OK Go played a sold-out show at Avalon last year.
As a Santa Clara native and a hard-rock fan, Beard knew that Y&T lead singer Dave Maniketti lived not far from the club, and decided one day just to walk over to his house.
Beard didn't think much of it at the time.
Fittingly, perhaps, Y&T will play the last-ever show at the Avalon, on the day the club is set to close, June 30.
"It's kind of come full circle," says Beard.
There's some symmetry, too, to the "Last Days of Avalon' show this Friday at the Santa Clara club. Headlining will be El Chicano, the L.A. group known for hits like "Tell Her She's Lovely' and "Viva Tirado' in the 1970s. A documentary about the band, In The Eye of the Storm, was filmed at the Avalon in 2009.


Regular customers at Quo Vadis in Soho, a restaurant that has been open more or less continuously since 1926, will know that in its present incarnation certain treats are always on the menu. Among these, listed in the section of salty, savoury things you might just enjoy with a pre-dinner sharpener, are kickshaws, which are deep-fried pastry parcels, usually with a chicken filling. Another is bloater paste, a light pâté of cured herrings topped with clarified butter that is delicious served on good brown toast.
These are old-fashioned delights. The word "kickshaw" is a scornful Anglicisation of the French quelque chose – "some odd thing or other" – whose history can be traced to the 16th century: a supper of "a joint of mutton and any pretty little kickshaws" is prepared for Falstaff in Henry IV, Part 2. Bloater paste, meanwhile, has a Dickensian air: it makes you think of pea soupers and a stinking Thames – though this is very unfair. When Peggotty in David Copperfield refers to herself as a "Yarmouth bloater", what she means is that she is a plump, sweet and delicious character, one whom any man with blood in his veins would admire (traditionally, the best bloaters come from Great Yarmouth).
Lee and I are talking about Grigson, the Observer's celebrated cookery writer, by way of marking the anniversary of her death, 25 years ago this month (she wrote for the paper every Sunday from 1968 right until the end). Loved by readers for the dextrous way she combined scholarship with sound advice – her recipes, succinct but never vague, are difficult to muck up – she left behind at least a dozen books that might reasonably be called classics, each one fat with recipes, history and stories. And yet – the thought seems to occur to us both at the same moment – she is, at least compared to her friend and mentor Elizabeth David, relatively little known today, particularly among younger cooks. A couple of her books have even fallen out of print. How can this be, in this the food-obsessed 21st century? It is, we agree, completely unfathomable.
"And all the more so because she has been so fantastically influential," says Lee. As he points out, her kind of food has never been more popular, even if people don't realise this is what they're eating. ("Those who know her books, and love them, feel this neglect as a gross insult," he says. "But those who don't, well…") Think not only of Quo Vadis, or of St John a little way east, but also of younger, hipper establishments such as the revamped Quality Chop House in Clerkenwell, or its new sister restaurant, Portland, or the Sportsman at Seasalter in Kent, or any number of other places. Grigson would have loved them all.
How to explain this relative obscurity? Answers are hard to come by. "I can't, really," says Jill Norman, a former publisher of Grigson's. "So much that she wrote about is important now: foraging, for instance, and regional food. It certainly has nothing to do with the books, because the erudition in them is worn very lightly, and everything in them is just… right." Prue Leith, another friend, agrees: "Oh, she was way ahead of her time in terms of the glory of the carrot!" Simon Hopkinson, a longtime fan, wonders if it doesn't have something to do with a certain kind of snobbery, for while Elizabeth David had a complex private life and a flinty, rackety glamour that was all her own – exactly the kind of charisma that attracts biographers and producers of BBC4 biopics – Grigson was known only for being generous, warm, kind and, above all, happily married.
"Perhaps people think of her as housewifely," he says. "You see, Jane is very practical, she wants to give you information, whereas with Elizabeth it's more a case of going to Amalfi to buy some lemons." He's joking, but what he says does chime with a well-known (and possibly apocryphal) story people like to tell about David and Grigson. It goes like this. On the telephone one day, Jane complained to Elizabeth that she was at a loss as to what to make for her young daughter's tea.
Is it possible to introduce Grigson to a new generation, one reared on pop-ups, TV competitions, recherché ingredients, endless queues for the right tables, allotment chic and dirty burgers? Surely it must be. If you want to know how to make, say, a comfrey fritter or jugged hare, then Grigson is your first port of call; she was Soho hip when the cooks at the likes of Duck Soup were still in nappies. But she can talk to the Bake-Off crowd, too: there is, for instance, a whole chapter devoted to tea in English Food. "I love her Sussex pond pudding," says Simon Hopkinson (this is a suet pudding with a whole lemon buried in its heart, and Grigson thought it the best of all English boiled puddings). "And if you've a glut of apples, then go straight to the fruit book." Jeremy Lee, meanwhile, thinks she's just the ticket as proper butchery enjoys its biggest revival since the war.
"She's very satisfying on terrines and pies," he says. "All the offcuts: she knows exactly what to do with them." As for me, well, if you're into "artisanal" ice cream look no further than her recipe for brown bread ice cream. Not only is it delicious, it can be made in the tiniest flat, with the tiniest freezer, for the simple reason that, miraculously, it needs no churning.
Jane Grigson was born in 1928 in Gloucester, where her father was the deputy town clerk; her mother, a "good, but dull cook", was an artist. When she was just four, however, the family moved to Sunderland. Wearside would have a profound effect on Jane – her books often include recipes from the north east – and a trace of it could be heard in her voice right until the end of her life; the sight of the city's slums also turned her into a socialist. During the war, though, the area was a favoured target of the Luftwaffe, and Jane and her sister, Mary, were sent to board at Casterton School near Kirkby Lonsdale in Cumbria. There, she was taught English by a Miss Bevis, whose encouragement helped her to win a place at Cambridge.
After university, she worked in a Cambridge gallery while furiously applying for posts at the V&A (she was fascinated by painting, silver and textiles). But again and again, having no real expertise, she was turned down. In 1953, then, she applied for a job as a picture researcher at Thames & Hudson, whose publisher George Rainbird had commissioned a vast encyclopaedia, People, Places, Things and Ideas.
This volume's editor was the irascible poet Geoffrey Grigson, who caught a glimpse of Jane through a crack in the door as she waited to be called to her interview. According to Joy Law, his colleague at Thames & Hudson, Jane was sitting primly upright, in a dark plaid dress with a neat voile collar, and a tiny hat perched on her tightly coiled blonde hair. "What an enchanting plump Dutch interior," murmured Grigson.
Jane got the job and, not too long afterwards, she got Grigson, too (he was not put off by the hat that looked "like a chamber pot"). The circumstances of their union were not particularly auspicious. Twenty-three years her senior, Grigson was still married to his second wife, with whom he had three children; he was permanently broke, and had a Webster-ish preoccupation with death, the result, no doubt, of too much early sorrow (three of Grigson's brothers had been killed in the first world war, and three during the second). He and Jane would not be free to marry for 20 years.
Theirs was a famously happy marriage, which ended only with Geoffrey's death in 1985, a loss from which Jane struggled to recover. "They lived for each other," says Jill Norman. "They were devoted to each other, utterly. When they met, he was much the better known, and she greatly regarded what he thought. But when she became successful, he fell happily into line behind her." They shared an abiding interest in the origins of things, in their roots. For Geoffrey, this revealed itself in such books as his classic guide to the British countryside, The Shell Country Alphabet.
Jane, on the other hand, always longed to know how a dish had come by its name, why it was popular in this or that place, and whether a recipe for it might be found in any 18th or 19th century text.
She seemed, if anything, to have a surfeit of ideas. The acclaimed and award-winning books that followed – among them Fish Cookery (1973), English Food (1974), The Mushroom Feast (1975), Jane Grigson's Vegetable Book (1978) and Jane Grigson's Fruit Book (1982) – had always to be edited down, reduced like good sauces.
Murrumbidgee cake, a boozy confection of crystallised fruit and nuts, takes its name from an Australian river. Nevertheless, a recipe for it is to be found in English Food – Jane had once been in the habit of buying it from a baker in north Oxford – and after I finish talking to Sophie, I go downstairs to look it up. Bath buns, seed cake, lardy cake, stuffed monkeys… The next time I glance at my watch, an hour has gone by.

