When it comes to digital marketing, my opinion is strong on integrating both long term and short term tactics to help a business grow.
Search engine Optimization usually takes time to gain rank on the first page for Google and Bing search results. This long term strategy, when properly executed, pays off for many months and years. Having your business listed in the top 5 to 10 spots on important keyword searches will gain you more traffic and hopefully more customers.
It takes weeks, if not months or longer to gain first page rank. There are many factors involved and competition for the keywords is something you will need to understand. The more competitive keywords you target the longer it might take to rank. It is absolutely worth the wait and you should start this tactic now, if you have not already.
Google Adwords are a quick way to buy clicks and show up on top for competitive keywords. Use Adwords while you are trying to rank organically. You will see immediate results, but it is not cheap. You will pay per click each time someone clicks your search ad, so make sure the landing page they hit is designed properly to convert.
I suggest using a Google Certified Partner to execute your Adwords campaigns. You could waste a lot of money trying to figure out Adwords and how to optimize their keyword phrase matching versus broad match.
Facebook advertising is incredible for short term marketing wins. We have great success running ads targeting custom audiences and interest groups. Don't confuse Facebook Ads with boosting page posts though. I personally feel that page post boost are a waste of money if you are looking for clicks to a website.
I like ads with a purpose and measurable results. We use ads to send people to targeted landing pages on our client's websites and track the conversions. The results are usually very impressive.
When deciding on how to plan your digital marketing strategy, make sure you implement all three tactics above for best results.

Location of Lilycove Department Store in Hoenn.
The Lilycove Department Store (Japanese: ミナモデパート Minamo Department Store) is located in Lilycove City in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald and Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Its slogan is "Overflowing with great merchandise and excitement! A great place to find that something you need!" in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald and "Overflowing with great merchandise and excitement! A great place to find that exact something you need!" in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
The receptionist on the left welcomes visitors, and the one on the right runs the Pokémon Lottery Corner, with the winning number changing daily. Prizes are awarded for winning numbers, which must match any of the player's Pokémon's ID numbers from the last digit to the first one.
The following items can be received as prizes from the Pokémon Lottery Corner.
This is where items to fulfill Trainers' basic needs are available, such as Poké Balls, Potions, mail, and other items.
This floor sells items that raise the stats of Pokémon.
In Generation III, this floor sells four offensive and four defensive TMs. In Generation VI, three more offensive TMs were added.
This floor sells furniture for Secret Bases.
In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, after completing the Delta Episode, Tate and Liza will appear on the 5th floor for a one-time scripted event.
This floor has a couple of Vending Machines and hosts a random rooftop sale, which is advertised beforehand.
In Pokémon Emerald, a Move Tutor here will teach a compatible Pokémon Substitute, but only once.
In Pokémon Emerald, during Groudon's and Kyogre's appearance in Sootopolis City, the rooftop is closed due to the weather.
In the Generation III games, after the player has entered the Hall of Fame, the Lilycove Department Store will randomly hold a rooftop sale, but this occurs quite rarely. They advertise their rooftop sale by using the Pokémon News station. Most of the items sold in the sale cannot be received by any other method, other than from the Trader.
In Generation VI, the Lilycove Department Store will hold a Clearance Sale on the roof every Saturday.
In the Ruby & Sapphire chapter, Wallace was taken to the Lilycove Department Store by Magma Admin Tabitha and forced to battle him. When Wallace gained the upper hand during the battle, Tabitha suddenly turned berserk, chasing Wallace up to the store's rooftop and hurling him against a Vending Machine. Knowing that Tabitha's suddenly savage behavior was due to contact with one of the colored orbs, Steven came to Wallace's rescue. He was soon joined by the Hoenn Elite Four. The store's rooftop was also where Steven passed his Champion title to Wallace.
The Lilycove Department Store is similar to the Goldenrod Department Store from Generation II, consisting of five floors and a roof. The primary difference is that it does not have a basement.


