detrimental affects of prescription drugs that are often diagnosed to boys who are simply being boys.
The detriment video games and chronicles how they really do fry your brain. But more importantly they are affecting a boy or a young man's connection to reality. The reality of working, supporting a family, what really is success, etc. This break with reality is rolling over in to generation Y. A whole chapter is devoted to talking about young men who still live at home and don't work, living off their parents. The typical "failure to launch" story. That chapter really made me sick because I see it so much today.
Environmental toxins are discussed as a possibility to why men today are being feminized physically. While not the only factor, he points out and makes some connections to how a males genes are easier to mutate. He makes a good case for keeping plastics with bisphenol A and phthalates out of your family's diet. Although mainstream stores now carry most bottles, pacifiers, water bottles without BHA now, it's still important to see the reasoning behind this shift. He talks about changes in puberty levels, boys fragility, obesity, birth defects and sexual androgyny.
Although I am consolidating the information here, I say this book is required reading for all parents of boys. I think dads especially can benefit from reading this book. It teaches you to take a step back and look at how your life, society and culture are affecting your son. But it also lets you know you can do something about it. For example your schooling options or video game decisions. I only wish society would value and support masculinity in it's traditional sense. This books makes a good case to why we need to get that back for our boys!

Longing for sea and clear night sky I decided to go for a very unusual summer nail polish choice this time. As you already know, Chanel is really good at creating rare shades and colors so this time I was able to find exactly what I was looking for – right in my nail polish stash. If you like deep blue creams – this one is for you!
Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour ($27.00) features classic and trend-defining shades in an exclusive formula that strengthens and moisturizes nails as it delivers high-shine colour. Applies without streaking.
Inspired with jeans and everything jeans-related Chanel created three exquisite nail polishes for their 'Les Jeans De Chanel Collection 2011' that instantly caused a huge Chanel-nail-polish-hype all over the world. All of the three nail polishes were limited edition at the time of the release but due to the fact how much the makeup lovers really liked these shades – all of the colors were added to the permanent collection not long after – but in different countries. You can now find each shade but in different locations only.
Out of the three nail polishes – Coco Blue, Blue Boy and Blue Rebel – I especially like the Chanel Blue Rebel for how deep and at the same time muted, darkened blue it is. It is definitely a navy blue but not a usual one, it has something mysterious about it, a bit of grey-ish undertone that makes it more dimensional and unique compared to other navy blues.
Blue Rebel has a cream finish and as a result a wonderful application as it goes perfectly smooth and even. You will have to layer two coats of it to reach full color opacity that is pretty standard for nail polishes nowadays. The finish is also quite glossy but, as you may already know, I prefer using top coats for even more shine and to prolong the wear time.
This is one of the best Chanel nail polishes in terms of wear time, actually. It wears perfectly for a week with minor tip wear and no chipping. I had to take this off after a week to paint my nails with a new shade but I believe it would have lasted for a couple days more if I didn't.
Such a color goes well with everything white, blue and grey-black. It is like a darker universal shade for me. It is muted and it is not such a statement color as a black could be. Therefore it looks appropriate for practically any occasion and does not contradict with clothing and your color choices. You can rarely find such a nice blue shade like this one and I'm happy it was made permanent (check Chanel website for your country to find out if it is permanent in your region).
It definitely does reflect the 'jeans' idea but to my mind it is also a very nice navy shade and it a very cool color for a sea-side. I absolutely adore the Blue Rebel for being such a gorgeous blue! Believe me, it is worth checking out – I don't think it has very close dupes out there.
I hope this post was interesting and entertaining for you. Please leave your questions in the comments down below!
Thank you very much for your attention.
Have an amazing day!
Hugs and kisses,

