Experts Explain the Worst Mistakes You Can Make in Native Advertising
Best Practices, Native Advertising
Relevance, digital marketing agency, publication, and events producer, asked Storygize CEO David Osman his thoughts on mistakes marketers commit within native advertising. Following is the resulting article, highlighting over a dozen industry experts. We're honored to be featured in such great company!
Native advertising is not a new concept. From the first advertisement including long-form copy in the early 1900s, to TV informercials introduced in the 1980s, consumers are used to seeing sponsored content. However, digital native advertising as we know it today dates back only to 2011.
With $21 billion estimated to be spent on native advertising by 2018, marketers can't afford to misstep. Luckily, we can look to groundbreakers in the industry and learn from their experience. Relevance reached out to 14 active and well-respected professionals in the native advertising world and asked them:
"What are some native advertising mistakes marketers are committing?"
Here's what they had to say:
Richard Iwanik-Marques, Vice President of Marketing
"Native advertising is a relatively young industry, and a lot of marketers are learning as they go, which we love at Revcontent. Testing new strategies and implementations for your marketing efforts are what drive data and new learning that will ultimately lead to sustainable and scalable revenues, engagement and brand awareness for marketers.
One trend I've seen all too often is marketers underestimating the importance of providing a value-added discovery experience to their audience. Instead of telling a story and relating to their audience, marketers moving into the native space are using traditional display experiences that don't engage with a consumer and almost come off as a digital version of a billboard. The reason native is so effective as a means of driving brand awareness is the non-intrusive nature of the messaging. If you're creating a campaign for native, put user experience at the forefront of your decision making. If the messaging doesn't accomplish a true story-telling narrative for the people engaging with your content, it is highly unlikely you will accomplish the goals of your campaigns."
David Osman, Co-founder and CEO
LinkedIn, @storygize
"Programmatic native advertising supports content marketing. We've observed the following mistakes stemming from a misunderstanding of how in-feed native works:
Absence of Content Marketing Strategy. If a brand hasn't defined buyer personas, created content specific to stages of a buyer's journey, or thinks promotion ends with search and social channels, a native ad campaign can't succeed.
Lack of Valuable Content. In-feed native ads drive users to content valuable to them. If the brand hasn't researched their buyer persona's challenges, crafted content especially for them, and constructed the destination page meant to inspire a predefined action, then the campaign won't deliver.
The Bait & Switch. Native advertising serves as a more polite way to engage consumers and direct them to useful content—that's why it's successful. If a brand uses an attractive photo and enticing headline and then drops them off on an unrelated or annoying product page, the audience not only loses interest, but loses faith in the brand.
Disregard for Contextual Relevancy. Well executed native ads are relevant to the editorial context of the placement. The idea is to grab the customer's attention while they're consuming related content, where they're likely to click on the ad and find content to inspire conversion."
Ben Young, CEO
@bwagy
"The most common pitfall marketers fall in to is making their content too short. At Nudge we specialize in tracking native content and have our finger on the pulse of the market.
Content producers are too aware that it is advertising but are losing sight of the end user. The end user is browsing the web and clicks on an article they WANT to read. Don't hold back at 300-400 words: give them more of what you've got.
Half the battle is getting attention, so give yourself the opportunity to hold it when you get it."

