Section 4 volleyball: Horseheads, Owego, Windsor, Candor capture titles
stargazette.com
One of the more impressive streaks in Section 4 continued Saturday while another one came to an end during four Section 4 volleyball championship matches at Corning-Painted Post High School.
Owego's 3-0 win over Maine-Endwell gave the Indians nine consecutive sectional championships in Class B.
In the final match of the day, Bainbridge-Guilford's bid for a third straight state title was ended by Candor, 3-2, in the Class D final.
In the other two matches, Horseheads was a 3-0 winner over Corning in Class AA, and Windsor won by the same score against Waverly in Class C. Earlier in the week, Union-Endicott rallied for a 3-2 win over Vestal to earn the Class A crown.
Class AA: Horseheads champs again
Closing time had multiple meanings Saturday morning for the Horseheads volleyball team.
The Blue Raiders closed out the Section 4 portion of their schedule with a 3-0 sweep of Corning in the Class AA championship match. Horseheads was particularly adept at closing sets in the 25-18, 25-22, 25-21 victory.
"If you could see once we get on a run, the energy level," Horseheads coach Tim Crout said. "When we play with energy we're top, we're one of the best. The energy level that we played with today for the most part was outstanding, especially when we came back from some of those deficits. Momentum in volleyball is huge."
Crout is in his first season as varsity coach after taking over for Patti Perone, who coached the Blue Raiders to 24 sectional championships during her 31 seasons before retiring. Crout was previously the Blue Raiders' junior varsity coach.
"I'm so thrilled," Crout said. "For me to be the first-year coach after taking over for a legend in Patti Perone and winning not only STAC West but then the Section 4 Class AA championship, I couldn't be more happy and excited, not only for the girls and myself but also for the school."
Perone, who is still the Section 4 coordinator, was also on hand Saturday.
"Crout's always been our coach since JV, so having him as our coach wasn't that big of a difference," Horseheads senior libero Avery Snyder said. "He's always supported us and having him with us was a great change. Having Perone with us tonight, that was awesome having her here. We wanted to win for her as well."
The sectional championship was the first for Horseheads since 2015. Although the Blue Raiders earned the top seed for sectionals, they ended up playing at second-seeded Corning's home gym because it was the pre-designated site for four of the five sectional finals. Both schools had boisterous student sections in attendance.
"That's all we've ever wanted from the start of the season," Snyder said of the title. "Our goal was to win sectionals, especially against Corning. Having our student section here winning with us was the best feeling ever."
Horseheads got off to a slow start despite what Crout called a "phenomenal" week of practice and a bus ride from Horseheads that had everyone pumped up.
"I think we had our ups and downs," Snyder said. "We had nerves at the beginning that we had to get out, but after that once we got a good hit our energy was on our side of the court. We just kept pushing for that."
Corning led 12-9 at one point in set one before Snyder went to the service line and turned the match around. By the time she was done, Horseheads had an 18-13 advantage.
"The first game we missed four of the first five serves," Crout said. "We were down pretty good and the girls fought and fought and fought. Avery Snyder led us on a big run. She had nine service points in a row. That was the turning point of the match, of that particular set."
Corning led by scores of 6-2, 13-7 and 15-12 in the second set before the Raiders again took over.
In the third set, the Hawks' biggest advantage was 12-9. Horseheads raised its level of play once again to close out the title.
"Sometimes we just have to take a timeout and just get our deep breaths," Snyder said. "Calm and collective, whether we're winning or whether we're losing. We're really good at keeping our heads in the game, whether we're down or whether we're up."
Horseheads received a big boost from senior Eva Kurzik, who saw her first extensive varsity action at setter. She finished with 30 assists.
"There's some things I saw over the last two weeks we've been off," Crout said. "I said, 'You know what, I'm going to give this young girl a shot.' I needed her in the front row for her blocking and honestly she did an amazing job."
Taylor Malone had 13 kills to pace Horseheads. Cammie Knapp contributed six kills, while Carolyn Bovaird and Madison Hampton had five each. Snyder had 14 digs, Bovaird 10 and Malone seven. Snyder also had two aces.
Corning finished with a 9-6 record in dual matches, including three losses to Horseheads.
Up next: Horseheads (14-2) will return to Corning-Painted Post High at 10 a.m. Nov. 16 for a regional final against Section 1's Ossining or the Section 9 champion.
Class B: Owego rolls on
Top-seeded Owego Free Academy wasn't at its best but still had plenty of wiggle room in each set of a 25-16, 25-14, 25-18 victory over second-seeded Maine-Endwell.
"I thought we struggled today," Owego coach Brittney Race said. "A win's a win and I'm proud of them for battling through and being able to do that, but this was definitely not the best that this team has shown, that's for sure.
"I give it Maine-Endwell too. I thought they played us tough. They definitely played us tougher than they've played us all season long. I think the combination of that and us being flat, it made for kind of a flat game."
Mackenzie Struble paced Owego (15-1) with 13 kills and five aces. Camryn Kopalek added 10 kills, Emma Howe had seven and Sara Zepkowski notched five kills to go with four blocks. Annika Kinney led the team with 12 digs.
"We'll take it," Zepkowski said of the win. "We didn't have a ton of energy overall and our passing struggled and our offense struggled, but it's a win. We'll take it."
And the Indians will gladly take another sectional championship plaque for the school's trophy case. Even with Owego having won three state titles since 2013, and having finished second in New York last season in Class B, it's always a big deal to be the best in your section.
"Every year it's different. It's a different feeling, a different atmosphere," Race said. "It's cool. It means No. 9. It's pretty cool for us."
Said Zepkowski: "It's just great to be part of a legacy like Owego volleyball. Owego volleyball is like no other team I've ever been a part of. It's just family almost. Just the sense of bond and togetherness we have is why we're able to go to all these sectional and regional and state tournaments."
Up next: Owego will play either Section 1 champion Ardsley or Section 9 champion Red Hook in a regional final/state quarterfinal at 2 p.m. Nov. 16 at Corning-Painted Post High.
Race said her team will be drilling a lot on defense heading into that match after coming up short in that area Saturday.
"I think for these guys, they're going to turn it on, I'm not worried about that," she said. "But we definitely need to fine tune some defensive things, connect a little better offensively and we'll be good, we'll be ready."
Class C: Windsor sharp in sweep
Windsor came out swinging, serving and blocking on its way to a 25-13, 25-10, 25-16 victory over Waverly.
"I thought we started strong and we finished strong," Windsor coach Scott Symons said. "I was really happy with what the kids did. I thought we passed really well. I thought (libero) Morgan Bryant was passing just nails for us. Really happy for her."
Mackenzie Williams and Nicole Rose led the Black Knights with eight kills each. Rose also had seven aces. Karissa Decosse and Sofia Peret contributed 15 assists apiece.
Windsor was at its best in the second set, bolting to an 18-2 advantage.
"Everyone contributed, everyone got in the game," Rose said. "We had so much energy and we just played together as a team. ... We're just so close that we know where everyone is on the court and we just play all together."
Windsor won its first sectional championship since taking Class C in 2015. The last three years the Black Knights fell to Owego in Class B finals.
"I've been losing (in sectional finals) since I was a freshman, so this is just crazy for us to come together as a team and win finally," Rose said. "Since the beginning of the year we knew we weren't going to have to play Owego. I think that just made us so much stronger, that we knew that we had it this year."
Symons said a weightlifting program put in a couple years ago has helped make the players stronger. Senior leadership gives Windsor a different kind of strength.
"Any time you get to keep playing late in November, it's an awesome feeling," Symons said. "It means the hard work the kids put in paid off for them."
Up next: Windsor (14-1) will face either Section 1 champion Valhalla or the Section 9 champion in the regional final at 4 p.m. Nov. 16 at Corning's gym. A win would send the Knights to the final four in Glens Falls the following weekend.
"That would be a dream come true, but we've got to win next Saturday. That's what we're focused on," Symons said.
Said Rose: We're playing really good, so I'm very excited for regional play on Saturday."
Class D: Candor shines in final set
Candor was two points away from closing out the win in the fourth set, with the teams tied 23-23. But Bainbridge-Guilford came up with the final two points to force a deciding set.
Candor (20-0) was at its best with the season on the line, building a 12-3 lead on its way to a 25-20 win. B-G scored four straight points after trailing 24-16.
Bainbridge-Guilford (15-2) won the first set, 25-20. Candor was a 25-14 winner in set two and took a third set filled with lengthy rallies and diving saves by a 28-26 count.
"It was actually really nerve-wracking," Candor's Jennah Kareem said of competing in this type of match. "I didn't think it would be. I was at home and my aunt said, 'You guys are going to go five sets.' I was like, 'No, we're going to go three.' When I got here and they took the first set, I was like, 'We have four games to play.' You've got to focus on each game at a time."
Kareem's big spikes were one of the reasons Candor prevailed. She said it came down to staying locked on during every point.
"We always tell our teammates to play one point at a time," she said. "If you play one point at a time, you're not focused on all the other points, you're just focused on that one point. We all just believed that we can win."
That mindset is emphasized by Candor coach Pam Quinlan.
"We dropped a heartbreaker decision game to Tioga last year in sectional play," Quinlan said. "I think this year some of the kids who were on that team are now another year older, more mature. I just think the team chemistry is just amazing, from starters to people who are role players. We talk about just believing you can win every point and I think that they do believe that."
Bainbridge-Guilford went down fighting in its bid to keep hopes alive for a third consecutive state title. The Bobcats not only came up with key points in the fourth set, they also battled back during the last few points even with hopes of victory extremely slim.
"They're a great team to play against," Kareem said. "I love playing against them. They're so competitive, but it felt really great to take the game from them. There's not much to say about that. They're just such a great team to play."
Candor's sectional title was its first since 2016. The Indians beat B-G twice in the pool-play semifinals Thursday, going 6-0 overall. Quinlan said the length of Saturday's final might have had an impact physically on her players.
"We haven't really had to go four or five games this season, so I think maybe they were a little tired, just their legs weren't quite where they needed to be," she said. "And I think we were still trying to play like we were fresh and I think in the fifth game we adjusted to that a little bit better. I think my setter put the sets a little bit higher to give the hitters a little bit more time and I think they adjusted their swings a little bit more for where they were in the fifth set."
Up next: Candor will play Section 3 champion Lafayette in a state quarterfinal at 7 p.m. Nov. 16 at Jamesville-DeWitt High School in the Syracuse area.

