A good attendance at the Ceilidh Dance on Friday of about 80 enthusiastic, happy people. Thanks to some students at UBC we had quite a few newcomers so I hope they will return. We also had an addition to the band with Janet bringing her double bass to add more beat to the music. Hope you can come again too, Janet. Louise shared much of the dance instruction with me and Michelle took the group though Terrace Loggers Jig. Thanks to them both, the band and all the helpers – it was a good evening.

Two β-thalassaemia patients, whose constitutive genotype was β39C/β39C→T, had the clinical phenotype β-thalassaemia intermedia. Analysis of leucocyte DNA showed the presence of the mutated β39C→T-gene exclusively, while the normal β39C-gene was also present in reticulocyte RNA. Deletional analysis of chromosome 11p15.5 on leucocyte DNA showed large deletions including the β-globin gene. Two populations of erythroid progenitors, one heterozygous and the other hemizygous for the β39C→T mutation, were demonstrated in one case. This confirms that, in heterozygous individuals, β-thalassaemia intermedia may be caused by inactivation of the β-locus in trans as a result of chromosome 11p15.5 deletions in a subpopulation of haematopoietic cells.

Training report | Pride players see playoffs as real goal in inaugural season
Mike Gramajo / April 12, 2016
If midfielder Kaylyn Kyle's attitude is indicative of the rest of her team's, expect a team to enter its inaugural season in the National Women's Soccer League with high expectations.
The 27-year-old Orlando Pride player told media Tuesday after the team's training session at Moores Station that her personal expectations for the team are to make the playoffs.
"It's just getting out of the regular season and making the playoffs in the first year. That would be pretty special," Kyle said. "You look at our team on paper and we have the players. It's just putting what's on paper onto the field, and we've had an extremely short amount of time together with players in and out with national teams… It's not going to be perfect in the first match, it's not going to be perfect in the second match. So, I think for us, it's just staying focused and knowing things aren't going to be perfect in the beginning of the season."
Kyle said the team has had "such an easy adjustment" with regard to team chemistry in the newly-formed squad.
"I don't know if that's a scary or good thing," Kyle said half-jokingly. "Everyone just has such a positive attitude, and I think that stems from the organization … I mean, what owner comes out here and watches a training session not even on our own training ground."
The Canadian women's national teamer attributed team-chemistry success to Pride head coach Tom Sermanni. Between the players and Sermanni, there's a high level of mutual respect.
"Everyone really respects him as a coach and as a person," Kyle said. "And he respects us, not only as players, but as people as well."
Said Kyle about facing her 2015 team, the Portland Thorns, in the season-opener: "It's exciting. I mean, any time you go to Portland and play in front of a great crowd, it's an amazing feeling, and, you know, they have a really good thing going there, both on the men's and female sides. It's going to be exciting going back there. It's going to be a great game, and, hopefully, we can get our first win in Portland — that'd be pretty special."
Having played in Portland as a Thorn, Kyle understands the atmosphere that the fans bring. Prior to her team's season-opener on Saturday, Kyle said it's about helping the younger girls who aren't acclimated to that kind of environment.
"You know, talking to the younger girls who haven't played in big crowds before and calming them down," Kyle said. "Because it's a tough place to go in and play. The fans are crazy. They chant the whole time, they're screaming and yelling at you. So, it's just getting everyone prepared for that, mentally and physically."
The Pride will host their media day on Thursday and will open their inaugural NWSL season when they travel to face Portland Saturday at 10 p.m. EST.

MemSQL Ops provides a command line interface (CLI) for MemSQL management and monitoring. CLI commands can be run using the memsql-ops prefix on a host with a MemSQL Ops installed.
MemSQL Ops commands were designed to be composable. The command line interface was optimized for scripting MemSQL deployments. For example, this command will SSH into all MemSQL leaf nodes part of the MemSQL Ops cluster and print 'foobar'.
You can also create more complicated commands like the one shown below. This command will deploy MemSQL leaf nodes into all hosts with MemSQL Ops follower agents deployed.
The command above will first list MemSQL Ops follower agent ids, then deploy MemSQL leaf nodes into each of them.
You will notice some commands take positional arguments (i.e. the command can execute against multiple entities), and some only take one argument (i.e. the command can only execute against one entity at a time). This is intentional. For operations where being able to rollback matters, we mandate that these be done in a serialized manner. An example of which is memsql-deploy in the first code snippet above. For operations where rollback is not crucial, such as agent-ssh, we allow having positional arguments and thus running commands in a parallelized way.
Finally, the MemSQL Ops command line interface is also robust. You may notice that in situations where user input to memsql-ops is incomplete, Ops will display a list of options and prompt the users for a choice.
See the sections below for full descriptions and syntax for each MemSQL Ops agent operation.

