We're inundated with emails shouting at us to try this or buy that. So what makes an email go from interruptive to valuable? Email personalization is one way to capture subscriber interest and deliver more relevant, targeted emails to your audience.
Email personalization is hard work. It's not an add-on, but rather requires an obsessive understanding of each segment of your audience. It requires time, and in full transparency, is nothing that can be mastered in some average "Ultimate How To…" blog post.
Get inspired with these examples from Sephora to start integrating personalization into your email marketing strategy.
When it comes to email personalization, it's essential to go a step further than first name. To do it right, you have to understand where your subscriber is in their customer journey. In what context are they opening your email?
These days, everyone knows your "first name" in email. Demographics can be a good start in your email targeting, but that's table stakes. In our Email Marketing in 2020 report, we found that 76% of our respondents agreed that in five years, emails will be completely personalized. This level is something your subscribers will come to expect—similar to mobile-friendly email today.
To make your email memorable and shareworthy, you have to go beyond first name personalization and start delivering relevant, timely email experiences.
You can use the signup process to learn more about your subscribers. In addition to name and birthday, this can also include information about location, product or content preferences, and more.
Here's the dilemma: the more data you have, the better you can target; however, the more data you ask for in the signup process, the less completion of signups you'll see. Test your signup forms to see what works for you, though we recommend stripping them down to the bare minimum. You can also look into progressive profiling, which involves building your subscriber's profile over several interactions.
Mapping out your customer journey from start to finish is a daunting challenge that moves beyond the email marketer. It's rarely a linear one, and can change based on the persona of the person you're mapping. Typically, the customer journey breaks down like this, but it completely depends on your pricing model.
Prospect: This person hasn't purchased, but may be in your ecosystem by following you on social media, reading blog posts, or attending webinars.
Subscriber: Once the prospect gives you their email address, you can start to target them based on where they've been on your site or other behavior, and begin to nurture them to purchase.
Inactive/Cancelled Customer: While they may use your product or service, they may use it episodically or only shop during specific sale periods. Though they generate revenue, they're not at full potential.
Loyal Customer/Advocate: They continue to renew your service or buy your products, and may begin to tell the world about it, or refer their friends and colleagues.
The key part of the customer journey is to figure out the tipping points between those categories. What makes a person decide to purchase? What makes them come back again and again?
From there, you can figure out points of friction in your journey and how to smooth them. Email is a channel that works at all points of the customer journey because it allows you to deliver your messaging exactly when your subscribers need it most—and at which point in the customer journey is the most relevant.
To start, take a look at what data your company collects about your subscribers and start optimizing. What do you already know about your customers and subscribers?
What Can You Learn About Your Audience?
This example shows off what you can do with product and purchasing data to tip someone from one-time customer to loyal or recurring customer.
I receive something like this about every 4 months, when I need new foundation. Regardless of makeup standards, Sephora has figured out how often I use this makeup, and how long it will be before I'll need another. That's super relevant, timely, and personalized for me—so of course I clicked through!
This can apply to any kind of renewal campaign, whether it's a product consumers use or a subscription service that needs to be maintained.
Once you map out your customer journey, you can look into better targeting your campaigns based on demographics, behavior, and engagement.
Engagement: How do they interact with your company or your product?
That includes upsell and retention initiatives. With Sephora's reward programs, you have to spend a certain amount in a given year to maintain your status (and keep getting those rewards!) Giving your subscribers a nudge in the right direction, ideally with a small incentive, can tip them into the next plan level.
That doesn't have to be with a dedicated email campaign, either. You can include status updates, reminders, and social proof within other emails as well. Sephora includes this bar at the bottom of their promotional emails to add an extra set of personalization based on your account.
If You Don't Have Data…Ask!
To do some of this great personalization, you need a lot of data. If you're having trouble mapping out your customer journey, or aren't sure what points to optimize, start asking for data.
Be very specific about what you're looking for and when you ask, like this email example from Sephora. This was sent about a week after my purchase.
With the subject line, "Details please! How did you like your purchase?" it's clear what Sephora wants me to do: write a review, or at the very least "love" my purchase. Note that it's still personalized with the exact images of what I bought!
Adding reviews to their site helps boost social proof for them, but also gives them valuable data about me and what I like, so they can further fine-tune not just emails but also other on-site targeting and recommendations. As a subscriber (and marketer) I know this, and am gladly willing to spend a few minutes raving about my new eyeshadow if that means I can find other products just like it.
For emails of this kind, strip it down to the absolute simplest it can be (I'd argue that this email design is a tad over complicated for their goal.) Make sure that there's only one call-to-action (CTA) and that the subscriber knows exactly what to do.
When it comes to surprising and delighting a potential customer and encouraging them to purchase, personalization is the way of the future. To do it right, you need data. With Litmus Email Analytics, you can see where your subscribers open and what client they use so you can better understand the makeup of your audience—and how best to target them.


Tom Dowd is a vocalist, guitarist, composer, and bandleader. He can perform solo or provide ensembles of up to 9 pieces in a variety of genres. Tom's interest in music began at a young age, first manifesting itself in a kindergarten-era band featuring his younger siblings that sang acapella rock songs about diet and exercise. The fact that the instruments were imaginary did not affect the intensity of the performances. As he got older, he studied piano and then guitar, while feeding a growing appetite for music of diverse genres. After a decade of playing on and off in various rock ensembles, and years of lessons with Cleveland guitar legend Bob McGwire, he decided to apply to the Berklee College of Music to further his studies in other styles, especially jazz. Once there, he immediately demonstrated his skills as a composer, bandleader, and guitarist, pursuing his interests in styles as diverse as classical, jazz, hip hop, rock, and contemporary Middle Eastern. At Berklee he studied with guitar luminaries such as Jon Damian, David Tronzo, Randy Roos, Jon Wheatley, and David Fiuzcynski; other noted instructors include David Santoro, Victor Mendoza, Arjuan Ortiz-Vizcay, and Ed Saindon. In the Spring of 2008, Tom graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Professional Music. He still resides in Boston where he leads his original group, Strange Changes, and performs live jazz.

