Traditionally the development of eLearning content relied on professional multimedia developers with specialised equipment to author bespoke content. Over the past decade a range of rapid authoring tools have emerged on the market which enable the novice developer to create multimedia rich content. Products such as Articulate Studio & Storyline, Adobe Presenter, Captivate, Lectora and RapideL are becoming commonplace in Higher Education (HE) as tools of choice for academics to produce online content over products such as Adobe Flash, Premiere and Dreamweaver which are popular with professional multimedia developers. Licenses for these rapid authoring tools however can be expensive and costs can quickly rise for a HE programme team. While not requiring significant processing power academics would require updated hardware to run these applications and possibly audio and video capture hardware. Recently new solutions to the rapid authoring market are available for tablet devices in the format of Apps. With the increase of tablet ownership by academic staff, opportunities arise whereby staff can bring their own device (BYOD) to work to develop online content using these Apps which are significantly cheaper than desktop applications. The Apps typically utilise the tablet's inbuilt microphone and video camera, thereby negating the requirement for additional hardware to be purchased. To investigate this opportunity further UCD Teaching and Learning in conjunction with the UCD School of Physics undertook a pilot project to explore the potential use of one rapid authoring App Explain Everything (www.morriscooke.com). The App was installed on a staff member's own iPad and cost €2.69. The App allows the user to import a range of media, create annotations, record narrations and capture handwritten content through the iPad. The App can export to a range of formats and to a range of local and hosted options. For the pilot project a range of mini physics tutorials was created for a module for first year agriculture students. The module was designed in a flipped classroom format. This poster explores the potential of the App, it's perceived advantages and disadvantages, discusses student and staff feedback, and explores whether BYOD can be a low cost solution for academic staff to generate online content for their students.

Q: How to convert a tcl variable value to specific format how can I convert
set var "USE_90a_Sc_ttv"

to
set out "9.0a ttv Sc"

using tcl code?
Regards,
Divesh

A: Use the split, lassign and regsub functions:
lassign [split $var _] prefix version type tag
regsub {(\d(\w)?)$} $version {.\1} nversion
set out "$nversion $tag $type"

If you are using an older version and don't have lassign available, you
can use lindex to retrieve specific items from the list returned by split.
set tlist [split $var _]
set version [lindex $tlist 1]
set type [lindex $tlist 2]
set tag [lindex $tlist 3]
regsub {(\d(\w)?)$} $version {.\1} nversion
set out "$nversion $tag $type"

A: I'd use scan to parse that, and list to assemble the results.
set var "USE_90a_Sc_ttv"

# Remember to check the result of [scan] for number of parsed fields
if {[scan $var {USE_%1d%2[^_]_%2[^_]_%3s%c} a b c d e] != 4} {
    error "Unexpected input data! '$var'"
}
set out [list $a.$b $d $c]

Putting a %c at the end of the format lets me detect if there are any unexpected characters at the end. There shouldn't be; only 4 fields ought to be satisfied. This makes for a quick way to check that what I've got is what I expect. Also, %2[^_] is an unusual field specifier, but all it does is ask for 2 non-underscore characters.

Q: Angular passes wrong object in ng-repeat (MEAN-Stack) I am building a platform to manage exams for my institute. I use the MEAN-Stack.
Everything works fine except for deleting a "klausur" (german for exam). The Code is below. If i click the last link (using the "deleteKlausur(klausur)" click) on any object of the table, not the momentary object, but the last of my one is deleted inside of my table. Inside of the DB, the right one is deleted. If i then click on the same button again, the server breaks down and because it tries to delete the same ID again, giving me a problem concerning a null object.

            ID
            Name
            Datum
            Semester
            Aufgabenzahl
            Teilnehmer
            Aktionen

                {{klausur._id}}
                {{klausur.name}}
                {{klausur.gehaltenAm | date:'dd.MM.yy'}}

{{klausur.gehaltenAm | date:'H:mm'}}

                {{klausur.semester}}
                {{klausur.aufgaben.length}}
                {{klausur.teilnehmer.length}}
                Klausur
                    ändern

                    Klausur löschen

My JS (using Angular) script is as following:
app.controller('KlausurListController', function ($scope, $http) {
$http.get('http://localhost:3000/klausuren').success(function (response) {
    $scope.klausuren = response;
}).error(function (err) {
    $scope.error = err;
});

$scope.deleteKlausur = function (klausur) {
    $http.delete('http://localhost:3000/klausuren/'+ klausur._id).success(function(res){
        $scope.klausuren.pop(klausur);
    });
}});

Thank you , even for reading the whole thing! Hope you can help!

A: You are using pop() which only removes the last element in an array.
To remove the correct one you need to find it's index in array and use splice()
$scope.deleteKlausur = function (klausur) {
    $http.delete('http://localhost:3000/klausuren/'+ klausur._id).success(function(res){
        var index = $scope.klausuren.indexOf(klausur);
        if(index !== -1){
           $scope.klausuren.splice(index,1);
        }
    });
}});


Money. Scandals. Love. Hate. Rodeo cowboys.
People's thoughts wandered in lots of different directions when they were asked to reflect on outstanding moments and inspirational people from 2013.
Emilia Gotti said the year was filled with ups and downs.
On one hand, the Fayetteville resident said, she was able to return to her native Italy and hug her parents for the first time in four years.
"We love Skype," she said. "But it's not the same as being there."
On the other, money didn't seem to stretch as far as it once did. Gotti said she'd like to secure a part-time job to supplement her husband's paycheck, but she hasn't been able to find anything.
"This year was hard because the money goes so fast," Gotti said as she watched her two young children play in Honeycutt Park. "In 2012, I was able to save. I like to put something in savings for my kids' college, but I can't do that this year."
As with every year, 2013 held challenges - and rewards.
Roger Shaw said his financial picture clouded this year - the 63-year-old Virginia Beach resident lost his job installing telecommunications equipment when his employer lost its government contract. He said he hasn't been able to find similar work since.
But Shaw, in town to get together with friends, said he isn't gloomy about his future.
"I might even go ahead and retire," Shaw said during a break from playing disc golf at Mazarick Park. But he said he'd wait to do that until after his unemployment benefits ran out.
Miriam Ford, pushing her 3-year-old granddaughter in a swing at Mazarick Park, said 2013 has had its challenges but has also "been great for me."
"I just try to take things one day at a time," she said. "I try not to have a bad day. I'm at the age where you learn a lot of patience."
Standing by play equipment at Honeycutt Park, where his children climbed and giggled, Kevin Richardson had an immediate answer when asked what he remembered most from 2013: "Boston," he said, referring to the marathon bombing. Richardson is a runner but wasn't in Boston that day.
"Obamacare," he said, then added, "It was a good year, though. The financial markets were good this year."
The New York resident, who was in Fayetteville to visit family, said he works in finance in New York City.
Laura Richardson, his wife, said 2013's memorable events unfortunately included federal government scandals involving the IRS and the NSA.
But, she said, the year also brought Pope Francis with his unusual warmth, humility and humanity.
"He really has been a pleasant surprise," she said. "I think he's shaking things up for the good."
Steve Yanagi, a New Hampshire resident in Fayetteville to visit his son's family, said he has been impressed this year by his state's all-female congressional delegation and particularly by Sen. Kelly Ayotte who, like him, is a Republican. Yanagi said Ayotte sticks to conservative principles but also has been willing to work with Democrats, which he said he believes is necessary "to do what's right for the people."
"She's an inspiration," he said. "I would say she is one who has really made a difference."
At the Riverside Dog Park in Fayetteville, Army veteran Steve Young said he found inspiration this year in champion bull rider J.B. Mauney.
"He's the world's greatest," said Young, who's also a bull rider and "into anything" that brings a thrill.
Sylvaine McDonald, who'd accompanied Young to the park, said she found a different sort of inspiration this year - in the soldiers she teaches French to at Fort Bragg.
There are no words for their bravery and willingness to serve long deployments away from home, she said.
McDonald said she also has been touched during the year by small acts of kindness - such as when the stranger in front of her at a coffee shop paid for her order.
"It's the small details," she said. "Sometimes, you feel the world is cold, and then something like that happens and it makes your day."