What's in a name? A lot more than we initially suspect, frankly. We have been talking about "what is "Indie"" for decades -- and probably will for decades to come. My attempt to define "Truly Free Film" has lead me to be called on the carpet more than once for not making TRULY Free Film (we can talk about that in a future post). And that discussion is just for specific monikers. What happens when we start to get poetic and delve in to the realm of metaphor? Today's guest post is from contributor and filmmaker James Fair, and he shows quite well how much the choice of language matters.
Christopher J. Boghosian and Mark Savage both wrote great posts recently that used analogies to identify some of the challenges that face the filmmaker (the baker and the priest respectively). Last year I wrote a post for Randy Finch about why we should be careful with the language we use to identify ourselves as filmmakers, and I want to expand upon why I think it is important here.
Let me give you an example. Let's take the 'professional/amateur' divide. Within filmmaking the common belief is that you are professional if you are paid and make a living from it, you are amateur if you don't. But, working in a university, I meet many people who would argue that LITTLE of the film industry is 'professional', because it rarely requires examinations or formal training to work in many of the roles, which means that it isn't strictly a profession at all, it is a 'job'. The formal training is the distinction between the two, and plenty advocate that filmmakers don't need to be trained. Describing filmmaking as an 'avocation' doesn't seem as derogatory as a 'hobby' because of the connotations attached to the 'calling', as Mark Savage pointed out. The term 'hobbyist' doesn't seem appropriate because filmmaking doesn't often result in the pleasure and relaxation associated with 'hobbies'!
Why is this important? Ultimately, I believe it is our human nature to want to classify things and identify our position within society. It is a way of understanding both others and ourselves. I am a 'nobody' filmmaker creates a distinction from a 'somebody' filmmaker. Therefore their situations are different. I am a 'professional' and you are an 'amateur' means you are not qualified to understand me. The titles position us within society and even within this community that Ted has created. Even worse, the connotations of these titles have the potential to divide us – the 'amateur' thinks they makes films for the 'love of the art' whilst the 'professional' is a 'sell-out'. Andrew Keen's book 'The Cult of the Amateur' attacks amateurism for being sub-par quality, unpaid and unqualified. However, I've seen great quality stuff from unpaid people and I've seen sub-par quality stuff from qualified people. Our lives are more complex than these labels give us credit for.
Therefore, using analogies and metaphors are useful constructs when trying to explain our unusual choice of career to others within society. They help us draw parallels with others around us and help understanding. However, as the debate that followed Mark Savage's post showed, the choice of metaphor is critical, as they too come with connotations. In the last few weeks alone we have seen filmmaking sharing similarities with the baker, the priest, the gambler and the real estate agent. Can we be all or any of these things? They have such different connotations! Describing my role like that of a priest may help me secure funding in future, describing myself as a gambler probably won't. This would be a really great topic for discussion here... what is the best metaphor or analogy and why?
Whilst I believe is that the success of the community depends upon the diversity of people; these titles shouldn't be barriers to our conversation. The new models of cinema haven't been discovered yet so all constructive voices can help us through the paradigm shift. We can all make valid contributions. We should identify with our similarities as filmmakers not our differences. There are occasional voices that aren't constructive, who prefer to hide behind the anonymity of a false name when they troll abuse. If you have belief in your conviction, put your name upon it. The falsehood discredits your argument. The language you use and the way you choose to identify yourself informs the way that everyone else will perceive you.
James is a lecturer in Film Technology at Staffordshire University in the UK. He is currently editing his feature documentary about the North African Sahara, due for release later in 2011.

EPISODE IN ENGLISH!
Speaker: Michael Slote, Department of Philosophy, University of Miami.
Location: University Duisburg-Essen, conference: "Empathy, Sympathy, concern and Value.", March 2013.
Duration: 01:14:06.
00:00:00 ProtreptiCast: Intro.
00:00:24 Short introduction.
00:00:40 Cognitive vs. emotional empathy.
00:03:00 Egoism.
00:05:00 Proximity.
00:06:00 Imitation.

00:30:00 The need for love.
00:35:00 Discussion.
01:12:04 ProtreptiCast: Outro.
Central statements:
"The distinction between cognitive empathy and emotional empathy is not that severe than I /one have /has been thinking before."
"Need for approval is not egoistic."
"The 'egoistic' motives play intrinsic importance on other people, that's why they ar not really egoistic."
"There are motives which are neither egoistic nor altruistic (neutral) like curiosity."
"Marine iguanas like to sun themselves together."
"We like to be like others."
"(Emotional) empathy isn't as passive as we have imaginged, it's something we want (actively)."
"Empathy is a basic instinct or at least something inside of us that moves us into the direction putting oneself into the shoes or the head of the others."
"Empathy means imitating the psyche of another person."
"Empathy involves — according to Hume — a kind of embracing."
"More than like hearing (you can't help hearing something), empathy seems to be like listening — a psychological movement toward the taking-in."
"When we take in the attitudes of others, we take them in with their intentionality."
"When a person is distressed, he or she is distressed AT something — that is the intentionality."
"Empathy means to osmotically imbibe the feelings of another person."
"Having pain includes the ipso-facto-motivation to avoid it."
"Sympathetic concern does not lead to motivation, it is having a motivation — there is a conceptual connection in many cases."
"Defining empathy in the 'right' way leads to the assumption: 'Egoistic' motives can be altruistic as well."
"One way how you get a good relationship between a child and a mother: If the need for love is fullfilled."

Excerpt from Oxford Sholarship Online:
"This book takes a hard-science look at the possibility that we humans have the capacity to care for others for their sakes (altruism) rather than simply for our own (egoism). The look is based not on armchair speculation, dramatic cases, or after-the-fact interviews, but on an extensive series of theory-testing laboratory experiments conducted over the past 35 years […]."