Fresh peach pie made from sweet ripe peaches is a great late summer treat.
One of our summer garden favorites is yellow crookneck squash. They are good in many dishes or just sauteed with onions and a seasoning salt. This recipe is so simple that it only has three ingredients.
These extra sweet oatmeal cookies are delicious with chocolate chips, carob chips, raisins, or tiny date granules.
This is a fun tofu recipe: a natural side with stir-fried vegetables or good for sandwiches or pocket breads.
French Fries remain a favorite at our house. We went from deep fried to baked without skipping a beat–still delicious and easy to make. Here is a simple recipe you can tweak to suit yourself, even using sweet potatoes.
These two healthy whole grains work together well with the walnuts and seasonings contributing to it's special flavor. Keep frozen cooked grains in your freezer for making quick meals.
An easy, delicious cashew-based gravy with a good depth of flavor–great for potatoes, patties and entrees. A real asset to any cook's collection of recipes.
Minestrone has always been a favorite soup, especially with some whole-wheat bread sticks. Add a nice big salad and you have an easy, delightful, nutritious meal.
This spinach-basil pesto uses green ripe olives in place of the oil that you find in most recipes. It is delicious on pasta, new boiled potatoes or added to marinara or pizza. It only takes minutes to make and leftovers freeze well.


VRV vs. VRF HVAC Systems: What's The Difference?
How does your HVAC work for you? You set it at a temperature of your choosing, it cools or heats your home to that temperature, then it cycles back down, right? Then, when the house starts to warm up or cool down again, it cycles back on. Pretty simple, isn't it? Well, this simple mode of operation is certainly a tried and true way in which to regulate the temperature in one's home. Like anything else, though, we've seen some advancement in technology when it comes to HVAC system operation over the years.
If you've been researching your heating and air conditioning options lately, then you have probably come across systems using VRV or VRF technology. The benefits associated with this technology are no doubt enticing, as they include improved comfort at a lower operating cost. Still, there may be some confusion about these terms and what they mean for your HVAC system in Boerne, TX. Keep reading to learn more about VRV/VRF technology, and why you may want to incorporate it into your home cooling setup, or contact us now to get in touch with an expert.
We would not hesitate to recommend you and your company's affiliated workers. We appreciate so much that Mike and John left the job so clean during the install and also upon leaving at completion of the project.
What Do VRF and VRV Stand For?
VRV stands for "Variable Refrigerant Volume," while VRF stands for "Variable Refrigerant Flow". So what do these to designations mean? For starters, they actually mean the same thing!
VRV is term copyrighted by Daikin, one of the true industry leaders in HVAC equipment and technology. VRF refers to the same basic technology used in those systems manufactured by other companies—Fujitsu, for one, makes some great variable refrigerant flow systems.
Now that you know what the terms actually refer to, of course, you're probably wondering why you should care. After all, as far as you remember, your current HVAC system or heat pump does not claim to use such technology—and it is doing just fine. That's the point, though. We believe that you deserve more than "just fine" when it comes to your comfort!
Why Invest in VRF/VRV Technology?
Let's consider how it is that a typical split central air conditioner operates in order to cool a home. Refrigerant is evaporated in the indoor evaporator coil, and that allows it to draw heat out of the air passing through it. The hot refrigerant then goes outside, where it is compressed and its heat is released. Meanwhile, your air handler goes about distributing the cooled air throughout the house.
However, most homes are not one big, open space. While ductless AC systems and zone controlled central systems are available in order to help with the challenges that uneven temperatures throughout homes create, the VRF/VRV system really takes it to the next level. These systems not only use multiple indoor units installed throughout the house, but also modulate their refrigerant flow to meet the unique needs of each specific area.


