FEMA grant to help fund $2.7M drainage project
Fernando Del Valle
HARLINGEN — For decades, residents along some of the city's oldest neighborhoods have wallowed along flooded streets during heavy rains.
Since 2008, when Hurricane Dolly flooded much of the region, the city's master plan has called for a multimillion-dollar project to curb flooding in the area along Ninth and 13th Streets.
"We've seen flooding there in the past," Assistant City Manager Carlos Sanchez said yesterday. "It's mostly street flooding."
For nearly five years, officials have been asking the Federal Emergency Management Agency for help in funding the $2.7 million project.
Now, FEMA has awarded the city a $1.1 million grant to boost the size of the area's storm sewer pipes to better drain floodwaters in the area made up of about 325 homes and businesses.
"We kept resubmitting and resubmitting it until it finally went to the top of the list," Sanchez said, referring to the city's grant application.
To help fund the project, city commissioners have set aside $1.6 million out of the city's new $47.6 million general fund budget.
"The city of Harlingen is elated to be the recipient of the FEMA grant," Mayor Chris Boswell stated.
U.S. Senators John Cornyn and Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and U.S. Rep. Filemon Vela, D-Brownsville, helped the city land the grant, city spokeswoman Irma Garza said.
"We are more than grateful to our federal delegation for their support of this funding to meet critical drainage needs for our city," Boswell stated.
The project's scope
As part of the project, crews will replace 7,180 linear feet of undersized storm sewer pipelines with 48- and 72-inch reinforced concrete pipes in the area running from Ninth and 13th streets and Harrison, Tyler and Pierce avenues.
In 2018, a $92,963 FEMA grant helped fund a study that determined the area's storm sewer pipes couldn't handle floodwaters.
"With development, over time those pipes require additional capacity," Sanchez said.
"This project will minimize the amount of flooding," he said. "Part of the project is to increase the size of the pipes and add inlets so water is drained into the Arroyo Colorado more efficiently so it gets out quicker to make all these areas drivable a lot quicker."
At City Hall, City Manager Dan Serna estimated construction on the 10- to 12-month project would begin during the first quarter of the year.
City drainage projects
Meanwhile, officials continue to work on other drainage projects in the areas of Altas Palmas, Beckham Road, Lake Drive, Secluded Acres, Becky Lane and Halpin Road while upgrading the 13th Street drainage ditch, the Dixieland Road drainage ditch and the Jefferson drain ditch.
As a result of the June 24 storm that dumped as much as 15 inches in less than four hours, officials have launched 10 projects aimed at upgrading drainage ditches.
Since they drafted the city's master plan in 2008, officials have undertaken $13.4 million worth of drainage projects.
To fund those projects, they've used $6.49 million in grant money while dipping into the general fund budget or borrowing to come up with the remaining $6.9 million.
From 2012 to 2014, the city used the money to complete drainage projects in the Buchanan, Hays and M Street area, the Jefferson Avenue area and the Third Street area.

Q: Google Geolocation Api to track users Location - COuntry, City, State, Timezone Does google offer geo location ip services like freegeoip, maxmind etc which can offer me the users exact ( need almost accurate like how gooogle offers) location, Country - State - City, Timezone,
Brower used
Mobile or PC

A: Google offers it as service of HTML5 in web browsers. You will need to have users permission to retrieve their geolocation information. The web browser will prompt for permission.

A: If you need the best accuracy for mobile users you should use the navigator geolocation API (see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Geolocation/getCurrentPosition) and enable high accuracy to get the exact GPS position.
A good practice if your app can benefit from a less accurate location instead of no location at all is to fall back to an external IP geolocation API when the user denies location access : https://db-ip.com/api/jsdoc.php#browsergeo

Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. Review
by Sean Smith on May 1, 2015
Platform3DS
DeveloperIntelligent Systems
Reviewed On3DS
May 15, 2015 (EU), March 13, 2015 (USA)
Picture the scene: my editor sends me an email asking me to look at a steam-punk-comic-book-3D-RTS from the same people that delivered one of my favourite games of this or any other decade. Immediately I want to fall in love with it.
The reality is not the Fire Emblem embellished with 19th century scientific romance I immediately pictured, but it is an utterly fascinating title that has far too much good stuff going on to let niggles ruin the experience. It is true to say that it isn't very often that you experience something that manages to delight and confound to such polar extremes as Code Name S.T.E.A.M.
From the start you are presented with a title that is stunning, both aesthetically and conceptually. A booming, utterly hilarious theme tune rings in your ears, as crisp and colourful comic book panels set the scene. You find yourself (in true Steampunk style) transported into an alternate-universe approximation of London, where you take control of a fictionalised version of Henry Fleming from literary classic The Red Badge of Courage.
You are plunged into battle alongside your cohort John Henry – the African-American folk hero here reimagined as a badass, mortar-throwing marine. Aliens are attacking our fair capital, and after an initial sortie, the two heroes are swept up (in an airship, no less) by none other than legendary U.S President Abraham Lincoln. Enrolled in the specialist titular S.T.E.A.M crew by the chin-strapped Republican founder, you become embroiled in a crackpot tale that encompasses a slew of bizzaro takes on characters from classic works of literature, and an horde of ancient Lovecraftian extraterrestrials hell-bent on obtaining the Necronomicon, which grants its owner the ability to wield incredible steam-powered technologies to be used for fair means or foul
It is a rollicking yarn, which instantly draws you in thanks to the magnificent looks and superb voice acting. Lincoln is voiced by Stand By Me child star-turned uber geek icon Wil Wheaton, who seems to positively revel in his role as S.T.E.A.M. head honcho. The geek factor is ramped up with the addition of Michael "Worg" Dorn and Firefly's Adam Baldwin in prominent roles.
Gameplay is a three dimensional real-time strategy affair, which features first person shooting elements during attacks. On a grid based map which features geographical inclines, destructible obstacles, and areas that you can climb up onto or over, you use steam power to move and attack enemies. Everything you do consumes steam – and it all about making best use of it to manoeuvre around your environs, take out foes and make sure you don't leave your soldiers wide open to attack. Conserving steam on a turn will put some (but not all) of your available characters into "Overwatch" mode, which allows your soldier to defend during the enemiy phase of movement. Dotted around the map are handy recharge points that also double up as little hints, allowing you to replenish your steam, and there are also save points that allow you to record your progress mid-battle.
The aim of each map will usually be to reach a specific goal whilst picking off the spidery aliens, but there are also some rescue-style missions and the added bonus of collectible cogs on each stage which allow you to upgrade the weaponry and Steam power for your crew. After meeting and joining up with new S.T.E.A.M. members you eventually enter each battle with four heroes, each with a main and sub weapon, and a dazzling variety of attributes to play around with. The Cowardly Lion is anything but and can employ a long rang leap attack to pounce on his targets. His buddy the Tin Man can handily share his Steam with colleagues, whilst Tom Sawyer packs a devastating punch that can stun and knock enemies away.
Using an over-the-shoulder view, controls are tight when concerning movement, especially when it comes to employing the second analogue stick. You will rarely need to use the touchscreen during missions. The problems with Code Name S.T.E.A.M. manifest themselves in the odd design choices and the way the enemy turns are handled. Unlike most RTS titles, there is no map to view, which means you can only view your environments from the perspective of your characters. This is a very frustrating omission which can make finding the end of level goal (or anything for that matter) extremely difficult. The aiming reticule when attacking with guns, crossbows and the like can be frustratingly glitchy and inconsistent – often you can hover over an enemy and it will recognise you have a good shot, only for your attack to miss due to the ordnance striking some unseen scenery or completely missing as the crosshair had moved slightly.
Enemies continue to respawn and can be very difficult to kill and defend from when they appear in large numbers. This means that successfully negotiating the maps to hoover up all of the collectables can be an overly challenging chore.
Worst of all is the fact that once you have taken your turn, the enemy movement takes place without you being able to see what they are doing, in an arduous, lengthy, unskippable mess which slows the pace of the missions down to a horrible wade through treacle. In fairness, a downloadable patch allows you to fast-forward this phase – on an old-school 3DS you can expect double-time enemy movements, with the New 3DS enabling you to whizz through at three times the speed of normal. But while the waiting times are quicker, the lack of visual intelligence means that you are still unable to track the Cthulhu-spawn, in a move that renders every stage a Fog of War style situation. Sure, you can see your S.T.E.A.M-mates getting smashed up by attacking nasties when they get in range, but in a lot of cases, especially on larger maps with multiple aliens, the enemy turn is still probably the weakest part of the experience.
Despite the flaws, this remains an oddly thrilling experience at times, and one which does make you wish to persevere through the cel-shaded Silver-Age comics romp that underpins the sometimes-misfiring action. There is so much to love. A terrific, quick-fire multiplayer mode will give extra playability after the main campaign is dusted. The art style is so striking, the opening theme tune perhaps the jolliest, most kick-ass I have tapped a toe to since the legendary Dragon's Dogma rock extravaganza. This is a highly entertaining new IP for Nintendo who should look to improve on its premise and the best and most satisfying moments for a sequel. Until then, enjoy and appreciate all that is good about this unique romp.

Buzz around The Fantastic Four reboot has not been good from day one. Apart from questioning the decision to reboot a heavily criticised superhero film in the first place, fans also did not take lightly to the casting choice of Michael B. Jordon for Johnny Storm/The Human Torch.
Changing the race of a beloved comic book character was quite a bold decision by director Josh Trank - who, in his recent interview, tired to ease some concerns that fans seem to have with his upcoming superhero flick.
"People are religious about comics the way people are religious about the Bible," Trank told LA Times. "But I think it's true for a lot of movies that you can take license with adapting the underlying material and you will be forgiven for it if it's good—and you will not be if it's bad."
Fantastic Four reboot will be one of those rare comic book adaptations where the makers have substantially veered away from the source material (the film's plot will reportedly feature a different take on how the Four get their powers). The confident director is also taking complete ownership of all the decisions.
"I made every single choice knowing that people would question it," Trank acknowledged. "And what better reaction than to have people then go see the movie and understand it and feel like maybe they've learned something about the world, to not question the next thing they think is going to be stupid or weird. I think that's my purpose right now in my life."
Fantastic Four opens in theatres on 7 August 2015.


Refers to bad guys after they've pissed off the mob. Also refers to zombies. And tired lawyers. I sense an unpleasant theme there.
After an excessive number of late nights at the office, I've noticed that lawyers get a feral glint in their bloodshot eyes. More physical proof of the Jekyll/Hyde that is a lawyer's personality. Awful rabid predator and … person who hates being an awful rabid predator.
BTW, I haven't slept in a few days. Fair warning.

Having your vehicle worked on today could mean avoiding waiting for a tow truck tomorrow.
The transmission is one of the most important parts of any vehicle. Essentially, a transmission is designed to change the gears in an engine, in order to send power to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward or backward. Manual vehicles are shifted from gear to gear as they gain speed, while automatic vehicles control this process seamlessly, so the driver doesn't have to. Most drivers understand the importance of their vehicle's transmission, but don't always know how it directly affects the rest of the vehicle's operations.
If a transmission is in disrepair, it can lead to very serious issues, such as lost acceleration, problematic shifting, or even a complete failure of the transmission system. These problems can become costly very quickly. In the case of older vehicles, replacing a transmission may cost more than the actual vehicle is worth. Simply put, a full transmission replacement is not a desirable outcome. With a transmission update service from our experienced automotive professionals, you won't have to worry about dealing with this unfortunate scenario. We'll keep your transmission running right, so you can stay on the road and maintain your normal schedule and routine.

