Predicting the Growth of Your Social Network
The ability to gauge a marketing campaign in action is essential and exists for most traditional channels. The most glaring exception is social media. Organic's Steve Kerho unveils a new way to examine an initial campaign splash to determine whether to expect a tidal wave or just a few ripples in the water.
By Steve Kerho 8 minute Read
The ability to gauge a marketing campaign in action is essential and exists for most traditional channels. The most glaring exception is social media. This inability to gauge or predict how well a social media campaign is performing means marketers can do little more than hope the effort is successful.
At this point, any marketer worth his or her salt has sat through a number of webinars and conferences that all claim to solve the issue of social media measurement. Yet time and time again, the solutions offered are little more than KPIs that tell little about how growth in the social space relates to the true underlying business objectives. Even worse is that current social media metrics–downloads, total comments, friends/fans, etc.–are measured after the fact, when the campaign is finished. This leads to a "fire and hope" approach to campaigns because marketers don't have an early gauge of success or failure.
Standard social KPIs suffer from this measurement dilemma because you can't measure until you know what you have. This leads to a rear view mirror approach to campaign evaluation. While this is an essential book-end for any initiative, it doesn't help marketers to take actions needed to correct the course of a campaign while it's still live. This entirely defeats one of social media's greatest strengths: providing immediate feedback.
What is needed is a metric that enables proactive marketing actions by assessing marketing efforts in real-time so they can be adjusted as needed. At Organic, we have developed this metric so companies can now examine the initial campaign splash and determine whether to expect a tidal wave or just a few ripples in the water.
The Metrics: Velocity and Acceleration
Rather than simply measure the cumulative total of social media metrics, we applied the principles of calculus to examine the rates at which these metrics change. By examining the first and second derivates of cumulative social media metrics we defined two new measures, the velocity and acceleration of social media. These metrics have great predictive power in assessing the final cumulative impact of an event in the social space.
Velocity represents the first derivative of the cumulative social media function. It is the rate at which the social media metrics change. Acceleration represents the second derivative of the cumulative social media function. It is the rate at which the velocities of social media metrics change.
Using these metrics we can understand the impact of specific events on social media. There are three phases to most events in the social space: the baseline, the hot zone, and the fallout.
The "hot zone" is where we see the velocity for the increase in activity quickest; it is the area where our campaign must be most efficient. Additionally, this curve shows us the impact that incremental changes in investment will make against the reach in a lower funnel effort.
In other words, first you have a baseline cumulative social media measure (typical number of Facebook fans and regular amount of people joining) then you have an event (marketing event, PR event, crisis) that makes it change its normal rate (the volume of fans grow for period X then levels off again). Using the initial acceleration of the change lets us determine the final cumulative impact of the event.
The initial shift away from baseline creates a curve that allows a reasonable prediction of future growth. That is to say that the initial acceleration of the event predicts the 'ceiling' of the measure.
How We Validated This
Organic was supplied with anonymous data from a number of Facebook fan pages in order to investigate the rate at which people became 'fans' of the page. Each of these pages had a distinct marketing event that drove traffic to the fan page. This sudden growth in fans was used to forecast the future level of fans on the fan page. Looking at the acceleration in the rate of growth on the day of the marketing event, and the acceleration (or deceleration) in the rate of growth on the day after, let us see the growth curve between them. The 'viral momentum' of the event gave us a ratio that allowed us to predict where the fan count would land weeks after the event.
This information will let marketing managers react quickly if the forecast is short of expectations (i.e. create another marketing event that drives fans to fan pages).
Recently, Organic partnered with Kimberly-Clark (K-C) on the launch of its new U by Kotex brand. The brand marketing site is unique in that social is at the heart of the experience. Two weeks after the site launched in early March the word of U by Kotex was spreading rapidly. By the end of March there were already:
• More than 360,000 visits to the brand site
• More than 230,000 sample requests
• 3,400 tweets on "Kotex"
• More than 4,300 Kotex discussions taking place in the social space with over 13.6 million impressions through various channels
This clearly demonstrated the desire of consumers to learn more about the product and share this information with others in their social media circles.
Tying In Tweets
Using internal K-C data, we have been able link behaviors in the social space, specifically Tweets, with a measurable ROI-based goal–online sample requests–for U by Kotex. The total number of Tweets had a strong relationship with the number of sample requests the company received in the days following. Using the relationship between the acceleration and the baseline level of social media metrics, we are able to project the 'plateau' level of Tweets following any major event in the campaign. We then tied in the relationship between Tweets and sample requests to forecast the cadence of sample requests.
For instance, in week two of the campaign launch an email blast went out to consumers who had previously opted in to Kimberly-Clark communications. This caused an increase in Twitter chatter.
Based on the initial acceleration in Twitter traffic, we expected that event to bring in four times the number of Tweets we saw on the first day. We were also able to create a forecast for the remainder of the month.
As you can see, the results from the following weeks were very much in line with our forecast.
The real value of this projection lies in utilizing these leading indicator properties of Tweets on sample requests. We utilized this relationship to project an expected number of sample requests due to the ripple effect of the email blast. Based on the initial acceleration in Twitter traffic, we expect that event to bring in four times the number of sample requests seen on the first day. The results of the next week showed K-C to be almost two thirds of the way to our expected sample plateau. Once again our projections were tracking well.
Moving forward, with every event that K-C has planned for U by Kotex–from Chelsea Lately to Khloe Kardashian in Times Square–we have been able to provide measures from the social space on the impact of the event and relate that to ROI-based activity goals.
Positive or Negative Sentiment
While acceleration gives us a leading indicator to the size social metrics, it doesn't tell us whether or not it is a good thing. If sentiment is overwhelming positive (e.g. Dove's Real Beauty campaign) or overwhelmingly negative (e.g. a safety recall) then the acceleration alone will tell you the size of your success or the size of your fallout. In cases where feelings are mixed, combining acceleration with measures of social media sentiment allows marketers to predict the size of the positive and negative trends separately.
The combination of acceleration and sentiment goes beyond what either brings on its own. With sentiment alone we lose the understanding of the baseline level of social chatter. By accounting for the building levels of chatter, the combination of acceleration with sentiment delivers clear expectations of the size of positive and negative groups and helps marketers decide what level of pressure they need to exert in order to gain their desired outcome.
With velocity and acceleration, Organic has developed one of the first predictive metrics for social media. It can tell marketers whether they will hit the event goal. This allows companies to react and adjust their marketing efforts in real-time to better achieve their objectives. Also, the uses of velocity and acceleration are not limited to company-initiated efforts. They can help monitor the online conversation for complaints, highlighting which issues are big and which aren't.
The true value of these metrics lies in their simplicity. By capturing the velocity and acceleration of social media, marketers can understand the scope of their impact on the social space. These measurements capture the initial size of a social spike and then simply predict the total social impact. It is likely that marketers already have the data on hand and the computations are straightforward, so there's no reason not to get started today. The predictive value derived will have marketers looking at all their existing social metrics in a new light.
Calculus is the mathematics of change and one of the biggest changes in marketing has been the advent of social media. And isn't it beautiful that a modern phenomenon like social media can be made a more powerful marketing tool through the application of some of the most powerful math created more than 300 years ago that was originally used to explain the motions of planets. So raise a glass to Sir Isaac Newton and gives a "thumbs up" like to his Facebook page–yes, he has one and perhaps after this article we will estimate the growth in his fan club.

