Marketing the Silver Bullet
Three lessons for designers, marketers, and leaders
The Coors Brewing Company was a relative latecomer to the light beer market among the major breweries in the United States. After briefly stagnating on the shelves, Coors Light, nowadays produced by the Coors Molson Beverage Company, is now the number two brand of beer sold in the US.
When Coors Light launched in its original buff-colored can, it was failing to distinguish itself from its elder sister brand, Coors Banquet, which adding to the confusion, had hitherto been marketed as America's Fine Light Beer. Customers couldn't tell the difference, and therefore, they were not picking up the new product.
To remedy that, Coors introduced the Coors Light's Silver Bullet campaign. It has since become one of the most iconic and enduring pieces of Marketing Americana.
We examine this story from the perspective of two of its protagonists.
"The first Coors Light can's design was way too close to Coors Banquet," said Marc Barrios, then a graphical artist at Coors. "They just put the word 'Light' in there, at the bottom. And that was it."
"I did something close to Coors Banquet, looking at it like it was a line extension. Then I looked at different colors. I thought: My God, this silver is kind of nice. It's refreshing, it's young," Barrios said.
The new can stood out. The minimal tweaking of the design meant that Coors could save time in the approval of the graphic designs and manufacturing the new printing plates. And the silver background required one less color than the original design, which saved ink. Bill Coors, the CEO at the time, was keen on saving time and cost, and championed the new can.
It was a hit. And Barrios would eventually rise to head Creative Services at Coors. After leaving the company in the late 1980s, he would go on to work on the promotional material for major films, including Apollo 13, Space Jam, Jurassic Park, and Batman.
One day in the early 80s, Bill Coors' daughter called him.
"Dad, you know what college kids are calling our beer can?" She asked him.
"No, what?"
"A Silver Bullet," she said.
College students were going to bars saying Hi-Ho. Silver Bullet, in the voice of the Lone Ranger, when asking the bartender for a can of Coors Light.
"What a tremendous idea! I couldn't wait to get our people together the next morning, and tell them about the silver bullet. I couldn't think about a better promotion," Bill Coors thought to himself.
Next morning came. But as Bill shared his insights, eyes started rolling.
"It was the NIH factor," Bill Coors explained. "It's a devastating factor everywhere. If it was not invented here, then it's no damn good."
Coors recognized that his team was not going to be receptive at the time. So, he dismissed the meeting. Two months later, his Vice President of Sales called excitedly. He wanted to present his team's breakthrough idea for a marketing campaign for Coors Light to the Board.
Coors listened politely, congratulated the team on their brains, and sponsored the idea. Thus, The Silver Bullet campaign was born.
Constraints unleash creativity
Thinking outside the box has become such a cliché. But the truth is, if there is no box, there is no outside of it. By embracing the time and cost constraints he faced, and focusing on playing with what he could change, Marc Barrios came up with an iconic design that so effectively communicated the product's lightness and freshness, that its legacy endures after more than 40 years.
Not Invented Here gets in the way of Customer Centricity
Good marketers have to be clever, and clever people often have big egos. But that big ego can also get in the way of a marketer's most important function: To be customer-centric.
Smart marketers know when to put ego aside, and follow the lead of others. Brands live, first and foremost, in their customers' heads. So, more often than not, the one to follow is no one other than the customer. In this case, it was the college kids who consumed their product that showed Coors the way.
Leaders that give credit to others can accomplish anything
As Chief Executive Officer, Bill Coors could have forced his ideas through in that first meeting. However, he realized that he needed his team's full and willing support to execute on the idea, so chose to exercise leadership with restraint, and quietly influenced his key stakeholders instead.
And when they came around, he gave them all the credit.

To ensure that this happens in Scotland, Children in Scotland is working in partnership with Together, the Scottish Alliance for Children's Rights to set up a panel of children and young people to provide advice to the Scottish Government.
Anyone aged 8-18 who lives in Scotland can apply to come to the selection day. You can also apply if you were under 18 at the time of the EU referendum on 23 June 2016.

Those of you who love nature and have a great deal of respect for aesthetics, Untamed Bengal Tiger would certainly appeal to you as a beauty! If you have already experienced the wolf game, then you would have the basis for this edition as well!
A 243 pay line slot across five pay lines is your perfect option if you are looking to earn some rewards. The tiger, as we all are aware is one of the fiercest animals on planet earth. Always on the hunt and make sure you have your speakers on because you will certainly enjoy all of the sound effects.
The symbols are great too.
The Forest is one of them; the next is a pack of beers. Of course, tigers and deers make a great match anyway. If you can spot a Bengal tiger somewhere and a tiger's eye then you have got your hands on the special and the scatter symbol respectively.
The trick is to find four boxes and to fill them up by landing a wild symbol if you are looking to earn some extra free spins. However, if you want to have something more than that, you will have to land the tiger's eye symbols, probably thrice or more than that. That could earn you up to twenty free spins!
Untamed Bengal Tiger also introduced the gamble feature for players who are looking to stake their winnings for something extra. It gives you the liberty to choose how much you want to gamble and that subsequently affecting the chances of success and failure.
The untamed series has given great titles such as the wolf pack, and it continues to grow on its beautiful theme and great soundtracks. Untamed Bengal tiger is a video slot game that you must try in an attempt to earn a few rewards. We can't deny the fact that the tiger, from the distance of a computer screen, appears pretty cute!


The Law Enforcement, Organized Crime and Anti-Money-Laundering Unit of UNODC is responsible for carrying out the Global Programme against Money-Laundering, Proceeds of Crime and the Financing of Terrorism, which was established in 1997 in response to the mandate given to UNODC through the United Nations Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances of 1988. The Unit's mandate was strengthened in 1998 by the Political Declaration and the measures for countering money-laundering adopted by the General Assembly at its twentieth special session, which broadened the scope of the mandate to cover all serious crime, not just drug-related offences.
The broad objective of the Global Programme is to strengthen the ability of Member States to implement measures against money-laundering and the financing of terrorism and to assist them in detecting, seizing and confiscating illicit proceeds, as required pursuant to United Nations instruments and other globally accepted standards, by providing relevant and appropriate technical assistance upon request.
3. Integration, making the money available to the criminal, once again, with its occupational and geographic origins hidden from view.
These three stages are usually referred to as placement, layering and integration.
About We want to be a bank that always puts its clients first and create sustainable long-term value for all of ABN AMRO's stakeholders – including clients, shareholders, employees and society at large.
ABN AMRO Bank N.V. is a Dutch bank with headquarters in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. It was established, in its current form, in 2009 following the acquisition and break up of ABN AMRO Group by a banking consortium consisting of Royal Bank of Scotland Group, Santander and Fortis. Following the collapse of Fortis, the acquirer of the Dutch business, it was part nationalized by the Dutch Government along with Fortis Bank Nederland.
Chicago – A $15 million fine paid to the State of Illinois by ABN AMRO Bank N.V., head-quartered in the Netherlands, is the largest penalty ever imposed against an Illinois regulated bank. The fine is part of the $80 million settlement against the bank announced today to settle persistent problems with ABN AMRO's compliance of federal and state laws and regulations.
Federal authorities fined Dutch bank ABN Amro Holding NV $80 million, one of the largest banking fines in U.S. history, for violating U.S. money-laundering laws and sanctions against Iran and Libya.
The fastest way to kick-start the shift away from a centralized economy is to stop financing the big banks - and through them, the activities they are financing - and to switch your bank deposits to a well-managed, community bank or credit union. In fact, it's the single greatest point of leverage you have as a consumer.
"The recent departure of New York Stock Exchange Chairman Richard Grasso makes this article, first published in 2001, very prescient, especially in the light of Mr. Grasso's trip to Colombia where he met FARC commanders responsible for providing security for narco-traffickers.
Was Grasso making an in person sales call to negotiate with the drug cartel which was threatening to pull their investments from the stock exchange?
That might be worth a $140 million pay package."