Knopp's newest book, Bread: A Memoir of Hunger, is forthcoming from the University of Missouri Press in the fall of 2016.

Knopp embarks on a quest to understand her malady, why it returned when it did, and how to heal herself. In Bread, which is both an illness and a food memoir, she explores the genetic, biological, familial, psychological, spiritual, and cultural forces that cause eating disorders, a psychological illness and a clinical diagnosis, and disordered eating, an abnormal or maladaptive relationship with food, weight, body image, and self.
Knopp's essays have appeared in many of the best publications, including Shenandoah, Gettysburg Review, Michigan Quarterly Review, Missouri Review, Connecticut Review, Creative Nonfiction, Iowa Review, Prairie Schooner, and Northwest Review.

David Nathan Chain
David Nathan Chain participated in Earth First! tree-sitting actions dedicated to saving the old-growth forests of California. Like Julia Hill, his activism enraged corporate interests. It also enraged individual loggers. On September 17, 1998, during a protest, a logger felled a tree in the direction of the protesters. The tree hit and killed David Chain. Although many witnesses claim that the logger had aggressively threatened the protesters prior to cutting down the tree, to this date, he has not been arrested or charged with any crime.
Chain's mother, Cindy Allsbrooks, wrote this memorial to her son:
David Nathan Chain was born in Pasadena, Texas on June 17, 1974. In 1994, David moved to Austin, Texas, to live with his childhood friend Chris Martin, whom David considered his brother.
It was in Austin where David heard about the Earth First! efforts and made a decision to go to California on a strong conviction he could help. He made that trip in 1997 and was gone for approximately three months. David came back to Austin with the intent to save his money and go back. He worked a couple of jobs to save money, and his friends helped him by giving him a place to live while in Austin. He went back to California in early September of this year and was there only a short time before his death.
I feel David's conviction had to do with the beauty he saw on his first trip to California and his desire to preserve the environment. This is what he believed was right. David was always a tender-hearted little boy and young man. He would help anyone. He saw the world as a much bigger place than most of us ever do.
David's father is David Allen Chain. David's stepfather is Ron Allsbrooks. David has two sisters, Sarah Joy Chain and Bridgett Leigh Campbell, whose three children, Jonathan Thomas, Haleigh Elizabeth, and Mathew David, David loved so very much. There are so many people who will miss David and forever hold his memory in their hearts.
<br=clear all> In a letter responding to Chain's death, activist Joe Keating of Portland, Oregon, wrote:
"David Chain is a hero. He joins the ranks of Martin Luther King, Gandhi, and Judi Bari. Let his memory inspire us to victory. Let our howls reverberate in every forest in this land to honor our fallen brother."

Save the Headwaters Forest Campaign
EnviroLink - is a hub for environmental websites.
Look at Environmental Protection Information Center for more information about how to save the last of wild California.
One of the United States' biggest environmental problems right now is loss of wilderness. This problem is due to an expanding human population and the ever-increasing demand for both material resources and physical space. Not only loss of wilderness, but destruction of wildlife habitat results. The over-harvesting of forests, which are dependent upon a combination of new and old-growth trees, is a prime example of wholesale habitat destruction. What are we going to to do about this?
Earth First! is a group of environmental activists who work--often at great personal cost--to save the natural world from human depredation. The following story involves an Earth First!er's efforts to protect the Headwaters Forest in Northern California.
In 1984, the MAXXAM corporation bought Pacific Lumber (PL), a logging company. Since that time, Earth First! alleges that PL has been overcutting the forest, and that this activity caused a mudslide which destroyed seven homes in the nearby town of Stafford, and wiped out thousands of acres of irreplaceable old-growth trees.