Everything you need to know about the new male birth control pill
By SBG-TV 1527871881000

Men: would you try taking a birth control pill?
Options for female birth control are plenty: women can choose from the pill, an IUD, the patch, a ring, the shotthe list goes on.
But, where's the vast selection of birth control for men?
Doctors have been working on a male contraceptive for decades, especially since research shows men aren't extremely receptive toward current male birth control, like condoms and vasectomies. And a new study published in the journal PLOS ONE shows this contraceptive could be coming sooner rather than later.
The male birth control pill has a compound called EP055, which binds to sperm proteins and significantly slows them down, meaning they no longer have a chance at fertilizing an egg. And while the hormones in the female birth control pill have been known to cause negative side effects, EP055 does not affect hormones at all—making it a "male pill" with zero side effects.
The researchers in this study injected male macaques monkeys with different doses of EP055 and watched the sperm count drop. But the best part? It's not permanent.
"At 18 days post-infusion, all macaques showed signs of complete recovery, suggesting that the EP055 compound is indeed reversible," said study co-investigator Mary Zelinski, Ph.D., research associate professor at the ONPRC at OHSU and associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology in the OHSU School of Medicine in a statement.
While the "male pill" is certainly the most promising male birth control in the horizon, other options, like a daily gel and nonsurgical vasectomy, are also being studied.
According to Vox, the gel is more than a decade in the making and is the furthest along in clinical trials. Nestrone-Testosterone contains testosterone and progestin, which works to suppress sperm levels to 1 million per milliliter or less, which is the amount needed to prevent pregnancy.
The nonsurgical vasectomy, known as reversible inhibition of sperm under guidance, or RISUG, according to Bloomberg, depends on a gel that a doctor injects into the sperm-carrying tubes in the scrotum to block sperm. The gel can later be broken down with a second shot, making the procedure reversible.
A survey showed that about 83 percent of men and women believe birth control is the responsibility of both partners. And soon enough, in one form or another, it will be.

