Electrochemical behavior of ceria with selected metal electrodes
Chueh, William C. and Lai, Wei and Haile, Sossina M. (2008) Electrochemical behavior of ceria with selected metal electrodes. Solid State Ionics, 179 (21-26). pp. 1036-1041. ISSN 0167-2738. http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:CHUssi08

The electrochemical properties of the metal | doped ceria | metal system have been examined by A.C. impedance spectroscopy at a range of temperatures (575-650 °C) and oxygen partial pressures (8 x 10^-26 -0.21 atm). Under reducing conditions, the inverse of the interfacial resistances for both Pt and Au electrodes on samarium-doped ceria (SDC) displayed a p(O2)^-1/4 dependence on oxygen partial pressure and an Arrhenius dependence on temperature with an activation energy of ~2.7 eV. The similarity in the characteristics of the two types of electrode materials indicates that the electrochemical oxidation of hydrogen occurs predominantly at the ceria │ gas interface. Moreover, the behavior, which is similar to that of the electronic conductivity of SDC, is consistent with the hypothesis that electron migration from the reaction site to the metal current collector is the rate-limiting step.

Q: design pattern for data filtering is there any design pattern for data filtering under dynamic conditions.
i am sharing the web application pages and same DataBase and same tables for my customers.
for example i don't want that customer from company A will see the orders for company B, so the filtering condition is done on the company field.
for other pages the filtering can be done on more fields.
i am using store procedures or sql text to fetch the data.
i am prefering that the data filtering will be done by the sql server.

A: I think that storing your business logic at the sql server side is not the best idea. Filterting data in SQL makes your stored procedures / schema design more complicated.
It would be much simpler to do dynamic filtering using some ORM (Linq, HNibernate, etc.) framework.
It is of course hard to recommend something without knowing specific of your project but I would go for LINQ which provides flexible data quering.

A: Pass a company_id to the stored procedure from the application?
create stored procedure GetOrders(@customer_id int)
as
select * from Orders
where company_id = @customer_id;

I forget the exact syntax of stored procs (ugh!), but the idea is sound. That is of course unless you mean something else entirely.

A: What you want is basically an Isolation .
To achieve this you can follow several rules:

*

*Declare on DB StoredProcedures/Views or in code your queries always parametrized by CompanyName, always. In this case you can not invoke any data recovery function without specifying company name.

*Ensure in your queries that only the data specified by the CompanyName and linked to it is retrieved from DB.

*On UI CompanyName again have to be a paramount of your UI interface, and the first thing user have to declare.

Something like this, it's difficult to say something more precise without knowing the project real requirements.
What is about LINQ vs DB,  it depends on your scale. Consider that LINQ will be slower then StoredProcedure or View beginning from certain scale. But this is something that you have to measure.  Cause from comfort point of view LINQ is naturally more preferable solution.

