The glial scar is a physical and molecular barrier to axon growth — a fact that's been known for a long time. There's an image up from a 1999 article in the Journal of Neuroscience that shows the green lines of axons straggling toward this thing that looks like a joint in a knee, where they stop dead. It's the injury site.
Overcome scar and inhibitors to promote axon regeneration/plasticity.
Replace lost glia to bridge axon growth across the injury site.
What's the right cell type for a bridge?
Non-CNS cell types (Schwann, engineered fibroblasts, olfactory ensheathing cells, macrophages, esc's, marrow stromal cells) plus CNS cells, and 70% of adult CNS cells are astrocytes . . . but there are different kinds. Can we make the right kind?
The BMP's have low inhibitor levels, they're high in growth factors, and highly supportive of axon growth. The gp130's are the exact opposite.
So, where do you get grp cells? From esc's, unless you can genetically engineer the adult stem cell . . .a process that is not done yet.
So when you transplant the gdabmp's what happens? A ton of cells migrate into the margin of the injury and they align themselves very neatly — the opposite of what happens normally, where cells are all mixed up and helter skelter. They actually measured the misalignment between axons as about 59 degrees without the astrocyte gdabmp and 11 degrees with it.
These are the same slides we saw last year, and they still knock me out. All this was published in the Journal of Biology last year, after Dr. Davies was good enough to share it with us. So what about functional recovery? The rats that got the good astrocytes are at almost full recovery — and the ones that got the bad ones get nada.
Neuropathic Pain . . . (sometimes called allodynia) can be made WORSE by implanting "naive" neural stem cells. They turned into grp's, then the bad kind of astrocytes, and pain was the result. So they tested gdabmp, gdagp130, and grp's — the rats that got the bmp's were like normal rats, but the others were in serious pain–so serious that they had to stop the experiment ahead of time.
This is a major reason for people to hold off on the idea of getting any kind of undifferentiated stem cell injection to get recovery. It's not unlikely that the result will be more neuropathic pain.
Bottom line: the bmp astrocytes are all gain and no pain. I like that combination.

Well in this case "exoplanet" count would increase notably, also acconting candidate BDs detected by timing around many cataclysmic variables, Algol and W UMa-type eclipsing binaries.
There is already many "brown dwarf" (understand "burned deuterium in childhood") in EPE, because the limit planet/BD is at 20MJ, not 13MJ. You wont be able to tell the difference between a brown dwarf and a planet, because the deuterium burning take place during the contraction of the object and have almost no effect on its further évolution.
Personnally I separated EPE friendly planets, desert brown dwarfs and planetary mass companions in different counts, and many as nu Ophiuchi orbiting objets are obviously of planetary nature.
And I found only 77 true desert brown dwarf to date, thats not very much.
Some papers to read, breaking the borders between planets and brown dwarfs.
I think the way of birth is now more important than mass.
In other hand, all substellar objets born in a protoplanetary disc must be called a planet, even if in the youth, the planet burned deuterium... And may be Jupiter and Saturn did it in the past according to some models!
Of course it's my point of view, but I think we need to rethink our classification, just like what we did in 2006 in our solar system.
So should WASP-30 B and other transiting/non-transiting epistellar brown dwarfs (to say, MARVELS-1 b, MARVELS-4 Ab, MARVELS-5 b AND MARVELS-6 b) be listed then.
If CoRoT-15 b is listed, then yes.
Should we open a separate thread concerning massive substellar object treated ad "exoplanets"? In case I'd move this reply there.

I propose "General brown dwarf news and discoveries"
Stalker wrote: I propose "General brown dwarf news and discoveries"
Another (imaged) brown dwarf added to planet list at EPE. Are we going to expand the "planet" concept?
Remember CoRoT-29b with the asymmetric transit? Follow-up observations find no asymmetry.
Palle et al. "The GTC exoplanet transit spectroscopy survey. IV.: No asymmetries in the transit of Corot-29b"
While it is not impossible that both the CoRoT and the FTN data suffered from unfortunate instrumental effects causing a similar asymmetry, another explanation is that the poorly understood source of this asymmetry disappeared sometimes between 2012 and 2014.
We present MCDA, a modification of the CoRoT detrend algorithm (CDA) suitable to detrend chromatic light curves. By means of robust statistics and better handling of short term variability, the implementation decreases the systematic light curve variations and improves the detection of exoplanets when compared with the original algorithm. All CoRoT chromatic light curves (a total of 65,655) were analysed with our algorithm. Dozens of new transit candidates and all previously known CoRoT exoplanets were rediscovered in those light curves using a box-fitting algorithm. For three of the new cases spectroscopic measurements of the candidates' host stars were retrieved from the ESO Science Archive Facility and used to calculate stellar parameters and, in the best cases, radial velocities. In addition to our improved detrend technique we announce the discovery of a planet that orbits a 0.79+0.08−0.09R⊙ star with a period of 6.71837±0.00001 days and has 0.57+0.06−0.05RJ and 0.15±0.10MJ. We also present the analysis of two cases in which parameters found suggest the existence of possible planetary companions.
So now EPE has it under the designation CoRoT-32 b. Which conflicts with previous descriptions of the planet CoRoT-32 b (still unpublished) which described it as a planet in a 20-day orbit around an F4 star in NGC 2232. SIMBAD lists CoRoT-32 as corresponding to CoRoT ID 617963863, which seems to be in roughly the same area as NGC 2232 so presumably corresponds to the earlier designation. SIMBAD's entry for CoRoT ID 223977153 lists neither the planet nor a CoRoT-nn designation.
Has the CoRoT numbering been changed, or is EPE wrong here?