Watch Metallica dedicate 'Orion' performance to late bassist Cliff Burton
Samantha Maine Feb 14, 2018 7:52 pm GMT
Burton passed away in 1986.
Metallica have dedicated a performance of 'Orion' to their late bassist Cliff Burton.
Buy Metallica merch here
Burton passed away in 1986 at the age of 24 after he was involved in a tour bus crash. He played with Metallica from 1982 up until his death.
February 10th would have marked Burton's 58th birthday and Alameda County, California recently declared February 10th as Cliff Burton Day.
Metallica honoured their friend on that same date, dedicating their performance of 'Orion' at the Pala Alpitour in Turin, Italy to him. Burton co-wrote the song himself, with the track originally appearing on 'Master of Puppets'. You can watch it below.
Meanwhile, Metallica guitarist James Hetfield will make his big-screen dramatic film debut with a part in the upcoming Ted Bundy biopic.
Hetfield will play the role of "no-nonsense" Utah highway patrol Officer Bob Hayward in Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, as Deadline reports.
Hayward was the first officer to arrest the serial killer – who will be played in the movie by Zac Efron – in 1975 after he pulled Bundy over on a highway.
Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile is being directed by Joe Berlinger, who also co-produced and directed the Metallica documentary Metallica: Some Kind of Monster.
"Having spent hundreds of hours behind the scenes with James and the rest of Metallica, I have experienced his charisma and powerful presence close up," Berlinger said in a statement. "It seemed only natural that he would bring that same power and magnetism to a dramatic role, so when he agreed to my pitch that he be in the movie, I was thrilled."
Hetfield joins a cast which also includes Efron, Lily Collins, John Malkovich, Jim Parsons, Haley Joel Osment, Kaya Scodelario, Angela Sarafyan, Jeffrey Donovan Terry Kinney and Dylan Baker.

