Heinz Stefan Herzka (geboren am 1. Februar 1935 in Wien; gestorben am 14. Februar 2021) war ein Schweizer Kinderarzt, Kinderpsychiater und Professor an der Universität Zürich.

Leben
Herzka wurde 1935 als Sohn der Psychologin Else Freistadt Herzka († 1953) und des Buchhalters Hans Herzka in Wien geboren. 1938 emigrierte die Familie in die Schweiz, wo Herzka in Amden, Genf und Zürich aufwuchs. Von 1954 bis 1961 studierte er in Zürich und Basel Medizin. Sein Studium schloss er 1961 mit dem medizinischen Staatsexamen und einer Dissertation ab. 1960 heiratete Herzka Irène Langsam, aus deren Ehe er drei Kinder hatte. Nach der Trennung 1979 heiratete er 2000 Verena Nil. In seiner weiteren medizinischen Laufbahn war er von 1962 bis 1967 Assistenzarzt in Leiden (NL) und Sheffield (GB) und machte eine Ausbildung zum Kinderarzt FMH (1965), Kinder- und Jugendpsychiater und Psychotherapeut in Aarau und Zürich. 1968 wurde er Oberarzt der psychiatrischen Universitätspoliklinik für Kinder und Jugendliche in Zürich. 1969 habilitierte sich Herzka als Privatdozent für Kinder- und Jugendpsychiatrie an der medizinischen Fakultät der Universität Zürich zum Thema Psychopathologie des Kindes- und Jugendalters. Von 1971 bis 1985 war er leitender Arzt der Zweig- und Regionalstellen des Kinder- und Jugendpsychiatrischen Dienstes des Kantons Zürich. Ab 1975 leitete er seine eigens gegründete Tagesklinik, die er ab 1974 geplant und aufgebaut hatte, und trat erst 1998 als leitender Arzt zurück. Ab 1980 unternahm Herzka jährlich weltweite Reisen im Zusammenhang mit dem eigenen Projekt "Schalmeien der Welt". Das Ehepaar Herzka Nil begründete mit der Schenkung ihrer Sammlung von Musikinstrumenten und Kulturobjekten an das Museum MúSIC musée des instruments et des cultures du monde im französischen Céret, die international grösste Sammlung traditioneller Schalmeiinstrumente. Ab seiner Emeritierung 2001 war Herzka Supervisor für Kinderpsychotherapie in Zürich und übte diverse Lehrtätigkeiten an Fachhochschulen sowie Öffentlichkeitsarbeit aus.

Herzkas Vorlass wurde 2007 von ihm persönlich dem Archiv für Zeitgeschichte übergeben und enthält vor allem Fotos, Familienfilme und Lehrmaterialien. Ein Grossteil des Bestandes betrifft seine Öffentlichkeitsarbeit: Publikationen, Beiträge in Büchern und Radio- und Fernsehsendungen. Der Nachlass seiner Eltern Else und Hans Freistadt-Herzka befindet sich ebenfalls im Archiv für Zeitgeschichte. Die Instrumente und andere Gegenstände der Schalmeien-Sammlung sind im "Centre International de Musique Populaire" (CIMP) in Céret archiviert.

Herzka starb im Februar 2021 im Alter von 86 Jahren.

Funky Feet School of Dance
NEW STUDENT INFO
LIMBERING
The Funky Feet School of dance and performing arts offers the best training for all ages and abilities whether you are looking just to have fun or to be a professional performer.
Vicky Codling took over the school in 2009 from Joan Gisborne when she emigrated to Australia to be with her family.
The school has gone from strength to strength, we now offer classes in a wide range of subjects for children from the age of 2.5 right up to adults.
Our recent addition of drama to complete our full range of performing arts, recognising the importance of having a wide range of performing arts skills to succeed in the professional business.
The children have opportunities to take exams in the ISTD syllabus and the school also puts on shows that the whole school can take part in.
We run a competition team, which the children are selected to be involved in. All the children are given lots of opportunities to perform at various events through the year including the local pantomime.
Vicky Codling
Vicky fell in love with dance and theatre at a very young age. Her first performance was at the age of 5, when she performed with her class in the dancing school show.
Vicky's first professional engagement was at the age of 7, when she performed at Norwich Theatre Royal with Wayne Sleep in the Pantomime Aladdin.
Vicky continued her training at the Central School of Dance and Performing Arts, which opened many performance opportunities and she was lucky enough to work with some of the best in the profession as she was growing up.
At the age of 16 Vicky started her work as a professional dancer, most of which was based out of Norfolk.
When she was 18, Vicky left Norfolk to perform around England, working for British Holidays. She worked her way up, finishing her last two seasons as Entertainment Manager at the parks where she worked.
In 2005 Vicky came back to Norfolk to complete her teacher training. She then took on the Joan Gisborne School of Dance and Performing Arts. In 2010 the School was renamed "Funky Feet School of Dance and Performing Arts". It has gone from strength to strength, incorporating several new subjects, and has gained a fabulous reputation in the local and surrounding community. The school now has its own competition team that compete around Norfolk and Suffolk. It is well rewarded for its charity work in the local community.
Vicky has a young family herself, and her two girls are following in mummies footsteps, both dancing and performing at the same school where Vicky began her training.
In 2019 Vicky realised a life ambition and staged 'Annie' the musical, taking on the role of choreographer whilst co-directing and producing.
2020 sees the start of Vicky's latest venture, a new company that will run alongside the dancing school. This company will put on performances to raise money to fund arts projects in the local community. Vicky is hoping to open the doors of the dancing school during the day, to house performing arts days for local schools, mostly funded by the new company. She is also hoping to put performances on within schools, tackling tricky subjects like bullying and mental health. All of this is very much in the making, but she is very excited about the planning and launching of her new company to keep the arts alive.