Crucial Five
SLAPSHOT Interview With Jack CHOKE Kelly
For the first time in their long and turbulent history, Boston's legendary hardcore pioneers SLAPSHOT will be gracing our shores in March for a run of six shows along the East Coast. We caught up with enigmatic frontman Jack "Choke" Kelly for a chat about what Australian crowds can expect..
Why has it taken so long for Slapshot to come to Australia?
Personally I've also wanted to go over to Japan and Australia. I'm all about travel and seeing new places and playing to new crowds, but we just never got it together with the right people I guess to get over there.
What lineup will be touring Australia and will people recognize members from any other bands?
Current lineup is John Bean on drums who played drums in a few bands over the years, most notably Bitter and Stars N Stripes. Ryan Packer is in Tenebrae with our guitar player Craig Silverman who played in Ramallah, Blood For Blood and Only Living Witness and of course myself of course on vocals.
What sort of a setlist can Australian fans expect? How much of "Back On The Map" gets a run these days?
Generally we play a lot off "Back On The Map" you know songs like "Chip On My Shoulder", recently we played "It's happening today" and that went down well. We tend to play songs that people want to hear and there are some albums you won't hear a single song from. Occasionally we'll throw something in we haven't played in a while to mix things up. We do have a new record coming out so we may play a song or two off that, but mostly it will be old songs that people will be expecting to hear.
Are you planning on packing the hockey stick for the trip?
No. Occasionally someone will bring one to a show that will end up on stage and I'll pick it up and usually wind up bleeding from it. But when I travel I don't want to pack it in my bags as customs will ask why I'm carrying one.
Everything Wants to Kill You "Australian Tour 7" " by SLAPSHOT
Slapshot have recorded a new song for the Australian tour titled "Everything Wants To Kill You". Would you rather take your chances surviving a shark attack or a crocodile attack in Australia? Why?
Probably a crocodile. I don't really go into the water much, so I'm not really concerned about a crocodile or shark. I don't go swimming. The last time I went swimming was 4 years ago and I live in a beach town. But I think I'd probably have a better chance against a crocodile as it would have to be on land.
You also recorded a Poison Idea cover of "Pure Hate" off the Pick Your King album. Would this be your fave Poison Idea song and album?
Yeah probably. I was thinking about doing an old classic Poison Idea cover so I went through all of their albums and I picked that one.
Did you ever get your banner back from this muppet in Florida?
Yeah we got it back, no big deal. You know. He seemed cool when we were down there and really enjoyed the show. But then ..Yeah.. Meh..
For Slapshot what separates a good show from an average one?
It's different for the other guys in the band. For me it depends on my mood and the mood of the crowd. Sometimes I've had more fun playing to a crowd of 20 to 30 people than I've had a terrible time playing to a packed house. Either way I try to put on the best show I can.
Slapshot is working on a new record. Any estimate on when it will be released and through what label? Taang perhaps?
No this one is not coming out through Taang this time. It will be handled by Brass City Boss Sounds out of Connecticut who will be doing both the new Slapshot and new Stars N Stripes records. We're hoping to have it out by the end of April.
In the early to mid 90's Slapshot ventured into hard rock territory with "Blast Furnace" and "Unconsciousness" before returning to the classic hardcore sound with "16 Valve Hate" & "Old Tyme Hardcore", why the shift in sound during that period?
Well you know after doing hardcore for a few years, everyone was starting to change and do something a little different. You think you're doing what's right, you think you doing what you're into at the moment. Everyone was listening to Soundgarden and Nirvana and the whole grunge thing was getting pretty big. I was really into industrial bands like Ministry. You know what you like to do is probably not what the band should be doing at that period of time and you sort of get out of your comfort zone and do some things that you're into at the time, but maybe some other people are not that into.
If you're a hardcore band just stick to what you know. For "16 Valve Hate" we got our original drummer back, Mark McKay and we thought let's just get back to doing hardcore and it's my favourite record. The new record is kinda along those lines too. A little more thought was put it into, more so than our last two records which I personally feel aren't that great. I blame myself for that. My hardcore heart wasn't into those records. There are some good songs on those records and a lot of people like them, but I just don't think they are that great.
On "16 Valve Hate" you also cover a Smiths song. Are you a Morrissey fan and who are some of your favourite non punk/hardcore bands?
I actually saw the Smiths back in the 80s, but I wasn't a fan. When you're into the hardcore thing when you're young, you kind of devote yourself to only listening to that one style of music. I always appreciated bands like the Smiths or Depeche Mode and that whole new wave style, but I didn't really get that into them until much later when I broadened my horizons. I listen to a lot of the Smiths and if you really listen to the Smiths, there is a lot of heavy stuff in those songs, if you just play them heavy.
There is a version of "How Soon Is Now" we did way, way back floating around somewhere that is not that good. When we were recording "16 Valve Hate" we kind of suddenly decided to do "Big Mouth Strikes Again" and throw it together on the spot. A lot of the songs on that record were written in the studio on the day they were recorded. Was just one of those things were everything kind of came together on the day.
I don't really listen to a lot of hardcore to be honest. I listen to a lot of electronic music honestly. Drum n Bass, trance, my kid got me into dubstep, she is really into it, I'm not as into it but I figure it beats being into Beyonce or Bieber or something..
Which would be more likely, a Negative FX reunion or a Last Rights reunion?
More likely a Last Rights reunion as I like all those guys compared to Negative FX where I don't like some of those guys or really those guys like me a lot less.
What's the latest on the Slapshot documentary release? Is it ever going to see the light of day?
It's now out, you can order it online through Taang. More info over here.
What's your favorite exaggerated story that you've heard about yourself?
My wife would tell you about the time when I wanted to ask her out and she heard I got the name "Choke" because I strangled my ex-girlfriend to death. It's amazing to me, like why aren't I in gaol if I did such a thing? I think that one stands out the most for me.
Have you ever been to Australia before? Any sight-seeing you want to do?
No I've never been before. Honestly I'm kinda a city person so I'm looking forward to seeing the cities. I'm not that into the beach or the wilderness. We went down to Santiago, Chile and I spent a lot of time in Starbucks. I don't know if there are touristy things planned I'll go along with it and take a couple of pictures. But I'm more into the cities and just doing general stuff around the cities.
Any final words or message?
We're finally really looking forward to getting down there. We plan to put on absolutely the best show we can. We hope to show the young-uns there, what hardcore is all about. Better late than never. Thank you very much and see you in Australia soon.

Q: sql query to fetch the records from a two tables Table A
Id    pin    status   etc
1   11  FAILED
2   22
3   44
4   55  FAILED

Table B
id   PIN      msg    counter
1    11      xyz         1
4    55      wsc         10

Table data:  I have 2 tables table A(status,id,pin as columns),table B(counter,id as columns)
I need a sql query to select the records where A.status =failed and also b.counter <10
In final result I need all those records with a.status=failed and B.counter <10 and also fresh records which wont be present in table B.
But fresh records wont be present in table B so the b.counter <10 is not satisfied.
How do I handle this situation?