Peyman Nilforoush, CEO and Co-founder
@ThePeyman
"Display advertising is a $100 billion industry that has failed miserably to engage consumers. Statistically speaking you have a better chance of surviving a plane crash than clicking on a banner ad. The average click-thru rate on a banner ad is 0.05%, meaning 99.95% of people who see a banner ad don't click on it and they don't work because they interrupt the user experience instead of enhancing it. That's why the idea of native advertising has been revolutionary. Simply put, by giving users content that's native to their experience the ad is now all of a sudden valuable to the user. This is why we've seen a dramatic shift of ad budgets from display/banner ads to native.
The biggest challenge, however, is making this change successful. It comes down to the idea that native advertising has to first and foremost be useful for the end consumer; it MUST offer value and it most certainly CANNOT BE DISRUPTIVE. There lies the biggest mistake that some of the world's largest brands are making when it comes to native advertising:
NOT using content as the creative for native ads and instead using an image and click URL as if this is display ads 2.0.
Sending the users to landing pages as opposed to useful content that offers real value.
Measuring clicks as a success metric. The ONLY metric that matters is engagement and actions that have resulted from your campaigns.
Paying for clicks and impressions; unless someone reads the content you are promoting, you've just wasted your money.
Running native ads across only one or two channels. Every piece of content has its own audience, and unless you distribute your content broadly across many native networks you are most likely not scaling enough to get sufficient ROI.
While native advertising has been around for a few years, the implementation of it is still very new to the world's largest brands. The opportunity for native advertising is to be synonymous with advertising, and it begins and ends with the consumer experience."
OneSpot
Adam Weinroth, CMO
@aweinroth
"One of the biggest overlooked opportunities in native advertising is thinking deeply about relevance. Amazon, Netflix, Google and others have conditioned consumers to expect a personally relevant experience everywhere they go online. If your native advertising program isn't part of a broader effort to get the most personally relevant content possible in front of the consumer, you might find yourself earning lots of impressions on attractive sites but potentially very little meaningful engagement that leads to actual business results. The best brands are working to make content resonate at the individual level, and having that relevance span across many different digital channels, not just one."
Bidtellect
John Ferber, Chairman of the Board and Co-founder
"The most common mistakes advertisers make is that they either think they do not have content or they are using the wrong content. Many advertisers will use offer-driven content as a way to engage their audience when consumers engage in a deeper fashion with content that contains value. Value-driven content is educational, informative and engaging. Advertisers need to think more like publishers to be effective in the modern web."
Keywee
Yaniv Makover, Co-founder, CEO, @YanivMakover
"Native advertising still frequently tends to come across as tone deaf to readers. Too often the material lacks cohesion with the rest of the publisher's content, leaving the audience with a bad taste in its mouth. Consider a serious news outlet posting celebrity puff pieces for a brand shilling cosmetic creams. That disconnect shouldn't exist in native advertising. In its best form, native advertising provides value to the reader and feels natural among its neighboring content. For the best shot at achieving this, brands might consider working with publishers' in-house content studios, since they should have the deepest understanding of what resonates with their audiences."
Adam Singolda, Founder and CEO
@AdamSingolda
"As an industry, I think the main area where I see a big opportunity is to evolve from branded content, or custom studios that were originally invented to drive high impact ("top of the funnel"), into measuring what happens when someone finishes reading a story.
I think we need to evolve from measuring "engagement" into metrics on actions, so marketers feel comfortable doing campaigns again and again. As an example, if someone spent 1- 2 minutes reading an article, should marketers do it again? I'm not sure, but if people sign up to the brand newsletter after they finish reading, that starts to become interesting. It demonstrates they want to stay in touch.
These are not traditional ROI metrics per se, but soft conversion metrics that can help both marketers and publishers work together and build meaningful partnerships."
iQ by Intel
Luke Kintigh, Global Paid Media and Content Strategist
@lukekintigh
"Many brands see the advent of native advertising simply as a new container for their digital ads. However, it is not the format that's the real promise of native. Rather, it's how native ads when done right match the format, function and user expectation of the environments where they are placed. Unless the content inside native ads is as valuable and immersive as the natural content surrounding it, users will reject native ads just as they have with banners and other disruptive ad formats. As advertisers, we must have the mindset that our content can compete and even beat editorial content when it comes to quality and relevance to the end user. It is time to disrupt the age of disruption and show consumers that native advertising is much more than a new ad unit. Native has the capability to add value to the user instead of distracting from it."
Will Fleiss, Head of Content Marketing
@willfleiss
"A glaring mistake I see marketers make with native advertising is when they only look at each piece of content from the campaign perspective, with a definitive beginning and end. Instead, native should be seen as part of an on-going content marketing strategy that aims to address the complete customer journey throughout the various stages of the funnel. Too often native advertising functions merely as another format for packing self-serving messages into the trusted places where audiences go to find relevant and interesting content when it should be about building a relationship with the consumer. That happens by consistently delivering valuable content that tells a story from one piece to the next."
Chad Pollitt, Co-founder, VP of Audience
@ChadPollitt
"The biggest mistake I'm seeing these days with native is the funnel alignment of content. Native is really good at scaled top-funnel content promotion. However, it's not an effective channel when merely broadcasting mid to bottom-funnel content. That's what PPC and display are for. Marketers need to use native to tell a story – only delivering mid-funnel content to the people who have consumed and engaged with top-funnel content already. As marketers, we need to respect the buyer's journey. Native shouldn't be treated like traditional paid digital channels. Don't just hand an RSS feed over to the PPC guy and say figure it out. You'll just waste money and moan about how native doesn't work."
Adblade
Jon Carmen, SVP of Operations
"Not putting enough time and effort into ad creative. We see many advertisers that just try to re-purpose Display Ads into a Native Format. Unfortunately it does not always translate. Native Ads need to be "headline interesting" but by no means 'deceptive.'
Advertisers may be overpaying because their vendor may be less adept at weeding out traffic fraud, which is now at epidemic proportions.
Many digital ad vendors have poor compliance programs which can place an advertiser's offer in close proximity or adjacent to content or offers which would make most legitimate advertisers wince."
Todd Sawicki, CEO
@sawickipedia
"Advertisers' biggest mistake with native advertising is applying last click thinking to a top of funnel solution. Native advertising allows marketers to connect users to content. Content helps generate awareness, interest and consideration, and now native advertising allows marketers the chance to market from the very top to the bottom of the funnel online – so start with native advertising to drive larger pools of users who are aware and interested in your product, and then close them with more last click oriented solutions like search marketing or display retargeting."
Native Advertising Institute
Jesper Laursen, Founder
@jesperlaursen
"Here are three of the common mistakes that we see way too often:
Disguising traditional sales messages like relevant and valuable content. We did a global survey on native advertising in the magazine industry, and one of the biggest challenges for publishers was to make marketers understand that you need to tell real stories that engage the audience. People are way too smart, busy and picky to let you get away with dressing up a traditional ad like a piece of editorial content.
Failing to integrate a native advertising campaign with content marketing projects running on the company's own media properties. It doesn't have to be all about building your permission base, but you should somehow leverage the access to all the eyeballs you're renting.
Far too many marketers underestimate how good the content needs to be. Getting your content in front of people is nowhere near good enough. You need to engage, move and motivate people to make native advertising work, and that takes outstanding content. Remember you're competing against the content of the media you're running on and that's usually pretty great. Mediocre content will only make you fall flat on your stomach."
To end with a final piece of advice, David Ogilvy, hailed "The Father of Advertising," said, "It has been found that the less an advertisement looks like an advertisement and the more it looks like an editorial, the more readers stop, look and read." Armed with this information, nothing can hold you back in creating phenomenal native advertising.

Lately I have received a lot of feed back and requests from fans to cover specific techniques exercises and tips. One of the requests lately was to cover a great way to target the lats and upper back that can help get that V taper. I chose to cover the lat pull-downs again as they are the number one exercise to help get the V-taper, however I see so many people doing it, and other exercises in the gym incorrectly.
In the below video I cover a great super set, and cover proper from and technique that will target the lats as well as the upper back muscles such as the rhomboids, lower traps and even t he rear delts.