Matt Worrel, of Lakewood, Colorado, is seeking to get an initiative on his state's 2008 ballot, to make lane-splitting legal.
Motorcyclists are only allowed to weave through cars if they are traveling at less than half the posted speed limit, and they can only pass at ten miles more than the slowest moving car.
Interestingly, another news publication, The Daily Sentinel, says the ballot initiative is headed up by a different person, Michael Graves.
Either way, in order for the ballot to reach public vote, proponents need to collect 76,047 signatures. This sounds like something Colorado ABATE should be taking care of.

A six-court netball complex was opened on the Hugh Hayward Domain at Ngatea by the Hauraki Plains Netball Association in April last. Costing just under $750,000 the facility will allow the association to met the increasing demands from Hauraki Plains players, both young and old, and also enable the popular sport to grow in a very efficient manner. The facilities could also be used for tennis during the summer months. The association was congratulated by both Hauraki District Mayor John Tregidga and the New Zealand Silver Fern coach Ruth Aitken on the manner in which everyone worked together to achieve excellent facilities which will also be an asset to the region. Netball was previously played on the Hauraki Plains College courts.
The $20 million Gold Discovery Centre proposed for Waihi has been given consent under the Resource Management Act, by the Hauraki District Council's appointed commission Peter Crawford. The project is a partnership between the Hauraki District Council, Newmont Gold Waihi and the New Zealand Mint. It is to build an underground centre which will tell the story of gold in New Zealand. The Hauraki District Council has pledged $665,000 to be paid over three years towards the capital cost. The gold company is gifting land and making geotechnical reporting, earthworks and land-scaping contributions. A hearing for affected parties of the construction was deemed unnecessary as all parties gave their consent.
A suitably engraved plaque has been erected under the only authentic Gallipoli Pine in New Zealand, which growing on the Paeroa Golf Club course in Rotokohu Road. The Turkish red pine , pinus brutia, has been DNA tested with the famous Lone Pine which stood on the skyline at Gallipoli during the ill-fated campaign in 1915. The history of the pine was outlined in Ohinemuri Regional History Journal No. 53 (2009). An Australian soldier brought a cone from the tree back to Melbourne with him and the seed were propagated. In 1955 Paeroa District High School teacher John Jensen, obtained three seedlings and these were planted on Tuikairangi Hill (Primrose), in front of the old Ministry of Works office site on the corner of Johnson and Waihi Road, now Ohinemuri Park (both these pines have disappeared) and on the golf course. This year Arthur Fletcher, a Second World War veteran and a Life Member of the Paeroa RSA, placed an Anzac Day poppy on the plaque to mark Anzac Day.
In April last the very popular Early Miners' Reunion was held for the 23rd time and a large number for former miners of the Martha Mine and Victoria Battery. This reunion is looked forward to by these early miners and arrive, supported by family and friends, to relive the past, catch up with work mates and share stories from bygone era. Many of those attended were in their eighties and nineties with the oldest being 93 years and who attended the Waihi School of Mines. Present day staff at Waihi Newmont Gold were present and were keen to talk to the guests of honour to compare working conditions between now and then. Buses took the group to the Waikino Railway Station where there were photo opportunities. The Goldfields Railway took the party back to Waihi and then onto the present mining operation. It was then back to the Waihi RSA Ingot Restaurant for lunch and further reminiscing. It was tremendous day and all were full of praise for Doreen McLoed who organised the memorable day.
The 17th annual Paeroa Highland Games and Tattoo proved to be a day out for the Scottish, and it was a success. There was on display of some 50 black Scottish terriers and white West Highland terriers and Highland cattle. There was also tossing the caber and similar men's events with New Zealand contestants trying their expertise against those from Scotland and Australia. There was also keen interest in the highland dancing with competitors from across the northern half of the North Island. The highlight was the street parade of some eight bands followed by the mass band display at the evening tattoo. The crowd was estimated to be around 6000, and they received their money's worth.
The kaumatua from Kerepehi, Tirohia, Tamatera, Matai Whetu and Ngahutoitoi joined the staff of the Paeroa Medical centre, last December, to welcome two new doctors to the district. Dr Barbara Loeliger, her husband and daughter Jara, 10 years, and Dr Scott Nagel, wife Polly and children Blair and John, 13, and Matthew, 11. They received a special blessing from Rev Colin Sutherland and Kerepehi Kaumatua Hemi Kaka extended a warm welcome. The Loeligers come from Switzerland while the Nagle family come from Virginia in the United States. Hauraki District Mayor John Tregidga, extended a welcome behalf of the wider district.
Four years ago a large slab of macrocarpa from a nearby farm, was given to the Netherton School for a school sign. The late Sam Kauhou, who was a keen supporter of the school and many of his whanua attended, received the timber along with a design from the senior pupils of the school. He took it to the Paeroa College, where he was the whakairo (carving) tutor. He, with his class of student carvers commenced the project. Unfortunately Mr Kauhou passed away before the project was finished and it was returned to his whanau. When Tama Dean was appointed the new tutor, negotiations with the Kaohou family, the Paeroa College and the Netherton School took place. The sign was returned to the college and was completed. The taonga or treasure was welcomed onto the school ground with a powhiri and by kaumatua Maatai Ariki Rawiri Kauae Te Toki. He said the taonga has arrived as a whakairo and now in place in front of the school it was a pou tohu, or a sign, which tells what this place is. Thanks were given by several speakers to all those who worked on the carving.
The Paeroa Rotary Club has recognised two residents with the prestigious Paul Harris Award, for service to the community which fulfils the ideals of Rotary for the betterment of the community. The presentations were made to club member Barry Williams and local resident Bruce Darvill at a special dinner to mark the visit of the Rotary Governor-elect Peter Signal, who presented both awards. Mr Williams has been exemplary member of Rotary. The club chosen Mr Darvill for his dedication to the community which includes CAPS Hauraki, the LIFE Education Trust, the Paeroa Highland Games and the Paeroa Community Support Trusts services.
Auckland sculptor Ms Lauren Kitts has completed a second works from Maratoto stone after two weeks of steady work in the Paeroa Domain. Called "Go with the Flow" the sculptor represents the water element so important to the Paeroa area. It employs the use of Maori motif carving to represent flowing water in a stylised way. The works stands 1.8m high, 60cm wide and 30cm deep, not quite as large the Anchor Stone carved last year and now in front of the Post Office, but is more intricate. The sculpture has been provisionally destined for Ohinemuri Park, near the L and P Bottle at the eastern entrance to Paeroa.
Newmont Waihi Gold has provided 46 laptop computers to the primary schools in the Waihi area instead of the annual grant of $10,000 dollars. Waihi Central, Waikino, Waihi East, Waimata, St. Joseph's and Waihi Beach, received between 4 and 13 computers, depending on school size. These schools have entered a three-year contract with the Ministry of Education to study how the use of information communication technology impacts on students' learning. The funding for the project "Waihi Wired" can only be used on staff development. The schools approached Newmont Waihi Gold as a collective about it funding computers. The company maintains that education was the future and this was one way the company invested in it. The company's ultimate dream is to have children, who go to school in Waihi, coming back in the future and working in the mining industry.