Generate more B2B leads, improve your pipeline velocity and close more customers.
But despite having incorporated the use of the Internet in such a natural way to your daily work, it is possible that your company is not taking advantage of digital marketing or even have a website.
This is a relatively common phenomenon among B2B companies and, if it is your case, you should know that you are falling behind and you are missing out on great business opportunities. If you are still not convinced of implementing it, we explain how digital marketing can help B2B companies.
Brand loyalty is mainly achieved through the process of accompaniment and communication carried out by your company in the shopping cycle, and that occurs through your website, social networks, your blog and video channels.
If your website is attractive and offers complete information, provide online support, create quality content and send emails at the right time, you will be able to provide a positive experience to your customers. And when you get satisfied customers, you also build more lasting relationships.
But having a presence on the Internet by itself is not enough, and it is important to project an image that is perceived positively by users and distinguishes your brand from the competition.
You should also offer clear and truthful information about the company, as well as detailed information about your products or services, including FAQ section or frequently asked questions and answering the specific questions of the users there.
Maintaining a right image of the brand also implies generating quality content. Like branding, building a brand image in digital media means saving time and resources.
The digital presence facilitates the process to obtain feedback from your clients through comments on your website and social networks, or through satisfaction surveys sent by email.
Designing a winning B2B marketing strategy is a need that, although you must address promptly, will represent an enriching experience as you see the results and that, without a doubt, will bring extraordinary benefits for your company.
Saving money: if you design your strategy correctly, taking into account the needs and preferences of your customers, as well as the latest market trends, you will generate higher income through your sales and will decrease many expenses related to traditional marketing.
Saving time: if you apply a digital marketing strategy, you can make a continuous and real-time follow-up on the results you are getting, being able to make immediate decisions that guarantee the fulfillment of the corporate objectives.
Personalization: it is a challenge to create an emotional bond with your clients when it comes to relationships between companies.
Relationships are usually too formal, and there is little interaction. B2B marketing strategies achieve greater closeness with the owners of other organizations, thanks to the possibilities offered by the web 2.0 (social web).
A broader reach: the reach becomes much broader when taking into account the digital channels: social networks, web pages, and email marketing.
You have at your disposal a variety of tools that you can combine and adapt to offer your products and services in an innovative way and the digital media used by your potential customers.
However, to enjoy all these advantages, it is necessary to define the strategies that you will implement carefully. For this, it is utterly fundamental that you establish objectives, both quantitative and qualitative, that are measurable and achievable in a given time.
Content marketing has become a sales strategy that has generated excellent results, due to its approach to attracting potential customers, through information and quality content that helps them solve their problems, taking the opportunity to show them your products or services, following precisely the different stages of purchase in which they are.
There are many examples of content marketing designed for B2B companies; the key is to tailor the content to your company and according to the needs of your customers; therefore it is necessary to know them in detail.
Social networks have achieved a remarkable global reach, and have become a powerful tool in the hands of companies to attract customers, thanks, in part, to the possibility of interacting with them directly.
It is crucial that you incorporate these channels into your strategic digital marketing plan, using the right social network. In this sense, LinkedIn has become one of the favorites for B2B companies, without leaving aside the benefits of Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, among others.
Define what your B2B digital strategy will be through social networks, always thinking about your target audience. Large B2B companies such as Oracle, IBM, Microsoft, and SAP are taking advantage of these tools to establish a direct and personalized conversation with their clients.
This strategy consists of scheduling actions and preparing automated emails to potential customers, with powerful messages that invite them to purchase and generate the feeling that you are focusing on them in a personalized way.
Email marketing is widely used by B2B companies, since they contribute to generating loyalty and web traffic, increasing conversion rates, with a lower cost compared to other digital strategies.
Consumers have changed their way of buying. They no longer go out in search of a product or service without having first consulted and compared its benefits with other brands through the Internet, their quality, comments from other customers, their position in the market and their cost.
Therefore, it is necessary to take care of the design and navigation experience offered by your website. In this context, it is also important to keep in mind that, as mobile technology evolves, consumers increasingly use their computers, taking advantage of the comforts provided by their cell phones.
Therefore, the design of your website must contemplate a responsive model, with a comfortable and efficient adaptation to mobile phones.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO): It is a set of actions aimed at increasing the ranking of your web pages organically in the most popular search engines so that your potential customers find it on the first page of search results.
Paid Search: you can also bid to show ads in search engines when your potential buyer types keywords that are related to your website, products or services. Google Adwords, for example, offers several kinds of campaigns that can be adapted to what your company needs.
The purpose of influencers is usually associated with B2C digital marketing campaigns. However, if you select the ideal person that can refer to your brand, that has an audience according to your target and shares the values of your company, you can take advantage of its authority, authenticity, and scope to generate awareness and spread information about your offering.
Every company must learn how to generate demand using digital marketing strategies. This process includes raising attention in Social Media, a suitable level of investment in every digital channel available, as well as a solid paid advertising strategy. So, pay close attention to this section to get the best out of your time and resources.
Before selling anything, you need to understand who are your target clients. Thus, building Buyer Personas will define the course of action for your brand, so you need to include as many features as possible, such as age, income level, main interests and also their buying habits and the technologies and media they are interested. When it comes to B2B customers, it is also vital to address them in the language of their industry.
This process will help you to create functional models to start an effective marketing strategy. Making it more accessible, put yourself in your customer's shoes and answer a few questions: What am I looking for? How much am I willing to spend to get the high-quality products I need for my company?
Your B2B clients are efficient. So, don't make them waste time and bring them the kind of content they're looking for. This includes articles about the great experiences other companies have had by using your products and all kind of tips and advice.
The content in your blog doesn't necessarily imply a direct commercial transaction. Nevertheless, you need to lead those customers to your eCommerce platform in a subtle way. This is where SEO techniques enter the scene: keywords, relevant pictures, and hyperlinks are significant to raise interest and generate the demand you are looking for.
For example, your brand will start a new campaign to attract companies looking for great-capacity air conditioner systems. Your articles in your blog can tell a little about the features of such products and the way they promote a cleaner environment. On the other hand, the videos and pictures you will include must redirect each customer to another landing page where they can find out more about your offer. Also, remember to include a Call to Action button, whenever it suits your content.
Whether they are Facebook, Twitter, YouTube or Instagram, keep this data on hand, as it will indicate the level of investment you will run in each one of them.
Maybe the data will show that 80% of those executive leads prefer smartphones, but could also surprisingly show that 50% of them still favors desktop computers. Be as it may, you will take this into account to map your advertising strategy.
From using proper techniques in Video Marketing campaigns to delivering useful content through the Buyer's Journey, remember that Inbound Marketing is the key to get and keep great customers. Use Social Media to share and promote high-quality educational content created to satisfy your customer's most urgent needs.
So you succeeded in your B2B Marketing efforts and got the demand you were expecting for. Once you have your new clients, you must nurture them in the right way, as this will guarantee their loyalty for an undetermined lapse of time. Turn to Email Marketing for this purpose, as this technique will help you to build enduring relationships with every one of those users, even when the buying process is over.
The process to generate demand in B2B strategies will force to leave your comfort zone to start a multichannel plan. Give yourself the time to study all these tips so that you can give every step with absolute confidence. Remember: great content, a flawless paid advertising program and proper attention during and after the buying process, will get you the best results possible.
Within the broad world of marketing, there are various practices and strategy types you can use to reach potential customers and increase your sales. Here are some specifications and strategies that will help you to win customers and increase your sales in this area.
When it comes to marketing, there are several ideal strategies and methods to approach it depending on the business type.
Account Based Marketing (ABM), also known as key account marketing, has been proven to be successful in the case of Business-to-Business (B2B) companies, as it helps develop an approach explicitly based on goals for target accounts.
This way, ABM provides a method for businesses to communicate prospects or markets individually. Instead of a one-to-many methodology, ABM aims to be a tailored, one-to-one solution to make sure the goals are reached with each one of these partners.
Historically, this approach has been mostly used in enterprise-level companies with employee numbers in the thousands, but the benefits of its features can surely be of help to all types of businesses in this area.
- Situation Analysis: Do your research to define the best accounts to set as targets.
- Target structuring: Define who are the decision makers in each account.
- Content: Customize your marketing messages to fit their interests.
- Strategic plan: Define which communication channels will be used.
- Campaign: Spread the message to the selected targets.
- Measurement: Analysis and study of the results to optimize the following actions.
Integrating account-based marketing strategies is easy if you take it in the same way as the personalized treatment you give to B2C customers. You have to personalize and take care of each one with detail and attention, so you'll develop a good relationship with them.
- Better use of resources: A typical marketing strategy usually requires attention from many sides. Using Account Based Marketing allows streamlining any efforts and resources into the most important clients (accounts) to assure an optimal level of revenue.
Setting such a defined focus allows optimizing your teams, hence saving your company time and money. And not only that, as it also helps improve communication and collaboration between sales and marketing departments, keeping them in sync with your company's most important objectives.
- No dead-ends: Using Account Based Marketing, marketers for B2B companies can dedicate most of the time to the already prioritized accounts or prospects. Correctly setting their targets will mean they won't be wasting time and energy on lost efforts but defining the most valuable -and viable- ones, creating a more streamlined strategy and a more explicit approach.
- The synergy between Sales and Marketing deepens: Even though it's not much of a problem to have sales and marketing departments working individually, there are many benefits to improving their communication and collaboration to keep them at the same pace, and on the same tracks.
Using Account Based Marketing requires your company to make this work, as it needs them to work together to identify target clients, developing and monitoring the success of a campaign. ABM is better for B2B companies because it helps them focus on their goals with all resources available, at the same time.
- Precise Tracking: As it's the case with any other marketing strategy, not only development is necessary, but also a strong capability to track its results. Using Account Based Marketing allows you to quickly identify every component in your strategy, thus enabling you to monitor its performance with more accuracy than other approaches, especially in the case of B2B companies.
- Continuous Optimization: Never underestimate the importance of your tracking data, as it gives valuable insights on your targets. With the help of latest-generation tracking tools to keep you well set on your goals, it is possible to tweak every step of your strategy or even building it from scratch depending on the results that come along the way.
- Increase in revenue: According to recent studies, 80 percent of marketers say that ABM outperforms all other channels when it comes to ROI. It has even more significant benefits when looking at the long-term picture since when used for at least a year, 60 percent of users reported an increase in the ranges of 10 to 19 percent and an overall impact of at least 30 percent.
As you can see, developing an Account Based Marketing strategy is possibly the best option when marketing to B2B prospects, thanks to its immense potential of setting precise targets and tracking capabilities that will surely help reach your business goals.

