Lichess4545 Privacy Policy
Who we are and how to contact us
The Lichess4545 leagues are officially organised and run by the online chess site Lichess.org ("Lichess").
The privacy policy of the Lichess4545 league is an additional and optional extension to the original Lichess privacy policy, relevant only to those who optionally choose to play in the leagues.
Consequently, the head office and data controller information in the Lichess privacy policy also applies to the Lichess4545 league. The Lichess privacy policy can be found here: https://lichess.org/privacy.
As Lichess officially organises and runs the leagues, Lichess is the point of contact for any questions or concerns relating to the collection and use of Lichess4545 data. They can be contacted at gdpr@lichess.org.
How we obtain personal information
We require some personal data from a registrant when they complete and submit a registration form to show their interest in competing in one of the Lichess4545 leagues. Namely, the interested registrant must agree to provide us with their valid Lichess username and their own genuine email address, or they cannot register their interest.
We additionally use the personal information held by Lichess about a registrant's accounts, which is subject to Lichess's own terms of service and privacy policy. The personal data on Lichess associated with a specific account can be accessed via the link https://lichess.org/account/personal-data (login required).
What we use personal information for
We use a registrant's personal information to:
Assess whether the registrant is eligible to play in the leagues according to our eligibility rules. These rules are set out in full in the Lichess4545 Terms of Service.
Support the smooth running of league operations in various ways. For example:
We share the email addresses of approved registrants with Slack, to automatically email the approved registrant with an invitation to join the Lichess4545 Slack workspace after their registration has been approved by a league moderator.
Our league software uses players' Lichess usernames to link information between Lichess, the league Slack workspace, and the league website.
The league website (found here: https://www.lichess4545.com) uses information on players' Lichess usernames in conjunction with non-personal game metadata recorded by Lichess to publicly document league results and standings. In addition, each player has their own dedicated page for each league they participate in, listing their games and results by season as well as summary performance statistics.
Players' Lichess usernames and non-personal game metadata are also processed when players sign up to any of the additional leagues and tournaments advertised within the league Slack workspace (summarised here). Most of these leagues are organised using online spreadsheets to document league/tournament pairings, results and standings.
Other than sharing registrants' voluntarily provided email addresses with Slack for the purposes of inviting them to join our Slack workspace, this data will not be shared with any other individuals or organisations. The only individuals who will have access to a registrant's Slack email address are Lichess4545 administrators who will only use it for the purposes of processing registrations and assessing a registrants' eligibility (as described above).
Our justification for using personal information
The following section outlines the lawful bases we rely on under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):
Sharing a registrant's submitted email address with Slack Technologies, Inc.
We rely on execution of a contract (namely, the Lichess4545 Terms of Service) in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR to share a registrant's email address with Slack Technologies, Inc. This allows us to invite interested players to join our workspace on Slack, an external asynchronous messaging platform which we use for coordinating and ensuring the smooth running of league operations. This is a necessary element of the services offered by the leagues, and is therefore justified by the additional terms in the Lichess4545 Terms of Service, which all league registrants must also agree to.
Documenting player performance statistics
We rely on execution of a contract (namely the Lichess4545 Terms of Service) in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR to document and publish players' league histories and performance ratings on the Lichess4545 website. This is a necessary element of the services offered by the leagues, and is therefore justified by the additional terms in the Lichess4545 Terms of Service, which all league registrants must also agree to.
Eligibility checking
We rely on our legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR to process registrants' data to check whether they are eligible to play in the leagues. A registrant will not be allowed to play in the leagues if either:
the registrant has been banned for violating Lichess's terms of service on any Lichess account; or
the registrant has lost a game that was terminated due to "cheat detected" on any Lichess account; or
any other reason as set out in the Lichess4545 Terms of Service document that makes a registrant ineligible to participate.
The screening of registrants is important for maintaining the overall integrity of the league and is closely related to Lichess's legitimate interest in preventing and combating fraud on its site.
Facilitating league operations
We rely on our legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR to link information between Lichess, the league Slack workspace, and the league website. This is necessary for:
supporting the administration of our leagues (which typically see over 300 league games played each week); and
optimising the experience of playing in the leagues, such as by minimising the effort required to schedule games with opponents and detecting when leagues games start and finish on Lichess.
This process also captures and records data on Slack members' local time zones.
Documenting league results
We rely on our legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR to document league games and results on the Lichess4545 website as well as online spreadsheet files that are only accessed by members of the Lichess4545 Slack workspace. The publication of league game URLs and results on the Lichess4545 website or in Google Sheets files is compatible with the initial collection of Lichess usernames and justified by the additional terms in the Lichess4545 Terms of Service, which each entrant must also agree to.
Using Google services to record your Lichess username
We rely on our legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR to store a registrant's Lichess username with Alphabet, Inc. - the parent company of Google - if a registrant voluntarily and additionally registers for one or more of the internal "community" leagues that are organised exclusively for Lichess4545 Slack members.
These leagues typically use forms created with Google Forms to allow players to sign up for new league seasons and Google Sheets spreadsheets to record league pairings and results. No other information besides players' Lichess usernames are recorded on these forms and spreadsheets.
If a registrant chooses to sign up for a community league, we assume they have already familiarised themselves with Google's privacy policy (found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US).
Browser session cookies
We rely on our legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR to use session cookies on the Lichess4545 website that track (logged in) users' movements from one page to another without needing to repeatedly ask for authentication. Lichess has a legitimate interest in improving the browsing experience on the Lichess4545 website.
Stuff we're not responsible for
We are not responsible for data processing carried out by Slack or Google, and by consenting to our privacy policy, read in conjunction with our terms of service, a registrant agrees to waive Lichess of any responsibility for issues arising wholly or partly due to either Slack's or Google's mismanagement, negligence, or irresponsibility.
If a registrant no longer wants Lichess to store their Lichess4545 data with Slack or Google in the very limited ways we do, as set out above, Lichess will endeavour to remove all data as fully as we can. However, in some circumstances the registrant may need to contact Slack and Google individually to ensure they are fully removed from Google's and/or Slack's services.
Lichess cannot take responsibility for removing a registrant's data fully from Slack or Google, beyond a best efforts basis - therefore, all registrants relying on these additional (and in some cases, optional) features must familiarise themselves with how Slack and Google use data. All entrants will be assumed to have done this by the Lichess4545 team.
How we store personal information
Registrants' information is hosted by a secure professional service provider on servers located in the European Union.
Retention periods
We will keep a registrant's email address for the duration of the contract, then for the applicable limitation period for the purposes of managing disputes - in principle 5 years - as described in section 7 of the Lichess privacy policy.
For users that are logged in, we will keep session cookies for the duration of each browsing session. Users can configure these cookies from their own browser settings.
We will keep data on Lichess usernames and statistics relating to league games for the time required to keep statistics, in line with the justification set out in section 2.9 of the Lichess privacy policy ("Further processing of data for statistical purposes").
We will publish players' league game histories and performance ratings for the duration of the contract, then for the applicable limitation period for the purposes of managing disputes - in principle 5 years - as described in section 7 of the Lichess privacy policy.
Under data protection law, you have rights including:
Your right of access. In accordance with Article 15 of the GDPR, you have the right to ask us for copies of your personal information. Also, you can access your personal data on Lichess via this link (if you are logged in): https://lichess.org/account/personal-data.
Your right to rectification. In accordance with Article 16 of the GDPR, you have the right to ask us to rectify personal information you think is inaccurate. You also have the right to ask us to complete information you think is incomplete.
Your right to erasure. In accordance with Article 17 of the GDPR, you have the right to ask us to erase your personal information if at least one of the following is true:
You have withdrawn your consent for the processing of your email address.
You consider that your personal information has been the subject of unlawful processing by Lichess.
The personal information must be erased due to a legal obligation.
The personal information relates to a person who was younger than fifteen (15) years old when the data was collected.
Your right to restriction of processing. In accordance with Article 18, you have the right to ask us to restrict the processing of your personal information in certain circumstances.
Your right to object to processing. In accordance with Article 19 of the GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal information in certain circumstances.
Your right to data portability. In accordance with Article 20 of the GDPR, you have the right to ask that we transfer the personal information you gave us to another organisation, or to you, in certain circumstances.
You are not required to pay any charge for exercising your rights. If you make a request, we have one calendar month to respond to you.
Please note that Lichess is entitled to oppose the deletion of certain personal information when their retention is necessary for particularly important reasons, such as the protection and defence of its interests in court. In addition, instead of deleting the information, Lichess may choose to proceed with complete and irreversible anonymisation of the information to allow it to be retained in a format that no longer allows a data subject to be identified (eg for statistical purposes).
How to make a GDPR request or complaint
If you have any concerns about our use of your personal information, you can make a complaint to us, or send any other data query or request to gdpr@lichess.org.
If you are unhappy with how we have used your data, after contacting us in the first instance to resolve the matter informally, you have the right to contact the relevant authority for data protection in France, the Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL), via its website http://www.cnil.fr or by post to the following address: CNIL - 3, Place de Fontenoy - TSA 80715 - 75334 PARIS CEDEX 07.

