Inbound marketing is about creating value for your clients through content that is both helpful and relevant. Instead of being an outright sales pitch, it is information that your client will want to read. It helps you to build trust and credibility with your client instead of being an outright punt.
So, instead of writing an article about your product, you write about something that your target market would want to read about. Say, for example, you are in the fashion industry. Instead of writing an article about your new fall line, you would write about the top fashion trends for fall.
It is about putting the client first and thinking about what they need, rather than focusing on trying to sell to them. It is a more effective strategy because it allows you to show off your expertise and lets you improve brand awareness.
Whereas people are likely to tune out a straight marketing message, they are not likely to tune out this kind of message. This leads them to seek out your business. Inbound marketing vs. outbound marketing is all about giving the client more choice.
Why Is Inbound Marketing So Important In 2018?
Everyone is being bombarded by sales messages. Your clients open up a video on Facebook, and halfway through an ad starts playing. They click on a link to an article and have to scroll through a thousand adverts to get to read the whole thing.
Okay, so that is a bit of an exaggeration, it is only going to be two or three ads, but you get the idea. Ads are everywhere, and there are many that are invasive. So, it is natural for consumers to want to block them out.
The simple fact is that adverts have become a real nuisance in our lives. And, let's be honest, most people don't even bother with them. Everyone says that they have the best product, etc. so there really is little incentive for consumers to read ads or even take them seriously.
Inbound marketing, on the other hand, is far more effective because it provides useful information, no sales message attached.
Inbound marketing is a way of cutting through all the noise out there. If you provide valuable content, people will not only want to read/ watch it; they will want to share it as well. People like looking good in front of their social circle. Great content allows them to do this.
That means more organic traffic without really trying that hard. People will view the content as a reflection of your company's professionalism and your commitment to customer service. By providing top quality content, you are helping to boost your company's profile.
You are doing the person a favor. They might very well want to reciprocate by supporting your business. That could mean purchasing, or it could mean getting the word out about your brand. Either way, it's a big win.
Content marketing is bound to be a big part of an inbound marketing strategy. This is where you create content that people will consume. It can take various forms – blog posts, articles in industry magazines, videos, podcasts, etc.
The key to content marketing is to create interesting and polished content. Choose a medium that your target market is most likely to respond to. It is effective because people choose to consume the content. This is not an ad blasted at them.
Search engine optimization is just another one of the many inbound marketing tools that we have at our disposal. With SEO, you are optimizing the content on your website and blog so that it ranks more highly in search results.
One of the ways of doing this is by making sure that the content is flawless. The benefit of getting SEO right is that people will be seeking your company out. Again, you are not blasting an advertising message at them.
Social media is all about building the relationship with your prospects and so can be a valuable inbound marketing tool. Again, it is the consumer making the decisions here. They can choose to follow your page, or not.
That is why it is essential to use this more as an opportunity to get clients to interact with your page rather than always trying to sell them something. The power of social media should not be underestimated.
When someone likes, shares, or comments on your post on Facebook, everyone in their circle is going to see it. The more popular a post becomes, the more valuable Facebook will deem it to be, and the more exposure it will get.
Social media is an important part of your inbound marketing strategy because it is a lot more interactive and versatile. You can post links to your content, post a quick shout-out, ask questions, etc.
There are a lot of ways to get started. That can be both a good thing and a bad thing for businesses. You could, for example, try marketing with Hubspot. This will give you access to a lot of different tools and some ideas for content.
Want to really knock it out of the park? Give us a call, and we can help you come up with the perfect strategy going forward. Not only that, we can help you manage all aspects of your inbound marketing campaign.
So, you don't have to worry about when to post, or what to post on Facebook, what content to create or even how to manage the SEO on your site. We'll take care of all that so that you can focus on your business and all the new clients that will come your way.

