Hello and welcome to For the Love of Mum. We are a beautifully curated online shop selling super stylish products for Mums to use in pregnancy and with baby.
I founded For the Love of Mum in 2017, shortly after the birth of our third baby. Pregnancy and early motherhood is such an incredible experience. The wonder and awe of what our bodies can create and sustain is truly overwhelming. The power of womanhood is huge and the miracle of new life is mind blowing.
But it also takes a huge toll. The physical and emotional rollercoaster can never be underestimated and affects every aspect of our lives. However magical this period of life is, its also hugely disruptive. The ground shaking changes can often come as a surprise, especially the first time!
With three babies under five, it's taken me a long time to fully understand my new life as a Mother and to embrace it, for all its brilliance and madness! But I've also learnt the importance of defining your own space, of retaining your own independent identity and remembering the individual within you, beyond motherhood.
At a time when you have very little control over your body, your time, your sleep, surrounding yourself with practical products that also reflect your pre-motherhood style can be hugely empowering.
So whilst sitting on the sofa after a long night of breastfeeding, I decided to create For the Love of Mum. Because it's all about the love of a Mother – nothing can touch that – but it's also about YOU. Let's empower Mothers to retain their independence whilst also loving and nurturing their growing families.
Every product we stock has been tried and tested by me. Firstly the products must be PRACTICAL and make every day mothering life as easy as possible. Secondly they must be STYLISH. They must look great, feel great and give you the confidence to hold your head high.
You are awesome. Your body is incredible. Your baby is a miracle.
This boutique is about YOU. Let's show our children that we are strong women as well as strong mothers.
I really hope you enjoy exploring For the Love of Mum and discover some baby gear that you just can't live without!

A: In model 2, the intercept represents the mean response when all covariates are set to zero...Because zero are presumably implausible values for those height and weight, looking at the mean response when height=weight=0 is extrapolating well beyond the scope of your data. Because height and weight are negatively associated with the outcome variable in your sample, this extrapolation results in a very large intercept (which should convince you of the dangers of extrapolation).
In model 1 the intercept estimate effectively averages over the sample values of height and weight, rather than quantifying the mean when those two variables (and the others) are zero.
I suggest you center height and weight (and maybe the other predictors). When you do that, the intercept represents the mean response when those predictors are set to their means, which has a more natural interpretation (and doesn't change the overall fit of the model in any way).

A: The constant represents the y-intercept when all the variables that are in the model are zero. If you add a variable with a non-zero mean it may have a dramatic effect on the intercept. Specifically, if the IVs are themselves related, the coefficients of the smaller model (including the intercept) should be expected to be different.
For some discussion of this sort of effect, see the section in Intuition in the wikipedia article on omitted variable bias. The impact of the intercept is mentioned there.
[There are several posts on site discussing the effect on coefficients of variables included in both models -- e.g. see this one, but as with that question, they typically tend not to focus on the intercept]
(This effect doesn't imply that the coefficients of the larger model are themselves unbiased; there may be further important variables that are in turn related to variables already in the model)
However, the intercept may change even when the IVs are unrelated to each other, as long as the means of the additional variables are not 0. If the means of the omitted variables are large and they're related to the DV, the effect can be substantial.
Consider the following simple example, which has no error in it for simplicity of illustration (the data are represented by open circles, the filled circles mark potential intercept-values depending on the model):

The response, $y$ is a linear function of two variables, $x$ and a grouping variable $z$. If you code the lower (red) group as $0$ then the fitted intercept will be $10$. If you code the upper (blue) group as $0$ then the fitted intercept will be $16$. If you omit the variable $z$ (in effect, both groups are now coded as $0$), the intercept will be at the grey dot (close to $12$ in this case). If $x$ and $z$ were perfectly uncorrelated the coefficient of $x$ would be correct (though its standard error would be inflated), and the intercept would be at a weighted average of 10 and 16, where the weights are proportional to the group-sizes. Note that here the omitted variable is small (its mean is 0.5) and its effect isn't especially large. If its mean was larger or the coefficient were bigger, the impact on the intercept can be correspondingly larger.
In some situations, particularly when some IV means are large and the IVs are strongly related, the effects on intercept may be really large. Taking the same relationship above (which is not at all an extreme example), by simply omitting some points, we get a dramatic effect on the intercept:

Erick Smith, PSAT Published 5:36 p.m. CT Jan. 9, 2016
The late Ernestine Scott created the Daily Promise in 1990.
Publishing a daily newspaper Scripture's not easy. Not only must the Scripture and the commentary (which suggests how the Scripture might be applied to our lives) be selected and delivered to the paper, but someone has to pay for it — about $50 a day.
To pay, Ernestine found sponsors. Each of The 31, as they are called, agreed to sponsor the ad one day per month. They have remained anonymous over the years. Some sponsors are businesses, others individuals. Over the years new contributors have come aboard when former sponsors left.
Some have been contributing for years.
Many of the businesspeople she talked to not only said yes but thanked her for asking.
The feature began March 1, 1990, appearing every day since, usually on Page 2A of the newspaper.
When she asked Darrell Smith, a licensed pharmacist and ordained Baptist pastor, to help her, he did.
Now he also has a ministry at the Business Men's Bible Class as well as the Fort Concho Mission. He and his wife, Kay, also work through The Gospel Vision Foundation, a nonprofit mission.
"As people have moved or died, the sponsor list has dwindled," Darrell said. "At this time my wife and I through our nonprofit mission, The Gospel Vision Foundation, are paying for 13 out of the 31 available sponsor spots.''
Darrell said he thought perhaps an article pointing out that The 31 turned 25 in 2015 and reminding readers how it was started would help get sponsors.
Also, Darrell said, readers "should know that this is a great opportunity for them to participate in providing, daily, bite-size portions of encouragement and hope from the Scriptures to struggling people."
He said rarely a week goes by that at least one person doesn't stop him or call to say how much the day's Daily Promise helped them.
Darrell said when Ernestine started the ministry each of The 31 was asked to pay for one day per month about $52. Most send a check once a year for the total. Others send a check each month.
Still others cannot afford the monthly cost and just give what they can when they can.
No gift is too small to be appreciated.
Darrell said contributors receive a thank-you and acknowledgment for each gift, and in January each year tax statements are sent to each donor.
To contribute, you can send a check marked for The 31 to The Gospel Vision Foundation, 2025 W. Beauregard Ave., San Angelo, TX 76903. You can also use a credit card by going online to gospelvision.org and clicking the donate button. It will allow you to make automatic regular (monthly) gifts or a one-time-only gift.
Anyone with questions can call Darrell at 325-234-9393 or his wife, Kay, at 325-374-1032.
"Before long I will, like Ernestine, begin to pray about who can and will continue this daily ministry to the people of the Concho Valley," Darrell said.
"Today, though, I must find some additional financial help so that God's message of help, hope and comfort will continue to be available to the readers."

