Hundreds of people, thousands of comments! The CodeNEXT team wants to thank the more than 800 Austinites who participated in the first phase of CodeNEXT.
Beginning last fall, the CodeNEXT team went to you – the residents of Austin – to get a better understanding of your views on our current land development code and the types of places it helps create. Available for public review, the Listening to the Community Report encapsulates those findings (from August 2013 to January 2014) and highlights key themes identified during the initial listening stage.
Feedback came in all forms including public listening sessions, small group meetings, online surveys and discussions, interviews, case studies and issue papers. Participants included residents, community and professional organizations, and City of Austin departments. The comments pointed to reoccurring themes such as affordability, transportation, environment/open space and neighborhood character.
Intended as a transparent and accessible document, the report will serve as a resource and guide to help inform the continuing stages of the process and deepen discussion by sharing viewpoints across the community.

A delightful return to the romantic-comedy territory that Woody Allen last explored in such classics as Annie Hall and Manhattan, Alice was also Oscar-nominated for Best Original Screenplay, but departs from the earlier films in its embrace of out-and-out fantasy to the point where it becomes a contemporary fairytale.
Alice Tate (Mia Farrow) is trapped in a loveless marriage to Doug (William Hurt), to the point where a chance encounter with handsome jazz musician Joe (Joe Mantegna) leaves her hopelessly conflicted. Seeking treatment for backache from a Chinese acupuncturist (Keye Luke), she confesses her feelings under hypnosis and comes away with some ancient herbs that possess mysterious and even supernatural powers. But will they solve Alice's dilemmas, or merely make them even more complicated? And can she really throw away all Doug's material wealth purely for love?
Gliding effortlessly from reality to daydream and from memory to magic, while exploring the intricate and unfathomable unity of human bonds, Alice was described by the New York Times as "hilarious and romantic, serious and exuberantly satiric".

Dealers have many options to fill job openings, but continuously face challenges finding quality candidates for in-demand roles such as service technicians and sales managers. And with fewer than 1% of job seekers considering a dealership for their next career move, it's critical to have the right strategy in place to attract strong applicants – including those outside the retail automotive industry.
Are you doing everything you can to attract quality candidates and turn your dealership staff into a source of competitive advantage? Below is an overview of three key elements your dealerships should make sure to include in your sourcing strategy.
Instead of relying on only one applicant source – such as a costly job board posting – each time you have a job opening, your dealership should seek out quality candidates through a variety of applicant channels – including your career site, job boards, social networks and more. But while managing countless applicant sourcing channels might sound time consuming for your HR team, the entire process can be simplified using an automated sourcing tool.
Similar to the advertising model for online consumer ads, an automated sourcing tool can manage the recruitment budget for your dealership and leverage a network of hundreds of sources to only invest in those expected to drive quality candidates. On the other hand, when you don't have a process in place to focus your budget only on sourcing channels that deliver results, your HR team might end up spending time and resources on poor applicants. Another benefit of a diverse sourcing strategy is you'll decrease total time to hire, as you'll reach more quality candidates across sources candidate sources. This means you'll fill open roles quicker, ultimately increasing productivity at your dealership.
With the availability of one-click job boards, many job seekers apply to as many roles as possible, without determining whether each role is the right fit. But the most engaged candidates take the job search a step further and spend time researching roles and companies to gauge their fit. And most candidates turn to company career sites to continue their research once they come across a job opening. In fact, across Hireology customers, 30% of quality candidates apply via career sites, the highest percentage across all sources.
If your dealership doesn't link to your career site in each job posting – or doesn't have a career site at all – you might end up driving away top candidates who will instead apply to other dealerships, or companies outside the industry with strong career sites. Your career site gives you the opportunity to tell your dealership employment brand story – and a strong story can help you stand out from other employers in today's competitive job market.
Beyond including a list of open roles, your career site should include details on the workplace culture, career progression, and overall benefits to help job seekers see the opportunity your team offers. Also make sure to continuously share engaging content, so career site visitors can glance into a day in the life at your dealership. For example, you can highlight pictures or videos of your team, company outings, unique spaces in your business and community events, among other content.
Once you have a great career site, make it easy for job seekers to find. This includes linking to the career site on your dealership homepage and ensuring your career site is both search engine- and mobile-optimized.
HR managers and team members wear many hats, which can leave little time for hiring and cause your dealership to lose track of your total spend on job boards and other recruitment efforts. If this is the case, chances are you don't have a process in place to measure ROI, determine which channels are resulting in the most quality candidates and adjust job board spending accordingly.
To understand your candidate ROI, divide the total costs of each channel by the number of quality applicants delivered – meaning applicants who were qualified enough to make it to the candidate stage. This will give you a cost per candidate, which is more helpful than the cost per applicant for comparing different job boards and other networks that might have different pricing models. Going beyond pricing, if you're noticing certain job boards or channels do not result in quality candidates – or eventual hires – this is a clear sign you should reallocate your budget to other, more successful sources. And if you enlist the help of an automated sourcing tool, recruitment budget ROI will be measured for you and your budget will only be spent on sources that drive quality candidates.
Hireology customers who have embraced the power of automated sourcing have seen double the amount quality applicants compared to traditional job boards.
By implementing a strong applicant sourcing strategy, your dealership can save money, see an increase in quality applicants and decrease your overall time to hire. Ultimately, this will lead to improved productivity and profitability at your dealership.

