Think an island escape sounds like it has to involve jetting off to a far-flung destination? Think again.
Just off the south coast of England, the Isle of Wight is easy to reach from the UK but also feels like a true break once you arrive. Expect sandy beaches, superb nature, cute cafes and a range of accommodation options.
Also nicknamed "bicycle island", the Isle of Wight is easy to travel around by bike, and nature lovers should also step out to experience the excellent walking trails.
One great route to try is the Tennyson Trail. Named after the Victorian poet who lived on the Island, it takes you through thick forest and across the downs until you reach The Needles, three chalk stacks that rise out of the sea.

Surfers can also get their fix (head to Compton Bay or Freshwater Bay for the best swell) and there are activities on tap to suit families and children of all ages.
History buffs can head to medieval Carisbrooke Castle or Osborne House (once a summer residence for Queen Victoria), art fans can check out the exhibits at Dimbola and keen sailors can soak up the yachting atmosphere in Cowes.
Here's our guide to where to stay and eat, plus what to do, in the Isle of Wight.
Where to stay
If you're on a budget
Small and friendly, The Bay Boutique B&B is located just a five-minute walk to Freshwater Bay and Dimbola Museum & Galleries. It has just three rooms, all decorated in vibrant colours, so is just the place if you're after a homely feel. Breakfast is cooked to order and you can try the homemade yoghurt. The family-run B&B even hire out electric bikes (£35 per day supplement). B&B doubles cost from £42.50pp.

If you're looking for luxury
With sweeping sea views, landscaped gardens and 14 individually-designed rooms, Haven Hall is just the place for a peaceful stay with added luxe. Located in the village of Shanklin, on the island's east coast, it's just a few steps from the cliff path and also has a heated swimming pool and grass tennis court to keep active guests busy. Inside, expect elegant furnishings, crisp sheets and chandeliers. B&B doubles from £210pp. Children must be aged 12 or above.

Where to eat
If you're on a budget
A short stroll from Freshwater Bay, The Piano Cafe is a relaxed spot that serves good, affordable – and healthy – fare. Pull up a seat on the outdoor terrace or beside one of the big windows and tuck into fresh pastries for breakfast (£1.75) or a homemade tart with salad for lunch (£7.50). The menu has a vegetarian slant and there's a daily specials board, and staff are always friendly and also welcome dogs and cyclists.
If you're looking for luxury
Head to Newport, where you'll find Thompson's Restaurant. Housed inside a pretty red brick building, its kitchen has Robert Thompson at the helm. The UK's youngest chef ever to be awarded a Michelin Star, Thompson has helped to put the Isle of Wight on the foodie map and a lunch or dinner here is a real treat. Highlights from the creative menu include slow cooked pork belly smoked over apple wood and a "raviole" of strawberries and clotted cream. Seasonal set menu starts at £24 for two courses; an eight-course tasting menu costs from £65.
What to do
If you're on a budget
Pull on your walking boots and set out to discover why the Isle of Wight was crowned a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 2019. This is a super destination for both cycling and walking – there's even an annual walking festival (May 2-17 2020) with over 100 scenic walks through nature. For ideas of where to go, check out the recently-launched Slow Travel Guide to the Isle of Wight – a collection of eight routes around the Island that can be explored by bus, bike or on foot.

If you're looking for luxury
For those with a penchant for royal family history, head to Osborne House.
"It is impossible to imagine a prettier spot" said Queen Victoria once of the residency, which was her palatial holiday home.
With rooms and corridors filled with ornate artefacts from The Royal Collection, as well as historic state rooms, a private bathing beach and stunning garden terraces - there's plenty to see.
It's also a great family day out, the grounds are filled with playgrounds and trails, as well as numerous places to stop for food, including the elegant Terrace Restaurant and Beach Pavilion Ice-Cream Parlour. Adults cost from £18.50pp and children (age 5-17) £11.10pp.
How to get there
The Isle of Wight is just over two hours from London, three hours from Birmingham and four hours from Sheffield via ferry or hovercraft. Red Funnel operates daily services between Southampton and East Cowes (from 23 minutes from car ferry terminal; from 55 minutes from passenger ferry terminal). Hovertravel operates a passenger service between Southsea and Ryde (from 10 minutes).
Wightlink also operate services between Portsmouth and Fishbourne (from 45 minutes), Lymington and Yarmouth (from 40 minutes) and Portsmouth Harbour and Ryde (from 22 minutes).
To get around on the Island, bus company Southern Vectis allows visitors to purchase tickets on their smartphones and use them to ride the bus.