The shopping frenzy that takes place the day after Thanksgiving is a celebrated annual tradition – almost as much as turkey and pumpkin pie. This year, South Carolina lawmakers have enacted a gimmicky, two-day "sales tax holiday" to follow the real holiday, but it will only remind us of their unwillingness to let taxpayers keep more of their money year round.
During Friday and Saturday, shoppers throughout South Carolina will not be charged the state's 5 percent sales tax. Fifteen states and the District of Columbia offered similar deals this year, with most of them taking place during the "back to school" season.
Supporters of sales tax holidays claim the holidays deliver real savings to consumers and boost sales for retailers. The evidence suggests otherwise.
According to the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance, while the Empire State's first sales tax holiday increased sales during the period of the holiday, sales for the year were virtually unchanged. In other words, shoppers didn't buy more; they just shifted the timing of their purchases.
Other studies have indicated that retailers may raise their pre-tax prices during the tax holiday, leaving consumers out of the full tax savings. As it turns out, sales tax holidays are more hype than anything.
Tennessee's recent back-to-school sales tax holiday saved the average Volunteer a whole $2.51. Some holiday. Residents may be out of town, they may be working on Friday or Saturday, or they may not have enough cash on hand to splurge during those two days. Taxes should treat all customers equally at all times; not only those who can afford it, or whose schedules permit.
Not only do tax holidays fail to live up to their advertising, they generate numerous problems. For one, sales tax holidays essentially allow the government to artificially influence the timing of purchases. By doing so, the government places itself in the business of deciding economic winners and losers – a function that should always be the sole responsibility of the free market.
Sales tax holidays also give the dangerous impression that government can manipulate the prices of goods in the free market. If prices fall during a temporary suspension of sales taxes, consumers can mistakenly believe the government directly controls prices. In reality, the government can do very little to affect the price of any good or commodity.
Considering the practical and the economic problems with sales tax holidays, why are they so popular? For starters, politicians love them. Tax holidays are an easy way for our elected officials to be seen as tax cutters — even if the tax relief is paltry. Supporters of tax holidays can pose for photo-ops as "friends of the taxpayer," while pushing off the hard work of tax reform for another day.
When lawmakers have so many good tax-cutting alternatives to choose from, it is truly unfortunate that tax holidays are so popular. It's time for lawmakers to reject the gimmick of sales tax holidays and support long-lasting tax relief for all. If tax relief for consumers looks good for a few days, why not give it to them all year long? That would be something that every resident of the Palmetto State could be thankful for.

Q: angularjs with ng-grid master detail paradigm that has multi-select with modal Apologies for the confusing title.  So I have multi-select + ng-grid working here .
For anyone who isn't sure what the master/detail paradigm is.  I select a row from my grid and expose all of its properties in some fashion for a complete view of the row from my grid (master being inside the grid, details being the object properties)
I want it to do something like
But I cannot seem to figure out how to get this type of detail view to occur.  I presume I need to have some type of emit/broadcast/on type set of events.  So again the question is how do I do the master/detail view with a modal and multiple selections in angularjs + ng-grid?

A: I'm not exactly sure how you want to create the modal, but there are plenty of choices out there.  One being the angular bootstrap modal.
That aside, in terms of getting data out of ng-grid, you can use the afterSelectionChange grid option to delegate to a function that will fire after a selection has been made.
This fork of your plunker demonstrates using afterSelectionChange.
$scope.gridOptions = {
  data: 'myData',
  selectedItems: $scope.mySelections,
  multiSelect: true,
  afterSelectionChange: function() {

    $scope.details = $scope.mySelections;
  }
};

$scope.details = null;

You can then ng-repeat the results:
<button ng-click="show = !show">Show/Hide Details</button>

  You have selected:

    name: {{ detail.name }}

    age: {{ detail.age }}

I hope this helps.  Let me know if there is something I missed.
EDIT:
Ok, I integrated angular bootstrap modal into this plunker.
It might also help to look at an example of the angular bootstrap modal without ng-grid.  You can find that here in this modal plunker.