I'd select the latter since lately EPE is edited and updated very slovenly.
The eccentric hot Jupiter at CoRoT-20 has an eccentric outer companion... hello CoRoT-20c!
Rey et al. "A 4.6-year period brown-dwarf companion interacting with the hot-Jupiter CoRoT-20 b"
Minimum mass 17±1 Jupiters, eccentricity 0.60±0.03. Transit window was not covered by the CoRoT mission, next opportunity will be November 2020. Possibly a candidate for the Gaia mission.
Improved ephemerides for CoRoT-5, -8, -12, -18 and -20. Followup of CoRoT-27 did not detect the transit, indicating the period may be slightly different to the previous determination.
St Raetz et al. "Transit analysis of the CoRoT-5, CoRoT-8, CoRoT-12, CoRoT-18, CoRoT-20, and CoRoT-27 systems with combined ground- and space-based photometry"
CoRoT-30 and CoRoT-31 are on exoplanet.eu now.

Lady Gaga wears quirky Tea Shades in New York
When anyone thinks of quirky, unusual and frankly crazy fashion, Lady Gaga usually springs to mind. The Born This Way singer is certainly not one to shy away from some of the bravest accessories she can find.
However, we have noticed that recently Gaga seems to have toned down the craziness and has been pictured a few times looking, well, normal-ish. She has swapped layers of meat for glamorous evening dresses, brightly coloured wigs for glossy blonde locks, and extremely odd head pieces for stylish hats.
Lady Gaga was pictured in her home city New York on Saturday, getting ready to perform alongside famous British band The Rolling Stones in Brooklyn. Her usual wacky sense of style could still be seen in her outfit but she certainly looked a lot more demure and sophisticated. The gothic outfit that she sported consisted of a floor length open-fronted black dress which had a white blouse underneath with a black scarf tied around the collar. Gaga accessorised her outfit with her usual essential items, a pair of towering black heels, a wide black hat and a pair of vintage Tea Shade Sunglasses which added that quirky touch to her look.
TEA SHADE SUNGLASSES
Tea Shade Sunglasses, otherwise known as round sunglasses or John Lennon Sunglasses, were made famous back in the mid-sixties when they were Beatle's star John Lennon's favourite fashion accessory. As the British boy band had such a huge fan base, it was not long before the round sunnies were famous and renowned all over the word for their 'different' look which really was the essence of cool.
Tea Shades usually have softly tinted surrounded by thick or thin lenses and sometimes detailing on the arms. Nowadays, Tea Shades have evolved drastically and exaggerated frames, brightly coloured and patterned designs are commonly found in many designer eyewear collections. Other stars such as Pop Queen Beyonce Knowles, Ozzy Osbourne, Mick Jagger and Noel Galagher are often pictured wearing the iconic style.
Here at Blaze, we have an extensive range of Tea Shade sunglasses at extremely competitive prices. Our exciting range includes models from top designer brands such as Ralph Lauren, Giorgio Armani, Persol and their creators Ray-Ban.
Relive the sixties with a pair of highly sought after Tea Shade sunglasses which really will never go out of fashion due to the fact that they can easily create the hottest, vintage fashion statement no matter what outfit they are accessorising.

Q: Some Questions on Spring Please respond to below questions.
1) where are the beans loaded. will they be loaded in Spring ApplicationContext?
      OR they are loaded in the heap by ApplicationContext.
2) In a spring Web Application, If the Application is not being used for a day or so, will the ApplicationContext Object garbage collected?
3) How to make singletons thread safe?
4) what are the other Objects that have Threadsafe issues in Spring.
5) BeanPostProcessor's methods execute for each and every bean in the application.
How is it handled in case of thousands of object in a complex application.
Are the beanpostProcessors thread safe?

