Rural born, Jamini Roy (born in 1887 at Beliator village in folkish art and craft-rich Bankura district) left the village, at the crucial age of sixteen in 1903, for art education at Calcutta's School of Art, is no more a significant fact for an aesthetic evaluation of the greatness of mature Jamini Roy painting, than a similar counter-fact of his sojourn back to the world of medieval terracotta-reliefs, rural patas and folk toys, some eighteen years later.
Jamini Roy need not also be remembered for the maximum illusion of likeness producing portraits, called the academic ones, which he did in oil on canvas, for meeting his cost of living in Calcutta. Of a little more interest are the more or less similar portraits he did after the first set, in tempera and in gouache in a la prima mode - retaining the brush-work marks, reminding one of the post-impressionist academic portraits painting. These brushwork marks, denoting but not simulating chiaroscuro, would take him towards surface 'modernism'.
Jamini Roy is an art historian's despair, for he never dated his works, and he was in the habit of often going back to his earlier themes and styles after time-gaps. Although most of his better seen post-Cezannesque Fauvist landscapes probably come from the forties, that is from the period when he had already touched the zenith of his signature style, there is strong chronological logic of their being first experimented with in the early twenties, and then abandoned for not being relevant to the artist's quest. These chromatically brilliant rich in texture free-Cezannesque landscapes would have made Jamini Roy an Indian Fauvist painter, but that was not what he was trying to achieve. However, he did learn his lessons in colour and texture on pictorial space which were to be integral elements in his signature style.
In the next developmental step, Jamini babu experimented with an Abanindranath-derived stylistics to integrate landscape and human figure, in a suggested landscape of land meeting sky in the horizon (in actuality a sky-colour area and a land-colour area), with a semi-silhouetted village-bell or a rural lad looming large in the foreground with her/his form (on being silhouetted). This sentimental short phase would have been a washout but for the lesson he learnt in transforming worldly three-dimensional space into pictorial space of colour-planes, and indicating figural-form by clearly contouring it. And there was third and more important latent element in this shift. Touched, probably, by Abanindranath's nationalism, Jaminibabu - for the first time realized the necessity of giving to the pictorial image a continuity clue and an identity. What else but a reference to the idyllic rural life could serve as a better instrument? Jaminibabu would soon pass over the period, retaining as he did, the three most important lessons he learnt from the experiment. It must, however, be admitted that on being infected by Abanindranath's nationalistic affliction, in 1921, Jaminibabu undertook a cultural journey back to re-discover the still living arts and crafts of rural Bengal, in terracotta reliefs, scroll patachitras, wooden patas and above all in folk toys (wooden and clay) of Bengal. The year 1921 in which Jaminibabu undertook his journey of re-discovery was the year of culmination of the first satyagraha launched by Gandhiji, the most important component of which was mobilization of masses around rural life as it was lived. This Gandhian movement undoubtedly had given Jaminibabu a solid substance for action on what till then was an Abanindranath Tagorean set of nationalistic aesthetic ideas which was not exactly Jaminibabu's cup of tea. Through the twenties both Abanindranath and Gandhiji remained with him, in his work.
Yet, it was not exactly in the twenties that Jamini Roy had arrived at the threshold of his signature style. Another little known event had to happen towards the end of the twenties, or at the beginning of the thirties, to act as catalyst. The novelist Tarasanker Bandyopadhyay, who was a neighbour of both Jamini Roy and the anthropologist and Gandhian, Nirmal Kumar Bose, writes in his autobiography that some time at the beginning of the thirties, Nirmalbabu had gifted a few pata paintings of one of the last generation of the famous Kalighat patuas to both Jamini Roy and Nandalal Bose, making them both excited and happy. In Jaminibabu's case the final break-through came through a study of these and in Nandalal's case a study of these led to the Haripura murals/posters. My teacher Nirmalbabu did, in the sixties, indeed confirm that he introduced the two masters to Kalighat pata. However, one should not come to the conclusion as one is apt to do, that once he had found this source it became Jamini Roy's only visual-linguistic source of appropriation. Far from that, Jamini Roy appropriated only a few elements from the Kalighat pata tradition, as he did with other Bengal folk art traditions. But what he appropriated from the Kalighat tradition he transformed those into cardinal visual-linguistic component of his personal style. Two of these were: one, the curvilinear (of elliptical or parabolic propensity) band-like contour line to define the outline of an image, and two, juxtaposition of the concavilinear and the convexilinear contoured area to connote the volume of the area without chiaroscuroistically denoting it. And the third, colouring all areas of a painting flatly, without resorting to chiaroscuro. At the same time, he totally rejected the irregular configuration of images seen in Kalighat pata for visual narrative effect, signaling his rejection of narration in visual art - a very 'modernist' fetish per se.
It is not that, once Jaminibabu had arrived at what he was seeking, by traversing the path the Western art had traversed from academic illusionistic naturalism to Fauvism to abstract art of some kind, Jamini Roy stayed put and did not do much experimentation. Indeed, he did quite a wide ranging research from choice of pictorial surface offering variations in textures to frame-image spatial relationship and the linear determination of extra-painterly identity of the human images posited on pictorial surface. However, in spite of experiments with configuration of negative space i.e. background and positive space i.e. image-occupied space, linearly divided pictorial spatial areas and variations indicated residual worldly identity of the images, certain formal visual-linguistic concerns remained constant through half of the thirties to the first couple of years of the seventies and became hallmark features of Jamini Roy's style. Let us first enumerate these and then discuss about their effects.
That the two cardinal visual-linguistic elements of Jaminibabu's paintings are lines and two-dimensional pictorial surface is a simplistic truism. A slightly better truism is that he used the line both to divide the pictorial surface into negative space and image-filled space of balanced proportions and to enclose the images as contour lines. Of greater significance is the quality of lines in Jaminibabu's paintings. The lines that divide the surface of his paintings as contour/image-defining lines are more bands than lines. And the band-like thin-to-thick-to-thin massey, gently gliding curvilinear lines of parabolic propensity often simulates vegetal/floral linear-pattern, thereby endowing the images with organism semblance. Can we trace the root of this in the collective unconscious of a rural-agrarian culture from which Jaminibabu came? We should not, however, hasten to categorise Jaminibabu's art with what Wilhelm Worringer had termed organic as opposed to geometric. Jaminibabu's works defy this western binary. If we look closely at his images, which are basically flat and two dimensional, these reveal themselves as agglomerations of geometric shapes. Due to their being defined by the kind of contour lines, as has just been enumerated, these do not appear as geometric as these really are. This, precisely is, one of the reasons that makes Jamini Roy a 'modern' Indian who cannot be contained within the Eurocentric concept of 'modern'. More about this will come later.
