Sales tips, industry news, RS&I events, and much more.
As you know, marketing plans need to be fluid as you adjust for the unexpected scenarios that regularly arrive at the door step of every small business owner. As soon as you think you know where you're headed, you may have to adapt to new information, delays or even a new strategy.
But having a marketing plan in place is crucial to the overall success of any business these days. A solid plan sets you on solid ground and gives you the direction you need to get the word out about the products and services you offer.
As you refuse to settle for the mediocre, take a look at the tips we'll review below to help you brainstorm some new ideas for your own marketing practices. After all, the new year is upon us and you'll want to make 2018 another big success.
A few necessities will need to take place in order to bring about the most progress throughout the coming year. Think about this list of questions to make sure you've covered your bases:
We all know having an online presence is just as important, or more, as having a physical location where your customers can shop or acquire the information they need to make a decision to buy your products and services. But does everything online represent what you currently offer? Now's the time to check.
Even the printed materials need to be looked over for consistent information and branding. It's a good idea to have a hard copy of all your marketing materials in one place to make sure you're able to review them on a regular basis.
After thinking about each of the questions above, we hope you've thought of a few new ideas to add to your marketing efforts in 2018.
If you're a new small business or if you'd like some help getting more details put down in writing, check our our Marketing Plan Workbook. It's got even more great ideas on how to put your plan together. Enjoy!

I have always known that there was another Nicole Ramage somewhere in Portland. Never in my wildest dreams would I ever think that I would meet her, until yesterday. I was in my literature class and we were asked to interview our table mate and share something interesting about them so that our instructor would be able to remember all 36 of us. It turns out that my table mate, of all the people in the world was also named Nicole Ramage, she was also 26, and had a sun that is 1.5 years old. I was blown away. We didn't look anything alike but apparently, we are doppelgangers nonetheless.
This whole week, as well as next week is over flowing with a million things I need to get done. Today it is work and grocery shopping. I really want some food in my house so that is going to be my number one mission for the day. I also really need to get some work done so that I can have money to do what I like and pay the bills. Surprisingly my page views have been phenomenal for not having worked in 3 days. I really need to get print some coloring pages for my boys to put in their Easter baskets. I helped my sister out this year with picking up Easter for my nephews. I would feel bad if they got nothing-- especially knowing the reason is because someone stole one of their cars and they paid a lot of money to have it repaired-- money that would have gone to their Easter baskets and paying rent. Luckily for them, they don't have to worry about late rent and things like that because their landlord is my sister's brother in law. Their apartment is a complete shit hole and he does nothing to care for the property or the place but they don't seem to mind.
I don't know if my sister is going to be able to bring up the boys to do Easter eggs this year, or where we would do them since I don't have a table of any kind and I'm debating on whether I want to do eggs with Hail this year if they don't come. We don't eat that many hard boiled eggs and he hates eggs and won't even touch them. While egg coloring is fun, it seems like a waste if they won't be eaten afterwards. That, and I think he might be a bit too young to really enjoy it. Who knows. I have a few more days to decide on that one. My biggest concern, worry for this week is going to do the damn dentist. I am going to be terrified and worry over it until it's done and over with. I am allergic to Novocaine so if I have to have any work done they will have to gas me or something. I'm not sure. I just know that I will need a lot of work done and I'm not sure how long it's going to take but I want to get it done. My teeth haven't been hurting so I don't imagine that I have any that are completely rotted, but I know I have a lot of cavities-- after all, I am a baker. I drink far too much caffeine and I don't floss a million times a day.
I finally cleaned out my filing cabinet yesterday too. Man, that was long over due. I had stuff in there from 2005 that I had just been packing around. I also had ex-husband's stuff in there that I no longer see fit to keep. I felt a huge pressure lift when I saw it go in the garbage-- all of it, including the old printer that apparently won't work now cuz I can't get ink for it. It's no matter, the new one that I got is also an HP so it streams with my laptop. It also is very fast and efficient, unlike the last one. Speaking of computers, I need to find a new fan for mine. It seems to be going out and it sounds like a tiny helicopter spinning around in there. I have no idea how to fix something like and whether or not it would be easy but it needs to be done. That is an annoying noise. It has been doing it far less than it was before, but I still don't like to listen to it while I work.

I sent Easter boxes to my niece so her kids would get something. It really isn't the kids fault.
I hated flossing until I found these things called flossers that are plastic and have a piece of floss strung between the plastic. My teeth are really close together and regular floss was impossible. These make it "doable."
Never been a fan of boiled eggs. I would consider making crafty eggs and coloring those instead. Saves on food you won't use and gives kids the fun of decorating.

Chesham, Home Counties Employment Information
Chesham Overview Chesham is a reasonably large market town and civil parish located within the heart of ...
Chesham Overview
Chesham is a reasonably large market town and civil parish located within the heart of Buckinghamshire. According to the 2011 census, the Chesham metropolitan area boasts a population of just over 21,000 residents. The statistical website Numbeo notes that after taxes, the average disposable income within this town is £1,200 pcm. Although at one time this entire region was known for its involvement within the brewing and agricultural sectors, many jobs in Chesham are now associated with commerce and sales. It is expected that an emergence of a strong IT presence will come to pass in the next decade, similar to many other towns throughout the United Kingdom.
Chesham Job Opportunities
In modern times, Chesham jobs tend to be focused around the importance of small- to medium-size enterprises. So, positions the likes of management jobs in Chesham are now becoming increasingly common. Technology-based firms are enjoying a healthy presence throughout the city centre, with IT support desk jobs growing in numbers. This industry has opened up possibilities for more specialised roles, such as those associated with project administrator jobs. According to an article featured on BBC News, Chesham is also known for its rather distinct high street business district. The inclusion of professional services alongside traditional street markets will likewise provide a wide spectrum of job opportunities to those with the relevant qualifications.
Chesham Jobs: Employment Trends
Since its departure from the agricultural and brewing industries, Chesham has focused upon retail development and commerce. This trend is likely to continue into the foreseeable future. However, increased competition from nearby towns, such as Tring and Amersham, signal that there may be further diversification into other client-centred sectors. Many younger families are now living in Chesham, and this could signify that a highly skilled labour force will emerge in the coming decade. Still, the tendency towards embracing smaller enterprises should remain quite strong. This may be ideal for those who are looking to start their own business.