A: I think you should better split these questions - each of them deserves a dedicated thread imho.

*

*In any case, Spring loads the beans for you. How? It reads the metadata about the beans (xml/annotations based), and wires up them together. So spring does a "new" for you, But how to access this bean? Here ApplicationContext comes to play. Its just like a container for all these beans, a a container that allows to access the bean instance by its name (getBean("beanName") ).
In a very simplistic approach you can think of the application context as a map of beans by name.
I didn't totally understand the "Heap" concern here. Spring beans are just Java objects living in the JVM, so yes, basically they're loaded in the heap. The only difference is that they're loaded by spring and not by your code.

*The application context won't be garbage collected because its stored across (and accessible from) the whole web application.
Of course the beans created by this application context can be garbage collected if they're not singletons or something. I know its a vague answer, feel free to refine your question.

*Singleton in its core architecture has nothing to do with a thread safety. Yes, spring provides a 'singleton' bean scope. This means that each time you'll do a getBean call you'll get the same instance, so its a singleton (as long as you manage this bean only in spring). This definition doesn't influence on the design of the bean, so if you, say, create an instance of this class by just calling it's constructor (new keyword), you'll get an entirely different object of this type than that managed by spring.
Its important to understand where the responsibility of Spring as a framework starts and when it ends :)
So if you want your singleton to be thread safe, you should design it to be thread safe.
The best would be doing it stateless, but again, it has nothing to do with spring, so please ask it in a different thread, or just google for "thread-safe design"

*Don't really understood the question, so I can't answer, sorry :(

*Again the thread safety of the bean post processor depends on what actually written there, its your code there, not the infrastructure code.
Hope this helps

Some orphaned British children in Syria to be repatriated
Special repatriation prompts calls for ministers to allow all British children to return
Dan Sabbagh
Thu 21 Nov 2019 14.00 EST First published on Thu 21 Nov 2019 12.26 EST

Britain has taken the step of repatriating a small number of orphaned children from north-east Syria who had been caught up in the conflict with Islamic State, the foreign secretary has announced.
Dominic Raab said the UK government had assisted their return from the war-torn country in a special repatriation that prompted calls for ministers to go further and allow all British children stranded in Syria to come back.
Raab said that the "innocent, orphaned children should never have been subjected to the horrors of war", and added: "We have facilitated their return home, because it was the right thing to do."
Few other details were made available and Raab – keen to strike a humanitarian tone on the the issue – said the children must be allowed privacy and given support to return to normal life.
Dr Abdulkarim Omar, a foreign minister representing the Kurdish-dominated administration in the country's north-east, confirmed the children had been handed over to the UK Foreign Office.
The Home Office has said it would always consider how to repatriate individuals on a "case by case" basis, although authorities have generally been reluctant to help Britons who lived under the "caliphate" to come back.
Last week it emerged that ministers had also decided they would not mount a wider rescue operation involving the use of special forces such as the SAS, implying it was unlikely that other Britons in Syria would be helped to come back.
But one British charity said all British children in Syria should be brought home. Alison Griffin, the head of humanitarian campaigns at Save the Children, said: "We fervently hope this is just the start. There are still as many as 60 British children that remain stranded in appalling conditions and Syria's harsh winter will soon begin to bite."
It is not clear how many of these 60 children are orphans, although some have lost their parents during the years of conflict. Another 60 adult men and women are also in the country, either in refugee camps or prisons for former Isis fighters.
Turkey's invasion of the border areas in October further complicated the situation, prompting ministers to urgently evaluate whether some children could be rescued amid concerns about whether conditions in the camps would deteriorate.
However Priti Patel, the home secretary, and Ben Wallace, the defence secretary, successfully argued that a full rescue operation would pose too great a security risk – an argument that prevailed over Raab, who had wanted all British orphans to be returned.