Another very significant function of the band like thin-to-thick-to-thin gently curving contour lines, in their flowing patterned laying bind the configured negative and image spaces in vegetal rhythm. This type of rhythmic patterning of floromorphic lines camouflage the perfectly geometric comprising shapes of the images (oblong, parabolic, hyperbolic, roundish and trapezoids etc.) and present these as organism entities. Being agglomerations of basically geometric comprising shapes, the vegetal contours of which turn those into organism entities, Jamini Roy's indicated images tend to contain and strike a balance between geometric and organismic. This balance striking repose is a significant feature of Jamini Roy's art. Rhythm plays the prime role in the striking of balance between negative and positive space, geometric and organismic approach to delineation and finally in the distribution of luminosity of colour areas. The cumulative resultant effect of the visual-linguistic arrangements into style, inevitably gives to his paintings a balanced equilibrium, of background space and image space, geometrically divided space and organism endowed by contour lines and, warm and cool, bright and sombre colour areas. The regular and predictable surface sequencing of these visual-linguistic elements further heighten the sensation of balanced equilibrium, making his art poised, cool and classicist, and consequently devoid of the vital élan.
Jaminibabu was perhaps aware that the perfect painterly construction of painting he was heading to would not do with beholders; he therefore endowed the flat areas with non-chairoscuroistic brushwork textural embellishments and made his contour lines a little less regular than these apparently are. These little deviations from regular application make his pre-forty three paintings less decorative and livelier than the later paintings where colour-areas are flatter and lines almost mechanically curvilinear.
We have so far been talking only about the formal and constructional aspects of Jamini Roy's art, as these should, particularly in his case, be given a priority. Images, with known cultural and social associations especially with folk life of the rural agrarian Bengal, have immediate presence in Jaminibabu's art. Youthful peasant housewives and rural workforce, Krishna Balaram and Subhadra, Krishnaleela, Rama Lakshmana Seeta and other characters from the Ramayana, Jesus Christ Mary Joseph, the nativity, the last supper, the crucifixion and the resurrection of Christ, the Kamadhenu cow, bovines of gostha-leela and cats fishes lobsters etc. of Kalighat pata and sitting birds of the Santal wall decoration are the immediate images of Jaminibabu's painting. Jamini Roy even painted episodes from the Ramayana, over and over again, in the forties and the fifties. Not to mention of the paintings not based upon known narratives, even those based upon known mythical narratives appear as disjointed scenes of events frozen in time, just as his Krishna's and gopinis in dancing postures, look frozen at a moment in perfectly balanced poises, with each part of a moving human body balancing another part. This lesson about the point of equilibrium in a time-series, Jamini Roy must have learnt from studying the iconology of dancing Nataraja. Even if Jaminibabu depended on iconological marks, like sarees on bare bodies with a ghomta over head for a rural housewife, bare-bodied men in loin cloth with implements of production, blue bodied Krishna with a flute, Balarama with a plough, Rama with his bow alongside Seeta and Lakshmana, Subhadra and Seeta invariably accompanied by Krishna-Balaram and Rama-Lakshmana, from gestural and postural interactional stances, spatial placement of character-images, and gazes of the imaged-characters, in Jaminibabu's painting it is well-nigh impossible to formally differentiate images based on real life from those based on myths, and images based on one myth and another myth. Simply for the reason that Jamini Roy was never too interested in narratives (the only exceptions have been Jaminibabu's paintings based on myths and legends centering the life and death of Jesus Christ. Without being moved by a feeling of deep empathy for the subject matter these paintings could not have been painted. Interestingly, the visual-linguistic means for the visual objectification of this empathy was derived not so much from the Bengal folk art as from another Fauvist, albeit a Christian painter -George Rouault. Let us not dwell so much on the Fauvism inspired language of Jamini Roy's Christ-paintings, for we know that he had half-a-life-long not so secret love affair with varieties of Fauvism). To go back to Jaminibabu's object-images once again, by contouring a wide variety of human, animal and bird images with lines of similar character, stylistically delineating their physical features similarly and painting them flatly, he reduces them to agglomerations of a shape, albeit with iconographic identification marks. Even when these denotatively indicate, these do not connote phenomenal stories. The positing of such internally balanced indicator images on plain surface in rhythmic regularity, make his paintings design-like with no phenomenal content, even when these have distant objective references. Even with object-indicators Jamini Roy's paintings are purist painting. The balanced equilibrium of purely visual elements exude from them a far from maddening world calmness.
The personal history of the development of Jamini Roy's art, as we have already noticed, followed the path of development of occidental modernism up to a point. Gandhian and Tagorean ideas then intervened to change his trajectory a bit. He with a classicist mentality of giving importance to the communication function of art, Roy found in the visual-linguistics of the living traditions of the folk arts and crafts of Bengal resources which could be appropriated, transformed and used to communicate with potential spectators. Thus was born a 'modernist' Indian individualist artist's art, in a language format derived from the quintessential structure of folk art of Bengal. A highly logical inference led Jaminibabu to arrive at this personal solution of the vexed question of visual character of 'Indian modern art'. He had probably argued, that if the autonomy-seeking 'modernism' of the Western artists had led them to some kind of formalism in which the phenomenal image was inconsequential, and yet be besotted with either the fetish of geometry of industrial existence or the industry-negating primordial organicity, what then was wrong with an artist coming from the rural-agrarian background, who unlike his western counterpart was not alienated from that life, to fall back on the store house of familiar visuals for formalistic appropriations. Thus was born an object-based purist/formalist art, true to the world of visual experience possible in an under-developed colonial country.
Jamini Roy's rural simplicity, in retrospect, appears to have been more a cultivated quality than real. The development of his own aesthetic parameters of creative action followed exactly the trajectory of Euro genetic 'modernism'. The change of trajectory of Jaminibabu's art praxis too had a solid logical base. If 'modernism' in art was an action-oriented movement to create an autonomous system of art, with an independent visual-language, and if such a 'modernism' practiced in the West had sprung there from the spring board of specifically Western visual culture and experience, why should not then, an autonomy seeking 'modernist' Indian art take off from the storehouse of memory of its own visual forms. For Jaminibabu it was not only an apologetic reasoning. He, with a latent belief in classicist values, believed that to reach out to a wide spectrum of spectators and appreciators, a linguistic continuity was sine-qua-non for even the most individualist artist. With such reasoning, Jaminibabu created an individual Indian 'modernist' artist's unique kind of art, with an unmistakably Indian identity of a kind. That precisely is the reason why Jamini Roy needs to be celebrated as 'modernist' Indian artist, of highest significance, even if his art was not contextually as relevant as some of his contemporaries and juniors. Significant though as non-abstract purist art with 'Indian' visual association, any reference to Indian life and the hopes and anxieties the life inevitably generated, is totally absent from Jamini Roy's art. Jamini Roy's is a self-contained autonomous art, at peace with itself.