Zipcar users in Philadelphia will soon be able to rent out cars without having to make a round trip.
After a successful pilot in Boston, Zipcar will be offering ONE>WAY service in Philly, Denver and L.A., the Boston Globe reported. That means users of the rental service can drop off their vehicles in a spot other than the original rental location.
ONE>WAY's expansion shows that Zipcar is trying to push its way into the market of taxi services like Uber and Lyft, noted the Shared Use Mobility Center. The service is geared toward more casual, spontaneous trips, as drivers can only book their cars half an hour before the trip starts. In Boston, it costs $6 per half-hour plus an annual membership fee of $60.
Users must book both the car and the space it will park in, avoiding the issue of drivers arriving at a Zipcar parking lot that's full or empty.
And here's more good news for Philly Zipsters: the company is letting you get outta town on the weekend of the pope's visit for around half off the usual price. In a papal visit deal, users can rent a Zipcar from September 25 to 28 for $149.

@Shamar @kaniini @starbreaker @rysiek I'm skeptical of and concerned about commercial exploitation too. Problem is, "noncommercial" doesn't fix the things you'll expect it to, and will prevent things you want.
Here's a question: if Linux were noncommercial, should a community run nonprofit be legally allowed to run it in a commercially run hosting service / datacenter? Even if the hosting service profits from it? Can the cooperative collect dues?
@cwebber @Shamar @kaniini @starbreaker @rysiek
Have you seen the peer production license? http://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Peer_Production_License
I think its a bit better than a blanket NC license. What I really want is a license requiring income from a commercial entity be used to improve the software. Either by spending time working on it, or paying for others time.
@alienghic @Shamar @kaniini @starbreaker @rysiek I think the Peer Production License is a license with good intents and good people that is unfortunately doomed like every other NC approach
@alienghic @cwebber @Shamar @kaniini @starbreaker and this (as a licensing scheme) is 100% fine, because anyone has a clear choice -- either you go with GPL, or you pay.
Notice there is nothing about "noncommercial" in the GPL.
That's my point, NC is not necessary to achieve what people think it's needed for. And it's counter-productive and problematic in general.
@rysiek @cwebber @Shamar @kaniini @starbreaker
I thought Stallman explicitly wanted commercial activity to be allowed. Though he usually used the example of CD distributors.
@alienghic @cwebber @Shamar @kaniini @starbreaker yeah, but I don't think it was for the commercial activity per se, it was more of a "why block good uses of the software if they happen to be somehow related to a money flow"
@kaniini @Shamar @starbreaker @cwebber @alienghic nah.
It's older.

In the summer of 2016, we saw our first referral go through the ConsultLoop platform. At the time, it felt like a huge milestone because it made this platform real. We had spent many months planning, sketching, listening, building, refining, and of course worrying, but finally, we had a product, and we were starting to help patients. As three doctors working in family medicine and emergency medicine, this has been at the core of our company mission and remains that way to this day. Help patients, and help doctors and their staff help patients.
We had many exciting moments where we felt encouraged in our mission. We knew the importance of what we were doing, but having the support of colleagues meant a lot in those early days. We were thrilled when we saw our platform "work" – prevent lost referrals, save time and phone calls, reduce wait times, and improve the patient experience. At the same time, there were moments when we were humbled by the complexity involved in building a pan-provincial e-referral platform. There were clinics we needed to work harder to serve, and in some cases we were successful, in others we were not. Even in those failures, we learned, and we could certainly see that the biggest leaps in our product, as well as in our business, have come from those learning moments.
This week, we reached a new milestone as we have processed our 10,000th e-referral. To us, this is a huge milestone in that we know we have built a stable, useful platform, and that alongside it is our amazing directory of 5,000 Ontario specialists with key info such as wait times, scope of practice and language information. We are also seeing our usage data get richer and more comprehensive, which is exciting for the math nerds in our midst. We look at the opportunities ahead of us in growing our network through awesome new features that better connect our healthcare system, reducing work, eliminating friction, and making it a better experience for all involved.
We built ConsultLoop to address key problems for patients navigating the healthcare system. First, it's too hard to navigate wait times and find the right specialist. Second, too many referrals get lost, which is unacceptable given today's technology. Third, too much time is spent on the phone notifying patients, calling other offices. Today, we look squarely at these three problems and know we are solving them for our clients and their patients, and that we are well-positioned to solve it for the province, if not the country, as our mission expands.
We will learn a lot more as we continue on our journey, but we're happy to share the top ten lessons from our first 10,000 e-referrals:
- Our healthcare system is rich with people – docs and admins – who want to do good for patients.
- Clarifying our values made it easier to face key business decisions.
- Technology is opening up many new possibilities – the status quo cannot be defended.
- In a complex ecosystem, many things will be outside your control. Find workarounds.
- A good, reasoned "no" provides more more valuable lessons than a casual "yes".
- Health tech should still help patients who cannot use it, and should improve, not worsen equity.
- It's vital to provide immediately available, human customer service.
- People should want to use your product. If anything is forced, it's not good enough.
- Our "product" is really a commitment to solve a specific problem, no matter what or how.
- No matter how far we've come, there's always much more ahead.

