FOSTERING STRONG COMMUNITY LOYALTY FOR YOUR BUSINESS https://www.businesspartners.africa/media-centre/media-releases/namibia/fostering-strong-community-loyalty-for-your-business FOSTERING STRONG COMMUNITY LOYALTY FOR YOUR BUSINESS Many businesses make a point of giving back to the community in order to foster goodwill and inspire customer loyalty for their business. But charitable giving is merely the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the ways in which businesses can contribute towards the welfare of their communities and cement their position as good corporate citizens. 2019/09/19 10:00:00 PM
Seven questions business owners should ask themselves before the start of quarter four https://www.businesspartners.africa/media-centre/media-releases/rwanda/seven-questions-business-owners-should-ask-themselves-before-the-start-of-quarter-four Seven questions business owners should ask themselves before the start of quarter four By quarter three, businesses have about eight months of information to dictate where they need to reallocate resources and take corrective measures that will mitigate the impact of inefficiencies or ineffectiveness in the business during the final stretch of the year. This is according to Ms Sally Gitonga, Country Manager at Business Partners International, one of Africa's leading risk financiers that has consistently approved over US$110 million in business loan finance since its establishment and facilitated over 10 500 jobs in select African countries. She says that in order to build strengths and eliminate weaknesses, business owners should ask themselves the following seven questions as the basis of this review. 2019/09/19 10:00:00 PM

In fact, over 80% of companies believe there is a strong connection between creativity and business results, a study by Adobe and Forrester Consulting shows. 2019/09/18 10:00:00 PM

However, it should be noted that it is often a vital resource that allows a business to grow. This is according to Jean-Claude Mutajogire, Country Manager at Business Partners Rwanda (BUSINESS/PARTNERS), who says that although outward signs of a successful business are profitability, asset growth and happy employees, a crucial additional indicator signifying its financial health is the way in which it manages its debt. 2018/05/11 10:00:00 PM

HOW DO Facebook Collection Ads Stack Up to Carousel Ads IN 2022?
Social media is an ever-evolving platform. It is constantly changing, adding new products, even rebranding its name to META. Because of these changes, we often A/B test our strategies to ensure their effectiveness. In this most recent case study, we evaluated the effectiveness of Facebook Carousel ads vs. Collection ads.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FACEBOOK COLLECTION ADS AND CAROUSEL ADS?
A Carousel ad on Facebook is a sequence of images or videos scrolled from left to right. These ads help showcase several products or services to improve clicks and entice engagement. Because carousel ads can be visually appealing, they're a very engaging way to promote New or Used cars. Collection ads are a bit more involved. The collection ad includes a cover image or video followed by three vehicle images in the Facebook News Feed. When someone taps on a collection ad, they see an Instant Experience—this is a full-screen landing page on your mobile device that drives engagement and nurtures interest and intent.
The main difference is Collection ads are meant for mobile devices, meaning you will miss out on desktop users; however, these ads present very well on Facebook, allowing you to showcase your inventory with more messaging.
Furthermore, carousel ads work on both desktop and mobile with the same experience.
Collection ads received a whopping 1,105 views whereas Carousel ads only received 221 landing page views.
Why did we test Facebook Collection Ads vs Carousel Ads?
In the past, we've debunked the myth that Carousel Ads are the best format for dealerships, and our goal now is to put our theory to the test once more. As you will see in the details below, the numbers speak for themselves. One of our main reasons for this belief is the high cost per click on Facebook ads for many reasons. Our goal was to identify why Collection ads cost less. We believe it's due to the Instant Experience and overall better quality score.
Our gut and the extensive usage on mobile still gave us high hopes that Collection ads were still superior for Car dealers.
HOW WE TESTED FACEBOOK COLLECTION ADS AGAINST CAROUSEL ADS
We used one client to test out used car ads during the same one-month period.
We created two separate campaigns with separate but equal budgets and had the same goal of generating traffic to the website.
Our social media strategist used the same creativity and description content for both ads.
To ensure Facebook gave equal exposure, we used the same target audiences for both; these were in-Market Used Car shoppers.
Collection ads garnered 18% more sessions than the carousel, with 23% more new users and 21% more total users. The collection ad had a 16% lower bounce rate, with 5% higher pages per session, and an 8% higher average session duration.
The Results of our Facebook Collection Ad vs. Carousel Ad Test
Overall the Collection ads performed the best in almost all areas. So let's dive into the data. First, we used Facebook Ads Manager to run and track the results of the ads.
With both campaigns using the same budget for the month, the Collection ads received over double the number of clicks of 636 vs. 316 the Carousel ads received.
The same is reflected in the Reach and Impressions. Again, the results were double for Collection.
Next, we can see that the cost per click (CPC) was again half that for Collections at $0.26 Per-click, and Carousel cost $0.49. So we can speculate that there are two possibilities for this outcome, which brings us to the last two pieces of data that we will look at from these campaigns: frequency and landing page views.
The number of landing page views had the most significant performance gap when comparing the two campaigns. Collections ads received a whopping 1,105 views, whereas Carousel only received 221 landing page views.
Then when we pair this with the Frequency, we can see that the Carousel ads had to be shown to the same person an average of 3.24 times before they would engage with the ad; however, the Collection ads only had to be seen 2.19 times before a shopper would engage.
This means the Collection ads are more engaging for shoppers in most circumstances. They prefer the multiple options of the Collection ad and its Instant Experience to the more straightforward Carousel ad with just the swipe right feature. After reviewing Google Analytics, it was determined that the collection ad garnered 18% more sessions than the carousel, with 23% more new users and 21% more total users. The collection ad had a 16% lower bounce rate, with 5% higher pages per session and an 8% higher average session duration than the carousel.
Another observation may be that most users are on a Mobile device, and Facebook prefers the Collection ads for this reason. Either way, the clear choice for Inventory ads will be the Collection ad.
Collection ads seem to be the best choice given the data for Inventory ads at this time. In addition, the multiple options and Instant Experience allow shoppers more insight into your product offering and options to choose for navigating to your site. Our next step will be to test out goals for campaigns, evaluating the effectiveness for Service, Remarketing, and even New performance vs. Used.