Q: Join table or create column for few rows I have a table main which contains different types of information.
we call type A B C D and E, for each one I have same 'details' stored in N columns.
The problem: But I need a new 'detail' only for type E
So, I thinks in two solutions

(1) Create a column new_detail in table

*

*this will put NULL in types A B C D.

*type E is 1 per 10 000 rows, and main table have about 50 000 rows/year

(2) Create a new_table with main_id new_detail and join it

*

*The join is only required when E type is in use (not always)

Which method is a best practice and why? other solutions are accepted

A: I think that your main problem is about the memory that can be used to generate new columns but don't be afraid to generate new columns, with a simple experiment it is shown that nulls do not occupy memory, apart from the information of the column.
The first solution I think is easier and cleaner, the second is more about the normalization of data that is not the case, just more properties.

First create a table_a with a lot of trash
CREATE TABLE `table_a` (
  `Id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `value` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`Id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

#Execute this a lot of times.
INSERT INTO `table_a` (value) VALUES ('Lorem Ipsum'),('Lorem Ipsum'),('Lorem Ipsum'),('Lorem Ipsum'),('Lorem Ipsum'),('Lorem Ipsum'),('Lorem Ipsum'),('Lorem Ipsum'),('Lorem Ipsum'),('Lorem Ipsum'),('Lorem Ipsum'),('Lorem Ipsum'),('Lorem Ipsum'),('Lorem Ipsum'),('Lorem Ipsum'),('Lorem Ipsum'),('Lorem Ipsum'),('Lorem Ipsum'),('Lorem Ipsum'),('Lorem Ipsum'),('Lorem Ipsum'),('Lorem Ipsum'),('Lorem Ipsum'),('Lorem Ipsum'),('Lorem Ipsum'),('Lorem Ipsum'),('Lorem Ipsum'),('Lorem Ipsum'),('Lorem Ipsum'),('Lorem Ipsum'),('Lorem Ipsum'),('Lorem Ipsum'),('Lorem Ipsum');

I created 1980 rows and this has a size of 9+176 KB

Then create a table_b cloning the table_a but with multiple NULL columns
CREATE TABLE `table_b` (
  `Id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `value` varchar(255) NULL DEFAULT NULL,
  `a` varchar(255) NULL DEFAULT NULL,
  `b` varchar(255) NULL DEFAULT NULL,
  `c` varchar(255) NULL DEFAULT NULL,
  `d` varchar(255) NULL DEFAULT NULL,
  `e` varchar(255) NULL DEFAULT NULL,
  `f` varchar(255) NULL DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`Id`)
)  ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

INSERT INTO `table_b` (value) SELECT value FROM `table_a`;

Like table_a, it has the same size but the head is larger. (13+176 KB)

But we copy the value column to a we get this.
 UPDATE table_b SET A=value;

If the data is NULL this not affect

A: Method 2 is better: create a separate table to store the data associated with the "E" types. This is a fundamental principle of data normalization.


"Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" was introduced in 1944 by Judy Garland in the musical Meet Me in St. Louis, "a love of a film" as one critic put it. Frank Sinatra later recorded a version with modified lyrics, which has become more common than the original. The song was credited to Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane, although during a December 21, 2006 NPR interview, Martin said that Blane had encouraged him to write the song but had not had anything more to do with writing it. In 2007, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) ranked "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" the third most-performed Christmas song written by ASCAP members of the past five years.

Q: help deriving Beta function as a ratio of Gamma functions It comes directly from the wikipedia page on the Beta function.
$$
\begin{aligned}
\Gamma(x) \Gamma(y) &= \int_{u=0}^\infty e^{-u}u^{x-1} du \;\; \cdot \;\; \int_{v=0}^\infty e^{-v}v^{y-1} dv \\
&= \int_{v=0}^\infty \int_{u=0}^\infty e^{-u - v}u^{x-1} v^{y-1} dudv \\
\end{aligned}
$$
$u = zt$ and $v = z(1-t)$ means that $du = zdt$ and $dv = (1-t)dz$ I get the following after the substitution
$$
\begin{aligned}
&= \int_{z=0}^\infty \int_{t=0}^1 e^{-z}(zt)^{x-1} (z(1-t))^{y-1} z (1 - t) \; dtdz  \\
\end{aligned}
$$
But the Wikipdedia page has it as...
$$
= \int_{z=0}^\infty\int_{t=0}^1 e^{-z} (zt)^{x-1}(z(1-t))^{y-1}z\,dt \,dz
$$
So I must have gone wrong somewhere, but I cannot see my mistake. Can you find it? If I take the Wikipedia page as correct, I can get the rest of the way there, but I do not see why I am getting an extra $(1-t)$ after the substitution.

A:
$u = zt$ and $v = z(1-t)$ means that $du = zdt$ and $dv = (1-t)dz$

This is your error. For multivariable integrations, you need to use the Jacobian to change the variables.
$$
\begin{vmatrix}
\dfrac{∂u}{∂t} & \dfrac{∂v}{∂t} \\
\dfrac{∂u}{∂z} & \dfrac{∂v}{∂z}  \\
\end{vmatrix}
=
\begin{vmatrix}
z & -z\\
t & 1-t\\
\end{vmatrix}
=z
$$