Can I can I can I can I can I? The refrain of pester power, through which children have "persuaded" their parents into a course of action for millennia.
Often parents agree simply to get the little angels to belt up. Often the little devils come to learn that if they repeat it often and loud enough, their wish will come true.
Many companies have assumed the parental role, embarking upon programmes of disclosure simply to simply to get external pressures (including regulators) to belt up and not bother them.
In the meantime sustainability professionals keep repeating the mantra that sustainability has to be embedded into all of a company's activities, not just bolted on as an afterthought.
More Sweeties, Please
But once in a while there comes along a parent who is truly enlightened and gives the children what they want before the little darlings even realise that's what they were after.
Astoundingly, this enlightened fairy godmother is Petrobras, a Brazilian Oil & Gas company traded on the São Paulo Stock Exchange. The Financial Times lists it as the fiftieth largest company in the World and it is believed to hold the fifth largest oil reserves.
The thing is, when visiting a website it's usually a bit of a hunt to find the sustainability section. When there's a link from the homepage, there's a small sigh of relief and a brief prayer of thanks to the company in question.
Petrobras have turned this normality on its head. There's the anticipated "Environment and Social Responsibility" link from the front page. But there's also a "Culture" one, and a "Sport" one, and even another, separate, "Environment" one.
So what's in the "Investor Relations" section? Well blow me down, yet more sustainability content along with assorted guidelines and policies, happily rubbing shoulders alongside more traditional financial analysis tools.
There's even a few pages about the company's transparency in the "About" section and the "Business" section links back to the "Investor Relations" sustainability content.
Enough! I'm going To Burst!
Phew! The list goes on and on with news and publications frequently featuring sustainability issues and the ability to sign up for dedicated newsletters. It would be harder to avoid the sustainability content than try and find it!
The most impressive fact about all this content is that there's no repetition. The Investor Relations side sticks to strategies and governance. The Environment bit talks about environmental nuts and bolts.
And the 160 page Social and Environmental Report towers over it all, accounting for the company's progress against the principles of the UN Global Compact and how it is contributing towards the Millennium Development Goals.
A Small Advantage
Before getting too carried away, it's worth remembering Petrobras is 57% state owned and has tripled its market value in the last two years. It's active social engagement programme is almost certainly driven by politicians seeking to redirect astounding profits for the good of the electorate.
However the main purpose of this blog is not to comment upon a company's specific activities or how those activities are reported, but how both are covered on the company's website.
From that point of view, Petrobras have gone further and deeper that any other into integrating their sustainability reporting into their everyday business activities.
It can only be hoped that others will follow their example, for as the website points out:
You don't win admiration: you earn it.

HOUSTON, April 26, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sanchez Energy Corporation (NYSE:SN) ("Sanchez Energy" or the "Company"), today announced operating results for the first quarter of 2017. Highlights include:
- As previously announced, Sanchez Energy along with Blackstone Energy Partners ("Blackstone") in a 50/50 partnership closed the acquisition of working interests in approximately 318,000 gross operated acres in the Western Eagle Ford on March 1, 2017 (the "Comanche Transaction"), resulting in adding approximately 67,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day ("Boe/d") of production, 300 million barrels of oil equivalent ("MMBoe") of proved reserves, and 155,000 net acres;
- First quarter production, which includes one month of Comanche production, totaled approximately 4.6 MMBoe, or approximately 51,800 Boe/d, net of previously divested production which was approximately 3,700 Boe/d;
- With the closing of the Comanche Transaction and the ongoing production increase from legacy assets, the Company is currently producing at a record level of approximately 76,000 Boe/d;
- Completion operations on the large inventory of drilled but uncompleted ("DUC") wells acquired in the Comanche Transaction began in early March 2017, with the first 9 DUC wells brought on-line in mid-April 2017;
- The Company has completed contracting of major services to support drilling plans and mitigate the risk of inflationary pressure on its cost structure, with sand, pressure pumping, and drilling rigs now contracted for the next two years;
- Drilling activity at Comanche currently consists of 3 rigs with 2 additional rigs planned in May 2017;
- The Company brought 14 wells on-line in the South Central region of Catarina in the first quarter 2017 using a new generation of frac design that is 60% larger than the previous design used in this region.
"During the first quarter of 2017, we took a major step towards positioning Sanchez Energy among the leading producers in the Eagle Ford Shale," said Tony Sanchez, III, Chief Executive Officer of Sanchez Energy. "After months of careful planning and preparation, drilling and completion operations on the newly acquired acreage began quickly and efficiently after closing the Comanche Transaction on March 1, 2017. Completion operations began at Comanche within days of closing the transaction, resulting in initial production from the completion of the first 9 DUC wells in only 45 days. We are currently running 3 drilling rigs, 2 frac spreads, and 3 workover rigs at Comanche, with plans to add additional rigs and completion equipment as the year progresses. Production from the initial DUC wells that were recently completed has been strong and so far has exceed expectations.
"In addition to assuming operations at Comanche, the Company brought 14 horizontal wells on-line in the South Central region of Catarina during the first quarter 2017. These wells were completed with proppant loading of approximately 3,000 pounds per foot, which is 60 percent more proppant and fluids compared to our standard design. The move to a larger completion design in the South Central region of Catarina stems from tests conducted in this area over the last year. Based on the results of this testing, we anticipate the new design will result in a flatter decline profile with payout in as little as six months and performance that is roughly 25% better than our standard completion work after 6 months of operation.
"As we make a step-change in our operational scale, we continue to maintain a focus on well costs. Excluding the cost of the larger completion work we are realizing an average of 10 percent to 15 percent service cost inflation, which is in line with expectations. That being said, we have now completed contracting of major services to support drilling plans for the next two years, with fixed price arrangements in place for sand, pressure pumping, and drilling rigs, among other services. We believe these arrangements will allow us to maintain our cost structure and de-bundled approach to procurement despite the current pressure on the services market."
As previously announced, the Company has hedged approximately 80 percent of the oil and natural gas volumes from the proved developed producing reserves of the acquired Comanche assets with swaps at prices of $55.85 per barrel ("Bbl") and $3.26 per million British thermal units ("MMBtu") from April 2017 through September 2018, and $53.52 per Bbl and $2.82 per MMBtu from October 2018 through March 2020. Additionally, the Company has hedged 7,000 Bbls per day of its 2017 oil production and approximately 100 MMBtus per day of its 2017 natural gas production from legacy assets. Additional information on the Company's hedge positions can be found in the Sanchez Energy Investor Presentation posted at www.sanchezenergycorp.com.
During the first quarter 2017, the Company spud 33 gross (28.8 net) wells and completed 19 gross (16 net) wells.
Total well costs at Catarina during the first quarter 2017 averaged approximately $3.9 million per well as the Company tested significantly enhanced completion designs. South Central Catarina wells were completed with approximately 3,000 pounds per foot of proppant, which is an increase of approximately 60 percent when compared to well designs used in 2016. At Maverick, the Company is in the process of drilling 27 wells on the Hausser lease and completion activity on these wells is expected to begin early in the third quarter of 2017.
During the first quarter of 2017, the Company brought 14 wells on-line at Catarina. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had completed 69 wells towards its 50 well annual drilling commitment at Catarina, which runs from July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017. Accordingly, the Company has already banked 19 wells towards next year's annual drilling commitment and is on pace to reach 30 wells banked by June 30, 2017.
As of March 31, 2017, the Company had 2,060 gross (821 net) producing wells with 169 gross wells in various stages of completion, as detailed in the following table:
|Project Area
Producing Wells
Wells Waiting/ Undergoing Completion
|TMS / Other
The Company's estimated total production for the first quarter 2017 averaged approximately 51,800 Boe/d. This rate of production is in-line with expectations, and the Company believes it remains on pace to hit its full year 2017 production guidance of 78,000 to 82,000 Boe/d. The Company's production mix during the first quarter of 2017 consisted of approximately 33% oil, 29% natural gas liquids, and 38% natural gas.

