Q: How to use disabled property ?Angular 10 disabled property not working ---Update---
i posted this question earlier but did not get the solution. in one github blog i found out "isButtonDisabled" alone will not work and need to call a function.In my code i can only bring a boolean value after validating some conditions in ts. whats going wrong?
github link
I have tried both [disabled] or disabled. It is not working as per my condition in typescript. I have 4 buttons where i need to implement this based on my typescript condition. I have 7 conditions with which i need to evaluate. As of now the button gets disabled irrespective of the condition. Please suggest any other ways to achieve it
HTML
<button type="button" [disabled]="isButtonDisabled"
              style="background: #79CEA4 !important;color: #FFFFFF !important;font-size: 13px;font-weight: 600;margin-right: 20px"
              class="btn  btn-lg" (click)="finish()">FINISH</button>

TS
isButtonDisabled:boolean;
for (var EmployeeList of Employee){
        if ((EmployeeList.EmployeeStatus== 'Active')  {
          this.isButtonDisabled= false;
          return 'circle3';
        }
        else if((EmployeeList.EmployeeStatus== 'Inactive') {
           this.isButtonDisabled= true;
           return 'circle1';

}

A: The problem there is that the normal html <button> interprets disabled="anything" as disabled.
So in Angular you can achieve having the attribute vs. not having the attribute using the below:
<button [attr.disabled]="isButtonDisabled ? true: null"...

Une rue caladée, encaladée ou en calade, ou plus simplement une calade, désigne en Provence et en Languedoc une voie de communication, une chaussée pavée de galets fluviatiles ou empierrée de pierres calcaires. Dans ce dernier cas, les pierres sont posées verticalement, sur chant (sur la tranche).

Le verbe calader signifie « paver », « empierrer » (en occitan caladar). L'artisan spécialisé dans le caladage des chaussées était le caladier (en occitan caladaire). On dit aujourd'hui caladeur.

Dans les campagnes, le terme calade était également employé pour désigner les aires de dépiquage empierrées de forme ronde ou carrée, les sols de cours de maisons, les sols d'écuries.

Origines du mot
Calade est la francisation du terme de la langue d'oc calada signifiant
 la pierre silencieuse qui sert à paver les rues ;
 le pavé, la rue pavée.

Matériau

Autrefois, pour calader, on employait un matériau de provenance locale pour éviter des frais de transport. Il s'agissait de déchets de carrière, de dépouille de chantier, de matériau de démolition, de pierriers. On faisait attention à éviter la pierre gélive.

À partir d'un tas de pierres en vrac, on faisait trois lots :
 les pierres d'ossature : caniveaux, bordures, séparations ;
 les pierres appelées à servir de marches (pierres longues et plates, enfoncées profondément dans le sol pour résister à la poussée latérale) ;
 les pierres de remplissage, vouées à combler les vides entre les pierres d'ossature ou entre ces dernières et les marches.

Dans les Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, l'architecte Claude Perron note l'emploi de cailloux de calcaire dur pour les pays de montagne comme Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, de galets pour le plateau de Valensole et le bord de la Durance ou encore de molasse calcaire en délit autour de Mane.

Mise en œuvre
Les pierres étaient posées généralement à sec (sans mortier), sur du remblai ou du sable ou parfois, pour éviter qu'elles ne s'enfoncent, sur d'autres pierres posées horizontalement. Celles-ci étaient posées de chant, fortement serrées les unes contre les autres, ou jointives, de façon que leur surface de contact soit aussi grande que possible et, ce faisant, qu'elles se bloquent mutuellement. Les interstices restants étaient comblés avec de la menue pierraille. De la terre fine, parfois abatardie de chaux, permettait un calage fin des pierres.

Du fait de l'absence de mortier, la calade n'est pas rigide, elle peut se déformer au gré des mouvements du sol ou sous le poids des charges qui y circulent. Pour cette raison, on disposait des raidisseurs, composés de pierres adjacentes, entre deux marches (voir la photo du chemin encaladé à Bonifacio). Les raidisseurs permettaient aussi de créer un creux central, qui servait de caniveau ou fil d'eau. Coupant le palier en deux, ils facilitaient la mise en œuvre des pierres.

La calade n'est pas hermétique non plus, elle laisse s'évaporer l'eau qui est en excès dans le sous-sol.

Des dalles posées à plat pouvaient être employées pour réaliser le filet d'eau central ou, sous forme d'une rangée, devant les boutiques.

Pas-d'âne
Pas-d'âne, ce terme imagé du vocabulaire du caladage, et son synonyme « pas de mule », désignent, dans une allée déclive, les vastes paliers encaladés successifs que séparent des marches (hauteur : 16 -17 cm) et dont la longueur est calculée de telle sorte que le nombre de pas (1 pas = 60 cm) soit impair et qu'ainsi on aborde la marche suivante de l'autre pied. On parle de « chemin pavé à pas-d'âne ». La distance moyenne de chaque palier correspond à 60 cm, ce qui permettait au caladaire de travailler aisément une marche après l'autre de bas en haut en commençant par le bas.

Ces pas-d'âne ou pas de mule remplaçaient une allée déclive souvent peu confortable à parcourir et sujette à l'érosion.

Le pas-d'âne pouvait aussi avoir une raison technique lorsque la pente ne permettait pas la mise en place d'une marche de hauteur confortable (environ 17 cm) tous les 60 cm maximum.

Extension géographique
En dehors de la Provence, on peut voir des calades proprement dites dans le Languedoc, dans le comté de Nice et en Corse (avec ses ricciade, ruelles aménagées en rampes d'accès pourvues de longues marches de faible hauteur ou pas d'âne).

Des techniques similaires se rencontrent dans le bassin méditerranéen : ainsi en Ligurie (Italie).

Disparition
L'établissement des réseaux d'eau et du tout-à-l'égout a provoqué la disparition de beaucoup de ces revêtements.

Autres emplois du mot
 La Calade est un quartier de Marseille.
 Les habitants de Villefranche-sur-Saône sont appelés Caladoises et Caladois en référence aux calades de cette ville.
 Château de la Calade, commune d'Aix-en-Provence (doit son nom au caladage des accès d'un pont en terrain marécageux).

