A San Francisco Bar Meant to Last 10,000 Years
Welcome to "About a Bar," a column that explores America's newest and most notable bars and cocktail programs. Today, San Francisco's most cerebral cocktail bar, The Interval.

Stepping into The Interval can feel akin to time travel. Whether the journey is backward or forward, however, remains to be seen.
The bar is housed in San Francisco's Fort Mason, a wind-swept former military campus with numerous event spaces, an excellent vegetarian restaurant, panoramic views of the Bay and a decided lack of a cocktail scene. The nascent Interval is changing that, and as the brainchild of the Long Now Foundation—a nonprofit dedicated to long-term thinking—it's doing it more thoughtfully than the average bar. The Interval acts as a "museum" for many of the Long Now's working projects (including prototypes and designs of their 10,000 year clock), and a modern day salon meant to evoke conversation.
The idea of time span is present in all the space's design details, which toe a line of tension between permanent and ephemeral. Multi-floor bookcases line the walls housing thousands of tomes that are organized in a Manual for Civilization—or those books deemed necessary to society, as we know it. A communal table is built on an intricate network of gears that evoke clockwork. Suspended from a series of rafter rows are custom-made, orb-shaped bottles filled with bespoke whiskies and gins made by Alameda distillery St. George Spirits, which foundation patrons can purchase and—as in traditional barkeep service—have them brought down to enjoy at any time. A pair of robots, one dedicated to writing on The Interval's chalkboard, the other outfitted with 15 distillates that spits out custom gin blends, are forthcoming.
But The Interval isn't just the sidecar to a cabinet of curiosities. It's a serious cocktail bar, and one whose drinks reflect the stretch of time with its own mind-bending set of intentions that are meant to inspire thought and conversation about not only our collective drinking culture and history, but also the stories behind certain drinks, or—at the very least—the drink in hand.
Unlike other bars in San Francisco or across the country chasing the idea of what comes next in the immediate sense, The Interval is pursuing something more permanent amidst the ephemeral act of consuming a cocktail after work, which is why classic drinks take precedence. And because drinking here is conceptualized as a wheel in whole landscape of clockwork, it's allowed the freedom to evolve naturally over the course of time.
The menu, created by bartender Jennifer Colliau, is printed in a custom-designed handwritten font (though Colliau was inclined to handwrite the whole thing herself), and is divided into six sections—Welcome, Drinking Around the World, Martini Menu, The Daiquiris of Floridita, Brooklyn Variations and Temperate & Teetotaling—each of which is full of anecdotal annotations, stories and mini-histories that are evocative rather than authoritarian. Drinkers are provided with enough lore that each cocktail feels rooted within its own narrative journey.
The idea of time—whether on a continuum or in nod to a specific moment—is present at each turn of the menu. The Daiquiris of Floridita represent a timestamp in history—specifically during Prohibition—when wealthy Americans would abscond to Bar La Florida in Cuba and drink the then brand-new cocktail called the Daiquiri. The Martini Menu, in contrast, presents a chronological timeline—from the 18th-century J.P.A Martini, the first-recorded iteration to the Martinez to a modern riff on the Dirty Martini by New York bartender Naren Young.
Unlike other bars in San Francisco or across the country chasing the idea of what comes next in the immediate sense, The Interval is pursuing something more permanent amidst the ephemeral act of consuming a cocktail after work, which is why classic drinks take precedence. And because drinking here is conceptualized as a wheel in whole landscape of clockwork, it's allowed the freedom to evolve naturally over the course of time. For inspiration, Colliau has been building a collection of drink "families" on her living room wall, each of which is centered on a theme, style or story. They'll, no doubt, appear in future menu iterations.
"The menu is very personal," says Colliau a nine-year veteran of the Slanted Door Group, and the creator of Small Hands Foods, a much-lauded source for cocktail gums and syrups. Small Hand Foods is based on the premise of reproducing recipes from another era for a modern palate—things like pineapple gum, orgeat and grenadine—so it makes sense that a woman obsessed with creating a history-steeped bartending arsenal would build a menu focused on the evolution and perfection of time-tested drinks, rather than concoct a stage for ten-ingredient stunt cocktails.
"The whole idea of this bar gives me license to tell all of these stories," Colliau says. And, of course, those stories will change over time.

Mini Challenge #217 - Backlight.
Give us 1-3 of your best photos where backlights adds to the mood and the quality of the photo.
I'm looking for great photos and great mood. I have some examples posted under the guidelines.
The competition will close 10pm Monday 30th November GMT.
Ok, I'll bite... I'm always trying for good backlight shot.
I love the idea and also the pears and the fern. Ferns are really good for that because that way you can see the spores.

 Ok, I'll bite... I'm always trying for good backlight shot.
Thanks, that's one of my personal faves of the last few years.
Birds watching birdwatcher on Tybee Island, GA.
2 frames stitched (only way I could get all of what I wanted in frame with a 500mm) - so, if comps not allowed, I'll change it.
Here are my three, although they pale in comparison to what's been posted so far!
Shenandoah Valley, Ca grapevines in Fall.
I am not sure that these three photos will be what you want. The first one I took with the first roll of film in my new 35 mm camera in 1958. So I have obviously been trying this subject for a very long time. It isn't such a good photo, but someone did post on Facebook that no one could possibly have any good photos until they had shot some large number of pictures, and I don't think that is necessarily true, although one should improve with practice.
They are the tulips my son sent me for my birthday - I was 78 this month.
Sunset over pond, Lightroom tone curve work.
Some of my personal favorites are unfortunately NSFW.
Sony A900 with 1.4 85mm prime; A77, and couple other cameras floating around that see less usage. Lightroom, usually the latest version.

 Ok, I'll bite... I'm always trying for good backlight shot.
Very glad you both like the shot, thanks!!!
And we're closed for submissions. Thanks everyone for submitting some really awesome photo's!
Is there going to be another challenge or is the voting going to be by jag??
I'll announce a winner this weekend.