All those ashy, faded, and greyish tones are so popular today. But, unfortunately, not all of them look natural. And this is where ash blonde balayage comes in! Though the ash-to-greyish hue prevails in this color idea, the streaks of natural blonde balance out the whole look, giving a very harmonic and effortless appearance.
Since the overwhelming popularity of ginger hair is not going to stop spreading around the globe, more and more ladies are dreaming about this color. And instead of getting envious every time a natural ginger-haired girl passes by, you'd better check out the variety of balayage options that can add a reddish hue to your life. This balayage hair idea is something unbelievable: caramel brown base smoothly becomes a flirty ginger shade. Why don't start with it? It's practically safe, especially if you start with brunette hair.
To achieve a multidimensional hair color naturally, you need to spend a lot of time soaking the sunlight. Sounds great, but not all women can afford such long-lasting beauty procedure. So here comes caramel balayage, the mix that can create a dimensional and, most importantly, natural look. It's one of the coolest options for brunettes as they only need to bleach some strands to bring it to life.

Christian evangelist Ray Comfort, whose Living Waters ministry projects include "God Doesn't Believe in Atheists," "Nothing Created Everything" and "Einstein, God and the Bible," as well as many man-in-the-street interview movies, has decided to let comedian and atheist Penn Jillette have his way.
Comfort announced on Tuesday he will cut from his new movie, "The Banana Man Story," an interview between the two recorded while the movie was in production.
The decision came after Jillette's representatives threatened to sue over the 10-minuted video of Jillette approaching Comfort after he had finished an interview with well-known atheist and theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss for the movie.
The interview was scheduled to go into the movie before the lawsuit threat.
The film explains how the world's most famous atheist, Richard Dawkins, made Comfort an instant "idiot-celebrity" among atheists worldwide by christening him "Banana Man" and mocking him on international television and in universities.
Comfort said his lawyers encouraged him to include the full clip, because there was good legal standing for it, but he decided instead to honor Jillette's wishes.
"We are still telling the whole amazing story of how Penn unexpectedly showed up at my interview with Lawrence Krauss, and how he was almost killed moments after we spoke on the sidewalk," Comfort said.
After Comfort and Jillette had finished talking, Jillette was talking with someone else then walked into traffic and nearly got hit by a car.
He later spoke about the incident on a podcast.
Comfort noted that Jillette had defended a New York artist's right to put a crucifix in a jar of urine.
Comfort also pointed out that without getting permission, Jillette tweeted a photograph of the two of them and discussed the interview on his radio program.
The interview was on a public sidewalk in Washington in 2016, and Comfort pointed out other atheists have been pleased to be included.
"When high-profile atheist Jaclyn Glenn found she had made the cut, she said tongue-in-cheek, 'You know that you've made it when you're in a Ray Comfort film,'" he said.
"I think Penn protesteth too much. The fact that the existence of God can be proven isn't something that should be hidden or censored," Comfort said.

I acknowledge all the faults of the movie, but in reality, you're thinking too deeply into this. Official COUSIN EDDIE'S RV MAINTENANCE MEN/UNISEX Shirt. If the average non-Asian girl goes to watch this movie, they will not be obsessively thinking about all of the faults you are detailing, instead, they would be exposed to attractive Asian men and thinking that Asia is some rich, opulent place. It's definitely a start. You're so focused on bringing down this movie when it's a stepping stone. The focus should be on building on this and creating more media that will address the faults that you mentioned. It comes out this Thursday and he is the lead… in a thriller! Indian director too (I heard of CRA treating Indians badly in their representation). I like how in the story he's just a dad looking for his missing daughter.
Official COUSIN EDDIE'S RV MAINTENANCE MEN/UNISEX.
There's a lot more hype around CRA for a lot of different reasons. Official COUSIN EDDIE'S RV MAINTENANCE MEN/UNISEX Shirt. I think Searching needs some help. I watched CRA for a girls' night (along with a couple guy friends), and it was a convenient time to get everyone to agree to meet up and watch Searching later next week. The trailer was more interesting to some of my guy friends, so we're going as a larger group. I hope users on this sub will give it a chance and help promote it too. Hollywood doesn't randomly do things, there's a lot of preplanning involved and casting decisions that need to be okay. I think people on here have every right to be skeptical. So many people at the bar thought we were pledges. That was a fun place. We were shocked they had Goose Island, a Chicago brewery.
Official COUSIN EDDIE'S RV MAINTENANCE MEN/UNISEX Shirt, ladies tee, sweatshirt unisex, classis guys.
Also, notice how they took Constance Wu from obscurity, and now she's plastered on every magazine cover. Official COUSIN EDDIE'S RV MAINTENANCE MEN/UNISEX Shirt. I wouldn't mind my kids watching it with the understanding that the movie is pure hyperbole, shallow, and mediocre at best. It does pain me a little to support the movie but I can't deny it is a baby step forward. My girlfriend and I were downtown with some friends and saw y'all standing smack in the middle of the bar! We figured Y'all were dressed up like someone but we had no idea what, but it was weird and extra funny walking into a bar and seeing a bunch of dudes in bathrobes and funny hats casually standing there watching hockey on the TV.
Official COUSIN EDDIE'S RV MAINTENANCE MEN/UNISEX Shirt, tank top, hoodie, guys v-neck.
10/10 Analysis of the movie. Official COUSIN EDDIE'S RV MAINTENANCE MEN/UNISEX Shirt. Definitely, trojan horse trappings and it has a lot of fellow Asians swallowing hook, line, and sinker. I like how you compared dirt as an upgrade to the trash movie Joy Luck Club. The social engineering in this movie is very discrete, strategized and manipulative. Only a truly woke, objective and intelligent critical thinking person can see through their evil propaganda and continued anti-Asian male agenda. Thank you for doing this in-depth analysis and educating us on this terrible movie. This is worthy enough to forward to every Asian leader and politician in Asia. You are absolutely correct on all your points. And the people behind it) like a cigarette company running a charity for cancer patients. while selling you poison. All that lip service about raising Asian representation is just a publicity stunt.