PwC Channel Islands demonstrates confidence in the Channel Islands by welcoming biggest ever intake for Class of 2013
PwC Channel Islands has continued to lay the foundations for sustainable long-term growth in the Channel Islands by welcoming its biggest ever annual intake of graduates and school leavers across its Jersey and Guernsey offices.
As part of this year's 'Class of 2013', the Jersey and Guernsey offices of PwC have welcomed a total of 38 new recruits – a 15% increase on last year's intake. The new recruits, who are all now embarking on a three year training programme to gain professional qualifications, reflect a wealth of home-grown talent, including school leavers who excelled at A-Levels and local graduates with strong degrees. Also amongst the new intake are a number of high quality undergraduates on industry placements and graduates from the UK, further enhancing the diversity of the Channel Islands business.
Of the 21 individuals joining the Jersey office, eleven are Jersey residents: Beth Sinclair, who completed her A-Levels at Canford School in Dorset last year before returning to Jersey; Dominic Gauvin, who was educated at De La Salle College and attended the University of Southampton graduating in Mathematical and Computational Sciences; James Cartwright, who studied at De La Salle College where he completed his A-Levels; Guy Sinclair, who graduated with a degree in Accountancy from Cardiff University this year; James Torvaney, who undertook his A-Levels at Yarm School in the UK; John James who was educated at Victoria College and who graduated with a degree in Forensic Science from Bournemouth University; Marie Le Chevalier, who was educated at Grainville School and completed her A-Levels at Hautlieu School; Rowan Spencer, who undertook his A-Levels at Victoria College; Simon de Gruchy, who was educated at Victoria College and graduated from Brunel University with a degree in Motorsport Engineering; Hayley Bisson, who was educated at Hautlieu School, and studied at Lincolnshire & Humberside University and then Nottingham University where she graduated in Legal Practice; and Sacha Gallichan, who was educated at Jersey College for Girls and obtained a LLB (Hons) Law from Bristol University this year.

Search Results - "Air sacs"
Among extant vertebrates, only birds have a respiratory system associated with pneumatic diverticula. However, several extinct clades also had pneumatic diverticula, including the sauropod dinosaurs. Among sauropods, Saltasaurini are characterized by extreme postcranial pneumaticity, which extends as far down the spinal column as the posterior caudal vertebrae. In this paper the pneumatic foramina in both the neural arches and the centra are described in detail, and the relative proportion of air spaces in the caudal vertebrae is established, revealing that the skeleton of Rocasaurus muniozi was more pneumatized than that of Neuquensaurus australis, with Saltasaurus loricatus intermediate. The level of pneumatization varies between the three saltasaurine taxa: in Neuquensaurus, only the neural arch is pneumatized, whereas in the other two saltasaurines both neural arches and centra are pneumatized. This allows us to hypothesize that the timing of pneumatization varied between the three species, with Rocasaurus muniozi pneumatized earliest in ontogeny. This ontogenetic pattern is correlated with evolutionary derivation: the most derived taxa show pneumatization in both the neural arch and the centrum.

The avian vocal organ (the syrinx) is a versatile organ located at the junction of the primary bronchi and the trachea, where free moveable connective tissue membranes, the labia, are set in oscillatory motion through an energy exchange from the airstream propelled from the air sacs. The rapid membrane oscillations generate air pressure perturbations, sound waves that travel through the trachea and beak before leaving the bird under the form of complex songs. At the base of the song organization stand the syllables, stereotyped acoustic elements arranged into motifs that can be in turn recombined to form the songs, ultimately revealing the action of a sophisticated neural vocal program. The syrinx is therefore a key element in the articulation between the neural vocal program and the singing behavior. This article deals with the mathematical models of the syrinx, whose nonlinear nature allows to explain the bulk of acoustical properties of the songs, while capable of producing synthetic songs driven by real physiological instructions recorded from the activity of muscles and air sac pressure during spontaneous singing, showing good qualitative agreement with experimental song recordings.

Post-election hangover for most Seattle council candidates
David Kroman
/ August 5, 2015
Candidate Michael Maddux, right, has no sorrows to drown, just a chance to celebrate a bit at a pizza place over his apparent success in getting a place on the November ballot.
It wasn't supposed to be this way. In Tuesday's primary election, the top two fundraisers in each Seattle City Council race advanced to the general election, with just two exceptions — Jon Grant and Michael Maddux. The candidates who campaigned as neighborhood representatives did poorly. And, perhaps with the exception of Maddux, there were few strong showings from any underdog candidates.
This primary was the first litmus test for Seattle's new district-based election system, where seven council members are chosen by voters in their area and two members are elected citywide. The hopes of those who helped to pass the new system were that it would localize politics, reduce the influence of money, and make it easier for the smaller guys to campaign on hard work alone. On this first go-round, little of that appears to have happened.
In the hours leading up to the first ballot count Tuesday night, the campaigns of Tony Provine and Abel Pacheco, both from District 4, spoke of hard work reaching out to voters, expressing optimism about their campaigns against better-funded opponents. Provine's campaign manager Laura Bernstein said volunteers were waving signs on Election Day, while Provine himself knocked on doors and made stops at neighborhood events.
After he finished fourth with just 13 percent of the vote, Provine said there had been signs the work might pay off. "We had a great deal of response from people who were excited by the idea of having some direct representation. I was trying to mobilize my neighbors to recognize that we had an opportunity for strong and effective representation from city council for the neighborhood." Pacheco, too, said he'd put in everything he had to the campaign. "In 60 days I knocked on 6,500 doors," he said. "My legs are chiseled. I lost 14 pounds."
This was the type of political system that Faye Garneau of the Aurora Avenue Merchant's Association imagined. Garneau bankrolled the switch from citywide to district elections in 2013, spending more than $200,000 of her own money to campaign on its behalf. "I'm thrilled," she said prior to the election. "The candidates have gone out to the people. And that's what I was trying to achieve. The government belongs to the people."
But it's hard to point to any candidates in the big, 47-person field who were catapulted to success as a direct result of district elections. Maddux would be the most likely: As of Wednesday night, he was beating Councilmember Jean Godden for one of two District 4 spots on the general election ballot. He only raised a third of what Godden did and less than half of what the top vote-getter, Rob Johnson, garnered, and he talked up his doorbelling efforts Tuesday night. While that is certainly a bit of a coup for Maddux, Godden has been on shaky ground since 2011 when she won her race by a mere tenth of 1 percent.
The other surprise winner of a general election spot is Jon Grant, who appears to have finished second in one of the two remaining citywide council positions. He beat John Roderick, a rock musician with name recognition and more than twice the campaign funds. But Grant, a longtime tenants' rights leader, has also grabbed the spotlight recently, thanks to the city's housing debates. He may have also benefited from the strong showing in District 3 for Councilmember Kshama Sawant, with whom he did some campaigning.
Pacheco and Provine expressed disappointed with the results. "I do think [district elections] allows you to beat out some potential distraction that come from outside influence," said Pacheco, but he added, "You've got to have money for people to pay attention in politics."
"It says a lot about the political machinery that's powerful in our city," said Provine. "A lot of money was spent on this race. More than I could believe was put into independent expenditures in this race."
Catherine Weatbrook from District 6 and citywide candidate Bill Bradburd are two other candidates labeled as neighborhood advocates. Although both will advance to the general election, they were trounced by their higher profile opponents, Councilmember Mike O'Brien and former Murray mayoral administration official Lorena Gonzalez, respectively. Weatbrook and Bradburd face long odds in November. "I don't think district elections can counter name recognition unless other things change in the process," said Weatbrook.
As a citywide candidate, Bradburd was never in a position to benefit directly from the district system. But there was some thought that neighborhood issues would be elevated and indirectly benefit someone like Bradburd. "I was expecting to do about 30-35 percent," he said. "But obviously it didn't work out that way." As of Wednesday night, he was around 15 percent, nearly 40 percentage points down from Gonzalez.
Does this signal a failure of the district-based system? Not necessarily. The argument can be made, as former Mayor Mike McGinn has done, that this is a reflection of the power of a Seattle Times or Stranger endorsement. This could also signal that, as a Stranger reporter suggests, Seattle voters really don't endorse neighborhood-based NIMBYism.
For their part, proponents of district elections have remained upbeat. Eugene Wasserman, president of the North Seattle Industrial Association, saw pre-election effects of the shift, implying that the voluntary exits of Sally Clark, Tom Rasmussen and Nick Licata from the Seattle City Council were a result of the new system – a motive all three have denied. "The Council will be changed to a female dominated Council," said Wasserman over e-mail, assuming the election in November of Lorena Gonzalez and Debora Juarez, "with five women, three of whom are minorities, and only three white males."
Garneau remained enthusiastic, although less so than before the election. "I think it's a little too early to tell," she said Wednesday. "Changing a system after it's been in effect for over 100 years is pretty hard. And unfortunately in this country it seems like there are a lot of people who are willing to put up a lot of money to get a personal call" from someone they helped put in office with campaign contributions.
Although the margins of victory were fairly large — there arguably will be only three competitive races next November — Garneau maintained that the large candidate pool was a good thing. "The number of people running shows how many people are really interested in how the city is run," she said.
Provine said he would not have run in the old citywide system. Pacheco said he would have, but added, "It would have been way harder to climb the ladder." If, like Garneau, one measure of success is the number of candidates, then district elections seem to have accomplished something. But once the newcomers dove into the pool, the jury's out on whether they ever had a shot of winning to begin with.