South Australian Parliament Inquiry
How you can save lives
A wilted rose by any other name…
We all know that euthanasia and assisted suicide activists like to use euphemistic language.
Whether it be "dying with dignity," "voluntary assisted dying" or "compassionate care," euthanasia advocates try to mask the grim nature of what they propose with pleasant-sounding catchphrases so as to make it appear more palatable than it really is.
This use of euphemisms does not stop at their social advocacy; it extends into their political machinations as well.
This has become especially apparent in New South Wales, with an overwhelming majority of the state's Voluntary Euthanasia Party voted to become the NSW branch of the Reason Party, a move that the Sydney Morning Herald describes as "a bid to put assisted dying laws back on the legislative agenda."
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, euthanasia activists thought running as a single-issue party was an "electoral liability." The paper reports:
Dying with Dignity vice-president Shayne Higson, who has run for the Voluntary Euthanasia Party in two state elections, two federal elections and the Wentworth byelection, said being a single-issue party was an electoral liability.
"The feedback from our volunteers is that although people support our issue and would really love to send a message to a NSW Parliament, they are concerned about electing representatives who are running for a single-issue party," Ms Higson said.
She went on to say that euthanasia and assisted suicide was "always" a priority for the Reason Party.
In other words, the priority of euthanasia and assisted suicide remains, but the name has been changed so that the motives of the party aren't apparent from the ballot paper.
It's unsurprising the "Voluntary Euthanasia Party" was looking for a name change, because euthanasia advocates don't even use the word "euthanasia" anymore, fearing that it has too many negative connotations.
However, they're not planning on waiting until the next state election to reignite their euthanasia campaign.
The Sydney Morning Herald also reported that Ms Higson has been seeking meetings with cross-party MPs known to support euthanasia. It seems that advocates are hoping to force NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian to renege on her vow that there would no more conscience votes during this term of parliament.
HOPE will continue to closely monitor what is happening across Australia, including this latest threat in NSW.

Venezuela Reviews Relations with Colombia as More US Bases Established
July 24, 2009 12:00 am Published by Kiraz Janicke Leave your thoughts
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez announced on Monday night that bilateral relations with neighbouring Colombia are being fully reviewed following the decision by Colombia to allow the United States to use five military bases in its territory. A high-level bilateral meeting of the Colombia-Venezuela Commission, which was set to meet Tuesday July 21st, was also suspended.
Chavez said he had instructed Venezuelan Foreign Relations Minister Nicolas Maduro to conduct a full review of bilateral relations, including diplomatic relations because Colombia's decision represents a threat to Venezuela.
"We very much regret the situation, but we have to review relations with the government of Colombia because they are opening the doors to those who attack us constantly, to those who are preparing new attacks and who have overthrown governments and are supporting the coup in Honduras – the State Department and the Southern Command," said the Venezuelan head of state.
The new military accord between the US and Colombia comes as the US has been forced to pull out of its Manta military base in Ecuador, after the government of Rafael Correa refused to renew an agreement allowing US military personnel to operate there.
The full details of the agreement have not been released, but in early July, Colombian magazine Cambio reported that in the framework of increased "cooperation" between Colombia and United States, the US will begin to operate in five Colombian military bases in Palanquero (center), Alberto Pouwels (north), Apiay (south), and two Navy facilities: in Cartagena de Indias, on the Caribbean coast and Malaga on the Pacific coast.
The central point of operations will Palanquero, a base located between the departments of Caldas and Cundinamarca, which has capacity for 60 aircraft and a runway of 3,500 meters and where the take off and landing of three aircraft can occur simultaneously, Cambio reported.
Colombian Defence Minister Gen. Freddy Padilla confirmed the information, but said there may be some changes.
Colombian President Álvaro Uribe defended the decision on Monday saying it was justified by the fight against drug trafficking and guerrillas. Uribe said the United States will only have "limited access to military facilities in Colombia."
However, Senator Piedad Cordoba, from the opposition Liberal Party in Colombia, told the Venezuelan-based news channel, Telesur, on Saturday that it was "shameful" that Colombians had to find out about the decision through a magazine.
The proposal has not even been put to the Colombian parliament for debate, "the government has been making under the table agreements" so that the US can use Colombian military bases, she added.
Responding to Uribe, the senator argued that the Colombian government's "war on drugs" is a "total failure," and the agreement constitutes a "threat to the region."
Moreover, Cordoba declared, a clear majority of Colombians support a political and negotiated solution to the war with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), not a policy of escalation "that jeopardises the safety of our neighbours."
"Fundamentally, it is very shameful because we are left as some servants of the empire, doing errands, acting as scabs, handing over territory and losing dignity," she emphasised.
In 2008 Venezuela and Colombia, a key US ally in the region, clashed over a cross-border attack by Colombian military forces on a FARC encampment in Ecuador. The attack was condemned by all Organisation of American States (OAS) member nations apart from the US and Colombia.
Former Colombian Defence Minister Juan Manuel Santos justified the actions as "legitimate self-defence", saying Colombia would strike at "terrorists" wherever they are. However, Chavez countered that Colombia's actions were a "threat to peace in South America."
At the time Chavez charged that Colombia, acting as a US proxy, was carrying out a dress rehearsal for a possible future attack on Venezuela.
Other Latin American leaders have also raised concerns about the role of US military bases in the region.
During a ceremony to celebrate Bolivian Independence Day in La Paz on July 16th, Bolivian President Evo Morales said that the US aims to install military bases in the region under the guise of the 'war on drugs', but in reality trains military personnel to carry out coups, such as the coup in Honduras, that overthrew the democratically elected president Manuel Zelaya on June 28.
"Those who accept them [US bases] are traitors to the Homeland…never again should [foreign] military bases exist in Latin America."
Ecuador's Defence Minister Javier Ponce also described an increased US presence in neighbouring Colombia as "worrying."