Ang Mo Kio Town Council Website Cyber Breach
Ang Mo Kio Town Council…
Ang Mo Kio Town Council Website Cyber Breach on October 28, 2013
Ang Mo Kio Town Council website cyber breach was yet another work of 'The Messiah', a 'serial hacker' who was known for hacking more than a hundred sites in 2013. The Ang Mo Kio Town Council website cyberattack was another incident which disturbed the authorities at that time and also was another cyber breach which showed that most of the websites are not as safe as they should be.
The Ang Mo Kio Town website cyber breach didn't create a lot of problems on its own, but still, it warned that if everyone was not alert soon, something more culprit could be on its way. Well, this proved to be true in 2013, because until 2018, we have been through bigger problems, and the hackers still have been leaving everyone clueless, as they gain access to every information from countless archives considered to be safe and secured.
This particular event didn't exploit any personal information. The Ang Mo Kio Town Council, stated that their website only consisted of public information. Anyway, what it did teach to the people that time, and still holds true, is that we need to be more alert that we are. In no time, we could be the victim of a similar attack. There are many crackers out there who could create the biggest problems in a person's life, all with a computer. From stealing everything from a person's bank account to bringing out very personal details, everything is possible by hacking. So, we need to be more concerned about our network security; this is what the Ang Mo Kio Town Council website cyberattack teaches us.
Anyway, before the public can do anything about it, it is necessary that the website operators themselves be concerned about it. The Public Obligation under section 24 of the PDPA states that a business should have enough security measures to protect the data of its customers. Also, the Openness obligation under section 11(3) also says that there must be at least one Data Protection Officer in every website run by an organization. Also, a business should also have developed policies to make sure that it doesn't miss out on the PDPA. This hacking happened in 2013, and since 2015, every rule of the PDPA are strictly monitored, still many organizations can't conjugate with these conditions, so there is a lot of risk of such events being repeated.
The Same Hacker Name "The Messiah"
The man behind this incident was, once again "The Messiah," the same person who hacked the Straits Times and many other websites including those of the government offices. He was accused of breaching the security of at least 39 websites initially, which went to more than 100 later. And of course, there might be even more. Anyway, the man has already been captured, and James Raj, "The Messiah" was sentenced to a five years jail time in 2015 as a result of his cyber-related crimes. Even though this man has been captured, there still are many other capable of doing the same damage, and it is evident, the nationwide struggles against the cyber breach are far from over.

I never had AWPs at The Sun and Doves since signing my lease in 1995. Not part of the mix that makes the pub what it is.
During the 2005 rent review correspondence the S&NPE surveyor, telling me that if I did not accept their rent offer, and if it went to arbitration, he 'reserved the right', to include loss of income from AWP's because I did not have them in the pub, as if I am somehow depriving them of income which it is their divine right to receive, even though they, as with everything else, do NOTHING to earn or deserve it.
If that threat is not an abuse of power, what is?
He also said he had 'no doubt' that if it were not for the support of S&NPE my pub would have become a block of flats long ago.
It's been there since 1847. When I took it on it had a turnover of less than £60K a year. It has done more than ten times that ever since I opened it following spending £150K on refurbishment. The freeholder has not spent one penny on the pub in the last twenty years except in litigation against me.


1) To establish a linking memeplex of "works in common" to hold consideration of individual contributions from an open and unknown set of any single or multiple individual sources which these individuals could be either known or unknown to each other or if appropriate for the intended focus, these sources could be of anonymous sources.
2) To provide a method and process to easily identify, collect, to be then have a respectful inclusion (not oppression) of consideration of any individual's partial_thoughts of ideas and constructs from the entire web domain of humans across our planet sphere.
3) If registered as "collective works" to establish and hold the individual contributions of intellectual property, ownership, copyright, publishing, distribution, and/or other reserved rights of the combined "works in common" (in whole or in part) is and must be defined as "collective works" holding "collective ownership" and "collective rights" and "collective controls" as defined by its registered intented purpose.
4) To establish and maintain that the collective rights of any or all individual contributors are held over and above the exclusive ability of any one individual or minority of individuals assumed usage rights and/or control of these materials in whole or part outside of the defined intended scope of their creation that demands any applied usage of these collective or individual materials, in whole or part, must exclusively remain indefinitely in the freely accessible view of the public domain.
5) Any procedure or process relating to or having an affect of the rights and/or controls of any related matter of these collective "works in common" must also be of the same reinforced "public view" by also applying the exact matching value of cybermark to their case documents.
6) Any proving identifiable contributor(s) of materials (as their cybermarked usage) of either individual or class group authority shall have the exclusive "all rights reserved" ability to bring forward any merit assertions of infringement violations and all legal remedies would be a class action as the fully defined "class" is already established and is immediately accessible within abilities of the public record tracking that would only require a simple verification process to gather respondence of the contributor group to then have basically an immedate inclusion for representation in class action proceedings.
7) To establish freedoms of speech in unification of an unlimited design that targets "common bonding" of any focused purpose or utilization of topics that can be inclusive (not oppressive) of any one individual's partial_thoughts of ideas and constructs that purposefully interface these expressed ideas and constructs to and from the combined group mentalities of an unlimited number of places, sources, and resources across the entire world wide domain of humans capabilities on our planet.
A cybermark of common matching value across web based documents that creates its own web of linking logistics designed solely to track documents or other materials exclusively for public domain usage and that any additional usage of content of these materials, in whole or part, must remain at all times in public view.
The utilization of cybermarking allows for the inclusion and continuity of an established memeplex ideal that anyone on our planet could express a public voice onto the subject that would gain credibility to then have an immediately command respect and the immediately command ability to either agree or disagree and to have an immediate command ability to be a leader or a simple follower of discoursed unity.
In addition to the usage of a "cybermark" a separate direct "watermark" (which may be visible or invisible to the public user) in the digital content material could then also be utilized to establish the individual identity outside of the ownership rights of control.
THIS ENABLES THE RIGHTS AND CONTROLS OF PUBLIC FREESPEECH WHICH IS TO THEN AVOID THE ABUSE OF PRIVATE OPPRESSION BY ANY PRIVATE COLLECTING, PRIVATE LISTING, AND THEN PRIVATE (NON-PUBLIC) REDISTRIBTION OUTSIDE OF THE SCOPE OF THE PUBLIC DOMAIN'S VIEW THAT CAN AND DOES ENABLE THE TECNICAL ABILITY OF INFORMATIONAL PROCESSES IN CONTINUED GLOBAL PRACTICE AND USE WITHIN THE LEGAL CONDITIONS OF "INFORMATIONAL QUARANTINE" THAT RESULTS INTO THE EXPANSION OF "COLLECTIVE INFORMATIONAL QUARANTINE".
EVEN THOUGH ENABLED FREESPEECH MAY HAVE THE OBSERVED OVERALL BENEFIT TO THE SERVICE OF OUR GLOBAL HUMANITY, THERE MAY AND IS THE PRESENT DIRECT OR INDIRECT DETRIMENTS OF TARGETED SINGLE INIDIVDALS, FAMILIES, GROUPS, COMMUNITIES, OR SOCITIES AS WHOLE THAT ARE UNWARE (BY DESIGN IN SILENCE AND SECRECTY) OF THE IMPLIMENTATION AND PRACTICED USE OF THESE TECNICALLY APPLIED ABILITIES IN INFORMATIONAL PROCESS SYSTEMS FOR PURPOSES OF OPPRESSION IN WHAT IS LEGALLY DEFINED AS AN ALLOWANCE OF "INFORMATIONAL QUARANTINE".
The phrase "Teach Ignorance To See; or Grief To Smile" is an an observed expressed thought that historically appears in the writings and documents of many individals relating to issues of morallity and ethics for centuries.
The individals do not appear to be related or known to each other.
As more of these documents become publicly visible onto the Internet, this phrase becomes an indentifable cybermark that links all of the historical and current usage of these documents and these individals togehter in an unified group that have found unity in a "common bond" by the repetitive expression of this cybermark ideal.
Get a cybermark mug for your mate Trump.


