“I just wish that they would name them all and get it over with,” the former home run king said.
Reds
Third baseman Scott Rolen got a CT scan that came back normal, an indication he could be back in the Cincinnati Reds’ lineup within a few days.
Rolen was beaned on the left side of the head by a pitch from Jason Marquis on Sunday. He sat out a 4-2 loss to Chicago on Monday night due to dizziness and a headache.
Red Sox
Boston Red Sox left fielder Jason Bay was out of the starting lineup for Tuesday night’s game against Tampa Bay because of a mildly strained right hamstring.
Yankees
New York Yankees right-hander Ian Kennedy, still recovering from an aneurysm this year, threw 25 pitches off a mini-mound Tuesday and hopes to play in minor league games before the season ends.
Tigers
The Detroit Tigers recalled outfielder Wilkin Ramirez from Triple-A Toledo and optioned right-hander Casey Fien to the minors.
Twins
Minnesota Twins pitcher Kevin Slowey is out of surgery, and his right wrist is expected to be OK for spring training.
Slowey had a bone chip removed Tuesday.
Orioles
The Baltimore Orioles recalled left-hander Brian Matusz from Double-A Bowie and started him against Detroit on Tuesday night in his major league debut.
Mariners
Seattle Mariners third baseman Adrian Beltre is back in the lineup after a five-week absence.
The Mariners activated Beltre from the disabled list Tuesday and designated infielder Chris Woodward for assignment.
Cubs
The Chicago Cubs have put infielder Andres Blanco on the 15-day disabled list with a strained calf, opening a roster spot for newly acquired Tom Gorzelanny.
Nationals
Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman was held out of the starting lineup Tuesday night against Florida because of a sore left shoulder.
Rangers
The Texas Rangers, who have cut several staff members from their front office and may be sold, are offering a ticket discount for weekday games in August and September as they try to capture their first AL West title in 10 years.

I started using CloudMagic when it was just a search extension for gmail in chrome. Since then, they've only continued to improve, and their email client for iOS is hands down, the best I've ever tried. Sender Profile is yet another move that shows how well they listen to their users and build things that are simple, yet effective. I couldn't be a bigger fan of any company.

Hello Product Hunters! Thanks @_jacksmith for hunting us :) I’m really excited to introduce you to Sender Profile, our biggest update since CloudMagic for Mac (...). This will give you detailed information (job title, location, organization info, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter profiles and more) about the people who email you, right inside a conversation. Why is this a big deal? - 80% emails are read on mobile first, where Gmail extensions like Rapportive aren’t effective at all. - It takes ~12 minutes to research a person on mobile. With Sender Profile, this can be done in a matter of seconds. In true CloudMagic style, this feature does not come in the way of your primary email-reading experience and is designed to save time and hassle. Sender Profile is available as an in-app purchase for $24.99 / year. It’s time to stop being in the dark whenever a stranger emails you. Use Sender Profile and add a little more context to your conversations :) We’ll be here all day answering any questions you might have. We hope you love Sender Profile as much as we do.

PR Team: Trident Microsystems (Sunnyvale, CA) and Gelphman Associates (San Jose, CA) Campaign: High-performance graphics for Main Street Time Frame: May-August 2002 Budget: $25,000Once upon a time in Silicon Valley, Trident Microsystems was a name that everyone knew. The 15-year-old hi-tech company thrived in its early years, selling chips for 3D graphics applications in computers. But that was then, and as the market grew, Trident was besieged with competition. It's two biggest rivals were ATI Technologies and nVidia, and until the bubble burst, Trident battled at least 30 other companies. Last year, ahead of the holiday season, PR firm Gelphman Associates helped Trident regain its footing in the marketplace. Strategy Trident had already identified its market position. The company left ATI and nVidia to the high-end, expensive 3D graphics market, and instead focused its energy on satisfying a growing number of consumers who want graphics cards in the $100 range, not $400 range. Trident sells its chips to PC manufacturers such as Dell and Hewlett-Packard, as well as card vendors, but the problem was that Trident had relatively little presence in the market. One potential customer told the company, "I've got to read about you. I can't plan a line without visibility." Tactics Trident wanted to know why previous PR efforts hadn't worked, and Rob Gelphman, president of Gelphman Associates, had to be brutally honest. He told them to junk the jargon - the self-congratulatory statements and self-serving phrases such as "tech leaders" had no appeal. "You are not a tech leader until someone else calls you a tech leader," Gelphman advised the company. Press releases were then turned into clearly defined statements about the benefits of the company's products. Gelphman also set about generating some face-to-face contact between Trident and the PC press in order to establish the company's credibility with PC manufacturers, software developers, and end users. During a series of demonstrations, Trident avoided knocking the competition, came clean about where it had been all these years, and emphasized the price and performance of its new XP4 chip. Gelphman also gave out new cards equipped with the XP4 to a select group of editors, which in turn generated e-mail review requests from around the world. Results By October 2002, Trident had won two major awards at the System Builders Summit in Amsterdam. And last month, Trident announced four new deals with manufacturers of graphic cards: Chaintech Computer, Hightech Information Systems, Jaton, and Jetway Information. The demos gained coverage in PC Magazine, PC World, Cnet, Maximum PC, and elsewhere, and stimulated further interest in the company's products. Mike Economy, Trident's VP of sales, says, "Gelphman did a fabulous job on an anemic budget. Rob pitched us as the underdog, and gave reporters a David-and-Goliath story. He made it more exciting for them. We've been able to get a great deal of mileage out of that." While Economy says the campaign is helped by a good product, he acknowledges that Gelphman played a crucial role in bringing the company back from the dead. Separately, Trident's publicly traded stock has continued to suffer with the rest of the tech sector, though Gelphman advises there's little Trident can do but keep talking to the analysts and striking new deals. Future Gelphman is still devising future strategies for tech trade shows. At Comdex, Trident invited reporters to receive cards equipped with XP4s from third-party vendors (no meetings involved) to blunt the impact of an expected trade launch by competitor nVidia. | https://www.prweek.com/article/1232786/campaigns-trident-revises-pr-strategy-rebuild-its-consumer-base | 2018-10-15T16:47:09 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
Barclays is seeking outside candidates for the post of
communications director for its flagship retail financial services
division, the largest of the four divisions created in its recent
restructure.
Communications heads are already in place at the other three divisions
but headhunters are still seeking to fill the top job on the retail
side.
The retail financial services division comprises high street personal
banking in Britain and mainland Europe, regional operations in Africa
and the Caribbean, private banking and retail stockbroking.
Barclays’ restructuring, which took effect from 1 April, was designed to
transcend national boundaries by creating four global divisions. In
addition to retail financial services the divisions are corporate
banking, Barclays Capital (investment banking) and Barclays Global
Investors (institutional asset management).
Robert Jenkins is director of communications at Barclays Global
Investors, Leigh Bruce at Barclays Capital and David Lavarack at the
corporate banking division.
The director of communications at the retail financial division will be
handed a worldwide remit and report to its chief executive John
Varley.
Many UK communications staff at Barclays are still awaiting news of what
their new roles will be within the company. A Barclays spokeswoman
said: ’Some are still waiting to see what their new positions are and
who will be doing what.’
Barclays currently employs around 20 communications staff, ten of whom
will work in the retail financial services division. Nick Cobban,
formerly head of UK banking services PR, heads this team until a
director has been found. Susan Cottam, head of group PR, remains at
Barclays to run PR at group level.
The shake-up comes after Barclays sold the equities and corporate
finance part of BZW to Credit Suisse First Boston for pounds 100 million
late last year. | https://www.prweek.com/article/96803/barclays-banking-outsiders-retail-pr | 2018-10-15T16:47:25 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
UCCONNECT Category 8 cables
Today’s network infrastructure is an essential link to information-rich, interactive services.
It is fundamental to the efficiency of your network and the profitability of your business.
But with these increased communication volumes comes increased pressure on data centres and, in particular, the challenge of providing data-centre infrastructure capacity without a degradation of service.
In response, cabling standards are evolving in an attempt to keep pace with the rising capacity demands. In July 2012, industry representatives decided that a copper cable – capable of handling 40 Gb/s of data – was worth developing. Now, less than three years after that declaration, a Category 8,40 Gb copper twisted pair cable has been launched as part of Prysmian’s Universal Cabling (UC) Connect System.
The new Category 8 screen-foiled twisted pair cable is available in two options – an installation cable and a patch cable:
- Installation cable. An outside diameter of 8.5 mm and an installed bending radius of 68 mm.
- Patch cable. Thinner, with an outside diameter of 6.0 mm and a shorter installed bending radius of 48 mm.
Both cable options incorporate four twisted cable pairs, screened using aluminium-laminated plastic foil. This overall cable assemblage is then encased in a copper-braided tinned screen, surrounded by a low smoke, halogen-free sheath.
The construction of our UCCONNECTpatch and installation cables ensures they deliver a data transmission performance of up to 2 GHz – four times the bandwidth of Category 6A cables – and meet significantly higher alien crosstalk requirements. | https://www.prysmiangroup.com/en/products-and-solutions/telecoms/multimedia-and-enterprise-networks/focus-on/uc-connect-category-8-cables | 2018-10-15T17:47:23 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

**Guest post by Anthony Bayerl, EAC
I’ll go out on a limb to say that everyone’s had an idea wither and die because of lackluster delivery. This isn’t a big deal if it’s something like whether or not friends pick your suggested venue for a night out on the town. But, for the engineer or designer it can be a very big deal.
Hours...days...weeks...or even months can be spent working on a design for a new product. In some organizations multiple teams may even ‘compete’ to deliver the design that goes to production instead of the trashcan – and it all comes down to the presentation.
So how do you make your design cut through the clutter and stand out? Add some ‘wow’ factor.
Recently I was part of a design review with our engineers. They were presenting different approaches to solve a problem for one of our customers. It was a series of the typical design presentation: PowerPoint, screen grabs, talking, drawing on the whiteboard...rinse and repeat.
Then a designer came in and slapped a two-inch hexagon printed on a piece of paper down on conference room table. What came next changed everything.
Rather than looking at a screen I was asked to grab an iPad and point it at the hexagon or "ThingMark" on the table. All of a sudden the design was in front me, setting on the table.
An iPad recognizes the small ThingMark on the sheet of paper, and overlays the scene with a 3D model users can see in a real-world setting.
This new approach allowed me to interact with the design like never before. I was walking around the model, zooming and panning, and looking inside the part.
Augmented reality brought the design review (and the people in the room) to life.
There were a lot of good ideas presented that day, but one stood out among the others. If you want to keep your design ideas in production and out of the trash bin, maybe it’s time to consider changing the way you present your designs. Augmented Reality or AR is a great way to engage people with your ideas and add a lot of ‘wow factor’ to your design reviews.
It’s probably worth looking into whether your design tool as something like AR publishing built in.
I don’t want this post to be an advertisement, but I did ask the designer what it took to create the AR experience he brought to the meeting. He told me he’s been working in Creo 4.0 and it only took a few clicks to place a digital version of the ThingMark into his model and then publish the experience.
A 3D model presented within a 3D CAD package. With a few clicks, the designer generated the ThingMark that allowed any iPad with a free ThingWorx app to see the model in any real-world scene.
If you have access to Creo 4.0, I suggest trying out the AR functionality. If you’re not using Creo 4.0, then I encourage you to watch this webinar to see what I’m talking (typing) about.
Have you used AR in anything like a design review or to give a kick to a customer engagement? If so, let me know in the comments below. | https://www.ptc.com/en/cad-software-blog/design-review-coming-up-make-it-unforgettable | 2018-10-15T16:42:20 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

A New Era for A&E Support; Heeding the Call: The LAS Is Placing More Emphasis on Its Urgent Care Service
Article excerpt
Byline: SARAH RICHARDSON
THE London Ambulance Service (LAS) is moving away from aone-size-fits-all service to one that ensures all patients get care tailored totheir needs. While many of the 1.2 million calls received by LAS's EmergencyOperations Centre last year were genuine emergencies, the service believes thatin most cases, patients' needs are not best served by the traditional responseof an emergency ambulance with blue lights and sirens.
LAS estimates that only one in 10 calls they receive is to someone in alife-threatening condition and these are classified as category A and B calls.
This is why it is placing more emphasis on the development of its Urgent CareService, which deals with those patients who do not have life-threateninginjuries or illnesses, and operates with staff trained to treat patients intheir homes.
A&E support is at the heart of the service's aim to provide an increased rangeof responses when a 999 call is made. By taking on the workload of as manycategory C calls as possible, A&E support staff are freeing up the frontline toattend to category A and B..
Pat Tomkies and Chris Roast, based in Edmonton, joined A & E support in itsearly beginnings after working a total of more than 23 years between them inthe Patient Transport Service.
"Our job is to respond to calls that are less seriousabdominal pains, falls, back pains and taking patients to hospices," explainsChris. "We get called to people of all agesa baby of 18 months with a temperature, through to a lady of 109 fallen out ofbed."
Pat and Chris get great rewards from their role. On the first call of a recentshift, for example, they attended to a sick 96-year-old woman who was quitefrightened about having to leave her home for hospital. Pat and Chris spent 25minutes with her and her concerned family, reassuring her and making hercomfortable.
The call didn't need the clinical skills of a paramedic, nor an ambulance withflashing blue lights. In fact, no treatment was needed for her, she just neededkindness, concern and a safe trip to the hospital.
Chris explains: "With someone who has fallen in the home, for example, you'renot going to be in and out in 10 minutes. … | https://www.questia.com/newspaper/1G1-170775154/a-new-era-for-a-e-support-heeding-the-call-the-las | 2018-10-15T17:26:48 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Business Booms for Okla. Fireworks Company
Article excerpt
When a fireworks plant in China exploded recently, some fireworks distributors in the U.S. had to wait longer than usual for shipments.
In Carrier, about 10 miles west of Enid, Western Enterprises Inc. went on with business as usual.
While Western Enterprises obtains some of its fireworks from China, it makes most of its own.
The company puts on more than 600 fireworks shows annually in Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming and a few other states. More than half of those will be this week.
Gary Caimano, Western's director of marketing and choreographer of shows, said Western manufactures pyrotechnic fireworks and produces and choreographs shows for Independence Day, Christmas, New Year's Day and just about any other holiday celebrated by legions of citizens.
Western doesn't sell consumer fireworks to the general public. It makes a lot of them and blows them up for a price.
"The cost depends on the budget the customer has," Caimano said. "A Fourth of July show usually is anywhere from 15 minutes to 20 minutes. The largest shows in some of the bigger markets might go up to 30 minutes, but not often - we don't recommend it. Beyond 25 minutes is too long. That's a long time for fireworks."
Caimano said the price runs from $1,500 to $2,000 per minute. Municipalities pay up to $50,000 for a 25-minute show.
However, most do not last more than a few minutes.
"Christmas shows are very quick, up to eight minutes, because they are tree lightings," he said. "New Year's Eve shows are usually up to 10 minutes because it's cold. You don't want to hold up people too long."
Many factors are considered, he said.
"It all depends on the venue, the event, the sponsor and what it wants," Caimano said. "We do 100 percent of the production. It's everything from the proposal to the insurance to the actual crew, products and execution of the show and security - everything."
Western Enterprises has about 30 full-time employees, but to put on so many shows, it has to hire out. … | https://www.questia.com/newspaper/1P2-16812096/business-booms-for-okla-fireworks-company | 2018-10-15T17:31:55 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

This time of year is about the worst time of year for fish in Iowa’s lakes and ponds, according to a state fish expert. Joe Larscheid, a biologist at the Spirit Lake fish hatchery, says it’s called summer stress.Low water levels and the heat of late summer often combine to reduce oxygen supplies and kill fish. Larscheid says wildlife staff and farmers are virtually powerless to stop the summer stress kills from wiping out big populations of fish in the endangered ponds.But he says even heavy rains can hurt the situation. Storms may raise the lake levels while increasing the amount of nutrients being washed into the water, making the situation worse. Larscheid says another bigger concern than the summer stress is coming in a few months, with winter kills.Depleted oxygen supplies resulted in fish kills last week at: Lost Island Lake in Palo Alto County, a private pond in Polk County and several farm ponds in Warren County.

