I really love that TCM is doing this film festival on how disability is portrayed in the films. What a great idea and I would like to commend TCM for that.
The problem that I have which may seem minor but it is actually a HUGE concern is that every time Ben Mankiewicz spoke he placed the label before the person. When speaking of an individual who just happens to have a disability and in the case, the character, it is correct to say, a person with a physical, intellectual or emotional challenged. Last night Ben continually placed the disability before the person. This sends the wrong message to your viewers and this is important to correct since you know how influential movies are over society.
Please see the link below for examples of how to refer to persons with disabilities.

I am confident that TCM will make the necessary corrections immediately.

KKatzy,

As he noted, Ben's wraparounds were filmed weeks ago and it's not likely they can be corrected at this late date.

I don't understand...why is it a "HUGE" concern, and why does it "send the wrong message"?
I see it as drawing awareness to the disability...I don't get your point on this. ?:|
Judging by the title of this thread, you seem to be dyslexic.
I am dyslexic too.
I am going to continue to look for the Handicapped Parking places in front of Wal-Mart. I don't know what Accessible Parking is. I think the whole parking lot is accessible, but the Handicapped Parking spaces are closest to the door, and that's what I need.
Whenever I say to someone on the phone that I am "disabled" or "handicapped", I get a lot better service.
Sometimes, when I have trouble understanding complicated instructions over the telephone, I tell the other person that they will need to repeat it slowly because I am stupid. Then they repeat it slowly for me and that helps.

Some people feel that saying the disability first places more emphasis on the disability than is warranted. It becomes an ersatz title which categorizes the person in the same manner as calling a person "WASP John Smith" or the same manner as "Mrs. John Smith" is seen as robbing a woman of all identity except that of being a wife.
The use of the term WASP is almost always intended to be insulting. I've seen it used on this board and others many times. WASPs are the evil ones, according to people who use the term.

*"I don't understand...why is it a "HUGE" concern, and why does it "send the wrong message"?"* - SOUH
It is my understanding that for some in the disabled community, there is an important distinction to be made in how one describes a person with a disability. For some (many?), to write "deaf actress Marlee Matlin" is less acceptable/polite than writing "actress Marlee Matlin who is deaf." Apparently placing the trait before the name "burdens" the person with an unnecessarily negative description or label of who the person is.
I think the term "deaf" is neutral and without any positive or negative connotation. To me, its use is no more problematic than writing "blonde Marlee Matlin", "left-handed Marlee Matlin" or "Oscar-winner Marlee Matlin". But I will defer to the perceptions of those that are affected by the choice of language.

One issue I've been having with some parts of TCM's promos for this series is the people (I have to assume they're actors and actresses) talking about various disabilities while clips are being shown, but we don't know who they are or what their relation is to the clips, movies or the actors being shown.
For example, one guy is talking about how well a certain actor (I think it was Kenneth More) did in a role of a man who lost his legs. Does he have that same "disability"? Or, if he's an actor, did he play a role of someone with that disability? And another guy talks about "little people" and a scene from FREAKS is shown. Are we supposed to know who he is or what his interest is in the topic? Sure, names are given while these people are talking, but that doesn't help much if we don't know who they are or why they've been chosen to talk about this subject? I think it may make their comments more meaningful if we are aware of their connection to the topic. I do know who Marlee Matlin is, but not any of those others. (But I do admit I have little interest in new and current films, TV and the current entertainment scene in general and rarely care to follow or see any of it, so that may explain my unfamiliarity with those people.)
Still, the promos are all interesting and well-done and some excellent and worthy points are made.
brackenhe
I know the one guy who talks about "little people" is one and had a recurring role on Seinfeld, and while I don't know the actor who talks about Kenneth More, he does mention being an amputee in one of the segments. The girl who talks about the film Gaby has CP and was in at least one season of The Facts of Life.

Well, then, there's something of a problem with this whole "Festival of Disabilities" then, isn't there? It's not about "films that feature the disabled", or "films with actors who happen to be disabled", or "films that feature characters with physical, intellectual or emotional challenges" it's *DISABILITY IN FILM* with the *focus shining entirely on the disability*.
I'm not sure how wise it is to quibble over semantics, but I still say the whole thing was a bad idea in the first place- nothing more than a way to reheat some leftovers- and the problems in its execution (and wording) are only facets to the whole issue.
ps- what films *don't* feature "characters with physical, intellectual or emotional challenges" of some kind?

De Witless and others discussed this all in another thread that's devoted to the movies being aired on TCM this month.
And I did post there that many people with "disabilities" don't see themselves as "normal" people do.
People with "disabilities" regard themselves as people first. Or they regard themselves as different but not "disabled." The word "disability" has very negative connotations and ignores that many people with "disabilities" can get along just fine, despite their differences.
Everybody is different and that includes "other-abled" people. Some are more independent than others, just like the rest of us... And that's the point - they're people just like the rest of us.
Anyway, doesn't hurt to listen and try and understand what kkatzy is trying to say...
As for Young Ben, I have no idea what he said? Anybody know exactly what he said and can quote it for the rest of us?? Lzcutter???
In any case, everybody makes mistakes and they can be regarded as a learning experience.
I'm sure if Young Ben was made aware of it, he wouldn't repeat the same mistake in future.

This is a good point. Maybe they figure people can search Google and find out themselves if they are unaware of who the people are? I don't know??

I love this new sobriquet.
(He is 45, you know.)
Two *positive* things about this "Festival" though:
1. There are *premieres,* yes? (most) any time that happens the programmers *deserve a hand*.
2. I *really like* that Johnny Belinda promo. Period.
Now, I like Jane Wyman and I think the film has some strong points (the cinematography, the locations, the fact that it deals with issues of rape and single motherhood in a pretty straightforward and open manner, the characters are real, *I think it is a feminist film*, Lew Ayres is terrific and j'adore Agnes Moorehead and Jan Sterling in pretty much anything ever.)
That said, I don't think Wyman even merited a nomination for the work- in fact HER character (and subsequently, her work) is the one big problem with the whole thing- and this is likely the fault of the director Jean Negulesco, I don't know, maybe Jack Warner was heavily invovled too: *but she's not right*. Now, I definitely think Wyman had the chops to do it the right way, but she's not allowed to do it the right way and the end result is a woman who looks as if someone has just stomped quite hard on her foot right before they started filming every single scene.
The fact that Wyman's Oscar speech was simply "*I won this for keeping my mouth shut, I think I'll do it again"* and that's all belies the chance that p'raps Wyman herself knew she wasn't allowed to do it "*the right way*."
As it is, and I respect the cajones of TCM to take a deeper, critical look at a film that a lot of people see the last word on as "Box Office Hit, Best Actress Winner, Great Movie" and say "hey, wait a second, what about this? "

As for Young Ben, I have no idea what he said?
Kindly refer to him as "Ben who is young" lest others consider that you are using "young" as a pejorative.