It's a fair bet that taxi companies may not have had the idea of shedding all their vehicles and still providing transportation services. Ditto hotels and real estate. However, they probably had plenty of debates whether to adjust maintenance processes, add credit card payment systems to cars, go to a different supplier of bedding, or replace the carpet in the lobby. Uber and AirBnB, top brands associated with the gig economy, are disrupting both industries without owning cars or beds.
Incrementalism can create a false sense of momentum and improvement when in fact it can be at best barely keeping up and at worst a waste of resources. It may result in an improved status quo that makes us feel good by doubling-down on past achievements and models, but does nothing to grow the business, delight customers, and engage employees. Here's five signs that what some may see as innovative, is really just incrementalism.
Still using the same metrics. In years past, IT organizations chased "99.999% uptime," the holy grail of "five 9's," as a way to prove their value. In 2016, IT proves value by contribution to business metrics, such as mobile apps that delight customers and result in higher net promoter scores. Leaders should be making sure they measure what's important today, not in past decades.
No increase in transparency. The days of "reports" that only get viewed by "upper management" should be long gone. Predictive (or preferably prescriptive) analytics need to be available to all employees to support continuous improvement and push decisions closer to the customer interaction. Holding onto metrics only at the top can signal a fear of disruption because it threatens power and control.
"Checking the box" or viewing compliance as progress. Compliance is doing the stuff that is right to do, that we have to do. Workplace safety. HIPAA. PCI. It's important but it isn't innovation. Another form of box-checking is gathering feedback for form's sake rather than substance. I see this manifested in the ubiquitous "employee focus group," usually an event where groups of people are asked for opinions. Getting feedback from employees and customers should be constant, so that it can be part of the innovation engine. Executives don't have all the answers; however we should be good at enabling ways to get the best answers. An organization that relies on periodic meetings to communicate and get feedback is dated.
Employee retention is higher than peers. Wait, what? Aren't we supposed to be happy about employee longevity? Well, maybe. Make sure retention isn't masking stagnation. If your employees aren't being recruited at least once in a while, it could be a sign that you aren't investing effectively in your workforce. We all have companies that when seen on a resume, cause us to pause. Don't be that company.
Everybody's happy. Most people desire progress, but not change. Culture will eat progress for breakfast (and lunch). Innovation requires provoking the "as is," asking the hard questions. While an organization in constant uproar is no good, if there isn't discomfort and disruption, then true innovation isn't happening.
Have been reading up on #Davos2016, where the World Economic Fund released a report that 5 million jobs will be lost as a result of technology. The job types and fields at most risk, healthcare and financial services among them, have a preponderance of women.
Welcome Centennials, those born 1997 and afterward. They believe in the value of higher education and are more resilient and pragmatic than Millennials.
Social media and digital strategy star @ValaAfshar is teaming up with industry expert @RWang0 on a monthly show … for now called #TheShow.
It is winter, and I know enough to buy ice melt and start my car a few minutes earlier to be sure to stay on schedule in the morning. Why don't airlines factor in deicing to their departure process in northern climes?
Wi-Fi should be like seat belts in airplanes. Just there and not an extra charge.
And while I'm sniveling about air travel, where's the Uber for that industry? Surely there are people flying their planes with empty seats from mid-Michigan to southern New Hampshire once in a while.
"Culture will eat progress for breakfast (and lunch)" is an amazing quote and is so true. As a follow up, how do organizations best know if they are making progress with cultural change?


Today was Day #6 of Chocolate and Berry Theme Week.
This Super Red Chocolate Bar from B.T. McElrath Chocolatier (Minneapolis, MN) contained 15% fruit -- dried tart cherries, strawberries and raspberries -- in 70% dark chocolate.
There are several bars I've tasted that contain crystalline bits of berry fruit. These, often colorful, berry bits seem a bit sweeter and more concentrated than mere chewy shreds of dried fruit; and they are occasionally more crystalline in texture as well. In any case, the berry pieces were a bit sweet, but were just fine for this bar.

