That's right, I ate bugs – the lady selling them gave us a bit of everything, even things I would have thought I didn't want to try – grasshoppers I was ready for – but larvae, maggots and fly-like-things I wasn't
However, it turned out that the grasshoppers were the most difficult to handle (I think it's the faces), the maggots and larvaes – delicious! I had loads of 'em with my singha beer. The ones you can see up there, the fat ones, were really tasty and meaty inside
Finally, something on the more pleasant side – I have a restaurant to reccommend is you are staying anywhere near the Sathorn Road – it's certainly not very cheap – a meal for 4 with some wine cost int he region on 3000 baht, but it's modern and trendy with lots of young Bangkovians (is that what you'd call them?), as well as more the more chic types of tourists from nearby hotels. It's called "Pandanus" and the address is 50 Soi Nunta, Sathorn 1 Rd.
The duck red curry you see up there was superb – finally something properly spicy and not watered down to Western tastes! It had grapes in it as well, which I hadn't come across before in red curry but worked really well. And above that, you see soft shelled crab with chillies and garlic – yum – and morning glory with tofu in peanut sauce – simple and delicious – I think you make do this in the UK by substituting the morning glory for something like spinach or watercress.
I really must get a new camera, as mine only has 3.2 megapixels (I have recently been informed that this is ridiculous) so can't really be expected to get accross the spirit of the food as well as I'd like it to. I was going to get one in Thailand, but it turns out they are they same price as in the UK. It's on my to-do list anyway.<eot>Please bring a familiar voice along with you to your appointment, which will enable you to judge the difference immediately.<eot>Why marketing automation is important to businesses| Marketing Norwich, Norfolk
Before we consider why marketing automation is important to businesses, we must first clarify what marketing automation is!
Marketing automation is the autonomous delivery of time-consuming tasks that are important but can be missed in favour of more day to day priorities.
What tools can help automate marketing activities?
An example of this in an SEO agency is the manual checks required on websites, so agencies often opt for tools like SEMrush or SEO Powersuite to complete rank and health checks alerting them to the important changes.
With social media manual tasks such as posting at optimum times can be handled by tools like Hootsuite, that schedule and autonomously post these across the various social networks.
For email we see tools like Mailchimp that help collate and manage lists of subscribers, it also allows the WYSIWYG email builder, which saves time with hand-coding emails and testing them - It provides a testing solution as well to pretest your mailer in various computer and mail client configurations.
Better still, mail chimp allows companies to integrate their subscription forms into their websites, this then negates the manual task of adding an email to a list.
So why is marketing automation important?
Because it provides marketing departments and businesses with the ability to simplify the process and focus on other tasks that mean they can focus on creativity and ideation rather than the mundane activities that are needed but loathed by teams or business owners, who can be time-poor.
Five reasons automation is important?
One - It saves time, this increased productivity allows for greater creative thinking
Two - It ensures that tasks are consistently delivered aiding growth
Three - Improves ROI in most cases as the time cost is reduced
Four - Improves business profits as the overheads are reduced
Five - Improved user experience, around communication and results
Marketing growth hacks can help!
When you are starting out, time is always precious and your time in a business is finite so if you can measure it or save time your billable hours can increase without over facing yourself with administrative tasks that may not actually be billed, perhaps calls, reporting and other follow-up activities.
If you are a graphic designer for example you may find it useful to track your time using a solution like billings pro, and this will leave you freer for using LinkedIn or other social media channels to nurture relationships and promote your business.

We were happy when our daughter drove down from L.A. for Mother's Day weekend. When she and I had a few minutes alone, I told her I was writing this article on raising a courageous daughter. I was curious and somewhat apprehensive to see her reaction. I was pleasantly surprised when she heard, she instantly cracked a smile, nodded her head, and gave a little fist pump. Then I asked her what she thought we did to help her to become courageous. She answered in one sentence. No spoiler alerts here; I'll share with you what she said at the end of this article.
Every once and a while, friends or family members mention on how "great our kids have turned out." What's interesting is that sometimes it's the women who comment specifically on our daughter. They remark on what she's accomplished and who she's become. I usually respond that she did everything on her own. This is mostly true; however, we know raising kids is way more complex.
Parenting is very personal. How we decided to raise our daughter may or may not match with others' child-rearing styles. As parents, we made many mistakes along the way. My belief is that certain parenting choices helped set the foundation for our daughter to become smart, strong and courageous.
1. We were quasi-helicopter parents.
I know, "helicopter parent" has a bad connotation. Yes, we hovered around and regularly poked our noses into our daughter's business. She quite often told us that we asked too many questions. I'd contend that better way to describe us was "engaged". The difference between being a full-fledged helicopter parent and a quasi-one is that we did not swoop in and shelter her from hard work or the consequences of bad behavior. We knew that adversity and struggle build character, grit, and resilience.
The inverse benefit of being highly engaged is that we could jump in when adult involvement was needed. There was a time in high school where she encountered an older girl who was a bully. I had no choice but to intervene.
2. We taught her values.
Parents set the values in a family. A few of our core values were honesty, compassion, and perseverance. We also put importance on family, education, tolerance, health, and hard work.
We worked on setting an environment that did not minimize female abilities or contributions. For instance, she was expected to do as well in science and math as her brother. It didn't hurt that her dad had a Ph.D. in engineering. Math was an everyday event and was expected to be easy.
Setting an atmosphere of risk-taking and exploration is so important for children. Exploration helps kids open their minds. They find what they like and don't like and, if they are lucky, they find their passions along the way. In my opinion, risk taking builds courage. Finding out that failure is not the end of the world or just a way to find a different path. Both are important to learn to courageously step out one's comfort zone.
3. We spoke positively about body image and appearance.
In our household, appearance was discussed when it related to age-appropriate dress, health, and cleanliness. An amusing backlash from this was after she went off to college, she chastised me because I never taught her how to walk in high heels or put on makeup. I chuckled and told her after a little practice she would learn.
4. She had female role models.
We often talked about successful women and how great they were. As her mother, it was important to me to make sure she was surrounded by female role models from all walks of life. Not only women who were strong and successful, but also other women who made personal life choices that changed their lives - in sometimes not so positive ways. The comparisons and follow-on discussions were influential learning opportunities.
5. And she had positive male role models, too.
Equally as important as female role models were how the important men in her life treated her. This mostly meant her brother and her father. Her father was a feminist combined with protective father instincts. When she was little, she saw a group of cheerleaders and said out loud, "I could do that." Her dad interjected and said she could never go out for cheerleading. He told if she wanted to be involved in a sport or anything else; she should be on the field and not on the sidelines. As an adult, she often repeats this story. She also finished college as a NCAA All-American.
6. We accepted there's no "How-To Manual."
It is immodestly obvious that we are proud that our daughter and son have grown into kind, smart and courageous young adults. Parenting is tough. Too bad no one has come up with the definitive "How-To" manual. As my mother used to say, "We [parents] do the best we can with what we know."
I promised at the end I would tell you what our daughter said for what we, her parents, did to help her become courageous. Her answer was, "You set the examples."