This is going to be a multipurpose post- showing off a newly finished shot, a before and after comparison, some tips on how it was taken, and also some comments on a fantastic editing technique- Luminosity Masking!
First, and most obviously, the photo up top is a new work, taken a few weeks ago in Las Vegas. This is from the amazing Bellagio fountain, looking out over the strip and the Paris and Bally's hotels. Before seeing it in person, I had heard a lot about the fountain light and water show, but even with the good reviews it did not disappoint!
I took 3 bracketed exposures on the D800 with Nikon's awesome new 20mm f1.8 (!! 1 . 8 !!) prime. What a great, and bright, lens- very small and easy to travel with too. The whole set was taken hand held, and since the lens is so bright, no issues with blur.
For processing, I am starting to more comprehensively use a new method- luminosity mask based HDR. Luminosity masks use selections based on the brightness of each pixel, enabling smoothly blended and infinitely variable masks. In the past I would use lume masks for selective editing, and I would hand blend HDRs with a Wacom tablet- but this method is even more flexible. Photoshop genius Tony Kuyper (http://goodlight.us/), is a lume masking master. I have long used his TK-actions panel (using his "Triple Play" editing masks on numerous photos), but never really for HDRs. Recently, he came out with a new Photoshop actions panel (see the website above, really), making the creation and use of targeted luminosity masks much easier than before. Also, his actions are amazing for editing pictures of rocks/deserts/the American south west- which is why I have gotten back into using them. I'll save more thoughts on using these masks for another post, but for now let's say they are a powerful tool.
Below is a before and after slider with the original, middle single exposure and the new HDR. The HDR I made with this process (also with some hand blending, and numerous other masks, but it's a good start), is nicely blended from light to dark and the masks really help to make both the bright fountain and dark background look realistic.

Just subscribed to your blog, I like that it's upbeat and hopeful..
I too am going thru the S&S program, started late Dec 2016, call me crazy but I'm also working on Rite of Passage for the past 3 mos.
I was really liking your posts on details and challenges in the S&S program. I hit it an average 4-5 times per week and just reached the simple goal 2 weeks ago. I too struggle with inner drive vs. getting enough rest.
Basically I listen to my body and back off when necessary, and believe me at 58 it's necessary at times. I've trained with barbells and dumbbells for 39 years before discovering kettlebells and now feel better than ever. My only regret is not starting 20 years ago.

Whether you are a first time buyer or downsizing for the last time, whether it's a luxury home or basic condo for young adults, I can help you determine the opportunities that are just right for you.
When purchasing the perfect home, you're faced with a multitude of decisions! It's a process which requires patience with yourself, the market and yes, even your agent. Staying on top of, and understanding how to research the current market is a key benefit for my clients.
At your side each step of the way, I'll make the process of purchasing a home easier, more enjoyable, less time-consuming and less expensive than undertaking this challenge on your own. I'll help you locate and assess properties that match your needs, and guide you through the myriad of details of the actual purchase. At the same time, I will ensure that your interests are protected. I will also promote you to sellers ensuring you are perceived as a preferred buyer.
Obtaining a mortgage loan can be challenging as market forces continue to drive policies and controls to manage consumer debt levels and lender risk. So one of the first steps in the purchasing process is to be Pre-Qualified or better still, Pre-Approved, for a mortgage. It is recommended to work with someone you know or who has been referred to you.
Call me and I'll refer you to a mortgage professional who has an excellent reputation and track record for successfully acquiring loan approvals for clients.
To stop paying rent and build equity? To raise a family?
To move up to a bigger house or to take cash out and downsize?
To entertain business associates or be closer to family?
Knowing what price range you can afford is of primary importance. With affordability in mind, I can then help you determine which properties best fit your needs.
Consider area (city, suburban neighborhood, country); community; neighborhood (older and settled or sparkling new); a particular school zone or daycare; recreational facilities.
Ask yourself how much time you are realistically willing to spend commuting to work and check your transportation options.
How much interior space do you really need?
Do you want a newer home, or maybe a fixer upper?
Locating a home for you is multifaceted. Yes, the main source for listed homes is the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) so most homes are online. However, my relationships with clients, other agents and other shared databases also provide me access to unlisted Sellers or homeowners just beginning to contemplate a sale.
My top priority is to make sure that your home-buying journey is pleasant, affordable, and successful. You will never feel alone with my hands-on approach in guiding you along the path.
Contact me today for a No Obligation consultation about what you need, how I can help and…....Let Me Make a Difference For You!


