Hoffenheim 0-2 Bayern Munich: Musiala and Choupo-Moting keep pressure on Union Berlin
By Sports Desk October 22, 2022
Defending Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich kept up the pressure on surprise pacesetters Union Berlin with a 2-0 win at Hoffenheim.
Julian Nagelsmann had been disappointed his side did not score more in Bayern's 5-2 win at Augsburg in the DFB-Pokal in midweek.
Bayern were also guilty of letting chances go begging in this league clash against his former club, but goals from Jamal Musiala and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting proved enough for them to come through a tricky test.
They are now a point behind Union, who will be expected to restore a four-point advantage when they visit bottom side Bochum on Sunday.
Serge Gnabry and Choupo-Moting forced Oliver Baumann into early saves and Bayern soon made their superiority count when Leon Goretzka headed a corner into the path of an unmarked Musiala at the far post to tuck home a simple finish.
Goretzka was then too casual with his close-range effort after being teed up by Choupo-Moting, with Musiala's follow-up from Baumann's save cleared off the line.
Gnabry saw his effort from a tight angle kept out by Baumann before Sven Ulreich was tested for the first time at the other end following good work from Georginio Rutter.
Musiala hit the side-netting at the end of a well-worked move but the similarly impressive Choupo-Moting made no mistake with an emphatic finish after ghosting into the box to receive a pinpoint return pass from Gnabry.
Bayern took their foot off the gas in the second half, though substitute Marcel Sabitzer might have added a third if not for a fine save with his legs by Baumann.

Hobbling Mahomes gains revenge against Bengals as Chiefs make Super Bowl LVII
A limping Patrick Mahomes led the Kansas City Chiefs to Super Bowl LVII with a 23-20 defeat of the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship Game.
Mahomes had sustained a high ankle sprain in the Divisional round victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars but was determined not to miss the opportunity to gain revenge following last year's loss against the Bengals at the same stage.
In that reverse, Mahomes followed an outstanding first half with an uncharacteristically shambolic second that cost the Chiefs.
However, on Sunday, as the game wore on and the temperature dropped, Mahomes showed signs of his injury affecting him but refused to relent, finishing with 29-of-43 passing for 326 yards and two touchdowns, along with a vital late run.
Mahomes was largely able to stay clean in the first half while Joe Burrow took some punishment, but the Chiefs' sole TD pass found Travis Kelce on fourth-and-one.
Memories of last year's loss might have come to mind as the Bengals came out stronger in the third quarter and Tee Higgins sensationally reeled in a pinpoint Burrow TD pass down the sideline.
A hobbling Mahomes battled on and connected with Marquez Valdes-Scantling for a scrambling score, only for Burrow to find Ja'Marr Chase deep on fourth-and-six to set up Samaje Perine to run it in.
With the scores tied, both QBs struggled to get the job done as overtime neared, but Chris Jones sacked Burrow to force a Bengals punt, with Skyy Moore's 27-yard return keeping the Chiefs alive.
When Mahomes – understandably reluctant to run the ball until that stage – made up five yards and was shoved by Joseph Ossai after running out of bounds, a 15-yard penalty left Harrison Butker with the 45-yard game-winning field goal to set up a Super Bowl meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Kelce keeping fine company
Restricted by his injury, Mahomes needed help from his receivers and got it. He completed passes to 10 team-mates, but Kelce was unsurprisingly his primary target, completing seven of nine attempts for a TD.
That was Kelce's 15th receiving TD in the postseason, drawing him level with fellow tight end Rob Gronkowski and now trailing only wide receiver Jerry Rice (22) for all-time postseason scores.
Burrow takes a beating
This was the first time Burrow had lost to Mahomes, with the Chiefs clearly irked by talk of the Bengals QB's dominance in this matchup. The Chiefs got to Burrow time and again early on, with four sacks before halftime.
Coming into the game, Burrow was 14-1 this season when sacked four times or fewer but 0-3 when sacked five times or more. That fifth and final sack from Jones proved so pivotal.
Cowboys and offensive coordinator Kellen Moore agree to part ways
The Dallas Cowboys will have a new look offensively next season after ownership and offensive coordinator Kellen Moore mutually agreed to part ways.
The move was reported on Sunday, one week after the Cowboys struggled offensively in a 19-12 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in a Divisional round game.
Head coach Mike McCarthy will reportedly take over play-calling duties from Moore, who had one year remaining on his contract and had been the Cowboys' offensive coordinator since 2019.
Under Moore, Dallas led the NFL in total yards in 2019 and 2021 and also had the league's top-ranked scoring offense last season at 31.2 points per game.
The Cowboys finished the 2022 regular season ranked fourth in the NFL in scoring (27.5 points per game) and 11th in total offense (354.9 yards per game), but the team managed just 282 total yards and one touchdown in the loss to the 49ers.
Dak Prescott threw two interceptions in that defeat after leading the league with a career-worst 15 picks.
The defeat at San Francisco marked another disappointing ending to a season for a Cowboys team who once again suffered an early playoff exit. Dallas have not advanced past the Divisional round of the playoffs since winning the Super Bowl following the 1995 season.