Home Features INTERVIEW – Ryders Creed
Off Yer Rocka
INTERVIEW – Ryders Creed
Anne Estella
Ryders Creed by Shannon Landers Photography
HRH Mag met up with 2017 HRH Highway To Hell winners and Off Yer Rocka artists
Ryders Creed during their recent 'top secret' visit to Manchester to discuss their upcoming RPM Takeover tour, their plans for the rest of the year, fashion, escaping the asylum, and the time they didn't meet Nikki Sixx!
Let's start by talking about your latest single 'My Life' and the release of your third music video, which was directed by your frontman, Ryan. What is the song about and how did you come up with the idea for the video? Will Ryan be directing all of the band's videos from now on?
[Lee S.] No, he won't! Hahaha!
[Ryan] The song when I initially wrote it was about focusing on the negative aspects of my life so far and moving out of that and into a positive light really, so it's about making a stand and making a choice. "My choice, my life – I'm going to bring myself out of this negative situation and turn it into a positive one". There's a lot to do with inner battles of the mind as well, and when we came to do the music video we decided that it would be really cool to portray that on screen by way of escaping a mental asylum – escaping the demons, the doubts, the guilt and all the stuff that's going to try and drag you back in. So it's really just about discovering yourself and overcoming your inner demons.
With regards to directing our future videos, our videos are very much about all of us – we're all a part of them and every one of us has input, so all of our ideas go into the pot. The reason I directed this one is because when it came to the Director's Cut and the narrative version of it, I had specific actors and a storyline in mind and the lads were decent enough to let me flow with that, which was really, really cool and it was a fantastic experience. But our future videos will very much be all five of us putting in our individual ideas and getting it done. The next one could be directed by all of us together, or I could take the lead on it, it doesn't really matter who does it as long as the ideas that all of us come up with as a band get put across and in a way that we're all happy with.
All of the band members featured in the 'My Life' video – was it fun to make and were they easy to direct?
[Lee S.] I hated it! Hated every minute of it!
[Ryan] It unfortunately was a very, very cold day…
[Lee S.] First of all, it was my Birthday and I really hate the cold, I can't stand it. I was cold and hungry and it was my Birthday and it was all about him because he was the Director! So I had a horrible time!
[Ryan] It was alright at the church!
[Lee S.] Yeah, because it was a little less freezing in there!
The Directors Cut lasts nine and a half minutes – how long did filming take?
[Ryan] Filming took place over three almost consecutive weekends. We did a Saturday and a Sunday and then we revisited on the Sunday a couple of weeks later and then the editing process took an entire weekend as well. We went through it with Tommy, who films and edits all of our music videos – he's absolutely brilliant. Previously he actually took on the role of directing as well – we basically told him what we wanted and he directed our last two videos for 'Raise The Hoof' and 'Headspace'.
We have very strong ideas when it comes to our videos and we like doing things cinematically, always putting a narrative element to all of our stuff. It is extremely fun and we all thoroughly enjoy it. It is very strenuous though and we do metaphorically bleed for our work, so it can take it out of us a lot. With the 'Raise The Hoof' video for example we all got injured – I don't think there was a single member of the band that didn't get hurt.
[Lee S.] 'Raise The Hoof' was my favourite video!
[Lee G.] After filming 'Raise The Hoof' I had to play at HRH Ibiza last year with a bruised rib! And I put my hand through a window filming the 'My Life' video!
Ryders Creed / Anne Estella by Shannon Landers Photography
You released your eponymous debut album in 2018 – are you planning on releasing any new records this year?
[Lee S.] No albums this year. We do plan on going into the studio to record a new album this year though, which we hope to release sometime next year. The first album was released on 1st June 2018 so we'd like as close to a two-year gap if possible. We've got plenty of really strong ideas knocking about and we're just moving forward towards the end of the year when hopefully we'll get into the studio, record our second album and then put a release plan in place and push it out. It's not absolutely set in stone yet, but that's the plan and so far it's going well.
You announced on social media recently that you had some HUGE news coming soon – can you give us any clues as to what that might be and what 'top secret behind-the-scenes' stuff you're doing in Manchester during your stay here?
[Ryan] Unfortunately we can't say… but what we can tell you is that it's extremely cool!
[Lee S.] It could potentially make TV history as well!
[Ryan] We've been told that this is the first time this has ever happened – the thing we're doing has never been done before! We have no idea when we're going to be able to tell people what we're doing, but it's very interesting and it's going to be happening tomorrow in Manchester!
Ryan – as well as being a musician and an actor, you also have your own clothing line. Can you tell us about that? Do you design all of Ryders Creed's merchandise and artwork as well?
[Ryan] What we do as a band is done as a full band, so when it came to the artwork for the album, we had our ideas that we wanted to put forward for a potential album cover, and then my Missus Lily designed what we asked her for. The artwork on our band T-shirts was done by Lily based on all of our creative ideas but the logo itself was actually designed by Myles' brother. So the Ryders Creed logo and the album artwork combined our creative input, but was actually designed for us by people who could do it better than we could. Myles' brother has also just designed our new merch line for 'My Life', which is coming out very soon!
[Lee S.] Pre-orders for the 'My Life' merch are being taken now!
[Ryan] It looks absolutely fantastic and we can't wait to get that out to everybody! As for my own clothing line – I wanted to keep it completely separate from the band. My range, Ryan Antony Design Clothing, is basically the clothes I want to wear, and because I can't find them anywhere, I'll make them and put them out myself, and a lot of people seem to be liking them! At the moment we've just got T-shirts but I've got plans for hoodies, jackets and jumpers and then further down the line I imagine that I'll be moving more towards things like jeans and actual shirts, maybe denim cuts, but predominantly stage-wear.
Lee, you're pretty tall – at 6'3", has your height ever caused any issues for you whilst performing on stage?
[Lee S.] Actually there are two incidents that spring to mind… One was at Thekla in Bristol – it wasn't on stage where I had the issue, it was walking down the corridor to our dressing room – I literally had to walk at a ninety degree angle! The other one was at a venue I've played at a few times with previous bands as well as with Ryders Creed, where the ceiling is very low and at the side of the stage is a great big fan – so with the low ceiling and the large air conditioning unit, I'm having to perform at a ninety degree angle too! I like to move about and jump around as much as I can, so when the ceilings are really low it does limit that quite a bit. I have to put my JCB hard hat on! It doesn't happen often but there is the odd stage or venue that I look at and think, "yeah, this is gonna suck…"