Phillip Freeman,
M.D., D.M.H
A Chronicle of the Efforts of Modern Psychoanalysts to Hold onto Their Dignity while Adapting to the Marketplace.
A compilation of ten monologues in print and on CD.Hans Sachs Archives/Word Association Press, 2007, 91 pages.
What they say about Adaptations
Brilliant and laugh-out-loud funny!
Phillip Freeman's book is …about psychoanalysis, psychoanalytic politics, contemporary culture, and human foibles. Freeman manages to weigh in against the trend to make psychoanalysis more "relevant" to today's culture by pillorying that culture… importing stories and concepts from archeology, neurobiology, and the shtetl to show that the heart and soul of Freud's contribution shouldn't be diluted by pandering to popular trends…he is not only an intellectual, but a stand-up comedian and story-telling humorist--think Robin Williams meets Spaulding Gray... As someone who came from the psychoanalytic tradition, I was delighted, amazed, and ultimately touched by Freeman's passion and wit.
Michael J. BaderAmazon review
"…a literary genre invented by Phillip Freeman, compounded out of the spirit Freud's essays, the most brilliant style of university lecture, the most subtle and savage standup comedy I have ever heard… a marriage of love, wit, great learning and immense intelligence. I know nothing remotely like them. It is a fantastic stroke of luck that they have found their way into print."
Fredric Paul SmolerProfessor of Literature and History, Sarah Lawrence College
"Psychoanalysts tend to take themselves much too seriously… but Phillip Freeman has an antidote…he holds up a fun house mirror…ruthlessly surveying the field, mocking every sacred cow he can find. This he does with deadpan psychotic humor and irresistible charm. Phillip is the Shakespearean fool who illuminates, and thereby ameliorates, the tragedy.
Owen Renik, M.D. San Francisco Psychoanalytic Institute
"We're dwarfed not only by the brilliance of Phillip's writing, but by the theater of his presentation, the uniquely matter-of-fact timbre and pace of his voice as he glides among his sparkling non sequiturs…"
Alan Pollackin the forward to Adaptations: Disquisitions on Psychoanalysis 1996-2006 (Hanns Sachs Library and Archives, Word Association Publishers, paperback)
"These brilliant nonlinear annual disquisitions on the state of psychoanalysis, gild their philosophic pills in marvelous comic display of their author's erudition. Charming the reader as they illuminate the multiple problems currently facing psychoanalysts, they can provide profit and pleasure to a much wider readership than the local celebrant to whom they were originally addressed."
Anton Kris, M.D., Boston Psychoanalytic Institute
"…these are the kinds of fast-paced, comedic monologues that warrant rereading/rehearing, not only because there are more subtle laughs to be had between the big guffaws, but because attending to the details of the multi-stranded stories allows for the fullest appreciation of Freeman's underlying philosophy about psychoanalytic training and what it means in our current culture. In this fashion, Freeman is more the anthropologist of our field than anything else—explicating what we all see, but from new vantage points. The fact that his disquisitions are hilarious helps all of us get outside enough to catch the view."
Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association
"…a breath of fresh air that allows us to keep our sense of humor as we confront the problems challenging psychoanalysis today."
Psychoanalytic Quarterly
"...his running commentary and side-splitting asides may only amuse for a time. After our brandy and cigars, we may leave the joint wondering if we should not get to shelter or send word to France that help may be needed to restore what is left of our shattered kingdom."
American Imago
"…a running critique of the state of the discipline, more accurately, a critique of the state of Discipline itself in our time…Dr. Freeman has produced a work that deserves reading by the widest possible audience."

Rallying youths to take steps for a cause
When Jasper Ong, 28, and Leonard Chong, 26, heard about the STEPS For A Cause Runathon 2013, they spontaneously hatched a plan to rope in their friend Darryl Soon, 26, and raise funds for the needy at the same time. The trio, from Toa Payoh Chinese Methodist Church (TPCMC), threw down the gauntlet before the youths of TPCMC – raise funds for STEPS, and Darryl would run the 4.3 km route at the runathon pulling a tire along behind him.
This harnessing of youths' creativity and compassion is the precise motivation behind the STEPS For A Cause Runathon, which was held at Bedok Reservoir Park on August 24 this year.
STEPS – now in its second year running – is organised by the Chinese Annual Conference youths to rally other youths for social concerns, using fund-raising as a means.
Before the runathon flag-off, Chinese Annual Conference President Rev Dr Chong Chin Chung said: "Society has high hopes for our youths. The church has high hopes for our youths… There are many tasks and ministries that need the youths to succeed."
And more are rallying to the cause. This year, 505 runners – more than double last year's 220 runners – registered with STEPS to raise more than $60,000 for the 5,000 beneficiaries served by Methodist Welfare Services (MWS).
Matthew Han, Chairman of the organising committee and member of Grace Methodist Church, believes that the youths are raring to serve, and they simply need an outlet.
To reach out to Methodist youths, the STEPS organising committee made rounds at church services and Methodist gatherings. Between them, they spoke to Methodists from more than 10 churches,exhorting the congregations to step forward. TPCMC is one good example of how the youths can be rallied. Collectively, TPCMC youths raised more than $4,000.
A dollar for every metre," said Darryl, referring to the 4.3 km route that he ran. Lynn Chua, the winner for the ladies' competitive category, said running events are a good way to raise money.
"More people see the importance of health and are running more," said the 23-year-old medical student who worships at Hinghwa Methodist Church.
The Rev Andy Goh, advisor of the organising committee, also noted that STEPS is symbolic of Methodists journeying with the beneficiaries.
"We're running in unity with those who are running a tougher path in life," he said.

For those with a big family, there are really only 2 vehicle options available. You can get an SUV or a minivan. However, while minivans can be comfortable and spacious, they also lack the grit, power, and fun that an SUV provides.

From the SUV class, there are only a handful of models that fit that description. Luckily, we've got 2 strong contenders that fit that mold, and we're going to compare them today. It's the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas vs the 2018 Honda Pilot!