Contrary to the ninny nannies who spit and spout and preen about yelling the sky is falling if we frack one more well–the OPPOSITE is the truth. Shale is GREAT for America, in so many ways. Channeling our inner Donald Trump, "It's very very great. So great you won't believe how great it is. You're gonna love it!" Here's just one more way shale is great. A researcher from Clemson University (in South Carolina) poured over mortgage data for the state of Pennsylvania. As you know, not all of PA is blessed with being located in the Marcellus Shale–but much of it is. The intrepid Clemson researcher found in reviewing records from 2004 to 2011 that those with mortgages who live in areas where there is Marcellus Shale defaulted on those mortgages 58% LESS than the statewide average. That is, shale means there's more money to pay bills, a mortgage being one of them. Might we say that the Marcellus can literally save the family farm? Yes, we can say it, and back it up with data! The Clemson researcher also found living in a shale region boosts your FICO credit score…Please Login to view this content. (Not a member?

If Kenya Burns We All Stand To Lose
A thought crossed my mind: If Kenya burns, which neighboring country is stable enough to support the displaced people? If Kenya burns, what measures do we have in place to restore order? The current political climate means a lot for Kenya's national fabric of peace, cohesion and national unity. It is a trying moment for Kenya. Millions of Kenyans are currently wallowing in uncertainty as a result of political wrangles. All Kenyans have equal rights to either choose to participate in the polls or boycott it all together.
What we lack as a country is political tolerance. We always see ethnicity in political differences and affiliations. Political tolerance is the only way we can objectively listen to each other and respect each other's opinions and political differences.
But what has really broken my heart and put me in a state of fear is the level of ethnic hatred and venom spitting going on across the country. It is just shocking to know how low our nation has reached, we are at a point of make or break.
Kenya, my beloved country, I cry for you…
Let's all not forget what we went through in December 2007 to January 2008 when more than 1000 innocent Kenyans lost their lives as a result of similar political wrangles that had divided the country deep down the middle along ethnic and coalition lines. The scars of the 2007/2008 bloodsheds are still part and parcel of our daily Kenyan story. A visit to any IDP camp in Rift Valley will teach you why peace is an asset in any nation.
Let's not forget that where we are today is a consequence of our politics. We shouldn't base it on ethnic hatred and ethnic competition. The level where we are today is what has led to civil wars and ethnic cleansing that was witnessed in Somalia, Sierra Leone and South Sudan. Rwanda too had its share of ethnic hatred in the early 90's that led to the Rwandan genocide of 1994 in which 1 million lives were lost in just a period of 4 months (April 1994 to July 1994).
Aren't lessons from Rwanda, Somalia, and South Sudan enough?
I don't expect Kenya to head that way of civil wars and genocides but the recent happenings have all indications of peace taking a back seat as ethnic hatreds and tensions continue to soar at greater pace every day. The lessons from neighboring Somalia and South Sudan are enough for all my fellow Kenyans who have seen the bad experiences of refugees who ran away from their country to seek safety in another country just because something beyond their control forced them into the refugee situation.
Remember, Kenya has millions of poor citizens and less than a thousand millionaires. If the worst happens the poor of our nation shall continue wallowing in poverty coupled with insecurity and massive displacements from their homes. There is no neighboring nation in Eastern Africa region that can come to the rescue of millions of Kenyans in case massive displacements and refugee situations do happen.
Let's Talk Mandera
I was born in Kenya as a third generation Kenyan of Somali descent. I have studied and lived in Kenya all my life. This country is my homeland and pride. Both my dad and my grandfather were born and brought up in Kenya. They have always lived in Kenya and my family has sacrificed for this country. My dad's brother was killed in an Improvised explosive device attack by terrorists. He was traveling in a public van somewhere between Mandera town and Lafey town. This happened in June 2017 while he was serving the nation for 20 years as the senior chief of Capacity location in Mandera South constituency.
Will the jungle law which used to exist in parts of Northern Kenya before the official governance in 1963, again officially take over from the constitutional law? I don't want to imagine myself in that kind of situation. I really would want to continue living in a peaceful Kenya. That is why Kenya's peace means a lot to me more than anything else.
Thinking beyond 'Kenya Burns' during elections
The thought that Kenya Burns during every election should not be taken lightly. Over the last four elections in Kenya, we have had fire, violence, and bloodshed. It is in the best interests for us to contribute towards building peace and cohesion. Violence and bloodshed isn't a monopoly for any group. It is a consequence everyone can suffer when retaliation starts taking over common sense. No one should lose their life because of supporting National Super Alliance (NASA) or Jubilee Party.
Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga are national leaders who all have massive followings. They should be respected because of the people they were elected to represent. The future and prosperity of this great nation is far much greater than the political interests of any of our national leaders of today. Remember how the beauty of our Kenyan democracy gave this great nation the wonderful blessing of the revolutionary National Rainbow Coalition (NARC) government in 2002 which introduced free primary education that has so far benefited millions of young Kenyans.
Let's hope and pray that our economy shall recover and grow better than it is now. Thousands of jobs have already been lost and billions of economic revenue lost over the past two years that Kenya has been going through endless politicking. This has to come to an end and we all move forward with our lives. We can't continue being a nation in a perpetual political quagmire.
Appreciating Diversity
Our ethnic, religious and racial diversity is a blessing which we should appreciate. We must realize the huge potentials of this great nation. Kenya should have economically been competing in the class of G20 and G8.
Let's focus on building this great nation for our next generations. None of us has a guaranteed permit to exist in this world forever. We all have a chance to live once. We should be striving to contribute towards our nation for the overall betterment of all of us.
Beware that, if Kenya burns, we all stand to lose. Let's learn to defend our neighbors and protect their businesses from any risk.
I also expect the police and the security agencies to do their work. It will be prudent for the security agencies to work without hurting innocent Kenyan. The security officers of the nation have a responsibility to protect the lives and properties of all Kenyans. Because If Kenya Burns, We All Stand To Lose!
What am I doing about peace in Kenya?
I have always focused on standing for the best interests of this nation. Peace and cohesion is a major part of Kenya's journey to progress and prosperity. I'm making efforts to contribute towards peace-building. My hope is to integrate communities in my home county, Mandera.