Disney removes unpopular ‘Frozen’ featurette to focus on ‘Coco’
Walt Disney Studio’s PR and marketing teams are taking a nod from “Frozen’s” Elsa and letting it go.
The company slated a short film from the next installment in its highly popular “Frozen” franchise, “Olaf’s Frozen Adventure,” to run before Disney Pixar Studio’s “Coco.” Now, Disney is pulling the short from theaters—to the relief of many consumers who have complained.
Many turned to social media to complain that the 21-minute short was too long, and others said it felt like forced marketing.
Walked out of the theater to ask an employee how long the Olaf movie is that plays before COCO and laughed when they said 30 minutes because I thought it was a joke. I like FROZEN but this is my nightmare.
— thomas grabinski. (@DaveMatthewsBad) November 24, 2017
Pixar shorts have been great. Always look forward to them. Olaf long prior to Coco was so boring. Arrive late to see Coco. #OlafsFrozenAdventure
— Alex Aguirre (@alexinsocal) December 3, 2017
While it is traditional for the studio to run a short film unrelated to the main feature – some of Disney-Pixar’s best work has been found in shorts such as Lava, ahead of Inside Out, Sanjay’s Super Team, which ran ahead of The Good Dinosaur, or Finding Dory’s Piper – they are usually around five minutes long, and totally unrelated to other projects Disney is working on.
The Washington Post reported: Disney film.)
Though many complained about its length, others said “Olaf’s Frozen Adventures”—which features Caucasian characters from Norway—felt inappropriate before a movie starring Mexican characters surrounding a Day of the Dead celebration.
Dear @Disney, #coco was such a phenomenal movie that had NO need for a 21 minute Frozen TV special to precede it. Let us brown people have this one.
— Playgrounds Games (@Playgrounds504) November 25, 2017
[FREE DOWNLOAD: 13 tips for preparing for a crisis].
Disney isn’t removing “Olaf’s Frozen Adventures” from theaters due to the backlash: It was originally set to be a limited-time promotion in theaters before being released as a special on ABC.
Entertainment Weekly recently reported:
“This was always promoted as a limited run so it’s not really a story — the end of our Olaf theatrical play is coming next week,” a Disney representative told EW. “All our ads and messaging called it as such.”
That messaging can be seen in posts such as this Disney tweet:
Happy, merry, holly, jolly, cutest greetings here! 😻 See #OlafsFrozenAdventure ahead of #PixarCoco, in theatres for a limited time. pic.twitter.com/lqmfpDNKh2
— Disney (@Disney) November 25, 2017
However, some theaters dropped the featurette before the end of its limited run due to backlash. short film is also not winning over viewers’ hearts.
So, where did Disney go wrong—and what can PR and marketing pros glean from the situation?
First, you should carefully consider your audience’s needs. Those who complained might have enjoyed a “Frozen” featurette by itself, but when added to 20 minutes of other trailers and advertisements, viewers’ attention spans waned in the more than 40 minutes it took for “Coco” to start. Those with younger children especially struggled, with some kids falling asleep.
PR pros should also take care to anticipate potential misunderstandings or assumptions, and be prepared to answer backlash when branded messages conflict with consumers’ expectations.
What was probably seen by Disney’s PR and marketing team to be an easy promotion for “Frozen 2,” especially with the featurette’s heartwarming holiday message, was taken by some to be insensitive. Anger and disappointment aren’t feelings any PR pro wants to stir up—especially not from a company which normally delights.
What other lessons can PR pros take from this, Ragan/PR Daily readers?

Radian’s existing data center had disparate systems maintaining individual copies of the same mortgage documentation, creating inaccuracies and inefficiencies through the mortgage insurance processing lifecycle.
REAN Cloud designed and built a platform on the AWS cloud that leveraged a large portfolio of popular AWS services, including Amazon EC2, S3 and DynamoDB, to help automate the end-to-end process.
Financial transactions need to be processed and stored securely and in real time. Together with a giant in the mortgage insurance industry, REAN Cloud has developed an elastic, secure, and compliant data processing framework on AWS that meets these processing requirements and drastically improves the time it takes to make a decision on a loan. This session discusses what we've learned along the way, how we have overcome multiple security and compliance hurdles, and how other organizations in regulated industries can do the same. | https://www.reancloud.com/success-story/radian-customer-success-story/ | 2018-10-15T17:45:17 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

The vote was 213-212.
The vote was 213-212.
Close, but not close enough.
The winners: Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Russia - people who don't like the United States.
Who were the losers, you ask? It was you and me. You see, a few weeks ago, our beloved Congress had a difficult decision to make. The question of whether to tackle our nation's energy problems or take a long vacation came to the floor, and, led by Nancy Pelosi, your elected representatives decided to go for the vacation instead.
While oil looms above $120 per barrel and the price of gas at the pump is more than $4 per gallon, they took a vacation!
This is wrong on so many levels, I think my head is going to explode. When Pelosi and her gang came into power, they said they were going to solve America's energy problem. But what is that sound I hear? It's crickets.
Here's another thing we hear: "We can't drill our way out of this!"
Who says a little drilling won't help? It certainly can't hurt. In fact, when President Bush merely lifted the executive order that banned drilling off the U.S. coasts, that act alone caused the price of oil to begin to tumble.
News flash: There is plenty of oil, but drilling is prohibited. Oh sure, there is plenty of offshore acreage available for drilling, but these areas have been surveyed and either found to be void of oil or it is prohibitively expensive to extract.
There is oil off California's coast. Been to Santa Barbara lately? Watch out for the clumps of oil/tar that wash up on the beach. It's seeping from the ocean floor. Look at a map of the offshore areas where oil drilling is prohibited. That's where the oil is!
There was a catastrophe in 1969 that basically shut down the offshore oil business in California. Could it be possible that we are a little bit better at drilling and environmental friendliness and safety than we were in 1969?
There has also been a very large oil find in the Dakotas. It, too, is off limits, thanks to Congress.
Throughout Colorado, Utah and Wyoming, there are shale deposits that contain oil that we now know how to extract.
There's also the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Millions of acres have been set aside for posterity. There are vast areas of scenic beauty and untouched wilderness in ANWR. But ANWR also contains a coastal plain. This coastal plain is barren and practically void of life.
The area being sought for exploration is 2,000 acres in the coastal plain. This is like asking for a postage stamp size area of a football field. Sounds pretty reasonable to me.
I believe the energy situation in America is jeopardizing our future as a nation, and the prosperity of our children and grandchildren. It is a matter of national security, and the alarm bells have been ringing for a while now.
Alternative energy solutions are years if not decades away from becoming viable replacements for oil. There is no such thing as a hybrid jet. You can't commute in a solar-powered car.
Oil will continue to be the dominant means of supplying energy to the world for the foreseeable future. People are blinded by environmental worries. There are also those who suffer from guilt of having the blessing of such greatness as our country has been granted by God. Others will continue to rail against the evil oil companies, but we stand to be left behind as a nation if we ignore what is staring us in the face. Maybe some people think it's bad being a superpower, but I for one believe it's far better than being third-rate.
We need to stand up and tell Congress to get back to work. Get back to securing our future. Drill here, drill now, pay less at the pump!

Not enough time? Tried it before? There are many reasons why manufacturing companies don’t consider Content Marketing. We’re here to tell you it works. And we can prove it.
Why Aren’t You Investing Already?
Firstly, let’s see if you’re experiencing any of these scenarios, then we’ll teach you how to make Content Marketing an investment with a manufacturer marketing plan.
Our Posts Aren’t Going Viral
You create content, you share it, it goes viral. That’s how it works right? This may work for well-known brands. But remember, large businesses have been investing in content for years and it's why they thrive in the digital age.
Content Marketing isn't an overnight remedy. If you're not allowing enough time to build up momentum, it’s a reason why you’re failing.
You need to invest your time in Content Marketing, it takes a tailored strategy and a lot of input to build traction.
We Aren’t Achieving Our Goals
Many companies report their Content Marketing is ineffective. The Content Marketing Institute’s B2B Trends study (2014) found Only 9% of businesses reported finding it very effective, whilst 14% found it ineffective. As a business, you strive for perfection so it’s easy to understand why some aren’t sold on the idea.
If you aren’t convinced, ask yourself these questions. Did we have clear goals and objectives? Were we sharing our content? How were we measuring its success?
If you don’t have a written plan and haven’t documented your results, then it’s time to re-think.
Define your goals, do you want to improve website traffic or brand awareness? How will you judge success?
There are several exercises you can practice to build a content strategy and you’ll discover the most productive ideas as you progress. We’ll go into more detail later, but here are a few starting points:
- Creating buyer personas - Insightful, semi-fictional accounts of who your target customers are.
- Brainstorming ideas - Get the creative juices flowing by playing some icebreaker games and throwing some ideas around.
- Running content audits - Review your existing content and see where you can re-publish it in a different format.
Our buyer persona template will help you determine who your buyer personas are.
We Didn’t Want to Blow Our Budget
Don’t ignore the obvious, Content Marketing is expensive. Video editors, writers, and designers are expensive to hire whether they’re in-house or external.
You can understand why manufacturing companies choose to invest a little at a time and check the impact on their results.
On average, B2B companies spend 31% of their budget on content. The theory is, by investing minimally you can judge your ROI on that amount. The trouble is, you get what you pay for.
How many times do you go to a B2B Manufacturer’s website and see their last blog post was 6 months ago? It’s a drop in the ocean when you realise that there are millions of blogs posted to the web every day.
Remember
It’s impossible to achieve any sort of ROI if you aren’t consistent.
Why B2B Content Marketing is Important
In the digital age, content creation is a key tactic in B2B manufacturing marketing. Remember content can take many forms, white papers, infographics, photographs and webinars.
Here’s what the Content Marketing Institute had to say about Content Marketing;
It is a strategic marketing approach focused on creating and distributing valuable, relevant, and consistent content to attract and retain a clearly-defined audience.
In 2014 tech giants Philips partnered with The Telegraph, publishing an article every day for 100 days. Celebrities, journalists and explorers prepared the content, which documents how Philips products changed their lives.
This project required articulate planning and 100% commitment. As a result, the brand awareness and trust they built from influencer accounts was phenomenal.
Quick Brainstorm
How would you make a boring topic sound exciting and investable?
Okay, great. Content Marketing is amazing. But why is it relevant to manufacturer marketing? And why bother with a marketing plan?.
Accomplishing this on a regular basis will improve the credibility of your brand.