Good entries, keen competition and high speeds were the feature of the annual Hauraki Twin Rivers water ski race held in March and organised by the New Zealand Water Ski Racing Association. The event commences at the Ngatea Bridge over the Piako River, with boats pulling two or one skiers, travelled down the Piako River out into the Firth of Thames and then back up the Waihou River to the Puke Bridge, near the Historic Maritime Park, Paeroa, some 3kms from Paeroa. Speeds in excess of 100kms per hour were reached and there were no reported casualties.
The Hauraki District Council recognised the valuable contribution made by 11 volunteers and acknowledged 10 young achievers at a special Citizen's Awards evening last October.

Two of New Zealand's top Touch referees come from the Thames Valley, a feat that many much larger provinces cannot match. Maih Williams is No. 1 and John Dustow, is No. 4, both from Paeroa. Williams, a Paeroa College teacher, and John Dustow, a former police officer, received their rankings at the Touch New Zealand national tournament in March. Williams who held the No. 2 spot for the past three years is also making his mark as a coach, taking the Paeroa College senior girls side to runner-up spot at the secondary schools national championship. Both men have had the winter off, but will now be getting into shape for a full-on season ahead, with an international against Australia followed by the World Cup in Scotland and both have been invited to referee at this fixture.

As the largest contributor to Sierra Leone's GDP and the country's largest employer, we are committed to aligning our operations and strategies towards the ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption as set out in the UN Global Compact. We have maintained an active dialogue with...Human Rights Watch...for over 15 months and have repeatedly reiterated our commitment to being a positive force for economic and social change in Sierra Leone. While we respect the aims of HRW we do not agree with a number of their claims which we will be addressing at their symposium in Freetown...Nevertheless, we welcome constructive engagement with HRW and any other development organisations. The local communities that live in the surrounding area to our operations are extremely important to us, which is why last year, we invested US$3.63million in 22 local community projects. We have invested in excess of US$2 billion in the country to date and are very proud that our investment in people, training and teaching means that over 80 per cent of our workforce is made up of Sierra Leone nationals. Furthermore, we are pleased that our direct and indirect investment has contributed to Sierra Leone becoming the third fastest growing economy by GDP.

Q: How to apply new default kube-scheduler config? Kubernetes version 1.22. Cluster created by kops.
I'm trying to alternate default kube-scheduler config (adding profiles) as descibed here https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/config-api/kube-scheduler-config.v1beta3/#kubescheduler-config-k8s-io-v1beta3-KubeSchedulerConfiguration .
apiVersion: kubescheduler.config.k8s.io/v1beta3
kind: KubeSchedulerConfiguration
profiles:
  - schedulerName: default-scheduler
    pluginConfig:
blah-blah...

But simple kubectl command fails:
kubectl apply -n kube-system -f scheduler-config.yaml
error: unable to recognize "scheduler-config.yaml": no matches for kind "KubeSchedulerConfiguration" in version "kubescheduler.config.k8s.io/v1beta3"

The KubeSchedulerConfiguration is in "kubescheduler.config.k8s.io/v1beta3". Should I use some another command to apply it?
Thank you for any help!
/Serguei

A: OK, final conclusion was:

*

*I can't update kube-scheduler config via k8s API. The only way to update it is to start scheduler with the config as a parameter. To do this you need to have access to the master node CLI (or file system)

*kops has some support which allows kube-scheduler config: https://kops.sigs.k8s.io/cluster_spec/ via:

spec:
  kubeScheduler:
    usePolicyConfigMap: true
    enableProfiling: false

but it is going to be deprecated in kops 1.23: https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/issues/13352 . Whatever is new support is going to be not earlier than kops 1.25: https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/pull/13618
Conclusion - the only way to manage kube-scheduler config is via direct access to the master node filesystem and processes (to restart the scheduler)