Basil and mozzarella is the conventional match but mint and mozzarella is also a winner.
Whisk the lemon juice, garlic, sugar and some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil, until well combined.
Place the lentils in a bowl. Gently combine with the tomatoes, spring onions, mint and cherry mozzarella balls. Season. Drizzle with the dressing.
Place the salad leaves in the base of two serving bowls. Top with the lentil salad. Great garnished with extra mint.


It was a pleasure to be part of the Port Eliot Festival marketing team this year, helping to capture the spirit of the festival through Instagram stories. Hosted on the glorious Port Eliot Estate in St. Germans, the Festival has pop-up acts next to the river, roaming performers and quirky little venues scattered across the woodland gardens.
From music and comedy to creative workshops and literary talks, there was a plethora of happenings to choose from. This year, the festival introduced a new area called The Cinematheque, curated by Women Under the Influence and The Violet Book. Based in the gorgeous Orangery Garden, the venue delved into the fascinating world of film through the female lens. I was particularly moved by a Q&A with actress and activist Lily Cole and Daughters of Eve Director, Nimco Ali. Talking about how film can be used for social change, they both shared how the medium has enabled them to shed light on the causes that mean the most to them - the refugee crisis in Greece and the horrors of female genital mutilations (FGM).
One of my favourite bands, The Bookshop Band, sounded spectacular whilst playing in St. Germans' Priory Church, the finest and most historic church in Cornwall. What started as an artistic collaboration in their local indie bookshop in Bath spiralled into a major UK and European tour, writing over 150 songs and over 13 albums. The band members read books and then write songs about those books, collaborating with some of the biggest names in the literary world along the way.
Elementum editor, Jay Armstrong, gave a talk about how she ended up publishing this creative nature writing journal. Her vision was to produce a beautiful publication that brought together scientists, artists and writers in a way that nurtured the reader's connection with the natural world. Armstrong is particularly keen to give the reader a space to reflect and absorb ideas, without regular advertising spreads and stories of human failing.
Whenever I see spoken word poet Hollie McNish perform, she never fails to make me both laugh and cry at the same time. Reading from her books Nobody Told Me, CherryPie and Plum, she shared poems about childhood, adolescent, love and motherhood. McNish has a remarkable ability to make the most mundane aspects of everyday life into profound and nostalgic moments to remember.
Festival-goers were enthralled by the performance of trapeze and circus school, Above and Beyond. Trained and led by Mike Wright, who has been actively performing since the age of eleven, the troupe gave a hair-raising show in trapeze, rope, aerial hoop and tightrope walking. However, my favourite festival moment was dancing by the river in the rain to Pharrell's Happy with a bunch of soggy strangers, whilst being instructed by a jolly man in a hawaiian shirt and very short shorts.
What's with the Pink Highlighter?


Ever wanted to relive your favorite Disney or Pixar animated film on the big screen? Starting this month, you can – if you live in Orlando or five other U.S. cities.
Disney's new membership-based movie-going program, Disney Screen, is a new way to watch your favorite Disney films on the big screen. Each week, Disney Screen will host four classic Disney films. All four films play each day and are accompanied with a short film. Passes are good for unlimited admission (one pass person) and can be purchased for a day, week, month, or quarter.
Each week has a theme (Princesses, Dogs, Father's Day, Romance, etc.) consistent with the four films being shown. Early matinee and twilight shows are programmed to younger audiences (Winnie the Pooh), with evening slots reserved for older crowds (Pirates of the Caribbean).
Each schedule is repeated for seven days, with a new block of titles opening every Friday and playing until Thursday evening. Admission will be offered on a "membership pass" model — $5 per day, $10 per week, $20 per month, and $40 quarterly per person, with unlimited access during your chosen period.
Disney Screen is available in Orlando at the Cinemark theater in the Artegon Marketplace, off International Drive. It's also available in Plano, Texas; Woodridge, Ill.; Valley View, Ohio; Union City, Calif. and Huntington Beach, Calif. For tickets and more information, go to disneyscreen.com.
This was a WONDERFUL family program and my boys and I LOVED it. It was such a magical experience to take them to the theater to see the movies that I saw as a child. Do you know if Disney plans to continue to do this again this Summer (2017)? It would be such a shame if they did not. I told so many people about it and they were looking forward to taking their children. Thank you for any help you can provide.

Maria Sharapova has been handed a two-year ban for using meldonium, a drug that treats heart disease.
The star had been using it since 2006 but the governing body outlawed its use in sport at the start of the year. By taking it, Sharapova tested positive at January's Australian Open and while the infringement was not deemed intentional, culpability through ignorance will now see her off the circuit until 2018.
Keeping tabs on what substances are and aren't legal in sport is often presented as a herculean task and to a degree it is.
However there are plenty of resources freely available to anyone competing to make sure they know what they can safely take.
Certainly it adds a level of admin to your life but it isn't really the most arduous task.
Commute this into other professions and suddenly it doesn't seem such a big ask. Plenty of (less well paid) jobs demand that practitioners keep abreast of the latest legislation; why then is it such a big ask of athletes to do the same?
If a doctor, accountant or lawyer messed up at work, they too could well find themselves facing sanction – as well as a few choice news reports.
According to Forbes, Sharapova's career earnings exceed $20m, the majority of which are from endorsements.
A key part of her wider brand is her 'Sugapova' confectionery operation. And herein lies the PR conundrum; Sharapova has marketed herself – or has allowed herself to be marketed – as a canny businesswoman. Someone genuinely this savvy would surely take far more direct interest in her own bottom line?
Consequently, that she is now contesting her innocence based ignorance doesn't really ring true – and if it is, how much of a clever head really sits on those tanned shoulders?
As a personal brand, sport or otherwise, you really can't have it both ways.
While a two-year ban for such a talented athlete is a crying shame and deprives the game of a great performer, the International Tennis Federation needed to issue a warning to others that taking banned substances will not be tolerated.
Sharapova's public admission of guilt may have been a great exercise in comms but, for the good of tennis and sport, it had little effect on those that mattered.
Unfortunately for Sharapova, her justification for this mistake was simply not good enough and this is clearly reflected in her sentencing.
Your call: Should brands stand by Maria Sharapova after her failed drug test?

Q: MVC 4 External Javascript not working I will made a sample code just to describe my problem, here is the code that I originally use on the view:
@model MyProject.Web.UI.ViewModels.MyModel
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Test";
}

@section scripts{
    <script>
        $(document).ready(function () {
            alert('Test');
        });

        ... more code here (removed for brevity)
    </script>
}

This one is working well, but as a good practice, I need to move the javascript/jquery code to an external file so the above code turned into this:
@model MyProject.Web.UI.ViewModels.MyModel
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Test";
}

@section scripts{
    <script src="/Js/external-js-file.js">
    </script>
}

and in my external javascript/jquery file:
$(document).ready(function () {
    alert('Test');
});

... more code here (removed for brevity)

and to my surprise, the alert wasn't even firing, all of the jquery and javascript code is suddenly not working, I've been googling a lot and I can't find any solution to this, am I missing something? Thanks in advance guys.