Har, har... Who considers being young a bad thing or pejorative in some way??
But Kkatzy does make a good point below...
But your point taken... Touche... I was thinking of "Young Winston" as my inspiration, I guess...
And that's bound to cause more trouble comparing WC to BM...
I guess us "allegedly" "normal" people can poke fun at ourselves...
I was thinking earlier about that reference somewhere in the thread about saying "Actress Marlee Matlin, a person who is deaf..." (I may be paraphrasing here).
There was a time when actors were considered second-class citizens and refused lodging in many situations. If we are to consider that one is a person first, then "actress" should also follow the name as to do otherwise grants the term a sense of superiority.
That is for those who wish to carry things that far.
LCarterLong
There is a peculiar sensitivity in the United States within some segments of the disability community who prefer to use "people first" language. This stems from notion that many folks with disabilities feel they have been defined, almost solely, by their conditions and wish to emphasize other aspects of who they are, in this case their personhood. Understandable given disability history. That said, there is no consensus among the disability community about use of that particular phrasing. It dates back to the 1970's and is showing its age. Others within the disability community feel the "person with" construction of the phrase is a clunky, awkward distancing mechanism used by no other identity group (as in "a person with ovaries"). As an assertion of pride many in the community would rather put disabilty first to show solidarity with a community rather than attempting to seperate themselves from their conditions -- or others who similarly identify. These folks assert that in 2012 we're no longer limited to the antiquated medical model of disability -- there are social, cultural and economic models of disability to consider as well -- and, as such, we no longer have to beat people over the head with the idea that we are actually -- **gasp** -- people. Most folks know that. We no longer feel shame about our disabilities either and that is reflected in the language preferences used. With regard to the intros Ben and I recognized this division and tried to use a variety of phrases to simply mix it up. Strike a balance.
More on the topic here:
http://aapdinterns.blogspot.com/2012/08/disability-first.html
You make a good point, Carter. A lot would depend on the individual. To me, the word "disability" has always been somewhat of a misnomer, due to the fact that many, if not most, people considered "disabled" still function( refer to your PC's "Enable/disable" choices and what they mean). They simply don't function at some level that others do.
I'm considered "disabled" by my employer, therefore I'm retired on a "disability" pension. My difficulty is that due to a venal problem, I can't stand or walk for extended periods of time, and there were no jobs in the plant that allowed for my physical restrictions.
Physical restrictions. Hmmm...sounds as if General Motors had it right all along! What IS what we've long commonly referred to as a "disability" but a restriction of some kind. One's legs might not work, but their hands still do. One's hands might not work, but their MIND'S still do. And so on and so forth. It just needs to be done to find what someone isn't restricted physically from doing.
Depending on just what it is, people with certain "disabilities" will always be thought of as that first. It is up to THAT person to go about daily life in a way that makes others realize that such disability is irrelevent to who they really are. For me, if I were restricted to a wheelchair, I'd be more insulted by people who pretend NOT to notice it than by those who point it out. But I couldn't pretend either. I mean, if I refuse to be honest with myself, then how can I demand honesty from others? There ARE those who might honestly not pay it any mind, and really don't pay it any attention. But those I know who've long been restricted to a chair say it doesn't take long to learn to tell the difference.
Sepiatone PS: "Personhood"? Yeccch! Why not just "humanity"? Or "dignity"?

Same in Canada too. And I was careful to use the word "many" and not "all" in my posts below and elsewhere as there are differences and not everybody agrees on things...
We can't even agree on movies on this message board, for example. Nevermind what you write about below...
Oh well, striking a balance is all you can do... Obviously you're aware of things...
And the blog looks good...

Mr. Carter-Long -
Thank you for dropping by and adding to the discussion. It will help with understanding the feelings/attitude of some members in the larger, disabled community.
I've heard of the "anti-surgery" movement for the deaf but this is my first encounter with the "person first" movement.
I hope this series is being well-received in the community. You and Ben are doing a great job.

Ha! Great to see disTHIS! referenced. Thank you! disTHIS! was a six month experiment that ended up lasting four years -- 2006-2010. Was one of the indicators that people (disabled and non-disabled alike) are hungry and eager to review and examine disability in film and media in new, interesting ways.
Here's one of my favorite write ups on disTHIS! to give folks a flavor of what we were doing back then from Disability Studies Quarterly: http://dsq-sds.org/article/view/34/34

Q: Equating the coefficients of the following equation How to equate the coefficients of
$$\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}P(n,k)\frac{t^n}{n!}\frac{x^k}{k!}=\sum_{m=1}^{\infty}\left(\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}Q(n)\frac{t^n}{n!}\frac{x^k}{k!}\right)^m.$$
I need to equate the coefficients of $\frac{t^n}{n!}\frac{x^k}{k!}$. How can we consider the coefficients $\left(\frac{t^n}{n!}\frac{x^k}{k!}\right)^m$ on the right hand side? Please give me an idea about this.

A: The right hand side is $\frac{\sum_{kn}Q\frac{t^nx^k}{n!k!}}{1-\sum_{kn}Q\frac{t^nx^k}{n!k!}}$, so we want to solve$$\sum_{kn}Q\frac{t^nx^k}{n!k!}=\left(1-\sum_{kn}Q\frac{t^nx^k}{n!k!}\right)\sum_{k^\prime n^\prime}P\frac{t^{n^\prime}x^{k^\prime}}{n!k!}.$$Equating the $t^nx^k$ coefficient for $k\ge0,\,n\ge1$,$$\frac{Q(n)}{n!k!}=\frac{P(n,\,k)}{n!k!}-\sum_{k^\prime+k^{\prime\prime}=k,\,n^\prime+n^{\prime\prime}=n}\frac{Q(n^{\prime\prime})P(n^\prime,\,k^\prime)}{n^{\prime\prime}!k^{\prime\prime}!n^\prime!k^\prime!}.$$This is a recursion relation for $P$, viz.$$P(n,\,k)=Q(n)+\sum_{k^\prime+k^{\prime\prime}=k,\,n^\prime+n^{\prime\prime}=n}\binom{n}{n^\prime}\binom{k}{k^\prime}Q(n^{\prime\prime})P(n^\prime,\,k^\prime).$$