Q: @Override annotation thowing error in Eclipse Juno but not in Eclipse Indigo I'm trying to move to using the latest version of Eclipse (Juno 4.2) but I am getting errors a project where I have used @Override annotation. The same project does not throw any errors in Eclipse Indigo.
I have had similar problems in the past but I have overcome them by changing the JRE on the buildpath. The settings for the project seems identical to me in Indigo and Juno. How do I solve this?

...

The compiler settings are also identical

...

A: I suspect there are different "JDK compliance" settings for the two projects.
See this question which explains how @Override changed between Java 1.5 and 1.6.

Prague is a very easy city to find your way around in as a tourist. All of the main sites are very easy to see in a short amount of time. This city was perfect for Jonathan and I's schedule since we only had a little over 12 hours to cram in an entire city. We started off the morning by heading to the Old Town Square. This is the heart of the city where stunning 10th century architecture, local musicians playing, and flocks of tourists taking selfies can be found. Here is also the location of the Church of Our Lady Before Týn and the Astronomical Clock. However, Jonathan and I were bummed because both of these landmarks were under construction and partially covered up on the day we went so we weren't able to see them completely.
St. Charles bridge is beautiful and very crowded with tourists, street musicians, and vendors selling trinkets or offering to draw your caricature. From this bridge there is an excellent view of the river and other side of Prague with it's famous orange rooftops and castle on the hill.
Just a slight detour off of the Royal Route from the Old Town Square up to Prague castle took us to the Lennon Wall created by young Czechs after John Lennon's death because they viewed him as a pacifist hero of their time. In 1980 an image on Lennon was painted on the wall along with The Beatles' quotes, promoting love and peace. Police tried to whitewash this wall but could never keep it clean for long. The wall continues to be added to to this day and all that remains of the original Lennon graffiti are his eyes. While this was another heavily trafficked site, it was probably my favorite place in all of Prague and not just because I am a sucker for art. At this wall, different nationalities from all over the world stop to take pictures or spray paint their own message of love and peace on the wall. It is a place where everyone forgets their different backgrounds and cultures and all bond together in artistic expression. What can be a more beautiful thing?
Jonathan and I really wanted to try a place I had researched and found online beforehand called Kulat'ak which is a local restaurant chain that serves authentic Czech food for reasonable prices. We heard that the original restaurant was worth the 30 minute detour walk to get there so we made the trek over to a quieter part of town for lunch.
The beer was amazing and the chef offered three different entree specials for the day so we just randomly chose one because we couldn't read Czech and got lucky with a hearty lentil soup and a Španělský ptáček (stewed beef roll filled with bacon, pickle, sausage, and hard-boiled egg) and rice pilaf topped with flavorful gravy. This entire meal was only around $10 and big enough for two people to split.
One other foodie tip would be to try the trdelník down in the village. There are countless stands and small shops that sell them and come with a variety of stuffings and toppings. Jonathan and I originally only bought one to share but wished we had gotten two because they are so addicting!
The final two places we hit in our day in Prague was Letna Park where we sat down and accidentally fell asleep in the grass for two hours, and Prague Castle which we walked through and admired the architecture. Visitors are allowed inside the gates of the castle free of charge but there is an admission fee for an inside tour.
Prague definitely treated us well and I would love to return again someday if at least just to enjoy another trdenlník!