Looking for quality leaf filter protection for your gutters in Mchenry, IL area? Call us at 847.791.8833. We specialize in the installation of high quality gutter guards and ice dam protections. Our gutter protection stacks up against any gutter protection on the market.
Gutterglove Icebreaker melts icicles, ice dams, and snow loads while keeping your 60050 IL home gutters clean. See how Icebreaker can eliminate damaging ice dams and icicles from your gutters.
Our Icebreaker Heated Panel systems are designed to eliminate ice and snow in roof eaves and valleys, keeping your home in Mchenry Mchenry safer by reducing the risk of winter damage.
One of the most frustrating parts of preparing for winter and fall is cleaning out your gutters. Then you definitely could end up with a serious issue, and sometimes even damage to your own roof if you don't do that. Clogged up gutters cause difficulties with ice build up when the weather starts to get chilly and can be disgusting and filthy €". If your gutter fills up and rain starts to spill out over the gutter, you could end up with a damp problem that is nasty.
It's possible for you to prevent this problem fairly readily using gutter guards in zip. There are lots of different kinds of gutter guards in the marketplace, but the Gutterglove merchandise is perhaps one of the most widely used since it can be fitted to a lot of different sizes of gutter and the most famous.
They fit over the top of the gutter, and act like a drain cover, filtering debris out so that all that can enter the guttering system is rainwater. These guards are not fairly obtrusive, are scarcely observable in the earth, andwon't impair the appearance of your property in the slightest. They only fit on top of your existing gutter demanding no change.
You may have read about metal gutter guards, waterfall gutter guards, and rainfall gutter guards. The best gutter guards will be made of a lightweight material such as for example anodized aluminium,something strong enough to capture the debris but also light enough that it won't place stress on the gutter system.
Some cheaper guards have a straightforward, thin support frame the downside to this is that there's the threat of the frame collapsing, as well as if it does hold it up might droop into the gutter, and accumulate debris itself. Then it is hardly better in relation to the gutter itself amassing it if debris is collecting. You desire something which will hold its pitch well, that can be shaped to fit any roof, holding its shape and ensuring that debris always loses right, and that will not droop.
Ideally, you will want depth of approximately .03 to .1 of an inch, depending on how much debris you might be expecting to encounter. Thicker frameworks are better in general, but are especially important if you live in an area where you find that your gutters amass lots of debris, needles and leaves through the year. Thicker guards to last for a very long time can be expected by you.
A net, which is exactly what will help to ensure that smaller pieces of debris flow away is supported by the guards. Look for a high quality stainless steel mesh, something that WOn't rust with time, even. Thinner meshes made of more fragile materials are likely to corrode and begin comparing and decaying over time.
The pros at HGTV consider that gutter guards are most definitely worth the cost. With gutter guards, you'll not have to climb up onto your roof to clean your gutters regularly through the year, this reduces the risk of you suffering harm, and saves you time. Additionally, it means that you don't need to be concerned about the monetary cost of fixing your roof if things FAIL. But you should know that gutter guards aren't entirely care free, you will need to clean them sometimes. The good thing is that when you select the best kind, depth and pitch you will discover which you can go a long time between cleanings, so the maintenance burden will be minimal.
If you are going to purchase them, make sure you get them fitted. This will ensure that you simply don't end up with debris and seeds caught in your gutter, requiring more cleaning. Your guards will be installed by a professional fitting service that is good at exactly the same pitch as your roof, ensuring maximum run off, keeping your gutters free and clear.
If you opt for an ice–preventing gutter guard, choose one with just one cabledirty that is all you have to melt ice, and it is going to minimize the number of power consumed throughout the year. Gutter guards can not seem cheap, but the total cost of ownership is minimal in comparison to the attempt that they'll save you long term.
In addition to discontinuing a build up of debris and leaves, a top leaf filter can also prevent ice from forming in your gutter. There are high-end gutter guards which are equipped with a single, low energy usage heat cable that melt ice that is already there, preventing it from damaging and expanding your gutter or will stop ice from forming in the first place.
An anodized aluminium channel framework withstand corrosion and will last for quite a long time.
The LeafBlaster variety in particular is interesting because of the unique design which slips under the roof shingles. The guard is made to match the pitch of the roof, ensuring that leaves flow over its top, not causing and accumulating difficulties with your gutter.

Джон Мартин () е английски художник-живописец, гравьор и илюстратор, представител на Романтизма. Известен с мащабните си живописни платна на библейски теми, с илюстрациите си на "Изгубеният рай" на Джон Милтън, както и с плановете си за благоустрояване на Лондон. Бил е придворен исторически художник на принц Леополд.

Биография

Ранни години
Мартин е роден през юли 1789 г. в колиба в Хейдън Бридж, Нортъмбърланд. Той е четвъртият син на фехтовача Фенуик Мартин. Негови братя са Уилям, най-големият, изобретател; Ричард, войник участвал в Полуостровната война и в битката при Ватерло; и Джонатан, проповедник, измъчван от лудост, който подпалва Йоркската катедрала, за което е съден, но оправдан поради невменяемост. Баща му го записва като чирак при майстор на карети в Нюкасъл ъпон Тайн, където да изучава хералдическата техника, но в резултат на спор за заплащането договорът бил развален и младият Мартин е пратен при Бонифаче Мусо – италиански художник, баща на емайловия художник Чарлс Мус. Заедно с учителя си Мартин се премества от Нюкасъл в Лондон през 1806, където се жени на 19-годишна възраст и се препитава като дава уроци по рисуване и прави акварели (не само на платна, а и на порцелан и стъкло) – единствената му оцеляла творба от тези години е в частна колекция в Англия. Свободното му време е заето с изучаване на перспективата и архитектурата.

Начало като артист
Мартин започва да си осигурява доходи като рисува акварели в сепия. Изпраща първата си маслена картина в Кралската академия през 1810, но тя не е изложена. През 1811 той отново изпраща картината и тя е изложена със заглавието "Пейзажна композиция" в Големия салон. След това Мартин рисува поредица маслени платна: няколко пейзажа, но предимно библейски теми, вдъхновени от Стария завет. Пейзажите му носят усещането за Нортъмбърланд, а някои автори твърдят, че апокалиптичните му творби като "Унищожението на Содом и Гомор" показват, че е запознат с ковачеството и леярството по долината на р. Тайн; със сигурност тези платна показват задълбочени познания за Стария завет.

В годините на Регентството (след 1812) се установява мода за "величествени" картини. Първият пробив на Мартин идва в края на семестър в Кралската академия, когато е изложена първата му голяма величествена канава "Седак в търсене на изворите на забвението". Тя обаче остава игнорирана от публиката. Авторът я отнася у дома, където открива, че на нея е поставена визитка на Уилям Манинг (по това време директор на Банката на Англия), който иска да я закупи. Този патронаж задвижва кариерата на Мартин.

Тази обещаваща кариера е прекъсната от смъртта на родителите, бабата и младия син на Мартин в една година. Освен това брат му Уилям често го моли да рисува планове за новите му изобретения и на когото Джон непрестанно оказва помощ и парична подкрепа. Въпреки това, силно повлиян от творбите на Джон Милтън, той продължава с големите си теми. През 1816 Мартин постига обществено признание с "Исус Навин заповядва на слънцето да не стихне от Гаваон", въпреки че тя нарушава много от установените правила на композицията. През 1818 след продажбата на "Падането на Вавилон" за 420 паунда, той изплаща дълговете си и купува къща в Марилбоун, където се среща с артисти, писатели, учени и виги-благородници.

Известен художник

Триумфът на Мартин идва с "Пирът на Балтазар", с която той се хвали предварително, казвайки, че "ще вдигне повече шум, отколкото всяка картина преди това... само не казвайте на никого, че съм казал това". Пет хиляди души плащат, за да я видят. По-късно тя е почти напълно унищожена, когато каретата, с която се транспортира е ударена от влак на бариерата при Озуъстри; през 1841, с Джон Мартин на стъпенката, Изъмбард Кингдъм Брунел кара влак с 90 мили в час, за да опровергае теорията на Стивънсън, че локомотивите не могат да се движат по-бързо от конете.

