Focusrite plc (voorheen bekend als Focusrite Audio Engineering Ltd.) is een Engels producent van audioapparatuur. Focusrite ontwerpt en produceert audiointerfaces, microfoon voorversterkers, mengtafels, digitale signaalprocessors en software.

Geschiedenis
Focusrite werd in 1985 opgericht door Rupert Neve. Een van zijn eerste opdrachten was het bouwen van een uitbreiding voor een mengtafel, in opdracht van de Britse muziekproducent George Martin.

Het resultaat was een signaalversterker die positief werd ontvangen. Focusrite besloot dit ontwerp als basis te gebruiken voor toekomstige producten. In 1988 werd een mengtafel uitgebracht, model Forte, maar het bedrijf verkocht vanwege de hoge prijs slechts twee exemplaren.

Het oorspronkelijke logo van Focusrite bestond uit twee cursieve letters f, afkomstig van de Focusrite Forte of de muzikale term 'fortissimo' (zeer luid).

In 1989 kocht Phil Dudderidge, medeoprichter van Soundcraft, de middelen van Focusrite op. Het bedrijf bracht een jaar later een nieuw ontworpen mixconsole uit, de Focusrite Studio Console.

In augustus 2004 nam het bedrijf Novation over, dat onder de naam Novation Digital Music Systems Ltd. verder ging.

Focusrite kwam in 2005 met de Saffire, een serie van audiointerfaces die begin dat jaar werd aangekondigd tijdens de NAMM Show. Deze productlijn bleek zeer succesvol en werd in de jaren uitgebreid en verbeterd.

Eind 2010 bracht Focusrite de Midnight-serie uit van plugins, waarbij met digitale signaalverwerking werd geprobeerd de originele ISA110 equalizer en ISA130 compressor na te bootsen.

Japan to simplify Tokyo 2020 Olympics to limit the spread of coronavirus
The postponed Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games could see fewer spectators and a smaller opening ceremony
Kasey Furutani
[Update, June 12] The International Olympic Committee and Tokyo 2020 organisers have officially decided to simplify the Olympics to reduce the spread of Covid-19 coronavirus while also reducing the cost of the pricey postponement. Japan Today reports that there are 200 items that can be simplified, including reducing the number of people who are involved in the Games but aren't spectators or athletes, such as IOC and sporting officials. After the Tokyo 2020 organisers have reviewed the 200 items, the final proposal will be presented by the IOC Coordination Commission at an IOC board meeting in September.
[June 5 2020] The global spread of Covid-19 coronavirus has caused the postponement of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games to 2021. The Olympics are supposed to bring the world together in celebration, but the virus has restricted us to our homes. The impact of the global pandemic is still being felt, although Japan recently lifted its state of emergency and Tokyo is just beginning to reopen.
The Japan Times reports that, while Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has previously refused to hold a reduced version of the games, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said this week, 'It is also extremely important to host a secure and safe games'. It seems like there's no way to hold the Olympics without making adjustments to avoid the spread of coronavirus.
The same report also mentions government sources saying on Thursday that certain measures could be put in place for the safety of everyone involved in the Games. This includes possible PCR testing for athletes, staff and spectators, limiting the number of spectators at events, reducing the scale of the opening and closing ceremonies, and keeping Olympic Village virus-free by restricting athletes' outings.
However, nothing has been set in stone yet. The Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games and the International Olympic Committee are still discussing ways to avoid the spread of the virus.
In a Kyodo News report, Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike was quoted saying, 'We hope to work together with the government and the Tokyo organizing committee to look into what can be rationalized and simplified. It will be necessary in order to gain empathy and understanding from the public.'
The Olympic Games were supposed to start on July 24 this summer. Many other large summer festivals and events in Japan, including the popular Fuji Rock Festival, have also been cancelled.