A: If I'm interpreting this correctly, you want to join tables A and B on the PIN column and you want records with A.status = failed and B.counter < 10.  But you also want records from table A that have no matching PIN in table B?
This may not be the most efficient query but it will get the job done, if I interpreted your requirements correctly.
SELECT *
  FROM A
 WHERE A.pin = B.pin
   AND A.status = 'FAILED'
   AND B.counter < 10
 UNION
SELECT *
  FROM A
 WHERE A.status = 'FAILED'
   AND A.pin NOT IN (SELECT pin FROM B);

Erica sparsa var. sparsa
Erica sparsa Lodd. var. sparsa
Family: Ericaceae
Common names: pink-smoke heath, ker-ker
Erica sparsa is a free-flowering, relatively easy-to-grow, fynbos shrub that produces masses of small flowers in late summer, autumn and winter, that turn the whole bush pink.
Erica sparsa is an erect shrub about 1 m tall. It has many upward-pointing (ascending) branches that are covered in short, ash-grey hairs. Leaves are small and needle-like (linear) and the edges are rolled back until they almost meet under the leaf (sulcate), although this is difficult to see with the naked eye, because they are so small.
It produces masses of small, pale rosy pink to white flowers from late summer to early spring (February to August). They are densely crowded on short branchlets almost completely obscuring the leaves. The calyx looks similar to the corolla and the base of the sepals are fused. The corolla is broadly cup shaped, about 1 mm long, with an open mouth. The style protrudes well beyond the mouth of the corolla and the stigma is cone- to cup-shaped. The anthers are dark purple and do not protrude from the flower, although they can be seen at the mouth.
There are two varieties recognized: Erica sparsa Lodd. var. sparsa and E. sparsa var. glanduloso-pedicellata Dulfer. The latter variety differs from the typical in having glandular hairy pedicels, a calyx that is finely wrinkled and a stigma that is distinctly pin-headed (capitate).
Erica sparsa is not threatened and is classified as LC (Least Concern) according to the Red Data List.
Erica sparsa occurs on the coastal flats and lower slopes from Mossel Bay in the Western Cape to the Albany District in the Eastern Cape and is common in the George and Knysna areas where it forms dense colonies.
The genus Erica gets its name from ereiko, meaning 'to break', either because of the ability of the plant to break up bladder stones or more probably because the stems are brittle and break easily. The species name sparsa is from Latin, and means 'scattered' or 'spotted', but what characteristic of the species it is referring to, is not known.
The common name ker-ker is mimicking the sound made when walking through and brushing past the plants, or the grating sound made by the wheels of a cart driving over the plants. Pink-smoke heath refers to the way the flowers cover the upward-pointing flowering branches, making them look like plumes of pink smoke rising up.
Erica sparsa is most likely pollinated by insects, such as bees. The flowers are visited by honey bees at Kirstenbosch.
Fynbos is a fire-prone vegetation and the plants have adopted various strategies to survive fires, but most fall into one of the two broad categories of resprouter or seeder. Resprouters are those that have an enlarged underground rootstock (lignotuber) that survives and resprouts after a fire. Seeders are plants that are killed by a fire and rely on seeds to recolonis e the area. Resprouting species are multi-stemmed at their base, whereas, seeders are single-stemmed. Only 10% of Erica species are resprouters. Resprouting ericas do not all have a well-developed lignotuber, they have thickened upper lateral roots and vegetative buds on the underground stem base, which is slightly enlarged. Resprouting species store starch in their root tissue. Erica sparsa has a mix of both seeders and resprouters in its wild population.
Erica sparsa is not widely grown as a garden plant in South Africa, although it is available at some retail nurseries and deserves a place in more home gardens. It is grown and sold as a flowering pot plant in some countries. Flowering branches make an excellent, long-lasting cut flower, and it is available in the cut-flower market.
Growing Erica sparsa var. sparsa
Grow Erica sparsa in a sunny position, in well-drained (sandy), composted, acidic (pH 5-6.5) soil. Mulch with well-rotted compost in spring and autumn, and keep root disturbance to a minimum. Grow it in the fynbos garden, Mediterranean style garden, and in rockeries, on a sandy slope, in containers, and it should cope well with windy coastal conditions.
Propagate by seeds or cuttings. Sow fresh seed in late summer to autumn (March/April-May). Use a well-drained, acidic soil medium. Treat with Instant Smoke Plus Seed Primer to improve germination. The seeds are fine and need only a light covering. Water with a fine rose to avoid displacing the seeds. Germination takes 1–2 months. The seedlings are very small and delicate, continue to water gently with a fine rose. Transplant the seedlings into individual bags or pots when they are about 10 mm high and grow on in light shade until they are established. Feeding with a dilute liquid fertiliz er every week, will encourage growth. Seedlings are slow-growing, taking a year or more before they are large enough to be planted into the garden.
Take semi-hardwood tip or heel cuttings in late summer to autumn or spring. Treat with a rooting hormone and place in a well-drained, well-aerated, rooting medium, in a mist unit with bottom heat of ±24oC. Pot the rooted cuttings in a well-drained, acidic soil medium and harden off in light shade for a month or two.