S01E01 - Second Moment of Creation Air Date: 01 March 2018 21:00 -
Sorry, but right now we don't have any sources for this episode.
The first episode looks at the formative role that art and the creative imagination have played in the forging of humanity itself.
As time passes the elements of civilisation are assembled: written language, codes of law, and expressions of warrior power forged in metals. And humanity begins to produce art not just for ritual, as Simon discovers in Minoan civilisation.
But how do such cultures arise and how do they fall? Simon travels to the civilisations of Petra in the Middle East and the Maya in Central America to answer those questions. He finds that ultimately civilisations depend on humanity's relationship with the environment for their survival, and while all believe in their own continuity, all are doomed to fall.
S01E02 - How Do We Look? Air Date: 01 March 2018 21:00 -
Mary Beard looks at images of the human body in ancient art, seeking answers to fundamental questions at the heart of ideas about civilisations.
Why have human beings always made art about themselves? What were these images for? And in what ways do some ancient conventions of representing the body still affect us now?
In raising these questions Mary argues that the way we look at art can influence our ideas of what it is to be civilised. The colossal prehistoric Olmec heads in Mexico set the scene. In a culture with no written record, all we can do is puzzle about what these images were for, whom they represented, and why they were constructed.
S01E03 - Picturing Paradise Air Date: 01 March 2018 21:00 -
Simon Schama examines one of our deepest artistic urges: the depiction of nature.
Simon discovers that landscape painting is seldom a straightforward description of observed nature; rather it's a projection of dreams and idylls, as well as of escapes and refuges from human turmoil; the elusive paradise on earth. Simon begins in the 10th century, in Song dynasty China. The Song scrolls are never innocent of the values of that world: the landscapes depict immense mountains projecting imperial authority. But as that authority was threatened and overwhelmed, majestic mountains are represented in geological turmoil, writhing and heaving.
S01E04 - The Eye of Faith Air Date: 01 March 2018 21:00 -
Professor Mary Beard broaches the controversial, sometimes dangerous, topic of religion and art. For millennia, art has inspired religion as much as religion has inspired art. Yet there are fundamental problems, which all religions share, in making the divine visible in the human world. How, and at what cost, do you make the unseen seen? Beneath all works of religious art there always lies conflict and risk. The result is often iconoclasm - the destruction of works of art - which Mary believes can lead on to new forms of creativity.
Mary visits sacred sites across the world to examine the contested boundaries between religion and art. She goes to the temple of Angkor Wat, the Tintoretto Crucifixion in Venice, the Buddhist caves of Ajanta and the Blue Mosque in Istanbul, as she seeks to break down the conventions that centre some religions around images, while others are seen as hostile to artistic representation. She shows how all faiths (and their artists) face the same fundamental problems of treading a careful line between glorifying gods in images and blaspheming by daring to represent the divine.
She ends at the Parthenon in Athens, a building that has been in turn a pagan temple, a Christian church and a mosque. Now, as a monument to Western civilization itself and a tourist pilgrimage site, she asks us to wonder what we now worship - how far we look at civilization itself with 'the eye of faith'.
S01E05 - The Triumph of Art Air Date: 01 March 2018 21:00 -
The fifth film in Civilisations goes east and west with Simon Schama: to Papal Rome but also to Ottoman Istanbul and Mughal Lahore and Agra, exploring those connections and rivalries, and examining how the role of artists from the different traditions of West and East developed in the years that followed the Renaissances. That rivalry unfolds most spectacularly over the creation of domes – in Ottoman Istanbul the great engineer-architect Mimar Sinan builds the light-flooded Süleymaniye mosque, while at the same time in Rome Michelangelo designs the great dome over the St Peter's Basilica. The fate of the hero-artist, seemingly touched by God, with the gift of making visual miracles, henceforth diverged in east and west.
In Europe, as the century turned, artists such as Benvenuto Cellini with his sculpture of Perseus with the Head of Medusa could lay claim to sovereignty over the world of art. The greatest European artists like Caravaggio, Velasquez and Rembrandt shook off decorum and turned muscular, earthy, and theatrical. Meanwhile in the East Mughal art, still capable of acts of breath-taking architectural and painterly beauty, as expressed in mausoleums like the I'timad-ud-Daulah and gorgeous miniature paintings, became ever more refined, poetic and exquisite.
S01E06 - First Contact Air Date: 01 March 2018 21:00 -
In the 15th and 16th centuries distant and disparate cultures met, often for the first time. These encounters provoked wonder, awe, bafflement and fear. And, as historian of empire David Olusoga shows, art was always on the frontline. Each cultural contact at this time left a mark on both sides: the magnificent Benin bronzes record the meeting of an ancient West African kingdom and Portuguese voyagers in a spirit of mutual respect and exchange. By contrast we think Spain's conquest of Central America in the 16th century as decimating the Aztecs and eviscerating their culture.
But David shows even in Mexico rare surviving Aztec artworks recall a more nuanced story. He travels to Japan to explore how the Tokugawa Shogunate, after an initial embrace, became so wary of outside interference that they sought to cut ties with the outside world. But in their art, as in their trade, they could never truly isolate themselves from foreign influences. By contrast the Protestant Dutch Republic was itself an entirely new kind of creature: a market driven nation-state. It was a system that created new freedoms and opportunities as embodied in the world-infused art of Johannes Vermeer, or the watercolours of the naturalist and illustrator Maria Sibylla Merian.
David ends with the transitional story of the British in India: at first the British were as open to foreign influence as the Dutch. But by the 1800s they became more aggressive and the era of encounters gave way to the era of muscular empire, that was dismissive of India's arts and cultures.
S01E07 - Radiance Air Date: 01 March 2018 21:00 -
Simon Schama starts his meditation on colour and civilisation with the great Gothic cathedrals of Amiens and Chartres. He then moves to 16th century Venice where masterpieces such as Giovanni Bellini's San Zaccaria altarpiece and Titian's Bacchus and Ariadne contested the assumption that drawing would always be superior to colouring. As the Baroque took hold in enlightenment Europe another Venetian, Giambattista Tiepolo, created a ceiling fresco Apollo and the Four Continents at the Bishop's palace in Würzburg.
In a glorious sequence Simon celebrates this grand opera of light, colour, and dancing line: a dizzying lift-off into 18th century elation. But if light could open the gates of ecstasy it could also drop art into the abyss. Francisco Goya began by working in the Venetian tradition but in the last years of his life his Black Paintings drained colour from the world of light. The art of colour discovered a new mission which somehow sustained the old: how to make life in cities bearable, even beautiful. Simon travels to Japan to where in the 18th and 19th century an urban explosion generated a demand for cheap, mass produced woodblock prints suffused with dazzling colour. These prints by artists such as Hokusai were hugely influential on the impressionists and postimpressionists.
Simon ends the film in Matisse's great chapel at Vence, where colour is used – against a backdrop of the Second World War - once more to enrapture, enlighten and as a path to God.
S01E08 - The Cult of Progress Air Date: 01 March 2018 21:00 -
If David Olusoga's first film in Civilisations is about the art that followed and reflected early encounters between different cultures, his second explores the artistic reaction to imperialism in the 19th century. David shows the growing ambivalence with which artists reacted to the idea of progress – both intellectual and scientific - that underpinned the imperial mission and followed the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution. Advances in knowledge and technology imbued Europeans in the 19th century with a sense of their civilisation's superiority. It justified their imperial ideology. But it created among artists a deep fascinations with other civilisations which in turn produced a scepticism about their own. By contrast, as European artists questioned their civilisation's 'advance', in America painters sought to capture an idea of their new nation's 'manifest destiny' in landscapes. And in their representation of the Native Americans they sought to record for posterity the world and the cultures they were violently displacing. But this was not always the case.
David shows how in New Zealand one artist was co-opted by the Maori who used his sills to record their culture and celebrate their ancestors. As the 19th Century came to an end, the certainties of industrial and scientific advance were increasingly questioned; many artists (Gauguin and Picasso amongst them) turned to non-Western art and culture for inspiration. And in the face of the catastrophic conflict of the First World War, the idea that progress, reason and industrial advance were guarantors of higher 'civilisation' was rejected.
David ends the film with a powerful meditation on Otto Dix's nightmarish and ironic evocation of the horror of the trenches, the triptych Der Krieg (The War).
S01E09 - The Vital Spark Air Date: 01 March 2018 21:00 -
Simon Schama begins Civilisations with this premise: that it is in art - the play of the creative imagination - that humanity expresses its most essential self: the power to break the tyranny of the humdrum, the grind of everyday. Art, then, makes life worth living; it is the great window into human potential. And societies become civilised to the extent that they take culture as seriously as the prosecution of power, or the accumulation of wealth. But in the century of total war and industrial slaughter was (and is) that enough? The cause of humanity went up in the smoke of the Nazi crematoria. Horror and terror brushed beauty aside and stamped on its pretensions. And in the modern world art has become increasingly commodified.
Simon's last programme explores the fate of art in the machine and profit-driven world. It looks at the rise of art as a tradeable commodity and turns on one central question: should art create a realm separate from the modern world, a place where we can escape and pull the ladder up after us? Or should it plunge headlong into the chaos and cacophony while transforming the way we see it and live in it? Using the works of both dead and contemporary artists of the 20th and 21st Simon seeks answers to these profound questions.
His conclusion is imbued with hope: despite all the travails of the present, by engaging with the here-and-now art still offers civilisation an insight into the incomprehensibility of the world and a way to transcend its horrors with the enduring creativity of the human spirit.

