Latest Gaffe? Biden Claims to be University Professor
Washington Times | Mar 26, 2020 | News | 0
Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden returned Wednesday to his longtime habit of gilding his academic credentials.
Mr. Biden claimed to be an Ivy League professor at the end of a nearly 8-minute, rambling answer to a question from an 18-year-old on what he was doing to appeal to young voters who may favor Sen. Bernie Sanders for the Democratic presidential nomination.
"There's a lot we can do. When I left the United States Senate, I became a professor at the University of Pennsylvania," he said, bringing up that fact to claim that his professorship established a bond with college students.
After mentioning a school that bears the Biden name at the University of Delaware, Mr. Biden said, "I've spent a lot of time on campus with college students."
In fact, Mr. Biden was given an honorary-professor position one week after he left the vice president's office in 2017. (He also misstated the time of his becoming the first "Benjamin Franklin Presidential Practice Professor," as he left the Senate in 2009 to become vice president.)
He was neither supposed to nor did he ever teach a class, according to his own spokesperson and multiple Philadelphia media accounts.
Last July, the Philadelphia Inquirer noted that Penn has paid Mr. Biden $900,000 and asked "what did he do to earn the money?"
The paper said Mr. Biden held, "a vaguely defined role that involved no regular classes and around a dozen public appearances on campus, mostly in big, ticketed events."
The Wednesday video meeting was not the first time that Mr. Biden had claimed to be an Ivy League professor.
Campaigning last month in South Carolina, according to the Daily Wire, Mr. Biden said that when he left the White House in 2017, instead of "taking a Wall Street job," he "became a teacher, became a professor."
While Mr. Biden's formal title at Penn was indeed "professor," if only an honorary one, "teacher" would be a claim to be doing something Mr. Biden was not.
Mr. Biden has a lengthier history of aggrandizing his academic credentials.
In 1987, in a presidential campaign that also was rocked by plagiarism charges, Mr. Biden claimed he had graduated in the top half of his law school class.
However, the Associated Press reported that "records indicate he finished near the bottom."
That same year he also claimed to have attended law school on a full academic scholarship, which was not true.

BREAKING: Kenyan Govt Denies Involvement In Nnamdi Kanu's Arrest, Extradition
by Innocent Odoh
The Kenya Government has dismissed claims that it was involved in the arrest and extradition of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to Nigeria.
Recall that on Tuesday, the Federal Government through the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN) told journalists of the interception of Kanu at an undisclosed location and subsequent extradition to Nigeria.
However, the British High Commission in Nigeria denied that the IPOB leader was arrested or extradited from the UK, where he is a citizen.
Also, it will be recalled that Kanu's family and IPOB had accused the Kenyan government of having committed the most serious violation of international law.
But at a press briefing by the Kenyan High Commission in Nigeria in Abuja on Friday, the High Commissioner, Ambassador (Dr.) Wilfred Machage, dismissed the reports as "fictional, imaginary and deliberately concocted to fuel antagonistic feelings among certain section of the Nigerian people."
The envoy challenged anyone with the facts relating to the alleged arrest in Kenya to present those facts, when, where, how and who was particularly involved in the alleged arrest.
He noted thatl rather than accuse Kenya of having a hand in the reported arrest, the Nigerian media should ask the Nigerian Government to explain in which country they arrested the secessionist leader.
He said, "The Government of Kenya is particularly appalled by the spurious, derogatory and libelous mention of the name of our dear President on this matter as has been reported.
"I wish to categorically state that we are not happy at this ridiculous attempt of dragging the name of Kenya and President Uhuru Kenyatta on this matter of arrest and extradition of the self-claimed IPOB leader."
The High Commissioner emphasized that Kenya has continued to enjoy cordial diplomatic relations with both the Federal Government of Nigeria and its great accommodating and amiable citizens.
Machage added that Kenya is "committed to sustain the historical friendship between our two governments and the peoples of our two countries. We wish to further cement our diplomatic relations with a view to ensure mutually beneficial relations our two countries."
LEADERSHIP reports that Kanu was arrested last Sunday through what the Nigerian government described a collaborative operation of Nigerian and foreign security services.

The Future Isn't the Same as it Used to Be: The AANMC and the Urgent Need for a Strategy for Fast Naturopathic Medical Education Growth
The Future Isn't the Same as it Used to Be: The AANMC and the Urgent Need for a Strategy for Fast Naturopathic Medical Education Growth2010-05-252015-11-25https://ndnr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/ndnr-logo-with-web1-300x169-copy.pngNaturopathic Doctor News and Reviewhttps://ndnr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/15680249_ml.jpg200px200px
David Schleich, PhD
There are urgent tasks on the table for today's naturopathic, academic leaders. The image: grow to as many NDs on the continent as there are DCs, at the very least; the reality: too many of our graduates are struggling. The imperative to create new schools and programs needs a strategy which creates and sustains more successful graduates in more jurisdictions before the opportunism inherent in the so-called integrated medicine initiative capture precious present and future ND territory.
There has been a long conversation among naturopathic doctors about concentrating on creating new naturopathic medical education capacity within existing public research universities and schools, as well as optimizing our current cohorts. Accompanying the debate on where to generate more seats has been the concern that science-based research incorporated into any higher education context for naturopathic medical education would, without careful shepherding, co-opt and dilute the medicine. Whatever the nooks and crannies of the discussion, though, the original and abiding intention to join the post-secondary "first-professional degree" niche has grown out of an awareness that the proprietary schools that initially dominated the North American medical education (allopathic and naturopathic) landscape in the 19th and early 20th centuries did not survive Flexner well. More importantly, those schools did not ultimately establish the naturopathic profession securely in the primary health care landscape in North America.