Sanofi's venglustat bombs again, but isn't dead yet
Shortly after failing a Parkinson's disease study, Sanofi's venglustat has missed the mark in another trial in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), whittling down the list of possible uses for the drug even further.
Sanofi is still running studies of the glycosphingolipid (GSL) inhibitor in rare lysosomal storage diseases like Gaucher disease type 3, Fabry disease and GM2 gangliosidosis (also known as Tay-Sachs disease), but the company's earlier assessment of venglustat as a "pipeline in a pill" is starting to look shaky.
The phase 2/3 STAGED-PKD trial was abandoned after an assessment for futility showed no difference between the drug and placebo in rate of change in total kidney volume (TKV) over time, a key indicator of kidney damage in ADPKD, the most common form of inherited kidney disease.
The genetic disorder causes cysts to develop in the kidneys, leading to pain and other symptoms including headaches, urinary tract infections and high blood pressure. There are no approved therapies for the disease, which can lead to kidney failure and transplant, although drugs can be used off-label to slow its progression.
Sanofi's head of R&D John Reed said the outcome "was not what we hoped for", adding that the study has shown that "modulating the GSL pathway is insufficient to restore kidney function in adults affected by this disease."
He stressed that the GSL pathway remains an established target in lysosomal storage diseases, but there's no disguising the disappointment for the French pharma group.
Venglustat may well be an important new treatment for these rare diseases, but Sanofi had been hoping to position it for more common illnesses that would dramatically improve its revenue potential.
If successful, the trial in a sub-population of patients with Parkinson's disease could have added another 78,000 potential eligible patients for the drug in the US alone, along with almost twice that many with ADPKD.
The latest setback leaves Sanofi with a phase 3 trial on the go in GM2 gangliosidosis, which is vanishingly rare with only around 16 new cases diagnosed a year in the US, as well as phase 2 studies in Gaucher and Fabry with estimated patient numbers of around 6,000 and 11,000, respectively.
Sanofi is already a big player in rare diseases via its Genzyme subsidiary, which sells a range of enzyme replacement therapies for Gaucher, Fabry and Pompe diseases that collectively brought in around €3 billion last year.
These drugs have to be delivered by injection, however, while venglustat is a small-molecule drug so can be taken orally.
The drug was highlighted as one of the top prospects in Sanofi's pipeline by CEO Paul Hudson at its R&D day last year, along with immunology blockbuster Dupixent (dupilumab), haemophilia candidates fitusiran and BIVV001, brain-penetrating BTK inhibitor SAR442168 for multiple sclerosis, breast cancer candidate amcenestrant and nirsevimab for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

RUTH DUCKWORTH
Born in Germany, she came to England aged 17 fleeing from the Nazi persecution. Encouraged by her brother to become an artist, she studied at Liverpool School of Art for four years and later at Kennington School of Art. She married Aidron Duckworth in 1948. After art school she mainly worked as a sculptor in wood and stone even sometimes as a tombstone carver. Having become interested in ceramics, she was encouraged by her friend, the Austrian émigré potter Lucie Rie, to take some formal training in ceramics. She attended the Central School of Arts and Crafts in London (1956-8) where she later joined the staff. For a number of years she produced functional wares but after 1960 she followed her earlier preference for sculpture creating modernist abstract works inspired by organic form. Unusual for the period she used hand-building methods of coiling for her large stoneware vessels and pinching for the more delicate porcelain pieces.
In 1964 she was offered a teaching job at the University of Chicago, and she moved to the USA where she has worked and lived ever since. Over her long career she has had many commissions for architectural murals as well as continuing to produce small scale pieces. Now in her late 80s, she still makes ceramics, working a 40 hour week. She is one of the few artists who has successfully straddled the divide between sculpture and ceramics. - http://www.ceramics-aberystwyth.com/ruth-duckworth.html

Germaine Berton, née le  à Puteaux (Seine) et morte le  à Paris, est une ouvrière métallurgiste, militante syndicaliste et anarchiste française.

Le , son nom reste associé au meurtre de Marius Plateau, directeur de la Ligue d'Action française et de sa branche militante les Camelots du roi. Elle voulait assassiner Léon Daudet, l'une des principales figures politiques de l'Action française, mais n'avait pas réussi à le trouver. Elle déclare à la police avoir voulu venger Jean Jaurès, Miguel Almereyda et protester contre l'occupation de la Ruhr.

Le , son avocat, Henry Torrès, réussit à la faire acquitter.

Biographie

Enfance
Germaine Jeanne Yvonne Berton est née à Puteaux le , dans une famille issue du milieu ouvrier. Son père est un mécanicien, républicain et franc-maçon, admirateur de Jaurès et anticlérical. Sa mère est une institutrice congréganiste très pieuse. Elle est proche de son père, qui l'emmène voir Jaurès, mais a des relations difficiles avec sa mère. Elle adore jouer avec ses camarades masculins, et monte une pièce de théâtre sur le procès de Louis XVI à l'école.

Lorsqu'elle a dix ans, en 1912, la famille Berton s'installe à Tours. Elle est une bonne élève et passe son brevet de l'enseignement primaire supérieur. Elle intègre ensuite l'École des Beaux Arts de Tours, où elle reçoit le premier prix du dessin à vue. Elle est obligée de quitter l'école quand son père meurt, et devient ouvrière.

Elle est très marquée par la Première Guerre mondiale. À treize ans, elle tombe amoureuse d'un soldat qui est tué, et elle tente de se suicider en se jetant dans la Loire. Elle développe dès ce moment une opposition antimilitariste.

Débuts professionnels et militantisme
Germaine Berton travaille d'abord comme ouvrière dans une usine d'équipement américaine. Elle s'engage dans le mouvement syndical : Union des syndicats d'Indre et Loire, les comités syndicalistes révolutionnaires, la section du comité de défense sociale de Tours. La police établit des rapports sur elle, indiquant qu'elle prône la violence lors de ses prises de parole. Elle est recrutée dans les ateliers de chemin de fer de Tours, et entre en contact avec des militants CGT et des cheminots qui sont les meneurs du mouvement syndical. Elle intègre alors les comités de défense syndicalistes.

En 1918, elle participe à la reconstitution du syndicat des Métaux à Tours. Elle est ensuite renvoyée de l'usine Rimailho de Saint-Pierre-des-Corps pour son action syndicale. Elle est surnommée « la vierge noire » par son supérieur hiérarchique.