A: Hi guys nevermind I've found the culprit! I've copy & paste the javascript code and I found out that there is a server side comment included on the script, stupid me.
@* razor comment *@

I appreciate the prompt reply guys, next time I'll be more careful.

Borderland bands support Juárez shelters with a Christmas concert Saturday in El Paso
Mónica Ortiz Uribe
When temperatures fell below freezing and the electric grid went dark in parts of Texas and northern Mexico this February, a group of orphaned kids in Ciudad Juárez ventured outdoors to pass out blankets to neighbors living near their shelter. The shelter director recalls some of the most desperate neighbors burning furniture to keep warm.
As winter approaches again, the children at Bethel Orphanage may be the ones receiving gifts from neighbors on the El Paso side of the U.S.-Mexico border. A group of local bands will play a benefit concert at a central El Paso bar this Saturday with the goal of collecting toys and supplies for the Juárez kids.
Artists like Carla Riojas, Fools Like Me, Hot Shot Kixxx and others will trade their usual repertoire of indie pop and rock for Christmas songs starting at 8 p.m. at Love Buzz, 3011 Pershing Drive. The cover fee will be a material or cash donation that will go to the Juárez orphanage or another nearby shelter for mentally ill adults called Vision in Action.
"They all come and just perform a Christmas song. It could be a cover or sometimes they actually decide to write their own Christmas songs," said event organizer Manuel Calderon.
"It becomes like a nice networking hub for (the local) music scene, there's a lot of filmmakers that go and other artists," he said.
The idea for the charitable concert, now in its fourth year, came thanks to a 2016 Latin Grammy nomination given to The Chamanas, a now dissolved local band for which Calderon was a bass player and producer. The bilingual border band, known for songs like "Alas de Hierro" and "Dulce Mal," was nominated in the Best New Artist category.
"When you're a Latin Grammy nominee, you get invited to a party called 'Los Producers,'" Calderon said. "All the nominees come in and perform a song based on different themes. When we played, you had to choose the cover of an artist that was no longer alive. So, of course, we chose Juan Gabriel. And all of it was for charity."
Calderon and a childhood friend from Juárez then decided to organize a similar concert in El Paso they called "Posada Fronteriza." Organizers canceled the concert last year because of the pandemic, but still fundraised online.
"I was like blown away by how successful it was," Calderon said. "We took almost two trucks worth of toys that first year. I'd never done anything like that before. It was very satisfying and I could tell people really enjoyed it."
Calderon now plays bass for a new band called Esteromance, which will also be among Saturday's performers.
Three generations of women run a Juárez shelter
Bethel Orphanage began four decades ago when Josefina Valencia, a Juárez university secretary, started feeding kids in her neighborhood.
"She would just make extra food and then the kids just started living with her and she just started. I mean, it just happened," said Valencia's granddaughter, Anna Franklin.
Now the shelter is run by three generations of women. Franklin, 34, is the assistant director of Bethel and lives there full time with her grandmother, who's now 82 and a recent survivor of breast cancer. Franklin's mother, Sandra Flatow, is the main fundraiser and is often traveling between the U.S. and Mexico. The shelter is a privately-run Christian organization that, according to Franklin, is solely donor-funded. Forty-four kids, from diaper-aged toddlers to college-age teens and young adults, currently live there. Franklin said most of them are delivered to the shelter by Mexico's equivalent of child protective services. Most have known abuse and neglect from a very young age.
"These are the kids that don't have anywhere to go," Franklin said.
The shelter employs single moms from the surrounding neighborhood in the southwest outskirts of Juárez, which Franklin said is inhabited by mostly factory workers living in poverty. The same neighbors who got blankets from Bethel during February's freeze, sometimes benefit from private school scholarships and backpacks that the shelter provides.
"On Christmas Day, we walk to the neighborhood houses and give to the kids in the neighborhoods," Franklin said.
Pastor gives a home to the "discarded"
Before landing in Jose Antonio Galvan's non-profit shelter, his residents might have wandered the streets of Juárez destitute, psychologically injured and ignored. Vision in Action, describes itself as a "mental health sanctuary" for the thousands of Juárenes who suffer from untreated mental illness or trauma.
"I minister to those discarded by the rest of society," Galvan, an evangelic pastor, said. "They exist like phantoms in our city."
Galvan houses 120 people in his shelter, located along the mostly desolate Casas Grandes highway, not far from the Bethel Orphanage. Residents range between the ages of 16 and 86. Among them are those suffering from drug addiction, former convicts or severely traumatized victims of the drug violence that permeates the city.
Some have turned to art in an effort to recover and their work has been featured in U.S. exhibitions. One former gang member, who arrived moribund when the shelter first opened in 1996, is now a licensed nurse who cares for the shelter tenants. Major news outlets including VICE, National Public Radio and the Toronto Star have produced profiles on Vision in Action.
"We have here a fount of extraordinary minds," Galvan said of his residents. "It's a sea of imagination and I love to sit and talk with them. They enrich me."
Daily care for each of his 120 inhabitants costs roughly $15 a day, Galvan said, without medication. He said he gets some government funding, but the shelter mostly survives off of private donations.
"To be honest, we need money," Galvan said. "Our electric bill alone is more than $1,000 per month."
The El Paso Community Foundation has a page on their website that directs monetary donations to Vision in Action.
Bethel Orphanage has multiple ways to receive donations on their website. Assistant director Anna Franklin said running the shelter can sometimes be overwhelming. Saturday's "Posada Fronteriza" in El Paso gives her added strength.
"It almost like refreshes you," she said. "It makes us feel hopeful and less alone."
The shelter has yet to find a sponsor to help pay for Christmas dinner this year. Meanwhile, the kids have already made their meal request known.
"They want a carne asada," Franklin said.

It's a shrub! It's a tree! It's—viburnum?
If you've noticed tall woody plants blooming out in big, round clusters of white blossoms this spring, you've likely glimpsed snowball viburnum.
The name couldn't be more apt. Viburnum opulus 'Roseum' is common snowball viburnum, and the shrub's showy blossom clusters look like pristine white snowballs—in spring! This viburnum has been a popular planting since the 1500s, and it's native to Europe and north Africa, as well as the central regions of Asia. Viburnum opulus has also been called "guelder rose," a nod to the Dutch Gelderland, where it was once grown widely.
Viburnums are shrubs, but they can grow to be quite tall and have been known to reach heights of 20 feet. As blooming season begins, their blossom clusters begin green in hue and turn snowy white as spring progresses. For fragrant blooms, plant Viburnum x carlcephalum, also known as fragrant snowball, which produces sweetly scented flowers in spring.
The Southern Living Garden Book describes viburnum as a "large, diverse group of plants with generally oval, often handsome leaves and clusters of typically white, sometimes fragrant flowers that attract butterflies. Blossoms are usually followed by single-seeded, often brilliantly colored fruit much appreciated by birds." These shrubs are evergreen or semi-evergreen, and they're also low-maintenance, requiring full sun to partial shade and regular water.
Other popular viburnums to plant in the South include bodnant viburnum (Viburnum x bodnantense), Sandankwa viburnum (Viburnum suspensum), and arrowwood (Viburnum dentatum). The Southern Living Plant Collection is a good source for viburnums that thrive in our region—try Coppertop™ Sweet Viburnum (Viburnum odoratissimum 'Brant 01' PPAF) for white spring blooms and deep, copper-colored foliage, Snow Joey™ Viburnum (Viburnum luzonicum 'BLV01' PPAF) for delicate, lacy spring flowers, and Sugar Cookie™ Sweet Viburnum (Viburnum odoratissimum 'Compact 01' PPAF) for fragrant spring blooms and striking red winter foliage.
Do you have any viburnums blooming in your yard this spring? What's your favorite spring-blooming shrub?

