Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050
by Zaara 08, Dec 2020
In November 2015, Sheikh Mohammed launched the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy to produce 75% of its energy obligations from clean sources by 2050. The initiative also aims to make Dubai a global center of clean energy and a green economy. Under this plan, up to AED600 billion will be invested in generating power from clean energy sources. The strategy is set to revolutionize the energy division over the next three decades with a dedication to sustainability in energy conservation, and an overarching goal to have the smallest carbon footprint in the world by the year 2050. The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) will guarantee the demand management and economic value of the strategy.
Dubai is currently the top-performing city in the Middle-East, according to the Sustainable Cities Index report. The report provided by design consultancy Arcadis ranks cities by three sustainability factors: people, planet, and profit.
Coming to the crux of the matter, the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy involves five main pillars. They are explained as under -
1. Infrastructure
The first pillar includes initiatives such as Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park. It is said to be the largest generator of alternative energy in the world from a single location with a capacity to provide 5,000 MW by 2030, which is 25% of the total energy production in Dubai as estimated. The infrastructure pillar also involves the establishment of a new free zone under the name 'Dubai Green Zone' committed to attracting research and development centers and developing companies in the field of clean energy.
2. Legislation
This centers on the establishment of a legislative structure supporting clean energy policies in two phases. The first part would be completed through the Shams Dubai initiative that strives to encourage building owners to place solar panels on the roofs and connect them to the main network of DEWA. The second part involves coordination with the Dubai Municipality to announce a set of decisions on the integration of consumption rationalization technology and energy production and the provision to install solar panels on the roofs of all buildings in the Emirate by 2030.
3. Dubai Green Fund
The third pillar is linked to funding solutions for investment in analysis and development on clean energy and its utilization. This pillar comprises the establishment of 'Dubai Green Fund' worth of AED 100 billion, which will contribute through its financial resources simple loans for investors in the clean energy sector in the Emirate at decreased interest rates.
4. Building Capacities and Skills
The fourth pillar intends to make human resources capabilities through global coaching programs in the field of clean energy in cooperation with global corporations and institutes like International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) as well as worldwide companies and R&D centers.
5. Environment-Friendly Energy Mix
The fifth pillar is targeted on making an environment-friendly energy mix involving solar energy 25%, nuclear power 7%, clean coal 7%, and gas 61% by 2030. The mix will steadily increase the utilization of clean energy sources to 75% by 2050, making Dubai the city with the least 'carbon footprint' city in the world.
To make Dubai Clean Energy and these five-pillar under it successful, many important initiatives have been taken into consideration. One of which is the "Smart Initiatives". It includes -
Connecting solar energy to houses and buildings
Smart applications via smart grid and meters
Infrastructure and electric vehicles charging stations
Apart from this, DEWA has also launched an AED500 million Innovative Center with research and development labs in the field of clean energy.
The growth and initiatives taken by the government of the UAE will help entrepreneurs, startups, and established businesses to expand their business or start their company in the Emirates.