В личния си живот Мартин е страстен почитател на шаха. Заедно с братята си, той е запален фехтовач и копиехвъргач. Набожен християнин, Мартин е привърженик и не естествената религия (вярата, че Господ и всичко свръхестествено е част от природата). С изключение на един случай, в който Мартин освирква химна, той е ухажван от кралски особи и е удостояван няколко пъти със златни медали, единият от които от руския цар Николай. Мартин става придворен художник на принц Леополд, който по-късно става първият белгийски крал. Леополд е кръстник на синът на Мартин, Леополд и награждава художника с Ордена на Леополд. Мартин често е посещаван сутрин от друг Сакс-Кобург, принц Алберт. Художникът е защитник на деизъм|дейзма и природната религия, на еволюцията (преди Дарвин) и на рационалността. Жорж Кювие става негов почитател и двамата често се срещат в компанията на други учени, артисти и писатели като Дикенс, Фарадей и Търнър.

Мартин започва да експериментира с техниката мецотинто и в резултат на това получава поръчка за 24 гравюри за новото издание на "Изгубеният рай". Още преди да са завършени, той получава поръчка за втора серия от 24 гравюри, но този път по-малки. Сред тях правят впечатление "Пандемониум" и "Сатаната председателства съветът на пъклените перове", които изненадват с научно-фантастичните елементи в архитектурата. Безспорно най-драматичната му творба е "Мост над хаоса". Поует издава четири отделни варианта на гравюрите като месечни притурки, първата от които излиза през 1825, а последната през 1827. В Периода 1831 – 35 Мартин също решава да издаде свой вариант на илюстрациите си на Стария завет, но това се оказва прекалено скъпо и не достатъчно доходоносно. Поради това той продава останалите си гравюри на Чарлс Тилт, който ги издава във фолио албум през 1838 и в по-малък формат през 1839.

Политическите пристрастия на художника не са ясни; някои твърдят, че е бил радикал, но това не е подкрепено с факти; въпреки това той се е познавал с Уилям Годуин, застаряващ революционен философ, съпруг на Мери Уолстънкрафт и баща на Мери Шели; познавал се е и с Джон Хънт, съосновател на седмичника "Дъ Екзаминър". В един момент Мартин приютява млада жена на име Джейн Уеб, която на 20-годишна възраст написва сатиричния роман "Мумията!" – оптимистична социална визия за света през 22 век, задвижван от пара. Друг негов приятел е Чарлз Уитстоун, професор по физика в Кралския колеж. Сред обкръжението му е и Джон Тениъл, един от илюстраторите на Луис Карол, който е силно повлиян от Мартин и е близък приятел с децата му.

Късни години
В периода 1827 – 28 Мартин се оттегля от рисуването и се заема с много планове и изобретения. Процесът срещу брат му Джонатан за подпалването на катедралата в Йорк излиза много скъпо.

Мартин се захваща с решението на проблемите на Лондон с водоснабдяването и канализацията. С това е свързано създаването на дигите на Темза, които съдържат централна дренажна система. Плановете му са новаторски и оформят основата на по-късните инженерни дизайни. Оцелели са негови планове и за "ламиниране на дърво", фарове, проекти за железопътната мрежа и др. Дългове и семейни проблеми, включително самоубийството на племенника му, водят до депресия, който достига върха си през 1838.

От 1839 Мартин възвръща благосъстоянието си и излага много картини през 40-те години. През последните четири години от живота си Мартин създава мащабния триптих "Последният съд", включващ картините "Последният съд", "Краят на света" и "Полетата на Рая". Поредицата е завършена през 1853, точно преди да получи удар, който парализира дясната му ръка. Така и не се възстановява и умира на 17 февруари 1854 на остров Ман. Погребан е в гробището Кърк Брадан.

Наследство
Голям брой от творбите на Мартин са оцелели и са част от обществени колекции. Мартин написва две автобиографии, но основен извор за живота му е поредица спомени на сина му Леополд, публикувани в 16 части от в. "Нюкасъл Уийкли Кроникъл" през 1889 г. Запазени са подобни спомени и писма и от Бенджамин Хейдън, Джон Констабъл, Ралф Уолдо Емерсън, Данте Габриел Росети, Бенджамин Дизраели, Шарлот Бронте, Джон Ръскин и други.

Големите платна на Мартин са свързани със съвременните диорами и панорами – популярни забавления, при които на големи изрисувани платна се осветяват и "раздвижват" чрез изкуствена светлина. Мартин често е обявяван за предвестник на епичното кино и няма съмнение, че Дейвид Грифит е бил запознат с картините му. В замяна на това, диорамата прави заемки от картините на художника, граничещи с плагиатство. Версия на "Пирът на Балтазар" в размер от 190 m² е изложена в място наречено Британска диорама през 1833; Мартин се опитва да свали платното чрез съд, но не успява. Друга диорама на същата картина е изложена в Ню Йорк през 1835. Тези диорами постигат небивал успех сред публиката, но накърняват репутацията на художника в сериозните художествени среди.

Творчеството на Мартин оказва влияние върху творци като художника Томас Коул, който се смята за един от създателите на американския пейзаж. У други като Ан, Емили и Шарлот Бронте, Р.У. Емерсън той разпалва въображението. Силно влияние оказва върху Прерафаелитите (и особено Данте Росети) и няколко поколения кино-дейци от Дейвид Грифит (който заимства визията на Вавилон от художника) до Сесил Демил и Джордж Лукас. Някои писатели като Хенри Райдър Хагард, Жул Верн и Хърбърт Уелс са вдъхновени от концепцията му за сюблимното. Френският романтизъм в изобразителното изкуство и литературата също черпи много идеи от него. В голяма част от викторианската железопътна мрежа са включени негови мотиви. Голяма част от инженерните планове на Мартин (включително тези за околовръстна железница) не са осъществени приживе, но са построени години по-късно. Това би го удовлетворило неимоверно, тъй като е известно, че е споделил със сина си Леополд, че би предпочел да бъде инженер, а не художник.

"Краят на света" е използвана от Lustmord за култовия му албум "Heresy" и е включена в интериора на стая от компютърната игра Zork Nemesis. Дизайнерът пионер Рей Харихаусен, специалист в областта на stop-motion анимацията признава голямото влияние на картините на Мартин в своите произведения. Художникът Дерек Ригс, известен със създаването на култови обложки за Айрън Мейдън също заявява вдъхновението си от Мартин. "Сбирка на светци" е заглавие на картина на Мартин и е избрано за заглавие на роман на Кристофър Хайд, разказващ за сериен убиец психопат, който е обсебен от Джон Мартин.