Improving Your SEO
We’ll discuss some more marketing terms shortly, but for now, let’s focus on SEO.!
It’s Not ‘Salesy’
How do you sell a product without pitching how good it is? By being patient, giving people information and not expecting an immediate return.
Build up a solid work for you for years to come.
See how to adapt to B2B customer behaviours by reading this article on new buying processes.
Focus on the core problem that your business solves and put out lots of content, and enthusiasm and ideas about how to solve that problem.- Laura Fitton, Inbound Marketing Evangelist at HubSpot
What Do I Need to Include in My Marketing Plan?
Here are a few goals to consider when building your manufacturer marketing plan.
Raising Brand Awareness
B2B manufacturing marketing requires excellent brand awareness. Whilst your company may have a big brand presence offline, building a digital-footprint is challenging for some business owners.
The good thing about brand awareness campaigns is their flexibility, feel free to be creative with content and only give subtle hints about what you do.
Design these Content Marketing campaigns to let people know you're out there, so don't make them too promotional.
You need to make people aware that there is a solution to the problem and you’ve got the information they need. This is the Awareness stage of Inbound Marketing.
A fitting example would be Samsung. The video shows how they made a moving, emotive TV advert showing how technology can aid premature babies when their mothers aren’t in the hospital.
Driving Website Traffic
This measure has changed in recent years, with marketers now seeking more information.
Using tools like Google Analytics will help determine what content website visitors are looking at, such as how many people have visited your site, per day, per minute or per year.
Content Marketing isn’t free but it’s cheaper than paid methods of advertising, so if you write valuable content for your buyer personas you’ll generate some rewarding visits.
Need to improve your website? Ask these questions before you do!
Creating Content
If you're starting from scratch, getting enough content to start building momentum will be a specific goal.
If you want to create a marketable portfolio, then it’s important to get your strategy right. Try implementing a SMART goals strategy.
When you’ve decided what your Specific goal is, you can use a content strategy template to Measure how much content you create. Reviewing your content template helps determine whether targets are Achievable, Realistic and Timely.
Aim for 2-3 articles per week, set time-frames for content creation and develop plans in advance to make the process easier.
B2B companies that blogged 11+ times per month had almost 3X more traffic than those blogging 0-1 times per month.
Generating Leads
If your content reads well and you optimise it for search engines then there’s a good chance it will start to gain traffic and people will visit your website.
But it doesn’t stop there. Nurturing your customer is part of the buying process and to qualify them as a lead they need to provide you with some information!
There are many pieces of information that could qualify someone as a lead. For example, a lead is someone that interacts with your business at any stage of the buying process.
For example, they may provide their email in return for an e-book. This qualifies them as a lead in the Awareness stage of the Buyer's Journey, where the customer is troubleshooting a problem and performing initial research.
Segmenting Leads
When your content is generating leads you need to categorise them, this could be demographical like their position in the company.
In manufacturer marketing you may be targeting more than one client, such as director or manager.When creating content, use your segmented lists to determine what your focus is in the content plan.
You may be attracting business directors with certain pieces of content, but failing with content aimed at managers. Use your buyer personas to ensure you are writing the most appropriate content.
Converting Leads
As your buyer progresses through the funnel you’ll give them premium content like live sessions and expert guides. This is where your industry knowledge shines through.
Your content takes on a persuasive form and you’ll start to talk more about what you are offering your buyer. This is the Consideration stage where buyers are looking for a solution.
Be creative, be resourceful and remember to document everything in your content plan to track performance.
Key point
Be realistic when setting your goals. Would you plan a lead conversion campaign if you haven’t generated leads for 6 months?
What Tools Can I Use To Improve My Content?
Blogging
Blogs are the central hub for all your content. It’s where website visitors navigate through your work and seek out the pieces that interest them.
Blogs are versatile and host various types of content from podcasts, graphics and videos.
Although content creation can be expensive, blogs are inexpensive to maintain. Content audits allow you to review your existing content, checking logistics, consistency and accuracy every 3-12 months.
They also give you a lot of freedom to be creative, check out this example.
Neenah are a paper manufacturer, which doesn’t get the blood pumping for most people. Nonetheless, take a look at their website. It’s similar to a news site and the articles are visually stunning.
top tip
Could you take photographs of your manufacturing process and insert them into your blog?
Using CTA’s
If you want to generate leads it’s essential to implement CTA’s into your blog.
A Call-to-Action directs viewers to a piece of content, after submitting their information they can download it. For instance, you may offer a free report template in return for some basic information.
CTA’s are effective as they show interest in your brand, which qualifies them as a lead and moves them further down the marketing and sales funnel.
Content Management Systems
If a blog is a hub for your buyer then the CMS (Content Management System) is your hub. This is where you can access all your content and perform any revisions.
The CMS enables you to create drafts and sort your content with appropriate tags and categories. This helps you manage your content, keeping everything central and accessible.
CMS also have functionality advantages, for example, you can use it to make FAQ content to improve your customer service.
Promoting on Social Media
It’s vital you extend your reach as much as you can when you’ve got a strong content portfolio.
Social media gives you the option to share what you already have, or create new material for your customers.
There are so many social media platforms to select when sharing your content. It’s important you pick the right platform and deliver the right message.
Many businesses and businessmen use LinkedIn to network and promote professional content. Contrastingly, YouTube promotes videos so you would be delivering the message in a different style.
Quick Brainstorm: Generate a few ideas you could use for each platform, remembering how they differ. Consider looking at the user specification for each platform.
Consider this,
44% of online women use Pinterest, compared to 16% of online men.
If you’re manufacturing women’s clothes, Pinterest would be an ideal platform to share your content on. It’s all about building knowledge of where your customers are.
Feeling Brave? Try Dynamic Content Creation
Nearly three-quarters (74%) of online consumers get frustrated with websites when content (e.g. offers, ads, promotions) appears that doesn’t relate to their interests.
Are you offering the right content to people? Use your buyer personas to decide which content offer is appropriate.
This will need coding so consider employing a web designer to install this feature. You’ll need a portfolio for each buyer persona with different content for each one.
Use Online Tools
There are plenty of Content Marketing tools you can use on the web. Read the article 5 Killer Content Marketing Tools that Increase Website Visitors.
Investing in Content Marketing
If you don’t have a Content Marketing strategy, this is why many businesses do. It is your job to educate your buyers, building trust by being honest and understanding.
Ask yourself these questions;
- Think about why you aren’t using Content Marketing now. Can you justify those reasons?
- If you want to build for the future, do you think Content Marketing is a good strategy?
- Do you think goal-setting with a manufacturer marketing plan would enhance your web profile?
- Could you use tools to improve or generate exciting content?
Year-over-year growth in unique site traffic is 7.8x higher for Content Marketing leaders compared to followers (19.7% vs 2.5%).

Hazardous materials training requires general awareness and familiarization, safety, security and modal-specific training, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The law requires an employee to participate in an initial hazardous materials training before doing any work and take recurrent training every three years or any time his job function changes.
General awareness and familiarization training is intended to help employees recognize and identify hazardous materials, states J.J. Keller Training on Demand. Safety training provides emergency response procedures and information on various measures, methods and materials used by an employee to protect himself from the hazardous materials he may be exposed to at work. It also teaches how to avoid accidents.
Hazardous materials pose certain transportation security risks, according to J.J. Keller Training on Demand. The security training requirement is designed to promote awareness of these risks, and it provides detailed information on security plans if the employer is required to have one. The security plan may include specific security procedures and specific security duties, responsibilities and actions for each employee if a security breach should take place. Hazardous materials training may also require modal-specific training specific to each mode of transportation, such as boats, semi-trucks, trains or planes.
Employees are also required to have a current record of completed training, notes the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The record must include the employee's name, the date the most recent training was completed, contact information for the individual who provided the training and certification that the employee passed the training tests. | https://www.reference.com/business-finance/requirements-hazmat-training-39b18ecf215288bb | 2018-10-15T17:20:05 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
Some topics on the basic written CPR exam include the correct way to perform chest compressions, what to do during a choking emergency and how to correctly assess and treat cardiac arrest. The exam also requires students to explain the proper method of opening an airway in patients with potential spinal injury. Some questions address medical emergency situations involving children and infants. The test also asks students to give definitions for different medical conditions, including cardiac arrest.
CPR written exams cover common medical emergencies and the proper way for first responders to treat them. For example, students are expected to know the most common airway obstructions, proper victim responsiveness assessment and techniques for clearing a victim's airway. The test also uses scenarios to cover the procedures that responders should follow in a given emergency. For example, it may present a situation in which a worker is electrocuted before falling from a ladder; in this scenario, students are expected to identify the answer with the correct response, which is to order onlookers to stand clear of the patient before delivering an AED shock.
The test also covers the basics of CPR: airway, breathing, circulation and defibrillation. It requires students to identify the correct number of breaths and compressions for adult, child and infant victims. The test may also ask takers to indicate the amount of pressure that the responder should apply to adult patients, and test takers may have to explain the physical effects of CPR. For example, the test may ask students to explain the importance of compression recoil, which allows blood to flow back into the heart. Another common topic on the test is the Chain of Survival, which is comprised of early access, early defibrillation, early CPR and early advanced care. | https://www.reference.com/business-finance/topics-covered-basic-cpr-written-test-3a4e6b53a8b246cb | 2018-10-15T17:28:02 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
Technological devices such as smartphones, tablets and cameras are top selling items on eBay. Video games and consoles, headphones, mp3 players and laptop computers also consistently sell well, according to eBay's official website.
New items such as cellophane-wrapped CDs or merchandise with a tag still attached sell better than used products, according to Jenny for MoneySavingExpert.com. Also, items from well-known brands such as Samsung, Apple or Black & Decker move more quickly than products without a recognizable name attached. Items listed with a popular keyword in the title also sell well, as they are likely to come up in a variety of searches. Finally, rare commodities and things that are no longer available such as toys, records or out-of-print books also sell well on eBay.
Other electronics that sell the best on eBay include Smart TVs, amplifiers and GPS navigation systems. Other in-demand items, according to eBay's official site, include suits, handbags, backpacks, shoes and wedding dresses made by popular designers and brands. Collectible toys such as RC cars, American Girl dolls, Lego sets, Playmobil sets, action figures and trading cards are among the top selling items. EBay offers extensive product selling guides designed to help sellers maximize their profits. | https://www.reference.com/technology/items-sell-ebay-50632f236f8c6b22 | 2018-10-15T17:32:18 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
A while back a fashion journalist connected me with Anna Brones – writer, artist and activist due to some clear similarities of interest: biking, food, fashion, writing, sustainability, feminism. The list goes on. Before we first spoke I did some Googling around. What became immediately obvious was that Anna is a woman with enormous energy and chutzpah, who dives full force into unique areas of interest. Take her book on the Fika: The Art of the Swedish Coffee Break – (Anna is a coffee aficionado who’s family is originally from Sweden) or The Culinary Cyclist – ranging from practical information on how to grocery shop via bicycle, to beautiful recipes for lavender earl gray tea or a simple healthy breakfast. Her books are works of art in their layout and the visuals included throughout but also refreshingly simple.
Since our first conversation almost a year ago, Anna has become my source of inspiration and a guiding light for how I might one day pump out creative projects without the usual vices of fatigue, procrastination, or any list of excuses I make for watching a crappy film on Netflix rather than creating. Indeed, her Instagram feed, @AnnaBrones is powerful enough to jolt you out of a mid week malaise by viewing one of her beautiful activist paper cuts paired with a feminist call to action.
The epicenter from which she creates is a small town outside Seattle where she grew up and recently returned to with her husband. From their little house in a little town where they commute by bicycle, she creates and connects wildly innovative ideas on sustainability and the potential for a greener life through her writing and art. Take for instance her article on designers who use textile waste for their products, or a company that uses byproducts from coffee that would otherwise be waste or pollutants to make a delicious flour for baking, or a pro bono lawyer for farmworkers and other harder to reach clients who transports her mobile services in her smart car. Oh and she’s also about to teach a class on indie publishing to middle schoolers.
Her latest work, Comestible – is a quarterly publication of seasonal recipes, local food activism, and fun seasonal ways to connect with nature like foraging and gardening. These publications are chalk full of interesting tips for healthy eating like shaving raw asparagus for a salad. And, the paper cut visuals and illustrations are powerful, lovely and simple like the recipes themselves.
As I have long marveled at all of the fantastic creative projects she continuously produces and shares with the world I had to ask her, “Where does all your energy come from?” or “What happens when you look around and depressing things are happening. How do you bounce back?” Her response: When she gets mad at the way women are treated or human rights abuses in the world or the like she marches over to her desk and starts creating and uses that anger and frustration to fuel her work. Whoa.
The other thing I notice is that she winds dark and frustrating issues, like the persistence of white men in the government obsessing about women’s reproductive rights into humor and further creativity. Over the holidays, her Feminist Ginger Bread Cookie recipe had me laughing out loud – not to mention the little cookies are works of art. It is definitely worth reading and saving for next holiday season.
One last note on Anna Brones is that she is the genius behind the rotating set of bike earrings made from recycled bike tubes I wear each week. She has informed me that she will finally be selling her beautiful bike tube earrings. I promise to keep you updated as soon as these puppies are posted.
When I think about Anna’s work and the impact her creativity has I return to the Kenneth Rexroth quote I shared a while back that Anna is also a fan of: “Against the ruin of the world, there is only one defense—the creative act.” Somehow, when our response to dark issues – persistent greed, poverty, violence, environmental degradation, corruption etc. etc., is creative, that we express love, creative freedom and possibility through our observations of a truth, it is transformational rather than adding to a sense of entrenchment in the status quo. So when I encounter a prolific creator/artist and activist like Anna it gives me hope for my own potential and that of our world.
Thank you, Anna Brones, for shining your creative light on our world.
Sincerely,
Reid

I am coming out the other side of getting the financial plan fleshed out for our made to measure vision. Working on it, getting it down on paper, and seeing a complete version has brought a huge amount of relief. And I also had an important change of perspective on the financial planning work, while stepping away from it over lunch to cook and listen to Tara Brach. Her talk was on "Relaxing the Over-Controller - Part 1". At the very beginning of her talk she enlightened me to the startling fact that I probably spend 95% of the day bracing myself to control one aspect or another of my business and my life. A lot of us do: I want to see these emails in my inbox when I wake up (where are they!?), I want to accomplish x, y, and z this week...this month...this quarter. What’s the hold-up!? I want to feel calm in my day-to-day activities. Why am I so anxious today? Why can’t I be calm!!?? I want this person to respond to whatever in this way. I want to have Vietnamese Noodles for dinner. CLOSED!!???? WHAT AM I GOING TO DO NOW!!??? THAT WAS THE PLAN!!!
What becomes especially apparent when one starts a business, though true for every part of life, is that there is so much we can’t control. We can show up, we can prepare, we can be smart, and invest in our relationships, but a lot of what happens moment to moment is beyond our control. When I started on the financial plan for the made to measure work, I knew there was this friction, “I can’t control all these things! I am filling it all in like I can control it but I can’t!!” I would turn to Drew and say–but what if this happens or what if that happens, how do I account for it? It was as if part of my fraught relationship with control involved figuring out how to account for all of the challenges and unexpected events that I, at this point, know to expect. Well that's impossible folks because they are unexpected.
And then it came to me listening to Tara Brach suggest that we shift from the controller to the watchful observer, who stays very present and closely watches what happens. And so the financial plan shifted from an exercise in controlling the future (impossible) to a hypothesis: I am going to take action on x, y and z informed by a, b and c and then I am going to watch and observe and make changes and course corrections. The importance is not controlling the events but illuminating the observations, tracking them, learning from them and using them to make decisions. Ahhh. Breath easy. We are not trying to control the uncontrollable – just enabling a full experience of what we are learning right now to fuel our growth and the growth of our endeavors.
Photo of me with the Riding Denim @ Liberation Threads by Maria Brubeck
In all likelihood this shift from the controller trying to account for every contingency to an observer armed with excellent tools to track their observations is more important than ever before. So much is changing in this crazy world of ours. We can make predictions and take best guesses but ultimately we do ourselves and our endeavors a great service by taking a step back – recognizing that things will unfold in ways that we cannot predict or anticipate and instead focus our energy on our systems and tools to take action on what is really happening moment to moment in our world. Besides if we spend too much time focused on what we think might happen we very well might miss the important details of what’s actually taking place. | https://www.reidmillerapparel.com/blog/2017/5/18/creating-value-part-2 | 2018-10-15T18:12:46 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
Here are five secrets to save you anywhere from 30 to 70 percent when it comes to your storage budget.
Secret #1: There's a service we perform called disk swap. If you've got a storage array and you need additional capacity one thing you might be able to do is re-purpose that array, swap out some of those drives for larger size drives.
What we will do is we will buy the drives from you, let's say they're 300 GB drives and we'll replace them with 600 GB drives, or 900 GB drives. Swap out those drives, you'll save a ton of money. You'll save anywhere from 30 to 60 percent by doing something like that.
Secret #2: Buy used hardware. Now used hardware doesn't mean it's four years old. Reliant trades in some of the latest technology when it comes to storage. You can get VNX equipment, Data Domain equipment, Data Filer System and upgrades, as well as IBM XIV, V7000s, and the latest SAN switching equipment from Cisco and Brocade.
We've got a ton of different options, from the latest technology down to three years old. If you've got an environment where you want to save a lot of money, used equipment can save you anywhere from 30 to 70 percent easily, and it's supported.
Secret #3: Sometimes your storage budget is eaten up with maintenance. You actually can get maintenance on your storage arrays from a company like Reliant. We maintain over a thousand storage arrays and can help you maintain systems from anywhere next-business-day parts replacement to 24X7X4 SLAs, where we come on-site and fix your system.
If you've got a lot of your budget getting consumed with IT maintenance contract costs, we definitely can help you there.
Secret #4: If you have older equipment and you want to trade it in, there might be a lot of value remaining in that equipment. It depends on what kind of equipment it is, and of course, equipment that is newer, two years to one year old is definitely going to be more valuable. There might be value in your older equipment as well. You need to reach out to us and let us know what you have and you might be able to cut a lot of your budget dollars out by reclaiming some of those dollars as well.
Secret #5: Split the project in two. Let's say you've got a storage project, and you've got three hundred thousand dollars. You've just met with your manufacturer sales rep for a system, and the system costs eight hundred thousand dollars. Chances are, I'll use the 80-20 rule, 20 percent of that workload really needs new technology. Let's say it's your VDM project and it needs the latest and greatest SSD drives or flash technology to power that application.
The rest of that workload, the 80 percent, doesn't need that type of performance. I suggest you look at splitting the project in two, buying one system, possibly new for your most critical performance intensive work loads. The 80 percent, take a look at used hardware to save some money.
I hope these secrets can help you cut some money out of your storage budget and give you some ideas to grow and scale and give your customers, as well as yourself, the performance capacity you need to run your environment.
If you have any questions, reach out to us, we've got engineers, consultants standing by to help give you some creative options to expand your environment. | https://www.reliant-technology.com/storage_blog/5-Secrets-to-Saving-More-Money-In-Your-SAN-Storage-Environment/ | 2018-10-15T17:59:39 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Bricolage
BRICOLAGE: construction (as of a sculpture or a structure of ideas) achieved by using whatever comes to hand; also : something constructed in this way
“Bricolage.” Merriam-Webster.com.
Claude Lévi-Strauss in the 1960s and has undergone a complex genealogy of modifications within the sociologies of culture and religion. As Véronique Altglas writes in a forthcoming article, ‘originally a metaphor, “bricolage'” became an anthropological concept to understand cultural and religious creativity, with an emphasis on what organizes it, despite its contingent nature. Transposed in the study of contemporary European societies, bricolage became about what individuals do in relation to cultural practices and lifestyles’ (Altglas Forthcoming).
In this interview with Chris, Altglas – the author of the recent OUP monograph From Yoga to Kabbalah: Religious Exoticism and the Logics of Bricolage – discusses this complex genealogy, tracing a movement from forms of cultural warfare to ‘playful, postmodern bricoleurs’ – what many might be tempted to dub ‘pick and mix spirituality’. However, as Altglas goes on to demonstrate, with a particular empirical focus upon Hindu-based Yoga centres and the Kabbalah centre, far from a carefree process of shopping at the ‘spiritual supermarket’, ‘the original meanings and otherness of elements used in this religious bricolage matter, and in fact limits, the popularization of “exotic” religions’ (Forthcoming).