Achieving better balance in communities
07 Mar 2019 |Written by Natalie Thorpe
"Our biggest achievement as Voicebox Cafés is empowering women to have a voice. These are women that came to us who would whisper because they were too embarrassed to speak in a class and yesterday some of them stood up and debated passionately. They weren't frightened. Those moments do make me feel proud that what we've started is actually meeting the needs of the community and making a real change in these individuals' lives."
Yasmin Akhtar, Voicebox Cafés Tutor
The theme for International Women's Day 2019 was Better the balance, better the world - a theme which recognises that building a better gender balance is essential for economies and communities to thrive. Here at Good Things Foundation we couldn't agree more with that sentiment. Re-balancing things to make society fair for everyone is threaded throughout all of our work in social digital inclusion, and never more so than in our Voicebox Cafés project.
Over 8 months in 2018, the Voicebox Cafés project supported 1,283 women to use their voice to better participate in democracy and public life, often in very different ways: some registered to vote for the first time, some started local campaigns, some even stood as candidates in community elections.
Voicebox Cafés brought the idea of civic participation to life through activities that everyone could get involved with, through holding mock ballots, writing simple manifestos, learning how to contact their local MPs and councillors to talk about issues important to them, and hearing inspirational women sharing their stories. Ultimately the Cafés helped to increase confidence and encouraged women to use their voice in a way that made a difference to themselves and their communities.
Since the end of the project we've been collecting stories of the women involved, evaluating the programme to see what worked in growing democratic participation in communities and thinking about how we can build on these learnings.
The resulting evaluation report is a great read - it shows not only the numbers of women supported but the very real impact that the project has had on their lives.
"We feel stronger when we learn about the world and what's happening in the country where we live. We need to know what is happening, about the rules etc."
Ummulbanin, 22
The Voicebox Cafes project finished with a bang and a celebration event at the House of Lords last December. We were sad to reach the end, but this brilliant event was a chance to celebrate the centenary of The Representation of the People Act in 1918 and to hear about the inspiring stories and achievements of women across all 36 Voicebox Cafes 100 years later.
"Now I read the news or watch the news on TV. I know more about what is happening in the UK; before I didn't care about this."
Lina, 27
On International Womens' Day 2019, we're mindful that there's still lots to do to encourage better balance in civic participation and democratic representation both locally and nationally. Communities up and down the country can often be disengaged with politics, whether this is through a lack of understanding, education or knowledge on how individuals can get involved and make their voice heard. Feeling far from Westminster, it can sometimes be difficult to see and understand how to make a difference in their own communities.
The Voicebox Cafés have proved a great success and here at Good Things Foundation we're keen to grow our ambition to support people to fully participate in democracy. We hope to secure further opportunities to expand the reach and impact of the Voicebox Cafés model, and we welcome conversations with anyone to help us amplify more voices in democracy in the UK.
Let's all help create a #BalanceforBetter and make sure that everyone's voice is heard.