December Love Song: Facket Strejkar
by coldwarnightlife December 25, 2019
written by coldwarnightlife December 25, 2019
One of the great things about Chris & Cosey is that the project was partly artistic and partly romantic. The love affair between the two musicians is what took them out of Throbbing Gristle and into each other's arms.
The same combination of oscillators and hormones is evident in the work of Facket Strejkar. The combination of Cynthia Stern and Karin Bolin Derne is an unending affaire de coeur on record and in real life. It is great to see and to hear.
Stern will be known to some as one half of the fabled Stockholm group, Colouroid, and its home label, Flexiwave. The project relocated to Berlin, but it only lasted as long as the relationship between Stern and his graphic artist partner. When that ended, Stern's focus changed to the club night and label, Varvet, which has now released a single from his project with Bolin Derne, Facket Strejkar.
"Liebemelodie" is song about the feelings between the two musicians. Bolin Derne's voice is crucial to the sound and the story, and fans of her work with Alison and as a solo artist will recognise the emotional rawness in this recording.
While cueing "Liebemelodie" on the turntable, we asked the young lovers of Facket Strejkar to fill us in on some of their activities.
How did two Swedes end up in Berlin, patrolling the night and making heavy duty beats?
STERN: Well, I moved here through my old job with my ex-wife, with whom I also had the label, FlexiWave, and the band, Colouroid. Then, on my mega-super birthday rave, when i turned 38, this magnificent lady showed up and we became best friends instantly. Quite some time after that, romance and the music came along. It is, however, weird that we both grew up not far from each other but we had never met until that night. We blame Hannes and Luke Eargoggle for all of this.
BOLIN DERNE: We were obviously not supposed to meet before we did, because we went to the same venues and festivals for decades without even knowing each other, which is a mystery in itself. I started to go to Berlin regularly in 2012, because I wanted to be able to be more into the electronic music scene, see more concerts and feel the vibe of new and old electronic and industrial music.
In Gothenburg, which is a mecca for the electro scene, I met people mentioning Cynthia's name; and also people from Börft in Karlskrona and from Stockholm never shut up about this guypunkgirl/villain called Cynthia Stern. Then I went on holiday, the 2nd of July, 2016, and my friend told me he just got booked for this amazing birthday bash party in Berlin and put me on the guest list (he forgot). I met this shy, busy guy inside who told me I said, "Happy Birthday," one or two times too many. The rest is history. He is the love of my life, my muse and my best friend.
You have both been in bands that could be called poptronica: Colouroid and Alison, to name two. How did you settle on techno as your medium?
STERN: I come from a techno background, and, together with Leaf, was one of the first Jungle DJs in Gothenburg. Then I met my acid and techno mentor, MomentH. I released my first record in '97, together with J.Antoni, under the name, Urban Electro Squad. I started the label, input – output, in '99, and then it just went on from that. I have met so many great artists and friends during the years, touring. However, I got sick of not be able to know if I could pay my rent living in Stockholm. I decided to give music a break and met Ella [Moe], with whom I founded the band and label.
Moving to Berlin was the best thing: playing techno again; and, at the same time, doing the FlexiWave nights together with Aufnahme + Wiedergabe. It all boosted me again and got me to start the label and club, Varvet. However, I would not say that Facket Strejkar is techno. It's something else that comes from both our backgrounds in a magical mix.
Liebemelodie by Facket Strejkar
BOLIN DERNE: Ha – interesting question! I used to piss on techno – literally, piss on techno – from my first rave in 1992 until a moment in a stair case in Berlin, my first visit there, in the Golden Gate club (heh – yes!) in 2012, when I suddenly stopped in a middle of a step and asked my friend, "What the hell is this?" He said, "Karin, this is dark, new techno," and I decided to come out of my piss bubble and start to listen. I had never used a sequencer in my life before I came into the studio (which I am now a official partner of) in Berlin because I am an old drummer (since 10 years of age). I used to hate them, but then I started to see all beloved machines in a new light. Call it inspiration or serendipity, but I was like a kid in a candy shop, starting to see all equipment in a new way; and then we just started to work in a totally different manner than I was use to, but it was still the same. It might sound weird, but I didn't change anything about my work style, but I changed everything. I introduced Triols to Cynthia and could pay tribute so much to this very knowledgeable man of techno, and we both felt, "Wow, we have serious fun, and – god damn! – this funk works."
What kind of machinery are you using (elegant or otherwise)?
STERN: Well, how much time do you have? We share a studio in Berlin with Headless Horseman, Frank (TCMF) and Steffen, the latter both engineers at Native Instruments. The place is packed with gear. But, for me, the first go-to is one of the SH-101s and the 808.
BOLIN DERNE: I love to talk about machines – I never stop! I bought the Moog Grandmother last year, and she is a beast! I want to be buried with her! The 808 is a key member of our crew, along with the 101, the Prophet 6, Juno 2, DX 11, the Sem, the Eventide pedals and, of course, Cynthia's Moog Voyager. If I can just add a Kawai R100 drum machine, I will feel complete.
What are your plans for Facket Strejkar?
STERN: We have our synthpop 7" called "Liebemeloide" on the Varvet label. After that, we have got our Ebm-ish/techno-ish 12" called "LS" as a tribute to the IFK Gothenburg supporters with remixes from The Horrorist, Bizz O.D. and Blush Response. Also, we are working on a remix for the brilliant UK bleeps and bass producer, Lukes Anger, aka Duke Slammer of Bonus Round and Don't fame.
BOLIN DERNE: I think we are ten years ahead of our time. We have this strange and wonderfully weird sound of the past and the undiscovered future that people will be able to fully understand a good number of years ahead. Its a blessing and a curse at the same time. But, since Cynthia is a star, and I am the eternal dark horse, speaking of celebrity (because I hate to be a frekking star or famous and I still love when people recognise my work and who I am as a person) we will do rocket style and take off sooner than soon. But in our own style.
Do you intend to do work in other styles? Would that still be Facket Strejkar material?
STERN: We don't have any style – we are Facket Strejkar. Not even our friends can pinpoint what we do.
BOLIN BERNE: We mix Aphex Twin with Fad Gadget and Prince with Alison Moyet and Autechre with Erasure and DAF with Neil Landstrumm. Taking the electronic music bit by bit together, scene by scene, sound by sound – just add water and stir.
Do you have any plans to work together with other artists?
STERN: Yes, we have so many studio jams and sessions with different people such as Khan, The Horrorist, Second Storey, Benjamin from Tok Tok, and random friends. Also, I'm hoping to get Tarrida and Subhead over soon to do an Xtras004 12".
BOLIN DERNE: Oh yes, we both love it and we intend to this more and more. We both are working with other artists on our own, and we intend to collaborate both as solo artists and as Facket Strejkar. We have a banger coming up, including amazing artists from Philadelphia, Washington and Berlin.
Bonus question, for 10 points: Where did it all go wrong for Depeche Mode?
STERN: Depeche for me looks like a mountain: like this /\ with violator on top…
BOLIN DERNE: It started with an ad in Melody Maker. It ended with a speedball and the loss of the greatest synthesiser wizard – a sad farewell – and not necessarily in that order. I think Christoffer Berg from my hometown, Gothenburg, did the best work on Delta Machine, a favourite album since Alan Wilder;s work on Violator. But it took off with Alan and it ended the same way. I love them so much, and I always will. I actually see myself as an Alan Wilder in Facket Strejkar; the way I believe he thought of sound settings for different parts of a track. He is a great inspiration and so are the rest of the boys. Yes, immer, boys.

Футбо́льный матч Белору́ссия — Нидерла́нды состоялся 7 июня 1995 года в Минске. В матче отборочного турнира чемпионата Европы 1996 года в группе 5 встречались сборные Белоруссии и Голландии. Матч прошёл на минском стадионе «Динамо» в присутствии 37 тысяч зрителей. Вошёл в историю как самая значительная победа белорусской сборной: впервые в своей истории команда Белоруссии взяла верх над сборной, посеянной во время жеребьёвки отборочного турнира чемпионата Европы в первой корзине.

Положение перед матчем
Для сборной Белоруссии это был первый отборочный цикл. После серии успешных выступлений в товарищеских матчах болельщики ожидали проверки в официальных матчах. Однако после минимального поражения в гостях от Норвегии 0:1 и победы дома над Люксембургом 2:0 последовали сокрушительное поражение дома от Норвегии 0:4 и в гостях от Чехии 2:4, а также домашняя ничья с Мальтой 1:1.

Сборная Голландии боролась за выход из группы с Чехией и Норвегией и до матча дважды победила Люксембург 4:0 и 5:0, Мальту 4:0, в гостях сыграла вничью с Норвегией 1:1 и уступила Чехии по сумме двух матчей (0:0 дома и 1:3 в гостях). Турнирное положение не позволяло голландцам терять очки.

Сборная Голландии имела и психологическое преимущество — больше половины стартового состава, представлявшие амстердамский «Аякс», двумя неделями раньше победили в Лиге чемпионов.

Отчёт о матче

Гол
Голевая атака развивалась правым флангом. Качуро дал пас вперёд в район угла штрафной набравшему ход Герасимцу. Голкипер гостей Эдвин ван дер Сар, для которого этот матч стал дебютным в национальной сборной, выскочил ему навстречу, но Герасимец на скорости обошёл вратаря, сместившись при этом к бровке, и затем с острого угла ударом мимо пытавшихся успеть на перехват де Кока и Блинда поразил пустые ворота.

После матча
6 сентября 1995 в Роттердаме состоялась ответная игра. Игра прошла с обоюдными шансами, а на 77-й минуте за фол последней надежды был удалён Винтер. Однако гол забили голландцы — Мюлдер на 84-й минуте. Голландия победила со счётом 1:0.

В итоге Голландия заняла 2-е место в группе, набрав 20 очков и уступив 1 очко Чехии и опередив Норвегию по дополнительным показателям. В стыковом матче Голландия победила Ирландию со счётом 2:0 и вышла в финальную часть турнира.

Сборная Белоруссии заняла в группе 4-е место (11 очков).