* May, Joshua: Altruism and Psychological Egoism.
Abstract: "Psychological egoism is the thesis that all of our (intentional) actions are ultimately motivated by what we take to be in our own self-interest. This is distinct from ethical egoism, which makes a similar claim that is normative rather than merely descriptive. Many treat altruism as a motivational state that is ultimately other-regarding. (This is importantly different from more technical uses of the term, such as the merely behavioral sense often used in evolutionary theory.) Psychological altruism is the main opposing view, stating that some of our actions are ultimately motivated by genuine altruism (ultimately other-regarding motivations). Importantly, the motivations here must be ultimate or intrinsic. Psychological egoists admit that we can desire to help another, but they will maintain that this is merely instrumental to an ultimate desire that is self-interested. Such a theory is important to ethics in part because it can potentially lead to challenging morality: If altruism is psychologically impossible, then it can't be our duty to be altruistic."

Abstract: "Speaking rather grandly, Egoism is the philosophy of self interest. It says that actions are 'ruled' by self interest which makes it prima facie a philosophy of selfishness. Whether this is its real character needs to be looked into. But first a complication intrudes, for only a little reflection reveals that egoism as here characterized is not one philosophy, but two. These want to be distinguished, and once distinguished, their relations understood. These preliminaries to investigating the merits of forms of egoism and connections with ordinary ideas of selfishness make the business of the present paper."

I spent twenty years in an abusive marriage before finally leaving in January 2010. My three sons and I have endured a great amount of trauma and pain which has had long-lasting effects on all of us. I've come to realize that unfortunately, what you leave is also what you take with you. It hasn't been an easy road. My youngest son, Marc, has had the most difficult time dealing not only with what transpired in my marriage, but with my divorce from his father. Marc struggles with anxiety and depression and he also has ADHD. Everyday presents a new set of challenges that most parents couldn't even fathom.
On a beautiful spring day when Marc was eleven years old, he returned from school clutching a handful of paperwork while impatiently yelling my name.
"Mom, mom, mom!" Marc bellowed.
"Hold on, honey. I'm on the phone." I replied.
I was on the phone with a friend of my father's, Melanie Marks, founder of Connecticut House Histories. At the time, my father, Edward Collins, was devoting a great amount of his time, passion and effort into trying to save Gustave Whitehead's historic home in Fairfield, Connecticut, from demolition. For those of you who don't know, Gustave Whitehead was an aviation pioneer who made history's first manned, powered, controlled, sustained flight in a heavier-than-air aircraft in Bridgeport, Connecticut, two years before the Wright Brothers flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. My mother's grandmother, Mary Savage (Jusewicz) was one of eighteen witness's to Whitehead's flight, so my family has an interest in preserving Whitehead's historical home and legacy.
"What's up, Marc?" I asked.
Confused, I opened the refrigerator and took a quick inventory.
"Where did you get this?" I inquired.
Marc replied, "Mom, I had the best day! We went on a school trip, visited this old house and I learned how people lived in colonial times. This is what they ate. I even saw the kitchen that they cooked in. It was awesome! I'm making dinner tonight…and dessert," he added, handing me another recipe for an apple cobbler dessert.
Glancing over the second recipe, I surmised that we also had all of the ingredients to make the dessert.
I nodded my head, yes. Marc had never shown an interest, and had no experience in cooking for that matter either, especially not dinner and dessert, I thought.
"Marc, these recipes are entirely from scratch," I explained, as I started grabbing all of the ingredients, pots, pans, measuring cups and utensils that he would need.
Kevin yelled for my middle son, Eric (Whose nickname is Rocky). "Rocky, come here, you have got to see this!" Kevin laughed.
Seconds later Rocky flew into the room. "What's going on?" he asked Kevin.
"Well, I'm not eating it." Rocky stated with a snicker.
"Not as easy as throwing a Hot Pocket in the microwave, is it?" I asked, as Marc and I set the table together.
Excitedly, Marc called his brothers for dinner. Reluctantly they came. We sat at the table while Marc filled each of our bowls and served us the first meal that he had ever made entirely on his own. The soup was delicious! Both Kevin and Rocky praised Marc endlessly as they asked for second helpings. Marc beamed as he served each of his brothers more of his colonial soup.
Over dinner Marc told us all about his day and what he had learned about the Osborne family. He mentioned that the lady at the Osborne Homestead said the Osborne family was buried close by, then Marc asked if I would take him to the cemetery to visit their grave-sites.
As dinner was winding down, the timer on the oven went off signaling that Marc's apple cobbler was done.
"What was that?" Rocky asked.
"That's my dessert!" Marc replied.
The smell of baked apples and brown sugar filled the air as Marc served his homemade apple cobbler with a side of whipped cream. Everyone was in heaven as we talked, laughed and devoured our dessert.
"Marc, you did it!" I said, giving him a big hug.
"Thanks, Mom. Are you still going to clean the kitchen?" Marc asked, as he glanced over at the disaster that awaited me.
"Yes Marc, I am. Thank you for making a wonderful meal." I said.
"I love you Mom." Marc replied.
"I love you too, Marc. And I'm really proud of you!" I said.
I am so grateful to the Shelton School system for giving my child the opportunity to visit the Osborne Homestead. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Osborne Homestead for the wonderful learning experience and subsequent inspiration that they provided for my son. It is truly priceless.
I am deeply saddened that Gustave Whitehead's self-built home in Fairfield was not preserved and saved from demolition, nor were P.T. Barnum's Home, Tom Thumb's Home or the Wheeler Mansion, to name just a few.
In a world of YouTube, Netflix and video games, are we as parents offering our children the best learning experiences available to them?
I say my son's experience at the Osborne Homestead answers the above question with a definitive "No." It is important to value, preserve, visit and donate to ensure the continued care of the historical homes in our state for ourselves and future generations. I know I will.
The history teacher and parent in me BOTH love this. Thank you for sharing such a lovely story.
What a cool story! Glad you got out of your bad situation too!
Me too! It was a pretty amazing day for my son to accomplish something so incredible! Thank you for your comment.