Bud Holley *Stopped Smoking After 28 Years!* - Listen to His Patrick Seminars Review
JOHN: This is John, and I'm on the phone with Bud. Bud, can you tell everybody a little bit about yourself and where you're from?
BUD: I am from Santa Rosa, California. I moved to Boise, Idaho and I now live in Kuna. I've been a stream printer since 1984. This is stuff from Michael Jackson, The Rolling Stones. Smoking my way all the way through every bit of it. I started smoking in 19—I'm going to say 1980 at least. Yes, started smoking then and haven't stopped. Pack and a half every day.
JOHN: So, that sounds like about 28 years you've been smoking, right?
BUD: Yes, at least. I'm just estimating because my brain is still, the smoking ain't quite gone yet, you know.
JOHN: So, Bud, give us a couple examples of the things you tried to help stop smoking.
BUD: Oh, I have tried the patch, I tried like three or four patches at the same time. That didn't work. Tried the gum. Yes, I just—I tried to throw them down and not pick them up again and the willpower part. That didn't work either. Yes, it is just one thing after another that I've tired just didn't cut it for me.
JOHN: What was the longest you actually did stop for?
BUD: Oh, I'm probably going to say about, I don't know, two weeks maybe. Two weeks is the most, yes.
JOHN: Two weeks was the longest.
BUD: Yes.
JOHN: Alright. What were your expectations coming to a Mark Patrick seminar?
BUD: That's a scary question. You know, I know a really famous hypnotist and I knew that hypnotism does work. Being able to go to this thing and accept it within myself just the hypnotizing and being not scared. And knowing that I wanted to quit smoking. I mean, the courage that I had behind me, you know, Mark Patrick really put that in front of me and say, "Hey, let him do what he has to do and see what happens."
JOHN: So, what changes have you noticed since the seminar?
BUD: Well, I can ride my bike, I can walk, I can run, I can jog, I'm on the treadmill. I'm not huffing and puffing, I'm not wheezing. I mean, it totally changed my life. Totally changed my life.
JOHN: So, it sounds like an improvement in your health?
BUD: Very much so. Very much so. And you know, and what I did is I actually—I came home after his, "Well, okay, let's practice up a little bit." After I left his seminar and I got in the car and my girlfriend went and bought a pack of cigarettes. And this is the truth, man, the dead's honest truth. She said, "Smoke a cigarette before you go in there." So, I went in there and smoked one before. I came back out, I had no desire whatsoever to have a cigarette. I didn't like the smell. I didn't like the, I don't know, the wheezing that I had inside of me. It was just terrible. Terrible.
JOHN: Well, that sounds like a real success story. So, if there's one statement or word of advice you would give someone thinking about coming to a seminar, what would that be?
BUD: Well, I'll tell you, John. I actually gave 12 people Mark's number and how to go to his seminar and all the information and everything. I've been giving it out for the last couple of days because I knew he was coming back to town. Because people were so proud of me of being able to accomplish something like that and they were so scared within themselves that they actually said, "Okay, give me the name and number." I just pass them his name and number out for the last three days. It has totally changed my life. I mean, there is no ashtrays in my house, no cigarette buds in my house. I mean, the smell, or anything. The weirdest thing, I got to tell you this, John. The weirdest thing about this is I no longer can smell smoke from the cigarettes. I can smell the stinky part of the stale cigarette, but I don't smell the actual smoke of the cigarette when people smoke around me. And that's what's really helped me out a lot. It's like a cigarette—I don't look twice at one anyone. I mean, like I said, it's incredible. I've been a smoker for years. I went from Marlboros to Camels and had all this memorabilia stuff, Camel cigarettes, John Camel. I threw it all out. I threw it all out. I don't even know why I liked it anymore. Yes. And to this day, like I said, the weight loss program that he does and the cigarette program, I've been telling people left and right to get them in there and get down. I offered to pay for two of my friends that are like in their 70s that smoke, I said, "I will pay for each of you to go." But, unfortunately, my truck had an oil leak and I couldn't afford it. They were over tonight and they said, "Don't worry about it. We will go and pay for ourselves. And we are going to go to this seminar. We see that it works for you, Bud. It may work for us." And they called and signed up.
JOHN: Bud, I really appreciate you taking the time to do this for me today. I really, really do. Thank you so much.
BUD: Hey, don't thank me, man. Thank Mark. Mark made it all happen.

Chevrolet Colorado Z71 Trail Boss Edition Unveiled in Cleveland
Early this month at the Cleveland Auto Show, Chevrolet showed off the Colorado Z71 Trail Boss special edition truck. This truck is designed to tackle the roughest terrain; though, it will still feel comfortable being your daily driver.
With this off-road machine, buyers won't have just one option to choose from. The Trail Boss package is available on either the extended or crew cab configurations and can be had with either a long or short cargo bed. No matter which body style you choose, every Trail Boss will come with an off-road truck suspension package that includes more aggressive tires.
"The Chevrolet Colorado Z71 Trail Boss Edition is equally at home blazing an urban trail or following one to a favorite remote campground," said Tony Johnson, Colorado marketing manager, in a statement. "It gives owners the gear-carrying ability and versatility they need to venture off-road, with segment-leading efficiency and capability."
The Trail Boss will go on sale at dealerships nationwide this spring with a starting price of $31,825, including the special package options.
Not only will the Trail Boss be aggressive on the road, but it will look the part, too, with black fender flares, black Chevy bowties, and 17-inch dark argent metallic painted cast-aluminum wheels.
If you're looking to tackle the terrain here in Texas, consider the Chevrolet Colorado Z71 Trail Boss edition. Give us a call at Hanner Chevrolet and we'll help you get behind the wheel of this off-road machine.

On this day, we'd like you to mark your calendar for Wednesday, October 3rd at noon when a rally to Save the Georgia Archives is planned for the Capitol Rotunda in Atlanta. Show up early, and bring as many friends as you can.
Though Governor Nathan Deal stated that he would restore funding for the Georgia Archives at the Georgia Archives Month proclamation signing on September 19th, no plans for funding before the closing date, and the termination date of the seven archivists who will leave the Archives without experienced staff, have been made. Secretary of State Brian Kemp remains committed to taking the entire 3% of his department's budget cut from the Georgia Archives.
Without action in October, the people of Georgia will lose access to their own history and public records, while the professionals who have preserved and made available this collection will be forced to move on with their careers. As all researchers know, a knowledgeable staff makes all the difference for finding relevant, useful, and accurate information.
For more information about the rally, and what else you can do to help save the Georgia Archives, please visit the Friends of Georgia Archives and History website and the Georgia Genealogical Society website.

