This is a continuation of our series to acquire 1,000 new customers for retail customers / ecommerce clients. Let's get started with what you can reasonably achieve within the first 30 days using all available forms of digital marketing for customer acquisition.
Google AdWords – Show up in 8 minutes, adjust campaigns quickly based on every 100 clicks of data. Use Remarketing to remind people to come back and visit again.
SEO – if budget permits, we can do the keyword research and optimize/update your website with relevant metatags, content & work on a content marketing strategy for long-term (learn what your domain authority is). SEO takes a long time, sometimes months to see results, so it should be part of your overall customer acquisition strategy, but it should not be the first and only marketing method.
Amazon – if you're a retailer, you need to be on Amazon. Keyword search volume typically outweighs Google searches or Bing. It takes less than an hour to show up in Amazon search.
Google AdWords – How much are you willing to spend once you figure out the keyword phrases that send the greatest number of consistent leads at the lowest cost per conversion. What is one new customer worth? Are you willing to spend $50 per new customer generated or more? This is hard for some companies in the beginning, but for others, they are willing to spend in order to generate new leads or customers. One major factor for Google AdWords monthly budget is how much your keywords cost, and how many keywords you have. Your geographic territory is another thing that affects your advertising budget. Be willing to spend a minimum of $500 but the more you spend, provided your conversion rates are above 2%, you can drive more leads if budget is available.
Facebook: Posting to your business page doesn't cost anything out of pocket, unless you have someone do posts for you. A boosted post costs as little as $5 for one day, or $25 for 3-days to your followers & their friends, or a small geographic region. A Facebook ad would cost at least $50 recommended for 7-days. Boosted posts are the cheapest way to acquire new customers.
Email Signups – This can be part of your new customer acquisition strategy. Have a signup on your website that captures an email. Offer some type of incentive. Some retailers offer 5-10% off for first-time customers. This captures the email and then you can offer educational content mixed with promotional content depending on your audience.
SEO – You can see new customer acquisitions from SEO, but if you do not have any organic visibility in the Google search results, it's unlikely that you will see this method work within 30 days. That said, if you have long-tail keyword phrases, or highly local keywords, you will probably be able to improve visibility for some keywords that might get to bottom of the first page. If you couple that with paid search, a lower organic ranking will still give you credibility. Our SEO packages start at $5,000. We have special offers for new websites on occasion.
There are numerous other forms of new customer acquisition, but I have seen the methods above work especially when a client is really in need of new customers.
Are you getting traffic for your keywords? How long are they staying on your website? 2 minutes or more?
What is the customer buying cycle length?
Are you still relevant to what your customers need?
Is there a mobile-friendly, responsive issue?
Is there a problem with the landing page on a cell phone?
What is your shopping cart process like?
Have you tested your lead form?
Have you tested your entire process from search to lead acquisition?
Is there something your competition offers that you don't?
What is your persuasive architecture like? What are you doing to convince customers to do business with you?
Despite all of these above, some sites continue to surprise. Some companies generate leads and new ecommerce orders despite not using industry best practices. But all of the above methods typically work, and when they don't, you typically want to analyze what's working, what's not and do more of what is consistently sending new leads or new customers in volume at an acceptable cost of acquisition.
How Much Do Customer Reviews Matter?
This is crucial. You need ten or more 4-5 star reviews in Yelp, Google & Facebook for us to tell your story, and help you acquire 100+ new customers in 30 days.
Depending on your budget, we can work with you to create a customer review incentive. Most vendors request reviews, it just takes time for people to fill them out. Usually, people don't fill them out unless they are extremely upset, or you talk to them & provide some incentive for them to take 5-minutes to write a nice review. Some people will just rate you. This is why it's so easy on Facebook to get reviews, because it's a one click process and you don't have to write an actual review.
What if I have Bad Customer Reviews?
What percentage of your reviews are 1-star? No one is happy all the time, so most customers don't expect you to be perfect or have 100% 5-star reviews. In fact, if you have 5-star reviews, some people might question the validity until they read your reviews and see the number of reviews, how long ago they were written, if it was a verified purchaser, etc. But most of your reviews should be 4-stars or more. If you have 1-3 star reviews, you need to work on why your customers aren't happy and are writing about you on Yelp, Google or Facebook. Also, check Twitter searches on your name/brand. Make sure people aren't tagging you with unhappy remarks. Or hashtagging #yourname with negative remarks. All of these things can keep you from getting new customers. But if you have 4-star reviews or better, it's much easier to market and tell your story.

West Coast turned in another commanding performance in the $1 million Pennsylvania Derby (G1), winning by 7 ¼ lengths to set up the Bob Baffert-trainee for a start in the Breeders' Cup Classic (G1) Nov. 4 at Del Mar.
Saturday's win was arguably the dominating yet for the 3-year-old colt owned by Gary and Mary West. After stalking under a snug hold by Mike Smith for the first seven furlongs, West Coast took the lead at will and drew off in the stretch to finish the 1 1/8-miles in 1:49.91 on a fast track.
"I felt real good on the first turn," Baffert said. "Mike had him in a good position kept him on the outside. I told him, 'don't go near the rail.' At the three-eighths pole, he had a lot of horse and I was afraid he was going to get a little bored out there. He's just learning how to run, and to have a 3-year-old this time of year—and the way he won the Travers and now winning this race—he is going to be (a) horse to reckon (with)."
With the $550,000 payday West Coast became racing's newest millionaire. He has won five straight starts, four in stakes, and is 6-2-0 in eight starts overall, earning $1,543,800.