Kingdom of Kaffa
Posted by Kumilachew Ambo on November 10, 2015 in Uncategorized
The kingdom is through the first legendary king Minjo have been founded. Minjo to the legend, not to have been born of a woman, but from a stone. In the oral tradition, the name of eighteen followers in the five-hundred-year history of the Empire is preserved. [3] The tradition was limited to special merits and exploits individual rulers. Were not given such circumstances, the corresponding ruling was not included in the tradition. Other sources are not available, so that the other rulers have disappeared in the darkness of history. [4]
Kaffa in the 16th century
The greatest extent reached Kaffa before the forays of the Oromo (formerly known as Galla). The empire included its vassal states could at this time from Sudan lowlands as far as the Rift Valley have passed and from the northern erosion furrow of Omo have extended to the south by the Omo, which both the territory of the Kingdom of Jimma and the the Kingdom Limmu within the had located the kingdom. [5]
In the 16th century Oromo began in the highlands of Abyssinia to settle and to found States and not to undertake only occasional forays. [6] Kaffa fought in numerous battles against the Oromo, but had to accept that it south to the area of River Goreb was pushed back. [7] After the fighting ended, the Kingdom intensified its contacts with the Ethiopian Emperor Sarsa Dengel (1564-1597), and Christianity was introduced. [7] Under the rule of Bonga-king (presumably 1565-1605 ) to have been divided into provinces the empire.He should Bonga took over from Matto-Clan and made the place for capital. He also said to have undertaken military expeditions to the north. [8]
Discovery History Kaffa from a European perspective
Map of Abyssinia (ca. 1690). The kingdom is listed as "Regno di Cafate".
Kaffa was because of its remoteness and seclusion from a European perspective with a "Tibet compared Africa".[9] The Kingdom was known by name and Europeans, but the reports that reached Europe were rather poor. The first mention of the empire as Cafa goes back to Manuel de Almeida in 1632. [7] It was not until the research of Europeans after the source of the Nile in the 19th century was to change this. First succeeded the missionaryJohann Ludwig Krapf to obtain 1840 reports of middlemen on Kaffa, as he not Kaffa itself reached on his travels, but areas traveled north of Djimma. [10] Also the Briton Charles T. Beke was on his travels and his search for the source of the Nile 1843-1847 by middlemen receive detailed reports of Kaffa. [11]
1843 reached with the Frenchman Antoine d'Abbadie first time Europeans the Kingdom. He accompanied a prince who had gone to Kaffa to marry his twelfth wife. D'Abbadie spent eleven days in Kaffa and described this visit in his published work until 1890 Geography de l'Ethiopie. From 1855 began Capuchin with Guglielmo Massaia their missionary work in Kaffa. Massaia built there two churches, Schappa-Mariam and Schappa-Gabriel. However, the missionaries had to leave again already in August 1859 Kaffa. Massaias records were lost, his authored 1885-1895 twelve-volume under the title I miei anni di missione Trentacinque nell 'alta Etiopia therefore published reports based in terms of Kaffa mainly on memories. From a 1876 launched major Italian expedition reached onlyAntonio Cecchi, after a very adventurous journey, Kaffa. He has published over his five-year stay in East Africa in 1885 a book that also dealt with Kaffa. [12] The French adventurer Paul Soleillet was able to reach the end of 1883 Kaffa, but managed to stay in the UK only eleven days, until he was forced Kaffa to leave again.
It was only with the conquest of Kaffa in 1897 came back on Europeans to Kaffa, as the Russian Alexander Bulatowitsch accompanied the Ethiopian army. 1905 reached the Austrians Friedrich Bieber with an expedition of Baron Alphons von Mylius Kaffa. He toured Ethiopia in 1909 again. Bieber published his studies of Kaffa 1920-1923. [13] His work is regarded as one of the essential books about Kaffa. Bieber releases made, with the exception Cecchis book obsolete all previous publications on Kaffa. [14] From 1925 to 1929 was the "German Ethiopia expedition" led by Max Grühl place which also toured the former kingdom. [15] in 1928 traveled also Enrico Cerulli West Ethiopia and thus Kaffa and drew on what he could identify on the former Reich. He published his results in 1932. [16]
End of the kingdom

The Ethiopian expansion efforts, which should lead to the end of the Kingdom of Kaffa, began during the reign of the penultimate king of Kaffa Gali Sherochi (1868-1890). Rulers ("Ras") of the Shoah was the later Emperor of Ethiopia Menelik II. Menelik policy had been determined even before his coronation as Negus Negesti ("King of Kings") in 1889 by the expansion of its empire in the Shoah. [17] In the extension in the direction the White Nile and so on Kaffa like French ambitions have played a role, by French possessions in the Sudanand a friendly wholesale Ethiopia the British ambitions of a compound of the British colonial possessions "from the Cape to Cairo" to oppose. [18] in 1881, there was a first foray of the Shoah against Kaffa. At the behest of the ruler of the Shoah commander Ras Gobanna handle first to the Kingdom, there was a promise of tribute, which was, however, not complied with. Menelik now lay down the title of "Negus of Kaffa" to. [19] Ras Gobanna but had to retire on command Menelik to his troops now against another Ethiopian rulers to fight the Takla Haiamont,. [20] The Emperor of Ethiopia. Yohannes IV withdrew Menelik the title of Negus of Kaffa but again to curb its growing power, and gave him the Takla Haiamont, who had to give, however, defeated in 1882 Menelik troops after the Battle of Imbabo [21] and the title again Menelik transferred back. [22]
1890 and 1892 came to conquest attempts by Ethiopia, which were, however, rejected in both cases. [23]
With the Battle of Adwa Menelik II had colonial ambitions on March 1, 1896. Italy finished. Was the Ethiopian army already sufficiently equipped already before the battle with modern weapons to counter even European armed forces [24], so she could after the battle itself additionally amplify the captured war material. [25] In contrast, possessed Kaffa mainly on traditional weapons as spears and more modern weapons might still have only 300 guns. More modern ordnance should not have been present since the last king to have banned from Kaffa imports. The ban was intended to prevent revolts against his rule. [26]
Shortly after the Battle of Adwa ordered Menelik II. In Addis Ababa a new attack on Kaffa on. [27] On September 11, 1897 had to Gaki Sherocho as the last king of Kaffa, after months of fighting give the combined armed forces of Ethiopia. With the end of the kingdom, there was a significant depopulation of the area. It is estimated that about 60 percent of the population died during the fighting or were deported. [28] The country was now considered to be the property of the Negus Negesti. Under Menelik II. Therefore made generous distributions to soldiers who were involved in the invasion. [29]
In a reorganization of Ethiopian provinces 1942, the former Kingdom of Kaffa was with other areas of the province Kaffa summarized.
Political Structure
Gaki Sherocho, the last king of Kaffa, after the capture by the Ethiopians in 1897Political Structure
At the head of state was the king who had political and spiritual meaning. Originally the king bore the title Tato, which means "king". With the expansion of power over neighboring kingdoms he bore the title Aadiyo or Åttio, which means "King of Kings". [30] The full title of KingKafino tpd meant "Kaffa king" and not "king of Kaffa". [ 31] According to tradition, the name of the kingdom is to be derived from this title.[32]
Due to information gathered by local middlemen, the traveler described Charles Tilstone Beke in 1843 the king of Kaffa as more powerful and richer than all the rulers of the Oromo and the whole of Abyssinia. The rule was despotic. [11] From today's perspective, however, it has doubts about a strong despotism. [33]
Was attached to the king a council, called Mikerecho. The members of the Council had both department-related responsibilities and could also act as a collegial body. Of these seven counselors the king was merely the Kateme-Rasho, the War Minister, appoint and settle freely. The other members of Mikerecho were appointed by the other Mikerecho. [34] The Council each elected the new king, the predecessor could only propose his successor, but the choice could fall on any other member of the ruling Minjo-Clanes. [35]
The Empire (middle or end of was the time of the so-called Bonga King 16th century) initially divided into twelve provinces (Showo or Shawo). [36] According to a provincial reform in the 19th century it finally had but eighteen provinces. [37 ] These were again in districts(Rash show, but the name probably varied [38]) divided. It was the end of the kingdom 134 such districts. [39] The district chiefs wore as a sign of their dignity silver necklaces, red Stofftuniken, a leopard skin and a bar. They had to collect taxes and judicial tasks. The Office of the district heads of each remained in the hands of the same clan, the power of the district chiefs strongly depended on the support of his clan. [40]
The lowest administrative level was finally the village or town. [41]
The company in Kaffa initially was divided into clans. These were in turn placed into a class system. Then there were the following classes:
Oge Ashi Yaroo, the clan of the great people. These were the clans, the land and slaves possessed.
Dea Ashi Yaroo, the clan of the so-called good people.
Sharare Ashi Yaroo that simple clans or "thin people".
Gonde Ashi Yaroo, the clan of the "bad people". This group included one hand, the slaves, but also as a "hunter" respected the ethnic group Manjo. [42]
The northern border of the kingdom in the 19th century formed the eastward flowing from west Gojeb, a tributary of the Omo. North of Gojeb lay the kingdoms of the Oromo. To the north bordering the Kingdom of Gera and west of the Kingdom of Jimma to Kaffa. To the northwest was the Kingdom of Garo. To the east were still inside the arc of the Omo the areas of Konta and Kullo, in the southeast, the area of Chara joined. In the south Kaffa reached to the Omo. [43]
Max Grühl described the landscape Kaffa as follows:
"When the hand of the Creator of all things created the large central African jungle, she took a rag from him and threw him into the mountains on the northern end ofLake Rudolf; so Kaffa was a woodland full of gloomy beauty. [44] "
The territory of the Kingdom reaches heights of 3,000 meters above sea level. Despite its relatively close location to the equator (6.15 degrees north of the Equator) it has because of the altitude on a rather mild climate. The annual mean temperature be 12-26 ° C. Influenced by the climate is a dry and a rainy season. The rainy season lasts from May to September, at the wedding of the rainy season from mid-June to the end of August there will be heavy rains, it rains every day total during the rainy season. It is also during the dry season to scattered rains. In Bonga, the average is rainfall of 1800 mm per year. [45]
Kaffa was on several trade routes and was therefore an important trading post. It had direct trade contacts with Kullo, Konta and Walamo. The trade routes reached to the Somalicoast, the Red Sea and into the Sudan, as far as Zeila, Massawa or Metemma. The main market was on a small plane at Tiffa, south of Bonga, instead. This market was operated on four days of the week. [46]
The entire country is in Kaffa was initially property of the king, the inhabitants of Kaffa is leased by him, and he could at any time again to escape. [47] In general, however, the ownership of the land was inherited from father to eldest son. [48 ]
Agriculture in the Kingdom of Kaffa in the 1880s was Cecchi as a subsistence economy is described in which only so much was harvested as self consumed or could be directly exchanged. [49] In addition to food Otherwise, were as
The livestock and animal husbandry in the Kingdom of Kaffa included cattle, sheep, goats, horses, donkeys mules, dogs, poultry and civet cats, but not pigs. [51]
There were numerous taboos about eating. For example, men ate no carbon, but no women priests poultry and the consumption of beef was forbidden. [52]
The tobacco was in hookahs enjoyed and by Muslim traders consuming was Khat came to Kaffa. [53]
Illustration of a branch of the plant of Arabica coffees from Koehler's Medicinal Plants in lifelike pictures with short explanatory texts (1887)
Kaffa is the origin of coffees considered. The term in many languages (eg. As German coffee, french cafe, Englishcoffee) to go back to the name of the Kingdom. Because of the rich gene pool of the southwest Ethiopia occurring wild coffee trees southwestern mayhighlands of Abyssinia as secured region of origin of Arabica coffees are, the scientific evidence that Kaffa is the origin, but has not yet rendered in absence of more precise investigations. [2] The According to tradition, the coffee should have been discovered by a shepherd in Kaffa, should be the noticed that a goat began after drinking fruit of the coffee plant to dance. [2] In addition to the gathering of coffee in forests of coffee was in the Horticulture manner produced. So there should have been in Kaffa little houses that were not surrounded by coffee bushes. [54] The Kingdom of Kaffa exported coffee and was before the invasion in 1897 as the most important coffee producer in Africa. Exports were at 350 tonnes valued. [55]