Q: How to implement the same claim for different departments I am building a webapp that uses windows authentication and supplements it with roles and claims from a local DB. I am planning to use a JWT to store this information once the user is authenticated.
Our organization has different departments and I am wondering how I could go about implementing roles/claims in this case.
For example:
Bob is an admin for both department A and B.
In Bob's principle, how could I add claims that reflect this. I.E.
bob.claims = new claim[] {

    new claim() { department = "A", role = Roles.Admin },
    new claim() { department = "B", role = Roles.Admin }
}

Then I could do something like:
[Authorize(IsInDepartmentRole(Department: "A", Role: Roles.Admin)]

Keep in mind this is all pseudo-code.
I realize storing this info in a JWT might not work out, so I am willing to move to an in memory cache (or similar).
How can I accomplish this?

A: You can add this information as claims, but since a claim consists of a type-value, the approach in the pseudo code will not work.
There are some options, but I would suggest the following:
new Claim { Type = "DepartmentRole", Value = "A;Admin" }

In any case, keep the type a constant. The value can be split into A and Admin, corresponding to department and role. You can add multiple claims of the same type.
Now you can define a policy:
services.AddAuthorization(options =>
{
    options.AddPolicy("AdminOfDeptA", policy =>
                                      policy.RequireClaim("DepartmentRole", "A;Admin"));
}

The authorize attribute only allows strings as parameter, so again your pseudocode won't work. But you can now use this, where AdminOfDeptA is the configured policy:
[Authorize("AdminOfDeptA")]

If you don't want to define all combinations, you may want to take a look at resource-based authorization.