A few weeks ago, I was invited to speak to a group of 11th graders about Paulo Coelho's deeply impactful book "The Alchemist." I was the expert on the internal world who would explain the many spiritual themes and ideas presented in this small yet profound book, and answer any questions that had come up for the students during the reading of it.
The students were wonderful. They and their teacher asked poignant questions and listened intently. Later, I received a message from their teacher telling me that the insights I had shared had inspired lively dialogue after my departure. I felt elated.
A few days later, I was sharing this experience with a friend who is the mother of two young children. She was shocked that a public high school had allowed for such spiritual dialogue to take place during school hours.
To be perfectly frank, her comment rattled me. It raised within me many questions:
Why should there not be spiritual dialogue at schools?
If spirituality is a taboo topic in schools, could the lack of spiritual dialogue be at the root of some the harmful (both to self and others) behavior we see among teens?
Could this aversion to speaking about spirituality be part of why many teens feel isolated and alone?
Even beyond the teenage years, many adults in America feel lost, isolated, alone, and unfulfilled -- symptoms of a separation from our Inner Beings. Is this separation caused in part by our insistence on keeping spirituality and life separate?
This topic is so sensitive that even these simple questions might be triggering you right now to feel anger, frustration, or defensiveness. You might think, "Who are you to say these things? To make these statements?" If this is the case -- if you feel triggered by my words thus far -- I hope you will keep reading.
My goal with the article is not to invalidate your beliefs or even challenge them. I believe that by engaging in open dialogue, especially on sensitive topics, we give ourselves the opportunity to dive deeper into our Selves, to question and refine our beliefs, and to choose our beliefs more deliberately, which ultimately strengthens our faith and deepens our relationships.
Why is spirituality such a taboo topic?
Perhaps it is because:
Among topics to NOT bring up at a casual dinner party, religion is in the top three -- the other two being politics and how to parent.
Religion and spirituality are often lumped together and even used interchangeably at times.
Before we examine whether religion and spirituality are the same thing, let's consider why it is not wise to discuss religion at the dinner table.
We often have very strong beliefs around our chosen faith, so much so that we tend to define ourselves with these beliefs. When someone outside of our faith questions, comments on, or challenges our beliefs, we take it personal. If we feel these beliefs threatened in any way, we may feel offended, even defensive. When our religious beliefs are put under inquiry, t's as though our entire identity is being questioned.
"I'm a Christian/Muslim/Jew/Buddhist/Atheist" is usually one of the first handful of things we share about ourselves with those who are meeting us for the first time.
This very question came up during my talk with those high school students a few weeks ago. I will share with you what I discussed with them.
Religion describes the social, public, and organizational means by which we relate to the divine. It provides a roadmap and a set of guidelines that teach us how to worship, and what it takes to connect with the grand orchestrator of life. Religion resides outside of us, but give us an opportunity and the means to go inward where our connection with the divine resides.
Spirituality is our connection with the infinite consciousness within us. It is completely experiential and personal. Spirituality cannot be taught because words don't teach. I often say that we don't learn anything when we are on the spiritual path, we remember what we already know.
By the way, that consciousness I am speaking of can have many names. It ultimately does not matter what you call it, what matters is our relationship to it.
You can call it the Spirit, Inner Being, True Self, God, Allah, the Divine, the Universe, Beingness, Intuition, pure awareness, or even your subconscious mind. It doesn't matter what you call it, because a connection with it feels the same regardless of the language you speak, the age of your body, the color of your skin, your religious upbringing, your political ideologies, or what color shirt you're wearing right now.
I have a different view on this.
I believe all religions have within them the means to lead us into spirituality, but not all who are religious will step into this deeply personal relationship with the divine.
Religions are, in essence, schools for spirituality, but because spirituality cannot be taught with words and must be felt, not all who are religious will be spiritual. This means, you can be a very good Christian, Muslim, Jew, Buddhist, or Bahai without ever feeling a deep connection with the divine within you.
On the flip side, you do not have to be religious at all in order to be deeply spiritual. In fact, you can be a devout atheist and be extremely spiritual if you cultivate an ongoing relationship with the infinite intelligence that resides within you. Instead of calling it God or Allah, you might call it your "subconscious mind" or simply "energy."
In the end, the words don't matter. What's important is the relationship.
So, based on this definition of religion and spirituality, all religions are valid and beautiful, because they all provide an avenue into our True Selves.
Spirituality, then, can NOT be a form of religion.
Countless other avenues also exist, including painting, spending time in nature, listening to or playing music, going for walks, dancing, writing, singing, making anything with our hands, solving a problem, being in the present moment, focusing on the breath, being thankful, making love, taking a shower, and brushing our teeth.
Every act we participate in during every moment of every day has within it the potential of guiding us into our True Selves, and therefore can be a spiritual practice.
When we look at the world in this way, we see how silly it is to focus on what makes us different rather than where we are all the same.
Children understand this truth better than any adult. They see the essence of a being rather than the intellectual adornments we hang ourselves as we age. It is as they turn into teenagers that they begin to forget who they truly are -- infinite creators who have come here to experience expansion.
It often takes us our entire lives to find our way back to clarity -- back to spirituality.
So, why not at least attempt to stop this process of forgetting who we are where the separation often begins -- during the teenage years?
Why not provide spiritual guidance to children and teens before they get brainwashed into thinking that this world is all about the physical experience and that doing is far superior than being?
Why not help them maintain their connection to their Spirit so they have something real to lean on during the tough times of their lives, so they don't feel lonely and disconnected, so they continue to know that they are infinite intelligence individualized in physical form, and so they never lose the belief that they can do, be, and have anything they dream of?

Rallying call over development plans for historic garden and wall
PUBLISHED: 12:33 13 March 2019 | UPDATED: 13:23 13 March 2019
Archant © 2017
Plans for a bungalow in the former grounds of a landmark Gorleston house involve the partial demolition of an historic brick boundary.
Herringfleet Developments wants to build a three-bedroom bungalow next to Koolunga House in the High Street but needs to break through a continuous brick wall to gain access.
Under the plans the new access will be at the southern end of the wall, tagged as "quite plain and lacking in architectural interest and detail" in papers submitted as part of the application.
The enclosed plot, which was sold at auction in 2017, was once part of the Grade II-listed home's garden, the variety of trees lending it a parkland character.
MORE: Mystery over Gorleston tree poisoner
At one time there would have been stables, a paddock, glass houses, pond and a water feature, with French windows opening out to what is now the south-facing application site.
There are said to be 60 trees on the site, 23 of which are only of "moderate value."
Robert Smith, Koolunga House freeholder, said: "I do not support this application.
"This development will be detrimental to the relationship of Koolunga House to this land which has such historic and strong links as it used to be the formal lawns and gardens for the manor house.
"The environmental impact will be significant with the loss of some 26 trees. The demolition of the imposing boundary wall, and proposed modern adaption will remove an extremely rare town feature.
"I believe the land and wall should be restored, and maintained as is, and remain closely related to the historic house for future generations.
"I would urge the residents of Gorleston to voice their concerns with the council, and protect their local heritage."
According to the applicant the design of the new building is "sympathetic" to the house and other buildings within the conservation area.
The single-storey dwelling and separate garage will not be visible above the boundary wall which is described as "striking" but damaged and crudely repaired in certain places.
Some 43.5m of wall is within the application site.
The development would allow for wall repairs, add to the street scene and tidy up an area that will otherwise continue to languish and attract anti social behaviour.
It will also deal with what is described as "a blind corner for pedestrians and potential hiding spot for miscreants."