This broad-ranging interview provides a fascinating overview of an important concept that is not only relevant for the study of contemporary ‘religion’ and ‘spirituality’, but also speaks to cultural appropriation and construction in general, utilizing a number of stimulating contextual examples along the way. Chris enjoyed the interview so much, he immediately went out and bout Véronique’s book… and he suggests you do too!
This interview was recorded at the European Sociological Association’s Sociology of Religion Research Network Conference in Belfast in September 2014.!

History of The Rembar Co.
Rembar History
Situated near the Hudson River in Dobbs Ferry, New York, Rembar was formed in 1950 by P.W. Blackburn (1900-1992). Its goal was to fill the growing demand for refractory metals from industries of the time.
The company began as a distributor of molybdenum, tungsten, and tantalum. These were offered predominantly as wire, sheet, and rod for the power tube industry to be used in grid filaments, glass-to-metal seals, and support components for the high temperature elements of the tubes.
Since that time, Rembar has grown to become a principal supplier of refractory metals material and fabricated refractory metal parts to a large range of industries. These industries include medical, vacuum furnace, nuclear, ion implantation, electronics, defense, communications, chemical, filaments, glass manufacturing and aerospace among others.
The services we provide have also grown. As a result of long experience we have developed systems and procedures that give Rembar the capability to machine, form and assemble refractory metals into the most demanding customer designed components. The Rembar Company can offer almost any type of fabrication of a refractory metal that is possible, at the highest quality.
Rembar’s stringent quality control standards and computerization of both design and manufacturing makes this possible. Inspection meets MIL-I-45208 and we have implemented relevant sections of the ISO 9000 manufacturing and inspection specifications. We are a US National Labs weapons approved fabrication company.
Manufacturing at Rembar has evolved from manual equipment at its inception 60 years ago to the present CNC turning and milling centers. We have met the further requirements of our customers with the addition of sinking EDM capabilities and CNC wire EDM. Conventional machining, forming, and assembly equipment support the more sophisticated equipment.
Providing additional manufacturing and design support is TIG and EB welding capability and multiple dedicated CAD/CAM systems. Of course, our people are always willing to provide both technical and commercial assistance to fully support design, manufacture, and supply.
As you might expect from the longevity of our company we are a good sized, well capitalized firm with many years of experience with refractory metals. Our experienced staff speaks your language when it comes to the applications for refractory metals. Customers return to us year after year for projects that others simply can’t do, or can’t do reliably. Our stock of material is one of the largest in the country. | https://www.rembar.com/about/history/ | 2018-10-15T17:50:13 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

A.
More than three quarters of the site is already let or under offer and major retailers including Hackett, Ted Baker, Guess, Calvin Klein, Jack Wills, Kurt Geiger, Aspinal of London, Levi’s, and Clarks have already signed up.
Due to open in October, the Icon outlet will bring retail to the O2 for the first time since its was redeveloped from the Millennium Dome to an entertainment complex in 2007.
It will also be one of the few outlet centres located towards the centre of London, as they are traditionally situated in out-of-town retail parks.
The O2 is situated 15 minutes from central London and already attracts nine million visitors per year.
“Icon Outlet at The O2 is long overdue in London,” leasing director Marion Dillon said.
“The capital has some of the youngest, most discerning consumers of any city in the world.
“These are people that often think online first when it comes to retail, and spend what would have been their shopping and leisure time seeking new experiences.

Final score: UNLV 30, Fresno State 27, OT
OFFENSE: B
Blake Decker had a very solid game, completing 29 of 40 passes for 332 yards and a score. He did throw an interception and probably saw two more potential picks dropped by Fresno State defenders, but those plays are wiped away by the victory. The Rebels were also able to run for 146 yards to keep the defense off balance, as well. Those who want to nitpick may contend UNLV would have been better served to run the ball more to help protect the 17-0 halftime lead. It’s difficult to argue with the success of the passing game, however. Devonte Boyd helped fill the absence of injured star Devante Davis with seven catches for 77 yards.
DEFENSE: B-
This unit was well on its way to an A+ after the first half. UNLV shut out Fresno State over the first two quarters and allowed just 140 yards of offense. The Bulldogs finally started to find a rhythm after the break and eventually grabbed the lead as the Rebels defense wore down. There were some huge positives to come out of the game despite allowing 27 points in the second half. UNLV held Fresno State to just 2 of 14 on third down and the Rebels came up with a huge stop on downs in overtime. All told, the defense did enough to win.
SPECIAL TEAMS: C
This is an almost impossible grade to determine. Credit must be given to Nicolai Bornand for calmly knocking through the game-winning field goal, but the only reason it was even necessary is because Jonathan Leiva missed a chip shot that would have won the game in regulation. Bornand also connected on a 46-yarder that tied the score with 3:37 remaining. The punt team was also outstanding, downing a pair of kicks near the goal line. The special teams probably deserve a better mark. It’s just so difficult to look past the missed 26-yard attempt that could have cost UNLV a victory.
COACHING: D
Credit Bobby Hauck for making the decision to go with Bornand for the overtime attempt after Leiva’s disastrous try at the end of regulation. That seems like a pretty easy call, though. It’s already somewhat questionable to have a short kicker and a long kicker anyway. Hauck and his staff also designed a great game plan that helped enable the Rebels to jump out to a 17-0 halftime lead.
So why the D grade? First of all, it seems fairly obvious the Rebels should have run a third-down play to set up Leiva’s attempt to come from the middle of the field. Instead, UNLV ran the ball left and the kick from the left hash mark never had a prayer. In response to a question about why the ball wasn’t centered on third down, Hauck ran through several thoughts about having practiced a hypothetical game-winner from the left hash during the week and Leiva preferring the left side to the right before finally acknowledging it may have been a mistake. “Probably should’ve (centered the ball),” he said. Yeah, probably.
There was also a ridiculous fake punt called late in the first half. UNLV led 17-0 and had all the momentum when the Rebels came up short on a fake punt from just across midfield. Why? It made zero sense and potentially gave Fresno State a chance to finally get on the board. Fortunately for UNLV, and Hauck, the defense came up with a stop.
Winning masks most everything and it’s a good thing. There were plenty of issues to point to that would have been a much bigger deal if the overtime period had worked out differently. | https://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/unlv/unlv-football/rebels-report-card-grading-the-win-over-fresno-state/ | 2018-10-15T16:43:17 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Design & Operation of Offshore Wind Farm Support Vessels 2014
TO BUY THE CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS FOR THIS EVENT, CLICK HERE
Supported by
29- 30 January 2014, London, UK
If you are interested in attending a Wind Farm Vessels conference, we are holding another conference in 2016. Please click here for more details.
Offshore wind turbines are becoming an important resource of renewable
energy, and large scale investment is creating extensive wind farms off the coast of many coastal European Countries. This has led to the need for specialised vessels for both install and service the turbines.
In order to help reduce maintenance cost the operators need to develop technologies that allow access and repairs to the wind turbines in worse weather conditions than currently possible, significantly reduce travel times, downtime and thus cost. The importance of transferring equipment and manpower to the wind farms safely and efficiently has led to a number of advancements in the sector. In particular, higher operating speeds have come to be the norm. However, this specialisation has led to the debate on the application of existing IMO instruments on their operation, and whether more specific regulation may be necessary. This is extremely important when applied to establishing maximum operational environment of both the crew and offshore wind farm maintenance personnel.
Conference Content
To further investigate these specialised vessels Royal Institution of Naval
Architects (RINA) invites papers from naval architects, class societies, operators, researchers, and builders on all related topics, including:
- All aspects of design - hull, general arrangement, interior, etc. including innovative features
- Navigation, communication & controls - safety, efficiency, reliability
- Classification & statutory requirements - impact of new rules & regulations
- Sea keeping & manoeuvring - thrusters, dynamic positioning, trials, evaluation

World premiere with precision right down to the thousandth
RINGSPANN presents a new clamping clutch for multiple-axis simultaneous technology
At the AMB 2018, RINGSPANN will once again be showcasing its position as an innovative premium supplier for the international machine tool industry in Hall 3. When it comes to issues of drive and clamping technology, the worldwide active company convinces with high-grade components that help mechanical engineers to realise highly-efficient precision solutions. This time, however, RINGSPANN will not just be exhibiting its precision clamping fixtures, shaft-hub-connections, torque and force limiters, brakes and friction torque limiters – for the first time, a new clamping clutch is also being presented for use in the driven rotary/tilt tables of multi-axis machining centres.
Bad Homburg, July 2018. – When it comes to mastering the three factors of power, dynamic and precision in modern multi-axis machining centres, the construction of workpiece holders and clamping elements play a key role. Continuously increasing demands on achievable accuracies and feasible torques are no longer a real surprise – least of all for suppliers. However, when a renowned mechanical engineer needed a high-precision solution to fix the driven positioning axes of the rotary/tilt table of a new five-axis machining centre, the challenge quickly separated the wheat from the chaff. After numerous manufacturers of clamping fixtures and clamping elements had to decline, the mechanical engineer came to RINGSPANN with its vision.
In the coordinate field of milling machines and machining centres, the rotary/tilt tables or portals form the A and the C-axis. Their function consists in enabling both a precise and quick approach of the workpiece to be processed into any angle setting. To achieve this, the positioning axes with the latest generation of rotary/tilt tables are driven by modern torque motors that can be controlled directly and with a high degree of precision. “And then, as soon as precise angle settings are to be held under stress during the highly precise simultaneous machining, these axes must be held – i.e. fixed. There are already clamping element solutions on the market that achieve this, however none meet the customer’s strict criteria”, explains Volker Schlautmann, the head of the clamping fixtures division at RINGSPANN.
“A real standout product”
Based on an existing clamping technology concept of RINGSPANN, an interdisciplinary team composed of engineers from the customer and RINGSPANN specialists took on the task. The team developed, tested and finally realised a new clamping clutch that convinced the mechanical engineer. And so, for the first time at the AMB at the RINGSPANN Booth C01 in Hall 3, it will be presented to a trade audience and as a world premiere represents the highlight of this year’s trade fair programme. What is so unique about it: At torques of up to 2,400 Nm, the new clamping clutch guarantees a torsion angle of max. 0.007 degrees! “With these key technical parameters – and particularly with this level of accuracy – our new clamping clutch for rotary/tilt tables is a real standout product amongst the known fixing elements in this segment”, stresses Volker Schlautmann.
At RINGSPANN’s AMB booth, trade fair visitors can have the operating principle of the new clamping clutch explained to them. One of the things they will discover is that it employs clamping discs from the RINGSPANN range to transfer the axial force of pressure springs into a radial force and feature a specially designed deformation element. “In this manner, we ensure the torsionally stiff clamping of the kingpin. The clamping is then quickly released by applying hydraulic pressure to the clamping clutch. The torque motor can subsequently freely drive the axle into any other angle setting”, explains Volker Schlautmann.
The new clamping clutch for rotary/tilt tables is now being produced in series and further enriches RINGSPANN’s clamping technology portfolio. At the AMB, the company will however also be showing countless other components from this segment. Among them are precision clamping fixtures for the mechanical processing of cylindrical internal and external surfaces, which are widely available as standardised complete clamping fixtures. They are available in nine versions, so the customer can choose from four flange chucks and flange mandrels in the construction forms bonded disc, taper collet, taper sleeve, flat element and a taper collet centre mandrel. With true running accuracies of ≤ 10 µm, these clamping fixtures are ideally suited for demanding tasks in machining technology.
The next highlight that RINGSPANN will be showcasing is the expanding sleeve mandrel HDDS developed in 2016, which represents an economically attractive alternative to hydraulic expanding clamping tools in gearing technology and fine machining. It stands out thanks to true running accuracies of ≤ 5 µm, can take up workpieces with bores of up to tolerance class IT10 and reduces the costs for feeding and positioning technology in fully automated operation. The HHDS range has since been augmented by an additional, smaller expanding sleeve mandrel, which means that bores from diameters of 22 mm (previously 32 mm) can now also be clamped.
Comprehensive range on display at the AMB
At this year’s AMB trade fair stand, RINGSPANN will not only be presenting innovative components from its clamping technology division, but will also be inviting visitors on a foray through its other product ranges for the machine tool industry. Because, as should be common knowledge by now, RINGSPANN offers among other things a wide selection of technical solutions for the secure operation of the main and auxiliary drives of tool machines and machining centres. Successful examples of this are the form-fit SIKUMAT® positive torque limiters and RIMOSTAT® friction torque limiters connected via friction lining. As overload protection for machine tool drives and spindles, they are ready for installation with various limit torques (0.5 – 10,000 Nm) and speed ranges (1,000 – 13,000 min-1) to choose from. As overload protection for push rods und drawbars, meanwhile, RINGSPANN’s bi-directional acting force limiters are suited for disengaging forces of 3,600 – 140,000 N. A selection of overload clutches will also be on display.
A further focus of this year’s AMB trade fair range is RINGSPANN’s shaft-hub-connections connected via friction lining. Engineers and purchasers in the machine tool industry will find representative examples for all technically relevant types of these connection elements: externally clamping shrink discs for a play-free connection of hollow shafts fixing torque motors on machine shafts connected via friction lining can also be found in this range. In total, RINGSPANN’s shaft-hub-connections cover torques ranging from 0.16 Nm to 4,225,000 Nm.
Since RINGSPANN has also significantly expanded its brake range in the last few months on its way to becoming a one-stop supplier for high-grade components in drive technology, machine tool manufacturers at the company’s AMB booth will also find numerous exponents from this segment. The electromagnetic disc brakes, which can be used for braking, holding and emergency stopping gravity-loaded and driven axles both from linear axles and rail guides, are bound to be a particular eye-catcher. The electromagnetic disc brakes from the EV and EH ranges particularly convince with lean installation dimensions, high degree of energy efficiency, low weight (from 6.5 kg) and numerous Industry 4.0 features (e.g. sensory monitoring). In the field of electrical brakes, RINGSPANN currently offers 16 basic types in four frame sizes with clamping forces ranging from 1,800 to 24,000 N; across all technologies, however, the industrial brake portfolio of the company covers braking torques from 0.5 to 600,000 Nm!