This Pop Star Says She Faced Insane Body Shaming After Her First Album
"It rocked my foundations."
By Korin Miller
Scott Dudelson / Getty Images
Lorde was catapaulted to fame in 2013 when she was just 16 thanks to the release of her single "Royals," and she now says the experience wasn't easy.
According to the singer, people suddenly made fun of the way she looked. "It rocked my foundations and could have f—ed me, you know?" she says in a new interview with NME. "I remember being made aware of my looks and my body in a way that I had never been."

Lorde says people made fun of her appearance in a way that she had never even considered. "I remember all these kids online, I think I beat their favorite people to number one [on the music charts], and they were like, 'F— her, she's got really far-apart eyes.' I remember being like, 'Whoa! How did I get all this way without knowing I had far-apart eyes?' Just weird s— like that," she says.
Your body can do amazing things—this video is proof:
Lorde says she was "quite overwhelmed" when it happened, but now she feels better equipped to handle it. "If anything, I've slowly been getting less famous since 'Royals' was really big, which is totally cool for me," she says. "I suck at being famous, and that's fine."
Lorde has been out of the spotlight for the past four years working on her new album, Melodrama, which she says helped. "I was able to return to my family and shelter against that and get to where I am now," she says. "I feel so comfortable in myself."

Unfortunately, Lorde isn't the only celebrity who has faced body shaming recently. Earlier this month, Rihanna shut down a blogger who suggested she was "fat" with a hilarious meme she posted on Instagram. Lady Gaga also came under fire from trolls in February who criticized her "belly" during her epic Super Bowl performance. (She also fought back on Instagram, saying that she is "proud" of her body and that her fans should be proud of theirs, too.)
Clearly, body-shaming is never okay in any form and it sucks that Lorde had to endure it. But we're also glad to see that she emerged a stronger person because of it.

I LOVE fall. I love it so much that my husband and I got married in the fall (9 years ago in November)! The season is beautiful and has the BEST food. Now, you would think because I love fall, I would love Pumpkin Spice Lattes. You would be wrong. I really don't like them. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy pumpkins. I enjoy pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, pumpkin crumb cake, pumpkin pudding, etc. Seems like it might be because pumpkin themed coffee drinks don't usually include actual pumpkin. We usually don't have pumpkin savory meals, so I endeavored to make one that even my husband and boy would eat (they're on team sweet potato). Enter the Creamy Pumpkin Pasta. It's creamy, a little sweet, meaty, and absolutely perfect for a fall evening.
You can use an actual pumpkin for this recipe, if you want absolute control over pumpkin quality or something. If you do, I would recommend a sweet or pie pumpkin. If you go the canned route like me, make absolute sure that you use the one that only has pumpkin in the ingredients list. The other kind has a lot of sugar and spices that you may not want for your pasta.
I usually use only like three types of pasta ever. However this time, I opted for Rigatoni. I think it's perfect for this because it scoops up the lovely sauce. But you can opt for any pasta or pour the sauce over rice.
Directions: Cook pasta in deep skillet according to instructions on box and set aside. Brown sausage over medium high heat. Next, add chopped onions, sage, nutmeg and cook until onions are translucent. Add canned pumpkin, chicken broth, and salt & pepper to taste. Take skillet off heat. Add heavy cream and stir until incorporated. Finally mix pasta into sauce and sprinkle parmesan on top. Serve and enjoy!

Twin Flames Book - Justin Aversano PRE ORDER
Twin Flames by Justin Aversano surveys 100 portraits of twins from around the world. Made in the honor of Justin's mother and fraternal twin.
Aversano is a photographer and creative director in New York working at the intersection of art, community, and culture. His most show last month, "The Cactus Diaries" sold out, and we are anticipating a similar response for Twin Flames.
This new exhibition with Superchief Gallery explores Aversano's eclectically-recorded stories about 100 pairs of twins. Twin Flames is an immaculate journey, pushing the boundaries of sociopolitical agenda, culture, tradition, and art by exposing the beauty, comedies, tragedies and all-around humanity of 'twinhood'.
This exhibition showcases the incisive visual style of Aversano's portraits, poems, and polaroids, shown in large, full-color reproductions.
The corresponding book will be divided into chapters containing interviews with Aversano's subjects, which provide context for the series itself, as well as includes the hidden stories that inform the subjects' own personalities and conceptions of identity.
"For Twin Flames I photographed 100 sets of twins to create body of work focused on the phenomena of 'twindom' through an immersive portrait survey.
'Twindom' has a deep root in storytelling - its visuals representing shared experience, a reflected image of self, and our concept of belonging.
Twins and multiple siblings provide a lens on the magic and causality of biology.
By using three formats of film: Polaroid, 120mm, and 4x5 by focusing on the simple idea of seeking an "intentional phenomenology" by direct image making, I can facilitate a broad and reflexive photographic engagement."
Twin Flames is a photographic exploration of the phenomenology of twins.
From early in photography's history, twins have been catalogued and investigated in medical journals and textbooks, and by artists such as Diane Arbus and Vivian Maier.
"Twin Flames" is a collection of over 100 sets of twins, both
identical and fraternal, that Justin sought out in order to better understand his own place within the narrative of this unique genetic occurrence.
By photographing twins across a variety of photographic formats, while allowing them to set the circumstances of their environment and visual representation, Justin believes this project allows for a greater understanding of twins as a not outliers in our world, but as unique individuals that represent the multiplicity of the self and existence.