En 1920, elle est secrétaire adjointe du comité syndicaliste révolutionnaire de Tours. Brièvement adhérente au PCF, elle écrit des articles violents dans Le Réveil d'Indre-et-Loire.

En 1920, elle part pour Paris de juin à septembre. Elle vend des journaux pour survivre tant bien que mal, et souhaite réunir des fonds pour lancer une revue intitulée De l'acte individuel à l'acte collectif. Elle défend alors l'idée de l'action directe et de la vengeance sociale.

Elle rejoint l'Union anarchiste de Paris, puis le groupe des anarchistes individualistes du quatorzième arrondissement. Les anarchistes individualistes s'opposent au travail salarié, et forment un mouvement dispersé. Elle écrit des articles virulents dans plusieurs journaux, exprimant encore des positions antimilitaristes et révolutionnaires. Son article dans le journal communiste Le Réveil est particulièrement remarqué car elle lance des appels à la désertion :  La police mentionne sa présence au café La Rotonde à Montparnasse, un supposé repaire d'anarchistes. Le , au commissariat du Pré-Saint-Gervais, elle annonce avoir perdu ou s'être fait voler ses papiers d'identité, qui auraient d'après elle été déposés dans ce commissariat à son attention. Mécontente d'être éconduite, elle gifle le secrétaire du commissaire de police et est condamnée, le , à trois mois de prison et  d'amende. Elle est incarcérée à la prison de Saint Lazare et se trouve dans la même cellule que Madame Bermain de Ravisi.

Elle fréquente Louis Lecoin, anarchiste notoire, qui l'héberge avec sa compagne Marie Morand. Elle est employée au Libertaire où elle effectue des tâches administratives, mais où elle subtilise aussi des lettres, des mandats et de l'argent. Elle en est chassée. Elle développe par rapport à l'argent le comportement anarchiste de reprise ou d'égalisation des conditions, car elle considère que voler aux fortunés n'est pas du vol. Elle contracte également des dettes qu'elle ne rembourse pas. Dès 1922, elle ne travaille plus, et a des problèmes de santé, et avorte de plus dans des conditions difficiles. Elle tombe amoureuse d'un jeune anarchiste prénommé Armand, qui, appelé à l'armée, se suicide pour ne pas y aller. Cet évènement ravive son antimilitarisme et la conduit à préparer un coup contre l'Action française, dont Léon Daudet est l'un des membres influents. Les Camelots du roi sont en quelque sorte le service d'ordre de l'Action française. Germaine Berton considère qu'il y a un lien entre les activités de l'Action française et la montée du fascisme. L'Action française soutient également Poincaré dans son projet d'occupation de la Ruhr en 1923. Berton considère que Léon Daudet est responsable de l'assassinat de Jaurès. Elle fait des plans pour l'assassiner, mais finit par choisir Marius Plateau.

Ses idées et ses actions mettent en avant l'importance de l'égalité et de l'antimilitarisme dans ses actions.

Elle milite également dans le comité de Défense des marins de la mer Noire.

Assassinat de Marius Plateau

Le , elle assassine le secrétaire de la Ligue d'Action française Marius Plateau de cinq coups de revolver au siège de l'Action française à Paris. Elle avait d'abord souhaité s'en prendre à un dirigeant bien connu du mouvement nationaliste comme Charles Maurras ou Léon Daudet, mais c'est Plateau qui est victime de son attentat. Par la suite, Germaine Berton tente de se suicider pour échapper aux poursuites. À la police venue l'arrêter, elle déclare qu'elle a voulu venger Jaurès, Almereyda et protester contre l'occupation de la Ruhr.

Elle est emprisonnée pendant 11 mois à Saint-Lazare jusqu'à l'ouverture de son procès. À cette occasion elle fait la rencontre de Sœur Marie-Claudia. La religieuse lui indique ses doutes sur sa propre foi et  elles entament une correspondance à partir d'octobre 1923 :  « J'ai su dompter mon cœur à 16 ans et à 26  j'en suis incapable. Deux grandes puissances se réveillent, se révoltent de rester inactives : le cœur et l'intelligence ! Pourquoi Dieu rejette-il toutes mes demandes ? À quoi bon alors sacrifier un cœur, une nature ardente comme la mienne ? ». Gagnée à la cause de Germaine Berton, elle quitte les ordres en novembre pour rejoindre les amis de Germaine. La rencontre échoue, elle prend conseil auprès de son beau frère qui lui conseille de retourner au couvent. Ne voyant pas d'alternative, c'est ce qu'elle fait.

Son procès est très médiatisé et suscite une grande curiosité, un assassinat politique commis par une femme étant rare et suscitant des fantasmes dans la presse qui évoque notamment l'image d'une « Vierge rouge ». Elle est défendue par Henry Torrès qui plaide l'acquittement, demandant le même traitement que Raoul Villain, assassin de Jean Jaurès, acquitté quatre ans plus tôt : « Acquittez-la pour tout ce qu'elle représente d'abandon d'elle-même et de misère, acquittez-la comme vous aviez acquitté Villain. Paix pour tous. Il faut que celle-ci aille rejoindre Villain dans l'oubli et dans l'apaisement ». Bien qu'ayant revendiqué son crime, elle est acquittée le .

Durant la période du procès, le journal anarchiste Le Libertaire organise une campagne de solidarité pour soutenir Germaine Berton, et plusieurs militants anarchistes connus comme Séverine assistent au procès. Le numéro 210 ( - ) du journal n'hésite pas à parler de . Dans le même, les surréalistes prennent également la défense de la jeune anarchiste. Dans le numéro de février  de Littérature, Louis Aragon soutient totalement son geste, précisant que, face à un groupe qui menace la liberté, un individu peut « recourir aux moyens terroristes, en particulier au meurtre, pour sauvegarder, au risque de tout perdre, ce qui lui paraît  précieux au-delà de tout au monde ». Son portrait  fait également l'objet d'un photomontage publié dans le numéro du  de La Révolution surréaliste avec cet épigraphe de Baudelaire : . Germaine Berton a été, selon l'expression du biographe d'André Breton Mark Polizzotti,  à l'instar de Violette Nozière, incarnation de  selon l'expression de Breton rapportée à l'époque du procès par sa femme dans une lettre.