A Good Day!
Good Morning! Today is Labor Day and I hope you are having a good day so far. I returned from teaching at Art Unraveled last week and have been catching up ever since. I leave next week for Atlanta for Altered Jubilee and then come home and fly right out to Virginia for Art & Soul East. What a crazy time!
Art Unraveled was a blast this year! I am sure I feel this way because it was my second year and I knew what to expect, but the atmosphere at this event is fun, encouraging and friendly! I want to thank my students for supporting me and for being so much fun to be around! I truly appreciate all of you!
If you have never attended Art Unraveled I highly encourage you to consider it for next year. I know it is in Phoenix and it is very hot there in August, but the city is very nice and there is plenty of shopping and dining right near by. I will say that the heat really got to me this year! One day it topped 115 degrees. I know, I know...it is a "dry" heat. Dry heat or not, it was like being in an oven. I wear contact lenses and each day was a struggle since it felt like all the moisture had been sucked out of my eyes! When we arrived in Orlando and were leaving the airplane I was so happy to feel the "humid/moist" air hit me! My eyes felt better and I could breath. I am sure it is whatever you are used to. Many folks tell me that they aren't sure how I can live in a place like Florida where it is so humid!
Okay, I want to share something with you today. In light of the tragedy going on in the lives of so many in our country, we all have so much to be thankful for. I have this near my computer where I can see it each day. I don't always focus on it daily, but I try to do so often. I hope you will benefit from it.
Rules For Making Every Day a Great Day...
- Pray
- Think that good things will happen.
- Express gratitude to a loved one.
- Put your gripes away in a box.
- Be patient with an annoying person.
- Do something special for someone else.
- Do something special for yourself.
- Reach out to someone who needs comfort.
- Focus deeply on each moment.
- Learn from a mistake.
- Smile
- Pray
Make the most of your day!

[Manin, Ludovico]
Venice 1725 – 1802 Venice
Componimenti poetici per l’ingresso solenne alla dignità di proccuratore di S. Marco per merito di sua eccellenza il signor Lodovico Manin
Venice: Giovanni Battista Albrizzi, 1764
folio (370 × 259 mm), (43) ff., signed π2 a-d10 2π1, including engraved allegorical frontispiece (π1), engraved title (π2 recto), engraved portrait of Ludovico Manin (π2 verso), full-page allegorical printer’s device (2π1 recto), 16 engraved head- and tail-pieces, and 40 engraved page borders (each repeated once), by Francesco Bartolozzi (except one vignette, designed by G.B. Piazzetta).
provenance with bookseller Arthur Lauria, Paris — Maurice Burrus (1882-1959), exlibris and acquisition label (dated 1938) — sale by Christie’s, ‘Maurice Burrus (1882-1959): la Bibliothèque d’un homme de goût. Première partie’, Paris, 15 December 2015, lot 133
Binding lightly rubbed, but colour vibrant; one upper corner creased, minor loss at foot of the spine.
bound in contemporary pasteboards, over-covered by a sheet of patterned rose-coloured paste-paper, block-printed in gold with broad woodcut frames incorporating foliage and shell ornament, enclosing a semé of stars and escutcheons bearing the armorial insignia of Ludovico Manin (upper cover) and family monogram (lower cover). Preserved in a morocco-backed box.
This beautiful publication commemorates the election in 1763 of Ludovico Manin (1726-1802) as one of nine Procuratori di San Marco, responsible for the administration of the sestieri ‘de ultra canalem’ (Dorsoduro, Santa Croce, and San Polo). This was a high office, carrying life tenure, second in prestige only to that of the Doge. From the ranks of the Procuracy the Doge was usually chosen, and on 9 March 1789 Ludovico Manin was elected Doge on the first ballot. He was the last Doge of Venice, governing until 1797, when he was forced to abdicate by Napoleon Bonaparte.
The Venetian nobility of Ludovico Manin’s generation marked special occasions – a betrothal or a marriage, election to public office, the entry of a son or daughter into a religious order – with elaborate festivities, including concerts, cantatas, serenatas, recitations of laudatory poems and orations. A souvenir of the occasion often was presented to guests in the shape of a pretty, slender book, in which the texts of the canzoni, madrigals, and sonnets, epistles, or orations, were preserved. By the middle of the eighteenth century, these keepsakes had evolved into sumptuous books, adorned with engraved portraits and allegorical vignettes, each page of text enlivened by an engraved frame.1
The rich Manin family from Friuli chose Giovanni Battista Albrizzi (1698-1777), the most distinguished publisher in Venice, to print three souvenirs of Ludovico’s ingresso into the august ranks of the Procurators of San Marco.2 Our book is ‘by far the grandest’ of these three, ‘widely agreed to be the finest example of what may be called “presentation books”’, ‘an epitome of magnificence and invention’ and ‘one of the greatest illustrated books of its period’.3 It contains a dedication in verse by Conte Gasparo Gozzi (1713-1786) and contributions from some thirty-five authors,4 including ‘Canzone a sua eccellenza Elisabetta Grimani procuratessa Manino’ by Cristina Roccati (1734-1814)5 and sonnets by Camilla Solar d’Asti Fenaroli (1723-1769).6
Albrizzi’s publications were especially noted for their engraved ornaments and vignettes, often designed by the finest Venetian engravers. His first books to have engraved borders decorating every page were the 1746 nozze Marc’Antonio Grimani‒Maria Pisani and 1753 ingresso Luigi Pisani; in both, frames designed by Giovanni Battista Piazzetta are repeated throughout.7 Albrizzi’s next such book was the 1763 ingresso Gian Francesco Pisani. For this, the Florentine printmaker Francesco Bartolozzi (1727-1815), resident in Venice since 1748, designed and engraved a set of twenty page borders, employed in pairs, each pair printed four times.8
Albrizzi engaged Bartolozzi again for the 1764 ingresso Ludovico Manin, commissioning a new set of twenty engraved page frames. These were used together with the earlier set, so that each border now appeared only twice.9 Bartolozzi also produced for the new publication a frontispiece, title-plate, portrait, and six vignettes (head- and tail-pieces).10 ‘Together with the Ingresso for Gian Francesco Pisani (1763), this book stands as the ideal synthesis of Bartolozzi’s extraordinary technical and stylistic virtuosity in book decoration’.11
Our copy is preserved in its original ‘presentation binding’ of rose-coloured carte remondiniane, the covers block-printed in gold with a design in the same taste as the decoration within, to ‘suggest the sumptuous character of rich contemporary gold-tooling on leather bindings’.12 The copy was first cased in bare boards, then over-covered with a sheet of paste-paper which had been coloured to look like cloth or leather and block-printed.13 The entire cover was printed from a single, large woodblock. Two frames were cut in the block, with slight variations in cutting: one frame encloses an escutcheon bearing the Manin arms (upper cover); the other an escutcheon displaying the family monogram (lower cover). Separating the two frames is a column of alternating diamond and star ornaments (cover spine).
The earliest known binding of this type covers the 1757 ingresso Lorenzo Morosini as Procuratore (printed by Antonio Zatta), where however the design is achieved from an etched and engraved copperplate.14 Some copies of the 1763 ingresso Gian Francesco Pisani (printed by G.B. Albrizzi) are in comparable bindings, in this instance with the design printed from a woodblock.15 The woodblock used the following year for the covers of Albrizzi’s ingresso Ludovico Manin is cut in a still more pronouncedly rococo style. A semé of stars is incorporated and the covers of the new binding now harmonise perfectly with the page frames and other engraved decoration within.16 No subsequent use of the woodblock has been observed. Reduced copies were used to decorate the covers of Albrizzi’s other 1764 presentation book for Manin17 and on Albrizzi’s 1764 nozze Barbaro-Barbarigo, in the latter instance with the Barbaro arms and monogram displayed on the escutcheons.18 The great majority of extant copies of all these books are in ordinary paper bindings, or otherwise bound.
These other copies in paper covers featuring the Manin arms are recorded:

The ‘new’ vignettes occur on folios a1r, a4r, a7r, b10r, d3r, d5r; the ‘old’ vignettes were employed in Albrizzi’s 1763 ingresso Gian Francesco Pisani (see note 8, above), except for one (folio b5v) designed by G.B. Piazzetta for Albrizzi’s 1753 ingresso Luigi Pisani. Cf. Pettoello, op. cit. (2005), p.256 (stating five vignettes appear here for the first time). Bartolozzi’s portrait is not derived from the painting commissioned by the Manin family in April 1764 from Alessandro and Pietro Longhi (Civici Musei di Udine), afterwards engraved by Carlo Orsolini; see Martina Frank, ‘Lodovico Manin mecenate’ in Al servizio dell’amatissima patria: le Memorie di Lodovico Manin e la gestione del potere nel Settecento veneziano, edited by Dorit Raines (Venice 1997), pp.179-189 (p.187 note 9 and fig. 2).

Australian violinist Emily Sun won the 64th ROSL Annual Music Competition Section Final for Strings on Tuesday 16 February and was awarded the £5,000 prize and sought after place at the Grand Final on 1 June 2016. The evenings’ competition was exceptional; with diverse and entertaining programmes from all but it was Emily who wowed the audience and the adjudicators with her performance of:
· Violin Sonata in G minor – Debussy
Allegro vivo
· Fantaisie Brillante on themes from Gounod's opera 'Faust' op.20 – Wieniawski
The quality of the competition was clear from the very first audition. 38 young musicians from across the Commonwealth auditioned over a period of three days before the final five were selected by adjudicators: Gavin Henderson, Susie Meszaros, Rohan de Saram and Ashan Pillai. 17 year old Stephanie Childress violin, Indira Grier cello, New Zealander Amalia Hall violin, and Australians Ann Beilby viola and Emily Sun violin, made up the evenings all female final; the second year in a row that women musicians have dominated the Strings Section Final.
Australian violinist Emily Sun, a graduate of the Royal College of Music, is no stranger to success having won all major Australian violin competitions including the coveted Symphony Australia Young Performer of the Year Award. Emily has also won the Royal College of Music 2012 Violin Competition and 2015 Concerto Competition. Emily performs regularly with as a soloist with all major Australian Symphony Orchestras, as well as internationally with Symphony Arlington in the US, and China’s Shanghai Youth Orchestra.
Gavin Henderson, Chairman of the Adjudicators, presented cellist Indira Grier with the Len Lickorish Memorial Prize, a £1000 prize. 20 year old, British cellist Indira Grier started playing the cello at the age of four, and for 10 years studied at the Junior Department of the Royal Academy of Music, during which time she won all available prizes including the 2013 Concerto Competition.

Boston physician, orator, and patriot (1741-1775) who was a pivotal figure in the early revolutionary agitation in Massachusetts. Revolutionary War-dated partly-printed DS, signed “Jos. Warren,” one page, 8 x 7.5, May 19, 1775. As president pro tempore of the Congress of the Colony of the Massachusetts Bay, Warren appoints Reuben Evans as “Second Lieutenant in the Regiment of Foot commanded by James Frye esq Colonel raised by the Congress aforesaid, for the Defence of Said Colony….you are yourself to observe and follow such Orders and Instructions as you shall, from Time to Time, receive from the General and Commander in Chief of Forces raised in the Colony aforesaid, for the Defence of the same, or any other your Superior Officers, according to Military Rules and Discipline in War, in Pursuance of the Trust reposed in you.” Neatly signed at the conclusion by Warren and countersigned by Samuel Freeman as secretary pro tempore. Mounted, matted, and framed to an overall size of 20.75 x 20.25. In very good to fine condition, with intersecting folds, a light overall block of toning, trimmed edges, and signs of possible restoration.
Exactly one month prior to signing this document, Joseph Warren participated in the Battle of Lexington and Concord along with the two soldiers named here: Evans was an ensign in Frye’s regiment when they responded to the Lexington Alarm. Less than a month later, on June 17, 1775, all three men would fight at Bunker Hill—Warren’s last battle, as he was killed in action during the third and final British assault on the hill. Dating to less than a month before his death, this is an exceptionally desirable war-dated document from the sought-after American hero.