REVIEW: MIDNIGHT SPECIAL (Nichols)
'The director Jeff Nichols has rather crept up on us, much like his films. He has made four of them — "Shotgun Stories" (2007), "Take Shelter" (2011), "Mud" (2012), and now "Midnight Special" — in which his themes have emerged as clearly as oncoming headlights at night. The settings is the forgotten American heartland of trailer homes and pickup trucks, gas stations and motels, beer and bad TV. His characters are blue-collar workers, the kind of people who, in Obama's clanger of 2008, "cling to guns or religion". In another filmmaker's world they would be dismissed as religious nuts — conspiracy cultists, hoarding books on lay-lines and blanking out their windows to keep out the daylight. In Nichols world they are the heroes. Here, the wackjobs are right. In one extraordinary sequence, great balls of fire descend from the heavens on a lonely gas station, scorching and crumpling the tarmac: the world of Edward Hopper interrupted by the world of Steven Spielberg. It is to Spielberg that many reviewers have turned for comparisons — in particular the early Spielberg of E.T. and Close Encounters, who dreamed of alien visitation in terms of rampaging hoovers and runaway toys — but there's no music playing during the sequence, which is almost silent but for the sound of the crumpling tarmac. Nichols works in a maximalist film culture, in a maximalist genre (sci-fi) but he is a bona fide minimalist, a master of the ellipse: Take Shelter was maybe the sparest movie about the apocalypse you'll ever see. This film, too, is shaved to the bone. In one scene, a man levels a gun at another man's head, a scene we've seen enough to know that the filmmaking world divides into two camps: those who would show the gunshot and those who would cut to the exterior of the dwelling and the muffled sound of a gunshot. Nichols does neither: he cuts on the sound of the victim's increasingly rapid breathing and moves calmly into the next scene. No exterior. No gunshot. What more do we need than a man's last breath?' — from my review of Midnight Special for The Economist
REVIEW: 'UNFINISHED' at the MET
'A whole room could have been put together from the subset of works interrupted by the French revolution, including David's portrait of Adelaide Madame Pastoret and her son (1791-2) left unfinished because of emergent political differences between David and Pastoret's Royalist husband with the result that the sewing needle she is supposed to be holding is not there, invisible — one of the daintiest net effects of the Jacobin Terror imaginable. Less satisfying is the latter portion of the exhibition, when the non finito aesthetic meets the modern artists who most fully embraced it, when the exhibition catches up with itself, so to speak — the result being exquisite self-cancellation. Here are Janine Antoni's heads in soap and chocolate, missing the noses bitten off by three visitors, a testament to their own impermanence, or Edward Ruscha lithographs in the That is Right portfolio — variously titled That is Right, Actual, Correct, Definite, Certain, Sure, Exact and Final — in direct mockery of our completist urges, or Andy Warhol's Do It Yourself (Violin) 1962, a facsimile of a paint-by-numbers kit with only the bottom half of violin complete, the rest of it numbered blanks awaiting color from the bored suburban housewife who is to be imagined dabbing at it while she waits the arrival of her husband back from work. It's not just the loftiness of the irony that is off-putting — although it does scream 1960s as loudly as Mad Men-era porkpie hats — but the fact that this testament to the unfinished is itself, painstakingly finished, inch by pedantic inch.' — from my review of 'Unfinished: Thoughts Left Visible', at the Met Breuer

Those Calling For Oshiomhole's Arrest Are Enemies Of Progress, Says Group
The group described those behind the protest targeted at ensuring the arrest and prosecution of Adams Oshiomhole, National Chairman of the APC, as "enemies of progress".
by SaharaReporters, New York Oct 10, 2018
A group, under the aegis of Nigeria Progressives Vanguard, has berated those behind the protest that trailed the primary elections of the All Progressives Congress (APC) across the country.
Scores of APC members from Kano, Niger and Nasarawa states, had besieged the national secretariat of the party in Abuja last week to protest against the outcome of the just concluded party primaries in their states. See Also ACTIVISM Angry Youth Barricade APC National Secretariat, Chase Out Staff 0 Comments 1 Year Ago
However, the group described those behind the protest targeted at ensuring the arrest and prosecution of Adams Oshiomhole, National Chairman of the APC, as "enemies of progress".
The group made its position known in a press statement signed by its President, Dr Mohammad Ishaq and made available to journalists on Wednesday, in Abuja.
The statement read: "It has come to our notice that some undesirable elements are gradually, but steadily, unveiling an orchestrated plan, aimed at tarnishing the good image of the APC National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole. After trying different ideas without success, they've now come out with frivolous accusations of fraud against the amiable party chairman, and at the same time putting unnecessary pressure on the anti-graft agencies to arrest and prosecute him.
"It doesn't require rocket science for one to know that those behind these shameful acts are none other than enemies of progress, who are visibly unhappy with the principled stance that Com. Oshiomhole has taken since assumption of office.
"These detractors are unhappy that the current APC National Chairman and his team are repositioning the APC and taking the party away from them and back to the masses, who are the original owners of the party. We are very much aware that this is a fall-out of the recently concluded APC primaries where the national chairman stood firm in favour of justice and equity. Those who before now thought they own the party in their respective states were cut to size, hence their resolve to fight dirty."
The group, however, called on the national chairman to ignore the detractors and remain focused, noting that the task of rebuilding Nigeria and strengthening democratic principles cannot be compromised.