To help us through this urgency about how best to strengthen the numbers of successfully practicing NDs in North America, we can turn to a helpful, emerging literature filled with suggestions (Aakster, 1986; Bloomfield, 1983; British Medical Association, 1986; Frank, 1981; Rosengren, 1980; Wiesner, 1989) that has been charting a pioneering course through such confusion in recent decades. Within this literature there is a useful tradition of radical and progressive inquiry that takes aim at the medical industrial complex characterized by the elitism of the allopathic medical profession and the well-known and well-established link among it, the pharmaceutical and medical equipment and supplies industries, and the insurance industry. These sociologists, medical historians, and public policy scholars have written extensively about the hierarchies that exist among medical professionals who are connected to this so-called complex, and thus as we propel our schools more and more into the higher education niche, it would do us well to become increasingly familiar, as institutions, with the core ideas and conclusions emerging from that scholarship.
Doyal (1979) and Navarro (1976), for example, using political economy as a framework, describe for us the social context in which medicine operates. Ehrenreich (1978), Illich (1977), and McKeown (1979) have reminded us of the failure of allopathic medicine to deal with numerous health concerns. In any case, these sociological backdrops help us understand the nature and impact of the marginalization of the non-allopathic medical traditions which has discouraged us from getting the resources in motion to grow our numbers to a place of significant impact. Two decades ago, Ruzek (1986) outlined the social aspects of primary medical care which are in our favor, but which also are a place of confusion for the public. Fifteen years ago, Shroff called attention to the "risks of many technical diagnostic and therapeutic procedures" (1996) when compared with holistic medicine where the practitioner validates client feelings (Flood, 1995). As these dialogues and debates took place, the naturopathic medical education community was not in a place to contribute, much less pay attention. We cannot afford this absence any longer.
The urgency some feel about ramping up our numbers within this difficult arena revolves around refining and reshaping our template or model for new program creation. Many of our deans and program chairs are increasingly aware of how our curriculum and the very uniqueness of our professional location in civil society could be inalterably co-opted by being systematically assimilated into the mainstream post-secondary career preparation corridors of North American higher education. They are so busy keeping our programs viable that a coordinated effort to add more capacity has eluded us to date.
In order to keep to our original purposes of producing the best naturopathic medical education possible and graduating qualified clinicians to form the profession in North America, we will need to be present and active whenever an opportunity arises to train and place more naturopathic students. The great vulnerability, whether we expand our numbers or not, is that the biomedical and some allied health care professions will cherry pick our modalities and deliberately, or unconsciously, dissipate the cumulative momentum of naturopathic professional formation as a result.
The interconnectedness of the AANP, the CAND, the AANMC, the INM, and the CNME is instrumental to this work, and by extension the participation and energy of the state and provincial associations, but it is the AANMC that is best positioned to let the clutch out. In ways which operationally have not yet materialized on the action agendas of those organizations, but whose collective creativity and volition are the only places where this work can be done, the needed work begs attention. That work is the creation of a well informed, deliberate, and strategic plan for growing our numbers and is upon us. This is probably the most important window facing us this decade. It is likely with the AANMC where the task lands most heavily.
Our multi-program, regional universities, and our colleges, have successfully sustained programmatic and institutional accreditation at the same time as they have done what they can to help out with some of the complex needs of professional formation such as placement, career differentiation, painfully slow growth in residency education, and making their communities more aware of what NDs are and what they can do. However, as institutions in the middle of such work, they do not converse nor have they created a forum for such dialogue. Their mandate is shared by our existing agencies and despite brisk conversations on occasion, there is no strategy on the table. While it is desirable that our institutions become stronger players in the higher education landscape, there is no broad forum where those institutions delegate the authority to manifest a growth strategy in the most pragmatic, post-secondary sense. The AANMC is our most valuable tool for discussing how best to incubate and support the emergence of new program capacity. We cannot rely on the spontaneous spawning of another Bastyr, SCNM, or NCNM because of the huge cost and the long lead times necessary for achieving accreditation.
The philosophical and professional formation foundations and mission of our colleges and programs would benefit from such dialogue about the design and governance of new programs within larger institutions that do not have a history in the naturopathic universe. CCNM, Boucher, and SCNM still maintain single program frameworks, but their future program colleagues will come from multi-program institutions with differing imperatives and far less corporate savvy about how to give priority to the growth of a single profession.
For as long as any of us can remember, there has been talk from the field about the desirability of new programs in states such as California, New York, and Florida, as cases in point. The advocates for these new programs think of them as being either stand-alone institutions or degree programs within an existing university, but in any case CNME-accredited. The implications for the academic and educational organizations that are essential to support bona fide naturopathic degree programs are many, including activity we have not broadly supported in the past such as governance development, teacher education in the natural medicine disciplines, student advocacy, and collective research agendas.
There are difficult, fascinating, and challenging questions to ask and answer: what are the interdependent roles of the AANMC and the CNME in incubating this planning dialogue and eventually these new program manifestations? How quickly must the AANMC realize increased financial resources and become organizationally separate from the AANP in the same way our existing colleges are not structurally linked to state associations? From which talent pools will we draw medical academics and academic administrators to build, fortify, and defend new programs in institutions not familiar with the terrain of our medicine and our philosophy? How will the staff of these new programs guard against the inevitable hijacking of modalities so long and with so much effort preserved by naturopathic doctors, but which the nearly four dozen so-called "integrated medicine" programs around the country will scoop in some version with a second thought?
We have to get very good, very soon, at understanding the culture of higher education in America in order not only to ask these questions, but also to find the time and brain power to chart courses of action and stay those courses. Our leaders are already active in navigating into these higher education terrains. For example, Dr. Paul Mittman, President of Southwest College for more than a decade, recently earned his EdD and by making that effort exemplifies the kind of leader who can swim in the cranky universe of programs in diverse institutions which are circling around us. Dr. Bob Bernhardt, the longest serving President in CCNM's history, has also recently completed his PhD at the University of Toronto and has kept CCNM safe in the prickly post-secondary arena in Ontario. That Dr. Fraser Smith, founding dean of the naturopathic program at NUHS, is also working assiduously on a PhD is a further example of the commitment of our academic leaders to drink in the skills and knowledge needed for us to thrive in the post-secondary, higher education terrains on our flight path. As these long-time leaders in the profession deepen their knowledge of the primary cultures within the academy, they model the importance of understanding the culture, which is likely to be where we create our much-needed new capacity.