Local home care staff facing shortages, told to reuse disposable gowns

Health-care workers in long-term care facilities and retirement homes are sounding the alarm on the lack of personal protective equipment available to help keep themselves and residents safe from COVID-19.
Tullio DiPonti, president of Unifor Local 2458, which represents almost 2,500 health-care workers in Windsor and Essex County and 4,000 from Windsor to Tobermory, said Tuesday he is receiving daily calls from concerned members dealing with PPE shortages.
Local home care staff facing shortages, told to reuse disposable gowns Back to video
Unifor is pushing to make sure workers get "all the equipment that the (Doug) Ford government announced," DiPonti said.
"Now unless there is an outbreak, they're not expected to wear the gowns and face shields and all that stuff," he said. "Once a home gets an outbreak, then they have to wear (it) all."
DiPonti said he has facility administrators asking "if we have a line for some of this equipment because they're afraid of what's going to happen" if there is an outbreak.
"They don't want to end up being in the position where all of a sudden they're using garbage bags over their gowns … so they can preserve them."
Local 2458 vice-president Mike Kisch said Sunrise of Windsor, a seniors assisted-living facility, began asking its employees to re-use disposable gowns over the weekend after a number of resident were tested for COVID-19 and some results were pending.
That made it necessary for the facility to treat it as if those case were positive and follow the prescribed protocol for wearing PPE.
"It was a lack of supply coupled with making sure that they have enough PPE in the event that there is an outbreak," Kisch said. "They were having our members re-use these gowns and having them basically spray them off with some sort of a disinfectant."
He said he's been working with administrators to find alternative solutions.
"The public health unit came back and said everything is negative," he said. "Big sigh of relief. However, we have to make sure that our members are protected, that our members have the proper equipment and can do their jobs.
"They dodged a bullet. We're thankful that the residents are OK. We're thankful that our members are OK."
In a statement Tuesday, Sunrise Senior Living said the company has "implemented extensive precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and to protect the health and safety of our team members who are on the front line keeping our residents safe.
"We have sufficient PPE supplies at this time, " the company said. "Sunrise has modified community operations to limit any non-essential visitors, employed rigorous screening protocols to identify potential symptoms among residents and team members, restricted new resident move-ins, and shifted to individual resident engagement activities."
DiPonti said he's keeping pressure on the facilities and the government to provide the necessary equipment.
"We're going to challenge them every which way," he said. "We want to make sure that our members get the equipment. People are worried about it."

The combination of semantics (the science of meaning in language) with search engines that process billions of queries seems a very natural one.
Semantic search has been effective, too; by understanding the intent of a query and the context of the user, the accuracy of results on search engines like Google and Bing has increased significantly.
Search engine results pages today look markedly different to their earlier iterations and, with improvements in local search, voice recognition, and machine learning, they will continue to change over the next few years too.
There is a lot of fascinating theory behind all of this, but we can sometimes focus on this to the detriment of our work today.
Significant algorithm updates like Hummingbird, or the more recent launch of RankBrain, have a big impact on users. As marketers, we need to know exactly what this means for our strategy, our expectations, and our campaign measurement.
As such, this article will focus on some real-world examples of semantic search and provide a practical framework to help marketers avail of the opportunities it brings.
When Google processes this query, it recognizes instantaneously that I am searching for the actor and all-round entertainer Will Smith, but also that the intent of my search is unclear. Therefore, it serves a varied array of options for me to click on. I may want to read news about the Fresh Prince, I may want to see his filmography, I may want to see if he has any new albums in the pipeline. Perhaps I want to see all three.
As is highlighted on the right-hand side in the knowledge panel, Google can retrieve all of this information from its index of 808,000,000 Will Smith-related results, but also from its own vast database of information about noteworthy people and institutions.
As we can see, results are pulled to the top of the results to highlight his current and former spouse.
This is a demonstration of conversational search in action.
Just like a person would in a conversation, Google knows the 'he' in my question refers to Will Smith. I don't need to state this again. Google also needs to know what the connection is between 'he' and both Jada Pinkett Smith and Sheree Zampino.
These may seem like minor changes, but they hint at a fundamental shift in how Google works. Factor in voice search and it is easy to see how important this conversational element is.
Asking what an artist's best song is strays into the realm of subjectivity, so Google pulls the track listing from Will Smith's greatest hits. Or at least, I hope that's what's happening here. If Google genuinely thinks 'Girls Ain't Nothing But Trouble' is Will Smith's best song, I'll lose faith in them.
In terms of natural language processing, however, this search query is now quite convoluted. In this last instance, Google has had to keep track of who we're asking about, having deviated once already to ask who his spouse is; then pull an indirect, best-fit answer to my question about Will Smith's best song.
We've come an awfully long way from the exact keyword matching of just a few years ago.
Furthermore, all of this serves an important illustrative purpose and it's one that matters for anyone that wants to rank via SEO in 2017.
Why does it matter for brands?
The technology that underpins the above answers is utilized for all queries, so it is very significant for brands. Just launching a page on a website and 'optimizing it for SEO' clearly isn't going to cut it any more.
We can see the same principle applied to the earlier Will Smith query, but with very different results – both in their format and their content.
I may want to rank for [peanut butter] with my e-commerce site, but unless I have a physical store I can use to rank via local listings, the chances look slim. There are a few organic results above the fold (an anomaly these days), but only one brand that actually produces the product. There is a recipe with an accompanying image, however, and a link to more images, so perhaps these formats would be a more appropriate, achievable way to get onto page one.
These related searches are more specific and give us a good idea of which topics we should cover on our site. There is a nice variety of different topics here, all of which are worthy of more investigation.
We can already sense some opportunities for an e-commerce site either to branch out is content strategy to answer questions, or potentially to partner with a site that already ranks well for these queries.
The 'People also ask' list is a fantastic resource for users and SEO marketers, but we should be aware of just how dynamic that list is. It take on a concertina effect and expands based on our interactions with it.
Once more, the need to approach SEO in 2017 with an open mind is evident. We can't control how this list will function at scale; all we can do is put ourselves in the best possible position to answer common questions.
The 'People also ask' box ends up looking completely different in these two instances, which both began with the exact same query.
Note that a lot of similar questions are phrased slightly differently, but Google knows that the underlying meaning is essentially the same. As such, we don't need to slavishly devote ourselves to answering the exact questions that receive the most searches in order to rank.
This brings with it opportunities and challenges, outlined in the four-step process below.
We can't control exactly which queries we will rank for, but we can certainly increase the probability that we will improve our organic visibility if we work through these four stages.
Google provides a lot of useful information via suggested search, 'People Also Ask', and related searches. You could use these to collect a list of direct questions that you can be certain people are asking, as a starting point.
Although keyword-level search volumes are impossible to obtain with any serious degree of accuracy now, there are still some useful tools that provide insight into search trends. Google's own keyword planner is quite limited for SEO nowadays, but you can use PPC-based insights to help shape your content strategy.
There are also tools like Moz's keyword planner, which are very helpful for shaping broader SEO strategies while still keeping an eye on where the search volume is.
Personally, I find Answer the Public to be a useful guide when trying to figure out all the interrelated questions and pain points consumers have when thinking about a product or service.
Collate a list of all the navigational, informational, and commercial queries related to your site, then sub-categorize them by their semantic links to each other.
From here, you can start thinking about how to structure this to ensure maximum SEO visibility.
Site structure is a fundamental aspect of semantic search performance.
You should think of your products or services as entities that each contain a multitude of connotations and associations. Build those connotations in vertically to cover a range of user needs, and link them to other entities horizontally in the site taxonomy. By mapping keyword groups or common questions to landing pages, you can ensure that each URL on your domain has a defined purpose.
Changes to site structure normally require buy-in from multiple stakeholders, so I would advise visualizing your proposed site taxonomy as early as possible.
How you present this will depend on your intended audience and how they think. For more logical thinkers, Writemaps is a great way to produce simple but effective site structure visualizations.
If you require a more conceptual approach to emphasize semantic relationships, or even the amount of internal link value you want to send to each area of the site, you can use word cluster software like Smartdraw to get your point across.
The next step is to populate your site structure with content that meets user needs. This is an effective way to think about this, because consumer needs and desires remain relatively constant, and the ideal functioning of a search engine will always seek to satiate those underlying motivations. So if you can create content to cover every aspect of the typical consumer journey, you will be rewarded.
Bear in mind what we have seen from the example above, too. Multimedia results are hugely significant, so try to include a range of assets that fit users' (and Google's) expectations. Most rank tracking software providers now contain products that allow us to see which types are most prevalent for different types of queries, so use these to guide your efforts.
Measurement has become a significant challenge, viewed through the lens of our old performance indicators like ranking positions, for example. It is very difficult to track individual ranking positions, as they are never static. Search results pages act like living organisms now, so we need to take a broader perspective on measurement.
Track the metrics that matter most to your business, rather than just looking at rankings. The aim should always be to use SEO to affect those metrics anyway, so incorporate them within your campaign tracking.
Moreover, the bigger ranking software companies have created their own metrics to measure SEO visibility which, when combined with what you see in your analytics dashboard, will provide a lot of insight into whether your strategy is working.
We can't approach measurement like we used to, but we can still tell when SEO is making a positive contribution.