Church honors religious victims of 1871 Paris Commune
The Archdiocese of Paris holding weeklong commemoration of Catholics who were killed 150 years ago by the revolutionary socialists that briefly ruled the French capital.
Representation of the execution of the Archbishop of Paris, Mgr Georges Darboy, on May 24, 1871.
HERITAGE IMAGES / LEEMAGE
By Rachel Notteau | France
In a narrow corridor of the Roquette prison in Paris, six priests were lined up before a firing squad on May 24, 1871.
Among them was the city's 58-year-old archbishop, Georges Darboy.
They were all executed by members of the Paris Commune, the revolutionary socialist government that ruled the city from mid-March to late-May 1871.
"We were only at the beginning of the bloody drama," wrote Pierre-Henri Lamazou in 1873.
The priest was a hostage who witnessed the executions on that fateful May 24. He was one of the fortunate ones who survived the massacres that occurred during the brief reign of the "Communards".
Two days later, ten other clerics and forty prisoners left the jail, escorted by a hundred soldiers.
They walked more than four kilometers, suffering under blows and spitting from the crowd.
At the end of the day, the procession arrived at the Cité de Vincennes on Haxo Street in the 20th arrondissement of the French capital. This is where the volunteer soldiers of the Commune had established their last command posts.
For the Communards, "neither God nor master"
Before taking action, some Communards tried to quickly organize a trial in order to respect the hostage law established on April 6, which stipulated that "any prisoner of war will be brought before the indictment jury".
But the general confusion prevented the court martial from taking place and the first shot was fired.
Henri Planchat, a Vincentian who was nicknamed the priest of the poor, was among those killed.
Others included Jean-Marie Sabatier, a diocesan priest of Paris, a seminarian named Paul Seigneret, three Jesuits and four priests from Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary (Picpus Fathers).
Their bodies were then thrown into a mass grave.
In two days, sixteen clerics in all were killed.
Other massacres against the clergy were perpetrated during the 1871 Commune: five Dominicans were killed on May 25 and other priests were murdered in the Roquette prison.
This tragic passage of history is sometimes overlooked because "the number of clergy killed is less than the total number of victims during the insurrection", says Stéphane Mayor, parish priest of Notre-Dame des Otages.
The church was inaugurated in 1938 in memory of these victims.
This is why the Archdiocese of Paris wished to commemorate these events on the 150th anniversary of the Commune, during which the Church paid a heavy price.
When the Communards seized the city on March 18, 1871, their message was clear.
"It's neither God nor master," summarized Jacques Benoist. The priest, who is an historian and theologian, has done extensive research on the subject.
The Communards first began their terror by looting and desecrating the churches of Paris.
In spite of this intimidation, which became more and more persistent, most of the priests and religious remained in the capital.
"Archbishop Darboy stayed because he wanted to be a witness for Jesus," says Benoist with admiration.
"The clergy never imagined that the Communards would achieve such atrocities," says Stéphane Mayor.
The Commune, "an attempt at an anticlerical revolution"
The arrests of clergymen began during Holy Week.
Benoist points out Archbishop Darboy was arrested on April 4 "by his nephew Henri Darboy, who sided with the Communards".
Then two days later, on Holy Thursday, Father Henri Planchat was taken hostage.
Most of these religious prisoners spent Easter in a narrow cell.
But a few of them came out alive from this revolutionary period, which ended on May 28, two days after the so-called Haxo Street Massacre.
"The Commune was an attempt at an anticlerical revolution," says Frédéric Mounier, former journalist for La Croix and author of the book Le Siège de Paris.
"The very clear link under the Second French Empire between the Catholic Church and the ruling power was inconceivable for the revolutionaries," he notes.
"It is very important to give an account of what they experienced. They were incredible men and good priests," assures Stéphane Mayor.
The Vincentians and the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary have opened the process of beatification for Planchat and the four Picpus Fathers who were killed during the Haxo Street Massacre.
"All that is missing is the approval of the pope," says Mayor.
The Parisian priest has hopes that their beatifications will be announced sometime before October.

This is what happens to you if you're a Jewish kid and you try to defend Israel against BDS during Apartheid Week. Nope. It's not Vassar or Oberlin. This time it's Wits University in Johannesburg, South Africa.
I wonder how much his parents are paying to send him to Wits to get educated in what it means to be hated. Because, you know, he could just read Israellycool for free.

Breaking: At least two killed as WWII-era bomber crashes in Hartford, CT
At least two people are dead with multiple others injured after a World War II-era B-17 bomber crashed at Bradley International Airport just outside of Hartford, Connecticut at 10 a.m. on Wednesday.
The bomber reportedly burst into flames after colliding with a building during an attempted landing. The plume of smoke is reportedly visible from miles around, with multiple accounts of the incident reaching social media within minutes of the crash.

— Dave Colavecchio (@dxdavec) October 2, 2019
Thus far, officials have not provided word on the total number of deaths, but multiple local outlets are already reporting that at least two people were ruled dead at the scene with at least six more hospitalized following the crash. It is not currently known if all of those involved were on board the aircraft or if any of the injured or killed may have been inside the structure the B-17 reportedly collided with.
"He was treetop level when I saw him," Laura Nolan, who witnessed the crash, told the press. "And one of the engines wasn't spinning." Nolan, who previously worked as a paramedic, sped the airport to offer her assistance but was turned away.
We can confirm that there was an accident involving a Collings Foundation World War II aircraft this morning at Bradley Airport. We have an active fire and rescue operation underway. The airport is closed. We will issue further updates as information becomes available.

— Bradley Intl Airport (@Bradley_Airport) October 2, 2019
Just prior to the announcement of the crash on Twitter, Bradley International Airport shared a local news piece pertaining to the Wings of Freedom bomber tour's arrival at the airport. Included in the planned celebration of World War II aviation are a P-40 Warhawk, a B-24 Liberator, a B-25 Bomber, a P-51 Mustang Fighter, and a B-17 — likely the one that crashed.
"We feel keeping history is all about giving you a hand-on experience. We bring these here to honor the veterans, to keep history alive, and keep young people engaged as well," said Debbie Bamber, from the Wings of Freedom Tour at the time. The exhibit was scheduled to be open through Thursday.
Angela Fletcher, who lives less than a half-mile from the airport, heard the bomber as it made its descent. She looked outside to find it flying much lower than she expected.
"It sounded like an 18 wheeler coming down the street and then it got louder. Like so loud, it was vibrating things in the house. I looked out the window, and I saw this giant old plane come over the house that was very close, like oddly close to the house…" she said.
"And then you heard like a pop pop. Almost like it was [the] engine. The engine was failing. And then it just continued over. So I didn't think too much of it. And then I heard all the sirens but it was dangerously close," Fletcher said.