Nativity scene uses drowning animals, plastic bottles to send message on climate change
"'God so loved the world…' Will we?" reads a sign above the scene.
December 10, 2019 at 3:58 AM CST - Updated December 10 at 3:58 AM
DEDHAM, Mass. (WFXT/CNN) - A Massachusetts church surrounded its Nativity figures with plastic bottles and an encroaching sea of blue in hopes of starting a conversation on climate change.
At St. Susanna's Parish in Dedham, Massachusetts, baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph and other quintessential Bible figures are depicted amid a blue sea. Drowned animals and plastic bottles float alongside the manger.
Pastor Stephen Josoma says the congregation wants to send a message about climate change.
"It's happening as we speak. It's not a future event that may or may not happen," he said. "I think we have to kind of gather people's awareness to bring about a change of mind and heart to begin to do what we're able to do to take care of this world of ours."
The church parishioners agree.
"Jesus was born into the circumstances of his time. You can't pick up the paper or magazine or whatever without learning something dire," said parishioner Pat Ferrone.
But some Dedham residents find the politicization of the Nativity troubling.
"I don't think it's a good idea to mix those two topics together. It's in bad taste," resident Mike Looby said.
Creating political conversations has become part of the Nativity tradition at St. Susanna's. In 2017, the church called to mind some of the country's deadliest mass shootings, and last year, the Nativity scene was surrounded by a cage to draw attention to the crisis at the border.
Josoma hopes the scenes at least motivate people to start thinking.
"The Gospel calls us to action. It calls us to see life in a different way. It calls us to bring a different set of values into our world," he said.
In recent days, the Claremont United Methodist Church in California has also drawn national attention for its nativity scene, in which Jesus, Mary and Joseph are depicted as refugees in cages. The scene was designed to send a message about family separation at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Institutions love its defensive, growth and yield attractions, and Amazon is its biggest customer.
Can "Big Box" logistics assets continue to grow in a Brexit environment? If they can, buy shares in the near-£2 billion specialist real estate investment trust Tritax Big Box (LSE:BBOX), currently at around a 9% discount to prospective net asset value.
However, could a recent drop on its chart be an indication of tougher times ahead?
Tritax has performed resiliently for capital growth and income since I drew attention in December 2013, then trading at around its 100p issue price, and with insiders buying £455,000 of stock.
I've updated various times with a positive view on this investment grade stock offering lower risk than many other capital growth/yield situations. The market price reached a 157p high last June, and the payout has more than doubled to over 6p per share, giving a 3-5%-plus annual yield over five years.
It then succumbed to the second-half 2018 market malaise, falling to 130p last December, which has thrice been affirmed as a support level when the stock bounced off it. Last June's diluted net asset value (NAV) was 145.4p per share, or 146.2p according a European Public Real Estate asset value, which excludes debt adjustments linked to hedges and deferred tax.
My sense is that, despite dilution from two shares issues in the last 10 months, the progress warrants targeting 150p underlying NAV, and the board has guided for a 6.7p dividend in respect of 2018 overall. the progressive payout policy supported by upward-only rent reviews. At 136.5p a share currently, the yield is therefore 5% and growing.
A chief question for the rating is whether the Big Box investment property market is approaching maturity after assets have been agglomerated by the likes of Tritax, such that investors temper expectations of growth. While in recent years Tritax shares have enjoyed a slight premium to NAV in recognition of growth prospects, their recent fall has opened up the more typical discount you see among property investment stocks. It also ensures a meaningful yield lest capital growth rates slow.
That's not the current scenario however, as management continues to expand – it's just spent £370 million on db Symmetry which has one of the UK's largest strategic land portfolios for development of Big Box warehouse facilities. As land becomes scarcer at major UK logistics sites, this move is intended to boost competitive advantage - offering scope to add over 38 million square feet of property assets.
The bear case would be the UK economy undergoing a permanent reduction in output and prosperity like those pessimistic of Brexit suggest, although that seems a worst-case scenario, while it's worth considering the vital role big warehouses have in the digital economy. As a property investment theme this is radically different and preferable say to shopping centres, even offices.
A 17 January update in respect of the 2018 results (due 6 March) did not reference market forecasts or guide profits, but affirmed a progressive dividend policy, citing an aggregate payout of 6.7p per share in respect of 2018.
Eight new Big Box investments have, since purchasing, shown a weighted average yield of 5.1% and a value uplift of 7.5%. The group portfolio shows a 4.7% uplift for 2018.
Significantly, the latest strategic land acquisition is targeted to provide an average yield on cost of developing new assets of 7-8%, versus a valuation yield of 4.4% for the group portfolio as of end-2018.
Without assuming much about value uplift for 2019 given the current muddle of Brexit, this stock is one likely to benefit if a withdrawal deal does pass parliament, and become a more attractive 'buy' if it does drop on a no-deal Brexit, given industry demand for its specialist properties and with interest rates likely to be kept low. Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is the largest tenant with 13.6% of the group's contracted income, UK logistics lettings demand remains strong and market rates continue to grow.
The update cited £834 million debt drawn from a £1.46 billion facility, with an average 8.7 years to maturity and a weighted average running cost of 2.63% - hence, in such sense the group assets are value-accretive. Mind a £156 million equity issue was made last April at 142.5p a share, to fund the acquisition pipeline, which came at the cost of 8% dilution, and a latest one for £250 million at 130p a share has incurred a further 14% dilution, which blurs the path of value creation.
This latest debt compares with the end-June balance sheet showing £207 million bank borrowings plus £492 million of loan notes, offset by £105 million cash, in context of £2,144 million net assets, hence net gearing of 27.7%. Total net finance costs shaved 10.5% off operating profit. Thus, debt management appears prudent if having a preferred limit given the current acquisition also involves shares as part consideration, besides the capital-raising.
Possibly as a result of being rather tightly held i.e. not much free float, and also a moving feast of acquisitions, no broker seems to want to stick their neck out on Tritax. Last August, independent broker Numis raised its target from 150p to 153p, though the market went against this positive view for four months.
I've dropped earnings per share (EPS) projections for 7.6p (in respect of both 2018 and 2019) from the table, as these are 18 months old, over which time management has made about 10 acquisitions and says, regarding the purchase of db Symmetry, that it will "contribute materially to the group's ability to continue to deliver strong earnings growth and a progressive dividend policy as well as significant valuation gains as these assets move through development to become income producing."
A case, therefore, of trusting management, I suggest justifiably given their track record to date of value creation. This goes back prior to the formation of this REIT, and why they were able to start it with institutional funds.
Before this news - also the 17 January update - Brewin Dolphin wealth managers declared a 5% stake, up from below the 3% threshold, the first Regulatory News Service announcement on stock holdings since May 2017. The price did then advance to 141p but was hit by the 130p placement price. At 136.5p currently, the shares are only 5% up from their recent low.
As a follower for five years, I draw a line between Tritax's keen support at its float, and Brewin's stake-build. The institutions see this property segment as having defensive, growth and yield attractions, and also that this management is the best available. While some big institutions invest in property directly, in this specialist area it has made sense to back a REIT.
The chief uncertainty is whether Brexit tips both Europe and the UK into slowdown, exacerbating discounts-to-NAV for property investment stocks. Yet structural change in retailing should continue to drive demand for Big Box space where Tritax looks to be establishing medium-term leadership with this land acquisition.
It will never be an exciting investment, but merits awareness again as Brexit comes to a head. Either UK assets will re-rate with an exit deal approved by 29 March, or are exposed to a short-term drop.
Clearly, Brewin Dolphin considers this stock defensive enough and with dividend growth potential to make it worth tucking away at current prices. Accumulate.