Geologists Uncover New Clues about Largest Mass Extinction Ever
A new study could help explain the driving force behind the largest mass extinction in the history of Earth, known as the End-Permian Extinction.
The event, also known as the Great Dying, occurred around 250 million years ago when a massive volcanic eruption in what is today the Russian province of Siberia sent nearly 90 percent of all life right into extinction. Geologists call this eruption the Siberian Flood Basalts, and it ran for almost 1 million years.
Lawrence "Larry" Taylor
"The scale of this extinction was so incredible, that scientists have often wondered what made the Siberian Flood Basalts so much more deadly than other similar eruptions," said Michael Broadley, a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre for Petrographic and Geochemical Research, in France, and lead author of the paper.
The work, which was published in Nature Geoscience, was co-authored by Lawrence "Larry" Taylor, the former director of UT's Planetary Geosciences Institute. Taylor, whose prolific UT career spanned 46 years, passed away in September 2017 at age 79.
According to Broadley, "Taylor was instrumental in supplying samples of mantle xenoliths, rock sections of the lithosphere (a section of the planet located between the crust and the mantle) that get captured by the passing magma and erupted to the surface during the volcanic explosion. Taylor also provided advice throughout the study."
Mantle xenoliths are rock sections of the lithosphere—a section of the planet located between the crust and the mantle—that get captured by passing magma and erupted to the surface during volcanic explosion.
Through the analysis of samples, Broadley and his team tried to determine the composition of the lithosphere. They found that before the Siberian Flood Basalts took place, the Siberian lithosphere was heavily loaded with chlorine, bromine, and iodine, all chemical elements from the halogen group. However, these elements seem to have disappeared after the volcanic eruption.
"We concluded that the large reservoir of halogens that was stored in the Siberian lithosphere was sent into the Earth's atmosphere during the volcanic explosion, effectively destroying the ozone layer at the time and contributing to the mass extinction," Broadley said.
Other co-authors in this research include Peter Barry, a former post-doctorate fellow at UT Knoxville's Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences. Barry is now a postdoctoral research associate at the Department of Earth Sciences of the University of Oxford in England.

Part 1: The general character design, name, age, physical appearance, personality, etc. Give as much or as little as you like.
Part 2: Stats, you get 450 points to put into the following. That's enough to get you a balanced 50 in each, though if you do that you'll only have a 50% chance of success any time a die roll is called. If you want better odds at something, something else has to get lower odds, so choose accordingly.
Acrobatics: Balance, rolling with a fall, vaulting a fence, etc.
Athletics: Running fast, jumping high/long, lifting weight, etc.
Endurance: How long you can go without getting tired (at which point every other stat suffers) and how well you can deal with illness and bad food/drink.
Intellect: Your book smarts, such as remember that chemical X + Chemical Y= boom!
Melee: Your ability to ruin someone's day with a blade, club, or bare hands.
Ranged: How well you can shoot.
Perception: How sharp your senses are and how well you know how to use them.
Social: How well you lie, know when others are lying, or how to be charming or scary.
Special: You also get one special stat for any type of skill you think might be useful, such as driving, climbing, ability with a specific type of weapon, etc. It isn't part of the stat buy above and will simply be set at 80.
I have some names and skip junk from the last one if people want a copy of their bio's.
Features: dark skin, hair and eyes. Small goatee and a long scar down his left cheek. Wears thick, army-issue glasses for close-up vision.
Bio: Born in Tel Aviv, Israel, to a middle-class family, George spent his youth on the beach, or playing soccer in his neighborhood. Like all Israeli men, he was conscripted at the age of 18, joining the Israeli Army Combat Engineering Corps six months prior to the Gaza War in late 2008. He participated in Operation Cast Lead, entering the Gaza Strip ahead of the main army to clear IEDs, booby traps, and open safe routes to armor and infantry.
During the conflict, George learned how to spot and disarm numerous types of traps, and saw how they were constructed. While he personally never came under attack during the war, he did lose a friend to a suicide attack; something that still haunts him. After his three-year term in the military, George decided to move to America, to attend a university, and achieve the better life his parents wanted for him.
George is personable to a degree, but mostly keeps to himself and his studies. He still remembers what he learned in the Israeli Defense Forces, but has had little need to use any of it in the last year.
Explosives – George knows how to create and deploy explosives, for demolition, traps, and for offensive use.

