When writing the month's review one month ago, I had turned cautiously pessimistic about the future of Bitcoin. The price had tumbled by 40%, media attention was dwindling, and regulatory agencies were beginning to come against Bitcoin in full force. Now, however, the situation has changed. The price has recovered, to the point of even breaking a major downward trend, the graph of attention on Bitcoin has changed from a decline to a plateau, and on the regulatory front Bitcoin businesses are fighting back, both in the United States and the European Union. Businesses are continuing to develop and emerge, and the in-person Bitcoin economy, consisting of meetups and Satoshi Square events, is booming. Of course, it is far too early to say that we are free and clear; on the regulatory front, Bitcoin will be under attack for years, and merchant adoption is a challenge that will never go away. But the Bitcoin community has proven itself to be strong, and has plenty of resources and tools with which to face the challenges that the next few years will bring.
Two off-campus housing developments officially approved by the Brigham Young University in Idaho began accepting bitcoins.
Predictious, a Bitcoin-based prediction market, opened its doors this month. Predictious is far from the first site that allows Bitcoin users to bet on real-world events, but it is the first to use a market system rather than the parimutuel betting employed by its predecessors; market systems are generally considered superior because, unlike parimutuel systems, the market price precisely reflects the sites's users' opinion of the chance that a given event will take place.
BIPS announced Danske Bitcoin, a service which allows those with credit cards and bank accounts based in Denmark to nearly instantly buy bitcoins with their smartphones.
BlueVPN, a "virtual private network" service that helps users protect the privacy of their internet connections, started accepting Bitcoin.
The Nikkei MJ newspaper ran a front-page article about the first restaurant in Japan to accept Bitcoin. Japan is best known in the Bitcoin world for being the home of the leading Bitcoin exchange MtGox.
BitPay's Tony Gallippi announced that the company has processed a transaction volume of $7 million, 35% higher than in March. The company also announced a partnership with the popular online e-commerce platform 3dcart, allowing sixteen thousand merchants the chance to accept Bitcoin through BitPay without any technical effort beyond selecting the option and specifying their bank details.
The BitGive Foundation, a nonprofit started by Connie Gallippi (sister of BitPay's Tony Gallippi) with the aim of donating to environmental and public health causes around the world, announced its launch at the Inside Bitcoins Conference.
Coinforest launched a Bitcoin-based group buying website, offering its users large discounts on daily deals.
The Liberal Alliance, a classical-liberal leaning party in Denmark, became the first national party worldwide with seats in parliament to accept bitcoins.
Sean's Outpost, a Bitcoin-accepting homeless shelter in Florida, announced that it had produced 13,000 meals for the homeless paid for with Bitcoin donations.
The United States' Security Exchange Commission filed charges against Trendon Shavers, the mastermind of the $5 million Bitcoin Savings and Trust ponzi scheme after nearly a year of investigation. An initial defense that the scheme was not under the SEC's jurisdiction because Bitcoin is not money failed spectacularly in court.
The Bank of Cyprus and its creditors reached an agreement that will stabilize the bank's finances, at the cost of seizing 47.5% of all deposits at the bank exceeding 100,000 EUR per person. 37.5% had already been seized in April with another 22.5% provisionally frozen to pay for potential emergencies; under this deal, the additional 10% will be taken from the frozen funds and the remaining 12.5% unfrozen and returned to its owners.
Freedom Hosting, a web hosting service used by nearly half of al major hidden services on the Tor network, was shut down by Irish authorities, and its owner arrested and awaiting possible extradition to the United States.
Germany's largest Bitcoin exchange Bitcoin.de, announced that it has reached a deal with Fidor Bank with which Bitcoin.de users' fiat currency balances would be, optionally, converted into fully fledged FidorPay bank accounts. These bank accounts can be deposited to, withdrawn from and used to store money just like any other bank account, but at the same time will soon offer nearly instant Bitcoin trading through bitcoin.de's interface.
A group of Bitcoin business owners and others in the digital currency field including Hub Culture's Stan Stalnaker announced that creation of DATA ("Digital Asset Transfer Authority"), a self-regulatory body for Bitcoin and digital asset-related businesses.
The Bitcoin community in Berlin organized a successful Bitcoin meetup with dozens of people attending.
The Inside Bitcoins Conference took place in New York, attracting attention from Bitcoin users from around the world, venture capitalists and many others.
The Bitcoin community grew massively in Argentina, with Bitcoin downloads rising by a factor of three compared to June and the local meetup boasting over 180 attendees.
CoinAva, the first Iranian website dedicated to Bitcoin, opened to the public, soon followed by Poolfa.
A group of Bitcoin users in Montreal announced their plan to create the Montreal Bitcoin Embassy, a physical location that would serve as a permanent Bitcoin hub for the city.
Leading Bitcoin exchange MtGox announced that it has started using the Akamai computing network to host its services, allowing the exchange to serve users from thousands of servers around the world.
Lead Bitcoin protocol developer Gavin Andresen proposed Bitcoin wallets with two-factor authentication, using two-of-two multisignature transactions between the user and a centralized service.
Gavin also announced a payment message protocol, to be added into bitcoind starting from version 0.9. The protocol would allow online merchants to initiate payment requests that would need to be confirmed by customers, with the intent of increasing the convenience and security of online Bitcoin transactions.
Sunny King released Primecoin, the first cryptocurrency whose mining algorithm is intended to perform a useful function in addition to serving as the proof-of-work to prevent 51% attacks. The function: discovering long Cunningham chains of prime numbers. Three days later, Primecoin had an exchange and gambling site accepting it and had already broken two world records for the length-9 Cunningham chains with the largest first prime.
A number of alternative cryptocurrency-specific websites sprung up in the past month to cope with the spike in public interest in the currencies.