Note: Although the article following article was originally published in the Renewanation Magazine, I'm reprinting it here because Christian arts education is one of my passions. If you'd like to learn more on the subject, I'm giving a talk on the subject next month at Wellspring Presbyterian Church on January 13th at 7pm.
Renewanation is a Christian organization working to transform culture by giving children a Christian worldview. If you'd like to learn more, check out renewanation.org.
The fact that you're reading the Renewanation Magazine means you probably know that the mission of this organization is to "Secure a bright future for America and the world by instilling a Christian worldview in the hearts and minds of children." You probably also know that Renewanation's primary method of accomplishing that mission is to help children receive a full-time Christian education. We passionately desire to educate the minds and the hearts of our young people so that they, in turn, can change culture.
However, while Christian schools tend to greatly exceed their secular alternatives in academic matters, the Christian community has failed to fully embrace a complete understanding of what it means to educate the heart. For the most part, we've perceived this to simply entail moral education. Unfortunately, we understand that simply knowing right from wrong rarely succeeds in producing desirable behavior. Real change comes from inspiration and inspiration is the realm of the arts.
If Christians seriously desire to change culture, doing so will require a much greater appreciation and investment in the artistic development of our children.
How can art transform culture? The answer to this question may be answered in both ideological and practical terms. First of all, the arts may and should glorify God. Men are made in the image of God: God is the Creator and like Him, men also create. It is not a question if men create: they will and do. The apropos question is "What will we create?" Francis Schaeffer notes, "The arts…do have a place in the Christian life-they are not peripheral… The Lordship of Christ should include and interest in the arts… An artwork can be a doxology in itself" (377). Do we want to train our young people to worship God with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength? Then we must teach them how to do so with the creativity with which God endowed them.
Secondly, the arts have practical application. Francis Bacon, the celebrated scientist and devout Anglican, wrote, "Man by the fall fell at the same time from his state of innocence and from his dominion over nature. Both of these losses, however, can even in this life be in some part repaired; the former by religion and faith, the latter by the arts and sciences" (qtd. in Schaeffer 377). In short, Bacon understood what few of Christians seem to comprehend: the arts serve a pragmatic purpose for the Christian.
The arts are a valuable tool available to the Christian working to subdue all of creation to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. The television shows about which Christians disapprove were made by artists. The books on The New York Times Bestsellers List were written by artists. The music we don't want our young people to hear was made by artists. Andy Crouch, in his book "Culture Making" rightly explains that "…the only way cultures truly change is through the introduction of new cultural goods" (190). So, if Christians truly desire to change culture, ranting and raving over the latest cultural "no-no" simply won't do the trick. We need must create.
When it comes to art, Christian standards have simply been pathetically low. Although alternatives to secular art exists in certain genres (most notably music), the real goal isn't the creation of a long list of Christian alternatives. Instead, we want and the world needs Christians who create so compellingly that their good works saturate culture, becoming the standard rather than simply secondary alternatives.
Our cookie-cutter fiction, our predictable film, and homogenous music won't do the trick. To raise the bar, consider Dante's "Inferno", Handel's "Messiah", or Michelangelo's "David." This is originality; this is culture changing; this is true Christian art. Although my examples are centuries old, my point still holds: we want authentic art with lasting cultural value, not fleeting, commercial stand-ins.
How can we encourage culture changing creativity in our young people? Several methods come to mind.
Own your artistic biases. When the church imposes extra-biblical values on creative freedom by approving and rejecting certain genres or styles, we relinquish the opportunity to impact culture. Sadly, many young artists fail to reach creative maturity within the church because the church fails to value individual diversity. We present them with a false dichotomy: deny yourself or deny the church. Is it any wonder that many young artists leave the church and pursue more accepting environments? Gospel, rock, classical, and reggae music all have the capacity to honor God. Poetry, fiction, and prose may all change culture. Both abstract and realistic art have their place. In short, the Christian community must learn to protect and foster artistic freedom.
Insist on technical excellence. There is a grammar (a set of rules) to every skill but too often modern artistic training ignores those rules in the interest of "fun" and "creativity." Mature creative excellence stands firmly on the foundational knowledge of its predecessors. Christian artistic training should insist that artists master the grammar of their genre. Beware of "mushy, feel good" training that bypasses basic skill development.
Provide artistic inspiration. If your child has artistic leanings you should make it a priority to encourage those inclinations. For example, many times the arts flourish in community. Perhaps you could find or even initiate a Christian artistic community in your area. In the absence of a physical community online options are available. Beyond that, invest in books and classes. Visit museums. Attend the theatre. Enjoy a concert. Read a book with your student and discuss it. Join a book club. Don't let cost deter you: many low cost and free choices can be found. The local library is a great resource!
Consider how you can help your local Christian school or homeschool community develop a robust arts program. Unfortunately, funding issues prevent many Christian schools from investing in the wide-ranging creative capacity of its students. This problem can be remedied when parents, concerned individuals, and the Christian community as a whole begins to see the value of artistic education. Sponsor a contest. Hold a fundraiser. Provide public opportunities for creative expression. Encourage high standards. Mentor a young artist. I'm sure you can think of more ideas to foster creativity in your school!
As I close this article, I want to challenge you to consider what it would mean for culture if high-caliber artists possessing a Christian worldview became the norm. Consider how you feel when enveloped in the beauty of God's creation. Perhaps you've walked on the ocean's edge or stood in the forest, high on a majestic mountain.
God's creation fills us with joy and wonder, doesn't it? It enriches and ennobles us. We feel whole in its presence. And although man will never rival God's work, we can emulate Him. We are made in His image. We have the culture changing power to erase the ugliness of destructive, sinful art. If we invest in the creative capacity of our young people, we can fill the world with beauty and goodness.

Barcelona are the best in the world – Suarez
Barcelona striker believes that his team are still the best team in the world despite losing two games in a row. The Uruguayan admits he is still adapting to the team's style but feels fans should not be worried despite seeing the club fall to a second straight defeat.
Luis Enrique's side followed up last week's 3-1 defeat to Real Madrid with a 1-0 loss to Celta at Camp Nou on Saturday, leaving them third in the table behind Real Madrid and champions Atletico Madrid in La Liga.
But Suarez, who made his Barca debut in the Clasico loss and played in a competitive home game for the first time against Celta, feels there is little to worry about. "When ball doesn't want to go in, it doesn't go in – we had lots of chances, but just lacked luck," the former Liverpool forward told Barca TV. "They took advantage of one chance they created and won.
"We want trophies because we are best team in world. Fans should keep believing in us, the players are the first ones who want to turn this around."
The 27-year-old said he felt far more comfortable in his second start for Barca than he did in his first as he continues to adapt to the team's style of play.
Suarez continued: "At the Bernabeu I was fine for the first 45 minutes, but then tiredness became a factor. I felt a bit lost when pressing and lacked communication with my team-mates. Against Celta, however, I felt more comfortable on the pitch."