Master's Thesis:
Reading Culture. Walter Benjamin and Theodor Adorno on the Meaning of Cultural Phenomena
Summary:
In every epoch there are cultural phenomena which seem to transcend their own direct meaning and become a symbol of their time. For this reason, they can become an object of cultural-philosophical research. The question underlying my thesis is if and how one can ‘read’ these cultural phenomena. Some of the most interesting and sophisticated theories concerning the relation between society and culture have been developed by Walter Benjamin (1892-1940) and Theodor Wiesengrund Adorno (1903-1969). Although they both criticize Marx’s base-superstructure model (in which the cultural superstructure is determined by the economic base), they maintain the possibility of meaningful views on society via cultural phenomena. They often speak of culture as a form of language: cultural phenomena are called Schrift, Rune or Hieroglyphe, which are to be deciphered by the critical reader. In this thesis I investigate how Benjamin’s and Adorno’s notion of ‘reading’ is to be interpreted. How should we read, what can we read and what can be gained by reading?
In chapter one, I discuss Benjamin’s and Adorno’s theories of language. Language stretches beyond texts and the spoken word: human language is only but one form of interaction between man and its surroundings. By virtue of man’s ‘mimetic faculty’, we are able to read objects and works of art as if they have a language of their own. Once we have a clear vision of what it means to read, we discuss what can be read. The crucial term in chapter two is Monade. This Leibnizian-inspired concept entails that the smallest thing can in itself represent the universe. In chapter three we investigate what can be gained by reading cultural phenomena. What is it that the reading of cultural phenomena gives us knowledge of? Adorno emphasizes art’s ‘truth content’, a latent social truth in art. Benjamin is more ambitious and argues that reading culture releases the revolutionary energy hidden inside cultural phenomena, thus bringing about social change. At the end, it remains to be seen what their theories mean under the current social conditions: is their still use for reading cultural phenomena in Benjamin’s and/or Adorno’s way within our society and within the (post)modern philosophical debates? | https://www.rug.nl/filosofie/education/theses/2006/lijster | 2018-10-15T18:33:18 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Forest cleared in southern China to build illegal homes
Authorities try to trace builders of houses in a remote area of Shenzhen, according to newspaper report
Related topics
An area of forest in southern China has been cleared to make way for the illegal construction of two houses, according to a newspaper report.
The plot was used to build the homes without official approval in Shenzhen in Guangdong province, the Southern Metropolis News reported.
Urban management and forest authority officials are trying to find out who cut down the trees and built the houses, the report said.
The buildings were in a remote area and so escaped routine inspections.
The two houses were finally spotted by a drone.
Thousands of tombs ‘taking up space of living’ demolished in China
The building work has received a lot publicity in Shenzhen and the authorities have pledged to knock down the homes by the end of this month and replant the trees.
The builders planted thousands of other trees, without permission, near the homes.
It is not clear if the authorities will clear the plantation.

Senator Antonio Trillanes IV is now Philippine leader Rodrigo Duterte’s public enemy number one. Last week, the president ordered his arrest to face a military court for trying to unseat a former president when he was a 32-year-old navy lieutenant. But the officers sent to detain the 47-year-old senator were stopped by the Senate president because they had no arrest warrant.
Duterte’s action may have looked sudden but it wasn’t. A year ago, the president told the nation’s top businessmen that Trillanes “is bent on destroying me”. “So I destroy him or he will destroy me. That’s just the way it is,” he said.
Duterte wants to arrest Trillanes over the 2003 siege he led on Oakwood Premier Ayala Centre (now Ascott Makati), demanding military reforms and the resignation of president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. The day-long Oakwood siege failed and Trillanes along with 323 soldiers who called themselves the Magdalo group surrendered and were jailed.
Trillanes was pardoned in 2010 by Duterte’s predecessor, president Benigno Aquino III. But Duterte, an Arroyo ally, revoked that pardon last week. The senator now is holed up in the Senate building in Manila. He said he tried to leave on Thursday but stayed after staff saw men on motorcycles following his official car.
A few things missing in flood-hit Manila. Duterte is one of them
Duterte revoked Trillanes’ pardon on the grounds his application form was missing; he never expressed guilt or apologised; and Aquino did not sign the amnesty papers. Trillanes is contesting all three grounds in court.
The hostility between Duterte and Trillanes is palpable. It started during the 2016 presidential campaign when Trillanes accused the former Davao City mayor of not declaring a secret hoard of 211 million pesos (US$3.9 million). Duterte shot back, calling Trillanes “ambitious” because he had earlier offered to be the would-be president’s running mate.
Duterte has a history of getting rid of his critics. In February last year, using convicts as witnesses, he succeeded in jailing opposition Senator Leila de Lima for drug trafficking. And last May he got the Supreme Court to remove chief justice Maria Lourdes Sereno for failing to disclose her assets and wealth. Duterte also desperately wants Leni Robredo replaced as vice-president by ally Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jnr. The president has repeatedly said he will step down once Marcos is made his deputy.
But Duterte has reserved special venom for Trillanes. He initially tried to frame the lawmaker with money laundering in Singapore – charges Trillanes squashed by asking a Singapore bank to certify he had no accounts there. Duterte admitted he had “invented” the accounts to catch Trillanes lying.
This was after the senator summoned the president’s son Paolo Duterte to a Senate probe on the smuggling of 6.4 billion pesos worth of crystal meth from China. Paolo Duterte denied having Chinese triad links, but also refused to show his bare back to Trillanes, who claimed there was a tattoo to prove the allegations.
With a reputation as a mutineer and troublemaker, Trillanes divides opinion.
Mikko Perez, CEO of tech company Ayannah, said: “I did not like Trillanes back in 2003 … I thought he was a troublemaker and bad for business.
“But when he staged the next ‘mutiny’ at the Manila Peninsula in 2007, I began to see why principled men like him had to resort to such measures to bring public attention to rampant corruption in government.
“Now, I wish we had more leaders like him,” he said.
Retired General Jose Almonte, the former right-hand man of president Fidel V Ramos, agreed.
“I think he is a patriot,” he said. “You know, the decision to rebel is a major decision, especially if you are a junior officer. Because you jeopardise your career, even your family. No one would risk his life if the reason is not bigger than himself.”
One stock market analyst, who didn’t want to be identified, said he thought the senator was “being used by someone, like Chavit [Singson]”, referring to the high-powered Ilocos Sur province governor.
But Trillanes, now 47, insists he is his own man.
“That’s the impression, largely because people see me as being young,” he told This Week in Asia. “[It] is very much inconsistent with the realities.”
He said when the Magdalo mounted Oakwood, they had “looked up to” former army colonel turned senator Gregorio Honasan. “At that time, as soldiers, we don’t have any policy prescriptions. Our primary concern was the reforms in the armed forces and to expose corruption. So Senator Honasan then had this set of policy prescriptions we believe seemed sound.”
Why left-behind Filipinos back Rodrigo Duterte
Looking back, Trillanes said seven years in jail and 11 years in the Senate had reshaped his thinking and that of his comrades in the Magdalo. One thing that you don’t learn in the military, he said, is “consensus building”.
“You just do as you’re told to accomplish your mission. But in the case of the Senate your mission is to pass laws ….in order for you to accomplish that mission you need to build consensus.”
Focused on “making sure there will still be a democracy by 2022”, he said he sees Duterte possibly declaring martial law nationwide, then shifting to a revolutionary government.
He called Duterte’s governance “the ampaw presidency”, a reference to the crispy puffed rice ball with a hollow core. “It looks firm and solid from the outside, but there’s nothing inside … This administration would crumble very, very fast because their base is not that solid,” he said.
“And Duterte himself does not have the leadership and management skills to deal with the complex problems of a national government,” he added.
“Now, should there be a presidential election in 2022, I would rather rally people under Vice-President Leni Robredo as the opposition leader,” he said.
Trillanes, according to Duterte’s office, is a spent force with no following in the armed forces. But Trillanes said there were at least a hundred Magdalo still in active service and “if Duterte leads them in a direction that is entirely beyond their constitutional mandate, then they can choose to either follow him, or follow the people”.
Will Duterte's sharia gift bring lasting peace to southern Philippines?
“Historically, the armed forces as an institution knows the answer,” he said.
Duterte’s campaign could end with Trillanes back in jail. But this may not be such a bad thing for the senator. Rather than destroying him, it may energise his political career, according to Jose Antonio Custodio, a military historian who once worked in the armed forces planning office. He said Duterte’s “illegal act” of stripping the opposition lawmaker of his amnesty and ordering his arrest “practically guarantees Trillanes will be in the limelight until 2022”.
“The correct way to deal with Trillanes is simply to tolerate him and allow him to fade into oblivion following June 2019 when he steps down, but it’s too late for that,” Custodio said. ■ | https://www.scmp.com/week-asia/politics/article/2164294/how-catch-mutineer-philippine-senator-spooking-duterte | 2018-10-15T17:33:38 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

British astronaut Tim Peake will today say goodbye.
With him will be Principia mission crewmates, US Nasa astronaut Colonel Tim Kopra and Russian cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko.
Shortly after 3am, the three men were due to scramble from the International Space Station to the Soyuz TMA-19M spacecraft that took them into orbit on 15 December last year.
Closing the hatch will mark the official end of Major Peake’s historic mission, which earned him an honour from the Queen for “extraordinary service beyond our planet”. He was made a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George for “extraordinary service beyond our planet”.
Major Peake was the first British astronaut to be sent to the ISS by the European Space Agency, and only the second Briton in space after Dr Helen Sharman’s trip in 1991.
• READ MORE: How will astronaut Tim Peake re-adjust to the world?mph to 514mph and raise the outside temperature to 1,600C. The rapid deceleration will push the crew back into their shock-absorbing seats with a force of around 5G – five times.
Fifteen minutes before landing, four parachutes will be deployed in succession. One second before touchdown, retro rockets will fire and the spacecraft will hit the ground at 3mph. The capsule is expected to land in a remote location on steppe scrubland more than 200 miles from the Kazakh city of Karaganda.
The crew will then be helicoptered to Karaganda airport, where according to tradition they will be offered bread and salt and a traditional Kazak hat.
Major Peake will then be flown to the European Astronaut Centre in Germany, while his American and Russian colleagues go to Houston and Star City, near Moscow.

Strategic Praying Pt. 2
Contributed by Daniel Olukoya on May 2, 2011 (message contributor)

Last time we started to look at a topic called Strategic Praying, that is, prayers with specific purposes, and we went on to look at the meaning of prayers. We also looked at prayers and their strategies. Also, we enumerated some great miracles recorded through prayers. They include:
• DIVIDING OF THE RED SEA.
• OBTAINING BREAD FROM HEAVEN.
• THE DEFEAT OF THE ARMY OF SENACHERIBB.
• THE TURNING OF THE COUNSEL OF AHITOPHEL TO NOTHING.
• THE SUN STANDING STILL ETC.
We also said that prayer is a mystery and we looked at some of the ways to do strategic praying, which included the following:
1. OBSERVING THE LAWS OF PRAYERS.
2. CREATAIVE PRAYING.
In this message, we shall continue and conclude on the remaining principles:
3. CEASELESS PRAYING:
In 1 Thessalonians 5: 17, it is written “Pray without ceasing.” For somebody to pray ceaseless prayers, he will need to train himself to do so by disciplining the flesh, because the flesh does not want to do anything spiritual. Therefore, it should be subdued and be put in a position where it will always be praying. Any free moment that you have, and you are not reading your Bible, it is advisable to be praying, no matter where you are, that way, prayer becomes a habit. If you wait until you feel like praying, before you pray, you will not pray at all. Every good prayer warrior will tell you that prayer is not easy.
THE BATTLE OF THE BED
Sometime ago, during my stay in England, a certain man woke up one day and began to scream, “I have overcome the battle of the bed.” At first, those of us around him did not understand what he meant by that. So, we asked him, and he said that he used to do his quiet time in bed because of the cold weather. And he never succeeded in achieving anything, because he usually slept off. The environment was very cold so no one wanted to get out of the bed. But from the day he jumped out of bed, prayed for about two hours, did it the second and third time, he found that he had overcome the battle of the bed. Unfortunately, many people today have not overcome the battle of the bed.
It is a great waste of time for somebody to go to a night vigil to sleep. If you do not train your body on the act of prayer, you will always have problems. The flesh will always war against you. It will complain of tiredness and when there is a fasting programme, it will remind you of ulcer and all sorts of things. Therefore, learn the principle of ceaseless prayers. It is better for one to pray three prayer points and do them very well, than for such a person to do a night vigil half awake. When you pray without ceasing, you are storing up prayers for yourself. That is why the Bible did not say, preach without ceasing, teach without ceasing or praise without ceasing, but it says, “Pray without ceasing.”
4. LEARN BOLD PRAYING:
John 16: 23 says, “And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever you ask the Father in my name, He will give it to you.” Beloved, let us come boldly before the throne of grace, that is, do not settle for minimum divine power, ask for a big thing, because we are serving a big God. He does not complain about somebody praying big, rather He is not happy when we ask for small things. He wants our prayers to be far above our natural thoughts or previous experiences. Pray without minimizing what you want from God; pray with the assurance that God has no limit. For the Bible says, “Open wide your mouth and I will fill it” (Psalm 81:10). That is, ask for a big thing. God welcomes and encourages very bold prayers, that is why He always says things like ‘whatsoever,’ ‘anything,’ ‘all things’ etc. That is without limit because He is a limitless God. To God, all difficulties are the same thing. I want you at this juncture to close your eyes and begin to ask for a big thing from the big God. Ask Him too to advertise His glory, kingdom and power in your life, in the name of Jesus.
5. UNITED PRAYERS:
As much as possible, participate in united prayers. In Acts 4:24, it is written, “And when they heard that, they lifted up their voices to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made the heaven and the earth, and the sea and all that is in them.” Beloved, the disciples did not just pray, they opened their mouth loud and cried unto the Lord. And in verse 31, the Bible says that the place where they were was shaken. That is the result of united prayer. When Christians are united in prayer, the power of God will come into their midst. Remember that the Bible says that one person will chase away one thousand and two will chase ten thousand, therefore, five thousand people will chase away millions. The power of united prayer can be likened to a situation where a man wants to kill a bird on a tree, and he throws a stone at the bird. There is the tendency for him to miss the bird. But when about 1,000 men throw stones at the bird at the same time, surely, there is no way the bird will escape. There is power in united prayers, but the unfortunate thing is that some people come to the church but refuse to repent. Some even come to the church and are still filled with anger, malice, fornication, bitterness etc. The prayer of such people pollutes the others and cannot be effective. But when holy men with the fire of God in their lives get united in prayer, they shake things and move mountains. Therefore, as much as possible, participate in united praying. Families must do united praying. Schools must do united praying. I remember when I was in primary school, every morning, we used to pray on the assembly ground before we went to our classes. I don’t know if that is still the case today. I pray that God will help us, in Jesus’ name. When there is united praying, power will increase. Therefore, if you see anybody avoiding or running away from united praying then something is wrong somewhere.

At Pentecost, the Holy Spirit descended on those gathered together after Jesus’ resurrection and ascension into heaven. Tongues of fire appeared. Everyone suddenly started speaking in a different language. Jews from every nation were staying in Jerusalem at this time, and were shocked when they overheard people speaking in their various native languages (Acts 2:1-11).
The Pentecost story is a story of unity: people from different nations who spoke different languages were all able to understand each other, because they were united in the Spirit. As we celebrate the Easter season and move toward Pentecost, we remember that the Holy Spirit unites us still today, regardless of the language we speak or where we live. And as members of one family, let us speak with one voice to support our brothers and sisters from every country who need our assistance.
Our brothers and sisters around the world are leaving their homes and everything they know. They are in search of safety, stability and a better future for themselves and their families. And, we have an opportunity to stand with them by ensuring that the United States provides the leadership and aid required to help refugees, and to address the reason why people are forced from their homes in the first place.
Take this opportunity to walk with your neighbor on their journey and speak out for them.
Refugees need your support. Tell your members of Congress to support refugee funding and to protect lifesaving foreign aid for refugees around the world today!