Leading Sustainable Growth at Flexential
byStephen Diorio
How Chris Downie is Unlocking the Growth Potential of The Market for Scalable Cloud Infrastructure
Our team of experts from the Revenue Enablement Institute studies how leading organizations are transforming their commercial models to accelerate revenue growth. We profile growth leaders – CXOs – who are at the forefront of defining, enabling, and leading the execution of the 21st Century Commercial Model.
Chris Downie is the Chief Executive Officer of Flexential a data center and hybrid IT company. Over the past five years he has overseen the expansion of the business from a regional player into a national and scalable cloud infrastructure platform that now includes 39 data centers that span most of the fastest growing population centers in the US.
Chris shared the steps he is taking to unlock more growth at Flexential now that his team has successfully integrated two businesses creating a national reach to develop more high growth markets.
"Growth in our industry is a function of capital and has to rest on a solid foundation of security, reliability, resilience and compliance in our industry, cautions Downie. "With that in mind, revenue growth has risen as a companywide priority in the past several years. I'd say growth has moved up to nine out of ten as a corporate priority when it used to be a seven during integration. We are on a path to realize the potential of the growth assets we've created so the next level for us is driving the double-digit growth that this platform can sustain. That's up from single digits today."
"When we created this company five years ago, we merged two platforms to create a national footprint that now includes 39 highly interconnected data centers spanning 19 markets and a cloud and managed services business across the nation." says Downie. "We spent a lot of time on back-office integration to get the platform security, reliability, resilience and value right. Now we have a big opportunity to evolve our go to market model to accelerate growth. We're building greater awareness of our new brand which moves us away from our legacy as a regional player to a scalable, national hybrid IT infrastructure provider that give our customers the flexibility to adapt to changing usage, customer growth and business models. We've increased our go-to-market focus on the customer segments where we can deliver the most value to clients."
In addition, Chris points out Flexential is a market leader in a young and growing industry. "We are still in the early innings for the data center industry, and Flexential is on the leading edge of that. We can take advantage of both secular growth in cloud computing and the big shift to remote work, hybrid work and networking from anywhere in the wake of Covid-19," says Downie.
"Growth provides us access to capital," he continues. "Sustainable growth helps you earn the capital and capacity to expand."
As CEO, Downie brings that capital investment mentality to the way the company manages its growth assets and investment. That includes his salespeople.
"We are in a capital-intensive business, so we focus a lot on our return on assets and the return we get on investment capital – which is north of 20% for us. I think of our sales machine as a growth asset, and we invest in developing our sales and channel resources and training them is central to our go-to-market approach and delivering our value proposition to customers. For example, we're investing a lot of time making sure that our revenue team is positioning our product sets appropriately to the right audience and our audience could be at various stages of their journey of really consuming what we do. Some clients could be at the early stages of maturity and just getting out of a telecommunications closet in their office, which has no redundancy or resiliency. Other customers can be very sophisticated about outsourcing their IT infrastructure and will be trying to leverage more virtualized compute resources like cloud and be interested in the flexibility we offer," according to Chris.
To unlock the next level of growth, Downie and his team have made changes to the sales force design and go-to-market formula. "We've been evolving our go to market for the last several years since we put the two companies together," he continues. "As independent regional businesses we sold in a more localized fashion – just selling into their local communities. Since the transaction we've created a national platform that made our data center product in particular relevant to larger, national enterprise and technology consumers."
One way Flexential changed their go-to-market formula was to create sales territories to align selling resources with the fastest growing cities in their national footprint. His sales team assigned the sales reps to those territories and allocated their focus 50% on customer acquisition and 50% on account development. To get the most out of their independent broker, dealer, and partner channels, they assigned dedicated channel managers in each of those market territories.
Adapting the coverage model to sell the full value of the Flexential platform was another challenge. "The new product platform has evolved into two distinct solution sets – cloud managed services and co-located data center services," reports Downie. "Each of these product segments behave very differently in terms of how customers use them and the value they can deliver. We have folks on our sales team that can be good at selling one, but not as good at selling the other. So, we created a specialist overlay function to make sure that reps that were not as comfortable selling cloud and managed solutions have the ability to engage with the customers in their territories effectively to realize the full revenue and margin potential of our product portfolio and better communicate the unique value of concepts like Backup-as-a Service (BaaS) and hyper-scaling cloud management services."
Another big way Downie is accelerating growth is focus sales and marketing resources on the specific segments, vertical markets, and customers where Flexential can deliver the most value. "Segmentation is a big growth drive in the markets we service," according to Chris. "Our Ideal Customer Profile is a business that's need up to 2 Megawatts of capacity and require data centers that are located near large population centers and fast-growing markets. For example, we've got 40 credit union clients using our solution across the country and there are multiples more in our geographies we are targeting specifically."
"Price realization is a big factor in that equation," he continues. "We can sell our capacity to anybody at a low price, but if we really pick the right folks, understand the continuum, and get the right vertical you can get a higher price because the value is there, and you are solving a problem. To do this we're putting together reference architectures and solution architectures that are oriented towards specific customer issues. When we get that combination right – the right mix of products and services to address the problem statement for the financial enterprise, for the healthcare enterprise, and for the manufacturing enterprise, this will either accelerate consumption at the same price or lead to even higher price realization."
Downie also believes that there is value inherent in the platform that his team can unlock. "I think we have a highly differentiated platform that with more awareness will be appreciated for its differentiation. We've invested in operating systems and processes that allow us to do things across 40 facilities in 20 markets to give our clients more scalability and flexibility. And so, we can bolt on any number of data centers and absorb that while maintaining the resiliency of our existing platform. We're investing to bring a whole host of additional utility to our data centers, and this is a big part of our growth formula. For example, we provide virtualized compute resources that bring different forms of compute to bear dynamically to handle bursting workloads. One example is data protection type of services where if a client has an issue or failure with one location and you need to ensure that their other facilities and environments are still up and running," says Downie.
Downie faces the ultimate growth challenge as the business leader accountable to owners and investors – balancing short term revenue performance with actions and investments that will drive long term future cash flows and maximize firm value. "As a business leader, trying to focus on long term growth is a challenge because as you make changes or tweaks in the business they need some time to manifest and private equity owners tend to have little patience" confides Downie. "We have to make decisions that are right for the long-term growth profile of the business – the sort of investments in assets and automation systems that are core to creating value in the platform. That tradeoff is never going to be convenient for us. I'd call it a healthy tension. I want to keep us focused on the long ball, but at the same time we need to set expectations of quarterly performance because if we don't get there, then how are our investors going to believe what we're telling them is important for the long haul?"