HAMMOND – The national traveling exhibit "Life and Limb: The Toll of the American Civil War," is being displayed in the lobby of Southeastern Louisiana University's Sims Memorial Library through Dec. 13.
Curated by the National Institutes of Health's National Library of Medicine, the exhibit explores the experiences of disabled Civil War veterans who served as a symbol of the fractured nation and a reminder of the costs of the conflict.
Beth Stahr, head of reference and instruction at the library and coordinator of the showing, said the exhibit notes the hundreds of thousands of soldiers – many as young as 18 – who were wounded in the war but still survived.
"The exhibit highlights the brutality of operations near the battlefields and the challenges of caring for the wounded soldiers during the Civil War," she said. "It is estimated that about three-quarters of all the operations performed during the war were amputations, sometimes undertaken without anesthesia. The exhibit shows the realities of wartime and the scale of the carnage."

Canadian oil can be part of transition if it gets cleaner, IEA head says
OTTAWA — The executive director of the International Energy Agency says Canadian oil and gas can be part of the transition to a clean-energy future if the industry can cut its carbon footprint.
A new IEA report on Canada's energy industries praises the country for pushing toward net-zero emissions by 2050 but warns the challenge facing Canada as an oil and gas-producing country is immense.
"While we move in the direction of clean energy, Canada has to transform itself," IEA executive director Fatih Birol said at a virtual news conference releasing the report Thursday.
To achieve required climate change goals by mid-century, he said half of global energy consumption has to be zero-emission electricity and most of the rest will have to come from low-carbon fuels like hydrogen and biofuels.
"The consumption of oil and gas has to diminish, demand has to decline," Birol said. "There is no way out. But I wanted to make clear that a declining demand doesn't mean tomorrow they will be zero."
The IEA's recent "net zero road map" showed achieving net zero by 2050 — where no greenhouse gas emissions are added to the atmosphere — means oil consumption will have to fall to about 25 million barrels a day from 100 million currently. Natural gas consumption will have to be cut in half.
"So, we will still need oil and gas for years to come and, therefore, somebody has to produce the oil somebody has to produce that oil," Birol said. "And I prefer that that oil is produced by a country that produces them in a clean way."
Canada, he said, could be that country.
But the report warns that Alberta's oilsands in particular need to pay more attention to emissions from production, which on average are higher than most other sources of oil including conventional oil wells in Western Canada and offshore production in Newfoundland and Labrador.
The research from Rystad Energy said last year the global average of carbon emissions from producing oil amounts to 18 or 19 kg of carbon dioxide per barrel. Most operators fell between 10 and 40 kg.
Canada's oilsands, Rystad reported, which require a lot more energy to extract, had an average emissions intensity of "a staggering 73 kg." per barrel of oil. Rystad said that number is unlikely to fall much unless oilsands companies find a way turn to clean energy to power their production, or introduce carbon-capture and storage systems.
BMO Capital Markets predicts the average oilsands emissions intensity could fall to about 62 kg per barrel by 2030.
Keith Stewart, a senior energy strategist at Greenpeace Canada, said what the Canadian government does not want to say is that, no matter how they slice the picture, Canada won't meet its climate targets without cutting oil and gas production.
"That's the politically difficult thing to admit," Stewart said.
Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson said Canada is moving to be more sustainable in fossil fuel production with its promise to cap emissions from oil and gas for the first time, and regulate them downward every five years, until they reach net zero by 2050.
That will, he said, include major investments in carbon capture and storage, technology that loosens the oilsands bitumen so it isn't as hard to extract, and replacing on-site energy sources with cleaner ones, such as small modular nuclear reactors.
Wilkinson said Canadians can expect to see the broad strokes of where oil and gas emissions will have to be when Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault tables the next climate plan at the end of March.
But he said the actual caps and regulations are still a ways away as the federal government works with the industry and provinces to develop them fairly.
Oil and gas production accounts for about one-quarter of Canada's total emissions, while fossil fuels overall, including producing them and burning them for transportation, electricity and heat, makes up 80 per cent.
The IEA report also says Canada needs to pay more attention to expanding its interprovincial electricity ties, so provinces with cleaner sources of power can replace the coal and natural gas supplies powering places like Alberta, Saskatchewan and New Brunswick.
Some provinces see signs of COVID-19 situation improving; others less positive
Some provinces were pointing to glimmers of improvement Thursday in the Omicron-stoked fifth wave of the pandemic, but the outlook was not as positive in others. Ontario announced a plan to start loosening COVID-19 restrictions by the end of the month, but Quebec said it was too early to ease any public health measures. Modelling in Saskatchewan predicted a possibility of a record-high of people in hospital, while Alberta said hospitalizations will continue to increase. Ontario Premier Doug Ford
U.S. to require COVID vaccines for essential workers crossing borders
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is announcing Thursday it is requiring that non-U.S. essential workers such as truck drivers and nurses who are crossing land borders be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, effective Saturday. The Biden administration first announced in October that effective Nov. 8 it would again allow non-essential foreign visitors to travel from Canada and Mexico into the U.S. across land borders if they were vaccinated. The U.S. land borders with Canada and Mexico had been closed to non-essential travel for 20 months because of COVID-19 concerns.