Irish Historical Sites. 5 to See in Ulster
written by Lulu O'Sullivan 25 June, 2021
Hi everyone. I hope I find you all well this week. Time to get on the virtual road once more as we take a tour of some must-see Irish historical sites, province by province. We begin our journey in Ulster and travel though some of its nine beautiful counties. First stop, County Down
Irish Historical Sites in Ulster
1. Mount Stewart
The stunning Mount Stewart house dates back some 250 years and is beautifully situated on the eastern shores of Strangford Lough. In 2015, the house underwent a major restoration and now visitors can feast their eyes on the many treasures and artworks the house has to offer. Then there are the absolutely magnificent gardens which are considered to among the best in the world. Among the many themed gardens on the estate is the stunning Shamrock garden, inspired by Irish mythology.
2. Dunluce Castle
We head up north now along the Causeway Coastal Route in County Antrim to stop off at Dunluce Castle. When it comes to Irish historical sites it doesn't much more dramatic than this! These fairytale ruins perch on a cliff top overlooking the beautiful north Antrim coastline and date back to around 1500. Dunluce Castle is connected to the mainland by a bridge and is believed to have inspired C.S Lewis when writing his tales of Narnia.
3. Mussenden Temple
We follow this beautiful coastal route even further north into County Derry. Mussenden Temple dates back to 1783 and was built as a library for Frideswide Bruce, the niece of the then 4th Earl of Bristol and Bishop of Derry. The location is just divine. The temple perches 120ft above the Atlantic giving breathtaking views.
4. Devenish Island
We head south east across Ulster now to County Fermanagh. There are some 154 islands on Lough Erne and Devenish Island is truly magical. It came into being as a monastic site in the 6th century and was founded by Saint Molaise. Today, you can still see surviving buildings from the 12th century as well as a 15th century church and high cross.

5. Grianán of Aileach
Our final stop takes us to the north of County Donegal to step back in time to ancient Ireland. Grianán of Aileach is a stone ringfort which stands on a hilltop in Inishowen with incredible views of the Inishowen Peninsula, Lough Swilly and Lough Foyle. The original structure dates back to around the 6th or 7th century and was the royal seat of the Gaelic Kingdom of Ailech. Major restoration of the fort took place in 1870.
Well I hope you enjoyed our tour of historical Ulster as much as I did. Drop by next week as we venture into the province of Connaught.

Ok so using FX linker you can emit objects attached to particles.
But does anyone know a way that to point the fx linker to a directory full of different objects and either emit them randomly or even in order based on numbering or alphabetically?

A Comparative View of Christianity: And of the Other Forms of ..., 2. köide
By William Laurence Brown
of the soul, with how much greater truth is that character claimed by the Christian scheme, which, from the "death of sin," restores men to the life of holiness," and renders them " а chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that they should show forth the praises of him who hath called them out of darkness into his marvellous light!"
EXTENSION.
CHAP. V.
OF THE EXTERNAL MEANS WHICH CHRISTIANITY HAS APPOINTED FOR ITS PRESERVATION AND
THE last branch of the Christian scheme which I proposed briefly to delineate, is, the means of its preservation, extension, and diffusion in the world. To this I shall now direct the attention of my reader.
Founders of states, of sects of philosophy and of religion, have always desired to perpetuate their institutions and their discipline, and to extend them as far as possible. This desire is not
a 1 Pet. ii. 9.
prompted merely by the love of fame and of posthumous reputation, but has in many instances originated in a much nobler principle. Persuaded of the salutary and beneficent nature of the doctrines which they taught, or of the institutions which they established, they were moved by feelings of philanthropy, to take the most effectual measures for their preservation, their transmission to posterity, and their communication to the rest of mankind, by the instruction and eloquence of their disciples.
It is no wonder, therefore, that the Saviour of the world, animated by that unparalleled love of mankind which pervaded the whole series of his actions and sufferings, connected with his doctrine the most efficacious means of its maintenance and dissemination through the world, even to the end of time.
The first measure for this purpose was, to consign it to faithful and genuine records, and to secure the integrity of these through all succeeding generations. The incarnate Son of God left no writings of his own; but the task of recording his life and doctrine, whether as delivered by his own lips, or as further unfolded by those whom he commissioned for this purpose, was executed by his apostles and disciples, who were guarded from mistake and error by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, received by them with irrefragable attestation after his ascension into
heaven. Hence, the writings of the New Testament are the infallible standards of Christian faith and manners, without which, both must have rested on the shifting foundation of mere tradition, and been exposed to all the uncertainty and corruption which tradition never fails to produce. We see what have been its fatal effects whenever it has been allowed to intermingle its apocryphal influence with the genuine dictates of the sacred record, and with what difficulty it has been cleared away in a considerable part of Christendom, even with the aid and guidance of the written record. As long, however, as this remains, (and we have the pledge of God's wisdom and goodness that it will remain till the end of the world,) we possess an oracle to which we can always appeal for the purity of doctrine, discipline, and worship, and for the correction of every abuse and corruption by which they have already been, or may afterterwards be, debased and perverted.
But this is by no means sufficient for the preservation, the power, and the propagation of Christianity. The sacred writings, being expressed in human language, the only means of conveying divine truth to human beings, are subject, in many cases, to that diversity of signification which is inseparable from every form of language employed by man. The great body of mankind, although they may easily under
stand their general import, and all that is absolutely necessary for salvation, are incapable of that accuracy of knowledge, and that discrimination of judgment, which are requisite for the right application of scripture to emerging cases and circumstances, on which correct religious opinion and just moral conduct must necessarily depend. Neither have they leisure and inclination to render divine truth the permanent object of their study, and to give it that influence over their minds which will render it effectual for resisting temptations to vice, for placing duty in its preeminent dignity, and for regulating the whole tenour of conduct. The great body of mankind require religious instructors, appointed times for receiving instruction, and assiduous guardians of their spiritual concerns.
Christianity separates also its professors from the three other denominations of religion which I have already considered, Jews, Pagans, and Mahomedans ; and although it dissolves not, but rather strengthens, even in regard to these, the ties of a common nature, yet it draws that line of discrimination which is prescribed by its essence and general character, and establishes a spiritual community among all who unite in one common form of doctrine, worship, and discipline. No community can subsist without order and government adapted to its peculiar nature, and without persons duly qualified to main
tain the one and to conduct the other. Such order and government our Saviour and apostles actually established in the Christian church, as one important means of preserving and extending the religion which they published, and left as their best legacy to the human race. This leads me directly to the consideration of the nature and characteristics of a Christian church.
Our word church is evidently of Saxon origin in the first instance, and of Greek origin in the second. The German word is kirch, the Dutch, kerk, the Scotish, kirk, and the Greek, zugiazov, signifying the place or temple of the Lord. This was contracted into kuriak, or kyrk ; and lastly, more grossly corrupted in English than in any other language, by being converted into church. I must beg leave here to observe, that it appears to me a weak attempt to throw a species of ridicule on the church of Scotland, by always denominating it the kirk, as if it were something different from a church. Those of the church of England who exhibit this silly affectation, seem not to consider that the term kirk is not significative of any particular form of worship or ecclesiastical government, but expresses every species of spiritual and Christian society, whatever be its peculiar doctrines or government. In speaking of the Gallican church, those persons should, on this principle, call it the église of France, or designate the Italian church by the term, the chiesa of Italy. The