NCAA considering changing transfer rules to allow athletes to play right away
By Kels Dayton
FILE – In this March 21, 2013, file photo, in this image taken with a fisheye lens, the NCAA logo is displayed at mid-court before Albany's practice for a second-round game of the NCAA college basketball tournament in Philadelphia. Barely a month ago, the NCAA was shamed into apologizing for trying to rig its own investigation into funny business at the University of Miami. According to a new report, that apology didn't go nearly far enough. (AP Photo/Matt Slocum, File)
The NCAA is looking into changing its policy on transfers, including a longstanding rule that has forced players to sit out a year before playing for another school.
A new proposal would allow undergraduate students to become immediately eligible to play at other schools, if they meet certain academic standards.
The NCAA announced earlier this week that it is seeking feedback from members about that rule and others, including how athletes receive permission to contact other schools.
Under a recent rule change, the only athletes eligible to transfer and play immediately are prospective graduate students who want to continue their studies (a.k.a. play) at a different school, provided the school offers a different program than their current school does.
Players who haven't used up a fourth year of eligibility have taken advantage of that rule, including former UConn men's basketball players Lasan Kromah and Sterling Gibbs.
Most other athletes are forced to sit out a year, unless granted a special hardship waiver by the NCAA. Coaches even have the power to block them from transferring to other schools that the coaches can choose (i.e. competitors). Historically, coaches have blocked athletes from transferring to schools in their own conference.
The NCAA is considering changing its "permission to contact" rules, which would allow athletes to contact other schools without first receiving permission from their own school. Currently, if an athlete doesn't receive permission, they aren't allowed to be on scholarship for their first year at their new school.
A new proposal would eliminate financial aid being tied in with permission to contact rules.
The NCAA will reach out to school presidents, faculty, coaches and athletic directors through a survey. The deadline to respond is September 22.
Some college basketball coaches don't seem to be keen on the potential changes to the transfer rule.
"It would be the worst rule ever," Baylor men's basketball coach Scott Drew told ESPN.com's Myron Medcalf. "It would be the wild, Wild West. Coaches don't agree on everything. On this, I think we'd be unanimous."
Purdue head coach Matt Painter agreed.
"I would not be in favor," he told ESPN. "It would not allow players to develop and grow as people and players. Any adversity would lead to a transfer and it would just retard their development."
ESPN's Jay Bilas, long an advocate for athletes and a critic of the NCAA, couldn't disagree more.
"Any athlete should be allowed to transfer at any time and accept all allowable aid from any school that will have him or her," he wrote on ESPN.com. "This isn't difficult. If this is really about unpaid, amateur students being treated like any other students, then the transfer policy is simple."