Gingerbread Fest a candy wonderland
The annual Gingerbread Festival at the Waelderhaus in Kohler, 1100 West Riverside Drive, is a candy wonderland like no other. The event is open now through Dec. 30, closed Thursday and Friday, Dec. 24 and 25.
The adventure begins by walking through the large wooden doors of the historic “House in the Woods.” The building, dedicated in 1931, takes one on a journey to Bregenzerwald, Province of Vorarlberg, Austria, the ancestral homeland of the Kohler family. When you enter the main hall, known as the Saal, you first smell, and then see, dozens of carefully crafted gingerbread houses of all colors, styles and genres displayed on long tables throughout the room.
Guests are greeted by Waelderhaus hosts, given voting ballots and are invited to enjoy a gingerbread cookie — perhaps the cookies dissuade little hands from touching the sweet goodness around them.
The vibrant, sugary displays are made by Sheboygan County school groups and organizations. With an open theme, the creations are left to the imagination of the creators, which is one of the aspects visitors enjoy most.
“Every year (the houses) get better,” said Debbie Weber of Kohler Foundation Inc., the group that sponsors the annual event.
Weber admires the displays' imaginative ideas and attention to detail, noting Rapunzel’s hair dropping from a castle turret.
Candy, pretzels, marshmallows and other edible treats are used in numerous ways to create a variety of scenes including a penguin party, Ewok village, Hero City, Wizard of Oz, Christmas camping, Jesus in the manger, churches, the North Pole (complete with a train), lighthouse, barn, ski resort, pyramids in Egypt and more.
“It’s wonderful to see what the kids are creating. You can tell there’s a lot teamwork (in their masterpieces). It’s interesting to see what they can come up with, and how they tell parts of the Christmas story, or highlight their favorite movies,” said Brian Morgan of Sheboygan. He’s been visiting the gingerbread displays for the last six years — coming every time his daughter, 12-year-old Kaylee, performs at her annual recital with VanMaaren Violin Studio.
Weekly musical performances are part of the holiday fun and are held at 2 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday throughout the festival. This year’s performances have included the Golden Chordaliers, Concordia Singers, Plymouth High School Junge Kameraden German Band and North High School Northern Lights Singers, among others. This weekend’s performers will be Katherine Ray on Saturday and Sheboygan Symphony Carolers on Sunday.
Since 1997, the Gingerbread Festival has been catching the fancy of adults and children. The event, which opened the weekend after Thanksgiving, runs daily until Dec. 30.
Guests are encouraged to vote for their favorite displays and the winning groups in each age category are awarded cash prizes for their school or nonprofit organization. The overall highest vote-getter in 2014 was created by Cedar Grove-Belgium Elementary School, titled "Castle in the Clouds."
While some people are visiting for the first time, others visit daily to vote on their favorite displays.
“We enjoy meeting all the people that come through,” said Judy Leonhardt, who was serving as last Saturday’s hostess and doubles as a tour guide of the Waelderhaus. Tours are available daily. More than 100,000 visitors have entered the doors since the first Gingerbread Festival and 7,500 visitors are expected this year.
“People smile when they walk in,” said Weber.

Morris looking to make his mark at Wembley
Striker Carlton Morris is hoping to bring the trophy back to Shropshire this evening, as Town prepare to face Lincoln City in the Checkatrade Trophy final.
Morris, who has never played football at Wembley before is looking forward to the break in the league campaign to focus on the Checkatrade final, he said: “We won’t have another league game for a while so its like going into the international break off the back of a win.
“But this international break is a cup final at Wembley so it’s something to really look forward too. I can’t wait to get there and spend some time in London and then play the big game on Sunday.”
Although the big occasion is upon the team, Morris isn’t letting the event faze him, he said: “We’re just going to take it as it comes, that’s what we have done as a team all season, we have taken it a game at a time.
“We have turned up, been ready and prepared and that’s what we’re going to do on Sunday. We will be doing a lot of preparation this week. Hopefully what we can do, will be too much for them anyway.”
Morris is looking forward to the occasion and the support his side will get during the day: “I’ve got friends and family who will be turning up in numbers, so I will have a lot of support from my friends and family and obviously from the Shrewsbury fans, so it will be a good spectacle.
“It will be a good day out for everyone, for all the Shrewsbury fans and I think with the support we have got this season, I think they deserve a day out so I’m glad we could get that opportunity for them.”
Morris is looking forward to the game but also feels it’s important to bring the trophy home, he said: “I can assure you all the lads in the changing room want to back up our success we have already had this season. We want something to show for it, whether that is promotion or winning this cup.
“There won’t be a stone unturned, we will be preparing and doing everything right going into the game and hopefully we will have too much for them.
“You can’t go into a game expecting to get nothing, we have got to have confidence going into every game.
“The Fans deserve something for all the support the have given us this season, it does make a big difference.”

Suns point guard Goran Dragic said that Spain is the favorite to win the FIBA World Cup this month, according to a tweet from USA Today Sports' Sam Amick on Tuesday.
Dragic, whose native Slovenia was routed 119-76 by the U.S. on Tuesday, said "so far, Spain" is his choice to win it all at the global basketball tournament. Spain, who is hosting the games, could see a final against the U.S., the perennial favorites in part because of their gold medal won at the most recent Cup in 2010.
The 28-year-old Dragic, named the 2014 Most Improved Player of the Year in the NBA, averaged 20.3 points, 5.9 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.4 steals last season for a Phoenix team that narrowly missed the playoffs.
The FIBA World Cup final is Sept. 14, with the winner automatically qualifying for the summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil in 2016.

NEW BREMEN – Acceptance of the donation of a new snowblower and action to vacate a street were the top items of the New Bremen Village Council at its Monday night meeting.
Jason Schrader, New Bremen Schools superintendent, requested council begin the procedure to vacate approximately 825 feet of Cardinal street, from state Route 274 and Kettler Road. Council agreed to hold a required public hearing on Monday, Oct. 22 from 6:15 to 6:30 p.m. in Council Chambers located at 214 N. Washington St.
This vacation is part of the planned construction of a new elementary school southeast of the current high school and will allow installation of a one-way drive in front of the school complex. Schrader said the one-way drive will allow drop off of students and is long enough to accommodate 68 vehicles. It was undecided whether the remaining part of Cardinal street will be ended in a cul-de-sac or attached to Kettler Drive.
Cardinal street residents Bill Lennartz and Steven Vonderhaar came to the meeting to support the installation of a cul-de-sac as a way to prevent through traffic where children are walking to school.
The property transfer from Crown Equipment to the school district is expected to be completed next week. The bids for construction of the new elementary are expected to be in at the end of January 2019. Drawings of the project can be seen at the school’s website.
In other action, council accepted the donation of a $29,450 SMI Standard Polecat snowblower from Diane Komminsk. Council’s park committee chair man Don Kuck said the equipment will be used to add snow to the village’s sledding hill this winter. It was agreed the machinery will only be operated during business hours when temperatures are below 28 degrees. Electricity will come from a village generator and water from a nearby hydrant.
Village Administrator Chris Dicke said the Eastmoor Drive/Front Street project was nearing completion, with the asphalt base being put down that day and the intermediate and final layers added next week. She said that although extra money needed to replace bad subgrade had added to the total anticipated construction costs, the project is still expected to be completed for around $1.6 million, much lower than the original estimate of $1.8 million.
Dicke also said that the Wierth Ditch project was nearing completion and the light poles and traffic poles repainting project was complete except for traffic signal poles. Work is also continuing on the new software purchased by the village to track activity and expenses. Finally, she said they are beginning planning for the next budget year.
Council also passed a third and final reading of an ordinance to raise water rates 10 percent in 2019, with an additional increase of 3 percent each year thereafter.
A second reading was approved to enter into a CRA agreement with Crown Equipment Corporation granting a 100 percent tax abatement for 10 years on new construction begin considered by the company.
A first reading was also approved to grant JD Gilberg a CRA tax abatement for the new brewery to be built at the village’s industrial park. Passed as as an emergency after a second reading was an ordinance to adjust pay scale classification of New Bremen patrolmen.

Reno airport officials celebrate inaugural Long Beach flight connection

RENO, Nev. — Reno officials on Aug. 15 welcomed Jet Blue's inaugural flight linking Reno to Long Beach with non-stop daily service.
In a celebration on the tarmac at the Reno-Tahoe International Airport, the Damonte Ranch High School marching band and cheer team performed for dignitaries waiting for the flight as the Jet Blue Airbus 320 landed and unloaded.
"Thanks to Jet Blue we now have a new destination to add to our list of cities that we serve," Marily Mora, president and CEO of the Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority said in welcoming comments.
Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve noted the "Incredible opportunity where we're bringing palm trees and pine trees together."
Rick Murdoch, board chairman for the Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority, noted that the airport generates about $2 billion into the local economy from planes landing and taking off.
"We know how important this is to Reno-Tahoe and we're not just Reno, we're Reno-Tahoe," said Murdoch, who is also the vice president of sales and marketing for Eldorado Resort Casino. "We're all on one team growing the right way. When Jet Blue came to Reno and they made New York happen, they said 'if you guys do well with us and be good partner with us we'll give you another (city connection), we'll give you Long Beach.' So obviously Reno-Tahoe has stepped up and Jet Blue has stepped up."

Rex Richardson, vice-mayor of Long Beach, and Steve Goodling, president and CEO of the Long Beach Convention and Visitors Bureau, spoke on behalf of the Long Beach officials.
"I know that it will be a great reciprocal relationship," Goodling said. "I know our residents love to come here but also (Reno residents are invited to enjoy) the beach, palm trees, water, and ocean; that's what we have to offer."
Tom Bert, executive vice president of corporate affairs for Jet Blue, commended the Reno-area residents for their support of Jet Blue's flights to New York and the excitement about adding the Reno-Long Beach connection.
"I've got to tell you, this has been a dream of mine personally and I know it's been a dream of many crew members in Jet Blue to fly Reno-Long Beach, so I am honored to be here to watch this happen."
JetBlue will fly the route between Reno-Tahoe International Airport and Long Beach with a 150-seat Airbus 320.
The daily flights depart Long Beach at 12:15 p.m. and land in Reno at 1:30 p.m. with the return flight departing Reno at 2:15 p.m. and arriving in Long Beach at 3:40. | https://www.sierrasun.com/news/business/reno-airport-officials-celebrate-inaugural-long-beach-flight-connection-2/ | 2018-10-15T17:26:55 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

CSS Debugging and Optimization: Minification with CSSO
The following introduction to CSS minification.
Installing CSSO
Once you’ve set up Node.js and npm, you can install CSSO. In the command line, type:
npm install -g csso
The
-g flag installs CSSO globally so that we can use it from the command line. npm will print a message to your terminal window when installation is complete.
Now we’re ready to minify our CSS.
Minification with CSSO
To minify CSS files, run the
csso command, passing the name of a file as an argument:
csso style.css
This will perform basic compression. CSSO strips unneeded whitespace, removes superfluous semicolons, and deletes comments from your CSS input file.
Once complete, CSSO will print the optimized CSS to standard output, meaning the current terminal or command prompt window. In most cases, however, we’ll want to save that output to a file. To do that, pass a second argument to
csso—the name of the minified file. For example, if we wanted to save the minified version of
style.css as
style.min.css, we’d use the following:
csso style.css style.min.css
By default, CSSO will rearrange parts of your CSS. It will, for example, merge declaration blocks with duplicated selectors and remove some overridden properties. Consider the following CSS:
body { margin: 20px 30px; padding: 100px; margin-left: 0px; } h1 { font: 200 36px / 1.5 sans-serif; } h1 { color: #ff6600; }
In this snippet,
margin-left overrides the earlier
margin declaration. We’ve also repeated
h1 as a selector for consecutive declaration blocks. After optimization and minification, we end up with this:
body{padding:100px;margin:20px 30px 20px 0}h1{font:200 36px/1.5 ➥ sans-serif;color:#f60}
CSSO removed extraneous spaces, line breaks, and semicolons, and shortened
#ff6600 to
#f60. CSSO also merged the
margin and
margin-left properties into one declaration (
margin: 20px 30px 20px 0) and combined our separate
h1 selector blocks into one.
If you’re skeptical of how CSSO will rewrite your CSS, you can disable its restructuring features. Just use the
--restructure-off or
-off flags. For example, running
csso style.css style.min.css -off gives us the following:
body{margin:20px 30px;padding:100px;margin-left:0}h1{font:200 36px/ ➥1.5 sans-serif}h1{color:#f60}
Now our CSS is minified, but not optimized. Disabling restructuring will keep your CSS files from being as small as they could be. Avoid disabling restructuring unless you encounter a problem.
Preprocessors and post-processors (such as Sass, Less and PostCSS) offer minification as part of their toolset. However, using CSSO can shave additional bytes from your file sizes.