Hi Friends! It's already the middle of the week, just like that. We had the best (ever!!) time in Vegas, but not going to lie, I was seriously hung over for 2 days! What is it with getting older and just taking forever to bounce back? It was well worth it, but definitely made for a rough start to this week.
Today is all about one of the biggest trends for Spring, embroidery. From fun tops, to detailed shoes, to done up clutches, it's everywhere. I really love this trend because I am all about buying pieces that are special and have personality. When I found this Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent skirt at Intermix in South Coast, I was in love love. The detailing is insane, the shape is super feminine and the mix of colors is so fun. I paired it with this one shouldered crop (on sale!) from ALC, as I felt like the top needed to be super simple.
For my bag, I felt like this look needed something more fancy but edgy, so I went with this studded clutch (mine is old, but here is similar) from Alexander McQueen. This mini stunner is such a special piece that is so timeless & will forever be cool.
For shoes, I kept with the edgy feel with my lace up heels from Barneys. I have worn these nonstop lately!! I actually wore them in Vegas last weekend for about 7 hours straight and my dogs weren't barking! That's the sign of a beyond fab shoe, right? Love them.
For sunnies, I went with my current faves from Illesteva. I am SO obsessed with these. Huge + mirrored = basically my dream! I added a pop of color with my Natalie B cuff and this super fun ring from Angelique de Paris.


Start with a V-cut and receive the ball from the coach.
1. Fake, hard to the basket.
2. Fake, jump shot at the free throw line.
3. Fake, jump shot on the side.
4. When the defense starts stopping the pass, half cut and step out.

Cardiff Bay: 8 Reasons NOT To Visit
'Cardiff is the capital of Wales. You knew that, right? Cardiff Bay is *in* Cardiff (have they NO imagination??) and it has literally nothing to offer tourists from any country. You shouldn't go there. Ever. And this is why…'.
Cardiff Bay is home to a big white Norwegian Church type structure, complete with the Norwegian flag. It's in the capital of Wales and it's not even Welsh. Seriously, people – what are you thinking?
Anyway, it sits in Cardiff Bay, glimmering in the sun and might damage your eyes with its perfect white panelled exterior, so it's best to stay well back from it. Swansea's probably the safest bet.
The church is famous for being the location of worship for a young man called Roald Dahl. I'm led to believe he wrote some books for kids about peaches and giants and stuff. Sounds a bit tedious, tbh, but whatever.
It's also the oldest surviving church that was founded in Cardiff Bay by Norwegian (not Welsh) seamen, so there's also that crappy fact to contend with. I wouldn't bother with it. I visited so you don't have to. You're welcome. I mean, just look at it…
Nothing to see here…move along now
Pierhead Building
The Pierhead was built in 1897, so it's really, really old and therefore, not in the least bit well preserved. Also: it's bright red and a bit sore on the old eyes. And it's designed in a French Gothic style. Sounds awful, right?
The Pierhead is part of the National Assembly of Wales and is, unfortunately, a Grade 1 listed building so it's not even as if they can knock it down and replace it with something better. Shame.
Your best bet would be not to waste your time actually visiting the Pierhead, but rather just tuning into BBC Wales news at 6pm as, for reasons unfathomable, it's always in the background.
The Pierhead absolutely does NOT look fabulous sitting in Cardiff Bay, surrounded by water and gleaming in the late afternoon sun. Not even just a little bit.
I don't even know what to say about this except that it's way too bright
Wales' Millennium Centre
I honestly don't even know where to start with this one. It's a massive big building with a bit of copper coloured metal stuck on the front and it hosts music, events, ballet, opera, and other boring stuff.
It cost WAY too much money (in excess of £120 million) and looks like it was quickly knocked up by Daffyd the Dodgy Builder from Merthyr Tydfil. The instantly recognisable copper oxide treated steel glued to the front of the Centre is in no way impressive in the least and it doesn't make your jaw drop when you finally get to see it in person. It's also not a shout out to the famous Welsh steel industry.
WMC exterior is built with boring old bits of Welsh slate that were mined in various places from across the nation. Honestly, the Welsh are obsessed with slate; it's everywhere, and they never miss an opportunity to make you look at it in all its multi-coloured gloriousness. The Welsh are mean.
The inscription on the front of the building is: 'In These Stones Horizons Sing' – what does that even mean?? To make it even worse, it's written in Welsh AND English. As if one language wasn't enough.
So. Much. Metal
Roald Dahl Plass
The Welsh seem to like this writer for some reason. It must be because he's a local and not because he's famous the world over or anything. They've got a church he worshipped in and now they've actually gone and name a bit of concrete after him.
I'm not saying it's not a nice bit of concrete; it's fine, but all you can do on it is walk, roller-skate, cycle, run or dance, I suppose. Who needs a huge empty space for doing stuff in their harbour area, anyway? People were even just sitting on the steps chatting and enjoying the sunshine. Weirdos.
When it's not being offered to the locals for chilling out in, it has also gained a reputation for hosting open-air concerts. Ugh.
The main part of the Plass (which is Norwegian for space) is an oval basin surrounded by illuminated pillars. And, yes, it's every bit as dull as it sounds. Also: it lights up or something at night. At the North end of the Plass is a 70ft water tower. Like they don't have enough water there already. IT'S A BAY! Sometimes I wonder what happens in the heads of Welsh people.
The Tower is often known as Torchwood Tower, as it provides the opening of the Torwood Hub in the Dr Who spinoff off the same name. World famous authors and internationally adored TV programmes in the same space? Yawn.
Just when you thought the Welsh couldn't brag about another thing in their Bay, you stumble upon a statue of David Ivor Davies. Who, I hear you ask? Indeed. Apparently, he also goes by the name Ivor Novello, so sorry I couldn't help you out with that. Google him if you like.
Ivor wrote some songs and composed some stuff and there's an award show in his name every year where people like Adele, Amy Winehouse and other average songwriters are heaped praise upon and given little statues. Sounds nauseating.
Anyway, the statue isn't even facing the right way. Someone sculpted him sitting in a chair and craning round like he'd just heard someone shouting his name. They couldn't even build a normal statue like everyone else; they always have to be different, the Welsh. Bloody showoffs.
Some Welsh composer bloke
Dr Who Experience
Apparently, Dr Who is filmed in Cardiff Bay and therefore, they seem to think this is some kind of big deal. It's not.
This weirdly shaped and eye-catching 'thing' has the world's most extensive collection of geek memorabilia related to whoever's playing Dr Who at any particular time; as well as his sidekicks and all the oddly shaped monsters that seem to hate him so much.
It's all stuff from sets, props, the history of the programme, and some Tardis type thing. Sorry, Wales, but just because you're the home of the world's longest ever running sci-fi programme does NOT mean that you have to inflict it on the rest of us, thanks very much. Why people were queuing to get in was completely lost on me.
Geek central…
Senedd
The National Assembly of Wales uses this building to shout at each other on a daily basis and try to do stuff for their nation. However, it's not just Assembly Members and their staff that are allowed into the building; normal people can also visit. Why you'd want to see the seat of the Welsh Government fails me, but each to their own.
The structure has a massive oddly shaped steel and wood ceiling. The building is also surrounded by glass on every side. It's all very 'new-fangled' and trying to be interesting, in my opinion. Obviously, with it being Welsh, it has to have slate and other local materials within its walls as they can't seem to build anything without supporting their countrymen and women. Honestly…
The building has won a raft of architectural awards, including the 2006 Structural Steel Design Award; the 2006 Natural Stone Awards and a 2007 International Architecture Award. So, it's good that at least SOMEONE likes it.
All new-fangled and modern but, you know, whatever
When you finally realise how much time you've wasted wandering around Cardiff Bay looking at all the horrible buildings; wishing you owned one of the gorgeous boats; and thinking that they obviously dye their water because it's a bit too blue to be real, you can head to Mermaid Quay.
The Quay houses a host of bars and restaurants and you can happily drown your sorrows inside. You probably won't want to sit at the seating area next to the Millennium Centre and enjoys views across the Bay. It's probably best to hole up inside some chain; eating a selection of world foods, drinking cocktails, and planning a road trip to somewhere actually worth seeing.
PS – I've heard Llandudno's pretty at this time of year.