Buying a house from foreclosure listings can be a great way to buy a home or investment property at a huge discount! Why don't more people take advantage of this untapped market of houses? Largely this is as a result of lack of know-how about the process or fear from misinformation they may have heard about buying a foreclosure. Foreclosuresearch.ca is a fantastic resource to learn all about the foreclosure market and how best to negotiate a deal that suits your unique needs. Click on the banner below to learn how to get a trial offer of Red Lake foreclosure listings.
How can I find foreclosures in Red Lake?
This saves me a lot of time and effort. I don't have to search the internet for hours looking at different Realtors websites combing through houses in Red Lake that are certainly not foreclosures or don't fit what I am searching for.
Other options for finding foreclosed apartments is to speak to your local bank to see if they are carrying properties in their portfolio or to contact a local Realtor that concentrates in foreclosure listings. Many Realtors will list just about any property they can get their hands on but they may not be well versed in the foreclosure purchasing process so you need to be educated before going in.
How to buy a foreclosed house in Red Lake with bad credit.
Let me start off by saying that buying a foreclosed house in Red Lake with bad credit is conceivable!
Research federal home buying programs. After the global economic crisis the last few years, banks have started to loosen up their lending requirements again at the prompting of governments to allow homebuyers the option of experiencing homeownership. There are many programs readily available again to enable those with low incomes or unsatisfactory credit to buy homes. Your local housing authority office should be able to assist if you don't find what you need on the net.
Search for properties in Red Lake and look for loans with low down payments. Save up money for your down payment but expect to pay a somewhat higher interest rate because of your lower credit score. You should be able to remortgage in a couple of years after making on time payments to get a lower rate.
How you can buy a foreclosed condo in Red Lake, ON.
Next, find condos in Red Lake, ON that you are interested in. Find a Realtor that specializes in foreclosures and will be able to help you through the technique of buying.
How long does it take to buy a foreclosure in Red Lake?
If you are investing in a property through a mortgage then the closing process takes a small amount longer. My practical experience has been about thirty days to closing, which is pretty standard when purchasing a property. The key is to obtain your down payment to the bank quickly and arrange monies to pay your closing costs. Any paperwork that the bank sends you should be filled out promptly and sent back to expedite the process.
Often a foreclosed property in Red Lake ON has sat uninhabited for a while so maintenance has been neglected and will need to be looked after immediately.
Sometimes, just because the title has transferred to a new owner doesn't mean that all problems have vanished. This is the significance of having a title search done prior to buying a property due to the fact that liens or lawsuits could be attached to the property and you could inherit them without understanding it.
Are Red Lake repo homes good or bad?
There are numerous things you may not know about the power of sale. When do you know you are confronted with a power of sale or foreclosure in Red Lake, and how do you know if it is the right financial investment for you? Provided listed below are responses to seven commonly asked questions relating to the power of sale, and how it can help you make informed purchases in Ontario.
This is a term that not many everyday people have heard of. But if you are interested in buying real estate, especially those on the foreclosure market, then you want to be familiar with this term. A power of sale is a clause that is composed into a home loan which allows the lending institution to offer the residential or commercial property in the event of default to repay the home loan financial obligation. It technically is the clause that enables foreclosure on a house when a debt is not paid. This type of sale occurs so that the loan provider, which is typically a bank, can recuperate losses that they sustained by the loan default.
A power of sale likewise refers to the power expressed or implied in a trust agreement permitting the trustee to sell the financial investment making up the trust.
Generally, this provision in a home mortgage or trust enables the lending institution to sell the property without going to court to do so. It is a type of shortcut to permit healing simpler and much faster. For those seeking to acquire foreclosed house, this is much easier as the lending institution does not have to go through the courts to make the sale take place.
If you are planning to purchase a power of sale foreclosure home, there are some advantages. This includes an expedited procedure. Typically a foreclosure through the courts can take a lot of time; whereas those that go through a contract clause can be much quicker.
It is actually simpler than you think to find power of sale homes. In Ontario, as in all of Canada, the normal procedure is to sell the home by power of sale, which differs from most of the United States which tends to go through the courts for a foreclosure. Usually, when a home is being offered through power of sale, it in fact goes through a realtor. That makes it easy to find houses under power of sale. A real estate agent, or other property websites, will likely have listings of power of sale homes in your area.
It is a fantastic choice to purchase power for sale foreclosures in Red Lake Ontario. The process is quite quick and simple. The process for the sale is usually set out in the home mortgage, so they might differ a little bit differently for homes depending on the lending institution.
In Ontario, there are two kinds of power for sale – legal and statutory. A legal power of sale is when the mortgage documents have actually included the power of sale provision. A statutory power of sale is when the power of sale provisions is not included, however these are really uncommon.
The residential or commercial property can be sold by auction, personal contract, or by tender. The property is usually noted with a realtor and placed on the market for sale utilizing several listing service (MLS).
The ownership of the home will alter hands only if the home is offered. This is likewise not a fire sale, although it is quicker than a court procedure. The deals from the purchasers like you are carefully examined, and the current owner might ask for an accounting.
One of the best methods to discover a power for sale listing in Red Lake is to use an excellent MLS. These services are offered on line and offer an extreme amount of listings so that you can discover the specific house you are looking for.

Purchasing power of sale homes can be an excellent profitable business if done correctly. Visit them or your local realty representative to learn more about power of sale houses.