Home > Indian Holidays > Gandhi Jayanti > Gandhi Jayanti 2014
When is Gandhi Jayanti in 2014?
The date of Gandhi Jayanti in 2014 is on Thursday, October 2nd.
What is Gandhi Jayanti?
Gandhi Jayanti is an Indian national holiday that celebrates the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, who is referred to as the "Father of the Nation." The term "Father of the Nation" is used sparingly to honor a man who is unanimously referred to as the driving force behind the founding of a specific country, state, or nation. Gandhi's birthday falls on the 2nd of October.
Indians celebrate Gandhi Jayanti 2014 by participating in services filled with prayer and hosting tributes across the country. Cities also hold painting and essay contests with the topics glorifying peace, non-violence and Gandhi's personal efforts as part of India's Independence movement.
It is also common for the Indian people to sing Gandhi's favorite Hindu devotional song titled "Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram" (Ram Dhun for short).
Gandhi Jayanti is one of the three Indian national holidays. The other two holidays are Republic Day, January 26th, and Independence Day, August 15th.
The distribution of alcohol is banned on Gandhi Jayanti, as well as the other national holidays, as the Indian government has designated these holidays as dry days.

For many years people have been proclaiming the demise of traditional search traffic and the death of the SEO industry that supports it. While Google has posted consistent revenue growth from its core search business for the last many years, the pundits are convinced that the proclivity of users to search on a search engine for new information is a relic of the past to be replaced by a rising always-on social media presence.
Every winter, the technology blogosphere is replete with thought pieces about how the coming new year will be the year of social or some innovation. While some may say that foretelling the growth of search in the coming year is akin to heralding the return of the palm pilot; I strongly beg to differ.
As someone who has spent the last decade deeply involved in constructing enterprise SEO strategies, I have felt that this couldn't be further from the truth. It is my opinion that if an organization chooses to believe that no one will search for them online, they are leaving the field wide open for their competitor to dominate the organic search results.
To understand where search stood as an information gathering tool, we asked questions that put users in specific scenarios. The motivation behind this line of questioning was to give a real-world scenario where a user might choose between search and other available options. As an example, we asked users to choose where they would most likely turn to find a new dentist. The motivation behind this line of questioning was to give a real-world scenario where a user might choose between search and other available options.
Not surprisingly for this kind of need, many people would choose to text or call a friend or family member for a suggestion; however, a higher number 36 percent would turn to a search engine. Only a very small minority of 5 percent would rely on social media. When this data was cut by age, millennials (18-34) were just as likely as the general population to use social media but were more likely to use search than those in the 35-64 bucket.
Social media may be a great option for gathering advice from a crowd, but when the suggestions really matter users still want control over how much and from where they gather information.
In total, search is still incredibly popular with 97 percent of people conducting at least one search per day. Within the 18-34 age bucket, millennials, the cohort most at risk of migrating to other information gathering sources, 62 percent of respondents conduct at least five searches per day.
Across all age groups, 52 percent of users claimed that nearly all of their daily searches were conducted on their phones and this number was even higher for millennials at 68 percent.
According to Pew, the usage of social media is still rising; however, only 69 percent of adults login every day. That's still a long way from taking over completely from search.
While the data showed that search is still a force to be reckoned with when compared to social media, the survey also revealed an interesting trend specific to mobile. Respondents were asked how they would go about searching for directions to a new address. Only 22 percent would enter the address into a search engine while 37 percent would go directly to the maps app on their mobile devices.
Fortunately for Google, they make the most popular maps app in the world; however users skipping the search box to go directly to an app is an indication of the sea change the naysayers have been touting for years. It's not too hard to conceive a future where users use another maps app not made by Google.
On the topic of new technology, voice search does not appear to be as popular as the hype would assume. Only 12 percent of users are conducting voice searches at least once a day and there isn't that much variability between age groups or gender. In total 36 percent of users have never used voice search. This data indicates that while a user base is building, the transition to a voice-search only world might just be a long time in the future.
When voice search takes off, we may see voice eclipse social media as a source of info as it has the advantages of conversational abilities and unbiased responses. Just like with traditional search, voice search will continuously improve as adoption of the technology grows.
The idea of searching the web with a set of phrases has been around since the launch of Archie in 1990. Even though the search arena has been the beneficiary of a myriad of innovations from AI to voice, the core concept remains unchanged. Given the level at which search has been integrated into people's daily lives and it's current usage rates based on the survey above, it is unlikely to decline any time soon.