Three 5th District hopefuls raise more than $100,000 Three House hopefuls raise more than $100K Check out this story on thenewsstar.com: http://tnsne.ws/1mIBVdy
Greg Hilburn, USA TODAY Network Published 6:12 p.m. CT July 15, 2014 | Updated 10:01 p.m. CT July 15, 2014
Monroe businessman Harris Brown, "Duck Dynasty" cousin Zach Dasher and Richland Parish Dr. Ralph Abraham, all Republicans, all either have reported or said they have raised more than $100,000 to compete in the 5th Congressional District race.
Former Grant Parish District Attorney Ed Tarpley, a Republican, has secured more than $30,000, while incumbent U.S. Rep. Vance McAllister, R-Swartz, and Monroe Mayor Jamie Mayo, the only announced Democrat, said they are just beginning their fundraising efforts.
The deadline for candidates who have raised at least $5,000 during the second quarter to file their financial disclosure reports with the Federal Elections Commission was midnight Tuesday.
Though only Abraham's report was posted at FEC website late Tuesday, the others will likely be posted Wednesday.
Brown led the way with $235,150, according to documents he submitted to The News-Star. Of that total, $185,150 came from supporters while Brown invested $50,000 of his own money.
Dasher's campaign reported that he raised $174,455, all from donations.
Abraham's FEC report shows he has raised $107,723, all from donations.
Tarpley said all of his contributions are from supporters.
Libertarian Clay Grant of Boyce has not reported raising any money.
While qualifying for the Nov. 4 race is still a month away, University of Louisiana at Monroe political scientist Josh Stockley said early fundraising figures are important.
"Candidates without money cause people to question their electability and whether they're a good investment," Stockley said. "Candidates who have displayed strong totals create momentum. Other donors and voters and the press notice.
"It's still early, but it's important that everyone show they have the ability to raise money to support their candidacies. Winning a congressional race takes time and resources, including money."
Darrell Glascock, a political consultant and pollster based in Rapides Parish, said it's even more critical for candidates without name recognition — Brown, Dasher, Abraham and Tarpley — to build resources early.
"This is a 24-parish district, so if you don't have the money to tell your story through paid media throughout the district, your chances aren't good," said Glascock, who said he plans to run a 5th District poll during the last week of July.
"McAllister and Mayo already have name recognition, so it's not as important to them now, but they better get busy and raise some money by qualifying," Glascock said.
Brown is the only candidate so far to make a significant TV buy in the Monroe and Alexandria markets, the two population centers of the district.
"I think it's a good strategy for any of the unknown candidates to try to get set in the public's mind as soon as possible," Glascock said. "I expect all of those with money to go up with paid media soon."

Around the time Hollywood was celebrating the Oscars those of us in my village put together a little soire of our own that was a virtual who's who in my neighborhood. Time for Lasha's 6th birthday party. Lasha's a neighbor kid whose family is close with my host family. Since his last birthday Lasha has grown up a lot. He doesn't hide behind his mother's leg when adults talk to him and it's been months since he's wandered into our yard wearing a one-piece girl's bathing suit.
Lasha's mother shares cow milking rights with my neighbor so I see her a lot. Lasha's older sister is one of my students and we talk every day when we walk to school. "Ryan... I English you today yes?" Lasha's father Skippy is sort of the neighborhood handyman and is a fixture at all the local supras. I often hear him late at night playing a drum and singing at various supras in the neighborhood. They're good people and neighbors so I made my way there with my host family to celebrate with them.
My own sixth birthday was very different from Lasha's. I got a baseball hat and a T-shirt and none of my dad's friends drank 20 glasses of wine or toasted to me or danced on chairs. I also received a Velcro dartboard that stopped working after a few days, but my parents never locked arms and drank wine from oversized horns. I don't know what young Lasha was expecting for his birthday, but he seemed pleased with the result—a supra.
Children's birthday = supra. Funeral = supra. Weddings = supra. Christmas = supra. Pretty much any significant day results in a supra. So for Lasha's birthday he got all the locals at his house, drinking wine and toasting late into the night. While for some it might have seemed like a rerun of most the other supras in the village (same people, same food, same wine, same toasts), those in attendance seemed to enjoy themselves thoroughly.
As per the local custom, wine glasses proved much to small for the significance of the occasion and they broke out the animal horns and filled them with wine so we could toast to Lasha with the necessary respect. When Lasha blew out the candles I don't know what he wished for, but if it was to see me drink a giant horn of wine and say some kind words in his honor then his wish failed to come true. Lasha ran out of the room in the middle of my toast to play in a back room with his friend. But I made the toast anyway and drank my horn to the bottom. Then I listened to the 30 other men as they toasted to brave Lasha.
The night continued on in this fashion although I disappointed many by refusing to drink from the horn again. "Ryan, you're not drinking enough!" Really? That's too bad. My sincere apologies.
A common feature at supras in my village is the well-meaning neighbor who tries to make me feel included by rambling on in Russian to explain the toasts. At this one, a local man at the supra who knew 10 words of English insisted on translating for me even though I knew what was being said. His few English words proved inadequate. "Ryan! I... you... brother... (random Russian gibberish)... wine good...drink!" He repeated this in various forms for some time.
The men continued drinking and toasting for six hours. The women sat at a different table and laughed at them. The children kept tugging on my sleeve to have me take their photograph. Finally at 2am we called it a night and we all set off into the snow for the long walk home.


