How Do You Measure Success On Social Media?
Posted by Mitch Wagner, Feb 13, 2009 01:55 PM
I got active on social media in 2007, when I became a Twitter addict, and continued all through last year, expanding my social media empire onto LinkedIn, Facebook, Flickr, FriendFeed, Tumblr, and more. But recently, I've hit a bit of a wall. It's not that I'm pulling back from social media involvement -- I'm still hooked. But I'm having a tough time figuring out what the next step is. I'm having a tough time figuring out what the business value of all this is, or will be. And I can't really figure out how to measure success.
Yes, I know what the social media evangelists say. After all, I'm one of them. Social media lets you have a conversation with your customers, partners, and suppliers. They'll let you know what they think of what you're doing, giving you feedback for free that you can't buy with expensive customer satisfaction surveys and focus groups.
And that's all great -- but how do you know if you're succeeding at social media? How do you know what you're doing right, what you're doing wrong, what needs changing, and what approaches need to be abandoned entirely?
On the regular Internet, the pre-social media Web, we measure success a number of ways:
- Money is the big one. How much revenue is your site bringing in?
- Traffic is a proxy for money - you figure if you rack up page views, money will follow. .
- Number of comments on your Web content.
- Quality of comments - unquantifiable but at least it's visible.
- Inbound links: Tough to quantify but you figure if you're getting a lot of people linking to and commenting on your articles on their own blogs, you must be doing something right.
But how do you measure success on social media?
Money isn't an issue -- nobody's found a good way to generate profits directly off of social media. Even Facebook isn't profitable. (Second Life, on the other hand, is profitable -- take that, all you people who say that Second Life is a failure).
It's not the number of friends and followers you have. I'm proud of having 1,826 followers on Twitter and 480 Facebook friends (although I know that many people have orders of magnitude more), but I'm aware that it's foolish pride, like having the world's largest collection of bottlecaps or blowing the world's biggest soap bubble. My parents would have said: "That and a nickel will get you a cup of coffee." (Obviously, this was an expression my parents learned long before the Starbucks era of $5 coffees.)
I have a couple of pieces of evidence that I use to determine whether I'm being successful at using a particular social media platform: I feel that I'm being successful if I'm gaining followers on a day-by-day basis, and getting replies to my posts. If my posts are being ignored, then I feel like I've failed. That's a major reason why I concentrate most of my social media efforts on Twitter; its where I get the most feedback.
When people ask me what the value of social media is, I respond "It's like a hallway conversation at a good conference. The hallway conversations and receptions at conferences are more valuable than the actual programming, because that's where you make connections with new business associates. Social media is like a great hallway conversation that goes on 24x7, around the world, and you never have to leave your desk to participate."
And yet that seems unsatisfying. I want better metrics. I want better ways to figure out whether I'm succeeding using social media, what parts of my social media efforts are working, and what needs to be changed or abandoned.
How do you measure success at social media? How do you figure out whether you're doing it right?

Demi Lovato and Miley Cyrus may have developed a close friendship as they both rose to fame on the Disney Channel, but the besties have definitely gone their separate ways over the years. So much so that in a radio interview Monday, November 24, the Sonny With a Chance star awkwardly responded that she and Miley are just acquaintances when asked about their friendship.
The 22-year-old was answering fan questions on the air with Boston's The TJ Show, when a caller asked if she and Miley were still friends. She responded with a long pause, followed by, "Umm, yeah ... that. We're, like, acquaintances."
She explained herself further, saying that they have drifted apart in recent years, as Miley has made partying her priority and Demi has made sobriety hers. "Yeah, it's life and people change," she admitted. "And you, know, I don't have anything in common with her anymore, and I wish her all the best."
Demi has not been shy about overcoming her demons, which included bulimia, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and self-medicating with drugs and alcohol, so it's no wonder she doesn't feel like she has much in common with Miley, who just threw herself a penis-and-cannabis-themed birthday party over the weekend.
More from The Stir: Demi Lovato Speaks Out on Her Feud With Selena Gomez
A source close to Lovato said there may be a bit more to the story than the former Disney stars just growing apart. Apparently she cares about her image and doesn't want to be associated with anyone who parties like they just don't care.
The insider dished to E! News, "Miley is a wild card and Demi has made a point of not surrounding herself with people [who party too much]" and added that "Demi's sobriety is very important to her."
"Demi tries to be reserved in public and cares very much about how she is perceived," the source continued, before mentioning an awkward social situation between the two.
"About six months ago at a small gathering, both Miley and Demi were there. They were in the same room for only a few moments, and it was super-awkward, very girly high-school, pretending to ignore each other. They didn't speak, they didn't even make eye contact."
Wowza! It sounds like Demi and Miley have officially become frenemies. I guess if that's the case, it's nice that Demi can just say they've grown apart and leave it at that.
Do you think Demi and Miley will ever be close friends again?