Clerkenwell interior design project for a residential apartment refurbishment. Drawing on the existing industrial character of the concrete ceiling in this loft style open plan apartment.
The kitchen dining area is visually separated from the living area by a replica illuminated concrete beam, which runs perpendicular to the original. This duplicate structure fitted with a seamless backlit LED luminaire with colour temperature controllable technology and continuing above the efficiently concealed integrated kitchen. Other lighting features include traditional filament bulbs and a crystal chandelier juxtaposed against the industrial ceiling.
Cedar of lebanon timber planks line the entrance. This fragrant timber lining, meticulously detailed and constructed to maximise space in the apartment plan. A gradient of stained strips connecting this surface to the surrounding white surfaces.
Re-organisation of the entrance route allowed the enlargement of the existing bedroom area to incorporate built in wardrobes and any surplus space filled by carefully concealed cupboards. One of these concealed doors accessing the bathroom, whose curved corners soften the geometry of the room and enhance the surface qualities and texture of the full height black porcelain hexagon wall tiles.
A raised cedar wood plinth with CNC cut detail, creates a border to the living area and transitional step up to the open planted terraces. Remote controllable blackout roller blinds and voile curtains allow a variety of ways to control the light of the rooms interiors.


Unlike earlier eras the advertising in 21st century manifested its potential to make significant changes to the customary and ordinary advertising practices. Many choices are available when it comes to choosing what means one wants to advertise or market certain goods or services or brand name. With the advancement of technology and communication advertising trends also started to run parallel with such progress. Here are some interesting advertising trends that can be seen in the 21st century.
With the advancement of technology it is not just the modes of communication of advertisements that have increased. The number of ways that can make the advertisements more effective has also increased. The tools which can give a greater visual effect, auditory effect and olfactory effect have been developed to bring out creative concepts Dubai that can get imprinted in the minds of the target communities. Since the visual effect of advertisements have been found out to be most felt way of communication most of the advertisements seek to bring out that effect in advertisements. The use of advertisements in newspapers, magazines are somewhat diminished nevertheless still they are considered as main means of advertising.
Most of the businesses are spread beyond the limits of the countries and the merger of business cultures and globalization of other aspects of the world have necessitated the need for the advertisements to be globalized as well. The same product is required to be advertised in different countries and this is a special feature in the 21st century advertising. Most of the advertisements in 21st century seek to be global. For that such seek to represent universal themes in such advertisements purporting to entice a larger community. Themes such as morality, humanity, love, affection are chosen in most of the advertisements. Some businesses seek to study the target communities separately and advertise the products and services accordingly as well.


After finding that its snowmelt system on Carriage Way accounts for more than two-thirds of its utility spending, the town of Snowmass Village is considering upgrading it to save energy and costs.
The town has been monitoring the energy consumption of its primary buildings and facilities and seeking an area where it could work on its efficiency. The snowmelt system, which keeps the town's primary access road to the ski area clear during the winter, was found to be a major area for improvement, the Town Council learned on May 18.
Nick Kertz, the town's facilities maintenance superintendent, developed a way for the public works department to remotely access the snowmelt system. That meant for the first winter in its history, the system could be shut off when it didn't need to be on, amounting to a 30-percent saving in electricity usage and more than that in gas, the more expensive form of energy needed to make it run, Kertz said.
"Having an impact there has a major impact not only on our carbon footprint but also our expenditures," Kertz said.
But the team is suggesting further improvements that would make the system more efficient, including to the controls, which Kertz said are less sophisticated than those of a snowmelt system for a residential driveway. Right now, public works staff members are the predictive controls, he said.
At an estimated cost of over $1.6 million, though, the improvements are pricey. Public Works Director Anne Martens suggested conducting some public outreach before pursuing the project. More financial analysis needs to be done, too, she said, although with an estimated annual savings of $170,000, the project will likely pay itself off in about 10 years.
The public works department would like to complete the analysis before the annual budget process this fall.