Pattern: Complex variable declaration

Citizens' group aims to cultivate a culture of service.
As a self-proclaimed child of the '60s, Harry Pozycki knows a few things about protest. For one thing, he says, when you want to drive change, "protesting is not enough.
With the governor's race behind us, these are strong words to ponder. Certainly, New Jersey's governor for the next four years has huge issues to deal with, including our $8 billion deficit.
Simply put, our governor, together with the legislature, and, more importantly, the people of our state, must face some cold, hard facts. Among other things, we've been paying for pension and health care benefits for public employees but haven't been able to afford those benefits for well over a decade. Nor can we afford to placate citizens who demand a level of services we cannot afford.
A serious discussion of New Jersey's future must also include abolishing our property-tax rebate program, which is a cheap and cheesy way for politicians to score points with voters. At the same time, we have to get serious about investing more fully in both pre-K and higher education. We have been disinvesting in our public higher education system for the past decade. As a result, tuition is out of control and too many New Jersey kids are priced out of the market.
Our elected leaders must decide how to address these and other big-ticket items. Citizens can play a role too. We can scream and yell at town meetings and declare that "government is the problem" (as the Tea Party movement has done), or we can get more actively involved in the decision-making and governing processes. Sitting on the sidelines is not acceptable—and getting involved is not as difficult as some might think.
Pozycki, a lawyer and Perth Amboy resident who has served in numerous political and government positions, sees another benefit of getting citizens more involved in government.
Pozycki's words should remind us that democracy is not a spectator sport.

Professional practices come in many types: dental and medical practices, law and accounting firms, architecture and engineering consulting companies, individual and business professional consulting firms.
While a professional practice may look like a service business, there are key differences to bear in mind that affect what a practice is worth.
Ownership transfers, such as the practice sale, partner buy-in or buy-out.
Legal disputes involving partner disagreements and divorce.
Estate planning and taxation purposes.
Practice acquisition and expansion financing.
Most professional practices share a few key traits that set them apart from other service-oriented businesses. Assessing the practice in light of these traits is important to your selection of key valuation inputs: the cash flow projections, valuation factors, discount and capitalization rates.
Typically, professional practice clients are less cost conscious than customers of other service businesses. They look for the right expertise to address a critical need even if it costs more. Professional practices are less susceptible to abrupt pricing pressures such as deep discounts or low cost substitutions. This affects the practice cash flow projections and, in turn, what the practice is worth.
The reputation of a professional practice and demonstrated skills of its practitioners are very important to its success. This means that a large part of the practice value resides in its professional practitioner and institutional goodwill, not its tangible assets.
Most clients seeking professional services get referrals from people they know – relatives, friends and other professionals. Strong referral network represents a key factor which contributes to the practice value.
More so than most service businesses, professional practices show a high level of intangible assets. Many of these assets do not appear on the practice's Balance Sheet, hence have no "book value". However, they often represent the most important and valuable assets the practice has. Consider using the business valuation methods which measure business goodwill, such as the Capitalized Excess Earnings method.
Many professionals are licensed practitioners. This has two significant effects on the practice value. First, it moderates competition by limiting the number of entrants in the market. Second, it limits the pool of potential buyers that are qualified to acquire and run the practice.
Now, the practice's fair market value is established in the competitive market place. Hence, the level of competition among the practice buyers has a major effect on what it is worth.
Here is an important question: if the practice is offered for sale, can it be successfully transferred to the buyer? The answer often depends upon the level of professional goodwill. Some professional practices are quite challenging to sell because of the close relationship of its clients to the individual practitioner.
Uncertainty about the transfer of practitioner goodwill is one reason why you frequently see earnouts as part of a professional practice sale.
A professional practice may have a shorter expected life span than other service businesses. This affects how you do income projections for the practice. And the income projections form the basis of such business valuation methods as Discounted Cash Flow. Importantly, the assumption of perpetual income stream may not be appropriate when valuing a professional practice. This reduces the practice's residual value.