The Communist Manifesto had, as its object, the proclamation of the inevitable impending dissolution of modern bourgeois property. But in Russia we find, face-to-face with the rapidly flowering capitalist swindle and bourgeois property, just beginning to develop, more than half the land owned in common by the peasants. Now the question is: can the Russian obshchina, though greatly undermined, yet a form of primeval common ownership of land, pass directly to the higher form of Communist common ownership? Or, on the contrary, must it first pass through the same process of dissolution such as constitutes the historical evolution of the West?
The only answer to that possible today is this: If the Russian Revolution becomes the signal for a proletarian revolution in the West, so that both complement each other, the present Russian common ownership of land may serve as the starting point for a communist development. [Marx and Engels, 'Preface' to the 1882 Russian Edition of The Communist Manifesto; all emphasis added]
The above passage, jointly signed by Marx and Engels, appears at the end of the 1882 'Preface' to the Russian edition of The Communist Manifesto. It also appears, towards the end of a decade-long engagement with the Russian social formation and the social formation of many Eastern societies like India's. The detailed notes, excerpts and commentaries compiled by Marx, published later as The Ethnological Notebooks of Karl Marx, belong precisely to the end of this period, the years 1880-1882. Marx passed away the following year, in 1983. Continue reading Karl Marx in the Times of Climate Change

The continent of Africa represented for many centuries a great mystery to the rest of the World. Its vast lands remained uncharted all up to late years of 19th century, when many European countries became invested into colonization of this continent. Beginning of this sudden European invasion process was made possible by the discoveries of many 19th century explorers (most notably David Livingstone and Henry Morton Stanley), as well by the efforts of much older explorers from Ancient Greece and Rome.
He traveled several times exploring the eastern coast of Africa paving the way for future Portuguese discoveries. Diogo Cao's discoveries were instrumental in the Vasco De Gama's famous first journey to the India.
Early years of 20th century are today remembered as one of the most exciting times for the explorers. In that short 25-year period, several important scientific journeys left their mark in the polar snows and history of the world. That time-period is today known as "Heroic Age of Polar Exploration".
In the last 50 years, space explorers brought us some of the greatest discoveries in human history. From the first human in space, to the first steps on the moon, brave space explorers continue to amaze us with their expeditions in the dark and inhospitable environment of Space.

Expanded capabilities for tomorrow's marketing challenges
MightyHive recently became certified as a Google Cloud Platform Partner. This certification marks an exciting new chapter in our evolution as a company and allows us to bring powerful new solutions to brands.
MightyHive has been a Google Marketing Platform Partner since 2012. The advertising industry and the needs of marketers have changed considerably since then. As the scope of programmatic advertising has evolved from siloed point solutions to unified marketing & advertising stacks to enterprise systems integrations, MightyHive has evolved as well.
Our recent certification as a Google Cloud Platform Partner allows us to provide a range of services and solutions that encompass the full breadth of technology and data that today's advertisers must bring together in order to succeed.
The enterprise ad stack, past, present, and future
PAST: Point solutions with cumbersome integrations into limited first-party data sets
PRESENT: Enterprise-grade integrated ad stacks with seamless integrations into some first-party data sets
FUTURE: Enterprise data and ad stack learn from and inform one another via always-on Cloud integrations and analytics
Cloud-based solutions are becoming critical to marketer success
MightyHive has seen brands amass digital advertising data in two key areas: within their own first-party systems (e.g., CRM, site analytics, offline data) and within digital advertising platforms (e.g., Google Marketing Platform, Facebook). There are dramatic advantages that can be unlocked when these terabyte-scale data sets can inform and learn from one another.
A few out-of-the-box integrations already exist between data, analytics, and media activation, such as those between Google Analytics 360 and Display & Video 360, Google Marketing Platform and BigQuery, or between Google Analytics 360 and Salesforce. However, even these powerful platform integrations don't fully address the needs of advanced marketers. Every brand has unique data sets, unique insights, and unique KPIs—all key ingredients of competitive differentiation and successful advertising.
Given this environment of complexity and often staggering scale, Google Cloud Platform plays a dual role:
- First, as a powerful piece of "workhorse" infrastructure that can bridge the gap between brands' technology and data sets residing both within and outside the enterprise.
- Second, as a flexible toolset for developing bespoke solutions and models that truly unlock the wealth of insights many brands have amassed about their customers and their campaigns.
Google Cloud Platform provides infrastructure and computational power to allow Brand Data and Advertising Platform Data to inform and learn from one another.
Maintaining brand control
Developing solutions using Google Cloud Platform also confers a key strategic benefit to brands: a brand's Cloud environment is one over which they have total control. Cloud-based solutions are the exact opposite of "black boxes" that offer little or no insight in return for devouring brand data. Brands have complete transparency into the sources, uses, and targets of data in a secure environment customized to meet data governance requirements.
Key marketer use cases
MightyHive has identified four key use-cases where marketers have a need to both solve for today's challenges and build critical infrastructure to be competitive in the coming years. And we expect to learn a great deal more from our clients as we partner with them on transformative projects using Google Cloud Platform.
Attribution Modeling
For marketers needing to enhance or exceed the capabilities of out-of-the box attribution tools, custom attribution models bring together event-level advertising touchpoint data and give marketers a better understanding of what's driving performance across devices, channels, and platforms.
Audience Segmentation
With Cloud-based solutions able to bring all relevant customer data (from CRM systems, site-side analytics, and advertising touchpoints) together, MightyHive can help marketers identify high-value audience segments for activation across digital ad and CRM campaigns.
Media Mix Modeling
Google Cloud infrastructure and vast computational power can aggregate, normalize, and perform complex statistical analyses on historical advertising, site analytics, CRM, and sales data sets in order to develop Media Mix Models. Marketers can use these Models to optimize budget allocation or extrapolate trends and effects for future planning.
Data-driven Personalization
By analyzing how data sets such as customer/visitor profiles, A/B and multivariate test results, and site analytics combine to influence business outcomes (e.g., conversions, ROAS), MightyHive can help marketers personalize site content and UX to optimize toward stronger outcomes.
Unlocking strategic data sources
While each advertiser has its own unique data "footprint," the types of data that marketers need to unify, analyze, and activate generally fall into five categories:
Site-side analytics
Site-side analytics represent some of most detailed, most reliable data available to marketers, with the unique benefit that actions and outcomes can often be definitively tied back to customers or users. When raw site-site analytics data can be brought into a Cloud environment and combined with and analyzed alongside other data sets, MightyHive can help marketers uncover fresh insights.
First-party, CRM, and offline data
Brands have amassed vast sets of proprietary data that can be used to both inform digital advertising and measure its performance. Data sources include CRM systems, sales, offline conversions and touchpoints, customer rewards and loyalty, and call centers.
Log- and event-level ad data
Log- and event-level data would primarily come from ad servers in the form of log files, but could conceivably come from any marketing system that tracks discrete events (e.g., ad exposures, clicks) in a raw, structured format that is available for download or export.
Cost & flight data
This would include marketing campaign data not natively available within digital ad platforms. Cost & flight data might cover campaigns run by agencies and partners, or spend from TV, print, and radio.
Cross-platform and cross-channel data
The flexibility and open architecture of Cloud-based analytics allows for the integration of data from across channels and platforms including the Google Marketing Platform, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and more.
Contact us to learn more
Google Cloud Platform is a new and vital tool for solving the challenges of the world's most advanced marketers and advertisers. If your brand wants to unify data & technology and build powerful, fresh marketing insights, please contact us and we can start a conversation.