But as audiences' content consumption becomes more and more complex, it's no longer a question of which one to use — finding the right mix between the two has become the more integral pursuit.
Below, we give you a rundown of what each one can do for your brand, its pros and cons, how to create it, and find the right mix.
Topical content (also referred to as seasonal or timely) is content that provides relevant, timely, and targeted information.
It can be time-based (based on specific seasons like summer) or event-based (Valentine's, World Cup, St. Patrick's Day). Despite being most relevant during a specific point in time, both can be planned ahead of time.
Last year, an even shorter-lived type of topical content came to prominence, as users shifted to producing and consuming ephemeral content.
In case you're unfamiliar with the term, ephemeral content are the Stories you see on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat—those that disappear after 24 hours.
Apart from having the benefits of typical seasonal content (relevance, timeliness), ephemeral content also brings with it a sense of authenticity and exclusivity that an increasing number of people have become inclined towards.
It also touches on audiences' omnipresent FOMO, which makes clicking on those circles on the top of your feeds even more appealing, since it'll be gone tomorrow.
In contrast to topical, evergreen content is designed to be always useful and of interest to audiences, and is unlikely to be immediately dated.
Now when we know the difference let's dive in how to create and make use of these different content formats.
Apart from circling dates and events that you can produce content about, planning ahead to ensure that seasonal content is live and indexed before target dates is crucial to timing your content posting perfectly.
As pointed out by The Search Agency, search engine indexation can take time, so merely posting content about the NBA Finals a week before Game 1 may have already led to you missing the crucial window of opportunity.
I suggest that you give yourself around four to six months to strategize about that sweet spot of when to post.
There are tools available that can help you discover when seasonal interests peak and drop. These tools can provide you with information of what your target audience is searching for, and when they're searching for it.
Google AdWords, for example, helps you find specific queries of your audience, and also allows you to segment the data by date and location.
When it comes to finding seasonal patterns, Google Trends is one of the most helpful tools you can use. By seeing when the search for a particular event (like Father's Day) begins to gain momentum, falls, and rises back up again, you can get an idea of when best to time the posting of related content.
At first glance, certain events and holidays may not seem apt for certain brands. For instance, while it may not seem like a car maintenance business could pair with Valentine's Day, content that reminds people to avoid breakdowns during a thoughtfully planned romantic date could get an audience's attention.
Oreo may not be something you associate with a massive sporting event like the Super Bowl. But Oreo did a clever move during the Super Bowl power outage with their tweet. There are opportunities to be found if you just practice a little creativity. The tweet that said "you can still dunk in the dark" garnered 525 million earned impressions.
You need to be able to catch, and more importantly, hold on to your audience's attention within the first few seconds of your ephemeral content.
So if it's about promoting a special offer, get straight to the point; if it's a behind the scenes look at an event, let them know what they're looking at. You have an extremely small window to make your content work for you, make every second count.
The yearning for more authenticity is one of the main reasons users have increasingly leaned towards consuming Stories.
While it's important to catch their attention right away, you don't have to worry yourself with overly curated content. Depending on your goals, sometimes, the more personal your content feels like, the more it'll resonate with your audience.
You need to make sure that your topics qualify as evergreen. While it may sound simple, there's bit of creativity required to doing so. This list of 100 evergreen content ideas will help to kickstart your creativity.
Kinsta gives a great example of how this manifests when it comes to an e-commerce site selling furniture. While you may think that writing blogs on specific designs and models, or even reviews on them would count as evergreen, they're only valuable for as long as those products are available.
Alternatively, if you write a blog on "how to remove stains from a velvet sofa," it adds to the lifecycle of the topic exponentially. On the same note, use the strategy of unpopular keywords to get even more value.
Similar to topical, there are available marketing tools you can use to identify potential topics for your evergreen content.
Buzzsumo, for example, allows you to type in a keyword and find articles related to it according to what's most shared, trending now, and the backlinks included, among others. The same tools can also be used to analyze how your content is performing, and how to improve them.
Other userful tools: SEMrush and Google Trends. Once you have evergreen content ready, don't forget to make most of it by sharing it multiple times to your social feeds using Hiplay.
Though evergreen content, by definition, is meant to last far longer than seasonal ones, it doesn't mean that it shouldn't be refreshed. This is particularly applicable to the resources you use. Make sure that stats or studies you cite are the most recent ones to ensure that your content stays relevant and valuable to your audience.
Another common issue is what some links or photos that you have used in the evergreen content might expire. You should revisit your posts from time to time and update links where needed.
This is one of the main reasons seasonal content is so appealing to marketers. A well-crafted content on the "best summer holiday destinations" will always be something people will be attracted to as they begin to plan their vacations. The "best gadgets under $150," when posted at the most opportune time, will be something audiences will find interesting as any gift-giving season nears.
Of course, if you think that it's a good idea to post "Top 10 Takeaways from the World Cup 2018," an ocean of other people do too. And if you're going to be running a seasonal campaign, not only is it going to be more expensive; you're also going to have to deal with the high keyword competition. So if you want to get noticed when you jump on a seasonal bandwagon, you're going to have to get ultra-creative.
There are certain high-traffic seasons that will inevitably be good for your metrics, particularly if you take the time to properly plan the crafting and launch of your content. It's a great way to attract new audiences that could potentially come back even when the seasons change.
Yes, you might get extra traffic during certain seasons, but that doesn't mean you've truly grown your reach. It takes time to build trust, so you need to make sure that you keep producing valuable content if you want to make those meandering eyeballs keep coming back.
By design, evergreen content is meant to last longer than its seasonal counterparts. Compared to a holiday-specific content, there will always be eyeballs looking at updated guides, how to's, and case studies. And when, for example, an industry development occurs, you can simply add on to the content by updating it.
Grow Traffic made a good analogy of how evergreen traffic works—likening it to a long, low, shallow hill, with a steady incline for miles and miles and seemingly no end in sight. While that may be enough for certain marketing goals, it lacks the viral potential of seasonal content.
Creating useful evergreen content targeted for beginners is one of the most successful types for lasting content. It will always be valuable for people looking to learn how to use a particular tech and platform (for as long as it's available).
When you write content for experts, there's a good chance that you'll run out of experts after a certain period of time. You could also come up with content that's one of three things: perfect (gives even advanced users something to learn and pushes intermediate users to become advanced); too basic (contains knowledge that's far too common); too advanced (relevant to just a very small audience).
As noted earlier, the ability to update it pertinent to industry developments will always be advantage of evergreen content. You're not only able to keep the content relevant, you're also able to maintain backlinks and existing traffic.
Similar to how creating a content that's too perfect can be detrimental in the long run, having a great evergreen content strategy can also become a disadvantage when brainstorming ideas become more difficult as you produce more content.
There may be debates about which type of content brings more traffic, but most experts are in agreement that a well-rounded campaign–one that gives off the sense that you have a complete perspective of your audience's needs and interests–can allow you to reap the benefits of both, while telling the whole story. Here are some excellent guide questions you can ask your team to help you come up with both types of content.
For seasonal ideas: What is broader context? Are there bigger trends behind a topic/event that can be explored? Does this topic/event have a greater impact on the public?
For evergreen ideas: What examples are there that help illustrate the point? How can you translate those ideas into something audiences can relate to?
Answering these questions can lead you to a path to crafting a campaign idea that has enough assets to create the short-term hype and buzz (seasonal content), while having the potential for long-term conversions (evergreen content).
As with all marketing strategies, the key to success is experimenting, measuring, and finding out what works best for you depending on your goals. Whichever type you end up being heavy on, make sure that all content is of high value and quality. This is ultimately what keeps your audiences coming back for more.