How I Learned to Love Myself | Can Anybody Hear Me?
Great post, Lisa! I still pick apart pictures of myself in a negative way and I need to stop! I love the visuals with the negative and positive viewpoints.
Thanks, Emily 🙂 It's a really difficult habit to stop. Like I said, it's been 3 years, and I still have to make an effort to stop myself!
Love this post! Strange how we train ourselves to be so critical. I am 46 years old and about 80 pounds overweight, and I can't look at myself in a picture. I am going to try this. I need to look at myself differently, and so far, I am having trouble with that. Keep up the good work! Thank you for the inspiration.
Sometimes I still have trouble looking at pictures of myself. But, when I catch myself having that gut "eww" reaction, I stop and do what I talked about here. It's a looong process undoing negative self talk! I hope this works for you too. It doesn't matter WHAT you look like, you're worth loving — including being loved by you.


A brick fence/wall, especially a high one, can be great at helping you create a warm microclimate for subtropical plants and can wind protect them too. However in our case our low brick fence was reducing our productive space as it prevented sunlight from reaching the garden beds immediately adjacent to it. With a few weekends of hard labour the fence was pulled down, the bricks used to create paving in our greenhouse and a woven wire fence installed. The new fence lets light in, allows air to move through the plants and acts as a trellis for various annuals and perennials. We are growing a water tolerant, evergreen, twining, woody stemmed climber called Hardenbergia violacea and Hardenbergia 'Alba' along the fence. At other times of the year it supports peas, eggplants and beans.

New female investors £15,000 worse off by 2030
New female investors would make £15,000 less on their investments than their male counterparts by 2030 if they started investing in 2020, according to new analysis.
Freetrade found that women in the UK would expect to make £2,152 returns on their investments this year, based on industry recommendations to invest 10% of your salary and an average ROI of 4.9%.
Male investors, however, could expect to earn £3,299 this year because of the gender pay gap, which sees them earn nearly £11,000 more than women on average.
By 2030, with men able to invest much more than women due to their higher annual returns, the difference becomes staggering. The research estimates male investors will have made £44,123 by the turn of the next decade. For women, however, this figure is just £28,786. Overall, this means there is a £15,337 discrepancy.
Using the same methodology, researchers at Freetrade have analysed how much men can make from their investments compared to women in each UK city.
The city with the highest gap between men and women is Lichfield, Staffordshire. The current gender pay gap is £17,531 there, according to the ONS, with men earning £39,910 per year and women earning £22,379.
Because of this, female investors stand to make £24,599 less than men by 2030. Men will have made a £56,001 return on their investments compared to £31,402 for women.
Just behind Lichfield are cities such as Brighton (where the gender investment gap is £18,946), Lancaster (£17,297) and Derby (£17,297).
The city with the smallest difference is Nottingham where the investment gap will be £7,211 by 2030. Men are expected to have made £34,663 compared to women at £27,452 by 2030. Closely behind Nottingham are Dundee (£7,301), Swansea (£7,638) and Westminster (£7,743).
Dan Lane, sennior analyst at Freetrade, said: "This discrepancy highlights just one of the many reasons why it is imperative for employers to continue their efforts to equalise the gender pay gap.
"These figures should not discourage women from investing as figures show the gender pay gap is closing every year. As it does, we hope women will eventually be able to see equal returns from investment in monetary terms as men, so now is a perfect time to start building your portfolio".

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said that Ankara will take the issue of the Golan Heights to the United Nations after US President Donald Trump said Washington would recognize the territory as part of Israel.
He didn't go into details during the interview to broadcaster TGRT Haber.
Erdogan called Trump's actions a "gift" to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of elections there. Israel occupied the Golan Heights, a Syrian territory, during the 1967 Six Day War, and effectively annexed it in 1981.

Q: Stop Knockoutjs validation during applyBindings (init/onload) How do I stop the validation from firing when the page first loads? I want the validation to fire when the textbox gets edited or has focus and loses focus but not when the page first loads.
My Loading code:
    $(document).ready(function () {

         ko.validation.configure({
             registerExtenders: true,
             messagesOnModified: false,
             decorateElement: true,
             errorClass: 'error',
             insertMessages: true,
             parseInputAttributes: true,
             messageTemplate: 'customMessageTemplate'
         });

        ko.applyBindings(new UserAccount(initdata), $("#UserAccount").get(0));

    });

   function UserAccount(data) {
        var self = this;

        self.UserName = ko.observable(data.UserName).extend({ required: { message: "Username is required" }, minlength: 6, maxLength: 12 });
        self.Password = ko.observable(data.Password).extend({ required:  { message: "Password is required" }, minlength: 6, maxLength: 12 });
        self.Firstname = ko.observable(data.Firstname).extend({ required: { message: "Firstname is required" }, minlength: 6, maxLength: 40 });
        ...... other code .....
     }

I have been trying to research this but nothing comes up that seems to work.  I think there might be something in ko.validation.configuration 'messagesOnModified: false' (I tried true, and deleting that all together).

A: You are on the right track: you need to set messagesOnModified: true otherwise the validation messages will be shown on load also.
However it is not working for you because you need to use the validationMessage binding in your messageTemplate otherwise it won't honor the messagesOnModified setting.
So you will need to change your template something like this:

Among quite possibly the most widespread electrical wiring concerns is on how to wire a change. When working with switches at your home is kind of uncomplicated, wiring one might not be that simple for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is really quite simple to wire. You will discover different types of switches, but for this example, let us say you will be setting up a single-pole toggle switch, an extremely common switch (as well as the easiest).
You can find a few colours of wires inside a typical single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and inexperienced. Splice the black wire in two and join them around the terminal screws - one on best as well as the other within the bottom screw of your change. The white wire serves like a supply of uninterrupted electric power and is ordinarily related into a light coloured terminal screw (e.g., silver). Connect the eco-friendly wire on the ground screw within your switch.
These measures would frequently be enough to help make a typical change get the job done and not using a challenge. Nevertheless, should you aren't self-assured that you simply can carry out the process effectively and safely you superior enable the professionals get it done as an alternative. Immediately after all, you will find a purpose why this job is one of the most popular electrical wiring inquiries questioned by most people.
For some reason, the way to wire a ceiling fan can also be certainly one of probably the most popular electrical wiring issues. To simplify this job, you should use a single swap for the single ceiling fan. To wire the lover, it truly is merely a subject of connecting the black wire in the ceiling fan to the black wire of your change. When there is a lightweight, the blue wire really should be linked to the black wire with the swap as well.
There are causes why they're probably the most generally questioned electrical wiring questions. Just one, a lot of believe it's straightforward to perform, and two, they are the prevalent electrical duties at your house. But then you certainly mustn't set your safety at risk as part of your intention to economize. The stakes could even be considerably bigger if you try to spend less and do an electrical wiring position without having ample information or practical experience.