It's Not Their Fault: What the End of DACA Truly Means, and What We Can Do to Speak Up
Approximately 800,000 people are protected under DACA. About 300,000 of that 800,000 would lose their status, and right to work, by 2018.
By Mary Grace Donaldson	in Author: Mary Grace Donaldson, Current Events/Politics	on September 5, 2017
September 5, 2017: After weeks and months of hearing about the possibility, AG Jeff Sessions announced the official end of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. New applications end immediately, and those already protected by DACA will lose any related benefits within six months.
What does DACA allow for?
According to the Department of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, DACA was first established as an option on June 15, 2012. "The Secretary of Homeland Security announced that certain people who came to the United States as children and meet several guidelines may request consideration of deferred action for a period of two years, subject to renewal," the department's website states. "They are also eligible for work authorization. Deferred action is a use of prosecutorial discretion to defer removal action against an individual for a certain period of time. Deferred action does not provide lawful status." In other words, immigrants who came to the United States as children, with their families, without any knowledge that they were not coming to the country legally, could request time to make their citizenship legal before facing deportation. They could work in the United States without fear, while working toward to get their affairs in order.
Why the apparent need to end DACA?
"Many members of President Trump's inner circle believe that DACA is unconstitutional," ThinkProgress states. In his announcement, Sessions indicated that DACA violates immigration laws, that "failure to enforce the laws in the past has put our nation at risk of crime, violence, and even terrorism."
Without DACA, what will happen?
Approximately 800,000 people are protected under DACA. About 300,000 of that 800,000 would lose their status, and right to work, by 2018. Some of those 800,000 will be separated from their families through no fault of their own. Many went to college, received their driver's licenses, and were afforded opportunities "beyond low-wage jobs where no official paperwork is filled," according to The Washington Post. As we are discussing 800,000 people, these examples only touch the surface.
Are there other solutions in the works?
House Speaker Paul Ryan issued a statement, in which he addressed the need for a "permanent legislative solution that includes ensuring that those who have done nothing wrong can still contribute as a valued part of this great country." He indicates that DACA was never meant as a long-term solution to the problem of citizenship status for childhood arrivals.
Is it time to speak up?
While it's great to hear about the hope of a long-term solution, the fact remains that there are still 800,000 people who arrived in the United States as children, without any knowledge of their citizenship status. Their situation is not, nor has it ever been, their collective fault. And as such, the need to speak up in their defense remains. There's a reason why we have multiple branches of government, and that's for the purposes of checks and balances. DACA, and the the establishment of a long-term solution, are not only in the hands of Trump and Sessions — they have to go though Congress. Congress has six months to, as they say, figure it out. And while new applications were stopped, there are still six months to call your Congressman. Tell your elected officials that 800,000 people deserve a chance — whether that chance comes in the form of DACA, or in the form of a new legislative solution.

Cleveland Internet Radio Station oWOW is Over
By Vince Grzegorek on Thu, Sep 24, 2020 at 9:16 am
oWOW, the internet radio station founded five years ago by former WMMS program director John Gorman and industry vet Jim Marchyshyn, is calling it a day.
Citing a downturn in advertising thanks to the pandemic, Gorman announced this week broadcasts will end come October.
"After much consideration and weighing several factors in our industry, we recognized that continued operation of oWOW radio is no longer viable in this negative business environment," the station said in a press release, "Since we are not in a situation to influence the uncertainty of the future, we are unable to ride out the storm."
"Though this past summer's online streaming ratings on oWOW were 20 percent above last summer's numbers, the numerous business closures prevented us from converting those numbers in a stagnant advertising market. In previous years, the summer months accounted for over 50 percent of oWOW's annual revenue."
When oWOW launched in February 2015, Gorman had high hopes that the medium would attract listeners thanks to an expanded playlist and local personalities.
"The idea [for an Internet radio station] has been there for ages," Gorman told Scene at the time. "It goes back to when streaming first became viable online. That was in the mid-'90s. You could see it in the future because there was a need for it. The other side of it is that it's expensive and why do it unless there's an audience for it. The idea has been in our minds but the timing wasn't right. We saw that Pandora had a critical mass of audience of people using the Internet for entertainment and that was when we realized something was going on. Spotify solidified it. But the other side of both of them is that there is no element of surprise. You're going there for a specific reason. In the old days, you had people on the air into the music and they would say things like, 'Here's something we think you'll really like.'"
oWOW,
John Gorman,

In 2020, the Autumn Nations Cup replaced the Autumn Internationals because the Covid-19 pandemic meant that many teams were unable to travel internationally. As a result, the 2020 version of the Autumn Nations Cup was contested by eight countries. This included all of the teams who compete for the Six Nations Championship plus Georgia and Fiji.
In 2021, it's hoped that the schedule of Autumn Internationals will return to normal. However, you can read all of the latest rugby Autumn Internationals news below and be the first to know what format any future tournament will take.

Autumn Nations Cup History
During the 2020 tournament, the teams were split into two groups of four. During the group stage of the Autumn Nations Cup, each team played other group members once. Then, the teams in first place in each group then played each other, as did the teams in second, third and fourth, to determine the overall standings.
In Group A of the Autumn Nations Cup, England came top after winning all three of their games. They were followed by Ireland in second place, Wales in third and Georgia in fourth.

More Autumn Nations Cup History
In 2020 France topped Group B, like England, they won every game they played in the group stage. They were followed by Scotland in second, Italy in third and Fiji in fourth. Sadly, a Covid-19 outbreak in Fiji's camp meant that the team was forced to concede all of their group games. However, they did play against Georgia in the 7th/8th place playoff, which was a game that they won.
In the 1st/2nd place play off, England triumphed over France in an exhilarating game that went to sudden-death extra-time after England scored a late converted try.

Pokalsieger wurde erstmals der VfL Wolfsburg mit einem 3:1-Sieg über Borussia Dortmund.

Da der VfL Wolfsburg als DFB-Pokalsieger bereits über die Bundesliga für die Champions League qualifiziert war, kam erstmals die neue Regelung der UEFA zur Anwendung, wonach sich – anders als in den Vorjahren – nicht mehr der Verlierer des Finales für die Europa League qualifizierte, sondern der Sechste der Bundesliga-Abschlusstabelle, der FC Schalke 04, von der 3. Qualifikationsrunde in die Gruppenphase aufrückte und der Siebte, Borussia Dortmund, als zusätzlicher Teilnehmer den freien Platz in der 3. Qualifikationsrunde erhielt.

Es durften keine zwei Mannschaften eines Vereins oder einer Kapitalgesellschaft an den Spielen um den DFB-Vereinspokal teilnehmen.