The best revenge is "no revenge".
Forward with life.
Easy answers.
The best revenge is no revenge.
The added saying to that is about Karma dishing out what someone else deserves or hopefully God let's you watch.
I don't care of those that hurt me in the past that Karma gets them or has gotten them.
I am more focused on things I'm doing in my own life.
Before social media we just went with the flow and kept growing and just growing.
Of course in things I do many can see and I have nothing to hide.
It doesn't matter about the past and even if people did hurt me in the past or any guy, I learned to keep focus on the here and now with what is going on my life.
I am content and I can breathe.
People that come to see my life, know I do not live with drama in my life and those that around me can also breathe easily too.
My life doesn't really have much complications in it anymore and I like that.
Sometimes less is better and I learned quite awhile ago, to subtract and only add on with anyone that is going to add to my life and not take away from it.
Going forward is easier than I ever thought.
Advancement in my own life can happen, but I am the one that has to make it happen and no one else.
If you want to become successful in your own life, you need to take steps to ensure your future or if you don't your future is going to basically going to be the same, like how your present is now in which you really want to have a better future in the first place.
If you keep looking to see that other people are happy and it makes you angry deep down inside, there is something wrong with you.
That means you are not happy and thus you have made yourself unhappy because you are literally pissed off because people made their own way and life and became successful in their own way.
I learned (and yes repeating myself) that those that did me wrong, the best thing to do is to move with my own flow and keep going.
Even if the farther future might be at a distance and this is an example in my own life;
I want six pack abs.
Now granted to get the six pack abs it will be in my "farther future" but here and now I focus on the gym and going and working on defining my 6 pack abs with exercise at the gym.
Granted nutrition is a big part too, but in the present at least i am taking steps to getting 6 pack abs.
Now, I know people have money there are tons of short cuts to get 6 pack abs, like getting a stomach operation, botox, liposuction and many things, but the hard "continued" work will have to follow to keep 6 pack abs.
I think in what I am doing is building up from the inside out.
Yes, it is continued hard work, but in working hard to get 6 pack abs I am happy to start seeing results after a month.
Granted I do see when I eat some junk food my stomach does get a little bit bloated but working it off with working out extra I still once and while can have a fun junk day but have to remember that I can't just consume terrible foods or junk foods all the time because I will never achieve the end results.
So that was just a tiny example of what I am focusing on and need not worry about karma going back and getting others and striking them down.
Of course going even further with getting my inner core stronger, and not just a 6 pack, getting into the best shape I can will help me while working on other things because I need a little bit of strength for things of what I want to do because I have to be more focused in things such as this example "swinging form a helicopter ladder from a helicopter" and knowing that is going to have to have me be at my best.
Granted I do know that I will have to have some sort of harnass attached to me while hanging from the helicopter but I will be dangling from the ladder with no one around me.
The things in my life I may want to do is once again in the "farther future" like swinging from a helicopter, thus I must workout in the present as much as I can so I can be ready in the "farther future" for things like swinging from a helicopter.
So when people keep talking about karma and I'm thinking karma have gotten people in my past, so what? Really so what?
I honestly don't care, because here and now in my life what I see in front of me doesn't matter.
I get to love the things and people that are in my life because everything that evolves in my circle helps to ensure my future is something I never dreamed of.
I am thankful things happened to me in my past because I would have been stuck too like so many people.
I can't thank God and the Universe enough for helping to grab my hand and saying, 'You will someday see the bigger picture".
Well here and now I finally see the big picture.
There is a lot of warmth and the sun will be shining a lot brighter everyday.
How could I not be thankful for everything that has happened and everything that is happening at this very second?
So I say thank you God, thank you Universe.
I am indeed had many blessings that were disguised and I didn't know at times in my life that they actually were.
So everyday I am very thankful.
I will just keep going forward and never have to look back because I rather look up to see the sun which shines down upon me than to look back and only see shadows.
Life is golden, no need for revenge.
Happiness is satisfaction that comes when your life is golden.
I most certainly will always want to stay that way.

Over the past few months, I've booked multiple gigs modeling for artists. It's a unique experience that I sort of fell in love with. I want to experience every angle of modeling possible. There were some cool challenges and obstacles I had to learn to overcome. The first one was when I had to go to the bathroom, I started thinking in my head, "Okay, how am I going to get back into this exact position if I leave?" Reluctantly, they let me use the restroom, and I managed to get back into the same position afterwards. Another obstacle I had to overcome, was knowing my own strengths. Try leaning forward with your elbows on your knees, and your head in your hands... Now, try to hold that position for an hour. You'll discover sooner or later, that simple positions like that use more muscles than you originally would have thought!
This is a great opportunity for aspiring models everywhere, and you can find tons of information on becoming an artists model online with a simple Google search or you can even call a few local galleries who would probably be thrilled to have you! Its amazing work, even if it's not the easiest. Think of how much you can impact your career by modeling for a painting; you would be impacting the artists, galleries, customers, and your own personal experience. Every obstacle you overcome helps to develop you into a better product for future clients. Art speaks, and modeling for a painting is a once in a lifetime experience that I would definitely recommend.
The photos below are from modeling for the School of Light and Color and Capital Art Center in Sacramento, CA. The outfits: Bridal cocktail, flower girl, European sailor, cowgirl, soccer referee, and business woman.

Lindale Community Theater's summer production premiered Friday, July 6, with the 2005 Broadway Tony award, and Drama Desk award winning book of a musical, "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.''
This hilarious, heart-warming musical comedy was written by playwright Rachel Sheinkin, conceived by Rebecca Feldman, with music and lyrics by William Finn,and directed by LCT Executive Director, Tim Mitchiner.
Act I takes us into a typical middle school gymnasium where we are introduced to the three officials in charge of the Bee competition.
The talented Brandi Bridges plays both the "Bee' monitor, the warm and jovial Rona Lisa Perretti, and Olive's mother. Rona Lisa is a former third time champion who now organizes the competition, and relishes the opportunity to relive her glory days at the Bee.
Vice Principal Douglas Panch (Greg West), the slightly snarky and comical word pronouncer who has issues of his own, seems a bit too enthusiastic about hitting the disqualifying bell, whose word pronunciations and definitions are simply priceless.
Then we have the much needed "Comfort-Counselor, Mitch Mahoney (Tim Mitchiner, who also plays Logainne's Dad, and Jesus), an ex-convict doing community service, who not only dispenses hugs and juice boxes as he escorts the disqualified competitors offstage with a humorously slight shove is absolutely hysterical.
The six delightfully intelligent and awkward-age teens whose character idiosyncrasies are the driving force behind their ability to spell complicated words, and reveals much of their all too common struggles of their growing years, which paradoxically makes each one of them endearingly unique, yet, all the same.
Will Ross is excellent as the disheveled and arrogant William Morris Barfée (Magic Foot), who struggles with a sinus condition whose idiosyncratic way of spelling is to trace the words out with his foot, while the loveable Logainne Schwartzandgrubenniere (played by the delightful Emily Rohrman), speaks with a slight speech impediment, who along with her two fathers Dan Schwartz and Carl Grubenniere (played by Tim Mitchiner and Christopher Fisher), sings about the enormous pressure on her to win.
Noel Weems flawlessly plays Marcy Park, (Lady of Sorrows), the nerdy unwilling over-achiever, who proudly reminds everyone that she speaks six languages, who appears bored with her consistent successes, while goofy Leaf Coneybear (played by the highly-talented Christopher Fisher, who also plays Logainne's Dad),whose lack of self-esteem sings his way into your heart with his perfectly timed voice inflections and facial expressions. All the while, he dances through the stage with his cape and sock puppet and is both endearing and funny.
Chip Tolentino (played by the talented Nicholas Sheffield, (who also plays Olive's Dad), whose shy confidence is derived from being the previous champion, is eliminated early in what is – hands down -- the funniest number in the show.
Talented Kimberlee Martin Ross plays the meek but fierce competitor Olive Ostravsky, whose best friend is her dictionary, is enamored of language and finds herself pining for her absent parents (also played by Brandi Bridges and Nicholas Sheffield), visualizes them being there with her and sings a truly heart-wrenching song of "I Love You."
But the cast is not complete without adding a few more "mystery guests" chosen from the audience, who complete the competition and spontaneously sends the entire cast into a cabaret style of song and dance pandemonium.
"The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee'' is an uproarious musical comedy with a touch of cabaret that is filled with vitality and unpredictability that is absolutely hilarious, yet highlights the common struggles and passions of each of the unique young adolescents that is very endearing and is truly a must see.
The show continues this weekend with performances on Friday and Saturday, July13-14at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday matinee, July 15 at 2 p.m. Doors open 45 minutes prior to show time. All seats are general admission and are first come, first served.
The performance contains some adult content.
Adult tickets are $18, student tickets $15, and children 12 and under $12. Tickets will also be available at the door or may be purchased online at www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2718438. (A small service charge will be added to all credit/debit card purchases).
The theater is located at 109 W. Hubbard St. in downtown Lindale. For more information on these performances, please feel free to contact Tim Mitchiner with any questions at firstname.lastname@example.com,or by visiting www.lindalecommunitytheater.org, or by calling 903-638-0402.