The Warsaw Hub is rising
The Warsaw HUB is Ghelamco Poland's latest and biggest project, previously known as Sienna Towers. The complex of three buildings, which is being built in Warsaw's business center, will offer 113 thousand sq m of multi-functional space. For the first time on the Polish property market, the innovative HoloLens technology was used for project visualization.
The Warsaw HUB will be the most innovative project in Ghelamco's history, a home to new technologies, friendly to both startups and corporations. It will also be an example of high-class architecture with a city-forming function, which has been consistently implemented by Ghelamco, a pioneer of this concept on the Polish market.
"The Warsaw HUB is Ghelamco's most modern design to-date. The investment will go far beyond the framework of a typical office complex. It will be the heart of the network, a central point where all needs of modern, innovative companies converge," says Jarosław Zagórski, Commercial and Business Development Director, Ghelamco Poland. "The Warsaw HUB will set new, previously unknown quality standards while creating a valuable urban fabric in the very heart of Warsaw. Therefore the building will fulfill a city-forming function, of which Ghelamco has been a pioneer among the developers operating in Poland," adds Jarosław Zagórski.
The Warsaw HUB will be erected in the fast developing part of Warsaw, i.e. at the junction of Towarowa and Prosta streets. After Warsaw Spire, it is Ghelamco's yet another project which sets up a new business center of Warsaw, near Rondo Daszyńskiego. The investment is located in the direct vicinity of a major transport hub, linking the second metro line with numerous tram and bus stops, near the Warszawa Ochota train station.
Multi-functionality
The Warsaw HUB is a technologically advanced complex, combining all functions necessary for today's corporations and startups to operate. The 113 thousand sq m of space will host state-of-the-art office space, a conference center, and a 3- and 4-star hotel.
In the Warsaw HUB, there will also be a place for MeetDistrict, a proven concept which has been successful in Ghelamco's Belgian investments. This will be a unique coworking space, in which even the smallest companies will find a place for themselves in a modern office building.
Ultimately, The Warsaw HUB will also be a headquarters of The Heart Warsaw, a center of cooperation between corporations and startups. It will be based on clubs, thematic programs and scouting, all of which will drive the ecosystem and importance of Poland in Central and Eastern Europe. Today The Heart Warsaw connects more than 100 startups with banks and global corporations. Currently, as part of The Heart Warsaw, thematic programs are being developed, among others FinTech and Omnichannel Retail. Soon there will also be programs connected with, among others, Smart Cities. In addition to D-RAFT and Mastercard, Ghelamco Poland also partners with the initiative. It is the first example in Poland of a property developer engaging in developing a business based on new ideas and technologies.
All these solutions will provide flexibility to emerging companies, in particular start-ups and scale-ups. Added to this, the building will host a commercial space (ca. 6 thousand sq m) and a sports and conference center, providing tenants with comprehensive infrastructure.
The Warsaw HUB will also be located in the very heart of a transport hub. Direct access to the second metro line as well as the vicinity of tram and bus stations will be a huge asset, encouraging people to use public transport. A modern bicycle parking lot, with showers, lockers and bicycle racks will also address the needs of cyclists. All this fits in well with the idea of creating environmentally friendly solutions. For those commuting by car, in The Warsaw HUB's underground there will be a modern parking lot.
The Warsaw HUB will provide future tenants with top quality offices equipped with state-of-the-art technology solutions. For example, access to the building will be enabled for smartphones and the parking lot will be equipped with a car recognition system, a car wash, and a charging station for electric cars. The complex will be powered from three independent sources, but the tenants will also be able to install their own generators. Moreover, as part of The Heart Warsaw, projects related to the smart cities and smart office concepts are being developed, which will be later used in The Warsaw HUB.
The project's innovativeness is also reflected in its unique way of presentation. For the first time on the Polish market, visualizations of the investment were presented using HoloLens, i.e. goggles generating holographic images allowing for creating the so called mixed reality.
City-forming investment
The Warsaw HUB is also an investment which will create a new, valuable urban fabric. This is Ghelamco's yet another project in which the Belgian company consistently implements the city-forming concept. Ghelamco has been the first developer to implement such concept on the Polish market. The investment was designed by a renowned architectural studio of Andrzej M. Chołdzyński, author of, among others, the central section of the second metro line or the building of the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
Erected on a shared, nearly 100-meter foundation, the skyscrapers (two 130-meter and one 85-meter) will form a consistent, big city frontage along the Towarowa street and a landmark of Rondo Daszyńskiego visible from many places in the capital. Along the complex, both from the back of it as well as from Towarowa street, an attractive public space in the form of shopping arcade will be built. Similarly to the nearby Plac Europejski (European Square), the arcade will host cafes, restaurants, and service outlets.
Construction of The Warsaw Hub has already started and the investment is scheduled to be completed at the end of 2019. The commercialization process of the building is now pending. The exclusive agent for the office and commercial part is JLL. The estimated investment value is more than PLN 1 billion.