The flowers have five petals and are coloured white, pink, purple or blue, often with distinctive veining. Geraniums will grow in any soil as long as it is not waterlogged. Propagation is by semiripe cuttings in summer, by seed, or by division in autumn or spring. Confusingly, "geranium" is also the common name of members of the genus Pelargonium (sometimes known as 'storksbill'), which are also in the Geraniaceae family.
However, not all geranium species are winter-hardy.The shape of the flowers offers one way of distinguishing between the two genera Geranium and Pelargonium. Geranium flowers have five very similar petals, and are thus radially symmetrical (actinomorphic), whereas pelargonium flowers have two upper petals which are different from the three lower petals, so the flowers have a single plane of symmetry (zygomorphic). Scientists from the Helmholtz Zentrum Munchen, Germany have found that South African geranium plant extracts represent a potential new class of anti-HIV-1 agents for the treatment of AIDS.
One of the most Important Essential Oil in a perfumers lab , and nearly all perfumers will have two to three or maybe more types of Geranium in their lab. One of the best known floralizer and limitless in application and percentage use in a compound. However technically there is only one True Geranium and that is Zdravetz Oil and the other so called Chinese Geranium , Egyptian Geranium etc are from the Pelargonium Family.


Welcome to the OWH World Card Making Bloghop! For the wintry theme, I decided to make this Christmas card using OWH Sketch 79 and Stampin' Up!'s Polar Party stamp set.
Operation Write Home has been such an inspiration for my Stampin' Up! group. We have been making cards for the troops and have already sent out close to 100 cards. Each month, we collect cards at our demonstrator meeting. I have enjoyed reading the emails from the troops. If you don't already participate in OWH, please visit their blog and join in the fun.

Well, I do have to credit Coast to Coast with solving my severe sleep disturbances. There were times I would feel as if I were being attacked by a malevolent presence as I would sleep, generally as I went to sleep.
They were talking about similar things happening in sleep. I can't remember what supernatural explanation they came up with, but I was on my way to work a midnight shift at the time, so I spent some time doing internet research on some more reputable sources on the things they were talking about. After a few hours, I discovered that that my symptoms were often associated with not getting enough air. I tried nasal strips to open my nasal passages when I slept. The nightmares went away. Now I only have them if I don't wear a strip for a couple of nights. Sure the show was complete BS, but without it, I would likely still be having terrifying nightmares on going to sleep.
Wait, so Coast to Coast AM isn't a Steve Jackson Games-inspired LARP?
A post on Facebook pointed me to FreePatriot. The link mentions close to 400,000 U.N. troops training here, FEMA camps, etc.
I love listening to Coast to Coast while I drive to the deer stand because it runs from the deeply bizarre to the truly inane. And, that's the only time I listen to it, driving to the deer stand, which is about 40 minutes from the house.