By train it takes 7 to 10 hours to travel 494.45 km from Uthumphon Phisai to Bangkok depending upon which train you take. 3 out of the 4 trains which travel overnight have sleeper berths available, although you may want to travel during the day as the scenery is good on this route, particularly between Nakhon Ratchasima and Ayutthaya.
There are a total of 8 train services per day from Uthumphon Phisai to Bangkok.
The fastest train from Uthumphon Phisai to Bangkok is Train #22 departing at 15:48 which is scheduled to complete the journey in 7 hours 07 minutes.
The slowest train from Uthumphon Phisai to Bangkok is Train #136 departing at 08:28 which is scheduled to arrive 10 hours 12 minutes later at 18:40.
Sleeper berths are available on Trains #24, #68, and #140 but not on Train #142 departing at 19:02. Train #24 is the premium train service on this route, and the most expensive one, as it uses the new style of passenger carriages brought into service in November 2016. The fastest service, Train #22 departing at 15:48, is a three carriage sprinter train and food brought to you at your seat is included in the ticket price.
Train tickets from Uthumphon Phisai to Bangkok purchased online are 250 to 300 THB more expensive than buying the tickets the train station.
The reason you might choose to pay more to buy online is that tickets often sell out before the travel of travel and at busy times need to be purchased several weeks ahead of the day you plan to travel.
Most foreign visitors to Bangkok only ever use Bangkok's main train station, Hua Lamphong, which is the start and finish point for nearly all railways lines in Thailand. Depending on your final destination, however, Hua Lamphong Railway Station may not be the best station at which the leave the train. Hua Lamphong Railway Station is located in Bangkok's China Town area near to the Chao Phraya River. If you are planning to travel to the Khao San Road area of Bangkok, or to visit the Grand Palace or the temples in Rattanakosin Island, or to stay in China Town, then it makes sense for you to continue your journey all the way to Hua Lamphong at the end of the train line. However, if you are planning to travel to most other parts of Bangkok, or to either of the two airports in Bangkok, then you will find it quicker to leave the train at Bang Sue Train Station and continue your journey by local transport.
Bang Sue Railway Station is located to the North of Bangkok's main train station 5 stops (7.47 km) before Hua Lamphong Railway Station. This last stretch of railway line from Bang Sue Station to Hua Lamphong is the most congested part of Thailand's railway network and trains move very slowly through this part of Central Bangkok, and it is common for this last part of the journey to take 30 to 40 minutes and sometimes longer. If you alight at Bang Sue Railway you can walk out of the train station and straight into the adjacent MRT (metro) station. Bangkok's metro service runs south from Bang Sue Station terminating at Hua Lamphong Train Station via popular destinations in Bangkok such as the Sukhumvit Road and the Silom Road. Bang Sue Train Station is also close to Bangkok's Northern Bus Terminal (5.2 km by taxi) and Don Mueang Airport (17.2 km). For journeys to the Sukhumvit Road area in particular if you alight at Bang Sue Railway Station and take the metro you normally find that you arrive at the Sukhumvit Road before the train you were travelling on even gets into Hua Lamphong Train Station.