The Cake Eaters

The Cake Eaters Reviews
Joshua Land
MaryAnn Johanson
[W]hat seems at first like a lean, spare psychic space in which much is left unspoken swells to burn white-hot.
Michael Esposito
In her first feature film, Masterson creates a slice of life that is very believable (especially if you've ever seen The Jerry Springer Show), and often endearing.
I think there is a future in directing for Mary Stewart Masterson.
Bill Goodykoontz
These are people whose company you enjoy, in good times and bad. Taking place over a short period of time, it's a small slice of life, yes. But as the title implies, it's a tasty one as well.
Wade Major
As directing debuts from actors and actresses go, Masterson's falls somewhere on the upper-end of the middle, a better-than-respectable effort given the difficulty of the material and the constraints of the budget.
Eric Monder
Pleasant, low-key drama about two small-town families with secrets. Though familiar in many respects, Mary Stuart Masterson's feature directorial debut has a quiet charm.
V.A. Musetto
With so much junk cluttering movie houses, it is a shame that it took two years for this sweet, intelligent drama to get a release before heading for DVD. But such is the sad state of the movie business.
Kristen Stewart is lovely, as is Masterson's beautifully crafted first film.
Stephen Holden
Superior acting elevates a small, overcrowded ensemble piece set in rural upstate New York into something a little deeper.
Geoff Berkshire
Metromix.com
A small movie in every way, but solidly crafted and respectably acted.
Masterson, like many actors, is an assured director even in her debut; working with her brother Pete as cinematographer, she creates a spell and a tenderness and pushes exactly as far as this story should go.
The Cake Eaters is a small but rewarding slice of realism that is a nice antidote to the surfeit of slasher movies that have been polluting the ozone lately.
Hollywood & Fine
Masterson draws beautifully modulated performances from her strong ensemble cast ... It balances sweetness and sadness without ever leaning too heavily on either quality.
Prairie Miller
NewsBlaze
Disease of the week suds are subverted in Kristen Stewart's oddly empowering disability sex romp. And though Cake is half baked at times, these impulsive humans going for the metaphorical dessert in life while skipping real sustenance, has a goofy appeal.
Cole Smithey
ColeSmithey.com
An old-fashioned minor key drama, "The Cake Eaters" is the exact type of film that is the cornerstone of modern American Independent cinema.

High blood pressure could prevent dementia in the very elderly
By MiNDFOOD	| July 21, 2014
A study finds significant evidence that supports the benefit of high blood pressure late in life.
The diagnosis of high blood pressure late in life may now be considered good news for a patient, as a study has found that those with the highest blood pressure readings were least likely to be afflicted with dementia.
While a higher reading during middle age is believed to increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, the effect seems to be the opposite in later life.
The study conducted at the University of California in Irvine, explored the relationship between the risk of dementia, the age at which it was diagnosed, as well as blood pressure readings of those in the over 90s category.
Every six months, the researchers followed 625 pensioners, for up to 10 years. The average age of the participants was 93 and two thirds were women. From the outset of the study, participants did not have dementia.
The study found that patients who developed high blood pressure between the ages of 80 and 89 had a significantly lower risk of developing dementia, in comparison to those with a normal blood pressure reading. In addition, those who were found to have developed the condition in their 90s, had an even lower risk of getting the disease.
The findings were the same, regardless of whether participants were taking medications to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) or not.
Associate Professor from the department of neurology explains: "In our study, high blood pressure is not a risk factor for dementia in the oldest old, but just the opposite".
"From observing a group of very old people we now have some evidence that developing high blood pressure at a late age may be helpful in terms of maintaining intact thinking abilities".
The study was presented at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference and while authors say that there is emerging evidence that high blood pressure may protect against dementia in people aged 90 and over, they are "absolutely not recommending that high blood pressure not be treated among the elderly".

Unify Separate | Official site
We are Unify Separate [aka Us]
Unify Separate are the Scottish-Swedish duo of ex-Geneva singer Andrew Montgomery and Lowe frontman Leo Josefsson, whose dark and beautiful electronic pop is a soundtrack for your dreams.
The pair started writing together in 2015, a few months after Montgomery had relocated to Sweden.
With a unique voice that's equal parts choirboy and soul boy, Montgomery made waves in the Britpop era with Geneva, scoring four emotive Top 40 singles and two critically-feted albums ('Further' and 'Weather Underground') on Nude Records between 1996 and 2000, touring with label mates Suede along the way. In 2014, after a long silence, he released his debut solo album 'Ruled by Dreams', produced by Sean McGhee (Robyn, Alison Moyet, Imogen Heap). The album attracted rave reviews in Q (4 stars) and Uncut (7/10).
Josefsson is a luminary of the Stockholm synth scene with the bands Lowe and Statemachine, whose work has been recognised with several Scandinavian Alternative Music Awards, including Best Newcomer, Best Live Act, Best Song and Best Album. He's also a respected video director who's worked with the likes of Kent, Miriam Bryant, Tilly & Elephant, Eric Saade, The Mobile Homes and Smith & Thell, and has technical direction credits for Rihanna and Robyn. He has a growing collection of analogue synthesisers that are taking over his studio by stealth.
Unify Separate play widescreen, beautiful, electronic music that is the dystopian film soundtrack to the end of an affair or a broken dream, combining Leo's epic wall of synths with Andrew's distinctive three-octave vocals. It's proof that machines can dream, and it's all done with oceans of emotion.

There is much to admire about "Kintsugi", the new album from Sussex four-piece hAND. It is unashamedly progressive and difficult, whilst possessing subtlety and an attempt at emotional depth sometimes missing from progressive rock. And there lies my regular problem with the genre – I like my music earthy, or if it is cerebral, then at least have enough melody take take me along with it. hAND do at least try to engage your heart, but they are hindered by the vocals of Kat Ward, whose bloodless voice floats above all the musical dexterity and skill like a detached, disembodied presence. It's a shame because with a gutsier singer I would be raving about this album.
There is something to marvel at on nearly every track here; opener 'Level One' leaps out at you with fluid, techy riffs and that digital sheen and bleeping computer game synth riffs you associate with Dragonforce. There is, unsurprisingly, a concept at work here about the nature of relationships, Ward pleading "if only I could skip to the end", but I haven't yet fully grasped the whole drift of it.
Next up, 'Windlestraw' has a ferocious riff across mournful and soft vocals, which sit almost in opposition and then features a weird bass breakdown not unlike Primus shorn of the silliness. hAND utilise a very rhythmic attack with limited melodies, and at times it's much harsher than you expect from progressive rock. And forget about a chorus – hAND don't really don't do those.
There are melodies on 'Anthem (Ode to the Giddy)', which is like a suite with various movements despite being less than four minutes long. It has several strong melodies, but they are almost tossed away as if the band find them simply too easy. Restless minds are at work and play here.
That earlier harshness comes to the fore on 'Volcanic Panic', which, strangely, kicks off like Senser with jagged riff and double kick drums before settling into a soothing vocal over restless churning and the spitting guitars of Kieran Johnstone and Ward. It then goes into overdrive at the close and makes like Megadeth with its speed metal dexterity.
So 'Nebula' wrong foots you by coming in on funky, almost high life guitars and the rhythm section popping and fizzing, the keys adding a merry layer of fuzz underneath. It's odd but rather fabulous. The song then becomes downbeat and a little anguished, again leaving you disorientated.
The diversity continues as 'Amazing Burn' starts as a cool piano ballad then briefly comes on all perky with choppy Alex Lifeson guitars before returning to the solo piano. Then the keys and percussion begin to crash hard as the song becomes more agitated and moody in a way Radiohead fans will be familiar with.
I could go on about every track, apart from the slightly disappointing 'Hide You'; in fact, the eight-minute 'Through The Big Door, Up The Stairs And Out' deserves a whole review to itself, such is its ambition, but really I think you'll have got the idea by now.
This is a fabulously rich, intelligent, very heavy and brilliantly played set of songs by musicians I am in awe of, but I cannot love it when the vocalist's style short-changes the rest of the performances. You may feel differently; I know a lot of successful prog bands feature vocalists who are fairly sexless and pure sounding, but I personally find it alienating and cold. That doesn't change my opinion about the music though, which is exciting and worthy of much attention and acclaim.