At 7:30 the room grew quiet, and the small throng of geeks migrated into the "Kanbar Forum" room — a small auditorium with a large presentation screen — for the official unveiling. Someone told me even Randal L. Schwartz was in the room. There was already a browser on the screen that was displaying the Perl6 home page at Perl6.org, and two more tabs appeared to be IRC logs "for #p..." The quiet chatter turned to applause when Larry Wall finally walked out onto the stage. Then he made shadow puppets on the screen with his fingers — and left.
"I have to say, these language designers can be such a tease sometimes," joked Jeremy Zawondy from Craigslist. He'd come up to the podium to officially introduce Larry before the main presentation. Jeremy noted the parallel development of Perl 5 and Perl 6, arguing that it really says something about the Perl community. And then he shared how people had answered his question when RSVPing for the event on Meetup. "What do you love about Perl?"
"I've been using it forever. It's part of my brain."
"Because it's so wrong." (Applause) Jeremy turned to the audience and said, "So far I agree with all of these."
"It dares to be weird.
"It makes me feel happy."
"And last, but not least: 'It's readable'." (Laughter from audience...) But Jeremy said he'd been talking to Larry and his wife about the old joke comparing Perl code to line noise. And he noted that later, languages started copying Perl's built-in support for regular expressions. "They made fun of Perl, but..." Then he said something about "years to come" — I'm not sure if he was talking about Larry or Perl — and then finally Larry Wall came back onto the stage.
He removed his leather cowboy hat, smiled, and then playfully handed the hat to his wife. One of the first things he said was a thank-you to Craigslist, "for sponsoring me these last few years." 61-year-old Larry Wall said he couldn't properly express his gratitude to Craigslist. And then he launched into his first series of slides.
My favorite slide said "More bugs. Less docs." ("Wait, that's a bug," Larry joked, quickly replacing it with a slide that said "More docs, less bugs.") For example, he described one of Perl's earlier problems as "Hanging things on the wrong peg." (That is, too many things being accessible in the "global" namespace, which Larry proved by displaying the keys from a hash of global environment variables.) Then he ran the same code on Perl 6, which found no variables in the global namespace. A lot of them went instead into the CORE library. "They're hung on the right peg," Larry said, "instead of the wrong peg..."
He seemed pleased to be upgrading a language that he'd first shared with the world more than 28 years ago. He pointed out that Perl 6 would have fewer arbitrary lists for geeks to memorize. (Like which symbols are global, but also which functions use the special $_ variable as their default parameter). And Larry demonstrated a Perl 6 program which, among other things, made use of the trendy new "enumerated" type. The program simulated a forest fire using tree icons in one of four states.
Amazingly, all the little tree icons were continuously being re-drawn surprisingly quickly on his screen, each one using different ANSI colors to simulate their current state. Larry explained that this was being facilitated by the tree object's "direct-access variables", created by adding a "bang" after the variable-type sigil.
"By the way, strict is default," he said, drawing enthusiastic applause from the audience. The strict pragma stops the troublesome auto-creation of new variables when a variable name is accidentally mistyped — which has plagued Perl developers for years.
He also said something about improving the scoping of methods by looking up the call stack (noting Perl's infamous attempt at a local function back in the 1990s). There was a nod to other quirks of Perl 5 — "multi-pass parsing" and various examples of "action at a distance" — showing that he'd really dug down into the "guts" of Perl.
He had a funny response when someone asked about his philosophy about what should be included in the standard library. First he replied that Perl 6 is analogous to the Linux kernel, in the sense that nobody only downloads it by itself. ("They download a distribution.") So unlike some other programming languages, these "editorial decisions" about what should be included are delegated to the creators of those distributions. "In other words...we punt."
He seemed excited that universities would now have a single language that could be used to teach every style of programming — from functional to procedural. With an eye toward the future, he said "Some professors will think that's a great thing." And this came up again after a very thoughtful observation about the new butterfly logo for Perl 6.
"Paul Graham wrote this thing about the 100-year language," Larry remembered, which had inspired some thoughts about language longevity. So the new butterfly logo for Perl 6 "is specifically designed, among other things, to appeal to 7-year-old girls. The Python community has done a much better job appealing to kids with fun stuff.
"We don't expect to be the language of the week. We don't want to play that game. We want it to keep being there... We don't want their language to run out of steam. It might be a 30- or 40-year language. I think it's good enough." And then someone in the audience asked him which part of Perl 6 was his favorite.
"The part where we get done," he answered.
"I kind of like all of it, really."
Now I wish even more that I had been there.


With the release of his fifth album, once again Tricky has managed to surprise expectations and calm the fears. It's no wonder he's so strongly against being thrown into the 'Trip Hop' genre, that many claim his debut, "Maxinquaye", created. "BlowBack" can't be cornered into just one genre, there should be a dark corner in every music shop for all original artists.
The Bristol-born but now New Jersey resident's last four albums would be right at home in the darkness. But this latest release has been rightfully tagged, "…his most accessible LP of his career." There's even a sweet HAPPY song! Tricky has made some beautiful songs in the past, full of emotion but never the 'sweet gentle, romantic sound' found on 'Your Name', which will surprise his fans for sure. This is not a bad thing, it's refreshing to hear a 'happy love' song without the used-and-abused formula that dominates the pop charts.
The majority of "BlowBack" is easy to digest, unlike his past albums. Alanis Morrisette adds her voice to the opener, 'Excess'. But not as you would have expected as Stephanie McKay is the main impressive vocal. Tricky is known for discovering unknown talent and letting them shine on more then just one song. Ragga vocalist 'Hawkman' appears on half the album, bringing a fast-paced flavour, reminiscent of Buju Banton, with his singing voice. On 'Diss Never (We Dig Up History)' he spins a interesting crime story.
'Bury The Evidence' is more like the dark side of Tricky. Being a huge Notorious B.I.G. fan, here Tricky takes on the keyboard notes of 'What's Beef'. It show's his production mastery, the way he builds a song with growing adrenalin. "I can picture it now, you in your car, left the bar, playin' Big Pa." Hawkman adds backing vocals as Tricky and the song get more amped as the guitars and drums rev up and then disappear. On 'Give It To 'Em', Hawkman and Tricky verbalise perfectly together, as an answerphone machine divides them.
Keeping with the genre-less method, the album ends with 'A Song For Yukiko', in Japanese words. "For you I'd suffer much pain, sharp glass and migraine." Half the songs on here are created for your own imagination, as he leaves us with clues to the 'real meanings'. Because there is no straight formula, "BlowBack" is over before you fully appreciate it. A mixture of Rock, Ragga, HipHop and Melody. Nowhere near as hard to decipher as 'Angels With Dirty Faces' or 'Pre Millenium Tension' and not the timeless masterpiece that was/is "Maxinquaye", "BlowBack" is friendly in comparison. This time it's not the 'confusion and intrique' that keeps you coming back for more, it's the original quality of one of the most slept on unselfish producer/songwriters around today.