According to McAfee Inc., hackers have targeted more than 70 entities over the past five years.
The firm believes it could be the largest coordinated attack ever launched.
McAfee says one of the victims was a county government in /*Southern California*/.
The types of organizations targeted indicate the attacks were likely state-sponsored, according to the firm.
"Like the World Anti-doping [Agency], that's not a target that you could attack to gain any economic benefit from it. So that's one of the points that makes us believe that it's really a state-sponsored attack," said Toralv Dirro, security strategist with McAfee.
McAfee isn't identifying which country could be behind the attacks.
The report is short on specifics, as the security firm is not naming most of the victims, nor is it stating exactly what data were stolen. Most of the victims are in the U.S. Other victims were in Canada, South Korea, Taiwan, Japan and nine other countries.

text: Social Justice Ohio executions halted for one year after lethal injection drug shortage By Connor Perrett Posted on October 27, 2015 7 min read 0 0 820 Photo courtesy Ken Piorkowski via Flickr. The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction announced Oct. 19 that all executions scheduled in 2016 will be delayed until 2017 because of a shortage in the drugs needed to perform the executions. In a press release, the DRC said the shortage in the required drugs would cause the delay of the execution of 12 inmates currently on death row in the state. "The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (DRC) continues to seek all legal means to obtain the drugs necessary to carry out court ordered executions, but over the past few years it has become exceedingly difficult to secure those drugs because of severe supply and distribution restrictions," the press release said. "The new dates are designed to provide DRC additional time necessary to secure the required execution drugs." Ohio has not carried out any court-ordered executions since Jan. 16, 2014, when it executed Dennis McGuire. McGuire, convicted in the 1989 murder of a 22-year-old pregnant woman, was sentenced to death by a jury in 1994. His 2014 execution was highly controversial as witnesses said McGuire gasped, choked and struggled against his restraints for 10 minutes before succumbing to the lethal combination of midazolam and hydromorphone. After his execution, the remainder of 2014 executions were delayed until 2015. The DRC denies McGuire felt any pain during his execution. Kevin Werner, executive director of Ohioans to Stop Executions, said the state made an irresponsible choice in using that combination of drugs to execute McGuire. "The fact of the matter is, Ohio chose to do something that they knew would invite problems," Werner said. "What it comes down to is how far Ohio is willing to go to carry out executions. Are they willing to try a sort of experiment on people?" Ohio State Sen. John Eklund, R-Portage, a supporter of the death penalty and chairman of the senate's criminal justice committee, said that although death should not intentionally be made to be unpleasant for those who receive the ultimate sentence, the nature of an execution is unpleasant. "I don't mean to suggest that two wrongs make a right, but putting someone to death is an unpleasant exercise, and again, to suggest that there is a way to make it pleasant under any circumstance 100 percent of the time is unrealistic," Eklund said. Ohio has considered importing another drug, sodium thiopental, from sources outside of the U.S. for executions. But in a letter from the FDA obtained by Buzzfeed in August, state prisons were warned that doing so would be illegal because the drug is neither approved by the FDA nor available for purchase in the U.S. In lieu of drugs that have been hard to acquire, some have suggested that the state move to other more traditional methods of execution, something other states have already done. In March of 2015, the state of Utah enacted legislation that allowed the use of a firing squad if needed lethal injection drugs are unavailable. "I think there are many options available to the state of Ohio, many of which have passed muster through the court system as not being cruel and unusual," Eklund said. "I think that is part of the work of this committee that we have formed to examine all of those options and make some considered judgments." The committee Eklund references is one that he says was created last year and is currently examining the methods and means by which the death sentence is carried out to ensure that executions are humane and as without flaw as possible. Werner, however, worries that reintroducing methods of execution, like the electric chair or firing squad, would have unintended consequences that lawmakers simply do not consider. "It has an impact on state employees who, in a hypothetical situation, would have to strap somebody to an electric chair and electrocute them," Werner said. "I worry about the long term psychological effects of what we're asking those folks to do." If all goes to current plan, the next inmate scheduled to be executed is Ronald R. Phillips on Jan. 12, 2017. It remains to be seen, however, how exactly the state will carry that execution out.