Q: C++ No instance of function template matches speciefied type I have template:
template <typename T>
T func(const T[],int);

and I try specialize it to:
template <> char* func(const char[], int);
but I have an Error:

No instance of function template "func" matches specified type

I don't know why I cannot return char* with this template? Is the only solution is change to:
template <typename T>
T* func(const T[],int);

A: You are declaring your specialization wrong:
template <>
char func<char>(const char[], int)

If you are meaning to return a pointer, you have solved it on your own, and need to change the general case to a T*
T refers to just a typename, not including qualifiers - your function could also return T & if you wanted it to. T is just the type/name (typename!) of the object.

NBA Players Coached
What They Are Saying
WELCOME TO #coachmusselman
Pack Leads the Nation in 1,000 Point Scorers
With the win against New Mexico on Saturday, the Pack moved into a unprecedented category in college basketball. The Pack now hold 7 players who have 1,000 career points.
Those players consist of Caleb Martin, Cody Martin, Jordan Caroline, Tre Thurman, Corey Henson, Jazz Johnson and NIsre Zouzoua.
This is quite an impressive stat considering that no other team in college basketball has more than three players with 1,000 or more career points. Also, this proves the veteran team that we consist of and the success that everyone has had at Nevada and prior to joining the Wolf Pack.
Trey Porter is less than 100 points away from joining the 1,000 point club which would put us at 8 players with the career milestone.
As we focus on winning championships here and raising banners, we still want to honor each of our players individually and we realize that having this many players having scored over 1,000 career points might never be done again for years to come.
Pack Gets Revenge In Win Against New Mexico
The Pack had one thing on their mind going into the game against New Mexico and that was the feeling they were left with after playing New Mexico after losing to New Mexico on January 5th earlier this year. The only loss of the season for the Pack left our guys with a feeling they did not want to have again after a game.
From the opening tip, our players did everything to make sure the result of this rematch would be much different than the last. Our aggressive defense fueled a high powered offensive as we jumped out to an early lead and never looked back.
It was a group effort that led to a 91-62 victory in front of nearly 12,000 energetic fans in Lawlor Events Center. It was evident that te fans had the last game agianst New Mexico on their minds as well from the enegry they brought from the start of the game.
Jazz Johnson finished the game with 13 points and surpassed 1,000 points for his career. We want to congragulate Jazz on the accomplish as we have witness first hand all of the hard work he has put into his game in order to reach this milestone.
We want to thank our fans for coming out and supporting us in a game that meant a lot to us!
Pack Celebrates Black History Month
In the game today against New Mexico, the Pack will be celebrating Black History Month.
We take pride in celebrating Black History and trying to honor and continue to the legacies of those who came before us.
In hopes to have the Nevada community do the same, we wil be giving away Black History Month t-shirts to the first 1,200 students who attend the game.
As a program, we gave each of our players time to speak in front of the team on what Black History Month means to them. Our players take pride in the month and are excited to honor past and present leaders with their play on the court today.
We hope to have Lawlor rocking today as we are set to face the only team that has beaten us this season in New Mexico. Go Pack!
The Pack's Emphasis on Player Development
Since Eric Musselman was named the head coach of the Nevada Wolf Pack in 2015, he knew that player development was what he wanted his program to be known for. Immediately going after transfers, he used their time sitting out to focus on what he knew would bring the program success, player development.
First, he went after Southern Illinois freshman Jordan Caroline. We are now 4 years later and Jordan Caroline is a household name in college basketball. He went from averaging 9.2 ppg at Southern Illinois to being a finalist for the John R. Wooden Award which recognizes college basketball's best player. He is currently averaging 19.3 ppg and 10 rebounds and has Nevada as the #6 national ranked team in the country. Along side of Caroline sitting out was Missouri State transfer Marcus Marshall. Marshall averaged 19.7 points per game after his sit out year and was named Mountain West Newcomer of the Year and Mountain West All Tournament Team.
While Caroline and Marshall were finally playing at Nevada, sitting out due to transfer rules were Caleb and Cody Martin, Hallice Cooke and Kendall Stephens. All four of them came from Power 5 conference schools and were focusing on developing their game during the year they had to sit out. The workouts daily with our coaching staff helped mold them into the players that we needed them to be in order to succeed the following year. The success that came was a Sweet 16 appearance that brought Nevada to a national stage. Looking at present time, both Hallice and Kendall are playing professionally overseas and the Martin Twins are known as 2 of the best players in college basketball today.
Cody is a finalist for the Bob Cousy Award which recognizes the games best Point Guard. Caleb, a 1st Team All-American, is up for the John R. Wooden Award as college basketball's best player, the Julius Irving Award as the game's best small forward on the Oscar Robertson Trophy watch list, Lute Olseon Award watch list, Naismith Award watch list and NABC Player of the Year watch list this season. Cody has improved his game drastically from his time at North Carolina State where he averaged just 5.1 points and 1.9 assists per game. At Nevada, he has improved 13 ppg, 5.5 rebounds and 4.9 assists whil shooting 51% from the field.
Player development is the key component to the success of our program and we will continue to develop players in order for us to succeed while also providing them with the best opportunity to continue to play at the professional level once they are done with their college career.
Historic Night For Caroline in Fort Collins
With the 98-82 win against Colorado State, the Pack improved to 22-1 and Jordan Caroline made history.
With the most impressive offensive performance in the Mountain West this year, Caroline recorded 40 points and 12 rebounds. This marked his 41st double-double in Mountain West play, which is the most in conference history.
His performance propelled him past Mountain West greats Kawhi Leonard and Andrew Bogut. Both of these players have had outstanding careers in the NBA and are both NBA Champons.
To have Jordan's name mentioned with the caliber of players such as Leonard and Bogut speaks volume to the type of player that he is. Caroline has established himself as one of the most decorated players in Mountain West history and one of the best players in the country this season.
Pack Players Honored On Late Season Award Lists
With the success that the Wolf Pack has had this season so far, it has brought individual attention to our players. Three Pack players have been named to late season watch lists for two different awards.
Jordan Caroline and Caleb Martin have been named to the Wooden Award late season top 20 watch list. The John R. Wooden award is the most recognized individual honor in college hoops. The award winner is viewed as the best player in college basketball by their performance on the court while also being a quality student in the classroom.
Nevada is one of only four schools that has two representaitives on this list. Tennessee, Duke and Virginia are the other three schools.
Cody Martin is the other Pack player who is being recognized at this point in the season. The senior point guard has been named a top 10 finalist for the Cousy Award.
Caleb hs also been honored as a top 10 finalist for the Julius Erving Award. The award honors college basketball's top small forward.
The Bob Cousy Point Guard of the Year Award has honored the best point guard in college basketball for the past 15 years.
All three of our senior leaders are well deserving of the individual recognition after leading the Wolf Pack to a 21-1 record and #6 rank in the country. We know that Jordan, Cody and Caleb will continue to push our team every day in order for us to reach our goals at the end of the season.
Cody Martin Reaches 1,000 Point Milestone
With the 93-73 win over Boise State in front of the best fans in college basketball, Cody Martin surpassed 1,000 points for his career.
The senior leader reaches this accolade after being known for his unselfish play on the floor. It is only right that he reached the milestone while having one of his most efficienct overall games on the year with 21 points shooting 8 of 11 from the field, 2 of 3 from three point range and adding 4 rebounds, 4 steals and 7 assists.
Since Cody has arrived in Reno, he has been one of the leading forces that has made Nevada Basketball a nationally recognized program.
We want to thank Cody for al his has done for the program and congragulate him on reaching 1,000 points for his career. We cannot think of a more deserving player to achieve this than him.
Nevada Basketball Coaching for Literacy Saturday Night
Saturday, Febrary 2nd, Coach Musselman and Nevada Men's Basketball will be joining Coaching for Literacy (CFL) in their inaugural partnership to raise awareness about the issue of illiteracy in America and to provide support for young children struggling to read in Reno.
Fight for Literacy Games are a great way to bring coaches, players, and fans together in a common cause: ensuring our children can read.
To raise awareness about the issues connected to illiteracy, the Nevada coaching staff will wear CFL polos, green lapel pins, and wristbands.
Per the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), 69% of 4th graders in Nevada are not proficient in reading. Nevada Men's Basketball is doing its part to help change the stat and encouraging fans to get involved in the cause.
Fans can support young students in Reno by pledging a donation for each assist recorded by the Wolf Pack from 2.2 - 2.16. To make a pledge today visit: www.pledgeit.org/wolfpackforliteracy
Coaching for Literacy guarantees that 100% of funds raised will benefit children who take part in the literacy programming of UNR Center for Learning and Literacy in Reno.
Fans are also encouraged to sign up to volunteer in Reno by visiting coachingforliteracy.kindful.com/register/volunteer.
We are excited for this event and encourage fans to come to the game and donate in support for such a great cause!