Incentive as a Component of Salesman Compensation Structure
Mohit Pandey
Sales Management-Section D
What are Incentives?
It is defined as a type of additional remuneration either in cash or kind given to an employee as a means of increasing output or as a motivational influence.
Why do we need to give incentives?
Firstly incentives work as psychological stimulant for a person to perform better. Incentives act like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Secondly, the turnover rate of a salesperson is very high and also the cost of replacing a salesperson is also quite high, approximately around $40-50k. Thus to retain the best talent in the company we need to provide adequate incentives to the sales force. The salesperson spends most of his time out in the field and this makes it quite difficult to monitor him. Incentives act as an automatic monitor to make sure that the salesperson is working towards achieving his sales targets.
What are the types of Incentives given to a Salesman?
The salesman compensation structure is divided into two parts: Fixed Salary and Variable Salary. In a totally risk-free situation there would be no fixed salary, the salesman compensation would consist only of 100% Commissions. But since the market is never 100% risk-free and also because of longer order-cycles the compensation plan has some amount as Fixed Salary. The types of Incentives are:
* Cash: This is most widely given type of incentive. Everyone knows that the major lure in a salesman's job is the opportunity to earn a lot of money and cash incentives are a major component. Cash incentives can be segregated into two sub-types:
* Commissions: It is directly to the sales volume. Example: 5% commission on every T.V sold. It can either be calculated on the profit margin or on the price of the product. Commission are short-term incentives and lead to increase in the sales effort put in by the salesman.
* Bonus: It is given if the salesman achieves a desired no. of sales known as sales target/quota. It is calculated on the base pay. It is a medium/long term incentive depending on whether it is given quarterly or annually.
* Non-Cash: These are generally not counted as a part of the compensation plan. They are given to motivate the salesman and based on performance in the long term. Non-cash incentives include: * Gift Cards
* Merchandise
* Travel
What parameters are used to determine incentives?
Generally the ratio of incentives as a percentage of the total compensation decreases as you go up the hierarchical structure. At a salesman level it can go up to 100% of his base pay while at the manager level it can vary from 40-60%. The parameters generally used to determine incentives are:
* Total revenue
* New revenue
* Gross profit
* Price realization
* Units sold
* Select product sales
* New products
* Outdated products
* New accounts
* Retained accounts
* Account expansion
* Customer satisfaction
* First order
* Order volume
* Contract commitment
* Key sales objectives or milestones
The parameters used should be aligned with the business strategy of the company. For e.g. If a company is launching a new product into the market through the existing sales force, then it doesn't make sense for the company to not have the sales nos. of the new product sold as playing a part in deciding the incentive level of the salesman. Normally only few parameters should be selected so as to make the compensation plan clear to the salesman. The compensation plan should be as clear to the salesman as possible so that he can easily calculate how much he can earn in that year. The sales target being set should be realistic and achievable. Ideally sales targets should be set after a discussion between the management and the salesperson both. Ideally incentives should not have an upper-cap, this deters the high...