My children enjoy their strawberries plain. We've had them for breakfast, snacks, and even for dessert with nothing added on top. Occasionally, I do like to change things up a bit and give them an extra special treat. Our favorite strawberry treat are these chocolate strawberry shortcake cupcakes. All of the credit goes to the amazing Chloe Coscarelli for the recipe. It is a light and airy chocolate cupcake with a fluffy icing and fresh strawberries, which leaves you feeling refreshed, yet satisfied.
Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes
Recipe Source: ChefChloe.com by Chloe Coscarelli
Makes 14 cupcakes
Chocolate Cupcakes
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. sugar
1/3 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. soy milk (or water or almond milk)
1/2 c. canola oil
2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line cupcake pans with 14 cupcake liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa, basking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fill the cupcake liners about two-thirds full with batter. Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcake comes out clean with a few crumbs clinging to it. Cook the cupcakes completely before frosting.
1 c. vegetable shortening
3 c. powdered sugar
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
2 to 5 Tbsp. soy milk (or almond milk)
Using a handheld or stand mixer, beat the shortening until smooth. With the mixer running on low, add powdered sugar, vanilla, and 1 Tbsp. nondairy milk at a time, as needed, until frosting reaches a spreadable consistency. Beat on high for 2 more minutes until light and fluffy
1/2 c. hulled and sliced strawberries
To assemble the cupcakes: Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, slather with frosting and top with sliced strawberries.
If you click on this link to the recipe on Chef Chloe's website, you can see how she assembles her cupcakes. I've done it this way a number of times and they're very pretty. But with 3 young children, I don't have the time to spend on making the cupcakes extra fancy. With these, they're going to taste amazing no matter how they're assembled.

'We have a deal'
At the same time, the administration is betting that with time, the debate will also change as voters see the result of a spending-cut-only approach.
"Any debate will involve a complete review of tax reform, entitlement reform; everything is on the table," said one official. "We think in a nutshell this is a package that will demonstrate we are serious about fiscal discipline, demonstrates that balance is important."
The proposal builds on elements of a House-passed bill credited with saving $917 billion over the next 10 years and raising the ceiling by $900 billion that would carry the government through the end of this year.
In the interim, the new joint congressional committee would be charged with coming up with $1.5 trillion in additional deficit reduction, less than the target set in the House measure, but still judged sufficient to match the Treasury's remaining borrowing needs to get though the 2012 election year.
To give some added flexibility, the plan allows for a situation where the committee won't meet its full target but still generates $1.2 trillion in savings, for example, to match an equivalent debt increase.
The spending reductions themselves can be delayed to take effect in 2013 to soften the effect on the economy. And in some cases, across-the-board cuts could be used as a tool to fill gaps in the committee's work product.
Thus, Obama is not guaranteed that he will get the full combined $2.4 trillion debt increase that has been proposed, but he would avoid the recurring threat of default next winter if the committee fails to meet its target. Indeed, there appears to be a fail-safe provision that allows a $1.2 trillion debt increase in the winter if the whole process collapses.
The biggest new feature is a return to something like the old Gramm-Rudman sequester model of the 1980s, using severe across-the-board cuts as an action-forcing device. The cuts would affect Democratic domestic priorities, including Medicare, but also about 50 percent would come from defense spending, which is a major priority for many Republicans.
The goal is to give both parties an incentive to avoid a deadlock in the committee, and the administration will also have a major stake since success will make it easier to manage its borrowing. But the severity of the threatened defense cuts is such that it met a backlash from House Republicans, accounting for some of the continued uncertainty Sunday.