Chickahominy Power cancels plans for natural gas plant in Charles City
By: Sarah Vogelsong - March 17, 2022 5:01 pm
The planned site of the now-canceled Chickahominy Power Station, a proposed natural gas power plant, in Charles City County. (Sarah Vogelsong/Virginia Mercury)
A second natural gas plant planned for Charles City County has been canceled, with the developers citing "opposition from outside interests and regulations" that "made it impossible to deliver natural gas to the site."
Specifically, the developers blamed "the renewable energy industry and state legislators that supported them" for the cancellation.
Chickahominy Power, LLC posted the announcement that it is terminating its plans to build a 1,600 megawatt natural gas plant southeast of Richmond on Thursday after six years of trying to bring the project to fruition.
"We are relocating our development effort to West Virginia and/or Ohio where we have started the process of site selection and air permitting," the statement reads.
In February, an affiliated company known as Chickahominy Pipeline, LLC canceled plans to build a gas pipeline across five counties to carry gas from a Transco line to the planned power plant.
That cancellation was spurred by a decision by the regional electric grid manager to terminate Chickahominy Power's interconnection agreement because it said the company "has demonstrated no diligence or meaningful progress on the Chickahominy Project since entering the queue in October 2016."
Another natural gas plant known as C4GT that different developers planned to build in Charles City County just a mile from the Chickahominy Power site was canceled this July.
Both plants would have operated as "merchant generators," selling electricity into the grid as a business venture, and would not have been providing power directly to Virginia customers. Both also struggled to obtain sufficient financing over the course of their development.
Natural gas infrastructure has become increasingly hard to develop in Virginia as the state transitions away from fossil fuels toward renewables. Under the 2020 Virginia Clean Economy Act, the power sector is required to decarbonize by 2050.

Globally, 35% of employers report they are experiencing difficulty filling jobs due to lack of available talent; making youth unemployment one of the biggest and most consistent challenges across our communities. In the UK, 82% of Scale-up business leaders list the low levels of skills in the workforce as their single biggest barrier to further growth and 56 % of CBI members list this as the single biggest threat to UK competitiveness in the next five years.
This partnership builds upon the collaboration Founders4Schools has with Barclays Lifeskills and the Prince's Trust so that the young people who have attended employability sessions run by one of the partners in the programme will now be offered placements with fast growing innovative companies that drive economic growth in the UK. Activities will extend to organisations like Teach First that Founders4Schools also collaborate with.
We know that addressing unemployment improves individual social and economic prospects and creates broader opportunities for growth and increased resilience.
Helping people gain the vital skills they need to get into work also supports entrepreneurs so they can scale their businesses and create more employment opportunities.
Barclays Citizenship's goal is to create and grow a collection of products, services and partnerships that address unmet societal needs while at the same time provide commercial benefit and a competitive advantage, thus stimulating new innovation and growth. It's about using core business know-how and working with a network of clients, partners and other stakeholders to achieve this.
Barclays LifeSkills brings business, education providers and young people together by helping to provide the skills needed for work. The programme aims to make young people's first steps into the job market as easy as possible by offering CV and interview practice and improving access to work experience.
Founders4schools improves the life chances of students by connecting young people with 14,000 business leaders who lead some of the fastest growing companies in the UK in order to raise their aspirations, show them where their education can take them and what the jobs of the future are by the very people that are hiring.


The battery material, which is created by breaking tree fibres down to form nanocellulose, takes the form of a wood-based aerogel that is foam-like in appearance and highly elastic.
The aerogel is made by breaking down tree fibres so they are a millionth of their original size, a process that produces nano cellulose. Then comes the process of removing the water from the material, which must be done without allowing it to enter a liquid state.
The aerogel also enables the batteries to have a 3D structure, providing far more storage capacity in a smaller space.The material's structure gives it a very high surface area for its size; a cubic decimetre of the aerogel would cover most of a football pitch if spread out flat.


UL FSRI's Keith Stakes explains one of the limitations of thermal imaging cameras - structural stability. Thermal imaging cameras are an important piece of technology used by firefighters to assist in search and rescue operations and also allow the ability to locate and monitor fire behavior within the structure. Like with any technology, thermal imagers have their own limitations. To be most effective, firefighters must equally aware of the applicable uses and benefits to these cameras as well as the short comings.


