The Business Guide to Advertising on Instagram
Kristen Hicks
Instagram Advertising Guide
Instagram is now one of the main social media players, but one that some brands may still not be entirely familiar with.
In spite of the image-driven platform's huge popularity, we still hear a lot more about Facebook and Twitter. For a lot of brands though, Instagram is a place you should definitely be.
Why Brands Should Advertise on Instagram
If you're not sure yet if Instagram is right for your brand, here are a few compelling reasons to consider it.
Instagram's audience is huge.
The company reported earlier this year that their numbers had grown to 700 million users. According to Pew Research, nearly a third of all internet users are on the platform. With numbers that big, the chances that someone in your target audience is on Instagram are significant.
Engagement on the platform is high.
While Facebook gets a lot of attention for being the social media site used by the most people, Instagram handily beats it in engagement. Brands see four times as much engagement on Instagram as on Facebook.
And while audience engagement is good for brands in general, the type on Instagram is especially valuable since it leads to action. 75% of Instagram users take some form of action in response to posts on the platform, whether that's visiting a brand's website, performing a search, buying a product, or recommending them to a friend.
It's easy if you already use Facebook.
Since Instagram is owned by Facebook, both social media networks use the same ad platform. If you're already advertising on Facebook, then getting started with Instagram won't require learning much new.
What Businesses is Instagram Right For?
With so many different social media sites and advertising platforms, most businesses can't afford to be everywhere. You have to figure out which platforms are right for your brand specifically. There are two main things to consider to determine if Instagram advertising is a must-have for your brand.
1. Your industry.
Instagram isn't a platform people are likely to turn to when they're researching the best productivity software for their business. For some B2B brands that create products that aren't especially visual, the platform can potentially be useful, but it may not be essential.
On the other hand, there are a few industries that Instagram is essential for. If your products fall into any of the following categories, Instagram should be an important part of your social media strategy:
Basically, anything that's visual and/or relates to hobbies and interests people are likely to want to share pictures of is prime fodder for Instagram.
2. Your target audience.
We've already established that a huge number of people are on Instagram, but they generally skew pretty young. About 60% of adults under 30 use Instagram, while only a third of those from 30-49 and 8% of those 65 and older do. If seniors are your primary target audience, then Instagram is less likely to be important for you than if you're selling products beloved by young adults.
In addition, the platform is more heavily used by women than men. 38% of women are on Instagram, while only 26% of men are. That probably doesn't mean that a brand focused on men shouldn't be on the platform at all, but more that those selling to women should make it a particular priority.
Types of Instagram Ads
There are four different types of Instagram ads brands can use.
1. Photo Ads
Just like they sound, photo ads consist primarily of a photo that will show up in a user's feed. You can include some simple text below the photo and a hyperlinked call-to-action (CTA) that drives people to your website.
2. Video Ads
Video ads can last up to 60 seconds and work a lot like photo ads, but with the added movement. You can still include a bit of text at the bottom and a linked CTA to drive traffic your way.
3. Carousel Ads
Carousel ads are similar to photo ads, but give you the chance to add several photos that customers can swipe to move between. You can add shots of your products from multiple angles or use them to illustrate a story. Like the other types of ads, you can include a hyperlinked CTA, along with some text at the bottom of the ad.
4. Instagram Stories Ads
The Instagram Stories feature gets used by around 250 million people a day. In addition to ads on the main feed, these photo or video ads will show up in between other users' Instagram Stories.
Instagram Targeting
One of the great things about Instagram advertising being a part of Facebook's platform is that they have a huge amount of data and impressive targeting options. You can focus your Instagram ads on specific audiences based on:
Geographic location – If your focus is local, you can just pay to show ads to those in your area.
Connections – You can nurture current relationships by focusing ads on those who have already interacted with your brand in some form – whether through likes, app use, event attendance, or simply following your account.
Job/Industry
Interests – Between activities and profile information on both Facebook and Instagram, the company has a lot of data on what users are interested in.
Behavior – This is based on data for things like how often people click on ads and make purchases online, along with operating systems and devices commonly used.
In addition to all these targeting options, you can also create a custom audience by uploading a list of customers or leads you already have or by allowing Facebook to access data on who has visited your website or interacted with your app.
How Much Does Instagram Advertising Cost?
As on other social media platforms, your cost will depend a lot on the particulars of your campaign. Your cost can change based on factors like your targeting, the day of the week your ad shows, and the type of ad you choose. You can choose between paying on a cost-per-impression or cost-per-click basis, depending on whether your primary goal is awareness or conversion.
The average CPM (cost per thousand impressions) is $6.70, and the average CPC is between $0.70 and $1. As with most advertising platforms, you can set a maximum on your campaigns and bids to make sure you only pay as much as you're comfortable with.
As you could probably guess by this point in the post, Instagram Analytics go through the Facebook platform. You access them in the same place you check your Facebook ad analytics. Instagram provides metrics at the campaign, ad set, and individual ad levels. You can see your ad's reach (how many people viewed it), engagement levels (clicks), and how that relates to the amount spent on it. You can also see how results break down by device type and demographics.
How to Get Started Advertising on Instagram
If you're already advertising on Facebook, then head to your Facebook Ad Manager. If you're not, click Create an Ad on Instagram's business page, and you'll be directed to Facebook's Ad Manager (and pre-logged in, if you're already logged into your Facebook account).
Once there, your first step is to choose your objective from one of the options provided.
Then you can name your campaign and start getting it set up.
Choose your country, time zone, and currency.
On the next page, you can define your audience targeting, choose where you'd like your ads to be seen, and set your budget.
Finally, you can choose to create an ad anew, or select a post you've already shared to be turned into an ad.
Once you've started, do some testing to get a feel for which types of ads perform best. Pay attention to your analytics so you can tweak your approach as you go for better results. Even though the backend is just like Facebook, Instagram is a distinct platform that won't work in quite the same way as any of your other advertising channels. So take some time to figure out what people respond to there so you can get the most out of it.