Картини
Първата му изложена тематична картина, "Седак в търсене на изворите на забвението" (днес в Музей на изкуството "Сейт Уилямс") е окачена в Кралската академия през 1812 и продадена за 50 гвинеи. Следват я "Изгонването" (1813), "Адам вижда Ева за първи път" (1813), "Клития" (1814), "Исус Навин заповядва на слънцето да не стихне от Гаваон" (1816) и "Падането на Вавилон" (1819). През 1820 се появява неговата "Пирът на Балтазар", която предизвиква много положителни и критични отзиви, както и награда от 200 паунда от Британския институт, който награждава със 100 паунда и "Исус Навин...". Следва серия от библейски и въображаеми сюжети – "Унищожението на Помпей и Херкулан" (1822), "Сътворението" (1824) и "Нощта на Потопа" (1840). Според някои учени, "Полетата на Рая" отразява спомените на художника от младежките му години в Алендейл.

Q: Python - How to use Conch to create a Virtual SSH server I'm looking at creating a server in python that I can run, and will work as an SSH server. This will then let different users login, and act as if they'd logged in normally, but only had access to one command.
I want to do this so that I can have a system where I can add users to without having to create a system wide account, so that they can then, for example, commit to a VCS branch, or similar.
While I can work out how to do this with conch to get it to a "custom" shell... I can't figure out how to make it so that the SSH stream works as if it were a real one (I'm preferably wanting to limit to /bin/bzr so that bzr+ssh will work.
It needs to be in python (which i can get to do the authorisation) but don't know how to do the linking to the app.
This needs to be in python to work within the app its designed for, and to be able to be used for those without access to add new users

A: When you write a Conch server, you can control what happens when the client makes a shell request by implementing ISession.openShell.  The Conch server will request IConchUser from your realm and then adapt the resulting avatar to ISession to call openShell on it if necessary.
ISession.openShell's job is to take the transport object passed to it and associate it with a protocol to interpret the bytes received from it and, if desired, to write bytes to it to be sent to the client.
In an unfortunate twist, the object passed to openShell which represents the transport is actually an IProcessProtocol provider.  This means that you need to call makeConnection on it, passing an IProcessTransport provider.  When data is received from the client, the IProcessProtocol will call writeToChild on the transport you pass to makeConnection.  When you want to send data to the client, you should call childDataReceived on it.
To see the exact behavior, I suggest reading the implementation of the IProcessProtocol that is passed in.  Don't depend on anything that's not part of IProcessProtocol, but seeing the implementation can make it easier to understand what's going on.
You may also want to look at the implementation of the normal shell-creation to get a sense of what you're aiming for.  This will give you a clue about how to associate the stdio of the bzr child process you launch with the SSH channel.

A: While Python really is my favorite language, I think you need not create you own server for this. When you look at the OpenSSH Manualpage for sshd you'll find the "command" options for the authorized keys file that lets you define a specific command to run on login.
Using keys, you can use one system account to allow many user to log in, just put their public keys in the account's authorized keys file.
We are using this to create SSH tunnels for SVN and it works just great.

At the start of 2018, I decided I needed another "small" project to keep up my art practice. I attempted to combine the Awesome Ladies Project Book of Me and "My Day Arted" (which was started by Get Messians). However, instead of using a Moleskine diary for My Day Arted, I created small pieces of art and inserted them into pocket pages – as a scrapbook/project life/art journal hybrid. Sadly, the project only lasted for a few months. Scroll through to view each piece.

Would you donate to a charity called Help the Vets? What about if you get a robocall that asks you to donate your car to "Veterans of America?" Unfortunately, just because the word "veterans" is in the name, it doesn't mean that an organization actually helps veterans.
For example, Help the Vets didn't help disabled and wounded veterans as they said they would. And, the FTC sued Veterans of America alleging that the organization wasn't a charity at all – it was just a front used by an individual who sold donated cars and boats and kept the money. Today, the FTC and its state partners announced that they have taken action against these and other schemes as part of Operation Donate with Honor, a nationwide law enforcement and education initiative to stop veterans-related charity fraud.
Charity regulators from 71 offices, including every state, DC, Guam, American Samoa and Puerto Rico, joined the FTC in this initiative. Collectively, they announced more than 85 law enforcement actions against veterans-related charities and fundraisers. This unprecedented joint effort signals that charity scammers who prey on Americans' patriotism and generosity should beware, law enforcement is watching ― and taking action.
But donors need to beware too. You don't want to donate to a fake charity; you want your donations to go to the many great charities that actually help veterans in need. Watch this video from the FTC and the National Association of State Charity Officers and get tips on how to do some research and avoid giving money to a veteran charity scam.


Drinking from a sippy cup. You still don't need a lot of water, but you take a few sips during each meal. It was amazing to see you pick up the cup and drink from the straw on your own for the first time!
You found your hands. I love catching you holding them up and staring at them.
Putting your pacifier in at night. I was in absolute shock the first time I watched you on the monitor as you searched around for your pacifier, popped it in your mouth, and went back to sleep. It's a pretty awesome trick if you ask me!
Wearing 9 month and 6-12 month clothes. Didn't you just graduate from newborn stuff a few days ago??
Sleeping on your tummy. We had one bad week where you would roll over in your sleep and wake up every time…but eventually you realized that it's okay (and actually pretty comfortable) to sleep on your stomach.
Your jumperoo. You bounce like a wild woman!
Swinging. Papa put a swing in on the back porch and you're loving it!
"Going crazy". You are such a ham–always shaking your head back and forth, trying to get a reaction from us. It always works too!
Sitting still for diaper changes. I've been seeing a lot of those dimply cheeks lately! And one time I had you sitting up to clean your back off (it was one heck of a blowout), and somehow you managed to take a decorative plate off the wall and hold it above your head. Oh my! Are you telling me it's time to baby proof?
Getting in your car seat. Strapping you in is almost impossible now because you like to wrap your legs around my arm. It's like some kind of MMA move!
Green beans. I can't say that I blame you!!!
A visit from Grandma and Grandpa Calcara. We shopped, ate and celebrated their anniversary!
Gigi and Papa came down to help out. We put Papa to work and did girl stuff with Gigi!
Your first trip to the nail salon. You sat on our laps and did such a good job. Once I track down some "piggy paint" you can get a pedicure too!
Not exactly "special," but you had your first case of hives. We never did figure out what caused it–the doctor said it could've just been something in the air. All I know is that I'm glad Gigi was here when it happened…they were scary looking and I definitely would've panicked (more) had I been on my own.
You are changing SO much, SO fast…it's just incredible! You have the funniest little personality and I can't wait to see even more of it as time goes on.
I thank God for you every single day, little girl. You are the most amazing gift!
I LOVE thigh rolls. She is getting so big, as always, she's so beautiful!
She is a DOLL!!! New follower!!