Teilnehmende Mannschaften

Für die erste Runde waren 64 Mannschaften sportlich qualifiziert:

Art Talk with Poet Tanaya Winder
TanayaWinder_NatPoMo Photo credit Saydie Sago_resized.jpeg
Tanaya Winder. Photo by Saydie Sago
For Tanaya Winder, writing poetry is about much more than language. It's about what that language can do. As she put it when describing her first recognition of that potency, she realized that "words had the power to hold people in the way they needed to be held." Winder--who is from the Southern Ute, Duckwater Shoshone, and Pyramid Lake Paiute Nations--writes poetry for both page and stage, in addition to working with youth across the country. She is one of the founding editors of the literary journal As/Us: A Space for Women in the World, and also runs Dream Warriors, an Indigenous artist management company. She has most recently published the poetry collection Words Like Love with West End Press, and is the co-editor with Joy Harjo of Soul Talk, Song Language, a collection of interviews with Harjo. We spoke with Winder by telephone about her writing process, and about poetry as both a force for healing and a type of time travel.
NEA: What's your origin story as an artist?
TANAYA WINDER: As an indigenous woman, I feel that songs and storytelling have always been a huge part of who I am and of my culture. In the beginning I was like this sponge, absorbing what was going on around me, taking it all in. In fourth grade there was a poetry competition. and it was writing poems in response to The Diary of Anne Frank, which we had just read. I don't really remember exactly what I wrote about, but I remember writing on this really nice paper. I remember drawing barbed wire on the edges of the paper. And I remember that being the first time I felt that art could be in response to a trauma and that art had its own sort of magical alchemy about it. After that, writing and art became this space of healing, where it could create healing but also create a space for healing.
Many years later, during my senior year in high school, when my grandfather passed away unexpectedly, I really turned to poetry to heal. That was the first time I had been asked to write a eulogy. I remember telling stories [about] the way my grandpa exposed me to the world and the way I saw him. I remember the words flowing out of me and writing it in his bedroom. Then when I read it, I became so overcome with emotion. I remember my sister and cousin being there to stand behind me as I read it and struggled to get through the words…. People talked to me afterward about my words resonating and capturing the essence of my grandfather. It was then I knew that words had this power in the way they were strung together in that you could hold people with those words. I think [that experience is] what taught me that words had the power to hold people in the way they needed to be held. That really opened this wound in me, this passageway that my writing continues to flow from.
NEA: Can you say more about poetry as a type of healing?
WINDER: I've always turned to poetry whenever there's been some sort of rupture or soul wounding in my life. I feel as an indigenous woman and person of color in this country, with the particular history that indigenous people have, that a lot of those soul woundings and ruptures parallel for other people and allow them to resonate. So I think when professors or people tell you, "Don't write for therapy," I think maybe they envision therapy and healing in the selfish way. And we're not taught that way, like you have to heal yourself. You can help heal and help serve others.
I'm really blessed in that I get to travel a lot doing poetry workshops for native youth and college students from reservations and to [other] communities and colleges. One exercise that I like to break the ice with is asking people if they could have any superhero power, what would it be and why? And for me, mine is always I could time travel. Poetry allows me to travel time like that. It allows me to put all of these different events together in this mosaic and if I need to return to [a particular] time, if I need to rewrite an event or a scene and slow it down to really privilege the moment where an exchange or just a small moment can have the same importance and significance as [a large] event, that to me is healing. Because you can return to what you need to return to and write it the way and render it the way you need to render it. So I find it very, very healing in that way. I think when people see you doing that work and they see you remembering, you're literally putting yourself back together again…. That's what I mean when I say writing is healing. Even in the practice of it, the patience it takes in crafting a line, in crafting a poem and giving yourself the emotional distance from it, to return to it again then critically, that to me is healing. Because anything traumatic in your life is like that, right? Right away you feel the emotion and the weight of it all…. It takes time to be able to go back and look at it critically the same way it does in a poem
NEA: Where do poems start for you? What's your writing process?
WINDER: I think the poems always start from a place of emotion. Like I said, from a rupture. There's this poet and an author and writer. He's First Nations and his name's Richard Van Camp. He has this book called The Lesser Blessed, and there's a quote in it that says: "I have to tell you something. I have this God-shaped hole in my heart, and I think you do, too." I know my poems start from that hole. I used to think of it as this hole I would try to fill. Like my less than, my not enough than hole that I think a lot of us have. But the older I'm getting, I'm realizing that that's not where I'm diminished. That hole is where I get my strength. It's not to fill; it's to let things come through.
I probably shouldn't wait for the muse as often as I do, but if something happens, whether it's the Dakota Access Pipeline [protests] going on right now or the epidemic of murdered and missing indigenous women, or the high rates of suicide [I know about] since I work with youth, whenever I see or hear about things happening, it always moves me to write…. For me it all comes down to love, whether it's environmental love, social love, community love, or self-love. I think coming at an issue from any of those inlets of love is a way to help people understand it, to give that different vantage point to an issue. A lot of my poems flow in and out of that, and it takes me a long time. I'll just go with my intuition about the lines. I was really lucky that my first poetics class was with Eavan Boland, and she gave me a really good understanding of white space and how important it was to break a line for meaning and to control how you want your reader to breathe and the mental pacing. I really am conscious when I break the line and when I choose to do form. But sometimes when I get lost in [a poem], I'll just make it one big block and one big paragraph and start again. I imagine that's how sculptors think of it. Like this big piece of clay. You know what's under there and it's your job to slowly lift [the clay] off.
My actual first poetry teacher for my undergrad where I started studying the craft of it was Gabrielle Calvocoressi. The first poem she taught was "One Art" by Elizabeth Bishop. It's a poem about loss and losing in this very strict form a villanelle. To be able to put something that has no rules, like loss and how it affects people--whether it's losing time, procrastinating, to losing a person, to ultimate loss--to put something with no rules into a form with absolute rules and structure, that contrast between the content and the form, [she taught me] that's where poetry lives. I've never forgotten that and I always think about that when I write. Now that I work with youth too, I'm doing more performative pieces or spoken words ones, just because if it's something that I know is meant to be spoken, I try to think about that in the form too. So those thoughts are all going through my head when I write a poem.
NEA: What's the advice that you find yourself giving your students most often? Or what's the most important thing you want them to learn while working with you?
WINDER: I want them to know and understand the power of love as a force of change. I think a lot of people think about intimate love, but I try to open and expand the way people think about love. That means that you can love your family, but you can also love yourself. And leaving you home to study what makes you happy and not what you've been told is successful is a form of loving yourself. It's possible for all those different loves to exist in the same universe and in the same body that a person has. I think a lot of times the youth I work with, just because of the day-to-day things and the other struggles in the country, I think sometimes they don't get the privilege of dreaming that anything's possible. We've been told success is becoming a doctor or a lawyer, and that's how you can make money so you don't struggle. But I think it's rare to sit youth down and say, "Well, what makes you happy? Can you build your life around what makes you happy? What are you good at?" And not just what you've been told you're good at, but what you want to be good at. And again, what makes you happy? Because you want to be able to do what you love for your life. I think that that's the most important thing. I think art and poetry are ways to help them find that healing, that self-belief, that self-love, and hopefully empower them to choose whatever path makes them happy..
NEA: You touched on superheroes earlier because you must've known I was going to ask you: What's your superpower as an artist?
WINDER: I think I'm able to help transport people through time. So I'm not just the only time traveler, but I can bring them with me. The poems and the art transport them to remembering similar situations in their life that might've needed healing. So I guess in that way I suppose that my superpower is to heal people.
NEA: And in terms of being an artist, what do you wish you were better at?
WINDER: I wish I was better at making time for my art. Because I think that out of all those other things I do, sometimes I put myself and my art on the back burner. I need to be better at not doing that. I need to have more balance. When you fly on planes [the safety instructions tell you] you have to put your own air mask on before you assist others. I think sometimes I'm guilty of putting on other people's air masks to help them and their art and my students, and I need to also focus more on why I do what I do and making sure my art gets enough time and energy as well.
NEA: The final question is for you to finish this sentence. The arts matter because…
WINDER: The arts matter because they tug at the heartstrings in ways that facts and politics and rhetoric could never access.