Q: Avoid empty log files getting touched upon invoking Django management command I have logging configured in my project.settings file as follows:
LOGGING = {
    [ . . . ],
    'handlers': {
        'console': {
            'level': 'DEBUG',
            'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
            'formatter': 'verbose',
        },
        'logfile': {
            '()': uniq_logfile,
            'level': 'DEBUG',
            'formatter': 'verbose',
            'logtype': 'global',
        },
    [ . . . ]
}

Here is the definition of uniq_logfile:
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))

def uniq_logfile(logtype):
    base = '%s.%s' % (logtype, datetime.datetime.now().strftime('%d%b.%H%M'))
    path = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, '.logs', base)
    return logging.FileHandler(path, 'w')

Problem: Whenever I run any ./manage.py <command>, all handlers are invoked and an empty log file for each handler is touched. For example, if I have 3 handlers defined, and I invoke a manage.py command that has only one associated handler, all 3 handlers are invoked (2 empty files are created corresponding to the other two handlers). Is there some setting to avoid doing that?
I am using python v2.7.10 on Mac.

A: You don't say which version of Python you're using - in Python 2.6 and later, you can set the delay parameter to file handler constructors to avoid opening the files until something is actually going to be written to them. See the FileHandler documentation.


According to this week's FluView report, overall influenza activity decreased slightly but remains high, driven by a wave of H3N2 virus activity. While this week saw small declines in levels of influenza-like-illness (ILI) and the proportion of clinical laboratory specimens testing positive for flu, 46 states and Puerto Rico continue to report widespread flu activity and 30 states are still experiencing high ILI activity. Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses remain predominant for the flu season nationally, however, during the week ending March 9, influenza A(H3) viruses were reported more frequently that H1N1pdm09 viruses for the second week in a row. Also, another four flu-related pediatric deaths occurring during the 2018-2019 season were reported by CDC, bringing the total to 68 flu-related pediatric deaths this season.
CDC expects flu activity to remain elevated for a number of weeks. While CDC continues to recommend influenza vaccination as long as influenza viruses are circulating, influenza antiviral drugs are an important second line of defense that can be used to treat flu illness. H3N2 viruses are typically associated with more severe illness in older adults, and flu vaccine may protect less well against H3N2 illness in older adults, making prompt treatment with flu antivirals in this age group especially important during the current period of H3N2 predominance.
Influenza-like Illness Surveillance: For the week ending March 9 (week 10), the proportion of people seeing their health care provider for influenza-like illness (ILI) decreased slightly to 4.5% from 4.6%, but remains above the national baseline of 2.2%. The most recent data indicates that ILI activity for the current season peaked the week ending February 16 (week 7) at 5.1%.
All 10 regions reported a proportion of outpatient visits for ILI at or above their region-specific baseline levels.
Influenza-like Illness (ILI) State Activity Indicator Map: The number of states experiencing high ILI activity decreased from 32 states last week to 30 states this week. Additional data, including data for previous seasons, can be found at https://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/fluview/main.html. https://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/fluview/main.html.
Geographic Spread of Influenza Viruses: The number of jurisdictions reporting widespread influenza activity decreased from Puerto Rico and 48 states last week to Puerto Rico and 46 states this week. Geographic spread data reflect how many areas within a state or territory are seeing flu activity. Additional data are available at: https://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/fluview/FluView8.html.
Flu-Associated Hospitalizations: Since October 1, 2018, 11,922 laboratory-confirmed influenza-associated hospitalizations have been reported through the Influenza Hospitalization Network (FluSurv-NET), a population-based surveillance network for laboratory-confirmed influenza-associated hospitalizations covering approximately 9% of the U.S. This translates to a cumulative overall rate of 41.3 hospitalizations per 100,000 people in the United States.
The highest hospitalization rate is among adults aged 65 years and older (123.9 per 100,000) followed by children younger than 5 years (54.8 per 100,000), and adults aged 50-64 years (54.0 per 100,000). During most seasons, adults 65 years and older have the highest hospitalization rates, followed by young children.
The final, cumulative overall hospitalization rate for week 10 last season was 90.3 per 100,000.
Mortality Surveillance: The proportion of deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza (P&I) was 7.2% during the week ending March 2, 2019 (week 9). This percentage is below the epidemic threshold of 7.3% for week 9 in the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) Mortality Surveillance System. P&I has been at or above threshold for a total of 5 weeks this season (weeks 1-3, and weeks 7 and 8).
Pediatric Deaths: Four influenza-associated pediatric deaths were reported to CDC during week 10 (the week ending March 9, 2019).
One death was associated with an influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus and occurred during week 6 (the week ending February 9, 2019). Two deaths were associated with an influenza A(H3) virus and occurred during weeks 9 and 10 (the weeks ending March 2 and March 9, 2019, respectively). One death was associated with an influenza A virus for which no subtyping was performed and occurred during week 9 (the week ending March 2, 2019).
A total of 68 influenza-associated pediatric deaths have been reported for the 2018-2019 season.
Laboratory Data: Nationally, the percentage of respiratory specimens testing positive for influenza viruses in clinical laboratories during the week ending March 9 was 25.8%, a slight decline from 26.7% the prior week.
Nationally, during the week ending March 9, influenza A(H3) viruses were reported more frequently than influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses and have been predominant for the most recent three weeks in Regions 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10. However, overall for the 2018-2019 flu season, influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses are still predominant nationally and in all regions of the U.S., except for the Southeast where H3N2 has predominated.
The majority of the influenza viruses collected from the United States during September 30, 2018, through March 9, 2019, were characterized antigenically and genetically as being similar to the cell-grown reference viruses representing the 2018–2019 Northern Hemisphere influenza vaccine viruses.
The vast majority (>99%) of influenza viruses tested showed susceptibility to oseltamivir, zanamivir and peramivir. This week, no new viruses with reduced susceptibility to antiviral drugs were reported. So far this season, two (0.1%) influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses displayed highly reduced inhibition by oseltamivir and peramivir. An additional two (0.1%) influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses showed reduced inhibition by oseltamivir. All influenza viruses tested showed susceptibility to zanamivir.

El combate de San Antonio fue un enfrentamiento armado sucedido durante la Guerra civil peruana de 1843-1844, entre las tropas gobiernistas y las milicias revolucionarias, terminando con la victoria de estas últimas.

Antecedentes
Tras el levantamiento de Tacna y la victoria de los constitucionales en el combate de Pachía, el ejército directorial se redujo a 3.200 soldados. A pesar de ello eran muy superiores en número a los revolucionarios. Nieto y Castilla planearon su estrategia.