L'Action française dénonce lors du procès un complot « germano-bolchéviste » ; l'historienne Fanny Bugnon souligne que les royalistes ont tenté de s'appuyer sur le fait que Germaine Berton soit une jeune femme pour donner du crédit à l'hypothèse d'une machination des « agents de l'Allemagne, des Soviets et de la Finance internationale » dont elle n'aurait été que l'exécutante manipulée. L'Action française appelle en ce sens ses partisans à se mobiliser dès l'annonce de la mort de Marius Plateau. Les Camelots du roi vandalisent ainsi l'imprimerie du journal républicain et pacifiste L'Œuvre le soir même de l'assassinat et plusieurs milliers de royalistes défilent à l'occasion des funérailles. Le verdict du procès est dénoncé comme un « crime du jury » dans L'Action française.

Le geste de Germaine Berton a de grandes conséquences pour l'Action française puisque Marius Plateau souhaitait à l'époque structurer ce parti.

Acquittement et nouvelle arrestation
Après son acquittement, Berton entreprend une tournée de conférences. En 1924, elle est accueillie au sein du groupe anarchiste d'Aimargues. Le   Germaine Berton est à nouveau arrêtée. Condamnée à quatre mois de prison et  d'amende, elle est internée au fort du Hâ. Refusant la détention, elle fait la grève de la faim pendant huit jours et doit être transportée à l'hôpital Saint-André le  ; elle cesse la grève le 31. Durant cette période, Germaine Berton souffre de troubles mentaux et tente à plusieurs reprises de se suicider. Le journal Le Libertaire évoque l'amour qu'elle aurait porté à Philippe Daudet, mort l'année précédente, pour expliquer son geste.

Après cet épisode, Germaine Berton semble avoir abandonné ses activités militantes. Elle ne fréquente plus les milieux anarchistes. Elle se marie à Paris, le , avec Paul Burger, artiste-peintre né à Java en 1888, avant de le quitter en 1935 pour vivre dans le  de Paris avec René Coillot, un imprimeur. Elle ne fait plus parler d'elle jusqu'en 1942, lorsqu'elle absorbe volontairement une forte dose de Véronal ; elle meurt à l'hôpital Boucicaut à l'âge de 40 ans, quatre jours après la mort de Léon Daudet.

DRP committee reveals contenders for deputy leader posts
Five people have expressed interest in standing for three vacant deputy leader posts within the government-aligned Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party (DRP), according to local media.
Ahead of the DRP congress scheduled to run from April 23 to April 25, the party's Election Committee has said that MPs Ali Azim, Rozaina Adam and Mohamed Ramiz will be among those contesting for the posts, according to Sun Online.
Current Minister of Economic Development Ahmed Mohamed, as well as Deputy Minister of Fisheries and Agriculture Ali Solih are also expected to stand.
The committee also announced that 12 individuals had expressed interest in standing for six spots on the DRP's council that are reserved for members of the public.
According to Sun Online, the DRP election committee has opted against holding votes to appoint a president and vice president for its women's wing, along with a member of its Behavioural Committee as only one candidate had applied for each position.

Rumours of DRP leadership split "MDP media campaign", claims MP Mausoom
Opposition Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party (DRP) MP Dr Abdulla Mausoom has dismissed reports of a split in the DRP leaderships as "a media campaign conducted in the interests of" the ruling Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP).
Rumours of an internal dispute surfaced in the media on Thursday after the party issued conflicting statements about a protest planned for Friday night, which was later postponed due to bad weather.
After Deputy Leaders Umar Naseer and Ilham Ahmed informed media of the "Government For Sale" protest, DRP Secretariat Abdul Rasheed Nafiz sent out text messages to media claiming the party's leadership had not approved the decision.
DRP Media Coordinator Ali Solih told local daily Miadhu that action would be taken against the Deputy Leaders for "forging a press release" and announcing the protest before either the DRP leadership or the party's council approved it.
Umar Naseer however claims the four deputies had the authority to use the party's logo, letterhead or stamp.
Moreover, a resolution submitted to the DRP council by Umar Naseer and MPs Ilham, Ahmed Mahlouf and Ali Arif to terminate talks with the government has not been included in the agenda for tomorrow's council meeting.
"Solid and united"
"The last DRP council concluded very smoothly and its outcome was also very productive," said Mausoom. "I have not noticed that there are any disputes between the leadership of the party."
Mausoom claimed MDP was attempting to divide DRP's leadership as the ruling party stood to benefit from a weakened opposition.
"I said this recently also, during the speech I gave at DRP's first rally," Mausoom said. "MDP will seek loop holes to get through the party and will try to divide us."
"The bond between the party's leadership cannot be broken although they tried, for we are solid and stay united," he added.
The only hope MDP had of winning the presidential election in 2013 was if "DRP fell apart", said Mausoom.
"I am not saying MDP is spreading the rumor, but some people are attempting to divide the leadership with the interest of MDP in their minds."
Secretary General of MDP Ahmed Shah said he was saddened by Mausoom's comment.
"We have not been focusing on DRP, especially these days," Shah said. "We are mainly focusing on the upcoming local council elections and the whole MDP is busy on that."

Thasmeen to run for DRP's leadership
Vice president of the Dhivehi Rahyithunge Party (DRP) Ahmed Thasmeen Ali has announced that he will be running for the DRP's leadership, to be decided during the party's congress in February.
"From the advice I got from many people to serve the DRP, I decided to take part in the election," he said.
He thanked former president Gayoom for encouraging him to run for the leadership, and said that even though Gayoom had resigned, "the DRP still will be the same."
He said he expected to face many challenges, "and it will be very difficult to be the leader of the largest opposition party."
He condemned a statement released yesterday by the president's office noting the "stories of cruelty", "allegations of corruption" and "nepotism" of Gayoom's administration, and said "it is very sad that such a statement was released by the president following the resignation of a respected person like Gayoom."

Eva Kotátková, Speech Organ of Anna, A Girl Who Pronounces Words from the Middle, 2014. Performance view, Modern Art Oxford.

Modern Art Oxford
30 Pembroke Street
November 30, 2013–February 2, 2014
Using black-and-white collage, as well as film and live performances, Eva Kotátková playfully enacts the inner lives of Oxford University's student population in her current show at Modern Art Oxford. First, she constructs an installation comprising both large-scale prints of vintage photographs that have been doctored and marked and metal sculptures that alternately resemble doodles and diagraphs. Drawings that could be the notes of a frustrated researcher line the ground under these sculptures. Then, for her performance installation, Speech Organ of Anna, A Girl Who Pronounces Words from the Middle, 2014, an actress is strapped inside a spherical metal cage that's a bit like an enclosed hamster wheel; inside, she rolls around on an area of the floor that is paved with chalkboard, upon which a detached door and a ladder have been erected. These objects stay far removed from her activity in the wheel, as if inaccessible symbols of opportunity and escape.
Finally, as the exhibition's centerpiece—a weekly lecture-performance—an actor, assuming the role of a professor, delivers a monologue inspired by a talk that Kotátková's father (a professor of philosophy at Prague's Charles University and a visiting scholar at Oxford) delivered on literary narrative traditions from Balzac to Beckett. During the piece, hecklers planted in the audience intervene and argue with one another, the authors, and the professor. For the viewer, it is like watching live-action thesis writing. And for research scholars whose work is solitary and often haunted by similar angry internal debates with primary and secondary sources, Kotátková's performance cuts close to home. During several of the recent performances, audience members have reacted to the hecklers with resistance, discomfort, bemusement, and encouragement—perhaps animated by their own struggles with the scholarly process.