National Accounting Firm & Halifax's Largest Regional Accounting Firm Join Forces
MNP LLP Now Coast to Coast Serving Canadian Companies
CALGARY, Oct. 17, 2016 /CNW/ - MNP LLP, one of Canada's largest national accounting and business consulting firms, announced today that WBLI LLP, will merge with MNP, effective January 1, 2017. While WBLI was looking to expand their breadth of specialty services, MNP was seeking to build on its presence in Atlantic Canada with a well-respected and client-focused firm that shares the same values.
"This merger is strategic and historic for MNP as we will now provide all of our services from coast to coast," says Daryl Ritchie, Chairman of the Board, MNP. "MNP's strategic plan for growth and our entrepreneurial spirit have always been the driving force behind our success and this merger builds on our plans for expansion in Atlantic Canada. With WBLI on board, we can now truly call Atlantic Canada home."
MNP acquired PwC's Atlantic Canada consumer insolvency practice and its 31 offices in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI and Newfoundland in March 2016. "This acquisition expanded the MNP brand into the Atlantic Canada marketplace, adding to the firm's Insolvency service line which has grown substantially since then, but MNP was still seeking an established, respected firm to join forces with to establish and grow its accounting, tax and consulting presence in the region," says Jason Tuffs, CEO, MNP. "This is a significant milestone for our firm and we couldn't be more excited to have found the perfect firm to merge in."
Headquartered in Halifax with an office in Truro, WBLI has grown to become the region's largest independent and full-service firm of chartered professional accountants, consisting of 11 partners and over 70 professional and administrative staff. Established in Atlantic Canada in 1976, WBLI delivers a full range of accounting, tax and business advisory services to a diverse range of clients and sectors, including: private enterprise, professionals, agriculture, fishing, mining, forestry, real estate and construction, franchises, non-profits, and Aboriginal organizations and communities.
"In addition to sharing common values and client-centred approach, MNP understands all of the specialized markets and sectors in which our clients operate and more. MNP also provides us with a large national presence and access to hundreds of MNP experts and specialists in service lines that we do not currently offer," says Kirk Higgins, Managing Partner, WBLI. "Even with the service lines our firm is strong in such as accounting and assurance, corporate finance, valuations, insolvency, mergers & acquisitions and taxation, the bench strength MNP will bring when we combine our expertise in these areas will be second to none."
MNP's Jeremy Cole, Executive Vice President for MNP's Ontario, Quebec & Atlantic Region adds he sees great opportunity in the region. "The Halifax region is a major economic centre in Atlantic Canada with a large concentration of private sector companies, government services, healthcare, leading universities and Aboriginal organizations and communities. We have extensive experience serving these sectors across Canada and combining our industry insight, experience and resources with WBLI will ultimately benefit our clients."
"Atlantic Canada is rich with innovators, opportunities, and good ideas. It's essential we continue growing with our clients and the marketplace," adds Higgins. "One specialty that particularly attracted us to MNP was its international tax practice and we're thrilled to be able to leverage their in-depth knowledge in this area to help our clients thrive in today's global marketplace. Coming together will strengthen and deepen our existing leadership and offer our clients local, regional and international expertise where and when they need it."
Higgins says that joining MNP will also enhance their Insolvency division, WBLI Incorporated. "MNP's Insolvency division, MNP Limited, has been helping individuals and businesses across Canada resolve their financial problems for more than 50 years. With the added locations they bring to Atlantic Canada, we can assist even more individuals and businesses on their journey to financial stability."
WBLI said what appealed to them most about MNP was not only their 60-year history and diverse range of clients and specialty services, but the fact MNP has been recognized as one of the 50 Best Employers in Canada by AON Hewitt for eight consecutive years.
"MNP is more than just a large national accounting firm with a long history," says Higgins. "Knowing their team members value the firm and continue to feel valued themselves brings us a lot of confidence we are joining the right firm."
The WBLI partners and staff will remain in their current locations, which will be rebranded as MNP in the New Year.

Also to discuss Recursion 2016. Also to dis… oh, wait, no – that'd be repetition, not recursion.
The Midland User Group's next meeting will feature Tom Williamson from Ident Computer as its guest speaker.
Part of the Ident broadcasting & Communications group, which Tom founded in 2006, Ident Computer was formed with the aim of helping to preserve and exhibit retro systems, such as the BBC Micro, as well as to build and support new resources for the education sector. It is education in particular that he is set to discuss at the MUG meeting, with the topic being the use of RISC OS in modern education, and how a new audience is being exposed to its virtues.
Through Ident Computer, Tom has produced a Raspberry Pi-based computer called the 'Micro / One' – and although it is not directly the subject of the talk, it seems likely that it will form part of any demonstration given at the meeting.
Another place to see the Micro / One will be the Recursion Computer Science Fair – at which Tom is planning to exhibit. The fair, which – as its name and venue might suggest – is aimed squarely at education, takes place on Saturday, 2nd July at the King Edward VI School in Stratford-upon-Avon, and is free for both exhibitors and visitors.
For the past couple of years, the Midlands User Group has been coaxing RISC OS companies to exhibit at the fair, in effect bringing the Midlands Show under its banner – and with the show now less than two months away, and the group's May meeting being the last one before the it takes place, the group also intends to use the meeting to finalise plans for the event.
There is a small entrance fee to cover costs, and refreshments will be available.