In this regard, Hanna (2000) gives us an insight into what that world looks like: "The university will be less inclined to base important decisions about programs and priorities strictly upon considerations of content and program quality" (p. 93) and more upon "what students, the adult marketplace, and the university publics generally say they want from their university." Earlier Hanna set out what those new models would look like, basing them on analysis of trends observed in emerging organizational practice:
extended traditional universities
for-profit, adult-centered universities
distance education/technology-based universities
corporate universities
university/industry strategic alliances
degree/certification competency-based universities
global multinational universities
(Hanna, 2000, p. 94)
Hanna's notion of those trends and characteristics complement Bergquist's (1992) earlier outline of the "four primary cultures within the academy" and, as Hanna points out, anticipate a fifth, "entrepreneurial" one. Bergquist's taxonomy of cultures includes the following: managerial, developmental, negotiating, collegial. Tierney (1998) adds to this valuable insight into higher education culture by pointing out the importance of "strong, congruent cultures" (p. 11) and by commenting about what constitutes "weak, incongruent, or disconnected cultures" (p. 13) in the higher education sector. Hanna's discussion of "extended traditional universities" builds on the work of Bergquist, Tierney, Clark (1983, 1998), and others, and contemplates a time of transformation when the "traditional, content-based organization and decision making within the university" (p. 99) will have to respond to a competitive higher education environment, one in which our naturopathic colleges and naturopathic programs in small, comprehensive universities will also have to thrive. As we move into these conversations, we move into a world where we can get our important work done safely.
Whatever its forms along the way, the higher education culture has always been a fertile place for the naturopathic profession, even though we have had no single success so far in establishing a strong naturopathic program within a large, comprehensive university. We began where we could and our early college founders felt rightly that naturopathic medicine needed the affirmation and credibility of a university credential at the first professional degree level (demanding undergraduate preparation, especially in the basic medical sciences) and context. This approach is not inconsistent with what every other major profession has done in the last century to gain credibility and credentialing. Coupled with an affinity for the higher education realm is the imperative of routinely collecting and systematizing the knowledge of the profession.
Since 2004, the Foundations of Naturopathic Medicine (FNM) Project, under the leadership of Dr. Pamela Snider, has been busy doing just that, engaging in a strategy to codify the distinct knowledge of the profession, and within a model that resonates with the higher education framework so important to professional formation. The research framework, the processes of the FNM, and its attractiveness to donors and sponsors are all grounded in higher education standards which have not gone unnoticed by that sector of the corporate world watching the formation of naturopathic medicine, a lucrative and powerful sector. The president of Essiac Canada International, Mr. Terry Maloney, who bankrolled the initial activity of the FNM Project, continues to do so largely because "this research and writing project is up there with the best of anything the Harvard C.A.M. boys are doing; I want to help make sure naturopathic doctors keep in the game." (T.P. Maloney, January 5, 2004). It is not surprising that Seroyal and Metagenics, respected suppliers to the naturopathic profession, also came forward shortly thereafter with equal financial gusto to support the project's "rich research outcomes which can help make naturopathic medicine unassailable" (Dr. J. Bland, June 2007). Carmen Fortino, CEO of Seroyal, put it bluntly, "We have to make sure the world knows that NDs are here to stay" (C. Fortino, May 2008).
Clearly, the profession's leaders and partners want to support efforts to embed the medicine in institutionally and programmatically accredited, degree-granting colleges and universities dedicated to the institutionalizing of naturopathic medical education and the proliferation of the profession. It is important to remember though, the FNM Project did not ever find a home within the AANMC, where it most naturally gravitates in terms of mission. Rather, its academic home is within a single institution and the funding apparatus is conjugated through that institution's 501(c)(3) mantle. It is a foothold, but it is not the future. These kinds of ad hoc relationships beg strategic redefinition not only to create more smooth sailing as our colleagues go about their work, but also to clarify who is doing what for the cause.
A further, quite different but telling, example comes from Canada where the higher education terrain is not the same as the United States'. CCNM's and BINM's diploma programs do not fit snugly into the higher education worlds of Ontario and British Columbia. CCNM's leaders over the years had to create a hybrid version of a post-secondary credential which bridged the higher education world and the world of the private career college, at the same time as satisfying the standards of the U.S.-based CNME programmatic accreditation body. CCNM can, like CMCC (its chiropractic colleague in Toronto), contemplate getting authority to issue a credential more like their U.S. counterparts from the provincial post-secondary authority within the framework of Ontario 2000 legislation making it possible for some private career colleges to issue degrees. The chiros have managed to get there, but CCNM's present credential still does not transfer equitably among other degree-granting institutions because of the arrangements that have emerged in that province for nonprofit, private colleges. That a career college in an American state will chart a similar runway for a naturopathic credential is not out of the realm of possibility; in fact, within the present administration, community colleges in the U.S. are studying "natural medicine" career paths for their students with more alacrity than ever.
Ruch (2001), a social historian, comments that such hybrid institutions "have more in common with multi-campus, public, non-profit universities than they do with traditional proprietary schools" (p. 24). The Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education (McCormick, 2001) provides a separate category for such institutions, calling them "specialized institutions" typically awarding "a majority of degrees in a single field." The differences between our colleges and public sector institutions, though, do not appear to stem principally from our schools being nonprofit, private, and from public sector institutions being nonprofit, public. Rather, the essential differences issue from what Ruch (2001) calls the "language of accounting and the law and practices of taxation" (p. 25). In this regard, our colleges' administrative and academic processes show a pattern of unrelenting movement toward a location in the higher education realm. It is not surprising, then, that new programs will seek the same kind of realm to find a home. We simply have to be talking about and planning for these contingencies so as to control our own professional formation agenda.