Sir Dave Brailsford is fond of likening the constantly interacting instruments of Team Sky to an orchestra and, if he is undoubtedly the conductor, the man largely responsible for teaching the most brilliant symphony in British cycling history remains almost unknown.
Yet flick through the pages of the autobiographies of Sir Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome and you will soon find words like "genius", "guru", "beacon" and "boffin" alongside the name Tim Kerrison. As well as coaching three of the last four Tour de France winners, Kerrison previously worked with Commonwealth, World and Olympic champions in rowing and swimming. He does few interviews and, while happy to answer questions on the subject of anti-doping and his belief that clean riders will surpass the performances of past cheats, he also hopes to "explain a bit about what we do as well as what we don't do".
The doors to a regular day in the life of Team Sky are duly opened and, for the next six hours, both out on the roads around Monaco and in the team house along the Moyenne Corniche, nothing is off bounds. Team Sky have been competing again in France and the current Paris-Nice race is certain to be decided this weekend on some of the climbs that we will pass on the training ride.
Most famous of all is the Col de la Madone, largely because it was Lance Armstrong's favourite mountain and the stretch of road on which he would test himself before the Tour de France. Froome, who is training with Geraint Thomas, Luke Rowe, Nicolas Roche and Salvatore Puccio on this particular day, has described the Madone as "a fallen woman" but "blameless and beautiful".
It says everything, though, for the suspicion that follows cycling in the wake of the Armstrong era that Froome hesitated before revealing that his best training time up the 12 kilometre ascent was actually 38 seconds faster than Armstrong's reported record set some 14 years earlier. Kerrison points out that Armstrong "cheated to race not to train" and is cautious about attempts to compare previous eras. The numerous potential variables in the measurement of two rides is one issue but what he most objects to is the premise that there is some cut-off point at which a performance is automatically dubious.
To reinforce his point, Kerrison tells me about his work with the swimmer Leisel Jones. In 2004, he had come up with a plan to break the 200m world breaststroke record with Jones that included specific target times. The head coach of the Australia team was Don Talbot. "In terms of Australian sport, he was the equivalent to Dave Brailsford," says Kerrison. "He was a pretty fiery character and I remember him getting stuck into me, saying 'How dare you put a limit on her performance'." Jones did substantially lower the world record from 2:22.99 to 2:20.54 but it has since been bettered five more times and now stands at 2:19.11. "So Don was right - we didn't set the bar high enough," says Kerrison. "People thought it was impossible to break the four minute mile. Now it is common place. We know in 20 or 30 years' time, we will look back on our performances now and they will not be remarkable.
So just how are Team Sky doing that? Previous changes have involved moving away from traditions of long winter foundation rides in favour of high intensity sessions throughout the year and more training camps rather than races. Another cycling norm is being broken this year and, although it is being implemented by Thomas on this training ride, Kerrison requests that what he thinks is "very new thinking" is not specifically explained in this article. It is interesting, though, to notice how other leading riders from the Monaco area latch onto the Sky riders.
By the time of a coffee stop across the Italian border in Bordighera, the former world champion Philippe Gilbert, who rides for BMC, and several amateurs have joined the group. Over an espresso, Froome makes it clear that the most important 'marginal gain' for him this winter has been a comfortable spare room following the birth of his first child, Kellan. Thomas mostly just wants to discuss Arsenal's chances of winning the Premier League title again.
Kerrison knows that this year's training change – which was partly inspired by his background in rowing – will eventually become common knowledge in the peloton but, by then, hopes to be trying something else. "This is the best we know now but for sure there are better ways to do things," he says.
Once the training ride is finished, it is back to the team house where Kerrison then shows me both a presentation he gave to other Team Sky staff last year and his own self-written handbook that he uses as a checklist for the seven riders he coaches. A cycling magazine is on the sofa and there is little attempt to hide his disdain at a piece that describes Team Sky as a "crack team of data-obsessed number crunchers".