Welcome and Hello!
First, I want to congratulate you on your future wedding. If you wish, I can share those unique and special moments. As long as the date is available, I can document your wedding in any place or country.
I travel to where there is a real love story; those that make me feel excited. I live in Mexico and I move to where a couple in love contacts me. The distance is something temporary. I will use any means to travel, there are no limits to do my work, either for a few miles or for an entire ocean. Photography is part of my life, I like to breathe it and live it. If you want to know about me visit here.
I not only do photography, I use my experience and my talents at your service to assist you in any decision of your wedding; above all, in the aesthetic and emotional aspects. There are small details that can influence your event and if you do not take care of them, it can become a disaster in what could have been a beautiful ceremony, so I always advise if you want my opinion.
What happens in front of us at a wedding is something magical. What couples have is something intimate and personal. I do not like to manipulate or to create staged situations. I like to photograph natural and real emotions. I must be sincere, I move away from classic wedding photography. However, I do care about making portraits of your relatives and close friends; I think they are very important. Do not worry about it.
The Sessions and Weddings
In the last few years, many photographers are saying that they can photograph couples in a natural way and that there are no poses, when sometimes there is posing and they create artificial situations. I want to tell you that I teach how to relax and act in a natural way. That is when the poses are natural and true. Yes, we always pose but unconsciously and when we are in front of a camera, we become stiff and uncomfortable. I do not want to do that with you.
It is important for me and for you that we can meet via skype, phone or physically. So if possible, we will do an engagement session before your wedding and if possible, we will do two. This becomes a point of contact that I consider very important. Because that is how we talk, we laugh and know the way the photographs come out of those moments.
In this way, by the time of the wedding you will be more relaxed because you already know that it is possible to make emotional photographs without the need to create artificial poses, by just being yourselves.
I consider myself a storyteller and I do it through images, so I try to document all the possible moments and situations. I deliver at least 1000 photographs on the wedding day only. I avoid clichés and staged photos. It is important for me to have emotional photographs of the couple.
A Portrait Guide for Couples
About Your Wedding
Whatever type of wedding or ceremony you have, you should know that I like to document all kinds. Whether you are Adventist, Buddhist, Catholic, Chinese, Christian, Indian, Jewish, Korean, Muslim, Flying Spaghetti follower or if Cthulhu or your best friend is witness in your love bond, for me they are very important.
I like to make complete weddings, from the house or the hotel of the fiancées until an hour of open bar.
I only do a professional post process in the photographs with the shades and colors that make them unique, that does not keep me from holding onto the photos for months, I think the couple should receive their photos as soon as possible, when the emotions and memories of the wedding still are present.
– I love film and if possible we can shoot on 35 film – #filmisnotdead
The Video and the Photography
There are times when the couple already has their own videographer and there are usually some drawbacks. Sometimes they come up with several assistants, cranes, cameras and may even come to use drones that can become annoying and can destroy the photographer's work. There are professionals who are discreet, attentive and know how to work as a team.
However, there are those who do not know how to work as a team and destroy the photographer's plans, use tripods and cables that can come out in the images, but this is not all. They also distract the bride and groom. To be honest, at a wedding, you cannot repeat everything and I do not want to risk such a wedding.
If you do not have a professional videographer, I know someone professional who takes care of it. Your wedding will be the closest thing to a movie, where photographers or staff people do not go walking and running around.
This can be annoying and distressing and people do not imagine that for the bride and groom and their guests; it is unnecessary to do that. If I team with a professional, we know what to do, without disturbing the guests or the couple.
What do I Deliver?
I deliver all files in high resolution and online for easy distribution, this is a simple way. You have rights and permissions to print your photographs. As often and wherever you like and distribute them on social networks.
The images go without watermarks because they are yours, what I do is give you some digital web versions in case you want to help me to get other couples to know my work. I cannot give up copyright because I am the photographer.
An engagement session delivered a minimum of 20 pictures with their black and white versions, which make 40 photographs in total. If you wish, we can also do a session the day after and I deliver the same. For the wedding, you will receive at least 500 photographs, but usually much more. Normally I shoot an average of 100 pictures per hour and I deliver their versions in black and white so that you also have your favorites.
If it is an intimate wedding or an elopement and the duration of the same is one hour or up to three hours, you will have an average of 100 to 250 photographs with their black and white versions taking an approximate 250 to 500 photographs. All the photographs are delivered in color and black and white, doubling all the numbers. So do not worry.
The album is hand crafted, the design is minimalist and sophisticated, this is something you will get, but it is thought not only for you but also for the future generations that come after you. Consider it an investment as a family heirloom and a visual legacy that you can inherit.
Recommendations for Destination Weddings, Haciendas, Beaches and Resorts.
I travel a lot and distance is no problem to be able to document your wedding, whether it is a small and intimate wedding or elopement. I have traveled to different places in the Americas, The Caribbean and Europe. I'm looking for Africa, Asia and Oceania too.
Your wedding can be in France, Italy, Spain, Canada, Argentina, Colombia, California, New York or somewhere in the Washington forest or some mountain in South Africa or in some beach or cenote of the Riviera Maya or anywhere in the world.
In hotels and resorts, they usually ask the photographer to stay at least one night or to cover a fee for working there (the resort) and this is called "External Vendor Fee". This must be covered and resolved by the couple. Some places do not need that, but they do demonstrate the professionalism of the photographer. Consult with the venue planner. But should't be a problem.
Important Consideration
Due to many problems that couples have had when selecting a photographer or a photographic studio, I must tell them that I only go to the weddings. I do not send an associate photographer or someone else at the last minute. Unless I suffer an accident or extraordinary situation, I will send someone that I trust.
For me this is a very important job and you should know that I also only work under a legal contract. I do things well or I do not do them. In Mexico and other places in the world sometimes take from 3 to 6 months to deliver the images to their customers and only deliver between 200 and 600 photographs and I think this should not be so.
My services start at $2150 USD for weddings. Travel to other parts of Mexico, the Caribbean, and worldwide are also possible. Travel expenses for destinations outside of Mexico are quoted separately.
My basic collection includes full day coverage on your wedding day, which will equate to approximately 500 finished images, prints and mini album. Finished images are made available for preview on my website within 3 weeks. Your price includes a credit towards a professionally designed, hand-crafted album.
— I still have a few remaining dates in 2018 that I can book at 2017's starting price of $1950 —
Each couple is different and each wedding is unique, so if you want to know more details of the experiences and detailed prices contact me here.

Already a formidable force in the business van market, it appears like Mercedes is now ready to make its mark in the light truck segment. Possible rivals consist of the Chevrolet Colorado, Ford Ranger, Toyota Hilux and Volkswagen Amarok, plus the aforementioned associated models from Nissan and Renault.
These are our most current spy shots of a prototype for a brand-new mid-size pickup truck from Mercedes-Benz. The truck will be called an X-Class and was previewed last fall by a concept of the same name.
This isn't a lifestyle offering we're discussing– although there will be lifestyle-oriented versions– but a major workhorse with some typical Mercedes high-end included.
2018 Mercedes-Benz X-Class Design
The X-Class is based upon the rugged body-on-frame platform discovered in the current Nissan NP300 Navara, and at the moment the prototype still shares some aspects with the Nissan. The grille is plainly a Mercedes unit, though. Nissan's alliance partner Renault has its own version of the NP300 Navara called the Alaskan.
All three trucks are because of be constructed at Nissan's plant situated in Barcelona, Spain, as well as a Renault plant in Cordoba, Argentina. Distinct styling and interiors are being used to separate them.
For example, the interior of the X-Class principle featured the rotary dial and touchpad controller system discovered in the latest Mercedes models, in addition to exceptional products on the dash and a big infotainment screen.
2018 Mercedes-Benz X-Class Engine
It's possible Mercedes will also utilize its own engines for its truck. The X-Class idea came powered by a turbocharged V-6 diesel which was coupled with an automated transmission. Other mechanicals included a live rear axle with spring dampers, which Mercedes stated assists to smooth on and off-road driving.
2018 Mercedes-Benz X-Class Release Date
We can expect a debut of the X-Class in its final form in late 2017 or early the list below year. Sadly, Mercedes has no plans to offer the X-Class in the United States at this minute.

Precise simulation of large area photonic crystal devices.
Planar photonic crystal devices allow to integrate complex optical functions in small-area photonic devices. For design and optimization of such structures simulations are very helpful.
Figure 1 shows the geometry of a typical building block of such devices, a W1 photonic crystal waveguide. It consists of a slab waveguide perforated by a periodic pattern of air holes where one row of holes is missing and forms a waveguide for light frequencies within the bandgap of the periodic structure. Figure 2 shows a detail of the geometry and part of the triangular discretization. A guided mode of the waveguide entering the computational domain on the left side, at chosen wavelength, is applied as source field. The time-harmonic near field solution is then computed with JCMsuite's light scattering module JCMharmony. From the nearfield, experimental observables like transmission and reflection are computed using automatic postprocesses.
Figure 3 shows the real part of the z-polarized electric field, Figure 4 shows the corresponding phase distribution. Computation time for the displayed example is below 10 seconds (standard PC, single-thread, using third order finite elements and adaptive grid refinement). The transmission at the given specific wavelength is computed to a relative precision of about 0.1%.
Please note that the waveguides entering and leaving the computational domain are treated rigorously within JCMsuite. Therefore they do not lead to any artificial reflections at the boundaries.