Pub Visit - England
Rawtenstall, Lancashire:
Northern Whisper Brewery Tap
Visited on: Saturday 25th January 2020
Northern Whisper is a brewery that has come a long way in a very short time. The initial story begins in 2012 when Carmelo Pillitteri installed a small brewery at the back of his family's restaurant, Nino's at Cliviger, just south of Burnley. It was called the Fighting Cocks Brewery and was well regarded.
The history of Northern Whisper started in a strange way during October 2016 when brothers Josh and Barny Vines asked him if they could use the spent grain to feed their rare breed pigs on their farm in Helmshore.
Not long after, whilst arranging a collection from the brewery they received a text asking them if they were interested in starting up a brewery with him.
From their regular visits Carmelo knew they had an interest in beer as they had ran festivals on their family's farm. Things began to speed up considerably after that.
A premises was found in Cloughfold, in the Rossendale Valley that was formerly the home of slipper maker Response Footware.
Their brewery is ten barrels (bbls) capacity and started brewing in July 2017. Things really picked up speed after that. The Rawtenstall Tap Room, the subject of my visit today, opened in October 2017 in the former home of AB's Furniture Store, alongside Rawtenstall's open and indoor markets. Next up was the bar and bottle shop at the brewery in Cloughfold.
Ingeniously, the Chatterbox Bar at the brewery really is in a box, literally. A "box" is the name given to shipping containers in the logistics and distribution world. So this recycled "box" has become a chatterbox when drinkers gather within it.
There is a small bar at one end and it seats thirty customers comfortably. There are varnished wood tables and cushioned benches and seats. Very large windows let in a lot of light.
On 31st July 2019 the next Tap Room opened in Colne. It's located in a former NatWest Bank and has all the features of the Rawtenstall operation plus one more, as it serves food. Hot Dogs and Hamburgers are offered using meat from the Vines family farm.
Other Taps are promised in towns around the area. Who's not betting against the news that they are going to extend their brewing capacity, they'll have to soon!
Entering the Rawtenstall Tap I found it hard to believe that it had a previous use, it looked as if it had been custom-built. The building is set back from the road and the area up to the front door is used for al fresco drinking. There are four upright wooden barrels on the left and three circular wooden circular tables with fitted benches of the type often found in beer gardens.
Inside I could see that there were four booths on the left side with a shelf with tall stools on the right. After that the room opens out. On the right is a large low table surrounded by fitted seating of upholstered blue leatherette.
Large windows on the left bring a lot of light into the pub. In front of these is a shelf with a lot of low stools. In the middle of the room are two low wooden tables with small benches
The long bar counter is on the right. Interestingly there are no bar stools along and to reinforce the message that for serving drinks only are the double yellow lines painted on the floor. A good idea; many a time I have been frustrated by bar-hugging drinkers blocking the view of the pump clips.
Not that I'd be doing that here as there is a very large sign above the bar listing all the beers and ciders. The walls display bare brick and the bar is made of the same.
There were four regular Northern Whisper beers plus two seasonal / specials. One of these was Fine Fettle (4.6%), a strong mild ale.
The other was a special made in conjunction with the Wily Fox brewery of Wigan in Greater Manchester. This was Corker (4.8%) made with Champagne and French Saison yeast. The hops were Ekuanot and Cascade on a base of golden malt. It is described as a Hazy Champagne Saison.
The beers from the core range were Beltie (4.8%), a stout; Blighty (3.8%), an English bitter; Oppenchops (4.0%), a golden ale and Yammerhouse (4.5%) an American Pale Ale.
There were also three ciders from Talking Horse Cider of Herefordshire: Talking Horse (5.0%), a traditional cider; Raspberry Kick (4.0%) a fruit flavoured cider and Forest Fruits (4.0%), also a fruit flavoured offering. Additionally there were a large number of keg beers.
This was a very rewarding visit and I can't wait to go to the other two outlets.
Northern Whisper Tap Room, 18 Newchurch Road, Rawtenstall BB4 7QX.
Web: northernwhisperbrewingco.co.uk
Hours: Monday-Tuesday: Closed; Wednesday-Thursday: 12.00-23.00;
Friday-Saturday: 12.00-24.00; Sunday: 12.00-22.00.
The pub looks out over the market so this is where you should be heading for.
The town has a railway station on the East Lancashire Railway and this is a good way to arrive.
However, it doesn't run every day. From the railway station entrance walk up Bury Road.
This changes into the dual carriageway St Mary's Way walk along then turn right into Bank Street.
This is the main street of Rawtenstall. Walk to the end. The market is opposite, the pub is to the right of it.
Probably the best way to get here, at least from Manchester is the X43 Witchway express bus.
It runs every 15 minutes Monday to Friday, half hourly in the evening.
On Saturdays it is every 15 minutes till 16.00, half hourly thereafter.
Sundays is half hourly, finishing at 21:00.
From the Bus Station, walk out the back into North Street, turn left into Kay Street.
At the end turn right into Bank Street and follow the directions given above.

Benissa is a beautiful town of 11,000 inhabitants located in the Valencia region between the towns of Calpe and Jávea in the Comarca de la Marina Alta. The nearest airport is in Elche - Alicante 85km and Valencia 95km to the north.
Like its neighboring towns Calpe and Teulada-Moraira, Benissa municipality, despite being a small town, it is a very demanded destination by tourists. Its 4 km of coastline offer quiet beaches and wild coves of crystal clear waters that attract every summer many visitors in search of family tourism and a more intimate holiday away from mass circuits.
Benissa is a town of small dimensions but hides a very interesting old town of medieval origin and a number of monuments. A lovely place to stroll visiting its narrow streets, nice restaurants and shops.
The city holds the Iglesia Parroquial de la Purísima Xiqueta, which is worth a visit. This beautiful and majestic work is visible from almost all of the municipality. It was built around 1900 and is located in a pretty square in the center of Benissa.
If you get to Benissa you cannot avoid visiting its ecological walk, a trail four kilometers of low intensity that starts from Casa dels Cent Vents in the routes of the North or the South. It passes through cliffs, pines and sea views, where you can visit all the beaches while learning about geology, botany and history of the area through its informational panels. It is an ideal place for a family walk and you can do it throughout the year given the good climate of the area.
Benissa has a privileged Litoral with over 4 km of coastline which include beaches and pristine and wild coves composed by sand but also by stones and boulders. Here are its rocky sea bottoms, particularly important as they host a rich fauna and underwater seagrass meadows.
The traditional saying goes: "en Benissa polp i missa". The gastronomy of the town has a protagonist who is the octopus. In pout or cooked, the octopus coquero replaces meat in many dishes. In any case, like the term, the sea and the mountains makes your kitchen a varied menu. The offer of rice is almost infinite, and among its typical dishes include 'mullador of sangatxo', the 'mullador of pelleta', the 'borreta de melva' or blood with onions. For sooner or later, the grape grants two wines: Muscat and sweet wine. Sausages deserve special attention. Handmade with ancient recipes, they have achieved fame for its excellent flavor.
The first thing a visitor sees when he comes to Benissa is called Catedral de la Marina Alta, a white and majestic neo-Gothic church that stands above all the buildings of the population. Interesting is the center of the village with medieval origins, as proved by the building of La Lonja, Orduña Palace and the convent of the Franciscan fathers that is of high cultural value.
Benissa also has a small marina located on the beach of Les Bassetes located almost on the border with Calpe, as well as a diving club and a restaurant with fantastic views of the Peñón de Ifach.
Baladrar is a nice beach 300m in length in the northern part of the municipality of Benissa. It is located in a totally natural environment of great beauty, where plants and pines reach to touch the sea that give a special charm. It is a pebble beach with crystal clear waters and a seabed rich in wildlife that make it an ideal place for diving.
Cala Fustera is a nice sandy beach about 110m in length featuring playground facilities, it is undoubtedly the busiest beach town. Along the beach promenade we are part of a long-distance path such as the GR that runs along the coast. Cala Fustera is ideal for lovers of water sports, diving and underwater sports.
Cala Llobella is a small beach just 100m in length and can be considered untouched and wild. It is the ideal place for lovers of peace, seeking beaches away from the crowds. The beach is made of small stones and boulders. Access is a little difficult.
Playa de les Bassetes is the most southern one and is a small cove 100m long of rock and stones. It is an area of great natural beauty with a very rich sea flora and wildlife perfect for diving enthusiasts. It has a marina and a restaurant. It is ideal for families looking for tranquility.
If you drive, you should take exit 63 of the AP-7 motorway which is close to the municipality.
To travel by plane, the nearest airport is Altet in Alicante located 73 km away corresponding to approximately 52 minutes away.
We also have the option of arriving by plane via the Manises airport in Valencia located 105 km away from Benissa which corresponds to a 1 hour flight.
Benissa is a small town on the Costa Blanca of no more than 11,000 inhabitants, but do not be fooled by appearances since in recent years it has developed a good tourist infrastructure and a large number of hotels, campsites and apartments. You can always stay in some of the city hotels, but if you are looking for freedom, comfort and an affordable price, then it is best to stay in one of our apartments or villas in Benissa. Just do a search on our website to find many interesting options for the whole family.