What is that realm really like? Most of our teachers and graduates have their own university experiences as reference points; however, also valuable to understanding where our naturopathic colleges are located in the larger development and purposes of the university in the United States and Canada is the wide range of literature about aspects of the nature and development of universities as institutions. There is, for example, the relationship of the university to society (Partington, 1987; Belshaw, 1974; Niblett and Butts, 1972; Winchester, 1986) and not specifically to the self-interested needs of the profession whom its graduates join. Within the university community there are issues of autonomy (Jones, 1996; Skolnik and Jones, 1992; Winchester, 1985; Sibley, 1983), differentiation and diversity in its higher education systems (Huisman, 1998; Baldrige, Curtis, Ecker & Riley, 1977; Clark, 1996; Geiger, 1985, 1986, 1988,1991; Goedegebuure, Lysons & Meek, 1993; King, 1970; Patil & Taillie, 1982; Rhoades, 1990; Smart, 1978; Trow, 1995), and the matter of academic freedom (Bruno-Jofre, 1996; Shils, 1973, 1978; Russell, 1993). Governance and diversity in the university community (Huisman, 1998; Skolnik, 1986; Birnbaum, 1983; Jones, 1996) are also essential elements in understanding the development of the university and its attraction for our naturopathic schools. Related literature discusses the value of research (Boyer, 1991; Geiger, 1986; Clark, 1995; Schwartzman, 1984) and important issues of accountability (Hufner, 1991; Banta, 1993; Skolnik, 1994; Cutt; 1990).
Whether it is the early leadership and success of research activity at Bastyr and Southwest, the creation and growth of the Helfgott Research Institute at NCNM, or the growing sophistication and reach of the research program at CCNM, the pool of academic leaders we need in this multi-faceted environment must learn as much as they can about the nature and functioning of the larger universe of higher education in order better to comprehend why we're doing what we're doing. As Altbach (1996) further comments, "In this complex environment and in an atmosphere of controversy about higher education, there is a great need for expert knowledge and data about all aspects of higher education" (p.1). Even if, as Altbach also claims, higher education as a field of study "lacks an institutional base" (p.2), for our purposes its resources nevertheless include important contextualizing features such as the nature of governance or the "study of formal systems of education" (p. 3), or the interest in higher education financing. What is critical is that on the agendas of the AANMC, the CAND, the AANP, the INM, and the CNME these urgent conversations appear often and be well supported with information, current intelligence and money. What is equally urgent is that we make room for medical academic career opportunities which include support for the formal training of our academic leaders in the various cultural aspects of higher education. The place where these imperatives need a strategic framework for action is the AANMC.

In this episode we talk to Patrick Lennon, Co-Founder of Veritone One.
586: Podcast Advertising: What B2B Brands Need to Know w/ Patrick Lennon
In today's episode you're going to be hearing from a gentleman named Patrick Lenin and we're going to be talking about podcast advertising. So I thought it would be a really great time to tell you about a new podcast advertising model that we are actually deploying for this show that you're listening to be tob growth. We have started partnering with BB Brands and instead of doing the traditional fifteen second or thirty two ad spot or even the mid roll add we're partnering with sponsors and actually building entire episodes around the success stories of our sponsors customers. And so we recently partnered with bound bound three hundred and Sixtycom and we've done three will be doing three interviews with their customers, and so it's been a really effective model. I feel like it adds value to the listener to hear real success stories from customers that are using, you know, the litany of Martech solutions...
...that are on the market today. But it also helps the sponsor by allowing their customer to do their marketing for them. And so if you are a you represent a BTB brand looking to dip your toe in podcast advertising, we would love to chat with you to see if there's some synergy there and possibly feature your customers stories on this show. On BB growth we're getting just a right around fiftyzero and downloads every month. Our listeners are BDB marketing leaders, CMOS, VP's of marketing agency CEOS. We would love to partner with you, so shoot me an email, james at sweet fish Mediacom. And here is our episode with Patrick Lennon. You're listening to the B tob growth show, podcast dedicated to helping be to be executives achieve explosive growth. What do you're looking for? Techniques and strategies or tools and resources? You've come to...
...the right place. I'm Jonathan Green and I'm James Carberry. Let's get it into the show. Welcome back to the BB growth show. We are here today with Patrick Lennon. He is the CO founder of veraitone. One, Patrick, how you doing today? So Great. Thank you. I'm really excited to chat with you today. Patrick. We're going to be talking really about offline marketing, brand specifically with podcasts. Is a space that you and your team are very familiar with. Excited to dive in to that with you, but but to give our listeners a little bit of context. Can you explain what is Faratonel on? What are you guys all about? What are you and your team doing over there? Sure, thank you so veryitonal one is a full service media buying agency. However, we do have a technology division which is verytone, which is probably traded, and that technology platform allows visibility and optimization that really hasn't been seen before in terms of offline media and...
...that that's considered radio, television, Youtube and podcast. So we handle everything from director spot television to audio to podcast at to Youtube, and we do it for some of the biggest ECOMMERCE brands out there, many of which your listeners use every day, like goober or word dress on websites or linked in, when you're using linked in. So we use a plethora of different media types and we scale campaigns to a to an effective CPA. I love it so, Patrick in in diving more into that, we're going to talk specifically about podcasting and some of the results that you guys are seeing in a higher level. They're when it comes to the media buying for for podcasting. What have you found to be the variables that really make for a successful podcasting campaign from an advertising perspective the question and podcasting is sort of a phenomenon because there's no limit insight in terms of how much content can be put into the universe.