Millennials Want to Tan, No Matter the Risks
D-briefBy Bill AndrewsApril 27, 2018 1:25 AM
(Credit: Maridav/Shutterstock) In my youth, a popular song advised its listeners — purportedly a class graduating in 1999 — to "wear sunscreen." It's the narrator's number one tip for the future, as "the long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists." Apparently my fellow millennials didn't get the message. According to a study in the Journal of Consumer Affairs, my generation doesn't know much about how important sunscreen is to health and continues to sunbathe — particularly people with low self-esteem and narcissistic tendencies. The actual title of the paper is a thing to behold: I Know, but I Would Rather Be Beautiful: "The Impact of Self-Esteem, Narcissism, and Knowledge on Addictive Tanning Behavior in Millennials." It's easy to see write this off as another story in the vein of "Those darn millennials!" but the findings actually reveal a lot about a huge public health hazard, and help reveal a way to mitigate it in the future.
First, let's clarify. Millennials might not be who you think they are: Young people. The term usually refers to people born from the early 1980s to the early 2000s; they're in college and their late 30s. Kids in high school today, and younger, are considered Gen Z. (I actually consider myself part of the Oregon Trail generation, and not a millennial, but that's just splitting hairs.) So this isn't a "kids are dumb about tanning" story, it's a "younger adults are dumb about tanning" story. Specifically, the study involved 256 older college students (no freshmen) enrolled at "a major university in the southwestern United States," as the authors cryptically state. And boy do they love tanning!
Based on an online questionnaire, the study tracked participants' general knowledge of sunscreen, their enthusiasm and reasons for tanning, and their levels of self-esteem and narcissism. Most depressingly: It turned out it didn't matter how much they knew about the dangers of tanning and the power of sunscreen — tanners gonna tan. Not that there was too much knowledge there in the first place; on the 11 fact-based questions, the participants scored an average of 54 percent. Examples include: "What do you think SPF stands for?" (sun protection factor — 47 percent got this right) and "True or False: When applied correctly SPF 100 is twice as effective as SPF 50" (False — 48 percent go this right). Students with lower self-esteem and higher narcissism were more likely to exhibit "addictive tanning levels," and they mostly did it for cosmetic or emotional reasons, to look or feel better. A third of participants said having a tan is important to them, with 70 percent "purposefully exposing their body to the sun in order to achieve a tan," as the study puts it. That's a lot of sun.
Skin Job
The context, of course, is skin cancer. It's the most common type of cancer in the world — more than 3.5 million cases diagnosed a year — and it makes up nearly half of all cancers in the U.S. And things are getting worse. From 1970 to 2009, women ages 18-39 in the U.S. have seen an 800 percent increase in melanoma rates. This is serious stuff. Current public safety campaigns are focused on education, hoping that if people knew the dangers and how to avoid them (i.e., covering up more and wearing sunscreen more often), they'd act on them. Turns out, that's not really the case. So at least researchers know they have to come up with a new way of reaching younger people, who can do the most to avoid harmful solar exposure. It'll take some work convincing people that tans aren't as healthy and beautiful as they think. "There's no such thing as a safe tan," the FDA warns. What better time, with summer and graduation season coming up, to remember the advice of "The Suncreen Song"? Respect your elders, millennials: Wear sunscreen!

The Miitomo launch trailer has given us a chance to see what Nintendo's first smartphone app can do.
The app allows you to create and dress up your own in-game avatar, or Mii, and then answer random questions asked to you, to which friends can then judge the responses.
You Mii will also be given a voice, which will then speak back the answers you type, and friends will also say their answers using basic text-to-speech software, meaning everyone has a slightly-eery robotic voice.
The last feature shown off is Miifoto, where you can pose your avatar in different positions before taking a snap, or take a picture of yourself with your Mii, which can then be shared via social media.
To start with Miitomo looks like a pretty basic app, hopefully it will grow with more advanced features and options post-launch.
Miitomo will launch some time this month as a free download for mobile devices.

In a popular Geico commercial about Abe Lincoln's honesty, there's a video of Mary Todd Lincoln supposedly asking Abe if she looks fat in the dress she's wearing. Abe is tormenting over his answer, until he indicates that maybe it does make her look fat, "just a little," as she storms out of the room.
In the workplace, there are times when we're asked questions that a truthful response may result in hurt feelings. It can put us in an uncomfortable position.
When we need to deliver difficult truths, ask clarifying questions, pray for God's help making knowledge acceptable, then offer up your response carefully, with love. Truth without kindness is not easily accepted.

Rawlings Distances Himself from Buhari "Lazy Youth" Comment
By Cephas Larbi	 Last updated Apr 22, 2018
Jerry John Rawlings
Former Ghanaian leader Jerry John Rawlings has distanced himself from comments made by President, Muhammadu Buhari, who described the youth of Nigeria as lazy.
The Nigerian President, speaking at the 25th Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting on Wednesday, April 18 in London described the youth of his country as lazy people who are always desperate for freebies.
"About the economy", Buhari said, "We have a very young population, our population is estimated conservatively to be 180 million. This is a very conservative one.
"More than 60 percent of the population is below 30, a lot of them haven't been to school and they are claiming that Nigeria is an oil-producing country, therefore, they should sit and do nothing, and get housing, health care, education free."
Buhari has been criticised severally for his comments which have generated several social media hashtags in Nigeria.
However, the office of Mr Rawlings has noted that in recent days several Nigerian news portals and social media pages have suggested that he has declared his support for Buhari's comments.