ITALIAN MASTER (App S Hafis) broke through the gate and galloped a considerable distance.  To prevent further delay, the Panel of Stewards ordered the withdrawal of ITALIAN MASTER at 2.55pm and the gelding will be required to pass one starting stall test before being declared to race again.
KING WIN (CK Tan) jumped away awkwardly and was slow into stride.
SMOOTHLY (S Sandana) over-raced between the 1000M to the 800M.
TRIPLE ONE D'GREAT (App I Firdzriel) over-raced racing to the 800M and shifted ground in and out on several occasions.
KING WIN laid out from the 800M and as a consequence, COMMON SENSE (App KC Wong), caught outside, was taken wider and both horses raced wide from the 600M until entering the straight.
Jockey R Rueven, the rider of DIVERGENT reported that his mount was not striding out freely and was making respiratory noises.  A post-race veterinary examination of DIVERGENT revealed the gelding had returned lame near fore and as such, will be required to pass a test (1000m/vet) before being declared to race again.
Post-race veterinary examinations of COMMON SENSE, WAR LORD (M Yusri), CHIPS (J Low) and SMOOTHLY revealed no obvious abnormality.
NAZIR (R Rueven) had to be steadied to avoid the heels of FLYING DARCI (F Yap) racing to the 400M.
Approaching the 250M, FLYING DARCI shifted in, resulting in HALO BRIGHT (Z Khairil) racing tight and having to be steadied and shifted outwards to obtain clear running.   Jockey F Yap, the rider of FLYING DARCI was shown the vision of the incident and advised to exercise more care under similar circumstances in future.
Post-race veterinary examinations of HALO BRIGHT, FLYING DARCI   and BRAHMS AND LISZT (App L De Souza) revealed no obvious abnormality.
MR DREAMMAN and MAYWEATHER, both course scratching as they were bruised both fore  fetlock and had fever respectively,  will each be required to pass a veterinary examination before being declared to race again.
JACKWIN (R Rueven) and SOKOR GEDEBE (S Anandan) both raced wide from the 800M until entering the straight.
Post-race veterinary examinations of RACE FOR FAME (C Goon), ZHAN SHEN (App S Saddam), MAXIM DRAGON (J Low) and APROBACION (App J Daniel) revealed no obvious abnormality.
Acting on veterinary advice that MESSI (Z Khairil) was lame near fore, the Panel of Stewards ordered the withdrawal of MESSI at 4.24pm and will be required to pass a test (1000m/vet) before being declared to race again.
RUFFLE THE RUFFIAN (J Mallyon) over-raced in the middle stages and was very difficult to settle.
MARIO ATTILA (M Hanif) which was over-racing at the 1000M, raced onto the heels of EVIL TRAIN (App CK Khaw) and as a consequence, became unbalanced and struck the running rail.
MARIO ATTILA continued to over-race for some distance and was very difficult to settle.
EVIL TRAIN shifted out at the 100M and bumped LETHAL WEAPON (J De Souza) and continued to shift wider under the whip, finishing wider on the track.
SHUYING XIAOXIAO (App AM Aizat) which raced poorly, will be required to pass a test (1000m/vet) before being declared to race again.
Post-race veterinary examinations of PHANTASOS (S Anandan), SHUYING XIAOXIAO and LETHAL WEAPON revealed no obvious abnormality.
At the conclusion of an inquiry today, App CK Khaw, the rider of EVIL TRAIN in the presence of his acting master, Trainer K Coetzee, was found guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that shortly after the start, he shifted inwards when insufficiently clear of MARIO ATTILA, causing that horse to be checked onto LETHAL WEAPON and GET THE LOTSKI (F Yap), resulting in both these horses having to be checked.
In assessing the penalty, the Panel of Stewards took into consideration App CK Khaw's disciplinary record and mitigating factors.  App CK Khaw was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) Malaysian race days.
Acting on the provisions of MRA Rule 48(5), the Panel of Stewards deferred the commencement of App CK Khaw's suspension to take effect from Monday, 19th November 2018 and to expire on Saturday, 8th December 2018, both dates inclusive.  He was advised of his right of appeal (5.30pm).
MONSTER ENERGY, a course scratching as it had colic, will be required to pass a veterinary examination before being declared to race again.
Trainer PK Leong was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for failing to declare the use of pacifier on KING FORCE (App P Mogun) within the stipulated time.
WINGED FOOT (J Low) was examined by the Club Veterinary Surgeon behind the barriers and was passed fit to start.  KING FORCE jumped away awkwardly.
WINGED FOOT was slow to begin.
MY GOODNESS (J Chuah) had to be steadied racing to the 1100M to avoid the heels of ASPREY (App I Firdzriel).
ROSES FOR ME (R Rueven) had to be steadied racing to the 1000M to avoid the heels of TH MAXIMS (HK Cheng) which was racing greenly and over-racing.
BIG BANK (M Yusri) raced wide from the 700M until entering the straight.
TH MAXIMS raced greenly and shifted outward over the final 150M when being ridden with the whip in the left hand and as a result, took BIG BANK wider on the track.
ASPREY had to be checked at the 50M to avoid the heels of SAM THE MAN (App AM Aizat).
KING FORCE which raced poorly, will be required to pass a test (1000m/vet) before being declared to race again.
App P Mogun and Jockey J Low, the riders of KING FORCE and WINGED FOOT respectively, both reported that their mounts were not striding out freely.  Post-race veterinary examinations of KING FORCE and WINGED FOOT revealed no obvious abnormality.
App J Daniel who rode his 40th winner on NOBODY'S FOOL, will be entitled to claim 2kgs with effect from Monday, 12th November 2018.
Post-race veterinary examinations of ASPREY revealed that the gelding had returned broken-winded and BORN A FIGHTER (Z Khairil) revealed no obvious abnormality.  ASPREY will be required to pass a test (1000m/vet) before being declared to race again.
The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that MY GOODNESS returned having cast its near fore plate.
PROVOCATEUR, a course scratching as it had sustained a bruised near fore fetlock,    will be required to pass a veterinary examination before being declared to race again.
LION CONQUEROR which was down 16kgs in body weight since its last run, was checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon prior to the race and was passed fit to start.
SOUTHERN CHIEF (F Yap) was examined by the Club Veterinary Surgeon behind the barriers and was passed fit to start.
LION CONQUEROR (App S Saddam) jumped away awkwardly outwards at the start, resulting in FLYING WINNER (App S Hafis) and BATTLE HORSE (M Hanif) being taken wider and losing its position.
BATTLE HORSE over-raced passing the 900M and shifted ground.
PACHELBEL'S CANON (App AM Aizat) raced wide from the 800M until entering the straight.
LION CONQUEROR shifted out under whip-riding racing to the 150M, resulting in D'GREAT SONG (HK Cheng) being forced outwards onto the heels of PACHELBEL'S CANON and had to be checked.  An inquiry into this incident will be held on a date to be fixed.
LION CONQUEROR continued to shift out, approaching the finish and brushed PACHELBEL'S CANON.
Over the final 150M, RUSSELL THE CROWE (App L De Souza) shifted out, resulting in LION CONQUEROR being taken out, bumping PACHELBEL'S CANON.
App KC Wong, the rider of PORSENCE reported that his mount was not striding out freely.  A post-race veterinary examination of PORSENCE revealed no obvious abnormality.
Post-race veterinary examinations of  SILVER WIND (CK Tan),  RUSSELL THE CROWE and LION CONQUEROR revealed no obvious abnormality and SAVAGE STORM returned lame near fore and as such, will be required to pass a test (1000m/vet) before being declared to race again.