Yes, he can and does assess the power, speed, cadence, altitude, temperature and heart rate on every training ride but is adamant that this forms just a fraction of his work. Indeed, his presentation was titled 'It's not about the numbers' and he went on to describe his various roles. They included 'problem solver', 'applied scientist', 'psychologist', 'teacher', 'leader', 'motivator', 'cycling expert' and 'social architect'. In his checklist, it is also interesting to see that the question 'How do we get the right lifestyle balance for you?' sits at the very top.
Understanding the motivations of a rider is something that is thought deeply about. The challenge confronting Froome this season, for example, both as defending Tour champion and a new Dad, will have been carefully assessed. "We speak to all riders to gauge their motivation," says Kerrison. "At what point does that desire, hunger and willingness to make the sacrifices required fade? Maybe never with some. Bradley [Wiggins] was going to win the Tour once. How do we make sure the guys are prepared to do what it takes?
"We live in these sub-cultures. I would rather put the right group together and let them learn from each other. People learn and develop the most when you take them out of their comfort zone." The importance of creating the optimum training environment was something he learned from Denis Cotterell, who was the coach to Australian swimming legend Grant Hackett. Cotterell, like Kerrison, was incredibly detailed about his training plans but the wider culture formed the foundation.
The Wada list – and the sometimes inconsistent logic behind what is deemed legal – has come into sharp focus this week with Maria Sharapova's positive test for meldonium. Team Sky policy is that no rider should take any medication or supplement that is not approved by their staff. Beyond what is on the Wada list, there are also legal products that team doctors would not allow, such as the pain killer tramadol.
There is an internal panel, which includes both Brailsford and Kerrison, that reviews all riders' biological passports on a monthly basis. An external panel of experts is also used. We meet before the Sharapova announcement but shortly after news of a rider found with a motor inside their cyclo-cross bike.

Singing, dance and stories are used to teach young children to actively and imaginatively explore, develop and improve movement, voice and communication.
A fun, engaging and inspiring class, combining half an hour of ballet dance and half an hour of tap dance.
Musical Theatre exploded onto the art scene at the beginning of the Twentieth Century and as a genre it immediately captured the hearts of people worldwide. Nobody is immune to the power of a musical. Whether you are gripped spellbound by the songs, held enthralled by the dance routines or simply adore the magical weaving of the plot the musical has something for everyone.
From the earliest age we connect with the songs of the Sound of Music, are touched by the magic of the Wizard of Oz and fully believe in the world of Mary Poppins. But when and how does this enchantment begin? It begins with the first time a young child hears the captivating melody of a song and is shown how to sing along. Actions enhance the understanding of the lyrics, the music and the meaning, bringing the audio experience to life in a tactile and kinaesthetic manner. Storytelling then brings the musical experience fully into context so that young people can relate to the characters and completely engage with their situations, developing empathy and understanding.
Ballet will benefit both the mind and body of your child. Ballet promotes discipline whilst developing poise, posture, flexibility, strength and balance. What small child is not immediately captured and charmed by the classical Ballet stories The Nutcracker or Coppelia? Ballet is a true storytelling art form, where techniques informs communication and the charm begins from the very first time you put your own ballet shoes on.
Tap is an exciting and instantly rewarding dance style for your child that strengthens and conditions whilst improving rhythm and coordination in a fun environment. From the moment Fred Astaire first clicked onto the silver screen Tap has had a unique and universal appeal. The process of mastering rhythm, coordination and balance coupled with developing the strength and poise this discipline demands is an immediately rewarding experience. Tap has enjoyed a remarkable performance history and this is drawn on in lessons to enhance and inform a truly multi-sensory learning experience.

