Publishers also told us that marketing speak such as “pitch” and “press release” were among their turn-offs, along with overly inflated adjectives such as “life-changing” and “stunning.” Rather than using these vague terms to try to sell your content, shift to being specific and detailed about what your content is and ... |
7. No phone calls, please. |
One of the chief complaints we heard from writers was in regard to phone calls. When we asked publishers how they preferred to be contacted, email came in first place with 81 percent, followed by social media with 9 pcernt, and phone calls and contact forms with 5 percent each. |
With journalists already receiving such an incredible volume of email, how can you make your pitch rise above the rest? |
● 85 percent of writers decide to open an email based on the subject line. Keep yours brief (6 to 10 words) and specific. |
● 88 percent of writers prefer shorter pitches of 200 words or less. Say your piece succinctly, then ask if the writer is interested in receiving additional assets. |
8. Right time, right place. |
Writers are a crowd of early risers when it comes to email. More than two-thirds of our survey participants reported preferring to receive pitches in the morning. If the a.m. isn’t your best writing time, don’t fret – you can use a scheduling tool like Boomerang or Streak to plan your communications ahead of time. |
On the other hand, you’ll want to avoid pitching around long weekends and holidays, or while they’re on vacation or at a conference. Emails sent during those times are likely to get lost in inboxes, and will be more difficult to garner attraction once the writer is back in the office. |

Holiday shopping didn't wait until Black Friday in Kent. The crowd on hand for the Brunch Bunch gathering on Thanksgiving morning was in a buying mood, too. |
But these shoppers weren't bargain hunters. They were bidding on a variety of items being auctioned off at the annual "fun-raiser," a Kent holiday tradition for more than 40 years, with all proceeds aiding several local charities. |
Auctioneer Mike Tontimonia, with assistance from guest auctioneers Rob Senderoff and Herb Page, encouraged spirited bidding among those who filled the Kent American Legion hall throughout Thursday morning. Also joining in the fun were members of the Kent State University Golden Flashes, who joined basketball coach Send... |
Basketball player Brian Frank brought the bidding to $800 for a chair signed by the team, while Senderoff brought in bids of $550 from a pair of fans who will share a day with the team when it plays Cleveland State and Youngstown State. Another fan bid $1,000 to be an honorary coach at a KSU home game. |
Page, the KSU golf coach, auctioned off a putter signed by KSU alumnus Ben Curtis, a British Open winner, opening bids for the collector's item at $500. It went for $800 to an Internet bidder -- a first in the 44-year history of the Brunch Bunch gatherings. |
Page, who was a member of Kent State's 1972 championship football team, also auctioned off a 40-year-old football signed by Coach Don James and the team members who played in the Tangerine Bowl. It went for $800, with a 1972 Kent State tshirt included as a bonus item. Page himself paid $1,000 for a 2012 KSU football au... |
In addition to the sports-related items, a variety of holiday-themed gift baskets drew strong bids as did a variety of dinner packages. A ride for two on the Goodyear blimp went for $1,000. An original "Crankshaft" comic strip signed by artist Tom Batiuk drew a $250 bid. A CD signed by Glen Campbell, who performed rece... |
The auction lasted more than three hours, and many stayed throughout the bidding, enjoying coffee and doughnuts as they bid on items and watched others bid. |
Tontimonia drew a laugh at one point, when it appeared that a bit of clarification was needed during the bidding. "You were waving at somebody?" he told one bidder, "Well, enjoy your basket." |
Azure Blob Storage is a great and cheap place to upload a lot of files. |
One of the websites I am currently work on, stores all the PDFs that users can download, in an Azure Blob Storage container. |
We needed to pull down a large amount of those PDFs to confirm the content in them. |
LocalTargetDirectory with where you want to download the files to. |
StorageAccountName with the name of the Azure Storage Account Name. |

That would seem to be the bare minimum for due diligence in an officer of the court. |
Not all plaintiffs attorneys are scrupulous, however. Sad, but true. |
Some plaintiffs attorneys have been known to file frivolous suits demanding huge reparations in the hope of securing an out-of-court settlement from a defendant unwilling to waste a lot of time and money going to trial. The payoff is far less substantial, but it’s easy money. |
If such attorneys have been duped by their clients, that’s one thing. If, however, they know their clients’ claims are bogus, then they’re complicit in the scam. They and their clients both are attempting to perpetrate a fraud on the defendant and the court, and both should be held to account and suffer appropriate con... |
Into which category attorney Kurt Arnold of Arnold & Itkin and his client, Jake Kemp, may fall is yet to be determined, but the defendant targeted by them is crying foul and fighting back. |
A year ago last August, Arnold filed suit in Jefferson County District Court on behalf of Kemp, who claims that he was injured on the job while working for LaBelleCo Fab, a Beaumont-based provider of pipe and structural steel fabrication. He and his client are seeking $1 million in damages. |
Kemp claims he was severely injured when he was electrocuted by a tool he was using and thrown against other equipment. |
Whoever’s lying should get zapped with court charges, legal fees and sanctions. |