Pack Players Receive Sweet 16 Rings
Before practice yesterday, Pack players received their Sweet 16 rings from last season.
Pack players returning from last year's historic run consist of Caleb and Cody Martin, Jordan Caroline, Lindsey Drew, David Cunningham, Corey Henson, Nisre Zouzoua, Jazz Johnson and Tre Thurman.
The roles of each of these players had a huge impact on the success that the program had last season, along with the players who graduated from our program.
We made sure that the rings reflected all the hard work and sacrifice that Pack players made in order for us accomplish our goals last season.
We hope that these rings motivate our players to continue working hard in order to get another ring this year!
Alan Stein Visits the Pack
World renowned speaker, author and coach, Alan Stein, visited the Pack yesterday to speak with our team.
Alan told our players multiple stories of his time working with superstar athletes such as Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant. The theme of his stories consisted around the importance of having a tremendous work ethic with everything that you do in order to seperate yourself from others. He referenced his experience with Kobe Bryant and how he would wake up at 4am to start his first workout of the day to get ahead of the compeition. The little things that the best athletes in the world do is what seperates them from the rest of those in their field.
Stein also emphasized the importance of being great in your role. There are many different roles on a team and whichever role you fall into, it is your job to be great at it in order for your team to suceed at a high level.
The motivation that Alan instilled in our players was just what we needed going into this final stretch of the regular season. We hope his words allow our guys to re-focus and lock in on what we hope to accomplish here in the next few months.
We want to thank Alan for stopping by and spending his day speaking with the Pack!

Overall Rating I first saw the product at a trade show in New York, and was delighted to see that it was on QVC. It is always in my pocket so I can read the menu and bill at my favorite restaurants. My wife loves it when she shares meals with her friends since it so easy to calculate the tip and each persons' share of the bill. We bought several units from QVC to be ready for the holidays, one for my mother, another for my mother-in-law, two for aunts, and one for our best friend. We will be the best Santa and Mrs. Santa this year ! Would you recommend this product as a gift? Yes Who would this be a perfect gift for?
I also like that it has a magnifying device with a light. Rex is forever forgetting his reading glass so I have to read to him what is on the menu. Now I can just pull out the Tip 'n Split® and he can read the menu himself.
I think this would be a great gift for your parents and grandparents or anyone who goes out to eat often.
Tip 'n Split® solves the problem of a dimly lit restaurant as it assists restaurant patrons to read the menu and bill, and then calculate tips and splits for each member of a group, if desired.
Dimly lit restaurants are no longer a problem.
It also has an inbuilt calculator to calculate the Tip and Split it to find out exactly what each person should pay.

When insurance companies determine what premium you will pay for car insurance, they take into consideration a variety of factors, including some things like the type of car you drive, how far you drive and what area you live in. Also taken into consideration are personal attributes the insurance company can glean from the information you provide, as well as your records. This information includes your driving record, as recorded by your state's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), your age, any driver education classes you have taken, and the anti-theft and safety equipment in your car. By being cautious, you can lower your insurance premium.
Your DMV record. Whenever you receive a ticket for anything, it appears on your driving record. This includes traffic violations as well as accidents. Insurance agents called underwriters have permission (granted by you when you signed up for a policy or a quote) to look into your driving record to see if you exhibit any behaviors that make you more likely to file a claim for an accident. Points against your license and traffic violations can cause you to look like an irresponsible driver. It is also important to note that when you file a claim, the insurance company will look at that record as well.
Your age. Your age has quite a bit to do with your car insurance premium. Teenagers and less experienced drivers are likely to have higher rates, even if they have not been in an accident. Males, who statistically have more accidents, are also charged more. However, as more women drive, this is likely to change. Most policies give a reduction at 21 years of age, or with 5 years experience. A further reduction can be expected at around 24 or 25. Married men, however, also receive a reduction. The reasoning is that married men think more about their responsibility to their families.
Driver education courses. When you take a driver education course, or a defensive driving class, make sure that you save the certificate of completion and send a copy to your insurance company. You can usually receive a discount for learning to be a safe driver. These classes can also help you expunge minor traffic violations from your DMV record. College and high school students can also receive premium discounts for keeping a high GPA. Better grades, in car insurance terms, mean a more responsible person.
Equipment in your car. The equipment that comes in your car, or that you put in your car, can also have an impact on car insurance premiums. If your car has an alarm, or other anti-theft devices, you receive a lower rate. Additionally, safety features that can lessen injury-related costs, like front and side airbags and a service like OnStar, can result in a lower car insurance premium.
There are things you can do to make yourself more attractive to insurance companies. By driving carefully and keeping your DMV record as clean as possible, you can keep your premiums low. Additionally, proving that you are responsible by taking driver education courses every five or six years and making sure your car has adequate safety and anti-theft measures, you can lower your insurance premiums. You, of course, cannot control your age. You can, however, show that you are a safe and responsible driver at any age.