Achieve success by your own rules & build a life you're proud to live
Teena Gandhi, Co-founder – allbutcake.com
Teena holds a Masters in Investment Management from Cass Business School, London and is also a Chartered Accountant turned entrepreneur. Having handled diverse roles in the industry including – an Investor with a leading Equity firm, managing proprietary investments & real estate development projects; Teena was able to find her ground through the Kids Gifting venture — allbutcate.com
Allbutcate offers parents, esp. mothers the convenience of shopping good quality and unique merchandise for kids which is otherwise an ongoing challenge.Teena loves fitness, travelling and spending time with her 5 year old daughter. Teena shares some more insights from her journey with team ABT.
What led you to co-founding allbutcake.com?
After my education and initial work years, I realized that I had more to my career than what I was currently doing. I wanted to broaden my horizon. I joined H.J Group in the capacity of a Vice President overseeing the proprietary investments and real estate development projects of the company. It was initially very difficult for me to find my place and get serious attention from my male counterparts because of the perception in the Real estate Industry in India. However, with position comes responsibilities and the role that I played in the H.J. Group was very critical to operations.
With focus, sincerity and persistence for pursuing my thirst for entrepreneurship, I started my own company with a group of friends in the kids gifting space — allbutcake.com which offers the USP of a gift registry.
Who is your greatest inspiration and why?
Anne Sweeney — President of Walt Disney once wrote, "Define success on your own terms, achieve it by your own rules and build a life you're proud to live"
I draw my inspiration from not one but a few people in my life — my parents, my husband and my ex-boss. All have inspired me for various reasons. My mother always taught me to stay grounded, my father who keeps mentioning till date that there is no short cut to success & one needs to rough it out in order to shine and stand out.
My husband's belief in me makes me push myself beyond my boundaries. He keeps me focused and always inspires me to get better than what I am today. He's seen it all and I really couldn't do it without him. Last but not the least, my ex-boss, under whom I started my career, who believes that multi-tasking is woman's second nature.
What is that one milestone in your life that makes you happy?
Undoubtedly MOTHERHOOD! I am a proud mother of my 5 year old daughter. Motherhood has given me a new perspective in life – The pleasure of giving birth and the responsibility of honing them at every step — teaching them to be independent yet responsible, making them believe in themselves, transforming them into confident individuals and preparing them to face the world….. it's a beautiful journey and mine has just begun. Being a Mompreneur has made me much more confident to accept more roles and challenges in my life.
What has been your biggest challenge?
Real estate industry is perceived to be an extremely male dominated industry and not a place where a woman is ideally seen. To make your presence felt, your voice heard and command respect for the work you do, remains the biggest challenge. Though I feel, with more and more women taking pole positions in corporate houses, mindset is slowly changing.
What is your advice to a younger self?
Being an entrepreneur requires stamina and discipline. Be determined. Be perseverant. The only thing constant in this world is change. Follow your dreams.
What are your thoughts on the ecosystem for Women Entrepreneurs/Leaders in India today?
A global report by the Lean In Foundation and McKinsey said that women are underrepresented in every position along the corporate ladder, from entry level to the C-suite. In India, women only hold 7.7% of the board seats and just 2.7% of board chairs. But with each passing year, India's female entrepreneurship environment is improving. PM Modi's Start-Up India event this year had a panel about women entrepreneurship. Today, a younger lot of women are chartering unknown territories fearlessly – be it finance, education, travel, retail, e-commerce, anything you can possibly think of! They have immense energy and enthusiasm to bring about a change and run successful ventures. Women are better at bootstrapping and capable of doing more with less funding, willing to collaborate. The start-up world is also adding a new level-playing field. With more and more women taking a plunge into entrepreneurship, we are moving towards more even numbers between genders.
If you could do one thing differently, what would that be?
I regret not staying back in London after my Masters. Ideally would have loved to work abroad and not come back soon after my graduation.
What would you like to achieve in the next 5 years?

I don't know which is the greater evil to a blogger: no readers or no comments.
It's not like there is a shortage of blogs. Uhh, right.
Supposing you've built your blog, optimized the site for search engines, followed the advice of ProBlogger and CopyBlogger, and networked online and off to build awareness, what's next? How do you gain readership and watch your comment numbers increase?
If your blog is underappreciated and in need of a heartbeat, Chuck Westbrook is your salvation.
After 5 weeks, 632 comments, and 95 trackbacks, it's fair to say that Chuck has built a tremendous grassroots movement to increase your readership via his personal blog.
The movement is simple: leave a comment on his blog that you would like to participate and gain readership. Your name goes in the name field, your blog goes into the website field, and your email address won't be published. Add a short comment of a sentence or a paragraph, and voila!
Every two weeks, Chuck will select a new blog for everyone to visit.
That's easy enough, right?
If you know of other ways for bloggers to increase readership and commenting, please share your thoughts below. Thanks!