FitFlow Max has actually been really good. Perhaps one of my more memorable workouts. I've thoroughly enjoyed it, it's been a challenge and gotten my heartrate up without once being something I've dreaded. It's also been very refreshing to have a yoga sequence challenge me - as I said two weeks ago, I tend to use yoga as an active recovery rather than something to get better at, so having to really brace my core and find more strength in my body for movement and balance through less familiar poses has been really very enjoyable.
And it really has been a challenge. I consider myself to be a lower-end-intermediate yoga...practitioner, and so I felt that this intermediate yoga program would be relatively doable with a little bit of trouble. Most of the poses were actually familiar, with warriors, half-moons and standard vinyasas, but the depth of holding the poses, the transitions and the variations were where I struggled. I can do a side plank, but an elevated side plank with an extended top arm and elevated top leg that lifts and lowers is tough, then sweeping fluidly into a forearm side plank on the other side to repeat the motion is even tougher. But the satisfaction that comes with the success of that balance in motion (in the third week) is immense. Especially when the circuit is repeated 3 times on each side, giving me five more chances to prove that the first wasn't a fluke.
I also enjoyed doing yoga in the dark at 6:30 am, which isn't something I ever did before, but as I wanted to use the two 'easier' videos but didn't want to lose out on my two long rest day mornings in the week, I made the compromise of yoga first thing when I get up to look after mum, and then continuing as a normal rest day. And I rather enjoyed facing the window and watching the sun rise as I moved. It sounds cheesy, but it was really very pleasant.
I've felt my strength increase with most workouts I use, but this is the first occasion in a long time that I've felt as though I've actually grown. My confidence in motion, my balance, and my strength have all improved, and I suddenly feel like I can and should take on more challenging yoga practise.
The two instructors were also fabulous, and they have more FitFlow routines, so I find it quite likely that I'll be giving them another go - and FitFlow Max will become a frequent use. I'm already looking at some of their other collaborations, and I'm also looking at Briohny's own Vinyasa FitFlow.


When I work with a team, not every member has the same options I have or vice versa. For years I have used Photoshop to generate videos out of a set of image sequence.
The other day I was training a friend exporting video from Blender and to avoid losing or corrupting a video file because of a system failure, yes… sorry to burst your bubble, but Mac do crash and freeze, so I recommend, and always do, to render Blender animations as image sequence, if something happens, you can start from where it stopped, then turn the images back to video on Photoshop. But my friend does not have Photoshop and he already exhausted his trial period.
I looked into iMovie, which do not have a quick image sequence to video option, or at least that I know of, if you do, please comment. Neither I know if Gimp2 has an option for it. But I did find out that Blender do the trick as well. Pretty versatile fellow.
So here, I will show how to convert image sequences to video utilizing both options. From the most expensive tool to the less inexpensive (FREE) too.

Went there for my mother's birthday, great food, great service, thoroughly recommend this restaurant.
Lovely food and they couldn't be more helpful. Will visit again.
Great food and service but the restaurant can be very noisy so if you want quiet romantic meal this may not be the one. We had to move tables half way through our meal as the guy on the next table was set on telling the whole of Fareham is business and we just could not have a conversation but staff were very good and found us a table as far away as possible.
The service and quality of food was exceptional. Having lived in the area for 20 years and walking past Basmati 2 or 3 times a week, how have we never discovered this little gem earlier? We'll definitely be returning, and given that every table was full, we'll be using Quandoo to make sure we get a seat.
Friendly service at the right pace. Young waiter struggled understanding my friends accent but was good humoured, and happy to be corrected. Food was really tasty, accurate chilli/spice heat ratings on menu, and served at good temperature i.e.. was hot. Mains portion size fine for smaller appetites but larger/ hungrier guests may need a starter or extra sides . Dessert was a bit disappointing.
nice meal. very good value (we used meerkat meals although full menu prices are reasonable anyway) lovely big chunks of fresh chicken in our curries. my rogan josh could have been a little spicier for my taste but my friends was 2chillis on the menu and that was too hot for me. we enjoyed our meal and will be back.
I've been going here for a few year's now, and I have to say, it continues to be fantastic. So good, that a friend and I would like to visit once a month. We enjoyed it that much. Thank you for your lovely food and great service.
This is our second time visiting this restaurant, the service was great, food was amazing, really enjoyed it, we will definitely be visiting again. We left a tip as we were very happy with our service and food was delicious.


An ITX case for liquid-cooling enthusiasts.
This is a nice design but I would make a couple of changes. I would make it marginally wider to allow for 180mm fans and slightly taller to allow for a couple of fans up top but I think it could be modded to allow for that in any event.