Really in no certain order, except my number 1 and 2 are in order. Just 3-10 could randomly be moved around.
1. This Side of the Grave by Jeaniene Frost - I absolutely love this series. Cat and Bones have to be the funniest, sexiest couple out there. Have to say I'd kill to get my hands on this book!
2. Archangel's Consort by Nalini Singh - This is one steaming series I die waiting for, after reading the first book I actually went out and bought the second one because I refused to wait in line at the library, which says a lot because I rarely buy books unless they totally blow me away! My face is probably a little red right now just thinking of the first book and how Elena & Raphael "tango".
3. The Iron Queen by Julie Kawaga - I can't wait to see the continuation of Meghan Chase's story after being exiled from Nevernever . Also to see her relationship Ash blossom some more.
4. Afterlife by Claudia Gray - I'm not sure why I'm looking forward to this book, the way the last one end I was completely shocked by how it turned out. Also a little disappointed, but I'll stick with it.
5. City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare - I thought the series was over but I guess a continuation is okay, though I hope its not bad. Though the cover is very nice, got me thinking are the cities on the cover cities in America? If so, which ones?
6. Forever by Maggie Stiefvater - I'm excited for this book and can't wait to see what happens between Grace and Sam. What will become of them? Will they choose to be humans or wolves? What would you choose?
7. Where She Went by Gayle Forman - I can't remember how the book ended but I can remember what it was about. The cover is absolutely stunning, so that makes me want to read it even more. Now isn't that cover just beautiful?
8. Entice by Carrie Jones - Another beautiful cover. Another great story about faeries.
9. Chain Reaction by Simone Elkeles - I enjoyed the first two installations of the Perfect Chemistry series, I know they have a sorta semiliar feel but I still enjoy the chemistry between the characters. Plus, I love me some bad boys falling for some good girls, but I believe this book is semi the other way around. Plus the cover looks sizzling!!!
10. XVI - Julia Karr - I found out about this book on another person's top ten list, it literally interests me, the cover is haunting and darking, yet beautiful still. I don't think I've read a book that is anyway similar to this one, so I can't wait to get it.
Now bring on 2011! I can't wait to get my hand on these books. I'm sure there are other books I want but I can't remember them all.

The fantastic free and open source package LibreOffice has this week rolled out a new update to its suite of software, that brings with it a number of new features and tweaks, improving the package even further.
LibreOffice developers Document Foundation have announced the launch of their latest version as "The best free office suite ever" and marks the third major release. New features in the update include a built-in Grammar checker for English and several other languages, together with improved typographical features, for professional looking documents.
Also for the first time LibreOffice, developers will be enabling a new online update checker, which informs users when a new version of the suite is available. Caolán McNamara, a senior RedHat developer who is one of the founders and directors of TDF explains:
"We inherited a 15 years old code base, where features were not implemented and bugs were not solved in order to avoid creating problems, and this – with time – was the origin of a large technical debt," – "We had two options: a conservative strategy, which would immediately please all users, leaving the code basically unchanged, and our more aggressive feature development and code renovation path, which has created some stability problems in the short term but is rapidly leading to a completely new and substantially improved free office suite: LibreOffice 3.5, the best free office suite ever."
The new features and the improvements are described in the infographic which can be downloaded from here. For more information on all the new tweaks and features jump over to the LibreOfficewebsite for a full list. LibreOffice 3.5 is available to download from here.

Successful asthma treatment should not only reduce your current symptoms, but also help you limit your use of rescue medicines and maintain your normal activity levels such as attending work and school, exercising, and performing other physical activities.
The four main classifications of asthma severity (measured before starting medications) are:
Your doctor will prescribe medication to help you control your asthma symptoms based on the combination of your asthma severity and its level of control. He or she may also help you develop an asthma action plan that describes how and when to take your medications, how to best avoid factors that worsen your asthma, how Your doctor will presc asthma control, how to respond to worsening asthma symptoms, and how to seek emergency care when needed.
People differ widely in their responsiveness to asthma treatments: What works for one person with asthma that is classified as "moderate persistent" may not work for someone else with the same symptoms. An important part of bringing your asthma symptoms under control is making regular follow-up trips to your doctor so he or she can assess how your treatments are working and adjust them accordingly.
You can help by charting your symptoms at home. Your doctor may prescribe a peak flow meter, a handheld lung function measurement device allows you to track your lung function at home. Based on symptoms, the doctor may switch your medication or increase the dosage of your current medication to help you gain better control over your symptoms; he or she may even reduce your dosage if your asthma seems to be well-controlled.
Once you start taking medications, your asthma symptoms should improve. But while some people experience total relief from their asthma symptoms after they start taking medications, many people will continue to experience some symptoms. So what does it mean if you still have asthma symptoms? How controlled is your asthma?
The Global Institute for Asthma (GINA) uses the following classification of how well-controlled your symptoms are with medications:
Having asthma that is not controlled can be bothersome and sometimes downright scary. If you have to limit your activity to avoid asthma symptoms, then it's already reducing your quality of life. But uncontrolled asthma is more than just a nuisance. It can have a major impact on your ability to lead a happy, productive life and it carries a high risk of complications associated with the disease.
Effects of uncontrolled asthma include:
If you have any type of persistent asthma, the doctor will likely prescribe you two types of medications: fast-acting or "rescue" medications that may help relieve acute asthma symptoms and asthma attacks, and long-acting or "asthma control" medications that are taken daily to help control your everyday symptoms. Asthma control medications can help reduce your everyday symptoms as well as lessen the frequency of asthma attacks.
When you first start taking asthma control medication, you may notice a difference right away. These medications may take several weeks of regular use to achieve their full effect and even then they only work when they are taken consistently.
Ask your doctor about the specific medications you are prescribed, what to expect if it is working, and how long it usually takes to show improvement. If you have been taking the medications properly for a sufficient period but you are not experiencing any relief from your symptoms, your medications need to be adjusted by your doctor.
Some other signs that your asthma control medications may not be working include:
If you're taking asthma control medications, but you're still experiencing significant asthma symptoms, it may be time for you to talk to your doctor about how you can get better control over your asthma. Similarly, if you have asthma but you are only using fast acting inhalers to treat your symptoms instead of longer-acting control medication, you may also want to talk to your doctor about adjusting your medication.
If you and your doctor have already developed an asthma action plan (also called an asthma management or asthma control plan), guidelines may be included in the plan that tell you how and when to take more of your prescribed medications. But never take more medication than is specifically prescribed in an asthma action plan.
If you are still experiencing symptoms after following the asthma action plan, you should make an appointment with your doctor to make changes to the plan to help reduce your symptoms and the impact that they are having on your life. If your symptoms don't meet the criteria of "controlled" asthma, your doctor should be able to adjust your asthma action plan to try to help you get your symptoms under controlled.
One thing your doctor can do is change the schedule or dosage of your currently prescribed asthma control medications. Increasing how often you take your medications or how much you take each time may help better control your symptoms. Another option is to change the medications you are on, either by adding a new medication to your existing prescriptions or by substituting a new medication for one you are currently taking.
There are several types of asthma control medications, but the most frequently prescribed are:
Corticosteroids help reduce inflammation in the lung airways and are commonly taken daily via an inhaler (note that this is not the same as the fast-acting rescue inhalers that are designed to be used only when you are experiencing symptoms). If you are prescribed one type of corticosteroid medication to control your asthma symptoms, your doctor might consider switching you to a different type of corticosteroid.
When you visit your doctor to talk about your uncontrolled asthma symptoms, it is a good idea to bring with you a list of your concerns.
How to do it: Chart your symptoms leading up to your appointment and then bring this information with you when you go. This can include your daily peak flow measures, information about when you experienced symptoms and how serious they were, whether your symptoms seem to be improving or worsening over time, how often you had to use your rescue inhaler, how much you have had to limit your daily activities or exercise, what triggers seem to be related to your symptoms, and information on any asthma attacks you may have had.
Once you have provided this information to your doctor, you can talk to him or her about making changes to your asthma action plan. If you don't already know, you can ask what types of medications you are currently prescribed. You can ask the doctor what the available options are for changing your medications: does he or she think you should increase the dose or frequency of your current medications, should you switch to a similar medication within the same class? You can ask the doctor to explain why they are recommending those particular changes and not something else.
You can also ask the doctor about changing other aspects of your asthma control plan: Should you be doing more to avoid factors that worsen your asthma? Are you doing enough to track your level of asthma control? Is it OK for you to increase the dose of one of your newly prescribed medications temporarily when your symptoms worsen? Finally, you can ask what the next step should be if the current changes you are making to your asthma action plan fail to bring your asthma symptoms under control.