Noro Bowls
"You're going to knit bowls? What can you put in a knit bowl?" Said everyone (except Kelly!).
You can put almost anything in a knit bowl!
I saw these in a Noro magazine a few years back and then kicked myself for not buying it. Enter Ravelry and I found where I could buy the pattern, Felted Bowls, even though the magazine was out of print. Thank you Ravelry!!!! I also have a serious love for Noro. Those colors, I just want to fill my world with those colors. Specifically its Hitsuji, a big squishy, seriously wooly stuff. I forgot where I bought it, but I had to get it online because not a lot of people seem to stock this stuff (at least when I got it). The yarn was a Christmas present from my wonderful in-laws, thank you Pam and Jim!
The pattern was easy, but I didn't quite trust I was doing it correctly at first. This was also my first time felting anything (on purpose), which was slightly terrifying. The bowl on the right is more felted, the one in the middle is the least felted. They were all felted at different times. I think because the felting was so inconsistent, I didn't get the nesting effect that the pattern shows. I'll probably one day felt that middle one a bit more.
Shaping these wasn't the easiest thing in the world. You might able to tell the middle of the knitting circle isn't the middle of the bowl. Kind of like an off-center belly button. I have a slightly off-center belly button so it makes me feel better about myself. Lol. When the bowls are filled, who cares where the center is located? That's a deep thought man.
So what can you put into a knit bowl? I have one of work, I toss everything in there, pens, candy, hand lotion. At home, house keys, headbands, change, lipgloss. Great for keeping my messes contained!

First Online: 12 December 2016Received: 20 April 2016Accepted: 30 November 2016
BackgroundMedical training can be a challenging and emotionally intense period for medical students. However the emotions experienced by medical students in the face of challenging situations and the emotion regulation strategies they use remains relatively unexplored. The aim of the present study was to explore the emotions elicited by memorable incidents reported by medical students and the associated emotion regulation strategies.
MethodsPeer interviewing was used to collect medical students' memorable incidents. Medical students at both preclinical and clinical stage of medical school were eligible to participate. In total 104 medical students provided memorable incidents. Only 54 narratives included references to emotions and emotion regulation and thus were further analyzed.
ResultsThe narratives of 47 clinical and 7 preclinical students were further analyzed for their references to emotions and emotion regulation strategies. Forty seven out of 54 incidents described a negative incident associated with negative emotions. The most frequently mentioned emotion was shock and surprise followed by feelings of embarrassment, sadness, anger and tension or anxiety. The most frequent reaction was inaction often associated with emotion regulation strategies such as distraction, focusing on a task, suppression of emotions and reappraisal. When students witnessed mistreatment or disrespect exhibited towards patients, the regulation strategy used involved focusing and comforting the patient.
ConclusionsThe present study sheds light on the strategies medical students use to deal with intense negative emotions. The vast majority reported inaction in the face of a challenging situation and the use of more subtle strategies to deal with the emotional impact of the incident.

Since users can stream and listen to music for free on mobile devices through its service, lots of people outside the US want to know how to stream Spotify.
Free music on your mobile device
In case you didn't know, Spotify is a service that harnesses the cloud to deliver music on demand to mobile and computer users all over the world. Instead of people buying each track or album to listen to as is the usual practice, Spotify buys the rights to the music and then allows its free users to listen to tracks on their mobile devices. You get to play the music offline as well when you're a premium user.
The only catch for non-US citizens
The only catch is that you have to live in a country that supports Spotify. For people who are traveling a lot or expats, they might miss the awesome cloud-based music service and knowing how to stream Spotify. Just imagine the disappointment when you know how to stream Spotify outside US for one country and see that it isn't possible in another.
How to stream Spotify outside the US
So if you're interested in learning how to Stream Spotify outside the US, here are the steps:
1. Find a proxy server for a supported country, preferably UK.
Essentially, a proxy server switches your internet connection to route through a different country, which makes Spotify think that that you're in one of their supported countries. There are a lot of free proxy servers online with limited bandwidth allocation. You can also pay for a proxy server at low prices to get unlimited data to stream. UK Spotify services usually let you change your profile information so we recommend using a UK proxy server.
2. Sign up for a new Spotify account with your email or Facebook account.
You'll need a Facebook account if you want to know how to stream Spotify outside the US. Make sure that you're on the UK proxy server while you're signing up and logging in to your new Spotify account.
3. Once you've logged in, edit your profile.
When you edit your profile, go to the personal information tab and change your country to the United Kingdom. This way, you know how to steam Spotify outside the US through a proxy server.
4. Install Spotify on your computer or mobile device but make sure you go through the proxy server first.
It's essential that you're on the server while you're streaming music so Spotify thinks you're in a supported country. Now you can enjoy free music wherever you go or travel.
In the end, knowing how to stream Spotify outside the US just involves being able to change your server and trick the service into thinking you're in a supported country.