Gov. Pat Quinn announced today that the State of Illinois has released $64 million for the new Advanced Chemical Technology Building at the University of Illinois at Chicago, a project that will strengthen biotechnology research in Illinois and bolster the state's economy.

March Madness Live Stream: How To Watch Miami Vs. Villanova For Free
By Conrad Doucette Twitter @conrad Mar 24, 2016 at 6:10pm
It's March Madness, baby! Through April 4 exactly 67 games will be played in the 2016 NCAA March Madness tournament. It's the most exciting three weeks in all of sports, bar none. Here's how to enjoy tonight's South regional matchup between the #3 Miami Hurricanes and the #2 Villanova Wildcats.
WHAT TIME DOES THE MIAMI VS. VILLANOVA GAME START?
The Hurricanes and Wildcats will tip off at 7:10 p.m. ET.
HOW CAN I LIVE STREAM THE MIAMI VS. VILLANOVA GAME?
CBS has the rights to broadcast this game. The Hurricanes/Wildcats game is being livestreamed across a variety of platforms: NCAA.com, the NCAA March Madness Live app, and over at CBS. You can also live stream the games if you are a Sling TV subscriber. (More on that below.)
PROVIDENCE, RI – MARCH 19: Davon Reed #5 of the Miami Hurricanes reacts in the second half against the Wichita State Shockers during the second round of the 2016 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament at Dunkin' Donuts Center on March 19, 2016 in Providence, Rhode Island.Photo: Maddie Meyer/Getty Images
HOW CAN I GET THE MARCH MADNESS APP?
The NCAA March Madness Live app is free to download (yay!), and available for iOS, Windows 10, and Android devices. March Madness Live is also available for Amazon Fire TV consoles, Apple TV (just search "NCAA March Madness Live" in the tvOS App Store), as well as your Roku unit.
Also, we have TERRIFIC news for you cord cutters out there. Since the game is being broadcast by CBS, you do NOT have to authenticate with your cable provider in order to watch the game on NCAA March Madness Live. Rejoice!
HOW CAN I GET THE CBS SPORTS APP?
CBS Sports is the best place to watch March Madness, as their network is the official home of the NCAA Basketball tournament. PC and tablet access to the games airing on CBS will be available at CBSSports.com, and fans can also tune into CBS Sports on Xbox One, Apple TV, Roku players and Roku TV models, and Chromecast. You can also watch the game on your phone or tablet by downloading the CBS Sports app for Windows, iOS and Android devices. Incredible news for cordcutters, too! You do not have to be a current cable subscriber to watch. Thanks, Moonvest!
HOW CAN I GET SLING TV?
This is a terrific time to check out Sling TV, which includes access to TBS and TNT (along with a bunch of other awesome networks like ESPN, HGTV and more). Sling TV is also currently offering subscribers a free one-week trial of the service, so what better time to give it a whirl than the next four days when nearly 40 different games will be played? If you're a college hoops superfan, we have even better news for you! Sling TV's "Best of Live TV" subscribers will have access to a free preview of truTV throughout the tournament (March 13-April 12), so they don't need to upgrade to Lifestyle Extra (where truTV normally lives at an extra charge of $5/mo.) to see all the truTV coverage. Now that's good customer service!

