The curious case of how Vivo Pro Kabaddi became a marketing marvel
Shubhranshu Singh, Executive Vice President and Head-Marketing-Sports, Star India, shared what went into the designing the marketing strategy including #LePanga campaign while changing the perception of the sport
In a market where perception was more important than reality, Shubhranshu Singh, Executive Vice President and Head-Marketing-Sports, Star India, shared what went into designing the marketing strategy and positioning the sport while overcoming the barriers at Vivo Pro Kabaddi League: Media Forum.
He spoke how the sport has not been celebrated in urban pockets or it has been covered by media despite India's participation in the Asian Games. "The perception was desi. It was less celebrated. We set the barrier as relevance," he said.
Singh was confident about the product, courtesy 15-20 minutes of intense viewing of the games played at the Asian Games. "We knew we had a great product, which we are going to repackage and make it even greater. For those who think it's uncool we had to present it as cool. For those who are unaware we have to educate them about the sport, take kabaddi to where they are and make them curious."
However the big debate was who to pitch it to: the urban youth or heartland territory. Singh revealed, "Our conclusion was that we must bridge the gap. We must present it in a spectacular and intriguing manner, a manner which invites greater assessment without being shy that it's Indian. This was the summary or beginning point or guide for the journey hereafter."
While designing the marketing strategy for Pro Kabaddi League, he realised that people have a basic understanding of the game but much more needed to be done to explain game.
Singh went on to mention how the property after being premiered for the first time garnered exceptional ratings after the end of season 1 of 37 days. "It's already proven itself as the number 2 sport on TV. Across the world I can't think of a sport which when arrives on TV takes on other sports that have been present (on TV) for decades and in one season of 30-35 days becomes the number 2 sport. After that we had three seasons in a space of 12 months out of which two were head-on-head with cricket."
Singh also talked about getting the whole world to play the World Cup in Gandhinagar last year. He shared some statistics saying, "Kabaddi World Cup helped in elevating the stature. 11 crore saw the tournament out of 78 crores TV universe."
He also laid emphasis on the blue uniform, which generally 'India roots for.' "Both on digital and across the country we were able to establish that in kabaddi we have another team that's a consistent world beater that Indians can rally behind."
The effort Singh and his team put in was definitely rewarded as the Indian media 'lavished' their property with lot of love and attention. "The whole editorial world was also responding," he said.
Association with Bollywood stars Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Abhishek Bachchan and Amitabh Bachchan, endorsements and barter deals also worked wonders for the property. He shared, "Not very often in India you get to see Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan at the same sport."
For crafting the campaign for season 2 Singh realised the need to bring product and advertisement positioning together. "We felt the need to be a bigger platform."
He also talked about how they came up with the coin phrase 'Le Panga' (for #LePanga campaign) which has worked for them across markets last three seasons. "We must try to create a platform thought which is youthful and cues courage and action," said Singh.
He also talked about how Amitabh Bachchan's video for Pro Kabaddi League turned out to be the most cut through creative for the second season. "It helped us beef up Hindi-speaking market. The same season we saw Salman Khan endorsing 'panga' in his movie, which worked wonders for us."
Later on they moved on to showcasing the sportsmen 'individually as unit creatives' in their campaigns. Singh adds, "Basically we were positioning it in two ends. This is a sport where great action, courage, daring majestic feats are encountered everyday and these are real sporting heroes."
He also talked about another successful campaign which mocked other popular genres like serials, news and action movies where male audience tune into when they are not watching kabaddi. "This worked because we were contrasting what we were doing for kabaddi with what's happening elsewhere. We were bold enough to lampoon (in a manner of speaking) of what's happening across TV."
Singh also talked about roping in regional stars like Telugu actor Rana Daggubati and Punjabi actor Diljit Dosanjh as regional ambassadors to cater to relevant markets. "Each market was addressed with potent relevant message."
When it comes to demographics, Singh also spoke about the necessity of introducing the sport to kids since 40 crore of the population are born after the year 2000, which will bring them rich dividends. So kabaddi was explained in one of the popular shows Chhota Bheem. "54 per cent of viewership of kabaddi is coming from people who are less than 30 and it has amongst the highest catchment of women and children. To put things in perspective, the number of young kids who would watch kabaddi is 12 times than who would watch WWE."

He also went on to speak on the success of Women's Kabaddi Challenge. "Only eight matches delivered 9 crore reach. Only two women's kabaddi matches got more viewers than all of Euro 2016. It shows the attention that the sport got," he said.