Providing and assessing Competitive Intelligence.
Helping you develop and maintain your strategic plan.
We often work with Intellectual Property, markets and technology to keep your long-term profitability in mind. Our services page details several typical scenarios. If your need isn't obvious, contact us to discuss your specific situation.
WHAT CAN PEARSON STRATEGY HELP MY COMPANY ACCOMPLISH?
Maintaining your awareness of competitor activities.
Identifying disruptive technologies before your competitors implement them.
Identifying opportunities for you to license or purchase patents.
Monitoring your Intellectual Property, technology or market space and quickly bring vital information to your attention.
Accelerating your R&D projects by understanding and interpreting problems, opportunities and prior research.
Quickly, cheaply and effectively screen and prioritize innovative ideas when included in your innovation process pipeline.
Guiding strategy on future technologies, IP and/or markets.
THE U.S. PATENT AND TRADE OFFICE (USPTO) AND GOOGLE PATENTS ALLOW ME TO DO MY OWN PATENT SEARCHES FOR FREE, WHY SHOULD I USE PEARSON STRATEGY?
If cost is a concern, isn't your time better spent running your company and letting experts handle this tedious, but necessary task?
We are frequently told by clients and IP attorneys that we've discovered publications they were unable to uncover on their own. We have years of experience working with a wide range of technologies and use specialized patent research tools to conduct simultaneous research of many of the world's patenting offices. Our expertise means efficient, comprehensive searches that yield the most relevant results.
I CAN DO MY OWN TECHNOLOGY OR MARKET RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET OR THROUGH MY PROFESSIONAL SOCIETY, WHY DO I NEED PEARSON STRATEGY?
Technology research can be time consuming, frustrating and an inefficient use of resources. We have trustworthy experience and dedicated resources to provide timely, relevant information.
I STILL NEED CONVINCING, WHAT ELSE CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT PEARSON STRATEGY?
Our consultants have many years of consulting work experience and most of us have worked together for many years.
We provide comprehensive assessments in three realms: Intellectual Property, markets and technology. This ensures that your profitability is always taken into account.
We're responsive to your urgent needs, phone calls and emails.
Our reach is global and we are available when you need us.
There's no yearly retainer fee.
We're flexible because we're not restricted to using specific software, databases or consultants.
We guarantee our work. How many other consulting firms can say that?
WHICH COMPANIES ARE USING PEARSON STRATEGY AND HOW MANY CLIENTS DO YOU HAVE?
Our client numbers continue to grow but we would not be in business if we publicized their names in a competitive climate; however, see https://pearsonstrategy.com/success-stories/ for some of the great recommendations we have received from specific companies and law firms.
We have worked with clients ranging from Fortune 500 companies to small start-up ventures. Our typical clients are small to medium-sized technology companies, manufacturing businesses, energy companies, business incubators, business accelerators and law firms.
Our clients are typically located in North America or Europe.
DO YOU WORK WITH LAW FIRMS?
Intellectual property law firms and corporate attorneys rely on us to provide comprehensive reports more quickly and at lower cost than they can obtain internally.
WHAT INDUSTRIES DO YOU TYPICALLY SERVE?
WHAT CLIENTS ARE NOT A GOOD FIT FOR PEARSON STRATEGY?
Very large companies that have strategy, research and Intellectual Property groups in-house.
Large military contractors working on classified projects. Interestingly, we have successfully worked with large military contractors looking to commercialize their technology.
HOW DO YOU HANDLE CLIENT NEEDS THAT FALL OUTSIDE OF YOUR EXPERTISE?
We have a number of partners with specific training, experience or skills across a variety of industries and technologies. We occasionally get a request that we're unable to address and will either make a referral or conduct research to identify the subject matter experts in that discipline.
WHERE IN THE CORPORATE STRUCTURE ARE YOUR TYPICAL CONTACTS?
A VP of Technology, VP of R&D or an Engineering Manager.
We guard our clients' privacy just as we will guard yours. If you need a reference, a small number of companies and people allow us to share their names upon request.
Automated Alerts use computerized monitoring to identify areas you specify and alert you through email on a regular basis. A well-known example is Google's Alert service which is free but very basic.
Pearson Strategy will build alerts using focused search engines to keep you up-to-date on those subjects – and only those subjects – of specific importance to you.
For example, would you like to know when your chief competitor is granted a new patent that could affect your business plans? Or when a new technology paper is published that could significantly accelerate or alter your current R&D project?
WHAT ARE COMPETITIVE INTELLIGENCE REPORTS?
Competitive Intelligence Reports are recurring reports that can't be automated. For example, an upper level executive who doesn't have the time to review and analyze an automated alert could receive a Custom Alert summarizing and analyzing crucial information from a variety of sources.
WHY DO YOU PROVIDE ALERT DEMONSTRATIONS?
We realize that many people are not familiar with alerts. So, after seeing so many articles recently about Apple's and Google's activities and patents we thought that these alerts would allow us to demonstrate the power of our most basic service, while providing a valuable service to our community. We have also recently added 3-D printing because of the large interest people have in this technology.
HOW DO I READ MY AUTOMATED PATENT ALERT?
Refer to the Patent Alerts page.
DO YOU USE YOUR OWN SOFTWARE TO GENERATE REPORTS AND ALERTS?
No, we choose the best existing software and databases for the job. Should a better tool become available, we will switch.
Our prices vary significantly for different levels of services. We provide low prices for simple services and charge competitive rates for complex projects. We will refer you to free resources if they're available.
We are open to accommodating your billing preferences but most of our clients prefer to be invoiced for all delivered services at the end of each month. We reserve the right to request a 50% deposit before starting larger projects.
IS THE METER ALWAYS RUNNING?
We will never charge you for the time we spend exchanging emails or phone calls.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A PATENT PUBLICATION AND A PATENT FAMILY?
A patent family is a collection of related patent applications and granted patent publications (if any exist). Each publication is a single document issued by the patent authority of a particular country (in the US, this would be the USPTO). For example, if you know a granted patent exists, you would anticipate that the patent application that resulted in that granted patent would be highly related and, therefore, both the patent application and granted patent would be part of the same patent family.
HOW DO I OBTAIN THE COPYRIGHTED TECHNICAL DOCUMENTS CITED IN YOUR REPORTS OR ALERTS?
There are numerous locations to obtain copyrighted papers and many are likely to show up from an internet search of the title. Additional sources may include the technical societies you belong to or the British Library.
CAN YOU OBTAIN COPYRIGHTED DOCUMENTS FOR ME?
Yes, let us know if you need a specific paper and we'll purchase it and send it to you with your report for the cost of the paper and a reasonable handling fee (both fees will be included in your upcoming invoice).
WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD A PATENT APPLICATION OR GRANTED PATENT PDF FILE?
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office does not currently support PDF downloads but there are many places to download PDF formatted files for patent applications and granted patents including Espacenet.
Let us know your needs and we'll send you PDFs. Additionally, we'll do OCR (Object Character Recognition) on every file so that you can search for text within the file.
The acronym "RSS" stands for "Really Simple Syndication" and these are news feeds generated by many organizations, companies and governments to send out updates to those subscribed by the appropriate software program, typically called a "reader." One popular reader was Google Reader until it was phased out in July of 2013.
Idea germination involves the growth of new ideas. While many people conceive new ideas, deciding which ones to pursue can be frustrating and confusing.
We provide direction by vetting those ideas to ensure that you only act on ideas that meet your profit goals and business strategy.
Our effective idea germination considers factors such as patentability, Freedom to Operate research, the risks of emerging/ adjacent/disruptive technologies, the current state of the art and marketability.
WHAT IS STATE OF THE ART RESEARCH?
We will research the current state of advancement for your specific technology or area of interest.
A research-based understanding of today's state of the art (technology) in your field can help you decide whether or not to pursue research in a particular area.
You might find that acquiring or licensing other's technology is a smarter solution.