An agreement before marriage is not a bad idea. Here's why!
Madhuri Y June 27, 2018
Madhuri Y
This article is one of a series on marriage and finances, another instalment of which can be found here.
Surely we don't need a prenup!
Had I heard about a prenup prior to my wedding, I would still have flicked it aside as if it were a pesky fly. I might even have laughed with a, "What do I need a prenup for!"
A similar notion holds true for most of us; yet in the villages, towns, and cities of India, people are separating in numbers that we're slowly beginning to register.
Interest is now rising in prenuptial agreements, those pesky financial contracts of who gets what in case—just in case—of a divorce. Yet the interest is an afterthought and happens after the couple's already headed for divorce, by which time the couple's financial resources are so fused together that unravelling them is the devil's own job.
Yet, we are reluctant to discuss a prenup out of a few mistaken notions. Here are some of them.
That it goes against marital stability
The notion that a prenup goes against the ethos and goal of marriage, mistakes preparedness for the eventuality, that somehow the preparedness makes us behave in a way that invites the eventuality.
We know very well that we do not invite disease (eventuality) by the mere act of buying insurance (preparedness), nor do we live an unhealthy lifestyle (inviting the eventuality) simply because we are insured.
It's time to separate the two just as courts in the USA have done just under a half century ago.
A study of Norris vs. Norris will tell us that US courts had held, until the 1970s, that any provision which facilitates marital separation is against public policy and hence not enforceable.
In 1970 though, this argument was shot down, following the Florida Supreme Court's verdict that such agreements are enforceable, and other courts followed suit, discarding the notion that they were contrary to the public policy of promoting marriage stability.
Affects trust in the relationship
When we believe that trust somehow pops into relationships like a full-grown tree, it's easy to think that the prenup-signing couple is saying, "I can't trust my future spouse," and make ourselves believe that they are off to a wrong start.

What they are really saying is, "We know that we're different from each other. We're trying to understand those differences and work through them."
That takes openness, respect, and give-and-take—qualities that build trust as much as they help create an equitable prenup.

Goes against the theory of holy sanctity of marriage
Holy sanctity hasn't stopped us from measuring the bride and groom's financial status, nor in demanding the bride's dowry.
A gentleman who was vehemently against the idea of a prenup stated recently that without doubt, a prenup shouldn't enter the couple's relationship. Yet, he also admits that money shouldn't enter it either.
Yet, we bring money into the picture in most marriages, which means, we are capable of seeing the couple's practical needs. In this context, holy sanctity simply looks like an acceptance of all that's age-old and a rejection of all the new things that change the existing dynamics of a man-woman relationship.
Romance-killer
We do know that romance brings a temporary disruption in our natural instincts, that it's fleeting, is tinged with chemistry, hormones, and sweeping gestures that disappear with time and the everydayness of life.
If there's anything wrong with romance, it is that as it wanes, which it inevitably does, its place needs to be taken by trust, respect, tolerance, and a few other things that actually hold a marriage together.
In fact, a prenup discussion can balance the head-in-the-clouds feel of romance with a clear view of the ground.