The goal of stent retriever–based thrombectomy is removal of embolic clots in patients with intracranial large artery occlusion. However, outcomes of stent retrieval may differ between acute arterial occlusions due to intracranial atherosclerotic disease (IAD) and those due to embolism. This case series describes the outcomes of stent retriever–based thrombectomy and rescue treatments in 9 patients with IAD-related occlusion.
Among patients who underwent endovascular treatment for acute intracranial large artery occlusion, those in whom stent retrieval was attempted as first-line treatment were included in this review. IAD was defined as significant fixed focal stenosis at the occlusion site, which was evident on final angiographic assessment or observed during endovascular treatment.
Median number of stent retriever passes was 2 (range, 1-3), and temporary bypass was seen in all patients. Immediate partial recanalization (arterial occlusive lesion grade 2-3) was observed in 7 patients. Immediate modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction grade 2b-3 was seen in 6 patients, but the lesions often required rescue treatment due to reocclusion or flow insufficiency. In terms of rescue treatments, angioplasty and intra-arterial tirofiban infusion seemed to be effective.
Our findings suggest that stent retrieval can effectively remove thrombi from stenotic lesions and achieve partial recanalization despite the tendency toward reocclusion in most patients with IAD-related occlusion. Further research into the use of rescue treatments, such as tirofiban infusion and angioplasty, is warranted.
Intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) infusion was the first approved treatment for acute ischemic stroke [1,2]. However, this treatment has limited efficacy in patients with intracranial large artery occlusion, and only a subset of patients experience recanalization . In patients with underlying intracranial atherosclerotic disease (IAD), stenotic lesions tend to reocclude despite recanalization by intravenous rtPA . Notably, IAD is more common in Asian populations than in Western populations .
Recently, randomized controlled studies of endovascular treatments for acute ischemic stroke due to intracranial large artery occlusion have demonstrated improved efficacy [6-10]. One important factor in their success is the use of stent retrievers to remove clots. Stent retrievers were designed for thrombus, which can incorporate into the inner space of the stent. In situ thrombosis may occur when intracranial large artery occlusion is associated with IAD , but it has not been evaluated whether such occlusions can be removed via stent retrieval. Additionally, the underlying stenosis cannot be solved with stent retrieval and reocclusion can often occur, so other rescue treatments may be required .
There are few reports of emergent thrombectomy using stent retrievers in patients with acute ischemic stroke and IAD-related occlusion . In the current study, a consecutive case series is presented, with a focus on procedural factors. In addition, several types of rescue treatment are introduced.
Patients who underwent endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke due to intracranial large artery occlusion at a Korean university hospital between July 2013 and May 2015 were screened. Only those who underwent endovascular treatment with the Solitaire flow restoration (FR) revascularization device (Covidien, Irvine, CA, USA) as the first-line method were included. IAD was defined as significant fixed focal stenosis at the occlusion site, which was evident on final angiographic assessment or observed during endovascular treatment. Significant stenosis was defined as (1) degree of fixed stenosis >70%, or (2) any degree of fixed stenosis with either flow and perfusion impairment on angiography or an evident tendency toward reocclusion even after sufficient treatment with stent retrieval. When angioplasty or stent insertion achieved full recanalization of intracranial stenosis, the case was classified as IAD. Patients whose final angiographic assessment showed complete recanalization with arterial occlusive lesion (AOL) grade 3 were excluded from this study because their stroke etiology was proved to involve embolism. Patients with an arterial occlusion etiology of moyamoya disease, dissection, or vasculitis also were excluded. Cases with vessel injury accompanied by an interventional procedure, and those in which the occlusion site was never recanalized because the underlying IAD could not be evaluated also were excluded from this study.
Patient outcome was analyzed according to the immediate effects of stent retrieval as the primary treatment method. Modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction grade was used to evaluate reperfusion status . AOL grade was used to evaluate recanalization status of the occlusion site . Both of the above scales do not always correlate with each other. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score was used to evaluate neurologic severity on admission and at discharge. Modified Rankin Scale score was used to evaluate disability at 3 months. Procedural factors including operation duration, rescue treatment methods, and complications also were recorded.
Among 53 patients who underwent endovascular treatment with the Solitaire FR device as the first-line method, IAD-related occlusion was observed in 9 (8 men, 1 woman; median age, 63 years; range, 57-77 years) (Table 1). Three lesions were observed to affect posterior circulation (2 in the basilar artery [BA] trunk, 1 in the vertebral artery), while the other lesions affected anterior circulation (all in the M1 segment of the middle cerebral artery [MCA]). None of the lesions had any cardioembolic source. Six patients underwent intravenous rtPA infusion prior to endovascular treatment. A stent retriever was the primary device for endovascular treatment, and the Solitaire FR device was applied in all cases. A balloon guide catheter was used concomitantly, which was inflated in all cases with anterior circulation occlusion.
Median number of stent retriever passes was 2 (range, 1-3). Temporary bypass was seen in all patients when the stent retriever was deployed. Following thrombectomy, immediate reperfusion (modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction grade 2b-3) was seen in 7 patients, and immediate partial recanalization (AOL grade 2-3) was seen in 6. On angiography, the thrombi were somewhat removed in all patients; however, most removed clots were very small or not visible in the stent. Table 2 shows the rescue treatment types and methods, while Table 3 shows the procedural and clinical outcomes. Angioplasty was the most commonly used rescue treatment (in 5 patients) (Figure 1), while intra-arterial tirofiban infusion was performed in 2 patients. Two patients did not undergo immediate rescue treatment; however, one patient (patient No. 9) required a second emergent procedure after showing severe neurologic deterioration 5 hours after the first procedure. He underwent angioplasty and tirofiban infusion, which resulted in successful revascularization and improved modified Rankin Scale score.