My first week back on plan went relatively well. There were two snags, but I still ended up dropping six pounds this week. Better yet, my two choices to eat off plan (potatoes both times) didn't result in my giving up and throwing in the towel, so there's something positive to be said for that.
In general, last week went the way I had expected it to go. At first, I struggled with obsessions of foods that wouldn't further my goals, and then the cravings for salt started. By Friday, I was feeling pretty settled about my eating choices, but we had to run an errand that involved getting food on the road. I opted out of fast food when my husband and father-in-law ate because I'd had a late lunch and didn't like the choices at that particular restaurant. By the time we got to Chili's to pick up my daughter from work though, I was really hungry. Fred ordered dessert since he'd had his supper, and I ordered a bacon burger without the bun and a side salad. I didn't skip the fries though, and I justified it to myself by saying, "At least I wasn't eating grain or dessert,", but it was really just an excuse. I wanted to eat off plan, so I did. I think I could have planned better, but the choice to eat fries was totally mine and I owned it.
Then on Saturday night, I was planning to go home and fix a ribeye for myself. Fred snagged a shepherd's pie from Aldi though, and by the time I was hungry, it was starting to call my name. I should have fixed the steak and called it good, but the rest of Fred's food was sitting on the counter calling to me, so I decided to eat that instead of the steak. Again, it was "just potatoes", but potatoes aren't a part of my food plan, and I'm really susceptible to the slippery slope of bad food choices.
Overall though, I'm happy with the way that my first week wrapped up. I still have a lot of good habits to re-establish, but I'm confident that I have this in hand.

33 Days: "Where flowers bloom, so does hope."
Evee is such a good girl. She's the dog that I always let children pet, the dog that will happily lay next to an elderly person for hours, the dog that knows no strangers in life. It's because of this, her goodness, that I've dreamed of starting my own animal-based therapy practice. Research has shown that pets bring about all sorts of health benefits, from improving our mood and reducing our stress to controlling our blood pressure better than medications can. Dogs are almost magical healers – I've witnessed typically nonsocial children verbalize and patients with memory disorders put some pieces of the puzzle back together, all after petting a dog. I took this picture of Evee today while she was sunning herself out in the front yard. The daffodils were blooming, the birds were singing, the sun was shining – what a beautiful day! As I look at this picture and reflect on Evee's therapy dog experiences, I recognize something that she has given every person that she has met – hope. Hope for a better today, a better tomorrow, a better future. Evee reminds me to follow my dreams, soak in the sun, stop to smell the flowers, and above all, never let go of hope.

Love the quote! Where flowers bloom so does hope 🙂 What a senior sweetie. Here's to a long and healthy life for your Evee.
The dog is very cute. I also want to raise one 🙂
Dogs are so loving and giving. They are truly a shining example of hope!

Benefits of Investing in Commercial Real Estate
Real estate is one of the most popular areas of investment for entrepreneurs. In most cases, people aim to make a return on their investments by flipping homes. Essentially, they buy a house, make a few improvements, and put it back on the market at a higher price. While this can definitely help you make good money, there is a lot of competition in house flipping.
Real estate is one of the most popular areas of investment for entrepreneurs. In most cases, people aim to make a return on their investments by flipping homes. Essentially, they buy a house, make a few improvements, and put it back on the market at a higher price. While this can definitely help you make good money, there is a lot of competition in house flipping.
Thankfully, there are other ways to make money from buying property. For instance, you can invest in commercial real estate. Keep in mind that it offers a bigger financial reward than residential properties. Commercial property typically refers to warehouses, industrial buildings, offices, and retail buildings. It can also be a mixed use building – a property that contains offices, a warehouse, and retail spaces. If you're looking for ways to invest your money, here are some of the main reasons why you should consider commercial real estate.
Easier Management
It's easier to manage commercial real estate compared to residential properties. When you're a landlord in a residential property, you'll sometimes have to deal with bad tenants. If you have several different properties in various locations, it can be a real hassle to manage everything.
If you invest in commercial real estate, your best bet is to get several units in the same location. This way, it will be easier for you to manage the property. Keep in mind that business owners are much easier to deal with than regular tenants. On top of that, you'll have to pay less for maintenance, since contractors will most likely offer a discount for working on several properties at once.
Limited Hours of Operation
Tenants may call you with a problem during any part of the day or night. This can cause a lot of stress and make you regret investing in residential properties. Thankfully, businesses usually work only during the day. This means that you'll be able to rest at night without having to deal with tenants who may have lost a key or have a different emergency.
On top of that, commercial properties are equipped with quality security systems that will notify the local authorities in the event of a break-in or fire. This is something that you can't count on when it comes to residential real estate. Instead, you'll be required to call the authorities and let them know what the issue is.