Tom Manning, Business Director and Head of PPC at Forward3D, shares his perspective on Search Marketing and Planning.
There are two reasons why search is right at the heart of the digital marketing mix. The first is quite simply the sheer volume of traffic, conversions and transactions that it drives. For our clients, it's sometimes as much as 50%. No other channel is going to deliver that much by itself.
The second reason is the influence that search has on other channels. It has a direct influence, in that you can get real-time results from tests and can use these to inform other channels.
But it also has an indirect influence on how other channels are optimised. Advertisers are now accustomed to using search for optimisation and receiving real-time performance data to shape their decisions. This makes it harder for other channels to hide behind a lack of data or to guess at an activity's potential outcome. Now that we have the data to prove it in search, we expect other channels to deliver that same level of performance impact.
What makes search really interesting for us is the variety of skills needed to run cutting-edge search marketing campaigns. You need great technical skills of course, but also the analytical skills to interpret data and the creative skills to make sure you're using the most effective copy.
Interpersonal skills are also important to ensuring that you can work with your clients effectively. Our agency doesn't have a client service layer; our teams do it all themselves, so we need really well-rounded people with a good balance of skills. It's the need to maintain and develop all these skills that makes our work so exciting.
We don't do a huge amount of traditional planning. Our preferred way of working is to launch small tests and to base our strategy on the resulting data. However, when we do plan – especially when we're scoping new markets – we'll use Google Trends and the Keyword Planner to build a case for launch in those markets. In terms of optimisation, we've found that a lot of Google's tools have replaced the need for third-party technologies to manage accounts of scale. We can now do it all within the Google interface, which gives us great flexibility.
So what's next for search? I see it evolving in two ways. It's going to become increasingly informed, through the use of more and more audience signals: we've already seen that over the last 12 months, but it's going to continue to grow. The other way in which search will progress is in how it will join up multiple devices, as well as online and offline customer journeys. Other channels will need to do that too, but I think it's going to predominantly come from search – because it's the fastest-moving area and the one that already interprets the most data.


I just got MyGlam bag in the mail today. I think I skipped a month and didn't post MyGlam bag in July. The theme is pretty similar, summer-y products. I love how the card in this month's bag features Michelle Phan's drawing. She is truly an artist! For those who don't know who Michelle Phan is, she is the most subscribed beauty guru on Youtube. She also founded Fawn, Inc. and MyGlam.com. She also one of Lancome spokesperson/makeup artist. In such a young age, she is really successful doing what she loves.
Dream, Believe & Make it happen!
This nail polish will launch in the Fall. It's not for sale yet, but I already got 2 different shades from the MyGlam subscription. This is nail polish by one of the youtube beauty guru who also works together with Michelle Phan. You can check her out at Andrea's Choice.
I've never heard of this brand before. They use plant stem cells extract from a rare Swiss apple that is believed to have tremendous ability to stimulate skin stem cell, encouraging aging skin to behave like younger skin.
Again, I've never heard of these two brands before. But I guess that's the idea of this monthly subscription which allows us to try new things including brands that we didn't even know existed. The perfume smells nice. As for the mineral eyeshadow, I must say the packaging makes the product look cheap. It's a loose mineral which is blended by hand, said the website. The color I got is a shimmery white shade, which might be good for highlight or a little pop of glam.
This one is an added bonus.
I got a card which says that the MyGlam team gives this glam gloss as a thank you. It's pretty cool.
♥ I finally purchased my very first SLR camera and just bought a new lens for my new, uhm, toy. It will be my new project to learn and love.

Vanished steamer referenced in Close Encounters of the Third Kind found off Florida coast
By Jeff Spry
Close Encounters of the Third Kind (Credit: Columbia Pictures)
A Bermuda Triangle mystery nearly 100 years old has finally been solved with the discovery of rusted wreckage for the legendary lost steamship named Cotopaxi, which vanished in a storm off the coast of Florida in 1925 with all 32 souls lost.
For geeks of a certain age or cinephiles with sharp eyes, the S.S. Cotopaxi is referenced in Steven Spielberg's 1977 sci-fi classic, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, as the colossal derelict vessel which magically reappears listing on its side in the middle of the Gobi Desert. The movie's research team investigates this miraculous and surreal event as part of the world's increased UFO phenomena and contact with extraterrestrial beings, realizing it had been missing for decades without a trace.
Named for one of South America's most active volcanoes located in the heart of the Andes Mountains, the doomed steam-powered cargo vessel shipped out of Charleston, South Carolina en route to Havana, Cuba, on Nov. 29, 1925.
Now a scientific crew headed up by underwater explorer Michael C. Barnette has found what they're convinced is the debris of the Cotopaxi, lying in a watery grave just 35 miles of the shores of St. Augustine, Florida in an area known as the Bear Wreck. The team documented their discovery on Science Channel's Shipwrek Secrets, as previewed below.
94 years ago, the Cotopaxi vanished in the Bermuda Triangle... We just found it. ⚓
Watch Michael Barnette and his team solve this mystery in the Series Premiere of #ShipwreckSecrets TONIGHT at 8p ET on Science Channel. pic.twitter.com/t6k57BJPbQ
— Science Channel (@ScienceChannel) February 9, 2020
Barnette, a biologist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, first spotted the debris 15 years ago during an investigatory dive, but couldn't find the definitive proof of its identity. A dozen dives later, he compiled detailed measurements of the wreck and compared them to actual blueprints of the Cotopaxi, but was still unsure.
"As a diver, we want to identify these shipwrecks," he told NPR News. "So you get excited when you actually do that, but then you sometimes go through [an] emotional roller coaster whereupon that realization of what this vessel is, you also learn what it signifies: in this case, the grave of 32 men."
Accompanied by members of the St. Augustine Lighthouse and Maritime Museum, a nonprofit agency dedicated to researching and preserving the region's rich maritime history, Barnette and the group's chief archaeologists recently returned to the wreckage to hunt for more clues. They eventually confirmed that the wreck was in the correct position from where original S.O.S. signals were sent out on Dec. 1, just days after shipping out, and picked up by a radio station in Jacksonville.
"It really does help bring closure," he added. "Now we know exactly where the ship went down, where his remains lie, the cause of the sinking. It was not due to sea monsters or whirlpools or aliens or any such thing in the Bermuda Triangle."
For more details on this amazing discovery with a nerdy link back to one of our favorite sci-fi films, check out the episode on the S.S. Cotopaxi airing in a new Science Channel series "Shipwreck Secrets," that premiered Feb. 9.