An oral motor disorder is the inability to use the lips, tongue, jaw and cheeks for functional speech or feeding. Problems with chewing, sucking, blowing or making certain speech sounds may occur.
Oral motor disorders can be acquired (secondary to stroke and other neurological conditions) or due to unknown origin.
Early intervention and intensive therapy can make a significant difference for both speech and feeding issues. PROMPT Therapy and Sara Rosenfeld Johnson's Talk Tools are two effective programs used at Bodylink Speech Therapy for treatment of oral motor disorders.


Recently I bought a HCIGAR VT75 nano (DNA75).
Trying the "Production Utility" test, I face the below error.
I have attached a Kanthal resistor of 1,7 Ohm according to Steam Engine and the VT75 reads it at 1,66.
Either leaving the default Fire Time (5s) or change it to 1,2,3 or 7, the error is here.
Changing a bit all the other parameters have no effect.
The same error exists either leaving the existing settings or restore/reload the defaults.
The test has been conducted with the resistor without and with fully wet cotton.
If uncheck the "Fire Test" box, the result is "Action succeeded", but it is useless of course.
I didn't test the VT75 before loading the latest version and I don't know if the same error could be occurred.
What firmware file and settings file are you loading? Are you creating a "new" one or trying to "open" a file? Why are you wanting to run Production Utility?
Production Utility: For use by manufacturers and modders. Uploads device specific settings to the attached DNA and tests functionality.
I loaded the latest firmware and restored the default settings by clicking the appropriate button.
I thought it could be used by an ordinary user to test the mod functionality.
So it is used by manufacturers or modders!
Thank you for your answer and the clarification.