I have collected quite a few Decorating Books and where to keep them is becoming a problem. I notice in all of these wonderful books that they display stacks of designer books on coffee tables along with a random mix of other things.
After studying several different books and table displays, I thought I would try my hand at arranging something on the livingroom coffee table.
It's a traditional drop leaf table, but it is fairly good size. They always had one main focal point in all of their vignettes, so I am using this floral arrangement as my main focal point.
Most of the tables I saw had at least two stacks of books or more, so I chose to use two stacks since that fits the size of my table best.
A candle hurricane for height and some orbs and eggs for interest. All of the tables I studied had a small collection of something. I thought the orbs and eggs were a nice collection.
A candle snuffer, a pretty plate and some coasters finish off my vignette.
Something different for me, but it is always fun to try and learn something new and to experiment.
How about you, do you like to try out new ideas and see how it works for your decor. I think this could use some tweaking, but it was fun to do something different.
Boy Marty, that room is looking good! Keep it up.
Hi Marty, Your room looks so beautiful!It's so cheerful.
Hi Marty! Oh, this is just beautiful! You copy catted very well.
I think you captured the designer-look just perfectly, Marty. And, yes, I love to try new ideas, especially something I've seen in a magazine or design book.
Your coffee table looks great! I have a few on mine also, so I guess I'm a copycat too.
The table looks wonderful. Things keep looking better and better!
It looks lovely! The floral arrangement looks so airy. I'm a decorator book collector too. I love them!
I stacked my decorating books on my square coffee table in stacks of four, Marty! I'd had them packed up two years ago when we thought we were moving and I missed being able to pull one out to look through. So I opened up all the boxes and put them out on my coffee table. I'm sure I have a picture on my blog somewhere showing that. I love them this way!
I love this look! Your focal point, candle in hurricane and snuffer with the two stacks of decorator books is perfect, I think it looks great the way you have it.
Lovely arrangement. What catches my eye is the beautiful plate that encompasses all your decor hues! You are always an inspiration!
Your designer book collections look wonderful on the table. Your livingroom is so lovely and vibrant with color.
And your spring colored pills and trims are sooo fun!!
I have tried putting books on the coffee table but they always get used as coasters!!
Your table looks lovely. I think we are more inclined to pick up a book if it is right in front of us!
I did the same thing with a few of my decorator books! I found the same principal worked for me! Yours looks really great!
I think your books look great and very natural on your table. Mine are all over the place, and always laying in piles on tables. I suppose that's why I like seeing them! haha! Honestly, I think they're terrific!
Your table looks looks wonderful! Thanks for sharing those tips that you gathered from the pictures, etc. that you got your ideas from.
I Like it! I am always stumped when it comes to "coffee table decor".
Need to find me some magazines!
Love books...and like what you've done, I keep stacks here and there. They're also great if you need to elevate something within your vignette. You know for height variation. Hope you're enjoying a nice summer.
It's very pretty and inviting.
Looks wonderful as always, love the hurricane. I hate that Borders is closing, always love looking at and buying some beautiful garden or design books. Won't be the same seeing them on line..
I love this Marty! I did a magazine copy cat challenge last month, and this is just the sort of thing that was so fun to see what everyone comes up with. I will be doing another one in September, so keep on keeping and hope to see you there.
Brilliant, I love everything about this post, the candle hurricane looks awesome!
Its fun to be inspired by what we read or see on other blogs. Your table looks great like that...the books look right in place and ready to be read.
Your living room is just lovely and you did a great Kopy Kat job on that coffee table of yours. I just love books and am always trying to find new ways to display them. Thanks so much for sharing this inspiring post!
Your table looks great, Marty. The way you analyzed the inspiration photos you liked really helps to get the look you want. I really need to analyze some, because I have stacks of books on my coffee table, but it never looks quite right. :)Great post, as always.
Your vignettes are always beautiful, Marty! I have decorating books stuck everywhere. I need to dig them out and display them like you did. Thank you for linking to the Open House party this week.
lovely coffee table arrangement Marty and your living area is so warm and inviting.
This is lovely Marty! Thanks for linking it to HSH!
Have you tried putting fake trees as bed posts? Who would have ever thought of that?


Yes, God is Merciful and Gracious, and even when we do not acknowledge Him, He blesses us. God blesses us by allowing us to live to see another day. God blesses some with wealth, they may think they have amass it in their own strength, but they can do nothing without God.
When we do surrender our lives to God, He gives us a fuller blessing. God grants His people peace. God gives His people prosperity, not prosperity as the world sees it. He gives an abundance of Spiritual Wealth, He fills the void that no money can ever fill, that is why some with much wealth will still take their own lives. Though wealthy they still remain empty on the inside….Spiritual wealth is the key to a peaceful life, one that will find favor with God.
Yes exactly. Spiritual wealth is the key to a peaceful life with God.


The Chaitra Parva Chhau Festival is a significant festival for the people of Odisha, which continues for three successive days. It is observed by the 'Bhuiyans Tribe' in many regions of Odisha, especially in Koraput, where the festival is celebrated with utmost fervour.
The festival is primarily attached to Mayurbhanj Chhau, a significant dance form of Odisha. It involves dancers wearing masks called 'Chhau' which comes from the word 'Chhaya', meaning shadow. This dance form has elements of folk, martial arts, and classical in it. Besides dance, the festival also has some religious fervour associated with it. People of Odisha worship Lord Shiva during this month and it is believed that if Lord Shiva is called upon during this time, He will bring prosperity to the individual and the community as a whole.
Celebrations of the Chaitra Parva Chhau Festival involve singing, dancing, drinking and hunting, which means – complete treat! The tribal people wear new clothes and indulge into merriment. People worship Lord Shiva and perform the Saivite (Shiva centric) ceremonies. They also make sacrifices of birds and animals before God. Chhau Dance, which is performed during the night, got associated to the Chaitra Parva Festival only after its introduction in the Mayurbhanj state.