Shops in England will routinely charge customers 5p for plastic bags from 2015 under government plans to be unveiled this weekend.
LONDON (AFP) – Shops in England will routinely charge customers 5p for plastic bags from 2015 under government plans to be unveiled this weekend.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg is expected to announce the move at his Liberal Democrat Party's annual conference in Glasgow, which begins Saturday.
The levy is aimed at reducing the environmental impact of non-biodegradable carrier bags.
It would bring England in line with the rest of Britain, with charges already in place in Wales and Northern Ireland and due to come into force in Scotland from October 2014.
The proceeds from the charge, which will only apply in supermarkets and other large shops, will go to environmental charities, not to the government or retailers.
A Lib Dem source said Clegg had to push for the policy to be introduced in the current economic climate.
"Nick Clegg had to fight pretty hard in government to deliver this when everything is about the cost of living," the source said.
The use of plastic bags in Wales has dropped by 75 percent since the charge was introduced there in 2011, Lib Dem sources said.

Private Group Keeps Afghanistan Evacuations Flying Despite Ground Halt
Group leader: "There are Americans saying, 'Help me, help me, help me.' And the State Department is saying, 'Fill out your form in triplicate.'"
Tara Copp
By Tara Copp
Senior Pentagon Reporter, Defense One
While the U.S. government is working to re-establish a regular flow of chartered evacuation flights for the Afghan interpreters and Americans left behind, one small veteran group is pulling off flights on its own. But not everyone's happy about it.
Project Dynamo's latest set of evacuation flights got another 47 Americans and legal permanent residents out of Afghanistan last month. The group's chartered planes took off from Kabul and landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York on Dec. 18.
Despite that success and others, the group has not been included among the larger #AfghanEvac coalition of more than 150 veterans groups that have been welcomed into U.S. interagency planning. The coalition has worked with the State Department to help several thousand Afghans and hundreds of Americans—including some of Dynamo's evacuees—depart through land routes and on State Department-chartered flights since Kabul fell. The coalition is also looking at the long-term picture and the humanitarian needs of those left behind. Group leaders recently met with the National Security Council to discuss the way ahead.
Thousands more special immigrant visa holders and at-risk Afghans, along with some Americans, are still in Afghanistan. But in mid-December, the Taliban halted U.S. government-chartered flights after coalition officials refused to provide seats on the aircraft to members of the group.
Project Dynamo founder Bryan Stern thinks the window of opportunity to help those allies is closing fast. They say they're going at it alone because the larger group is taking too long to act.
US Has Evacuated 42,000 from Kabul; 16,000 in last 24 Hours Alone, Pentagon Says
This has made Dynamo unwelcome among the coalition, members of which cited concerns about its rogue approach.
"We've got people that are feeding folks; we've got people that are doing safe transportation, safe houses, providing medical support, I mean, thousands and thousands and thousands of people," said one member of the #AfghanEvac coalition who asked not to be identified. "This isn't fucking Rambo. Nobody's Jason Bourne. This is a humanitarian effort. The military stuff is done; the spy stuff is done. We are trying to help these real-life humans get the help that they need."
Dynamo's Stern is a Navy reserve officer and an Army veteran with multiple deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq. Like other veterans driven to save their interpreters, Stern decided not to wait for the U.S. government to act to get them out. So he and a few others flew to Uzbekistan instead.
Unlike the other groups, Stern goes into Afghanistan himself to get the evacuees out.
"So Kabul is like my old stomping grounds, right? So when I work, when I deploy, I wear plainclothes, I work the street," he said. "I'm not tactical. I'm not wearing a tactical backpack with all kinds of loops and patches all over it, with, you know, with wraparound Gators glasses and a huge giant watch with an altimeter on it."
"I have spent the night in my own safe house," Stern said. "I know if my toilets work. None of the rest of them can say that."
Stern isn't the only leader of an Afghan-focused veterans group who has decided to pull back from the coalition process. Scott Mann, a retired Green Beret who founded Task Force Pineapple a day after Kabul fell, said his group was part of the larger coalition initially but has since refocused on keeping remaining allies and their families hidden, sheltered, and fed through the winter.
"There's nobody in [Pineapple] that is at odds with Dynamo," Mann said. "I didn't get on an airplane and bring people back, so I sure as hell am not going to sit around and criticize it."
"We've got to get over ourselves and focus on the massive herculean problem we have, which is helping green card holders and at-risk Afghans. We don't have time for infighting."
Stern said he's been able to get his flights in by working old connections and by being pragmatic about who is now in power.
"I don't say, 'Oh, the Taliban.' I say, well, the new government of Afghanistan. Because that's exactly what they are, whether I like it or not. That's a fact of life."
To date, Stern said he's flown 150 Americans and other legal permanent residents back to the U.S. The December flight had a dozen kids on board, the youngest was 11 months old. Despite the U.S. government charter pause, Dynamo was able to get its aircraft out.
"I apply for landing rights the same way everybody else applies for landing rights. I just know how to ask the question the right way," Stern said. "So because I understand the culture a little bit better, and the political scene a little bit better, and I make sure to talk to somebody who I know will also represent us well, and ask the question the right way, such that it's all okay. Not necessarily good. And maybe not necessarily safe. But I get to a 'yes.'"
Stern thinks Afghanistan's security situation is unraveling fast. To him, meeting with the larger coalition to discuss differences of approach is a waste of time.
He's working additional evacuations now, including mustering the money and resources to pull them off. The aircraft for the December flights, for example, were made available by Texas-based defense contractor Berry Aviation. Stern said he's "shamelessly" fundraising now to beat the clock.
"It's been a really, really, really long time, since an American was, you know, shot in the back or anything resembling anything like that [by the Taliban]. At some point that will change, and I think that actually changes pretty soon," he said.
Stern is quick to emphasize he's been going into Kabul as a private citizen acting on his own.
Defense One reviewed documents to confirm Stern's military service. A Navy official who also confirmed Stern's military service said the Navy is not involved and that Stern makes these trips on his own time.
That sensitivity mirrors what the Pentagon has been saying about civilians left behind since their official withdrawal on Aug. 31: The U.S. military is not in Afghanistan, and it will not lead an effort to get the remaining Afghan evacuees and U.S. citizens out.
"For the American citizens he's pulled out of there, they're obviously grateful, but DOD and the Navy hasn't had any comments or reaction because he's doing this as a private citizen," the Navy official said.
A State Department official said any independent actor who moves evacuees outside of the established agreements risks U.S. diplomatic relationships in the region and could reduce the chances of securing a long-term process to get more people out.
"There have been significant challenges with some of these privately organized flights," the State Department official said. In September, six chartered flights were grounded for days at Mazar-i-Sharif because of concerns about who was on the planes.
Inconsistencies on flight manifests "damages the bilateral relationship of the United States with the destination countries; and makes it more difficult for the U.S. government to rely on those partner countries to assist in future relocations out of Afghanistan," the State department official said.
Stern said every thing he's done has been aboveboard.
"I won't move anyone without the State Department at least knowing about it. Wrong to say 'approve' – too strong of a word. But every manifest we've ever done, I share it with State and ask for feedback. They usually don't give feedback."
Stern has been focused on Afghanistan since the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, when the young Army corporal exited the New York subway at the World Trade Center stop on his way to a briefing. He'd begun assisting bystanders when the second plane struck; the collapse shredded his pants to his underwear.
Stern admits he never made a very good soldier.
"I've been a problem child my whole career," he said. "I'm just not built that way to work with the government. I wish I was. But what drives me now is there are Americans saying, 'Help me, help me, help me.' And the State Department is saying, 'Fill out your form in triplicate.'"
"In January 2022," he said. "That seems just really hard to understand."