On this 150th birthday of the great nation of Canada, we'd like to congratulate you on being so awesome! Specifically, being awesome givers! Canada is one of the most generous nations in the world - with our time, money, and good humour. Here's our top seven congrats!
The vast majority of Canadians (82% of our population!) aged 15 and over make financial donations to charitable or non-profit organizations.
2. And the giving is personal.
In 2015 average Canadians gave $9.1 billion of their personal money to charity.
3. We sacrifice our time to help others.
As Canadians, we don't only give our money - we also give our time. In 2013, 12.7 million Canadians - that's 44% of the population aged 15 and older - sacrificed their personal time to volunteer work.
4. And time is money!
In 2013, Canadians devoted 1.96 billion hours to volunteer activities, a volume of work equivalent to about 1 million full time jobs.
5. We give love globally.
And we don't just take care of our own, we also spread the love beyond our borders. In 2015 Canadians gave $1.3 billion to international aid organizations (like FH!) to help people who aren't even Canadian. Talk about generous!
6. Our seniors lead by example.
Let's hear it for our seniors! Those aged 75 and over gave the most per year - an average gift of $726.
7. Little cities are making a big difference.
And last, but not least, a shout-out for Abbotsford, BC (FH's home base in Canada). The good citizens of Abbotsford regularly donate 2% of their income to charity - roughly two and a half times the Canadian average. In 2015 they gave $85 million! They also had the highest median donation in the country for the 14th year in a row at $720, nearly $300 more than any other city in Canada.
So happy birthday, Canada, and thanks for being awesome!


The woods surrounding our home are full of old homesites and old dump sites, both having exciting appeal to our children. I am forever sorting through the piles of "treasure" that are brought home, and having to remind myself, "okay-it's more important that they get to have these adventures and discover these wonderful (sometimes lovely, oftentimes ugly) things–than it is for me to have a tidy yard." My kids are admittedly also learning to hide their "treasures" from me to keep them safe from the recycling can.
There is a huge hedge of sorts on our property that Seth named "Bushroom (rhymes with mushroom) Doors," many many years ago. Currently it is home to a big collection of bottles and jars filled with their homemade black walnut dye. I am not sure that they have a plan for the dye, they just enjoy making it.
This week, Seth made the thrilling discovery of ruffled daffodils naturalized around and old homesite. He is especially in love with daffodils. Everyone insisted that I join them on an adventure to visit the flowers, and Larkspur led me there. There is something magical about these old places, and I wish I could tell whomever planted those daffodils, decades ago, that we are still appreciating them.
And of course, I never complain about handfuls of flowers being carried home.

Q: D3--Using div to place SVG Element I'm trying to understand how to use a Div to place an SVG element on a page....our code looks like this: (excuse that there's a million things that could probably more clean with it...)
I am trying to put the Div in the body, giving it an id, and then putting my SVG element into it. the div is squares, i call the squares div under the legend's SVG element, and then the legend disappears and i just get a div....what gives?

        });

    </script>
    </body>

A: As per my comment above, make sure you select correctly. Currently, you are setting up the div with an id (and no specific class), thus you have to select it as:
var legend = d3.select("div#squares")...

Alternatively, you could apply a class to the div (can't say what's better - depends on what you plan to do with it)
To get an idea about selectors, see e.g. here: http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_selectors.asp