It's Things I Love / Things I Hate day! 🙂 Today I'm going to talk about a content creator who has created something really nifty, and I'll try to unpack some of the elements that are making it work.
Then I'll talk about how to Do It Wrong — in a way I see all the time.
Starting out with …
Nerdy Nummies!
This is a YouTube channel featuring Rosanna Pansino. It's a YouTube cooking show, teaching how to make snacks and treats on different nerdy themes.
So if you want to make a Minecraft birthday cake for that special someone? A Harry Potter butterbeer milkshake? Emoji waffles? Pacman popsicles? Ro is the one who'll show you how.
She made a Star Trek Voyager cake with guest Neil deGrasse Tyson. Who was wearing an Occupy Mars t-shirt. Seriously, gang, it doesn't get more epic than that.
BTW, NDGT is also an epic content marketer of ideas — I wrote about him on Copyblogger, and I'll give you a link in the show notes. I heart him.
First, this is a fantastic idea for a content channel. It's a cooking show — video tutorials are always going to do well. People like to see how to do stuff.
Then it's got that niche twist — the "nerdy" theme, that can be taken so many different places. This happens to be a niche that is part of a community — if you think about businesses like ThinkGeek, or RedBubble which makes t-shirts — we have this self-identified community that likes to buy things related to the tribe. It's an ecosystem.
Second, with this kind of "tribe-based" content, Ro Pansino is clearly a member of that tribe. When she shows how to make little Pi pies for pi day, she has that enthusiasm and insider cred that lets the audience think, "This person is like me."
We talk a lot about Authority over on Copyblogger — we named a whole community for it — because it's such a key concept with content. You have to be the one who stands up and says, "I'm going to teach you something you want to know about."
But sometimes people think "authority" means something stiff or stuffy, when in fact it's the opposite. The strongest authority comes from someone who looks like you, likes the things you like, shares your values, but knows how to do something you don't know how to do yet. This is what people miss when they say silly things like "Millennials don't value authority." Of course they do — it's just that their authority looks a little different.
If you think about this very podcast — I have this regular section, Things I Like / Things I Hate. That's a very out-there expression, because at Copyblogger we like to be meta, we love to show you what we're doing as we do it. But think about that for your audience and your content. The more you write about your take on things — what you love, and possibly what you're not a fan of, the closer you bring people to you.
It's memorable. To use Seth Godin's favorite word, it's remarkable, it creates conversations, just like I told you just now about the Star Trek Voyager cake with NDGT.
Third, although with 6 million subscribers, she's probably doing well with advertising, she doesn't rely on advertising alone to generate revenue. This kind of tutorial content lends itself to affiliate links to the tools and products, and she includes lots of them. She also has a cookbook out, which is kind of neat.
With content, for example the professional YouTubers, people sometimes things that ads are the only way to "monetize." Think business model, rather than monetization. On the web, advertising is a really tough way to make a living until you have monster traffic. Look for another way you can add value that will give a bigger payout.
Communities and courses can be really good for this. You have free tutorial content, then you have a private course. At first, think small, rather than some kind of massive comprehensive undertaking. Think a workshop, rather than a university.
Even if the tiniest sliver of your audience goes for it, you're about 10,000 times ahead of the game over advertising.
Fourth, she takes it seriously. She does a good job. The explanations are clear, the videos are well-done. This isn't thrown together, in fact my guess is that it takes her a lot of time. She publishes weekly, unlike a lot of professional YouTubers who post daily or several times a day. That gives her time to come out with something that's more evergreen and produced at a higher level.
Fifth, and the "secret sauce" that makes it work, she comes to the show with a really strong, well-defined personality. She's a cute, nerdy 20-something young woman. She's funny. She's silly. Her viewers really feel like they know her. I still see way too much content that has all the personality stripped out of it — it's really hard in the 21st century to make that work. Quit trying to be the Wikipedia of your topic. In fact, that bring me to …
Things I Hate! (sadface)
This one isn't really a "hate," more like I hate to see people waste their time with this kind of content because it's never going to go anywhere.
Fairly regularly on the blog or on Twitter or LinkedIn, we'll get someone who says, "I'm generating high-quality content and I'm not getting results." And I click through and see something right out of the content marketing paint-by-numbers manual.
I think there are some so-called "gurus" who are teaching this, and it just flat out doesn't work, and every year it works even worse.
If you have a site like this and it is working, that's great, but don't assume it's going to continue forever. The landscape will catch up with you.
These sites work like this:
Keyword phrase URL
Dozens or hundreds of generic-looking posts about the keyword phrase
No writing voice
No distinct opinion
Generic site design
Ads for things that have nothing to do with the site topic
The site creator might be working hard, but there's no evidence of any creativity, no personal voice, no connection with the audience, no values, no spark, no spice.
I call this Cream of Wheat content. It's just a bland, inoffensive mush. These sites are boring. And boring content will kill you.
Please remember: You're never going to be able to beat Wikipedia at the boring, useful content game. They have it sewn up and they probably will forever. If they lose their spot some day … it's not going to be to you.
You cannot be boring and win at content
"High-quality" doesn't only mean factual or useful — it has to be interesting.
Now in a very niche topic, you can sometimes get away with boring — but why take that risk? Why not bake some "interesting" in there now, to protect yourself against the scrappy, energetic competitor who's thinking about your topic right now?
The thing about "interesting" is that it always makes the pie bigger. You can have one defined topic, but 10 or 20 or 100 or 5000 different personalities that talk about it. In competitive topics, increasingly I think differentiating by voice and personality is a must-do, especially if you're not already an authority in the space.
One of my longtime favorite posts on this was written by Sugar Rae Hoffman, How to Survive the Affiliate Evolution. This post is nearly nine years old, and she called it then … and it's still relevant. I'll get you a link in the show notes. Rae is also a brilliant example of bringing a distinctive voice to her content and her business. She's not like anyone else … and everything she does shows her personality.
Also relevant is the combination that Brian Clark pointed us to years ago, the combination of meaning and fascination. It has to be useful and interesting. One without the other tends to spin your wheels without ever getting traction.
So that's today's session — think about what you could learn from Rosanna Pansino about being more interesting, about creating something genuinely memorable. Could you sharpen your topic the way she did, so you really speak within a defined ecosystem? Does your content have personality? Are you taking it seriously and producing something that will endure?
That's today's mini-rant. Go forth and be interesting! See you next time. 🙂

An improved crossing for bikes and pedestrians is coming to the intersection of Junction Boulevard and Park Regency Drive.
Construction is underway and expected to conclude this spring. Working hours are 7 a.m. - 4 p.m., Monday - Friday.
• A leaning rail so bicyclists waiting to cross the street don't need to dismount.
The $530,225 improvements are paid for by the Transportation Development Act. No City of Roseville General Fund money is contributing to the project.


We normally ship seed orders within 3 to 16 days, depending on the workload and if we have to obtain and process and run germination tests on new seeds.
All USA seed orders have the same $2.95 charge for shipping/handling. International orders all have the same $6.65 shipping cost, make sure that all items are allowed for importation into your country before ordering.
All seed lots are germination tested at least once a year, in case you receive defective or damaged seeds, we will ether replace the seed or offer a refund for the purchase price, if you take replacement it way take one or two weeks to get in new seed. With any replacement seed we will include some free gift seeds.
Teucrium flavum - Lightly cover seeds and use 70F, germination in 1-2 weeks, if no germination in 4 weeks put in the refrigerator for three weeks than move back to 70F.
If the directions for your seeds read something like the above example, these seeds many times will germinate without the cold period and should be sown at the recommended temperatures first. If little or no germination, move the pots to a colder location (32-39F) for the recommended period. If sown into a pot - the pot can be put into a large plastic ziplock bag and sealed up and put in the back of a fridge or if its still cool, put outside. If put outside use a sheltered location outside, away from direct exposure to bright sunlight. It is important not to let the soil/seed medium dry out during the cooling period. Also the soil/medium should not be soaking wet - just damp. By putting the pots in a plastic bag you will keep the medium from drying up.
Alchemilla mollis - Sow at 65ºF for 3 weeks then move to Fridge for 3 weeks, return to 65ºF where germination will occur in two weeks. Light helps germination so surface sow.
If the directions are like the above example the seeds need a warm-moist period first and then a cold-moist period before they will germinate. You can do this a few different ways, sow in a pot as normal and seal up in plastic bag and leave at room temperature for the recommenced period then move the pot to the fridge or outside.
If the seeds are not two small, you can sow the seeds into a small plastic baggy or container with one tablespoon of moist (not soaking wet) seed medium/soil. Keep the container with the seeds and medium at room temps for the recommenced period then move to the fridge for the recommenced cooling period. This will save you room. Keep an eye on the seeds because sometimes they will begin to germinate while in the container or bag and at that time should be sown into a pot. Gently scatter the soil-seed mix over the soil in a pot and gently water down with a few hands full of water so that the seeds are in good contact with the soil in the pot. In the above example the seeds need light - so leave as is, otherwise sprinkle a thin layer of soil-medium over the top of the seeds and water some more.
Another way to sow the seeds that need a cold period is to sow them in pots or trays and place them in a sheltered location outside in the fall or winter. If the seeds need a warm-moist period first, they will need to be sown in late summer or early fall - or you can sow them inside in the winter and then move them outside after the warm period is done (Make sure that it will be cool enough outside, long enough to fulfill the seeds needs). One can also sow seeds in the fall and bring them inside again in late winter for early germination. This will give a few weeks of growth and larger plants when it is time to plant outside. If you have a cold window sill, it can be used for the cold period too - make sure that it stays below 42 degrees Fahrenheit for most of the day. If you use a cool window sill in the winter you may need to increase the cooling period by double, keep an eye for germinating seeds. ( Most seedlings of plants that need a cold-moist chilling period can handle cold temps as small plants, so do not move the pots until a good percent of the seeds have germinated). Keep soil/medium moist at all times and prevent drying by putting in a plastic bag.
For most seeds that need a cold-moist period, the cooling period does not need to be below freezing, with 34-39 degrees Fahrenheit giving the best results. But for most of the seeds in RANUNCULACEAE plus a few others, the cooling period needs to be colder, with 15-25 degrees Fahrenheit working well. The seeds include those plants in: Aconitum, Anemone, Caltha, Hepatica, Ranunculus, Trollius.
If you are not going to sow your seeds right away, they should be stored in a cool dry location, most seeds can be stored for a few years in the fridge. Seeds from tropical plants should be stored warmer 55-70 degrees Fahrenheit. Avoid exposing stored seeds to direct sun light and/or high humidity/water.