Years ago, before Ryders Creed, I played at what was The Carling Academy in Birmingham and I stood on the barrier in front of where the photographers go and the lighting rig came down really low. I was headbanging away and doing my thing and my hair got tangled in the house lights and I had to rip a good chunk of my own hair out!
You're just about to go out on the RPM (Rock People Management) Takeover Tour with The Rocket Dolls and EMPYRE – what are your favourite songs by those two bands? And is there any friendly competition or rivalry between you?
[Lee S.] No, there's definitely no rivalry.
[Ryan] We know the EMPYRE lads and Lee actually used to play with their former drummer Jack at University. The first time we met EMPYRE was at Breaking Bands Festival and the first they saw of us was Lee running into me with a massive crash mat and knocking me flying! We checked them out, knowing they were on the same label as us and we were going to go on tour with them and listened to a few of their songs, but we haven't checked out everything they've done because ultimately we want to wait until we see them perform live with us and then we can decide what our favourite songs of theirs are and really get to know their material. With Nikki Sixx…
[Lee S.] Nikki Sixx?!! When did we meet Nikki Sixx??!
[Ryan] Not Nikki Sixx… Nikki Smash! I'm sure he did that deliberately, haha! Yeah, with Nikki from The Rocket Dolls and the other guys – we met them properly when we played with them at The Asylum a couple of weeks ago and they're genuinely sound. We absolutely love those guys! They're really nice geezers.
[Lee S.] The reason why it's quite hard for us to answer this question is because we kind of hit the ground running and haven't even been together for two years yet as a band. Everything's been so quick and we've met so many other bands – when you've got that much music coming towards you it's hard to remember song names and even band names. We listen to these bands and we like them, but it's difficult for us to pick favourite songs because it's all been so fast-paced for us.
You've been announced for this summer's Ramblin' Man Fair – will this be your first time playing there?
[Ryan] Yes – first time attending and first time playing for all of us! Can't wait for it, that's a really big one! We'll be playing the Rising Stage and to be invited by the Ramblin' Man team to play was really awesome, because we were going to enter a competition to hopefully win a slot there, so to find out a couple of days before our competition heat that we'd been invited to play was a huge bonus! It was a massive confidence boost.
What other festivals have you got lined up for this year and which ones are you most excited for?
[Ryan] We're excited for all of them really. We're doing things a fair bit bigger than we have done previously.
[Lee S.] Steelhouse and Ramblin' Man are what I'm most looking forward to.
[Ryan] Steelhouse and Ramblin' Man are two biggies. We're also playing the main stage at Amplified Festival.
Having appeared at HRH Road Trip to Ibiza last year you unfortunately had to pull out of it this year – what was the reason for that?
[Lee S.] It was very last minute and for a moment we thought we'd be able to do it. It's due to personal issues and we'd like to apologise to the public for pulling out. A few of us have our own things going on during the time that HRH Ibiza is happening and it's just too much for us to take on at the moment.
As a touring band you spend a lot of time in each other's company… What are the best and worst characteristics of each of your bandmates?
[Lee G.] We're all family.
[Lee S.] Yeah, but even families have arguments!
[Ryan] Why don't we just pick apart all my faults?! The issue with Ryders Creed is me!
[Lee G.] The best game we play is 'Peg a peg on Ryan' – without him knowing!
[Ryan] That's very true actually – I've gone through a couple of embarrassing situations not having any idea that I've got pegs on my back!
[Myles] The worst thing about Lee S. is pissing on my clothes!
[Lee S.] And the best thing??
[Myles] Not pissing on my clothes!
[Lee S.] I've got some answers for these questions, and I'm going to speak honestly! Lee – I think the worst thing about you mate is…
{Lee G.] Go on!
[Lee S.] What do you think I'm going to say?
[Lee G.] That I'm ginger!
[Lee S.] I wasn't going to say that actually! The worst thing is sometimes I'll put a song idea across and you'll go, "Er, is it drawing away from Ryders Creed?" And my answer to that is, "Open your fucking mind and think outside the box mate!" However, the best thing I can say for you is you've always been very supportive and you work your arse off for this band. You do a lot of driving and a lot of the admin work as well and when it comes to demos and making sure everything's up to scratch, you're always by my side, making sure I can get through it as well.
Ryan – I've got a whole long list of negative things for you sunshine! I've got a long list of good things as well, but I'll pick two things. You talk way too fucking much mate! In some instances that's great, because sometimes in interviews you can take the lead and chat and chat and chat and we can do fuck all basically, which is great, but other times, like when I'm trying to put a song idea across or we're in rehearsal and you're talking for ages about something that I have no fucking interest in, other than the music at that moment, that's where it gets annoying.
[Ryan] Got you, that's fair. But there was no positivity there whatsoever!
[Lee S.] That was a positive and a negative in one!
[Ryan] So… positive that I can talk and negative that I can talk too much?!
[Lee S.] Okay, okay – you've got an amazing voice and I do consider you to be one of my best friends. You've been there for me since the first day we met and you've always heard me out as a human being and taken on board any of my issues – so just less talking and more listening to me!
Myles – I love your beard, but hate your guitar playing, haha! No, I actually can't think of a negative for you Myles… well you're late a lot to be fair and you always blame it on traffic. I think that's bullshit because you live down the road from me! On the positive side you're an amazing person to work alongside and I don't think I could have put half as much guitar effort in if you didn't – you inspire me as a guitar player.
Richard – I can't think of much to say about you mate to be fair… I very rarely see you at practice!
[Richard] I'm always there and I'm always playing right!
[Lee S.] Something that used to be an issue but that I've come to terms with, is the amount of times you don't turn up to practice. However, whenever you do turn up you've always got your shit down, it's lock-tight and it's absolutely bang-on. So the positive there is that you learn and write your parts very quickly – much quicker than I ever could. But it's not important that you don't turn up to practice mate, because you're just a bass player, so…
[Richard] Nobody holds a riff like Dick!
On that note we'd like to thank Ryders Creed for taking the time to chat to us and wish them all the best on their current UK tour!