The summer's first Log Jam at No Name Cove was enjoyed by members of Lake Murray Power Squadron and their guests, as about 30 boats rafted up for a beautiful Saturday outing on Lake Murray on Saturday 10 June. P/C Debra was recovering from a sprained ankle, but our friend Lori joined me on the lake and we took a few photos of the gathering at No Name Cove.
If you missed this raft-up, there is a second Log Jam scheduled for August 19, but we have many other boating activities scheduled between now and then.
Keep an eye out for email notices about our old fashioned pig pickin' that will be held on Saturday 1 July. We'll eat about 12:30 p.m. or 1 p.m. with BBQ pork and chicken, along with all the trimmings. Cost is only $12 per person so don't miss this event. And, remember, the Lake Murray Fireworks will be the highlight of the evening so plan to come on out to Flotilla by boat or land and enjoy the July Fourth festivities.

I didn't want to clutter the bulletin board with replies, but this verse you quoted is really awesome!
Psalms 119:49-50 "Remember the word unto thy servant,upon which thou hast caused me to hope.
This IS my comfort in my affliction: for Thy Word hath quickened me."
It really highlights God's Grace to us... in the beginning was His word; He quickens that word to us; we respond by placing our hope in that word; that word gives us the comfort we need in the midst of our trials.
Oh how He loves you and me (isn't there a song with that line?).
btw: That Word promises more than healing and health; deliverance from ALL our afflictions is included...but at the same time we know from that same Word that there are times where it is needful for us to experience trials and tribulations, but the hope He has given us teaches us that even then He is faithful to deliver us...thus..."This is my comfort in my affliction: for Thy Word hath quickened me."
This verse really ministered to me this morning. If anyone serves Jesus the Father will honor him.
2 Now Moses called all Israel and said to them: "You have seen all that the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land— 3 the great trials which your eyes have seen, the signs, and those great wonders.
4 Yet the Lord has not given you a heart to perceive and eyes to see and ears to hear, to this very day.
This statement is found all through the Bible, sobering to say the least. After all the great wonders that took place before their eyes.
Well I just wanted to stop by an say Hi. Time to move on, Glad to hear you are all doing well. It seems like the older you get the faster time fly's.
Keep looking up your redemption is drawing nigh.
In II Corinthians 4:4 we're told by Paul that another way spiritual blindness comes is from Satan, the god of this world. But it seems the 'open door' or reason it's allowed is due to unbelief, which we see throughout the OT in reference to Israel.
There has never been, nor will ever be, anything within me worthy enough for the sacrifice paid for me..G-R-A-C-E and Grace alone has opened my eyes and allowed me to see.
Hallowed is His Name in heaven, soon it will be so on earth, EVERY knee shall bow and EVERY tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is LORD.

Beautiful Desolation review
Solasta: Crown of the Magister review
by Lyle Carr on May 31, 2021
PlatformPC
DeveloperTactical Adventures
Reviewed OnPC
I'm going to say this outright: I've never played any Dungeons and Dragons. It's not that I'm not interested in a bit of role-playing. It's just the opportunity just never presented itself. I've listened to D&D podcasts, played plenty of video games inspired by it, but never even held a D20. Although it doesn't look like that's going to change any time soon, at least I'll have Solasta: Crown of the Magister to keep me busy.
On a traditional fantasy adventure, you'll be guiding a party of four custom characters through lush mountauns, magical libraries and caves full of spectral spiders. After the fall of an ancient Elven kingdom years ago, your team find themselves working for royalty and finding the titular crown. It's very much a pure fantasy tale, but with plenty of twists and turns to keep you interested.
Character creation is a very in-depth process, so be prepared to a slow start to your adventures. After the simple act of picking a race and class, you'll then be tasked with giving them a back story as well as personality traits. Each character's personality will dictate how they join in the dialogue in the game. So a greedy Halfling will often bring up money, while a noble Elf may act aloof. Because you'll have a team of 4 under your command, each will jump into conversations when appropriate for their character with nobody playing the "main protagonist".
It wouldn't be D&D without a hefty dose of stats, so prepare to sink some points into Strength, Dexterity and the other usual suspects. Applying base stats to characters can be done in a variety of ways, from dice rolls to simply inputting values. This means if you want to recreate your real world character it's no problem, or you can just cheat and make the perfect creation, no judgement.
Solasta: Crown of the Magister review: turn-based fun
You'll need all of these stats when the bandits and orcs come a calling. Battles are a turn based tactical affair, with mechanics lifted directly from the tabletop game. You'll be rolling for initiative, making saving throws and casting magic missile against a range of foes, some straight from the Monster Manual as well as some homegrown beasties. Because of the sheer number of attacks and spells at your disposal, you can get really creative in combat. I lost an early encounter against some lizardmen very decisively when just using damaging abilities, but found success the second time around by creating a pool of grease at a key point in the terrain.
Another interesting aspect of confrontations comes from using the environment in battle. It's easier to think of the world as a Minecraft grid, which you'll need to navigate to get the tactical advantage and aim full 3d area of effects. Higher ground grants you advantage on dice rolls, and cover and low lighting make you harder to hit. To make sure you can see the enemy you might want to light up some torches on a wall, or maybe a dangling stalactite could end the fight quickly with a well aimed arrow. It's really satisfying to make the most of a room and dispatch foes with ease, and once you add in teleportation and levitation spells you'll be beating back baddies from every inch of the level.
Crafting and depth
There's a ton of depth in every single encounter you have with the Evil Priests or Feral Wolves of Solasta: Crown of the Magister. If you notice tracks on your travels you might want to enter Cautious mode, and aim to stealth your way into battle for a sneak attack. Sometimes conversation will get you further than a sword could too, and choosing the right conversation options (alongside a good roll or two) might mean you avoid a fight entirely or even gain a new ally.
There's a robust crafting system that allows you to make all manner of potions and poisons, traps and puzzles in the environment, and the incredibly impressive Bestiary. This handy journal keeps data on monsters you fight, and is updated with extra information each time you beat an enemy or when you read a book about them. You can find out resistances, weaknesses and even exact hit points once you fill out an entry, and this information can really swing a fight in your favour.
Tactical adventures
I'm not too proud to admit that on the default difficulty I found Solasta very challenging. Fortunately Tactical Adventures have included a huge amount of options to make the game as easy or difficult as you'd like. There are 5 basic difficulty settings, as well as options to grant yourself advantage on dice rolls, give yourself more crits, and even turn off systems such as spell components and food rationing all together. Flicking on a few of these options definitely helped me make my way through the 30+ hour campaign without constantly wiping out.
As if a lengthy fantasy epic wasn't enough, there's a fully featured dungeon maker tool to play with. This simple way to make user content almost didn't make it into the game, but fans begged enough that the team really wanted to add it. Making a dungeon can be simple as dragging and snapping some room pieces together and adding doors, traps and enemies. All of the assets are taken from the main campaign too, so if you've played through it already you should have an idea of how it all works.
Solasta: Crown of the Magister review: Dungeon creator
Although it's easy to use, there's scope to make some truly impressive dungeons. One highly rated user created level I played uses text lore to add a narration to their stage, and had created an experience that lasted approximately 2 hours. Add that to the campaign and you've got an endless supply of D&D content, with user stages available on Steam workshop as tiny downloads. The dungeon maker is totally functional but not complete as of yet, with a long list of additions prepared for beyond launch like custom quests and merchants.
Solasta has a lot going for it, but does have a few technical and aesthetic issues. There were a few instances throughout the game where my view of conversations would just show a close up of a texture as the scenery blocked the camera. The environments in general are pretty impressive, but the same can't really be said of the basic (and slightly odd looking) character models. The voice acting is definitely a mixed bag too, but ultimately very little of this detracts from the engaging tactical gameplay.
Solasta: Crown of the Magister is a love letter to D&D that tabletop fans and tactics game aficionados will really appreciate. Combat is very creative, with a lot of verticality and environments to interact with. With a huge fantasy quest to play through, and an almost unlimited amount of user content, Solasta will keep you busy rolling dice for the long haul.
Great tactical combat
Authentic D&D systems
Dungeon maker is great
Battles have lots of creative options
Graphically underwhelming
A few technical issues
Some dodgy voice acting
SCORE OUT OF TEN
Solasta: Crown of the Magister is an authentic D&D experience, with great tactical combat and plenty of deep systems to chow down on.