Home / Emergency Laparotomy
Emergency abdominal surgery is associated with high mortality rates from 14% to 19% in 3 large retrospective studies in the UK, US and Denmark. This rises to over 24% in patients over 80 years of age.
"Significant changes in both the use of goal-directed fluid therapy and admission to ICU were found across almost all of the participating sites. These two elements of the [ELPQuiC] bundle may have the greatest impact in reducing mortality in other hospitals and healthcare systems where these standards of care are not met routinely." (Huddart et al. 2014)
Description of Challenge
Role of Hemodynamic Monitoring
This vulnerable group responds well to a standardisation of care, and with clear guidelines both mortality and morbidity can be reduced, length of stay reduced and cost savings made.
2 recent studies using the LiDCO have shown a reduction in complications and length of stay when used to guide fluid and drug management as part of a pathway in emergency abdominal patients.
Guide fluid and drug management to maintain the optimal circulation and reducing the risks of complications.
Either passive leg raise or stroke volume/pulse pressure variation should be used to see if the patient is fluid responsive or not.
A fluid challenge guided by the response in the stroke volume should be used when fluids are given to prevent overfilling the patient.
If the patient is unresponsive to fluids with a low blood pressure then the appropriate drug can be used.

Reduced mortality – 5.97 more lives per 100 patients were saved.
Emergency laparotomies in the UK, USA, and Denmark are known to have a high risk of death, with accompanying evidence of suboptimal care. The emergency laparotomy pathway quality improvement care (ELPQuiC) bundle is an evidence-based care bundle for patients undergoing emergency laparotomy, consisting of: initial assessment with early warning scores, early antibiotics, interval between decision and operation less than 6 h, goal-directed fluid therapy and postoperative intensive care.
The ELPQuiC bundle was implemented in four hospitals, using locally identified strategies to assess the impact on risk-adjusted mortality. Comparison of case mix-adjusted 30-day mortality rates before and after care-bundle implementation was made using risk-adjusted cumulative sum (CUSUM) plots and a logistic regression model.
Risk-adjusted CUSUM plots showed an increase in the numbers of lives saved per 100 patients treated in all hospitals, from 6.47 in the baseline interval (299 patients included) to 12.44 after implementation (427 patients included) (P < 0.001). The overall case mix-adjusted risk of death decreased from 15.6 to 9.6 per cent (risk ratio 0.614, 95 per cent c.i. 0.451 to 0.836; P = 0.002). There was an increase in the uptake of the ELPQuiC processes but no significant difference in the patient case-mix profile as determined by the mean Portsmouth Physiological and Operative Severity Score for the enUmeration of Mortality and morbidity risk (0.197 and 0.223 before and after implementation respectively; P = 0.395).
Use of the ELPQuiC bundle was associated with a significant reduction in the risk of death following emergency laparotomy.

The LiDCOunity monitor is a single platform which combines both the LiDCOplus and LiDCOrapid functions. This provides a single solution to monitoring needs throughout the hospital. The clinician can choose which mode is most appropriate to the clinical situation. The LiDCOunity can be used non-invasively, minimally invasively with a radial arterial line and can be calibrated with the lithium dilution technique. Find out more
The LiDCOplus hemodynamic monitor provides a continuous, reliable and accurate assessment of the hemodynamic status of critical care and surgery patients. The LiDCOplus is comprised of two technologies: a continuous arterial waveform analysis system (PulseCO™) coupled to a single point lithium indicator dilution calibration system. Find out more
The LiDCOrapid monitor analyses the blood pressure waveform to provide more information in high-risk surgical and critically ill patients to help with fluid and drug management. The LiDCOrapid uses the PulseCO™ algorithm which converts blood pressure to its constituent parts of flow (CO, SV) and resistance (SVR). The PulseCO™ algorithm is scaled to each patient with a nomogram using age, height, and weight. Find out more

This week there are 5 companies going ex-dividend before Friday's expiration. They are: FDX, GE, LVS, MJN, and TIF.
Half of those are in-the-money (the ones with darker grey in the Call Strike column), and all of them have an annualized yield (including the dividend) of more than 22% (far right column).
Note: These are not recommendations. These are merely all the options that have ex-dividend dates before this Friday's expiration. You would need to research each to see if it is appropriate for your portfolio.
Note, too, that FDX has an earnings date on June 18 (before market opens) so if you don't want earnings risk you'll want to sell the stock before the close on June 17, rather than hold it until expiration. You can still collect the 20 cent dividend by buying the stock before the close on June 16 (the day before the ex-div date) and then selling it June 17 (the day of ex-div date). Consider the spread and your transaction costs before doing this, of course.