La batalla
La acción se inició en las alturas de Tumilaca, y los constitucionales forzaron a sus adversarios a pasar la noche sin agua y sobre las armas. Al amanecer del día siguiente, Guarda hizo acampar a sus tropas cerca a un riachuelo. Atento a este movimiento, Castilla avanzó completamente solo al campo enemigo y entró en la tienda de Guarda, a quien le ofreció capitular (lo cual era solo una simulación). Tras ponerse de acuerdo en los términos de la capitulación, Castilla sugirió a Guarda que diera descanso a sus tropas para que fueran a beber al riachuelo. El mismo Castilla, saliendo de la tienda, se dirigió a estas tropas y con voz estentórea les ordenó: "Batallón: armar pabellones y al agua". Los soldados de Guarda obedecieron, como si hubieran escuchado a su propio jefe. Fue entonces el momento oportuno para que entraran a actuar los soldados de Castilla, quienes avanzando al trote, rodearon la tienda de Guarda, mientras que Castilla ingresaba y tomaba del brazo al jefe vivanquista, diciéndole: "Es usted mi prisionero". Los soldados de Guarda, como estaban desarmados, fueron fácilmente hechos prisioneros. Esta fue una gran victoria para los constitucionales, quienes, en su mayoría milicianos, sometieron a un ejército de soldados experimentados, superiores en número.

Consecuencias
Como consecuencia de esta victoria, la rebelión avanzó hasta Puno, Cuzco y Andahuaylas, consolidándose así en todo el sur peruano, a excepción de Arequipa, que se mantuvo inquebrantable en su lealtad a Vivanco.

Bryant's Grocery & Meat Market, where Emmett Till allegedly whistled at Carolyn Bryant (pictured here), September 17, 1955, Money, Mississippi, Getty Images.
[End Page 54]
The ruins of Bryant's Grocery & Meat Market and the beautifully restored Ben Roy's Service Station stand sixty-seven feet apart from each other on the southern edge of Money, Mississippi, the small hamlet visited by Emmett Till in August 1955. Both stores are now owned by a trio of siblings with a personal investment in the memory of Till's murder. Annette Morgan, Harry Tribble, and Martin Tribble are the three children of Ray Tribble, an unrepentant juror from the 1955 trial of Till killers Roy Bryant and J. W. Milam. After the trial, the elder Tribble excelled in business, the family accrued farmland around Money and, in the mid 1980s, the Tribble brothers purchased the two-story building that once housed Bryant's Grocery. After Annette and Harry purchased Ben Roy's Service Station in 2003, the family owned everything in Money except the Baptist church and the decommissioned post office. While only Bryant's Grocery had a direct link to the murder of Emmett Till, both stores have come to play a large, if competing, role in the commemoration of the crime.1
For all their similarities, the two stores are separated by one essential fact: Bryant's Grocery defaulted into a memory site with no intervention from either the Tribble family or the state of Mississippi. Indeed, since they purchased it in the 1980s, the Tribbles have ignored the site at which Emmett Till once allegedly whistled at Carolyn Bryant. The iconic front porch collapsed in the early 1990s, the interior floors were gone by the turn of the century, and Hurricane Katrina claimed the roof and a story-sized portion of the grocery's north wall. And yet, the ruin of the building notwithstanding, Bryant's Grocery has become a mecca for civil rights tourists wanting to see the place at which an infamous whistle set the Civil Rights Movement in motion. Judging by the ever-increasing number of visitors to the site, the structural integrity of Bryant's Grocery seems to stand in an inverse relationship to its symbolic value: the greater the ruin the more potent the memory site. In recent years, the state erected a sign proclaiming Bryant's Grocery the origin of the Civil Rights Movement and, at virtually the same time, the county erected a cheap, orange, plastic fence to protect visitors from falling bricks.2
Ben Roy's Service Station, on the other hand, has been actively written into the story of Till's murder. In July 2011, Annette Morgan and Harry Tribble won a Mississippi Civil Rights Historical Sites grant for the restoration of Ben Roy's Service Station. Because Bryant's Grocery was crumbling and because Ben Roy's had a covered portico, the Tribbles reasoned, the gas station had become a default lecture site from which tourists could gaze at the grocery and learn their civil rights history. The application put its case for civil rights dollars like this: "It is very likely that the events that transpired at Bryant's Grocery … were discussed underneath the front canopy of the adjacent service station." And, with nothing more certain than the possibility that Till's murder was discussed from the adjacent [End Page 55] building, the Mississippi Department of Archives and History gave $200,000, earmarked for civil rights, to the restoration of Ben Roy's.3
The grant for Ben Roy's Service Station was written and managed by Mary Annette Morgan, granddaughter of juror Ray Tribble. Since I've known her, Mary Annette has courageously lobbied her family to commemorate Till's murder. From her perspective, the restoration of Ben Roy's was but the first step in a more comprehensive effort to restore the town of Money, preserve Bryant's Grocery, and remember Till's murder. Her admirable intentions notwithstanding, the funding mechanism she used to start the project no longer exists and Ben Roy's Service Station now appears, not...

20th Century Boys 07: The Truth
Writer / Artist
The volume title has an enticing ring to it, doesn't it? The Truth. Will Naoki Urusawa finally reveal what happened before he jumped forward fourteen years in the middle of volume 05? Are we going to be told the truth? Of course we are. Naoki Urusawa's not going to cheat us. The truth as we knew it from previous volumes is that a group of kids growing up in the 1970s came up with a pretend villain's master plan to take over the world. One of them has used that plan under the alias Friend, and so far Friend's political party have been elected in Japan. We don't know which of the kids seen in the 1970s is Friend, but some have been shown to have died by 2014, and Kenji, the most charismatic of them as a child, has disappeared. Another, Otcho, has been jailed ten kilometres from the Tokyo shore. The opening chapters deal with his escape attempt in the company of the not as imposing Kakuta, who dreams of being a Manga artist.
Urasawa has the technique of the best storytellers. He'll pull the reader completely into whoever's story he's chosen to spotlight, then leave them howling with frustration as he switches attention somewhere else. He'll then ensure that somewhere else is equally engrossing. In this volume we're introduced to Kamisama, the world's richest indigent, who's a brilliant eccentric in the manner of so many others we've met. It's through him that we get to the truth as he takes us back to New Year's Eve 2000. It's chilling. The second half of the book gives us what we've been waiting for, and it lives up to the anticipation that's been building. Urusawa doesn't take the obvious route, however, and we learn how Kenji and his mates dealt with a terrible situation, but via a cackling chorus and a great use of the T. Rex song from which the series takes its name. However, he's teased a fair bit during the course of 20th Century Boys, and does so again here. The Truth ends before he reaches a crescendo, to be continued in Kenji's Song.
20th Century Boys has thrilled from the first volume, and despite Urusawa jumping the narrative back and forward through time throughout, that's still the case. In 1970, 2000 or 2014 whoever he focuses on captures the attention, and he consistently manages to surprise with the progress of the characters he reintroduces. It's superb.