I sometimes listen while driving to the heliport to go offshore.
First, I must look into this Coast to Coast thing. It sounds like it could be very entertaining.
Second, I strongly disagree with listing Gun Owners of America (GOA), Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) as non-news sources. I mean really, all you have to do is realize that exactly the opposite of what they say is in fact truth and your're set! It's like a magic decoder ring!
Found another one for the list.


In the practice of Tibetan Buddhism, there is an axiom, and thus is it spoken: The Bell and the Vajra are always to be used TOGETHER. The bell is rung as the Vajra (also called the Dorje), is raised and it's powers released. To understand them, their mean ings should be considered together as well as apart.
The Bell is female. When filled with sound, the grace of it's ring cleanses the space around it of any negative influences at hand. It is also used to punctuate the various stages of a ritual. They are generally seen in three different sizes, producing th ree varying notes. Each of these are related to three of the major vibrational chakra centers in our bodies. The largest vibrates to the key of our heart, and opens the center there. The medium size vibrates the third eye (ajna), and the smallest and high est note, to the crown chakra, directly above our head. The body is our temple, and filled with gates, these being but a few. By awakening them, one is brought closer to the Throne of Wisdom (perfect balance).
There are seven to ten (depending on your source or inner vision) chakras above the crown, our thousand-petaled lotus. These are extremely subtle, and they are reached through the gate at the Crown. Essential to our existence, down through them comes the bioenergetic life force we need to survive. Through it, we access our deities, angels and protectors. All Buddhist visualizations use this process, where each deity melts into the one below it until all are finally dissolved into one's Crown. (For Kabbali sts, these Chakras fall into the category of the Ains).
The Vajra represents the male force. It's name means literally, the 'Thunderbolt", and is held by the right thumb and middle finger, at its mid-way point. It is often used somewhat like a wand; held up, pointed out, and waved in the air (in specific patte rns) in a dance to dispel negative forces (any entity or obstacle to the ritual being performed). The power gathers at the upper end and is then released by pulses of laser-like energy.
In advanced Vajrayana ritual, the lower end is placed in the center of one's right palm. Here, stellar energy is drawn into the Vajra, where it then flows into the practitioner. It proceeds down the arm and into the heart, where it can reside, or else it can flow into the left arm, and from there, into the Bell. This infuses the Bell's vibrations with the Vajra's force and strengthens its own powers increasingly, as a loop of energy, while it is being rung. In this way, it can be used in invoking or calli ng a specific deity. In such rituals, termed 'empowerments', the Bell calls the deity's attention. The deity's force ignites the Vajra, whose energy flows then either into the heart of the practitioner, or in and out again, into the Bell, strengthening th e Bell's call each time a circuit is completed. Thus, the Bell-song has become the medium through which the deity touches the spirits of the participants.
In order to perform an empowerment, a single Lama will spend months preparing himself to be a clear channel of the force to be called. A group of Dharma (lit. 'truth') students then come together to be given the 'introduction' (my own term) to that deity. The Lama provides that introduction by becoming the deity himself!
Such sacred ritual should not be attempted without detailed personal instruction from one's experienced Dharma teacher (guru). It is very powerful as well as dangerous, and should therefore be approached with knowledge, respect and caution. In such an emp owerment, the danger is minimized by the Lama's knowledge and purity. In one aspect, the Lama may be seen as the Vajra, and the participants as the Bell!
For those who attend these, preparation would include personal purification (such as leaving one's past, as well as shoes, at the door), and dedication to the Dharma. Those who receive this introduction within their hearts are then expected to do follow-u p practices daily, usually in the form of mantras and visualizations.
So-the Bell and the Vajra are seen to be at the very heart of the spirit of Tibetan Buddhism. They are used again and again.
Last summer, while in meditation in my garden, I was given a vision of a dark, sticky tar-ball of a thing: my ego taken form. So hard it was and dense, that I was in despair of ever being able to destroy it. Immediately afterwards, I saw many Vajras, from all directions, striking it with their lightning flashes. In this way, I was shown a method of meditation in order to free myself. The emptiness of the Bell was left in its place. The blue sky, unobscured by clouds. Empty, but not empty--for its hollow i nterior was filled by the vibrations of purified spirit.
All in all, the Male and Female forces must be used TOGETHER in order for them to function and for their purposes to be fulfilled. In such balance lies the Heartdrop of Dharma. And it is in this way that Wisdom grows in Balance, and the Middle Path become s visible.
Who is to say Nay?
If you see the Grasses, and I, the Iris?
Still, it is the same Path.
We take from it, that which is best for us.
There are only more Proofs.