From the time the Narendra Modi government started pushing the Land Acquisition Bill, the Swadeshi Jagran Manch has openly expressed its concerns. The SJM was the first to express its opposition with certain elements in the bill.
After the series of talks it had with the government, the SJM said the bill contains several 'detestable and unacceptable situations.' Once its members deposed before the Joint Parliamentary Committee, the SJM was hopeful of a change in the unacceptable clauses in the bill.
Now that the Modi government has decided not to push those issues, the SJM is happy.
'SJM thanks you for accepting our concerns in land bill,' Dr Ashwani Mahajan, co-founder of the Swadeshi Jagran Manch, tweeted to the prime minister, Bharatiya Janata Party President Amit Shah and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.
Now that the government has decided not include to the changes it wanted earlier in the Land Acquistion Bill, are you happy?
Everything seems to be fine now. We had been opposing first the ordinance and then the bill clause by clause. The first voice that came against the new clauses was from the Swadeshi Jagran Manch.
You spoke to us then. Later, when I interviewed Mr S Gurumurthy, he had said the SJM was in talks with the government on the bill.
After the talks, the SJM issued a statement saying the bill contained several 'detestable and unacceptable situations.' What were the 'detestable and unacceptable' clauses?
Right from the very beginning, the Swadeshi Jagran Manch had said the ordinance was not in the right direction. That was because the SJM felt the three conditions which were removed to make land acquisition easier were not good.
The purposes for which the conditions were waived off, were defence, affordable housing and social infrastructure. We were in agreement with the government in the case of defence and we were also of the opinion that for defence, no condition should be imposed.
There is an established international practice that Social Impact Assessment is a must for any project. It is prudent to make an assessment of the kind of impact a project would have on society, the environment and the livelihood of people. When you make an assessment, you will know how much land is required for a project. So, this is a very scientific way of doing a project.
Our opinion was that if the government felt that Social Impact Assessment was taking time, let them make the government machinery more efficient.
Next was, if the government felt that getting consent from 70 per cent of the farmers was difficult, they should go for majority consent. But consent is very essential; you just cannot acquire land without the consent of the farmers.
About food security. We have about 2.5 per cent of the global land where we can cultivate. As far as the population is concerned, we have about 17 per cent of the world population. Over the years, because of industrialisation, land acquisition, land grabbing, etc, our cultivated land is reducing.
You can't build concrete jungles on agricultural land as we can't live without food. More than Rs 70,000 crore (rs 700 billion) is being spent on imports now.
The SJM told them that as a rule, the government should not acquire irrigated land which gives 2, 3 crops.
We told them that no legislation was final and that they could make changes any time, but the basic principles behind it should always be kept in mind.
The entire Opposition opposed the bill. Was the SJM also with the Opposition?
The SJM is not a political party and we have no intention to be one. The situation was such that we had put forward some suggestions and many farmers' organisations also had made their suggestions. Nobody said we did not want progress, rail or industries.
Everybody was ready to agree with the government if the process to acquire land was a judicious one.
Land is very scarce and very important, that is why we wanted the government to come out with a land use policy. You say that industries need land, but they have left so much land vacant.
Land acquisition is not the major hurdle in the development of the country as an RTI reply says only 8 per cent of the projects are stalled due to land acquisition issue.
All of us including the SJM want industrialisation and development of the country.
Did the SJM feel then that the bill was anti-agriculture?
No, we did not question the intention of the government. We did not say that they worked for a particular section of the society, like the Opposition that says the government is pro-corporate.
The Congress has no moral right to say that the government is pro-corporate. What were they when they were ruling? We did not say that the government is working for the private sector or any individual.
What we said was, the process of land acquisition should be judicious, justifiable and good.
Was it a farmer versus industrialist situation?
No, we did not feel that way. But the process the government had adopted had given it that kind of an image. It was the undue hurry of the government that had led to that image.
In your talks with the government, were they open to your concerns?
Yes, they were. They had felt that certain clauses in the 2013 Act would affect the development and growth of the country. Because they thought like that, they wanted to bring about those major changes.
We raised our concerns, never doubting the intention of the government. We told them that the changes didn't look justified. We opposed them clause by clause.
When the JPC was formed, you expressed your concerns to the JPC too?
All the political parties understood our concerns. The JPC received around 800 plus applications and 51 organisations appeared before the JPC. Out of 51, only two favoured the new bill.
But I want to say again that we should not describe this as our victory or your victory. This was a democratic process and we discussed the issue. It is not that all the people in all political parties know the implications.
The beauty of the whole process was that our democracy is very well developed, and civil society and various organisations are working deeply with issues like these. For example, we were also opposing the Special Economic Zones and acquisition of land in Himachal Pradesh, Odisha and other places.
The 2013 Act was termed as a UPA (United Progressive Alliance) government's Act at that time and even now.
The 2013 Act was not the UPA's Act. In 2013, the bill was passed after 124 years! It took 66 years after Independence to pass the bill.
To create the Act, many minds worked together including that of the BJP. We were also part of it from the beginning and we had made several suggestions to make it better. Some of our concerns were incorporated. It was just that a Congress-led alliance was ruling at that time.
We wanted a land use policy and a balance sheet to show how much land was used and how much land is needed. Our question is: Why should you acquire land? Why don't you take it on lease?
We also suggested that the state governments should have their own laws. And it is expected of various state governments to have their own laws. Land acquisition is a major issue and they should have their own laws.
What happened now is that the government has honoured the people's opinion.
You mean the government was not adamant?
Had the government been adamant, they would not have listened to us at all.
Are you happy now that the government listened to your concerns?
Yes, we are. We asked for something and they are giving us that. But the media is now painting it as the victory of the Opposition and the defeat of the government. They are using terms like U-turn, going back, etc, but I would like to describe this as the victory of the people.
No political party can take credit for this.