I started watching Alex Becker's YouTube movies back in 2016. He taught me a lot of stuff online advertising, regarding entrepreneurship, and the best way to run a Shopify shop.
It was right around that time that Alex published his book, The 10 Pillars of Wealth: Mind-Sets of The World's Richest People. I got that book once I watched it and I proceeded to emphasize it and mark it up. In fact, I could go re-read it as soon as I finish this.
Truly, Market Hero is not even his sole multi-million dollar business. He also founded the SEO software development company Source Wave and he's running a supplement brand. He got a few classes out there from the market teaching people to grow their email lists and market more about Shopify.
Anyhow, Market Hero is one of the best email Because it concentrates on in-depth sales metrics, autoresponders on the market nowadays and it's so much better than its competitors.
I have used a bunch of email autoresponder software over the years, including MadMimi and Drip. Drip was my favorite up until I started using Market Hero. Drip allows you like track your open rates to perform lots of stuff and label your subscribers.
But if you're anything like me, while you take care of open rates and click-through rates, what matters is SALES. Sales are the lifeblood of your enterprise and earnings is what places cold, hard cash in your pocket. Market Hero helps you monitor sales, simple and plain.
The service isn't amazing to the point at which they supply you with detailed step-by-step videos and also hold your hand through every step along the way, but it is not terrible. In any case, if you want that degree of hand-holding and coddling, possibly Market Hero isn't for you.
Market Hero has English-speaking support team available to respond to your questions through live chat at no cost. You don't have to be part of any special plan or package to have priority service, like some unscrupulous companies do. You simply log in and start chatting.
On Market Hero's homepage, one of those headings You will see says,"4X Your Email Business With Unequaled Delivery and Sales Metrics". This immediately set my B.S. detector because I know how difficult it's to 4X an email arrangement, especially if you're any good at what you're doing.
But Market Hero provides a free trial, and so I figured I'd sign up and see if it was any good. I figured I only need a small increase in sales for Market Hero to pay for itself and when it did 4X my enterprise, I would be flying high.
Now, in the interest of full disclosure I do want to tell you that Market Hero has NOT increased my sales 4X (yet), but I am getting more sales than previously and Market Hero IS paying for itself. Easily, actually. I was already doing well and had my game tight, so I knew a 4X increase would be rough.
I know I already mentioned this, but the key to Market Hero is the way that it keeps your customers' lifetime value (LTV) in front of you at all times and it changes as you send emails out and tweak your autoresponder. Once you know your client worth, it's possible to literally"buy" clients. What Market Hero does is every conversion for every single guide on your list and track every sale. It gives you the stats you need to grow your business and averages everything together.
If you were to do this manually, then you'd probably have to go through different programs, different spreadsheets, and return through your prior sales. You may have to crunch a great deal of amounts that you don't have anymore. Market Hero simplifies this issue better than anyone else available on the industry.
Let us say that I'm running two different opt-in campaigns for the identical audience. Anyone who opts-in to the very first effort will be labeled as"A" and anybody who opts-in into the next campaign is going to be labeled as"B".
If you do so again and again, you can create a powerful business as you will always be split-testing to see which kinds of individuals are worth more to your enterprise.
And getting this up and running will be super-easy too. All you have to do is take the pixel that Market Hero gives you and put it in the regions which you want to track. From there, Market Hero will keep tabs on all your clients, sales, conversions, etc., to supply you with the data that you need to cultivate your business.
I think that this is a wise move by Alex Becker because it indicates he understands his market. He understands that the men and women who are seriously interested in making money online are likely currently using things like this and he wants to be certain that his applications integrates seamlessly.
My only complaint is that lots of the software I use, such as OptinMonster and Thrive Themes hasn't yet been placed in the"integrations" tab. That doesn't mean you CAN'T incorporate thembecause you can (you utilize Zapier to make them talk to each other) but it is not quite as easy as something like ClickFunnels or even Shopify.
The best way for me to describe it is of The email autoresponders were created for email marketers. I've nothing against marketers that are email and I send mails to my list on a daily basis, however, their thinking has its limits. Market Hero was constructed by means of a company owner FOR business owners.
Market Hero differs since it provides you with a lot of different approaches to help you monitor ROI and create more profit from the emails.
For example, among the coolest features is the fact that it shows you how much each lead is worth. Imagine logging into your email autoresponder and viewing that every lead is worth $6.87 for you. That means you could go out and"purchase" email addresses to make money. Everything you do is you purchase paid visitors from Google, Facebook, etc. and send that traffic to an opt-in page. You have a business, if you can get a for less money than it's worth. As you can simply rinse and repeat as many times.
From what I've seen, absolutely not. I think that At this point, Alex Becker has far too much to lose by being a scam artist. Various businesses's running and he is smart enough to understand that if his reputation was tarnished by him, he'd be screwed.
From what I have seen, people have complained about his refund policy. These people are the ones who have utilized Market Hero for weeks and attempt to get all their money back. These are the scammers. You're scum, if you are not inclined to cover for a service which may improve your life and your organization. Plain and simple.
Market Hero's free trial offer is really straightforward. It states that in case you cancel within 14 days then anything won't be billed.
When I started writing this Market Hero review Was worried it went to lean a little too much. That's why I want to stress this Market Hero can help you in ANY online business, not Shopify.
On his YouTube channel, Alex has published a great deal of different videos about Shopify. You find he provides a lot of info on the best way to make money with Shopify once you get past the names. Part of this reason is because he wants to get folks to check out Market Hero because he knows it can help them.
For instance, Market Hero allows you to create abandoned cart sequences. When someone starts the checkout procedure in Shopify (by entering their email) but does not finish it, that has tracked in Market Hero. From there, you can follow up with that person and get them back to finish their purchase.
Depending on the study which you browse, the ordinary cart abandonment rate for an online store is usually somewhere in the area of 70-80 percent. Are there individuals with abandonment prices? Sure, but this is the typical.
Imagine you have 100 people go through your checkout process and 80 of those individuals abandon your cart. That usually means you have 20 customers and 80 non-customers. Imagine if a cart recovery sequence only got a mere 10 percent of this non-customers to purchase?
The motive Market Hero is so powerful is because you can apply tags and monitor LTV. When you link Market Hero to Shopify, it starts monitoring. Buy tags are applied that show.
Imagine that you have a Shopify store selling print-on-demand dog tops. It would be silly to try and sell Golden Retriever things to this person, right, if someone bought a pug shirt? But that is because they do not have the data in front of them, what a lot of online entrepreneurs are doing. Because Market Hero enables you to determine exactly what the person purchased, you can concentrate on selling only pug-related stuff for your pug clients.
You are able to totally geek out with this stuff. You can get as detailed and intricate as you like. In my private business, I use it to segment the topics that advisors are interested in. Because I sell products that help advisors GET customers and let them KEEP clients, if a person is interested in KEEPING clients, because they would be immaterial, I do not need to bombard them with emails about GETTING clients. That person would finally unsubscribe.
Oh, and if you're interested, here's a movie of Alex Becker showing you how you can raise your Shopify revenue 300% with Market Hero. Keep in mind the Market Hero may be used with ANY online business, not just Shopify.
Market Hero is an Wonderful email program because It's built for those who are trying to make money online. In Case You Haven't done So go over there, import your list and take advantage of the free trial.