Novel nanotechnology processing capable of producing nanomaterials on an industrial scale
(Nanowerk News) Researchers at Illinois Tech recently unveiled a major breakthrough in nanotechnology processing that reduces the time, and increases the amount of product that can be manufactured on an industrial scale. The new technique makes nanotechnology economically viable for numerous applications, including pollution control for vehicles, reduction in waste heat from vehicles and electronics, and removal of toxic waste from water.
"This novel approach is capable of producing nanostructured material on an industrial scale and on an economically viable time-scale thus overcoming two major hurdles in nanotechnology; inability to scale up to industrial production quantities and economically unacceptable synthesis times," says Philip Nash, Charles and Lee Finkl Professor of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering.
Nash, working with graduate students Yang Zhou and Tian Liu of Armour College of Engineering's Department of Mechanical, Materials, and Aerospace Engineering, detailed his findings in a paper he co-authored with colleagues from Tianjin University, China on the large-scale synthesis of nanostructured plates.
The paper, published in Scientific Reports ("The Large Scale Synthesis of Aligned Plate Nanostructures"), describes a paradigm-shifting synthesis technique that can be applied to many alloy systems to produce functional material for applications in energy technology, catalysis, and waste-water treatment. The technique involves developing nanoscale two-phase microstructures through discontinuous precipitation followed by selective etching to remove one of the phases. The method may be applied to any alloy system in which the discontinuous precipitation transformation goes to completion.
The Ni-Co-Al alloy discussed in the paper epitomizes the concept. The material is ductile before heat treatment so that it can be fabricated into complex shapes, including tubes and wire. The alloy can then be treated to produce the nanostructure either on the inside, outside, or both sides of the tube. The tube will retain its structural integrity and has the added functionality of the nanoscale surface.

Start your Riverside apartment search!
Despite Austin's longtime motto of "Keep Austin Weird," the city is rapidly changing. For those who miss the affordable hipster vibe that traditionally reigned supreme, you may still be able to find it in the Riverside neighborhood in southeast Austin if you move quickly. A rush of new housing developments shows that this neighborhood isn't being overlooked anymore.
Lured by Texas' good economy and great weather, Austin has topped lists of fastest-growing cities for years. It's also the least traditionally Texan of all of Texas' big cities by reputation. But with thousands of new residents moving here each year, it's not surprising that the character of the city is changing. Riverside represents the funky vibe the city used to be known for, but it's hard to miss the new developments. Riverside is still the affordable alternative to pricier neighborhoods—but maybe not for long.
Riverside is appealing because of its convenient location. It's just a few minutes away from the central business district, so you won't have to spend hours stuck in traffic. You can get by without a car in Riverside, but it will be more difficult than in other Austin neighborhoods. A lot of people choose to get around the neighborhood by bike.
Riverside has a very unpretentious vibe that you'll feel in the low-key shops and clubs. The Buzz Mill and Café Crème are two local coffee shops that will make you forget all about the chains. The club scene in Riverside is also a lot of fun: longtime local favorite Emo's recently relocated from downtown to this neighborhood.
You'll find some of the most ethnically diverse restaurants in Riverside. The 888 Pan Asian restaurant offers delicious Vietnamese and Asian Fusion dishes at dirt-cheap prices. Rosita's Al Pastor has both a food truck and a brick-and-mortar restaurant where you can get authentic Mexican eats. But if you're in Texas, you can't miss your chance at some all-American BBQ, and you'll love the hospitality at The Blue Ox.
Like most Austinites, Riverside residents don't let the hot summers prevent them from going outside and being active. You'll see people hanging out at the Mabel Davis District Park, a facility that has an Olympic-sized pool and a 12,000 square foot skate park. Being active is not as much about trying to be fit for fitness's sake in Riverside so much as it is about enjoying a fun lifestyle.
Despite the new developments going on, Riverside still has a lot of trees and green space. Unlike some other Austin neighborhoods, you'll feel like you're in a park-esque environment instead of being surrounded by concrete and skyscrapers. The Colorado River provides the northern border of the neighborhood, and jogging trails run alongside the river for a serene backdrop.
Housing in Riverside is a mix of older apartment complexes that are budget-friendly and brand new condos and apartments. You'll find a lot of students and working families in the older apartments, and you can find some houses for rent in this neighborhood as well. The newer apartments and condos are more expensive and are attracting professionals who have been priced out of downtown.
Because so many people are moving to Austin, many are looking for the next big neighborhood. Riverside's historic affordability put it in the crosshairs, and a lot of people are snapping up property here. The rental and real estate market in southeast Austin is competitive enough that Riverside is becoming the hot new place to live. If you find a place that you like, you should put in an application right away.
The older apartment complexes offer few frills other than a community pool, which is a must at virtually every Texas apartment. However, the new condos and apartments being built are nothing short of luxurious. Most newer apartments in Riverside have upgrades like granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Many also offer social events like wine tastings and have features like eco-friendly building standards and onsite dog parks.
Riverside is a cool place to hang out, and in the near future you might still be able to snag a good deal on apartments. Many parts of the neighborhood maintain the appeal of what Austin used to be like 20 years ago. If you're feeling the call to live in Riverside, the right time to move is now, as prices will likely continue to rise in upcoming years. There's no place like Riverside!

Beaverton, a mere seven miles west of Portland, is much more than just a suburb of Oregon's largest city. It is home to sporting goods giant Nike, and, in 2010, was named one of Money magazine's "100 best places to live." With approximately 90,000 people, Beaverton is the sixth-largest city in Oregon and the second-largest in Washington County. The Law Office of Matthew D. Kaplan serves Beaverton and the rest of the Portland metropolitan area: from Vancouver, Washington south to the California border. Matthew D. Kaplan's office at 50 SW Pine St #302 in Portland, Oregon is the place to turn if you are uncertain what your rights are and whether the courts can offer you justice. Call his office at (503) 226-3844 to schedule an appointment.
As a city with a well-deserved reputation for being outdoorsy, even by Oregon's high standards, Beaverton is also a place where the risks of Oregon personal injuries is high. Matthew Kaplan's legal services for the Beaverton community include legal advice on the aftermath of auto accidents with a particular emphasis on traumatic brain injuries and their aftermath.
Federal government statistics indicate that "motor vehicle-traffic injury is the leading cause of TBI-related death" in the United States and that the risk is highest for men in their early 20s. Combine this with state figures showing that the city of Beaverton alone recorded nearly 1700 auto crashes in 2010, resulting in over 1150 injuries, and one begins to get some sense of the seriousness of the issue. More than 73 percent of these crashes took place during the daytime – a fact that calls into question the conventional wisdom that one experiences the greatest danger while driving at night.
As the Brain Injury Association of Oregon notes, the single best way to deal with this risk is to wear seatbelts whenever one is in a car. That goes for passengers in the back seat (for whom seat belt use is not mandatory) as well as for the driver and passenger in the front seat, who are required by law to be buckled up. Recovering from a traumatic brain injury can be a long and complicated process. State figures indicate that "persons who suffer a severe TBI continue to make gradual improvements in functioning for at least 10 years post-injury." This makes it especially important that victims have the legal representation necessary to ensure that their needs are met during the extended recovery period following a TBI incident.
As an attorney licensed to practice in both Oregon and Washington Matthew Kaplan brings a particularly broad range of experience to cases such as these. He believes our court system can be a force for good, and feels strongly that it offers unparalleled opportunities for achieving justice. Oregon car accident, spinal cord and traumatic brain injury cases can often be complex and emotionally draining. Matthew creates a safe and comfortable environment – one designed to put you at your ease and ensure that your first steps in the legal system are smooth.
The Law Office of Matthew D. Kaplan is conveniently located in downtown Portland at 50 SW Pine St #302.