← What is Sin?
Abiding in the Vine, Part 1 →
"What is the meaning of the Parable of the Prodigal Son?"
Posted on April 24, 2012	by brakeman1
The Return of the Prodigal Son (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
The Parable of the Prodigal Son is found in Luke chapter 15, verses 11-32. The main character in the parable, the forgiving father, whose character remains constant throughout the story, is a picture of God. In telling the story, Jesus identifies Himself with God in His loving attitude to the lost. The younger son symbolizes the lost (the tax collectors and sinners of that day, Luke 15:1), and the elder brother represents the self-righteous (the Pharisees and teachers of the law of that day, Luke 15:2). The major theme of this parable seems not to be so much the conversion of the sinner, as in the previous two parables of Luke 15, but rather the restoration of a believer into fellowship with the Father. In the first two parables, the owner went out to look for what was lost (Luke 15:1-10), whereas in this story the father waits and watches eagerly for his son's return. We see a progression through the three parables from the relationship of one in a hundred (Luke 15:1-7), to one in ten (Luke 15:8-10), to one in one (Luke 15:11-32), demonstrating God's love for each individual and His personal attentiveness towards all humanity. We see in this story the graciousness of the father overshadowing the sinfulness of the son, as it is the memory of the father's goodness that brings the prodigal son to repentance (Romans 2:4).
We will begin unfolding the meaning of this parable at verse 12, in which the younger son asks his father for his share of his estate, which would have been half of what his older brother would receive; in other words, 1/3 for the younger, 2/3 for the older (Deuteronomy 21:17). Though it was perfectly within his rights to ask, it was not a loving thing to do, as it implied that he wished his father dead. Instead of rebuking his son, the father patiently grants him his request. This is a picture of God letting a sinner go his own way (Deuteronomy 30:19). We all possess this foolish ambition to be independent, which is at the root of the sinner persisting in his sin (Genesis 3:6; Romans 1:28). A sinful state is a departure and distance from God (Romans 1:21). A sinful state is also a state of constant discontent. Luke 12:15 says, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." This son learned the hard way that covetousness leads to a life of dissatisfaction and disappointment. He also learned that the most valuable things in life are the things you cannot buy or replace.
In verse 13 we read that he travels to a distant country. It is evident from his previous actions that he had already made that journey in his heart, and the physical departure was a display of his willful disobedience to all the goodness his father had offered (Proverbs 27:19; Matthew 6:21; 12:34). In the process, he squanders all his father had worked so hard for on selfish, shallow fulfillment, losing everything. His financial disaster is followed by a natural disaster in the form of a famine, which he failed to plan for (Genesis 41:33-36). At this point he sells himself into physical slavery to a Gentile and finds himself feeding pigs, a detestable job to the Jewish people (Leviticus 11:7; Deuteronomy 14:8; Isaiah 65:4; 66:17). Needless to say, he must have been incredibly desperate at that point to willingly enter into such a loathsome position. And what an irony that his choices led him to a position in which he had no choice but to work, and for a stranger at that, doing the very things he refused to do for his father. To top it off, he apparently was paid so little that he longed to eat the pig's food. Just when he must have thought life could not get any worse, he couldn't even find mercy among the people. Apparently, once his wealth was gone, so were his friends. The text clearly says, "No one gave him anything" (vs. 16). Even these unclean animals seemed to be better off than he was at this point. This is a picture of the state of the lost sinner or a rebellious Christian who has returned to a life of slavery to sin (2 Peter 2:19-21). It is a picture of what sin really does in a person's life when he rejects the Father's will (Hebrews 12:1; Acts 8:23). "Sin always promises more than it gives, takes you further than you wanted to go, and leaves you worse off than you were before." Sin promises freedom but brings slavery (John 6:23).
The son begins to reflect on his condition and realizes that even his father's servants had it better than he. His painful circumstances help him to see his father in a new light and bring him hope (Psalm 147:11; Isaiah 40:30-31; Romans 8:24-25; 1 Timothy 4:10). This is reflective of the sinner when he/she discovers the destitute condition of his life because of sin. It is a realization that, apart from God, there is no hope (Ephesians 2:12; 2 Timothy 2:25-26). This is when a repentant sinner "comes to his senses" and longs to return to the state of fellowship with God which was lost when Adam sinned (Genesis 3:8). The son devises a plan of action. Though at a quick glance it may seem that he may not be truly repentant, but rather motivated by his hunger, a more thorough study of the text gives new insights. He is willing to give up his rights as his father's son and take on the position of his servant. We can only speculate on this point, but he may even have been willing to repay what he had lost (Luke 19:8; Leviticus 6:4-5). Regardless of the motivation, it demonstrates a true humility and true repentance, not based on what he said but on what he was willing to do and eventually acted upon (Acts 26:20). He realizes he had no right to claim a blessing upon return to his father's household, nor does he have anything to offer, except a life of service, in repentance of his previous actions. With that, he is prepared to fall at his father's feet and hope for forgiveness and mercy. This is exactly what conversion is all about: ending a life of slavery to sin through confession to the Father and faith in Jesus Christ and becoming a slave to righteousness, offering one's body as a living sacrifice (1 John 1:9; Romans 6:6-18; 12:1).
Jesus portrays the father as waiting for his son, perhaps daily searching the distant road, hoping for his appearance. The father notices him while he was still a long way off. The father's compassion assumes some knowledge of the son's pitiful state, possibly from reports sent home. During that time it was not the custom of men to run, yet the father runs to greet his son (vs.20). Why would he break convention for this wayward child who had sinned against him? The obvious answer is because he loved him and was eager to show him that love and restore the relationship. When the father reaches his son, not only does he throw his arms around him, but he also greets him with a kiss of love (1 Peter 5:14). He is so filled with joy at his son's return that he doesn't even let him finish his confession. Nor does he question or lecture him; instead, he unconditionally forgives him and accepts him back into fellowship. The father running to his son, greeting him with a kiss and ordering the celebration is a picture of how our Heavenly Father feels towards sinners who repent. God greatly loves us, patiently waits for us to repent so he can show us His great mercy, because he does not want any to perish nor escape as though by the fire (Ephesians 2:1-10; 2 Peter 3:9; 1 Corinthians 3:15).
This prodigal son was satisfied to return home as a slave, but to his surprise and delight is restored back into the full privilege of being his father's son. He had been transformed from a state of destitution to complete restoration. That is what God's grace does for a penitent sinner (Psalm 40:2; 103:4). Not only are we forgiven, but we receive a spirit of sonship as His children, heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, of His incomparable riches (Romans 8:16-17; Ephesians 1:18-19). The father then orders the servants to bring the best robe, no doubt one of his own (a sign of dignity and honor, proof of the prodigal's acceptance back into the family), a ring for the son's hand (a sign of authority and sonship) and sandals for his feet (a sign of not being a servant, as servants did not wear shoes—or, for that matter, rings or expensive clothing, vs.22). All these things represent what we receive in Christ upon salvation: the robe of the Redeemer's righteousness (Isaiah 61:10), the privilege of partaking of the Spirit of adoption (Ephesians 1:5), and feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace, prepared to walk in the ways of holiness (Ephesians 6:15). A fattened calf is prepared, and a party is held (notice that blood was shed = atonement for sin, Hebrews 9:22). Fatted calves in those times were saved for special occasions such as the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 23:26-32). This was not just any party; it was a rare and complete celebration. Had the boy been dealt with according to the Law, there would have been a funeral, not a celebration. "The Lord does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him." (Psalm 103:10-13). Instead of condemnation, there is rejoicing for a son who had been dead but now is alive, who once was lost but now is found (Romans 8:1; John 5:24). Note the parallel between "dead" and "alive" and "lost" and "found"—terms that also apply to one's state before and after conversion to Christ (Ephesians 2:1-5). This is a picture of what occurs in heaven over one repentant sinner (Luke 10).
Now to the final and tragic character in the Parable of the Prodigal Son, the oldest son, who, once again, illustrates the Pharisees and the scribes. Outwardly they lived blameless lives, but inwardly their attitudes were abominable (Matthew 23:25-28). This was true of the older son who worked hard, obeyed his father, and brought no disgrace to his family or townspeople. It is obvious by his words and actions, upon his brothers return, that he is not showing love for his father or brother. One of the duties of the eldest son would have included reconciliation between the father and his son. He would have been the host at the feast to celebrate his brother's return. Yet he remains in the field instead of in the house where he should have been. This act alone would have brought public disgrace upon the father. Still, the father, with great patience, goes to his angry and hurting son. He does not rebuke him as his actions and disrespectful address of his father warrant (vs.29, "Look," he says, instead of addressing him as "father" or "my lord"), nor does his compassion cease as he listens to his complaints and criticisms. The boy appeals to his father's righteousness by proudly proclaiming his own self-righteousness in comparison to his brother's sinfulness (Matthew 7:3-5). By saying, "This son of yours," the older brother avoids acknowledging that the prodigal is his own brother (vs. 30). Just like the Pharisees, the older brother was defining sin by outward actions, not inward attitudes (Luke 18:9-14). In essence, the older brother is saying that he was the one worthy of the celebration, and his father had been ungrateful for all his work. Now the one who had squandered his wealth was getting what he, the older son, deserved. The father tenderly addresses his oldest as "my son" (vs. 31) and corrects the error in his thinking by referring to the prodigal son as "this brother of yours" (vs. 32). The father's response, "We had to celebrate," suggests that the elder brother should have joined in the celebration, as there seems to be a sense of urgency in not postponing the celebration of the brother's return.
The older brother's focus was on himself, and as a result there is no joy in his brother's arrival home. He is so consumed with issues of justice and equity that he fails to see the value of his brother's repentance and return. He fails to realize that "anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness. Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in him to make him stumble. But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness; he does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded him" (1 John 2:9-11). The older brother allows anger to take root in his heart to the point that he is unable to show compassion towards his brother, and, for that matter he is unable to forgive the perceived sin of his father against him (Genesis 4:5-8). He prefers to nurse his anger rather than enjoy fellowship with his father, brother and the community. He chooses suffering and isolation over restoration and reconciliation (Matthew 5:24; 6:14-15). He sees his brother's return as a threat to his own inheritance. After all, why should he have to share his portion with a brother who has squandered his? And why hadn't his father rejoiced in his presence through his faithful years of service?
The wise father seeks to bring restoration by pointing out that all he has is and has always been available for the asking to his obedient son, as it was his portion of the inheritance since the time of the allotment. The older son never utilized the blessings at his disposal (Galatians 5:22; 2 Peter 1:5-8). This is similar to the Pharisees with their religion of good works. They hoped to earn blessings from God and in their obedience merit eternal life (Romans 9:31-33; 10:3). They failed to understand the grace of God and failed to comprehend the meaning of forgiveness. It was, therefore, not what they did that became a stumbling block to their growth but rather what they did not do which alienated them from God (Matthew 23:23-24, Romans 10:4). They were irate when Jesus was receiving and forgiving "unholy" people, failing to see their own need for a Savior. We do not know how this story ended for the oldest son, but we do know that the Pharisees continued to oppose Jesus and separate themselves from His followers. Despite the father's pleading for them to "come in," they refused and were the ones who instigated the arrest and crucifixion of Jesus Christ (Matthew 26:59). A tragic ending to a story filled with such hope, mercy, joy, and forgiveness.
The picture of the father receiving the son back into relationship is a picture of how we should respond to repentant sinners as well (1 John 4:20-21; Luke 17:3; Galatians 6:1; James 5:19-20). "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). We are included in that "all," and we must remember that "all our righteous acts are like filthy rags" apart from Christ (Isaiah 64:6; John 15:1-6). It is only by God's grace that we are saved, not by works that we may boast of (Ephesians 2:9; Romans 9:16; Psalm 51:5). That is the core message of the Parable of the Prodigal Son.