MIA, Paleo Man, Subscribing and Cards…finally!
My apologies for being Missing In Action this week. I succumbed to a rather nasty sinus infection which has now settled on my chest. Again. Yep. I know – I have had quite a few colds and infections recently. Having chatted with the Doc I find that I am badly anaemic and potentially suffering Coeliac disease. This is interesting since most of my meals consist of gluten in some form: bagel for breakfast and/or lunch, pasta, rice etc. It seems the anaemia makes me weak (!) and the (potential) Coeliacs prevents my stomach from absorbing the goodness and vitamins from my food – hence the anaemia and susceptibility to everything thats going. This time I have been laid pretty low spending pretty much all my time asleep as I felt too weak to do much else. On top of this my youngest now has Mumps. The big one came home from Uni telling tales of how people had Mumps at Uni and I assured him that he would be OK as he had had the MMR and his boosters: he was vaccinated up! The very next week he looked like a Squirrel who had just remembered where he had put his winter store and its now spring! Monday the youngest got up and said his jaw was hurting. I did the usual Mum thing: 'You two been messing around again?' On closer inspection however I realised that this poor boy was beginning to resemble a cast off from a Rocky movie with his swollen face and square jaw! He is loving the jelly and ice-cream though!
So…Back to anaemia and Coeliacs. I am so fed up of feeling unwell that I have decided to take a drastic measure with my health and make serious changes to my diet – I don't eat badly, we never have processed/package foods but realistically, we can do better! A colleague at work has been banging on about the 'diet' he follows. He is a very healthy looking lad with muscles all over the place. I had a chat with him and he pointed me in the direction of The Paleo Solution by Robb Wolf. Basically it is about eating like our Paleo ancestors – who were apparently as healthy as our present day Olympian athletes – I am up for that! – even if they had shorter lives (due to nasty animals etc). Whilst Robb does suggest that you will lose weight – I am up for that too! – he advocates a general 'feeling better' health wise and challenges you to give his way a go for thirty days. Go check it out and I will keep you posted whilst I do my thirty days to see if I do feel better – lets face it – I cannot feel worse than I have been lately! And no – to the Gods in heaven above – that is not a challenge thank you!
DID YOU KNOW…you can subscribe to my blog? If you look at the very top of the page and to the right there is a bit where you can subscribe and follow my blog – if you want to that is….and of course if you want to find out how my Paleo thirty days is going this would be a great way to follow and keep up to date. Go on…subscribe – you know you want to….
This is SU Style Beautiful stamp set from the 2010/2011 Idea Book and Catalogue, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla and Soft Suede CS, and Chocolate Chip Ink finished with a few pearls and gold embossing powder – I love the simplicity of this.
I totally love this stamp set and think I will get a lot of use out of it – It is the Strength & Hope set from the 2011 Mini catalogue. I used Crumb Cake – again – Night of Navy, Whisper White and Bashful Blue CS, Bashful Blue ink and Rose Red seem binding ribbon. I also buffed a very tiny bit of Rose Red ink into the butterfly. this was finished with a little paper piercing around the scallop circle punched with SU scallop circle punch of course!
This turned out a lot better than I anticipated! I used the Fun Flowers Sizzix die – an exclusive to Stampin Up – and used it to die cut NewsPrint DSP, I mounted it onto Basic Black, Whisper White and again onto Basic Black CS only this piece had been run through Vintage Wallpaper Textured Impressions embossing folder – another SU Exclusive! and gently rubbed it with copper wax to give it a metallic feel before mounting on Whisper White and again onto Basic Back – I added pearls and some ribbon from my – large – ribbon box! Oh and I also rubbed a little of the copper wax on the edges of the flower petals too!
This is another set I think will get a lot of use – This is the Baby Blossoms set and you quite literally make your own blooms yourself – YEP – each flower on this was stamped into parts – the light blue and the dark blue! I also used the frame from the same set to 'cameo' the main bloom. I used Bashful Blue, Whisper White and Not Quite Navy CS, Bashful Blue, Not Quite Navy and Old Olive Ink, Scallop Trim Border punch and some pearls to finish. Turned out quite nice if I do say so myself – mind you it took me ages lining things up, then I got the hang of it – all I had to do was follow the shapes but I was a while figuring that out!
Ok, thats me, I do have a couple more cards but will save those till the next post. I am back to work again tomorrow but will post as soon as I can. Don't forget to subscribe. Until then remember to keep stamping your place in the world!
Ok, so there I was looking over the amazing work of my fellow SU demo's swaps that I was delighted to receive yesterday at Stampin Up Regional training and thinking…'how do I choose which to pop on my blog? Everyone has worked hard on these, they are all fantastic and there isn't one that I don't like. How do I choose?' Simple, I showcase them all! so that is what I have done and you can view them and be inspired by the fantastic and wonderful creations right here.
The first up is this simply stunning swap by Ann-Marie Leith. It uses Whisper White CS, VersaMark and SU white embossing powder, Certainly Celery ink and ribbon and the very lovely Vintage Vogue Stamp set. I chose this for the blog page because it is so clean and simple and I totally loved the embossed flowers making a background. Stunning Ann-Marie! thank you!
This card is another stunner – Theresa did this in a couple of background colour ways but they were all equally gorgeous! I chose this on because the background had been embossed and reminded me of those lovely cardi's your gran used to knit for you when you were little – was it called waffle knit? I think it might have been but I just loved it! Thank you!
I had seen this stamp set in the book and shied away from it – it just seemed too twee for me, and I have boys so wasn't really convinced. Thats until I saw Evelyns' swap! I was totally bowled over by it. It is such a crisp stamp and Evelyn coloured it so beautifully, teemed it with a border punch and even getting some crimping in there! I fell in love with this stamp thanks to Evelyn, and placed it on my personal order the minute I got back from regionals so watch this space to see if I can at least meet the standard Evelyn has set with this! Thank you!
Gina had made these delightful book marks in a variety of colours and each and every one of them was beautiful. I had the great pleasure of sitting next to Gina for the days training and was amazed that she and Joy had both travelled from Ireland that morning especially for the training! That is dedication! I really enjoyed Gina's company (and Joy's too) and was really pleased to find that despite not having known her before yesterday she had a brilliant sense of humour even when I called her a slave driver! What a lovely person to meet when you are going somewhere where you may not know any one! thank you Gina and Joy for your company yesterday and for your inspiration too – yes I have already been to your blogs and got you on my speed dial! Thank you!
This final entry is my very own version of one of the make and takes we did. Its a little gift card holder – or indeed note holder – what ever you want it to be really! It was really quick and easy to make using two top note cut outs, an a5 piece of CS inside, some ribbon, a couple of brads and some punched butterflies! Simple! and a great idea for your next card class too!
Ok so you have seen some of the fantastic swaps and even a little bit of sneak peak of what is coming in April – did you spot anything interesting in these pics? head over to the gallery here for a few more sneak peaks but remember to head back here from 1st April for something amazing coming from Stampin Up! I promise you will be blown away….
I am off work bunged up with a nasty head cold right now so this will be brief – if I am too poorly to be at work I am too poorly for anything else – fortunately that also includes the ironing! My head is pounding, my throat feels like I have been gargling razor blades and my nose is so sore now from blowing it that I could give Rudolf a serious run for his money! I feel a Grey's Anatomy morning coming on….
The card below is a birthday card for my eldest son from his younger brother for his Nineteenth birthday (I still cannot believe that….) but I have a thank you to make for it – I was sent a fabulous tutorial from Sabrina over on SCS after I admired a card she has made. This is my take on Sabrina's design.
Sabrina's card can be viewed here and it is a total delight! I have placed the tutorial over in my Stamping Tutorials Section which I am slowly beginning to populate. This one is called Surprise Pop Up Card and is done by the amazing Beate Johns – I adore her tutorials – they are so straight forward and always turn out just right!
As I have mentioned I am going to the Stampin Up regional training next week and have started to make my 'swaps' to take with me. This is a sneak peak of one of my swaps.
I have gone for a very simple design which I CASEd from here. I liked the simplicity of this card. I changed the background stamp and added the tiny strip behind the heart. I love the colours though and feel they give a really fresh feel to the whole sentiment. This is really only a topper so could look totally different mounted onto a card front. I am still thinking about what my other swaps will look like – I am making around forty swaps and hope they will help me make contact with other SU demo's here in Scotland. I will let you know how it goes.
Right time for some more medicine and a little Grey's now with a big cup of tea and possibly a chocolate biscuit although I can't actually taste too much – at least I will know I have had chocolate!
Til next time, don't forget to stamp your place in the world!

Rob Worrincy signs for Sheffield Eagles
Sheffield Eagles have confirmed the signing of former winger Rob Worrincy from Halifax on a one-year contract.
He becomes the sixth new signing ahead of 2015, joining Blake South, John Davies, Steve Thorpe, Jamie Langley and Ben Musolino.
The 29-year-old made 57 appearances for the Eagles in two spells between 2005 and 2008, scoring 27 tries including a memorable effort in the Eagles' playoff final victory over Swinton Lions in 2006 which ensured promotion back to the second tier.
Rob has since spent his career with Halifax, playing a part in their Championship winning season in 2010 and Northern Rail Cup triumph in 2012, and says he can't wait to get started once more in Sheffield.
He said: "I'm excited, the success of the team over the last three or four years speaks for itself. Sheffield have been a team that you know you're always going to have a tough game against and a team you expect to see at the back end of the season challenging for honours.
"It's going to be a case of trying to force my way into a very successful team. It's going to be a difficult task because there are players that have performed well over the last few years that have made those shirts their own, and rightly so.
"I have a lot of respect for Mark (Aston) having played under him previously. I had lost a little bit of direction when I first joined Sheffield and I owe a lot of gratitude to him as he gave me my first real opportunity.
"When I realised I wasn't going to be at Halifax anymore, Sheffield was always going to be my first port of call. I really enjoyed my time here and have some great memories."
Eagles boss Mark Aston is delighted to have Rob on board, and thinks he can contribute to a successful season in 2015.
He said: "Rob was very good the last time he was here and he can score tries, which is the type of player we're always looking for. He will add competition for places in the back line and is a real exciting athlete.
"We had a chat about what he wants to achieve and where we're going and he wants to be a part of it. He has matured now and I'm sure he can become a fans' favourite once again."

Research has shown that consumers are interested in the possibilities offered by virtual reality (VR) applications to allow them to demo products before purchase, something which Amazon has tackled in its recently-announced Prime Wardrobe service.
Adoption of virtual reality (VR) headsets hasn't grown by leaps and bounds.
Virtual Reality has been slower to catch on in the US than Augmented Reality, and will not reach mass adoption in the foreseeable future.
Cost isn't the only factor holding back adoption of these virtual reality headsets. Many people are simply not interested in them.
Some 40% of respondents cited lack of budget as one of the primary obstacles to VR development.
US developers at virtual reality development companies or working on VR products are interestingly more enthusiastic about the long-term future of augmented reality.
Just 54% of business and IT executives said they were aware of AI, compared with 78% who were aware of 3-D printing.