Most Sacred Place?
Jul 28 • 5 Comments
Family and home.
"I don't care what they do in their private life… as long as they can get the job done." A lot of people today see no problem in disconnecting their private life from their public one. But it disturbs many Christians. Rightly so. Yet believers might be contributing to this dilemma. Beginning in the nineteenth century, some Christians began to consider the family and home "the most sacred place." What's wrong with that?
The idea of the nuclear family as a residential unit was largely non-existent before the sixteenth century, according to McGill University architecture professor Witold Rybczynski. A private home was a luxury few could afford. Most families squatted in the squalor of emerging cities or eked out a living as farmers and tradespeople. Children were often sent away at a young age to live and work with others or they stayed and contributed to the workforce along with unrelated servants or apprentices.1 In this agricultural age, homes were the building blocks of society, a nation's economic engine. But the rise of science, technology and the nineteenth century Industrial Revolution would change all that.
The biggest change churning out of the Industrial Revolution was women staying home while men went to work in dark and dangerous factories. The English poet William Blake (1757-1828) captured this convulsion in his famous poem, "The New Jerusalem." It's an ode to "England's pleasant pastures" being blackened by the soot spewing from "these dark Satanic Mills." Bring me my charriot of fire! wrote Blake, calling Christians to build the New Jerusalem on "England's green and pleasant land" – not in the cities.
In this new world, the home became a sanctuary rather than a building block. "From the 1830s on, moral reformers argued that the family home was a key to a Christian life. In a crass and stormy world, fathers would carry out the grubby business of earning money, and mothers would make the home a refuge where the family could pray and grow spiritually," writes Alexander von Hoffman, an historian and specialist in housing and urban affairs as well as a senior research fellow at the Joint Center for Housing Studies since 1997.2 It was during the Industrial Revolution for example that men began to describe their work as a "job" – an old English word for "criminal activity."3
Many American churches piggybacked on this peculiar view of dividing home from work. Sociologist Robert Bellah calls it "the cult of domesticity" that sprang up as Christians considered their home a "sacred place" while work was something that men put up with.4 This made religion a significantly privatized experience writes Bellah.5 Home became "a haven in a heartless world" as nineteenth-century reformers thought that urban boarding houses and apartment buildings lacked the sort of privacy and purity needed to raise children well. In this setting, Christians carved out a private life disconnected from the public one.
"The prospect of possessing one's own house," wrote George B. Emerson in 1871, "and that a pleasant one, with a garden and trees, and room for the children to play, in safety, must be a strong motive with any man to regularity, good conduct, and economy."6 Emerson (1797-1881) was the first principal of the first English High School in the United States and a distant cousin of Ralph Waldo Emerson. He believed that the home was "the most sacred place for man and for woman, and especially for children" because it developed the Victorian virtues of "truthfulness, industry, order, frugality, reverence, purity, and self-control." The home became more sacred than other places except church.
This doesn't have to be the end of the story. In the ancient Judeo-Christian faith, home and family matter but they're not the most sacred place. Scripture talks about patterns more than places. "These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up" (Deut. 6:4-7). A walk characterizes the sacred, not four walls. Designating our homes and churches as havens in a heartless world overlooks the reality that God is everywhere. Every place can be sacred.
The good news is that over the last forty years Christians have highlighted the sacredness of marriage and the home. Why not highlight the sacredness of what most people do for most of their waking hours – work? Why not start small groups specifically for people in the workplace, such as educators, artists, investors, and business professionals? Until Christians recognize that every place can be a "sacred place," we're furthering the disconnect between the private and public life. Then when friends say they don't care what others do in their private life, we'll have no one to blame but ourselves.

John Wynn says:
Kudos once again, Mr. Metzger.
Our pastor used the identical passage in Deuteronomy 6 to drive home the point of Dad's prioritizing or balancing life between home and work. Relating with their spouses. Being a father to their kids and taking out the trash.
Work and home life and juggling service to the church all need to be balanced if we're to succeed as believers and have a positive influence on a skeptical, delusional world.
Unfortunately, work has become the sacristy of some men and home, well, as a resting place. I agree in principle any venture we walk into with family or career should be viewed as sacred as it is the Triune God we're serving…right?
Mike Metzger says:
Yes indeed, John. Of course, Martin Luther said that there are two ventures we can walk into that will never be sacred – banking and prostitution. I think he was wrong on one and right on the other (I'll leave it to you to figure out which is which). I'd also urge to turn the dial a bit on "balance." David Gruesel said it better a few weeks back on this blog – balance is a myth. The scriptures speak of tensions. The tension, for example, between pursuing a calling in the wider world and being a good father. I like tensions because they affirm two equally good yet competing virtues.
David Wayne says:
Thanks for this Mike – you never fail to examine, and often turn on it's head, conventional wisdom.
"…balance is a myth. The scriptures speak of tensions. The tension, for example, between pursuing a calling in the wider world and being a good father. I like tensions because they affirm two equally good yet competing virtues."
I can relate to "tension". Desiring to be part of my family life I have forsaken opportunities to increase income and prominence in my line of work. Although I truly believe I've chosen the correct path or virtue, something gnaws at me telling me I should do better in the eyes of the world.
It's not easy watching others surpass me with regard to economic and material status, BUT, I do answer to a higher authority and I also believe "being there" will present huge benefits to my youngsters as they grow in their own faith.
Bringing Sunday into Monday and through the following Sunday is a huge challenge. I appreciate your work.
John A. Van Devender says:
The Christian/Reformed/Lutheran view of vocation is built upon a Kingdom perspective growing right out of Gen. 1. Paul did not see his work as a leather-worker as his vocation, but rather as a means of supporting it. We need to be careful about encouraging folks to see their "work place" as a holy place until we have revisited the notion of "vocation" or "kingdom calling" and let that define and delimit the points your make.
Further your analysis of historical trends seemed to point in a different direction than you finally took and was a bit confusing to me. The fundamental concept of each man having his own vine to sit under is fundamental to the Hebrew idea of Shalom. Ecclesiastes is redolent with the encouragement to each man to enjoy the fruit of his labors. It is very much a part of the Biblical teaching that the solid sanctuary of what is now the Christian "home" was foundational to the individual (man) being free to sit at the gates as an elder.
I would recommend Richard Weaver and his views of property along with Chesterton as a balance to some of the things you express here.
Thanks for a thought provoking work.