The world's most popular online forum reddit announced Wednesday a new crowdfunding platform, the Redditmade, a new competitor to the likes of Kickstarter and Indiegogo. According to Reddit, the home-grown platform is designed to help its users raise funds to bring their campaigns to fruition.
"Redditmade gives you the flexibility to create almost anything you want, easily raise money, and support causes you care about," the site's introductory post said. "It's also a great way for others to find awesome new products they'll love and support other redditors while knowing their information and money will always be secure."
The new site, which launched in Beta mode, has already found many campaigns. Most of the campaigns featured on Redditmade include T-shirts with different subreddits' alien logos or jokes printed on them. Like all crowdfunding platforms, Redditmade requires users to submit a project design or an idea, set a funding goal and bring in people's funding to reach the target within a 30-day time limit on campaigns. Once the projected goal attained, the money will be transferred to the creator of the project and if the project doesn't achieve its goal, the backers will not be charged.
Privacy controls are also a prominent feature on the hugely popular site. People pledging to Redditmade campaigns will not have to disclose personal details, except payment information and shipping details if it is a physical product.
"The profit of each campaign can be donated to any organization, charity, event, or individual, so your money can support other redditors or the causes that matter most to you," the site said. "We provide a secure way to raise funds and make it easy to pledge your payment, but we won't charge you until the campaign reaches its goal. If it does, hooray! We'll start production and send you your product soon. If it doesn't, you won't be charged a penny. Campaign creators will never have access to any of your personal information, ever."
The social news site is massive and has over 5 billion monthly page views and 115 million unique visitors each month. The site has more than 8,000 active subreddits which makes its jump into crowdfunding a significant one.
Additionally Redditmade is also associated with charity. Moderators can choose to donate the profits from their campaign to charity that means that if a project is over-funded, a good home is found for the extra cash raised.

Marketing is an absolute necessity for attracting new patients to your physical therapy practice, and it's important for retaining existing patients, too. There are so many different ways to market your physical therapy practice, it's OK to admit if you're a bit overwhelmed. Between traditional marketing and digital marketing strategies, the possibilities are endless when it comes to ways you can reach your audience.
If you've been in business for a while, hopefully you're already marketing your business. If you're not, perhaps you're surviving off referrals from existing patients and physicians. That's great and all but it's definitely not sustainable.
First and foremost, you should be reaching your audience where they are – meaning you should be marketing to them in person, at physician offices and online. Emphasis on "online." Your patients are likely looking for you on social media and on search engines, so make sure you're visible to them there.
Most importantly, what is your message to these potential patients? What are you conveying in your marketing efforts that will make these patients come to you?
One guess would be that you're telling people how great your PT practice is, and that you're the experts. Perhaps that's true, however, your patients – frankly – don't care. You can put "Best Physical Therapy Services in Town" or "New patients welcome! Experience our expert care!" all over your marketing materials and advertisements, but that's not what is going to get new patients on your schedule.
Marketing has changed because consumers have changed
Today's consumers are practically immune to ads and marketing messages because we are constantly bombarded by them. The typical physical therapy marketing doesn't cut through the chaos for anyone, no matter their age.
So how do you stand out and attract new patients to your PT practice?
The answer is: by offering value. It's all about changing the message you use in your marketing. Rather than talking about how great you are – show your patients what value they will receive from your services.
Let's look at an example. Say you want to create a Facebook ad about your fall prevention services. Here are two options:
Example #1
Example #2
Try to put yourself in your patient's shoes. Which ad would you click on? If you're someone who has experienced a fall or has a fear of falling, you're more likely to choose Example #2 because the ad offers something you want: confidence.
You may offer the best fall prevention services in your community, but your patients don't know that, and you haven't earned their trust yet. You need to offer them something they want and need – and prove to them you're the best later.
Every time you market your PT practice, you should establish your message by sitting down and putting yourself in your patients' shoes. Think to yourself (as a patient) "What's in it for me?" Then tailor your message around that. If you offer your patients value, you're sure to see a bigger ROI in your marketing efforts.