1st International University Theatre Festival in Quezon City
IUTA Philippine Center 06.10.2011
THE International University Theatre Association (IUTA) Philippine Center will host the First International University Theatre Association Festival/Conference/Workshop that will enable local theatre teachers from 17 regions to have an interaction and sharing of practices in the teaching of theatre with their counterparts and peers from various universities around the world.
Anchored on the theme: "Strengthening University Theatre: Cultural Traditions Enriching Contemporary Theatre," the event will be held on July 18 to 20 at Miriam College, the official venue. It will consist of dialogue, workshops, demonstrations, round-table discussions and performances.
Established in 1994 at the University de Liege, IUTA aims to develop and promotes theatre training, creation and theoretical and practical research. The association has members in over 50 countries including the Philippines. Heading the IUTA Philippine Center, Arsenio "Nick" Lizaso is the project executive director of the event.
This is the most prestigious event that will not only bring honor and prestige to the Philippines but will also greatly benefit Filipino teachers in terms of exposure to new knowledge and best global practices in the field of theater arts as well. "Echoing the message of Jessica Kaahwa of Uganda for World Theatre Day in March, the interactions between our university-based theatre organizations and the foreign theatre experts show that theatre could, indeed, bridge divides," Lizaso says.
At the same time, Lizaso thinks that the Theatre Festival will underscore the role of theatre in teacher development. "I have always believed that teachers can employ theatrical skills to make them more effective in the classroom, whatever the subject," said Lizaso.
"This kind of interactions with foreign professors will help contribute to the enhancement of the quality of Philippine education through teacher development," he added.
Lizaso further announced that so far 18 foreign delegates from IUTA have already signified their intention to participate. Invitations have already been sent to State Colleges all over the Philippines. With the strong endorsement from the Commission on Higher Education, Lizaso is confident of a robust attendance from local educational institutions.
For school-based theater organizations interested in joining the Festival, contact the IUTA Philippine Center office at 621-9467.