Q: Google reCaptcha response "Uncaught (in promise) null" I'm use reCaptcha v2 but in dev console response Uncaught (in promise) null in in any case (and moving the .reset() function)
console:

my code for recaptcha:

 Complete the verification:

my callback function:
function callback() {
    if (grecaptcha === undefined) {
        alert('Recaptcha non definito');
        return;
    }

    var response = grecaptcha.getResponse();
    console.log(response);

    if (!response) {
        alert('Coud not get recaptcha response');
        return;
    }

    $.ajax({
    'url' : 'validate-recaptcha.php',
    'type' : 'POST',
    'data' : {
        'response' : response
    },
    'success' : function(data) {
        alert('Data: '+data);
    },
    'error' : function(request,error)
    {
        alert("Request: "+JSON.stringify(request));
    }
    });
    grecaptcha.reset();
}

and my validate-recaptcha.php:
<?php
//debug
$fp = fopen('debug.txt', 'a');
fwrite($fp, print_r($_POST, TRUE));
fclose($fp);
//enddebug

if (empty($_POST['recaptcha'])) {
    exit('Please set recaptcha variable');
}
// validate recaptcha
$response = $_POST['recaptcha'];
$post = http_build_query(
    array (
        'response' => $response,
        'secret' => 'yoursecretkey',
        'remoteip' => $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']
    )
);
$opts = array('http' =>
    array (
        'method' => 'POST',
        'header' => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
        'content' => $post
    )
);
$context = stream_context_create($opts);
$serverResponse = @file_get_contents('https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify', false, $context);
if (!$serverResponse) {
    exit('Failed to validate Recaptcha');
}
$result = json_decode($serverResponse);
if (!$result -> success) {
    exit('Invalid Recaptcha');
}
exit('Recaptcha Validated');

Searching on the internet, probably the problem is the .reset() function, but I do not understand the solution.

A: This can happen when your callback code causes an error. In my case, my callback just referenced some variable that didn't exist and I saw the same error. Very weird error for something so simple!
I also saw the same error when I left a . after a variable name on accident. Seems like this is a super generic error that means fix the code in your callback!.

A: I feel I should add an answer here with my specific experience.  I give credit to the top answer, which will be part of my answer.
I was getting: Uncaught (in promise) null.  When I expanded the error in the console it was empty.
I changed my code from this:
function onSubmit(token) {
    if (grecaptcha.getResponse() !== "") {
        $('#request-form').submit();
    }
    grecaptcha.reset();
}

To this:
function onSubmit(token) {
    return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {

        if (grecaptcha.getResponse() !== "") {
            $('#request-form').submit();
        }
        grecaptcha.reset();

    });
}

What this change does is allows you to receive a specific error message in your console.  You can then proceed to fix your specific problem.

A:
Turns out it also occurs when a site is not "registered" in the Google recaptcha/admin Domains area.

Solution: Add the domain in the recaptcha admin area:

*

*Sign into your Google account where your recaptcha keys are registered

*Type into Google "google recpatcha admin console"

*Go to your settings for your (production) key

*In "Domains", add these two entries:

localhost
127.0.0.1

*Save it and test your recaptcha.

I made this error when I switched from a development key to a production key. The production key did not have any entries for localhost.
I configured the API response to sit behind a proxy-redirect. Therefore the verification was working in a localhost environment which was not configured in the Google Admin console which caused this generic error.
Credit to @Christian Žagarskas who pointed it out in his comment.

A:
I had this error too and I found is related with the recaptcha callback (in your case data-callback="callback"). If you remove your data-callback attribute the error won't come up.
The console error Uncaught (in promise) null indicates the callback is waiting for a promise. Here's a basic callback function for recaptcha using promises:
function callback() {
    return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {

    //Your code logic goes here

    //Instead of using 'return false', use reject()
    //Instead of using 'return' / 'return true', use resolve()
    resolve();

  }); //end promise
};

In your case you need to adjust your code to something like this:
function callback() {
  return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {

    if (grecaptcha === undefined) {
        alert('Recaptcha non definito');
        //return;
        reject();
    }

    var response = grecaptcha.getResponse();
    console.log(response);

    if (!response) {
        alert('Coud not get recaptcha response');
        //return;
        reject();
    }

    $.ajax({
    'url' : 'validate-recaptcha.php',
    'type' : 'POST',
    'data' : {
        'response' : response
    },
    'success' : function(data) {
        alert('Data: '+data);
        resolve();
    },
    'error' : function(request,error)
    {
        alert("Request: "+JSON.stringify(request));
        reject();
    }
    });
    grecaptcha.reset();

  }); //end promise
}

This is my first answer in SO, so please be patient and let me know if I forgot or missed something :)

A: Another trigger for this error that plagued me was having a button in the form with a name attribute of 'submit'. If using the automatic binding example code from the reCaptcha documentation, this will trip it up, since 'form.submit' will refer to the button rather than the submit() function of the form itself. Doh!

    <title>reCAPTCHA demo: Simple page</title>

    <form id='demo-form' action="?" method="POST">

      <button name="submit" class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="your_site_key" data-callback='onSubmit'>Submit</button>

    </form>

A: Similar to John Rix issue/solution. I also got the error when the id of the submit element was 'submit'.

<input type="submit" id="submit" value="submit">```

A: In my case I was using jquery.3.4.1.slim.js then I changed to jquery.3.4.1.min.js and the error disappeared. I'm on ASP.NET WebForms .

A: I had this issue. It was because in my callback function jquery code was there and for some reason, I had forgotten to include the jquery script. So if you are having this issue, I suggest you to carefully go through each line of your call back code. May be reduce the complexity line by line and you will get the solution. The error handling should have been done in a better way.

A: I was using ASP.NET Core 3.1 Identity, I had this issue and solved it by updating jquery.validate.min.js and jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js to the latest version in _ValidationScriptsPartial.cshtml.

A: I had the same issue and the problem was that I didn't add localhost to the list of supported domains.

A: I hit this error because I had:
const onChange = e => {
  e.preventDefault();
  console.log('success')
}

<ReCAPTCHA sitekey="yeet" onChange={onChange} />

Removing e.preventDefault() removed the error.