Did you know your complete water park family vacation at America's biggest waterpark is even closer than you thought? Great Wolf Lodge's newest location in Georgia is now open. Located just about an hour outside of Atlanta in La Grange, Great Wolf Lodge Georgia is now taking reservations! The hotel and resort facilities have so many exciting things unique to the Georgia location. Check out our visits to other Great Wolf Lodge locations.
Great Wolf Lodge's indoor waterpark is definitely the front and center attraction and why so many families will come.
The two new slides are not only new to Great Wolf Resorts, they are one-of-a-kind slides developed for Great Wolf Lodge Georgia by noted slide manufacture ProSlide.
Triple Thunder: This group raft ride combines two of most thrilling water park attractions available into one pulse-pounding slide. The ride starts by plummeting guests down a steep drop and into a funnel, where they will experience sensations of weightlessness as the raft sloshes up-and-down the funnel walls. Upon exiting the funnel, the raft swooshes towards two saucers. The saucers provide additional excitement as guests hurl at maximum speeds along the bank of the saucer, swirl 180-degrees and exit through a narrow passageway – all in the dark. A few extra twist and turns await after the saucers before riders finally plunge into a catch pool at the bottom of the slide.
Rapid Racer: This two-person tube racing slide features plenty of thrills with drops, chutes and serpentine curves. As riders emerge from the exhilarating 180-degree and 360-degree banked curves, they enter a section with open racing lanes where they can see and hear their competition on the other side of a low separator wall.
The slide features three rally points where guests can see their competition as both careen down this incredibly fun water attraction.
Their family tube rides are a big hit, too and you can see just how big they are (this picture is from the hard hat tour last year!) As you can see the park has come a long way!
Fort Mackenzie: Multi-level tree house water fort that combines suspension bridges, treetop slides, swinging cargo nets and spray stations. The park's signature tipping bucket dumps one thousand gallons of water every four minutes.
Totem Towers: Two three-story body slides attached to Fort Mackenzie.
Otter Run: A family friendly body slide and a sure-fire favorite, Otter Run is perfectly sized for small and tall alike!
Slap Tail Pond: Gigantic wave pool complete with waves reaching up to three feet in height as they roll through every five minutes.
Cub Paw Pool: Zero-depth entry children's pool with water fountain features, kiddie slides and spray-and-play adventures.
Whooping Hollow: This play pool is filled with perfectly sized water slides for young pups. Gentle slopes and tiny dips and turns make these the go-to attractions for the "under 52 inches" set.
There will also be a massive outdoor resort pool with water attractions and an exclusive, adult-only oasis near the outdoor pool with a private hot tub!
Rest assured, there are more thrills to be found beyond the water. After all, there is nearly 500,000 square feet of entertainment space and lodging to enjoy. I can't wait to see the 40,000 square foot Great Wolf Adventure Park all finished up. (You can even visit here for the day without staying at Great Wolf Lodge) which include Howlers Peak Ropes Course.
You will also find Howl in One Miniature Golf Course, Ten Paw Alley family bowling, Northern Lights Arcade, and Rustic Ridge, a climbing rock wall.
Not to be forgotten are Great Wolf Lodge favorites, MaqiQuest a live-action adventure game and Scoops Kids Spa where you will find ice-cream themed manicures and pedicures.
Our girls had a great time at Scooops on a recent visit. Your kids will also not wan too miss Yoga Trails, crafts, interactive science experiments and nightly story time.
A new amenity to Great Wolf Lodge, H.O.W.L. (Habitat of the Wild Learning), will provide a parents-free, supervised kid club so parents can enjoy the adult only areas knowing their children are safe in the evenings. The club will provide fun, educational activities for families during the day.
The space will give guests the feeling of being in the Northwoods forest with a Great Wolf Kids cabin. This cabin serves as both a backdrop for a multidimensional stage and a play space that houses an assortment of interactive activities. During the day, families can visit and participate in complimentary activities like craft-making, sketching, coloring, games and more.
But, in the evening, the space will offer structured, parent-free secure programming specifically designed for children ages 4-12. Many of the same types of activities will take place as well as family movies. To start, the secured programming will only be available during a four-hour time period in the evening with two designated drop off times — one that includes dinner and one without. This secured programing will include a nominal fee.
Camp H.O.W.L. will offer three unique program themes for the evening supervised events. The themed programs will rotate throughout the week and include "The Great Outdoors, Indoors" where kids will learn the basic essentials of camping, "All Living Things: Exploring Animals A-Z" where children will explore all things animals, and "Bugs, Bark and Blooms, Oh My!," which will dive into nature, insects and more.
Great Wolf Lodge Georgia is also going to have a number of grown-up activities at the resort.
In fact, they are debuting at Great Wolf Lodge Georgia Northwoods Springs, an adults-only oasis adjacent to the outdoor pool offering a respite for parents. Featuring a private hot tub and relaxing lounge chairs, Northwoods Springs will be exclusive to guests 21 and over.
Parents and adults will be able to enjoy Barnwood, an upscale dining concept. The menu is sourced from ingredients found within a 100-mile radius of the resort ensuring freshness and an ever-changing array of dishes based on seasonality.
Parents can find craft cocktails in the water park or relax by the fireplace in the Grand Lobby.
Adults can choose from a curated selection of food and wine pairing options and have it delivered straight to their hotel room and have a little date night in. If parents are waiting until after the kids go to sleep, no worries, the resort will alert guests with a text message when the treats arrive as to not wake the sleeping wolf pups.
There will be 457 guest suites made up of eight suite types with standard rooms starting at $199.99. What I love about their suites is that they fit 6 people. So our family can all stay in one suite together without having to get a bigger room. They also have suites that sleep up to 13 with separate bedrooms and bathrooms. The camping look is carried through into the rooms with outdoor scenery and appearance. They are always paying attention to detail at Great Wolf Lodge.
There will be several restaurants including Barnwood, a farm to table restaurant, Hungry as a Wolf, serving handcrafted pizzas and pastas and a new Food Hall. This Food Hall is a new concept for the brand which will offer multiple-types of prepackaged as well as ready-to-eat items to appeal to all eaters with Campfire Kitchen, and a Tex-Mex concept taco bus.
Their kitchens are all also peanut and tree nut free. And allergy concerns are always addressed with the chef coming out and talking to the individual. I'm so thankful they offer this and take things seriously. They serve most things already gluten free which means I can enjoy some chicken nuggets!
I'm hoping to head back in a few months and take in Great Wolf Lodge Georgia to see it in all of it's glory and sure, maybe I'll take the kids! We all have a great time at Great Wolf Lodge…and we all sleep really well, too!
One of these days we will book a trip to Great Wolf Lodge. I have only heard good things about it.
PS – Love the ears on the hard hat.
OMG how cute are you in that Wolf helmet?????? I need to take Red here. He would LOSE IT for those slides!