A 56-year-old man (patient No. 3) presented with left hemispheric syndrome. Baseline magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) shows an acute left internal borderzone infarction on diffusion-weighted imaging, and a large perfusion defect on time-to-peak of perfusion-weighted imaging (A). Initial cerebral angiography shows occlusion of the distal M1 segment of the left middle cerebral artery (B). Temporary blood flow bypass is seen when the Solitaire FR stent is being deployed (C). Although some clots were removed at the occlusion site, occlusion is still seen at a more distal vessel (D). After 3 stent retrieval passes, partial recanalization was achieved, but flow still seems stagnated (E). After 2 angioplasties (F), complete reperfusion was fully achieved (G). Repeat MRI performed on the fifth day of admission shows similar infarct volume and complete recovery of the perfusion defect (H). The patient's modified Rankin Scale score was 1 at 3 months and 0 at 1 year.
Both patients with IAD-related occlusion affecting the BA trunk had very poor outcomes. In both cases, the stenotic lengths were >10 mm. In patient No. 4, the lesion was repeatedly reoccluded despite several stent retrieval trials and partial recanalization after angioplasty. Computed tomography (CT) angiography showed that the BA was reoccluded 5 hours later, and a second emergent procedure was performed. The patient's consciousness level improved, but he still demonstrated locked-in syndrome 3 months after presentation. In patient No. 5, the lesion was repeatedly reoccluded during stent retrieval trials, so successive angioplasty was performed. Despite those efforts, blood flow remained stagnant at the stenotic site. Thus, a Wingspan stent (Stryker, Kalamazoo, MI, USA) was deployed, and poststenting angioplasty was performed. Although the patient's recanalization and reperfusion grades improved, as did his consciousness level, he remained locked-in at 3 months.
In this study, we found that the effectiveness of stent retrievers for treating acute IAD-related occlusion was somewhat limited because of hidden stenosis. Despite this limited effectiveness, in situ thrombi could be removed well, and partial revascularization was achieved in most cases. These findings demonstrate that stent retrieval could work well as the primary endovascular treatment. Furthermore, degree and length of stenosis could be determined upon stent retriever deployment, which was helpful in the planning of subsequent rescue treatments.
The performance of stent retrievers for treating IAD-related occlusion, and even its frequency, has been rarely reported. In this study, we tried to describe the immediate effects of endovascular treatment in 9 patients. The proportion of IAD-related occlusion at our institution appears to be higher than that reported for non-Asian populations. Indeed, one Korean study showed that IAD-related occlusion accounted for 23% of acute ischemic stroke cases and endovascular treatment . In the current study, patients who had acute ischemic stroke due to intracranial large artery occlusion underwent endovascular treatment, and IAD-related occlusion was confirmed by transfemoral cerebral angiography in 17% of the cohort. As a comparison, in a French study, just 5.5% of patients treated with stent retrieval showed intracranial stenosis . Nevertheless, the findings regarding frequency should be interpreted with caution because these studies were not performed with prospective enrollment criteria. In addition, the definition of IAD might differ somewhat among studies.
IAD-related occlusion may result from in situ thrombosis in a stenotic lesion. When an inflammatory response occurs in unstable atherosclerotic plaque, platelets aggregate into a thrombus and ultimately occlude the vessel . Considering this, stent retriever–based thrombectomy is an appropriate treatment choice, and its effectiveness has been demonstrated in the present series. Temporary bypass or partial recanalization generally was achieved with the first pass. All patients showed angiographic evidence of thrombus reduction or partial recanalization. Thus, the stent retriever was shown to be effective for thrombus removal, though the retrieved thrombi were generally small. On the other hand, an early bypass effect is important to improve patient outcomes because blood supply can be restored more rapidly to the ischemic brain . Therefore, stent retrievers could be considered as a primary treatment option for patients with IAD-related occlusion who require emergent endovascular treatment.
Stent retrievers are also useful for planning rescue treatments (e.g., angioplasty or additional stenting) because IAD-related occlusions tend to reocclude. When a stent retriever is deployed and bypass flow is observed, interventionalists can measure the stenotic length and determine the curvature of the vessel. Different rescue treatments were not tested in the current study.
Angioplasty was effective in the distal MCA and intracranial vertebral arteries. Intracranial stenting, however, was not performed routinely due to concerns of hemorrhagic transformation, which cannot be treated with antithrombotics. In addition, angioplasty with or without stenting should be decided with caution when performed on a stenotic vessel near its branching small arteries. In one patient who had severe BA trunk occlusion, angioplasty was performed and a Wingspan stent was deployed following repeat stent retriever–based thrombectomy. The artery achieved complete recanalization and was patent on follow-up CT angiography. Unfortunately, although the patient's level of consciousness recovered, he remained in a locked-in state due to a diffuse pontine lesion. If perforators exist near the stenotic lesion (e.g., anterior inferior cerebellar arteries in the BA trunk or striatocapsular arteries in the MCA trunk), angioplasty and intracranial stenting should be performed carefully, because ischemic complications have been reported to occur more often in the BA, according to a previous study regarding intracranial stenting for intracranial stenosis .
The effect of intra-arterial tirofiban infusion in this study is consistent with that reported in a previous study , and it did not cause unwanted hemorrhagic complications even on the basis of intravenous full-dose rtPA in our series. Presence of stenosis itself is not a casual factor for stroke, but inflammation and platelet aggregation can lead to an ischemic event . Tirofiban is a GPIIb/IIIa antagonist with a short half-life, so its effect is rapid. In some of our patients, tirofiban could stabilize the inflamed stenotic lesion and maintain blood flow, even without further recanalization procedures, such as angioplasty. Despite our results, randomized multicenter trials are necessary to determine the optimal rescue treatments following stent retriever–based thrombectomy.
This study has some limitations. First, it was a retrospective study performed at one hospital. In addition to the rare disease entity, the small cohort requires caution when interpreting the results. Nevertheless, this is the first study to describe the performance of stent retriever–based thrombectomy for intracranial large artery occlusion due to IAD. Another limitation is the possibility of selection error. For example, we excluded patients whose vessels were never recanalized. Since IAD may be hidden in those cases, the recanalization power might have been overestimated. Consequently, we plan to perform a further prospective multicenter study.
IAD-related occlusion was observed in 17% of patients who underwent stent retriever–based thrombectomy. This method successfully removed in situ thrombi and helped achieve immediate partial recanalization in most cases. While several types of rescue treatment are possible after stent retrieval, further multicenter trials are needed to identify the optimal methods.