Quranic Reflection No. 444. Āyat 5:41 – Active in disbelief
يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ لَا يَحْزُنْكَ الَّذِينَ يُسَارِعُونَ فِي الْكُفْرِ مِنَ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَلَمْ تُؤْمِنْ قُلُوبُهُمْ
Ya ayyuhar-rasūlu lā yahzunkal-ladhīna yusāri'ūna fil-kufri minal-ladhīna qālū āmannā biafwāhihim walam tu'min qulūbihum
O Messenger! Do not grieve for those who are active in disbelief, such as those who say, 'we believe' with their mouths but their hearts do not believe
(Sūrat al-Mā'idah, No 5, Āyat 41)
This verse begins with a direct address to the Prophet: yā ayyuhar-rasūl. This particular address has come only twice in the Quran; in this verse and in verse 67 of al-Mā'idah where Allah 'azza wajall tells the Prophet sallal-lāhu 'alayhi wa-ālhi wasallam to make his announcement of the wilāyah of Imam Ali 'alayhis salām. It emphasizes the importance of the matter notwithstanding the apprehension of the Prophet.
God then reassures the Prophet, telling him not to grieve over those who actively disbelieve. This grief was out of concern for his people. The Prophet led with love and the impurity of the souls of the people who came to him affected him, especially when they persisted in it despite his preaching. Allah subhānahu wata'ālā tells him there is no reason to grieve for such people.
This group who says they believe but there is no faith in their hearts are described as: yusāri'ūna fil-kufr. Literally translated it means they compete or race with one another in disbelief. It denotes the group's immersion in disbelief and their eagerness to outdo one another. They were striving together in hastening towards an ultimate state of disbelief. Note that striving in disbelief is different from striving to disbelief. The former shows that disbelief is already present and is increasing.
Hypocrisy and disbelief are linked in this verse. Although the group said they had faith, their words and actions showed otherwise, and was the root of the disbelief in their hearts. Allah (swt) does not give the name 'hypocrites' to the group. Rather, God describes their qualities. This description is meant for the Prophet to realize why he does need to grieve for them. Similar situation can be found in Sūrat al-Baqarah where Allah describes the qualities and attitudes of such people without naming them 'hypocrites,' (See Q 2: 8 – 20) as their actions are more harmful to Muslims than their names!
The cause of revelation of verse 5:41 tells the story of a group from the people of the Book who come to the Prophet about a ruling from the Torah. They had hoped that the Prophet would give a different judgment and they would be freed from following their own Scripture. But the Prophet referred them to the ruling in the Torah and thus they turned away from him. The hypocrites also wanted the Prophet to rule according to their desires, favoring them, as was done in the days of ignorance. But the Prophet would not do that.
Let this verse remind you that hypocrisy is deadly. It is connected to disbelief and increases it. We should be cautious of people who have the quality and keep conspiring with others to outdo each other in their spiritual diseases.

Exchange With Reporters Prior to Discussions With President Petar Stoyanov of Bulgaria in Sofia
President Clinton. Good morning.
Q. How are you, Mr. President?
President Clinton. I'm fine. I'm delighted to be here, very pleased.
Situation in Chechnya
Q. Mr. President, the events in Chechnya in the last 2 days, has that raised doubts about the Russian commitment to a political dialog?
President Clinton. Well, I think they made clear that they were going to try to continue their military offensive. What we've done at the OSCE is it got them to agree that the internal affairs of Russia or any other country is a proper subject of world discussion and world opinion. We got them to agree to take the OSCE mission there. I think it's very important to do that. And I hope that we've gotten an increased amount of concern for civilian casualties. So we'll have to see, but I think it's very important we follow up on the commitments made earlier at the OSCE meeting in Istanbul.
Q. Mr. President, Bulgarian national television. Are you going to discuss with our President different ways for compensating Bulgaria for our losses during the embargo against Yugoslavia and Iraq, about $10 billion?
President Clinton. Well, first of all, let me say I'm very grateful for the support we received, the Allies received during the conflict in Kosovo, and for the direction taken by Bulgaria under this President and this Government. And we are committed to supporting Bulgaria over the long run, economically, politically, militarily. And I think we will be doing it for many years, and I'm looking forward to that.
Situation in Kosovo
Q. Mr. President, in Kosovo tomorrow, will you urge ethnic Albanians to stop their reprisal attacks against Serbs?
President Clinton. In Kosovo tomorrow I will make a very strong statement about the importance of everybody getting over this ethnic hatred and going beyond it. And we have all made a big commitment to Kosovo as an economic and political reconstruction. But I think it's very important that Kosovo, in effect, not become the mirror image of Serbia. It's hard not to, but it's important not to. And we'll keep working on it.
But I wouldn't overreact to the stories, you know, and the facts—a lot of good things have happened there since the end of the war. And it hasn't been very long, and there is a long, long history in Kosovo and throughout Serbia, throughout the Balkans, that we're trying to get beyond.
Again, I'd say Bulgaria is a very good example of the direction we ought to take, and I hope we can have a positive impact in Kosovo. I think we can.
President Stoyanov. It's important that we, through the American people, through the eyes of the American President, the American people will realize that the Bulgarian people have embarked upon a new road and chosen a new policy, that of democracy, of respect for human rights and that, also, through its wonderful relations with all its neighbors and its excellent ethnic—the absence of ethnic problems whatsoever, Bulgaria will be an example of stability on this continent and will continue to be so.
NATO Bases in Bulgaria
Q. Will you inform us if you discuss the issue of NATO bases in this country?
President Stoyanov. We'll inform you about anything with pleasure, with the greatest of pleasure.
President Clinton. Thank you.
NOTE: The exchange began at 11 a.m. in the Anteroom at the Presidency. A tape was not available for verification of the content of this exchange.