Speaking Matters of Brains in Townships
Kamohelo Mailula 21/11/2022
The lack of mental health education and awareness is worsening in South African working class townships, because communities are not well exposed to knowledge on the subject. The lack of understanding of underlying issues, often childhood traumas, increases the prevalence of mental health disorders, leading to diagnosis when they are not dealt with. Social issues have an effect on one's well-being.
The planning of black townships settlements such as Soweto were designed in a way unfit for human development. Instead, they have had a destructive effect on the black African family structure. This has led to the dawn of new structural habits, creating new forms of social issues and reducing productive activities and movement. This environment continues to shape and influence social struggles within the working class.
In this section of the society a big rate of unemployment is concentrated, there is also an increase in criminal activities, abuse of drugs and alcohol consumption. The abuse of children and gender-based-violence, families dependent on breadwinners and some facing constant debts. These issues can create a toxic environment and impact negatively on individuals' mental state.
In communities like Protea South in Soweto, many people find it difficult to share stories on mental health platforms because they fear that their vulnerability will be exposed. Over the years this phobia developed into a stigma towards mental health. Nokuthula Chabalala, Artist and Dancer at Black Spider Panstsula said, "Trust is what I'm mostly concerned about. What if someone gossips about my problems." Some people argue that most mental health sessions held in townships are not hosted by professionals in the subject and this makes them skeptical about attending.
Rephethile Kgwale (31) who is a founder of Matters Of The Brain (MOTB) organisation founded in 2018, tackles mental health awareness in townships through awareness programmes. Kgwale was diagnosed with bipolar & anxiety in 2011 and has experienced a couple of mental issues. She feels the need to create a safe space for people, especially the youth, to share their struggles. "We should involve the youth mainly in such topics," said the 31-year-old, "They are not given an opportunity to express themselves."
On 23 October 2022, MOTB hosted discussions on mental health awareness at the Protea South Multipurpose Centre. With less than 15 persons attending, the session was dominated by women. The MOTB founder delved deep in her understanding of mental health and sharing her experience with people who attended the session. Kgwale explained how one can be aware if they have mental health problems, giving a contrast between people who often diagnose themselves and why it is important to consult with a psychologist for a personality test.
Being part of various channels of communications such as Khaya FM, 702, ENCA etc in in the period of 2018-2019, Kgwale wants to continue spreading the message. "I want to create opportunities for people who are not getting the space," said Kgwale. She clarified that most people within townships tend to have little to not interest in such platforms as they are not free. "Money is a problem to pay for a specialist," said the founder of the MOTB.
One of the participants at the session, Tobatsi Moloi, felt that, the discussion was insightful. He received a lot of information which is helpful. "It is comforting to share mutual experiences with other people," Moloi said. He added that such movements are important to organise communities, as a lot of people do not have the experience of opening up about their struggles.
Nonhlanhla Makhajane (40), shares on how she wanted to be a psychologist growing up. Despite not having a qualification, she still serves the community on mental health wellness. "I have learned so much in this session," Nonhlanhla said, "I will implement some of this information in my events." The 40-year-old indicated that such awareness should be shared widely. "We need to be patient but still continue spreading the awareness." She added.

Prowse, who was 6 ft. 6 inches tall, starred in a number of movies in the Hollywood industry.
He also starred in movies like A Clockwork Orange, The Horror of Frankenstein, and Jabberwocky.
The news was confirmed by Thomas Bowington, the agent of Prowse.
The actor, who was just 85, passed away on November 29, 2020, after battling a short illness.

Protesters demand end to SmartMeter opt-out fees
They came, they shouted and they delivered nearly 3,000 signatures. But they left wondering if their actions will change anything.
"There's barricades and police, so I'm going to ask very nicely if someone would be gracious enough to receive this," Novato resident Voge Smith said.
Smith started an online petition in February, calling for an end to opt-out fees. Nearly 3,000 customers signed it. Monday, protesters brought the petitions to the PG&E shareholders meeting and tried to get inside.
"We're not looking for trouble, we're just would like PG&E to be gracious enough to accept these petitions from us," Smith said.
Protesters worry the wireless SmartMeters emit harmful radio frequencies. Others say they cause a spike in utility bills.
PG&E is allowing SmartMeter opponents to keep their old analog readers, but it comes at a price: $75 up front, plus $10 per month. Protesters say it's unfair for PG&E to force them to either pay a fee or accept a device they consider harmful.
"This is the tip of the iceberg of the resistance," Santa Cruz resident Joshua Hart said.
PG&E insists the SmartMeters are both safe and reliable, saying radio emissions fall well below federal limits and billing is 99 percent accurate.
While protesters chanted outside, PG&E's new chief executive Tony Earley met reporters inside. He said few customers want to opt out and fees are fair.
"It's like saying everyone get rid of your cellphone because there's a small number of people who don't like cellphones," Earley said. "It would be unfair to charge customers that have SmartMeters the cost of the other system."
PG&E says so far, about 28,000 customers have opted out. The fees will cover the costs of maintaining the old billing system and sending out meter readers.
PG&E did not allow a protest group inside the building, but it finally did allow Smith to enter the lobby alone and hand the petitions to a customer service agent.
"It's my honor to present you this petition asking PG&E to please let us opt out and not pay the fees," Smith said.
We asked PG&E what it will happen to those petitions.
"The petitions are not part of the regulatory process; we do understand they're a statement from our customers of interest and concern and we do want those customers to call us," PG&E spokesperson Greg Snapper said.
"Hopefully someone will be willing to accept the petition, if not I'll keep trying," Smith said.
PG&E did invite SmartMeter opponents to contact PG&E directly and take their case to the California Public Utilities Commission. PG&E promises it will help customers get their voices heard at the PUC.