The Weightlifting 50p was designed by Rob Shakespeare. Rob, a police officer from Manchester, designed the coin because of his love of the sport. The inspiration for this design was from seeing people lifting and Rob's attempts at doing it himself.
We put our usual three questions to the designer, and this is what he had to say!
I have no idea what anyone from the GB team or otherwise thinks!
I'm looking forward to seeing my daughter turn 2 years old, and hopefully Manchester United winning a 20th league title!


It may seem obvious, but think about this, anytime a supermodel, fitness junkie, or athlete is photographed, the number one item in their hands is a water bottle. Yup. Healthy encapsulates all aspects of our lifestyle and water encapsulates 96% of the lymphatic system. Being the body's inner drainage system is a hard job to take on and the lymphatic system needs all the help it can get. Aiming to drink as much water as your body needs will go a long way. That could be 8 glasses, a litre or even two. It totally depends on what YOUR body requires. To know what a comfortable amount is, look for the signs: are your lips always dehydrated? Does your skin often feel dry in random areas, top of the hands, sides of your waist, dryness could be a sign of dehydration.
A $10-$12 brush goes a long way in your self-care routine. Dry brushing helps stimulate the lymphatic system and wake your body up. It is advisable to do this in the morning as the stimulation resonates throughout your system and you feel more awake after the experience. Most people like to do it before the shower but you can do it after as well. Important reminder: always brush towards your heart as that is where the blood gets purified. Dry brushing has also been credited with reducing cellulite! Woohoo, love a good two for one routine.
The twists and turns in yoga combined with the movement in the body aids the drainage process in the lymphatic system. Even doing just a basic yoga flow about six to ten times gives you enough movement to get your internal system moving. If you can manage a headstand routine or even keeping your legs up on the wall for a variation of stretches of fifteen minutes, it will be able to get the blood flowing in the opposite direction.

Five arrested after illegal rave in Norfolk
8 July 2019, 08:13 | Updated: 8 July 2019, 08:14
Police have arrested five people and seized sound equipment after a social media tip-off about an illegal dance party in Norfolk.
The police were called at around 7.30pm on Saturday night after a member of the public noticed an advertisement for the event on Facebook.
Subsequent inquiries led officers to discover a rave with around 600 people at Massingham Heath near Grimston, King's Lynn.
Additional resources, including specially trained police support units, arrived on Sunday, disrupting the event at about 3.45pm.
Three men, aged 25, 28 and 31, have been arrested in connection with organising the rave while two other men, aged 20 and 33, were arrested at the scene on suspicion of drug driving.
All five remain in police custody where they will be questioned.
Norfolk Constabulary's Temporary Assistant Chief Constable Nick Davison said: "A significant policing operation was held today to ensure the event was disrupted and closed down safely, while securing evidence with a view to prosecuting organisers. The action taken today falls in line with our robust approach to tackling such events.
"Raves, not uncommon at this time of year, can be very disruptive for local residents and landowners while the presence of hundreds of people and vehicles can also have a detrimental impact on the environment."

Field Season Costa Rica 2022
5 de agosto de 2022 13 de septiembre de 2022
This field season has been amazing! Co-founder Dr. May-Collado and her students from The University of Vermont travelled to Sierpe, Cuajiniquil, and Uvita in the Pacific coast of Costa Rica to obtain acoustic recordings of spinner, pantropical spotted, and bottlenose dolphins, and humpback whales. They also deployed long-term autonomous acoustic recorders to study spatial and temporal changes on their acoustic behavior. This information will help informed how these species use these locations, and together with other research teams at University of Costa Rica studying the ecology of sharks and rays, sea turtles and coral reefs, we will be able to generate a holistic understanding of the marine megafauna and marine communities of Costa Rica. This is a long-term collaboration between the May-Collado Lab and Panacetacea.


Upon graduation from high school Parris Ashley worked for ten years prior to his enrollment at Frostburg State University. He was 28 years old. While at FSU Parris maintained a 3.55 GPA and went on to graduate in 2015 with a BFA in Painting and a Minor in Art History.
Parris Ashley is among several well-known known muralists throughout the region, having won and completed painting contracts throughout the area with his first being in 2012. This consisted of an entire building at the Frostburg Community Pool, with each side having a different theme and tone. Commissions quickly followed with contracts for artwork at Dante's, Wild Things, Bar Monkey, A Place to Eat (an Alamo depiction) and Grammy's Attic in Frostburg. A 2015 eighty square-foot mural at the Queen City Creamery in Cumberland depicts the city's downtown Baltimore Street. Ashley has won several awards, including the 2013-2015 Phillips Art Competition Award and from 2011 through this writing has participated in several exhibitions.
His most recent accomplishment, as of this writing, is the completion of the Canal Place Heritage Area mural in downtown Cumberland. The official unveiling of the mural was held on October 14, 2016 and was attended by numerous local and state officials as well as a large turn-out from the community. The 200 foot-long mural depicts the history of the Cumberland area and was commissioned by the Allegany Arts Council.