Naming the Budget
Published:Thursday | April 1, 2010 | 12:00 AM

Lance Neita, Contributor
The Budget debate this year is likely to be an acrimonious affair charged as it is with the controversial International Monetary Fund stipulations to be played out as events unfold.
The reduced Budget laid on the table by Finance Minister Audley Shaw is a 'no surprise' one but gives the Opposition much room for articulating the nervousness and discomfort that is already being felt in sectors to be affected by the proposed cuts.
The Speaker will have his hands full as the more energetic members get ready to rumble. Parliament is, of course, no stranger to spirited exchanges and the rough and tumble of debate. Nor should one expect meek and mild behaviour from persons saddled with the responsibility of dissecting and analysing such issues and proposals that will have long-lasting impact on the future of Jamaica.
Indeed, during the 1969 debate The Gleaner's parliamentary reporter Ulric Simmonds, feared and respected for his cutting critique of politicians, opined that "a little boisterousness is the very essence of good parliamentary debate", and thought that the Speaker had put "a hurried damper on the natural ebullience of Bully Josephs, Victor Grant, Ernest Peart, Keble Munn, Wills O. Isaacs, and Florizel Glasspole".
However, we hope that this year's performance will be of a high standard and will avoid the boorishness that too often clouds the issues.
Fortuitously, the opening of the debate coincides with a period when the nation's attention, focused on the serious matter of bun and cheese consumption at this time of the year, may be distracted from having to follow too closely the other weighty matters being taken up in Gordon House.
There was a tradition or trend, notably in the 1960s, when the finance minister would attach a name to his Budget presentation. Donald Sangster described his first Budget presented in 1962 as the Stocktaking Budget, noting that the new Government needed time to take a keener look at financial affairs.
Jamaica's largest Budget
His first full Budget was presented with much fanfare on April 10, 1963 as the Action Budget, boasting that it was Jamaica's largest Budget to date, and passing the 50-million pound barrier for the first time with an estimated gross expenditure of £55 million (J$110 million).
His Production Budget was in 1964, while on April 29, 1965, he came up with the Expansion Budget, where a consumption tax was introduced into the system. He was at pains to point out that the tax was on luxury items like cigarettes, motor cars and imported confectionery. Whiskey was shot with a 10 per cent increase, while the lowly Buccaneer cigarette, remaining at 9d per pack, got a reprieve.
Then came the Consolidation Budget on April 14, 1966 with 76 million pounds and no new taxes, but with the minister having to put up a stout defence of the recently introduced National Insurance Scheme programme which the Opposition had earlier labelled a form of new taxation. It was the final Budget before the 1967 elections and opposition member Max Carey launched a scathing attack on the estimates before rounding off his speech by wishing the Government "good night, good night, and farewell".
Sangster died while preparing the 1967 Budget and it was Edward Seaga who presented the estimates, continuing the tradition by naming it the Impact Budget, in turn, described by the Opposition as the Soak-the-Poor Budget.
The year 1968 saw Seaga's Expansion Budget with an estimated £102 million expenditure, and the introduction of the National Lottery. He came back with his Reform Budget in 1969.
The habit of naming the Budget faded in the 1970s, but each exercise has had a distinctive feature and personality which will make interesting reading in further columns.
All Budgets have been given their own peculiar nickname by the public, the media, and the Opposition, and it has never been what the Government would like it to be. It will be interesting to see what handle will be attached to this year's presentation.