I don't need a prenup
Probably, all these are just reasons that we give to support our distaste for prenups. In all probability, the real obstacle could be the unrealistically optimistic view we hold of our future.
In the USA, only 1.5 per cent of marriage license applicants would consider entering into such agreements (prenups), even though nearly half of recent first marriages will end in divorce.
I came across a certain company, which painstakingly went through 500 years of flood data and built their headquarters high enough to beat the worst flood up to five centuries ago and the data wasn't neatly Google-stored either.
Strange as that might sound, it shows foresight, which is the ability to set feelings and wishful thinking aside for a little while, take a hard look at statistics, and take steps that prepare us for the worst of eventualities.
I can't discuss finances
Probably, the most important factor is our complex relationship with money. We are clear about our financial goals, yet we worry that we'll be viewed as money-grubbing and uncultured if we discuss finances, which forces us to make up other reasons for not discussing a prenup before a wedding.
As regards the people who demand dowry, they carry a strange upper hand in their minds, which rejects the need for a prenup discussion, and that should be a warning signal to the other side.
Let's not forget that anywhere from 40 to over 50 per cent couples list finances as a strong reason for marital conflict.
Try viewing a prenup as the chance to have an honest talk with your partner about the individual wealth and incomes, financial goals, and how both of you could meet these. And as the means to create joint and individual spaces for both of you, all of which helps you lead a higher quality of life.

Q: Python: Executing other files I am new to python, and I have these two python files. One of them is a terminal program, the other a hangman program. If I were to go on the terminal program and type "gm hangman.py" (I set up that command already) I want to switch to that python file. When the user is done with hangman (I programmed that too) I want it to go back to the terminal. I don't want to add the hangman file to the terminal because I want other people to be able to add their own games easily.
How would I do this?
Thanks!

A: Your question isn't entirely clear, but I think you're looking for the subprocess module. In particular, something like this:
subprocess.check_call([sys.executable, 'hangman.py'])

As the docs explain, check_call will "Run command with arguments. Wait for command to complete." That's exactly what you want, right?
But what's the command? That's where sys.executable comes in: the command is the same Python interpreter that's running your "terminal program", and its argument is the Hangman program.

NASCAR Mailbox: Is Joey Logano's 2017 to 2018 Turnaround the Best in NASCAR History?
November 21, 2018 Brandon Hauff
Last season, Joey Logano and the No. 22 Team Penske team did not make the playoffs after an encumbered win at Richmond early in the season seemed to ruin their vibe for the remainder of the year. Logano struggled mightily every week to the point where he missed the playoffs for the first time since joining Team Penske in 2013.
One year later, he is a Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champion.
Is this the greatest turnaround for a team from one year to the next or is there a better one in recent memory?
With 2018 now in the books, it is time to compare this past season with those of the last few years. We saw a ton of amazing racing throughout the season in all three series, all the way until the championship races at Homestead.
Was this the best season in NASCAR in the last few years? Was it similar or worse? Can 2019 live up to the hype we saw in 2018 or will it be a disappointment?
Q: Do you consider Joey Logano's turnaround from 2017 to 2018 the greatest in NASCAR history? If not, who do you think owns that honor? Bill N., Des Moines, IA
Last night Team Penske friends and family gathered back home in Charlotte, NC to watch @JoeyLogano and the No. 22 team battle for a championship. ?
This is the reaction when he crossed the finish line. ? pic.twitter.com/PHcfxM3DOK
— Team Penske (@Team_Penske) November 19, 2018
A: Statistics do say that Logano did, in fact, have the greatest turnaround from one year to the next, going from 17th, missing the playoffs in 2017, to winning the title this season.