It takes a lot of blood, sweat, and elbow grease to design the likes of Pikachu and Squirtle.
Did you think that Game Freak designed Pokemon's creatures by using Mad Libs? Or by throwing a dart at a board covered with various elements and animals? Me too, but apparently the process is more involved. Pokemon developer Game Freak recently talked about the process that goes into designing its creatures in an interview with Famitsu magazine.
Game Freak has a design team made up of 17 people that each draw every sort of Pokemon that they can dream up, and the good and bad are weeded out in group meetings. "There's no particular number that each designer needs to create," Pokemon 3D art director Takao Unno said. "But they come up with far, far more designs than actually get included in the game."
Pokemon themselves have been inspired by everything from electric turbines to circus seals. Game Freak founder Ken Sugimori said that the legendary Pokemon gracing the covers of Pokemon Black & White were meant to be powerful dragons, but their tails are "based off of those electric turbines you see, and they give the impression that they're these great big generators of fire or electric energy."
On the other hand, Pokemon Black & White's starters were inspired by things more whimsical. Pokabu, a fire-pig, was designed around the fact that pigs roll in mud. It shoots fire out of its snout to cool off instead of getting all dirty. Mijumaru, a water type, had his final evolution designed according to inspiration from a "trained-seal show at the Sunshine International Aquarium in Ikebukuro," said designer Yusuke Ohmura. These seals seemed extremely powerful, so Ohmura incorporated that power into his design.
Unno and Sugimori both said that while Pokemon might seem like an easy game to create, it's not. There are now hundreds of creatures, and they all need their own individual frames of animation, especially in Black & White's new battle system. Unno said: "Since we have the Pokemon constantly moving during battle, we had to decide how each one would act when executing this or that move, or what they should look like when they were put to sleep or whatever. It was a lot more work than I ever imagined it'd be."
"Since you can bring in your old Pokemon after finishing the story, we also had to add new animation to all of the Pokemon in the book," Sugimori added. "It was just a massive quantity of work, and I really respect everyone on the team for plowing through it." Well, if you want to be the very best, I guess you've got to work hard. I don't think referring to the Pokemon song will ever get old.

Naughty But Nice is a gorgeous, Grey-toned, pastel Lilac creme. It applied well with minimal streaking on the first coat, I used 2 coats for the photos below. As with all eye CANDY Nail Polishes I have tried, the formula is amazing, it honestly is up there with the greats such as OPI/China Glaze. The finish is smooth and extremely glossy, the photos don't quite do it justice.

|Direct Sunlight
As I mentioned, you can find eye CANDY products in 408 Sainsburys stores nationwide. Their Core Colours range retails for £5 each and come in 12 different shades. Unfortunately for my international readers, eye CANDY Nail Polishes are solely available from Sainsburys, but I am told they will eventually be expanding to selected online retailers in the future! To make sure you don't miss out on the latest news, be sure to add eye CANDY to Facebook (here & here) and also follow them on Twitter!

I say those developers need to change their view/attitude towards user@ and realize that replying to a "HELP: No pipeline matched blabla !!!" post benefits cocoon as much as (for example) fleshing out the next gen container architecture.

For added protection, install a moisture-resistant sheetrock to add to the durability of your wine cellar. It should be waterproof and can be covered with a non-aromatic paint. Your wine cellar is dark and damp much of the time. Some of this can be attributed to the location of the wine cellar and some can be attributed to the wine cellar cooling unit. The more materials you can use that are moisture-resistant or waterproof, the longer your wine cellar will last without requiring major improvements.

What We Learn from Two Sentences Written By Mr. Rogers
The summer before my senior year of college, I interned at Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. Fred Rogers had passed away the year before. The legendary show had been in re-runs for years. The Neighborhood – managed by Family Communications, Inc., at the time – was working on a series of special projects, but for the most part maintaining a low-profile after decades of not simply production – but international fame and success.
How that summer internship experience came about was a testament to both my and The Neighborhood's quirky characters. My mom gave me a book of advice by Mr. Rogers that previous Christmas. Having devoured the show as a kid, I devoured the book in one sitting. And I got to thinking about what they – 'they' as in the show's writers, producers, staff – were up to now. Their offices were located at WQED Pittsburgh, maybe 25 minutes from where we lived. I looked at their website, but there was no indication as to whether there were summer intern positions. And so – I wrote them a letter. And I asked if there were internship opportunities. A couple of weeks later, I received an email from their office. And then, home for Spring Break, I found myself in their office waiting room, staring at an enclosed case with Emmy statutes. I met with David Newell, their Director of Public Relations, who also played the mailman, Mr. McFeely on the show. They hadn't had an intern in awhile, but it was something they were interested in working with me on. I didn't care about a paycheck. I started when I returned home for summer break in June.
Being there as an intern wasn't really about anything other than learning from and absorbing what this team was capable of producing for generations of children. As plentiful of the boxes and boxes of memorabilia were, so, too, were the plentiful friends of the show who would stop by. It was a revolving door of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood show celebrities who would stop into the office. Mr. Rogers' widow, Joanne Rogers, was among them. I was in awe almost every day that I was there. And yet as joyful as these Neighborhood reunions were there was a dark, sacred and magical office there in the corner – it had belonged to Fred Rogers. It hadn't been touched since he'd left the last time. I've never been in a room so quiet, yet pulsing with imagination and memory.
I spent the majority of my time there that summer sorting through and organizing photographs and memorabilia – show notes, fan letters, fliers from appearances made by Mr. McFeely and the purple panda over the years.
It wasn't until a couple of weeks later that I realized a piece of paper with Mr. Rogers' handwriting had fallen into my handbag – it was a scrap of paper with his handwriting. It was was either a note to himself or a note to an assistant about how to respond to this particular fan letter, which I hadn't seen or read.
"Sometimes all we can do is to accept others as they are and "know" that traditions change through generations. This family is living proof of that."
It's been 13 years since I interned there. I still keep that piece of paper in the wallet I carry with me every, single day.
I think about this quotation written by Mr. Rogers a lot, too.
And here's why:
I vs. We.
It would have been SO SIMPLE for him to write 'I' into that sentence. "Sometimes all I can do is to accept others as they are…" But he didn't write 'I' – he wrote 'we'. It's classic Mr. Rogers, yes, but also a move to get all of us thinking more 'we' versus 'I'. What can we accept and what can we not accept? What are we capable of? What can we create?
Things change.
Yes, things change. Duh. But there are anchors in our life that stay the same. We most likely refer to those anchors as "the way it is" or habits or customs or traditions. And it's okay when the traditions change, too. Traditions change because people change – they change through generations, through cultural shifts, through personality shifts. And that's okay.
What are we each living proof of?
Given the fact this slip of paper is just that – a slip of paper – I have no context to the situation to which he was referring or the family to whom he is addressing. But regardless, it makes me think – what are we each living proof of? What is our life, our story, or our legacy a testament to?
These two sentences are so small. Yet, so mighty. Mighty philosophically in and of themselves, but also mighty in how we choose to use those sentences to look at our brands, our businesses, and our legacies.
Here are ten questions derived from those two small, but mighty sentences that you can apply to yourself, your work, or your business:
- How often do you use 'we' versus 'I'?
- How often does your team use 'we' versus 'I'? Or pockets of people on your team? (Side note: Why are there even pockets of people who use 'we'?)
- Where can you use 'we' more strategically – and where can you use 'I' more strategically?
- What are you (as in 'I') willing to accept versus what are you (as in 'we') willing to accept?
- Are those two acceptance "lists" the same or are they different – if different, why?
- What's changing right now or what's not changing at all?
- What are your traditions, and why?
- What traditions do you want to stay the same, and what traditions need to change?
- What are you and/or your family or your community living proof of?
- What's your business or your work living proof of?
Breaking down and dissecting these one or two sentences reminds me of when you'd diagram a sentence in fifth grade. Noun, subject, verb, conjunction, noun. (Not in that order, obviously.)
What this is though is diagramming thought – a challenge to you to break down a thought and how it best applies to you or a challenge to you to be more strategic or precise with your words, language or meaning. Or maybe it's both.
Regardless, I've kept this slip of paper in my wallet for so many years because it holds big meaning that can be interpreted in a lot of unique and mindful ways. I think that's a fitting honor to Mr. Rogers on what would have been his 89th birthday today, March 20, 2017.

morning song
Every morning, starting around sunrise, the evening grosbeaks gather in the upper branches of this aspen tree near the house, chirping loudly. Get about thirty or forty of them chirping, and it's a raucous, joyful cacophony. They do this for about half an hour before descending on the sunflower seed feeder in waves of black, white, yellow, and gray.
I don't know why they are called "evening" grosbeaks; they are really morning birds.

I used to see big flocks of evening grosbeaks like you describe, but have not had them come through for several years now. They are quite a showy bunch!

Oh, what a treat this must be! I had a pair of them visiting my backyard for a few days many years ago in early summer.
I suppose I could add that to my life list; never thought about that, since I wasn't "counting" at that time.