So obviously the next comic isn't ready yet, and it probably isn't going to be ready for a number of months. That's because it is the length of no less than six of the "Sunday format" comics, and I don't want to publish it here until it's completely finished.
However, for those who really need to get their CK:TCS fix, I'm going to post each section that I complete to my Instagram account (which is completely blank at the moment). The first section should be ready in about a week, and if I stick to my 2-week production schedule the final version would be published here on June 27.
And for those wondering about the sketch above, it's the first Commander Keen fan art that I ever did. I published it to deviantART years ago, and it eventually lead me to decide to make the comic strip.
UPDATE: Still not done, but progress is being made. Pushed back the release date a few weeks. Sorry.
UPDATE 2: Good news! My utter disgust with my progress on this thing motivated me to crank out the finishing touches and now it'll be ready a week early! Rejoice!


Princess Jellyfish has been named one of 2016's "50 BEST BOOKS FOR TEENS" by the New York Public Library. Explaining the pick, Chantelle Uzan, an NYPL librarian, called Princess Jellyfish a "great introduction to manga, and wonderful for reluctant readers!" Her colleague Katrina Ortega added, "The characters are so unique and not characters that are commonly found in YA reading; even so, their fears and doubts and passions are all relatable, no matter your age." Here's our official press release.
Earlier this month, Princess Jellyfish had also been named as one of Amazon's Best Comics and Graphic Novels of 2016. Only 20 books made the list, out of all graphic novels published this past year, and Princess Jellyfish was one of only two manga (the other being Shigeru Mizuki's The Birth of Kitaro).
Here's our exclusive interview with Akiko Higashimura, which ran on this site in June.

Company Donated $100,000 to Cuomo Just Days Before He Signed Law Granting Them Hefty Tax Breaks
Is pay to play alive in New York State? For the record, I did not type that with a straight face. At all. That's what we in the business refer to as a 'rhetorical question.'
Via the Daily News:
A top development company donated $100,000 to Gov. Cuomo just days before he signed a bill that quietly showered the firm with lucrative tax breaks.
Two corporations tied to Extell Development each contributed $50,000 to Cuomo's campaign, which recorded the checks on Jan. 28 — the same day the Assembly passed a housing bill that contained tax breaks for five developers, including Extell, records show.
Cuomo signed the legislation two days later.
The twin $50,000 donations were made by Elco Master LLC and 134 W 58 LLC. Each listed the same Louisville, Ky., address of Extell Financial Services, which is part of Extell Development. It was the first time either company contributed to Cuomo, state records show.
Furthermore, Extell President Gary Barnett donated another $100,000 three weeks later to a state Democrat Party entity designed to push the governor's agenda. And more recently, Barnett donated another $25,000 in May to the Democratic National Committee.
Of course, it's easy to make such political donations when your company stands to get tax breaks that will cost the city of New York $35 million.