The City Council intern who had to wait 30 minutes for an ambulance after passing out in Brooklyn — prompting council Speaker Christine Quinn to call Police Commissioner Ray Kelly for help — said the responders were a bunch of slowpokes.
"It could have gotten there quicker," Yvette Toro, 18, told The Post yesterday of the response on Tuesday.
Toro fainted from the heat outside a Williamsburg school while attending a press conference with her boss, Council Member Diana Reyna, and Quinn.
Toro praised Quinn for calling Kelly when the first 911 call failed to produce an ambulance. "She did the right thing. A big thank-you to her," she said.
Mayor Bloomberg wouldn't say if he thought the Kelly call was appropriate, but noted, "Everybody should get the same service whether or not you happen to have somebody who knows the police commissioner."
City officials blamed a surge in radio calls in northern Brooklyn around the time of Toro's incident and the initial 911 caller's indication that Toro was awake.

When Life Gives You A Lumpy Lemon Make a Picture
I keep thinking of Martha Graham dance photos when I look at these images, do you?
Which do you prefer?
Why one is B&W I'm doing the 5 day black and white Challenge and glad of it because, I doubt I would have made the monochrome lemon image otherwise. Part of the challenge is to nominate someone else to do it each day.

The Galápagos Islands, Ecuador:
The Galápagos Islands is located at a distance of 1000 kilometers from the coast of Ecuador. It is a remote place and sparsely populated. It is an archipelago off the coast of Ecuador. Being a great place for nature lovers and the wildlife lovers, Galápagos Islands has very calm waters in the Pacific Ocean. It has been untouched by crimes. It is safe and secure because people have to board a flight to reach the island. Hardly 25,000 people live over here. It is the fourth safest country in entire South America.

South Africans, Australians, Europeans, and Americans love visiting this place. There are various places to be visited in Santiago.
Cartagena, Colombia:
Cartagena is an upcoming popular country because of the gradual growth and changes that it has witnessed in the last few years. The country is a lot safer now compared to what it was in the 1980s and early 1990s. The impending 50-year-old conflict finally ended with the peace agreement between FARC and the Colombian Government. Hundreds and hundreds of US travelers are seen in this country over the past few years. Some petty crimes might take place here and there but nothing major happens in Cartagena which is worth notifying.

The European influence of education is so much that the people living here ensure that they don't discriminate among people. It is a great place to be explored in Brazil. It can surely be your starting point or the start of the traveling point if you plan to explore Brazil after that. The European influence and European education have a complete shape in Brazil.
Patagonia, Argentina, and Chile:
Patagonia is famous for the mountain peaks and glaciers. It also has beautiful land forms which attract a huge number of tourists every year. Patagonia is a remote place so it does not cause any harm to its travelers as people living here are few. Chile and Argentina are the safest countries.
The sudden change in weather can be bit of a problem for the travelers as it is sometimes difficult to adjust in the adverse weather conditions. There are various popular places to visit in Patagonia like the Ushuaia, El Chalten, El Calafate, Los Glaciares National Park and Torres del Paine National Park. Weather-related dangers can be avoided if you plan your trip beforehand or by checking the weather.
Peru is on the bucket list of many travelers going to South America. It is famous for its ancient culture and the monumental and archaeological wonders. It is a safe place to visit with low homicide rates. Crime against foreigners is so negligible that it is almost unheard of. Petty thefts might take place so it is better not to wear expensive jewelry or clothing or just carry around casually expensive tech devices and cameras.
Safety Tips for People Traveling to South America
Avoiding dangerous regions is a great thing to do in South America. Whether you are trekking the Andes or exploring the Amazonian rainforests, it is enthralling for the travelers. Although there are potential dangers to be careful about and that you need to be cautious and alert, but overall, it is the safest place to visit as serious problems and threats are simply unheard of over here.
You should adhere to the regular safety tricks just for the security of it. It's better to leave the highly valuable items at home rather than carrying them along with you. You should always conceal your credit cards, passport,and money. You should never keep your hotel door unlocked. While traveling, your main concern should be pick pocketing. So it is better to carry only that amount of money which you will be needing for the day. South America is a great place for adventure, so it is better to have a great trip with just a careful mind.