So new content coming on every day. We manage between four hundred and six hundred shows a week podcast integrations, and what we do is we target the first take internal research, so we check all the boxes of all the internal research, you know, items that we have, from pod track to all the different research tools, to make sure that we're taught, looking to the right demographic, we're talking to the right consumer, whether it's be to BEBTC, etc. Etc. Then, once we do that, we take internal research and internal research tells us we spend tens of millions of dollars on podcasts and we understand sort of what works what doesn't work to a CEPA, to a demographic. So sometimes the show might look wonderful on paper and MPR show, let's say, on podcasting, but we know, based on creative restrictions, based on what MPR will want, when you to do whether it's a pre roll add, a mid roll add or a post role add, all those things come into play in termss of driving an effective CPA for for...
...campaigns. We're seeing a lot of growth, lot of success with be tob and have been doing this now with legal zoom for fifteen years in radio and now moving them into more podcasts because the space is so fruitful for kind of efficiency PAS. I love it. We've we've started bringing on more sponsors, specifically a lot of Martet companies, because our audience is made up of bb marketers and so this is this is a area that I'm very interested in. As far as the measurement, you said that you know they're performing really well. What are some of the metrics that you guys are using to measure success of a BDB brands podcast advertising campaign? Sure, so, every every client we have has different success metrics, Apis call them. So whether it's a CEPA to a new to install, so, whether it's a free trial, it's just it really depends on what that clients metrics are. We have real time dashboards that allow our team to in take from a number of different methods...
...data from our clients. So we can literally turn results around from unique landing pages. So when we go into a podcast campaign, traditionally podcasters have sort of branded podcasting with a unique url, so that's called indirect so indirect attribution will tell us how many unique visitors came to a to a site, let's let's say it's legal Zoomcom, slash NPR or legal doom not atom Corolla. Then we know, based on the traffic it's coming into that unique url, what our cost per uniques are. What are conversions? We can follow that consumer all the way through the funnel. We can see what lifetime value looks like, we can see what average order value looks like. Then we capture the indirect on the website, so the main site of Legal Zoomcom. We might have a different method of capture there, whether it's a survey, whether there's a lot of different ways we capture within either pre or post survey.
So we have different methods of doing it. And then our analytics team, we have afore analytics team, devises a collaboration between each client so they're comfortable with the measurement tactics. And then we optimize our day to day basis on a weekly basis and then we cut those shows that aren't working and we add the shows that are working. Love it that. Can you speak, patrick a little bit to the creative element of what makes a podcast ad from your experience, what makes it successful? So creative, creative speaks to each host right and a mistake often times is taking one creative and dispersing it amongst, you know, one thousand, five hundred and twenty three forty host and saying okay, each involunteer speaks the same way. We have unique copy that's actually drafted for podcasters because podcast, you know, each host reads differently. Some like copy points, some like scripts, some like more banter. So there's...
...just there's just a different variety of them. We have a full creative team podcast writers. It just right for podcast medium, for the podcast medium, so they know sort of how to speak in that language. So it really depends. I mean certain brands are more of integration in terms of a banter with a creative and some some host will read straight, you know, from the script. Not Not that one host reading from the script doesn't do as well as a hosted is more banter, but you know he shows does it differently. Got It, Patrick is. There's somebody listening to this right now and they're thinking, okay, I've been hearing a lot of people talk about podcasts advertising. I've been hearing some success stories, but you know, I'm brand new to this. Are there any and of words of wisdom or maybe mistakes that you see brands making when they when they venture into podcasts advertising that you would warn them about? To the person who have maybe hasn't done it yet but they're about to step into doing their first campaign? It's good question.
I think the thing that we recently get a study that showed if a client comes in and spends less than seventy five thou over three months, and typically what we tell clients has spend between Seventy Five Tho hundred and twenty five thousand over three to four months. Okay, and literally a x more success model comes when people spend that amount of money, because we've taken test that are fifty, that are twenty five, and there three times more likely to succeed in the scale if they step between seventy five and one hundred and twenty five. So the goal here is not, from an agency standpoint, to get more budget, because any agency that has the right depth behind it is upside down on a test. They lose money. So between manpower, between negotiations, everything that we do. So it's really to not get a false negative on the channel, because you have enough inventory out there and enough shows out there to optimize and to get enough of a read, because shows are,...
...you know, they take a while to work sometimes. So I was like, don't spend too little, but don't spend too much. Okay, that's that is a fantastic piece of advice. It's super, super specific, Teken, so I really appreciate you sharing that insight with this Patrick. Oh Yeah, for sure. We walked away from clients and said just save you money. I mean we don't. The end of the day. We keep clients, you know, for ten, fifteen years, you know, because we treated like it's our money and we just we've seen too many people come in and say, okay, I want to spend tenzero and we say stay in digital, stay in print. You know, where you can actually track it. There's so much breakage and what we do? You have to really invest the time and resources it. That makes perfect sense. Is there there anything else related to podcast advertising, Patrick, that you think our audience should know before before I get into our last question today, Gum, I would just say that podcasting is changing a bit in dynamically inserted adds versus embedded. So the way podcast first started was inbedded ads would live within a show for...
...perpetuity. So hypothetically, let's say you know Alec Baldwin on here is the thing which the MP our podcast five years ago. If that show is running, that add that he read, that he interviewed Michael Douglas, let's say, would stay forever. Your ad would stay in there. Nowadays, what they're doing, the bigger shows are doing it already. About forty percent of shows are doing it. It's dynamically inserted. So you're buying impressions. So basically the add still read by Alec Baldwin, let's say. But what happens is as soon as you get your agreed upon number of impressions, your ad is removed and a new AD is put in. So be aware of dynamically assorted. Be Aware of embedded versus that. In a clincer, we like to have embedded because embedded works better, because it has a longer shelf life and you get drag okay, so that's one thing. Also, be weary of buying just pre roll beginning of an ad, beginning of a show or...