Miscellaneous Remarks
Exchange with Reporters


CAR T Cell therapy has been one of the most promising therapies in other types of cancer (although a large CAR T Cell trial for leukemia was recently placed on hold due to a few treatment related deaths). Here the researchers bring it to GBMs, and shows early signs of it helping. More work needs to be done to optimize the delivery and the targets (Other researchers are using CAR T Cells targeting EGFRvIII see clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02664363) . This study targeted IL13Rα2, which is another good target, but neither target is presnet in 100% of tumors. Perhaps combining them would reach the majority of patients.


Without any exaggeration, it can be noted that the modern human impact on the environment has reached unparalleled, unprecedented level.
Biosphere meekly serves the satisfaction of basic human needs related to economic, military, recreational, and any other human activities. Unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of anthropogenic impacts is purposeful, i. e., is completely conscious.
Among other types of negative environmental impact of humans, pollution is the main and the most large-scale one. The majority of the most acute environmental problems in the world are associated with pollution of air, soil, of surface and groundwater.
By a terrible twist of fate, human is both the only source, and the victim of the environmental pollution: by changing physical and chemical profile of the environment, and its radiation level, humans, using water and consuming, for instance, agricultural products, experience changes they have caused, first of all, to themselves.
In the course of numerous scientific studies and applying their results in practice, we came to an unequivocal conclusion: even today humanity is in dire need of really clean ecological technologies.
It appears extremely important for each of us to recognize that environmental problems are no longer just empty talk used by politicians and the Green Peace representatives on television. Consequences of environmental problems have recently become not something that threatens humanity in several generations or in a couple of decades. Now this is what each of us wakes up and falls asleep to every day.
The GPM-Planet mission is to develop advanced technologies in the field of environmental safety in order to protect humanity and environment from harmful impacts associated with water, food, soil and air pollution.
The group of companies GPM Planet has been operating since 2009 and works in the field of green technology development. During this time, we were able to gather more than 40 people with practical experience under one roof and educate a new generation of specialists working in the field of environmental clean-up. Employees of the company continuously perform large-scale scientific work in the field of research and creation of practical effective green technologies that improve the quality of human life, which has led to a number of patent works that have already been used in practice for more than one year.

Jacksonville, Fla., May 24, 2017 – North Florida Land Trust is working to save 15 acres of land along Egans Creek in Nassau County. NFLT has kicked off a fundraising campaign to preserve the land by securing a matching gift of $250,000 from an anonymous donor. The land is owned by the Nassau County School Board who planned to sell the land to a developer but need the City to vacate an easement before it can be sold. NFLT, in coordination with local citizens, proposed the land be used instead as an outdoor learning laboratory for students at the nearby middle and high school or as a public park with access to Egans Creek.
The 15 acres of land is located directly behind Fernandina Beach High School and borders Egans Creek Greenway. Several members of the Fernandina Beach City Commission had tried to convince the school board to accept NFLT's proposal to preserve the land for an outdoor learning laboratory for students. The school board has been in talks to sell the land to a developer for a new residential subdivision.
Donations can be designated for the Fernandina Outdoor Learning Lab at www.northfloridalandtrust.org or by check with the designation in the memo line and sent to North Florida Land Trust, 2038 Gilmore Street, Jacksonville, FL 32204.
NFLT is encouraging citizens to contact their Nassau County School Board representative to ask them to preserve the land for future generations. Their contact information can be found at http://www.edline.net/pages/Nassau_County_School_District/School_Board/Board_Members.

5 Eric Clapton Songs That Can Make You Cry
via Dana Mihaela/YouTube
Ready Your Tissues
Though he's widely considered as a titan in the music industry, Eric Clapton has had his fair share of highs and lows. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame three times – as a solo artist and as a member of Yardbirds and Cream. He's the only rock act to have that kind of achievement. Throughout the course of his near six-decade career, he has churned out numerous classics – from blues numbers to straightforward rockers.
But more than being a guitar virtuoso, he's also a prolific songwriter. Like most artists, he channeled his grief, despair, and desolation through his songs. And so we came up with this list of Eric Clapton tracks that might make you cry. It's not just about the lyrics or the melody but also the backstory.
5. "My Father's Eyes"
Clapton has never met his father Edward Fryer who died in 1985. He was raised by his grandparents and his father only got in touch with him after he became famous. In his autobiography, Clapton shares that he also drew inspiration from his own son, Conor who passed away in 1991. He said, "In [the song] I tried to describe the parallel between looking in the eyes of my son, and the eyes of the father that I never met, through the chain of our blood."
4. "Hard Times"
It's about someone who's hit rock bottom. He sings about pawning his clothes to pay the rent and his woman who left him when he had no money anymore. And perhaps the most heartbreaking verse is: "There'll be no more sorrow when I pass away / And no more hard time, no more hard / Yea yea, who knows better than I?"
3. "Layla"
Before he ended up marrying Pattie Boyd, he channeled his then-unrequited love by writing this classic. Boyd was the wife of Clapton's friend George Harrison. The title is based on The Story of Layla and Majnun – a tale about forbidden love. It may be a straightforward rock number but the backstory is heartwrenching. Of course in the end, he got what he wanted when Boyd and Harrison broke up but for years, he loved her from afar and yes, you can hear his desperation.
2. "Old Love"
After almost a decade of marriage with Pattie Boyd, they ended up divorcing in 1988. That's where Clapton drew inspiration for this song. You can feel his anger when he sings and Boyd told The Guardian, "The end of a relationship is a sad enough thing, but to then have Eric writing about it as well. It makes me more sad, I think, because I can't answer back."
1. "Tears in Heaven"
Undeniably one of the saddest songs ever written, Clapton wrote it following the death of his four-year old son Conor who fell from a window of a New York City apartment. Clapton said in an interview, "I almost subconsciously used music for myself as a healing agent, and lo and behold, it worked… I have got a great deal of happiness and a great deal of healing from music."

But while I will soon join the majority – though maybe not the necessary super-majority - of our colleagues voting to take up the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, it is a tragedy that we should have to.
Today I would like to briefly review the evidence against Planned Parenthood, evidence brought to light thanks to whistleblowers and journalists working with a pro-life organization called the Center for Medical Progress.
And it is important to highlight – right up front – what the Iran deal is: nothing more than a political agreement between President Obama and the leaders of Iran.
"As long as Planned Parenthood's friends remain mute, I will endeavor to improve upon the silence"
Everyone who has watched the Planned Parenthood videos knows that they have the power to change minds – and only in one direction. So the pro-abortion news media is doing everything they can to suppress the videos' exposure.
I believe all of us can agree that parents should have the final say in their child's education and should have access to information about the testing that is taking place.
Our education system needs to be reformed not in spite of excessive federal control, but because of it. The A-PLUS Act recognizes this fact, and it takes critical steps to rebuild our education policy around it.
Thank you very much. It's an honor to be here. Thank you, Matt, for all that you do through Hillsdale's Kirby Center to advance the cause of liberty in our politics, in our schools, and in our society.
It's always important—in a free society like ours—to have institutions like Hillsdale College and its Kirby Center that teach and defend the principles that have made us who we are as a nation.
Because true conservatism isn't just about the kind of government we don't want; it's about the kind of country we do want.
It's time to stop delaying democracy; it's time to stop hiding from the American people.