Bay & Burg
Life and politics from the Sunshine State's best city
Joe Henderson: Dan Raulerson 'certainly' not backing down after saying everyone should be armed
Published on June 20, 2017 in The Bay and the 'Burg by Joe Henderson
Dan Raulerson and I disagree on many things about policy but we always have done so amicably. I have found him to be thoughtful, principled and willing to listen to ideas other than his own.
Raulerson represents Florida House District 58, which stretches from Plant City and eastern Hillsborough County into Temple Terrace. He is not generally prone to hyperbole.
So, I was taken aback when Raulerson said that in light of the attack last week in Washington that wounded five people, including Congressman Steve Scalise, "I think each one of those congressmen should be carrying a weapon. I think we all should be carrying a weapon."
Raulerson's remarks came during a forum at the Tampa Tiger Bay Club in response to a question about how the shooting impacted Florida and the nation.
I asked him Tuesday morning if he would say the same thing now if he had it to do over again. I got a one-word answer.
Then I got a lot more words. Raulerson isn't backing down from what said because, and this is important, he honestly believes it's the right thing to do.
"Here's what I think people are misunderstanding," he said. "I'm not suggesting we all walk around with 6-shooters in holsters and shoot everybody up.
"But had (Scalise) not been on the ball field in Washington, there wouldn't have been two police officers there with guns. He was the only one with a security detail. Without those officers, it would have been a massacre. This isn't something I'm shying away from. We need to open our eyes and understand we live in a world that is vastly different from 15 years ago."
We had what I would call a respectful back-and-forth discussion. I made the point that just because someone owns a gun doesn't mean they'll be cool enough to handle it under pressure – even assuming they have taken and passed a licensed gun-safety course.
While they might have good intentions, someone in a panic could make a bad situation much worse.
"You're absolutely right," Raulerson said. "But we also can't rely on the government to protect us."
He singled out gun-free zones. He doesn't like them.
"By the time police arrive in one of those places, the carnage has been done," he said. "That has been proven time and time again."
Raulerson said that since the conversation has been jump-started by his remarks, it would be a good idea to move it forward with a public forum – maybe back at Tiger Bay. Bring in people from both sides of the issue and debate, respectfully, how best to approach guns in the future.
Guns aren't going away. While there are no reliable statistics to show how many guns are in the state, the latest report from the Florida Department of Agriculture showed there are 1.75 million concealed weapon or firearm permits.
"Absent taking guns away from everyone, I'm not sure what the answer is," Raulerson said. "But we sure do have a lot of people getting shot."

What is omni-channel marketing and why is it important?
HOW TO DEVELOP AN OMNI-CHANNEL MARKETING STRATEGY SMARTFOCUS | PAGE 2 INTRODUCTION Introduction Customers are more connected and more informed than ever. Digital marketers now need an entirely fresh perspective to succeed in a world where customers and prospects experience their brand in multiple ways – online ads, websites, the mobile web and apps, blogs, email, social media, the call centre, web chat, instant messaging and more. In retail, the customer journey might also include a visit to a real world store.
HOW TO DEVELOP AN OMNI-CHANNEL MARKETING STRATEGY SMARTFOCUS | PAGE 4 WHAT IS OMNI-CHANNEL MARKETING AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? What is omni-channel marketing & why is it important?
HOW TO DEVELOP AN OMNI-CHANNEL MARKETING STRATEGY SMARTFOCUS | PAGE 6 "The traditional funnel no longer works on connected customers. It's far too dynamic and the evolution is spinning the ellipse faster than your business is adapting its vision, mission and models to react." Brian Solis, 'What's the Future of Business?' Read the Book WHAT IS OMNI-CHANNEL MARKETING AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
HOW TO DEVELOP AN OMNI-CHANNEL MARKETING STRATEGY SMARTFOCUS | PAGE 12 SOCIAL MEDIA - THE MOMENT OF TRUTH C-level executives may be pushing for an all- purpose, scalable marketing strategy across the website, email, social and mobile channels to maximize value for money. While the brand consistency this may bring is welcome, the word 'social' is in social marketing for a reason. It is about engagement and people and the more we can study who they are, what they like and what they don't like, the more we can improve those communications and build a more personal journey that matters. Brands might create engaging content and come up with great videos and infographics, but miss the point of what social really means. You are not the host; you are a participant. Social marketing is getting caught up in its own silo while every day the connected consumer community gets larger.
HOW TO DEVELOP AN OMNI-CHANNEL MARKETING STRATEGY SMARTFOCUS | PAGE 21 You have their attention - what are you going to do with it? YOU HAVE THEIR ATTENTION - WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH IT? Effective omni-channel marketing uses human strategies to get people's attention. Once you have their attention, what you do with it is more important than ever before. If you have connected with people on a human, personal level, it's vital to maintain that connection. The customer data available to today's marketers is a gift that should not be taken for granted. Despite increasing concerns over privacy, most consumers are still willing to share information about themselves – providing they get something valuable in return. It's therefore extremely important to use your customer data to create meaningful experiences that matter to your customers.

Mundialito de Clubes
"The amount of talent at this Mundialito is amazing"
The first press conference ahead of the Mundialito de Clubes Moscow 2021 was held today
The Mundialito de Clubes Moscow was brought one step closer when an online press conference, directed from the MIA Rossiya Segodnya headquarters, was held earlier today. The President of Beach Soccer Worldwide, Joan Cusco, the Tournament Producer, Evgeniy Bitenskiy, the President of BSC Lokomotiv Moscow, Vitaly Pogodin and the Head Coach of BSC Spartak, Anton Shkarin, attended the press conference.
"Going back to Moscow is a special feeling. After the amazing FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup we had at the Luzhniki, with big games, a big crowd and big entertainment, and also with the memories of the last Mundialito in 2020, we come back with renewed energy."
"It is very important to highlight that, despite the harsh conditions over these last years with the Covid-19 pandemic affecting the world so badly, we were still able to celebrate a Mundialito in 2020 and we will also have a Mundialito in 2021. I want to thank the Local Organizing Committee for their huge effort in making that happen", he added.
Asked about the teams, Cusco also stressed that "We have really good teams taking part in this edition, all of them with amazing players. Together with the hosts, Lokomotiv and Spartak, who are super strong teams, we have Vasco da Gama back, giving the opportunity for fans to enjoy another great team from Brazil, and of course the defending champions, Braga. Also Levante, Tokyo Verdy, Dinamo Minsk and Club Nacional are very powerful teams. I wouldn't want to try and predict a single result…"
In that same sense, the president of BSC Lokomotiv, Vitaly Pogodin, cited the Mundialito as, "one of the best events in the world", also stating his expectations: "I hope to meet Spartak Moscow in the final, and may the best team win…"
"I hope we do", came the reply from Spartak Head Coach Anton Shkarin. The FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Russia 2021 champion also explained the interest he has been noticing from the fans: "Even during the World Cup people kept asking me a lot about the Mundialito in 2021. Everybody was already looking forward to it then."
Similarly, the Tournament Producer, Evgeniy Bitevskiy, stressed the high interest the Mundialito attracts, and went through all the careful planning being done to cope with the currently difficult Covid-19 situation in the country. "We are paying special attention to safety, as it is one of the priority elements, and planning a thorough protocol."