WoolProducers youth ambassadors "Raising the Baa" for industry
Makaela Knapp from Western Australia is one of this year's Raising the Baa youth ambassadors.
Two young women have been named as this year's WoolProducers Australia "Raising the Baa" youth ambassadors.
Two young women with a passion for the wool industry will have their chance to learn skills that could help them become future leaders, after being chosen youth ambassadors through WoolProducers Australia "Raising the Baa" program.
Erin Douglas from Victoria and Makaela Knapp from Western Australia have been chosen as this year's youth ambassadors.
WoolProducers president Ed Storey said the youth ambassador position offers people aged 18 -35 years the opportunity to learn and understand the policy cycle and how a board works.
"We are very pleased to be able to offer this opportunity to young people in our industry and continue to be amazed at the quality of candidates that we receive each year," he said.
The Raising the Baa Program has two streams, with applicants able to apply to undertake a fully funded Company Directors Course with the Australian Institute of Company Directors, or to be appointed to a WoolProducers' Youth Ambassador position.
Both Ms Douglas and Ms Knapp attended the recent WoolProducers Animal Health and Welfare Advisory Committee and executive meetings held in mid-August.
Enthusiastic wool grower Ms Knapp is involved in her family farm and is actively involved with advocacy, already sitting on WA Farmers Livestock Council.
Ms Knapp said she was honoured to be named a WoolProducers Australia youth ambassador.
"I'm also exceptionally grateful to WoolProducers for the opportunity and their willingness to pass on knowledge to help shape the next generation of producers," she said.
"I cannot wait to see what the next year has in store."
Ms Douglas has had a passion for wool she started working with her high school's livestock show team at age 12.
She continues to be involved with youth through both judging and showing her stud Corriedales throughout Victoria.
Victorian Erin Douglas has been chosen for WoolProducers Australia's Raising the Baa leadership program.
"The opportunity to attend the WoolProducers Committee and Executive meetings has and will continue to be an invaluable experience throughout the following year, and beyond," she said.
"It is an honour to sit amongst such successful, like-minded leaders and mentors of our industry and be a part of important present-day conversations."
"I am excited to see what differences we can make and how this Youth Ambassadorship can support Australia's young agricultural enthusiasts in the future.
"I look forward to making significant connections and contacts and learning along the way."
Outgoing youth ambassador, Sam Wan, well known in the industry through her wool business specialist role with Elders and other industry initiatives, said her time in the role had been invaluable.
"I learn best by doing and by both attending committee and board meetings and working through the policy project, the program has provided me with incredible insight to agri-politics, the fundamentals of policy development and the wool industry in Australia," she said.
"My role as a wool broker has been positively impacted by understanding the processes and people involved with policy development and by being exposed to a detailed understanding of current issues facing the wool industry through a national representation lens."

One thing you learn living in other countries is that the US is a country to be proud of, warts and all.
Many folks from other places are surprised and pleased by the easygoing banter and friendly style of Americans.
Guys like Iso are actually fairly rare.
Except in Texas. I signed the petition for succession,by the way, to help that group GET OUT.

This is the important stuff that Obama needs to keep his eye on. Not devisive politics. China is shipping arms to Iran, while threatening a currency war. We are still printing money and deficit spending while other major players continue to print money. I'm not a gold bug, but certainly think hard assets are a good thing.
One of the financial forecast agencies that nailed the 2008 collapse expects a 40%-60% drop across the market spectrum by summer, followed by a gold explosion in the fall. He backs that up with a very broad range of both fundamental and technical rationale. I'm not betting the farm on anyone's forecasts, but I'm sure betting some parcels here and there. Obama has stated under repeated public questioning (ABC, Gibson) that the economy means much less to him than taking money from those who earned it and giving it to those who won't or can't. We're on our own.