Římskokatolická farnost Kostelní Lhota je územním společenstvím římských katolíků v rámci kutnohorsko-poděbradského vikariátu královéhradecké diecéze.

O farnosti

Historie
V roce 1354 je v Kostelní Lhotě poprvé připomínán kostel, zasvěcený Panně Marii, a z tohoto roku je také známo jméno místního plebána - Petr. Patronátní právo ke kostelu měl rod pánů z Kunštátu, majitelů poděbradského panství. Nejstarší písemná zmínka o ustanovení duchovního správce pro ves Kostelní Lhota pochází z roku 1354, kdy pan Boček z Kunštátu dosadil ke kostelu Nanebevzetí Panny Marie, který sám dal vystavět, kněze (plebána) Petra. Od té doby v obci sídlil kněz a spravoval také okolní obce (Písková Lhota, Vrbová Lhota, Přední Lhota). V druhé polovině 16. století za sadského faráře Jana Oupického byly dvě samostatné fary v Sadské a Kostelní Lhotě spojeny v duchovní správě kvůli lepšímu vyživení farářů. Ještě v roce 1713 je v historických pramenech zmínka o dvou samostatných farních kostelech.

V roce 1730 v souvislosti s probíhající územní reformou správního uspořádání církve a vznikem nových vikariátů byl kostel v Kostelní Lhotě přičleněn jako filiální k farnímu kostelu v Sadské.

Od roku 1415 není znám žádný kněz, který by sídlil v Kostelní Lhotě. Farnost spravovali faráři ze Sadské až do roku 1785. Prvním krokem k založení samostatné farnosti v určité osadě bylo zřízení tzv. lokálie, kdy v dané osadě žil kněz, kaplan s titulem lokalisty, který tam působil v duchovní správě, vyučoval ve škole a.p. Úředně však byl stále podřízen faráři v některé blízké větší farnosti. Tak v roce 1785 byla v obci Kostelní Lhota zřízena kaplanská lokalie, podřízená faráři v Sadské.

Positivity gives you the turbo power to zoom ahead and conversely, negativity is akin to deceleration that keeps you from soaring high in life. Life is a see- saw of emotions, which swings us from peaks of happiness to gallows of sadness and back. Intertwined with this is the feeling of positivity and negativity depending on where we are. Research has proven that working with a positive mind-set improves performance on all levels. So what is an easy way to transform negativity to positivity?
At times life may be wrenching and testing your will power to the limits, everything may be off track and each passing day piles on more of it. Even in the darkest of the days, there would be moments of joy, however small and inconsequential it may seem. Pick any three tiny golden straws that made you smile; it could be as simple as meeting an old friend, someone thanking you or listening to your favorite oldie.
Write down these in a diary, with a pencil. I recommend using a pencil for two reasons, one you can erase it and change your narration and secondly it takes you back to being childlike, when you could enjoy even the smallest of gifts. Recording & celebrating these small joys has a proven effect on increasing motivation and rewires your brain towards positivity making you feel joyful.
Express gratitude, say thank you.
The moment you start writing down your small moments of joy, you have opened your third eye to notice all the good things others are doing. Expanding your consciousness allows you to notice these tiny messengers of joy, which hitherto would have gone unnoticed. Have courage and say thanks or laud someone for their efforts, from your colleagues to friends and family. Good karma comes back and in few days people around you will start reciprocating and saying thanks, if they felt touched by you. Imagine receiving compliments from near and dear ones daily, there is no way negativity will dare to brood even near your shadow.
Sonja Lyubomirsky, a professor of psychology at the University of California, Riverside, has been studying happiness for more than 20 years now. She and others have concluded that positive activities boost positive emotions, thoughts and behavior. You don't need to bequeath your wealth to be happy, acts as small as lending your colleague a helping hand, buying some one a cup of coffee or sharing your favorite meal can prop your positivity quotient. Put these small things on your to- do list and you will see yourself floating in happiness in darkest of situations.
Life will repeatedly present you with negative situations, how you react is your choice. Instead of wasting energy by reacting negatively, practice the art of morphing a negative situation into a positive one. There is no way, you should let the actions of others or circumstances plunge you into sea of negativity.