The State Target went smoothly. When you have a great team that works together, things just seem to be easier. The weather turned out great, not too hot. There is still a lot of time this year to get out, and go to a tournament.
Not just Oranco, other ranges also benefit from us shooters. When we support other Clubs, we preserve the future of our sport and build lasting friendships with Members of other Clubs.
Happy Halloween my fellow archers, this year has flown by. Before we know it, Thanksgiving and then on to the Christmas season. Make sure some of you attend the upcoming work party set for Saturday, October 7th for the Tomahawk shoot (All you can eat lunch) compliments of Oranco Bowmen. We can sure use your help to clean up the range for the Tomahawk Shoot to be held on Sunday, October 8th.
I have noticed a large number of tumbleweeds throughout our site, so hopefully the mowing guys can get some of those cleaned up and knocked down. We are currently going to get the trees trimmed or taken out completely at the practice butts. Around this time of year, the range will transition from dried up grass to new growth after our first noticeable rain storm of the season, which usually hits in the next couple of months. The new growth adds to the ground cover that exists now.
The Club is now completing another cook shack renovation in the sniper area located just to the northwest of the Club House, we would like to thank Jason Duysings for this remodel, along with other Oranco Members, and Board Members that have contributed to getting this project off the ground.
Joe mentioned that the work on Target # 15 has been completed.
Todd Dancer will be working on adding sharpened points to all of the Animal Stakes, Thank You, Todd!
It was mentioned that the Board Members that open the Range on Sunday need to be prepared with the proper change for our Public Shooters.
There was a suggestion made to create a sign stating "No Credit Cards, No Checks, Cash Only".
Chriss mentioned that the State 900 is becoming a more popular shoot with each passing year. He mentioned that with the help of Tony, Pete, and David the shoot went smooth.
Chriss mentioned that there were some Target Reassignments made recently and that he is prepared to make more in the future if necessary.
There will be another Work Party scheduled on October 7th, 2017 in order to install some of the new Carpet Bales. We will also need some help with target gluing. Be prepared to sign up if you want to save some money on next year's dues..
Chriss has already received some requests for the old Carpet Bales.
There was a discussion in regards to the effectiveness and usefulness of thin vs. thick bales.
There was a discussion in regards to the advancement in bow and arrow technology resulting in faster arrows penetrating too far into a target vs. the manual exertion of trying to pull the same arrows from a backstop or target and the resulting wear and tear on the above mentioned target.
The State Field 900 resulted in approximately 110 shooters this year.
Bill mentioned this is the time of year to be extremely aware of the Fire Hazard due to the current dryness. He also mentioned to be aware of Rattlesnakes. He suggested that we should have an article in regards to snake bite first aid. See the included article in this Newsletter.
Chriss mentioned that there have been several Mountain Lion sightings early mornings, especially near watering holes.
Membership Chair stated we should be at approximately 371 Members.
The Wi-Fi issue for the Membership Chair is no longer an issue as she has moved to an area with better Wi-Fi capabilities.
Membership Chair is creating a new Membership Application and will forward it to the Board once it has been completed.
Joe has laid out the plans for the Sniper cook shack. The tear down of the old cook shack has been completed. Bill Waltz has performed some of the preliminary grading. Finish grading will occur shortly. The goal is to have this one done by the Tomahawk Shoot in October.
Cook Shack Workers Needed : Positions are still available for volunteers to help out during the upcoming shoots. Tony Tobin will no longer be accepting calls for cook shack volunteers. In the future, please contact Terry Lopez in order to reserve your spot at: (562) 900 - 4487. First Come, First Serve.
VIDEO: EHD Outbreak Hits Whitetail Deer, Here's What You Need to Know!
Epizootic Hemorrhagic disease (EHD) has been reported in multiple Southeastern and Midwestern states, and we're seeing significant deer kills because of it.
Impacts of EHD can be quite significant; however, high mortality rates are typically localized. Be aware, but don't panic. The good news is that the first frost kills the biological vectors the disease and it will no longer spread at that point.

Australian oil and gas company has said it has successfully drilled the Corvus-2 appraisal well confirming "a significant gas resource" in the Carnarvon Basin, offshore Western Australia.
The well, located in petroleum permit WA-45-R, in which Santos has a 100 percent interest, is approximately 90 kilometers northwest of Dampier.
The Corvus-2 well intersected a gross interval of 638 meters, one of the largest columns ever discovered across the North West Shelf, Santos said. The well reached a total depth of 3,998 meters.
Wireline logging to date has confirmed 245 meters of net hydrocarbon pay across the target reservoirs in the North Rankin and Mungaroo formations, between 3,360 and 3,998 meters.
Higher permeability zones than encountered in Corvus-1 have been observed from initial pressure sampling completed in the well. Compared to Corvus-1, initial samples acquired from Corvus-2 indicate a significantly higher Condensate Gas Ratio of up to 10 bbl/mmscf and a similar CO2 content of 7 percent, Santos added.
Corvus-2 is approximately three kilometers southwest of Corvus-1, which was drilled in 2000. The water depth at the location is 63 meters. The field is approximately 28 kilometers from the Reindeer platform, which delivers gas to the Devil Creek domestic gas plant near Karratha, and about 62 kilometers to a Varanus Island tie-in point. Santos has a 100 percent interest in all these facilities.
The well was drilled using the jack-up drilling rig, Noble Tom Prosser, and will be plugged and abandoned as planned once logging operations are completed.
"It's a great start to our 2019 offshore drilling campaign, and it also highlights the value of the Quadrant acquisition and our strategy of pursuing upstream brownfield growth opportunities around existing infrastructure. The rig will now move north to commence the Dorado appraisal program," Gallagher said.
Commenting on Santos' announcement on Tuesday, Wood Mackenzie senior analyst Daniel Toleman said: "Based on limited information, our initial estimate is a 2.5 tcf gas and 25 mmbbl condensate resource. This will be the largest gas discovery in the Carnarvon basin since the Satyr-4 exploration well drilled by Chevron in 2009.
"Santos' stated 254m net pay is indicative of a very large gas resource in place, but recoverable volumes will be dependant on the size of the structure, area extent and sand thickness.
"Santos suggested that Corvus will supply the domestic market. The field is near to Santos' Reindeer development and if the resource comes in over 2 tcf, we believe Santos will explore opportunities to export the gas as LNG. This is due to Corvus' proximity to the Burrup Peninsula, and a well-supplied domestic market in the short-to-medium term.
"The North West Shelf has LNG production capacity available from 2021. The Corvus discovery could fill this ullage. If an LNG backfill development is to progress, we expect Santos will look to sell down, as it currently holds 100% in the find. One of the North West Shelf partners would be a logical entrant.
Posted on April 16, 2019 with tags corvus, Santos.
Babcock Australasia's Offshore Aviation division has been awarded a five-year contract with Santos in Australia.
Australian regulators have approved Santos' proposed acquisition of its compatriot oil company Quadrant Energy.
Corvus Energy has decided to expand its battery production capacities both in Canada and Norway.