RICHMOND, Va. — Women visiting friends, family, and loved ones incarcerated in Virginia prisons were not going to be allowed to wear tampons during visits starting October 6.
The change was announced by the Virginia Department of Corrections however, the Secretary of Public Safety and Homeland Security for the Commonwealth of Virginia Brian Moran sent out the following tweets announcing the suspension of the change in policy Tuesday afternoon.
"Having been recently informed of a recent Virginia Department of Corrections (DOC) visitation policy, I have ordered its immediate suspension until further review. I understand DOC's precautionary steps to detect the rising threat of contraband, overdoses and even deaths among our offender population. A number of concerns have been raised about the new procedure. Though the policy has not taken effect and is scheduled for October 6, I feel it appropriate to immediately suspend the newly developed policy until a more thorough review of its implementation and potential consequences are considered."
News 3's Margaret Kavanagh met up with a local woman who is furious over the state's new policy. Kristian Jones makes regular visits to see her loved one, Jemond Townes, who has three more years left in his sentence.
"During visitation over the weekend we were told to read a note that was posted," Jones said.
The note told visitors that beginning next month, they are not allowed to wear tampons when visiting prisons.
"I think it's disgusting. I think it's inhumane. It's unsanitary," she said. "I understand keeping drugs out of the prison, but if we're honest here a lot of drugs go in through other ways - not just through the women, not just through the visitors."
Prison officials say there have been inmates who have died of drug overdoses while in custody and say it's their job to keep offenders and staff as safe as they can.
However, people like Jones say it's going a bit too far.
"I understand keeping the inmates safe, keeping the CEOs safe - you definitely don't want any issues there but to literally have to remove a tampon and take what you give me, it's just... it's gruesome."


Integrating an optimized call-to-action into your social media interactions and content makes it actionable and measurable by getting participants to act.
Without a call-to-action, your social media marketing is just branding. It doesn't support engaging with prospects, deepening relationship, or generating leads or sales.
Here are five findings to make your social media media calls-to-action more effective at generating leads and closing them.
Dan Zarrella found that use of active words and adverbs on Twitter increased click-throughs. It makes sense if you want your prospects to do something, use the active voice, especially on Twitter where you've got less than 140 characters to convey your message. This means including verbs and adverbs rather than nouns.
Tell prospects what you want them to do. Don't assume potential customer are clear about what you want of them.
Be clear and concise. On Twitter, like other social media platforms you don't have a lot of space or time to make your case.
After you've done the hard work of creating great content that attracts prospects to your social media pages, you have to solicit a response. Otherwise, your marketing is a wasted effort. Based on 1.2 million posts from the top 10,000 most Liked Facebook Pages Dan Zarrella specifically examined Facebook posts that included the words "like," "comment," or "share." He found these posts tended to gather more of the specific action they referenced compared to posts without those words. As Zarrella points out, Facebook through Edge Rank encourages engagement and activity.
Make it easy to respond. Don't make participants think or you'll loose them. Your goal is to guide them to action.
Eliminate extraneous options. Direct marketers know that offering too many options means that prospects don't act. It requires thinking. As a result they put off doing anything, even if it's only signing up for your emailing.
3 – Craft specific, contextually requests.
Dan Zarrella analyzed 10,000 tweets. He found 51% of tweets including "Please ReTweet" were retweeted more than once, 39% of those including "Please RT" were retweeted more than once, and 12% of tweets including neither phrase were retweeted more than once. By explicitly spelling out what you want your followers to do, you can increase the number of retweets over twentyfold. This makes sense since not of your followers may be understand your abbreviations.
Incorporate contextually relevant calls-to-action in your social media calendar. Make sure that your calls-to-action are part of your content creation for social media.
4 – Tailor call-to-action landing pages to increase results.
Based on Hubspot data the number of leads versus number of landing pages shows exponential growth, the tipping point for lead growth is 10 to 15 landing pages which causes leads to increase by 55%.
Continue the voice, wording and graphics from social media content. Bryan Eisenberg refers to this as scent. The goal is to reinforce the impression that the participant is in the right place.
Streamline the process. Once your prospect is ready to act, reduce the number of steps they need to take. Don't assume that they're willing to put up with clicking through more than once. Further minimize the amount of information you collect to maximize the number of prospects.
Remove all distractions. Laser focus on getting prospects to complete the step you'd like them to take.
5 – Be prepared to respond when participants are ready.
Timing counts! If you've invested in moving a participant to respond to your social media call-to-action, you must be ready to nurture and convert them. Hubspot discovered that 50% of leads are qualified to purchase but not ready to close the deal. Further, the firm that responded first acquired 78% of sales started with an online inquiry.
Develop means to nurture and close leads. Many buyers require time to do research and consider their options when in purchasing mode. It's critical to get and keep your firm in their consideration set. To this end, you need to have a way of continuing to communicate with prospects through a targeted email series or other method.
Offer prospects multiple ways to contact your firm. While many respondents want to use email, don't overlook other options such as chat, text and phone. Also, provide multiple device options.
Include a call-to-action in your social media interactions and content to make your marketing more effective. To this end, be as explicit and contextually relevant as possible to increase your results.
Do you use social media calls-to-action? If so, how and where do you use them?

Thanks for sharing these tips. A lot of stuff in here I was not aware of.
The choice of the language that is used for social media posts and landing pages is extremely important to achieving the desired outcomes. The easiest engagement is to encourage people to 'like' your posts. Savvy social media marketers will use this as leverage to improve their Edge Rank and maintain a good position in the newsfeed.
This is another useful information to improve my social media marketing.. Thanks for sharing this article!
It's really interesting that when you tell people to retweet, comment, like, etc., it works. If I take myself, for example, these call-to-actions don't work on me, or better to say I don't retweet something just because it says "retweet". Interesting article – thanks for sharing it with us.
Thanks for the article, however I was confused by the heading then the subheading. You list five, then go on to say 11.
Thanks for sharing these tips. I personally dislike when someone asks me to retweet something, but I may implement these in my role as the social media manager for Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon!
Thanks for sharing these tips.It's really useful.Keep sharing.
These are REALLY great tips, Heidi! it's amazing how far simply asking someone for help will go in social media.
That is so interesting to know people actually like and retweet when asked. I've applied that principle in other calls to action (buy now, sign up today), but personally can't stand it when I see someone say please like. Maybe it's b/c I am in the biz. :). I'll just have to get over that and try it out. Thanks for the tips!
I totally agree. It's not genuine when you ask people to share or like. POST GOOD CONTENT and people will like/share it. Like and Share mean nothing for metrics. It's the sales that matter at the end of the day.
Check out the Condescending Corporate Brand page (https://www.facebook.com/corporatebollocks?fref=ts) They make fun of all the brands that use this terrible model.


1)What is Astrology? Do you believe in it? What about Magic? Have you ever had any magical encounter?
Astrology, as the dictionary says, is the study of the movements and positions of the sun, moon, planets, and stars, and the skill of describing the effect that some people believe these have on the character and lives of people.
I personally don't believe in astrology as I've never witnessed somone's life to change because of the stars and I don't believe in magic either since when someone mentions it, the first things that pop into my mind are Harry Potter, fairy tales or wizards, and besides, I've never had a magical encounter. Although my mom once told me that when she was pregnant of me, a gypsy 'read her hand' and told her that I was going to be a girl (my mom didn't know yet) and that I should be named Gema.
And we had to create a scene that could be inserted in a logical way in the story.
This the one I created.