TAMC offers winter Fit and Fun series
PRESQUE ISLE, Maine — For the fifth year, The Aroostook Medical Center will offer its Fit and Fun Winter Challenge activities to families in Aroostook County starting in January 2018. All events are free or low cost and will include old favorites as well as some new additions to the seasonal events.
"Our goals are to get children moving and to encourage families to have more active lifestyles. Fit and Fun allows us to provide them with different opportunities," said Jamie Guerrette, TAMC community health specialist. "If some families enjoy skiing or snowshoeing, that's available to them, but if others like indoor activities like bowling, then they could do something that the whole family can enjoy."
The first Fit and Fun Winter Challenge activity will be a TAMC Free Skate at the Presque Isle Forum on Sunday, Jan. 14 from 1 to 3 p.m. The facility allows two-hundred skaters, not including spectators, on the rink at a time and organizers encourage family members to come and watch their skaters. TAMC will provide free skate rentals as supplies last.
Fit and Fun continues the next day with a free Snowman and Sliding Day at the Presque Isle Housing on Birch Street from 1 to 3 p.m. TAMC will award prizes for the best snowman and United Way of Aroostook will distribute free children's books.
The remainder of the Fit and Fun winter season includes a snowshoe hike and a Youth Nordic Day at the Nordic Heritage Center in Presque Isle, TAMC Day at Bigrock Ski Area in Mars Hill and Quoggy Jo Ski Center in Presque Isle, bowling at Northern Lanes in Presque Isle and UMPI Family Night at Gentile Hall as well as other events. People can view the full schedule at www.tamc.org.
TAMC will also offer a Fit and Fun summer series beginning in April. Guerrette said that splitting the series into seasonal activities gives families even more incentives to stay active all year and find healthy activities in which they can participate together. The TAMC Free Skates and Snowshoe Hikes have been two of the most popular winter events. They will offer bowling at Northern Lanes for the first time in 2018.
Another new feature to Fit and Fun is the passport punch prizes. When families attend their first event for the season, a TAMC official will give each person a punch card that will earn them prizes. People who have three punches in their card from attending three events will receive a TAMC headband and those with five punches will receive a drawstring sports bag. Seven punches gives people a travel mug for hot drinks, and when they reach 10 punches they receive a Fit and Fun hoodie or sweatshirt. The summer Fit and Fun series will feature different seasonal prizes.
Most Fit and Fun events are free, but those with a cost for attendance are at or below $5. Guerrette said that TAMC has kept costs low or free to encourage more families to attend and eliminate a barrier that often keeps people from trying outdoor and fitness activities.
"Fit and Fun used to focus more on competitive races during the summer, but there was a cost to participate, and those events were geared more toward athletes," Guerrette said. "The cost of the races limited how many people could participate, so we wanted to allow more families to be part of the activities and see them become more active and healthy."
TAMC's sponsorship of venues such as Bigrock, Nordic Heritage Center and Quoggy Jo and partnerships with Aroostook State Park, UMPI, the Presque Isle Forum, Northern Lanes and the Presque Isle Housing Authority makes Fit and Fun possible. Many activities during the Winter Challenge depend on weather or snow, and Guerrette encourages people to follow TAMC events on Facebook for more up-to-date information on possible cancellations or postponements during the season. Those who want more information on Fit and Fun can contact Guerrette at (207) 768-4008 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

