Tesla blames production shortfall of 100 kWh battery packs for lagging Q2 deliveries; says problem fixed; first Model 3s to be delivered 28 July
03 July 2017
Tesla reported delivering just over 22,000 vehicles in Q2, of which just over 12,000 were Model S and just over 10,000 were Model X. While the Q2 2017 deliveries represent a 53% increase over Q2 2016, the figure is at the low-end of Tesla's earlier guidance, and down about 12% from Q1 2017 deliveries. Total vehicle deliveries in the first half of 2017 were approximately 47,100.
Tesla said that the major factor affecting Q2 deliveries was a severe production shortfall of 100 kWh battery packs, which are made using new technologies on new production lines. Until early June, production averaged about 40% below demand. Once this was resolved, June orders and deliveries were strong, ranking as one of the best in its history, Tesla said.
Provided global economic conditions do not worsen considerably, Tesla remains confident that combined deliveries of Model S and Model X in the second half of 2017 will likely exceed deliveries in the first half of 2017.
Q2 production totaled 25,708 vehicles, bringing first half 2017 production to 51,126.
Tesla also announced that the first certified production Model 3 that meets all regulatory requirements will be completed this week, with a handover of ~30 customer cars at our Fremont factory on 28 July.
Tesla only counts a car as delivered if it is transferred to the customer and all paperwork is correct. Final numbers could vary by up to 0.5%.

We need to remove this rule from 61-option-modem-modeswitch.rules:
ATTRS{idVendor}=="19d2", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2000", RUN+="modem-modeswitch -v 0x%s{idVendor} -p 0x%s{idProduct} -t option-zerocd"
That rule does not work for all ZTE devices (and specifically doesn't work with my MF626) and sends the device into an uncommunicative state where it cannot be switched to modem mode. Again, this file is only for Option NV devices, which ZTE devices clearly are not. Users need to use usb_modeswitch for any devices that aren't Option NV devices.
Normally on these ZTE devices a simple "eject /dev/sr1" works, but this udev rule prevents that simple eject from working. Or usb_modeswitch could be used.

This vintage rose wood storage chest has a drawer at the bottom, it has been upcycled and hand painted with various lotus motifs all over. Its high enough to be used as a coffee table.
At Design5 Studio, I restore, repurpose and handpaint vintage wooden furniture pieces, picked out of various flea markets & junkyards which are my frequent hangouts. I am always on the lookout for discarded pieces that seem to be hiding a story under layers of dirt and neglect. Bringing old, worn out wooden vintage furniture pieces back to life brings an enormous amount of creative satisfaction to my heart. I repair, upcycle and handpaint these vintage furniture pieces myself. I don't want to hide the character of the piece by priming and sanding because I'm not trying to make it look new when it's not. I feel it keeps the story of the piece authentic. These pieces become canvases for my 'Functional Art'.
Being a restored product, it shows grain variation, so each Design5 product is slightly different. Design5 keeps its sustainability promise by minimising its carbon footprint by using clean recycled packing material and planting a tree for every wooden product sold.