D.D. Palmer of USA from The United States cultivated Chiropractic in the year 1895. Today this is practiced in about 100 years. Having said that the clinical societies do decline this technique as clinical.
The chiropractic care viewpoint is accordinged to that staying microorganism consists of some factors which could certainly not be actually described by the material concept. They philosophically claim that staying beings are made up from issues which have a product kind and are actually likewise comprised of refined factors which could not be actually realized materially.
This ideology separates chiropractic from various other types of medication like allopathic. Naturalism, rationalism and also holism are several of the profound factors which comprise chiropractic.
Pet chiropractic doctor concentrates mostly on the relationship which exists in between the spinal column and also the nervous system. Exactly how one affects the other and also what are actually the corrective solutions which one can easily adopt in order to manage the creatures are a few of the places on which a creature chiropractic physician concentrates. The creature chiropractic specialist likewise studies the musculo-skeletal device deeply; this aids them to identify the cause of the concern in an even more helpful method.
That is often suggested that a veterinarian should be related before taking the assistance of a creature chiropractor. The vet will definitely calculate the primary reason for the issue and may advise for a chiropractic physician. In small cases the problem may rehabilitate by itself but if the complication persists after that immediate focus is required or else the disorder may exacerbate.
The chiropractor will certainly try to examine the body muscular tissues as well as the cells; a detailed research study from the gait as well as the position will definitely be executed so as to understand the concern. The movement of the animal spinal column will be actually accomplished, whether any kind of muscle spasm is present or not will be actually looked into or even if there is actually any hot spots or cold places present will definitely be actually completely examined by chiropractic physician. Any kind of unusual action that to for a substantial period are going to indicate that, the problem is severe.
After effectively identifying the concern the chiropractic specialist will, resort to treatment. The therapy is actually targeted to bring the creature's physical body to the typical amount. The therapy offers great relaxation to the pet and also many of the moment this ahs been noted that the animal's delight in the therapy. When the pet's body reaches to its normal amount and the balance in the body is actually established the animal can easily respond to its regular regimen.
Aftercare is actually very much significant right here; in fact if the after treatment is actually not proper then the creature might not recover completely as well as after at some point the discomfort might become rigorous. After the procedure the animal might spend some time to recoup totally; all of it relies on the magnitude of the complication. A chiropractor needs to handle the animal under the support from a vet doctor and also after the treatment he should send a comprehensive record to the veterinarian.
A creature chiropractic specialist ought to possess correct knowledge and education concerning the chiropractic care science. In addition to the academic knowledge he need to likewise have sensible understanding.

Q: DAX calculation between parameter & and a table field I got a table with a field called PERCENT. it holds the % value for each item category.
Then, I have another calculation parameter to calculate the percentage of QTy of "SD" out of Total Qty.
Now I need to add a new column to show the difference between PERCENT - the percentage of QTy.
I tried below DAX,
NEW2 =
VAR V1 =
    CALCULATE(
    SUM(PO_POOPEND[ORDER_QTY]),
FILTER(
        AP_APCATGRY,
             AP_APCATGRY[APCATGRY CODE] = "LC"
     )
    )

VAR V2 =
    CALCULATE(
    SUM(PO_POOPEND[ORDER_QTY])

 )

 VAR v3 = calculate (V1/V2 *100)

var v4 = SUMX(AP_MATCAT,AP_MATCAT[PERCENT] - [NEW])
 VAR RESULT = v4
 RETURN
 RESULT

is it correct? Can someone help me with this

A: Your DAX is unnecessarily complicated. Since you're not making use of any of the temporary variables v1, v2 or v3 it can be simplified to:
NEW2 =
SUMX (
    AP_MATCAT,
    AP_MATCAT[PERCENT] - [NEW]
)

But where does measure [NEW] come from?

## Non-local manifold learning

Problem:

- data (eg. image data, language data) exists in a high-dimensional space, but can be brought down to a lower dimension
- believe there is a manifold where probability mass function is concentrated (lower dimension)
    - eg. there is a space associated with 'faces', or 'cats', and we are trying to learn that
- need for distributed representations
    - local non-parametric density estimation, is not distributed. eg KNN, Clustering, RBF SVM
        - problem: we have separate parameters for each region
    - we learn from 'factors'
        - input: images of people, factors: male/female, tall/short
        - we need a concept of 'multi-clustering'
            - input space of all combinations of factors
        - advantage: generalize non-locally
- Factor models
    - PCA, ICA, directed factor model, have prior on factorized $h_i$
    - when you have an input, able to describe it with a small number of the factors
    - once you have learned a shallow representation, learn more layers for deeper rep
        - RBMs

Auto-encoders and Variants

- coincide with PCA and RBMs
- learning a computational graph
- d. Computational Graph
    - learn by computations that have parameters
        - graph of computation has a family of computations
        - share the parameters, so you can learn for new data points
- simple auto-encoder
    - encoder and decoder parts
    - use reconstruction error
        - use -log likelihood of reconstruction distribution
    - by minimizing error
        - looking for coordinate system where
        - linear encoder = linear manifold
- contractive auto-encoder
    - take error and add training term, derivatives of all $h_j(x)$
        - make the error contractive, as insensitive to input as possible
    - have regions responsive to the same units,

Conclusion

- Unsupervised Learning is about figuring out where to put probability mass
- regularized ae capture manifold structure (capturing tangent planes)
- ae becomes generative models by walking on planes
- mystery of their probabilistic interpretation is mostly solved.