Community comment called for regarding deregulation of Moree-Sydney air service
DEREGULATION of the Moree-Sydney air service is on the agenda for Transport for NSW and Moree Plains Shire Council is seeking input on whether this approach is supported by the community.
The NSW Government through Transport for NSW has commenced consultation with Moree Plains Shire Council in relation to the potential deregulation of the Moree-Sydney air service route.
In turn, Council has been asked to consult with the Moree Plains Shire community.
In a recent report into regional air services, the Legislative Council Standing Committee on State Development expressed a view that deregulation can provide opportunities for growth.
Following this, the NSW Government reviewed the regulatory arrangements for some air service routes within NSW without a current service. This resulted in the deregulation of 4 routes – from Sydney to Cobar, Cooma, Mudgee and Narrabri.
In each case, the NSW Government reduced red tape by removing the requirement for a licence and making it easier for airlines to consider new services.
Since the deregulation of these four Sydney-linked routes, new services have started on three and there has been operator interest in undertaking service on the fourth route.
The NSW Government is now considering extending deregulation to the Moree-Sydney air service route.
MPSC general manager Lester Rodgers says that Transport for NSW considers deregulation is an opportunity for councils to directly negotiate with operators to determine which airline best meets the needs of the community, rather than this taking place through the NSW Government.
"Our air service is currently regulated under licence. This licence will end in March, 2018. We, as a community, need to consider whether we want to stick with this approach or not," Mr Rodgers said.
"The air services which operate from the Moree Regional Airport (including the Moree-Sydney route) are fundamental to our community. This was all too apparent when the Moree-Sydney service was temporarily suspended some time ago.
"Council will be considering its position at its Council meeting next week but it is incumbent on us to ensure that this aligns with the broader community's sentiment.
"Transport for NSW has made it clear that part of our role is consulting with our community on behalf of that body in this regard," he said.
A one-minute online survey – https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MGF8WJ5 – is now open for residents until 5pm Friday, February 24, 2017.
Links to this survey and other information – in particular, the differences between a regulated and deregulated route – can be found on Council's website and Facebook pages.
Hard copies are also available at the Moree Community Library and at Council's Customer Service Centres at Moree, Mungindi and Boggabilla.
"This is an opportunity for Council to obtain feedback from the community on their views in relation to deregulation. I encourage residents to complete the survey as we need to collate the findings and provide feedback to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure by the end of the month," Mr Rodgers said.
Alternatively, written submissions are also welcome.
These should be marked to the attention of the General Manager, Moree Plains Shire Council, PO Box 420, Moree NSW 2400 or emailed to [email protected] by 5pm Friday 24 February 2017.