One year ago, I would not have listed Logano as a favorite for the 2018 Cup Series title. He barely would have made my picks to advance to the Round of 8 with the way he struggled in the second half of last season. However, Team Penske gave Logano what he needed and that team rebounded in a huge way.
All year, Logano was near the front, but you could sense that there was just something missing from his performance and he needed that extra something to get him to the next level. After winning Talladega in April, he knew he was locked into the playoffs and did not have to worry about another repeat of 2017.
Once the playoffs began, though, Logano and his team stepped up in a big way. Eight out of the 10 races, he finished inside the top 10, and that included his two wins at Martinsville and of course, Homestead-Miami to clinch the championship this past weekend. Team Penske as a whole was much better as they combined to win six of the last 12 races of the season as a team, with Logano's teammates Brad Keselowski and Ryan Blaney picking up victories as well.
The talk at the beginning portion of the season was the Ford camp being much stronger than many expected, but it was all about Stewart-Haas Racing. As the season progressed, the Penske Fords caught up and, by the time we got to the playoffs, they seemed to be just as strong as the SHR bunch. Logano proved this to be true with his consistency, and his wins.
There is no question about it — Joey Logano is one of the sport's superstars now. He had come close before, making it into the Championship 4 twice before this. The third time was the charm for Logano and his team, and the turnaround they had from last year to this year is one we may not see again for a long time.
Q: Did you think 2018 across all three series was the best season NASCAR has seen racing-wise in a few years? Or was it similar or worse than it has been recently? Beth T., Charleston, SC
A: If I had to compare this season in all three series to years past, I would say it was better. Forgetting the Cup Series for a minute, the Xfinity and Truck series had some of the best racing in many years for both series.
The Xfinity Series has a lot of hope for next year. The series was highly competitive in 2018 and very unpredictable up to and including the championship race at Homestead. Once the field was narrowed down to only eight drivers in the second round of the playoffs, any one of those eight could have won the championship. That is the first year I feel I could genuinely make such a statement.
The Truck Series was at its best in several years too, between the fantastic finishes and the close racing we saw all season long. This series puts on the best show week after week, year after year, and this season was no different. I expect this to continue into 2019 as there is only going to be more talent moving up into the series with guys like ARCA Champion Sheldon Creed and Harrison Burton who will be running full-time for GMS Racing and Kyle Busch Motorsports, respectively. It should be very entertaining once again in 2019.
The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series provided the best season since 2014, from the Daytona 500 all the way until Homestead. 2014 was the first year for this current playoff format, and it did not disappoint with the amount of excitement we saw in all 10 playoff races. This season had a similar vibe to it, well before the playoffs even started and of course, continuing into the postseason.
Chicago started the trend of excellent races with that spectacular finish between Kyle Busch and Kyle Larson, and each race afterward had its own intriguing storylines. This is the first year that has felt that way for quite a while. For me, I was on the edge of my seat almost every race, not really knowing what would happen until the checkered flag flew.
The championship race at Homestead capped off an amazing season for the Cup Series. The way Joey Logano won the title, making that final pass on Martin Truex Jr., was the perfect way somebody could ever win a championship in sports. It felt like a game seven, all-or-nothing moment, and that is what makes the playoff format so entertaining and the sport so great. Forget what happened 15 years ago with the old points system — now is now and Logano earned his title fair and square.
Suffice it to say that 2019 has a lot to live up to. 2018 will be a season to remember because of a first-time champion in all three series. Whatever happens in 2019, one thing is for sure: NASCAR will find a way to entertain us all as it did this past weekend and all year long. The only thing to say now … is it time for Daytona yet?