Arts Cliffs
In the general context of Boehner and Obama's waltz ever closer to the financial precipice, I'm reposting a very interesting ArtsJournal blog entry forwarded to me by Lydia Marston-Blaauw (former PuSh Board President), about the contiguous cliffs facing arts organizations these days.
Labels: Arts Cliffs, ArtsJournal, PuSh Festival
Memos to Self
Two re-posts (ripostes?) to share from the wider theatre-writing community that nonetheless gave me local pause.
The first comes from the Guardian theatre critic Lyn Gardner, whose wonderful contributions to that paper's Stage blog usually keep me up-to-date with what's on the boards in the UK. Today, however, she was talking about a recent incident at our very own Vancouver East Cultural Centre, when the actress Miriam Margolyes, in town with her one-woman ode to Dickens' Women, apparently berated an audience member in the front row for refusing to join with her fellow patrons in giving the performance a standing ovation. Am I ever glad we decided to give a pass on that one. And now I have one more reason not to capitulate and start watching the Harry Potter movies. I just wonder why the incident hasn't received more play in the local press.
Then, in the Globe and Mail, it was J. Kelly Nestruck's turn to offer his annual Canadian theatre round-up, which basically turned into a catalogue of all the sins committed by different organizations' Boards of Directors over the past year. Included alongside indictments of the Factory Theatre Board (for canning Ken Gass) and the Tarragon Board (for apparently censoring longtime playwright-in-residence Michael Healey for his satirical play about Stephen Harper) was a sharp (and, I have to say, deserved) rebuke of the Vancouver Playhouse Board for closing up shop after 49 years at an eleventh-hour, in camera meeting, leaving the community without the time or resources to mount a rescue plan in response. Not that any of this should find me looking over my shoulder as President of the PuSh Festival Board. I serve with 17 other incredibly talented and professional and supportive directors, all of whom have absolute faith in the vision and talents and fiscal responsibility of our ED and the entire staff. This year's Festival is our biggest yet. And my only worry as Board President right now is how I'm going to see everything.

EL Vez
EL Vez has got to be the hardest working holiday entertainer ever. The self-styled "Mexican Elvis" brought his Merry MexMas show to the Fortune Sound Club last night. It's a hilarious send-up of classic standards from the season (an East LA version of "Jingle Bell Rock" about getting through Christmas at lighting speed thanks to a little blow).
Despite the myriad costume changes that constituted EL Vez's most theatrical homage to the King (the one from Memphis, not Bethleham), the very fit and energetic 52 year-old seemed to be channeling more of a James Brown vibe, what with all of his high kicks and stage splits and booty work with the lovely Elvettes, his nubile back-up singers. But it was largely lost lost on the Vancouver audience, most of whom seemed to be there for the after-party, when I gather the venue turns into a meat-market of a dance club.
It was a pity, because EL Vez put on a great show. Thanks to my colleague Diana for dragging me out on a rainy Saturday.

A patchwork pastiche of songs from Broadway musicals past and present (with the odd pop standard thrown in), around which Artistic Director Ashley Lambert-Maberly has constructed a whimsical confection of a plot, There's Something tells the story of Terry (the lovely Jocelyn), a misfit fairy who discovers from her all-powerful mother, the Queen of the Fairies (Catherine Shaw, in superb voice), that she's actually a foundling from the human world.
So off Terry goes to said world (along with a rag-tag of fairy friends), whereupon through a series of twists and turns too complicated to relate she lands a job at Helle magazine working for the Anna Wintour-like terror of an editor Greta (a finely comic Yvonne Connors). Who, it turns out, has a secret of her own...
I won't spoil any more of the plot, though that should be the least of your Aristotelian worries in checking out this show, which is all about paying due homage to the show tune. And if all the voices are not always in tune, no matter. Because there can be no doubt that all the performers are feeling each number--and the charismatic Jocelyn, who is in almost every scene, no more than any other. Consequently, we exit the theatre in the way all Broadway shows wish us to: humming along.

Sorry about the sparse posts for May and June! I will do my best to update regarding these two great meetings.
In May, we met after the fundraiser for Michael's movie – It was a success! We had somewhere between 100 – 200 people there to view the extended trailer, participate in a raffle for some quality items, and socialize! We had a great time, got to teach everyone a little bit about stuttering, and Michael's movie is going to be amazing.
Adam facilitated the May meeting, and we talked for a LONG time about the Iceberg metaphor and how it relates to stuttering. The idea is the tip of the iceberg represents the overt, observable stuttering behaviors – repetitions, prolongations, and blocks – but what's really happening with a person who stutters is what's happening BELOW the surface. Accompanied by a very not so good drawing by the un-art-talented Kerry, we had a great discussion about the tip of the iceberg versus the large, jagged, overbearing chunk of ice underneath the surface.
In June, the blog writer (Kerry) was super late (had to teach a class), BUT caught the tail end of the conversation during group which had been all about personality styles / characteristics and how it relates to stuttering. As my three year old sometimes says, "that's all I got!" The important thing is that even during the summer, we are having productive meetings and the group lives on!
In both May and June, the teen group has been meeting concurrently with our adult group, but in a different room. It has been awesome to hear the laughter, conversation, and general enthusiasm coming through the door while the teens meet. What's also been great is having the parents of those teens join in OUR group and participate.
We are trying our best to make Portland a place that understands what stuttering is all about. We will keep working – there is always work to do.

I-10 Alliance
Regional Champions
Uniting Soccer Clubs & Communities
Can soccer clubs along the largely rural I-10 corridor produce the kind of soccer team that wins regional showcases? Ask the young men from I-10 Futbol Alliance 03 Boys team. Last weekend at US Club Soccer's National Cup XVII Southeast Regional, where 92 top talent teams from 10 states battled for the regional title, the I-10FA 03B team came out on top in the 15U Premier Group. That news is even sweeter if you consider that this team is made up of players from 7 different clubs who agreed to overcome their rivalries in order to help build a new player pathway for high school-age players in the region. For their collaboration on this trip to Regionals, our thanks goes out to the staff & Directors from:
FC Dallas Emerald Coast
Real Athletic Development
Gulf Coast Texans
Warner ASG-Florida Soccer Club Tallahassee
Bayside Dynamo
Bay United SC
Chivas FC Ft Walton Beach
Special thanks as well to Perdido Bay Futbol Club's Director, John Guidroz, and US Club Soccer membership services representative for the Southeast, Kevin McGovern.
I cannot say enough about this team and how they performed, the talent they possess, or the hard work they put in to get ready for this competition. They put in the hours. They exhausted themselves on the pitch. They practiced despite feeling ill, despite the heat of the summer, skipping days at the beach with friends for sweat on the pitch alongside their soccer brothers. I salute each of them and their parents who sacrifice so much & drive ridiculous distances to support their kid's passion for the game. And perhaps the best complement we received last weekend was from a woman in a restaurant who approached our coaches to tell them how impressed they were that the boys were so well behaved -- and it's true, this is a great group of boys. Kudos parents. Kudos players.
Our coaches for Regionals, Carlos Bonilla and Ricky Hoegg, built a top-notch training program incorporating film review sessions, strength and endurance training, water training, and focused evaluations to help the players improve quickly and perform as a team. They did film reviews at Northwest Florida State College (thanks NWFSC!) and even visited the hallowed soccer grounds of Wake Forest for a little inspiration. Best of all, they're not just focused on building better soccer players, they're building great role models for the next generation while they build great soccer players. Hats off to you gentlemen.
Big thanks to my partner in crime, I-10FA's Chief Operations Officer & Director of Coaching, Louis Richard, for the countless details & coordination he oversees on a daily basis. Also, to Micah Krider for constant support from the beginning of this project in every single aspect from concept to scouting to sponsorship -- thank you! Finally, to Mike Adams and the gang at Happy Computers from Niceville, FL, thank you for helping support youth sports and development in our region.