MLB 14 The Show will release April 1 on PlayStation 3 and PS Vita and will arrive in May on PS4, Sony said today, ending an anxious stretch for baseball fans wondering if they would be playing a new version of the game on Opening Day.
Technically, they aren't—Monday, March 31 is baseball's traditional Opening Day this year (a showcase game will be played the preceding Sunday in Australia). Sony moved the launch date to coincide with Opening Day for promotional purposes. For the preceding eight years, MLB The Show released on the first Tuesday in March.
But the inclusion of a third product—the series' debut on PlayStation 4—plainly influenced the release calendar, as well as the lack of any competitor (the MLB 2K series will not return this year.) Sony did not yet give a more specific date than "May," for the PS4 edition, nor did it elaborate on why that title is trailing by a month or so.
A Sony representative, when asked by Kotaku, said MLB itself did not request the launch-day change.
It would appear that, if a PS4 edition was not going to be ready by Opening Day anyway, and there was no other series launching on consoles this year, that Sony San Diego elected to give itself a month's more time to work, rather than hustle out the PS3 and Vita version by early March. It should be noted that the Vita edition of The Show has to cooperate with both consoles, too, although Sony did not blame this for the delay. It stressed that the PS4 version would include all of the features available on the PS3 edition.
The last time The Show bridged console generations, its PS3 version launched in mid-May 2007 while the PS2 and PSP version launched on the last Tuesday in February.
Sony released several new screenshots (the one of Boston's fearsomely bearded Mike Napoli provides a stark comparison between PS3 and PS4 versions) and has many more details at the official PlayStation Blog.


Yellow Blog, Up High in Banana Tree: An early example of bioterrorism.
"In Arabic lands, the cutting of male trees was practiced when war was being raged between tribes. The opposition would sneak into their enemy's palm grove and destroy the male trees. As a result no fruit would be produced. Since dates were a stable item of the diet, starvation was induced. The reason for removing only the male tree was that only a few were needed for a large palm grove. It did not require as much time or effort to remove the male trees as it would have required to remove the more numerously planted females."
Wow, once again I learn something interesting from Kate. I didn't know that about spinach. I'll have to look closely this summer.
I also thought it was neat that female ginko trees are so offensive-smelling that most people only plant male trees.
I'm pretty sure that girl trees are illegal in some cities. It's legalized sexual discrimination against girl trees -- aiyee!


This is a guest blog by MIT Master Trainer Sjaak Bosman.
On April 29th MIT Master Trainer Sjaak Bosman has given a Show & Tell presentation and workshop to introduce MIT App Inventor to children at CoderDojo Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
The original Show & tell presentation can be found at http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/blogs/karen/2016/11/show.html. For this workshop it was slightly changed and translated into Dutch.
The intention of a Show & tell presentation and workshop session is showing the ease of use of App Inventor, and to tell about the endless possibilities to let your smartphone do what you want and most of all; to have fun while learning.
In 2016 Sjaak participated in the MIT Master Trainers Program In Educational Mobile Computing to become a certified professional in mobile computing education using the MIT App Inventor platform. Since then his motto is "Computer Science For All".
CoderDojo is a world-wide non-profit organisation that offers free coding lessons for youths of 17 and under. This open source movement started early 2011 in Cork, Ireland but it quickly spread around the world. With currently about 1500 Dojo's spread over 60 countries all around the world and over 70 locations in the Netherlands alone, you could say it is growing rapidly!
It was a thankful Saturday afternoon. Seeing so many kids having a great time enjoying themselves while discovering and exploring new possibilities: "Computer Science For All".