Liquid Web's product, e-commerce and technology leader, supporting and growing its customers' businesses with the best support.
Small businesses have long been the lifeblood of the U.S. economy, creating more than half of the nation's jobs, spawning new ideas, generating 54% of U.S. sales and fortifying communities across the country. This momentum shows no signs of slowing down, with some predicting 40% of Americans will be self-employed by the year 2020.
Websites, stores and applications will be the cornerstones of these new businesses and entrepreneurial ventures. Small businesses have shifted from dabbling on the web with cookie-cutter sites to being completely dependent on the web. At Liquid Web, we refer to these businesses as being web dependent to demonstrate the incredible importance of the web for these online SMBs that derive up to 100% of their revenue from their online presence.
It's easier than ever for an entrepreneur to launch a web-dependent business. The first step is to choose and purchase a domain name aligned to the brand. Then, secure a merchant account and payment gateway to start collecting payments. E-commerce sites will also need an SSL (secure sockets layer) certificate to encrypt sensitive data like customer identification and credit card information.
Many of the industries these businesses belong to are facing disruption. What was once housed neatly in a brick-and-mortar location, open 10-6 and competing only with neighborhood offerings is now online 24/7 and facing steep competition from online juggernauts such as Amazon.
Uber, Netflix and a dizzying array of other brands have proved that disruption is no longer part of a passing trend but part of the new normal. This means more and more businesses are falling into the category of being web dependent, which is good news for a growing small business segment that has historically been overlooked for being too small. Many of these businesses may have five or fewer employees, but with a robust online presence, they're able to perform the work of much larger organizations.
When the overall success of your business is dependent on a strong web presence, it brings about an entirely new set of considerations -- a hosting partner perhaps being the most important. A recent survey we conducted revealed that 86% of respondents believe that selecting the right hosting provider will affect a company's competitiveness.
One of our customers, a software-based marketing company, experienced this firsthand. When launching promotions for new products, it was critical to have a reliable server. Continued issues with server capacity mean downtime for customers. These problems could result in lost sales, and when the hosting company was unresponsive and unable to bring the server back up, it directly impacted the amount of money the company was able to make.
When your business is web dependent, security is also of heightened concern. Another one of our customers was at one point faced with client websites under frequent attack by hackers using malware and carrying out DDoS attacks. The consequences for this type of attack can be grave, particularly for banking and insurance companies. If left unchecked, a business can find all of its email servers blacklisted so that its email is not accepted by other web servers.
The dramatic rise in website creation and SMBs has fueled a symbiotic growth in technology to make life easier for these businesses to create and scale their online presence. Previously, these solutions were largely only available for mid-market and large enterprises. Still, tech dependent doesn't necessarily mean tech savvy, especially if you don't have a full-time IT team on staff. This leads some SMBs to go the route of least resistance when it comes to hosting.
Seek a provider with a broad array of products to meet your business needs. Your business is unique, and a one-size-fits-all solution may not be right for you. Don't choose a provider that will match you with the products it provides instead of the ones you need.
Access to human beings is important. Ensure you choose a provider that is accessible from the initial selection process to going live, whether that's migration or setup, to ongoing support. If you encounter a problem with your website, your business can't afford to be sent to a chatbot or wait days for a call to be returned.
Select a provider that makes meaningful promises. Don't be lured by hosting partners that promise the world but fall short when it comes time to deliver. Take the time to ask about guarantees and do your research on their customer satisfaction results. A good partner will have both.
Not so long ago, business legitimacy was defined by simply having a viable website. Legitimacy is now called into question by slow load times or server downtime. So choosing your hosting provider should be a strategic move -- not an afterthought. When your business is web dependent, choosing the right hosting partner and the right hosting solution might just be the most important business decision you make.

The only thing more stunning than WhatsApp's $19 billion price tag is the incredible journey of the messaging app's CEO Jan Koum.
Koum was raised in Ukraine, immigrating in the early 1990s to the United States when he was a teenager. Living on welfare and food stamps, telephone calls back home to Ukraine proved to be a daunting expense.
Eventually, Skype -- now owned by Microsoft (MSFT) -- changed all that, dramatically reducing the price of international calls. Kuom set out to do the same for text messaging on mobile phones.
By his own account, Koum "barely graduated" high school in Mission Viejo, California. He went on to study at San Jose State University, but dropped out. Koum worked at Ernst & Young as a security tester and later became a security and operations engineer at Yahoo (YHOO).
Related: Why WhatsApp is worth $19 billion
In 2009, he founded WhatsApp, a service that has amassed 450 million users in four-plus years and is growing its user base by 1 million people a day.
Despite creating such a wild success, Kuom has shied away from the spotlight. He passes up television appearances and rarely gives interviews. His prestigious CEO title isn't even listed on his social media accounts. On his LinkedIn (LNKD) profile he lists himself as WhatsApps's "QA Tester." He previously said he was the company's "Sr. Tweet Manager."
Koum owns 45% of WhatsApp, according to Forbes. That means when the deal closes with Facebook (FB), his net worth could be close to $7 billion.
Yet Koum remains grounded and is proud of his Ukrainian roots. He recently tweeted: "Praying for peace and quick resolution to the crisis #ukraine #freedom."

It may or may not be surprising to find out that both terms Kinderwhore and Riot Grrrl originated in conversations about my life between Kurt Cobain and myself.
Kurt came up with the band name Amy Carter and the idea for a zine "I [Heart] Amy Carter". The band members consisted of Tammy Rae, Kathleen Hanna, and Heidi Aborgast.
We were discussing former President Jimmy Carter who's home state is Georgia, same as my adopted mother's. I told him Amy Lynn Carter and I shared not only a first name and middle initial, but we also both have red hair. (origin for stagename Amy Lynn)
In 1991 Nirvana released the song On A Plain written in reference to President Jimmy Carter's home town of Plains, Georgia.

"My loneliness is killing me
I must confess, I still believe
When I'm not with you I lose my mind
Give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time" – …Baby One More Time performed by Britney Spears
At fifteen, I used the techniques Joe Elliott of Def Leppard taught me of taking songs I knew to draw upon for writing songs. For "…Baby One More Time" performed by Britney Spears I was inspired by Pat Benatar's 1980 hit song "Hit Me With Your Best Shot". Lyrically the song was inspired by Billy Squier's "Lonely is the Night", Shawn Cassidy's '78 cover of "Do You Believe in Magic", and Roberta Flack's 1979 cover of "Killing Me Softly". There are references to Prince, the song "The Beautiful Ones, and the funk ensemble The Time.
The pseudonym Max Martin was devised with Max being one of the nicknames I gave Michael Hutchence of INXS for the Australian movie Mad Max. Later Hutch would name his side project Max Q.
The album "…Baby One More Time" would be released 16 years after written on my birthday, January 12, 1999.
"Cobain can you hear the Spears singin' songs off station to station" – Californication performed by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Taking a que from lyrics in "…Baby One More Time" Prince released the 1987 album "Sign "☮" the Times" and then changed his name to the "Love Symbol" knowing Amy means beLOVEd .
I chose the 2009 album title "Circus" which includes the single "If You Seek Amy" for Def Leppard's 1987 song "Animal" with the music video taking place at a circus as well as it being in the lyrics.