Reduced Risk
Whenever you make an investment, no matter what it is, there will always be some risk attached to it. To minimize the chance of losing your money, you should aim to exclusively make low-risk investments. When you invest your funds in commercial real estate, you'll receive tangible assets. With that in mind, there are a lot of differences between buying company shares and investing in commercial properties. While a company may suddenly fail, it's very unlikely that the value of your property will plummet in the near future.
High Appreciation
Entrepreneurs always aim to make investments that will provide them with the highest returns, and this is exactly why many are putting their money into commercial real estate. This market has one of the highest appreciation trends for investors. Appreciation refers to an asset's increase in value over time.
As a commercial property owner, there are a few different ways to increase the value of your asset. Simply by modernizing the property, you can raise rent for business owners. Hire contractors to determine what type of renovations you can make at a low cost. The key here is to invest as little as possible to boost the value of your property.
Tax Benefits
There are certain tax benefits to investing in real estate. To fully understand these benefits, you should consult your accountant or tax advisor. All you need to know for now is that depreciation and mortgage interest deduction can shield most of your income stream. When you invest in real estate, the asset you acquire may grow in market value to you. However, the physical worth of the property will depreciate over time.
Final Thoughts
There is no doubt that investing in residential real estate is very popular, but it might not be the right decision for you. If you're a beginner when it comes to real estate investments, you should focus on commercial properties. Before you buy anything, make sure you understand how you'll be able to get a return on your investment. It's also important that you get familiar with all of your duties as a commercial real estate owner.
Why Google AdWords Isn't Working For You (Or Vice Versa)
Many organizations find difficulties in gaining ROI through Google Adwords due to their misunderstanding of the tool. This article is specified to startups, even though larger organizations face this issue as well. Many are aware of the solutions such as providing relevant content and offering transparency, making your site easy to navigate, and smartly selecting your campaign type. However, there are dilemmas when it comes to what makes those solutions ineffective for specific targets, which the startups often don't account. This is largely because of how startups use commonly recognized strategies that may not work for them.
Often, startups perceive Google AdWords as a magic tool that brings customers to their table without moving a finger. Conversely, it gives a huge scope for a lot of smart work and competition. It is often perceived as a single whole tool for value proposition and ROI goals whereas it's the other way round. In this article, we will understand why startups don't achieve their ROI goals through Google AdWords.
Prioritizing Google AdWords Before Market Research
Startups use Google AdWord as an experimental tool to understand their market and form unrealistic ROI goals. In this case, experimenting your market and setting unrealistic ROI goals are inversely related, which merely makes you a "venture capitalist in disguise" for AdWords. You probably now have abundant knowledge about your product and you can make hypothetical guesses about who your customers. But at the cost of bidding $125 a day for advertisements? This is where your ROI goals are gone for a toss. Google AdWord is not Google Trends to tell you about your market scope.
Thus, it is important to do your market research before your get your hands on Google AdWords. This would sound stereotype enough, but why would you post ads without understanding who your customers are and invest on a bunch of hypothetical scenarios that wouldn't favor your ROI goals? Prioritizing market research would help you choose the right keywords, convert clicks to customers more qualitatively, and choose bids for each ad group smartly. This makes you choose your ROI goals that are more favorable and exploit your existing market with larger ROI.
Many would suggest that making a hypothesis on your customers' preferences and experimenting on Google AdWords is often a great idea. We would probably understand what wouldn't work in terms of our market using this method. However, when you do this, you shouldn't expect much ROI as this would be a part of your market research and not implementation. This would be a plausible idea if you don't take this as a part of your business. Just make sure you're okay to invest tons on just market research.
Choosing Standard Option Hoping For More Visibility
There's a myth that startups are safer when they choose the standard option for an immediate visibility. However, this would be a good option if you're going to choose AdWords as your market research tool, but cannot be entertained for market implementation. This is where startups fail as they listen to common strategies that are often not theirs'. Since this is entirely dependent on your ROI goals, you need to choose your options wisely.
If you want a qualitative click-to-customer conversion and ROI, you need to choose specific features for your advertisements, which is choosing the other feature below. This would give you insights regarding which particular geographical location you want to target. Since the standard option would post ads everywhere regardless of the location, there are chances that many might not buy your products once they visit your site. This decreases your ROI. Thus, market segmentation in terms of geographical area is more beneficial for qualitative ROI and click-to-customer conversion. Focusing on your vicinity at the beginning is important because they provide more scope to conversions, which would increase your ROI.
Initially, target customers within your vicinity, and then expand your visibility. If we start off with immediately expanding our visibility, then we know what would happen. Focus on all what is there in your vicinity in regards to product preference. This would enable us to smartly choose specific ad groups and keywords for a time period and bid smartly for each ad group. In this way, you save a lot of money and give a huge scope to more conversions.
Keywords? Ha, I Have Google Trends!
Congratulations if you chose Google Trends to choose your keywords; you are indeed smart.. not enough. The process of choosing the right keyword might sound like a joke, but they're the ones that decide whether all your clicks are getting converted into customers. Startups unknowingly fantasize just SEO and perceive keywords as just a feature that's a part of it. This makes startups use Google Trends for choosing keywords that are highly searched, believing that it makes their process easier. However, it's the SEO that's one part of the keywords you choose, and it's important to choose the ones that attract the right customer!
Google Trends often show a lot of scope for short trail words like shoes, bags, memes, curtains, and etc., which aren't the right words when it comes to attracting the right customers. We get fooled by how these words have the highest search number and choose them to expand our visibility. For example, let's say you sell flowers that can be kept at home. Let's see what Google Trends tell us about the search term 'flower'.
Google Trends definitely gives a higher score for this search term. However, when a person googles 'flower', they do not necessarily want to 'buy' flowers. A kid probably just searched that term up for a school project and would probably visit your site to know about different flowers.. but certainly not to buy them. Henceforth, you lost a click worth one customer. It is important to specify your keywords crisply that every click converts into a potential customer. If you're selling home flowers, then your potential keywords would be the following:
- Basil Flowers For Home
- Geraniums For Home
- Ivy For Home
- Rosemary For Home
- Mood Boosting Flowers For Home
- Home Decoration Flowers
- Additional Flowers For Christmas Tree
- And Alike!
In order to attract the right customers, the customers who badly need your product, you need to make your keywords as specific as possible. The specific keywords are essentially motivated by your short-term goals. For example, if it's Christmas season, then you would potentially choose the following keywords:
- Additional Flowers For Christmas Tree
- Buy Christmas Cactus Online
- Cyclamen For Christmas Decoration
- And Alike!
Let's insert "Additional Flowers For Christmas Tree" on Google Trends. Oops! No results are shown!
This is how Google Trends can fool you by saying that people would not prefer additional flowers for their Christmas tree even during Christmas! However, Google Trends scale their analytics on a billion people level, whereas we are seeking for a few hundreds or thousands of customers. Thus, using Google Trends for choosing your keywords is the worst idea you can ever think of! You need to choose specific keywords that are only motivated by your market research and specifically, market segmentation. Choosing the right short-term goals and vicinity from your market segmentation can highly help you convert clicks into customers much more qualitatively!
AdWords Is The Only Problem Here – I Am 100% Sure!
How sure are you that AdWords is the only reason why your ROI goals aren't met? Are you satisfied with how your site is organized? Are customers finding exactly what they want in 3 seconds after they visit your site? If it's a no to all, then AdWords isn't the problem here – it's how your website isn't getting your customers to what they want! In this case, please make sure that the top of your web page equally has portrayed your short-terms goals, which is essentially why the customers came to your website through keywords.
For example, if it's Christmas season and you're selling flowers for Christmas decoration, make sure that you place your redirection link to Christmas flowers right at the top center of your page. When I say short-term goals, they're short! – they last only for a week or a month! Accordingly, you keep changing your keywords relative to your short-term goals.
Another problem would be the absence of retargeting. Retargeting ads through your website is equally important. Now that we have converted sufficient clicks into customers, we also need to get the attention of customers who did not buy our products. This would give a plausible scope to potential customers.
The most important part of the entire process is market research, which is often ignored either as time-consuming or an amateur process. However, your choice of keywords, ad groups, campaigns, and vicinity is only motivated by your market research which essentially results in greater ROI and qualitative click-to-customer conversions. Besides, your short-term goals initially should account for your vicinity's preference, from which you can slowly expand your geographical radius after your initial ROI goals are met.
Your keywords should be specific and related to your short-term goal. Thus, you need to keep updating your keywords relative to your varying short-term goals to entirely benefit from Google Adwords. That's how your ROI goals can be met and more conversions can occur.
Is Cultural Appropriation a Part of Fashion?
What comes to your mind when you hear the term "Navajo?" Do you shop at Urban Outfitters, and why? Are you interested in law and court cases? What does appropriation mean, especially when linked to fashion? Is it good or bad? These are all challenging questions that can be answered extensively. These are not simple yes or no questions, and neither is it easy to define appropriation, but I feel it is a term that people find applicable and connote negatively. It is, in essence, a negative word, to me, especially when we talk about cultural appropriation, but it does not necessarily mean what you may think it to mean when considered in the context of fashion.
Urban Outfitters has actually recently won its case against the Navajo Nation, which initially was filed by them in 2012. The question leads to how they brand their items, whether they are essential clothing items or then utility items. Judge Bruce Black ruled the case, approving the retailer and place for beatnik shoppers, the ability to brand their items by the name of "Navajo." Urban Outfitters actually even claimed, as a defense, that they brand their items to describe the style or print of the item. So as not to contravene issues of political correctness and colonialist histories, this label is supposed to be used as descriptive and to have ascertained and branded styles and prints. It should not evoke the irrevocably and indescribably depressing and devastating histories of cultural appropriation and colonial thinking inflicted on the tribes of Native Americans.
When the use of a word can be interpreted as offensive, it can be problematic, but when given a voice for them to justify their usage of the word, it can be clarified. Should this be called cultural appropriation and should we stand against branding in this form? In popular culture, ample icons and stars have exhibited the clothing that is described as "tribal." Every class on colonialism that, personally, I have taken, has shed cultural appropriation in a negative light, and why not? It is negative, no doubt. The question, though, is, is this considerably a form of colonialism, neocolonialism, and cultural approbation?
Puerto Rico to Default on More than $420 Million Debt
Governor Alejandro García Padilla of Puerto Rico said Sunday that the island territory will not be making a payment of more than $420 million of its debts. It is not the first such payment Puerto Rico has defaulted on, but it is the largest. The territory will likely default on additional payments owed on July 1st unless Congress intervenes.
Despite the fact its economy has been slouching for the last 10 years, investors have been drawn to Puerto Rico since its status as a territory means that its bonds are exempt from income tax applicable to residents of the 50 states. The debt moratorium ordered by the governor has ruffled creditors and may cause a string of lawsuits.
"This was a painful decision," the governor said on Sunday.
"We would have preferred to have had a legal framework to restructure our debts in an orderly manner, but faced with the inability to meet the demands of our creditors and the needs of our people, I had to make a choice. I decided that essential services for the 3.5 million American citizens in Puerto Rico came first."
Governor Padilla said paying the debt would have entailed cutting service for the island's residents, including keeping schools and public hospitals open.
"We will continue working to try to reach a consensual solution with our creditors," he said. "That is one of our commitments. But what we will never do is put the lives and safety of our people in danger."
Congress is still uncertain of how to deal with the economic situation in Puerto Rico. Given that the island is a territory of the USA rather than a state, it is not currently eligible for restructuring through municipal bankruptcy. Negations are being held in the House of Representatives to create a new law that would give Puerto Rico legal powers to abrogate debt, but the progress is slow.
"Puerto Rico needs Speaker Paul Ryan to exercise his leadership and honor his word," Padilla said. "We can't wait longer. We need this restructuring mechanism now."