Connect Audience is your clever Facebook retargeting system from the Connectio team.
It permits you to make custom viewers based on tasks they take through your email auto-responder.
For example if on a link opens the email or click on it is possible to send advertisements to them depending on the actions taken.
However, why is this significant?
Because regrettably a single touch marketing's times are dead!
Basically in research it's been found that clients will need to be touched/targeted an average of 7 times before they buy.
...That is why you see banner advertisements chase one around the Web after you express interest in a commodity.
However, you targeted with your advertising and can get REALLY personal.
Best results come when you utilize a multi platform approach.
...Along with the more concentrated you get the lower your ad spend.
Its no secret open rates in mails are dropping.
Therefore, if you merely send an email with no follow up advertisements then you will be seeing a decrease in conversion rates.
If you junk your listing to make up for the drop conversions then you lose subscribers.
...You send 1-2 emails and retarget no more than the interested subscribers on FB.
Those who clicked on a hyperlink and for example: those who only opened.
Facebook advertisements doesn't have these features, therefore it is bridging a large gap in programs.
As I'd expect from Wilco along with the Connectio team it is really well constructed.
They have been testing it for months with users and results are remarkable.
For a must have piece of kit.
For it's the ideal entry point.
The up-sell is ConnectRetarget, yet another amazing tool I reviewed a couple of months ago.
It enables you to create audiences based on website actions, such as time on the site and page scroll.
For me the 2 tools go together.
Which means higher conversions and also lower ad spends.
It is not the cheapest in that which you store, but it will pay for itself.
Yes yes! Retargeting is the only way to utilize FB advertisements (in my opinion), you are only targeting interested people so conversions will likely be higher.
Connect Audience allows you to be more targeted, which will consequently save and make you more money.
"I been ignored with Wilco's support and development group, you certainly need that with every instrument that you set your money in. You get a reply to some question in a matter of hours and from WIlco himself! I buy anything that he creates that matches my business as a result of this. He's been supporting and incorporating attributes and integrations not just but each one of his tools for many years now. Thus UNSEEN in this industry!"
"This is only one of the most innovative pieces of software I've ever seen. It brings a sort of innovation to the market that will enable you to hyper-target your campaigns that you run on Facebook to this point at which you minimize your ad spend to levels that I haven't seen previously, while producing greater results, more revenue and more earnings through the ad campaigns that you run"
"Facebook is amoung the most effective tactics to reach just the right audience for a extensive selection of merchandise and services and ConnectAudience makes doing Facebook advertising a snap. I'd recommend it to anyone who requires a quick and effortless method to achieve and interact with their audience. "
"I really like this program. It is cloud based and can be basically a"set it and forget it" type of tool. I start building an email optin list or a webinar signup, I simply add a new retargeting viewer to ConnectAudience and the program updates Facebook daily with optins. I use it primarily on retarget"lookalike" crowds to my current customers. I've been successful with this strategy in adding new clients. The practice is excellent and the dashboard is coordinated in a means that is simple to understand and immediately get started. I strongly recommend using this software if you experience an email list and a Facebook account."
"I am a complete newcomer with facebook but Join Audience has allowed me to show quite targeted ads to folks who continue used our support either 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 years ago based on the last job date we've got on our database. A vital benefit is that because ConnectAudience is linked to some Infusionsoft system it upgrades the viewers daily, so people who do respond and reserve a job or quotation after seeing the ad are automatically taken out of the viewers automatically, with no manual input. The essential thing is, the response to those advertisements which specifically state"Hey, it's been almost X years since we heard in you..." have been the top performing ads of ANY Facebook advertising we have done. Normal costs per click through have been around US$1.88 and our average sale is around #140.00"
"I buy pretty much every software Wilco releases for two reasons: 1 ). He uses them in his marketing and they rock. 2. Wilco not just supports and updates his software consistently, he integrates new softwares with them making them more effective and powerful because of the marketing and advertising efforts.
ConnectAudience is no exception, and in a marketing world where networking platforms are changing often, it is a relief to learn that Wilco is on top of this, and retains his platforms up to date.
Technical details have derailed my efforts in the past, and ConnectAudience was a life saver for me with respect to FB viewers and maximizing their effectiveness.
Wilco has my hope, and I highly recommend all and any his goods. "
"ConnectAudience is a very powerful instrument. I like the ability to target my Facebook ads to people on a specific email list of mineand have the crowd automatically with my autoresponder daily. Between the online resources I use, the user port of ConnectAudience is one of my favorites..."
"ConnectAudience permits you to really dig deep as well as re-target people that opened, or unopened your message, clicked on your link and you may put in particular rules on your re-targeting.
This is a tool that I will keep using. You will kick yourself if you don't buy! Wilco's products are almost always first class and his service is just one of the best around."
"If you ever plan to advertise for your customers or for your own products/services on Facebook, subsequently registering to Wilco's ConnectAudience program is really a no-brainer. We always get 3-400% ROIs (sometimes even higher) on targeting lookalike audiences of our readers who clicked email offers -- exactly as Wilco guides"
"After utilizing ConnectAudience to get a couple of days in my Facebook efforts I went from fighting Facebook advertiser to some exceptionally satisfied advertiser. I was amazed in the difference the ConnectAudience software managed to deliver along with the dramatic increase in subscriber rates combined with the simplicity of usage.
With its auto updating features I am currently able to invest more time. Thank you Wilco for developing this fantastic tool."
"Yes, great training & support for an amazing tool that's a game-changer for follow up & cross-channel advertising."