For the longest time, dental practices depended on traditional marketing techniques to make their presence known within a community, and they did work. People got to learn that there's a dental professional in the neighborhood and availed of the services that he or she had to offer. Then the Internet came along and changed the way dentists market their practices forever.
While TV, radio, print ads, and other traditional forms of advertising continue to be useful for dental practices and other types of business, the Internet has given dental professionals a more cost-effective, targeted, and ultimately more far-reaching way of promoting their services.
If you're a dental professional and you haven't gotten on the online dental marketing bandwagon just yet, here are some compelling reasons why you should waste no time and start marketing your dental practice on the Internet.
More than half the world has access to the Internet as of 2018. That's more than three billion people browsing the web looking for information they need on just about anything, including dental services in a specific area. For a local dental practice like yours, having access to just the tiniest fraction of that figure may already do wonders for your bottom line. And if you don't have a presence online in any way, shape, or form, then you can only imagine what you're missing, when Google gets more than 100 billion searches every month.
It's one thing for a person to hear about your dental practice through a traditional advertisement. It's an entirely different thing when people get to know the scope of your services, the qualifications of the professionals who will be taking care of their dental needs, and how relaxing and welcoming your dental office can get, among other things, by browsing through your website, an essential component of a digital dental marketing strategy.
If your website has a blog, then you can post articles that talk not only about the services that you offer, but also the happenings in the dental and oral care industry in general. You can share news about the latest dental procedures, or you can write your opinions about them. That way, you can get to gradually establish yourself as an authority in the field of dentistry, and that will always be great for your brand.
Social media is one aspect of online dental marketing that dental practices should pay a lot of attention to simply because it's the perfect platform to engage with patients and build relationships with them.
With a presence on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or any social media platform of your choice, you get the chance to actually talk to them, answer their questions about oral health, or show them your track record and experience in the industry.
With your interactions on social media, you have the power to make people feel comfortable about you and your practice long before they actually visit your dental office. With social media, you get the best possible chance of connecting with your patients.
If there's one thing that's absolutely true about the dental industry today, it's that the competition has gotten tighter than ever before. These days, there seems to be a dental practice in every corner, and you can bet your dental license that most of them are engaged in dental marketing online to get more patients to come through their doors. If you're not, then you need to play catch up, and fast.
The above are just some of the reasons why you should give online dental marketing a shot. And if you ever decide to enter the fray, then you should check out the infographic below to find out the major steps to successful Internet marketing for dentists.

Stephen A. Smith's latest attempt to be "A REPORTER" involved reading a text from an anonymous Wizards' player on air
"We love Scott Brooks. Love playing for him. He just can't coach John. John just walks all over him and it frustrates everybody. The way he plays is impossible to play with. We have so many guns, not enough bullets."
ESPNNBABy Andrew Bucholtz on 11/20/2018 07/08/2020
There is a large gap between Stephen A. Smith's perception of himself as not only the world's foremost master debater on all fronts, but also the world's greatest soap opera guest star, reporter and host, and much of the world's perception of him as a hot-takey emphatic-on-command windbag who repeatedly trips on banana peels when trying to report. That was illustrated last Friday when he went off on Kevin Durant's response to "A REPORTER!" and suggested that if he'd been present, it would have gone very differently (with some implied threats, also a standard for Stephen A.). And it was illustrated again Tuesday when he read on air (on his nationally-syndicated ESPN Radio/ESPNEWS show) what he said was a text from a Washington Wizards' player about that organization's current drama:
"Now let me read you something that somebody in the WIZARDS' locker room wrote about John Wall. 'We love Scott Brooks. Love playing for him. He just can't coach John. John just walks all over him and it frustrates everybody. The way he plays is impossible to play with. We have so many guns, not enough bullets. If John would just play off the ball and let others eat, we'd be fine. But that's a difficult thing for him to do, and sometimes it's difficult for us to watch."
"We have so many guns, not enough bullets" feels like a sad letter from Ken Burns' PBS The Civil War documentary series. (And it's more than a little ironic considering that the Washington NBA team used to be named the Bullets.) And it's unclear why any Wizards' player would be texting Stephen A., and if they knew that he might read their comments on air. Oh, and if Smith was actually to be taken seriously, you'd think this kind of obtained comment would show up in other ESPN stories; at this point, that's not the case, and it probably won't be given his reporting track record. But reading this text alone wasn't enough, oh no. As Black Sports Online's Robert Littal (who wrote about this here) noted, this was just part of Smith trying to bolster his credentials as a reporter:
Not sure if the player wanted Stephen A. to read his text on his nationally syndicated radio show, but too late now it is out there now
— BlackSportsOnline (@BSO) November 20, 2018
When he said Scoop Jackson calls him the Grim Reaper or Grave Digger lol, because he always finds the bodies and how he better than WOJ, it was hilarious https://t.co/Gofv6zkWIJ
You keep on keeping on, Stephen A. Maybe you'll get your wish of being "A REPORTER" and yelling at players up close and personal. Of course, it's unlikely a reporter who did that would remain employed for too long, but much of Stephen A.'s career is a story of continued employment despite the absence of any possible reason for that. So, you know, this is about par for the course.

Constantine Could Blend With Del Toro Film?
Whilst Marvel has one grand linked universe, DC and Warner Bros. Pictures are keeping things a bit looser when it comes to adaptations of their comic titles. This is especially true of their TV properties with four DC Comics-inspired TV series screening this Fall, but only two of them ("Arrow," "The Flash") linked together and none of them tied to any of the upcoming films.
Meanwhile filmmaker Guillermo del Toro continues developing "Dark Universe," a film along the lines of the New 52 series "Justice League Dark". Essentially the group is a kind of 'Justice League' featuring DC's most famous supernatural characters – Etrigan the Demon, Deadman, Swamp Thing, Zatanna, The Floronic Man, Shade, etc.
The group itself is led by John Constantine, a character who is being played by Matt Ryan in NBC's "Constantine". It has generally been thought that the two projects would be separate, del Toro would deliver his own take on the character with a different actor in the film.
The quote comes after comments from DC's Geoff Johns who seemed pretty adamant that the DC TV properties and the DC Cinematic Universe will stay separate.