GATORS' LAST TWO SEASONS AMOUNT TO GROWING PAINS
CRAIG BARNES, Staff WriterSUN-SENTINEL
TALLAHASSEE -- From Florida's perspective, the last two seasons have been sacrificed to put depth and maturity back into a program destroyed by NCAA sanctions.
The Gators have redshirted 41 players. Some of those could have helped improve a pair of 6-5 seasons, both ending in a loss to Florida State.
No loss to the Seminoles in the 31-game series was as bad as Saturday's 52-17 defeat.
"In 1985 and 1986 when we were under NCAA sanctions in recruiting, Florida State got an edge, and it's making a difference," Florida coach Galen Hall said.
From the 1985 and 1986 recruiting classes, Florida State has 13 starters and 10 additional players who contribute sufficiently. Florida has six starters and seven additional contributors.
Yet the Gators (6-5) are still headed for a Dec. 29 All American Bowl matchup against 6-4-1 Illinois. Last year, the Gators played in the Aloha Bowl.
"The difference is the depth caused by Florida State's better recruiting numbers," Hall said. "The NCAA probation hurt us, but we've had two good recruiting years and expect another."
Florida's defense carried the Gators most of the season, but it didn't against Florida State.
"We didn't anticipate them being as strong as they were," said linebacker Joey Nicoletto. "We really underestimated them, and it showed in the score.
"They hit us at spots where we were the weakest. We had the biggest breakdowns since I've been here."
Florida entered the game allowing 111 yards per game on the ground, 119 passing and 231 yards and 12 points overall.
The Seminoles had 250 yards rushing, 164 passing for 414.
"They were awesome when we played them last year (FSU won 28-14))" Nicoletto said, "and they're still awesome. When they play Auburn in the Sugar Bowl, it should be a tremendous game. I can't wait to see it."
All-America safety Louis Oliver, who played despite a dislocated elbow, said the Gators got what they earned.
"We didn't earn any respect," Oliver said, "and they didn't give us any. It's embarrassing.


Join Keith Gilbert for an in-depth discussion in this video Next steps, part of InDesign: Fixed-Layout EPUB Interactive Techniques & Publish Online.

Along the way, Keith offers tips to make your workflow more efficient and fun.