CCP EXHIBITS FOR RIZAL'S BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION
Jeresano, Pacena et al, and PSP: June 2011 at the CCP
Young talents converge at the Cultural Center of the Philippines on June 17 to coincide with the CCP's celebration of the 150th birth anniversary of Jose P. Rizal. The CCP has chosen to observe the day by honoring deserving young leaders who epitomize the National Hero's dedication and idealism. Likewise, CCP's exhibit venues will be just as devoted to the musings and assertions of some of the most dynamic young visual artists today.
Prize-winning artist Ronald Jeresano presents his first solo exhibition "MANHID" at the Pasilyo Guillermo Tolentino (Third Floor Hallway). The exhibit marks an important passage for Jeresano, notwithstanding the recognitions he has received. "Manhid" collects the artist's detailed figuration in paintings that counter the grounded certainty of the pose with the fleeting ethereality of the bubble; thus shaping the threshold of what constitutes numbness, or else a suspension of feeling or emotion. One such work pays tribute to Rizal as a figure of fragile hope in a child's future.
A painting by Ronald Jeresano
Most notable among Jeresano's awards was to twice garner the Grand Prize of the ArtPetron on 2008 and 2007. He was also Grand Prize winner for painting in the 2008 Metrobank Art and Design Competition. "Manhid" is presented in cooperation with Nineveh Art Space. The exhibit is on view until August 21, 2011.
At the Bulwagang Juna Luna (Main Gallery), J Pacena II has curated "KULÔ," an exhibit gathering artists who were invited to reflect on Jose Rizal's complexity as educator, ideologue and revolutionary. The exhibit is also meant as a fringe extension of the celebration of 400 years of the University of Santo Tomas, featuring artists who as Thomasians, relive scenarios of the toss-up between submission and rebellion; indeed, a boiling amalgam of raging heat that also serves to cleanse or make things clear. The exhibit will go on till August 21, 2011.
J Pacena II is a recent fellow of the Japan-East Asia Network of Exchange for Students and Youth (JENESYS) Programme for Creators. Pacena was chosen through the curatorial development workshop organized by the UP Vargas Museum and Archives and the Japan Foundation in 2009. Joining him as co-curator is Jocelyn Tullao-Calubayan, a UST Fine Arts professor who has worked with the university's museum and publishing house.
Painted directly on the wall of the Pasilyo Fernando Amorsolo (Second Floor Hallway) is a mural by the Pilipinas Street Plan (PSP), a group of graffiti artists who have worked their way from the streets, to museums, and to expositions around the world. Contributing to this ephemeral tribute to Rizal and the youth are artists Boy Agimat, Epjey, Egg, Exld, Whoop, Kookoo, Tawnie, Nemo, Ver, Tripp, Ungga, Wesndestroy and Jood.
All exhibits are scheduled to launch starting at 3:00pm on June 17 at their respective venues. The openings will be part of the program preceding the CCP's program "JP: Ang Gig ni Rizal" to be performed at the Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo (Main Theater) starting at 4:00pm.
For particulars about the exhibits call CCP Visual Arts and Museo at Tels. 832-3702 and 832-1125 locals 1504+1505 from Tuesdays to Fridays 9:00am-6:00pm. Museum hours are at 10:00am-6:00pm daily

Heat the oven to 425° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or coat lightly with nonstick spray.
Unroll both rounds of pie dough onto a lightly floured work surface and place one on top of the other. Using a pizza wheel or a chef's knife, cut the rounds into eight wedge-shaped pieces (for a total of 16 wedge-shaped pieces).
Arrange wedges on a work surface. Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons of the fruit spread onto eight of the wedges, leaving 1/2-inch margin around the sides. Arrange the eight wedges on the prepared baking sheet and brush the edges with some of the milk.
Using a small heart-shaped cutter cut a heart out of each of the remaining eight pastry wedges (discard the hearts) and arrange on top of the jam-filled wedges. Press the edges with the tines of a fork to seal.
Brush the tops of the pastries with additional milk and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown. Let the tarts cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
Before serving, slice the fresh strawberries in half from top to bottom to form heart shapes. Place a strawberry slice in each heart cut-out.
Variation: For a flavor twist, spread 1 tablespoon of chocolate hazelnut spread onto eight of the wedges, then spread with just 1 tablespoon of the strawberry spread. Proceed with the recipe as written.

As lengthy as the piece a player gives up is normally equal to the piece he gets in return, we say the players are exchanging.