A Conversation with Mathew Klickstein (ON YOUR MARC)
I spoke by phone with filmmaker and author Mathew Klickstein (Slimed!: An Oral History of Nickelodeon's Golden Age) on Wednesday, October 18, 2017, just over a week before the end of the national tour for his new documentary On Your Marc. The film profiles the life and career of television personality Marc Summers, who rose to fame in the 1980s as the host of Nickelodeon's Double Dare, and later continued as the host of many other popular shows, including Food Network's Unwrapped. Beyond the interest of the subject matter, On Your Marc is noteworthy for how Klickstein has chosen to roll it out, setting up an introductory live-event tour with screenings in Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, Austin, Baltimore and Chicago (the last stop, set for October 26), with Summers in attendance at each one. In the interest of full disclosure, I first met Klickstein a little under a year ago, when he interviewed me for an article on Jewish Oscar hopefuls for the Baltimore Jewish Times, and we then subsequently co-hosted a movie screening at the JCC of Greater Baltimore. Also, since I watched the film a few months ago, Klickstein has apparently added a special credit to me in the final title crawl. Below is a transcript of our conversation, edited for brevity and clarity.
Hammer to Nail: So, your film is called On Your Marc. Who, then, is Marc Summers?
Mathew Klickstein: Marc Summers is a well-known television icon. He was ubiquitous on television throughout the '80s and '90s. Anyone who grew up watching Nickelodeon would have known him from the show Double Dare. They shot almost 550 episodes, and it was really the show that helped launch Nickelodeon into the mainstream. When people look back on classic Nickelodeon, as they're doing more and more with all the '80s nostalgia these days, you can't help but think about Double Dare and the Double Dare slime and Marc Summers, to many the face of the network during that time.
Additionally, he had a very similar position for Food Network. His show Unwrapped, which he hosted for almost 15 years – and which still holds the rank of being the longest-run show on the network – was not the first show on Food Network, but again really helped to launch that network into the stratosphere in a way that the earlier program had not. So, in a way you could say that Marc Summers personally launched two major networks into the mainstream.
In more recent years, he has been mainly behind the camera. He's helped to create and produce a number of shows, mainly for Food Network. He's also done a lot for Travel, and for Discovery, and he's poked around a lot there in a way that a lot of people probably don't even know about. But that's mainly where he's lived for the last couple of years. Of course, he pops up a lot on the shows of friends of his, like Guy Fieri and Rachael Ray – also The View – and he guest-hosts a lot of different shows and competitions. So, that's who Marc Summers is. He's also a 65-year-old grandfather, and someone I've become very close with over the past 5 years, and I'm happy to tell his story.
HtN: You say he helped build two networks, so as Frank Capra was to Columbia in the 1930s, Marc Summers was to Nickelodeon and Food Network. Very nice! So, you would describe the movie as a profile of his life and career, correct?
MK: It is that, yes. We took what is – unfortunately, these days – an unconventional approach to the film. Typically, a pop-culture documentary like this has a pretty conventional format: you end up with a series of talking heads of fans, colleagues, and a few other celebrities just talking about the person or the film. There's rarely much of a story; there's rarely much actually happening; it's kind of a rambling oral history of who that person is or what that film might be. You end up with some 1980s video-game music on the soundtrack, maybe it's the 25th anniversary of the show the film is talking about, or you talk about whether or not they're going to run the show again, and then the film is done.
What we did with our film, and why we feel that it's something rather unique, is that it's not just a meandering talking-head film about Marc Summers. There's an actual story and an actual narrative, which we find very compelling, especially for someone who might know who Marc is, or might not know or necessarily care. It really focuses on his one-man theater show about his life, based on a book he wrote, back in 1999, about his struggles with OCD. We show him struggling to put the show together; we show him rehearsing; we show him struggling to overcome the challenges he had in putting the show together, including dealing with memory issues from a car accident he had; and just the pressure of trying to do a theater show after never having really done something like that before.
So, you really get a full story of this guy who is trying to build, create and produce something, in real time. And because the show is about his life, we were able to use little moments from his rehearsal and from the show, itself, to sort of digress and show things like his mom talking, or some of his celebrity friends, like Neil Patrick Harris and the like. So, we were able to sneak in some of those more conventional elements, but the film has a real beginning, middle and end. More than anything, we wanted to create, all along, a real-life version of Birdman. That's how we see the film: he's an '80s/'90s icon who is trying to move into a new platform, a new medium, and we watch him attempting to do that. And meanwhile, we sneak in some pie fights and celebrity guests and a few other things.
HtN: So now let's segue into the other unique aspect of the film, which is your release strategy and marketing plan. Could you discuss that?