The Witcher 3... memorable for everything OTHER than the story.
Getting the main story of a game right is incredibly difficult. Being able to correctly pace reveals and narrative highs, weaving in gameplay and remaining interesting throughout is a delicate balancing act - one that a lot of games slip up on. You often get belaboured portions of wasted time, or parts that speed by with monotonous questing.
All of which is why you see more and more people touting different side-quests as being the best parts of games, especially open-world titles. Many side-quests are small, self-contained stories that allow the creative minds behind the game an opportunity to throw aside the shackles of the main story and do some really interesting stuff.
There is no pressure for a grandiose story or climax, so you have these tight-knit experiences that sometimes feel more memorable than the main game.
It is a constant trend throughout games that side-quests often have that degree of polish. And with the current zeitgeist being bigger and bigger games, the next few years are undoubtedly going to spew out many more titles where the smaller, less bombastic quests are actually the most enjoyable part.
I like video games, writing and writing about video games. Expect sarcasm and the dry wit of a Brit. And the occasional rant of a unhappy Scot. You know... the usual.

A new parking model will be introduced in Tbilisi in 2019. The new model has been developed as part of the municipal transport policy, Tbilisi mayor Kakha Kaladze said.
"A new parking model will be introduced in 2019. The new model calls for arranging a zonal parking. We have already prepared a due bill and the document will be submitted to the Parliament. I would like to urge the legislative body to back our plan, because it is very important to implement this project", Kakha Kaladze noted.
Tbilisi Mayor also urged municipal offices to provide legal reaction to economic activities within municipal parking zones.
"There are a lot of cases when transport or other movable means are placed within municipal parking zones, especially in economic active zones and tourism zones. Frequently, trailed vehicles are parked there, sometimes, for issuing visas and providing tourism services. This is ordinary economic activity. Parking zones exist so as citizens use them and park they vehicles. Under the legislation, economic activity is restricted in parking zones. Therefore, you are to make due reaction so as our citizens could use municipal parking services and these location must not be applied for economic activities", Kakha Kaladze noted.

Personalised Wooden Picnic Crate Review
Reviewed by Katie Clifton-Hadley
Our personalised picnic crate arrived just in time for our family holiday to Devon, which was such a perfect time to try it out. It came in two packages, the lid (is an optional extra) and the crate separately all packaged up carefully so that it didn't get damaged in transition.
It comes in a range of colours and you can choose your own personalisation using two lines of 24 characters, this was perfect even for our long surname. We chose Coastal mist which is a lovely light blue colour. We had The Clifton-Hadley's tasty snacks' printed on to the side and it looks fantastic. I have to be honest I did feel quite smug carrying it around, as when using the picnic crate on our holiday in Devon we were stopped by so many people asking where we got it from. It was nice to get lots of fabulous comments, as it is so different from the usual picnic basket that we carry around.
When I first saw the crate I was really pleased as it looks great and is so much more spacious than I thought it was ever going to be. We managed to fit so much food inside. We even managed to fit our beverages inside, which I was not expecting.
The crate is so easy to carry with its built in carrying handles. Walking down the beach just seemed so much easier carrying the one crate rather than taking lots of bags. It's just so simple! Well done NOT ON THE HIGH STREET!
The best thing about the picnic crate is that it also doubles up as a seat, perfect for when the grass is a bit damp or you can't quite get down to sit on the floor. I even used it with the lid on for a little table to put drinks on so that they didn't get knocked over on the floor. I was really impressed with the variety of functions that the crate had and cannot wait to use it again.
If you are sick of taking numerous carrier bags on a picnic for them to break and to be left carrying your food and want to be the envy of your friends on a picnic, then this is definitely the product for you.
The lid is sold as an optional extra and you can also add wheels and a hessian liner should you require.
I would 100% give this product 5 stars.
Rating: 5/5
RRP: £39 (Lid +£8, Wheels +£10, Hessian Liner +£10)