When Was Penicillin Discovered?
May 12, 2020 by Karen Hill
Penicillin is one of the most important medical discoveries of our time, for it allows doctors to easily treat illnesses and infections that once killed many people.
If it weren't for penicillin and other drugs like it, there would be little a doctor could do for you if you came down with a very bad cold or a serious infection.
Centuries ago, moldy bread was sometimes used as an antiseptic, but no one knew why mold could kill germs. Late in the 19th century, scientists discovered that certain molds and bacteria produced substances that would kill or prevent the growth of other bacteria. These substances are now called antibiotics.
Then, in 1928, an English scientist named Alexander Fleming was working in his laboratory with a culture of bacteria. When a kind of mold, called penicillium, accidentally infected the culture, Fleming noticed that the mold killed the bacteria around it. Further experiments showed that these molds produced a substance that would kill many common bacteria, and Fleming named the substance
penicillin.
What was most important about penicillin was that it did not harm living body cells, as did the antibiotics discovered before that. In 1939, other scientists found a way to purify and strengthen penicillin, and it became available in the United States in the 1940s.

This week "Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1" came out and destroyed the box office. Neither Josh or Sean liked it, but we're really not the audience for this movie or these series of movies. The movie we really wanted to talk about is "Whiplash." In my opinion it is to jazz what "Rocky" is to boxing in that it's good but that's not what it looks like when someone is playing the drums. I liked it the least of the three but I still liked it. Sean loved it.
Sean and I watched "Foxcatcher," we dabble with that a little bit but don't get too into it. Sean saw "The Theory of Everything" and doesn't think it needs to exist. Finally there's Joe Berlinger's "Whitey" which Sean calls the best documentary of the year. It'll ruin your day, that's for sure.
This week "Nightcrawler" came out. Sean and Josh loved it, I hated it but for the same reasons they loved it, so at worst it's effecting. It's a satire on capitalism and it will piss you off. In my opinion character's like this are more evil than serial killers and other murderers.
The other movie to come out this week was "Before I Go To Sleep." Sean's critic friend referred to this movie as "50 First Dates" as a thriller and it probably would have been better if Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore were in it instead of Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman.
Our Undisputed Classic is "Peeping Tom." It's a movie that sticks with you. I didn't like it the first time I saw it and the more I get away from it the more I like it. Sean has it among his favorite movies of all time. You should really check this movie out.
1984 – "The Killing Fields" Josh failed the sleep test and Sean thinks it's over rated.