Democrats didn't talk enough about racism in their first primary debate
On Wednesday, some candidates talked about race and racism. But they didn't really go into specifics.
In a Wednesday night debate marked by serious — and at times confrontational — discussions of policy, candidates didn't have much to say about how these issues affect communities of color, a large swath of the population that plays a significant role in the Democratic electorate.
It wasn't that race wasn't discussed at all. There was a robust discussion on immigration, and several candidates — including Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro — briefly commented on issues like police violence, voting rights, and black maternal mortality. But they were just that, often isolated to a statement from a single candidate before the conversation pivoted to a different topic.
Some of this is simply due to the debate format. Beyond two questions about black and Latino voter turnout, few, if any, questions centered specifically on race or racism. Policy-wise, the only debate that occurred was on immigration — certainly an important issue, but just one of many that voters of color are looking at in this election cycle.
The night's limited discussion of issues faced by voters of color stands in stark contrast to the role these voters play in the Democratic Party. Recent months have seen candidates discuss gentrification, the racial wealth gap, reparations, police violence, and other issues, all in an effort to reach voters of color, particularly black voters, who could play a pivotal role in primary states like South Carolina. And several candidates have introduced policy plans that suggest significant differences in how they are thinking about racism and the struggles of black and brown communities in the US.
Unfortunately, that conversation didn't really get a chance to play out on the debate stage.
Candidates had few chances to have policy discussions about race and racism during Wednesday's debate
Many of the references to communities of color that did occur came from Booker, the only African American candidate onstage. In his response to a question about the power of corporations, Booker pointed to the ways the economy was playing out in the black and brown communities he serves, saying that "this economy is not working for average Americans." He later pointed to his community again when answering a question about health care, arguing that limited access to health care was also an education and jobs issue for black and brown communities.
There were also two moments where candidates discussed police violence: first, when New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio pointed to the importance of understanding police shootings as a form of gun violence disproportionately affecting communities of color, saying that it was important to build relationships between police and communities. He noted that he had direct experience as mayor of a city that has been rocked by high-profile incidents of police violence, though he did not acknowledge that he has also faced criticism for his handling of high-profile cases like the 2014 death of Eric Garner.
De Blasio also argued that "raising a black son in America" sets him apart from other candidates on the stage, a statement that might not have been intended as a slight but certainly sounded weird with Booker — himself a black son — onstage.
The second moment came when Castro, the only Latino candidate in the 2020 field and the only candidate who has released a comprehensive policing reform platform, argued that his campaign considers it crucial to discuss racial and social justice issues. "I'm proud that I'm the only candidate who put forward legislation that would reform our policing system in America and make sure no matter what the color of your skin is, you are treated the same," he said.
Plenty of questions could have been asked. One day after the sixth anniversary of the Supreme Court ruling that blunted the Voting Rights Act, candidates could have been asked about their plans to fight voter suppression and its effects on communities of color. Given that many voters of color have said that they are especially concerned about a rise in reported hate crimes and violence from white supremacists, candidates could have been asked for specific plans to help these communities on this topic. Discussions of the economy and the gender pay gap could have included targeted questions about how to address the fact that women of color are often paid less than not only white men but white women as well. (To her credit, Klobuchar brought it up on her own in answer about economic opportunity.)
There were other topics, too, such as education inequality, black and Latino unemployment, and affordable housing. Even the topics that were discussed, like police shootings, could have been better served by a full debate question.
To be fair, this is the first of many debates, and there will be many chances for these topics, and others, to be discussed. But if anyone was hoping to hear any sort of intensive discussion of the issues affecting communities of color in the first debate of the 2020 season, they didn't get to hear much.