McDonald's is a symbol in America. A symbol for family. A symbol for fun. Hell, a symbol even for food at times. Red paint. Gold arches. The place to get a Happy Meal.
A McDonald's local to my home town ran into some trouble awhile back when they painted their outside pink. Yeah, I know, why in the fink would they paint it pink, but that's really not the point. Let me explain what happened.
They painted it pink, and it's next to the highway. And this driver, this moron, this guy who couldn't find anything shiny at the moment, saw the pink Mickey D's and got himself distracted. And he hit a car. And that car hit another car. And pretty soon several people were pissed.
And he said NO! Don't hurt me, it wasn't my fault! It's that damn McDonald's! Look at it, it's finkin pink!
So he sued the food joint and settled out of court, and not only did the pink go bye bye, but the grease pit got closed down too. At least until it turned into a chameleon and blushed to a more livable shade of red.
Now let me explain how en masse this is. First you've got the guy who thought it'd be nifty to slap pink paint on a McDonald's. We'll call him Oaf #1.
Then you've got Mr. Shiny, who's obviously Oaf #2.
Then there's the morons who reacted in such a way to the pink arches excuse that Oaf #2 thought he could take the matter to court. I'm not sure how many morons there were, but we'll settle for Oaf #3 and Oaf #4.
Throw in the lawyer twisted enough to take the case, he'll be Oaf #5.
And finally the judge who didn't throw it out, and not only that but signed a settlement agreement. He's totally Oaf #6.
So put the six sickos together, and this definitely qualifies as stupidity en masse.


Spermatogonial stem cells, which exist in the testicles since birth, are progenitors cells of male gametes. These cells are critical for the process of spermatogenesis, and not able to produce mature sperm cells before puberty due to their dependency of hormonal stimuli. This characteristic of the reproductive system limits the preservation of fertility only to males who are able to produce an ejaculate. This fact puts some light on the increase in survival rates of childhood cancer over the past decades because of improvements in the diagnosis and effective treatment in pediatric cancer patients. Therefore, we highlight one of the most important challenges concerning male fertility preservation that is the toxic effect of cancer therapy on reproductive function, especially the spermatogenesis. Currently, the experimental alternative for fertility preservation of prepubertal boys is the testicular tissue cryopreservationfor, for future isolation and spermatogonial stem cells transplantation, in order to restore the spermatogenesis. We present a brief review on isolation, characterization and culture conditions for the in vitro proliferation of spermatogonial stem cells, as well as the future perspectives as an alternative for fertility preservation in prepubertal boys. The possibility of restoring male fertility constitutes a research tool with an huge potential in basic and applied science. The development of these techniques may be a hope for the future of fertility preservation in cases that no other options exist, e.g, pediatric cancer patients.

Ivo Robić (* 28. Januar 1923 in Garešnica bei Kutina, Königreich Jugoslawien, heute Kroatien; † 9. März 2000 in Rijeka) war ein jugoslawischer und kroatischer Schlagersänger.