If you are in charge of marketing for your small business, you know that there are many options available to you. In fact, you may at times feel overwhelmed with your choices. One simple option that is available to you is email marketing. Here are some reasons that email marketing might be a good choice for you.
Email marketing is a good option for small businesses because it is so easy. Most people have an email account and have had this account for many years. The platform itself is simple to use and in general people have a good understanding of how it works. It doesn't take special training or special knowledge. Of course, if you are using a program like MailChimp, there will be a learning curve. Yet these programs are generally pretty straightforward and easy to learn. And of course, in order to get good results, the content of the emails should be relevant and the tactics well-thought-out. But at least the basics will be familiar to employees who are tasked with this activity.
The prevalence of email also makes it likely that many (if not all) your customers will have email. Most people check emails at least daily. Some are in almost constant oversight of email messages. With so many customers and potential customers looking at email you are be confident that your marketing messages will reach its intended target with a high level of accuracy.
Perhaps one of the most attractive features of email is its cost. Sending an email costs you nothing, though this does not mean that you can run a successful email campaign for free. You may need to invest in the content and design of your email marketing campaigns. After all, you want to make sure that the contents of the email are interesting, clear, well-organized, and compelling. If you choose to use an email distribution platform, then there is usually a cost associated with that as well. Using a distribution platform is often worth the expense due to the added capability they provide for you in delivering your emails as well as collecting data from them.
If you're just dipping your toe in the marketing pool, then email marketing is a great way to get started. And for businesses that are well established, email is another tool to take advantage of. Every Whirl Site includes ten email addresses in our standard package with the option to add more if needed. Call us or stop by our website for more information.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then what is a video worth? Obviously much more than even a picture. They are able to show movement, action, and change in a way that text and still pictures cannot. When added to your website, video can quickly bring a new depth and breadth to your communication and customer interaction in these ways.
With videos, you are better able to share your story and yourself. Much human communication is nonverbal, and text and even pictures lose that whole aspect. Videos allow you to introduce yourself is a memorable way to customers and potential customers. This is especially important in a service-oriented business. It is also important in cases where trust is a major factor in buying decisions.
Similarly, video gives you a platform to connect with visitors to your site. Viewers will feel more personally connected to what they have seen. This may make them feel more comfortable calling to ask a question. It can also give them a sense of confidence in your business or organization.
Sometimes it is hard to describe in words how your product works or exactly what your service includes. A video gives you the opportunity to show instead of tell. Give prospects a glimpse at how easy it is to use. Demonstrate the quality of your product by giving them a peak at the internal components. Show them in real life how well the product works. You can also include important information for current customers, such as how to assemble your product or perform routine maintenance.
Just as important as what you see is what you don't see. Behind the scenes, your website is being evaluated and ranked by search engines. There are many things that you can do to improve those rankings, and video is just one. Search engines view video favorably so the addition of a video to your site may get you pushed closer to the top of the page.
When you have interesting content that grabs the attention of viewers and communicates relevant information, people will come back to your website. In general, videos definitely get and keep the attention of visitors. Videos that are clear and informative will make an impact. If you are able to keep adding more videos, visitors will return to see what is new. Increased traffic is always good for sales.
Whirl Sites websites allow you to add all kinds of content, even video, with ease. We are helping small businesses and organizations in the greater Indianapolis area (and beyond) establish a more visible online presence with our well-designed and well-functioning websites. Our streamlined process makes our websites simple and affordable for our customers, and we can have them ready to go in a few days.

Blogs are a big marketing trend right now, but they are more than just a fad. They really can help you reach some of your most important marketing objectives. Here are just 5 things that you can accomplish with a blog.
In you're like most small business owners, you have a lot you'd like to say. You have a brain full of accumulated information that you'd love to share with your customers and prospects. Information about your company, your product, your industry. Blogging is a great way to share this information in a friendly way.
Connect with Customers and Prospects.
One strength of a blog is that it gives you the ability to give customers and prospects information they want and need. While you may know your industry forward and backward, the general public doesn't. They are searching for background information and technical expertise as well as practical applications and tips to make them more knowledgeable consumers and users of your product. With a blog you can communicate what you know with eager consumers.
As you write about your industry, you will naturally be including facts about how your product fits into that industry. Since you know your product really well, you have a great opportunity to share with your readers its best features and benefits. Presenting your product or service within the context of the industry gives consumers the data they need to make an informed decision. Hopefully, that informed decision will result in a sale.
Today's consumer wants to know more and more. They want to know more about how things work, why things work the way they do, how to compare competing products, how to best use products, and just industry-related practical advice. Since you live every day in your industry, you are an expert. You know the things others want to know. If you are willing to share that knowledge in a blog, consumers will look to you as an expert…because you are!
In addition to the natural advantages provided by blogs, there is also a less obvious benefit. Behind the scenes, your online content is influencing your SEO rankings. As you add more content to your website, your SEO will improve. If you are adding relevant content regularly by posting blogs consistently, your SEO ranking will continue to advance. This means that you will be more likely to be found in online searches.
Of course, before you can blog, you need a website with blogging capabilities. All Whirl Sites websites include a blog so you can start writing and promoting yourself as soon as we get your site up and running. Since our websites are built on the WordPress platform, blogs (and all your website content) are easy to post. You don't need any coding knowledge to post blogs on our sites. In fact, if you know how to use Word, our WordPress-based websites will be no problem. Whirl Sites serves customers in central Indiana, including the communities of Carmel, Brownsburg, Fishers, and Indianapolis. We help small businesses and organizations to make the most of their limited resources by providing affordable websites that work smoothly and look professional and appealing.