Would you recommend MailMaster to a friend?
This looks very promising! I'm curious to know, what methods do you employ to ensure that the emails don't land in a recipient's spam folder?
@owens Based on how our emails are written. We avoid practically all keywords that get tripped!
@owens the real answer is that they can't really control it. The large ISPs all use a mix of IP/Domain reputation and bayesian filtering to decide what goes in spam, keywords are a very small part of the puzzle these days.
That was the most uninformative, non-convincing website I have seen. Superb design though, I'm sure you'll catch some curious cats.
@iambryansanders @rrhoover Hey Ryan! We used crawlers to populate a database of hundreds of thousands of leads worldwide, focused on the top niches of customers we already had. That database continues to grow as users search for their own leads based on a given niche and location - meaning speed will only improve with time!
How do you get the emails? Domain? LinkedIn? Are they validated? If so, how? What's your deliverability rate? Where do they land in gmail? There are already great services that cover a lot of these functions. How do ya'll differentiate?
@johnbhiggins Hey John! Thanks for the comments. We are constantly crawling the web looking for emails. They are searchable via industry, location, or both. They land in the main inbox too. We differentiate by combining the good parts of every step in one beautiful platform.

Seeking city status
Coleraine reflects on rich history as it makes official bid
Coleraine Town Hall, which serves as a focal point in the Diamond area, was originally built as a market house by the City of London surveyor in 1742 before it was rebuilt as the present day building.
COLERAINE, the site of the oldest known settlement on the island of Ireland, has officially submitted its bid to be declared a city.
The application, made by Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council, is part of a UK-wide civic honours competition to mark HM The Queen's Platinum jubilee in 2022.
Home to Mountsandel, where Stone Age hunters are thought to have lived almost 10,000 years during the early Mesolithic period, the town is hoping to add 'city-status' to its list of credentials which also includes historic links to St Patrick, football legends and Olympic heroes.
As the largest town in the Causeway Coast and Glens destination, it enjoys a central position in the tourism hub surrounded by a UNESCO World Heritage site at the Giant's Causeway as well as four distinct Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.


In wintry areas of North America, heated walkways and driveways that melt snow have been a prized feature of upscale homes and businesses for decades. Indoors, radiant-heated floors have long been an amenity in high-end homes, and new technology makes them a worthwhile investment in starter homes, too, since they can reduce the cost of heating the house.
Alliances between decorative concrete contractors and heating contractors can add value to both businesses. Why not offer customers floors and hardscapes with all the benefits of decorative concrete and hydronic heating?
A hydronic systems designer and three decorative contractors talked with Concrete Decor about how those partnerships work for them.
Hydronic tubes solve the problem of removing snow on steep driveways, such as the driveway at this Salt Lake City house. Photos courtesy of Harris-Dudley Co.
Hydronic radiant heat systems circulate a heated solution of glycol and water through loops of cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) tubing under a floor. The water is usually heated in a dedicated boiler, which may be gas, electric or solar, depending on the climate. Other radiant heat systems heat the slab with electric wires instead of liquid.
A plumber or electrician must design the system and make the connections, but some regulatory jurisdictions allow the concrete contractor to lay out the tubing or wires.
Once the concrete has been poured over the tubing, the slab is finished just as any other indoor or outdoor floor. The buried tubing will not change the processes of troweling, stamping, coloring, sawing or polishing.
His company specifies hydronic systems from Uponor North America. The systems are controlled by temperature and moisture sensors and are designed to melt the snow as it falls.
Before Reuben Keim's Ohio-based crew poured a 25,000-square-foot slab for a commercial building in October, a plumber laid out this hydronic tubing on Crete-Heat, a foam board with knobs that hold the tubing in place. Reinforcing mesh is laid over the tubing.
Architectural Concrete and Design, a Bomanite licensee in Draper, Utah, does hydronically heated concrete floors, walkways and driveways in Park City, a ski resort community where many homes are 8,000 feet above sea level and can get as much as 300 inches of snow a year.
Johnson's company usually gets the work via a general contractor who has contracted out a hydronic or electric heat system. He works with Warmzone LLC, a radiant heating company based in Draper. Johnson prefers to have his employees place the tubes or wires themselves, subcontracting a certified plumber or electrician to make the connections.
"We terminate the wires or tubes to a certain area, and the electrician or plumber will take them from there to a junction area, where they will run them to the control panels. The boilers and panels are generally in the garage.
Johnson uses a boom pump to place the concrete without dislodging the tubes. For indoor applications, 2 inches of lightweight gypcrete are poured over a wooden subfloor, and the gypcrete is then covered with floor coverings or a decorative concrete overlay. Exterior slabs with heat systems are poured at least 4 inches thick with a standard concrete mix.
Reuben Keim, owner of Keim Concrete in Wooster, Ohio, finds that his hydronic work is about half remodels and half new construction. "On a lot of our jobs, the house might be two or three years old, and they are adding a feature to it, like a patio," he says.
Generally, he gets his radiant work from homeowners. "It's not something that I really push that much," he says.
"Until the past two years, 80 percent of our stuff was interior floors, but we're seeing it shifting to outdoors," he says. He's done heated patios, so homeowners can let their dogs out in the winter, and heated walkways that give easy access to a hot tub.
Recently, Keim's crew tried something new: They poured a slab after a plumber had laid out tubing on a substrate of Crete-Heat, a foam panel covered with knobs that hold the PEX tubing in place. "I was very impressed with the way it worked," he says.
Decorative contractors can also find opportunities when radiant heating is installed indoors. Michael Frost, of Vermont Eco-Floors, Charlotte, Vt., has made a specialty of polishing hydronically heated residential concrete floors designed with different combinations of aggregates and sand.
Radiant heat under wood floors has long been popular in Vermont, but it's more efficient to heat a concrete floor. "This allows us to use lower water temperatures, which increases the efficiency of the heating system," Frost says. "When efficiency is increased, the size of the alternative energy system is decreased, reducing costs. The money is then available to increase insulation, better windows and so on to maximize energy efficiency.
Vermont Eco-Floors has been working with Vermont builders who are installing solar-heated radiant systems in starter homes. "While you may not be reducing the cost of building the house, you can reduce the future heating bills for the homeowner or tenant," Frost says. The new generation of solar hot water systems are even more efficient than the old, with only a small amount of the glycol heating loop exposed to the cold weather.
Frost also has finished hydronic floors in basements, where they help heat the whole house, and in warehouses. In high-ceilinged industrial spaces, radiant floor heat keeps temperatures comfortable on the floor without wasting heat at the ceiling.
Frost praises the efficiency of these new heating methods. "The world is getting better every day. We are helping to reduce our carbon footprint, house by house," he says.