Khami Ruins
Khami is a ruined city in Zimbabwe. It was once the capital of the Kingdom of Butua of the Torwa dynasty. It is located 22 kilometers west of the modern city of Bulawayo, capital of the province of Matabeleland North. Its ruins are now a national monument in Zimbabwe. Khami is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
About Khami Ruins
The settlement that we see today was a development of the architectural form that emerged at Great Zimbabwe in the 13th century AD and a local Leopard's Kopje culture that built platform of rough walling on which houses would be constructed. Khami marks an innovation that recognized the environment in which was built. The area around Khami being riverine is hot and had problems with malaria.the stone found at Khami (laminar granite) was different to that found in other areas of Zimbabwe (biotite. With a mixture of dolerite this stone was harder to quarry and produced shapeless building stone. It can be estimated that over 60% of the stone produced at these quarried would not be of building quality. The building blocks thus needed to be shaped, but even then the stones were not suitable for building free standing dry stone walls. The builders thus made an innovation and produced retaining walls instead. Secondly building platforms made the houses cooler than those in the open areas below. It also eliminated the problem of malaria for the lucky royals who stayed in the built up areas. The walls are gravity retaining walls built without mortar. Unlike at Great Zimbabwe some of the walls at Khami have foundations built with huge blocks which would have been lifted by at least 4 people. Excavations have revealed well planned buildings especially at the Hill Complex which was occupied the king. The complex was first built up by creating terraces of rough walling. These rough walls which are very stable were then covered up by quality walling of dressed stone blocks. Each terrace was highly decorated with either checkboard pattern, heringbone, or cord pattern. The terraces leaned inwards so that gravity would not cause collapses. The terraces that were created by leaning inwards had wooden poles probably for the guards to hold on to as they walked along the high and steep walls.
Khami was the capital of the Torwa dynasty for about 200 years from around 1450 and appears to have been founded at the time of the disappearance of the state at Great Zimbabwe. After that, (the traditional date is 1683), it was ransacked by Changamire Dombo who led an army of Rozvi rebels from the Mwenemutapa/Monomotapa State. Excavations seem to show that the site was not occupied after these Rozvi took over. The Rozvi made another Khami phase site, Danamombe (Dhlo-Dhlo), their new capital. In the 1830s Nguni speaking Ndebele raiders displaced them from Khami and many of the other sites they had established.
The site of Khami reveals seven built-up areas occupied by the royal family with open areas in the valley occupied by the commoners. The complex comprises circular, sometimes terraced, artificial platforms encased by dry stone walls. The beautifully decorated 6m-high by 68m-long retaining wall of the precipice platform bears a checkerboard design along its entire length. The platforms, rising 2–7m above the ground, carried dhaka (clay) huts and courtyards where those of status lived. The remnants of cattle kraals and huts for ordinary people can be seen below the Hill complex The ruins include a royal enclosure or Hill Complex, which had to be on higher ground than other buildings, stone walls and hut platforms, and also a Christian cross believed to have been placed by a contemporary missionary. There are also ruins on the eastern side of the Khami River. Other platforms are believed to have been cattle kraals and a retaining wall with a chequered pattern. Recent excavations (2000-2006) have revealed that the walls of the western parts of the Hill Complex were all decorated in chequer, herringbone, cord, as well as variegated stone blocks.

Pasture Layout encouraging efficient grazing and herd management deserves a good deal of planning. Fences are expensive, and are generally not easily moved! Rotation should be included in the planning to maximize natural forage production.
Terrain - Hilly land will influence fenclines and paddock design more than flat land. Creeks, wetlands and such will also effect the layout.
Climate - Demands for herd management, as well as grazing loads that a particular piece of pasture can sustain, will be effected by climate. Keep in mind that this might include the micro-climate of a particular locale, e.g. low lying land tends to collect and hold cold air.
Fertility - Soil fertility will effect the production of forage. This can be helped with amendments (fertilizers, lime, etc.), but this can be an expensive course to follow.
Irrigation - Being able to irrigate will extend the forage production season in most locations. Ten acres of irrigated land might easily support two to three times the livestock of 40 acres of dry land.
We are fortunate to live in the Pacific Northwest with its abundant rainfall and fertile soils. We are also fortunate to have ten acres under irrigation, and our land is flat to gently sloping. This made laying out our pastures a much easier task than might have been the case on another parcel of land.
The diagram above shows how we decided to lay out one part of our pastures. This 2 1/3 acre plot should support 20 head of alpaca with minimal supplemental feed needs.
Note that there are four paddocks joined by a single lane. This allows pasture rotation through the growing season (in our area, with irrigation, March - September). The 20 foot wide lane joining the paddocks is large enough to allow passage of equipment and vehicles. It holds a 10X24 loafing shed, which is adequate shelter in our climate, and, it serves as a sacrifice area during winter months when the main paddocks need to recover from the years grazing.
By carefully laying out the gates we have created an area where it is relatively easy to move the herd from one area to another. The joining lane can easily be converted into a catch pen in front of each of the individual paddocks.
While this particlar pasture layout will not be suitable for all land, it serves to illustrate the principals that should be used whenever one designs their pastures.

Did Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Feel 'Bad Blood' in the Royal Family Pushed Them Out?
Julie Sprankles
SheKnows January 14, 2020
We know from their statement that the Sussexes stepped back to carve out a progressive new role in the royal family. But did Prince Harry and Meghan Markle feel obligated to leave? New sources reportedly close to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex suggest that the couple felt they had no other choice but to approach things the way they did — that their "hand was forced" to make a move in the face of increasing discord in the royal family and particularly in attitudes toward them.
A family friend told People that Harry and Meghan would have preferred a different scenario in regard to their historic exit announcement. "If relationships had been better, things would have been different," said the source, implying that it isn't just Harry and Meghan's relationship to other members of the royal family that is troubled. "This is not how they wanted to handle this, but Meghan and Harry's hand was forced. There is so much bad blood in that family — it's toxic."

According to another source, the Sussexes ultimately felt unsupported by the rest of the royals in the face of increasingly unfair scrutiny. "Meghan and Harry didn't feel they got enough comfort or solace from them," said the source.
Is this really the way all of this played out? Was Meghan and Harry's groundbreaking decision precipitated by a sense of alienation within the monarchy? If these sources are to be believed, sure. But it goes without saying that any reports which don't come directly from Harry and Meghan at this point have to be taken with a grain of salt.
Assuming these reports are true, though, maybe Harry and Meghan's exit will serve as a catalyst for healing within the royal family. On Monday, the Queen issued a statement about Harry and Meghan's choice that certainly felt like a step in a positive direction.
"Today my family had very constructive discussions on the future of my grandson and his family. My family and I are entirely supportive of Harry and Meghan's desire to create a new life as a young family. Although we would have preferred them to remain full-time working Members of the Royal Family, we respect and understand their wish to live a more independent life as a family while remaining a valued part of my family," she said.
Even royal historian and biographer Robert Lacey couldn't help but marvel over the unexpected sentimentality of the Queen's response. "It was incredibly personal," he told People, adding, "I can't recall a royal statement where one gets the sense so much of the Queen herself speaking. Using phrases like 'my family and I' is very moving. It clearly shows her wish to resolve everything."