The Steelers have not had contact with Le'Veon Bell this week and they do not expect the running back to report in time for Thursday night's game against the Panthers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com (on Twitter) hears. Bell's debut may come on Nov. 18 against the Jaguars, but some uncertainty's emerged on this front.
Bell must report to the Steelers by Nov. 13 in order to play this season, but contrary to what ESPN and other outlets have previously reported, he does not have to report to the Steelers by a certain date to get an accrued season to become eligible for free agency. Bell already has played the four-plus seasons he needs to become a free agent after the season.
The two-time All-Pro running back has missed out on more than $7MM and could conceivably wind up on the Steelers' exempt list, which would allow the franchise to pay Bell at its discretion. Now that Bell has already missed out on half of his franchise tag salary ($14.1MM), would be merely sit out the season?
Bell returning would net him millions, but he's already sacrificed nearly eight figures to stay healthy for free agency. While a return would allow him to minimize his workload, he could still be injured during Pittsburgh's stretch run and ruin this bold strategy's purpose in advance of a potential March windfall.
If Bell does not report, the Steelers will have the right to franchise tag him for a third time, but at the rate of a second tag.
Despite his differences with the Steelers, Bell refused to go along with a midseason trade in order to give himself the best opportunity to showcase himself before free agency. It remains to be seen whether that was a smart move. When Bell returns, he may be in a timeshare with his one-time backup, James Conner, and that could hurt his value in the spring.
Even without one of the game's most talented running backs, the Steelers have looked the part of a contender thanks to Conner's play. On Sunday, the Steelers improved to 5-2-1 on the year as Conner ran for 107 yards off of 24 carries against the Ravens. His 1,085 yards from scrimmage sit only behind Todd Gurley, who's played one more game than Conner.
It's difficult to think of someone as a hostage when they are getting 15M per year.
He's not getting a dime and will only get paid if/once he reports. He is throwing away almost 900k per game.
Having no future in Pittsburgh, Bell will never report. He's going to follow Kaepernick down the "collusion" yellow brick road.
Kind of hard to go down that road when there is one and only one team involved. He is actually harming himself by sitting out because when he has work outs with other teams, he will be rusty from sitting out an entire year. He will limit the number of teams willing to spend for him and no one will be willing to spend what he thinks he is worth especially after sitting out an entire season.
hes asking for what DJohnson and Gurley got… his numbers are as good or better. why wont he get it?
He's older then them and didn't play football for a year.
This is the dumbest thing in the world. He already said he doesn't want to wear his body before he gets paid. That was a gamble he took. Will it pay off? I'm sure some team will do it. Will the Steelers tag him again? I'd hope so. If he isn't playing for them do they want him out there playing against them? This is all new territory the further it gets played out. But to compare it to what Kap is doing is crazy.
Sometimes it's fun to just see how many guys you can hook by proposing a crazy scenario.
So, he Wasted a year of NOT getting beat down by 400 touches? What if it add an extra year on the backend of his career. Could that be a possibility?
he'll have wasted about $10 mil since he'll be paid for once he reports.
and to say he'll never recoup that money is ignorant of how nfl contracts work. Not only will he get the money back in future guarantees, but he's giving himself a better chance at being healthy enough to earn more money on the backend of his next deal when the money isnt guaranteed..
That's a stupid assessment. What's another year of mediocre performance 5 years from now? Bell had the chance to show his stuff and lure some sucker team with a bad O-line to sign him. Then they'll be shocked when he doesn't put up the same numbers he did in Pittsburgh.
Aye guy you're funny, there's gonna be at least a dozen teams that are gonna be interested in Bell, and he's gonna get paid a lot. GMs realize Bell is a franchise back, the whole reason he's not playing is cause he wants to get paid once he does he'll play. The NFL needs to do what the MLB recently did if you get hit with the franchise tag you can't get hit with it again.
Nah… they're just hoping he doesn't get paid. Quite comical that they hate on a guy that's well within his rights to sit out until he gets why he thinks he's earned.
And the steelers have every right to not pay him. It's working out pretty well for the steelers. No disrespect to bell or Conner, but the o line is a big part in how well a running back plays. Especially when Ben is at qb and one of the best receivers in the game is on the field. Steelers were smart to not pay Bell what he's asking for.
Exactly! At least somebody around he gets it since these dweebs don't.
He's gonna get paid a lot but he won't recover the money he has lost this year. He was going to get paid a lot regardless. They aren't going to give him an extra 2 or 3 mil per year that he lost this year.
You guys make me laugh when you think Bell is the greatest RB of all time or something. It's his blocking, stupid. I hope your team or any other team signs Bell and then I'll watch the lame "well, he has to shake off the rust of not playing in 2018" as the reason for mediocre performance in 2019…assuming Bell isn't serving another drug suspension. Ask your owner to get his checkbook out.
Hoping he doesn't show up at all or shows up and the team deactivated him for the rest of the season. The only way I would bring him back is if Conner gets hurt. At this point, he's going to do more damage to the team than benefit.
His little stunt cost him his starting job. Why would Pittsburgh give him any touches at this point?
I would argue the opposite. I think if he ever does report, the Steelers are going to run him into the ground, knowing that they won't be resigning him and trying to get every yard they can get out of him. He has an incentive to play hard and productively when he does report – his next contract.
Though they still would need an effective RB, which I doubt Bell would immediately be after so much time off. Steelers would be wise to ease Bell back in, especially given how well Conner has filled in.
What team is going to give him the money he wants? If they make him one of the highest paid backs is the league, for multiple years, there is a huge risk he holds out for that team because others have surpassed his contract. Of course, he's not getting younger. Dumb move…I think his career will suffer because of it!
and none of them are worried about your incorrect opinion that hed hold out for not being the highest paid rb. for starters, not signing a franchise tag isnt holding out. and secondly, hes not asking to be the highest paid rb. hes asking to be given similar guarantees.
$14,375,000. Bell's franchise tag is worth $14,544,000, and he wants more than that… So yeah, he IS asking to be the highest paid RB in the league.
He's been in Miami during this holdout…it this a sign he's on his way back to Pitt this week?
I bet Leveon was the one blowing up Gruden with prank calls on that cell phone he's so proud of.

A Escola de Engenharia de São Carlos (EESC) é uma unidade da Universidade de São Paulo, localizada no campus de São Carlos, dedicada ao ensino, pesquisa e extensão na área de engenharia.

História
Criada pela Lei Estadual nº 161, de 1948, pouco após o final da Segunda Guerra Mundial e implantada em dezembro de 1952, a Escola de Engenharia de São Carlos da Universidade de São Paulo, EESC-USP, instalou-se no prédio cedido em caráter provisório pela antiga sede da Societá Dante Alighieri, edificação tombada pelo CONDEPHAAT, utilizado atualmente pelo Centro de Divulgação Científica e Cultural da USP (CDCC).

O primeiro concurso vestibular realizou-se em 1953, com a oferta de cinquenta vagas para ingresso no Curso de Engenharia, com vistas às Habilitações em Engenharia Civil e Engenharia Mecânica. Inscreveram-se duzentos interessados, dentre os quais foram selecionados trinta e nove. Sendo que a aula inaugural aconteceu em 18 de abril de 1953, pelo então Governador do Estado de São Paulo Lucas Nogueira Garcez, que também era engenheiro e o curso teve início no dia 22 do mesmo mês, dia que foi também fundado o Centro Acadêmico Armando de Salles Oliveira (CAASO), órgão representante do corpo discente .

Instituído em 1972, o Campus da USP em São Carlos foi integrado pela Escola de Engenharia de São Carlos e duas outras Unidades Universitárias que dela se originaram em 1971: o Instituto de Ciências Matemáticas de São Carlos, atualmente denominado Instituto de Ciências Matemáticas e de Computação (ICMC), e o Instituto de Física e Química de São Carlos, posteriormente desmembrado em Instituto de Física de São Carlos (IFSC) e Instituto de Química de São Carlos (IQSC). No final de 2010 foi criado o Instituto de Arquitetura e Urbanismo (IAU), a partir do desmembramento do antigo Departamento de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da EESC, também como fruto da consolidação das atividades desenvolvidas na área.

A EESC figura-se como uma ilha de excelência no ensino e pesquisa das ciências exatas no interior do Estado de São Paulo, envolta de dezenas de pequenas empresas de tecnologia de ponta ligadas ao Parque Tecnológico de São Carlos (ParqTec).