As with all of my "First Look" posts, the usual disclaimers apply: the food and menu may change over the coming days, weeks, and months as the restaurant gets into their rhythm, receives customer feedback, etc etc etc. You know the drill. This post is about what I thought of the food that night.
They opened at noon that day and sold out a whole hour before their 6:00pm closing time.
Click to enlarge. It'll make your life so much easier.
Freebird just does chicken. Thai-style rotisserie chicken to be exact. I had visions of a Mr. Lit/SP Chicken-type Andy Ricker in Thailand kind of chicken fantasy. Having not tasted Mr. Lit's infamous rotisserie chicken, I had to keep my expectations in check. But this tight menu is a good start. In addition to rotisserie chicken, they also do Hainanese chicken rice (or a Thai version they call khao man gai), which has occasionally been on the menu at Longtail Kitchen.
Pay special attention to the sauces listed above. That may be the key to increasing your enjoyment of the chicken.
They're also developing a breakfast chicken congee which sounds great. You can also buy whole birds if you don't want a combo meal.
So what sets Freebird apart from all the other poultry roasteries? They're organic, free range, hormone/antibiotic-free, etc. One of the families that farms these birds is even named BIRD. Slam dunk!
When I got there, they were scrubbing down the rotisserie oven. I wondered if these types of ovens can develop a patina over time, just like how the best bbq smokers have layer upon layer of crud that create an incredible depth of flavour. Sorta like how frying something in fresh, clean oil just isn't the same as using used oil that's taken on the aromas and flavours of the stuff that's been fried before (within reason).
Aside: I've always longed for a Singapore-style hawker stall environment in Vancouver. Our Asian food courts are a similar idea, but AFAIK nobody's gone to the lengths that actual hawkers do — that is, put all of their energy and focus into perfecting ONE DISH. Like in Singapore and Malaysia, you'll have the one stall that makes the best rendition of Hainanese chicken rice, another stall that just does oyster omelette (or luak). I hope for these types of establishments to flourish in Vancouver, but perhaps there might be some cultural and/or economic factors that prevent this from happening here.
Two sizes of rotisserie chicken meal combos, one size of Hainanese chicken combo, chicken-only options, and sides of chicken soup, chicken rice, and papaya salad. That's basically the whole menu!
Half Rotisserie Chicken Meal ($15) with rice, papaya salad, and choice of sauce (which I'll explain below). I dunno if anyone can reasonably finish an entire half chicken meal! Seems like a great deal, especially for ethically-raised chicken.
Hainanese Chicken ($10) with rice and misc veg (cucumber, carrots, radish, and pickled daikon). I also got a chicken soup. The meat was moist and tender. There isn't the Hainanese-style layer of congealed goodness underneath the tight skin, however. But even Nong's Khao Man Gai doesn't do the chicken that way, and it's still delicious enough to create a mini khao man gai empire, so I'm not gonna harp on how this isn't true Hainanese chicken rice. Just remember that it's the Thai take on chicken rice.
At home with The Sauces (clockwise from top right): Ginger & Scallion, Nam Jim Jaew (fish sauce, tamarind, chili), "Mom's Spicy Sambal", and Fermented Soybean & Pickled Garlic.
The nam jim jaew is a great tamarindy salty/sour sauce that they also serve at Longtail. If I had to pick one sauce, it would be this one cuz it provides enough of an accent to the chicken, and works with either the rotisserie chicken or the Hainanese chicken.
The Mom's Spicy Sambal is crazy hot! So if you like it HOT, that's the one for you. Justin's mom must have a mouth lined with asbestos tiles. I tread carefully and used it mainly to mix with the classic ginger & scallion sauce.
The fermented soybean one is a touch sweet, like hoisin sauce. My second favourite sauce so far.
The only other missing sauce is their Sweet Chili sauce, which I imagine would be like the typical Thai sweet chili sauce.
Shot from August 2012 at Nong's Khao Man Gai in Portland. Two containers of the same heavenly NKMG sauce.
At Nong's, that one sauce is all that you need to make a delicious flavour explosion in your mouth. What I think Freebird should do is offer a set of all five sauces for maybe $1-2 and let the customer mix all five sauces to their own personal preference.
Chicken Soup ($2). Goes hand-in-hand with chicken rice. Can't fault it, aside from maybe using a touch less salt.
The Chicken Rice that came with the half chicken meal. Might've been because it was the end of the day, but the rice was a bit on the dry side. The chicken flavour and fragrance was good though. Some room for improvement.
Papaya Salad that came with the half chicken meal. Same as the papaya salad served at Longtail. Picky Thai-philes will notice that the papaya shreds don't look like they've been pounded ("pok pok pok pok"). They're probably right. Does the extra step make a difference? Some say yes. I don't really care in this situation. The seasoning and balance of flavours is good. The chili heat is mild enough so that anyone can enjoy it. Love the plentiful green beans.
The half Rotisserie Chicken before I cut it up. Fried shallots and roasted rice powder (I think) sprinkled on top.
Now this shot looks like that Body Worlds "Animal Inside Out" exhibit at Science World (TELUS World of Science). Meat looks pretty juicy, even the breast meat. You can see the "livery bits" (as Wicca likes to call them) that are located near the spine, where the legs meet the body. If you've ever looked at them up close, they looks like little little brains. Anyone know what they're called?
The half chicken cut up. For $15 this is a great deal. If you can finish all of this plus the rice and salad, I salute you.
One of the parts that we never turn down: THE NECK!
Since this is Thai/Asian-style rotisserie chicken, my guess would be that they marinade the chicken with fish sauce, palm sugar, lemongrass, etc. The marinade is subtle, gently accenting the natural flavour of the chicken while not calling attention to itself. There's a nice caramelization on the skin and a hint of a charred aroma that's mouthwatering. The meat (even the breast) was moist and flavourful. The fat was well-rendered. In fact, if you hit up their Instagram feed, you can see a video of the rotisserie in action. Angus An also has another video (also embedded below) where you can see the fat dripping from the chickens to the chickens below it. Basting in its own juices but not getting soggy. I guess that's the advantage of rotisserie-style cooking. Drool.
A much better launch than the Fat Mao launch. I'm looking forward to eating more chicken from this place.

Making tough prioritisation decisions is a constant challenge for anyone involved in building products. One of the hardest is the need to drive growth for the business vs building lasting product value to keep customers happy. In this talk Roan, will draw on over 10 years experience of founding and scaling FreeAgent, an online accounting product with industry-leading customer satisfaction scores, to discuss a pragmatic framework that allows for a balanced approach to these sometimes competing priorities.
Roan is the co-founder and Chief Product Officer of FreeAgent, an online accounting software company based in Edinburgh. Over the past 11 years Roan has helped build FreeAgent from a weekend side project to one of the leading accounting software companies in the UK, with over 60,000 customers.
Prior to FreeAgent, Roan cut his teeth as a designer in the earlier days of the internet, and firmly believes that companies live or die on their ability to build products that solve real customer problems through exceptional user experiences.

Is there or will there ever be blu-ray support for offline deployment? External flash/hard drives are not allowed in the environments that the install team works in.
We do not have plans to implement Blu-ray support at this time. Our focus is currently on adding additional network-based deployment features, including (most recently) push deployments, initiated from the console. This method allows you to easily redeploy systems that currently have a working OS installed - you simply install a lightweight client and specify the hostname or IP address of your SmartDeploy workstation (this can be automated or done as a part of deployment as well). The computers with the client installed will appear in the Computer Management view of the console, and you can then initiate unattended deployments on one or more computers from the console, without any action required on the computers themselves.
Additionally, we do support integration with Windows Deployment Services, which permits you to PXE boot target devices into an attended or unattended SmartDeploy PE environment, and proceed with deployment from there.
We're working on several exciting new features in network-based deployment for future release. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or issues - you can reach us at support (at) smartdeploy.com.
It's been a few years. Are there any plans to explore supporting Blu-Ray disks instead of breaking the installer up into 5 smaller disks?
We still don't have plans to support Blu-Ray at this time. USB is faster in most cases and more reliable for offline deployment media.
You should be able to theoretically make this work by manually creating a bootable iso and just burning that to your Blu-ray disk. I have done this in the past with other things and it has worked fine. I'm not sure if the process is the same or how the drive behaves with a bootable Blu-ray though so I couldn't speak on that part. Best is to just get a bootable WinPE iso and burn it to a Blu-ray to see if it works first before going down that road. that will surely tell you if bootable Blu-ray is even possible.