Direct Mail In Spanish

- Comments Off on Direct Mail In Spanish
¿Do consumers in your targeted territory habla ESPAÑOL?
Don't eliminate potential customers because of language barriers! Through our call tracking services and feedback from clients, we have learned that responders to marketing materials are frequently Spanish speaking. Our marketing materials have all been designed to make a connection with readers. If a recipient of your mail primarily speaks Spanish, they should receive direct mail in Spanish in order to connect and begin to build a relationship. In order to achieve this goal we have translated two of our most popular pieces into Spanish.
Here's how direct mail in Spanish works:
-We build mailing lists based around criteria "selects". Other selects include age, gender, income, location, and other demographics. When you opt for direct mail in Spanish, we add a language select, so your mailing list will identify whether a lead speaks English or Spanish.
-When we produce your direct mail, this list will automatically trigger the appropriate version to print, depending on the consumer's primary language.
Take a look below at the two pieces that have been translated. These two have been selected because of their welcoming messages and soft sales approach result in consistently high response rates. They build relationships, and were the obvious choice to being our Spanish program. If you'd like to see a full-sized sample, contact us today!


text: Hello, I would like to clarify whether it is normal that my video card (RX580 Gigabyte 4GB) in games heats up to a temperature of 71-76 (C) degrees Celsius at 2450-2700 (RPM), while setting (mod) Chill from Radeon is enabled so that the video card consumes less power and therefore less heated, plus restrictions on maintaining the temperature of the video card in the region of 70 (C): WattMan-> Temperature-> Power Limit-> (-20%). If you remove the Chill mode and the temperature limiter, then the video card starts to make more noise and warm up. At the same time, in the reviews and forums, with the same graphics settings in games and identical configurations, this video card warmed up to 64-68 (C) degrees Celsius at 1400-1600 (RPM). In games, there are also noticeable friezes and twitches. The card works about 1.5 years. Why such high temperatures at high speed coolers? What should I do and how to eliminate it (what is the problem)?