Why is Disk Cleanup an Important Part of Free Computer Maintenance?
Failing to run free computer maintenance programs like Disk Cleanup can lead to not only a slow computer, but also create errors in your Microsoft Windows computer that may freeze or crash your computer. The average computer user stores thousands of files on their computer. Music files like MP3s of favorite songs, video files like MP4s of weddings or graduations and other files like Microsoft Word documents can take up a lot of hard drive space. These types of files are intentionally placed on a hard drive by a user, but many types of files that are stored on a hard drive are saved without you even knowing. Simply deleting files in the Recycle Bin is not enough computer maintenance to keep your computer running quickly and efficiently.
Microsoft Windows operating systems run more quickly and efficiently if regular computer maintenance is completed. Microsoft has embedded various free computer maintenance programs like Disk Cleanup in its operating systems. Disk Cleanup locates and deletes unnecessary files including a few examples listed below.
Old Files – Disk Cleanup removes old files to increase the amount of free storage space on your hard drive. For example, old files can include installation files from a previous Microsoft Office installation. Installation files are not always deleted once used and can take up space on your hard drive, however, the free Disk Cleanup computer maintenance application finds these old files and deletes them from your hard drive.
Temporary Internet Files – These files are stored in a folder in Windows operating systems and often contain multimedia files like music, images and video. Before the advent of broadband these types of files helped speed up your Internet experience by caching (storing) these files once downloaded to avoid spending the time to re-download them. Now that broadband is readily available the time spent downloading files is not as big of an issue making these files useless and taking up extra space on your hard drive. Disk Cleanup is a free computer maintenance application that finds these Temporary Internet Files and clears them from your hard drive.
Temporary Windows Files – The Windows operating system has a few limitations which include not being able to have multiple Desktop documents open at once. To remedy this, your computer creates Temporary Windows Files to allow users access to multiple documents being open and edited simultaneously. Additionally, when any file is printed in Windows a Temporary Windows File is created when the print job is spooled to your printer. These files are not always deleted automatically and can accumulate on your hard drive over time. Given that a typical photo print job can be 12 megabytes, these files can clog your hard drive rather quickly. Disk Cleanup is an excellent Microsoft computer maintenance program that locates and deletes these types of files.
Microsoft's free computer maintenance Disk Cleanup application is just one aspect of a comprehensive approach that Free Computer Maintenance uses to keep your computer running quickly and efficiently. Use Free Computer Maintenance to easily schedule dates and times for Disk Cleanup to run. Sign up in the blue box above to get started with Free Computer Maintenance!

The rustic farmhouse table, a piece of furniture which has such allure. The true origins of the "Farm Table" are unknown and many theories exist on how these tables came to be. Years ago, farmers tended to make their own furniture by hand. They were not trained cabinet makers so a simple design was usually the most popular. They were built to last and survive the constant use they would receive on a daily basis. These tables soon became the central meeting point for the family at both lunch and dinner, being often large enough to sit 8 or more people at once. They were designed to seat all members of the family as well as any guests that may be visiting.
The family kitchen was, and still remains the hub of most homes. Definitely the focal point in any kitchen is the table, all types of tables may be present but no other type brings the character and heritage of the rustic farmhouse table.
There is something beautiful about the patina, all those stains and nicks, the unique wood patterns, the history. So many stories to tell, so many more memories to witness. Many tables become family heirlooms passed from one generation to another, some have undergone changes over the years. For example the base may be painted, some are just lovingly polished and some are scrubbed. Whatever the finish you simply don't have to worry about adding your own history!
Where can you use rustic farmhouse tables?
Well the answer is simple they can look wonderful in all types of homes whether country styled or modern. They suit formal dining rooms and kitchens as well as more modern and open plan arrangements.
Today many tables are available with new bases made from oak, pine or metal. With reclaimed wooden tops often made from pine, cherry or oak and bearing original distress marks, they can add a natural worn appearance of the classic design. This is the perfect option as it allows tables to be made to an exact size for any home or business. The wood has all the original marks that only time can produce but with the sturdiness of new base and legs.
This style of table goes from strength to strength. The rustic farmhouse table still remains as popular and versatile today as it has ever been.