More than 25 years have passed since the first of the historic Oslo Accords between Israel and the Palestinian Liberation Organization. What did the Oslo Accords represent, how has the region changed since then, and how does the peace process relate to our community?
To answer those questions, we've convened a panel of academic experts, as well as a pair of everyday St. Louisans – one Israeli and one Palestinian – who were born in the region before emigrating to the United States. Seth Gordon, The Rep's associate artistic director, will moderate.
Join us for a fascinating discussion that will add nuance and background to The Rep's Mainstage production of Oslo. This panel is completely free and open to the public, with no tickets or registration required.

Laura Smiles
"Laura Smiles" is an alarmingly effective portrait of a woman's mental breakdown. We are introduced to "Laura" at her happiest time, in a warm, loving relationship with her fiancé (a very appealing Kip Pardue) in the city, literally the love of her life. In flashbacks, we then see the sweet development of this relationship out of order as these moments become brightly lit and colored memories that desperately intrude on her later in life, as she becomes consumed with guilt and remorse over his fate. These feelings start to overwhelm her current life as a wife and mother. As something inconsequential in what she calls her "suburban drudgery" triggers the past — in the supermarket, cooking, cleaning, at a school play– she acts out increasingly aberrantly to counteract the feelings they generate, especially when she can no longer distinguish past from present from dreams, recalling Blanche Du Bois.


What we're actually talking about is getting useful informational content (as opposed to promotional messages) to our target audience in the expectation that enough will engage sufficiently to recognise us in future and hopefully come back for more and, praise be, be converted to our products/services.
If you're thinking about social media in your law firm, what you're really thinking about (or ought to be thinking about) is content marketing. Create good, legitimate, practical, reader-oriented content. When you've done that, go back and create more. Then more again. Don't even think about designing a blog, opening a Twitter account, starting up a Facebook page, whatever, until you've figured out very clearly what content you're creating, why you're creating it, and who you want to reach with it.
A blog post is an example of content marketing. It's no different from a live presentation, a media interview, or a newsletter article. Either you think content marketing is worthwhile, or you don't. If you don't, pay no attention to blogs. If you do, please be assured, really and truly, that there's nothing unusual or problematic about them.
generating links and boosting traffic to your website.
You'll note that two of the three bullets relate to search engine optimisation and that's certainly central to Sue's advice. If you use a content management system like WordPress (or Blogger etc) to publish content (whether it's a blog, a newsletter or some other type of update site), you have – to an extent – built in SEO.
Of course, there's much more to content marketing than using the right sort of publishing platform. It's what you write (the content) and how you support and promote it (the media) that will make the difference.
Where is all this content marketing going on?
(follow new additions in the More Blawgs feed in the sidebar).
If not blogs, then surely many firms are publishing newsletter-type content? After all almost all websites are now published using content management systems, and all CMS will incorporate most recent-first publishing templates appropriate for blogs/newsletters/articles/updates; so implementing the publishing mechanics is not the issue. There must be many competent and effective if unremarkable efforts, but sadly, for some, basic competence is the issue.
Intelligent, well-thought out and reasoned blogs are great trust influencers – essential for a legal website.
As you state above, if you are going to "do" content marketing – "do" it! And consistently. Too easily is that hard earned trust lost when the visitor discovers that no new blog post has been created in weeks.
I'm surprised more firms don't focus on newsletters / email marketing a little more. I can't remember the last time I saw an email capture form on the website of a law firm similar to the style you see on some internet marketing websites. I'm sure there are some, they're just not as common as you'd expect.
Using them, firms would have a great way to show their new content to individuals and companies who have already expressed an interest in their site by subscribing in the first place. Not only could this result in SEO benefits from linking, but also bring in more business for the firm.
I digitised a Top 30 firm from top to bottom. 7 services lines, 1300 staff and a shed load of newsletters. The best 'open rate' we ever had was 7%. The CTR was even worse. The unsubscribe rate was through the roof – although there was an insistence from Heads of Dept that "our clients tell us all the time that they love our newsletters"!
Content is difficult to produce on an ongoing and consistent basis. Many firms now are ramping up and hiring professional support lawyers and ex-journos who can create material.

I can't wait to use this wig for my Jason Grace cosplay. usually I have to cut and style wigs a lot before they look how I want them to, but for this one all I need to do is style the bangs. I've never found any other wig that is already cut this nicely.
My 4th wig from Epic Cosplay, and they have all been consistently wonderful. This wig is very well made, the style simple and easy to mold the way I want it, and it arrived quickly! I was planning to wear it next year for cosplay at conventions, but everything is coming together so quickly I may have it ready for Halloween! Looking forward to wearing it!