[3.7] Shock Nova EB MoM Inquisitor: Shockingly Fast, Powerful & Tanky
Want to zig when others zag? Here's a solid spell build you could try out for the melee league.
Let me introduce you to the newly buffed Shock Nova Inquisitor.
Path of Building
A few things to note about (un)checked boxes and the build's mechanics:
A Quick Overview w/ Pros & Cons:
Build Details:
My suggestions for uniques:
All these can be replaced with life/res/es/dmg/crit rares if you want!
Berek's Grip: Actually this is the one unique you absolutely need because you're not leeching much without it. Fortunately it costs pennies.
The Devouring Diadem: Free EB (4-node travel in my tree), near-continuous ES recharge, reduced mana reservation effectively gets you another aura, +1 gem level so you can get by with a lvl 2 Enlighten. Feast of Flesh can be useful while mapping.
Hale Negator: Requires you to take EB on the tree and lose 1-2 sockets for abyss jewels.
Nice anti-one-shot recovery mechanic for HC.
Soul Tether: Overleech and a good chunk of ES, but comes with a degen and you can't regen or recharge ES.
Inpulsa's Broken Heart: Shock explosions are huge for QoL. Corpse removal is great for survivability.
Carcass Jack: Cheaper than Inpulsa, +3-4 AoE and more life.
Doryani's Delusion (lightning): Hefty chunks of life, ES, damage and MS. Disable the aura.
Atziri's Step: Spell dodge. Neat!
Light of Lunaris: A shield that pairs nicely with Rumi's Concoction.
All these can be replaced with regular utility flasks if you want!
Keep in mind Inquisitor's elemental ailment immunity, though.
Rumi's Concoction: A flask that pairs nicely with Light of Lunaris.
Cinderswallow Urn: The crit variant is a nice mix of damage, recovery and utility. To activate the ignite benefits you need to have some fire damage, e.g. from an abyss jewel.
The Wise Oak: Damage plus elemental mitigation.
Atziri's Promise: A bit less damage plus chaos res.
Luxury options:
Watcher's Eye: "Consecrated Ground you create while affected by Zealotry causes enemies to take (8-10)% increased Damage" and/or "(10-15)% increased Cast Speed while affected by Zealotry"
Bottled Faith (Not in 3.7!): Big boy damage.
Headhunter: For making your buds jelly.
Berek's Grip, Inpulsa and The Devouring Diadem are priority.
See PoB for all the recommended gems and links! A few quick notes:
Intensify is basically Inc AoE when you've moved recently, and Conc Effect when you stay still and repeatedly cast. At best you get both the AoE for mapping and the damage for bossing when needed.
Swap in Conc Effect for Light Pen for bossing, and vice versa for mapping.
You can throw an Inc AoE in there somewhere for an even bigger nova to help you clear.
Stay away from Elemental Focus besides potentially utilizing it for leveling.
However it can be more DPS against Shaper and Red Elder if you're really lacking in damage and can't apply a shock high enough to out-DPS Elem Focus with another support gem plus shock.
In general though, losing shock all but kills the build.
You're using Storm Brand for utility. Possible links include Arcane Surge, Culling Strike, Power Charge On Crit, Blind, Innervate, Faster Casting and Onslaught.
Whirling Blades is my go-to travel skill but use whatever you prefer, just remember the weapon restrictions for these skills. In the case of Flame Dash, link it with Arcane Surge and take it off from Storm Brand.
I would recommend Phase Running as your primary method of movement. Use travel skills mainly for dodging and triggering Fortify or Arcane Surge.
You can use Wrath instead of Zealotry if you want a tiny bit more DPS and don't think creating more Consecrated Ground is important. Watcher's Eye mods are obviously different too which allows for some more tinkering.
Low lvl CWDT links can include Wave of Conviction, Tempest Shield, Cold Snap, or a golem of your choice.
Steelskin and IC need a lvl 20 CWDT to be effective.
Ascendancy, Bandits & Pantheon
1. Sanctuary: To get our regens rolling. And damage.
2. Pious Path: Elemental ailment immunity is one of the best parts of the Inquisitor.
More damage.
3. Instruments of Virtue: Don't take this if you're not using Whirling Blades, Leap Slam or Shield Charge! Take Augury or Righteous instead.
If you are though... boy are you in for some pure, unadulterated damage.
4. Augury of Penitence: Elemental damage mitigation scales well with the enormous pool of eHP (and "Nearby" in this case means 60 radius which is more than enough).
You can take Righteous Providence instead if you prefer a bit more damage to the mitigation.
Did I mention that there's damage?
Passives or Alira, depending on your tree. I took the passives.
However I like Alira especially in HC for the early all res.
Major god: Brine to not get stun-locked.
Minor god: Garukhan looks alright. These really don't matter that much.
Ryslatha and Ralakesh are good for lab.
Leveling & Skill Trees
There's no use in reinventing the wheel, so here's a fine resource for leveling this build:
The general gist of it is that you'll be using Storm Brand to get Onslaught, Power Charges, Innvervate etc. and Shock Nova/Arc/Lightning Trap/Blade Vortex/whatever as your main skill.
Obviously use a skill that you feel the most comfortable with, be it Sunder or anything else.
Use Clarity if you're running into mana problems before taking EB and MoM.
Warlord's Mark is useless for spellcasters as of 3.7.
Some solid (trade)league start uniques you could find useful: Tabula (farm Humility divs at the The Blood Aqueduct), Berek's Grip, Singularity, Winterheart & Skullhead.
Skill Trees:
Low Level Tree
Final Tree
Don't take EB or MoM until you have enough regen, leech and ES! I'd recommend waiting at least until you have Pious Path, and only take EB then leaving MoM for later.
ES nodes probably aren't worth it until you have some gear and are ready to take EB and MoM. Optimally your ES should be about 43% of your life to best withstand one-shots.
If you're not using a lightning skill for leveling, don't take the lightning nodes. Same goes with AoE nodes.
For now just a placeholder. Maybe a section for FAQ?
Final Words
Thank you for your interest in my guide! The build is by no means set in stone and there are plenty of options to modify it to your liking.
Feel free to ask any questions, but please check if they've already been answered above.
Have a good one,

Looks good. Loved novasorc! Will run this with managuardian in HC as starter. Thanks!
So happy to hear you might've found the guide useful. I'll be roleplaying as a nova sorc as well :)
Lemme know how it ultimately pans out.
3.7 is a buff or nerf shock nova? i never play that gem
Shock Nova got massively buffed in Synthesis and will be buffed again in Legion.
Added a bunch of things and improved readability. Any suggestions and comments are welcome!
Played this on a trickster in 3.6. Massive amounts of fun. I believe I'll revisit it when I can afford an Inpulsa here.
I played with Lightning Warp using two Singularities and I've gotta say - the amounts of damage you get for 2c is astounding. You might be losing too much survivability on an inquis for that, though. Are you using a well rolled rare in stead?
is this uber elder viable ?

Does anyone have a video of what this playstyle looks like?