MK: We knew from day 1, since Marc is such an unconventional person and the film is also relatively unconventional, that we wanted to have a release that would resonate with that sensibility and the kinds of fans and community that have built up around Marc and this classic '80s/'90s pop-culture mentality. (laughs) It's funny that we call the '80s and '90s "classic," but I guess that's where we are now, almost 30 or 40 years later. So, from very early on, we knew we wanted to bring this film directly to the people; we wanted to bring it directly to the fans. And even in the early stages, when we were getting invitations to certain festivals and conventions, we wanted to establish our own network of screenings and, in particular, live events.
I was just speaking with a barista at a coffee shop this morning, who has been following along with everything we're doing, and he immediately got that, yeah, people really want to meet Marc Summers. That's part of the experience. And though not everyone is going to be able to do that when we have the larger release of the film, later on, we have an opportunity right now to show the film in different locations around the country, and to have these live events where, everywhere we go, we have these different community members, local bands, local celebrities, local partners involved. In the case of Brooklyn and Austin, it was Alamo Drafthouse, but in other places we work with other organizations: radio stations, newspapers, whatever it might be. So, it is not just our going to these different places as a traveling celebrity and a traveling circus, but instead as a localized community experience.
The one in Chicago, for example [on October 26], is going to be at a place called The Hideout, which is actually a very small location. We wanted to do that, intentionally, to have one of them be a very intimate experience. And at that space, it's two friends of mine who have a show called Mr. and Mrs. Wednesday Night, which is sort of a comedy/music show, and Marc will just be part of their weekly show, and then we'll also show the film. I don't even know what they're doing, but because of that, they'll be able to bring in people from their own community to see the film, to meet Marc and to talk about it.
So, really what we have here is a multifaceted approach where the local community, the local newspapers and the local radio will be talking about our film and about Marc and that's good publicity for us on a very grassroots level. And it's good for the fans, too, because they'll actually get to see the film and to meet Marc, and to have fun getting slimed by Marc, and watching physical challenges and all these other things, as part of the experience of the film. And we may do a few more of these events, as well, since it's been very successful, thus far. We've been selling out and people have been having a blast. And, you know, some of these things go on for 3 to 4 hours, and nobody leaves. It's a real, full vaudevillian experience, which you miss when a film goes straight to a streaming service, or even in a typical limited theatrical run.
Right, and for those who may not know, in the show Double Dare, "getting slimed" was a regular part of the show, so this sounds like people who were fans can relive that experience. So where did you start the tour, and where have you gone?
MK: We started in Los Angeles; we then went to Brooklyn; we went to Philadelphia; we went to Austin, Texas; we went to Baltimore; and then we have one more, in Chicago on October 26. Again, we've gotten numerous invitations to go to places around the country, everywhere from Minnesota to Indiana to Florida. It's really just a matter of time and resources. I'll add here that we have not spent a single penny on any of this. This has been about the hustle, about working every single possible connection we have.
Just like with the film, itself, which was greatly crowd-sourced by friends of ours all over the country, we just pulled every favor we had. We talked with everyone we possibly could and we were able to put these events together with local organizations that simply loved the film, loved Marc, and loved the idea of breaking through the typical film-festival release pattern. And some of the venues we have gone to are themselves unconventional: in Philadelphia, we went to a concert hall, and there were actually a couple of local bands that played, as well. Each one of these has been like a franchise. And we've done it with very little resources, but we made it happen.
HtN: So, what next? The tour ends … now what?
MK: So, we're already talking to some entities that are interested in buying the film. And so we'll go through those meetings, and we will also reach out to a few other entities that we're interested in working with. We're definitely going to have a full release at a particular point. This was really about getting the word out, letting people know what we were doing, in the same way that you would with film festivals or pop-culture conventions. This is our own network, and we set it up and made it work, inspired by the 1980s DIY campaigns of bands like Fugazi, as well as the stories of Michael Azerrad's Our Band Could Be Your Life. And that's the kind of thing that we can bring to a distributor and say, "Hey, look at everything that we've done, already, and look at all these people that are interested in the film. Look at all these articles that we've had generated. Are you ready to partner up with us to get this film out there?" So, sale is definitely next.
HtN: Well, I wish you the best of luck. You've made a film about a compelling subject, and it sounds like you are indeed doing quite the hustle. My best wishes to you and congratulations on the film.
MK: Thank you!