We all want a smooth, healthy looking face after shaving.
But all too often your clean-shaven look is ruined by bumps from ingrown hairs.
They're red, unsightly and painful, and when they get infected, they can make your life a misery!
Read on to find out how to calm and treat the ingrown hairs that you have, and, more importantly, prevent any new ones from appearing.
We want to make sure you get the clean shave that you deserve.
What is an ingrown hair?
Sometimes when you cut hairs very short (like when you shave) instead of growing back out of the skin normally they do a U-turn. They curl back into your skin and start to grow beneath the surface. This ingrown hair then creates a swollen bump on your skin.
Your body can interpret the trapped hair as a 'foreign intruder' and so it sends white blood cells to fight it off. That's where the inflammation comes from. This causes the bump to become red, tender and very painful!
What causes razor bumps and ingrown hairs?
Ingrown hairs are almost always the result of shaving, when the hair has been cut to below the surface level of the skin.
If the hair follicle is clogged up by dead skin cells this blocks the hair from growing out normally, and it grows back into the skin, or under the surface, instead.
Most affected skin types
Whilst anyone can get ingrown hairs black-skinned and Hispanic guys tend to have thicker, stronger, curlier hair which is more likely to curl back on itself making you guys more prone to ingrown hairs.
Where do ingrown hairs appear?
As they're usually caused by shaving they can appear pretty much wherever you've shaved! But your neck is particularly susceptible because the hair tends to be coarser there and the skin less well exfoliated.
If ingrown hairs are causing you problems, don't worry. There's a lot you can do to treat the ones you have… and prevent any more from appearing.
How to treat existing ingrown hairs
In most cases ingrown hairs will clear up without treatment but there are things you can do to help speed along the healing process:
- Gently exfoliate the area around the ingrown hair: this will remove any dead skin cells that are blocking the hair from breaking through the skin's surface.
- Apply a warm, damp compress: this will soften the skin and help to tease out the ingrown hair.
- Avoid shaving for a few days: just until your skin has had a chance to heal.
- Use a light, non-greasy moisturizer: this will soften your skin, soothe the inflamed area and improve the texture and tone of your skin.
- Tweeze out any visible hair: if you can see a hair near the surface try to gently pull it out with a pair of sterile tweezers.
If a white pustule has developed around the hair then it has probably become infected, and it's better to deal with it now or it could get worse. If you don't remove it the infected hair may continue to grow and cause further irritation and inflammation.
At this stage it's best to treat the pustule first - and then remove the hair.
Treat the bump with acne medication or a topical hydrocortisone cream. This will reduce the swelling and expose the ingrown hair so that you can easily extract it with a clean pair of tweezers.
Not all ingrown hairs get this bad but if the bump won't heal, and it's becoming more and more painful, then it's worth calling a dermatologist.
They can give you a cortisone injection to quieten down the redness and inflammation caused by the infected ingrown hair under your skin.
But the best treatment is prevention…
How to prevent ingrown hairs and razor bumps
No really, the best way to prevent ingrown hairs from appearing is to exfoliate your skin regularly.
This will minimize the amount of dead skin cells that can clog up the hair follicles and pores which cause the hairs to grow back into the skin.
So if you want to avoid razor bumps altogether then gently exfoliate regularly to keep your skin nice and clear.
But this doesn't mean using a rough facial scrub. Instead choose a gently exfoliating face wash that includes a natural alpha-hydroxy acid. This not only combines two tasks into one – cleaning and exfoliating – but it means that dead skin cells never have the chance to build up and block your hair follicles and pores.
We would definitely recommend our exfoliating Daily Face Wash which is gentle enough to use twice a day, even if you have sensitive skin.
We've got more info about the benefits of exfoliation, as well as the best way to exfoliate your skin here: "A Man's Guide to Exfoliation: FAQ's".
There's also steps you can take to improve your shaving routine to stop ingrown hairs and razor bumps from developing. These steps also help to reduce razor burn and irritation.
Shaving instructions –
4 key steps to prevent ingrown hairs, razor bumps and razor burn
#1: Prepare your skin
- Open your pores first – try to shave after your shower. The hot and humid atmosphere will open up your pores and leave your skin nice and relaxed. Alternatively apply a hot towel to your beard area first, like a professional barber would.
Massage in a nourishing, protective shave cream – this will create a protective barrier between your skin and the blade.
The cream will also soften the hair so that the razor will cut them on the first pass.
DON'T use an alcohol based shave gel though. This will dry out your skin, creating more dead skin cells and encouraging ingrown hairs.
So now with your pores relaxed and open, your skin nourished and protected, and the hairs standing up, your razor will glide easily over your face – with no irritation.
#2: Choose the right razor
#3: Shave Direction
Always shave WITH the grain.
Shaving against the grain not only aggravates your skin causing irritation but it also distorts the hair follicles making ingrown hairs more likely.
#4: Moisturize afterwards
For more on achieving the perfect, painless shaving experience see our article here: "SHAVE: 9 tips to give you a pain-free shave".
Skincare ingredients to look for that can help with ingrown hairs
- Lactic Acid: Lactic Acid is the most gentle of the natural Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHA's) and great for exfoliating away the dead skin cells that cause razor bumps and ingrown hairs.
- Aloe Vera: Aloe Vera is the best at soothing any type of irritated skin.
Alternatively choose skincare products that contain Aloe Vera.
Our Daily Face Wash, Protective Shave Cream and Hydrating Daily Moisturizer are all enriched with Aloe Vera to give you all the soothing and healing benefits of this incredible plant.
- Tea Tree Oil: Tea Tree Oil not only leaves your skin feeling cool and refreshed post-shave, it also helps calm redness and irritation.
The Takeaway
Follow these guidelines and your clean shaven face will always look smooth and blemish-free.
How to treat existing ingrown hairs:
At home -
- Gently exfoliate the area around the ingrown hair
- Apply a warm, damp compress to help tease out the trapped hair
- Avoid shaving for a few days to let the skin heal
- Use a light, non-greasy moisturiser to soften your skin
- Tweeze out visible hair with clean tweezers
If the ingrown hair is infected:
- Treat the bump with acne medication or a steroid cream
- When the swelling has reduced, extract the hair with sterile tweezers
If the bump won't heal:
- See a dermatologist for a cortisone injection
But the best treatment is prevention, so …
- Gently exfoliate your skin regularly
Improve your shaving routine
- Prep your skin well
- Opt for a single blade razor
- Shave WITH the grain
- Moisturize afterwards
And finally, some skincare ingredients to look for:
- Lactic Acid – to gently exfoliate your skin
- Aloe Vera – to soothe and heal
- Tea Tree Oil – to calm redness and irritation. This also purifies and acts as an anti-inflammatory.
All that you need to keep looking handsome.

Limiting Atrophy
Q: Is it possible to keep a limb from atrophying by working the rest of the body?
A: Yes! To share an example from my own experience, when I had arthroscopic surgery on my leg, I was still able to continue with single-leg biking (at a much-reduced level) in order to maintain some semblance of cardiovascular capacity and decrease the rate of atrophy of the other leg. I participated in upper body training for a week, but had to avoid free weight training for the lower body as it would have compromised form and loaded the spine differently by shifting most of the weight onto the other leg, potentially setting me up for some sort of overuse-type injury. After one week of 1-legged biking, I was able to return to gentle 2-legged biking to until I had full range of motion, and I added single-leg free weight strength exercises such as reverse step-ups, gradually increasing functional range of motion to a 10" step height, and then dips, lunges, and eventually squats and deadlifts. My first major activity three months following the surgery was a full day hike down into and up out of the Grand Canyon.
Why does it work? a) Aerobic activity increases blood flow and, therefore, enhances delivery of oxygen to the damaged tissue (even if the limb is not directly contributing to the workload) helping to promote recovery; b) A person who remains active despite injury maintains overall muscle tone throughout the rest of the body and decreases the deterioration of the rest of the body's physiological systems; c) The athlete who continues to be somewhat active maintains a psychological edge over the person who stops training altogether, making the return to full activity much faster; and finally d) By doing isometric (or stationary) exercise you can maintain some muscle tone while allowing full healing about a joint. Such exercise for a leg in a cast, for example, would involve tensing and releasing the quadriceps without the leg moving at the hip or knee joints.
For more on how others have worked through injury and how you might be able to return to activity more quickly, see www.bodyresults.com/e2trainingwithinjuries.asp.