Q: Pass arguments in couchdb-nano view function I am using nodejs's nano npm module and couchdb to get the total number of documents based on a status message that I should be able to pass in a couchdb view.
The view looks like the following.
{
    _id: "_design/docCount",
    views: {
      fileCountByStatus: {
        reduce: "_count",
        map:
          'function (doc) {\n  if(doc.status === "COMPLETE") {\n    emit(doc._id, 1);\n  }\n}'
      },
    },
    language: "javascript"
  }

I am accessing the above view using nano's view function.
My question is, is there anyway I can pass the doc status using the view function instead of hardcoding it (COMPLETE in the above case)

A: Answering my own question.
The general case is to create an index on status with a map function like this:
function(doc) {
  emit(doc.status, 1)
}

Then you can query the view for any value of status
db.view('mydesigndoc', 'myview', { key: 'complete' })
// or
db.view('mydesigndoc', 'myview', { key: 'new' })

The Oklahoma City Bombing Trial
City to lease lot to TV outlets in bombing trial
By Chance Conner
Denver Post Staff Writer
April 3 - Denver will pay $1,100 per day to lease an entire downtown parking lot, which it then will lease to television stations covering the Oklahoma City bombing trial.
Local television stations, Oklahoma City broadcast news departments, Cable News Network and network news divisions will pay the city a still-undetermined fee for space in the lot at 20th and Stout streets adjacent to the federal courthouse, Denver Public Safety Manager Butch Montoya said yesterday.
What to do with the expected crush of large TV satellite trucks in downtown Denver during the trial had been a growing concern of safety officials.
More than 400 print and broadcast reporters will be in Denver to cover the trial of the two men accused of the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building. No trial date has been set.
The lot to be leased is a vital site for broadcast crews, since it is the one site near the courthouse where they can get a clear microwave shot to a repeater on the Amoco Building at 17th Street and Broadway.
Denver will be paying far more to lease the lot than the lot normally generates, but the city is expected to recoup the money from the television stations that use the space.
The 100-space parking lot is owned by Allright Parking. At a $4.25 maximum, and provided the lot was full all day, the most it could net is $425 each working day. The lot normally is empty on weekends and evenings.
"I was hesitant to lease the parking lot at first, since there was no guarantee you television people would use it," Montoya told a group of journalists who had gathered for a media planning session yesterday at Denver police headquarters. "And I didn't want to get stuck with the bill."
The lot, which is privately owned, will be in full use starting Monday, April 8 when suspects Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols have their first hearing in Denver before U.S. District Judge Richard Matsch. Montoya repeated yesterday the city's intention of keeping the streets around the courthouse open throughout the hearings and the trial. "We want to minimize any kind of disruption," he said.
One traffic-related concern is an air-quality monitoring device at 20th Street and Broadway. Rerouting traffic to streets around the courthouse could boost pollution readings, and that could jeopardize federal funding linked to air quality.
The city also will dig troughs in the streets around the courthouse in order to run cable-TV lines. Amy Eury of the Denver Public Works Department said the city wanted minimize above-ground cable lines, as well as the number of satellite trucks.

The regatta faced their share of weather challenges. The winds were shifty and light, though later parts of the days it was more ideal for sailing. Sailors like Olivia de Olazarra and Tucker Weed were leading in their respective categories and were announced winners on the final day.
There were others who put up great performances as well, such as Jack DeNatale and Jack Johansson. Being part of Team Chill, this team showcased great speed and gained top scores in the qualifying rounds. However, Tucker and Olivia also stayed close to the Jacks so that their scores were comparable, being a difference of four points or so. Others like Ivan and Claudia also gained third position in the qualifying rounds. However, on the final day of the races Tucker and Olivia stayed steady and overcame the deficit, which helped them to be winners of the 2017 Midwinter championship. Those who watched the regatta had an exciting weekend here as it is one of the few regattas to be held at such time of the year. Indeed, Florida makes it possible due to the warmer waters found here that helps make the regatta events akin to pleasant weekend holidays for the sightseers.