Rural safety reminder after aggravated robbery
New Zealand Police also recently shared some safety tips to lower the number of violent dairy robberies. Credits: Video: Newshub Image: Supplied
Safety in rural areas is under the spotlight after an aggravated robbery in rural Bay of Plenty.
Police were called to a rural property in Reporoa, near Rotorua in the early hours of Monday morning.
A man had been hit across the body with a baseball bat and threatened with a firearm by three men.
Firearms, ammunition, and electronic items were stolen, while the victim received only minor injuries .
Police think the property may have been targeted, but say such incidents serve as a valuable reminder to keep rural properties secure, and to ensure valuables are kept out of sight.
"Lock doors and windows overnight, and make sure auxiliary buildings and vehicles are also secured," a spokesperson said.
"Sensor lights can be an excellent deterrent to those coming onto a property."
Keeping a detailed inventory of all personal valuables and household and business equipment, including model and serial numbers, inscriptions, and other identifying features is also advised.
"Rural New Zealand has a reputation for tight-knit, supportive communities, you can help to keep safe by knowing your neighbours, exchanging contact phone numbers and keeping those numbers handy."
Meanwhile investigations into the Reporoa robbery are continuing.


Here I was thinking that the only news coming from the Gilmore Girls revival these days would be a premiere date announcement, when all along there were more surprises just waiting to be released from the Warner Brothers set. Like the fact that Alex Kingston is going to be in the Gilmore Girls revival. The news came during an announcement the actress made at Supercon in Miami over the holiday weekend. Speaking to a packed house, the Doctor Who actress confessed that she would be playing a part in a number of the revival episodes. That's right, folks. Not just one bit part, but a big enough part to warrant an appearance in many episodes. And, for a show where each episode is set to span an entire season, this means that Kingston will be sticking around the Gilmore Girls revival for an extended period of time. But, who will Kingston play in the Gilmore Girls revival? From what she had to say on Saturday, her role could be a memorable one.
So let's break it down, shall we? From what Kingston had to say on stage about her revival role, we can make out a good bit of information. For one, she'll be starring on screen with Rory herself, Alexis Bledel, who she named and spoke of fondly during the interview. She also said that her character was "eccentric," and that she would appear in multiple episodes. But, when it came time to talk about the other characters in the revival, she seemed to hold back, especially when talking about Bledel. Does that mean that the two of them are in more than a few scenes together?
It's very possible — especially since Kingston mentioned that the scenes she shot were not in Stars Hollow (aka, the Warner Bros. lot in LA), but on location somewhere else. Considering Kingston is generally a London-based actress, that could mean big things for Rory and for the revival. Let's take a minute to remember who else was in London during the seven seasons of Gilmore Girls… oh, that's right, Logan! So, even though Kingston can whip out an American accent with the best of them, it's worth wondering if she'll be playing someone living across the pond. Like, perhaps, someone working with Logan's father's newspaper?
In which case, does that mean that Rory could be overseas at some point in the revival?
Only time and four new episodes will tell. But, even if her role has nothing to do with London, the fact that she is in multiple episodes means that she'll definitely be playing someone significant in the revival. Either way, color me so excited!

Social Media Marketing: When your product delights your customers, customers will help sell it
Daniel Burstein	October 16th, 2015
Where does social media success begin? In many cases, it begins well off of an online platform like Facebook or Twitter. It begins with a valuable product.
Cambria Jacobs, Vice President of Marketing, Door to Door Organics, sat down with me to discuss the natural and organic grocery company that sells entirely through ecommerce. She shared how it started with a valuable product that customers loved and built off that base to grow its social media fans more than 600% in less than 18 months.
Start by producing share-worthy products
"We were really proud of getting our hands on the best organic produce. We weren't necessarily looked at or aspiring to become this strong ecommerce player with a really strong technology savvy. And what has grown, being a pure ecommerce player, is our customers were finding us on social media," Cambria said.
The product itself had enough appeal that it spurred a passionate base audience organically promoting it to friends, family and connections on social media.
"We had organic visuals that were popping up on Instagram and Facebook before we even had a presence on Instagram — just our customers taking photos of their box and of their delivery," she said.
Identify the right social platforms
I am often asked if a brand should be on Facebook. Or on Twitter. Even though Facebook has monstrous engagement and reach compared to other social media platforms, it might not be right for your company.
The real question you have to ask is — what social media platforms are my customers on and do they want to engage with my brand on that platform?
When Cambria joined Door to Door Organics, the company did not have a social strategy. So first she identified the target customer, which social networks they were on and which social networks they were discussing Door to Door Organics on.
She brought on a dedicated social media resource to drive engagement and revenue through these social platforms.
When establishing brand accounts on Facebook, they followed a local strategy, with different brand accounts for different areas served — for example, Kansas City and Des Moines or Colorado.
Amplify the message
Through content promotion and social media advertising, Cambria's team grew engagement and follows on these targeted platforms and turned the company's tagline — Joy Delivered — into a hashtag and thematic campaign element.
"We've been able to harness a lot of that content that was out there, and actually do contests to have people — what brings them joy in their life? What is 'joy delivered' to them? And it can be our food, but it can also be the smile on their healthy child's face or it can be at the soccer game," Cambria said.
Create content to grow audience
Door to Door Organics has been growing it's following from a niche group of passionate customers to a more mainstream audience.
"The natural and organic buyer is becoming more mainstream so we're certainly crossing that chasm into a bigger market, and education is critical," Cambria said.
Her team deepened the connection to its brand through digital and visual storytelling about its local farmers and artisan food producers with, for example, farmer trading cards, as well as publishing value-added educational content such as recipes, promotional offers and time-saving food and shopping tips.
Don't forget to be social
The team also provided an accessible outlet for customers to share issues related to their delivery and the company's service.
This is, after all, fresh produce. And organic produce at that. Unlike, say, electronics or clothes, by the time it reaches the customers, there may be issues with the product. Addressing them proactively, along with any other customer questions, has been core to building a solid relationship with followers.
In addition, the human element is very important to Door to Door Organics brand, according to Cambria.
"It's what makes Door to Door Organics truly a differentiated brand. We're not just a pure ecommerce online grocer; we're much more than that. And the joy aspect of that emotional connection, since we are delivering all the way to the customer's door, we feel that we are part of their family," Cambria said.
Social media's impact on company success
"Our customers have become, truly, some of our best salespeople," Cambria said.
Not only has this advocacy been seen in the company's social media metrics — for example, it grew from 80,000 fans to more 300,000 fans with an engagement rate of 35% on Facebook — more bottom-line-oriented metrics show this success as well.
Social media now accounts for between 10 to 20% of all new customer acquisitions. Customers now frequently cite social media as the number one way they learned about the company. And the company's success helped it land $25.5 million in a Series B round of venture-capital funding to expand further.