Musikalische Laufbahn
Robić begann seine Musikerlaufbahn mit einem Studium am Zagreber Konservatorium mit dem Ziel, Musiklehrer zu werden. Während des Studiums lernte er Klavier, Saxophon, Klarinette, Flöte und Bassgeige zu spielen. Neben seinem Studium betätigte er sich als Sänger beim Tanzorchester von Radio Zagreb. Dabei wurde er von der jugoslawischen Plattenfirma Jugoton entdeckt, die 1948 mit Robić eine erste Schallplatte produzierte. Bis 1977 erschienen bei Jugoton von Ivo Robić etwa 100 Schallplatten, die ihn zu einem der erfolgreichsten jugoslawischen Plattenstars machten. Ab 1977 nahm er Schallplatten für die tschechoslowakische Plattenfirma Supraphon auf. Zu Beginn der 1950er Jahre begann Robić im Ausland aufzutreten, so in der Tschechoslowakei, in Österreich und in der DDR.

Seinen ersten Auftritt in der Bundesrepublik hatte Robić 1955 in Hof (Saale). Es dauerte aber noch bis 1958, ehe es hier zu einem Plattenvertrag kam. Die Initiative ging von Robićs Frau aus, die Demobänder an verschiedene deutsche Plattenfirmen geschickt hatte. Als einzige zeigte Polydor Interesse und lud Robić zu Probeaufnahmen ein. Nachdem zwei im Januar 1959 aufgenommene Coverversionen mit Titeln von den Chessmen und Ray Peterson verworfen wurden, wurde im Mai 1959 die erste Robić-Single mit den Titeln Morgen und Ay, ayay Paloma auf den Markt gebracht. Produzent war Bert Kämpfert, der Robić in den Folgejahren betreute. Den Titel Morgen hatte Peter Moesser komponiert, er arbeitete einige Zeit mit Robić zusammen. Morgen wurde zu einem Welterfolg und verkaufte sich alleine in Deutschland über eine Million Mal, wofür Robić eine Platin-Schallplatte von seinem Musiklabel überreicht bekam. Zwar erreichte er in Deutschland nur Platz zwei in der Notierung des Fachblattes Musikmarkt, erhielt aber von Radio Luxemburg den Bronzenen Löwen. Auch das amerikanische Musik-Magazin Billboard nahm den deutschen Originaltitel, der vom Laurie-Label veröffentlicht worden war, in seine Hot 100 auf. Morgen behauptete sich dort 14 Wochen lang und stieg bis Platz 13 auf. Polydor brachte den Titel in Großbritannien auf den Markt, wo er Platz 23 in den Hitlisten erreichte. Mit der zweiten Platte mit Ivo Robić verfuhr Polydor von Anfang an zweigleisig. Der deutsche Titel Muli-Song wurde zeitgleich in Deutschland und den USA veröffentlicht, in den Staaten jedoch in der englischsprachigen Version The Happy Muleteer. Auch diese Version kam wieder in die Hot 100 von Billboard, war dort fünf Wochen notiert und stieg bis zum 58. Platz auf. Damit schaffte es Robić in das US-Entertainment, so wurde er unter anderem in die Perry Como Show, die Ed Sullivan Show und die Dick Clark Show eingeladen.

Während es der Muli-Song In Deutschland bis zum siebten Platz schaffte, erzielte Robić 1961 mit der Coverversion des US-Titels Save the Last Dance for Me von den Drifters einen Nummer-Eins-Erfolg. Die deutsche Version Mit 17 fängt das Leben erst an wurde vom Musikmarkt 32 Wochen lang notiert und lag im März 1961 bei zwei Wochenauswertungen auf dem ersten Platz. Radio Luxemburg verlieh ihm diesmal den Silbernen Löwen. Danach hatte Ivo Robić den Höhepunkt seiner Karriere in Deutschland erreicht. Nur noch mit dem 1962 veröffentlichten Titel Ein ganzes Leben lang, eine Coverversion des Ray-Charles-Erfolges I Can't Stop Loving You, kam er noch einmal in die Top-10 (Platz 8). Danach notierte ihn der Musikmarkt bis 1967 dreimal lediglich auf hinteren Rängen. 1968 zog sich Bert Kämpfert als Produzent zurück, um sich stärker seiner eigenen Karriere zu widmen, und Robić Aufnahmen wurde von Kai Warner betreut. Nachdem Robić 1971 noch einmal mit dem Titel Ich zeig' dir den Sonnenschein vom Musikmarkt notiert wurde (45.), löste Polydor 1973 den Plattenvertrag auf. Robić ließ sich endgültig in Kroatien nieder, wo er mit seiner Frau Marta ein Haus in dem kleinen Fischerdorf Ičići an der kroatischen Riviera besaß. Bei Jugoton veröffentlichte er weiterhin Platten für den jugoslawischen Markt. Die letzten Jahre bis zu seinem Tod war er Ehrenvorsitzender der Kroatischen Musikerunion. Er starb im Jahre 2000 an den Folgen einer Gallenoperation 77-jährig in einem Krankenhaus in Rijeka. Seine letzte Ruhestätte fand er auf dem Zagreber Mirogoj-Friedhof.