Groupon Returns From Edge of Oblivion
Author: Marcus WohlsenMarcus Wohlsen
Groupon CEO Eric Lefkofsky.
Photo: Jörg Carstensen/picture-alliance/dpa/AP Images
Since bottoming out last November, Groupon shares have more than quadrupled. The company's stock closed yesterday near its 52-week high. Its market cap is back above $8 billion, still a far cry from its IPO days, but once again worth more than Nokia. After being written off as a dying business (by me, among others), Groupon is staging one of the year's more unlikely comebacks.
Though Groupon shares began to rise again before ex-CEO and co-founder Andrew Mason was fired at the end of February, the real rebound didn't get under way until after he was gone. Under Mason, Groupon shed nearly 80 percent of its value during the first nine months after its 20122 IPO—at the time, the biggest internet IPO since Google. As Mason himself pointed out in his much-shared note following his departure.
"From controversial metrics in our S1 to our material weakness to two quarters of missing our own expectations and a stock price that's hovering around one quarter of our listing price, the events of the last year and a half speak for themselves," he said. "As CEO, I am accountable."
So what changed?
After Mason was gone, control of the company effectively went to co-founder and executive chairman Eric Lefkofsky, who was officially named CEO last month after serving as interim co-CEO. While Mason was in charge, Lefkofsky was perhaps best known for pocketing $398 million of Groupon's nearly $1 billion round of pre-IPO financing. To some critics, that decision symbolized what they saw as the company's focus on short-term gain over long-term strategy – an image that seemed deserved as Groupon filed quarter after quarter of dismal earnings reports and flailed its way into new categories such as mobile payments.
Yet it's mobile that also appears to hold the key to Groupon's comeback.
Traditionally, Groupon has relied on email to market daily deals – an approach known as "push," since the company was pushing the pitches to potential customers. But in its second-quarter earnings announcement, which sent Groupon shares soaring in August, the company said that "pull" was supplanting "push" as email accounted for less than 40 percent of all North American transactions. Instead of email, Groupon says its "pulling" deal seekers into its marketplace, where they actively search for deals—an approach ideally suited to mobile apps.
In a meeting with Deutsche Bank analysts, Groupon said mobile was on track to account for half of all Groupon transactions. The Groupon app was downloaded 7.5 million times in the second quarter.
"We hosted meetings with Groupon management on Monday and the tone was largely upbeat," wrote Deutsche Bank analyst Ross Sandler in a note on the meeting with Groupon management. Sandler has been among the most bullish backers of Groupon post-Mason. In June, Groupon shares rose after Sandler upgraded the stock from a "hold" to a "buy" and raised his estimated target price from $6 to $10. Yesterday, Groupon closed at $11.76, and Sandler sees them rising to $17.
"We still see more runway in front of Groupon," he wrote.
Still, a little stock market love doesn't necessarily mean a return to real success. (Groupon still isn't profitable.) Yahoo's share price has also soared under new leadership, but that support from the market signals hope for the future more than accomplishments in the present. For Yahoo, the question remains: What does this company really do?
For Groupon, the lingering doubt is whether daily deals are really a sustainable business at all. Groupon has long since tried to reframe its image away from the half-price cupcake and spa treatment vouchers with which its name has become synonymous. The company says its mission is to be "the world's commerce operating system," which fits with its forays into payments and more traditional e-commerce sales of physical goods.
As consumers increasingly turn to their mobile devices to shop, perhaps Groupon's "pull" strategy will be enough to maintain its return to respectability. But it's also possible that the whole premise of Groupon is still iffy, and this rally just another blip en route to the demise of another dotcom fad.
Update (September 13, 2013, 1:20 p.m. PDT): Forrester Research analyst Sucharita Mulpuru, a longtime Groupon critic, just got back to us. Here's an excerpt of her take on the recovery of the company's stock:
(Y)es, it's significantly higher, but it's still off its IPO price by 60+%. Compare this to Facebook which is not only recovered from a poor IPO but now is above the IPO price.
My issue with Groupon was that it was always overvalued ... . It's got a solid business model at its heart, just not a business opportunity that's much larger than what it is now. As for the reversal of the stock price, I'm baffled, especially since the CEO now is the guy who everyone in the industry said was the source of many of the company's problems in the first place. ... I think it just goes to show how short investors' memories are.