Scarborough is one of Perth's nicest beaches – and it's got a lot of nice beaches. The sand is particularly white and soft and the water curves gently on entry, so it's good for families too. But it's also got a wind surfing and kitesurfing centre, so it's not al peace and quiet - it's long enough to fit all this in comfortably though. If you don't want to be bothered find yourself a spot in the dunes.
Scarborough beach does tend to get crowded with young folk during the summer months, whereas other beaches remain quieter.

5 NFL stars likely to miss entire 2022 season to injury ft. Malcom Butler
By Adam Hulse
New England Patriots DB Malcolm Butler
Injuries are always a factor in every NFL season. Football is one of the most physically-demanding sports in the entire world. The violent nature of the game often results in a long list of injuries during each season. Every NFL team is forced to deal with them in some capacity as each year plays out.
It can sometimes be extremely devastating for a team when one of their key players suffers a season-ending injury. This is even worse when it happens prior to the start of the season, in training camp or in pre-season fixtures.
Here are five star players who are likely to miss the entire 2022 NFL season on the injury list:
#1 - Ryan Jensen, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Tampa Bay Buccaneers OL Ryan Jensen
Ryan Jensen has started every game for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during his four seasons with the team. He is a crucial piece of their offensive line and earned a Pro Bowl selection during the 2021 NFL season.
Jensen suffered a serious knee injury during just the second day of training camp. Though he has not yet been officially ruled out for the entire season, a return this year appears to be an optimistic scenario. He is projected to open the year on the injured reserve list.
#2 - Mekhi Becton, New York Jets
New York Jets OL Mekhi Becton
Mekhi Becton has struggled to stay healthy entering his third season with the New York Jets. He missed three games during his rookie year. before appearing in just one game during the 2021 NFL season. He was ruled out for the rest of the year with an injury.
Ian Rapoport
@RapSheet
#Jets OT Mekhi Becton has suffered an avulsion fracture of the right knee cap, per me and @MikeGarafolo. He's seeing a surgeon tomorrow, but likely is out for the year. Brutal.
Bad news has struck Becton once again ahead of the 2022 NFL campaign. He fractured his knee cap during training camp and is expected to miss the entire season.
#3 - Tim Patrick, Denver Broncos
Denver Broncos WR3 Tim Patrick
Tim Patrick has spent all four seasons of his NFL career with the Denver Broncos. He has been a key piece of their offense over the last two seasons, recording 104 receptions for 1,476 yards and 11 touchdowns.
Patrick was projected to take another step forward this season, especially with the addition of quarterback Russell Wilson. He will unfortunately have to wait another year before getting back on the football field. He tore his ACL during training camp and will be forced to miss the entire 2022 NFL season.
#4 - Malcolm Butler, New England Patriots
Malcolm Butler is a legend for the New England Patriots. He spent the first four years of his career with the team, where he helped them win two Super Bowl rings. He is best remembered for his interception at the goal-line late in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XLIX. That last-gasp interception resulted in a victory for the Patriots, consigning the Seattle Seahawks to defeat.
After spending the last four years away, mostly with the Tennessee Titans, Butler has made his return to New England. He re-signed with the team during this offseason, but suffered a season-ending injury.
#5 - Jakeem Grant, Cleveland Browns
Chicago Bears KR Jakeem Grant
Jakeem Grant is one of the best kick and punt returners in the entire league. He has scored six return touchdowns during his career while being selected as a second-team All-Pro in each of the last two seasons.

One of the exciting things about numismatics is the possibility of new and previously unreported discoveries. Sometimes, these arise from close examination of existing and well known coins - overdates such as that featured in our Modern Britain section being a good example. But occasionally something completely new comes to the surface.
The coin which is the subject of this note is one such. Extensive research in catalogues and research reports has failed to come up with anything even remotely similar. From its fabric, size and weight, it appears to be a tetradrachm, issued on the Attic standard, and similar in its general appearance to the tetradrachms of the classic period of Athens.
The present coin is different, however, in that it bears a previously unseen legend, which does not appear to be in any of the known variants of the Greek alphabet, nor yet in any recognised form of the Phoenician script. We can only conclude that the coin in question emanates from an unreported colony of some north European people, perhaps established to further the trade links which were, even at an early date, being established with the city states of the Mediterranean basin.
The provenance of the new tetradrachm is being withheld for the moment until further examination and consideration has been given, but in general terms it can be said to have originated somewhere to the north of Southport. At the time of writing, only one specimen has come to light, so it is, as yet, too early to attempt any estimate of numbers struck based on distributions or die linkages. A team of dedicated researchers is, however, hard at work, and hopes to publish a preliminary thesis before the end of the century.

Email Is and Always Will Be Insecure
Email has been around for more than 30 years. One of the first and most useful functions of the web, email has allowed people to communicate quickly and efficiently regardless of location, time of day, and (more recently) language. Further, through the years, email has become linked with online identity, as web users employ their addresses to create accounts on websites and in stores, sign up for newsletters, marketing materials, and more.
Yet, despite email's endurance, flexibility, and continuing value, despite that there are more than 4 billion email addresses in use today, email remains one of the most insecure practices online – and that will likely always be the case. In initial stages, developers did not integrate any privacy or security into email, and though many efforts have been made to make email more sound, major obstacles prevent total protection of data. Users can and should make moves and develop habits to keep their emails (and the rest of their devices) safe, but by and large, email will never be truly secure.
The Trouble With Email
Email's initial developers never intended the service to become the integral web tool it is today. In fact, email was meant to be nothing more than the simplest way to send messages back and forth between different people on different devices. The messages were transferred in the open, meaning anyone with network or account access could intercept and read the transmissions. Today, that largely remains true.
A user's email messages can be compromised in four locations: the sender's device, the network, the server, and the recipient's device. The first and last should be comprehensible to anyone, regardless of tech savviness; email accounts are usually always logged in, so anyone sitting at a computer or holding a phone should be able to read any email message they choose. Email services rarely encrypt saved messages, so reading emails and attachments is as easy as opening the program or navigating to the webpage. Worse, most malware programs essentially do this – rifle through accessible emails for useful data – so this insecurity is more common than many users expect.
Networks and servers can provide differing amounts of security, based on senders' and recipients' email providers and internet connections. An email message might travel through dozens of routers and switches on its way to a recipient, and each transfer is an opportunity for cybercrime. There is no guarantee that each connection is equally secure; in fact, institutions like the NSA almost guarantee they are full of holes. Email servers are rarely encrypted – because of the overhead costs of encryption as well as the value of saving messages in plaintext (e.g., advertising) – so hackers with admin passwords or access through security flaws can search vast swaths of emails for personal data. From sending to receiving, saving to deleting, email is unbelievably insecure.
Making Email More Secure
Relying on email requires a large amount of trust: Users must trust their email clients, their networks, their servers, and their recipients to have sufficient security to keep their messages safe. Some of that trust can be ensured when users adopt third-party email security solutions. Because it is unlikely that email providers will spare the expense to protect email as thoroughly as they should, users must take personal action to bring email security into the 21st century.
Aside from malware scanning programs, email users' devices should be well-equipped with encryption tools. Encryption is by far the easiest and most effective way to prevent outsiders from reading messages they should not have access to. Users can employ public key cryptography, which encrypts messages and network connections, to allow private users to unlock sensitive data with secret passcodes. Within businesses, this system takes relatively little time to execute, but convincing everyone to adopt a public key encryption – everyone including clients, customers, family members, and friends – is somewhat unlikely. Thus, not all email messages can be secure at all times, even with an effective encryption system.
Email isn't likely to disappear in the coming years, even as other digital communications appear. Unfortunately, it is equally unlikely that email will become inherently more secure. Users must take it upon themselves to protect the emails they send – or else accept the likelihood of prying eyes on their private messages.

e-Mail Marketing the Right Way: Provide Value
[This is a guest contribution by Zachary Zawarski of Zadling]
I don't subcribe to many e-mail newsletters, but if I do choose to opt into your e-mail list, you better make sure that you're doing one thing: providing me with value.
We all know that e-mail marketing is a great way to produce sales for your website, but many business owners make the mistake of using mailing lists purely to push their products and services. That is the wrong way to conduct e-mail marketing.