When you create or evaluate your website, it's easy to make it all about you. What you like, what you want to say, what looks good to you. And that's fine because, after all, your website is a reflection of you. But how much thought have you given to your potential website traffic? As you make decisions about your website, it is helpful to think about why prospects may visit your site and what they are looking for. Here are four reasons people may be visiting your site.
Sometimes people find their way to your website through an online search. These visitors may have never heard of you before. Think of your website as a way to introduce yourself to these visitors online. Others may have heard of your business, but they want to know more. In both cases, you would do well to think about what kind of information about your company will be the most helpful. You also want to be sure that the organization of your site makes sense. Make it easy for visitors to find pertinent information.
Other visitors may not be interested in your business as an entity. They may only care about the products or services that you provide. You want to be sure that you provide relevant information. Anticipate the questions prospective customers may have and then answer them. Let them know how your products or services are superior to those of your competitors. Be sure to focus on benefits that will appeal to visitors personally rather than features that you, as an industry expert, are impressed with.
Another subset of visitors will be familiar with your business and product but are interested in contacting you. They may be current customers who have questions about a recent purchase. Others may be considering a purchase but need additional information. For these visitors, you want to make sure that your contact information is correct, easy to find, and presented in way that makes contact simple.
Finally, other visitors will be customers that know how great your business is. They are simply looking for a good deal that they can take advantage of. Having a special offer gives shoppers a nudge to actually pull the trigger. Can you offer a cost-savings as an extra enticement to buy? Do you have a special package deal that you could promote?
Knowing what visitors are looking for is a good first step, whether you are creating a brand new website or improving your current one. With that insight, you can construct an effective website. If you're ready to get started, Whirl Sites can help. Our professionally designed templates utilize intuitive visuals to direct visitors to key information. We also work with you to develop a simple, straightforward navigation structure to make information easy to find. If you need it, we can even help you develop engaging content. Whirl Sites has worked with businesses and organizations throughout the greater Indianapolis area from Avon to Zionsville as well as across the Midwest.

Chocolate cake is great – few people would argue with that. Ice cream is a sweet treat – ask any kid on a summer day. But together chocolate cake and ice cream are irresistible. The combination of chocolately goodness and refreshing creaminess makes an unbeatable team. Similarly (but with fewer calories), you can create a powerful marketing force by combining your Facebook page and website.
Facebook is a smart way to promote your website and drive traffic to it. Posting on Facebook gives you an opportunity to reach a broad audience. You can take advantage of this reach by linking back to your blog or website. Facebook also has the added benefit of enjoying preferred status on Google searches. This means that your posts using strategic key words should show up closer to the top of the searches your potential customers are making. With any luck (and interest-grabbing posts), those potential customers will then visit your website.
But what if you don't have a website? There are some businesses who choose to operate without a website and count on a Facebook page alone to target customers. However, choosing to limit your business in this way really puts you at a disadvantage. Think about it – one avenue for getting found and reaching people is always inferior to two. Additionally, when you only have a Facebook page and not a website, visitors will inevitably ask questions. Is this a new business? Is this business that small? Is this business shady or unreliable? These assumptions may be invalid but some prospects will still have them. A website helps you to establish your credibility and give you a place to provide more detailed product information.
Maybe you are not getting the visits and leads you need from your Facebook page alone. Or maybe you have a Facebook page and are getting some traction but would like to take your marketing to the next level. Either way, Whirl Sites can provide you with a well-designed WordPress website that is customized to suit your tastes and your needs. We'll help you enhance your online presence whether you're in local Brownsburg, Plainfield, and Zionsville or across the country. Don't miss out on the opportunities for using Facebook and a good website in tandem. Get started now by calling us at 317-892-9435 or visiting us online.
Have you noticed that the world is full of chaos and noise? Distraction is everywhere, and even important messages tend to get drown out by the clamor. Connecting with prospects and customers requires businesses to think strategically. Tools are available that can help you reach your customers, communicate with them, direct them, and gather information about them. In fact, there is one that can help you with all these objectives. It's called a landing page and here's how you can use it for focused marketing efforts.
A landing page is a web page created around a specific offer or event. You can funnel traffic to your landing page by presenting an attractive offer within a marketing campaign. For example, you might offer free shipping or a free gift for visiting your landing page and following the directions. An effective landing page will clearly and concisely communicate what you want your visitors to do. For example, you might ask visitors to give you their email address or mailing address in order to receive what you've offered. With a landing page that is well-thought-out, prospects get just the information that they need – nothing more and nothing less. Presenting an easy-to-understand message, a clear offer, and simple instructions will increase the chances for success.
A landing page is an effective tool not only to communicate to customers but also to gather information from customers. If your offer is valuable to visitors, they will willingly give you the information you are seeking in exchange. This is a great way to capture data about interested customers, which is very valuable. It gives you an opportunity to follow up further with people who are more likely to actually purchase your product or service. In an environment filled with both relevant data and meaningless noise, a landing page connects you with quality customer data and creates sales opportunities with a higher likelihood of success.
So maybe a landing page is a great marketing tactic, but it must be difficult to put into place, right? Well, no, actually they are usually fairly easy to create. This is especially true if your website is built on the WordPress platform. You can add or change pages, including landing pages, with ease and as often as needed.
We build our Whirl Sites websites on WordPress and thus provide you with the perfect backdrop for creating your own landing pages. Landing pages can also be set up on a separate domain that then links to the main domain. So no matter what kind of existing website you have, we can build you a separate landing page linking back to your website. Whirl Sites has experience providing customizable websites and landing pages to customers in the Indianapolis area as well as around the country. Call us today at 317-892-9435 to get started!
Life happens online these days. It's where we work, where we shop, even where we connect with others. Yet some small business owners still wonder if they really need a website. This question hardly deserves an answer, but I'm going to answer it anyway. In short, YES – you do need a website! Need to be convinced? Keep reading for our explanation of 6 website advantages.
A Website Establishes You as a Professional.
While in the past, a website may have been an "extra" that set you apart from your competition, those days are over. Now it is just expected that any reputable business will have a website. Without a website, businesses can seem small, unprofessional, or unprepared to prospective customers. A website lends credibility to a business and conveys the idea of stability, history, and competence.
A Website Creates Opportunities to Introduce Yourself.
What is an introduction worth to you? Wouldn't you love the opportunity to sit down with someone who is interested in buying your product and telling them all about why it is a superior option compared to your competitors? Think of your website as a means to do just that. Buyers who are considering a purchase can access all the information about your product that you choose to put on your website.
A Website Gives You a Chance to Show What You Can Do.
Even beyond the information you share about your company and your product, a website is also an opportunity to actually demonstrate your product with more expanded detail. This can be done through pictures, detailed diagrams, case studies, and testimonials from satisfied customers. In this way, a website might actually provide you with the ability to give more detailed data and specific examples than you would be able to communicate in an in-person meeting.
A Website Expands Your Ability to Make a Sale.
The effectiveness of a website to communicate with prospective customers is accentuated by its availability at all times and in all locations. Whereas a sales employee can only be in one place at one time, your website is there whenever a would-be buyer has an impulse to buy or a question to be answered. Additionally, your website makes you accessible to anyone around the globe. Your reach is virtually unlimited in terms of time and place.
A Website Provides Tools for Cost-Effective Marketing.
Every marketing tactic has a cost associated with it and that cost must be weighed against the potential reach of your tactic. When you send out a mailing, your potential audience is the mailing list. When you place an advertisement in a magazine, your potential audience is the list of subscribers to the magazine. When you have a website, your potential audience is anyone with an internet connection. Since the cost to set up a website is relatively low and there is not much ongoing expense, a website is a highly cost-effective strategy.
A Website Helps You Serve and Stay Connected to Your Customers.
A website is not only beneficial in reaching prospective customers and making individual sales, but it also helps you to serve the customers you already have. You can strengthen customer loyalty and satisfaction by providing relevant information that your customers need or want through blogging or other features on your website. This will also keep you at the forefront of your customers' minds.
If you still don't have a website but realize that you really do need one, it's time to talk with the professional designers at Whirl Sites. We understand that this is both a necessary investment and a fantastic opportunity. By providing you with a website that looks great and functions smoothly, we will help you maximize the benefits of a website. Visit our website to learn more about us.