What is epilepsy?
Epilepsy is one of the most common serious neurological conditions. (1) Around 600,000 people in the UK have a diagnosis of epilepsy and are prescribed anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) – the equivalent of 10 per 1,000 people – and an estimated 32,000 new cases are diagnosed each year.(1) The incidence of epilepsy is high in the very young (4 years and under), decreases in the adult population, and peaks in the population of older people (65 years and over),(1) which has important implications for commissioning.
Epilepsy is not a single condition. It is defined by any of the following conditions (23):
(1) At least two unprovoked (or reflex) seizures occurring more than 24 hours apart
(2) One unprovoked (or reflex) seizure and a probability of further seizures similar to the general recurrence risk (at least 60%) after two unprovoked seizures, occurring over the next 10 years
(3) Diagnosis of an epilepsy syndrome
There are several types of epilepsy, and accurate diagnosis and classification of these can be a complicated process.(1) An epilepsy diagnosis can have important health, social, educational and employment implications and these are associated with substantial non-medical costs that far outweigh the costs of treatment.(26) Epilepsy is also an under-recognised killer, accounting for the deaths of 1,150 people in the UK in 2009 alone – more than the number of deaths due to HIV/AIDS and cot death combined (3)
Commissioning a new service, or developing existing epilepsy care, is seldom easy, and there is no single best way to achieve it.
Living with epilepsy
Benefits of improved diagnosis
Prompt access to epilepsy specialists will help to avoid delayed or incorrect diagnosis, improving access to optimal treatment and reducing the risk of premature death. Better diagnosis and treatment will lead to a reduction in the number of seizures and seizure-related injuries, thereby reducing emergency admissions to secondary care. This is because accurate diagnosis is often based on being able to understand the description of the attacks from witnesses. Fewer incidences of misdiagnosis and incorrect prescriptions of medicines will reduce costs (both medical and legal) to the NHS, and provide better value for money through knock-on effects on other epilepsy services.(15)
Limiting the rate of misdiagnosis will help to reduce the risk of teratogenicity in wrongly diagnosed patients and will prevent patients wrongly diagnosed with epilepsy from facing, for example, unnecessary restrictions in employment and in other areas of life. Better diagnostic services are also likely to reduce any treatment gaps or inequalities, and, through encouraging independent living, improve the rate of employability for people with epilepsy. Finally, patients will have a greater choice of treatment options and a greater sense of empowerment.(15)
Eight key facts about epilepsy
The number of people in the UK diagnosed with epilepsy has risen sharply in recent years. The number of people living with epilepsy in the UK is estimated as 600,000 (1).
Misdiagnosis of epilepsy is common (20–31% of patients are wrongly diagnosed and treated) and can have important consequences in terms of patient outcomes and cost to the NHS (1).
The mortality rate among people with epilepsy is high, despite 42% of epilepsy-related deaths being potentially avoidable (2).
Epilepsy is responsible for a high number of emergency department visits. Reducing non-elective epilepsy admissions may offer significant cost savings. The key is understanding which admissions are avoidable. (21)
An estimated 18% of patients are having unnecessary seizures as a result of not receiving optimal treatment. 52% of patients are seizure free and 18% have refractory epilepsy, where seizures are uncontrolled. (3)
Side-effects of anti-epileptic drugs can include degenerative diseases such as osteoporosis and osteomalacia, which, if left untreated, can result in high additional treatment costs and impaired quality of life.(27)
Pre-conception counselling and precautions taken during pregnancy can reduce the impact on the foetus of mothers with epilepsy. (28)
The non-medical costs of epilepsy far outweigh the cost of treatment. For example, an epilepsy diagnosis can result in unemployment, loss of mobility (e.g. revoked driving licence) and mental health problems. (26)
Reducing non-elective hospital admissions
Using hospital episodes data, commissioners may find that the emergency admission rate for epilepsies is surprisingly high compared with other long-term conditions. For example, in 2008 Wakefield district commissioners found that in the previous three financial years, epilepsy had the highest non-elective admission rate for long-term conditions.(20) Nearly two-thirds of the admissions could be attributed to individuals being admitted on a single occasion and for a length of stay that was less than two days.(20) Non-elective admissions can be reduced by treating people with epilepsy who present in the emergency setting as day cases, where possible, and supporting them with the management of their condition in a community setting.(21) Although the reduction of non-elective admissions should be considered an important driver of effective commissioning, such admissions account for only a small proportion of the total number that a CCG will pay for in a year.(22) However, a much larger scheme developed by the NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement provides added value to this target.(23) 'Ambulatory emergency care' (often referred to as emergency day care) is intended to increase the number of appropriate discharges that occur within 24 hours of individuals arriving in an emergency department.(23) These may be discharges straight from an emergency department, or admissions with a length of stay less than one day.(23)
Benefits of reducing non-elective hospital admissions
Epilepsy is an ambulatory-sensitive condition, meaning that better management in the community or primary care setting can effectively avoid visits to the emergency department and hospital admissions. Development of a local ambulatory emergency care model will reduce the pressure on the emergency care system as a whole, improve management of emergency care workload, and lead to better quality patient outcome and experience. The service may also save the NHS money by reducing hospital bed occupation. It should be noted that social factors may mean that dealing with non-elective hospital admissions on an outpatient basis may not be possible (for example, if the patient is frail and presents after dark).
Clinical targets for reducing non-elective hospital admissions
Commissioners may wish to use local hospital episodes data to identify any groups of people who tend to access emergency care more frequently than other people with epilepsy, for example:(20)
People who wish to receive advice, education and support for their (diagnosed) epilepsy
People who have been referred by a GP to secondary care following a suspected epileptic seizure
People who, following a diagnosis of epilepsy in secondary care, require post-diagnosis support
People who have been misdiagnosed
People who have problems with managing their epilepsy
People whose epilepsy is unresponsive to medication
Children and young people with a diagnosis of epilepsy who are approaching the age of transition to adult services
People needing local care services or living in care homes
Provision of a service for reducing non-elective hospital admissions
Key components of the service could include, but are not limited to: care pathways, information management and technology, accessibility, geographical coverage, referral criteria, avoiding inappropriate referrals, response times and prioritisation, assessment tools, relationship building, goal setting, support interventions, discharge planning and community support.

On one very special day an imaginary friend is born on an island far away. Here, he and his other imaginary friends play all day and each night they sit beneath the stars, hoping and waiting for their turn to be picked, to be imagined, by a real child. But this particular imaginary friend waits and waits, and still no child imagines him. So he does the unimaginable – he sets off into the real world. Once there, he searches so long that he is just about to give up, when a shy, bookish girl named Alice meets him. Gradually they discover they are perfect for each other… and Alice has the perfect name for her imaginary friend: Beekle.

At my request, A Penny Saved… has been added to pfblogs.com. I'm sure there are those of you out there who are asking why I would submit my feeds to an aggregator that uses ads.
I think that's the worst arguement ever. When was the last time you searched for something on Google? See those ads on the right hand side of your results? They show up when your content is there as well. Are you submitted to Technorati? See all those ads on the Technorati pages? Yep, you guessed it. They show up when your content is there too.
At least pfblogs.com gives me the ability to rotate my adsense code in once in a while if I so choose. I did not choose to if you are curious. I think most people click through to the sites rather than through the ads.
So, why did I decide to add myself to pfblogs.com? I see it as a symbiotic relationship. I add a little content to their aggregator and in exchange, traffic that is interested in my content clicks through to my site. The better they do, the more traffic that is potentially interested in my content and comes to my site. It's the same reason that I submit to Google, Yahoo, Technorati and the whole lot.
If you have content that is PF, REI, or Invest related, consider adding yourself also. If you still are a little skittish about the ads, add your code to the rotation and get some of the ad time on the site as well.