INTERNATIONAL : Chinese Currency Reform Triggers Moves
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Foreigners and companies were scrambling to get rid of a special foreign exchange scrip before it is devalued as part of a New Year's currency reform. For some, the exchange took place smoothly. But customers at the Bank of China, the main bank dealing in foreign currencies, had to telephone bank managers to change their funds because tellers said the computer was down. Meanwhile, the government said it is enacting temporary, lower import tariffs to make up for the expected rise in import prices following the devaluation. The duty on some cars will fall from the current 200% to 150%, state-run television said, indicating that the devaluation may be about 25%.

Suspicious disappearance of Nadire Sensoy
The NSW Government has announced a $350,000 reward for information over the suspicious disappearance and suspected murder of a woman from Sydney's west.
Nadire Sensoy, aged 71, was last seen near her home on Upwey Street, Prospect, on Thursday 6 December 2018.
Her family reported her missing on Tuesday 11 December 2018, with officers from Blacktown Police Command commencing an investigation under Strike Force Admirality.
Mrs Sensoy has not been seen or heard from since. Her family and police continue to hold serious concerns for her welfare.
Mrs Sensoy is described as being of Mediterranean/Middle Eastern appearance, about 165cm tall, of a thin build, and with short dyed brown hair.
As police continue their inquiries, Police and Emergency Services Minister David Elliott has announced a $350,000 reward for information that leads to locating Mrs Sensoy.
"Since Nadire Sensoy was reported missing in 2018, her family have been searching for answers. Someone must know something about her disappearance," Mr Elliott.
"I hope this reward will generate information and assist Strike Force Admirality investigators locate any individual or individuals involved."
Blacktown Police Area Commander, Superintendent Stephen Egginton, said it was out of character for Mrs Sensoy to not be in contact with her family.
"Nadire is very much a family-oriented person – she's a devoted mother to five, grandmother to 17 and great-grandmother to four," Supt Egginton said.
"It's puzzling to say the least that no one has seen or heard from her in nearly two years. Mrs Sensoy is not the type of person to just up and leave without telling anyone.
"Our investigators have been told that, before she was reported missing, she had planned appointments; however, she did not attend.
"We're continuing to follow up all lines of inquiry, including the grim possibility that Mrs Sensoy may have met with foul play."
Mrs Sensoy's daughter, Turkan Alagoz, 53, said she could not believe that her mother would willingly leave behind her family, friends and life without letting anyone know.
"Mum's lived in Prospect for more than 40 years and is well known and respected by all of her neighbours; with some even calling her 'aunty'," Ms Alagoz said.
"She always helps out where she can; whether that be driving them to and from the shops or passing on her baking treats.
"It's been so difficult not knowing where mum is, and not being able to speak with her. Please, if you know where she is or have any information that can help police find her, I beg you to come forward."
The $350,000 reward can be paid for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the suspicious disappearance of Mrs Sensoy.
Anyone with information that may assist Strike Force Admirality investigators is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au. Information is treated in strict confidence. The public is reminded not to report crime via NSW Police social media pages.


OTTAWA — The Liberal government is devoting $20 million to develop projects aimed at preventing gender-based violence in vulnerable communities that have a shortage of support for victims and their families.
Status of Women Canada says the money will go to developing services for survivors in Indigenous, LGBTQ and immigrant populations, as well as seniors, people living with disabilities, minority language communities and those in remote, rural and northern areas of Canada.
The program is aimed at helping smaller, grassroots organizations that might not yet have the ability to tackle a major project.
Organizations have until March 1 to pitch a high-level concept to the government agency, which could then provide up to $30,000 to help the group develop a full proposal.
If that proposal is chosen, Status of Women could give the organization up to $1 million in project funding for up to five years.
The agency says the two-step process cuts down on the amount of paperwork required, giving smaller organizations a greater chance at success.