Mardi Gras Celebrations Beyond New Orleans!
Posted on the 16 February 2015 by Jamie Gall @50states50wines
New Orleans, the place to be every Mardi Gras, and celebrations have already been happening throughout this iconic city, but, for those of us that might not be able to get there, a few other cities that go all out for Mardi Gras:
San Diego:
For those of us in California, the easiest trek is heading down to San Diego where the Fat Tuesday celebrations are gaining in popularity as the Gaslamp Quarter is overtaken by festivities from 5pm to Midnight on Tuesday, February 17th. 40 Dollars General Admission at the Door. VIP Tickets: 120 Dollars at the Door.
Entertainment of over 20 performers are taking place this Tuesday night including a DJ set by Snoopadelic! And of course, it's not Fat Tuesday without a parade to boot… as they like to introduce it: The Gaslamp Quarter Mardi Gras parade is back! At the top of 5th Avenue and E Street the Mardi Gras parade begins to erupt in sound and visual splendor lead by multiple music groups, roving performers, the Grand Marshall and extravagant floats that will consist of over a hundred people. The parade will roll at 9:00 PM to hype up the crowd for the floats and to tie in a traditional New Orleans parade performance staple.
Galveston Island, Texas:
Everything's bigger in Texas, and of course, no surprise that there's a fun Mardi Gras celebration happening there, as well.
Celebrations began Feburary 6th and will continue throughout Tuesday evening with entertainment, parades, and over 3 Million Beads being tossed out.

Tuesday Night Parade: 6:30pm: Mystic Krewe of Aquarius 19th Annual Fat Tuesday
One of the island's most popular parades. In the final hours of Mardi Gras this special event will feature the 10 lighted Aquarius floats plus entries from Knights of Momus, Krewe of Gambrinus, Krewe Babalu, Z Krewe, Krewe of Thalasar. Lighthouse Krewe and many others.
The parade will also feature 8 marching bands. Come and enjoy this great event.
Lake Charles, Louisiana:
New Orleans isn't the only part of Louisiana that goes all out for Mardi Gras. Welcome to Lake Charles!

The Lake Charles Mardi Gras celebration is unique in that it is the only place in Louisiana where the public is invited to see the costumes of the all the krewes in one place, at the Lake Charles Civic Center. Lake Charles is also home to The Imperial Calcasieu Museum, the largest Mardi Gras museum in the United States, which tells the global history of the celebration, along with the best recipes for King Cake and showcases 1,000 costumes. Mardi Gras runs until February 17th in Lake Charles and regularly draws 150,000 people. ~Hotels.Com
The best part of this area is the genuine feel that comes with it, and an entire day dedicated just for children and families which was today (Sunday, February 15.) It's been so fun following the photos today.
Mobile, Alabama:
Widely recognized as the birthplace of Mardi Gras in the United States, the bonne temps have been rolling in Mobile since 1703. These authentic celebrations revolve around mystic societies and exciting private social organizations. Today, nearly four dozen parades in less than two weeks celebrate that legacy. The events in Mobile began on February 1st and will continue until February 17th. ~Hotels.Com
Pensacola, Florida:
The annual Pensacola celebration is among the oldest in the United States, dating back to 1874. Parades are on the evening of February 13th ("Krewe of Lafitte"), February 14th in the afternoon (the " Pensacola Grand Mardi Gras Parade "), and on Sunday the 15th ("Krewe of Wrecks") on Pensacola Beach.
The parade has over 6,000 people participating in the parade and over 100,000 watching it happen.
St. Louis, Missouri:
And for your Midwesterners, have no fear, make the trek down to St. Louis for weeks of Mardi Gras festivities.
Celebrating 250 years since the French founded this city just upriver from N'awlins, St. Louis is home to the second biggest celebration in the United States. The Soulard district is ground zero for more than a month of activities, including a Taste of Soulard restaurant crawl on Feb. 7th and 8th. Pet parades on Feb. 8th crown the family friendly events and transmit the enthusiasm of this celebration to the new generation.
Mike Mike Mike, it's Mardi Gras Season! #FamilyWinterCarnival #Stlmg

The celebration begins on Feb. 7 and goes until the 17th. The event sometimes attracts hundreds of thousands of revelers. Previous years saw crowds of 200,000–250,000 attendees.
After writing this, it only makes me realize how much I want to be partaking this Tuesday night. Do you have any Fat Tuesday traditions? Have you been to a Mardi Gras celebration before? Share below.

Lewis Hamilton insists a busy fortnight off the track, in which he revealed his first fashion line, has not distracted him from his ultimate goal on it - sealing the 2018 F1 championship.
Hamilton arrives for the Singapore GP with a 30-point advantage over Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel but has had a hectic schedule since claiming the last race in Italy; collaborating with renowned designer Tommy Hilfiger in Shanghai, and then New York, for the launch of his debut clothing range.
It has been an experience an ever-energetic Hamilton has relished, but he still claims this weekend's race and the title battle has been at the forefront of his mind.
"There's not been a single moment over these two weeks that I'm not thinking about racing, that I'm not thinking about the championship and how I want to arrive - knowing that you're coming into a difficult race that you want to try and bring more to," the Mercedes driver said.
When asked if the travelling was a 'gamble' and an unwelcome distraction from racing, Hamilton retorted: "Not at all. I get a lot of energy from doing these different things. I find it stimulating."
There are only seven races remaining in the 2018 season, though Toto Wolff has already admitted that the narrow Marina Bay street circuit should favour Ferrari's package more than Mercedes.
But Hamilton said: "I feel optimistic coming into this weekend. I'm really hopeful that we can still fight with them."
Hamilton has won three of the last four races despite Ferrari's recent surge and is adamant he won't change his approach despite his big championship lead.
"It's not a factor," he stated. "We do expect there's going to be some difficult races up ahead. Ferrari have been ahead of us the last few races so keeping up with them, if not passing them, is going to be tough."
The Englishman added to Sky F1's Ted Kravitz: "It's definitely looking better, but there's still so many points available so we can't change a single thing. We've got to apply the pressure.
"They have been quicker these last races and we've managed to overhaul them through strategy or by doing an overall better job. So we've got to keep doing what we're doing and applying that pressure because at the moment it's working."
It's not often Hamilton has a chance to talk about one of his passions away from the track on an F1 media day, but he was evidently excited about his fashion getaway.
Hamilton launched his collection on the catwalk in Shanghai, before then revealing it at New York Fashion Week.
"It's just very surreal watching people wear your own clothes," Hamilton told Sky F1. "It's been an incredible learning experience that I've really enjoyed doing."
The Englishman even claimed he got as big a "buzz" from the events as he gets from the starting grid of an F1 race.
"It was very much the same, as if I was on the starting line," he added. "When they were just standing right on the edge of the doorway, I had the same nerves as I do when I'm on the grid and about to start the race.
"It was kind of crazy, I was not expecting it!
"I wanted it to be perfect, to have the best impact and for people to like it."