This couple's wedding ceremony took place at St. Mary's Catholic Church (also sometimes referred to as St. Mary's Italian Church). The church, built in 1845 as the Chapel of the Archbishops, has had several names and functions throughout its existence, being given its current designation in 1994. It was built on the site of the Ursuline Convent and Chapel. A nearby plaque reads:
Old Ursuline Convent
Next to the site of first building erected in 1734
Home of Ursuline nuns who came from France "to relieve the poor, sick and provide education for young girls"
First girls' school in Louisiana
Oldest building in Mississippi Valley
Placed by Louisiana Society
National Society Colonial Dames XVII Century
It's a beautiful and unique New Orleans church, with a wood ceiling that has an elaborate design painted on it.
At the conclusion of the ceremony, the couple and their guests made their way through the French Quarter with a second line parade led by the Kinfolk Brass Band.
The reception took place at Latrobe's on Royal, a fabulous wedding venue in New Orleans. Of course, having a ceremony at Latrobe's is also an option for couples.
Location: 1116 Chartres St, New Orleans, LA 70116.

New numbers show that places where overdoses happen are shifting, a report from the police board indicates.
Last year, by far the most overdoses happened across the region in homes with 280. That's over 100 more than the next highest place where overdoses were reported, which was shelters.
Through the first three months of 2019, though, shelters are seeing the highest overdose numbers with 76, compared to 58 so far in residences.
Kitchener is still seeing the highest number of reported overdoses, with 117 through the end of March. That's compared to 50 in Cambridge and 14 in Waterloo.
The ages of those overdosing are also treading higher.
A total of 225 people overdosed between the ages of 24 and 33 last year. Only 46 people have overdosed in that age category through the first quarter of this year.
Meanwhile, the number of people who overdosed in the 54 to 63 age range is already reaching similar levels to the year before, with 23 through March compared to 30 through all of 2018.
Kitchener council has approved its first safe consumption site, slated to open on Duke Street West, but is still waiting for approval from regional council.
There's also the matter of provincial funding: the government is only providing funding for another six sites across the province.

Guitar playing is great fun, in fact playing any musical instrument brings a lot of joy and happiness to one and all music lovers. Learning guitar is not a child's play. You have to get the notes and the chords right. Music is a language and guitar is a tool to understand this language. For learning the guitar, you need to spend some time to learn guitar music theory, and this will help you learn guitar within no time. This will give you knowledge by which you can understand what you are playing on the guitar.
There are two types of guitars – electric and acoustic. First, you need to decide what kind of music you like and then to choose the type of guitar accordingly. If you listen to hard rock music, then the electric guitar is the best choice for you and vice versa. If you use a wrong guitar, it is most likely that you will lose interest in playing the guitar.
Use a tuner because it is impossible for beginners to tune a guitar by ear and almost everyone uses a tuner now. For beginners, a chromatic tuner is better than a regular guitar tuner. There are many tunings you can learn to play on guitar.
You need to change the strings of the guitar timely as they began to get corroded and lose their tone. There are different strings for acoustic and electric guitar – the material of both the strings is different. So choose them correctly without any confusion. There are a lot of brands in the market to decide. Strings also come in different gauges and thickness. The thicker the string is, the better it is and lasts longer. Strings might be tough on the fingers, and they are harder to bend. For acoustic guitar 12 gauge strings are preferred and for electric guitars gauge 9 to gauge ten strings are preferred.
One must hold a pick properly because of that only you can play the guitar as you want. The beginner must learn to have a firm grip on the pick as it plucks the string firmly with both downstrokes and upstrokes. Beginners must learn to fret a note; it is the essential skill that a guitarist must possess. It includes having the proper finger gap so that the guitarist touch the string which he wants to fret and not any other string.
Sometimes a lot of chords are listed that may add colors to the song. The beginner tries to keep it simple, don't play every chord which is recorded. It is not necessary every time to play all the chords. You can drop some problematic chords and play the easy ones. Most of the beginners do not sometimes realize that there are many ways to play every music. There is not just one form, and you can find many more natural ways to play the guitar. The beginners must learn to transpose keys so that you can find out the key to simplify the chord forms. There are also online tools and pocket reference cards for beginners that make the guitar learning easier for beginners. The online tools help you to calculate new key automatically. When there is no internet access, then you can make use of the printed guide.
Capo chart is available for natural learning of the beginners. It is handy and easy to understand map for the beginner guitar players. Start playing power chords that will add rhythm to your playing. The root note of a chord and the note that is a fifth of the scale is the power card. Also, power chord can be substituted to any chord. String bending is also a proper technique to raise the note of a pitch gradually. Beginners can also try sliding in which transition from one letter to another is done without re- plucking the note. You can also make use of a technique called vibrato that allows you to modulate the pitch of the note quickly.
When the beginners start learning songs, they think that the only acceptable chords are the one that is written. But when you listen to a band playing, you will notice that everyone plays a slightly different note, pattern, chord or riff and these do not seem wrong too. So there are always complimentary chords or a substitute chord that you can play in a song. Sometimes it's difficult to get one form of the chord to another for the beginners. You can use the technique called full palm muting. In this instead of playing music, you can keep the song going by entirely muting the strings and strumming to the beat. It is an excellent technique as it fills in a few hits and your hands are repositioned for the next chord.