Have your say about the North Devon Coast AONB!
The public, local agencies and organisations are invited to give their views on the Draft Management Plan for the North Devon Coast Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The AONB Partnership, comprising over 25 organisations and 9 community representatives, decided that the five-yearly Review of the Plan should be a light touch one this year, given the significant changes resulting from new domestic agricultural and environmental policies and the proposed departure from the European Union. As a statutory document, the Plan needs to be produced for March 2019 but many of these changes are still under discussion.
The AONB team has held 'expert debates' with regional and local representatives to update the forces for change and trends that are impacting on the AONB. The Plan includes a vision, objectives, policies, performance indicators and some priority actions, but it has been decided to produce annual delivery plans rather than a five year one, due to the changing domestic and European policy context.
"The Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty are a living and working landscape, protected for the nation and providing a high-quality coast for all to enjoy," said AONB Manager Jenny Carey-Wood. "We really welcome the opportunity to hear from those who live and work in or visit this landscape to set out the priorities for the North Devon Coast AONB now, especially with a once in a lifetime government review of protected landscapes and an opportunity for change with new agricultural and environmental policies."
The Plan can be consulted in several different ways: it is available online through the AONB website at http://www.northdevon-aonb.org.uk/about/management-plan-2019-2024 and hard copies of the report can be seen at the following venues: Barnstaple and Bideford libraries; North Devon Council offices at Lynton House, Barnstaple and Ilfracombe; Torridge District Council at Riverbank House; Combe Martin Museum and Information Point; and Braunton in the Countryside Centre (until 3 November - then at Braunton Library).
The consultation is open until Monday 3rd December 2018 and responses can be provided in writing to the AONB at Taw View, North Walk, Barnstaple, EX31 1EE or by email to aonb@devon.gov.uk. A State of the AONB report is available to demonstrate progress over the previous five years in meeting objectives and indicators.


The UN calls for coordinated search and rescue operations after a boat sinks carrying at least 100 refugees who may have been fleeing Arakan State.
The United Nations refugee agency calls on countries neighboring Bangladesh to coordinate more closely on search and rescue operations after a boat carrying at least 100 people sunk last week.
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) reported on Thursday that an estimated 130 people were on board a boat which sank on its way to Malaysia. Six people were rescued while an unknown number of dead bodies were seen floating in the water after the vessel went down in the Bay of Bengal last Friday.
The survivors were taken to Bangladesh, according to the UNHCR.
"We are calling on countries in the region to coordinate more closely on operations for search and rescue at sea, and to jointly seek comprehensive solutions to the root causes of irregular maritime movements while keeping borders open and ensuring access to international protection for people in need," the agency said in a press release.
Vivian Tan, spokesperson for the UNHCR in Bangkok, told The Irrawaddy on Friday that the victims could have been Rohingya Muslims fleeing sectarian violence in western Burma.
"We have not talked to the survivors from the boat yet. Generally, these people are either migrant workers from Bangladesh looking for jobs elsewhere in Southeast Asia or there could be some refugees from Myanmar," she said.
Advocacy group the Arakan Project, which fights for human rights for Rohingya people in western Burma, reported that some victims from the sunken boat were rescue by local Muslim fishermen on Wednesday.
"Seven people were rescued in the south of Maungdaw Township," said Chris Lewa, the director of the Arakan Project.
The UNHCR says that the number of refugees fleeing the region by boat had already reached a record high before communal strife erupted in Arakan State in June. An estimated 7,000 to 8,000 people undertook the perilous voyage from the Bay of Bengal between October 2011 and March 2012.
There were at least four reported incidents of boats that ran into technical problems, leaving more than 20 people confirmed dead and over 100 still missing from November 2011 to January this year. There are fears that more irregular boat movements could take place in the Bay of Bengal as the traditional "sailing season" of economic migrants begins in November.
The UNHCR expressed concern over the recent sectarian violence in Arakan State and said that if the unrest is not brought under control, more people could resort to dangerous journeys by sea in search of sanctuary.
"The volatile situation in Myanmar's Rakhine [Arakan] State risks pushing many more people to leave than in previous years, with potentially destabilizing effects in other countries," said James Lynch, UNHCR's Regional Coordinator for Southeast Asia.
To restore law and order in Arakan State, meanwhile, the Burmese government has detained more than 1,000 people who were allegedly involved in the recent violence and even confiscated knives and tools that could be used as weapons from local people.
The government reported on Wednesday that 89 people were killed, 136 injured and at least 32,000 made homeless when more than 5,000 houses were burned down from Oct. 21-30.


In a discovery that is being heralded as the most "diverse" in the world, Australian scientists have uncovered 21 different types of dinosaur footprints on a stretch of remote Australian coastline.
Paleontologists from the University of Queensland and James Cook University led the study, which examined ancient rocks along the north-western coast of Western Australia. The findings, which were published in the Memoir of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology, show the area was flush with dinosaurs, some of which would have been the world's largest.
Dr Steve Salisbury was the lead author of the paper, and says that the findings show some footprints more than 1.7 metres in length. The nearest length in footprints previously discovered is only 106cm in length.
a spectacular wilderness setting." The rock formations are approximately 140 million years old, and are a part of the Kimberley region in Western Australia. The area is also of crucial cultural significance for Aboriginal Goolarabooloo people, who believe the dinosaur tracks form part of ancient Dreamtime songlines.