Retirement Income Alert: Do You Own A $1 Million Plus IRA In A High Income-Tax State?
If you own a $1 million IRA account and live in a state with a high income-tax rate, here's a financial planning tip that could save you thousands annually on state income tax. The strategy requires setting up a trust in a state with no income tax, which is probably not something you do every day. So, here's a primer.
This is a new way to legally reduce your taxes and comply with current tax law, and a key principle driving the strategy recently was affirmed by a Supreme Court ruling. Basically, the non-grantor trust you would set up creates a new taxpayer in a state with no income tax. Then, the non-grantor trust distributes income. If you live in a state with an income tax, establishing the trust outside the reach of the state in which you live eliminates the state income tax you'd otherwise owe.
A recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling upheld the key principle behind the strategy. The June 21st, 2019 majority opinion of the Court ruled against the state of North Carolina, which had argued that Kimberly Rice Kaestner, the beneficiary of a North Carolina trust, owed the state tax on income she received through the trust. The North Carolina trust had been set up by her father, Joseph Lee Kaestner III, a New York resident, in 1992, with Ms. Kaestner named as one of the beneficiaries. In 1997, Ms. Kaestner moved to North Carolina and many years later the state assessed an income tax on the trust, citing a law authorizing North Carolina to tax any trust income for the benefit of a state resident.
The Court rejected North Carolina's argument, saying it had violated the Fourteenth Amendment's due process clause, since the beneficiaries had no right to demand the income from the trust and are uncertain to receive it. In fact, the trust had paid no income to the beneficiaries in the years for which North Carolina claimed taxes were owed!
This strategy is particularly timely because of a looming reform to the federal tax law. The tax proposal, which is widely expected to be signed into law by the end of 2019, requires that distributions of income from IRAs you leave to non-spouse beneficiaries — your children and other loved ones — be distributed over 10 years. This would prevent your heirs from taking minimum annual distributions based on their life expectancy on inherited IRAs — a popular strategy known as a "Stretch IRA." By utilizing a trust to move the IRA distributions to a state with no income tax, your beneficiaries avoid state income tax on those required distributions of income on inherited IRAs.
Why does this advisory merit urgent attention of individuals with IRAs exceeding $1 million in high income tax states, even though the proposal may not be signed into law until the end of the year? The answer: Because both chambers of Congress and President Trump have expressed support for the reform.
This aspect of retirement income planning is fraught with complexity. New York and California recently enacted laws adversely affecting non-spouse beneficiaries residing in states with an income tax. Please contact us with questions about this topic, as this strategy requires personal advice from a qualified tax professional.

Peaches Geldof would be 30 now if she had not died of a heroin overdose five years ago.
The daughter of Sir Bob was found dead at her Wrotham home on April 7, 2014.
Her mother, Paula Yates, also died from an overdose when the model was just 11-years-old.
An inquest revealed she was found slumped over in a bedroom along with drugs a syringe filled with a brown fluid which analysts confirmed contained heroin.
Her son was at the house at the time of her death.
The young mum had been battling addiction, weaning herself off methadone in November 2013.
However, the February before her death husband Tom Cohen found drugs related texts on her phone.
The anniversary comes days before an inquest into the death of a young mother found overdosed on a cocktail of alcohol and cocaine in a Maidstone flat.

More Email Marketing Reviews. . .
JangoMail's overall star rating was 20 out of 25 stars. Their biggest strengths were their friendly and knowledgeable Customer Support, large amount of image hosting and excellent report generation. However, JangoMail's lack of live chat support and a true drag-and-drop editor for content blocks caused them to lose a few points in the star ratings. Overall, this is an above average email marketing service provider as they include many of the tools that can make your email campaign a success.
JangoMail received 4 of 5 stars for Email Creation. They offer unlimited image hosting, which is above the Industry Benchmark of 5 to 10 MB, although they don't allow you to edit the images you import. This service offers 14 "smart" templates and another 101 free templates by downloading their "High Impact for JangoMail" template manager. Jangomail also offers a WYSIWYG editor (they call it an HTML editor) which makes these templates flexible by allowing you to edit your email campaign while seeing what it will look like to your readers. However, the online editor does not allow you to drag and drop content blocks into the email. You are able to remove their logo from your email for free, and another perk is their social network integration with Twitter and Facebook that will help the user reach a wide range of potential customers.
JangoMail received 4 out of 5 stars for Contact Management. With this provider you can import from Salesforce, Excel, and Outlook as long as the files are saved as a CSV or TXT file. They offer an autoresponder that allows you to send a standard welcome message to your new subscribers, confirming their sign-up. JangoMail also automatically removes unsubscribes and bounces from your contact list.
JangoMail's star rating for Email Deliverability was 4 out of 5 stars. Of the emails we sent, 100% got through during our tests. The provider offers a spam checker called Spam Assassin (a widely-deployed open source project that serves as a mail filter to identify spam). They do not allow you to re-edit an email after it has been scheduled to send, as it is delivered approximately 15 minutes after clicking the send button.
JangoMail received 4 out of 5 stars for Analyzing Reports. These reports show such actions as email campaign opens, forwards, number of clicks, bounces, unsubscribes, and spam reports. These reports accurately reflect the user's actions, and this information can be displayed in both graphs or charts. In addition, you can export these reports to your own email account and are able to export unsubscribes, bounces, or a clean list from your account. JangoMail does not offer an automatic A/B testing feature, but you can manually develop an A/B test using segmented lists. The reports the service offers integrate with Google Analytics as well.
JangoMail's Customer Support received 4 out of 5 stars. They offer phone and email support Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET. Every time we tried to reach them by phone, it went straight to voicemail. Their email support response time was also slow. However, the support we did receive was very friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough. JangoMail also offers text and video tutorials and an FAQ section which are very helpful with general information and problems.
JangoMail offers a full-feature free trial with a limit of 200 emails each month. Their pricing model is based primarily on number of emails. The price for up to 1000 emails is $15 and $25 for up to 2500 emails. If you're looking to send a number of emails to a large number of email addresses, this pricing schedule should be optimal for you.