LeBron James has passed Michael Jordan in career games
LeBron James says his game 'completely different' than Michael ... - sportingnews.com
Michael Jordan played a long legendary career, but King James has already surpassed him in a major statistic
March 26, 2017 at 8:23 AM March 26, 2017 at 8:23 AM
Michael Jordan's career was known as a long and illustrious one that consisted of many great achievements and many great milestones. His career started at age 21 and finished at 40, with three retirements and many ups and downs along the way. Michael Jordan played basketball for a long time. LeBron James on the other hand, started his career at the age of 18 and currently in his 14th season, at the prime age of 32. LeBron James has already passed Jordan in a crazy statistic!
James played more games in the NBA than Jordan
After 15 seasons and 13 playoff runs in the NBA, Michael Jordan has played 1,251 games in the National Basketball Association.
Meanwhile LeBron James is nearing the end of his 14th NBA season, with 11 playoff runs, so far, he has already played in 1,252 career games. Surpassing MJ. This is attributed to LeBron's outlandish health throughout his career.
While he plays a physical game, taking hits and punishment on a nightly basis. King James takes so much care of his body whenever he is not playing basketball which has made for an incredibly healthy career. This allowed him to pass the great, Michael Jordan in games played, while playing less seasons. This isn't a statistic that everyone will be talking about, but it is a statistic that is worth thinking about. LeBron has many seasons to go in the NBA after playing 1,252 games (according to basketball-reference), whereas Jordan was aged 40, playing in his last game when reaching 1,251.
Should rest games really be criticised?
Whenever LeBron James rests a game, he is criticised. The media, the fans, the NBA usually always want King James to suit up and play. This makes for a more entertaining game, and will more than likely prevent the fans from getting bored and changing the channel.
But rest games have been very important to the success of LeBron James in the last few seasons.
Not many players have sustained a consistent excellence like LeBron has for 14 straight seasons. And not many have played to the level he is at right now at age 32, after all the minutes he's already logged throughout his career.
These rest games allow LBJ to stay remotely fresh throughout the season, and give him the energy boost needed for the playoffs. It's no surprise King James has appeared in the last 6 NBA finals series', winning three of them.

Warren Benjamin was born in Dresden city, America on the 13th July 1964. He grew up with his mother Natalie because his father left when he was very young, but he was generally happy as a child. The neighborhood he grew up in was very friendly and quite nice but when he was 11 they had to move to a poorer area of the city because his mother lost her job. The new area he moved to was rough and to fit in he went off the rails a little bit and started missing school and getting into trouble with the police.
Warren finished school with no grades at all and wasn't able to get a job. He was on benefits and living with his mother, most of his friends in the neighborhood had turned to a life of petty crime to live but Warren didn't want to. He did eventually give into crime because his mother was struggling with money and he needed to help, Warren got away with a few petty crimes before getting caught and arrested for burglary. He was in prison for 2 years and when he got his mother was still struggling with money so he continued with his criminal life going in and out of prison.
Whist serving some time in prison his mother was tragically murdered and he vowed that when he got out he would track down the murderer. He got out of prison a few years later and the murderer still hadn't been caught and the police had given up the search. Warren went on his own search and after a while got some leads from local people that the murderer was apart of a gang that hung around at an old house on the outskirts of the city. He went to the house armed and looking for revenge, he scouted the place out and a mysterious guy came out the house and headed straight towards him. Warren shot at him and hit him a few times but he carried on coming, until an unknown man came out of the shadows and put a stake through his heart. He took Warren to a safe place and explained that the gang where vampire's and tells him about how supernatural creatures exist, since then Warren has been helping people deal with the supernatural whilst still seeking the head vampire that killed his mother.

When it comes to committing to a job role, every worker recognises that their employer would regard dedication, passion and the drive to succeed as essential for success.
Whilst it is extremely important for employees to whole-heartedly commit to their job and give their best performance whenever possible, it's equally as important to take a well-needed rest and use the annual leave allowance that your company provides.
A study conducted by Printerland.co.uk found that one in five Brits hate asking for time off work, whilst a third of those surveyed were hesitant to ask their manager for time-off when they're feeling unwell.
Why Should We Take Time Off?
Because Brits are so hesitant to take time off work when they're ill, it can negatively impact the entire workplace environment. A third of companies in Britain have explained that the number of employees attending work whilst sick has increase in the past year.
Turning up to work whilst an employee is sick is a counter-productive activity. Their poor state of health will limit the quality of their work, they may feel distracted due to their symptoms and a generally reduced level of efficiency will be a result. This could lead to an increased chance of making mistakes, which have the potential to distort the reputation your business has.
In addition, there's a possible risk of the employee's illness causing further harm in the workplace. In extreme circumstances, dangerous accidents could occur due to a lack of focus and impaired judgement.
Employers should encourage their staff to take time off work when they're suffering with an illness. Although the staff may have the best intentions, it's essential that time is taken to recover and return to work in great health.
Why Aren't We Using Our Holidays?
It was reported that 25% of employees feel undervalued in their workplace. This is likely to be a significant factor in why our employees are refusing to use their holiday allowance as an attempt to prove their worth and gain more recognition from their managers.
The survey also found that 15% of workers feel overworked in their job, whilst a third feel uncomfortable at the thought of asking their boss for help.
It is evident that 'presenteeism', the act of attending work whilst suffering from a genuine illness, is common in UK working environments. Feeling overworked is valid reason for employees to not use their holidays, yet their employer should be recognising this fact and providing additional support with their role to avoid burnout.
In order to receive the full benefits of a productive employee, their manager should provide them with a comfortable working environment to prevent burnout. Cultivating a company culture is a fantastic way to provide this as employees will feel increasingly confident in asking for what they need.
You can also set a positive example to your staff by doing as you preach, and take time off work when you're feeling sick. Because your employees will look to you as their mentor, leading by example is another proven way to show your staff that taking time off when they're ill is necessary.
If your employees are taking time off work when they're genuinely ill, they will prove to be a productive and valuable asset to your business.