Walter Matthau stars as the grumbling, beer-guzzling Morris Buttermaker, a former minor-league pitcher roped into coaching a crass bunch of perpetually losing half-pint misfits. Desperate to win, Coach Morris brings in two ringers.
Parents need to know that The Bad News Bears is a rough-edged kids' baseball comedy with some profanity and really iffy behavior (kids smoke, gamble, and ride motorcycles). During the end celebration, the coach gives beer to the 11-year-olds. One character is an alcoholic. The parents push their kids to win at all costs, and the kids are often bratty and mean.
Children frequently scuffle. Father slaps son. Coach throws things at his players (including a can of beer).
No f-word, but almost everything else. Adults and children use extensive profanity --- true to life but potentially offensive. One boy spouts racial epithets (though he isn't really a racist).
Lots of bad behavior all around.
The star 11-year-old player smokes. During the end celebration, the coach gives beer to the 11-year-olds.


Back in 2015, a Techdirt Podcast explored the fascinating idea of a universal basic income guarantee, something that the Swiss considered, but ultimately rejected in a referendum. The idea of giving money to everyone, regardless of what they do, or how much they earn, is intriguing and attractive for many. But what effect would it have on how people live and work?


A team from a leading luxury holiday lettings company in Cornwall will be trekking 50km as the company raises funds throughout 2019 for the county's helicopter emergency medical service.
Cornish Gems, which has offices in Truro and St Ives and lets over 180 holiday homes, has chosen to support Cornwall Air Ambulance Trust (CAAT) as its 2019 charity of the year.
Throughout 2019, Gems will be raising funds for CAAT's New Heli Appeal which aims to raise £2.5 million by 2020 towards a faster and bigger helicopter to Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
In addition to inviting guests to make a donation when making their holiday booking, Cornish Gems will be fundraising through events and challenges such as the gruelling Trekfest in the Brecon Beacons.
A team of ten from Cornish Gems will be taking on the Pen y Fan to raise funds and awareness of the vital charity which flies more than 800 lifesaving missions each year and is a lifeline for residents and visitors alike.
Philippa Snell, head of sales and marketing at Cornish Gems, said: "Each year we support a charity that's close to our hearts and we are pleased that this year we will be supporting Cornwall Air Ambulance Trust in their bid to raise £2.5 million for a new helicopter for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.


In the grand scheme of things, it wasn't that long ago that the Nissan Leaf was still just a concept, but a Washington man named Steve Marsh bought one of the first- and has put more than 100,000 miles on his Leaf since new, saving thousands on gas and oil and keeping tons of harmful carbon emissions out of the sky, as well.
Marsh was recognized by Washington Governor Jay Inslee, state Transportation Secretary Lynn Peterson, and representatives from Nissan for crossing the 100,000 mile- um, milestone in his Nissan Leaf earlier this month. You can get more on the story, and check out a video of Steve and his awesome EV, in the 1Sun4All article below. As for me, I was impressed when these guys took a Leaf for a trip of "just" 500 miles!

All women who consider themselves emerging playwrights (as distinct from fledgling or mid-career playwrights) are eligible to apply for the 2018 FEWW Prize. Playwrights from all over the world are encouraged to apply, but the play must be written in English. Eligibility does not require that a submitted work adhere to the traditional three-act structure. One-acts, two-acts (even four-, five-, six- acts), monologues, adaptations, and any other wild (or deceptively tame) format will be considered with equal seriousness. The only absolute requirement is that the submitted text be a completed full-length work for theater.
The winner will be chosen by a readers committee selected by the board members of Leah Ryan's FEWW, and will be presented her award as part of the 2018 Lily Awards, which honors the work of women in American theater. In addition, the winner will receive a cash prize of $2,500, a workshop at the Vassar Powerhouse Theater, and a reading of her play in New York City. A stipend of up to $700 for travel and accommodation will be provided by FEWW if necessary.
The deadline for submissions for the 2018 FEWW Prize is Monday, January 8th, 2018 at 11:59pm EST.
Finalists will be contacted in early March and will have one week within which to submit their full play.


Please email a one-page query letter that includes a brief synopsis of your book, your bio or resume, contact information, and the first two chapters or 20 pages of your manuscript. Include "Query" and your book's title in the subject line.
Catsamoa, I got the same form as you did. He's new at the game, or maybe they just have a new policy at the agency.