Is your sporty child complaining of pain in the heel? Is there swelling or redness in the heels? Discomfort when you squeeze both sides of the heel? He or she may be suffering from Sever's Disease, or calcaneal apophysitis. It is a heel bone disorder caused by inflammation of the growth plate, a condition commonly found in children ages 8-15 who play sports. Children in this age range are subject to this issue because they are still growing. The cartilage in this area becomes hard bone over time, but is susceptible to injury and inflammation until the bone is set.
Children who play sports with high impact to the feet are more prone to suffering from this disease. With many sports involving consistent practices, the problem can become worse due to overuse and repeated stress on the heel. Unfortunately, sport shoes with cleats are known to aggravate the condition, so soccer and football players are at higher risk. Furthermore, any issues with the Achilles tendon, such as tendonitis, can contribute to Sever's Diease by pulling excessively on the heel bone's growth plate. Other risk factors include: flat feet and overpronated feet; high arches; short leg syndrome; and overweight or obesity.
Rest and Icing the inflammation to reduce pain and swelling.
Compression stockings or elastic wrap to reduce pain and swelling.
Heel cups or orthotics to stabilize and support the heel. Arch supports can also help if children are flatfooted or overpronate.
Stretching and physical therapy of the tissues around the feet, ankles, and calf muscles.
Short-term use of a walking boot or cast if the issue is severe.
Is your child suffering from heel pain? It may be Sever's Disease, or it may be another issue. Make an appointment today to have our board-certified podiatrist, Dr. Brandon Macy assess your child's needs and help him or her back to feeling well. Clark Podiatry Center is located in Clark, NJ office in Union County and our team is ready to help! We keep you walking.
Heel pain in a child may be linked to a growth spurt. In other words: Growing pains may be real!
A child with heel pain or difficulty walking may have Severs Disease/Calcaneal Apophysitis. In this condition, the heel bone grows faster than the surrounding tendons and muscles during a growth spurt, and they are overstretched.
In addition, there are biomechanical factors which can trigger the condition. In feet which hyperpronate or flatten out too much or in children with tight achilles tendons, there can be a torque applied to the growth plate. The added stresses of sports activities or extra weight often result in an injury to the growth plate area.
Sever's disease can be found at different ages by gender because of the different ages of girls' and boys' growth spurts. For example, boys usually experience growth spurts at ages 10 to 15, so that's when the risk of Sever's disease is greatest. Girls, whose growth spurts are earlier between ages 8 and 13, may have Sever's disease at those earlier ages.
Provide them with supportive, well-fitting and well-cushioned shoes.
Encourage your child to stretch the hamstring, heel and calf gently and regularly.
Keep your child at a healthy weight to minimize heel pressure.
Limit running and jumping on surfaces that are inflexible and hard.
Watch your child to prevent over-training, especially if the heels are painful.
Watch for the signs of Sever's disease if your child participates in sports like basketball, soccer, football or gymnastics. Cleats are particularly hard and rigid and can aggravate the problem.
The good news? The risk of Sever's disease evaporates when the child is fully grown. Then the muscles and tendons will have grown to match the growth of the heel bone.
Icing the inflamed area several times a day.
Taking ibuprofen or naproxen to relieve pain and inflammation, with your doctor's approval.
Physical therapy and gentle stretching.
Adding heel cups or orthotics to reduce stress on the heel.
Wearing a cast or walking boot if these methods don't bring relief.
We will counsel you and your child on the best way to return to sports and other activities gradually.
Dr. Brandon Macy, board certified podiatrist has helped relieve the heel pain of many children and teens so they can return to normal activities. Please contact us for an appointment in our Clark office at 732-382-3470 or use the contact information at the website. Call us today to start your child down the path to recovery from Sever's disease.

It is time for retailers, both physical and online, in each market outside China to pick a payment platform that customers can trust, so that they can continue the lives they have in the phone into their consumption experience: transport, food, stuff - everything!!
In 2016, Chinese mobile-pay customers spent 70 times more than their U.S. counterparts — more than $8.5 trillion according to Boston Consulting Group. The rest of the First World spent decades moving from personal checks to credit cards to online banking and stored-value cards. China's 1.4 billion citizens leap-frogged from paper banknotes to touchscreens in less time than Apple went from iPhone 5 to iPhone 8.