Lema
O lema adotado pelo seu primeiro Diretor, Prof. Theodoreto de Arruda Souto, em 1952 foi e continua sendo inspiração para seguidas gerações de estudantes de engenharia da EESC: Nesta casa se procura a verdade científica e a técnica de adaptação das energias da natureza a serviço da humanidade.

Diretores da EESC
Ao longo de sua existência a Escola de Engenharia de São Carlos foi liderada pelos seguintes diretores:

 Theodoreto de Arruda Souto (1952-1967); também foi vice-diretor da EPUSP (1947)
 Ruy Alberto Corrêa Altafim (1967-1970)
 Morency Arouca (1970-1974)
 Romeu Corsini (1975-1979)
 Swami Marcondes Vilela (1979-1983)
 Dante Ângelo Osvaldo Martinelli (1983-1986)
 Marcius Fantozzi Giorgetti (1986-1990)

 Geraldo Roberto Martins da Costa (2011-2015)
 Paulo Sérgio Varoto (2015-2019)
 Edson Cezar Wendland (2019-atual)

O ciclo básico
Ao ingressar na Escola de Engenharia, o aluno inicia o chamado Ciclo Básico. Neste período, de duração de 2 anos, o estudante se dedicará integralmente ao estudo da Física (Física I, II, III e IV), Matemáticas (Cálculo I, II, III, Função de Variáveis Complexas, Geometria Analítica, Álgebra Linear, Métodos Numéricos I e II, Equações Diferenciais Ordinárias, etc.), Química (Química Geral I, Laboratório de Química Geral I, etc.), Computação e algumas disciplinas de História da Ciência. Neste período algumas disciplinas introdutórias do segmento do curso de engenharia escolhido serão ministradas. Ademais, é neste momento em que grande parte dos alunos se prepara para processos seletivos para realização de parte dos estudos em universidades estrangeiras, principalmente na Europa.

Mobilidade internacional
A EESC tem firmado, parcerias acadêmicas internacionais com universidades de renome, localizadas principalmente na Europa. Atualmente existem 27 convênios ativos com instituições estrangeiras de ensino de engenharia e ciências, sendo algumas delas provedoras de bolsas de estudos e programas de dupla-formação (duplo-diploma), como os convênios com as École Centrale e a École Polytechnique de Paris, ou a Universidade de Tübingen, na Alemanha.

Atividades de Extensão
Com o objetivo de aproximar o estudante de engenharia de atividades extra-curriculares, os alunos da Escola de Engenharia da USP em São Carlos fundaram e gerenciam através de patrocínios da indústria brasileira e de suporte da EESC, diversos grupos de desenvolvimento prático da engenharia, dentre os quais, somam-se:

Grupo de Estudos Avançados em Robótica (GEAR)
Fundado e atualmente coordenado por alunos e professores das Engenharias Elétrica e Computação , com participação de estudantes das engenharias mecatrônica e mecânica, o grupo GEAR tem como missão o estudo e aprimoramento das técnicas de engenharia robótica. O grupo GEAR é considerado uma divisão discente do SEL/EESC/USP. Dentre seus programas e projetos, destacou-se em Dallas, Flavio Pires , chefiando a equipe de Futebol de Robôs do Departamento de Engenharia Elétrica, vice-campeã do V Latin American Robotics Competition (Categoria RoboCup Small Soccer // F-180). A Competição, realizada entre 26 a 29 de Outubro de 2008, promovida pelo  e pela  RoboCup Federatio  RoboCup.

Equipe EESC-USP de Aerodesign

A equipe EESC-USP de Aerodesign foi fundada em 1998 por alunos do curso de engenharia mecânica com ênfase em aeronaves da Escola de Engenharia de São Carlos. Inicialmente, o objetivo era divulgar a competição no Brasil, buscando atrair, desta forma, o interesse de outras escolas, tentando viabilizar uma competição similar a norte-americana em nível nacional. Para tanto em outubro de 1998 os trabalhos da equipe foram divulgados na Fealtec (Feira de Alta Tecnologia), evento que reúne anualmente em São Carlos-SP empresas da área de tecnologia e onde a primeira aeronave da equipe ficou em exposição e fez demonstrações de voo. Outro compromisso importante da equipe foi a participação no Congresso Internacional da SAE em São Paulo no mês de novembro de 1998, onde foi feita uma apresentação técnica do projeto na "Noite dos Estudantes", evento tradicional no congresso que reúne trabalhos de destaque realizados por estudantes de engenharia na área da mobilidade, divulgando assim a competição para os profissionais da área e atraindo potenciais patrocinadores para o futuro evento. Após esta apresentação a equipe teve a confirmação extra-oficial, que viria mais tarde a se confirmar, da realização de um campeonato nacional de AeroDesign.

A equipe obteve as seguintes premiações: tricampeã Brasileira na Classe Regular (1999, 2002 e 2015), campeã da East Competition na Classe Regular (2002), tetracampeã Brasileira na Classe Aberta (2005, 2006, 2008 e 2009), tricampeã da East Competition na Classe Aberta (2006, 2007 e 2009), bicampeã Brasileira na Classe Micro (2009 e 2010) e aampeã da East Competition na Classe Micro (2010).

Equipe Baja SAE
A Equipe EESC USP Baja SAE é um grupo de estudantes de engenharia com aproximadamente 30 membros, que tem como objetivo a concepção de um projeto e construção de um carro da categoria off road tipo Baja para disputar em competições regionais, nacionais e internacionais organizadas pela Sociedade dos Engenheiros da Mobilidade (SAE).

Uma das equipes pioneiras do projeto baja no Brasil, fundada em 1994 ao longo dos anos em competições nacionais e internacionais, a Equipe possui um título regional, se fez duas vezes vice-campeã nacional e é Hexacampeã da competição nacional de Baja SAE. Além disso, já disputou a SAE Midwest (competição internacional de Baja) sete vezes, sendo que  segundo lugar, entre 140 equipes de oito países. Além disso, já disputou a SAE Midwest (competição internacional de Baja) sete vezes, sendo que  segundo lugar, entre 140 equipes de oito países.

Equipe EESC-USP Formula SAE
A Equipe EESC-USP Formula SAE é um grupo formado por aproximadamente 60 estudantes de diversas engenharias, de graduação e pós-graduação, que tem como objetivo o desenvolvimento do projeto e da manufatura de um veículo de alto desempenho do tipo Formula, para disputar as competições organizadas pela Sociedade dos Engenheiros da Mobilidade (SAE) no Brasil e no exterior.

Fundada em 2003, é uma das mais tradicionais da competição, conquistou o primeiro lugar no Fórmula SAE Brasil quatro vezes (2004, 2005, 2015 e 2016) e conquistado diversos prêmios ao longo das doze competições realizadas no Brasil, como o Prêmio de Inovação Tecnológica por duas vezes (2007 e 2009) e o Prêmio de Melhor Projeto por nove vezes (2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2011, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017). O escritório de projetos e a oficina estão situados no Campus I da Escola de Engenharia de São Carlos. A Equipe usufrui de grande parte da estrutura da Universidade, como por exemplo o dinamômetro do Laboratório de Motores para calibração do motor, o Laboratório de Metrologia para medição de peças e do próprio motor na máquina de medição a três coordenadas e o Laboratório de Materiais para testes mecânicos de dureza em componentes estruturais. São utilizadas também as vias dos Campi I e II para testes do protótipo. Além disso, conta-se também com o apoio de técnicos e professores, que agregam conhecimento e contribuem para o aperfeiçoamento e para o sucesso dos projetos. Promove-se também uma aproximação entre a Universidade e o mercado de trabalho através das empresas parceiras, as quais permitem a utilização de seus produtos no desenvolvimento do carro, além de realizarem treinamentos e outros eventos dos quais os estudantes participam. Ao longo de sua história, a Equipe tem se destacado por aliar tecnologia, eficiência e baixo custo, obtendo assim reconhecimento nacional e internacional.