By MIKE MAGEE
"These are unprecedented times."
This is a common refrain these days, from any citizen concerned about the American experiment's democratic ideals.
Things like – welcoming shores, no one is above the law, stay out of people's bedrooms, separation of church and state, play by the rules, fake news is just plain lying, don't fall for the con job, stand up to bullies, treat everyone with the dignity they deserve, love one another, take reasonable risks, extend a helping hand, try to make your world a little bit better each day.
But I've been thinking, are we on a downward spiral really? Or has it always been this messy? Do we really think that we've suddenly bought a one-way ticket to "The Bad Place", and there are no more good spots to land – places that would surprise us, with an unpredicted friendship, a moment of creative kindness, something to make you say, "Wow, I didn't see that coming."
I'm pretty sure I'm right that human societies, not the least of which, America, will never manage perfection. But is it (are we) still basically good. What does it mean to be human, and more specifically American?
Now Is Not the Time to Forget About the AIDS Epidemic
Sep 21, 2020 • 2
By SOMA SEN
I keep hearing the voices of colleagues and friends that have been part of the AIDS epidemic compare it to the current COVID-19 pandemic. In fact Dr. Kathy Creticos, Director of Infectious Disease at Howard Brown Health spoke about the politicization of both the pandemics.
"Here we are in 2020 with this disease that kills people, that we don't have any treatments for, that we really don't understand the full manifestation and presentation biology of the virus," Creticos said In the final segment of an interview with Contagion during International AIDS Society (IAS) AIDS 2020 Virtual Sessions. "We're really dealing in the same situation as in the HIV epidemic."
Her words make me reflect on the levity with which the Raegan administration treated the AIDS epidemic and it's parallel to the Trump administration's treatment of the current pandemic. However, she makes an important distinction between the two when she says, "I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that COVID affects everybody, but HIV was certainly perceived as not affecting everybody."
As an Asian American researcher with more than 15 years of experience in this area, whenever, I bring up the issue of the scourge of HIV/AIDS in our community, the common response both from inside and outside the community is "It's not a problem in this community."
Pandemic Fears: What the AIDS Battle Should Teach Us About COVID-19
Mar 12, 2020 • 0
By ANISH KOKA, MD
As the globe faces a novel, highly transmissible, lethal virus, I am most struck by a medicine cabinet that is embarrassingly empty for doctors in this battle. This means much of the debate centers on mitigation of spread of the virus. Tempers flare over discussions on travel bans, social distancing, and self quarantines, yet the inescapable fact remains that the medical community can do little more than support the varying fractions of patients who progress from mild to severe and life threatening disease. This isn't meant to minimize the massive efforts brought to bear to keep patients alive by health care workers but those massive efforts to support failing organs in the severely ill are in large part because we lack any effective therapy to combat the virus. It is akin to taking care of patients with bacterial infections in an era before antibiotics, or HIV/AIDS in an era before anti-retroviral therapy.
It should be a familiar feeling for at least one of the leading physicians charged with managing the current crisis – Dr. Anthony Fauci. Dr. Fauci started as an immunologist at the NIH in the 1960s and quickly made breakthroughs in previously fatal diseases marked by an overactive immune response. Strange reports of a new disease that was sweeping through the gay community in the early 1980's caused him to shift focus to join the great battle against the AIDS epidemic.
An AIDS-Free Future Requires More Than Medicine
Jul 31, 2014 • 1
By RUTH MESSINGER
In 1985, during the height of the AIDS crisis in New York City, I was elected to the New York City Council. Time and again, I felt heartbroken as my friends and constituents lost their lives to a deadly disease without a cure. Too frequently, they suffered the effects of ignorance, fear and hate.
Now, nearly 30 years later, advances in biomedical treatment have been stunning in their power to achieve an AIDS-free future. But the truth is that prejudice and fear are as persistent as HIV. Medicine alone cannot deliver the future we seek. Even as we celebrate the scientific discoveries and treatments that dramatically reduce HIV transmission and death, we should not delude ourselves into thinking that a biomedical solution can overcome the devastating effects of bigotry. If, as the United Nations agency UNAIDS urges, we wish to get to zero—zero discrimination, zero new infections, and zero deaths—we must take an integrated approach that combines biomedical treatment and an enduring commitment to human rights.
Without a doubt, medicine is working. As of September 30, 2013, the United States' program, PEPFAR, is currently supporting life-saving antiretroviral treatment for 6.7 million men, women, and children worldwide. This exceeds President Obama's 2011 World AIDS Day goal of 6 million people on treatment—a four-fold increase (from 1.7 million in 2008) since he took office. But, unfortunately, the World Health Organization predicts that 50 million people will need treatment for HIV by 2030. This means we face a tremendous uphill climb and must somehow identify between $22 and $24 billion—a truly ambitious financial target.
The New Doctor's Desk Reference: How to Break Bad News (For Doctors)
By Doc Gurley
News organizations used Dr. Judah Folkman's death to report on his decades-long cancer research career. Given his status as a distant, non-celebrity, non-Nobel surgeon, you may be asking yourself why you, personally, should care about his death. Here's why.
We were in our second year of medical school, feeling the growing pressure of clinical years just around the corner, when we would be thrown into the hospital system. For now, we had lectures in a large hall with 130 students sitting in chairs that sloped down to a stage. Professors came with presentations and handouts and complex diagrams. The immunology lectures were continuous strings of letters and numbers, with only the occasional verb, impossible to decode as human speech without months of training. Every tissue, every disease, every human physiologic function was discussed, down to the sub-molecular level. After hours of these lectures, the air would get stale and backs would ache and the squeak of weight shifting in chairs would become a metronomic beat marking out time that seemed to pass endlessly.
Then, one day, Dr. Folkman walked on stage. He asked us to put down our pens. He said he was going to teach us something that no one else would ever discuss, much less teach. I can't imagine what he was thinking as he looked out on the sea of our faces. Give or take a few years, almost all of us were twenty-four years old. Almost all of us were single, ambitious, untouched by any of the major human experiences—no children, tragedies, severe illnesses or grief. The youth, the arrogance, the lack of world experience, all of it had to be a daunting, uninspiring sight. Dr. Folkman knew that in mere months, we would be keepers of information that would profoundly change lives. Pathology reports, cancer diagnoses, even the death of a loved one, those were all things we would be telling vulnerable people. Our actions and our words would be often unsupervised, particularly when disaster struck in the middle of the night.
A Look Back – 30 Years Later – At The Impact Of AIDS On Residency Training
Jun 14, 2011 • 2
By BOB WACHTER, MD
Last week marked the 30th anniversary of the first reports of a cluster of cases of pneumocystis pneumonia in gay men in Los Angeles. While I've recently heard a number of reflections on these early years, I'll focus on a topic that I haven't seen covered: how AIDS transformed training – including my own – and what the emergence of AIDS taught me about innovation and, yes, opportunism.
In early 1982, I was a 3rd year student at Penn on my first medicine ward rotation. One night, my team admitted a young gay man with a bizarre story: progressive wasting, spiking fevers, profound dyspnea, and diffuse infiltrates on his chest x-ray. The next morning, I presented the case to my attending, David Goldmann. Having just read reports of a similar illness galloping through urban gay communities, at the end of my presentation David said gravely, "This thing" – the disease didn't yet have a name – "is changing the way we practice medicine."
When I arrived at UCSF in 1983 to begin my internal medicine residency, it didn't cross my mind that this decision would guarantee that my training would be dominated by this new scourge. In 1985, as a third year resident, I jotted down some of my reflections in an essay. It began:
Like many of today's interns and residents training in San Francisco, New York, and Los Angeles, I have cared for many more patients with Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia than pneumococcal pneumonia, more patients with Kaposi's sarcoma than breast cancer, and more patients with cryptocococcal meninigitis than meningococcal meningitis… This realization has prompted me to consider the impact of AIDS on medical residency training.
I sent this paper, entitled "The Impact of AIDS on Medical Residency Training," off to the New England Journal of Medicine. Of course, this was a naïve and hubristic thing for a resident to do, but I really didn't know any better. A few weeks later, while on the wards at the VA, I received a page for an outside call. "Hi, this is Dr. Marcia Angell," said the voice on the other end. "I'm an editor at the New England Journal. We really liked your article but we'll need a few changes before we publish it."