What are the new South Africa Covid strain symptoms and is the variant already in the UK?
A NEW Covid strain fuelling the second wave in South Africa has been confirmed in the UK.
Two Britons have tested positive for the "highly concerning coronavirus mutation", the Health Secretary Matt Hancock announced this afternoon.
The two people in the UK thought to be contacts of those who travelled between the two countries in the last few weeks.
It comes as Britain battles a new variant called VUI2020/01, which is believed to have evolved in the UK.
Ministers were warned of the new UK variant last week, after scientists discovered its existence in late September.
This variant has reversed the UK's progress in the fights against Covid, forcing the Government to impose restrictions similar to lockdown on 24 million people in the South and East of England.
What is the new strain from South Africa?
The new variant is called 501.V2 and it was announced by the South African government last Friday.
Lawrence Young, a professor of molecular oncology, Warwick Medical School, said: "The South African virus variant emerged in a major metropolitan area in South Africa following the first wave of the epidemic and then spread to multiple locations within two other neighbouring provinces.
"It has rapidly spread become the dominant virus variant in the Eastern and Western Cape provinces."
At this stage, its symptoms do not appear to be different to that caused by the original Covid strain.
The most common signs of Covid to look out for are a loss of taste and smell, a persistent cough, and a high temperature.
What is being done to stop it?
Mr Hancock has ordered anyone who has visited South Africa in the past two weeks, or been in contact with someone who has, to quarantine immediately.
He announced all flights from South Africa will be stopped, following the move from Germany, Switzerland, Turkey, Mauritius and Israel.
Mr Hancock said: "Anyone in the UK who has been in South Africa in the past fortnight and anyone who is a close contact of someone who has been in South Africa in the last fortnight, must quarantine immediately.
"They must restrict all contact with any other person whatsoever."
He said the measures would be "temporary" while the new strain is investigated at Porton Down laboratories, run by Public Health England.
Dr Hopkins said health chiefs were "pretty confident" the measures that have been taken today will help to control the spread.
Dr Andrew Preston, a reader in microbial pathogenesis, University of Bath, said: "It is critical to act quickly to ring-fence a high-transmission infection to prevent it from becoming established, so the precautionary quarantine of those who may have come into contact with the South African variant is vital for this."
Prof Young said it was "inevitable" more areas would move into the harsher levels of restrictions in light of the new variants.
Already 43 per cent of the England population – all in the South East and East of England – will be in Tier 4 by Boxing Day morning.
Prof Young said: "It is essential that we do everything possible to prevent the South African variant from spreading to the UK population.
"Quarantine measures and restricting travel from and to South Africa are imperative."
The same measures of social distancing, face mask wearing and hand washing will still help to prevent you catching any strain of the coronavirus.
Is it more dangerous?
The new strain appears to cause more severe disease in younger people.
That's according to South African's health minister Zweli Mkhize, who tweeted: "Clinicians have been providing anecdotal evidence of a shift in the clinical epidemiological picture- in particular noting that they are seeing a larger proportion of younger patients with no co-morbidities presenting with critical illness."
The strain from South Africa appears to spread faster. Scientists are confident this is the case for the new UK strain, too.
This could be for a number of reasons – it may be because the mutations give it a biological advantage.
Or it could be because people who have it have a higher viral load, which makes them more infectious.
Infectious diseases expert Dr Susan Hopkins told the Downing Street press conference: "Both of them look like they are more transmissible. We have more evidence on the transmission for the UK variant because we've been studying that with great detail with academic partners.
On the vaccine, Dr Hopkins said : "We have no evidence at the moment that the vaccine will not work, actually what that means, in fact, is that there's strong evidence that it will work because the vaccine produces a strong immune response and it's broad and acts against lots of variation in the virus.
"What we are doing is laboratory studies with people who have had previous infection and who have had vaccine to look and see in the laboratory how their blood kills the virus.
"Those take a number of weeks as we grow the virus and do those studies. As soon as they are available, we will of course release them."
How does it compare to the new UK strain?
The South African strain is "slightly different" to the UK's one, according to Professor Neil Ferguson, a member of the UK GOvernment's NERVTAG group, speaking to MPs today.
But at the Downing Street briefing, Dr Hopkins said the two variants were "very different".
Dr Preston said: "The 'South African' variant is distinct from the UK variant, but both contain an unusually high number of mutations compared to other SARS-CoV-2 lineages."
A typical "new strain" might have a handful of mutations, but the British one has 17, while the South African variant has between 10 and 20.
"Some of these mutations change the S protein, which is cause for concern," Dr Preston said.
The spike protein is on the outer surface of the viral particle. It is a focus for coronavirus vaccines, and so if it changes, it could affect how vaccines work.
Will it affect vaccines?
Since the emergence of the British strain, health officials and scientists have said it is "highly unlikely" this will render the vaccines useless.
This is probably the case for the South African one, too. But work is ongoing to look at this further and could take weeks.
It is possible that in the future, we will need to adjust our vaccines so they are perfect against the strains in circulation.
This is how the flu vaccine is made every year.
What's happening in South Africa?
501.V2 accounts for up to 90 percent of South Africa's new cases.
Daily confirmed infections are reaching 9,500 per day, on average.
It's the highest it's been since the peak of the first wave in July, when almost 13,000 cases were being diagnosed a day.
The country saw a dip in cases between September and mid-November before a sudden spike, which the health minister Mr Mkhize said was "being driven by this new variant".
Latest figures suggest the South African strain was behind a record number of people being hospitalised there.
South Africa has recorded the highest number of coronavirus infections on the African continent, approaching the 950,000 mark, with over 25,000 related deaths so far.
A resurgence in positive cases saw the government tighten lockdown restrictions last week, but a lockdown has not been used.
The World Health Organization (WHO) said on December 18 it was in touch with the South African researchers who identified the new variant.
"We are working with them with our SARS-CoV-2 Virus evolution working group," said WHO epidemiologist Maria Van Kerkhove.
"They are growing the virus in the country and they're working with researchers to determine any changes in the behaviour of the virus itself in terms of transmission."
Mutations are normal in any evolution of a virus over time. Already thousands have been found in SARS-CoV-2 within one year.
What makes the latest two from the UK and South Africa so interesting is the speed at which they became "prominent", causing lots of cases and suddenly.
Prof Young said: "Variants of SARS-CoV-2 have been around since the beginning of the pandemic and are a product of the natural process by which viruses develop and adapt to their hosts as they replicate.
"Most of these mutations have no effect on the behaviour of the virus but very occasionally they can improve the ability of the virus to infect and/or become more resistant to the body's immune response."
Dr Anthony Fauci, director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, warned against overreacting to new coronavirus variants.
He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "RNA viruses mutate, we know that, they continue to mutate – they have mutated in the past and they will mutate in the future.
"The mutations that have been noticed in the south-eastern part of the UK and in South Afric… I don't think that this is something that would require draconian changes in policy so we have to be careful that we don't overreact to something that is the natural evolution of the virus that might not have any strong impact on how we handle the virus in any way."