"A House is Not a Home". They are all self-portraits and they question notions of femininity as well as the antiquated concept of "female hysteria", a diagnosis historically given to women who struggled to align themselves with social conventions. The images are set in suburban Ohio where I grew up. A House is Not a Home presents notions of femininity and picks apart the outworn diagnosis of hysteria (or womb madness).

Q: pl/pgsql vs prepared statements against sql injection attacks I have more experience with prepared statements and I know they are really good against SQL injection attacks.
I was wondering if the format/USING and quote_literal/quote_nullable of pl/pgsql, are equally efficient, given the fact that prepared statements have some vulnerabilities too (check here and here).
So, is pl/pgsql safety in the same level like prepared statements? Should I consider my self safe and covered with format/USING / quote_literal/quote_nullable or I have to do more, to be more safe?

A: EXECUTE with USING in PL/pgSQL is 100% safe from SQL injection.
The examples you quote are not relevant.
Quoting is only safe if you do it properly. This is why it is not as good as using parameters.
A statement with placeholders that uses USING is processed as a prepared statement, and the arguments given to USING become the arguments of the prepared statement. The text in the arguments is never parsed as part of the SQL statement, so SQL injection is impossible.

Over the past three years, CMOs have reported an increase in spend that is expected to continue into next year. According to the Gartner CMO Spend Survey from 2016-2017, there has been an upward trend in marketing budgets for three years in a row, rising from 11% to 12% of revenue in the last year alone.
In step with the increase in revenue, the role of the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) and subsequently, the marketing department has grown exponentially over the past decade, transforming from a "top-of-the-funnel" function to a strategic cross-business necessity. With these added budgets and responsibilities, CMOs are under increased pressure to perform better and more quickly to deliver results that move the needle forward.
One area where digital tools provide greater efficiencies for brands, (and agencies), is in the often draconian process of procuring and managing agencies. The traditional agency search can take weeks, if not months, while burdening in-house resources with extra responsibilities. Further, lengthy agency searches impact time-to-market which can stall campaign ROI. Once, the agency is retained, day-to-day management of activities and results can become onerous for brands with complex, multiple touch point campaigns. The good news is there are online tools that greatly reduce this burden.
There are two digital tools that facilitate agency selection and management: directories and eCommerce solutions.
Directories: Online directories provide expansive insight into the agency landscape. There are a few top directories, such as Agency Spotter and Clutch that allow brands to see how the agency functions, read reviews and determine high-level expertise. This enables you to shortlist and start the lengthy RFP process to find a proposal that fits your specific criteria. Directories can help cut down on some of the information gathering required to find the right agency, but still require time investment before you see your budget working towards results.
eCommerce Solutions: eCommerce solutions, popular in the freelancer space with sites like Upwork, are now available for the agency market. Within the eCommerce ecosystem, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) tools such as Oodi, offer a digital system for brands to procure, manage, and pay highly-vetted agencies all from one place. Conversely, agencies enjoy improved deal flow and swifter payment.
In addition to delivering efficiencies in the selection process, the SaaS system manages payment and milestone delivery throughout the project to ensure greater control of the campaign. In the fast-moving digital economy, time to market and tight project control are often the currency of the realm which allows marketers to swiftly adapt to market fluctuations.
Both directories and SaaS solutions provide time and cost savings at varying points through the process of procurement, but the SaaS model offers more comprehensive efficiencies with its soup-to-nuts approach. With this system, procurement, management, milestones, and payments are all managed from one single entity. The upside is a swifter and more controlled spend of resources throughout the life of the campaign.
Brands that have begun to source agencies and marketing services through SaaS environments are seeing increased efficiencies and cost reductions that power their marketing campaigns.
The average time to hire an agency can range from 3-12 weeks depending on the service. The more complex the service is, the more time it will take to compile vetted agencies, pricing, case studies, and more. Directories and SaaS solutions typically pull together these critical data points on each vendor or service across the marketing spectrum, thus, eliminating the time spent gathering this information.
While Directories typically do not offer clear service pricing, SaaS solutions do. This transparent and up-front pricing give CMOs the information they need to plan budgets and spend immediately. Further, with a clear scope of work on these sites brands are less likely to underestimate costs when they hire agencies through these tools.
Sourcing the right agency is only as good as the ability for the agency to deliver. The SaaS solution includes built-in project management features to enable brands and agencies to stay on schedule and budget while pursuing defined milestones. Brands can keep their marketing funds safe until their agency delivers, which also gives agencies a clear incentive to deliver what they promised within the agreed upon timeframe.
As with any project, things can go awry. While we hope they don't, it's important to remain protected in the case of a dispute. The SaaS solution offers free dispute resolution services to mitigate issues between brands and agencies when they arise. With legal fees being $500/hour or higher, the cost savings speaks for itself.
Both Directories and SaaS tools provide access to most, if not all of the necessary information to narrow down a shortlist of agencies for marketing services. Directories are great when you have an internal RFP process that you must follow. However, only SaaS tools provide clear insights into pricing and time estimates so brands can hire their agency with a few clicks. The more advanced SaaS systems also include "compare" functionality to allow brands to build a shortlist for further review. What could take an in-house marketer weeks to build, is done in minutes.
Further, the SaaS solution combines procurement efficiencies with campaign management and payment tools to allow for 360° experience designed to allow CMOs to get their funds working to achieve results faster. They also free the CMO from relying on his or her personal network to easily find new agencies with fresh ideas and insights.