Longtime San Francisco Chamber Orchestra conductor Benjamin Simon leads Handel's "Acis and Galatea" this week. (Courtesy Dona Kopol Bonick)
SF Chamber Orchestra stages free 'Night at the Opera'
Janos Gereben
Feb. 19, 2019 12:00 a.m.
As Berkeley Repertory Theatre's triumphant revival of Mary Zimmermann's "Metamorphoses" is being extended through March 24, San Francisco Chamber Orchestra is getting ready to present three free performances of "Acis and Galatea," Handel's opera based also based on Ovid's tales about transformations.
Written 300 years ago, "Acis and Galatea" was the German composer's first of many dramatic works written in English, including "Messiah." The text, based on an episode from "Metamorphoses," is by John Gay, author of "The Beggar's Opera," and the poet Alexander Pope.
The tale is about the love between Galatea, a semi-divine nymph, and Acis, a simple shepherd. Their romance is disrupted by the jealous cyclops Polyphemus, who kills Acis, but Galatea transforms her lover into an immortal river spirit.
"If you like the 'Messiah,' you will love 'Acis and Galatea,'" says SFCO Music Director Benjamin Simon, in his 17th season with the group.
Three SFCO "A Night at the Opera" performances this week in San Francisco, Palo Alto and Berkeley are free, as is the case with all Chamber Orchestra concerts since the group was established in 1953.
SFCO is the only fully professional chamber orchestra in the U.S. that performs all concerts admission-free, including MainStage Series concerts for adults, a family series for children, and a "very first" series for toddlers in communities around the Bay Area.
The orchestra is supported by grants, a membership program and an annual gala event. This year's "Two for Tango" is March 23 at the St. Regis Hotel.
Simon, a well-known violist, also leads the award-winning youth ensemble Palo Alto Chamber Orchestra, another association about which he's "extremely proud." He adds, "Our musicians love to perform with the orchestra, and it shows."
"Acis and Galatea," which features the young musicians, young vocal soloists and the San Francisco Choral Society led by Magen Solomon, represents SFCO's first semi-staged full-length opera production.
The program was selected by orchestra executive director Renay Conlin, a soprano, who, with Simon, arranged a promising cast of rising young opera stars including Natalie Image as Galatea, Kevin Gino as Acis, Isaiah Bell as Damon and Alex Rosen as Polyphemus.
Image is a second-year San Francisco Opera Adler Fellow and Metropolitan Opera National Council Grand Finalist who previously appeared with SFCO, singing "Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5" by Villa-Lobos.
Filipino-American tenor Gino, like Image, is alumnus of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, and a student of SFCM Voice Department Chair César Ulloa.
Canadian tenor Bell has Handel on the mind, with engagements in "Messiah" and the rarely performed "Resurrection" in the future, and Philharmonia Baroque "Ode for St. Cecilia's Day" in the recent past.
California-born bass Rosen has degrees from Peabody Conservatory and Rice University; he is currently enrolled at the Juilliard School.

The Bank of England's interest rate-setting committee signalled on Wednesday that it was retreating from quantitative easing as a means of stimulating the economy, preferring a more "mixed" strategy including guiding markets.
The minutes of the July Monetary Policy Committee meeting said that financial markets had prematurely withdrawn stimulus from the economy in June and the immediate priority for maintaining economic recovery was to counter these market moves.
The emphasis on guiding markets in the first set of minutes under new governor Mark Carney showed the BoE was moving away from QE as its preferred strategy.
Instead, the nine members of the MPC focused on guiding markets and voted unanimously to hold interest rates at 0.5 per cent and leave the stock of assets purchased under the quantitative easing programme at £375bn.
The MPC noted that "market interest rates had risen sharply internationally" reflecting a change in perceptions over US monetary policy and the movement higher of short-term market interest rates "represented an unwelcome tightening in monetary conditions that, were it to persist, would risk hampering the emerging recovery".


OneCreativeCat: Sewing Class and Sammy!
I took my class to make a purse today at SewObsessed! Wow, that was fun! But it is a lot of work! Class was from 11:00 to 4:30!! I still had to topstich my handles when I left but came right home and got them done!I chose Vintage Kitchen fabric as the main fabric...I just love this and I learned so much!!
I really love how well made this is, thank you, Tanya, for teaching me I could make a purse! Everybody in class had a different spin on the purse and they all looked fabulous!
P.S. Just an update on Sammy, he is still hanging out, he loves to show up for breakfast then dinner and come in and lounge around the house, but then he wants to leave becuase he has business to attend to, I am hoping to get him to the vet to get clipped and checked out next month!
He is such a lover and a lap kitty, he loves to jump up on my chair and sit with me after breakfast! I have tried to collar him 3 times with breakaway collars but they last 1 maybe 2 days and they are gone, not sure if someone is removing them or he gets into tight spots and loses them. Anyway, Toby still hates him and makes it known he is not welcome here...Toby is such a grouch! I should have named him Oscar!!
You ROCK, Chica - you did such a beautiful job! We usually don't go that long, but I wanted to make sure everyone finished today - the gal in the back had never done a purse before. LOVE this one with the kitchen kitsch!!!
And I love that Sammy, too...he is so pretty! I'll bet Toby needs some "pets" though...I still love him best!
Oy! such a kute kitchen katch-all bag. such a talent, mine little lizard!
sammy is looking so good. he must have had a home sometime, he is so friendly. can't blame ol' toby for getting upset...it's his house you know!! treat him extra good.
As I said when I saw your purse, I love it and you did a real fantastic job - keep it going, Chica!
I love Toby and look how nice he just lays there and looks at the camera, not my kitties!!!!!!
Oops, I guess I should pay attention to what I am reading - that's not Toby! Does Sammy ever want to spend the evening? He looks like my two Tabby's!