...post is something that you should really be buying almost it no charge or getting for a very low amount of money. Okay, so those are just some high level topics. Are Howl, some mid roll, kind of mid roll host read ads are really what brand should be focused on. Those are the best. You know those are. That's the preminamentory because you have a consumer that really doesn't even know it's an add but pre roll you skip through and post role people have checked out. Mean there's value there, but it's just, you know, you got to just be able to measure the value by by what you're paying for it. All right, Patrick, well, this this has been fantastic. I want to close with one last question, which you know, is a question that I've been asking my guests in the last few weeks. I've been loving the responses I've been hearing. But Patrick, what is the legacy that you'd like to leave? You know, I'm unique in the sense that I started the media agency side of the business when I lost my vision. So I'm blind. I have a little Bit of vision my right eye, so I'm legally blind. So I've started foundations and then different things for the blind and low vision and I think the legacy I'm I'd...
...like to leave is that anybody can do anything if you work hard and you know that. You know you don't give up. So I think maybe there's there's you know, there's a lot people don't do because they just give up. Yeah, man, that has a fascinating story. I had. I had no idea that you had lost your site. Yeah, that's incredible, Patrick. If somebody is listening to this, they want to stay connected with you, they want to learn you're more about Bariton one. What's the best way for them to go about doing that? Just hit me on Linkedin, Patrick. Last name El n o n very tone. You can find me pretty easily, or feel free to shoot me an email to Patrick at arytone Vril anynecom and I'll gr back there and thank you for the thanks for the chat today. No problem, Patrick.

A Light to the Nations: The Missional Church & the Biblical Story
Apr 12, 2016 | Blog, Church, Mission, Missional | 0 comments
Michael W. Goheen has written an outstanding book called: A Light to the Nations: The Missional Church and the Biblical Story (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker, 2011). Goheen is Geneva Professor of Worldview and Religious Studies at Trinity Western University.
In A Light to the Nations, he introduces biblical themes foundational to missional theology. The book displays careful biblical scholarship. It interacts with a wide range of missiological and biblical sources. The book draws attention to voices that examine the nature and mission of the church. Goheen presents a basic biblical theology of the missional church. He presents a missional reading and interpretation of Scripture. And he does this by combining careful scholarship with an accessible, pastoral style.
Michael Goheen describes his primary concern. "It is to analyze the missional identity of the church by tracing its role in the biblical story." Goheen doesn't emphasize missiology at the expense of a theology of the church. Instead, he shows the link between missional ecclesiology and the mission of God in the world and in history.
We will never appreciate our missional identity without a biblical theology of God and the church. This must place mission at the center of the church's essence, identity, and activities. Our God is a missional God, who has a missional church.
We won't appreciate our missional identity without a biblical theology of God & church. Click To Tweet
Michael Goheen shows how the church has obscured its missional self-understanding. It's especially done this at particular times in its history. Images of the church shape the church and its understanding and pursuit of its mission. We need missional images and metaphors to inspire us to join with God in mission.
Michael Goheen roots a missional theology of the church in the gospel. He shows the relationships between God's missional nature, God's mission in history, Jesus' message of the kingdom, the shape of the gospel, the nature and purpose of the church, and the biblical story.
We need to understand God's missional nature—and the trinitarian mission that unfolds in the biblical story—if we are to understand the mission of the church. Michael Goheen unpacks this. His analysis spans Israel's missional role and identity, and missional themes in the intertestamental period. He explores Jesus' message of the kingdom, and his formation of a distinctive people. He shows how the death and resurrection of Jesus define and shape the church's missional identity. From there, he examines the missional identity of the church in the New Testament. We should understand these biblical images missionally: The People of God, the New Creation, the Body of Christ, the Temple of the Holy Spirit, and "dispersion, exile, aliens, and strangers."
As Michael Goheen traces this biblical narrative, he returns repeatedly to some central themes. The church participates in God's mission. The church understands its mission in the light of the biblical narrative. The church has a communal mission. And the church continues the mission of Israel, Jesus, and the Early Church. We continue this mission as we follow the mission of God. We do this by altering people to the reign of God in Jesus Christ, in the power of the Spirit.
Michael Goheen is both scholar and pastor. He's concerned for concrete expressions of a missional theology of the church. But he's committed to doing the biblical and theological work first. Goheen laments that biblical scholars are sometimes "fearful of drawing out the relevance for today." Meanwhile, some pastors "seek contemporary relevance and sometimes fail to respect the cultural distance between text and context."
Michael Goheen unpacks the biblical themes and narratives undergirding the missional church. He does this in a scholarly and pastoral way. He attempts "to remain faithful to the story the Bible is telling by remaining within the original historical and cultural context with its problems and questions." But he also provides an excellent range of practical implications for local congregations. These implications span many areas of the life of the church. These include worship, preaching, prayer, community, contrast, cultural engagement, vocation, leadership training, evangelism, social action, hospitality, global and local mission, nurture of children and families, small groups, and unity.
I have one main concern about the work. This is that Michael Goheen could have engaged more Majority World voices. The bibliography is almost entirely Euro-American. This would have been a richer book by engaging missional perspectives from Asia, Latin America, Africa, and other parts of the Majority World.
Having said that, I know Michael Goheen is passionate about profiling Majority World voices. In Introducing Christian Mission Today he writes: "Every area of theology should engage the insights of the non-Western church, but since much of the theological curriculum seems to be blind to the theology, church history and biblical scholarship emanating from the Southern hemisphere, it is incumbent on mission scholars who are aware of this rich fruit to display it for the rest of the theological academy." It also needs to be communicated throughout the rest of the church.
The last chapter has an outstanding collection of practical consequences for the missional church. The reader of this book should supplement this list through the theological and missional insights of people like Kwame Bediako, Ruth Padilla DeBorst, Leonardo Boff, Andrea Smith, Samuel Escobar, Brenda Salter McNeil, John Mbiti, Christena Cleveland, Oliver Onwubiko, Rosalee Velloso Ewell, René Padilla, Daisy L. Machado, Peter Phan, Elsa Tamez, Juan Luis Segundo, Mae Elise Cannon, Jon Sobrino, Melba Padilla Maggay, Tite Tiénou, Sandra Maria Van Opstal, Orlando Costas, Soong-Chan Rah, Willie James Jennings, and others.