A Wave Is a Comin'
The last two weeks have seen some significant movement in Democrats favor. First, there were the impressive results from last Tuesday's elections. This week, we've seen two polls — one by Quinnipiac and one by Marist — that show Democrats with a congressional ballot advantage of +13 to +15. Three other recent polls — ABC/Washington Post, Fox, and NBC/Wall Street Journal — show Democrats with an advantage of anywhere from +7 to +15.
These are political wave numbers.
Quinnipiac and Marist Generic Ballot Polling
But, is it realistic to think that Democrats could retain this kind of advantage into 2018? Moreover, given the Republican structural advantage — gerrymandered seats plus Democrats' self-sorting into urban areas — is that kind of margin even big enough to net 24 seats?
My colleague David Wasserman has been digging into the question of just how big of a wave Democrats need to get in order to surf into the majority. The short answer: they need to see a generic ballot advantage of +8 or more, which roughly translates to getting at least 54 percent or more of the national House vote in 2018.
Counties Hold Clues…
Places like Virginia Beach could give early read on possible Democratic wave
In particular, Democrats are looking to the hefty margins their candidate won in the populous suburbs around Washington, D.C., such as Fairfax County, which gave Democrat Ralph Northam more than two-thirds of its votes. Party officials hope the numbers forecast a wave in 2018 that could swamp Republican lawmakers…
Resistance Royalty: Pelosi, Soros Headline Left's Biggest Dark Money Conference
Private memo gives inside look at Democracy Alliance's latest secret donor meeting
CARLSBAD, Calif.—A secretive three-day conference where big money liberal donors are plotting the next steps of the "resistance" will be headlined by Friday speeches by billionaire George Soros and Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, according to internal documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
The Democracy Alliance, a donor club of deep-pocketed liberal donors that each pledge to direct hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding to approved left-wing groups, descended on California's posh La Costa Resort on Wednesday morning for its fall donor summit. The group continued its tradition of secrecy, promising all members and guests of the summit their participation would "remain confidential."
The first page of the conference agenda, which was obtained by the Washington Free Beacon and can be viewed in its entirety below, lays out "participation guidelines," explaining that the Democracy Alliance is a "safe place" for donors and activists to meet. Guests are instructed not to share members' names with the press and not to post to any social media sites, to contact Democracy Alliance if "the media or a blogger" contacts them, and to "refrain from leaving sensitive materials out where others may find them."
This latter directive was ignored.
The agenda for the meeting, titled "Beyond #Resistance: Reclaiming our Progressive Future," lays out three full days of events culminating in a Friday night dinner headlined by Pelosi.
Democracy Alliance Fall Investment Conference Agenda by Washington Free Beacon on Scribd
A few hours earlier guests can attend "A Talk with George Soros," who will be introduced with a "special videotaped message" by Democratic senator Kamala Harris (Calif.).
All of the events are scheduled to take place at the La Costa Resort, which features 17 tennis courtsof both clay and hard surfaces including one with 1,000 seats for spectators, 36 holes of golf on the Legends Course and the Champions Course, an array of pools including three hot tubs that overlooksaid golf courses, a spa building, and the Deepak Chopra Center, where guests can do yoga or receive mind-body medical consultations.
Hey, Republicans! Did you enjoy Election Night last week? Get ready for a lot more nights like that as immigration turns every last corner of the country blue.
When Ed Gillespie lost in Virginia, liberals crowed about how they're winning the war of ideas. The country has thoroughly, emphatically rejected Trumpism!
Republicans, being idiots, played along, arguing only about whether Gillespie's problem was that he didn't embrace Trump enough or embraced him too much.
Gillespie's campaign was fine. No cleverer arguments, community outreach or perfectly timed mailings would have changed the result. Contrary to The New York Times' celebratory article in last Sunday's magazine, "How the 'Resistance' Helped Democrats Dominate Virginia," it wasn't Democratic operative Kathryn Sorenson's savvy use of Facebook, Google and Eventbrites that carried the day. "The Resistance" didn't win.
What happened was: Democrats brought in new voters. In 1970, only one out of every 100 Virginians was foreign-born. By 2012, one in nine Virginians was foreign-born.
The foreign-born vote overwhelmingly, by about 80 percent, for Democrats. They always have and they always will — especially now that our immigration policies aggressively discriminate in favor of the poorest, least-educated, most unskilled people on Earth. They arrive in need of a LOT of government services.
According to the Pew Research Center, 75 percent of Hispanic immigrants and 55 percent of Asian immigrants support bigger government, compared to just over 40 percent of the general public. Even third-generation Hispanics support bigger government by 58 percent.
Polls show that immigrants are far more likely to support Obamacare and affirmative action than the general public, and are far less likely to support gun rights and capitalism.