Remembering Tania Douglas: a brilliant biomedical engineer, academic and friend
June 10, 2021 Last updated : August 24, 2022 sorasak4007
Tributes from friends, colleagues, collaborators and students have poured in for South African academic Professor Tania Samantha Douglas, an internationally recognised scholar, biomedical engineer and innovator. She passed away on 20 March 2021.
She was admired by many and consulted broadly for her unique insights, in-depth understanding of South Africa's higher education environment, and open-mindedness. Always vibrant, she was able to fully engage with issues in an unbiased manner – sharing her well-considered thoughts in a friendly and practical way.
Tania obtained the second highest grade in the country in her final school exams in 1987. She went on to read for a BScEng in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Cape Town (UCT). This was followed by an MS in Biomedical Engineering at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. Then came a PhD in Bioengineering from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, and a postdoctoral fellowship in image processing with the Japan Broadcasting Corporation in Tokyo.
In 2000, Tania returned to her alma mater. She took up a lecturer position in the Department of Biomedical Engineering.
In her recent work, she strove to combine biomedical engineering with social context. Her aim was to find novel solutions towards improved health. To this end, she developed a new postgraduate programme in Health Innovation teaching human-centred innovation with an emphasis on end-user engagement.
She believed and advocated that Africa needs to find solutions to its own problems and worked tirelessly to build biomedical engineering capacity across the continent.
Academic legacy
During her 21 years at the University of Cape Town, Tania held numerous leadership positions within the department and faculty. These included serving as Divisional Head for a period and serving as Deputy Dean of Research in the Faculty of Health Sciences. She also, for the past decade, led the Medical Research Council/UCT Medical Imaging Research Unit.
In 2016, Tania was awarded the prestigious South African Research Chair in Biomedical Engineering and Innovation. Two years later she was Founding Director of UCT's Biomedical Engineering Research Centre.
Tania excelled in all spheres of academia. She headed a large research group, and trained and graduated more than 50 master's and doctoral students. Postdoctoral fellows and junior staff were among those she mentored. She also published extensively in leading international journals, and taught and developed courses. Her scholarly contributions were recognised through numerous awards. These included research fellowships from the International Institute for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy; the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in Germany; and the European Union's Erasmus Mundus programme.
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Women in Engineering's South Africa Section named her as its female academic/researcher of the year in 2009.
In 2018 she was recognised as a Quartz Africa Innovator. A year later, the South African Women in Science Awards named her as Distinguished Woman Researcher in Research and Innovation. In the past decade, she was elected a Fellow by the South African Academy of Engineering, the International Academy of Medical and Biological Engineering, and the University of Cape Town. She was also a member of the Academy of Science of South Africa.
Tania's research focused on major public health problems in South Africa. She developed novel instruments and computer-assisted techniques. Some of her early work involved developing image-processing techniques to characterise the facial phenotype associated with foetal alcohol syndrome – a condition of which the incidence in certain communities in South Africa is among the highest in the world.
Tania also made seminal contributions in tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis. One was the development of a 'smart microscope' that automated detection of TB bacilli in stained sputum smears. Another was the computer-aided detection of pulmonary pathology in paediatric chest X-rays.
She played a leading role in establishing the African Biomedical Consortium. She also launched and was founding Editor-in-Chief of the open-access electronic journal Global Health Innovation. In addition she edited the open-access eBook Biomedical Engineering for Africa (University of Cape Town Libraries; 2019).
Since 2014, Tania had served as Associate Editor of both the South African Journal of Science and Medical Engineering and Physics. In January 2021 she was appointed as Editor-in-Chief of the latter.
A great void
Tania was warm and empathetic, and an inspiring mentor to many. As her friend and head of the Department of Human Biology at UCT, Professor Sharon Price, wrote:
We will remember Tania for being an amazing woman – brave, humble and brilliant. She lived her life, and carried her illness, with extraordinary grace and dignity. We will remember her for her astute intellect and her quiet humanity to build others in the process. She was talented and gracious, and we will remember her positive attitude and ever-present beautiful smile.
Tania is survived by her parents, Rita and Aubrey Douglas.

          s = ('0' + Math.floor(t % 60000 / 1000)).slice(-2);
        var formattedTime = h + ':' + m + ':' + s;
        $(this.element).html(formattedTime);
      }
    });
  });
});

How can I make it so that when the count-down timer reaches 0, it will slide to the very last slide in the carousel?
Currently I am using the line below to achieve this, however this is not a viable solution as the script is being used numerous times on different pages and more slides may be added-in at a later stage:
$(".qa").slick('slickGoTo', 5);

A: how about something like this
$(".qa").slick('slickGoTo', $('.qa div').length);

Or for a cleaner code
$(".qa").slick('slickGoTo', $('.qa').children('div').length);

A: when your slideToShow is bigger than 1 you must do like below:
$('.your-slider').on('init', function(event, slick){
   let slideToShow = slick.breakpointSettings[slick.activeBreakpoint].slidesToShow;
    slick.slickGoTo(slick.slideCount-slideToShow);
});

This is an MCedit schematic format file (zipped) for the Apple IIe built in Minecraft (updated for 1.12.1), as featured on a blog post elsewhere on this site. Download this and use MCedit to paste it onto your world. (Note: I am not going to describe how the MCedit process for loading schematics works – you will have to learn that elsewhere on the Net).
Also, as a bonus build, I have included my old Skyblock island, recreated in Creative mode from videos and screenshots I took from my old Hatfilms Skyblock account several years ago.