Conspiracy Theories for the Skeptic Gator
Posted on February 20, 2019 February 22, 2019 by ufhonorsprism
BY ANAYS HERNANDEZ
Discussing conspiracy theories, just like Gator Football, is a favorite pastime of students, due to the mysterious vibes emanating off each story and inevitable curiosity sparked within the mind. I personally love reading up on various theories during my free-time. I mean, who doesn't want to know if aliens are actually real? Maybe Martians are just like us and go out to midtown on Thursdays knowing they have calculus at 9 a.m. the next morning.
Here are some of the most perplexing theories we have yet to solve:
The Assassination of John F. Kennedy:
We all know that Lee Harvey Oswald was the sole individual responsible for the murder of JFK; but, many individuals argue that the CIA was behind the whole process. There have been rumors that the CIA covered up files on Oswald that might have alerted authorities about his dangerous state and plans of assassination. One of the FBI's deputy directors, Cartha DeLoach, stated that one of President Johnson's advisors had told him that "he was now convinced that there was a plot in connection with the JFK assassination," where the CIA was behind the murder. Others argue that Cuban exiles probably participated in the murder plot since they were angry over the Kennedy's failed Bay of Pigs Invasion – in which the CIA trained Cubans to overthrow Castro. Due to their anger, many believe that some befriended Oswald and aided him with murder or were even contracted by the CIA to aid in Kennedy's assassination.
Though this cryptic scheme is one full of different perspectives, first year landscape architecture student Michael Sullivan has familial ties to one of the JFK conspiracies. Sullivan's grandfather knew Jack Ruby, the individual who murdered Kennedy's killer, Lee Harvey Oswald. Sullivan stated that "the day after the [assassination], my dad and his siblings got two new dogs that are the exact same breed as Jack Ruby's dog." His grandfather ended up going to jail with Jack Ruby, where Ruby died of a pulmonary embolism. Sullivan's grandfather was also – coincidentally – a doctor, which led to the belief that his grandfather might have caused Ruby's death by injecting him with chemicals. Sullivan's father jokingly said that "my dad killed Jack Ruby and betrayed him for the CIA." Whether it be a result of undercover Cuban agents or CIA cover-ups, John F. Kennedy's assassination was an incredibly tragic moment for United State's history, shaping the government to what it is today.
Aliens Living Amongst Us:
Many individuals believe that aliens exist and likely residing in Area 51, an area in Nevada which the government closely controls. The nearest you can get to Area 51 is about 26 miles away from it, any closer and you might be at risk of getting shot down from one of the military officials monitoring the area or "disappearing" from the face of Earth the next day. First year student Madeleine Myers said that "it's so statistically likely" that there are aliens out there, living, breathing, and existing just like us. Government officials have also implied that extraterrestrials are real. During an exopolitics conference in Toronto, Paul Hellyer, former Minister of National Defense for Canada said that "a document was prepared which concluded that at least four species [of extraterrestrials] had been visiting Earth for thousands of years," and that "there are live ET's on Earth, where at least two of them work with the United States Government." Prestigious scientists, government leaders, and thousands of individuals believe that aliens do truly exist – with proof. Think about it: how can we be the only living, advanced organisms in the universe amongst billions of galaxies in the universe?
A Hollywood Moon Landing:
Due to many small details spotted during the televised moon-landing event, many argue that the moon-landing was indeed, fake. During the Cold War, various countries had been competing with each other to see which nation would be the first to launch a man into space, prompting the Space Race. Since there was a time-crunch with who would send someone off first, it is believed that the United States faked the landing by creating a fake replica of the moon, in order to win the race. The moon's atmosphere does not allow for air nor breezes to make a flag move; yet, the American flag clearly waved during the televised event. In addition, on one of the astronaut's helmets, a slight figure that looks like a stage light, can be seen on the reflective surface. The shadow on the moon should come solely from the sun; but, there are various shadows seen, implying that the shadows may have come from stage lights or people standing watching the false event occur. NASA has gone out to deny that any of the theories are real. What is ironic is that one journalist asked a NASA official if the tapes can be released again to the public, but he said that the tapes have been destroyed. Why would one destroy an iconic, historical relic? Though I believe that the moon-landing was real, there are definitely some points which raise suspicions about the so-called genuine event.
Conspiracy theories can be true to some extent, but all things considered, they are just fun pieces of information to talk about and ponder upon. After all, who knows if an alien might be watching you while you are reading this article?

Six thousand years of culture and history are illustrated on the Museum Island, a panorama stretching from the Ancient Egyptians and the civilisations of the ancient Near East to Greek and Roman Antiquity and the Christian and Islamic art of the Middle Ages to European art of the 19th Century.
Six thousand years of culture and history are illustrated on the Museum Island, a panorama stretching from the Ancient Egyptians and the civilisations of the ancient Near East to Greek and Roman Antiquity and the Christian and Islamic art of the Middle Ages to European art of the 19th Century. The collections housed in the Museum of Prehistory and Early History extend the timeline even further to cover the whole of human history. Various different cultures come together in the New Museum, recently rebuilt by David Chipperfield, which houses not only the rich treasures of the Egyptian Museum and the Museum of Prehistory and Early History, but also the Collection of Classical Antiquities, the Münzkabinett (coin collection) and the Sculpture Collection, examples of all of which are displayed on the main floor to enable visitors to take an impressive tour from the early period of Egypt's history via the Roman provinces and the Celts and Germanic tribes right through to the High Middle Ages.
The Museum Island is most famous for the large scale architectural exhibits in the Pergamonmuseum, which were found during German excavations conducted in Western Turkey at the end of the 19th Century. The Pergamon Altar (closed for renovations till 2019), with its frieze depicting the battle between the gods and the giants, comes from Pergamon, while the market gate comes from the late-Roman city of Miletus. The main attractions in the Museum of the Ancient Near East, which also has some of the oldest examples of script on cuneiform tablets from Uruk, are the Processional Way and the Ishtar Gate from Babylon, made up from thousands of colour glazed bricks. Among the impressive exhibits in the Museum of Islamic Art are ceramics, glass, metal and ivory, carpets and book art, as well as the sandstone facade of an early 8th Century palace from the Jordanian desert.
The Altes Museum (Old Museum) offers an insight into the worlds of Etruscan, Greek and Roman art. Built during the empire period, the Bode Museum with its striking cupola houses the Sculpture Collection including works from all over Europe dating from the early Middle Ages to Classicism. You can also see Byzantine art of the 3rd to 19th Centuries here, as well as a selection of some of the most valuable coins and medals from Antiquity to the 20th Century in the collection displayed in the Münzkabinett.
The Old National Gallery, rising above the Spree like an Ancient Greek temple, was opened in 1876 to house the contemporary art of the time and today still has painting and sculpture from the 19th Century on show. The highlights are the rooms with the Impressionists and Caspar David Friedrich.
The Museum Island has been included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites not just because of its world-famous collections, but because it is a unique architectural ensemble of museum buildings. The five buildings were constructed between 1830 and 1930 by well-known architects and in their time were pioneering examples of museum architecture. While all that was faithfully reconstructed of Schinkel's Old Museum after the Second World War were the impressive colonnade fronting the facade and the rotunda, the Old National Gallery's interior is still largely original. The magnificent staircases, the Basilica and the Renaissance porticos and fireplaces put in by Wilhelm von Bode have been retained in the Bode Museum. In the New Museum, the language of Classical forms meets contemporary architecture in an impressive encounter; while some rooms still have columns, ceilings, floors and even decorative painting from the 1850s, the rooms destroyed during the war, including the monumental staircase, have been recreated in simplified forms in high-quality concrete.
The website for the master development plan for the Museum Island provides information on the history of the buildings and plans for the Museum Island's future.
The market gate of Miletus, the Processional Way and the Aleppo Room in the Pergamonmuseum, Nefertiti and the Berlin Gold Hat in the New Museum; the Berlin Goddess, the Praying Boy and the bust of Caesar in the Old Museum; Tilman Riemenschneider's Four Evangelists in the Bode-Museum; Schadow' s double statue of the Prussian princesses, Menzel's Iron Rolling-Mill, Manet's In the Winter Garden and Caspar David Friedrich's Monk by the Sea in the Old National Gallery.
By underground (U-Bahn) or suburban railway (S-Bahn) to Friedrichstrasse or Hackescher Markt and then it's five minutes on foot. Travelling by bus, the 100 and 200 will take you four or five stops from Brandenburger Tor or Alexanderplatz to the Lustgarten.
In the café in the Bode-Museum (above the portico) or in the small cafeteria in the Old Museum. Until the entrance building in front of the New Museum has been built with a large café and restaurant, there are still plenty of attractive places in Hackescher Markt or in Georgenstrasse.
The Museum Island area ticket, available in all the museums, is valid for the permanent collections (but not for special exhibitions). From tourist information offices you can get the Museum Island Welcome Card, entitling you to use all public transport and likewise valid for all the permanent exhibitions.
One or two of the museums are regular venues in the Long Night of Museums in August. There are occasionally concerts and theatre productions in the stairway hall of the New Museum. On Sunday evenings during the summer months there are free concerts outside the Bode Museum. There are concerts, readings and discussions in the Museum of Islamic Art during the Nights of Ramadan cultural festival.