A trip to North Yorkshire - Day 2
Sunday dawned dry but a bit cloudier and we had the advantage of starting directly from the campsite as the day's lap was in the Cropton Forest. Refuelling of bikes was not allowed on the camp site but on the end of the field where the Parc Ferme was located. Luckily for me this was about 20 yards away from where I was parked.
The lap started and Dave and I headed off up the road, then through the forest on tracks and fire roads before reaching the first checkpoint of the day. We then has a short ride up the road through one of the fords we had passed through the day before (this one almost dry) albeit in the opposite direction and then back into the forest. Again it was pretty uneventful with a mixture of terrain until we reached the special stage. Starting once again with a sighting lap, it started well with a long descent on a fire road to a sharp hairpin bend that took you back up hill, all very fast and pretty straight forward…. And then we hit the first forest section!
This was brutal with twin parallel ruts along a narrow track through the trees, it was just a question of pushing, shoving and manhandling your bike through the mud. A short respite from the ruts didn't last long and you were into another section of muddier and deeper ruts where it was a case of everyone pitching to help each other get their bikes through. A twisty single track descent through the forest followed where the mud was so slippery it was more a case of going where you went, rather than where you wanted to go. On this stage I actually managed to run into and fell a small tree!
Dropping out onto a fire road gave another short respite before more but thankfully easier ruts then a another descent through a less dense area of woodland, again where steering was more luck than judgement and into the final stage round the perimeter of two large fields of waist high grass, through which a wet, slippery and very rutted track had developed to finally finish the stage.
The course continued with some tricky sections but was largely uneventful apart from the occasional tumble on some of the slippery sections and the problems caused by my right hand footrest getting bent in the ruts which made it difficult to stand up on the pegs but I survived until the campsite was reached. A quick refill of petrol and a run back to the truck to retrieve a 4lb hammer and the footrest was "persuaded" back into shape!
A bite to eat and a drink and we were ready to go again for lap two, this was relatively straightforward until the special.
I fired the bike off down the fire road and went into the hairpin far too fast but somehow managed to slide my way round, hitting the bad ruts was a nightmare and I got stuck behind another rider, he got going again but I was stuck! Luckily another rider whose race was over due to a snapped chain came to my aid and got me out of the rut. I slipped, scraped and dragged my way through the ruts and then had a big crash on the slippery descent and then again at the bottom landing up in the ditch at the edge of the fire road. Luckily it was nowhere near as deep or as wet as the one I found on the Keilder. I managed to complete the special stage only to crash big time at the finish as the ruts across the field were becoming unridable, luckily I crashed after the timing lights.
Dave finished soon after and we carried on to find one particularly bad rocky descent had been bypassed for big bikes, something we were both grateful for.
A repeat of the process at the end of the lap, refuel, hit the footrest with the hammer (bent again), eat, drink and off to the start again.
By now Dave was missing his number plate and I had managed to snap the end off my clutch lever but otherwise we were doing alright.
The last lap was a repeat of the second and the special was no easier, this time the organisers were diverting the big bikes up the side of the rutted track, i.e. one line of trees (in the parallel planted forest) to the left that they had cleared of fallen branches etc, this was great but didn't last long. Back into the ruts the rider in front of me decided it was a good idea to get into the parallel route again even though this section was a bit overgrown, he was doing OK and myself and several other bikes followed until he hit a root and stalled. Unfortunately he was on a Honda XR…. So no electric start! And anyone who has tried to kick start a big single when it's hot will know it's no easy task. After a wait that seemed to take forever but was most probably no more than 30 seconds, he gallantly laid his bike over to one side and we were able to ride over his tyres to continue.
Soon back in the ruts I was doing OK until I came across a rider trying to get out of the ruts as he had got hung up on a root but had got stuck at right angles. I stopped and stepped off my bike, which remained sitting upright in the rut. I helped him get his bike off the track and round a large tree and returned to my bike, started it up and got hung up on the same root!
Luckily the rider I had just helped had reached the end of the ruts, parked up and came back to help me. Once we were both free I tackled the slippery descent. Dave had passed me stuck in the rut and I had then passed him on the slippery descent, I didn't see him again to the end of the stage that I managed to slide round without falling off or getting stuck again and then waited about five minutes for him to appear at the finish line. I was able to get some photos of him as he rode in across the rutted field;
All that remained was the straightforward ride out and back to the campsite, the bikes got packed away and we all headed for home, for me that was a five hour trek down the A1 to home, not bad for a Sunday night.
Next instalment we are back to Wales for the first time since my DNF at the RallyMoto Sprint and a rather long wait for the results of the Rydale.