We had 7 inspirational stories from 7 inspirational women.
Lauren Samson, Yvonne Johnson, Christine Bennett, Stacey Smith, Gem McCallum, Suzi Wadddell and Maddi Rowley.
Each story so different but each one touched our hearts and made us understand that we can all be anything we want to be and overcome anything life throws at us if we believe in ourselves.
Sandra told us the story of KBH and where she sees our future and Andrea inspired us how to turn our can'ts in to cans. Great vision for our futures.
Then we celebrated so many achievements and winners and you can read all about them on the KBH Direst Sales page but I will re iterate the draw winners again here.
The winners of The tables were:
Hannah Healey, Claire Lomas and Debbie Todd.
The winners of the 100 pics were.
Susan Loone, Amy Parker and Mick Whitehead
The tables are being dispatched tomorrow and will need you to be there for delivery on Wednesday. If you aren't able to take delivery of the tables on Wednesday please can you ring HO to arrange a suitable day 🙂
The other outstanding part of the day and the one that reduced me to tears even though I had said I wouldn't was the Guiding Star Award.
It was so special because this was your award to one of your own.
Your winner was Sandra Constantopoulos and Sandra will be sharing her story so that you all get to know her in the end of month newsletter 🙂
The team really enjoyed meeting Jason the warehouse manager and he really rocks the KBH Apron and Key Rings that were on sale 🙂 I'm sure that you have all seen the picture of him in the Apron 🙂
It was such a celebratory day and wonderful to recognise the achievements of so many.
To those of you who were there we would love to hear your comments that perhaps you now think " oh I wish I had put that in the suggestions box but have just thought about it now"
so please can you take this survey and we look forward to your comments.
Let's talk the FUTURE OF KBH
How many more of you will be on stage next year. It was wonderful to hear so many of you saying. "that will be me next year"
Halloween is the next big event this year and I know that in your groups you are already swapping ideas to make it a success and grow your profits and then after Halloween it's …………………………………………….
Check out your group pages for the images from Conference and we did listen and we did give you ……………………………….THE ELF !!! Just too exciting .🎊
The new pictures will come in at the end of October but as you know you can stock up already on the existing Christmas pictures but when they are gone they are gone until the new stock arrives so if you have any favourites get them ordered 🙂
So, what's in it for you this Christmas? Well lots of mega profits, that's for sure 🙂 But we thought you might need some R&R afterwards to chill and reward yourselves for being so successful so……………………………
We have 16 places, already booked for 16 people to be thoroughly spoilt at Crewe Hall Spa
This amazing Spa, in it's awesome setting, is waiting for you to be pampered on January 22nd 2017.
You will arrive to Prosecco in your room, a leisurley lunch catching up and making new friends, a luxury treatment and then dinner to forge new friendships and swap stories and ideas.
AND you don't have to rush off after breakfast the next day, you can stay and use the spa facilities until 4pm.
Isn't that fantastic???
What do you have to do to be part of this wonderful Luxury break?
The 5 consultants with the highest individual Sales will be going 🙂
The 5 consultants who build their teams with most new active consultants will be going.
(where there is a tie on new active consultants the consultants with the highest sales will win e.g. you have 10 consultants and they are all active and their sales over the incentive period amount to £3000 and another consultant has 10 active consultants and their combined activity is £4000 then he/she will be above you in the list).
However there is another amazing category because at Head Office we have 6 other places that will be awarded. and this category is called
Head Office Heroes
So when the incentive comes to and end and we know who has won the 10 places for sales and Team building we will sit down and see, who has achieved and done something that we think is very special
It might be someone who has stepped up 2 or 3 ranks in that period, it might be someone who has been consistently active throughout enormous challenges , it might be someone who just missed out on sales or team building.
It will give every solitary one of you a chance to shine in your own right and have a chance of recognition.
We have always said we are unlike any other company and this really proves our point of difference again.
We want to reward you for growing and developing and encouraging others to do the same.
We want to reward consistency and team players as well as recognise sales and team building. All of these things are vital in a company and all of you are equally important to us and we want you to know that.
The Incentive started on Saturday 10th and will continue until 31st December so lots of time to be successful in whatever way you choose.
I can't wait to see all the chatter in your groups and watch you pull together to be the best you can be.
We will be sharing more Conference photos in the days to come so keep an eye on the Direct sales page and put your focus on being a winner at Christmas just like the winners at Conference.

WP Engine – The Right WordPress Web Host For You?
Following a recommendation I read somewhere, I decided to give WP Engine a try for one of my WordPress sites. This particular site was having some hosting issues so the timing seemed right and the review I read sounded impressive.
Straight off the bat I'm going to say that I've no doubt WP Engine is a good web host. However, I just want to share my experience in case it helps you whilst investigating potential hosting providers.
Stage one for me was to try and migrate my site across from the old host to the new. To keep a long story short, I made a complete mess of it. I tried both the standard WP export / import routine and also Backupbuddy. Whatever happened, it was clearly my fault, no question. However, to remedy the situation, I would normally delete WordPress, delete the MySQL database and start again. At this stage, I discovered this option wasn't open to me and I had to log a support request.
Stage two, having got back to a clean installation, was for me to try again. This time I elected not to migrate my old site as the issues I was having had been remedied by a server move. So, this was simply a case of me creating a new site.
I applied my WordPress theme of choice (Thesis) but then tried to apply a particular skin. Part of this process involves changing the properties (CHMOD) of a file. This is something I've done a number of times but was greeted with a message saying I had 'insufficient privileges'. This stopped me in my tracks so I raised a support request. I was a told a script would be run that should allow the files to be updated as required. It didn't. I asked the support guy if he could CHMOD the file for me. He couldn't.
To be clear, this was only a question of being able to add a specific skin and I could have elected to use another theme; I'm sure this would have been trouble free but is not what I wanted to do. At this stage, I submitted my final support request – this time to close my account.
I'm sure WP Engine provide a solid hosting platform but their headline says 'Hassle Free WordPress Hosting'. For me it wasn't and I found the restrictions on what I was able to do frustrating.
Update – May 2014
Although bad for WP Engine, this post on WP Tavern caught my eye. Looks like it wasn't just me then!
Updated – December 2015
If you are looking for a really fast, reliable web host for your WordPress site, you really should take a look at Traffic Planet Hosting. Ticks all the right boxes!

Because of the popularity of startups around the world, people everywhere now seem to know about venture capitalists. Called VC's for short, these financial individuals are sometimes known as angel investors as well. However, while VC's get a lot of attention, it seems that another kind of individual does not: the investment banker.
Who is an investment banker? Firstly, they have been around far longer than VC's and have also fostered important trade relationships in that time. They can be of great help to those looking to raise money, especially entrepreneurs. But again, what exactly is an investment banker?
An investment banker is someone who helps companies or governments raise funds by selling financial assets on the market. This often includes the issuing of securities. They also provide fundraising for capital markets such as debt or equity. Perhaps more importantly they also offer advising and consulting services for strategic mergers, acquisitions, and other kinds of important financial actions on behalf of a company, organization, or individual.
A great investment banker can help companies decide where and how to raise their money. They also prepare important documents and prevent misunderstandings that can be costly. They follow regulations to ensure compliance as well. But aside from the financial benefits, investment bankers help people in a larger sense of the word. They can create situations that allow people with difficult circumstances to rise above them and create success.
One such example of an investment banker who uses his intellgience and financial resources to help people is Martin Lustgarten. Lustgarten is a dual national of Austria and Venezuela.
For example, Lustgarten has used his purchase order financing company to help those in certain areas who are having difficulties gaining access to global trade. He allowed them to engage in American trade by providing U.S. dollars in a location that was difficult to come by them in Venezuela.

Her parents are out of town travelling, so when she's not working at her part time job at a dollar store, Nicole wastes time with her best friend Veronica. Her older brother Remi and his two musician buddies suddenly return, and with his bandmates, take over the family bungalow to begin rehearsing in anticipation of a recording contract.