LOYALTY OATH: Much has been made of the power of Janet Napolitano's veto in blocking the Kool-Aid drinkers from the East Valley from implementing their agenda at the Arizona Legislature, but the governor has had a lot of help from two Republican senators: Slade Mead and Linda Binder.
The two moderates, who have infuriated the conservative members of their caucus, have played key roles in several legislative battles, including the showdown over last year's budget. (The two spent time literally on the run from leadership to avoid one budget vote.)
Last week, Mead and Binder wrote an op-ed defending House members Pete Hershberger and Tom O'Halleran, the two renegade Republicans who were first politically neutered and then stripped of their committees by House Speaker Jake Flake, who accused the pair of disloyalty during last fall's special session.
In their article, Mead and Binder confirmed a rumor that has been floating around the Capitol for a few weeks--namely, that one of the House mods was ordered to his office by Flake to write an essay on loyalty during negotiations over Child Protective Services funding last fall.
So now you know why we call it the Romper Room Legislature.
We're willing to bet it was Hershberger who was told the write the term paper. Wonder if he had to clean erasers after Sine Die as well?
Sadly, Binder--a Brit from Lake Havasu who seems to have wandered into the Legislature from the set of Absolutely Fabulous--has decided not to seek re-election, so we won't be seeing much more of her at the Capitol. Conservatives have meanwhile made beating Mead a top priority in the September primary.
Maybe Jack Jewett and Grant Woods can properly educate his district's voters before then.
ARMAND'S HAMMER: Armand Salese--the Tucson lawyer whose established practice has mixed tough defense for criminals, representation for public officials caught in compromising positions, and advocacy for the downtrodden and aggrieved--is stepping up to run for the TUSD board.
Salese knows the Tucson Unified School District is rotten. After all the dust was said to have settled in the landmark, 30-year-old desegregation case, Salese and the late idealistic lawyer Bill Morris were summoned to mop up for Mexican-American students and employees who still got the short end.
Twenty-six years after the late U.S. District Court Judge William Frey issued his ruling, TUSD still plays games by placing minorities in certain schools, excluding them from neighborhood schools and doing little to boost achievement or reduce drop-out rates.
Salese, 62, is smart and not easily pushed around. He also has a sense of justice. Besides taking up the cause in the second round of the deseg case, Salese was a lead lawyer for the African-American families who had their kin shot down by Cochise County deputies in 1982. Members of a church sect settled in what they called Miracle Valley. The good folk of Cochise County never quite got used to having the female-led, black congregation around. Deputies, under Sheriff Jimmy Judd, came a knockin' one Saturday to serve routine warrants for traffic violations, etc. But they came loaded to the teeth.
Three seats of the five TUSD seats are open this year. Joel Ireland, who has forced TUSD students, parents and taxpayers through 16 years of suffering, is toying with a fifth term. He has planted denials with some, but he has taken out papers from the county Superintendent of Schools office. Judy Burns, completing her first term, is seeking a second. No word from Mary Belle McCorkle, which can be read one of two ways: She already filled the district with enough of her pork, including making her daughter a principal; or she will file late for a fourth term to preserve that pork.
Marilyn Freed, past boss of the all-powerful teachers' union, has also pulled papers to make a run.
Last week, Salese appeared on a panel at the University of Arizona College of Law that explored the desegregation case. He criticized TUSD's poor record and the hundreds of millions of dollars--thanks to TUSD's ability to raise property taxes without limits for desegregation--that has not gone where it is needed.
Salese was joined at last week's forum by Richard Yetwin, the dignified lawyer who represented TUSD and continues to be paid to justify the district's George Wallace-like operation.
Also on the panel were Anna Jolivet, the wonderfully resilient and gifted former TUSD administrator who succeeded despite horrid segregation and racism while at TUSD; and Larry Hammond, who 30 years ago was an eager and bright former clerk for two U.S. Supreme Court justices when he and his Phoenix partners signed on to join the clever and frank Rubin Salter to represent African-Americans in the original suit.
It was Salter who capped the forum when addressing progress, political and otherwise.
"The only reason things are going to get better is if there are a few funerals over there" at TUSD headquarters, Salter said. "I've always said that."
Salese would be critical enough to do justice at TUSD. And he is committed to fairness and in helping underdogs. We do hope he gets his campaign off on the right foot. One way would be to stop the improper practice of having TUSD administrators circulate Salese nomination petitions on school time and property. Longtime TUSD school administrator Ralph Lim, who knows better, did just that a couple of weeks ago.
THE LAST REFUGE OF A SCOUNDREL: Rep. Marian McClure is outraged that the Pima County Board of Supervisors has included $10 million for buying land near Davis-Monthan in the same package that sets aside $172 million for other open-space acquisitions.
County officials paired up the two questions to make it harder for homebuilders and other business groups to run a negative campaign against the bonds.
So McClure has introduced House Bill 2538, complete with an emergency clause that would allow it to go into effect as soon as the governor signs it. The proposed legislation, which cleared the House Federal Mandates and Property Rights Committee last week on a 6-3 vote, would bar counties from combining military-base preservation efforts with any other item in bond packages. That way, elected officials won't be able to wrap their pet projects in the flag.
But McClure was one of 36 House members--mostly Republicans--who did exactly the same thing last year with the Military Base Preservation Initiative, which the voters of Arizona will decide this November.
The proposition would amend the state Constitution to allow for land swaps between the state and federal government--an idea that has been defeated at the polls five times since 1990, mostly because opponents fear the state will be swindled by smart developers who will grab valuable acres in exchange for crappy old mines.
The most recent loss was less than two years ago. After the 2002 rejection, a group of Republican senators resurrected the legislation with the exact same language, but changed the name to the Military Base Preservation Initiative, because they hoped the new name would persuade a tiny percentage of voters to switch sides in 2004. To give themselves a bit of cover, they did eventually slip some language about bases into the proposition--even though it's not at all clear that land swaps would really help preserve Arizona bases at all.
House Bill 2538 asks that elected officials not cloak themselves in stars 'n' stripes to win at the ballot box. Too bad that's a standard lawmakers seem incapable of achieving themselves.


text: Nikolai Ivanovich Yezhov (May 1, 1895 – February 4, 1940) was a Jewish Bolshevik secret police official born in the town of Marijampolė, Lithuania. At the time half the population was Jewish but he took on a "Russian" name like most Bolshevik Jews. Appointed by Yagoda as Head of the NKVD, Yezhov participated in the first Five-Year Plan to starve Ukrainian peasants to death and intensify the terror. In 1937 and 1938 alone at least 1.3 million were arrested and 681,692 were shot for 'crimes against the state'. The Gulag population swelled by 685,201 under Yezhov, nearly tripling in size in just two years, with at least 140,000 of these prisoners (and likely many more) dying of malnutrition, exhaustion and the elements in the camps (or during transport to them).

Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) protection measures implement discrete area closures for specific gear types. These closed areas were identified by the Pacific Fishery Management Council and are intended to minimize, to the extent practicable, the adverse effects of fishing on groundfish EFH. There are three types of areas: EFH, HAPC, and EFH Conservation Areas. Only EFH Conservation Areas are closed to specific types of fishing. These areas are defined by latitude and longitude coordinates.
Additional information, including maps and analytical documents can be found on the Groundfish Essential Fish Habitat Page.
Data points for latitude and longitude coordinates are available in additional formats. Please review the Read Me (10KB) before downloading these files.