CurveExpert Professional is a cross-platform solution for curve fitting and data analysis. Data can be modeled using a toolbox of linear regression models, nonlinear regression models, smoothing methods, or various kinds of splines. Over 60 models are built-in, but custom regression models may also be defined by the user. Full-featured publication-quality graphing capability allows thorough examination of the curve fit. The process of finding the best fit can be automated by letting CurveExpert compare your data to each model to choose the best curve.
RESOLVED: an incorrect check in the export table dialog caused erratic behavior (An error that complained that a file could not be found) when "Data" was selected as the source of the x data.
NEW: Five new Yield-Density models added (thanks Charles Tomkins for the model list), and previous Yield Density models have been moved to the Yield-Spacing family.
NEW: changed the strategy for the "Top Results" plot. It now always displays only the top results (the number of which is configurable in the application preferences). Previously, the plot would always add the top results from any new calculations the user might perform, which was confusing.
NEW: When right clicking a result, there is a new menu option "Add to New Plot" when appropriate. This creates a new plot and sends the result(s) there in one step. When a plot is created in this way, the title of the plot is that of the first result sent to it (for example, "Modified Exponential"). The "Add to Plot" option in the menu has been renamed to "Add to Current Plot" also.
NEW: Expand/Collapse buttons added in the Nonlinear Regression selection dialog, so that it is easier to select just a couple of families from the library.
NEW: Better robustness for 15 of the nonlinear regression models, so that the initial guess mechanism may be able to survive a zero in the x or y columns of the dataset.
RESOLVED: If the residual history had a NaN, the Convergence tab would not appear properly (with a small white box) in the result details dialog. Fixed.
RESOLVED: in some situations, obviously failed models were showing with a status of OK. Fixed.
RESOLVED: for users with non-ascii codes in their user names, CurveExpert Pro would fail to start. Fixed.
Added ability for user to build table in multiple ways: from a file with the desired x values, from a xstart/xstop/npoints triple, from a xstart/xstop/dx triple, and from the current data in the dataset.
Added "Export Table" to the right click menu in the Results pane. This makes it easier to quickly create tables without having to open the Result Details dialog.
Added "Copy Parameters" and "Copy All Info" to the right click menu in the Results pane. This makes it easier to get parameters and model information out of CurveExpert Pro into another application (such as Excel).
improved the user interface in the Create Table dialog.
--license -license_file_name- and --quit command line options added for administrators who desire to apply licenses in an automated fashion.
Resolved: PS/EPS files were not correctly output under Windows. Fixed.
Resolved: Slight adjustment to the location of popup menu in the result control under Linux.
NEW: added support for weighting nonlinear and linear regressions, including the CurveFinder tool.
NEW: polynomial regressions and linear regressions now have appropriate statistics shown in the tooltip (standard error, correlation coefficient, etc).
RESOLVED: if a user uses x1 in a 2D model (alone), the generated code was not correct. Resolved.
NEW: Added the ability digitize datasets from a source image. The digitized data becomes the main dataset that is operated on in CurveExpert Pro.
RESOLVED: when drawing a line on a log plot, the points were not evenly spaced in log scale. Fixed.
RESOLVED: transparency setting was lost from a contour once the graph properties dialog was exited. Fixed.
RESOLVED: import of noisy_sin.dat, which had special tags at the top of the file, gave these special lines as the column headers. Fixed.

Observers Say Polish Government Encouraged Minister's Resignation
Elizabeth WilliamsonStaff Reporter of The Wall Street Journal
Updated March 1, 2001 12:01 am ET
WARSAW -- The surprise resignations of Polish Treasury Minister Andrzej Chronowski and a deputy were moves encouraged by a government eager to end the minister's controversial tenure without slowing the country's ambitious privatization program, observers say.
Mr. Chronowski's resignation late Tuesday was accompanied by that of Jakub Tropilo, a vice minister in charge of privatizing the energy sector. For now, Mr. Chronowski will be replaced by Aldona Kamela-Sowinska, his chief deputy responsible for privatizations in the financial-services...