Hans Holbein.
Court Painter to England's Henry VIII.
Hans Holbein was born in 1497 in the German city of Augsburg close to the Bavarian border. He was the son of the artist Hans Holbein the Elder and studied under his father before going to Basle with his brother Ambrosius as an apprentice to the painter Hans Herbst. After a brief period working in Lucerne and Zurich, in 1519 he returned to settle in Basle and married Elsbeth Schmid a widow with an infant son.
In Basle, the artist ran a busy workshop and established a glowing reputation in the city.
He completed mainly religious works at this time but was also involved in portraiture, his painting of the Dutch Humanist Erasmus established his reputation.
Thomas More. (w)
He travelled to England in 1526 and moved in the circles dominated by Thomas More who was a personal friend of Erasmus. He remained in England for two years, in the period just before the Reformation when More's star still shone brightly at the English Court.
The artist returned to Basle in 1528 where he remained for four years, his purchase of a house in St Johanns-Vorstadt highlights his growing self-confidence in his artistic ability.
Holbein's fame is forever linked to the English court of King Henry VIII. His portraits during the English Reformation provide an insight into the characters who dominated this famous and dangerous period of 16th-century history.
King Henry VIII.
c. 1536. Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, Madrid. (w)
In 1532, when Holbein returned to England for the second time, the political landscape was about to undergo a radical change of direction. King Henry was preparing to have his marriage to Catherine of Aragon annulled and replace her with his mistress, Anne Boleyn. This was opposed by the Pope setting in motion a chain of events leading to England's eventual split from Papal supremacy.
The artist seems to have negotiated the political storm, on this second visit he was introduced at court under the patronage of Thomas Cromwell and the Boleyn family. Thomas More, Holbein's host on his first visit to England, was in disgrace for opposing the Kings marriage to Anne Boleyn, he was executed in 1535. Anne Boleyn was herself executed for high treason, incest and adultery in May 1536.
I wonder did the artist realise that he was painting a mass-murderer? Henry in all his fine clothes and glittering jewellery gives us just the slightest hint of a sneer. Is this an indication of his contempt for lesser mortals?
The King stares out from the pages of history, a cold stare, safe in the knowledge of his God-like all consuming and absolute power.
Erasmus. (w)
Jane Seymour. (w)
Anne of Cleaves. (w)
Catherine Howard. c. 1540/42 (w)
Eleven days after the execution of Anne Boleyn Henry married his third wife Jane Seymour. Jane was the only one of Henry's wives to bear him a son, Edward.
The artist has produced this charming portrait of the young prince magnificently clothed in royal finery. The attention to detail is superb, sadly Jane Seymour died on 24th October 1537 less than two weeks after Edward's birth.
Prince Edward ( the future Edward VI ) c, 1538. Oil and tempera on oak, National Gallery of Art , Washington DC. (w)
Christina of Denmark 1538. National Gallery London. (s)
One of Holbein's most famous paintings is the Ambassadors. The work is a double portrait of the diplomats Jean de Dinteville (on your left) and Georges de Selve, their mission included diplomatic proposals regarding the Kings marriage to Anne Boleyn. The finely painted details within the work contain many symbolic images relating to that mission.
The lute with a broken string, suggesting disagreement; the open book is a text by Luther, indicating some sympathy with reform. Perhaps the most incredible image is of the distorted skull in the foreground. It rises from the floor only morphing into its skull-like shape when viewed from a very acute angle, almost side on, (anamorphosis perspective) it's prominence within the painting suggesting a Memento mori (remember you must die) a reminder that we are all mortal.
The Ambassadors 1533. National Gallery London (s)
Thomas Cromwell c.1532 (w)
Lais of Corinth. c, 1526 (w)
Holbein travelled to Brussels charged with making a portrait of Christina of Denmark who was touted as a potential wife for the widowed King Henry. His picture of Christina was well received but Henry eventually married Anne of Cleaves (his fourth wife), the artist painted Anne's portrait in 1538.
On the arrest and execution of Thomas Cromwell on 28 July 1540, the artist had lost his greatest patron. He completed many commissions from private patrons such as the community of German merchants in London. Holbein also painted some fine miniatures and a portrait of Anthony Denny, a prominent member of the Privy chamber, who gained favour in the English court after the execution of Henry's fifth wife, Catherine Howard.
The King married for the sixth and final time on 12 July 1543 to, the twice-wed, Catherine Parr.
The Artist's Family, c.1528. Oil and tempera on paper. (s)
The artist spent a large part of his career separated from his wife and children who remained in Basel during his English period. It is reported that in England he had several affairs producing at least two children.
This family portrait displays a strange sadness in the faces of his sitters. Elsbeth, the artist's wife, appears drawn and weary, the children look fearful, almost reminiscent of a deathbed scene, it is in stark contrast to the confidence displayed by the characters in Holbein's paintings from the English court.
Hans Holbein was essentially an artist in the traditional Flemish style, he was influenced by the Gothic teachings of his father Hans Holbein the Elder. He did display some of the Italian styles of Leonardo da Vinci in his painting the Lais of Corinth using Leonardo's sfumato to blend the skin tones.
The artist made his will on 7th October 1543, he died from an infection soon afterwards at the age of 45.

Get to know mediaman USA and how they contribute to the hustle of the Hub.
Agency Spotter is all about helping marketers and agencies get to know each other. Discover how German heritage and American creativity makes mediaman an independent digital strategy agency delivering internationally cross-pollinated ideas.
Why did mediaman choose Boston for its first US office?
We are based in Boston, but we are also working from Ohio, Montana and Maine. In the US we've been very lucky to have a team of new talents combined with mediaman team members who moved to the US. We organically developed a style of working remotely and this has helped us develop even greater fluency in our communication and work style with the other offices.
What's unique about mediaman as a digital strategy agency?
For us, substance matters. We hold ourselves and our clients accountable for making the internet a better, more useful, place. We are a privately owned and operated international agency, which means that collaboration and cross pollination of ideas are everywhere. And, while we take pride in our German heritage, we make sure shake things up with a healthy dose of American creativity.
mediaman's tagline is "expect more from digital." Do you find businesses have low expectations for digital endeavors?
At the time that it was created, our tagline was the result of a desire to capture the more holistic, strategic and creative work that many of our long time clients, such as Mercedes-Benz, Bosch and Zurich, were asking us to do. Projects that had begun with a very functional task, such as building a website, had become long term collaborative relationships.
Our digital strategy recommendations and content creation allowed our clients to move confidentially into new brand and technology-driven experiences. Digital can be complex and, more often than not, it is "downstream" in the overall strategy. We find we do our best work with clients who, like us, believe that digital is not just a point of execution but that it is a intimate conversation between the audience and the brand.
How do your clients benefit from in-house usability testing?
every client decides to do usability testing, we find that the ones who do are often surprised by the findings and become as much an advocate of it as we are. At the heart of everything we create for our clients is the user and their experience. It is crucial to know your user's true experience from their POV.
Can you give us an example of how mediaman's "connected creativity" has grown a client's online business?
C onnected creativity is so ingrained in our communication and process that sometimes we are not even aware of it. That is the case for our work with Merck KGaA, Merck Serono, and their US subsidiary, EMD Serono. The account team, which is composed of both US and German team members, is the point of contact for many website related tasks across the organization. This unique vantage point means that our creativity is not just in execution, but in seeing separate initiatives in the company and aligning them, or making content more consistent.
Who has better beer, Germany or the US?
Great answer and thanks for chatting with us, mediaman!