USA Has Made a Move That Will Make Putin Depressed! Putin Is Desperate
Vladimir Putin and his girlfriend got into a fight! Allegations that she had an argument with her lover are not off the agenda in Moscow. Due to the invading attacks launched by Russia on Ukraine, the United States continues to impose sanctions on Russia on an ongoing basis. Finally, in the sanctions package they announced, when the sanctions that included Vladimir Putin's secret lover came into play, Vladimir Putin and his lover Decimated! Alina Kabaev, the lover of Russian President Dictator Vladimir Putin, had all her assets in the United States frozen.
Kabaev, who received the news of this, argued with Vladimir Putin and blamed him for this! This news, which fell like a bomb on the Russian media and tabloids, stirred up the situation. Kabaev, who met with Russian President Vladimir Putin, this morning officially took root in the Russian leader and vented all his resentment on him. Kabaev, whose assets have been confiscated by the United States and he has no right to take any action, is very angry and very upset.

Fresh North Carolina blueberries and bubbly champagne make for a bright, zesty cocktail perfect for summer evenings.
If homemade blueberry lemonade sounds good, then spiked blueberry lemonade punch sounds even better. This patio-party cocktail begins with homemade blueberry syrup and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Ginger ale adds a fun fizz to the lemonade before vodka and champagne team up to make this the perfect backyard sipper. Add moonlight, lighting bugs, and maybe a few Tiki torches, and enjoy!
You'll want to make sure that all of your ingredients are cold before you begin; this recipe tastes best when everything is well-chilled. To take your presentation to the next level, use lemon juice and sugar to garnish the rims of your serving glasses. Superfine sugar or granulated sugar pulsed through a food processor work best. The delicate grains look pretty, but they're also critical to creating the perfect sip.
Looking for a shortcut? This cocktail tastes delicious with store-bought blueberry lemonade, too. Just substitute 2 ½ cups of your store-bought version for the homemade version below.
Serving kids? Feel free to make this punch without the vodka and champagne for a pretty "mocktail" that kids can enjoy.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, mix 1/2 cup water, blueberries, and sugar. Bring mixture to a boil and wait for berries burst, about 10 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher. Add lemon juice and remaining 2 cups water. Chill until cold.
Add vodka to pitcher. Just before serving, stir in ginger ale and frozen blueberries. Run lemon slice along rim of each serving glass. Coat rim with dip with superfine sugar, tapping gently to discard the excess. Fill each glass with equal parts spiked blueberry lemonade and champagne.

The potential for turning James Joyce's 'House of the Dead' on Ushers island in Dublin into a youth hostel has prompted fears from the arts community here and has now begun to spread internationally.
Yesterday's Observer in London had a major feature looking at the wider issue of Dublin's rush to turn historic and culturally significant locations into tourism stop gaps to house the people who ironically come to soak up that very cultural infrastructure.
They quoted novelist Paula McGrath who said last week that 'These endless hostels and hotels are symptoms of a whiskey and leprechaun version of Ireland which ignores climate change and the need to appeal to locals as well as those arriving shamrock-eyed via long haul flights."
The house in question at 15 Ushers Island was sold out of receivership in 2017 at a price of just over €500,000.
Because it was merely owned by relatives of Joyce and believed to be an inspiration for 'The Dead' short story in Dubliners, it was not deemed at the time to be significant enough for the state to buy and renovate.
Now at a time of homelessness planning permission is being sought to turn it into a hostel. If that is for social purposes then it is hard to argue against. The impression from the arts community though is that it is merely to create more bed spaces for tourists.
Dublin City Council recognises the challenge it faces. Councillors recently voted on a motion to halt new hotel development to prevent the increasing erosion of cultural life and space.
Whether that actually filters through to a halt on hotels with which the capital remains poorly served is open to question.
But at least the debate is being held, even if it does come into sharpest focus when people from outside our own bubble start to talk about it. Joyce himself would have appreciated that.
Here is the article.

Background Childhood mortality is a well-known public health issue, particularly in the low and middle income countries. The overarching aim of this study was to examine whether neighbourhood socioeconomic disadvantage is associated with childhood mortality beyond individual-level measures of socioeconomic status in Nigeria.
Methods Multilevel logistic regression models were applied to data on 31 482 under-five children whether alive or dead (level 1) nested within 896 neighbourhoods (level 2) from the 37 states in Nigeria (level 3) using the most recent 2013 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (DHS).
Results More than 1 of every 10 children studied had died before reaching the age of 5 years (130/1000 live births). The following factors independently increased the odds of childhood mortality: male sex, mother's age at 15–24 years, uneducated mother or low maternal education attainment, decreasing household wealth index at individual level (level 1), residing in rural area and neighbourhoods with high poverty rate at level 2. There were significant neighbourhoods and states clustering in childhood mortality in Nigeria.
Conclusions The study provides evidence that individual-level and neighbourhood-level socioeconomic conditions are important correlates of childhood mortality in Nigeria. The findings of this study also highlight the need to implement public health prevention strategies at the individual level, as well as at the area/neighbourhood level. These strategies include the establishment of an effective publicly funded healthcare system, as well as health education and poverty alleviation programmes.

Болеадорас, бола́с, бола́ (, застаріла назва «болас») — у Аргентині та Чилі різновид ласо (аркана з кам'яними кульками на кінцях, який використовували під час полювання або ловів мисливці — болеадори.

Метальна зброя, яка складається з ременя або декількох ременів, до кінців яких прив'язані кам'яні кульки (0.15-0.2 кг), обтягнуті шкірою, костяні вантажки тощо.

Болас вперше побачили у бразильських індіанців. Це оригінальний розвиток ідеї метального каменя, який широко розповсюдився на планеті 20 тис. років тому, але до сьогодні майже ніде не зберігся. Індіанці використовували болеадорас для полювання на гуанако. Подібну зброю використовували також чукчі і коряки Північно-Східного Сибіру (для полювання на птахів), а також північноамериканські інуїти (ескімоси).

Болас не стільки вражають тварину, скільки захоплюють, заважаючи втікати, спутуючи ноги; ними можна звалити навіть коня. Дальність кидка близько 20 м.

Крім того, болас можуть бути використані у ближньому бою — саме у такій якості болас використовували мешканці Соломонових островів.

Зв'язавши між собою кульки картечі можна створювати особливі набої для рушниці.