Porgy and Bess Still Has Soul
Posted on September 2, 2011 by beccackidwell
Photo by Michael J. Lutch
The Gershwin's Porgy and Bess by George and Ira Gershwin, DuBose and Dorothy Heyward, adapted by Suzan-Lori Parks and Diedre L. Murray, American Repertory Theatre, Loeb Drama Center, 8/17/11-10/2/11. http://www.americanrepertorytheater.org/events/show/gershwins-porgy-and-bess. Mature themes.
(Cambridge, MA) Norm Lewis and Audra McDonald bring soul to American Repertory Theatre's production of The Gershwin's Porgy and Bess. The couple struggles to hold onto their love in the midst of danger and strife. Although minor changes have been made to the operetta, the integrity of the original piece remains intact.
Norm Lewis puts his entire heart into the role of Porgy. Lewis' physicality as the cripple remains constant and believable throughout the entire show. Porgy provides warmth and safety to Bess despite his physical limitations. Porgy's love, faithfulness, and strength cannot be denied. Lewis' dynamic performance and sensual song will definitely garner him a Tony nomination if the show does make its intended Broadway transfer in January.
Audra McDonald extends the dulcet tones of her voice to the frail Bess. Bess needs shelter when her husband Crown kills a man and runs away. She finds comfort in Porgy's arms. McDonald demonstrates her dexterity as an actress particularly after Bess encounters Crown. Bess' devastation contrasts acutely with Porgy's strength. Audra McDonald will likely be nominated for her performance when it transfers.
Suzan-Lori Parks main revisions to the script were to place isolated events in context and remove extraneous exposition. These revisions are minor and non-intrusive. However, these revisions do little to enhance the story. All of the supporting characters remain one dimensional. In addition, the added text to explain "It Ain't Necessarily So" does little to justify the song's placement or purpose. The lack of major revisions does not weaken the show. In fact, it keeps the show true to its original conception. The only disappointment for some might be not having the chance to explore more developed characters that provide an in-depth exploration of the community of Catfish Row.
The Gershwin's Porgy and Bess will not disappoint anyone looking for a true, passionate depiction of the original opera. Audra McDonald and Norm Lewis' performances provide the soul for the heartbreaking story that will delight Broadway audiences in January.

Watch Chaka Khan Reign on the Weather Girls' Classic "It's Raining Men"
Posted April 22, 2015 by J Matthew Cobb in Features
A bit stormy, Chaka Khan's rendition of "It's Raining Men" on Late Show still shows off her super soulful pipes
The countdown for David Letterman's last show on late-night TV is now in motion. And he's not going out without throwing the party favors.
Last night, Chaka Khan — a ten-time Grammy award winner, a point the show's host reiterated twice — took to the Late Show stage to perform a rendition of the Weather Girls' 1982 pop/dance classic "It's Raining Men." Late Show music director Paul Shaffer, who co-penned the hit song, accompanied the singing machine on keyboards. Khan was also supported by New York's best: former Luther Vandross backing vocalist Tawatha Agee and Aretha's own Vaneese Thomas made up parts of the juicy background, providing dexterous soulful support as if they were a gospel ensemble.
In the beginning of the song, Khan seemed a bit troubled. She fumbled over lyrics as if the teleprompter was out of commission. Most parts of the song collapsed as if she didn't know it. And it would make sense if she didn't; she never recorded it. Shaffer may have asked her at the last minute to sing it, possibly filling in for original singer Martha Wash. It felt very uncomfortable in those moments to see a golden songstress stumble on live television.
"It's Raining Men" started to feel like it was raining cats and dogs instead.
But as the song's chorus rolled out, Khan's confidence began to build. In those moments, her love for jazzy riffs and decorative improvisations started flowing like a raging waterfall. And her stratospheric wails were also on full display. At the age of 62, "ain't nobody" going to hit those high notes like the incomparable Chaka Khan. She works her voice like a 21st century Ella but with unlimited range.
According to Letterman, Khan is planning to roll out a new solo album later this year.

15 Gay Anthems You Better Have…Or Else


As a mortgage agent, the strength of your network and relationships dictate your success – both with regard to generating leads and with negotiating deals, especially the difficult ones.
The Internet has spun on its head the way that we develop and maintain these relationships. Gone are the days of networking events and snail mail – here to stay (at least until something even more impressive comes along) are the days of Google, email and social media marketing.
So how can a mortgage agent compete in this new digital world? Gaining a keen understanding of how to leverage digital media is a start. You don't always have to start with a huge budget – just a little bit of time and know-how.
Social media marketing is by far the path of least resistance because it doesn't involve the same level of competition as organic SEO where big players are marketing (not just other brokers, but the banks and the rest of the world). Social media marketing gives you the ability to reach a wide variety of prospects and market to them easily.
First – don't try to be all things to all people. Pick a social platform and focus on it! You are busy and time is limited – if you try to build your presence everywhere you will have less success than if you focused in a single place. For example, if Twitter is your chosen platform, make sure that you are posting regularly, not just once or twice a month when the moment arises. Be sure to read up on best times to post, and how often.
Second – connections are power. As you work day to day, connect on your social media to EVERY single person you meet. Not only does this give them gentle reminders as you post updates but it also enables them to influence their network to know more about you.
Third – Sharing is caring. As you connect to other people, share their content!! Later they will be more likely to share yours. This will also help get your name out there.
Fourth – focus on quality. Online marketing is not just about soliciting your services. Share valuable information that interests people and also ties in to what you do. Your content needs to speak to prospects about topics of interest and provide value, otherwise it will just get lost in the shuffle.
Fifth – align yourself with a brokerage/principal broker that is forward thinking and understands digital mortgage agent marketing so that you have the support you need to be effective.