A "continuously – open" mechanism was applied to gather/select proposals but, as a general rule, applicant(s) had to submit their proposal between two and six months before they wish to begin their visit. ExpeER also offered "Fast Track" transnational access applications to researchers interested in visiting one or more TA sites for a brief period (max. 5 days).
Applicants were requested to firstly submit a short proposal (pre-application form) via the ExpeER website, which was automatically be sent to the TA Coordination Team, as well as to the Site Manager of the relevant research facility. At this stage the eligibility of the proposed access (in line with above referenced eligibility criteria) and the feasibility of the proposed work (in consultation with the ExpeER facility/site) was evaluated. Candidates were informed within 2 – 4 weeks of the outcome of the eligibility phase. If the outcome was positive, candidates were been asked to get in touch with the Site Manager of the ExpeER facility/site concerned before completing the full application form.
Prior to submitting their application, applicants were advised to contact the Site Manager for which access is being requested to clarify the practical arrangements. Further clarifications of the proposed access could be provided via the downloadable TA forms (return address in the form).
Name(s) of the selected site(s): One or more sites can be included in TA applications. ExpeER encourages applications for experimentation at multiple sites.
Application Type: Clarify the type of research you want to undertake. TA-1: Users will physically visit the site(s) to conduct research/measurements. TA will contribute to the cost of travelling/living expenses. TA-2: Users install specific instrumentation(s) at the site, but may not physically visit the site. The site manager will be responsible for data collection and management of installation, however TA users may still need/want to visit the site to inspect the local site conditions, install instrumentation, and maintain, control and collect data. Access involving new sampling and/or provision of biological or material to external users will also be considered.
Joint Experiment: Indicate whether your project is linked to other existing EU projects and/or institutions.
Project Participants: Provide applicant details (first and surname, citizenship, organization, address, email, telephone) and indicate whether the application is an individual or group application. If it is a group application, indicate whether the applicant is the Group Leader, and provide details (name, organization, citizenship) of other group/project participants.
Outline of the scientific issue: Provide a background, context and justification for the submitted proposal (1 page maximum).
Scientific aims and objectives: Explain why you want to perform your research at the selected site(s) and the general objectives of your research (1 page maximum).
Methodology: Outline the methodology you want to use, the required instrumentation and the methodology of processing the obtained results (½ page maximum).
Expected results: Describe the results you expect to achieve following TA (½ page maximum).
References: Provide a bibliography including key references.
Preferred start date: Indicate when you would like to start your visit.
Duration of visit: Indicate how many access days you need to achieve your goals outlined above.
Please propose one or more external referee(s): Suggest one or more experts in your field of research to evaluate your proposal.
Additional comments: Please add any additional information/comments.
The TA selection process gave priority to collaborative projects promoting science, methodology, and technology transfer and advancement. Since the successful completion of a transnational experiment and publication of the data do not only depend on a successful field period, but was also dependent on further support to complete the subsequent analysis of data and publishing process, users/user groups that could show sufficient funding for such completion of the experiment should be given priority over users that could not.
The review process was organised by the TA coordination team, largely via email. The submitted proposals were automatically sent to the TA coordination office and to the site(s) manager(s).
The evaluation of TA was a two-step process, in line with the two-step application process described above.