I'm very excited to introduce Artful Intentions {Growth} – an art journaling collaboration with my friend and fellow designer, Cilenia Curtis. What does "Artful Intentions" mean? Well, it's our term for visual journaling with a plan – even if the plan is just a vague concept. Of course, Cilenia and I both love to create art for art's sake and just for fun. But we also both use visual journaling (or "art journaling") as a way to express our emotions, deal with personal issues, and even to document life events.
A quick personal story for you. I do mixed media art journaling as well as my digital work. One day I decided to prep some backgrounds in a new journal. I gessoed and textured a few of the pages and then set to work. On one page I decided to just drip some blue paint – flicking my wet paint brush all around the facing pages. At first I was gentle. Then a little less gentle. And then a little more aggressive – and then even more so. Honestly, I'm not exactly sure what happened, but before I knew it I was flicking that paintbrush like I was trying to put out a fire! Then all of a sudden, I was done. I remember that I let out an audible sigh as I put paintbrush down. As I left my studio, I felt really good, as if a burden had been lifted from my shoulders. I truly have no idea what made me behave like that for those few minutes, but I suspect there was something unresolved in my subconscious that worked itself out via the paintbrush. Does that happen every time I art journal? No. Will that happen to you? Maybe. But the point is it amazing what happens when you just "do" without worrying about rules or what someone else will think. And you don't have to do physical journal pages to get the benefits journaling provides – its the act of focussing your intention that makes the difference.
Sharing my journal pages is not something I'm generally comfortable with, but I used this project as an excuse to put myself out there a bit more. Like many, I constantly struggle with balance – making sure there is enough time just for me. One of the ways I work through that is to journal about the things I want to do – just journaling a list helps to focus and re-enforce my intent. It helps in my personal growth. If you look carefully you can see me hiding on this page!
I know many of you would like to try this style of journaling but don't know where to start. And there are others that are intimated by just the thought of visual journaling. So to tempt you to try it, Cilenia and I have created not only a humungous kit, but a seven-page workbook filled with prompts, inspiration and ideas for how to get started. If you're already a visual journaler, the workbook is just what you need to get your journaling mojo on! We've also got four great "Artful Scrapper" templates for you. The images below are linked to my shop – go have a look! And as an added incentive, here's a coupon code for you – good for 10% off your purchase! And that's not all! I'm hosting a challenge in Forums and all participants will be entered into a random drawing for a $5.00 coupon to my shop! I hope you'll join in the fun!
You can follow my art journaling exploration on my blog and if you'd like exclusive freebies and coupons, subscribe to my newsletter.
Use code: VR-GROWTH
Expires: June 30, 2014
We hope you'll enjoy this kit and would love to see what you come up with!

I was first introduced to your work as a monthly subscriber to The Digi Files. You released Its About Time and it is absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for the coupon code.

I was supposed to be successful by now
I thought I wouldn't weigh as much as I do
I thought I'd have friends and a meaningful relationship
Somehow this all worked differently…
I should have thrown away all the junk in the house
Going to sleep should be less difficult
I would have gone on a vacation by now
You should have seen how these things played out…
…in my mind.
Gonna wait.
One day.

ps. Music Video is great! Mad props on having the patience to do pixelation animation, that is a looooong process. Worth it for that end result tho!
Those lyrics are definitely relatable. I like the kind of indie rock vibe of it too. Oh yeah, I can't remember if I commented on the music video yet but I watched it a couple weeks ago and it is very impressive. Nice job on that, too for sure.
Sounds great legend... would loves me an OP-1... lucky Mr Orange man!
This it's definitely relate able really powerful and catchy track hopefully I pick up a shirt tomorrow after I get paid
This is one seriously catchy tune!!!
Great lyrics, great harmonies, great everything! Voice sounds very good too!
Why aren't you on the charts? This is excellent.
Really like the combination of the indie guitar and the OP-1 beat. Well done.
Great vocals, perfect for this type of track!
I had missed the video, great work on that. Love the stop motion.
Excellent song! Great lyrics and IMO very nice late 90s vibes going on here I really liked the music video too!
Layers on layers on layers. This sounds phenomenal. Great job!
Great job! i love those drums in the interlude where they are thinner and sound really like synth drums. And that rattle is excellent!
Nice one! Love the lyrics, very relateable indeed. Very catchy track. Good production - the OP-1 sounds are nice balance to the guitar, makes for some good Orange Drink rock. This one could flow with the one you did the video for, a sound people will like I think.
this is really frickin good, man.
Great catchy beat! Love that rapid click/trill percussive sound. Contrasts well with the very fluid guitar sounds. Downloading.
This is amazing. The whole thing comes together so well.
Life is hard.
Excellent mix of the acoustic & electronic elements. The chorus is super catchy and had me humming along. Suhweet filter sweep that re-energizes the track and outro even more. Nice job!
this is extremely cool, the chanting and the relentless beat gives this a nice kraut/Neu/Michael Rother vibe. Mixed with certain type of pop sensibility... in a good way Very impressive.
whoa super cool stuff!! this is the first rock-ish music i've come across on weeklybeats. love it so much! my roommate was listening along (not knowing this was weekly beats) and was really excited and wanted to know what this was. we're both super into it
what a difference a day makes eh?
listening to this again and still loving it
vocal fx dialed in perfectly - you've really been getting great sounds out of the baritone in all the recordings

The Bloc Party frontman is heading out on tour in 2020 to support his latest solo record, 2042
Skiddle Staff
Last updated: 8th Nov 2019
A legend of the noughties UK indie rock scene, Bloc Party's Kele Okereke is heading out on tour early next year to support his latest solo record, 2042, including a date at Manchester's most revered new independent live music venue, YES, on Saturday 8th February.
Critically lauded for his work with the electronic-influenced, guitar-driven rock band, including a Mercury Prize nomination for their 2005 debut album, Silent Alarm, Kele has been working hard on his own self-titled, solo project for almost a decade.
2017 saw the first full length release, Fatherland, followed by this year's Leave to Remain, a soundtrack album to accompany a musical show by the same name, written by Okereke and Doctor Who writer Matt Jones. His fourth solo album is due for release on November 8th via Kele's own label KOLA.
The Londoner has changed the course of his musical and lyrical direction many times though out his career, evolving from electronic-indie rock through disco to a more folksy sound. This time Okereke is toying with Afro and Brazilian influences, taking aim at the state of current political affairs and racial tensions within the UK.
The first single taken from the new record is 'JUNGLE BUNNY', with Okereke exploring the themes of discord, racism and his own responsibilities as a black performer in the music industry.
Tickets for Kele Okereke's show at YES Manchester on Sat 8 Feb can be found below