Toronto Raptors head coach Nick Nurse to experiment with lineups throughout the 2018-19 season
Although the preseason ends for the Raptors on Thursday, Toronto head coach Nick Nurse has indicated that he'll continue to try different lineups for the foreseeable future.
By Gilbert McGregor
Jonas Valanciunas, Kyle Lowry and Pascal Siakam (NBA Getty Images) https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/NBA_Global_CMS_image_storage/5f/dd/valanciunas-lowry-siakam-101818-ftr-nba-getty_lvowp3b7nnnj15mxcc9nfqekm.jpg?t=1608907878&w=500
Ahead of Wednesday's meeting with the Brooklyn Nets, Toronto Raptors head coach Nick Nurse hinted to members of the media that his preseason lineup experiments will continue throughout the course of the regular season.
Nurse on tonight and starters over the rest of the year: u guys know some spots are solidified but there are other spots that are fluid and there will be a reason we trot certain guys out there. In other words expect changes all season #rtz #Raptors
- Paul Jones (@Paul__Jones) October 10, 2018
It's safe to assume All-Stars Kyle Lowry and Kawhi Leonard have solidified starting spots, while the other three spots in the lineup are more fluid, evidenced by Jonas Valanciunas' role as a reserve in Games 1 and 3 of the preseason.
"I don't think I'm done looking at combinations and I don't think there's going to be much of a set thing - at the start, especially." Nurse said earlier in the week. "There will be some different starting lineups, which means there will be some different second units."
Toronto's second unit, which tied with the Spurs as the fourth-highest scoring bench in the league in 2017-18, played an integral role in the team earning the East's No. 1 seed last season. With more fluid lineups, the second unit should remain atop the league scoring-wise, as it will likely feature different combinations of starting-calibre players like Valanciunas throughout the year.
The Raptors' new head coach continued, emphasizing that the team is just as deep as last year, if not deeper: "We have nine guys that were in the rotation last year back, maybe 10, and we added a couple of guys and we know those guys are pretty good players."
While much of the rotation remains up in the air, Nurse is certain that the team's backcourt will be made up of different combinations of Kyle Lowry, CJ Miles, Fred VanVleet, Delon Wright and Danny Green. The addition of Green is a 3-point shooting boost to a second unit that features VanVleet and Miles.
Nurse's curiosity is more related to his frontcourt rotation, which becomes even more stout with OG Anunoby making his preseason debut against the Nets: "A big part of Wednesday will be getting [OG] in the mix and seeing it … That's where we're at with 3s and 4s and whose playing those 3-4-5 spots are really what we're rotating around."
He continued, saying "if Kawhi and OG are on the floor together, hopefully they're going to be interchangeable at the 3-4, it shouldn't really matter much."
In addition to Anunoby and Leonard, Nurse says that Pascal Siakam, who has made great improvements over the offseason, is close to being that type of player as well. Siakam will likely be a fixture in the second unit, bringing versatility on both ends of the floor.
While rotations and lineups will be a source of intrigue throughout the early stages of the regular season, expect the Raptors to key in on a more definitive rotation for the year's stretch run.