One Response to "A Conversation with Mathew Klickstein (ON YOUR MARC)"
What a fascinating interview! I missed a local screening of On Your Marc but hope to catch it soon on the interwebs!


Field, BC is one of those towns that I have not had a proper chance to explore in detail. It seems every time I am in the area it is because I am passing through on the way to somewhere else and I just don't have time to stop to really give the town the treatment it deserves. Seems fitting that it is our first stop on the "Scratch the Surface Tour 2017" or STST2017 as I shall refer to it from here forward.
The Friends of Yoho National Park have put together a great walking tour of the townsite. You can find it by following this link and I use it as my reference for the history of the town and the Telegraph Office.
The town was established by the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1883, using the name "Third Siding". In an effort to raise funds caused the railway to pursue a number of high-profile investors, one of which was Cyrus West Field from Chicago. Apparently Field visited the town and they even named the town after him but he never actually invested any money.
Field (the man) was one of the people responsible for the laying of the first trans-Atlantic telegraph cable back in 1858 as one of the founders of the Atlantic Telegraph Company. This makes for a nice tie-in to the main subject of this posting, the Field Telegraph Office, or as the Friend of Yoho refer to it, the CPR Telegraph Building.
It was in the late 1990s when I first became aware of this building. It was around 1998 and I remember reading an article listing a small brick building in Field as being for sale and mentioning it was a 1920s telegraph office. Naturally this was all the reason I needed for a field trip to Field. The building was easy enough to locate as it is the first structure you encounter when you cross the bridge into town off the TransCanada Highway.
I don't remember much of that initial trip. I was still shooting photos on film at that time and I was not very good at documenting the details of my journeys. It would be several years later before I would eventually scan the photo and make a digital copy. The photo shows some light snow on the ground so I expect it was taken in late 1997 or early 1998.
Fast forward almost two decades and I am once again visiting the building. This is certainly not my first trip back since that initial visit all those years ago; my last trip through was in June of 2014. The small brick telegraph office has become like an old friend that I always stop in and check on when passing by, just to make sure everything is going well.
According to the Friends walking tour document, the building dates back to circa 1931 and was used as a telegraph office until 1961 at which time it was updated to become a telephone exchange. The exchange remained in use until 1979. Field has always been a major switching point for the CPR and passengers would gather at the office to send and receive messages during their brief stopover here.
On this day, Emily and I had noticed a train coming down the big hill out of the spiral tunnels and we had major hopes of catching a photo of it passing the telegraph office. However, being the junction between the Laggan and Mountain CPR subdivisions (Train geeks can correct me if I am wrong!) means the train stopped short of the townsite and appeared to be preparing for a crew change. We didn't have the time to wait, so we had to let that photo opportunity pass us by.
Not having my original c. 1998 photo with me means I made no attempt to match up the angle of the original photo with the one I took on this day. No matter as it quickly becomes apparent that little has changed with the building in that time. It looks today very much like it did in 1998. One interesting thing to note is that the small trees in front of the building in the 1998 photo have grown much taller and now are several feet high. It seems time keeps moving here, even if the building seems frozen in another era.

The description of the " telegraph office " is mostly not correct. It never was a " telephone office " at any time. I closed the office up in 1969 as a repeater office for CBC trans Canada radio networks, in fact being a switching centre for these, carrier systems carrying Canada wide data circuits, teletype, fax, telephone trunks etc and of course telegrams.


One in five people will never forgive you for a bad experience at your venue, according to the latest GO Technology report.
The research by Zonal and CGA reveals that 19 per cent of people will not return to you no matter what you do and that 64 per cent expect some form of compensation if things go wrong.
Offering a voucher is one way of getting them back, with 52 per cent redeemed when issued as a result of a complaint.
Making a lasting impression is important because of those who will provide feedback, 63 per cent do so up to 48 hours after their visit.
Zonal's sales and marketing director, Clive Consterdine, said: "Our desires as consumers are constantly evolving, therefore, for hospitality businesses to keep up they need regular feedback to maintain a consistent stream of growth."
Most people provide feedback via social media (64 per cent) with 37 per cent using TripAdvisor to have their say.
And while it might feel like the world and his wife use such platforms, the majority of people (59 per cent) have never given any feedback to a pub, bar or restaurant.
CGA's retail and food director, Karl Chessell, said: "With a large part of the population not giving feedback, this could point to a lack of compulsion or availability in the brands they frequent.
"In order to engage this group, offering some form of discount on their next visit would encourage 40 per cent to leave feedback were it available, or were they made aware of the opportunity."

The world's quickest theater festival kicks off in Seattle this weekend

It's been argued that attention spans are getting shorter, and heck, we don't blame you if you can't even make it to the end of this article. For the sake of keeping you immersed, here's all the info you need about The World's Quickest Theater Festival as quick as we can make it.
Seattle's theater artists are going to write, cast, design, direct, score, rehearse, and perform 14 plays in 48 hours.
Early Thursday night, participants will choose a theme by completing the sentence: "Theater would be a lot more interesting if there were seven ten-minute plays about ____." One answer is then chosen at random and becomes the theme for the following evening. Seven writers must then work through the night to submit a brand-new ten-minute play based on the chosen theme by 8 am Friday morning.
On Friday morning, seven directors will randomly draw one play from the seven and blindly choose their actors' names on slips of paper to cast the show. A band will then show up to provide music and sound, designers create technical aspects as directors and their casts rehearse all day. Each play will have twenty minutes to have a full tech rehearsal.
Finally, on Friday night, the seven plays will debut two performances, at 8 and 10:30 pm. The 8 pm audience then provides the theme for Saturday's show via a random drawing, and the seven writers go home to re-start the process, ending up with 14 plays in 48 hours.
The festival will run through two weekends, with four days of showcases:

Dionne Warwick Slams Upcoming Whitney Houston Biopic: 'Leave Her Alone'
Dionne Warwick, Whitney Houston, Clive Davis / Getty
*Dionne Warwick has made clear that she wants no part of an upcoming biopic about the late-great Whitney Houston.
The forthcoming film "I Wanna Dance With Somebody," follows Houston's life and rise to fame. Executive Producer Clive Davis previously said that the project will be a "no holds barred" portrait of the artist, and he won't sugar-coat anything.
Davis signed Warwick and her young cousin Houston to Arista Records. Speaking to Variety, Davis said, "I have a mission here. I have a mission to make sure that for all time that the full picture of Whitney Houston is captured in a no-holds-barred film that is musically rich and shows her genius and more of her character than we have seen to date."
Warwick doesn't want to be involved in the project.
"I want them to let Whitney rest in peace," Warwick told the Los Angeles Times. "Leave her alone. Ten years [since she died] – it's time to let her sleep."

We previously reported that Stella Meghie is out as director of the biopic and Kasi Lemmons has been tapped to replace her.
Lemmons told Deadline, "Early in my writing career I developed two projects for Whitney and I had the opportunity to meet her. She was a tremendous, incomparable artist and her story is as awe-inspiring as it is tragic. I feel privileged to be part of bringing her life story and music to the audience."
Ashton Sanders has been cast as Bobby Brown in "I Wanna Dance With Somebody". British actress Naomi Ackie will portray Houston. Ackie is best known for her role on Netflix's "The End of the F***Ing World." She's also starred in "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" and Steve McQueen's new anthology series "Small Axe".
Ackie said of the biopic, "Preparing to play Whitney Houston has been an incredible experience. I've learnt so much more about her and myself than I could have imagined. I'm so excited to get on that film set and honour her legacy! With Kasi on board, I know we can create something truly wonderful."

Uwa: Police Arrest Two Over Rape & Murder Of UNIBEN Student
> REGISTER NOW <
Please share to others-
Two "key suspects" have been arrested in connection with the rape and gruesome murder of 100 level Microbiology student of the University of Benin (UNIBEN), Miss Vera Uwaila Omozuwa.
This was disclosed by the Edo state police commissioner, Mr. Johnson Babatunde Kokumo, when he played host to the UNIBEN Vice Chancellor, Prof. Lilian Salami at the Force headquarters, in Benin city on Monday.
In a statement made available to Campus Gist, the police chief assured that efforts were being made by the Force to bring all the culprits to justice.
Miss Omozuwa, 22, was raped and murdered right inside a Redeemed Christian Church in Benin city, on May 27, 2020 during her study hours.
Her death had stirred reactions from activists and notable figures, especially Nigerians on social media, seeking for justice and demanding a stop to rape in Nigeria.
Students of the University of Benin, friends of the deceased and members of the public had equally protested Omozuwa's death by taking to the streets of Benin city.
The University, in a statement, said it shares in the pain of the family of the victim. While commiserating with the bereaved family on the loss of their dear daughter, the vce chancellor prayed God to grant her soul peaceful rest.
A statement endorsed by the Public Relations Officer of UNIBEN, Benedicta Ehanire, Ph.D, noted that losing a child at this time compounds the hardship brought about by the coronavirus pandemic.

Google is the most widely-used Internet search engine, and the recent addition of Google Places listings offers businesses an easy, no-cost option for increasing visibility and reaching more local customers.
Did you know that 80% of searchers will stop after reaching this page? Most consumers will have found what they're looking for in these initial results. Since there are no more than seven listings on the first Google Places page, your chances of capturing potential customers increase dramatically if you make it onto this list. In order to properly capitalize on this opportunity, though, it's important to know how these listings work.
When Google was preparing to launch Google Places, they put a great deal of effort into creating a business directory that would be as comprehensive as Yellow Pages®. They tracked down and included a large number of business contact information. As a result, many businesses are in fact included in Google Places. However, many listings are merely default listings, compiled from any available information scattered about the Internet. Many of these default listings are out-of-date, incomplete, or simply inaccurate, including wrong phone numbers, incorrect addresses or no website URL at all, not to mention the lack of a keyword-rich business description and list of services offered.
As a consumer, which one of these are you going to call?
Updating your business listing is easy. Do a Google search for your business including your city name, then click on the listing. On the profile page, look above the map (typically in the upper-right corner), and click on "Edit this Place," or "Business Owner?". This will take you through the process of claiming and updating your business profile, including the option to add photos, video and more. You can even learn how many people have viewed your listing. A small investment of time that could yield great returns!
Google Places is only one of thousands of sites across the Internet that store business profiles. To capitalize on more of these opportunities, contact us about our Big Splash Local service, where we can submit — and maintain — full profiles for your business on more than 120 directory and review sites. Call us at (281) 816-6932, or learn more at www.bigsplashlocal.com.