Two weeks drifting around Spain - you'll be speaking Español before you know it! Our Spanish Spree holiday gets you under the covers of this cultured country, exploring everywhere from San Sebastian to Seville, with a side trip to Ibiza in between. Cultured days and raging nights are ripe for the picking.
We start the morning with free time to explore. You can fill yours by opting for a guided tour of the Muslim quarter of Albaicin & the Capilla Real, and while you're at it, fill up on some of Granada's incredible food, like its famous Arab pastries. This afternoon we head to Spain's number 1 visited attraction, the Alhambra Palace. We'll discover the breathtaking beauty and history of this Moorish Palace, with its intricate patterns and detailed architecture that will leave you spellbound, and wondering why you haven't been here sooner. To top it off, Alhambra offers the best views of the city.
Bouncing out of bed should be no problem this morning, given the day of exploration we have laying ahead. Seville, we're coming in hot!With an English rock (aptly named the Rock of Gibraltar), this English colony can be explored on an optional tour of the rock with our guide, where you'll see the far reaching landscapes, as well as get up close to the cheekier residents, monkeys or Barbary Apes if you're wanting to keep it official! Just try and make sure they don't steal your hat. Visit St. Michael's Caves, and the 'Den' but the views are the jewel in the crown. Utter bliss.13th century architecture and one of the world's biggest cathedrals wait for us in the passionate arms of south Spain's Seville. Stroll the city's river and preserve some energy for tomorrow's day of exploring local haunts and enjoying the balmy weather of this region.
In no hurry to leave Seville, we'll lap up a morning of sightseeing, including the flamboyant Plaza d'Espana and the UNESCO World Heritage site of the Alcazar. You'll also have time to do your own thing, perhaps visit Christopher Columbus' tomb, check out one of the oldest bullrings in Spain, or find some gems at El Jueves street market.Through the heart of rural Andalusia our journey continues, finally placing us in the old-world feels of Cordoba. Flowers overflow from storybook balconies & charming little lanes will take your breath away. Free time to fall head over heels with this place and a trip to the Mezquita (Mosque of the Caliphs) will perfect your day, as would a relaxing bath house experience to soothe your travelling bones.
Our last full day on tour. But save the sadness for tomorrow, as today we take the scenic journey back to Madrid for one final evening of fun.Mosques, churches and medieval buildings sit atop the hill town of Toledo. We'll uncover the city's gothic cathedral, the famous Renaissance sculptor, painter and architect El Greco's house and the site of sieges, revolutions and treason. Just another pit-stop in our life in the glorious Spain.Here we are, back where the party started 13 life-changing days ago. A traditional dinner of the city's specialities is up for grabs this evening, an unmissable final salute to the culture filled extravaganza that has been our journey.
We started just two short weeks ago, and now we're flooded with new memories & friends, it feels like a lifetime has past.


A CP Rail train derailed between Revelstoke and Golden between Thursday night and Friday morning.
CP Rail spokesperson Jeremy Berry said the incident took place near midnight mountain time on Nov. 10 around 40 kilometres west of Golden.
Initial reports say that 10 cars of a potash train were involved in the derailment.
"There were no injuries, no dangerous goods involved and no threat to public safety," said Berry.
He said that CP Rail activated its emergency response protocols and mobilized teams to the site.
"We take this incident extremely seriously, and will be focused on safety as we continue to deal with this incident," he said.
The Transport Board of Canada has not yet responded to a request for comment.
Berry said the investigation is ongoing.