Very satisfied with the service! I have 2 more bus trips, booked!
How did I not know about this service before today? Awesome!
Those guys are in a simple word theives. I bought a ticket from Naples to Lakeland for Monday march 11. In my ticket I had to board at the bus stop on 6565 dudlet Dr Naples. What happened no bus showed up that day.
Eian was very helpful with a passenger who was upset about where she was going to be dropped off it was different than what was on her ticket. He listened and helped her problem solve .
Really enjoyed the experience overall. Was caught off guard with the "bus" being an unmarked minivan, but Jonathan was nothing but professional and I made it to my destination on time.
The ride was great, and the driver very friendly and helpful!
I was sold a ticket Florida Red Line that supposedly came to McDonalds. Never showed. Hurried to make it to Port Charlotte for an additional $48. it was around $97. instead of $49 which I could have gotten Greyhound for had FL Red Line not lied to me that there was a bus coming to McDonalds.
Very polite drivers. Very organized and well run business. Would use them again.
Florida Red Line was an easy way to travel to and from Miami. I plan to use the line again in February for my next cruise and have passed on the information for busbuds to several other fellow travelers!
It was not a Bus! Inwas picked up by a SUB type vehicle and transfer latwr to another label bigger Minivan Style vehicle! Everybody was very nice and helpful! But I did mot know it wasn't a Bus because your advertisement is as a Bus! It is misleading even if the service is very good!
Great service from this company. Good price, bus arrived on time. Dropped at Port Lauderdale in under 2 hours. Lady was very pleasant & helpfull.
Great way to travel long distance. The driver was prompt and professional. Will use them again!
It was more a shuttle than a bus. Too crowded, very uncomfortable, and not safe with over speeding.
Bus driver was great, quick trip.
45 minutes late not a simple notification. Called the number provided said they did not know where the driver was. They said will call me back , but no phone call.
Shuttle was on time and driver was friendly and professional. The vehicle was cramped with 4 passengers in the 3rd row. Relieved the stress of driving in the Miami area and dealing with poorly run parking lots and garages in the cruise port area.

50th Anniversary Weekend awareness campaign to launch with cupcake party
The campus community is invited to join the celebration as the Office of Public Affairs launches an awareness campaign this week to highlight the University's 50th anniversary celebration weekend coming in September.
On Wednesday, beginning at 11:30 a.m., visitors to the CAW Student Centre Commons area can enjoy a cupcake and learn more about how to volunteer and participate in Celebration Weekend activities, scheduled from September 19 to 22. September activities will include class reunion events, a vintage car show, homecoming football game, children's fun zone, signature entertainment at Caesars Windsor, and more.
"Wednesday's event is really meant to get people thinking about how they can get involved in helping to celebrate UWindsor's first 50 years," says Holly Ward, chief communications officer. "This is going to be a great way for people to connect with their alma mater, whether they graduated in the sixties or just last year—we will have something planned for everyone."
The Office of Public Affairs has already begun collecting nostalgic photos and memorabilia that will be displayed and shared on its 50th anniversary web page and in a display case at Leddy Library. Alumni can share their own memories and photos at http://www.uwindsor.ca/anniversary/contact
As well, the first of a series of advertisements promoting the event will be rolled out this week, using a 1963 yearbook photo as its focus.
"We wanted to create a sense of nostalgia and history for both our alumni and current students," Ward says of the ad campaign. "It is a walk down memory lane for some and a chance for today's students to see how things used to be on campus. The 50th anniversary will be a wonderful event for everyone associated with the university and we wanted to give people plenty of time to plan their schedules to join us."
For more information on the 50th Anniversary Weekend, visit www.uwindsor.ca/anniversary.

Prepared Restorative Justice Group Circle. This is where a conflict is discussed at length. Pupils are asked if they would be prepared to join in a group to discuss and help resolve a particular issue. The adult facilitator will take notes to aid clarification. An agreement may be reached and some pupils will be asked to sign their name to that agreement. Several pupils or a whole class may be involved, the majority may not have been directly involved but will be there to offer their valued opinion, especially if the issue raised could be having an effect on their enjoyment of school. If a pupil takes part in a Restorative circle they will receive a sticker in their planner.

We all know the basic story. Britney Spears "exclusively" sold her wedding photos (and a post-wedding interview) to the British magazine, 'OK!'. 'People' magazine, in America, which is affiliated with 'OK!', bought the photos and interview from 'OK!' and had their own "exclusive" within the US. Most would argue that this was attention seeking enough – selling your photos, and doing an interview mere days after the ceremony, but it gets far worse.
Britney and Kevin Federline actually posed for two sets of pictures, one for each magazine. The proof: Picture 1 (since removed). Kevin removing the garter from Britney's leg, as seen in PEOPLE magazine. No one else in the picture, Britney standing up. Picture 2 (since removed). Britney now sitting, surrounded by people, as Kevin removes the garter once again, as seen in OK! Magazine.
Even her most diligent apologists cannot deny what has been caught on camera. Britney and Kevin, posing for the same 'tradition' TWICE, one for each magazine the pictures were "exclusively" sold to. They went to pitiful lengths to get the maximum profit from their pictures. This was no 'surprise' wedding, no 'sacred day' like Britney claims. It was a posed photoshoot. It was TWO posed photoshoots.