CSU-Pueblo softball team snaps long losing streak in Land of Enchantment

It took a trip to the Land of Enchantment for smiles to break out on the faces of the Colorado State University-Pueblo softball team.
After opening the season with a 1-13 record and in the midst of a 12-game losing streak, the Pack finally broke out this past weekend at Las Vegas, N.M., against New Mexico Highlands University. The ThunderWolves won three of four games in Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference play to get off the snide.
CSU-Pueblo won two games in a Saturday doubleheader 16-4 and 2-1 and followed that up with a 12-4 win on Sunday in the first game of another twin bill. It was on the verge of sweeping the Cowboys, clinging to a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the seventh inning of the second game, before giving up two runs and dropping a 6-5 decision.
Pack coach Christie Koschke said continous hard work is finally starting to pay off.
"Honestly, we've been working real hard," Koschke said. "It seems like we've been hitting the ball hard. (The losing streak) wasn't for lack of trying, lack of effort. We have a very good team. Things are starting to fall our way."
Koschke explained what transpired this past weekend in New Mexico.
"The pitchers threw well, the defense played well and the hitters came to play," she said. "It was a complete team effort, including the bench. It was just a different atmosphere.
"We talk about the process, how you have to be invested and trusting in the process. In turn, when the players trust themselves, it leads to wins. It's as simple as that."
Two players have triggered the offense and were instrumental against the Cowboys.
Marissa Piatt is eighth in the RMAC in batting with a .434 average. She's 23 of 53 with five homers and 16 RBIs. Michaela Burpee is hitting at a .382 clip with five homers and 16 RBIS.
The team plays a nonleague doubleheader at Canyon, Texas, at 11 a.m. Wednesday against West Texas A&M before heading back into RMAC play at MSU Denver on Saturday and Sunday. The teams plays doubleheaders both days starting at noon and 11 a.m.
Baseball: Stan Sanchez's club won three of four RMAC clashes over the weekend against Regis University, thrusting themselves back into the hunt in the league chase.
The ThunderWolves are now 10-10 overall and 5-3 in the conference, in fourth place.
Colorado Mesa (20-2 overall) and Dixie State are atop the standings at 8-0 with MSU Denver third at 6-2.
"We improved our position, it's all about positioning," CSU-Pueblo coach Stan Sanchez said. "Josh Dahl gave us a great (pitching) start (in Game 2). We have two guys up front who have given us a chance to win games in Beau Brieske and Dahl. We're waiting on Brett Matthews to emerge as our No. 3 pitcher. And Nick Zappala gave us a quality start in the fourth game."
Sanchez believes his team has some pieces to be competitive.
"Our strength is in our starting pitching with Brieske and Dahl and Andrew Coverly is starting to make a lot of progress on our back side throwing the ball in the 90s with a good, power slider.
"Defense has gotten better with Jesse Holguin at short and we're starting to turn double plays. Catching has been outstanding and our outfield play has been somewhat inconsistent."
Brieske is 3-2 with a 3.60 ERA, striking out an RMAC best 66 in 35 innings. Opponents are hitting .250 against him.
Dahl also is 3-2 with a 4.76 ERA with 48 strikeouts in 34 innings. Opponents are hitting .271 against him.
Coverly, the team's closer, has struck out 13 in 91/3 innings and has posted three saves.
The offense has been good a times, questionable at times.
"Our offense has been hit and miss," Sanchez said. "At times we an run produce and at times we've got stopped. We're moving around the bases better and doing some short-game stuff.
"That might be the part of our offense we may have to use in order to run produce."
Easton Adler leads the team with a .469 batting average with four stolen bases. JP Hopkins is hitting .441 with 11 RBIs.
The Pack plays a nonleague game at 3 p.m. today at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley before returning to Rawlings Field for a four-game RMAC set against Colorado Christian (6-15, 1-7). The teams play a single game at 6 p.m. Friday, a 1 p.m. doubleheader Saturday and another single game at noon Sunday.
The weekend marks the first of four home series against quality teams in the conference.
"We're very fortunate to host Christian, Colorado Mines, Colorado Mesa and UC-Colorado Springs," Sanchez said. "It helps us to get them all at home."