The company, a major financial services firm that already has 200 workers downtown, will spend at least $8.5 million to complete and furnish a 54,000-square-foot client service center in the Farinon Business Park on the Northwest Side. San Antonio was competing against Atlanta and Jacksonville, Florida, for the offices, said Rene Dominguez, director of the city's Economic Development Department.
City Council is slated to vote next week on an incentive package that will include a six-year, 100 percent tax abatement worth about $243,000 in return for creating the 600 jobs, Dominguez said. The package will also include a grant capped at $309,000 over five years awarding $1,000 to the company for every job the company creates that pays over $50,000 a year, he said.
The average salary for jobs created by Ernst & Young is expected to be $55,000 a year, Dominguez said. The employees would provide "high-level technical and operational support" for the company's financial services office, he said.
"It's a great opportunity for our young people," he said. "With it being located by UTSA, and the number of college grads we have, it's a great opportunity."
Bexar County commissioners also are expected to vote on an incentive package in two weeks. The incentives would include a six-year, 100 percent property tax abatement worth about $149,558, as well as a grant of up to $100,000 based on the company creating 100 new jobs paying at least $50,000 a year, according to Bexar County Precinct 3 Commissioner Kevin Wolff.
The state has approved a Texas Enterprise Fund grant worth about $2.6 million in connection with the new jobs, according to a news release sent by Governor Greg Abbott's office on Wednesday afternoon.
The city and county's incentive programs have come under scrutiny after City Council and Commissioners Court approved more than $8 million in incentives from Credit Human, a local credit union, to move its headquarters from the North Side to The Pearl and hire another 50 workers.
While voting for the incentives, Kevin Wolff and District 6 City Councilman Greg Brockhouse questioned whether the city and county should still offer such large amounts, especially for companies to locate in thriving areas such as The Pearl.
"I'm usually not a big supporter of incenting things in areas that are growing fast, and my precinct's one of those," said Wolff, whose precinct would include the new office. "But for the community as a whole I think it's a good thing. I think it's certainly the types of jobs we want to attract."
The city and county have both been talking with Ernst & Young since spring about the new office, representatives said.
Ernst & Young plans to hire financial and information-technology professionals who will be supporting its advisory business in delivering financial services to clients that include major banks, insurance companies and wealth-management firms, said Randy Cain, the firm's vice chair and managing partner in its Southwest region.
The work Ernst & Young does for clients includes providing risk management, advising on regulatory issues and improving their businesses processes.
Most of the hires the company plans to make will be college graduates, but not all, Cain said. It expects 125 workers will be hired by 2019, but it's committed to getting to 600 workers within five years.
"The advisory business for the financial service sector has grown dramatically," he added in explaining the reason for the firm's expansion.
Ernst & Young recently opened its first client service center in Jacksonville. That center employs about 450 people.
"Securing another EY office in San Antonio is yet another affirmation of San Antonio's growing potential to attract and have world-class companies experience positive growth in our city," Mayor Ron Nirenberg said in the statement.

NeocoreGames' Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr is getting some significant changes when its 2.0 update arrives on PC at the end of May. The developer provided some more details on what those changes are.
New opportunities have arisen to find and punish heretics. This season of Inquisitor – Martyr brings in the Warhammer God of War himself.
The Season One update for Warhammer 40K: Inquisitor is now available on PS4 and Xbox One. Inquisitors on console can join their PC brethren in taking on the Drukhari.
Warhammer 40k: Inquisitor has received its Season One update. Inquisitors can now face off against a new enemy faction and take their investigations to a new subsector.
Warhammer 40k: Inquisitor was planned for launch on console today, but that release has been pushed back. In more positive news, however, PC players can now try out a new end-game mode.
Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor Martyr is available now on PC and coming to console next month, so we decided to give it a spin to see if it's worth picking up. Read our thoughts on this open world action RPG.
The Inquisitor is now investigating the Caligari sector on PC. NeocoreGames released a new CG trailer to mark the occasion.
After being delayed a short while ago, Warhammer 40k: Inquisitor's console version has a new date. There is also another Warhammer action RPG in the works, this one set in the fantasy universe.
Warhammer 40k's Inquisitor has once again been waylaid. The latest delay only affects console players, with the PC version still on track for June.
Delaying a game can be misconstrued as heresy in the eyes of the Imperium but in this case the Emperor has decided to be lenient. It helps that it isn't a significant delay.
Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr finally has a release date. The new action RPG from the Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing developer is just a couple of months away.
A new update for the Early Access version of Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitior – Martyr includes its first story chapter. This provides an opportunity for developer NeocoreGames to release a trailer introducing the campaign.