Friday's Favorite French Things
Labels: France
La Vosgienne
This week it's another french sweety. I love the tin. The colours are deep and the design and typography are excellent.
The sweet itself is a bit strange, but it grows on you. They are not mint flavoured, as you'd guess from the colours but have extract of pine.
The back of the tin says "It's n intense and pure flavour, a mixture of pine and honey which gives a deliciously soft sensation of freshness. To taste a La Vosgienne sweet is to rediscover the pleasures of an adventure in the forest"
Owned by Cadbury France, the only disappointment is that it says "made in Spain" on the side of the tin!

Katowice International Airport magazine
The Katowice Airport Fire and Rescue Team at Katowice Airport in Pyrzowice is now in the possession of two new Rosenbauer Panther airport fire-rescue vehicles. One of these Austrian-made vehicles is a 4x4. It has a maximum load capacity of 25 tonnes. This fire truck is able to carry up to 6 200 litres of water and with a 750 litre foam-concentrate tank. The second of the two purchased vehicles is a 6x6 with a maximum load capacity of 36 tonnes. It has a 12 500 litre water tank as well as a 1 600 litre foam-concentrate tank. This vehicle is also equipped with a 17m-long arm with water-foam-powder extinguisher as well as a punch tool allowing fire and rescue teams to break into the aircraft thus allowing extinguishing agents to be applied to the inside of the body of the aircraft. Both vehicles are also equipped with 250kg dry-chemical extinguishing tanks. They both have 705 horse-power engines allowing the vehicles to travel at speeds up to 130km/hr. Photos of the two new vehicles are available in the photo gallery.

A lot of people seem to assign the word "sequel" with the definition of, "A continuation of the first story." But recently I've come across substantial evidence to indicate otherwise. While this new definition desperately tries to hold onto the connotation that the previous definition carries, the literal definition is quite different.
It now goes something like this:
A second, completely separate and much lamer movie that intends to juice all possible revenue out of a previous movie's name and/or stars. It may or may not have any relation to the previous film, and oftentimes within the last 10 minutes a movie will introduce a completely new issue that will take another 3 hours to explain so that they may produce a sequel. Several sequels may be made, turning a specific group of films into a "series." This series will normally go on until it becomes clear that nobody cares anymore.
I'd like to thank Hollywood for making this post possible.

So, the peachtree tab is working fine. However, how can i get act to change the record manager based on the record manager in Peachtree.
For example. Peachtree says "Bob Jones" is the record manager. But ACT! says something else.
How come multiple contacts within a company do not have the peachtree information even though they are in the same company?
For example:
Acme Inc. has two contacts
Bob Acme
Jane Acme
in Bob's contact I can click the peachtree link and viola, I see the sales history
HOWEVER, in Janes contact, I click on the peachtree tab and nothing. It shows as not linked.
I also posted this on symantec but that forum is a black hole. No one ever responds.

Note: Effective 6/1/13, Sage no longers provides support for the Act! software. This is now provided by Swiftpage.
Thank your response, however, the information you gave me is nothing new. The "link" to peachtree-act, is a really poor link and doesn't really integrate the two programs. Also, the peachtree forum is a graveyard and is not as active as this one. I've posted something on there before, but no response. One could say the same thing "you should address the issue on the ACT! forum".
Bottom line: I think Peachtree and ACT! do not integrate in a useful manner. Oh well, maybe one of the two companies (or a third party) will close that gap.
Thanks for your response anyway.

Gynecologic Cancer Support Services
Treating the whole woman within the context of her life and her family situation, Mount Sinai's interdisciplinary team cares for each woman with the treatment plan designed for her best quality of life and return to health. Through a range of personal support initiatives, we help empower women to advocate for themselves, providing hope through example, and offering ongoing emotional support.
Mount Sinai physicians, social workers and nurses provide care, comfort and resources to women who need it the most. Our outstanding patient support programs include:
Woman to Woman
We facilitate access to social services and internal support groups including a one-on-one support program for women facing gynecologic cancer, as well as their families through Woman to Woman.
Woman to Woman is a Mount Sinai program started in 2003 by Valerie Goldfein, an ovarian cancer survivor and a "Brave New Yorker" named person of the Year in 2016 in the New York Times. Based on her personal experience as a patient, Valerie felt scared and alone and wanted to connect with someone who had survived the disease. This program is still helping women under the oversight of social worker who matches survivors who are trained volunteers with women undergoing treatment for gynecologic cancer. All women being treated at Mount Sinai can request a referral for a Woman to Woman volunteer survivor at no cost.
For more information about Woman to Woman, please contact us at (212) 241-3793 or visit us online at Women's Gynecologic Cancer Support.
Program for Partners
Woman to Woman includes a program for the partners of women undergoing treatment for gynecologic cancer. Partners of women in treatment for gynecologic cancer are often overlooked by health care workers, family, and friends. This may result in confusion, anxiety, and anger. One partner asked us, "What about me?" One-to-one social work support is also available to partners.
Esperanza y Vida (Hope and Life) and the Witness Project of Harlem™
Each year an estimated 12,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer and close to 4,000 die, with significant statistical differences between white and minority women. To help address this discrepancy, Mount Sinai launched two community outreach programs in East Harlem and Harlem in New York City that are culturally tailored to the Latino and African American communities.
In collaboration with the Department of Oncological Sciences at the Icahn School of Medicine, both programs provide women with information about prevention and early detection of breast and cervical cancer, as well as access to cancer. For more information, please contact us at (212) 659-5525.

Our Tooling
Buy from the blacksmiths at the Center for Metal Arts, and buy for life. Our tools come with a lifetime satisfaction guarantee. If at any point you're not happy with the function or quality of our tooling send it back and we will ship another free of charge.*
We are fortunate to have our tooling in smithies and educational institutions all across the United states and abroad. Always forged from quality tool steels directly from the mill, our tooling offers craftsmen and women the best possible forging and metalsmithing experience. We take great pride in the production of our tooling, it is the very same tooling we use to forge our personal work, and our students use in our workshops.
Always forged to finish, means your getting the highest quality striking tool money can buy. Forging to finish means all the shapes and peens are forged deliberately and with intention. This provides a stronger tool with a tighter packed grain structure, one of the main benefits of the forging process. Forged tooling offers much more strength and durability than cast or sanded shapes, and when you hold and view our tools it is obvious the shapes are forged, giving our tools a character not found through stock removal techniques.
The beauty is in the process and simplicity. Rather than add decorative elements our tooling, the beauty lies in the evidence of the process and the simplicity and functionality of the object. That in and of itself is what makes our tooling stand out and perform better than all the rest. We strive to offer our clients a cohesive body of tooling that you can be proud to have on your rack and with that in mind we design our striking tools to go together and look like a family.
All tools are forged in small batches, this helps keep the quality as high as possible and allows us to really consider our work hand made and not mass produced. If we do not have your item in stock we will promptly forge it to order. We welcome custom orders, and as always feel free to contact us with any questions.