Father's Day has just passed and hopefully you took the time to appreciate the father in your life, whomever it may be. As I have written before, Father's Day is an interesting holiday to me. I am not a father, but I think the relationship between a father and a child is a unique one and it tends to be a more complicated one than the mother and child dynamic.
As I was driving around the city last week, enjoying the excellent weather, for the first time I noticed that there were women and children everywhere, but you rarely saw the fathers or men. I am not talking about young men, but grown men. And I not only asked where are all the fathers, but where are all the men period?
The absence of men is not something unique to the inner-city, but in almost every institution the women outnumber the men-church, higher education, families, professional organizations, etc. In my own humble opinion, I believe that there is a crisis in manhood in America. Men have lost their identity to the point where all we have left is a caricature of what a man is.
In our own time, we went from Metrosexuals being in vogue to the throwback strong silent, manly man being what is popular now. What is a real man? What is the purpose of males in society? These questions are deeply important because if you do not know what a real man is and what a man's purpose is, then the stage is set for chaos. But more importantly, how can you be a real father if you do not know how to be a real man?
This is just my opinion, but to me, a man is a person who is responsible. As long as man has been on the earth, males have been charged with various responsibilities. God told Adam to name the animals, tend to the garden and exercise dominion over his environment. He also told him not to touch that tree. In the modern context, that means he is accountable and about his business. He is a good steward. Men are also disciplined. This means that they have self-control. This also means that he walks in character and integrity so that he is trustworthy. How can you be trusted to handle responsibilities if you cannot even control yourself?
Because a man is disciplined, he can be depended on to be the standard-bearer. This means he manages change and insures the quality of anything he is a part of. This demands that he be decisive and have some sense of direction/vision. And in order to meet all of the demands of this life, he must be strong and courageous. This means he is confident and has backbone. When something is not right, he is going to speak up. He will protect what is his and also be assertive. But he also will sacrifice for the greater good. A man is also a servant to those who depend on him. The strength aspect is normally emphasized more than the others, but all are important. When all these attributes are in play, the male is a wondrous thing.
Too often, fatherhood forces boys to become men. The new Dad finds a whole new list of responsibilities added to his resume. First, a father provides. In the most basic sense, economically. However, a father is the source because a lot is drawn from him. A lot of times, it falls to the father to provide guidance/wisdom about how the world works while simultaneously providing protection to his offspring and his significant other. The father also imparts discipline to the child. You see it in little babies, they respond differently to male energy than to female energy.
But I think the most important thing a father gives his child is a sense of identity. By being someone's son or daughter, you know who you are and consequently what is expected of you. There are parameters associated with having the Father's name. A father sets the culture for the family structure by being an example. A father is supposed to be a reflection of the character of our Heavenly Father. People who normally have a hard time with their spiritual life often times do not have the most functional relationship with their earthly fathers.
Growing up, I received favor and special treatment because of who my father was. I knew how I was supposed to act and handle certain situations as a man by watching my father, grandfather and uncles. Now, too many of our children do not have that influence. And too many young men become fathers without fully growing and embracing their manhood. Also, a lot of young women do not know how to interact with a man or how his purpose interacts with her purpose. And the result is what we have now, a lot of chaos. You cannot give what you do not have.
As you can probably tell, this is an issue that is definitely on my mind. Nowadays, there is an attack on everything that celebrates masculinity and manhood. Any mention of gender roles and you are labeled as sexist. Men have been shackled from fulfilling their purpose. We have been too busy living up to someone else's idea of who we should be instead of defining it for ourselves. Manhood is a fluid concept, it being a social construction and all, but there are some constants, regardless of what is in fashion in society at the time.
Let's face it, being a man is a thankless job, but the world needs real men to step up. Children need their fathers to set the parameters and impart identity. Men who are not afraid to live out their principles.
The funny thing is, when a man is comfortable with himself and his role, he is not intimidated by "strong" women. What we fail to understand is that there is a hard side and a soft side to strength. Strength can be manifested in a variety of ways. Strong women never intimidated me, because I knew I was not going to let anyone run over me. No one has to let me be a man, because that is what I am. It is more an issue of it that status is recognized and respected. Just like I would recognize and respect a woman. If the individual does not want to recognize my purpose and program, then it is not meant to be. But I digress.
So the question becomes, how do we reclaim our identity? What does it mean to be a real man to you? What does it take to be a real father?
Also, if any wonderful woman would like to write the corollary to this (i.e. the purpose of woman) then we can eventually bring it together and see how we can harmonize our purposes together. I know Dr. Miles Monroe has written two books on this subject for starters, but I would be interested in seeing what the Superspade community has to say about these complex topics.
Til' then, I am celebrating my manhood.
Well said. Check your last paragraph and make a correction. I think tha you forgot the "be" before interested.
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! I am a father of Five and I have been trying to understand and communicate with my children what there roles are and how they perseave themselves and there mates to be, this helps a lot.
I appreciate your comments. I am the oldest of five, so I know how important your presence is to your children, so I commend you for actvely preparing them for their respective roles and responsibilities. Believe me, it is something a lot of our youth is not getting.