Michael Goheen's book is an excellent introduction to the biblical foundations for the missional church. A Light to the Nations is on my list as essential reading for a missional understanding of the church. I used to ask my students to lay foundations for a missional theology of the church by reading David Bosch's Transforming Mission and Christopher Wright's The Mission of God and The Mission of God's People. I will now add to that list this new book by Goheen. It is a timely addition to our understanding of a biblical, gospel-centered, missional vision of the church.

Anthony Thomas Stover (born June 1, 1990) is an American professional basketball player.

He competed for two seasons at UCLA before his dismissal from the program. Stover has played in multiple leagues during his pro career, including the NBA D-League.

Early life and career
Stover was born on June 1, 1990, in Pasadena, California to Craig and Rena Stover. His father played basketball collegiately for Pepperdine University and Stover's younger brother, Nick, played for South Alabama. He first attended Renaissance Academy near his hometown, averaging 10.6 points, 6.8 rebounds and 7.4 blocks per game as a junior. Stover then moved to Windward School in Los Angeles, where he played basketball and volleyball. He won the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Division V basketball title as a senior in 2009. In his final season, he earned all-state honors and averaged 14.0 points, 11.0 rebounds and 9.5 blocks per game. Stover left Windward as California's second-best center, as stated by Rivals.com. ESPN rated him the 33rd-best center of his class. He was ranked a four-star recruit by Scout.com and 247Sports.com.

College career
Stover played two years in college for UCLA. He was negatively profiled in a February 2012 Sports Illustrated article, which stated that he partnered with Reeves Nelson to erode team unity as a freshman and did not take practices seriously, often shooting free throws one handed or fading away. As a sophomore, he posted averages of 0.5 points and 1.5 rebounds in 28 games, recording 8.4 minutes per contest. His 1.4 blocks per game were a team high. In August 2012, he was dismissed from the team for failing to meet eligibility requirements. Coach Ben Howland said in a statement. "We are very disappointed that Anthony has not met his academic requirements. We had high expectations for him, and we were looking forward to getting increased contributions from him during this coming season."

WITH Gerard Houllier potentially two games away from the sack, Robert Pires has revealed the rows that are splitting apart the Aston Villa dressing room.
Robert Pires, a legend at Arsenal, has mainly been kept on the Villa bench.
Pires, signed to guide Villa's young players and stabilise a crisis, is already fed up with life at the club. He claims there was a fierce dressing-room row after the midweek home defeat by Sunderland that sent Villa into the Premier League's bottom three for the first time in eight years.
Houllier has lost the backing of his senior players and if he goes out to Sheffield United in the FA Cup today and is beaten at Birmingham City in the league a week tomorrow, he will lose the support of the fans as well.
Owner Randy Lerner, who has vowed to back his man, would then have no alternative but to bow to the pressure and sack Houllier four months after appointing him.
Pires, a legend in his time at Arsenal, wants showdown talks with Houllier and paints a gloomy picture of Villa. He fears they will be relegated if the situation continues, with Houllier having won just three of his 15 league games in charge.
"Relationships between Gerard Houllier and certain players are strained and highly charged," said Pires. "He has brought in a new culture and a different way of working. When you are used to a certain routine and it is changed overnight you struggle to accept it.
"Besides, we are not winning matches and it is complicated for everyone. I arrived at the club in the midst of it all.
"The atmosphere in the dressing room after the Sunderland game was very heated. The fans called for Gerard to go straight away. However, he's been kept in his job, as he clearly has the support of the chairman Randy Lerner.
"But the entire squad needs to rally round very quickly. We have no other option, as we are heading straight for the Championship if we continue as we are doing.
Houllier has had rows with senior players, bringing one of them, defender Richard Dunne, back into the team. But striker John Carew, who Houllier sold to Villa when he was Lyon boss, will not return today.
Houllier denies he has a problem with Carew. "I can tell you there is not a problem," said Houllier.
"John said to me that he did not feel ready to play a while ago because he needed more fitness.
West Brom have made an enquiry about Carew and Houllier is looking to bring in Wayne Bridge from Manchester City as well as Lyon's Jean Makoun, having already taken defender Kyle Walker from Spurs on loan. But Pires, 37, remains in the cold, starting only one match since joining nearly two months ago.
"This is not an easy time for me," he said. "I'm on the bench and I can't help the team as I don't get to play. Houllier does not have confidence in me. I can't understand why not and I'm going to have a talk with him about it.
Villa went out of the FA Cup at Sheffield United six years ago and it helped hasten the end of David O'Leary's time in charge there.
Fans chanted for Houllier to be sacked after the Sunderland loss and 5,000 of them travelling to Bramall Lane today will make another judgment on him.
"The fans don't buy when I say we didn't deserve to lose a particular game," said Houllier. "I understand their frustration, I share their feelings, they are hurt as I am hurt.
"The fans expect their team to win every game. The two coming matches are probably more important for them and for us because of the situation we're in.
"The FA Cup is not a distraction. It brings different emotions. It's a good opportunity to have something positive happen.
"But some players keep leaking out stories, which is not good. The most important thing is that we have to keep working hard at what we are doing.


Question: When approaching a fishing area by boat to begin fishing, what are the best ways to approach in order to not disturb the target fish?
Answer: It really depends on water depth for me. If the area I plan to fish is deeper than 20 feet I don't worry about it much and will come off plane about 50 yards from the area and simply idle up. For shallower fish, say 10ft or so I like to shut my motor off about 50 yards from the area. For very shallow fish I will take it to the extreme alot of times. I like my trolling motor on the lowest setting I can use and still effectively fish. I will also turn off all sonar. It is also important to be consistent with the trolling motor. What I mean by this is that you don't want to constantly be on and off. Try to move through the area in a nice smooth way.