Was you ever bit by a dead bee? – Eddie, 1944 movie To Have and Have Not
You might be under the impression that the "Bee Girl" era actually happened with Blind Melon's song No Rain released in 1992. It actually goes back further than to 1983 with Joe Elliott decided to use Lauren Bacall's dress in To Have and Have Not as inspiration for Julia Robert's hooker dress in the movie Pretty Woman (see previous post "Oh! Pretty Woman).
One day Kurt kept pressuring me to come up with a new song. Joe Elliott was standing near by. I really wasn't in the mood to deal with them that day and I sat down on the stage. I said, "I've got no new tale to tell."
After a minute, I stood up and started making up a song which became No New Tale To Tell performed by some of the former members of the band Bauhaus who formed the band Love and Rockets. The song was released on the 1987 album Earth, Sun, Moon album.
If you do not know who Bauhaus is, they were featured in David Bowie's and Susan Sarandon's '83 cult classic The Hunger with their song from 1979 "Bela Lugosi's Dead".
The music video for No New Tale to Tale was the start of the Bee Girl era along with the image of a monkey, a symbol for Michael Jackson's chimp Bubbles. This included Kurt Cobain's collection of toy monkeys and the use of a toy monkey in the Alice In Chains music video Grind.
The idea to start naming bands for "fruit" came from the use of "peach" in Pour Some Sugar On Me performed by Def Leppard and U Got The Look performed by Prince and Shiela E. It also came from me joking around with INXS sayingthey were the vegetables and I being the fruit.
This is how I came up with the name when Billy Corgan asked me what he should name his band and I said "Smashing Pumpkins" and also named the band "Blind Melon", with Melons and Pumpkins being a fruit.
The band Krokus which had been on tour with Def Leppard on the Rock Till You Drop Tour in 1983, released To Rock or Not to Be (a reference to the movie To Have and Have Not starring Bogey and Bacall) in 1995 also used the image on the cover art.
One day while Kurt (Cobain) and I were working on songs, he pulled a sheet of notebook paper out of his back pocket which happened to be the lyrics for what would become "Bee Girl" performed by Pearl Jam.
"Bee girl, you're gonna die.
You don't wanna be famous, you wanna be shy.
Do your dances alone in your room.
Becoming a star will become your doom.
Bee Girl, be a girl
You know time is long, and life is short.
Begin to live while you still can.
Believe in nothing, believe me,
Those who can be trusted can change their mind.
When the anxious is the present, unwrap your gifts, take your time.
Everything you imagine needn't be stuck in your mind.
Bee Girl, be a girl… " – Bee Girl performed by Pearl Jam
"She should have stayed away from friends
She should have had more time to spend
She should have died when she was born
She should have worn the crown of thorns
She should have been a son" – Been A Son, Nirvana

"There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch, and it's bringing me out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare
See how I'll leave with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do
Reaching a fever pitch
And it's bringing me out the dark
The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep" – Rolling in the Deep performed by Adele
This song was for Michael Hutchence after he broke my heart. I again make reference to Billy Squier's "In The Dark", to Def Leppard's '83 Pyromania album, to the '97 movie Titanic which I often made references to, and to "The Open Door" which would go on to be the title of Evanescence's 2006 album. I also make reference to the 1960 French film Breathless by Jean-Luc "Godard", this was my way of drawing a connection to knowing Stuart Goddard better known as Adam Ant. One other reference is to Michael Jackson's hair catching fire during the taping of the Pepsi Commercial.
"Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there"
This line is me making a reference to Australia being called "Down Under". The name Adele is the name of an island in Western Australia. Adele Laurie Blue Adkins, Blue is Aussie slang for redhead (me).

I wanna be a Rockstar! Nickelback Origin
In 1983 Joe Elliott released to the press he received a scar over one of his eyes due to a fan throwing a coin from the crowd in Spain during a concert. It was his right eye and it wasn't a coin.
Knowing Joe released this to the press I started yelling at him, "I want my nickel back!" after making up a new song. He would walk off smiling saying, "I know you do."
I overheard someone ask why I said it was a nickel. I bought a souvenir at Rock City (see previous post "Legend Movie Origin"). The souvenir was only a nickel and in exchange received a wooden nickel back.
It was then later decided to choose band members who were Canadian citizens due to the Canadian football position called a Nickelback.
"'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blond hair" – Rockstar performed by Nickelback
The song "Rockstar" was inspired by an article which Kurt Cobain showed me about Tom (Cruise) going to the Playboy Mansion to watch the Hagler-Hearns fight. I was making fun of him and others when I made up the song.

Ode to the Red Hot Chili Peppers
" Space may be the final frontier
But it's made in a Hollywood basement
Cobain can you hear the Spears
Singing songs off station to station
And Alderaan's not far away
It's Californication" – Californication by The Red Hot Chili Peppers
Like most Southerners, you could always find a bottle of chili peppers marinating in vinegar in our refrigerator ready at hand to sprinkle on what our hearts desired. It was usually set out on the table after Mom cooked up a batch of turnip greens and even the occassional barbeque sandwiches.
Kurt Cobain had a habit of raiding the refrigerator whenever he would show up and had noticed the bottle. We all watched in amusement as he removed the cap and touched his tongue to it. His face turned immediately red.
Of course, Kurt also had to go through my record collection and there he found a rare rerelease of The Beatles St. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album which a friend gave me Christmas 1978. The musical film St. Peppers Lonely Heart's Club Band was released in July of 1978 starring Peter Frampton, Aerosmith, Bee Gees, and many more.
Kurt and Joe knew of a band in California in need of a new name and the name "The Red Hot Chili Peppers" was suggested (1983).
Michael Hutchence suggested Kurt take me to see The Rocky Horror Picture Show one night at a local theater. Hutch wanted me to see the movie because of one of the actresses was Aussie Nell Campbell. The next thing I know, I am being dressed in a Dr. Frankenfurter costume and then pushed out onto the stage. Just for fun I asked Tommy Lee for one of his socks. I stuffed part of the sock into the front of the costume leaving part hanging out. Everyone thought it was funny and Anthony Kiedis and Flea jumped up from the crowd and said they wanted to do that. Not know what they had in mind, the world actually found out.
I also remember hearing Kurt say there is an Adam & The Ants song called Dirk Wears White Sox released in 1979.
If you will look at the cover art for RHCP "One Hot Minute" it looks like a redhead not a brunette sitting at a piano, doesn't it?
(Amy Lee Piano Recital, Dallas, TX, December 1978)

Velvet Revolver Origin
The name for the band Velvet Revolver came from the band The Velvet Underground managed by the artist Andy Warhol and The Beatles '66 album Revolver. Even though the song Falling to Pieces was not released until 2004, I came up with the song between '83 and '84. It had been a long day and I remember them pushing me really hard. My clothes were soaked with sweat, but I was trying to be a trouper. The whole time I felt like I was about to pass out.
"I keep a journal of memories
I'm feeling lonely, I can't breathe
I fall to pieces, I'm falling
Fell to pieces and I'm still falling" – Falling to Pieces performed by Velvet Revolver
The lyrics to the song inspired not only Kurt Cobain to write and publish his journals, but also Michael Hutchence of INXS to keep a journal.
The naming of the band is what influenced them to do the 1996 movie on the life of artist Jean-Michel Basquiat with Courtney Love having a small role.

Candyman song Origin
"Tarzan and Jane were swingin' on a vine
Candyman, Candyman
Sippin' from a bottle of vodka double wine
Sweet sugar candy man" – Candyman performed by Christina Aguilera
In 1971 Sammy Davis, Jr. covered the Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory song "The Candy Man". He performed this song many times on television shows while I was a little girl and happened to be a favorite of mine.
Michael Jackson did a little research and found out one of the producers of the "Sammy Davis, Jr.'s Now" album happened to be Don Costa who was best known for his work with Frank Sinatra. Costa had a daughter by the name of Nikka Costa who would go on to perform the song I wrote titled "Everybody's Got Their Something."
This inspired me to write the song "Candyman" performed by Christina Aguilera. It would also draw a connection to Pour Some Sugar On Me which I co-wrote with Joe Elliott and other songs I made up as well.
"Sippin' from a bottle of vodka double wine", was inspired by a photo of Joe Elliott of Def Leppard (see left) and the 1981 Def Leppard song Me & My Wine.
"He had tattoos up and down his arm", I was referring to Tommy Lee of Motley Crue. This actually dates the song due to the few tattoos Tommy had when we met in 1983.
I had been a longtime fan of the actor Johnny Depp dating back to his first appearance in 1984 A Nightmare on Elm Street and knowing the origin of the song starred in the 2005 remake of Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory.