Interview Choki Lindberg – Grand Salon and Please wait here
1) Your photograph depicts the actual space it is displayed in, but something dramatic has happened - can you describe the scenario?
It's unclear what exactly has happened, but one might imagine that a good deal of time has passed. There has been a fire. Murky water has flooded the space, plants have crept through the windows and walls have crumbled. There is no human presence to tell the story. It is all up to our imagination..
2) The details in the photograph are hyper real, and at the same time it is a surreal scenario – could you explain how you create this effect?
I build everything in miniature and then I photograph it. So you look at a highly detailed photograph, which you believe in, but then there is this shift in scale and a clumsiness that the miniature gives the objects, which reveals that it's not real. I hope people can sense this disruption, while also being seduced by it. Almost everything is handmade. From the carved legs of the chairs, to cling foil wrapped wire that appears as glass ornaments in the chandelier. It's quite a labour intensive way of producing a photograph. I use original materials wherever possible, for example, to fill a miniature sofa, I have split an old couch to get the filling. This in itself is something I enjoy, and I think you sense it in the work. I also hope people will take the time to engage, and immerse them selves in the image. The simple fact that time and effort has gone into making it, counters the speed that images are often produced with these days – I like this slow and meticulous process.
3) You have burnt off a painting, flooded the room and blasted a wall – the memento mori is inescapable?
The desire to preserve and immortalize things can be obsessive. It's human to want to leave a mark on this world, but its delusional. Nothing, however solid and impressive it may appear, is permanent. High or low we are all a part of the same cycle. We have become so used to seeing disasters hit those who have the least, but what about this kind of environment. Maybe at some point none of us are going to be here, and a new and better species will evolve – who knows.
4) Your other work is a piece entitled Please wait here – could you describe the character of the chair?
The embassy environment has an air of opulence and times long passed, that makes it difficult to relate to. Everything is beautiful but stagnant somehow. The chair is a kind of response to that.
The chair is in a state of extreme decay. At first glance it appears to be one of the chairs from the embassy, but on closer inspection, you will find subtle differences such as the shape, which is not quite right, and the upholstery which is not woven in the same pattern. The details give it away as an imposter, an outsider, leaving you to question its belonging and neglect.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
Forum Moderators: anallawalla & bakedjake
Its official, EVERYONE now sells Google and Yahoo and EVERYONE thinks they are an agency.
Stick around, please. Share more of your thoughts.
i must say i find this interesting:
"Our biggest challenge is these people are giving us more money than we can spend in our network," he said. "We've secured $65 million in budgets, but we're not able to spend that in our own network. There's a lot more money in that existing pool of advertisers. If we could spend all of what they gave us, they would increase their budgets even more."
followed by:
The campaigns will initially be sold on a flat fee basis, but that's likely to change.
"We'll be adjusting our... fee structures, " said Chandler. "We're going to be moving more to a percentage of spend going forward. That lines up more with how existing SEMs charge."
This from a company with an existing bidded inventory model.
One may be argue that concentrating on one's own product development/destination needs, as opposed to ad distribution trends may be in the long term best interest of an organization not prone to changing as quickly as other value-add aggregators. One whose traditional life-line has been destination and advertiser value.
Shoot. Nevermind. Everything changes, when I remind myself that right now it is just about *getting* and *spending* the SME's first interactive ad dollars.
Of course Verizon and Google are strong partners.
Of course Google and BellSouth, and SmartPages, and YellowPages, and Dex are strong partners.
...Looking beyong today ~I know, its hard in Local Search ~ Where can a partnership like this lead to?
A quicker death of Yellow, a quicker legal marriage between G/Y and Telco, a much needed life-line for Yellow as they transition to into its own web-safe color?

Many regional business owners lacking the time and expertise to manage a self-service search marketing campaign.
And they don't have the time to seek out a good provider either, so they go to the largest, most convenient source.
I sometimes like to use models from physics to describe human behavior. In this case, I'd draw a rough analogy with the principles of gravitational attraction....
f =G(M1M2/d2)
"f" is the force of gravity
"G" is the gravitational constant
"M1" is the mass of object 1
"M2" is the mass of object 2
"d" is the distance between the two objects
...ie, the force of gravity between two objects is proportional to the product of their masses, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
To get a given force, "f"... if M1 is very small, then M2 must be very large.
Similarly, as the distance between the objects increases, for a given force, the product of the masses has to go up exponentially. If M1 is very small and "d" is large, then M2 needs to grow huge to attract M1. I won't belabor this, and I may not really be saying anything new, but I think it's a helpful view.
The article concludes...
Earlier this month, Verizon SuperPages.com revamped its Web site, and the company recently partnered with Martindale Hubble and Psychology Today to offer users searchable listings on lawyers and psychologists by region.
I'm reminded that, six years ago, I consulted on structuring and optimizing a regional directory of psychologists, to start in the Bay Area and ultimately go national. I still have the NDA in my filing cabinet, but the domain is no longer registered and I think I'm safe in mentioning it. The project never could get enough listings locally to be useful to anyone. Seems obvious now that large companies would be required, but, at the time, the major players who perhaps can achieve this critical mass had hardly begun to evolve.
The campaigns will initially be sold on a flat fee basis, but that's likely to change.
"We'll be adjusting our... fee structures, " said Chandler. "We're going to be moving more to a percentage of spend going forward. That lines up more with how existing SEMs charge."
It sounds like the model may not be a guaranteed click model like the other large SME aggregators have instituted. If that is the case, I believe this would be the first instance of a large SME aggregator not adopting the guaranteed click model. I for one hope their gamble proves successful for the sake of pushing the market further along the adoption curve in understanding and comfort with a PPC spend.
Robert, I love the physics analogy. I remember Jake using a reference to Occam's razor in some post once as well. It provides an interesting perspective on business.
Google & Yahoo are taking everyone's $$ right now, but at some point the collective spend of all these advertisers earns them repeat users who user Google/Yahoo/MSN that much less and type in URLs or click bookmarks that much more often.