Being a model for half of my life, I’ve often thought about the concept of beauty. I make my living off the idea that a person can be beautiful, so what does it mean to be a beautiful person? |
What does beauty contribute to the world and what beauty can we find within the world? While I’m still learning all of the complexities of the concept, I recently learned that beauty can hold tremendous power in inspiring kindness. |
I watched a video by philosopher Jason Silva, called The Big Picture, in which he says that empathy rarely extends beyond our line of sight. So a person who lives their entire life in their hometown, will have empathy to others within their town limits, but not beyond. The further a person travels, the more they discov... |
If everyone could take a step back — see the beautiful things in this world as their own beauty, the people in this world as their neighbors, and the Earth as their communal home — maybe we would have a world without discrimination or violence. Maybe we would have a world where we all worked together to embrace diversi... |

When Celine and I did this shoot together, I realized that she and I have this in common. I have lived in 7 different cities, and because of my career, have spent much of my life traveling. We talked about our experiences of seeing beauty from a global perspective; how we became a part of every place we’ve been and eve... |
With this perspective in mind, Celine set out to find a way to inspire kindness by introducing people to the idea and power of the Overview Effect. She started printing images from NASA telescopes on silk scarves to inspire people to set aside their differences and feel more in touch with the planet as a whole. All of ... |
Celine’s mission reminded me to consider a global perspective. Expand your community, consider other perspectives and see the beauty in all of it. Slow down, look at the big picture. Sounds pretty beautiful to me. |

A few weeks ago, I was in Texas on business. My first stop was Austin and my second stop was Cleburne, just west of Dallas-Ft. Worth. As to be expected, I took the opportunity to sample the local BBQ. |
In Austin, I asked for good Que close to my hotel since it was a long day of traveling. It was recommended by my customer to visit Vic's BBQ about a mile from my hotel. |
Vic's is a little joint nestled in a small strip mall next to a convenience store. A bit run down looking, but aren't those the best spots? Upon walking in, you are directed to the counter situated right next to the menu. |
After scanning the menu and the meat, I settled on the Three Meat combo with two sides. |
Since I was in Texas, I had to try the hot links and brisket, and I chose some pork spare ribs for my third meat. Unfortunately, beef rib night is on Thursday. My sides were jalapeno pintos and cole slaw. The whole platter was served with the two customary slices of squishy white bread. |
How was everything. Well, lets start with the good. The brisket and rib meat was cooked to a perfect tenderness. The hot link had a nice snappy skin and the cole slaw was fresh and not limp. The beans were tender as well and the bread was fresh not stale. Unfortunately, this plate was devoid of flavor. Where were the j... |
Bottom line, Vic's BBQ gets a C. It may have been a bad day for the spice and the perfectly tender meats saved this visit. |
The next day as I was driving though Cleburne, I found this little joint, Buffalo Creek BBQ. |
After the experience at Vic's the day before, I was not planning on BBQ. I was going to go Mexican. But, I was hungry, I couldn't find Mexican, and this place just appeared out of no where. So, I parked and in I went. |
The place is run by 5 little old ladies with an average age of around 65. I was a bit hesitant, but I was already there and the gentleman in front of me had just picked up a pound of BBQ Bologna. The place couldn't be all that bad. Right? So, I scanned the meats and made my choices. |
I went again with the Three Meat combo with two sides. |
I had the hot links, brisket, and smoked turkey with the spicy sauce and for sides I had the pintos and cornbread salad. How was it? Pure heaven. |
Again, the meat was cooked to the perfect tenderness. But, this stuff had flavor. The hot links were bursting with garlic and spice. The brisket was fork tender and seasoned to perfection with just the right amount of heat. The turkey was the biggest surprise. It was brined perfectly with a slightly sweet and spicy rub... |
Overall, A+! The best BBQ I have ever had that was not from a competition. I wish they were within driving distance. If you are ever in Cleburne, Buffalo Creek BBQ is a must add to your bucket list. |
I know you are probably a tough critic. What type of sauces did they serve? The cornbread salad sounds great and am looking forward to your recipe. |
H4® Braces utilizes self-ligating brackets have provide many advantages over traditional metal brackets. |
The primary difference between H4® Braces and traditional braces is that they do not use elastics or metal ties to connect the arch wire to the brackets. |
H4® braces provide your orthodontist with alternate options to move your child’s teeth, including fewer extractions. |
H4® Braces may appear smaller than traditional brackets. |
The absence of elastics and ties can make oral hygiene during orthodontic treatment easier and more effective, although special care and attention to daily cleaning is important with any type of orthodontic treatment. |
Adjustment appointments are often shorter with H4® Braces because of the specialized brackets that hold the arch wire within the bracket. |
Overall treatment time with H4® orthodontic brackets is often shorter than that of traditional metal braces. |