Whether portraits, nudes or horses - the German sculptor Thomas Jastram knows how to represent the characteristic features of his objects in stone, plaster and bronze sculptures. "He is always aware of the similarity and the subtle charisma of expressing the mentality of the model." says his former professor, Helmut Heinze.
Jastram, born 1959 in Rostock, graduated in 1985 from the university for Fine Arts in Dresden, since then he works as a freelance artist. He also took several teaching assignments, among others at the Hamburg Technical Art School.
In addition to various exhibitions, he created numerous works for the public space, for example, a fountain in Ribnitz-Damgarten or the memorial for the Victim of Nazi justice in Torgau, Saxony.


Since more and more small businesses battle over the same clientele each year, finding new and effective promotional ideas that work to target those customers is critical. The line between success and failure often comes down to promotion – it's as simple as that. So how do you tackle the challenge of getting people to find out about your service or product?
Sometimes all you need is a good idea to give your business a promotional boost. Here are 80 simple ways to help thrust your product or organization into the spotlight.
These are techniques that involve making a product or service more accessible or affordable, or simply adding value.
Offering a sale or discount can attract people to your product. But having too many can work against you.
Have a sale – You can offer a holiday or other discount to either the general public or your best customers. Just be careful not to offer too many; your customers might begin to wait for a sale instead of buying things at regular price.
Hold a contest – Offer to automatically enter your customers into a contest when they make a purchase. You could also offer your product as the price for one being held by other small businesses. Either way, make sure that the contest revolves around you and your product.
Give something away for free – Hand out samples of your product, promotional products branded with your logo, or other gifts at a key location. This lets people experience what you have to offer first-hand at a key location.
Frequent shopper cards – Offer customers a discount or free product after they've made a specific number of purchases.
Give discounts to targeted groups – This could be a specific club or association, or simply a group of people who have attended a specific event.
Offer a trade-in – Reward customer loyalty by encouraging them to trade in their old product for a discount on something new.
Point-of-sale displays – Present your in-store products in an unusual way. Stack them in a huge pyramid, or use oddly shaped signs. If you have a window out front, create a wacky display using mannequins or other fun objects.
Offer free shipping – The word "free" is always attractive to customers, and free shipping is usually a reasonable discount.
Offer easy payments or installment plans – These are simple ideas that attract customers by making your products more affordable.
Offer a group or referral discount – These are the sort of discounts that get people talking. Encourage customers to share a deal with others, and they'll do the promotional work for you.
Bundle products or services together – Package no-selling products with your more popular products. Giving a customer more for less both encourages them to buy and clears your idle inventory.
Upsell – Highlight your more expensive products. Give those products more attention in your store or on your website. Provide benefits and reasons why those products are better.
Cross-sell – Customers are more likely to buy from you again right after a purchase. This is a great opportunity to cross-sell a complementary product.
Create coupons – Coupons can be advertised in coupon books or mail packets, or on bulletin boards in high traffic areas. You can also add them to any marketing collateral that you distribute, such as brochures or sale sheets.
Offer upgrades – Let customers know when there is an opportunity to upgrade a product to make it better or add additional functions.
Sell replacement parts – Determine your product's lifecycle and find out when it tends to start getting worn out. Stay in contact with your customers to make it easier for them to get the product fixed.
Offer guarantees – A guarantee helps inspire confidence in buyers and highlights your integrity.
Easy return policy – Impulse buyers will be more likely to purchase items that they can easily return later if they choose.
Free trial – Offer a free trial of your product so that potential buyers can become more acquainted with it.
Business card coupon – Print the back of your business card so that it doubles as a coupon. This will encourage people you meet to purchase from you as well.
Direct marketing and advertising persuades your audience to take action by targeting them in an appealing, creative way. This could include video, audio, print or electronic media.
Use your car or truck – You can follow Nascar's lead by covering your vehicle withvinyl wrapping or magnetic signs that advertise your business.
Signs, banners and posters – Keep paper materials that promote sales, offers and promotions close at hand, and use them when opportunities present themselves. Place them in public places or get permission to display them in private businesses where people gather.
Business cards – Always carry business cards with you and give them to new acquaintances, close associates and anyone who might need to contact you. Give customers extra cards with the incentive of a free service or discount when they refer someone they know to your business.
Promotional products – Printed custom products such as drinkware or keychains can be given as gifts or used at a special event.
Brochures – Specialized brochures are a great place to feature a new product or service.
Postcards – Handwritten postcards are cheaper than letters, and are great for reaching out to prospects. Try sending these for anniversaries, birthdays or holidays.
Newsletters – A newsletter allows you to communicate with prospects on a regular basis.
Direct mail – Catalogs, brochures, and other materials can be mailed directly to your prospects.
E-mail blasts– Create an eye-catching e-mail newsletter that piques people's curiosity and encourages them to subscribe.