Marketing With QR Codes: Pre and Post Scan Marketing
Smartphones have exceeded 50% market penetration since the beginning of 2013. As smartphone adoption rates increase so will the literacy involved in using associated technologies. There hasn’t been a better time to include QR codes into your marketing mix. But it’s not enough to have a great mobile marketing platform to generate and manage your QR codes, you also need a great marketing strategy, specifically, one that keeps in mind the mobile nature of QR codes.
There are three important things to keep in mind when developing a marketing strategy that includes QR codes. First thing to keep in mind is the ‘pre-scan’ (basically, the things that lead to a scan). This can consist of, among other things, ad placement and presentation. The second thing to keep in mind is the ‘post-scan’; once a person scans the barcode, will it lead to conversion? The final thing to keep in mind is success attribution. You must set up the campaign in such a way that you can run an analysis on your campaign to see which advertising mediums and presentations were most successful. Let’s go into more detail on each of these aspects.
Pre Scan QR Marketing
Our platform can generate an unlimited amount of QR codes for you, but it is up to you to use common sense in their placement. One thing you most likely do not want to do is place a QR code online, any QR code placed online can just as easily be clicked (assuming the QR codes response is to direct to a landing page). There is also no reason to place a QR code in places like the subway where there is no reception and the lighting is bad. You might also want to try and avoid placing the QR codes in places where the scanner is moving relative to the target; this excludes ads on taxis as well as highway billboard ads. It’s also important to keep in mind the texture of the surface the QR shows up on. Curves, folds or creases can distort the QR code; this excludes the use on flags, banners and t-shirts. There is also research indicating that most scans are done at home or in a retail environment. This might be indicative of a reluctance to use a camera or scanner in certain environments. The research must be taken with a grain of salt, however, since it may be the case that most scans happened in those environments since those environments are where barcodes are most likely to appear. Still, it’s important to survey your audience and see what environment they would be comfortable scanning in (you can easily create and distribute mobile surveys on our platform).
While ad placement is important to consider, it’s worth nothing if the ad itself isn’t designed to drive the scanning action. The most important way to encourage someone to scan is to provide them with a reason to do so. It is not enough to simply imply a reason scanning the barcode would be worthwhile. A marketer must spell it out to the consumer with a clear, concise, and compelling call to action. The CTA must be one of the most prominent parts of the ad, if not the most prominent. It is also important to have a large QR code. Large QR codes (not too large though) are not just easier to scan, but are in their own right an eye-catching CTA that says “Scan me”. You might also want to add a set of instructions on how to scan the code, for the many recent smartphone adopters.
Post Scan QR Marketing
Now that you’ve gone through all the trouble of getting people to scan your QR code you want to retain as many of them as you can. There is no surer way of losing a mobile prospect than sending them to a desktop landing page. You can easily build a versatile mobile landing page with our mobile page builder. With our platform, each landing page you create is automatically assigned a QR code image which you can easily save and distribute to the ad creators. Once a customer arrives at a mobile optimized landing page, navigation, aesthetics and retention are increased dramatically over a desktop page.
On the landing page you can put many things that increase the relevancy of the landing page and ad. You can add a map that lists nearby locations to give the customers a sense of relevancy and immediacy. Offers can be placed is Passbook pass format directly on the landing page along with an opt in for future offers. Engaging images and videos can also be placed on the page to complete the customer experience. Mobile landing pages can be every bit as versatile as their desktop counterparts.
On the mobile landing pages, as on the QR code advertisements, the call to action is important. Whatever action you want the person to perform must be clearly stated on the buttons used to prompt the action. Aside from having a compelling reason to click, it’s also important to draw attention to the button or opt-in form by giving it bold and contrasting colors. Our mobile landing page builder was built with this in mind and there are many options available to draw the prospect’s attention.
QR Code Marketing Data Analysis and Attribution
Using QR codes, it’s easy to track what succeeds and what doesn’t. Since customers don’t have to type in a URL to reach the landing page and since customers don’t see the actual URL you have the freedom to use unsightly and complicated URLs in your ads. Previously URLs in offline marketing collateral had to be simple so that customers could type them into a browser. This limited the ability to include parameters in the URL that would otherwise have helped track the source of the landing page visit or conversion. But now, extremely long URLs can contain multiple parameters and then be shortened into a TinyURL which can then be encoded into a QR code. Now you can track the success of various offline advertising incarnations with analytics tools that read and generate the various URL parameters. This can help in tracking which advertising mediums and collateral design have the biggest return on investment.
In addition to tracking the advertising medium and variation that lead to a scan or conversion, you can also collect very detailed location data about the landing page visitors. If the customer’s settings allow it, the landing page can collect the visitor’s exact location at the time of scan using the phone’s GPS. Location data can then be correlated with other data such as conversion data and time data as well as data about which advertisement the customers was exposed to. Analyzing all these data points it should be easy to find out who is converting and under which circumstances.
All marketers should be aware of the power and precision that QR codes bring to the table. But while QR codes do have a lot of potential, proper execution is key. If you want to integrate QR codes into your offline marketing initiatives, be sure the integration is more than just pasting a QR code on all ads. | https://www.skycore.com/blog/marketing-with-qr-codes-pre-and-post-scan-marketing/ | 2018-10-15T17:02:57 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Chelsea make contact with West Ham to sign Andy Carroll
By Kaveh Solhekol
Last Updated: 16/01/18 12:36pm deal for Carroll, but Spanish club Sevilla are growing increasingly confident of signing the Belgian.
Chelsea are coming to life towards the end of the transfer window, with the club understood to have made known their interest in signing Alexis Sanchez out from under the noses of Manchester United and Manchester City.
They also want Carroll as another option to Alvaro Morata, with Batshuayi having struggled to establish himself in Antonio Conte's plans after signing from Marseille in 2016.
Conte was previously interested in Fernando Llorente before he joined Tottenham last summer, and Carroll is of a similar profile to the veteran Spaniard.
Carroll - an England international - cost West Ham £15m in 2013 deal from Liverpool, having initially joined on loan, and he has scored 25 Premier League goals in 86 appearances despite a number of injury problems.
He began his career at Newcastle before moving to Liverpool in a then club-record £35m deal in 2011.

‘Batman Forever’ Honest Trailer: The Worst Movie You’ve Seen 30 Times
Posted on Wednesday, November 15th, 2017 by Ethan Anderton
Justice League hits theaters this coming weekend, bringing us Ben Affleck‘s take on Batman again as he rounds up the DC Comics superhero team on the big screen for the first time ever. But it was a long road to get here with a couple sizeable speed bumps courtesy of director Joel Schumacher.
After Batman Returns got a little too dark, gothic and kinky for parents taking their kids to see the new Batman movie, Warner Bros. dulled things down by shifting into a more ludicrous gear with Batman Forever. Watch as Honest Trailers takes on the beginning of the end of the 1990s era of Batman, including Bat nipples and a perpetually open-mouthed Val Kilmer.

There is a parallel between the decline in license plate design as discussed in this article by William Morgan on Slate, and presentation slide design. Digital printing technology allows the addition of (background) graphics and unlimited use of colour. The result is a license plate that is unreadable and an ugly blob of graphical clutter on your car.

The trial was carried out with the support of the Ministry of Transport and Ayalon Highway as part of a smart transportation national plan
Foresight Autonomous Holdings has completed a controlled trial of its Eye-Net accident prevention solution.
Eye-Net is a V2X (vehicle to everything) cellular-based accident prevention solution designed to provide pre-collision alerts in real time to pedestrians and vehicles by using smartphones and relying on existing cellular networks.
The test was carried out in collaboration with the Israeli city of Ashdod and NoTraffic at a central intersection in the city. It was also supported traffic management system based on a network of sensors deployed at the intersection. Supervision was provided by BWR (Blue and White Robotics) as part of the Ashdod Smart Mobility Living Lab project. system.
According to NoTraffic, its system, which was installed at the intersection, identified the non-connected driver or pedestrian using a smart sensor, and transmitted the information to the driver.
“This collaboration enabled us to test our ability to integrate with smart infrastructure in order to reduce the number of accidents in an urban environment,” said Haim Siboni, CEO of Foresight.
“Integration with the NoTraffic system enabled Foresight to examine a variety of realistic scenarios, all of which presented impressive results. We intend to continue the development process in order to achieve extensive exposure for our company’s unique, life-saving technology.”
In all scenarios, Foresight claims it met all the pre-defined objectives and indicators for the real-time use of the Eye-Net system in a manner that enabled all road users to brake safely and on time.
During the trial, the information was streamed in real time to the control centre on-site and displayed the location and time of occurrence of the simulated collisions on a map, as well as the classification of the road users involved.
“The trial was first of its kind and demonstrated how ‘smart’ communication between vehicles, pedestrians and traffic lights can identify and alert all road users of an upcoming collision,” added Dr Smadar Itzkovich, head of industry development division Ashdod municipality and Ashdod Smart Mobility Living Lab.
“The trial results proved that the number of accidents can be significantly reduced. This is another step for the Ashdod Smart Mobility Living Lab in promoting smart transportation at the national and international levels.”

Congratulations Gina Hiscock from Poole.
Congratulations to Gina from Poole who only had 4 hours of driving lessons with driving instructor in Poole Lynn Russell.
Lynn said ” Gina’s original driving instructor was taken poorly and was unable to continue to teach her to drive, so I helped out to continue her driving lessons and pleased to say a huge congratulations to her. Gina passed her driving test on Monday 18th January 2016 with only 5 minor driving faults. This was a fantastic result especially as she took her driving test in a car which she wasn’t familiar with. You’re a real star Gina! :-D”
All the team at Smart Drive UK Driving School in Poole send best wishes to you and glad you were able to pass your test even with the added pressure of driving an unfamiliar car.

Bubble rapt
Klaus Berg, 39, of Kiel in Germany, is dressed in a red shirt decorated with the Turkish flag, over which he wears matching red and silver braces. He is nervous; it's the excitement. This is only the second Eurovision song contest he has attended (his first was last year in Riga), even though he has been following it for 30 years.
As he sits in one of the front rows, which are reserved for fans (presumably because they provide enough excitement for television), a voice comes over the sound system to warm up the crowd of 7100. "Laaadiiiies and Gentlemeeenn. This is the Eurovision Song Contest, 2004, Iiiiistaaaanbuuuul!"
Berg goes mad. He is not so much a fan of Germany's entrant each year, he explains, but the contest itself. "I really do take it quite seriously," he says.
It does not bother him, however, that many people all over the world see it as the cheesiest annual event on television (screened in Australia on SBS). The contest is famous for its kitsch pop, with appalling music and even worse lyrics. For Berg, Eurovision is a 52-weeks-of-the-year event, fraught with anticipation as each country holds national selections to decide who will represent it in May. This final is the night when the rest of Europe joins him in his Eurovision bubble.
Inside this bubble, everyone takes Eurovision seriously. And between 400 and 600 million people watch it on television, according to the organiser, the European Broadcasting Union, the union of national broadcasters which otherwise negotiates rights for major sports events and operates television and radio networks. People also come from all across Europe - from Albania to Ireland, from Sweden to Cyprus - to see the event live.
Those who attended this year paid 175,000,000 Turkish liras (about $170) for the best seats at the final, although many paid 332,500,000 liras for a pass to the final, semi-final and a dress rehearsal of each. For the first time, there was a Eurovision semi-final this year, held last Wednesday, from which half the countries qualified (the others did so because they scored well last year or, in the case of France, Germany, Spain and Britain, simply because they're the biggest countries in the contest).
Even the most cold-hearted person would find it difficult not to be submerged in the bubble which enveloped a little bit of Istanbul on Saturday night. Those in the crowd who may have felt a little self-conscious simply downed an Efes beer (the biggest brand of beer in Turkey), grabbed their country's flag and joined in the loud chants.
It's like a football match after all, where fans cheer their countries in a stadium. Much of the crowd are drunk, too, if not on beer then perhaps on a strange form of adrenaline. Most of those here are in their 30s, or older, rather than the teenagers you might expect at pop concerts. They chant, whistle and cheer boisterously. The crowd warm up with Mexican waves and competitive chants, preparing for the 10pm start - timed late so that it can start in Western Europe at 9pm and in Britain at 8pm.
Some followers of Eurovision believe it has seen better days. Most famously, Abba won the contest in 1974, and Celine Dion took up residency in Switzerland so that she could represent that country in the "prestigious" contest (as her website puts it) in 1988. She won. But very few of the acts have gone on to truly international careers. More typically they're like Australia's Gina G, who sang Ooh Aah, Just a Little Bit, for Britain in 1996, fading into obscurity after one hit.
Istanbul is excited to be hosting the Eurovision contest for the first time. Flags line the streets and hang from apartment windows. But speak to the people on the streets and they're not all so enraptured. A tour guide in Istanbul explains that the contest was perhaps a big event for Turkish people 10 years ago but has lost popularity here. It's popular again this year, she adds, but only because it's here in Istanbul.
The contest, says Peter Fenner, a British fan, has seen better days and is now simply but joyously - and he says this tongue in cheek - just about "failed divas". It now attracts a large gay following, he adds: "It's like a gay world cup. Who else would sit here and watch this load of rubbish?"
Well, Slovenia for one. Slovenian television host Ales Matko says it is one of the highest rating television shows in his country each year, with one in four Slovenians tuning in. It also rates extremely well in countries such as Sweden, Norway and Cyprus.
Despite the early enthusiasm and the huge cheers for last year's winner, Sertab Erener, who sings the winning 2003 song Every Way That I Can, the crowd takes a while to warm up. Spain, Austria, Norway and France are average - even in kitsch entertainment terms. It is not until Serbia and Montenegro sing Oh My Fawn, a folksy performance featuring violin, mandolin and percussionists, that the cheers become louder. Even Eurovision fans have standards.
"I'm late, I'm late, I'm loosing [sic] my weight," Bosnia and Herzegovina's Deen (that's the name of the act) sings. "Life is a book and you gotta read it/Life is a story and you gotta tell it/Life is a song and you gotta sing it," is Macedonia's effort.
Ah yes, the audience seems to think, but why not just enjoy it and clap in time? Or laugh. If you're not laughing with them, then at them.
Greece's Shake it is an early crowd favourite but easily eclipsed by Turkey's rock band Athena.
The final performer is Sweden's Lena Philipsson, who Fenner describes as the ultimate falling diva. She always proves popular. But once the performances are over - and the voting begins - the Eurovision bubble deflates at the stadium.
The voting procedure is a television moment, when viewers sit through a long process as each participating country announces its votes, which are registered by viewers by telephone. Each country gives a scale of points to their favourite performers, with the top country earning 12 points. The catch is that you can't vote for yourself.
It is Ukraine's Ruslana, who bears a resemblance to Xena, Warrior Princess, and her "Wild Dancers", who win this year's contest with 280 points, beating Serbia and Montenegro's 263 points. It takes 10 minutes for her to re-enter the stage to pick up her prize and by this time the crowd is diminishing rapidly. She sings her song again. A great moment on television perhaps but the show may as well be over in Istanbul.
The contest began in 1956 "in an effort to foster Europe unity after World War II" the organisers say.
For many of those who still live in its bubble, it retains that significance. Ruslana keeps the idealism strong. A journalist asks what is the first thing she will do when she returns to the Ukraine. "I will get down on my knees and take a piece of Ukranian homeland and kiss it." The journalists cheer.
After the concert, Berg boasts that his five favourite countries earned the most points. So is he off to the Ukraine next year? "I don't think so. Europe is quite expensive and I want to have a revival of my Eurovision parties at home". Perhaps it's better that way. This is a television event after all.

There’s an art to the selfie: the angle, the filter, and of course the location. But if the Russian government has anything to do with it, you soon won’t be able to spot extreme locations like train tracks and rooftops in Russian selfies. Russia Beyond the Headlines reports that the government has a new initiative to teach people how to take selfies more safely.
It’s a move prompted by a rash of injuries and deaths sustained by unlucky (and adventurous) Russian self-portrait takers, writes RBTH. Weapons, animals, train cars, automobiles, and even live wires are to blame for selfie disasters, which have reportedly caused over 100 injuries and at least ten deaths in 2015 alone.
RBTH writes that a new brochure being disseminated by Russia’s Interior Ministry is warning people not to risk their health for a memorable picture — and urging them to remember that likes or comments should never trump human life. The brochure features stick figures falling down stairs, being attacked by animals, and getting shocked, shot and hit by oncoming trains.
While you ponder the potential hazards of your next selfie, consider this: the words “selfie safety” mean something completely different in another European country. The UK’s National Fork Truck Safety Conference is currently running a contest to see who can take the best selfie — of a safety feature — while operating a forklift.