How are you feeling right now? Maybe you're happy, sad, excited, scared or something else entirely. One look into your eyes and the world knows — after all, the eyes aren't called the window to your soul for nothing! But, when the eyes are camouflaged by distracting wrinkles, bags or sagging skin, the message you're sending out may not be what you're really feeling inside. The way your eyes age might make you look tired or angry (not to mention old!) all the time.
When it comes to aging of the eyes, young and old alike complain about what bothers them the most. Santa Rosa, California-based Aesthetic Plastic Surgeon, Heather J. Furnas, M.D., says "sun damage and genetics play a major roll in how eyelids droop, wrinkle, and look aged." These and other variables determine whether you'll look old before your time.
The good news is, "as long as there is a clear indication for treatment and the patient has reasonable expectations and is healthy, it's never to early or late to treat these problems," says Furnas. Though eye creams can be a very effective solution for dark circles, for most other eye issues you'll need to dig a little deeper.
In your 20s: Occasionally congenital fat deposits of either the upper or lower lids and early crow's feet.
In your 30s: Early crow's feet, early hooding of the upper lids, and congenital bulging of the fat of the lower lids that becomes more pronounced.
In your 40s: Crow's feet, drooping of the lateral brows, hooding of the upper lids, bulging of the fat of the lower lids, lines and early folds of the lower lids. Tear troughs begin to deepen.
In your 50s: Same as above, but upper lid skin droops more, upper lid fat (especially alongside the nose) bulges more, lower lid fat protrudes more. Tone of the lower lids may start to relax. Lower lids skin may fall into deeper folds. The upper lid may begin to droop so that it doesn't open as widely as in youth (called "ptosis"). The skin thins and becomes crepy.
In your 60s: The above process progresses. Peripheral eyesight may be obscured by hanging skin. Tone of the lower lid may begin to worsen.
In your 70s+: Worsening of all of the above.
EXTRA SKIN/BULGING FAT: Blepharoplasty of upper and lower lids. This can be combined with laser or chemical peel. Ptosis repair can be done for the inability of the upper lid to fully open. The lax lower lid can be surgically tightened.
DEEPENING TEAR TROUGHS: Filler or fat injections or fat repositioning during blepharoplasty.

Chinese Millennials Are Clicking Up a Storm Buying Asian Property Online
manch March 7, 2019, 5:04am #1
Bloomberg: Chinese Millennials Are Clicking Up a Storm Buying Asian Property Online
Ice Chen, a 36-year-old bank manager in Beijing, hasn't been to Bangkok lately, but she just bought two apartments there.
The millennial is among younger Chinese flocking to specialist online platforms to buy international real estate.
The biggest of the sites, Uoolu.com, reported a 60 percent surge in transactions to 5 billion yuan ($740 million) in 2018 and predicts a doubling this year. Much of the money is flowing to destinations in Southeast Asia, where prices look cheap compared to Beijing or Shanghai.
Convenience is the lure. Buyers can select a property within hours by making an initial payment of less than $1,500. As a one-stop-shop, Uoolu is also a conduit for purchasers to get mortgages from overseas banks, find tenants and collect rent. Among buyers, about half purchase without visiting the property, while about 22 percent buy sight unseen and all online, without phone calls or a face-to-face meeting with an agent.
Thailand was the most popular destination last year for Chinese buyers searching through Juwai.com, a site for international properties. Buyers from mainland China and Hong Kong bought about 15,000 new Bangkok apartments, half of all purchases by foreigners, the research provider estimates.
For the likes of Chen, the bank manager, however, the click-to-buy approach has worked well enough for now. She's happy with a 6 percent rental return on her Thai homes, which were purchased by selling a Beijing apartment that generated just a third of that.
In Bangkok, the "prices are much lower, the climate is good, it's suitable for retirement life, and also easy to rent," Chen said, browsing booths at a Beijing forum where developers from the U.S. to Indonesia were advertising projects.
Now, she's plotting her next purchase – maybe in Cambodia.

Ensuring every child has access to proper education
Denver Preschool Program pilots, expands programming to meet families' needs
Anna Lee, 3, works on a project during class time at her preschool. The Denver Preschool Program helped the Lee family of Denver send both Anna and her sister, Elizabeth, 4, to preschool.

Elisa Kim Lee and her husband, Chanyang, are happy to see that because of a preschool education, their young children are learning to write their names and use English, and they get to do enriching, hands-on activities every day.
"But the best is that they are learning to integrate in a society where they can learn diversity and inclusion," Elisa Kim Lee said.
The Lees wanted to send their children to preschool. All of their family members live abroad, so they could not depend on family for childcare. But they could not afford preschool on their own, so the Lees had no choice but to have one parent stay home and provide full-time childcare.
"I wanted to give my kids the best, but at home, we faced a lot of limitations as parents," Elisa Kim Lee said. She added that at home, there were challenges with being able to provide education and discipline.
Now, however, the Lees' two children — Elizabeth, 4, and Anna, 3 — attend the Primrose School at Colorado Station in Denver's University Hills neighborhood.
"Without the Denver Preschool Program, we would not have been able to even consider a preschool education for our kids. We are very grateful for this program that gave our children (an opportunity) to receive a proper education for their age," Elisa Kim Lee said. "I (am) also grateful to the teachers who showed kind compassion and understanding to my children's transition of adapting to a new environment — without mom and dad."
Denver Preschool Program's mission is to get children ready for kindergarten by providing resources and funding assistance so that all Denver families are able to send their children to preschool. It got its start in 2006 and is funded by a sales tax ballot initiative that Denver voters approved two years prior. Every 10 years, it goes back to voters for re-approval, said Elsa Holguin, president and CEO of Denver Preschool Program.
There was a need for DPP before the pandemic, Holguin said, mentioning that sending one child to a quality preschool can cost $1,300 a month, or more, which can equal approximately the same amount as a family's housing costs.
But in 2020, DPP went into "crisis response," Holguin said. "We were super concerned about the children, but also for the providers being able to stay in business."
DPP got to work providing both emergency and innovative funding through several new projects and pilot programs.
In addition to expanding its scholarship program to more families — scholarship recipients get 100% of their preschool tuition covered — new pilot programs include expanding the DPP program to 3-year-olds, and Bonus Preschool Year funding for 5-year-olds.
Serving 3-year-olds has always been a need, Holguin said. She added that when families can send their children to preschool a year earlier — at age 3 versus 4 — it gives parents the opportunity to go to work.
The Bonus Preschool Year is for families who decided their child was not quite ready for kindergarten, Holguin said. This has been especially helpful for children who were attending preschool at age 4 last year, during the COVID-19 shutdowns and remote learning of 2020, Holguin added.
"The Denver Preschool Program is proud to have been available and responsive in serving our children, families and providers more deeply during the ongoing pandemic," Holguin said.
DPP has also provided Strengthening Grants to preschools, Holguin said. These include stipends, and retention and recruitment bonuses for teachers.
Compared to 40% nationally, only six of the 250 preschool providers that DPP works with closed in 2019/2020, Holguin said. But, a few opened since then, and DPP now has 262 quality preschools it works with. While that is a positive report, DPP still has concerns about the workforce.
"We want to make sure to have some very real conversations," Holguin said.
These conversations will entail teacher pay, and stating a clear goal of ensuring that the preschool workforce is sustainable and is paid fairly, Holguin said.
This goes along with DPP preparing for Universal PreK in Colorado. DPP is working with the state on a universal application to help streamline the process for parents.
DPP also plans to expand its services. Currently, universal preschool for the 2023-2024 school year will be 10 hours a week, Holguin said.
"We will still need to supplement," she said, "and meet families where the need is."
This could be full-time preschool hours and/or extended day preschool options for families who need childcare before 8 a.m. and after 3 p.m.
Having started 14 years ago, DPP's first-year preschoolers are now, or will be soon, preparing for college, Holguin said. So as DPP is working with the state on how to implement universal preschool across Colorado, DPP is also waiting to hear what will happen concerning universal preschool nationwide. Because of its local success, DPP is confident that it can serve as a national model, Holguin said.
Elisa Kim Lee said that DPP never left any of her questions unanswered and served as "kind guidance from the other side of the phone."
"Every child has potential," Lee said. "This program is an investment that makes potential bloom and be successful. That child — and every child — can make, and will make, a difference and impact in their community in the future."