Matthew Zapruder, poetry editor for the New York Times Magazine, says of Eileen Myles's poem "Summer": "Its drifting, elusive movement defines and also conjures the feeling of experiencing summer itself." This week, make a short list of adjectives and phrases that signify to you the feeling of experiencing summer. Then write a poem that mimics the motions, rhythms, or sensations of the season. Be sure to include personal impressions or events that make your observations unique.
Do the Dew
A recent issue of the New Yorker includes poet Timothy Donnelly's wild ode to one of his favorite guilty pleasures, "Diet Mountain Dew." The poem barrels along, exploring all the qualities of the less-than-quality beverage, including its radiant green, prominent logo, and commercial history. Write an ode to one of your own culinary guilty pleasures that engages directly with its unsavory elements, such as its ingredients, appearance, and origin. Use your imagination to transform these details into avenues for lyrical observations.
That One Year
This week, select a random year from the last five to ten years, and by combing through your memory, old notes, e-mails, and calendars, jot down a list of events in your life from that year. What were some of your reactions and emotions that accompanied those situations? Write a poem that encapsulates the ups and downs of that single year. Be sure to explore how the intervening years between then and now may have provided you with a wiser, refreshed perspective on past occurrences, and offers a reflective conclusion to your poem.
In the story of Pandora's box in Greek mythology, Pandora, the first human woman created by the gods, opens the lid of a container, thereby allowing all of the evils stored inside to escape out into the world. In contemporary colloquial usage, to "open a Pandora's box" refers to an action that seems small or harmless but ultimately proves to have disastrous consequences. Write a poem that starts with a seemingly innocent action, which then unexpectedly unleashes a dramatic chain of events. For inspiration, listen to Ada Limón's poem "The Last Move."
A New Color
Visual artists who have been productive over long stretches of time often develop certain periods of work with shared characteristics, such as similar color palettes. For example, Paul Cézanne and Henri Matisse both had dark periods, Pablo Picasso had his blue and rose periods, and Victor Vasarely had a black-and-white period. As we begin to think about the year's transition from winter to spring, bringing along with it seasonal changes in light and sound, consider embarking on a new period of your own work. Write a series of short poems inspired by your observations of the different colors, moods, and scenery around you that signal the forthcoming spring season. To begin a green period, for example, what might be your key points of inspiration, in terms of imagery and vocabulary?
Sounds Like a Collision
Scientists announced last month that they had recorded the sound of two black holes colliding and merging a billion light-years away. The sound was described as a small, quick, birdlike chirp. Create a list of object pairs; the items can be clearly connected—like a red car and a blue car, or you and a loved one—or disparate, or conceptual. Choose an especially inspiring pair from your list and write a poem about the two objects as they head on a collision course, and the unexpected sound that's heard when they finally merge.
Begin at the End
If you're having trouble starting a poem, begin at the end. Take a single collection of poems and make a list of the last two words from each poem. Then write your own poem using only these words. Be vigilant at first utilizing just the vocabulary from the list. After a couple of drafts, stray from the limited words to help bring the poem to its full realization.
Write a poem exploring a broad topic or theme—like love, death, kindness, the passage of time, or faith, for example—that uses vivid, sensory detail. Utilize language from familiar worlds such as animal behavior or everyday household objects to form connections to these larger subjects. For inspiration, listen to the late C. D. Wright read "Obscurity and Voyaging" in the latest episode of Ampersand: The Poets & Writers Podcast.
Scientists recently reported that 2015 was the hottest year on record, and yet certain areas of the North Atlantic Ocean experienced unusually low temperatures, and New York City had its second largest snowfall last month. With these historic weather events in mind, write a two-part poem with a tone shift involving hot and cold climates. Move beyond the most frequently used images and vocabulary associated with extreme temperatures, and explore fresh new ideas, sounds, and textures that achieve chilling or sweltering effects.
February 8 marks the new year on the lunar calendar this year. On the Chinese zodiac, this date marks the passage from the Year of the Sheep, a year of prosperity and promise, to the Year of the Monkey, a sign known for mischief and playfulness. Write a poem about this animal sign, looking beyond the typically cited characteristics of the monkey and exploring the lesser-known traits that might be associated with your own specific wishes or worries for 2016.
The Sentence
The challenge is simple: Write a poem that is a single sentence long. But don't write just any old sentence. Instead, challenge yourself to sustain the sentence for as long as possible. Use all the tools of syntax, grammar, and poetic form to help keep it going. While these tools are already at play when writing a poem, the single-sentence constraint will force you into exciting and unexpected rhetorical solutions. For inspiration, read this article on one-sentence poems by poet Camille Dungy.
On February 2, according to popular folklore, a groundhog that emerges from its burrow and sees its shadow signifies six more weeks of winter; if it's cloudy and no shadow is present, spring will arrive early. Other animals, too, are said to exhibit weather-forecasting attributes: sneezing cats, fat rabbits, and howling wolves, for example. Write a poem based on one of these legends, perhaps experimenting with an unexpected point of view, such as having the speaker of the poem be the animal, or an onlooker who is completely unfamiliar with the myth behind it. What textures, sights, and sounds would be unique to the occurrence? Explore the emotional resonances and psychological underpinnings of superstitions and folklore.
Music and Poetry
As forms of creative expression, music and poetry share similarities in the usage of sound and rhythm to generate emotional resonance. Musicians and poets have often expressed their mutual admiration, and even collaborated with each other. Read the poem "Don't You Wonder, Sometimes?," from Tracy K. Smith's collection Life on Mars (Graywolf Press, 2011), with its many references to David Bowie, or watch an animation of Charles Bukowski's "The Laughing Heart" read by Tom Waits. Then write a poem of your own inspired by the mood or themes of a favorite musician or song.
The end of the year is often accompanied by the practice of looking back at the previous twelve months and drawing up "Best of" lists: best moments, best books, best songs. As the new year kicks off, browse through some 2015 lists and jot down words, phrases, and notes about the themes in popular songs and books. Then write a poem that encapsulates the spirit of the music and literature recognized in 2015.
Calendar of Metaphor
Think back over the past year. What does the memory of each month feel like? What is its emotional tone, vibration, form? Write a poem in twelve parts that tries to capture each month's abstract feeling in a single line or stanza. Like Wallace Stevens's "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird," you can repeat the same object or setting throughout the poem, or offer a different context for each section. Challenge yourself to avoid the clichéd images that are often paired with months (i.e. the beach and July, leaves and October), and instead, try to translate the ineffable into the visual. When finished, you'll have a calendar of metaphor.
Lone Human Voice
Nobel laureate Svetlana Alexievich has said, "I love how humans talk...I love the lone human voice. It is my greatest love and passion." Write a series of short poems each written in the voice of a distinct first-person speaker using casual spoken language. You might try loosely connecting the poems by having the voices in dialogue with one another, or by using recurring themes or repeated phrases. Emphasize the uniqueness of each voice with different perspectives, speech tics, slang, and tone.
This week, write a pantoum, a modern verse form adapted from traditional Malaysian folk poetry that uses repeated lines throughout a series of quatrains. How does the repetition of words influence the mood or pacing of your poem? Allow the repeated phrases to take on different meanings as the contexts shift throughout the piece. Refer to the Academy of American Poets website for details and examples of pantoums.
Muggle, Heffalump, Chortle, Chintzy. From Sir Thomas More (utopia) to Robert A. Heinlein (grok) to J. K. Rowling (quidditch), writers throughout history have created new words to describe the invented worlds in their books. Sometimes these neologisms are names of made-up places, feelings, or actions, but sometimes the meaning is more mysterious and ambiguous. Lewis Carroll's nonsense poem "Jabberwocky" appears in the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland as part of a dream. Although it is full of nonsense words, the poem itself follows conventional syntax and structures. Invent your own word and designate it as the name of a newly imagined place or feeling. Write a poem inspired by this new word, combining vivid imagery and specific sounds and rhythms, with familiar elements, to evoke the sensations of a completely new and invented—or inverted—universe.
There is the view that all poetry is a translation of feelings and perceptions that are in some ways fundamentally unsayable. Try translating a poem after you've read a few different translations of the same poem. Several interesting things may happen: you check one version against another; you're on high alert for the "prose meaning" of the original, as well as the tone; you see what the translations at once obscure and reveal of the original piece; even if one translation is just a remote account, it offers a particular construal. After reading, try your own translation of the same poem. If it is not in a language you know, you now have an idea of what is there and to be looked for. You may find that you're creating with a refreshed eye and ear for the true, and any false, notes in the music that is poetry.
This week's poetry prompt comes from Sandra Lim, author of The Wilderness (Norton, 2014). Read Lim's installment of Writers Recommend for more inspiration.
At Dawn
As winter approaches, the days are getting shorter and shorter making it a perfect time to write an aubade, a poem set at dawn. Though its tradition is rooted in love poetry, modern masters like Philip Larkin have used the form to muse on the darker side of sunup. Whether in the tradition of John Donne's "The Sun Rising" or Larkin's "Aubade," write your own version that explores how the early hours spin your imagination.
Vocabulary Bank
In "Mermaids and Matryoshkas: The Secret Life of a Poetic Sequence" by Sandra Beasley in the November/December issue of Poets & Writers Magazine, Matthea Harvey talks about "harvesting words from the dictionary... to create the vocabulary bank for new poems." Grab a dictionary, flip through it, and put your finger down on a random page. Record the word you land on and go to the next page and write down the word that appears at the same spot, repeating until you have accumulated a vocabulary bank to work from. Write a poem by constructing surprising associations, perhaps thinking of familiar words in an unexpected way, or drawing a personal connection to a new term.
Eavesdropping on the World
In Writers Recommend, Camille Rankine shares that her ideas and inspiration come from "eavesdropping on the world." This week, collect phrases from overheard conversations, the radio, TV, or magazine articles. When you have a quiet moment, read over your notes and pick one quote that especially sparks your imaginative impulses. Write a poem that uses the found quote as a first line. Explore your immediate reactions and emotions, and allow those feelings to develop the tone of the lines that follow.
Choice Words
This week, listen to a poem new to you—by a contemporary poet or a bygone poet—and jot down the words, phrases, and images that are most striking or memorable to you. Then write your own poem inspired by this list of words. How do you transform someone else's poetic intuition and choices into a work that demonstrates your personal idiosyncrasies and specific aesthetic sense?
After All Hallows' Eve comes All Saints' Day. The good news: Hagiography is a treasure trove of unique material for poems. Write a poem in the voice of a famous saint who has returned for this day. What would he or she make of the modern world? Would the remnants of present-day Halloween festivities leave the saint perplexed, mystified, even horrified? Challenge yourself to make the common rituals of modern life seem foreign and charged with possible meaning.
Literary Obsessions
In "Selected Poems: Looking Back on a Lifetime of Writing" in the November/December issue of Poets & Writers Magazine, Donald Hall writes, "A grumpy stranger asked me, 'What do you write about anyway?' I blurted out, 'Love, death, and New Hampshire.'" What would you blurt out if you were asked the same question? Write a poem that draws upon your top three thematic obsessions, whether you instinctively reach for these topics each time you start writing, or enjoy revisiting this material in your work. What fresh insights might the juxtaposition of these three subjects in a single poem bring to light?

They say laughter is the best form of medicine, and if that's true, there is an artist who has the perfect prescription!
Tara Gamel is an artist from Arizona who has been creating humorous and thought provoking pieces for years.
At first glance, you may not notice the unique message behind her art, but when you read the titles, they will either make you laugh or make you think! She believes every artist has a voice inside of them that they want the world to hear. Tara believes it takes being vulnerable about who you are to paint whatever is going on inside. She loves it when people connect with her work and are able to relate it to something in their lives. Her work has been compared to the pop art of the 1980's only with a modern twist. Tara has many collectible series of work, each with unique titles and themes. She will be inspired to paint a particular image and most of the time the meaning does not come to her intil it's almost complete. She says she loves working that way because although it's never easy, it's always exciting! Her favorite moments are when she hears back from her viewers and they either have a story that relates to the image and title or they have their own interpretation of the meaning. Here are a few examples of her work. Her work is currently available to purchase directly through her web site.
I love the artwork ! The stories these paintings tell really speaks to my life ! I would love to fill my home with these treasures !! I can relate to all of these situations and the outlook and perspective is so refreshing .