UNICEF calls for full reopening of schools in South Asia
Schools in South Asian countries have been closed for a long time due to the Corona epidemic. More than 400 million children in the region have been affected. The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has called for the schools to be reopened.
According to Qatar-based Al-Jazeera, quoting UNICEF, Bangladesh is on the list of countries with the longest school closures due to Corona. Schools in Bangladesh have been closed for about 18 months since the epidemic began.
On the other hand, from March 2020 to August this year, schools in other South Asian countries were closed for an average of 31 and a half weeks.
George Laria-Aji, UNICEF's Regional Director for South Asia, spoke to AFP. He said schools have been closed for a long time in an area where there is no strong system of distance learning. Internet and technological devices are far beyond the reach of human beings. As a result, there is a huge shortage of education. The biggest victims are children and girls from poor families. Because, men feel more comfortable with technology.
In this situation, UNICEF has called on the governments of South Asian countries to introduce physical education to students in every class. The organization emphasizes on ensuring adequate attendance of students in the class as well as increasing communication between them.
George Laria-Aji warns that the inactivity among students as a result of school closures could lead to a weakened manpower within a few years. The result will be long term.
Meanwhile, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) says schools in Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Afghanistan have been partially reopened. However, classes are in full swing in Sri Lanka and Pakistan.

Writing and Rhetoric professors face the realities of personnel cuts
By Rebecca Liebson / November 7, 2017
Flyers protesting the recent decision to replace writing and rhetoric professors were distributed outside of the Staller Center for the Arts on Oct. 20. JOSEPH KONIG/THE STATESMAN
Update: Nov. 8, 2017, 3:26 p.m.
The College of Arts and Sciences released a statement to The Statesman saying that they informed Sarah Azzara and two other faculty members that they would be reassigned on Oct. 20. Azzara said she was only told her contract would be renewed, and has yet to receive a contract or any written confirmation of the renewal.
Sitting in her office on the second floor of the Humanities Building, Becky Goldberg, an adjunct professor in the Program in Writing and Rhetoric, contemplates what the future will hold for her family when her contract with Stony Brook University expires at the end of this semester.
"I have a one-year-old baby who has serious medical issues," she said. "He has been, since before he was born, treated and cared for by Stony Brook doctors. So the thought of losing health insurance is really frightening for us."
Goldberg and her husband, Chris Petty, are two of the 20 professors in the Program in Writing and Rhetoric who were told that their contracts would not be renewed next semester.
The affected faculty were given notice in the second week of October. Program director Roger Thompson called them in for a meeting, in which he explained that there was no adjunct budget for the spring and that all of them would have to be let go.
Two full-time lecturers, including professor Sarah Azzara, were also told they had been let go. Yet, with class sections still assigned to them on SOLAR, it is uncertain whether that decision has been finalized.
For Azzara, losing her job means losing a hard-fought sense of security for her and her 11-year-old daughter, Madeline.
"When I got this lectureship, I bought a house because I thought 'at last, a stable lifestyle for me and my daughter,'" Azzara said. "When I was in graduate school I moved her from place to place a lot as the needs arose, so I was really excited she would have one stable place she could stay with her friends and call home. Now there's a very good chance I have to sell my house if I can't have a sustainable income."
"The timing of it was horrible," said Anthony Teets, another non-renewed adjunct. Since the application process for most spring teaching positions begins at the start of the fall semester, Teets and many of his colleagues have no set plans for where they will land next.
The lack of advanced notice was also a huge blow for Goldberg and her husband, who were preparing to purchase a home in the area. "We had to pull out of our mortgage contract," she said. "We lost a ton of money in doing that. We had packed up our entire lives. We were ready to move."
For many of the professors who are not being renewed, the thing that concerns them the most is what will become of their program once they are gone.
"Obviously I care about my job – but this program has been built up into something amazing," part-time lecturer Margaret Kennedy said. "It's one of the few programs on campus that basically every single student is going to be touched by."
In order to fill the demand for courses like the Intermediate Writing Workshop (WRT 102), which most students must complete, the adjuncts were told that full-time lecturers from other disciplines, including pharmacology and geology, would take their places. There will also likely be an increase in class sizes, as President Samuel L. Stanley Jr. confirmed at a press conference with student media last week.
The number of upper division course sections for students enrolled in both the writing minor and the professional writing minor will be decreased from 20 to five.
Azzara took issue with the notion that faculty from other departments could or should teach writing.
"I think it's possible but I think it would be a herculean if not a Sisyphean endeavor," Azzara said. "Teaching writing is a very specific discipline. Just because a person can put a paragraph together doesn't mean they can teach other people how to write. I think it's going to be hard, just like it would be hard for me to teach intro to geology."
With increased class sizes and professors who may be more accustomed to teaching in large lecture halls, Goldberg said the personal connection that the faculty has worked so hard to create in their introductory courses could be lost.
"Trust me, I know more about my students than probably any other faculty member in this institution because we meet one on one," Goldberg said. "I know when they're stressed, I know when they're upset, I know when they're experiencing a bad breakup or when there's something going on at home."
At a town hall meeting last Thursday, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Sacha Kopp said the decision to bring in full-time faculty from unrelated departments was made in an attempt to save other lecturers who were at risk of termination.
"I'm not undermining the instruction taught by the adjuncts. I'm also simultaneously managing employment expectations here at the campus," Kopp said to the audience at the meeting. "We do have our tenure track faculty and our full time faculty and there are expectations of longevity," he noted, later adding that he felt a sense of commitment to the full-time faculty who had been "solid contributors to the campus for quite some time."
Teets, who has been at Stony Brook for six years, fired back at the suggestion that adjuncts do not contribute to the university at the same caliber as their full-time counterparts.
"Last year I received the President's Award for Excellence in Teaching. And this year it's 'hit the road jack.' I don't get it," he said at the meeting.
The faculty demonstrated their sense of confusion and betrayal via twitter after Kopp posted a picture featuring two of the non-renewed professors, praising them for their work in the department.
Proud of @SBUArtsSciences @SBUWritRhet program and its support of student writing and critical thinking @stonybrooku! https://t.co/InCNtcobFu
— Sacha Kopp (@CASdeanSBU) October 22, 2017
One of the professors pictured, adjunct Steven Dube, tweeted back asking for a response from the dean, but his request was never fulfilled.
"The most vulnerable members of our community, adjunct faculty and also undergraduate students, are paying for the administration's financial mistakes," Dube said. "To me, that's very troubling, and this raises great ethical concerns."
As a last ditch effort to save their jobs, the professors have organized a protest and a petition calling on the College of Arts and Sciences to reverse the decision.
Despite having their careers thrown into a state of flux, Teets said he and his colleagues have devoted their attention to finishing out the semester the same way they started. "I can't abandon my students because of my misery. I have to be strong for them."
As the professors try to preserve a sense of normalcy in their classes, behind closed doors, Goldberg said there is an unmistakable feeling of despair.
"The last decade of my life, more, has been Stony Brook," she said. "I was a grad student here. I met my husband here. We had our kid here. And now all of the sudden it feels like this part of my life, there's just a black cloud over the whole thing."

Opinion|The Economics of Soaking the Rich
The Economics of Soaking the Rich
What does Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez know about tax policy? A lot.
Opinion Columnist