Moyes on potential West Ham investment: 'It sounds as if something is happening'
29 October 2021Updated 3:45 PM GMT+1
West Ham United manager David Moyes has said that it "sounds as if something is happening" after The Athletic revealed that Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky is considering the purchase of a minority stake in the Premier League club.
The 46-year-old, who is known as the "Czech Sphinx" because of his inscrutable investment style, is expected to buy 27 per cent of the Premier League club initially but may eventually take a majority stake at a later date.
This deal, which has been months in the making, would therefore spell the beginning of the end of West Ham's so-called "GSB" era, a reference to their majority owners and co-chairmen David Gold and David Sullivan and vice-chair Karren Brady, who have controlled the club since 2010.
When asked about the story at his press conference on Friday, Moyes said: "I don't know any more than you know, but it sounds like something is happening, yes."
The staged nature of the proposed deal is understood to be linked to a clause in the club's agreement with their ultimate landlords at the London Stadium, the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC), which says Gold and Sullivan must pay a percentage of any profit they make on a sale of the club to London's taxpayers.
This would be worked out on a sliding scale, with no windfall tax liable if the club went for less than £125 million but 20 per cent on anything over £300 million. The clause expires in March 2023.
Kretinsky's planned investment is understood to value the club in the region of £600 million, significantly more than two bids Gold and Sullivan received from PAI Capital, a group headed by London-based Azeri businessman Nasib Piriyev, this summer. Their plan was to buy the entire club and then renegotiate its long-term lease at the London Stadium to gain full control of the multi-purpose venue, which was built for the 2012 Olympics.
But Sullivan, who owns 51.5 per cent of West Ham's shares, rejected PAI's bids, saying they greatly undervalued the club. He did not, though, deny West Ham have been on the market for at least a year, with an asking price of £650 million, more than double what the Saudi-led consortium recently paid for Newcastle United.

When it comes to marketing, you know content matters. You have heard the speech before: your website should constantly have fresh, updated content. So, you try to keep the blog updated and stay up-to-date on the latest trends.
Still, we know how difficult it can be to constantly come up with content ideas. There are only so many blogs you can write, right? Wrong. Content means more than just blogging or having a great website homepage. To get you started on innovative content marketing, we've compiled a list of 10 ideas.
1. Blog. First and foremost, the age-old classic: a blog. Blogs create consistent, interesting content to share on your website, which keeps visitors interested and informed on your mission, values and even products or services.
2. Picture. A picture says a thousand words. Include pictures whenever possible in the content marketing your organization produces. Pictures can speak to consumers and website visitors even more than words can sometimes, and shows them the true face of your business.
3. Video. Videos can be even more engaging than pictures themselves. Whether your video is a behind-the-scenes look at the company, a promotional advertisement or something completely new, try out video within and outside of your website to see how it can build your content brand.
4. Vlog. A vlog is the best of both words: video and blog. Vlogs are often easier to consume than their blog counterparts, and can be a fun way to mix things up within your content marketing strategy.
5. Infographic. Infographics are the epitome of content marketing. Not only are they easy to consume, but they can get your point across quickly and efficiently. If you want to try making your own infographic, but aren't sure where to start, check out some free online options.
6. Interview. Interview an employee, client or business partner and see how you can use the interview to reach out to other potential consumers in the community. An interview is also a great option for including in your blog or vlog within the website and social media marketing.
7. Webinar. Webinars not only share your brand, but they present you or your business as an expert in the field. Webinars serve as a useful content tool for educating, engaging and building up current and potential clients.
8. Podcast. Does your business have something important to say? Do it with a podcast. Feature your podcast within your website or include it in your social media marketing to engage clients, visitors and employees in every aspect of their lives.
9. Email. Email marketing is one of the greatest uses of content marketing out there. Put together an email marketing campaign strategy to see how you and your business can grow or even expand.
10. Newsletter. Newsletters might not always be on your website, but they serve as the perfect content marketing example to go out into the world and engage consumers one-on-one. Whether your newsletter is monthly or quarterly is up to you—but getting something out there with all your organization's info is the most important part.
Content doesn't have to be the same old stuff every time. With the right strategy, your content can be a consistent and creative way to reach out to consumers, clients and partners and engage with them on a more personal level. Try out some of these content ideas to see how they can develop your marketing strategy.