About One-Quarter of Seniors Store Firearms Unlocked, Loaded
No difference seen in prevalence of mental distress, memory loss by household firearm ownership, storage
WEDNESDAY, April 17, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- The prevalence of mental health or memory loss indicators does not vary by household firearm ownership or storage practices among older adults, according to a research letter published online April 16 in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
Erin R. Morgan, from the University of Washington in Seattle, and colleagues characterized adults aged ≥65 years residing in firearm-owning households and their firearm storage practices with respect to sociodemographic features, suicide risk factors, and memory loss.
The researchers found that 38.6 percent of 4,428 respondents to the Washington State Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System reported a firearm in the home. Overall, 32.5 and 23.5 percent of firearm-owning households reported storing all firearms locked and unloaded and stored at least one firearm unlocked and loaded, respectively. Respondents who reported unlocked and loaded storage versus safer storage were more likely to be male, be a veteran, and reside in a rural area. The prevalence rates of diagnosed depression and frequent mental distress were 17.4 and 6.9 percent, respectively; 12.2 percent of respondents reported memory loss in the previous year. No meaningful variation was found in the prevalence of these conditions by household firearm ownership or in the prevalence of suicide risk factors by storage practice among those in firearm-owning households.
"Given the association between firearm ownership and suicide, limiting access to lethal weapons for the older adult population represents an important avenue for suicide prevention," the authors write.

Zahid's lawyer shows cheque butts for alleged 'political donation to DPM', 'charity'
Ida Lim
Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi is pictured at the Kuala Lumpur High Court December 12, 2019. — Pictures by Ahmad Zamzahuri
KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 12 — Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's lawyer showed in court today photocopies of the cheque butt that recorded the alleged purposes of a RM1 million cheque as a political donation to the deputy prime minister.
He also showed two others for a combined RM1 million that were recorded as for "charity".
Zahid's lawyer Hisyam Teh Poh Teik was questioning Maybank officer Harryade Mohamad Arbe over three cheques issued in 2017 and 2018 by the company Profound Radiance Sdn Bhd to the law firm Lewis & Co.
In this trial where Zahid is facing 47 charges including bribery, Profound Radiance was previously named as the company whose director Azlan Shah Jaffril allegedly gave RM2 million in three cheques as bribes to Zahid.
The money is alleged to have travelled through Lewis & Co's bank account to Zahid, in return for his using his position then as the home minister to appoint the company as the operator of one-stop centres for migrant workers in Pakistan and Nepal.
Harryade, who is assistant manager of Maybank's Dataran Maybank branch, confirmed that Profound Radiance had a current account with the bank.
Harryade confirmed that Profound Radiance had via a cheque dated July 31, 2017 for RM300,000 and a cheque dated February 9, 2018 for RM700,000 made payments to Lewis & Co, and that these two cheques showed the money going into the law firm's client account.
Such accounts are typically used to hold money belonging to a firm's clients in trust.
Harryade confirmed that the copies of the cheque butts showed "charity" being written as the purpose for these two cheques, but said he did not know whether these cheques totalling RM1 million were actually for charity purposes.
When suggested by Hisyam that these two cheques were for "Islamic charity payable to Lewis & Co as trustee for Yayasan Akalbudi", Harryade said he did not know.
Harryade also verified the RM1 million cheque dated January 3, 2018 issued by Profound Radiance to Lewis & Co, reading out the copy of the cheque butt as stating "political fund to TPM". (TPM is known to be Bahasa Melayu initial for deputy prime minister, a post which Zahid had held from July 2015 to May 2018).
Hisyam: Although "political fund to TPM", but payable to Lewis & Co?
Harryade: Yes, agree.
Hisyam: I say these three transactions are for charity for the first two cheques and another for political donation, these are outright transactions with no strings attached, agree or not, know or not?
Harryade: Don't know.
Harryade is the 26th prosecution witness testifying against Zahid, with today being the 12th day of trial.
Earlier, Hisyam had quizzed three other bank officials from Maybank, Public Bank and RHB Islamic Bank regarding a total of 26 other cheques made out to Lewis & Co from the bank accounts of several companies, with the three officials all confirming that the cheques had "Lewis & Co client account" written at the back of the cheques.
Maybank assistant branch manager Hasnizailawaty Sudin, who is the 25th prosecution witness, confirmed that the bank's client Sarana Kencana Sdn Bhd had issued two cheques both dated April 25, 2017 for RM1 million and RM5 million respectively to Lewis & Co.
Public Bank executive officer Rashidah Mohd Rahim, who is the 23rd prosecution witness, confirmed that the company Jogabonito Jewellery and Diamonds had issued a cheque from its account with the bank, with the cheque dated June 27, 2016 for RM250,000.
RHB Islamic Bank executive officer Faiz Azfar Mohamad Azahar, who is the 24th prosecution witness, verified a total of 23 cheques issued by two companies who had accounts in the bank.
This included Berani & Jujur Trading which had issued 10 cheques all dated January 3, 2017 and each for the amount of RM500,000, which comes up to a total of RM5 million.
The remaining cheques totalling RM8 million were by Mastoro Kenny IT Consultant & Services, which had issued seven cheques (three cheques all dated November 23, 2016 at RM1 million each, four cheques all dated November 30, 2016 at RM500,000) and also six cheques all dated January 5, 2017 at RM500,000 each.
Zahid was previously charged with taking bribes from all these companies that were named via Lewis & Co.
Hisyam asked all these bank officials similar questions of whether they could dispute that all these cheques were given to Lewis & Co as the purported trustee for Yayasan Akalbudi and that the funds were all meant to be for an Islamic charity for Yayasan Akalbudi.
But all bankers agreed that they could not dispute such suggestions as they did not know what the funds were meant for.
Hisyam also asked if these funds could be considered open transactions as they were openly paid to the law firm, and as such amounts could be traced and would be recorded in the law firm's books that could be inspected by auditors.
The bankers agreed that these could be considered open transactions, with some of them basing this on their understanding that law firms' accounts are typically audited annually.
The trial before High Court judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah resumes February 11.