3 Seniors Who Can Alter NCAA Tournament Odds
These standout players will be veteran leaders for their programs
By Matt Reed - Aug 23, 2019, 6:50pm
● Cassius Winston will lead the Michigan State Spartans, who have +800 NCAA championship odds, per DraftKings.
● Marquette (+5000) and Florida (+2000) should benefit from the leadership of Markus Howard and Kerry Blackshear, Jr., respectively.
The one-and-done era has been in full effect for many years now in college basketball, making it a rarity to see stars stick around for all four years of school.
However, many of the country's best teams often rely on these veteran talents to guide them to the Final Four, and potentially a national championship.
This season, Michigan State's Cassius Winston, Marquette guard Markus Howard and Florida transfer Kerry Blackshear Jr. each provide their respective teams with this veteran leadership.
Here's a deeper look at how these three senior players will impact their team's NCAA Basketball title odds in 2019-20.
Cassius Winston (G, Michigan State)
Winston is probably the no-brainer choice of the bunch simply because he enters his final season in a major role at Michigan State, arguably the best team in college basketball.
Entering the 2019-20 season, Winston and the Spartans are tied with Kentucky for the best odds to win the NCAA Championship with +800 odds, according to DraftKings Sportsbook.
In his first three seasons at Michigan State, Winston improved every year, including during his junior campaign in which the Detroit native averaged 18.8 points and 7.5 assists per game.
Winston is the leader of the Spartans team, and will put them over the top if they do go on a long run in the NCAA Tournament. However, he also has a strong supporting cast around him.
Josh Langford and Xavier Tillman return to Lansing again in 2019-20, after each averaged 10 points or more per game last season. Winston and Langford form one of the nation's top backcourts, and they'll make life very difficult for opposing teams in the Big Ten.
Markus Howard (G, Marquette)
Howard and the Golden Eagles won't receive a ton of national attention ahead of the NCAA Tournament, but keep a close eye on Marquette this season.
Marquette boasts +5000 odds to win the National Championship. However, the Golden Eagles could be in store for a massive season as Howard leads the way for the Big East team.
Despite having to contend with Seton Hall and Villanova, Howard and Co. can make some noise in the conference with a number of talented players surrounding last year's Big East Player of the Year.
While waiting for college hoops to return, check out our NFL Odds Dashboard for all of the betting tools you need to dominate the slate!
Howard averaged over 25 points per game a season ago, and finished Second-Team All-American during his junior campaign. The 20 year old is the type of player that can take over any game, despite his 5-foot-11-inch frame, and will need to be someone closely watched once again in 2019-20 as the Golden Eagles aim to make a run throughout March.
Kerry Blackshear Jr. (F, Florida)
Florida hasn't been in the National Championship mix in quite a while, but with +2000 odds this season and the addition of Blackshear Jr., the Gators could make some waves in the SEC and beyond.
Blackshear Jr. scored 14.9 points per game last season at Virginia Tech, while also grabbing 7.5 rebounds per game. He adds a big body down low for the Gators, standing at 6'10.
The transfer immediately becomes one of the senior figures on a Florida squad that boasts a ton of youth. Blackshear Jr. is the only senior or graduate student on the Gators roster, and his experience could certainly provide Florida with a much-needed injection after losing to Michigan in last season's NCAA Tournament.
Blackshear Jr. and last season's Hokies team reached the Sweet 16, before narrowly falling to Zion Williamson and Duke in a heartbreaking, buzzer-beating fashion. The 22 year old will be eager to avenge the 2018-19 defeat, and help guide Florida on a run to the Final Four, something the program hasn't accomplished since 2014.

Drilling hazards—such as wellbore instability, lost-circulation zones, over-pressurized formations, and shallow flows—can threaten the economics and operational viability of the well. Managed pressure drilling (MPD) is a highly successful means of mitigation for many like problems.

Leverage Weatherford's extensive portfolio of MPD equipment and associated ability to maximize control of your wellbore's pressure profile, mitigate multiple drilling hazards, ultimately make otherwise undrillable prospects drillable.
Managed Pressure Drilling is More Productive Drilling.
Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) systems connect to and enhance a rig's conventional drilling components.
Two basic elements that MPD enhances are the drilling fluid and the circulation system which every drilling method uses to control bottomhole pressure (BHP).
As a field ages with production, pore pressure, well-bore stability, and fracture gradient can change to the point where more dynamic control is required.
These tasks do not change as a field ages, they just get harder to do.
The collection of pressure control methods referred to as MPD complements the basic elements of drilling by adding more control to the BHP. MPD extends control over the BHP to operational phases when the rig pumps are off, improving wellbore stability, well control, and safety, and bringing into reach productive prospects too expensive to drill otherwise.
In an open circulation system drilling is limited to managing the pressure with the static MW and when the pumps are on with the annular frictional pressure (AFP). The AFP is a function of a number of variables including the mud weight, mud rheology, flow rate, and the well and drill string geometries. When the mud pumps are off the only means to control the BHP is through the mud weight which limits the ability of drilling to manage narrow margins as illustrated in the above plot.
The MPD method known as constant bottomhole pressure (CBHP) refers to a process whereby the annular pressure in a well is held constant or near constant at a specific depth, with the rig mud pumps on or off.
It is important to understant that constant is relative. In the context of CBHP it means maintaining BHP within a window bounded by an upper and lower pressure limit.
The difference between these limits is also known as a margin.


Meditech and Nuance announced that they are partnering to combine voice tech and electronic health records.
Specifically, the companies will integrate Meditech's Expanse EHR with Dragon's Medical Virtual Assistant to enable clinicians to perform clinical and administrative tasks with voice activation.
Physicians have been more and more frustrated with the time it takes to wade through their EHRs to meet regulatory and reimbursement requirements, losing valuable time with their patients. Now two companies have come up with something that should ease a little of the strain.
Meditech said the virtual assistant can "understand, analyze, and respond to human language," and offers voice-driven workflows.
Toward the end of last year, 2018 was declared the year of the voice tech pilot, foretelling much more innovative work in the realm is on tap for 2019.
Solutions that bring AI into the mix to ease strain on physicians will be welcome.
Comments closed Jan. 28 on the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT's draft recommendation to make electronic health records more user friendly, we reported on Wednesday.
And even dating back to early 2017, intrepid providers were running proofs-of-concept and pilot programs that offered a glimpse of how they are reshaping the patient experience.
"Clinicians want technology that is easy to use and that gives them more time back in their day to spend with the patients they care for," said Nuance Senior Vice President Peter Durlach.
The two companies will demonstrate the new technology at Meditech booth #3921 and Nuance booth #3345 at HIMSS 2019, Orlando, Florida, Feb. 11-15.