Since 2003 this publication has provided the framework for teachers' pay in England and Wales, comprising the School Teachers' Pay and Conditions Document (the Document) and statutory guidance. The latest version, STPCD 2017 came into effect on 1 September 2017.
Conditions of Service for School Teachers in England and Wales.
This revised edition of the Conditions of Service for School Teachers in England and Wales ("the Burgundy Book") takes into account developments in national conditions of employment over the past ten years and changes to the legislative framework for the employment of school teachers in county, voluntary controlled, voluntary aided and special agreement schools, as defined in paragraph 2 of Section 2. The agreement covers the general field of "conditions of service" and represents the national agreement between the six teacher associations and the local education authorities.
All teachers, including headteachers who are timetabled to teach, should have guaranteed time within school sessions to plan and prepare for their lessons and to assess pupils' work. The time must be a minimum of 10% of their timetabled teaching time and the time should be clearly marked on the timetable. The use of this time is under the direction of the individual teacher and it is guaranteed. It cannot be used for any other activity, including cover. This provision can be found in paragraph 52.5 of the STPCD 2017.
Members should refuse to provide any cover, including being asked to take pupils into their class or group from other classes where the teacher is absent (split-classes). Cover is not a good use of the time of teachers at the school. Absence, triggering cover, occurs when the teacher normally responsible for teaching a particular class is absent from the classroom during the time they have been timetabled to teach. The absence could be for a variety of reasons, including internal and external reasons, as well as sickness, all of which could be foreseen. It could be short or long term. Members should not cover for any absence.
Under para 51.9 of STPCD, no teacher employed part-time may be required to be available for work on any day of the week or part of any day of the week on which the teacher is not normally required to be available for work under their contract of employment (whether it is for the purposes of teaching pupils and performing other duties or for the sole purpose of performing other duties).
It should be noted that under para 51.10 a part-time teacher may be required to carry out duties, other than teaching pupils, outside school sessions on any day on which the teacher is normally required to be available for work (whether the teacher is normally required to be available for work for the whole of that day or for only part of that day).
The context for performance management is the primary legislation in the Education Act 2002 and associated regulations for appraisal. Since 2002, all schools, and local authorities for centrally attached staff, have been required to review annually the performance of teachers and headteachers.
– teachers and headteachers employed in academies.
The NASUWT have produced an audit tool (downloadable pdf) to check the school policies on Performance Management and Pay. Any school policy not conforming to the audit should not be agreed without first taking advice.

TV ReviewsThe Vampire DiariesSeason 5
The Vampire Diaries: "Monster's Ball"
Carrie Raisler
The Vampire DiariesSeason 5
"Monster's Ball"
What is happening on this season of The Vampire Diaries, really? The first five episodes, while mostly entertaining, have contained a lot of different plot threads and ideas, but nothing seems to be emerging as a central theme or even main focus yet. It somehow still feels like the show hasn't shifted gears from its season five premiere, stuck in setup mode for all the big reveals that are sure to come later. But how long is the show going to set things up before finally knocking a few things down?
The biggest thread is obviously Silas and the increasingly complex quest to kill him/side with him/stop him from killing Katherine/help him kill Katherine/use him to resurrect Bonnie/send him to the other side/destroy the other side/listen to him be a snarky delight. Since his introduction to the show, Silas has basically been an excuse for multiple plot machinations with very little actual character to go along with them. The introduction of Tessa (look, Quetsiyah is annoying to spell so I'm just always going to call her Tessa) to fill in his back-story a bit gives just a tick more shading, but his story is still mostly about what he wants with very little on why he wants things. He wants Katherine's blood—all of her blood, it turns out—so he can turn mortal and then die. That's just not a very interesting character motivation.
But what it is giving the show is halfway decent stories for the people revolving around him. Even though her scorned lover motivation is ultimately a bit tiring, Tessa has been a lively addition to the show (based almost solely on Janina Gavankar's deliciously over-the-top performance). Damon also finally gets a bit of something to do by conspiring with Jeremy to use Silas to bring Bonnie back from the dead. The real winner in the Silas sweepstakes, though, is Katherine Pierce.
Season five's Katherine-becomes-human story has been its strongest thread for a few reasons. First of all, Nina Dobrev's performance as Katherine is one of TVD's very best things, and the more we get to see her do it, the better. Secondly, Katherine herself is just an inherently interesting presence in this world, with a distinct and compelling dynamic with almost every other character. It's the type of thing that elevates everything around it. Finally, stripping Katherine of her invincibility takes all of the above elements and boosts them to the next level, with an extra added dose of humor from watching her adjust. The reveal tonight that Nadia was Katherine's long-lost daughter isn't necessarily a big shock—I'm pretty sure someone in the comments here predicted it after the season premiere—but taking everything we know about Katherine, adding humanity, and throwing in the physical reminder of her very first heartbreak in life is bound to be a great thing.
This is why at the end of the episode, when a remorseless Damon feeds Katherine to Silas in a lame attempt to make him mortal again so he can bring his girlfriend's best friend back to life, I can't imagine anyone was rooting for Damon and not Katherine. It's nice to see Damon do something active and not toothless for once, but if this show is going to give us a choice between a live Katherine and a live Bonnie, I'm choosing Katherine every time. The show seems to recognize this very thing, sinking to near silence as Katherine's heart stops, and then ramping back to life when Damon and Elena hear her heart start beating again. Katherine appears to be alive, but is she somehow a vampire again? Or is she something else, some sort of immortal human made that way by drinking the cure?
The Katherine arc was the highlight, but there were many more disparate threads throughout the episode. First is Dr. Maxfield and his vampire experiments of doom, which have a Buffy season four stink to them that's kind of hard to shake. In the season premiere, the death of Elena's roommate Megan and the knowledge that she somehow had a picture with Elena's father was a nice, intriguing bit of mystery for Elena to solve. Here, as Elena gets closer to Dr. Maxfield and we meet Dr. Maxfield's son, Aaron, who has people die all around him like he's the male version of Elena Gilbert, things are looking a bit less inspired.
Most of this is because the show is struggling with just exactly who Elena Gilbert is as a vampire. All of season four was dedicated to the sire bond and her turning off her humanity switch, but very little has been done to show exactly how this Elena is different than the Elena we knew for three seasons. Last week, Elena mentioned to Stefan that they broke up because she became a vampire and it changed her, but how? The season premiere looked like it was going to establish vampire Elena as much more freewheeling and fun-loving, but Bonnie's death took all the wind out of those sails immediately. If the show wants Elena to remain the main character and wants to truly explore her relationship with Damon, it must devote some thought to what being a vampire means to her. One step in the right direction: She certainly didn't object when Damon basically killed Katherine to resurrect her friend. Don't sweep this under the rug, TVD. Do something with it. Evolve.
The final disparate thread here is Caroline and Tyler and finally dealing with the long-distance nightmare that has been their relationship for the last year. It's clear the writers haven't known what to do with Tyler since his quest to help the hybrids break their sire bonds to Klaus back in early season four, so when he showed up here, it was almost a given that he would be leaving again. This might not be the best sign for this episode, but my absolute favorite part was the moment where Tyler said he was going to get revenge on Klaus, which means it shouldn't be too long until we see Tyler pop up on The Originals. Tyler's fight to free himself of Klaus was always his best story, so it's nice to see it live on, if on a different show.
This episode was perfectly fine, in a season five that's been full of fine so far. What I'm waiting for, and what I hope this Katherine story is going to bring, is the thing that elevates it beyond the fine to the fabulous.
I really thought we left the diaries behind when Elena burned them. No more diaries!
Caroline and Tyler don't do much for me, but Candice Accola broke me during her big "Leave Whitmore and perish" speech. She's damn good.
Did Matt spend the episode watching that tape of him turning into Gregor over and over again? In slow motion? (No, wait, that was me. Carry on.)
Tyler and Caroline's Bonnie & Clyde costumes were pretty great. And Dr. Jekyll for Dr. Maxfield? GET IT? DO YOU?
Damon's "Eh, what are you gonna do?" look when he snapped Stefan's neck the first time was perfect.

Preview: Brentwood Town vs Farnborough
Posted on Friday, December 4th, 2015 at 07.00.
It's a six-pointer at The Brentwood Centre this weekend as Farnborough face Brentwood Town in a massive Ryman League Premier Division fixture, kick off 3pm.
Farnborough Camp
Ahead of Saturday's trip to Essex, Farnborough were boosted with a 1-0 Home win over Hendon at the start of the week.
Bogdan Vastsuk's second half winner took Spencer Day's side onto 16 points, but the Yellows still occupy 22nd place in the Ryman League Premier Division table.
Three points this weekend would see Farnborough leapfrog their opponents, Brentwood Town and rise one place to 21st.
Two more new additions joined the Squad last week, with striker Jamie White returning on loan from National League South side, Gosport Borough, and midfielder Andrew Jenkinson joining following his recent departure from Maidenhead United.
Speaking to GetHampshire after Monday's victory, Manager Spencer Day said: "It's a massive week for us. It doesn't define a season but if we can follow up this result with a result at Brentwood on Saturday then it makes our task a lot more manageable for the rest of the season, and hopefully we can start playing our football again.
"We haven't played well yet we've got 10 points from 12 at home. That's a massive plus for us and this was a massive three points.
"In the first half we could have been three down. It was as bad a first half as I've seen from us. We had to keep changing the system to try and get a foothold in the game and, to be honest, I was thrilled at half-time to go in 0-0.
"I'm concerned it takes an 18-year-old Academy boy in Ryan Zidyana to lift the tempo but we were better in the second half. It wasn't pretty at times but we put our bodies on the line and, in the end, a wonder goal has won it."
Farnborough last time out (vs Hendon): Aaron Bufton (gk), Jack Barton, Freddie Grant, CJ Fearn (Capt), Gary MacDonald, Darryl Siaw, Andrew Jenkinson, Lewis Collins, Bogdan Vastsuk, Jamie White, Nicholas Brown, Ryan Zidyana, Dean Joseph-Whittingham, Josh Francis, Harry Knight and Germeine Dua.
IN FORM: Striker, Bogdan Vastsuk has scored six goals in nine competitive games
Opposition Camp
Managed by George Borg, Brentwood Town currently sit in 21st place with 18 points from 19 games.
The Blues were last in action on Saturday 28 November, suffering a heavy 4-0 defeat away to Needham Market in the Ryman League Premier Division.
Speaking to Brentwood Gazzette this week, Manager George Borg said: "We've got players that aren't really fit enough for this level and this is what's going to happen," said Borg. "I can only lead the young lads so far and they need to do the right things on the football pitch, which does take time and it's frustrating.
"Hopefully we can settle the side down and we can get a formation that we like and, with a bit more luck, start getting some results.
"We're starting from square one really because when Dean [Holdsworth] left, other players had gone as well but I'm hoping a couple of them will come back.
"They're good players and they shouldn't have left the club but my biggest concern is our fitness and that's why we're conceding goals.
"Dean had the squad intact that he had but when players went to see him about not playing he just let them go.
Borg stated: "It doesn't matter who you play against, top or bottom, what you have to be is prepared to go out there and work your socks off and give 100 per cent to try to play as well as you possibly can," he said. "I don't talk about opponents because I'm not scared about playing anyone whether it's against top or bottom.
"Unlike Saturday, we've got to stop these silly mistakes when the ball is ending up in the back of the net and that's where I do need to bring in a few experienced players."

The centre of Brentwood is approximately 1½ miles from junction 28 of the M25. From the eastern end (Wilsons Corner) of the High Street, turn North into Ongar Road. At the third mini roundabout take the right hand fork into Doddinghurst Road. The Brentwood Centre is a further half a mile, on the right just after the A12 bridge. Once you enter the Centre the football ground entrance is in the far right hand corner of the car park. There are normally vast amounts of parking available, but beware when special events are taking place at the Brentwood Centre, as the car park can then become very congested.
Brentwood station is on the Great Eastern Line, approximately 35 minutes from Liverpool Street, and is about 1¾ miles from the Brentwood Centre.
The No. 73 runs approximately every 15 minutes from Brentwood station, via the High Street and Doddinghurst Road, to the Bishops Hall Estate, turning off into Elizabeth Road opposite the Brentwood Centre. The station is about 10 minutes walk from the High Street from where the 261 runs every hour, on the half hour, to The Brentwood Centre.
Enjoy the game!


Close your eyes and visualize beautiful island blossoms, for you will never believe this true story.
Unlike most people, I was truly excited to vote in this election. Really, for the first time in my life I was excited to vote. Previously it had always been a civic duty. After voting, I stood at the polls for a couple of hours talking with people. It was very apparent that other people were very excited to vote. My town had something like an eighty five percent turnout. I had a nice chat with a Hillary lady, and gave a Trump sign to another lady who was thrilled to hold it. Previously to that moment she had kept her politics to herself and her father. I mostly listened, but I did share a few of my campaign experiences.
During this campaign I was quietly determined to show my support for Donald Trump. I am not comfortable knocking on doors or making campaign calls. So I figured I could put up some campaign signs. During the primary I had disappointing results putting up signs, but I learned that it was OK to put them on State Roads. So I put out a dozen Trump signs along State roads where there were other campaign signs. In a matter of days they all disappeared. I was heartbroken. The other signs were there, but the Trump signs were gone. They even disappeared from the end of my driveway. I thought there might be a local nut.
I talked with other Trump supporters and they all had the same problem. Trump signs had a half life that could be measured in a few days. There was a shortage of Trump signs in the county. To help with the cause I drove across the state with my Truck to get a load of twenty four by eight campaign signs for the county. Local volunteers started to put up the big signs with the thought that big signs would not disappear. Wrong. A call was made to the police, and the next day the was a front page photo made the local paper showing a small Hillary sign that was run over by a car. There were a few large Hillary signs in town, and none were vandalised. Trump supporters have respect.
Demoralized I had given up on signs, I would only drive my Trump Truck, defensively. Why plant signs when they would only be ripped up by the roots. New Hampshire was a battleground state. Then during the last week, Claremont was listed as a battleground city. The superpacs converged. Superpacs of all affiliations. Signs were sprouting up everywhere. Little barren traffic islands that had just a few signs now had hundreds.
Great big beautiful Trump signs started springing up alongside the state roads. Financed by small donations from around the country these beautiful signs had the half life of a few hours. The few Hillary signs in town suddenly become decorated with with big pink signs proclaiming "Her Lies Matter". This was war.
As I drove my Trump Truck, I was pleased. I could see, at times three big beautiful Trump signs at once. I could see hundreds of smaller Trump signs at a time. Then there were the thousands of other signs. Suddenly these were different roads, more colorful than the peak of autumn foliage. In the city of Claremont the traffic islands blossomed with color.
Encouraged, the night before the election I placed my remaining signs discreetly on the roads leading to the local polling station. Once again I was going to play my small part. It turned out that my candidate Trump won the national election. I was pleased. Today it was announced that Trump had very narrowly lost the State of New Hampshire. For that I was sad. But then I received an email from the Trump county chair. It turned out that Trump had won the country. A long time blue county had turned red. For that I was happy.
I do not care what you're political affiliation is. However if there is ever a battleground city in a battleground state nearby, take a drive. It is truly beautiful. Today I went to retrieve the last signs I had put out. They were all gone. Beauty in politics is rare, and fleeting. I wish I had taken pictures.

Paul Muite: 4 IEBC commissioners justified to dispute results
"I ask that this court upholds the position of the four commissioners," he said.
• He urged the Court to consider their position, being the majority, saying in a corporate entity such as IEBC, in the absence of consensus, the law directs the majority decisions to win.
• "I ask that this court upholds the position of the four commissioners that the results that were announced, were not the results tallied and verified by the Commission."

Senior Counsel Paul Muite on Wednesday said the 'four rebel' IEBC commissioners were justified in disowning the presidential results.
During his submission at the Supreme Court on Wednesday, Muite said the four did not break any law by distancing themselves from the declaration made by Commission chairperson Wafula Chebukati.
"I would like to submit that the four commissioners were fully justified in saying, we cannot own results we have not tallied and we have not verified," he said.
He urged the Court to consider their position, being the majority saying in a corporate entity such as IEBC, in the absence of consensus, the law directs the majority decisions to win.
"I ask that this court upholds the position of the four commissioners that the results that were announced, were not the results tallied and verified by the Commission."
Muite pointed out that the law directed that the tallying and verification of results was the Commission's mandate, not the chair's.
He said the legal notice that appointed Chebukati as the Presidential Returning Officer was unconstitutional.
"It contradicts the Constitution and the Elections Act," he added.
The SC said there was no meeting by the electoral body to appoint Chebukati, as he did it himself.
"So quite apart from the fact that it was unconstitutional, it did not have the authority of the Commission," he said.
The four are Vice chairperson Juliana Cherera and commissioners Irene Masit, Justus Nyangaya and Francis Wanderi.
Just before the results were declared, they held a press briefing rejecting the results.
"Some things need to be put out there as you can see the four of us are here and not at Bomas where the results are going to be announced because of the opaque nature of how this phase has been handled," Cherera said while addressing the media at Serena hotel on August 15.
"We therefore cannot take ownership of this result that is going to be announced," she added.

Winter is here but let's get back to warmth and almost bare legs with this prints matching look.
Stripes are always a safe bet as long as you don't become too classic. The fashionable ones are the verticals. Not that you will have to give up on your marinière -it's an all-time piece- but if you have not tried vertical stripes yet then you should jump into the trend. You can find them on a various range of clothes: trousers (especially the large fluid ones and a little less on tapered ones now), shirts, jumpsuits shorts, skirts and dresses. I think it's been 3 years now that stores are full of trendy stripes, varying in sizes and colours.
Here I let you appreciate an overall striped look so that you can see that stripes can work with other stripes in a same look. It's a matter of size and colours and you can play with both. For my look, each piece on its own is quite simple but put together, they look way more in vogue.
Plus, we do not forget to enhance the overall with a perfect reptile -hit print of this winter- mini bag!

Q: Strip String without whitespace I have a string, and I want to split into three parts.
Eg:
s = 'fever=40'

I want to split s into ('fever', '=', '40').

A: Use the partition method for string objects:
>>> s = 'fever=40'
>>> s.partition('=')
('fever', '=', '40')

From the documentation:

str.partition(sep)
Split the string at the first occurrence of sep, and return a 3-tuple containing the part before the separator, the separator itself, and the part after the separator. If the separator is not found, return a 3-tuple containing the string itself, followed by two empty strings.

Whilst Filipinos are still in euphoria over Manny Pacquiao's impressive victory against the much bigger Puerto Rican boxing champ in the full packed MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas last Sunday, 15th Nov, 2009, politicians and wannabes are making their way into the scenes and desperately trying their best to let the voting public feel their presence even to the extent of appearing like silly cows. Why do they still have the nerves to pretend they have the nicest intentions of serving the nation when in truth and in fact, they are just bunch of selfish, unscrupulous monsters which silently devour the nation into their own empires and command? Politicians who promise today and forget their words tomorrow, when they have the desired positions in their hands. Too bad we have too many of them in the government. And it frustrates the whole nation as much as Manny Pacquiao inspires his countrymen.
As always said, politics and modesty are on extreme ends of the spectrum. They don't work together and their disparity is too wide to correspond. Manny Pacquiao has nothing to prove now than being himself. He's name is already amongst the list of the greatest boxers this world can produce in this century. Even before his recent title, the world has so much respect and regard of this person who has patiently conquered poverty and become not only one of the best boxing icons of this time but also the wealthiest. He has nothing to prove than his sustained humility. People loved and idolised him because he remained down-to-earth in spite of his boxing success. Just stay a boxing champ, and the world stay at your side.
But in a country where politics appears hypnotic to many aspirants, no one seems exempt even Manny Pacquiao whose fame and glory the world envy. What really are his intentions to seek public office or become a politician for that matter? Politicians present and past, always proclaim public service as the chief reason for running. Does one actually have to to be in a public office to do public service? I don't essentially agree that you need to be a mayor to help your city. Public service is a responsibility of every constituent if not an obligation. Manny Pacquiao with his capability both financially and physically can always do public service for the true meaning of it and not necessarily running for any government post. Public service is a commitment and a mission, that does not require educational qualifications, that does not need expensive campaign ads, that does not need a political party, that does not calls for voters, and does not need politicians to patronise. Public service simply needs a genuine heart, a sincere desire to help the helpless, a vocation whose vision is to uplift condition of a group of individuals and society which have been neglected and overlooked by many. Public service is a social philosophy, not a political framework.
Politics is politics. Many ideal men have tried before but they all stepped back fallen and dismayed. It's not bad to try though, yet if one only tries with the same purpose which can still be done without fundamentally trying it, it is best to achieve your purpose straightforwardly. That means, if Manny is indeed dedicated to do public service to this politically obsessed nation, he can absolutely do it now given his privilege and capability. Manny Pacquiao may have the best chance to win his congressional debut in the 2010 elections, or probably the vice presidency, yet he would be more decent and respectable being a pound for pound king of the world, than being a member of the tainted Philippine politics.


of the commemoration of the birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, they also used the occasion to unleash holy terror on the kingdom of darkness. The Mass Prayer shook the foundations of the satanical kingdom and caused commotion in the gates of hell. The intensity of the Mass Prayer also brought about deliverance, healing and liberation for those under the many different yokes of the devil. Congregants also made positive confessions of promotion, prosperity, sound health and career progress ahead of the approaching new year.
After Prophet T.B. Joshua prayed for him, he noticed that he could turn his hitherto stiff neck. All the debility and excruciating pain that came with the stiff neck stopped. Thanking God during his testimony, Mr Ekene who has since returned to his work, observed that he can now sleep peacefully without discomfort.
According to him, he now drives his car with ease. He advised people all over the world to put their trust in God.
Despite the fact that she is a nurse, Princess Caroline Ene could not help herself tackle the ailment that had befallen her. For two years, she suffered from difficulty in walking and had to resort to the use of a lumbar corset. The ailment made her unable to carry out domestic chores. Not even was she able to lift a bucket of water. All her quest for a solution ended in futility. The Nigerian residing in the United States of America had to make the over twelve-hour journey in order to attend the 2016 Revival Service at The SCOAN, Lagos, Nigeria in December.
Mrs Maduakwe had terminated three of her pregnancies and almost lost her life in another attempt to abort a six-months-old pregnancy. She continued to live a violent life and eventually rekindled a relationship with her ex-boyfriend. She even told her husband that the young man was just a cousin. She continued to frolic with her ex-boyfriend as they would meet secretly without her husband having an inkling of their escapades. On his part, Mr Maduekwe also had extra-marital affairs because of his wife's seeming frigidity. For fourteen years, the marriage hit the doldrums.
The couple visited The SCOAN and encountered the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua as he ministered prophecy to congregants. As soon as the prophet approached her, the spirit inside Mrs Maduekwe started manifesting. The man of God went on to tell the couple that the cause of their marital woes was a spiritual husband that had been tormenting Mrs Maduekwe for a long time. The couple thereafter received their deliverance in the mighty name of Jesus. Since their deliverance, the couple have rediscovered the true love that was the hallmark of their early days as a married couple. Mrs Maduekwe urged people all over the world to know that God's time is the best while her husband added that we should run to God in the face of every marital problem.


It really depends on your budget. You will save money on having one list of wanted parts. Yet, you might have to wait longuer and build the projects at the same time.
Just as soon and the roof is done on the house, I'm starting on BrickLinking 5 sets, only using one wishlist and just bulk ordering, lots of parts in commons it's really to set things up for later when my kid is old epochs to build with me.
If you keep things in perspective and well organised, you can have as many projects as you wish. Or at least that is what I find. I sketch and note part needs for any MOC, then prioritise what I want to build. Some projects remain pipe-dreams or sit on a back burner for a while and others get bumped off the list by a new and better idea. A deadline is the only thing that really sets a project ahead of others and if you don't have one of those then don't worry and just have fun!
Thanks for the suggestions guys, like some have mentioned I'm using bricklink to organize my wanted list. Each project has it's own list,but and I select the #1 project and fill my cart with what I want to spend and if I don't reach the $ amount I want to spend then I just go to all the lists and keep adding until I reach that amount. I've also got all the set in different bins labeled so once building time comes along they will already all be sorted.
I had many projects I had in mind and I lost inspiration or budget for some. So I chose the incorporate them over two large grey baseplates and I'm currently constructing two modular buildings over those baseplates and that gives me a city scape for the superhero battle i had planned, then I'm using the interior to create other MOCs I had In mind, for example I now have a downscaled Batcave and CW Arrow cave within one of my modulars.
So moral of my story is try to downscaled until you can expand or try incorporate them with each other if possible.
You can have as many projects going as you want. It gets a bit more complex if you have many projects going at the same time. But they can be managed using project management principles and concepts. Those come in handy if you're leading a collaborative build project with many builders and deadlines.
As samlr says, budget is key. The bricklink wanted list tool is really useful for organizing want you want and getting it for less.
I have about 5 projects going right now in different levels of completion. I use excel spreadsheets to keep track of everything. It works for me.

In the two decades of working with thousands of organized stalking victims and victims of other forms of targeting, the single-most common complaint is the suspicion or outright experiential evidence that multiple Police Officers are complicit in the affair. If not the Police, then some other law enforcement or intelligence agency… or both. Indeed, this has been my own experience in two of three different episodes of personal targeting over a 15 year period. In fact, multiple agencies can be involved simultaneously; Ive gone up against as many as five LEA, plus FBI and CIA assets, bounty hunters, and military intelligence in a single targeting. This has been documented in my various books showing how I beat them in the end… but it was no cake walk.
This is a problem for more than the obvious reasons. The most obvious is, that the very authority who should be responsible for investigating and protecting against such crimes, cannot be trusted by the TI to help anyone but the perps behind the affair. Calling Police for help is almost always like asking a burglar to help you secure your home. Secondly, when officials of any kind are complicit, the victim is then entered into the official record as being mentally ill, or in a worst-case scenario, guilty of some convenient crime. Even when not complicit, going to Police about targeting is likely to have the same result; they simply do not want to believe in the Boogeyman, and see anyone who does as a mental case. In fact, stalking is designed to get you to go to the Cops for just that reason; they want it on record that you are mentally unstable. DON'T DO IT.
But there is a DO list! Do video and log all interaction with LEA or have a witness from whom you can get a written statement immediately after. It will help keep Police somewhat confined in their actions against you. The more you collect such material, the less likely are they to risk any useful action against you; you can illustrate a pattern of harassment. Do make copies and hide them well, off site. Tips in my first book, The Professional Paranoid on all of this.
The worst example of the problem from my client situations was a Navajo Indian, an ex Green Beret, who was targeted after his daughter was kidnapped by a Satanic Cult with all the earmarks of a CIA mind control operation. Within weeks of going to authorities to seek help, all manner of problems beset him. Traditional surveillance and stalking, and electronic targeting, to include V2S was the least of it. When he began using my advice and his military skills to determine the players and go after them aggressively, it took a turn for the worse: suddenly, his mortgage was six months in arrears and his house was being foreclosed, all his credit cards were maxed out and past due, his bank accounts emptied, and there were outstanding warrants on him for assault with a deadly weapon and skipping out on bail. He was, in fact, declared 'armed and dangerous' with an all points out on him. This was all done by back-door computer manipulation of data files by professionals of CIA caliber.
He took additional advice from me and then went underground to organize with other ex military buddies and Navjo friends, and went black in order to wage an unseen war against the enemy. As I never heard from him, again, I must presume he failed in the effort, or was successful to the point of having broken enough laws that he needed to remain underground. I had, in fact, advised him not to contact me for such cause. But, as I have said, these are merely the obvious problems with this particular aspect of targeting.
Perhaps the second-most common awareness about stalkers is that they seem to regularly consist of a lot of Masonic types. This is often determined when getting a good close look at them or their vehicles; the Masonic emblem, or some similar fraternal order emblem, is found in evidence. Usually, it is either a sticker on a car window, a pin on clothing, or a ring on a finger. I myself have seen this in my own targeting, the one incident where true gang stalking was involved (as opposed conventional targeting with general surveillance and dirty tricks).
Two days later, I was at work where I was managing a gas station while investigating the Oil Industry, infiltration style. It would result in two forms of targeting, the first of which was by the Masons, that second day. A man bought gas and elected to come into the office to pay, where I was at the time. He waited until I was the only one present, and then offered to pay, holding out his fist, palm down. It was only a couple of dollars in gas, so I assumed it was a handful of change. Wrong; it was a message to be delivered.
NOTE: the second was targeting of the Station itself by a terror cell, of which one of the participants recognized by me as a helper to two of FBI's Top Ten Most Wanted and two other Islamics… and FBI agent who had been earlier involved in the my own targeting as earlier described. It was, in point of fact, to be yet another False Flag operation, later described by President Bush as Gas Station Tasking… which I thwarted. Arguably, the two targeting incidents might be seen as related, but even if so, it is unimportant, except for the fact that it illustrates that one almost never quite knows for sure why one is targeted, and who really lays behind it. This is described in my wordpress home page, if you wish to learn more.
Placing my hand beneath his, he opened it, and instead of coins, a money clip fell into my hand with a wad of Hundreds. "Take what you need, Mr. Sweeney," he said. My name tag simply said "Harry." He had a very wry, knowing look on his face, which slowly turned into a smirk as I manipulated the money clip to retrieve a single bill. In doing that, I discovered a gold and jeweled Masonic emblem on the other side of the custom-made silver clip. A broad grin overtook his face, to the point of becoming silly.
"Interesting how some thing have more than one meaning," he said, as I returned the clip and fetched his change. That day, when going home, There were three of them outside of my Condo, and several cars with Masonic emblems in our parking area, none of which had ever been seen before. I ended that stalking by using the methods in MC Realities, methods that many Tis would be unable to employ unless doing so upon first targeting, as had been my situation. Once targeting has been ongoing for some time, the typical TI no longer has access to the needed resources for such a defense. The one remaining defense is found in an earlier post.
In MC Realities, I trace the evolution of Mind Control technology (Political Control Technology) from the time of Adam and Eve (the Serpent's deception was the earliest form of controlling thought… the same version of it as we see today in media manipulation), forward. The Templars, after being ordered destroyed by the Pope for having discovered their Satanic practices acquired in the Middle East, went into hiding. In time, many of them hid within the Stone Masons Guild, and eventually, took it over to form the Freemasons as we know them, today.
I end this section with a simple note: all Masonic systems are quite steeped in ancient mysteries of the Middle East, and beyond, typically focusing on Egypt, Syria, and the Holy Land… with a touch of the Sub Continent (India, Nepal, etc.) and Far East.
This is where it gets interesting. Most big city Police are encouraged to join the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), and it is indeed Masonic in structure. FOP, for instance, employs the Masonic all-seeing eye of Egyptian fame in their logo, which is a five-pointed star with a circle bisecting the points to create five triangles shaped like the Compass of the Masonic emblem, also the shape of the ancient steeply-angled Egyptian Burial (pyramidal) obelisk used for commoners' crypts. There was additional heraldry-like art akin to European styling in the center of the star, shapes quite like those of most Police Badges, and incorporating an Eagle and other symbols. In other words, Police departments not only adopted the Lodge system almost universally, but did so to the point that their badges reflected elements of the FOP emblem. Almost all Police badge shapes generally post dated the FOP affiliations, underscoring the link. The exception would be Sheriff stars, and yet, that shape is also of ancient Masonic importance, in both the upright and upside-down (satanic Baphomet) versions.
If that were not enough to convince you, let us take a look at the Police Department of New Orleans. New Orleans existed as a city at the time of the Louisiana Purchase from France, in 1803. The first Masonic Lodge (a French version), was established there in 1793, all its members speaking French, and some Spanish, but no English of note. All the better to remain secret and mysterious to Americans, when they came into possession. But to fully appreciate New Orleans in the equation, we have to first look to New York.
In 1915, the Fraternal Order of Police established their first Lodge, there. It spread from there to many other cities in very short order. The FOP was not intended just to be a Lodge system, however; it also took on aspects of Unionization, a kind of bargaining force with the City whenever Members felt that Cops were not getting a fair deal from the Mayor. In many cases, in fact, their bargaining strength was augmented by the power of the greater Masonic power structure, a formidable force at the time.
Over time, actual unionization was also achieved in almost every major city, usually through the Mob's control of the AFL-CIO, making it easier to arrange for hijacking of intrastate trucking or of dock cargo without anyone ever being sent to prison. But that's another story. Ask any retired Union trucker or stevedore from Jersey. I've heard the same from 1975 Oregon members. The importance of that will explain to some Tis, those who believe they were targeted because they reported illicit drug operations or crimes which might be related to Unions, are targeted by Police. Additionally, of course, CIA sanctioned drug operations are protected by Police, as well. Thieves in bed with thieves, the bed made by the thieves.
Though New Orleans under the French had a Police Department as early as 1796, it had no Police Department for rather a long period of time after it raised the American flag. It was instead 'policed' by a vigilante system until 1853, when they formed their first 'American' Police Department. Almost immediately, they adopted the ancient Cresent and Star (upside down, larger star) as is common to Islam, as their badge. It is still in use, today, and appears on their cars, as well. Well before the FOP had even existed, this Department was already incorporating Masonic symbology directly in its badge. This is better known as the Shriner's symbol, today… the Shriners being a Masonic fraternal lodge system.
So, clearly, the Masonic influence and ties are present within most Police Departments. Cops form some of the strongest bonds between individuals in service outside of the Military, sufficiently strong, in fact, that if one of them asks a color-of-law favor of another, it is not likely to be turned down, and certainly unlikely to be exposed even if turned down. Therefore, it really only takes one Cop being approached from a fellow Lodge member to recruit several more for any needed aid, even if that request came from a lodge in another city. Ergo, escape to another city tends to never result in escape from targeting.
NOTE: That is why the Free Will Society exists; a solution to virtually all forms of targeting. Please join and support (donate/promote) our effort to create a targeting free intentional community of our own, and our other advanced programs planned for the future. If you are reading this, you should immediately join the Society and give it full support. It is a far more valuable TI resource in terms of programs and goals than any of the so-called 'TI groups' out there, today, the bulk of which are nothing more than information and disinformation mills.

Yes, there is a third shoe, one of special interest to those who feel the intelligence community lays behind their targeting. Every major Police Department in America has in place assets loyal to the Central Intelligence Agency, and many Officers have military intelligence backgrounds. Usually, you can count on some of them holding key positions within a given city: the Chief, the Public Relations Officer or Spokesperson, the head of Internal Affairs, the head of the Swat Team, and/or the Head of Personnel. From these posts, especially through IA, they are able to find bad cops who can be blackmailed into playing ball on an on-call basis, for any kind of dirty deed, to include color-of-law abuses such as is common to targeting. Don't forget CIA drug running operations.
If that were not enough, there are similar, but far looser ties with FBI, Homeland Security, and the US Military Intelligence Agencies (and in some case, others, including the United Nations, and even Mossad). These generally entail the network of Fusion Centers and Centers for Excellence*, and special programs such as Community Policing and the Strong Cities Initiative/Network. When you consider that most all of these agencies use computer software based on CIA's PROMIS data base management system, which is nothing more than a data base engine with a back door built in… almost any form of hanky-panky is possible. Ergo, the Navajo Beret Syndrome.
* Search for 'Centers for Excellence + Homeland' to see why I include it, here. All these items work together to collect, evaluate, and share information on (persons of interest). They operate as one big networked spy tool with usefulness in organized stalking which can easily be misused by anyone within LEA who has access.
So, even if Masons are not involved at all, Police can still be brought to bear on any given TI with the same level of efficiency, and in fact, the FOP can be leveraged into the equation just as easily, in reverse manner. Will the average member of the FOP, the Masons, the Police, or any of that long list of Agencies be aware of any of this? Absolutely not… not unless they are higher on the food chain. Then, of course, they won't be admitting it, either. Complaining about it gains nothing. Knowing about it, and understanding it, can mean a lot, however.
You may not be able to beat it, but when the mystery is gone, its just another damned nuisance to deal with, and another reason to avoid trying to rely upon Police for help, unless you know one you have great respect and trust in. I was lucky. I had a relative who was a Cop in an uninvolved LEA, and he was able to help off the record in very useful ways. I also had help from ex FBI friends with back channel access, of like value.
We can't all be so lucky. And if you are a TI, you know luck is not your strong suit.

I want to join your free will society. So if I make a donation of $100 will I automatically become a member? Is there anything else I need to do?
Sadly, Dana is now being targeted and I am worried about a friend I met through my older brother. A woman who actually taught SERE in the USAF as an enlisted woman. She also worked at high levels in USAF signal as an enlisted woman and then civilian AT & T. And she claims definitive diagnosis as MPD; even by NIH. If she is being targeted, sadly both of my brothers are involved as perps. Or she could be working with them. I am unsure at the moment. Sad, sad world!
Was I being zapped so badly in the chest on a few occasions when you & I were becoming close to scare me away from trusting you? Who knows.
Dana & I have been through much in our relationship. She sees the dangers now of new age spirituality. Both of us are truth seekers and highly empathic. Any problems in trust that we've encountered, which have been many, we've worked through. Perhaps you and I could do the same, if you'd like and if we can do so safely.
Thank you very much for ALL you are doing on behalf of TIs, homeless veterans, and others!
I hope and pray ALL is well for you & your family!
Hi, Amy. Membership is only $25 a year. $100 would get you a position on the Board of Advisors, which gives a deeper level of participation. $250 would do that, and there would be no annual renewal of Membership (lifetime). It would be better to use PayPal to proparanoidgroup@gmail.com, than to use the gofundme, for these purposes. Actual donations should be through gofundme, so you have many options. Thank you for asking, and for your support.
Many of my posts are based on the number of questions or comments I receive in the mail or social media dialogs. Sometimes, it has to do with personal events of my own, figuring that if I have an issue, others must, as well… and often I already know that to be the case through the thousands of TIs I have worked with. While all of this was true of this post, what really inspired it was, of all things, an old 1950s movie shot in New Orleans, and I noticed the Police logo on the car (Islamic star and crescent)… and did that research, which essentially reinforced my original suspicions on the importance of the Masonic influence on topic, in spades.

CBS2: CAIR-Chicago Calls Out Double Standards After Shootings
CHICAGO (CBS) — President Barack Obama's Oval Office address vowing to defeat the Islamic State, and encouraging the nation to treat all Muslims fairly came as welcome words to many in Chicago.
In this Original Report, a Muslim woman and Chicago native talked to CBS 2's Mai Martinez about the impact of negative public perception of her religion, because of the Islamic State terrorists.
Born and raised in Chicago, Fatima Ahmed never imagined the challenges she'd face decades later as a 24-year-old Muslim woman.
"I guess I really didn't see myself as being different from anyone else," she said.
But in a time when ISIS is terrorizing the world, Ahmed and other Muslims have found themselves wrongly associated with the extremist group, simply because of its self-association with Islam.
"I get judged for the way that I look, and the way that I dress," she said. "Once I was told I look like the devil. … I don't really feel safe anymore leaving home."
That was especially true following the terrorist attack on Paris last month.
"From my own personal experience, as well as really close friends of mine, we were terrified to leave the next morning. I don't think I've ever felt that way," Ahmed said.
That fear grows with every ISIS-linked incident, including the shooting massacre in San Bernardino, California last week.
When she heard about the shooting suspects, Ahmed said, "The first thought that went through my head was 'please don't let his name be a Muslim name."
And when it turned out the shooters were identified as Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife, Tafsheen Malik, Ahmed said she knew she would automatically associated with them and their actions.
Renner Larson, who works with Ahmed at the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said it pains him that she and other Muslims are automatically associated with ISIS.
"Last week, when a guy that looked like me with a name like mine walked into a Planned Parenthood and started shooting, nobody judged me for his actions, and that's a double standard," Larson said.
Ahmed said she "absolutely" believes some people look at her and see only a terrorist or potential terrorist, because of what's going on in the world.
She choked back tears, unable to answer, when asked what it's like living with that day in and day out.
Ahmed said the way to bridge the divide and overcome the fear is to educate each other. She suggested simply walking up to someone greeting them, and seeing where the conversation goes.