Faubourg é um termo arcaico francês que significa aproximadamente "subúrbio" (hoje em dia geralmente denominado banlieue). A sua forma mais primitiva é Forsbourg, derivado do latim foris, 'fora de', e da vulgata (originalmente germânica) burgum, 'cidade' ou 'fortaleza'. Tradicionalmente, este nome aplicava-se a uma aglomeração formando-se em torno de uma via ou caminho dirigido para o exterior a partir de uma das portas da cidade, e habitualmente levava o nome que a mesma via tinha através da cidade.

Os faubourgs são muitas vezes considerados como os precursores dos subúrbios europeus, a partir dos quais estes evoluíram, de uma forma geral, por 1950-60. Embora os subúrbios iniciais ainda conservassem algumas das características dos faubourgs (tais como travessas e becos com portas, pouco espaço entre as casas, etc.), os subúrbios mais tardios sofreram grandes mudanças na sua construção, fundamentalmente em termos de densidade residencial.

Além das muitas cidades francesas, os faubourgs podem ainda ser encontrados fora da Europa em lugares que incluem a província do Quebec, no Canada, e a cidade de Nova Orleães, na Louisiana. As cidades do Quebec e Montreal contêm exemplos de faubourgs, embora Montreal tenha muito maiores divergências em termos de banlieue, levando a muitas semelhanças com muitos subúrbios americanos e do Ontário.

New York City has increased spending on housing homeless people in shelters in recent years, but the population continues to hover at more than 60,000 despite efforts to move many into permanent housing, a new city report shows.
During the 2017 fiscal year, the city spent an average of $99 a day to house single adults in facilities in New York City, according to a management report released Monday by Mayor Bill de Blasio. In fiscal year 2018, that number grew to $117 a day.
The increased cost reflects a larger investment in service providers, repairs and security at shelters, according to New York City's Department of Homeless Services.
The cost of housing homeless families was also more expensive in fiscal year 2018, when more than 22,340 children were living in shelters. During that time, the cost to house families with children averaged $192 a day, up from $171 in fiscal year 2017. In fiscal year 2014, it cost the city an average of $102 each day to house shelter families with children.
Meanwhile, the cost to house adult families rose in fiscal year 2018 to $147 each day, compared with $138 a day during the same period a year earlier, according to the report.

Jazz Art Cover Winner Announced
Freshman student takes home the win
Lauren Stangl
The 2017 Jazz Art Cover Design award-winner is by Kennedy freshman Lauren Stangl.
Madylin Kircher, Writer
Lauren Stangl, fr., is taking home $100 for her win in the Iowa Corridor jazz art cover contest.
She learned about the contest from art teacher Amanda Finley, who challenged students in Foundations of Art class to come up with a cover.
"It was a lot of fun creating the design," Stangl said. "Knowing that you can create something that will be used for other people's enjoyment means a lot to me."
On Monday, March 6, the jazz band will perform at The Paramount Theater in Cedar Rapids. Stangl's cover will be displayed and she will be recognized her for her participation in the contest.
Stangl's friends encouraged her to enter, as it was optional to actually submit a design, and she ended up submitting two.
"To be honest, the other design I created I liked much better," Stangl said.
Her favorite color served as the main shade and Stangl's color inspiration was incorporated twice more in the design, which also features a musician playing a saxophone against a nighttime city scene.
In middle school, Stangl played the saxophone and the instrument is also her favorite among the jazz family. She was inspired by including the background of the city at night because she is a self-proclaimed night owl.
"I was shocked to say the least [about the win]," Stangl said. "When I read the email I was stunned all I could think was that I had won. All in all, I was really happy that my design was chosen."