Conservative Firing Line
Voters choose Trump over evil, media hardest hit
Joe Newby
Share on Gab
Early Wednesday morning, Fox News and others reported that GOP nominee Donald J. Trump won the 2016 election, becoming the 45th President of the United States after defeating Democrat Hillary Clinton, the most evil person ever nominated to the White House by a major party.
News of Trump's victory, however, hit the lapdog media hard. As we've reported time and again, the so-called "mainstream media," known here as the "Democrat-media complex" has acted like the propaganda arm of the Democrats and the Clinton campaign.
Trevor Noah, for example, said: "This is it, the end of the presidential race and it feels like the end of the world."
"I'm not going to lie. I don't know if you've come to the right place for jokes tonight because this is the first time throughout this entire race where I'm officially s***ting my pants. I genuinely do not understand how America can be this disorganized or this hateful," he added.
Newsbusters also noted:
ABC News journalist Martha Raddatz on election night struggled to not get emotional as the night got worse for Hillary Clinton. Speaking of Trump on foreign policy, her voice quivered, "I was also looking back [voice breaks] at an interview Tim Kaine gave. Tim Kaine has a son in the Marine Corps. He was asked, by John Dickerson, 'So if Donald Trump is democratically elected, and your son is serving as a Marine, you wouldn't trust his life under that commander-in-chief? And Kaine said, 'I wouldn't."
Struggling to hold it together, she continued, "That's a pretty extraordinary thing to say [voice breaks] if you have a son in the Marine Corps and you don't trust the Commander in Chief. The people [voice breaks] in the military defend the Constitution."
Variety added:
If Trump prevails, it will amount to "an ideological and electoral revolution that we haven't seen since Reagan," said Fox News commentator Charles Krauthammer. CBS News' Peggy Noonan echoed that sentiment. "It is epic. It is surprising. It's a kind of uprising, a kind of revolt," she said.
CBS News' Charlie Rose was almost whispering as he asked a panel of CBS political analysts if they had "any idea" that Trump would be as strong as he was when the coverage started just two hours before. "It's both cultural and economic," he said of the clear appeal of Trump's message, despite the candidate's polarizing comments about women, Hispanics, Muslims and immigrants.
Fox News' Megyn Kelly observed that the long night ahead may force her to bow out of her scheduled guest co-hosting gig with Kelly Ripa on the syndicated "Live with Kelly" Wednesday morning.
"She's now where we thought he would be," said Fox News' Brit Hume. "The vaunted power of the media is not what it might once have been," he added.
That's because the real power rests with the people, not the media. And the people spoke.