Marketing & Advertising Sample Post: Top Ad Campaigns of 2018
By Verblio · December 21, 2018 · 6 min read
This 1,521-word article concerning the top marketing and advertising campaigns of 2018 focuses on SMBs that intend to customize, digitalize, and prioritize marketing capabilities in the coming year. By offering what are considered to be excellent examples of outstanding marketing successes, small business owners can better understand the processes and trends that will expand their companies and increase their revenue.
This sample piece is written by Verblio writer Grace S., who specializes in digital marketing trends and consumer engagement. Grace's portfolio includes articles about successful branding, target audiences, and social media business interaction.
Before we dive into the piece, here's a quick teaser video we created for this post using our new Engagement Video service:
https://www.verblio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/EDITED-Verblio-Top-Ad-Campaigns.mp4
The State of Current Marketing Operations
Currently, 89 percent of our population is online, 87 percent of Western Europe follows, and the global average is at 51 percent. The fact is that everything is becoming digitalized. In the same way and for the same reason that mega-institutes like AT&T have to keep up with trends in advertising, mom and pop stores must face the challenges and opportunities that come with digital marketing, as well. The world of marketing today has grown from television and print ads to technological trends that include the use of:
Social Media – For more than five years, marketing experts have concluded that social media makes up a critical part of their strategies. To prove how important social media is to marketing, note that 3.4 billion people are active social media participants.
Chatbots – Combining text, voice and messaging, chatbots converse directly with customers. The success of this technology is due to the need for quick and accurate information. Chat features also collect data about consumers so that interaction with customers improves.
Voice Search – Today's hurried world is depending more and more on voice search and voice commands. Voice assistance is expected to grow by 128.9 percent during 2018.
Blockchain and AI Technologies – Blockchain/AI actions can track whether consumers who click on a business' ads are real and can trace the location of their ads.
Influencer Marketing – Business owners who can find a real person, especially a well-known individual, to share what they like about their brand, can experience a huge difference in sales.
Content – Content is still king. Nearly every business in existence uses insightful, relevant, and entertaining content to add value to their overall brand.
Content marketing is a strategic marketing approach focused on creating and distributing valuable, relevant, and consistent content to attract and retain a clearly defined audience — and, ultimately, to drive profitable customer action.
Top Advertisement Campaigns of 2018
Measuring a marketing campaign's success is sometimes a matter of personal taste; the amount of revenue received because of the advertisement; its creativity factor, or the look of the marketing package. But, across the board, the ads that follow were favorites of a majority of consumers.
The Lenovo YOGA 3 Pro and the YOGA Tablet Pro were introduced to the public via several trendsetting millennial influencers, like blogger Kileen (Cute and Little). The stories shared by this group of creatives resulted in a compilation placed into a Trend Hub that also included entries for a Lenovo product giveaway. The ad trended at no. 8 on Twitter, received 51 million social impressions, and garnered 61 thousand giveaway entries.
This campaign made use of influencer marketing, social media, and exceptional content. Most notable was the creative edge used to draw consumers in through the use of a giveaway, smart influencers, and content that was magnetic.
2. IHOP
This year IHOP, arguably one of the most recognized names in the food industry, announced it was changing its name to IHOb, yes, lower case "b." Because it was introducing a line of burgers, the company said the name change was necessary. Disagreement with this move by IHOP brought the food chain 948,750 conversions. The simple trick also quadrupled its sales.
The changing of the chain's name, of course, was not going to occur, but customers made it clear on social media, that such a ridiculously horrible change would not take place on their watch.
3. Intuit
This accounting, tax preparation, and financial software company aired a commercial seen during the 2017 Super Bowl to bring all its brands together into one big package. The idea was to convince customers that Intuit products are made to use as a consolidated group. Through the use of animation, the commercial featured a Snapchat filter starring the animated Intuit Giant who starred in the video. The campaign continued into 2018, along with added digital channels and executions.
The target audience for the ad came clear in this quote from the chief marketer of Intuit:
There are 750 million people who work for themselves around the world who juggle managing their finances while pursuing their passions. With today's economy, and the pressures of managing time and money, sometimes it can seem like the odds are stacked against them. But Intuit exists to work for them.
4. American Express
Online conversations and communities that create inherent value to users are few and far between. But American Express rose to the occasion and created its Open Forum website for small businesses. This collaborative site invites authors from various sectors of the business world to share knowledge and wisdom. The forum is a content-rich mecca, and the expenditure for American Express was nothing.
This mega-company is not creating its content; it's finding industry leaders who will contribute expert articles on their forum site. Small businesses can draw on user-generated sources in the same way American Express has. Financial investment is low or nonexistent, while a business's online presence grows.
5. Arby's
This year, Arby's switched from serving Pepsi products to Coke. In doing so, it broke two Guinness World records. One of these record-breakers was the world's most prominent signs, located in Nebraska farmland and covering 212,000 square feet. The sign read, "Arby's now has Coke."
The other was the smallest sign in the world carved onto a sesame seed from an Arby's bun. The wording was the same for this tiny sign. The move toward discarding Pepsi products was not globally approved, but the company hoped the two signs would "win the remaining naysayers over." CMO Jim Taylor said the company was merely trying to communicate a simple message in a one-of-a-kind manner.
Breaking two Guinness records at one time is interesting enough to get Arby's name in front of a multitude of consumers. The change to Coke products is also of great interest to fast-food fans. This campaign was a shoo-in head-turner.
6. LinkedIn
This professional networking brand created a social media campaign focusing on its capabilities. The tagline was "What are you in it for?" Using the answers to that question they received from members, the company created a video ad campaign that featured professionals in myriad fields of endeavor. The main takeaway was that individuals could find their community on LinkedIn.
Incorporating User Generated Content (USG) can foster loyalty to your brand and create authenticity by allowing customers to brag about your business, instead of doing so yourself. LinkedIn wanted to establish that members are "in it together."
7. IKEA
"Oddly IKEA" was the name of the store's highly-visited back-to-school college dorm series. The campaign was made up of a series of 25-minute autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) videos. ASMR, when added to a video, results in deeply relaxing, sometimes mesmerizing reactions from the audience. Additional videos of shorter lengths existed, as well.
In the videos, IKEA's products were on display, but viewers also found themselves chilling out and feeling soothed. The idea was to foster that tingly sensation for consumers that is sometimes triggered by soft whispering or ambient sounds. The campaign, created to highlight college dorm decor, also gave viewers a few minutes of Danish hygge.
8. Kentucky Fried Chicken
KFC wanted to get the news out about their new fried chicken and Belgian Liege-style waffles offering. The company did so with a little Dirty Dancing. The commercial makes fun of the iconic dance scene in the Dirty Dancing film starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey. Colonel Sanders raises a life-size bottle of Mrs. Butterworth's syrup over his head with arms extended.
Websites and ad agencies favorited this marketing campaign in large part because of its creativity. Humor grabs consumers' attention. Digitalization provides numerous avenues for slipping a bit of laughter into a marketing idea. This type of ad not only becomes part of pop culture, and is a result of pop culture, but also results in multitudinous word-of-mouth interactions and recommendations.
9. Doritos #Spitfire and MTNDEW #IceCold
This hashtag ad campaign was a joint effort. The Mountain Dew Ice Corporation and the Doritos Company battled it out in face-to-face lip synch war between Morgan Freeman and Peter Dinklage. Both companies were setting up what they hoped would be a viral avalanche. The ad did not make it all the way to viral stardom but did get people talking, which is always a plus.
The Mountain Dew and Doritos ad is a fantastic example of the many ways digital advertising can get people talking about your SMB. The choices of how to make this happen are limitless.
Digital marketing assists in discovering a specific audience. It allows businesses to advertise locally through hyperlocal targeting. SMBs can readily access tools that make their advertising mobile. Companies are turning to digital marketing to increase awareness of their brand; influence buyers' purchasing processes; increase leads; close new customers and nurture existing customers.
Because digital advertising is accessible, affordable, and powerful, you can test the waters by using digital assistants and marketing apps. Or you can find a marketing agency that will work with you to find a budget you can manage and a plan that fits your exact needs and goals.