I need to see (as with eyes) about 1-second worth of audio sampled at 8KHz (16-bit PCM if that matters). The object is a single 1-second frame, with distinguishable boundary characteristics. There are multiple frames, all a bit different, it's fine if I can see a randomly (approximately) chosen one.
I was wondering can I use Rigol to capture the analog audio and 'see' it.
- triggering - manual is OK, but then I'd need 2-3 seconds worth of samples to spot a full frame.
Why don't you just use the freeware Audacity software?
Also, I imagine there are far better audio analysis tools for a PC using the soundcard than a regular oscilloscope.
I'm using Audacity for other stuff - it may work here, but the problem is getting the signal in - it's far easier with scope than computer.
To clarify - this all happens on embedded platform, not on a computer: I can get debug output and analog out, but I can't run arbitrary software on it (like Audacity). I would have to put some kind of audio pre-amp in-between.
Can you bash the embedded code to output a sync signal and use it to trigger the scope in one-shot mode?
Good point - I could create a filter on the computer that receives the debug output, then say NOW, on the computer. But I have no means of I communicating "NOW" from the computer to Rigol. The setup is very limited as it is now.
It's worth remembering that you are going to be feeding the audio into an 8 bit resolution scope.

It's 1929, and a German doctor named Friedrich Ritter and his lover, Dore Strauch, have set sail for Floreana, an uninhabited island that is part of the Galapagos archipelago, hundreds of miles from the coast Ecuador. Hitler is rising, war is only a decade away, and Ritter and Strauch are finished with modern society, and on Floreana they hope to found a kind of paradise free of the sicknesses of civilization. But their dream of paradise is short-lived. News of their strange move makes it back to the Continent, and soon they are joined by Heinz and Margret Wittmer (also German) and their children, and later by an eccentric woman named Eloise von Wagner, who calls herself The Baroness, who's accompanied by her two gigolos. The anti-social doctor and his girlfriend—who is stricken with multiple sclerosis—aren't exactly happy about the unexpected social activity on their isolated island paradise. Soon, there will be mysterious disappearances and deaths, and possibly even a few murders.
If the plot I just described entices you, then check out The Galapagos Affair, a thrilling new documentary that's currently streaming on Netflix. The film is strung together with narrations of the writings of Ritter, Strauch, the Wittmers, and others, and also features interviews with current residents of the Galapagos Islands. It's a tad long, and some of the interviews are a bit confusing (and needless), but the story of these seven eccentrics is absolutely delicious, and the film sizzles with juicy speculation. (There's also lots of actual footage of the islands now and then, including moving images recorded by the inhabitants themselves.) Among others, narration is provided by Cate Blanchett, Diane Kruger, Sebastian Koch, and Connie Nielson. Directed by Daniel Geller and Dayna Goldfine.

The prevailing harvest method inBrazil: The berries are stripped from the branch. Then, these are laid out to dry for 3 to 5 weeks.
For this, the 10-finger system is relied upon. The coffee berries are individually picked by hand – bright red ripeness, undamaged berries guarantee quality.
As coffee berries are perishable, they need to be processed quickly after the harvest. First, both coffee beans, which are contained in each coffee berry, need to be separated from the fruit flesh. Then, the beans are washed, dried and then sorted according to quality and size.

Yale New Haven standardizes its revenue cycle, positions for growth
May 25, 2016 Optum
Yale New Haven Health System, New Haven, Conn., recently found itself in an enviable position. Over the course of 18 months, its physician organization doubled in size to more than 600 physicians and 64 separate practices.
But rapid growth came with challenges. New physicians and other employees came with separate systems, workflows and processes. The system was in danger of wasting resources if every practice operated "business as usual."
Yale New Haven leaders wanted to standardize their operations and streamline their revenue cycle. This would not only help them eliminate waste and capture accurate revenue, but it would also help them create a foundation for continued growth, as they expanded their footprint from New York across southern Connecticut to Rhode Island.
The health system turned to MedSynergies, an Optum company specializing in physician/hospital alignment, to provide them with an impartial perspective. The resulting strategic performance and opportunity assessment helped Yale New Haven understand the costs associated with multiple and separate financial and clinical operations. And they identified key metrics that would help the health system monitor their performance goals.
The assessment showed Yale New Haven all the resources, processes and workflows that existed within their organization, and explained how each of these elements affected financial performance.
"The assessment process was instrumental in bringing a number of issues to the forefront," said Christopher O'Connor, Yale New Haven's chief operating officer. "The dialogue and decision-making that this process inspired has been a tremendous asset to our organization."
The assessment identified opportunities to help Yale New Haven continue its growth, including:
Standardizing business processes, resources and technology across its community practices,
Close to $15 million in revenue cycle, payments, accounts receivable and denials savings opportunities, and
A potential for up to $4 million in patient market share growth.
As systems across the nation seek to improve quality of care while reducing costs and ambulatory growth, these improvements could have an immediate and positive impact on Yale New Haven's bottom line. For further details on Yale New Haven's financial standardization, download the case study.