Today, you need to be on social media to have credibility. Not only that, it's very common that with the growing number of social networks, you need to be on more than 4 or 5 at a time.
Probably at first people think that they can easily manage all of their social profiles, the same way they manage their personal Facebook profile. But as the time goes by, the competition is bigger, the followers are growing in number, and the expectations for you or your brand grow tremendously.
Time becomes limited and you notice that you simply can't manage it all!
The reason that we have so many social networks, it's because they all function very differently. Each network has its rules and standards to abide by, and you can't just post the same content and the same way on every one of them.
The number of social networks you need to be on depends on your brand and your target audience. The main ones to consider are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and LinkedIn.
This is the dilemma for a lot of companies, much like "to be or not be". Do you keep things the same and struggle to manually manage your social media? Or do you automate key processes to get the best results? Most people don't know enough about social media automation, how to do it, why, and what results this could bring to their business.
So, let's look at the advantages of automation.
one of the biggest advantages of automating your social media is that your posts will show up more frequently in your follower's timelines. Automating your scheduling will allow you to be there all day, every day, without the need of you to go online and push the post button each time.
As we mentioned before, the need of being in more than 4 or 5 social networks at the same time can be overwhelming. Using an automation tool will allow you to manage as many networks as you want, pay attention and be present in each one of them, and will save you hours of your time.
There is no point of being in a social network if you're not actually reaching people. Automating your social media will allow you to reach more people.
They will see you during the day in their timelines, and you will generate more engagement and gain more followers as your valuable content goes viral.
So what do you actually automate?
Step 1 – Automate posting & scheduling.
Start planning the schedule of your posts by days, or weeks. In the beginning, schedule at least 2 or 3 days ahead.
You can schedule your posts with queues that will be published according to the time you set, and you can even recycle the content of your queues (have it publish all your posts and then go back to the first one and start over again).
Set the timing of every post for each day, and of course, plan your content carefully. For this, you will need an automation tool that we'll discuss further in this article.
Step 2 – Repurpose content.
Like we mentioned earlier, every social network it's different, hence you need to treat them accordingly. In order to engage with the audience of every network, you need to adapt or repurpose your content. You can use different posts for each one, but also you can change a little the message or the images according to the standards of that social network. Here is a great article about adapting your content to different platforms. for each platform.
It's very important for you to interact with your followers, receive and give feedback, and engage with them in order to build long lasting relationships. When you have a certain amount of profiles to manage, and hundreds or even thousands of followers in each one of them, it's practically impossible to engage with everyone. That's when you can use tactics like sending an automatic message to every new person who follows or sending automatic messages to all of your followers from time to time.
There are tools like Social Inbox that will allow you to check all your mentions, likes, shares, comments and direct messages in one place. So you save time logging in to each network separately. This way you can not only automate message but check all the interactions and feedback you receive on all of your profiles and reply accordingly.
If you want to stay in business, you need to know what are your competitors doing, what are their followers doing and what they want. You also need to know the latest trends and what everyone is talking about.
For this, you have to keep constantly monitoring several social networks, competitors, etc. If you do it, and you do it well, you will find an amazing amount of valuable information that you can use to shape your strategy and become more competitive.
You can find tools like Monitoring keywords and hashtags, and Suggested Content feed that allow you to do this in the easiest way. Seriously, our lives cannot be any easier with a number of tools and features we have nowadays to automate our job, and not only that but be more productive and efficient.
Step 5 – Use a social media management platform.
There a lot of social media platforms out there, you just have to find the one that suits you and your business the most. There are ones that are specialized in just certain features, and there are other that offer a complete list of features and tools to handle all of your social media automation.
I recommend eClincher, a platform that offers the complete set of features for automation: publishing, auto post, auto post with queues, social monitoring and listening and the social inbox. The best thing about them is that they are super responsive, they answer each customer right away, and help you get everything set up.
Automating social media profiles can make your life and business way easier. You can easily manage several profiles in several social networks, you can boost your engagement, and search for the latest trends to make sure that your content is always relevant.
It's really important to understand the difference between every social network and see how you can position your brand in each one of them.
There is no guide for telling you exactly how to do it, but by following the steps in this article, you'll begin to understand your community of followers and how to best manage your brand in social media.
I hope this has been really useful to you. Let me know your thoughts on this, and see you next time!

Can we use "but also" without "not only"
let's begin with the example:
Women achieved the abolition of bigamy in 1950(for example). This action, in turn, paved the way for other women's rights, but also led to a huge backlash against them.
By using this instance, I wanted to ask whether "but also" can only be used with "not only" or we can use it separately. I should add that, the structure of the sentence and refinements could be done to it is not noteworthy to me since it is just an example to discuss the abovementioned inquiry although if you provide it apart from replying to the chief question I appreciate it. Thank you in advance for your contribution.

Yes, it can be used separately, each word having its normal meaning. – Kate Bunting May 7 '20 at 14:59
This sentence is correct, but it's not using but also as a single construct. It's using but as a conjunction, and it's using also as an adverb, and it's mostly a coincidence that they're next to each other.
We could replace either with a synonym and not change the meaning of the sentence:
... although it also led to a huge backlash against them.
... but additionally led to a huge backlash against them.