Ice Cube Set to Produce Hollywood Squares Reboot
Rapper and actor Ice Cube is set to executive produce Hip Hop Squares, a spin-off of the original 1960s Hollywood Squares. The re-vamped Hip Hop Squares is set to premiere this fall on VH1. Each week's episode will consist of celebrity contestants being quizzed on their knowledge of hip hop and pop culture.
"Hip Hop Squares is going to be fun and spontaneous, unlike typical game shows, viewers should never know what's going to happen next,' Ice Cube said. "When VH1 asked us to join the producing team, we jumped aboard as we have had success with VH1, and we love their team, excitement, and commitment to the show."
Hollywood Squares usually includes two contestants in a game of tic-tac-toe competing to win cash and prizes.
Ice Cube and his production company, Cube Vision, are overseeing the production of Hip Hop Squares.

During their summer holidays, our guests will experience the country life in Fulpmes first hand. The playground in the garden ensures that your kids can unwind. On a farm tour, your children can feed the chickens and then collect the eggs across the farm. Later we will explore our stables where we will explain our daily work. Should the weather not play along, there are table tennis and foosball as well as Darts and many other games available in the playing room.
Our calves spend the summer months at Galtalm. Together with our guests, we will visit our animals there. At the Alm, the landlord will welcome us with fresh spring water and bread with self-made butter. After the Alm presentation, there are all kinds of Tyrolean delicacies on offer and sufficient time to unwind at the alpine pastures or to simply enjoy the sun. The sociable barbeque nights each Thursday are great fun for young and older guests.
The free ski bus stops just a few metres away from our farm, thus ensuring that our guests can easily access the slopes of the Schlick 2000 skiing resort. Snowshoe hikes, cross-country skiing, or ski routes supplement the varied winter sports offer in the Stubaital.


Well...that makes Google's "never throw any email away" functionality kinda dumb now.
What good is 4 gigabytes of email space if anything older than 180 days is easily open to the government.
What it comes right down to in private communication, or sensitive business information--do not rely on 'the cloud'. If you want privacy, encrypt with a known secure technology before sending.
Some people still have consciences, even if it becomes harder and harder to exercise them.


I knew it was coming...but in the first week of September??
"Free Shipping on Holiday Sneak Peak" from Smith and Hawken.
There are no menorahs, or kwanzaa kitch. Only what normal people would identify as traditional Christmas decorations. Clearly though we're not supposed to identify them. They're "holiday" decorations, not Christmas, duh!
At least they have the decency to sell prelit "Christmas" trees, unlike purveyors of "holiday" trees elsewhere.
Email them here, or, if you're needing some more one-on-one catharsis, call them at 1-800-940-1170.