Georgia vs LSU live stream: Predicting the winner, plus start time and how to watch online
Click Here To Watch Now
LSU suffered its first loss of an otherwise impressive 2018 when it fell in Gainesville last week. That isn't enough to crush head coach Ed Orgeron's SEC title hopes — but a loss on Saturday against No. 2 Georgia would be.
Last week's loss to Florida relinquished the Tigers' claim to the top spot in the SEC West, and another could push Alabama out of reach even with a win over the Crimson Tide in November. They'll have their mettle tested against a Bulldog team whose closest win in a 6-0 start was a 14-point triumph over Missouri.
Georgia vs LSU Live stream NCAA Football
Georgia's overpowering offense has made last year's run to the National Championship Game look like no fluke, even without Sony Michel or Nick Chubb in the lineup. Jake Fromm's averaging more than 10.5 yards per pass this fall and has recorded a 12:2 TD:INT ratio, while a tailback platoon led by Elijah Holyfield and D'Andre Swift is racking up nearly 250 yards per game on six yards per carry. On Saturday, they'll have to show out against UGA's toughest test of the season so far — an LSU defense that's already survived tests against two top-10 opponents to start its season.
The Bulldogs are the No. 2 team in the AP poll and No. 3 in the latest round of the S&P+ rankings. LSU sits at No. 19, as the computers clearly aren't impressed with the Tigers' early wins over Auburn and Miami as voters are. LSU is playing at home, has faced a tougher schedule so far, and has already beaten two top-10 teams in 2018. The spread says it's a bad idea, but let's say the Tigers win this one thanks to a late Cole Tracy field goal.
- Time: 3:30 p.m. ET
- Location: Tiger Stadium, Baton Rouge, LA
- Streaming: SEC on CBS, fuboTV
- Odds: Georgia is favored by 7.5 points.
Georgia's had a relatively easy path to 6-0, but that road winds through some icy, mountainous roads en route to another berth in the College Football Playoff. LSU is the beginning of a four-game stretch where the Bulldogs will face nothing but ranked opponents, including Florida, Kentucky, and
UMass Auburn. Losing in Death Valley could be the start of a spiral for UGA — but a win could be a launchpad that leads the team to an even better finish than 2017's.

No crash rise after camera switch off in Northamptonshire
The switching off of road speed cameras in Northamptonshire has made no difference to the number of accidents, an independent study has found.
When the county council first installed speed cameras at 41 separate sites in the mid 2000s, there was a reduction of about 50% in the number of crashes.
But new research by Road Safety Analysis has looked at the result of the cameras being switched off in 2011.
It found the turn-off did not have a significant effect on crash numbers.
The report found that the number of collisions in the county compared with the number near cameras continued to fall at about the same rate after 2011.
'Behaviour unchanged'
Road traffic expert Richard Owen, who wrote the report, said that when the council decided to switch off the cameras some people "said that it would be a disaster and there would be a rise in casualties... but this has not happened".
Mr Owen, operations director of Road Safety Analysis, concluded: "Motorists may still be under the impression that the cameras are working as the housings are regularly maintained and not covered in bags stating they are out of use."
He added the study suggests fixed speed cameras do not need to be loaded regularly to cut accidents.
"This could significantly change how cameras are operated nationally with the potential to reduce costs associated with the loading and processing of offences," he said.
A spokesman for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) said: "Speed cameras have and continue to play an important role in managing motorists speed by acting as a visual deterrent.
"The sight of a fixed camera, even though they know that it is likely to be deactivated, still influences their driving behaviour as they are unwilling to take the risk."
Northamptonshire County Council has yet to comment.

text: Another double blog entry, conveniently dealing with two comparable events. While I was down in London for my Morris Pert recital at Schott's, I was engaged to take part in an event at Woodend Barn, Banchory as part of the 2013 Sound Festival-the remarkable festival of contemporary music focussed in Aberdeen annually in November. This particular event was a performance-Installation in the form of a group improvisation by members of the illustrious Red Note Ensemble with local musicians under the direction of Glaswegian resident artist Torsten Lauschmann.The installation was called"Inconsistent Whisper": 9 instruments improvised within certain parameters indicated by different coloured lights as operated by the artist. My instrument on this occasion was the melodica, the others being 2 recorders,2 guitars,saxophone, cello,percussion and an example of the first Yamaha instrument: a small harmonium. Just over a month later I played a Clavinova in piano mode in another performance-installation at Arbroath's Hospitalfield House: this was the first Scottish appearance of Bedfordshire based (but curiously Scottish named) Andy Holden. His "8 short pieces in time" accompanied films and animations. Local musicians played strings and clarinet under the direction of Robert Dick,conductor of Dundee Symphony Orchestra. The music was in a generally minimalist idiom, and included a quartet which alluded to Messiaen's famous work for the same forces, but from a Satiesque angle.