Hints And Tips / What is Rhesus Disease?
Rhesus disease is also known as Haemolytic Disease of the Foetus and Newborn (HDFN). It is a condition caused by an incompatibility between the mother's blood and that of her unborn child and, in severe cases, can increase the risk of foetal heart disease and stillbirth. Once one of the major causes of perinatal mortality, the implementation of routine anti-D immunoglobulin injections for those women most at risk, means that incidence is now thought to be less than 0.1% in developed countries.
HDFN occurs when anti-D antibodies in the mother's blood recognise the baby's red blood cells as foreign particles and destroy them. It can only happen when the mother is rhesus negative, the baby is rhesus positive and the mother has been previously sensitised to rhesus positive blood. But, what does that actually mean?
Most people are aware of the four major blood groups, A, B, AB and O. We all fall into one of these categories and the specific one will determine which blood we can donate and/or receive during a blood transfusion. However, fewer people are probably aware that their blood is either rhesus positive (RhD positive), or rhesus negative (RhD negative), depending on whether or not they express the rhesus D antigen on the surface of their red blood cells. Current estimates put the prevalence of RhD positive:RhD negative at 85%:15%. Most of the time it will not matter whether you are positive or negative; however, if you are RhD negative and you fall pregnant with a baby that is RhD positive there is a chance that your unborn child will develop rhesus disease.
It is important to note that this can only happen if the mother has already been exposed, or sensitised, to RhD positive blood, which will usually have occurred during a previous pregnancy, most frequently if there is bleeding during the delivery. If sensitisation has occurred, upon detection of 'foreign' RhD positive blood, the mother's immune system will immediately respond, producing antibodies that can cross the placenta and enter the baby's bloodstream. The baby will likely become anaemic and jaundice is common. In very severe cases, a condition called hydrops fetalis can develop, which is when the baby's organs are unable to compensate for the anaemia; fluid accumulates and the baby is at risk of heart failure. This condition is associated with the pregnancy complication polyhydramnios.
Fortunately, severe complications are very rare these days, due mainly to the discovery that certain people have blood that contains a specific antigen, which can be used to make anti-D immunoglobulin. This can be used to prevent women becoming sensitised to RhD positive blood. All women undergo blood tests during the early stages of pregnancy and one of the things that these test for is rhesus status. Women who are found to be RhD negative will routinely be offered an anti-D vaccination at approximately 28 weeks of pregnancy.
Certain scenarios increase a mother's risk of becoming sensitised, including, bleeding during pregnancy, undergoing invasive tests, such as an amniocentesis, and experiencing a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. In these cases an additional anti-D injection will usually be recommended. If given within 72 hours, the mother will not have time to produce any antibodies and, thus, sensitisation will be avoided. If the mother is already sensitised then anti-D injections will be ineffective and instead she will be carefully monitored throughout the pregnancy. Early identification of potential problems can mean prompt treatment. One of the symptoms of anaemia in an unborn child is a thinning of the blood. This means the blood moves more quickly, a change easily identified using a Doppler ultrasound. In severe cases, it is even possible to carry out a blood transfusion on an unborn child (intrauterine foetal blood transfusion), using a needle which is carefully inserted through the abdomen into the umbilical cord.
Perhaps the take home message should be to highlight the value of donating blood. The serendipitous discovery that a small number of people express a rare antigen that can be used to make an effective anti-D immunisation, has saved countless lives.

We are both entrepreneurs and let's face it, we're in business to make money. Without customers and clients, there is no money to be made and without any money there is really no business. Whether you think the market is saturated or you just aren't getting enough traffic to your website, you must always be looking to attract new customers to keep your pipeline full. This goes for seasoned entrepreneurs and new holistic businesses who are just getting started.
Attracting new customers starts with knowing who you ideal customer is, or what we like to refer to as your Kismet Clientele™. If you know who they are, then you just might be able to figure out where they are hanging out--online.
With 1.34 billion people on Facebook, it's probably safe to say your ideal customer is hanging out there. They might have joined some Facebook groups or perhaps they are ranting in the newsfeed, whatever they are doing, they are looking to be distracted and entertained. I think it's safe to say, marketing your holistic business on Facebook is a good idea.
Using the newsfeed as a tool to drive traffic back to your site is a great way to get new customers to discover who you are and what you do. However, if all you have is a couple hundred friends and few thousand fans on your Facebook fan page, it might be difficult to bring in new customers without advertising.
Facebook advertising is becoming more and more popular to driving new customers to your landing page and/or website, but why not take it a step further. You might already be sharing valuable content on your website, why continue to share your blog posts all over the web and cookie your visitors with a pixel. Why?
People who have already heard of you (or in this case, visited your website) are more inclined to visit again and are far more likely to buy from you than someone who have never heard of you. Facebook retargeting advertising become a valuable resource to finding new customers or convert old browsers into paying clients. Win win!
You and I both know blogs are a hot commodity when growing a business. This would include blogs you have written and shared and blogs that you frequently visit for inspiration. Finding blogs that share your target audience is one of the best kept secrets to internet marketing.
With domain specific advertising, you are able to targeting blogs and high traffic websites and have your advertisements show up. Think of how many new customers you could attract from your advertisement being displayed on the Huffington Post, Refinery 29, and even Fitness Magazine! There are a zillion of website that display advertisements, there is absolutely no reason why one of those ads couldn't be yours.
Take a moment to hop on over to Bloglovin and write down 50 blogs (have have advertisements on them) that you believe your ideal customer is hanging out. Set-up an advertising campaign and target those specific websites. You'll have new customers and more traffic in no time!
Authority sites are a huge asset to any entrepreneur because authority sites provide instant information and expertise that is essential to any internet browser. Each day all of us spend time "Googling" questions and phrases into that tiny box hoping to find a solution to our problems. Turns out, your ideal customer is doing the exact same thing.
While your website may not come up on the first page of Google search results yet, that doesn't mean it never will or that it's the end of the road for you. In fact, most authority sites have advertisements on their website because their main source of revenue is affiliate marketing and to monetize their information with (you got it) advertising.
Having your advertisement show up on an authority site (which is really just a high traffic niche website) that fits your ideal customer profile is a win situation for attracting new customers. Start by making a list of all the authority sites you believe your ideal customers is browsing and target these sites in your advertising efforts. The best way to discover these sites is to hop on over to Google, type in the keywords search you believe your audience is typing and click on all the results on the first page results. Write down the url for each website that has advertising and you believe is an authority sites.
Remember, authority sites are the websites that provide value-- not just some gimmicky website that is trying to sell you something.
Attracting new customers is as easy as putting together an advertising campaign that targets the past visitors, Facebook folks, and internet browsers who are searching for solutions to their problems. If you need help setting up your advertising web-based and retargeting Facebook advertising campaigns, please looking into joining The Club.