The LEVEL 11 blog
Setting Up Your Facebook Business Page
Phones are used at an incredible rate today. You may have been putting off getting a presence set up on social media because you don't have time, or because you don't think it's worth your time. Well, it's no longer just a "good idea" for most businesses to be on Facebook - with well over a billion people actively using Facebook every day, it's become a go-to part of almost any marketing strategy. At least having a Facebook page, even if you are not actively posting content there, will help your business.
To help you get serious about your social media presence, we're sharing a few insights for you to get your house in order. For more hints on creating and maintaining a profitable, worthwhile social media presence, go here, here, here, and here to learn more.
Step 1: Classification
To begin, go to https://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php. This page will showcase six different classifications to choose from (they'll each provide more relevant fields for your desired page):
Artist, Band, or Public Figure
Cause or Community
Once you've selected your desired classification, you'll be asked for an official name for your business page. Be very careful in selecting your name - even though Facebook allows you to change your name and URL once, it's not a walk in the park.
Step 2: Basic Info
Facebook will automatically take you through the following four basic sections to complete the fundamental aspects of your Page.
Finish "About" Section
The "about" section will be the main short description of your company. It will appear on your main page, so make it descriptive but to the point. Make sure you include a link to your company website as well (if you don't have a website, or your current site needs an update, let us know). Also ensure that this section makes you stand out, so you attract new visitors.
This is also where you can select your unique domain (that, as mentioned above, can only be changed once). For example, we at Level 11 Online Marketing chose to use the domain https://www.facebook.com/Level11marketing/ and we love it.
Upload Profile Picture
Your profile picture will serve as the main visual icon of your page, appearing in search results and alongside any comments you publish. While any perfectly square image will work, Facebook recommends that the size be 180 x 180 pixels.
Each and every individual Facebook user has a vertical navigation bar to the left of their News Feed. You can add your page as a "Favorite" item here for easy access.
Reach More People
You'll be prompted to create an advertisement to draw attention to your Page. Whether or not you intend to do any paid marketing at this point, it's best to not run any ads at this stage because there's no compelling content on the page yet that would convince them to ultimately "Like" your page or go to your website.
Step 3: Admin Panel
With your page now live, Facebook will ask if you'd like to "Like" your page. You probably should avoid doing so at the moment because doing so will appear in News Feeds of those you're connected to personally to on Facebook. Without any content on the page, we want to save that action for when you're really ready for people to view the page.
In the top bar, you'll see the "Settings" tab. Click that, and along the left side you'll see a vertical navigation bar with different sections should appear. We'll focus on three important ones for now:
Page Info: Just like in Step 1, you'll be able to add additional details about your business here. You'll be able to fill out more fields here based on the classification you chose.
Page Roles: Whether or not you'll be the main manager of the page, there may be others at your organization who need access to your Facebook page. Here, you can invite other colleagues to make changes to your pages. Some common needs include responding to questions and reviews or uploading/adding content.
Notifications: Here, you can customize when and how you'd like to receive alerts from your business page. Set a frequency that fits your social media marketing plan and schedule.
Step 4: Content
Now you can finally get to adding content. There's much to be said about what to do and say on your page, so get started by going here. Content is king, so don't post for the sake of posting. Have a clear purpose in everything you do. Let us know if you could use a few ideas on where to start.
The rest of your page will fill up over time as you post more updates. Facebook currently allows you six different posting options:
Plain text status
Photo with caption
Link with caption
Video with caption
Location check-in
Keep in mind that statistically, videos have the highest rate of engagement, followed by photos/graphics, and lastly plain text or links.
Cover Photo
This is the large, horizontal image that spans the top of your Facebook page. This is usually a branded image, but can be whatever you think will help to attract people to your page. The official photo dimensions are 851 x 315 pixels.
Now that there's content on the page, we can start strategically inviting users to Like it. It could be helpful to proceed in this order:
Invite colleagues to Like your page and its content to build some initial activity.
Invite supporters into your network. Encourage them to engage.
Invite customers. With some activity now on the page, they'll be more interested and likely to hang around.
With content published and users invited, you'll be able to monitor the activity of your followers through the "Activity" tab.
Step 5: Measure Impact
To measure your efforts to ensure you're making valuable decisions, click the "Insights" option in the top navigation to see the following:
Overview: This tab shows a 7-day snapshot of your metrics such as page Likes, post reach, and overall engagement.
Likes: This tab shows your overall fan growth and losses. If you're paying for additional visibility, it'll show a breakdown of paid and organic growth.
Reach: This tab highlights the number of people your page is reaching every day. If you notice spikes on a specific day, review what you posted that day to see if you can replicate that reach. If you're running ads or boosting posts, it'll distinguish between paid and organic reach.
Visits: This tab indicates where on Facebook your viewers are coming from. You can see the difference in visits on Facebook Timelines, your information tab, reviews, and others.
And just like that, you're done! Now, if you're serious about using your social media presence to generate new business, talk to us today!

Snapchat Zings Facebook With April Fools' Russian Bot Filter

Snapchat is roasting its longtime rival, Facebook, with a filter rolled out just in time for April Fools' Day. The filter mocks Facebook's connection with Russia's use of the social network to spread false information and interfere with U.S. elections.
The filter, which comes on the heels of Snapchat's first TV ad (see video below), which also takes a jab at Instagram, puts photos into a Facebook-style frame. The filter defaults to Cyrillic text and artificially limits who can "like" an image or a post, allowing thumbs-up from made-up friends "Your Mom" and "Bot."
There is a serious conflict between the social networks underlying all of the high jinks. Instagram, which Facebook bought for $1 billion in 2012, has been accused of appropriating some of Snapchat's key features.
Snap Inc. Shows "Impressive Turnaround," But Stock Still Not A Buy - Analyst
Some 160 million Facebook users viewed and shared Russian misinformation in 2016, it was later revealed. The wave of scrutiny over Facebook's culpability in the spread of false stories has since been followed by the semi-related Cambridge Analytica outcry. The data research firm was found to have gained access to the personal data of some 50 million-plus Facebook users. That data was then used by political campaigns, including that of President Donald Trump, to try to sway voters, many of whom were also being influenced by bogus news that was filling their Facebook news feeds.
Snapchat is closing in on 200 million U.S. users — a much smaller footprint than Instagram's, but one that is prized by many marketers because of the youth and avidity of the base.
The April Fools' filter came a day after Snap Inc.'s introduced its debut TV ad, a spot which takes aim at Facebook's Instagram, though not by name. "Snapchat is a camera," the ad's narration begins, and the 60-second ad returns often to that theme.
Here's a look at the Snapchat TV ad:
