Think about your email marketing as a way to connect with your audience. Research your audience and start creating content that could benefit them, then listen and engage with them.
Create email content that doesn't focus on selling, but rather focuses on sharing insightful and helpful content. Segment your audience and send them targeted emails that offer them something that isn't your product or service, something valuable that they can implement right away.
Many subsequent behaviors that digital marketers want people to take after reading an email are happening on mobile. Ensure that your emails get opened on mobile by creating emails with tight copy and a concise subject line, that doesn't get cut off in a mobile inbox.
What are some email marketing best practices?
How do you develop content for emails?
Approaching content is very important; you have to know your audience, your product, and who you are selling to because it's not a one size fits all approach to content. To create email content, you need to know who the email is going out to and what the goal of the email is.
What are some strategical tricks that you can use in email marketing?
Schema tags have been around quite a while and you also may have heard the term structured data. Basically it is an agreed upon set of markup that you put into websites that helps Google understand what the website is about; from organization, product, brand name – and if it is ecommerce: what the price is, if it is in stock, or if it has reviews. These are all things that you can markup with schema.
How should email marketers approach mobile?
What are some of your favorite tools to use as an email marketer?


In what seems to be the broadest (in terms of applications) NFC trial to date, the city of Caen in the Normandy region of France will demonstrate the technology in retail payments, parking facility ticketing, tourist site information sharing, and eventually promotions via active posters.
EINDHOVEN, The Netherlands, October 18/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ – The city of Caen in Normandy, France will today be the setting for a trial of one of the most promising new technologies in the mobile telecommunications market: Near Field Communication (NFC). With this touch-based technology from Royal Philips Electronics (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHI), 200 Caen residents will use mobile phones with an embedded Philips NFC chip as a means of secure payment in selected retail stores, parking facilities and famous tourist sites around town in a six-month trial. For the trial, Philips will work closely with France Telecom R&D, network operator Orange, handset manufacturer Samsung and renowned retailers Groupe LaSer and Vinci Park.
The Caen NFC trial is the world's first large scale trial of this emerging technology and will enable direct feedback to be gathered from mobile operators, retailers and consumers. The Caen trial of NFC will help illustrate how consumers can securely and easily make purchases and obtain information, simply with the swipe of their mobile phones.
Retail applications: Groupe Laser chains, which include Monoprix supermarket and Galeries Lafayette will be equipped with NFC payment terminals enabling users to pay at checkout using their NFC-enabled phone. More stores will follow later in the trial, along with a cashless payment scheme in partnership with Cofinoga, the consumer credit arm of Groupe Laser.
Car parking access: When users wish to access a car park, they simply pass their NFC-enabled phone in front of the entrance booth. The car park ticketing application automatically issues a 'virtual' ticket on the mobile phone and debits the cost from the users' season card or pre-paid account when the phone is passed across the terminal at the car park exit.
Tourist services: When an NFC-enabled phone is swiped across information points at landmarks in Caen, a phone call will be made or SMS message received containing interesting tourist information about the site.
Active Posters: During the trial, more applications will be added, including the purchase of mobile phone content such as ringtones and wallpaper through posters around town that have NFC embedded.
The solution used in this trial incorporates secure, over the air (OTA) download of applications on a GSM network and automatically recognizes the appropriate application to launch when an NFC connection is made. In addition to NFC, the Samsung phone also incorporates a Philips smart card chip, enabling users to make payments and use banking applications supported by one of the highest levels of security available on the market today.
NFC is compatible with Sony's FeliCa(TM) card and the broadly established contactless smart card infrastructure based on ISO 14443 A, which is used in Philips' MIFARE(R) technology.
To drive development and adoption of NFC, Philips, Sony and Nokia established the NFC Forum, a non-profit industry association which promotes implementation and standardization of NFC technology to ensure interoperability between devices and services. The NFC Forum has currently more than 50 members around the globe including MasterCard International, Matsushita Electronic Industrial Co, Ltd, (Panasonic), Microsoft, Motorola, NEC Corporation, Renesas Technology Corp., Samsung, Texas Instruments and Visa International.
Royal Philips Electronics of the Netherlands (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHI) is one of the world's biggest electronics companies and Europe's largest, with sales of EUR 30.3 billion in 2004. With activities in the three interlocking domains of healthcare, lifestyle and technology and 161,100 employees in more than 60 countries, it has market leadership positions in medical diagnostic imaging and patient monitoring, color television sets, electric shavers, lighting and silicon system solutions.

Once this location is figured out, they will have to select the best place for the sewer rodding. They will locate the biggest clean out spot closest to the blockage and where they can lower the cutter head of the rodding equipment, so that it needs the minimum power. Rodding makers include various cables, power capacities and cutting heads and experience in clearing numerous such obstructions, will permit the technician to determine precisely what action needs to be required to eliminate the blockages from the drain in your property. They might elect to drain pipes out a sewage system prior to they start rodding, as at times water can contribute to damage of pipes, throughout rodding operations.
Once the rodding operations are begun, it is continued till the cable with the cutter head reaches a clear part of the sewage system or approximately the primary city trunk line. This range is noted, and the cutter is again extracted and sent through again to see if other tough spots are present and require cleansing operations. The resulting debris has then to be drawn out and analyzed to determine its nature. The existence of wood may indicate tree roots and the homeowner will be asked to take action to prevent reoccurrence of the problem.
Modern plumbing has a range of techniques for keeping sewage system gasses from a home. One of the most popular is the P trap. P traps are extremely important due to the fact that sewer gasses can be harmful to your health in addition to smell bad.
The P trap efficiency at trapping sewage system gasses is all due to its design. It begins by going strait below the drain, then it has a p shaped bend on the bottom, and it ends with a horizontal pipeline after it curves up. This p shaped bend is implied to trap a little water in the pipe. This water acts like a barrier, keeping any sewage system gasses from entering the room.
P traps are generally discovered in bathrooms on any drain that leads to the sewer. This consists of showers, sinks, and flooring drains pipes. Toilets utilize a modified P trap referred to as an S trap that is suggested to make sure that all wast leaves the toilet while leaving some water to block the gasses.
If you smell sewer gas in a room with a P trap, it is most likely that the trap is empty of water. to check this you have to do is shine a flashlight at it. If it does not show back, it is empty and you need to include some water to refill it. If this doesn't work then you might need to call a plumber to fix the P trap or another pipeline.
If sewage system line clogs repeat within a short time of the rodding operations, it can show other problems that may not be easily resolved by this operation. It would then be essential to diagnose the entire network, user habits and other reasons that do cause sewer obstructions. At times, it might be required to replace a sewage system to get an irreversible service. Fortunately, nowadays there are companies that can undertake this operation through trench-less replacement of pipelines, so that the work is done without any hassle to the property owner.


The U.S. Supreme Court votes 8-0 to overturn the $200,000 settlement awarded to the Reverend Jerry Falwell for his emotional distress at being parodied in Hustler, a pornographic magazine.
In 1983, Hustler ran a piece parodying Falwell's first sexual experience as a drunken, incestuous, childhood encounter with his mother in an outhouse. Falwell, an important religious conservative and founder of the Moral Majority political advocacy group, sued Hustler and its publisher, Larry Flynt, for libel. Falwell won the case, but Flynt appealed, leading to the Supreme Court's hearing the case because of its constitutional implications. In February 1988, the Supreme Court unanimously overturned the lower court's decision, ruling that, although in poor taste, Hustler's parody fell within the First Amendment's protection of freedom of speech and the press.

Iranian Minister Sees Decreasing Oil Prices as Suicidal Act by West's Regional Allies
Iranian Justice Minister Mostafa Pourmohammadi said the western powers and their proxy states in the region are committing a suicidal act by pushing the international crude prices further down.
"That they decrease the oil price from $100 to $40, to less than a half, in a few months is a big suicide for the West and their hirelings in the region," Pourmohammadi said in Tehran on Sunday.
He reiterated that Iran's foes will not gain any success even if they continue their oil war against certain crude producers, and said decreasing the oil prices is a plot which will fail similar to the sanctions policy against Iran.
"If the enemy had succeeded in its sanctions policy (against Iran), it would have never committed the suicidal act of decreasing the oil price."
Pourmohammadi regretted that certain regional states which are facing budget deficits are still cooperating with the West to keep the crude prices falling.
In relevant remarks on Tuesday, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani downplayed the effects of falling oil prices on the country's economy, and said those who had hatched or played a role in the plot to decrease crude prices would be harmed more than Iran.
"You should know that those who have plotted the fall in oil prices against certain countries will regret their deeds. This path cannot be continued and you should know that if Iran is harmed by the falling oil prices, other producing countries, including Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, will sustain more losses than Iran," Rouhani said, addressing a gathering of people in Bushehr city.
He noted that 80% of Saudi Arabia and 95% of Kuwait's annual budgets depended on crude sales, adding that only 33% of Iran's this year budget relied on oil revenues.
Stressing that the government had foreseen ways to cope with falling oil prices, Rouhani said, "We will increase non-oil exports this year."
Also in December, Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said exports of crude was just one of Iran's sources of revenue and the country could live up without oil sales and through exports of its rich mineral resources, modern industries, and talented people.
"We have different methods and scenarios to run the country under different circumstances and we will not forget which countries are conspiring to reduce oil prices," Larijani said during a visit to Syria.
He said that the same countries conspired against Iran in the 1980s when Iran was at war with Iraq.
"It would be a mistake if they (certain governments) imagine that they can change the strategic situation of the (Middle East) region through oil (price)," said Larijani.
In early March, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei in a meeting with economic activists, elites and state officials in Tehran explained the root cause of Iran's turn to the Resistance Economy as well as the specifications, features and components of such an economic model.
Ayatollah Khamenei elaborated on the reasons and incentives for the adoption of the economy of resistance, and said, "Abundant material and non-material capacities of the country, treatment of chronic and lasting economic problems, confrontation against sanctions and immunizing the country's economy against global economic crises" are the reasons why such a model should be practiced in Iran.
He further noted that the components of the resistance economy are "creating movement and dynamicity in the country's economy and improving macroeconomic indicators", "ability to resist against threatening factors", "reliance on internal capacities", adoption of a "Jihadi approach", "people-centeredness", "reforming consumption patterns", "campaign against corruption" and adoption of "knowledge-based approach".
Ayatollah Khamenei referred to the sanctions imposed by the western powers against Iran due to its peaceful nuclear program, and said the country should strengthen its economy in a way that no boycott and embargo could ever leave a negative impact on it so easily.
All options on table if IR Iran under serious threat: Khazaei

The Thinman (tm) is a computer for communication, enjoyment, and user development; it has been conceived to be built cheaply and for maximal expansion through universal connectors. It embraces the concepts of the digital public domain in as many technical and also social ways as possible.
To be ultimately efficient, its application code works as closely to the hardware as possible in the Data Centric (tm) arrangement of the Thinman Model (tm). The L4 operating system, for example, offers the flexibility necessary to allow application code to work closely with the CPU, and also allow sharing between Thinman (tm) type systems to synergistically give every Thinman (tm) node the power of all of the entire open network. Modern systems security allows the Thinman (tm) to bare its soul to the world; both data and code attach objectively from anywhere and everywhere, it epitomizes both Empathy and Synergy as the technology of a modern Information society.
Technology and the Information Society of today is the Internet; previously it was the television and telephone; in previous centuries it was the book. This is what is thought of as information technology. Technology is usually thought of in cold terms. Slowly, socialization is becoming a goal for the Internet as more of the world gets connected. The Care2 activist community has been my work place for more than two years now, where I have experienced significant political successes.
Linux is a very significant contribution to the Information Society; it is the operating system behind the majority of web pages served, possibly 70%, and also now operates most tiny devices that make machines such as appliances and kiosks smart. It is not a leader on the Desktop, however, but it should be. It is much safer and more reliable than the dominating Microsoft Windows operating system.
Linux is also a significant example of synergy on the Internet, of people working together on a project with success, working purely in the mutualist model.
Empathy, as a concept often means different things, but biologists have recently discovered cells that define it scientifically for us: mirror and spindle cells. These cells help us communicate inter-personally through emotions, and also help us communicate the sophisticated ideas necessary for innovation.
An energy wave is being developed as the importance of empathy in our lives and society is formally recognized. Empathy, as compassion, is very important to our health, and is important to our outlook on the world, making us important as people.
Empathic communication may become the real information revolution.
Synergy is thought of as people working well together, but it is far more. It was defined by Ruth Benedict when she was studying Native American tribes that were successfully recovering from the genocide of colonialist immigration. The successful tribes culturally defined success not in terms of wealth, but in terms of generosity. They especially gave high social status to those who gave strength to others: successful tribal members who gave strength to the less confident members. In a synergistic environment no one is left out or left behind; everyone willing to help is encouraged.
Synergy is the perfect model for communities, society, education, and Internet work projects.
Science education is rapidly changing. Today science is for the children; it is the responsibility of communities to help students organize into learning groups and develop their scientific skills.
Younger students tend to have their own relationship with the world; this is sometimes called "kid science." and it is very often the version of science accepted until recent centuries. There is nothing wrong with it as it reflects the child's relationship with the world, and most often that is the version of science understood by local communities.
The challenge of teaching science is to help the students guide themselves to a more scientific view of the world. Project-based science helps them join the scientific community by helping them organize their learning so that they themselves can make the discoveries that define our natural world. As many as one or two in ten scientists will offer their time to help younger students genuinely experience scientific discovery.
Empathy and Synergy offer pathways for students to become ideal learners growing into the ideal people for our age. The abilities to understand the surrounding environment, to adapt to changes, and most important to be able share information as well as success with the community define today's most successful person; within the school curriculum is called "learning to learn."
Group learning offers a way for the more successful students to help the less confident ones; it benefits the schools as well as the students by bringing up student test scores. In terms of the modern Information Society, today's ideal learner resembles successful members of native tribes.

Q: jQuery -- .append is appending html element, then automatically the html is being removed When using the below code to append div and p elements inside the .container (using value within inputs), the elements are being created and automatically destroyed. Any ideas as to what is wrong? Thanks a bunch!
 $("#submit").on("click", function(event){
    var textTitle = $("#title").val();
    var textContent = $("#content").val();
    $("#title").val("");
    $("#content").val("");
    $(".container").append("

" + textTitle + "

");
    $(".container").append("

" + textContent + "

");
    event.stopPropagation();
});

A: Use event.preventDefault in place of event.stopPropogation, let it prevent the default working of form submission.

A: It does sound like your #submit is a input type="submit" and your submitting the form. Because your above code works just fine when not within a form tag.
Also be careful when using .append() because it will lag the browser. Its always best to form all your DOM elements into a HTML string and then use the append function once.
JS Fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/vxxu3uhw/1/
    $("#submit").on("click", function(event){
        event.preventDefault();
        var textTitle = $("#title").val(),
            textContent = $("#content").val();

        $("#title").add("#content").val("");

        var html = "

" + textTitle + "

"
                 +

" + textContent + "

        $(".container").append(html);
    });

Reply back with more specific examples of your currently structure and I can better help.
If you are using a form and input type="submit" then add the event.preventDefault() and you will not submit the form.

Filing a bug report isn't usually a fun experience, but a well-written bug report will make life easier for everyone involved.
An application's life cycle is divided into five stages: requirements, design, development, testing, and deployment. And at each of those stages there is a good possibility a bug will be introduced.
As a project grows, it inherently becomes more complex, increasing the odds that bugs will be created. In turn, bugs and their patches are some of the biggest contributors to the complexity of a project.
Luckily, bugs can be fixed. But to do that, you need to have a good bug report. A bug report should allow the developer to locate the cause of the bug and make the appropriate changes.
Software errors come in all shapes and sizes and different levels of severity. The development team judges the severity of the bug on the basis of the bug report and decides whether the bug requires immediate fixing or not.
In order to ensure bugs are reported in a timely manner and in a way that corrective actions can be taken, it's very important that a report provides as much information as possible and is documented correctly.
If they receive a good bug report, your team doesn't have to spend time figuring out what went wrong. So what should be in a good bug report?
Quite a bit, actually. There are many issues in software development, and it can be very difficult to even recreate a bug. So, the idea is to capture as many details as you can in your report.
Great, but there's no way anyone can solve anything using just that information. What you need is a description of what happened: the more the detailed the better.
In the best case, the user received an error message. That provides a decent starting point. In the worst case, there was no signal other than things didn't happen as they were supposed to.
Something went wrong, but odds are, you're not talking about a landing page.
You're probably working with a complex online application that has a huge number of pages or configurations. In this instance, you need to know where it was that the bug occurred. What was the user trying to do and what did he access?
Preferably, if you have different versions of your web-app you'd also like to know what version the user is talking about.
Not all bugs are created equal and they should be handled that way as well. Is your bug generating a blue screen? You have a serious issue.
Is the background color in your logo slightly different from the background color of the page? Well, that might not be one of your priorities. Let's fix the blue screen first.
Keep in mind that this is usually pretty subjective. Nevertheless, the description will help you quite a bit with determining how bad a bug is.
If someone is reporting a bug, it might very well be limited to their specific situation. Maybe the user is running an old version of chromium in a Puppy Linux Beta version;This also has an impact on the importance of the bug because it is linked to the potential impact on users.
When something happened only once, and wasn't fatal, you might not ever see the issue rise again. That means it's less important for you to fix.
Without the knowing how the issue happened, the developer has his or her work cut out for them. Where to start? Knowing that if you recreate a certain situation, it will happen again is a great way to get more information and get that bug dealt with.
This is the developer's dream bug report, it's nice, it's concise and it has all the information he needs. There is one problem with it though.
Unless the application is still in development, the people that will be creating these reports won't be technical. In fact, these will be your users. Can they even give you this info?
You probably guessed it. There is just no way that the average user can fill this in, or that he even wants to. The reason your users use your application is precisely because they want to save time. That means that filling out a bug report isn't on their agenda.
In other words, if you show them all these questions, you will either get a very bad set of answers or just an angry customer. On the other hand, if you don't fix the issues, they might go to the competition. So, something needs to be done.
The less you ask your customer to do, the better.
Fortunately there are many lean and easy-to-use bug reporting tools out there.
A bug reporting tool makes reporting as easy as possible for your users and testers. At the same time your developers will be kept happy, since additional and useful information – such as browser version, installed plugins, or more simply operating system are automatically added to every bug report. Yes, automatically.
So there's no need for your users to fill out a lengthy bug report form. Here are a few bug reporting tools I came across and considered a great fit for the modern way of reporting bugs.
Usersnap is a great and easy-to-use bug reporting tool for every web project. It allows you to annotate browser screens and adds other useful information (such as browser version, installed plugins, etc.) automatically to every bug report.
BugMuncher works great bug reporting teams and developers in charge of fixing issues and ensuring a bug-free environment.
In contrast to the mentioned bug reporting tools, FogBugz offers a whole project suite for your web projects.
It allows you to organize issues, bugs and other tasks in the most efficient way and let's you keep track of your progress. Therefore FogBugz works great for large web development teams or enterprises.
DoneDone is another, yet effective bug reporting tool. Not only bugs can be reported with DoneDone, but also tasks or new ideas can be easily organized.
Similar to Usersnap, DoneDone integrates well with other 3rd party tools, like Basecamp or GitHub.
Bug reporting has gotten much better with it's latest bug reporting tools. The old days of lengthy bug reports which needed a great amount of time are getting to an end. Lucky us. After using these tools, you'll definitely fell in love with the concept of in-browser bug reporting.
Reporting bugs and submitting change requests is easier this way, since everything is communicated and organized through a visual interface and the communication is seamless.
Creating a website is very much like preparing a cake. How you dress it and how it ends up looking can be worlds apart. And we all want our cakes to look pretty and taste amazing, right? If you agree then the key is to pay attention to detail. Here are a few miniscule factors to keep in mind when building your very own website. Or let's just say this is how you put the dressing on the cake.
First Things First: The Header!
The primary point of focus that you must start off with is the way each landing page looks. And how do you come up with the best looking page?
Put up a great header!
Every single website you open is easily identifiable by its header image. This is where your logo goes, along with essential details such as tag lines, service tabs or contact number.
The header from Quintet has one large image that speaks out everything! The company staff, personalization and creativity.
Spark it up with the colour that represents your business and let the user get a true feel for your brand.
Everything that follows from the header should be displayed neatly in columns and boxes that blend in well with the overall design of the website.
The flow of the content needs to be controlled based on the underlying web layout being used. A user needs to be able to navigate freely, clearly and swiftly.
This means that the website has good user functionality, increasing the time spent on the landing page. Google is able to track your navigation system and website structure.
The overall site hierarchy will determine how the website is ranked on search engines so a great website will include easy-to-browse categories for content and products.
Effective Content marketing is what separates a good website from a bad one. And this is not an overstatement.
No matter what you do, do not get your content wrong. After all, it's what goes on your website that defines what it is all about. The efficient use of relevant keywords and key phrases determines how well the Google Webmaster tool responds to your website.
However, keyword stuffing is also identified by the genius tool and prolific and rambling use of certain words will have the opposite impact on user experience.
Many top SEO experts and growing web design companies are focusing on keeping a balance between the uses of keywords in the content body. Though the latest Google tips all point to making the user happy to make Google happy!
Unique, compelling and exciting copy is what really grabs attention!
Who doesn't like a remarkable presentation of text that is both readable and interactive?
Once you get the text right, be wary of the way you lay it out. It is absolutely essential to make prudent use of typefaces that best suit your webpage. Choose wisely between casual and sombre fonts so that they don't conflict with the overarching theme.
Pauline Osmont, an Art illustrator, has a self-branding website with an amazing typography that matches the website's theme and the service that is provided. Note the font is also readable and clear without any clusters.
Remember, typography is important in polishing content.
So perk up the page with visual content with images and videos that engage the user. Your goal is to excite the visitor with what you are offering, so make it shine!
Disney's Official pages are full of images and video trailers that have shot up user engagement on their site.
Website links at the page footer are essential elements in the website – do not miss them!
At the end of every single page, a user should be able to refer to links that take him where he wants on the website!
How Is Your Website Coded?
Well, let's get down to baking the cake we just dressed to see how tough it really is.
Each landing page will be distinguished by the content it contains. For longer user engagement time, more (but unique) content will be helpful.
The use of sliders and videos that inform visitors about the business and related areas will bring in all the more traffic.
A good website does not take too long to load. Optimize the amount of written and visual content that you upload and make sure your back end server is giving you the best hosting.
Once a visitor is lost due to page load failure, you are never sure he'll be back!
This is a relatively new concept, but not entirely. It's time to jump the mobile internet bandwagon if you still haven't.
A great website has a responsive design that adapts to different screen widths and shows up perfectly on a mobile device. For SEO purposes, this is serious business!
HTML, the standard mark-up language used to create web pages, is your website's skeleton and gives structure to each webpage.
Anything and everything that goes on a website from text to headings and from images to links is all based on how the HTML language is written.
So be sure to choose the best HTML website design such as HTML4 and 5 for basic but proficient working of your website. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for the site are equally important as they format a document written in mark-up language.
CSS defines the layout of HTML documents, therefore a good design is supported by a carefully chosen CSS style.
Time to see how the cake looks to Google!
A website made with HTTP is dependent on a reliable and simple URL (Uniform Resource Locator) structure. Not only should the URL be friendly to search engines but also to users by simply pointing out the unique resource that it is attached to.
URLs should be readable, memorable and easily comprehendible by the regular user. Complex URLs will lead to Googlebot being unable to index the website's content and may create problems for crawlers.
A clear hierarchy is central to a site's functionality and text links should lead to a different page.
Links on the home page should lead to relevant sub-pages which should link to further sub-category detailed pages. Build a pyramid so that the visitor knows exactly where he will be taken next.
Keywords relevant to your business need to be in the right places: Headings, drop-down menus, pop-ups, slider menus. This will ensure that visitors find exactly what they are looking for in a matter of seconds.
Also, better keywords, better SEO!
Anchor texts should lead visitors from the front telling them that more pages related to what they are reading are available on a second click. Make sure anchor text is representative of what's coming next instead of confusing the visitor with generic content.
A high performing website optimizes its images so that they save the maximum amount of bytes, along with valuable visual space.
Design pages in the most bot readable way to enhance SEO and ensure that the browser loads the page as quickly as possible, displaying what it necessary for increased usability.
What Are User's Action s on Your Website?
Who likes a cake that looks good but wouldn't taste half as good? A chef's effort isn't complete till someone's tasted his dish.
Let's dig in and get a piece of our very own cake!
This is not just true for e-commerce sites which are looking for more rigorous marketing techniques every day. The Call to Action is for every website owner that wants to engage an audience.
How to do that effectively?
Invest in a newsletter that users can sign up to, or ask them to fill out a contact form so you can update them with sales and services. From Placements to colours and texts, a call to action must be aesthetically provoking and smartly engineered.
Our designers at Brandjaws have kept the consistency of the 'yellow colour' as a means of any action that can be taken on the website. This header is designed so the user can prominently distinguish the yellow buttons from the dark contrast of the blue/black background.
The tedious task of engaging customers can only be made easy by giving out incentives such as coupons or the chance to win a free prize. Design these so that users don't stumble upon calls to action, but make it loud and clear through effective web design.
Your advertising billboard is your canvas. Paint a colourful one!
What is the world without social sharing?
Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit, Tumblr, Pinterest, Medium; and see what people like or dislike about you.
Use active social tabs in your website design to keep social audiences intact and allow them to interact through comments and shares on all your posts.
Buzzfeed, an entertainment giant, has leveraged every possibility for users to share their content across various sites.
Is your site all about words? Well, a reader will always want to say something about what he's read.
So if you are a blogging website, open up to your visitors and connect through a user friendly commenting section (such as the one powered by Disqus) and learn about what people have to say.
Spark intelligent conversations and let your website be the star of the show!
Hopefully these tips have helped you to understand what Google loves to see in a website and how to push your site high up on the Google search page.

The post The Anatomy of Time Tracking Tools: Breaking Down Its Essentials appeared first on SpyreStudios.
Tesla is a fantastic name for revolutionary electric car company, but not a name that could navigate a typical corporate naming process and survive.
We can't acquire Tesla.com, we'd have to use Teslamotors.com, a non-starter. Electrificity.com is available. Let's go with "Electrificity" instead. We can get the domain.
Most Teslas are sold online, and though they were unable to secure Tesla.com, they knew the common wisdom that going with Teslamotors.com would hurt sales was and is nonsense.
Tesla knew it was a great name even though Mr. Tesla's work was with AC electricity, not the DC electricity the car runs on, which was the domain of Edison. They knew Tesla is a much sexier word attached to a sexier, more mysterious personality. The name Edison is just boring all around. So no one cares about the glaring discrepancy – they just associate the name with electricity.
For Tesla, going with the domain Teslamotors.com and using the name Tesla was a better move than changing the name to Electrificity or some such because they could get the Electrificity.com.
We are all for a matching domain name, but it must be a powerful one.


I was on the phone with my brother Mark the other night. I was talking about how I find myself still telling some of the same life stories.
It's not because I don't have new or recent stories to tell of what the Lord is doing in my life. I do. The Lord is pressing in with risks he's wanting me to take and speaking more in my dreams. He's working.
But I won't ever be done with the old stories. I won't outgrow them. They are a part of my Becoming and I was built out of and from these stories.
I find myself starting on this exact day, six years ago, with My Story. July 20th, 2012 was a new beginning. It was the day I experienced sheer darkness, fear, and panic in a way I'd never known. It was the day I knew what it felt like to be physically out of control.
But it was also the day the Lord answered my prayers of wanting more, of wanting breakthrough, of crying out feeling like there was a wall separating us, but not knowing what it was or how to get through it. I didn't know what would come of these prayers. I certainly wasn't expecting anxiety.
It was as if on that day God said, "I love you and I know you. I know your weak spots. I know your struggles. I know your love for control. I know your struggle with pride. I know the grip of fear in your life. I want to break in and stop this train before you crash."
I can only speak for my situation, but I do believe the Lord allowed me to experience anxiety because of the crazy love he has for me. He knew the ways I responded to life and the lessons I needed to learn and how I needed to learn them in order for them to stick. He knew what would happen if I never hit any sort of rock bottom. He knew I could wreck myself and my relationships. He knew I needed transformation.
I came out of that season stronger and with more compassion for myself and for others. And every time I am in a valley or dark spot in life, that is exactly how I come out every time. Not because I've maneuvered my way through it the "right way" or with grace, but because God is faithful and gracious and good.
I will never tire of telling the story of my anxiety or any of the stories in my life that point to God. I will never stop sharing them.
Several weeks ago, Heather, a woman I've known since middle school, interviewed me on her podcast. A few days ago, the episode was released and My Story was re-told all over again. I can't help but think how beautiful it is that the Lord orchestrated all of this to happen within a few days of the 6 year anniversary.
Along with panic attacks and anxiety, we also talked about motherhood, breastfeeding, songwriting, and how the Lord speaks to me in my dreams. It was such an honor to talk with her and it will be a sweet thing to always have these pieces of my life recorded in my own words, in my own voice.
I hope that you will give this podcast a listen and maybe even pass it along to someone who would find comfort in it. Someone who needs to hear another person recounting the struggles that they too are experiencing. Someone who yearns to feel that "Me too" that we all need.
And I hope you will decide that Your Story is worth telling, too.


A Stanford professor is under investigation for the role he may have played in the birth of the world's first genetically-edited babies at the direction of a Chinese scientist.
Biotechnology professor Dr. Stephen Quake, 49, was an academic adviser eight years ago to Dr. He Jiankui, 35, limited to Dr. He's work on immune responses to the flu vaccine in Dr. Quake's lab while on the California campus.
Dr. He worked with a woman and her HIV-infected male partner, and succeeded in editing a gene in two embryos created with their eggs and sperm to make it impossible for HIV to infect the embryos' cells.
The woman then became pregnant with those two embryos and gave birth to resulting twin girls in October who may be immune to HIV.
Now, Dr. Quake has been accused of being highly involved in the experiment which many scientists and geneticists have called unethical, unsafe, and medically unnecessary, the New York Times reported.
Dr. Quake, however, denies any level of involvement beyond urging Dr. He not to go through with the project in 2016, but then recommending he seek ethical review and oversight once it became clear Dr. He was insistent on moving forward.
In the US, Dr. Quake is widely considered to be a star in the field of genome sequencing, which is essentially drawing up a blueprint of a specific human's DNA, but does not work in genome editing.
To deliberately alter the genes of human embryos with the intent of birthing a child from those embryos is currently illegal in the US, but its not illegal in China.
Dr. Quake said that he told Dr. He not to pursue editing the genes in human embryos using Crispr-Cas9 technology to deliberately disable a gene, known as CCR5. This gene is necessary to make a protein that H.I.V. needs to enter cells.
Dr. Quake said he assumed if Dr. He went this route, he'd be stopped by the appropriate medical and research oversight institutions in China.
Dr. Quake said he had assumed all proper steps had been followed in China.
In June 2017, Dr. He emailed Dr. Quake a document seeming to show a hospital ethics committee had approved his plan.
'It was good to see that he had engaged with his I.R.B.-equivalent there and had approval to do his research, and I'm thinking it's their responsibility to manage this,' Dr. Quake said.
Dr. Quake replied, 'Let's definitely meet up,' and said he did advise Dr. He on when and how to release the news, but said that Dr. He did not follow his ultimate advice to wait for peer review of his process.
Instead, Dr. He announced the birth of the twins in November at a summit on human genome editing in Hong Kong.
Now, one of two Chinese hospitals involved has asked police to investigate alleged 'fraudulent ethical review materials,' according to the Beijing News.
Despite the international outcry against Dr. He's claim that he has edited genes in human embryos which then resulted in the birth of genetically-edited twins, research is being celebrated in the field around the globe, including in the US.
Dr. Shoukhrat Mitalipov, director of the Center for Embryonic Cell and Gene Therapy at Oregon Health and Science University, made history in 2017 by using gene editing on human embryos to successfully remove a dangerous gene mutation that is known to cause heart failure, according to the study published by the nature International Journal of Medicine.
But Dr. Mitalipov told the Times that Dr. He's work is 'completely insane,' adding that it's different from what he does because what Dr. He did is not medically necessary, since HIV-infected sperm does not infect embryos with the disease.
Dr. He said he's not sure that's universally accepted in the medical community.
Rice University, where Dr. He earned a PhD before his postdoctoral work at Stanford, is investigating Michael Deem, who also advised Dr. He.
Dr. Deem has been accused of being actively involved in Dr. He's human genome editing project and had said publicly that he was on site for portions of its execution.
Through his attorneys, Dr. Deem has denied any involvement.


What is a fitting tribute to Stephen Hawking? It's probably not to ask, as John Humphrys unaccountably did, whether the "science community cut him a lot of slack because he was so desperately disabled?" A more insulting idea is hard to imagine: that you spend your life overcoming adversity to get to the top of your field, then the minute you're dead, someone speculates that you'd never have made it without the adversity.
Instead, the question we should be asking in homage to this extraordinary man is what life would be like today for a 22-year-old, recently arriving at Cambridge for graduate studies, diagnosed with motor neurone disease.
Well, he would have a Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessment, and – despite the severity of the disease – would have no guarantee of being successful. Of the nearly one million people moving from Disability Living Allowance to PIP, almost half have had their payments downgraded or stopped. There is a very high error rate – 69% of appeals against the decision are successful. PIP, as the journalist Frances Ryan describes, is a "gateway benefit" to other allowances such as the carers one, so had his been refused or delayed he would have been unlikely to be able to continue his studies.
But let's say he gets it: cuts to local authority budgets mean care packages are designed to cost as little as possible, which often isn't compatible with maximising the independence and potential of the people who need them. Two brothers in Crewe, Ryan and Ashley Worth, who both have Duchenne muscular dystrophy, had to share one carer, which meant that Ryan couldn't go to university. All the principles around disability provision – that the state exists to overcome the obstacles, and nobody's life should be mapped by what they can't do – have been quietly jettisoned by the raw reality of cuts.
However, imagine that our 22-year-old, by some stroke of luck, is living in an affluent area and, chancing upon the right disability assessor, gets the support he needs. He would still need a wheelchair, another postcode lottery: across the UK, a quarter of people referred to wheelchair services by a GP get no equipment at all. In some areas, three-quarters are offered nothing, and have a choice between crowdfunding their equipment and being bed-bound. Hawking, of course, needed more than a wheelchair; able to communicate using only the muscles of one cheek, he used a speech-generation device, which it is impossible to imagine as routine provision from a system with so little interest in what disabled people have to say.
Having won all these battles, our hypothetical physicist now needs the NHS to keep him alive. As Hawking wrote in this newspaper: "In my case, medical care, personal life and scientific life are all intertwined." He was campaigning against the crisis in the health service, underfunding, privatisation, the public sector pay freeze and untenable pressures on staff. He was quite plain on this point: he could not have been the physicist he was without the medical care that he received. And, he argued, with a scientist's rather than a health secretary's command of the data, that that care was under sustained political attack.
He was a genius and a visionary; he had determination and stoicism in superhuman amounts, and arguably nothing so tawdry as bureaucracy could have stood between him and his discoveries. But it is hard to imagine those qualities, abundant as they were, surviving in a world where fighting for what you need to leave the house is itself a full-time job. Genius isn't a freak event: it's something we all build together on the principle that human potential is precious and infinite; or all snuff out together, having ditched that principle.
Vladmir Putin looks spookily unperturbed. Elections looming, international disapprobation heaped upon him and a deadline from the British government whooshing casually past like the expiry date on a coupon for a McDonald's cappuccino, he has the manicured and easy air of a man cast in an advert for successful pension planning. The world unfolds to his design: fear in the hearts of his enemies, impotent flapping from his detractors. Throw in a live tiger for a photoshoot and he will represent the all-seeing modern tsar he has decided his people crave. Plus, his pension is going to be epic.
The normal rules have been suspended. A foreign government, charged with an attack on British soil, simply brushed off the whole business and walked off stronger. The Sun took the painfully principled stance of wanting to boycott the World Cup, but Putin's main rival in Russia, Alexei Navalny, warns that won't be enough: Britain needs to target the oligarchs whose money swills round the capital. It may not be a popular solution when so much of it spills into the Conservative party. Theresa May has a strong but less expensive solution: expel the diplomats. They don't cause as much mayhem as the intelligence agents, but at least you know where they live.
There are more Russian spies on British soil today, according to John Bayliss, ex-GCHQ, than there were at the height of the cold war; but that's less dramatic than it sounds, because there were only 30 back then, all the cool ones going to Germany. London 2018 is the new Berlin of the 80s, nidus of nefariousness, mysterious assassination capital of Europe. It could be the readiness of British banks to launder Russian money, the alacrity with which our political class will receive it, or merely the magnificent architecture. Exactly how it happened, only Len Deighton would know.
It must be confusing to be a kid. Until you're eight, you're worthy of a free school lunch; then suddenly, you no longer need one (huh?) and free school lunches are vigorously means-tested, with your parents having to earn less than £7,400 (at which income, they are themselves probably strangers to lunch) or be Northern Irish.
The Spring budget, meanwhile, features 50m quid to make sure, according to education secretary Damian Hinds, "that all children learn the values that underpin our society – including fairness, tolerance and respect". Would it be cheaper to practise these values, rather than preach them? Not really; but it would be better.


The deadline for mandatory Payroll-Based Journal (PBJ) reporting for long-term care facilities is fast approaching. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is already accepting Payroll-Based Journal Report submissions. There are multiple paths employers can take in order to comply. The best approach not only involves totaling and submitting hours, but also the implementation of proactive processes to monitor and adjust staffing levels to maximize quality of care. Eventually, PBJ reports will be used by the CMS to help determine 5-star ratings.
In this free webinar, learn more about simplifying PBJ compliance success: from understanding the PBJ requirements and compliance strategy options to capture, code, and submit Payroll-Based Journal reports to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, accurately and on time; to best planning practices for ongoing PBJ-related success through dynamic staffing management.

Battle of Agincourt
5 Crucial Battles of the Hundred Years' War

Throughout the Middle Ages England and France were locked in almost constant conflict: technically 116 years of conflict, five generations of kings fought for one of the most important thrones in Europe. The Hundred Years' War was the flash point as Edward III of England challenged his larger and more powerful neighbour to the South. Here are some of the key battles that shaped one of the longest and most drawn out wars in history.
1. The Battle of Crecy: 26 August 1346
In 1346 Edward III invaded France through Normandy, taking the port of Caen and burning and pillaging a path of destruction through Northern France. On hearing that King Phillip IV was raising an army to defeat him, he turned north and moved along the coast until he reached the small forest of Crecy. Here they decided to wait for the enemy.
The French outnumbered the English, but fell foul of the English longbow. The ability to fire every five seconds gave them a huge advantage and as the French attacked again and again, English archers wreaked havoc amongst French soldiers. Eventually, a wounded Philip accepted defeat and retreated. The battle was a decisive English victory: the French suffered heavy losses and the victory allowed the English to take the port of Calais, which became a valued English possession for the next two hundred years.
Relive another famous Hundred Years' War clash with a print of the Battle of Crecy in 1346! This print, painted in an early 15th century manuscript style, depicts English Longbow Archers combatting Genouese Crossbow men on the battlefield in Northern France. Each Print is hand signed by the artist, Mathew Ryan.
2. The Battle of Poitiers: 19 September 1356
In 1355 England's heir Edward – known as the Black Prince – landed at Bordeaux, while the Duke of Lancaster landed with a second force in Normandy and began to push south. They were opposed by the new French King, John II, who forced Lancaster to withdraw towards the coast. He then set off in pursuit of the English and caught up with them at Poitiers.
Initially it seemed as if the odds were stacked against the Black Prince. His army was vastly outnumbered and he offered to return the loot he had plundered during his march. However, John was convinced the English did not stand any chance in battle and refused.
The battle was again won by the archers, many of whom were veterans of Crecy. King John was captured, his son the Dauphin, Charles, was left to rule: faced with populist uprisings and a widespread feeling of discontent, the first episode of the war (often known as the Edwardian episode) is generally seen to have concluded after Poitiers.

3. The Battle of Agincourt: 25 October 1415
With the French King Charles suffering mental health problems, Henry V decided to grab the chance to rekindle England's old claims in France. After negotiations fell through – the English still had the French king John and were demanding ransom payments – Henry invaded Normandy and laid siege to Harfleur. French forces were not assembled fast enough to relieve Harfleur but they did put enough pressure on English forces to force them into battle at Agincourt.
Whilst the French were thought to have at least double the forces of the English, the ground was extremely muddy. Expensive suits of armour proved more of a help than a hindrance in the mud, and under the rapid fire of English archers and their powerful longbows, up to 6000 French soldiers were slaughtered in horrific conditions. Henry executed many more prisoners after the battle. The unexpected victory left Henry in control of Normandy, and cemented the Lancastrian dynasty back in England.
Agincourt is remarkably well documented, with at least 7 contemporary accounts, 3 of which belong to eyewitnesses, in known existence. The battle has been immortalised by Shakespeare's Henry V, and remains iconic in the English imagination.

4. The Siege of Orleans: 12 October 1428 – 8 May 1429
One of the biggest French victories of the Hundred Years' War came courtesy of a teenage girl. Joan of Arc was convinced she had been ordained by God to defeat the English and more importantly so was the French prince Charles VII.
He gave her an army to lead against the English which she used to lift the siege of Orleans. This paved the way for the French prince to be crowned at Rheims. She, however, was later captured by the Burgundians and handed over to the English who had her executed.
Orleans itself was a significant city both militarily and symbolically for both sides. Whilst the English had lost the city itself, they still considered much of the surrounding region, and it took several more battles and months for the French to finally consecrate Charles as King Charles VII.
We've all got that one friend who takes an age to get ready? Chances are they've got nothing on a knight. Check out this film for a detailed look at the process of arming a medieval knight for a tourney.
5. The Battle of Castillon: 17 July 1453
Under Henry VI, England lost most of the gains of Henry V. A force attempted to regain them but was dealt a crushing defeat at Castillon, with high casualties as a result of poor leadership from John Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury. The battle is noted in the development of warfare as being the first battle in Europe in which field artillery (cannons) played a major role.
For all their victories during the war at Crecy, Poitiers and Agincourt, the loss at Castillon saw England lose all their territories in France, except for Calais which remained in English hands until 1558. The battle is considered by most to mark the end of the Hundred Years' War, although this would not necessarily have seemed obvious to contemporaries. King Henry VI had a major mental breakdown later in 1453: many consider the news of the defeat at Castillon to have been a trigger.

Fireworks spectacle at Sherdley Park will hit all the right notes
One of Merseyside's biggest organised firework displays will return to St Helens this Bonfire Night, with organisers promising it to be one of the best displays yet.
'Spark in the Park' – which forms part of the St Helens 150 events programme – is expected to attract thousands of visitors from across the borough and beyond to Sherdley Park once again for a family-friendly show which will see fireworks launched in rhythm with popular music tracks.
St Helens Council's portfolio holder for arts and culture, Councillor Gill Neal said: "This year we will be hosting a musical fireworks display which we believe will be hugely popular and attract a large audience from across the region.
"The fireworks display in Sherdley Park has increased in popularity over recent years and we are urging people to plan their journey via public transport, or to use the secure, designated car parks near the site and arrive in plenty of time."
Secure, stewarded and fully lit car parking is available at Mere Grange; Elton Head Road; the Islamic Centre; Marshalls Cross Road; Sherdley Park; Lea Green Station and Sutton Leisure Centre for £10 per vehicle.
For up-to-date public transport enquiries contact Merseytravel Traveline on 0151 236 7676 or visit www.merseytravel.gov.uk
Hot food and drinks will be available from a number of stalls on the night to keep everyone warm – while a children's funfair, open until 8:30pm, will also be in the park that evening to add to the fun.
Event goers are asked to leave their sparklers at home this year. Spent sparklers that can be missed during the clear up operation can cause serious injuries to those taking part in sports activities and dogs being walked in the park after the event.
The display will get underway at 7:30pm on Monday 5 November.