I have no idea how well Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will perform as a member of Congress. But her election is already serving a valuable purpose. You see, the mere thought of having a young, articulate, telegenic nonwhite woman serve is driving many on the right mad — and in their madness they're inadvertently revealing their true selves.
Some of the revelations are cultural: The hysteria over a video of AOC dancing in college says volumes, not about her, but about the hysterics. But in some ways the more important revelations are intellectual: The right's denunciation of AOC's "insane" policy ideas serves as a very good reminder of who is actually insane.
The controversy of the moment involves AOC's advocacy of a tax rate of 70-80 percent on very high incomes, which is obviously crazy, right? I mean, who thinks that makes sense? Only ignorant people like … um, Peter Diamond, Nobel laureate in economics and arguably the world's leading expert on public finance. (Although Republicans blocked him from an appointment to the Federal Reserve Board with claims that he was unqualified. Really.) And it's a policy nobody has ever implemented, aside from … the United States, for 35 years after World War II — including the most successful period of economic growth in our history.
To be more specific, Diamond, in work with Emmanuel Saez — one of our leading experts on inequality — estimated the optimal top tax rate to be 73 percent. Some put it higher: Christina Romer, top macroeconomist and former head of President Obama's Council of Economic Advisers, estimates it at more than 80 percent.
[Never be uninteresting. Read the most thought-provoking, funny, delightful and raw stories from The New York Times Opinion section.]
Where do these numbers come from? Underlying the Diamond-Saez analysis are two propositions: Diminishing marginal utility and competitive markets.
Diminishing marginal utility is the common-sense notion that an extra dollar is worth a lot less in satisfaction to people with very high incomes than to those with low incomes. Give a family with an annual income of $20,000 an extra $1,000 and it will make a big difference to their lives. Give a guy who makes $1 million an extra thousand and he'll barely notice it.
What this implies for economic policy is that we shouldn't care what a policy does to the incomes of the very rich. A policy that makes the rich a bit poorer will affect only a handful of people, and will barely affect their life satisfaction, since they will still be able to buy whatever they want.
So why not tax them at 100 percent? The answer is that this would eliminate any incentive to do whatever it is they do to earn that much money, which would hurt the economy. In other words, tax policy toward the rich should have nothing to do with the interests of the rich, per se, but should only be concerned with how incentive effects change the behavior of the rich, and how this affects the rest of the population.
But here's where competitive markets come in. In a perfectly competitive economy, with no monopoly power or other distortions — which is the kind of economy conservatives want us to believe we have — everyone gets paid his or her marginal product. That is, if you get paid $1000 an hour, it's because each extra hour you work adds $1000 worth to the economy's output.
In that case, however, why do we care how hard the rich work? If a rich man works an extra hour, adding $1000 to the economy, but gets paid $1000 for his efforts, the combined income of everyone else doesn't change, does it? Ah, but it does — because he pays taxes on that extra $1000. So the social benefit from getting high-income individuals to work a bit harder is the tax revenue generated by that extra effort — and conversely the cost of their working less is the reduction in the taxes they pay.
Or to put it a bit more succinctly, when taxing the rich, all we should care about is how much revenue we raise. The optimal tax rate on people with very high incomes is the rate that raises the maximum possible revenue.
And that's something we can estimate, given evidence on how responsive the pre-tax income of the wealthy actually is to tax rates. As I said, Diamond and Saez put the optimal rate at 73 percent, Romer at over 80 percent — which is consistent with what AOC said.
An aside: What if we take into account the reality that markets aren't perfectly competitive, that there's a lot of monopoly power out there? The answer is that this almost surely makes the case for even higher tax rates, since high-income people presumably get a lot of those monopoly rents.
So AOC, far from showing her craziness, is fully in line with serious economic research. (I hear that she's been talking to some very good economists.) Her critics, on the other hand, do indeed have crazy policy ideas — and tax policy is at the heart of the crazy.
You see, Republicans almost universally advocate low taxes on the wealthy, based on the claim that tax cuts at the top will have huge beneficial effects on the economy. This claim rests on research by … well, nobody. There isn't any body of serious work supporting G.O.P. tax ideas, because the evidence is overwhelmingly against those ideas.
Look at the history of top marginal income tax rates (left) versus growth in real GDP per capita (right, measured over 10 years, to smooth out short-run fluctuations.):
Top tax rates and growthCreditTax Policy Center, BEA
What we see is that America used to have very high tax rates on the rich — higher even than those AOC is proposing — and did just fine. Since then tax rates have come way down, and if anything the economy has done less well.
Why do Republicans adhere to a tax theory that has no support from nonpartisan economists and is refuted by all available data? Well, ask who benefits from low taxes on the rich, and it's obvious.
And because the party's coffers demand adherence to nonsense economics, the party prefers "economists" who are obvious frauds and can't even fake their numbers effectively.
Which brings me back to AOC, and the constant effort to portray her as flaky and ignorant. Well, on the tax issue she's just saying what good economists say; and she definitely knows more economics than almost everyone in the G.O.P. caucus, not least because she doesn't "know" things that aren't true.

It's widely accepted that time is our most valuable asset, after all you can't earn any more time. So anything that helps me to save time so I can focus my time and energy on things I love is a huge bonus. The Internet helps me save time because now I can work from home, earning a salary without spending hours a day in the daily commute. Likewise, I no longer have to line up in a bank to do transactions, I can do almost all of my transactions online. Apps such as Waze help guide me through the best traffic routes in order to save as much time as possible. I notice the extra time the Internet's afforded me on a daily basis and I'm extremely grateful for that.

Latin for a 'guilty act.' The actus reus is the act which, in combination with a certain mental state, such as intent or recklessness, constitutes a crime.

For example, the crime of larceny is the taking of the personal property of another with the intent to permanently deprive the other person of the property.

A ruling by a judge, typically made after the plaintiff has presented all of her evidence but before the defendant puts on his case, that awards judgment to the defendant. A directed verdict is usually made because the judge concludes the plaintiff has failed to offer the minimum amount of evidence to prove her case even if there were no opposition. In other words, the judge is saying that, as a matter of law, no reasonable jury could decide in the plaintiff's favor. In a criminal case, a directed verdict is a judgement of acquittal for the defendant.