Awesome, thanks! We'd love to hear how they worked out for you.
Very informative. I will have to try some of these ideas.
Its practical, informative, and works!! Good stuff, real good stuff.
Thanks, a well collated list!
We have an online business. We leave business cards at related stores in the town and in return offer free links on our website for there businesses. Seems to work.
Thank you , some great ideas to promote our business.
Seeing as Christmas is almost here, why not change your current marketing strategy from sending cards to all your cherished employees and clients to sending personalised imprinted Christmas Tree baubles instead? It will definitely be something that will get your company recognised and also at the forefront of your customers' minds, especially at this time of year where they get so many boring Christmas cards.
Great ideas!! I will definitely try!
Very Good I must implement some of them..
80 promotional idea is a big list. Definitely, some are effective and some area old tradition. However, if you could short this might be more helpful. Thanx for big sharing.
I liked the offline part, most of the time we invest so much at online marketing but forgot offline marketing.


Crews from from Leamington, Kenilworth, Southam, Stratford, Nuneaton and Atherstone stations all gathered outside Ashton Court, owned by Warwick District Council. The exercise took place between 10 am and 11.30 am.
It involved a simulated fire located on the upper floor of the building. Crews used a synthetic smoke machine to simulate the smoke.
The firefighters set up a a ground base just outside the building.
They then put in place a bridgehead from which to conduct the internal operations two floors below the actual 'fire'.
From there crews put on breathing apparatus and other firefighting equipment. They then ascended the two floors to the incident from which they carried out the operation. In a real scenario this would consist of firefighting and rescuing civilians.
The crews were then given two debriefs on how the exercise went. Commanders believed the exercise was a success.
Cllr Andy Crump, portfolio holder for fire and community safety said: "Given recent high profile incidents involving high rise buildings, it is essential we ensure that our firefighters are able to deal effectively with incidents of this nature here in Warwickshire.
"As well as testing the new guidance, training exercises such as these are important for ensuring that fire crews have the correct resources and equipment in order to carry out operations effectively.
And Councillor Peter Phillips, Portfolio Holder for Housing Services at Warwick District Council, commented: "We are committed to working with Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service to ensure the safety of our tenants and leaseholders in all of our high rise blocks.

Lord, your word is a light to my path and nourishment to my soul. Help me to feast on your word so that I may follow you in holiness and purity all the days of my life. Amen.
The next day the crowd that was left behind realized that there had been only one boat, and that Jesus had not gotten into it with his disciples. They had seen them go off without him. By now boats from Tiberias had pulled up near where they had eaten the bread blessed by the Master. So when the crowd realized he was gone and wasn't coming back, they piled into the Tiberias boats and headed for Capernaum, looking for Jesus.
Jesus answered, "You've come looking for me not because you saw God in my actions but because I fed you, filled your stomachs—and for free.
You have the word of life in yourselves. You have come to be fed with this bread of the word…Therefore do not fail to stir up, to encourage, to instruct your neighbors and all others, as best you are able, as your own members, or rather, as those who are members of Christ and sons of God. Be anxious to educate them, reprove them, rebuke them, not in order to cause them pain, but rather to deliver them from the Father's wrath and indignation…So we will all together attain to the kingdom of heaven in Christ Himself, our God, to whom is due all glory forever and ever. Amen.