As we all know, either Senator Francis 'Kiko' Pangilinan or Senator Paolo Benigno 'Bam' Aquino IV could be the presidential bet of Liberal Party (LP) in the 2022 elections. However, a netizen who claimed herself as a former aide of Megastar Sharon Cuneta said that Sen. Kiko will never give way to any of his partymates, not even Sen. Bam Aquino.
"Matagal po akong naging isa sa mga alalay ni Mam, at madalas ko pong naririnig kay Sen Kiko na gusto nyang tumakbo sa pagka president. Dapat nga daw nung 2010, kaso nga mas sikat si Mar Roxas sa kanya, tas nagpaubaya naman kay PNoy." Sharon's ex-aide said in her message to us here at Philippine News Courier this Friday, November 24.
"Wala na po ako sa kanila nung final na ang pagiging LP president ni Sen Kiko. Kaso sabi ng fren ko na naiwan kay Mam, di na daw papayag si mega senador na di tatakbo sa 2022. Di na daw sya papayag na iba ang piliin ng LP, kahit gusto ding tumakbo ni Sen Bam." The netizen added, who requested not to be identified to protect her privacy.
According to the netizen, Pangilinan want to run for president in 2010 but he was overshadowed by the popularity of Mar Roxas, who eventually gave way for Noynoy Aquino. She added that Sharon's husband was very happy to be chosen as LP president. And in the coming 2022 election, the Mega senator will push his ambition to be next president.
As of posting, neither Sen. Pangilinan nor Sen. Aquino has announced if they plan to run for president in 2022 or not. But nevertheless, Sen. Kiko has been very vocal in criticizing President Rodrigo Duterte, especially about human rights related to war against drugs. By the way, Sharon is the niece of Senate Majority Leader Tito Sotto, a Duterte ally.
On the other hand, Sen Bam Aquino is the nephew of the late Senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr., and the cousin of former President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III. The 40-year old senator has been in the headlines when President Duterte approved his bill seeking 'Free Tuition in State Universities and Colleges (SUCs)' last August.

Hello, I've a 2005 Scion XB with 216K. As you may know, this kind of Scion has a good amount of cargo space for a small vehicle and good MPG. I'm starting to save up for a better vehicle. I want something for around $3K give or take. I want one that has similar MPG and a large cargo space like the Scion does. I won't mind saving for a newer Scion model. What else can you suggest for similar vehicle with good MPG and lot of cargo space?

When it comes to Jesus given this could easily be as much part of his public life as part of his private life. Jesus gave of himself publically, John 3:14-15 'Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life'. However we shall including giving in as part of Jesus' private life because of his teaching in Matthew 6:2-4 'So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 3But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.'.
Jesus spoke much about giving, both to God, the government and anyone in need. John Chrysostom said that 'Charity is, indeed, a great thing, and a gift of God, and when it is rightly ordered likens us to God Himself, as far as that is possible; for it is charity which makes the man'.
It could be indeed the reason that Jesus both gave so much and taught so much about given, because this is an area that we can become more like God. The Bible calls us time and time again to look after the poor. Sam Storms says 'Our giving is but a reflex of God's giving.' Our giving is not limited to finances but includes our whole selves. Giving and serving are very closely linked. So Jesus teaches that our giving is to be done in private and demonstrates this often in his ministry (Matthew 9:30, Mark 7:36 and Luke 8:56).
What's at stake here is nothing less than our heavenly rewards! Jesus said that if we do our acts of righteousness before men to be seen, we will have no reward from our Father in heaven. Yet if we do our giving in secret, our Father will reward us. Our treasures on earth decay, or are taken away from us (Matthew 6:19) but Peter says we have an inheritance in heaven that can never perish, spoil, or fade (1 Peter 1:4). If we truly grasped the significance of our heavenly rewards, we might be less inclined to trade them in for temporary, earthly recognition. C.S Lewis claims "Nothing that you have not given away will ever be really yours."
God made all of His creation to give. He made the sun, the moon, the stars, the clouds, the earth, the plants to give. He also designed His supreme creation, man, to give. But fallen man is the most reluctant giver in all of God's creation. There are three kinds of giving: grudge giving, duty giving, and thanksgiving. Grudge giving says, "I have to"; duty giving says, "I ought to"; thanksgiving says, "I want to." It is this final kind of given we should show.
The Father gave Jesus to demonstrate his love for us (John 3:16) and Jesus showed the ultimate attitude of giving as he gave his life for us. If we are to give like Jesus, our giving is to be marked by self-sacrifice and self-forgetfulness and not by self-congratulation.

This is for information only, I got an email and figured I would pass it along. I actually only have the oilcan delay from them, and it was $79.
It seems to be a good deal for someone that might be needing a place to start and need a comprehensive package, or even for the money I am sure there are a couple goodies here, I really like the oilcan delay and there isn't much out there like it, I noticed it was included also.