The new, $US500 Xbox One X is the most powerful home video game console ever made. With its beefy internals, the Xbox One X is more powerful than most home computers. It can power 4K and HDR gaming — the next major graphical step up after HD.
It's also the most expensive home game console ever made, only matched in price by the original Xbox One (which came with an expensive Kinect peripheral) and the original PlayStation 3.
It's not just you: $649 is a tremendously high asking price for a game console in 2017. The Nintendo Switch, which launched earlier this year, costs $470. The next best version of the Xbox One, the "S" model, costs $449. Even Sony's PlayStation 4 "Pro" model, which touts the ability to produce 4K and HDR games, costs $90 less than the Xbox One X at $560.
In short, it's a hard sell.
Whether it's worth your money is a more complicated question. Do you have an Xbox One already? Do you own a 4K/HDR-capable television? Do you consider $649 to be a major expense?
For me, however, it simply isn't. Here's why.
Get the latest Microsoft stock price here.
I bought a 4K/HDR television about a month ago now. It was A Big Deal™, officially.
I read up on TVs at my favourite review-focused publications, like CNET and The Wirecutter. I spoke with my colleagues who know more about displays than I do (thanks Tony and Jeff!). I went back and forth over whether to wait for OLED TV prices to come down. I watched a bunch of videos on YouTube.
In the end, I went with the TCL P-series you see above. It's Wirecutter's highest-rated TV period. 'It's the best value we have ever seen in a TV,' Wirecutter's Chris Heinonen said. 'It produces images with more detail, brightness, and colour than most TVs that cost hundreds more. Even when viewed side-by-side with TVs that cost 250 per cent more, our viewing panel picked the TCL.'
All of which is to say two things:
1. The TV I am using with the Xbox One X is high quality, highly rated, and tuned (yes, I did that too) specifically for 4K/HDR. I went from a 720p, 42-inch Vizio HD TV to this.
2. I probably spent too much time being neurotic about buying a TV, and should have just trusted the Wirecutter suggestion from the start.
If you're wondering what the Xbox One X looks like on a $5,500 Samsung OLED 4K TV, assuredly one of the excellent publications mentioned above can help you out. I'm the average consumer, and even then I kinda splashed out for this TV.
Microsoft included a copy of 'Planet Earth 2,' a documentary I assumed was about the sequel to the planet we live on, but is actually just about regular old Earth 1.
Hilarious jokes aside, 'Planet Earth 2' is considered a 4K/HDR showcase title. It's an 'Ultra HD' Blu-ray used to demonstrate how dazzling this new, higher-resolution video format can be on the right set. It sets a standard for expectations of fidelity, in so many words, and I used it as such.
'Planet Earth 2' is also a delightfully charming British documentary that doubles as a highlights reel of nature's craziest s--t. As both an animal lover and a person who loves to be dazzled, I can indeed confirm that 'Planet Earth 2' serves as a visual showcase. It is ridiculously impressive, because of how dazzling the image quality and range is in addition to the absurdity of its content. But this isn't a review of 'Planet Earth 2' (if it were, I would totally suggest you check it out).
The Xbox One X is specifically intended to power 4K and HDR gaming. The ability to play 4K/HDR Blu-ray discs like 'Planet Earth 2' is something that the standard Xbox One S is capable of, and it costs just $449.
Two games that really stand out on the Xbox One X are 'Gears of War 4' and 'Forza Motorsport 7.' Both have full 4K / HDR support, and both look excellent as a result.
More than just very pretty games, they look noticeably different on the Xbox One X -- they look more like high-end PC games than home game console games. If you're looking for something to show off the new Xbox One X and your 4K/HDR TV, these are the games to do it with.
But that's just two big games, one of which is a racing simulation and the other is a year-old shooter. If you already played 'Gears of War 4,' and you're not a hardcore racing fan, there isn't much to play at launch.
To be all the way clear: There is no 'big launch game' for the Xbox One X.
OF NOTE: When games are updated with 4K visuals, they sometimes swell in size to over 100GB. 'Gears of War 4,' 'Forza Motorsport 7,' and 'Halo 5: Guardians' come in at over 100GB apiece. Apiece! That's absolutely gigantic, to be clear -- significantly larger than the largest games.
The biggest problem with the Xbox One X is that it doesn't feel like a brand-new console in 2017, let alone one that costs $649. It operates almost identically to the Xbox One I normally use -- a near-launch model from 2013.
That's an intended feature.
The Xbox One X is capable of playing the same games that the Xbox One from 2013 and the Xbox One S from 2016 can play. Think of the original Xbox One as the baseline for horsepower and functionality; with each subsequent Xbox console as a step up in horsepower, it still must maintain parity with the original console from 2013.
As such, the standard operating system -- a version of Windows 10 made for Xbox One -- is as sluggish and poorly organised as ever on the Xbox One X. A recent update made it operate somewhat more smoothly, but it's downright weird that the OS doesn't feel snappier on a far more powerful piece of hardware.
Imagine you bought the iPhone X and it felt like using an iPhone 6. That would be pretty weird! That's what I'm talking about here.
The big difference from previous Xbox One consoles is the X's ability to play games and movies in 'native' 4K/HDR. The console doesn't just bump up the resolution (stretching the image) -- it outright produces a higher resolution image, known as 'native' 4K. It accomplishes this, but the list of titles it supports right now is short.
It's not as though every game you play looks dramatically better -- Microsoft actually has a three-tiered set of specifications for variously 'Xbox One X Enhanced' games.
(image url='http://static.businessinsider.com/image/5a00d8234d05ac0b3b8b6a7c/image.jpg' alt='Xbox One X' link='lightbox' size='primary' align='center' nocrop='false' clear='true')
As you might expect, many of Microsoft's own games -- like 'Gears of War 4' and 'Forza Motorsport 7' -- are fully supported with the full upgrade treatment.
Still, many games still have no support, while others are only listed as 'coming soon' for upgrades. To be clear, that means unsupported games will look nearly the same on an Xbox One X as they will on an Xbox One S (which costs $200 less) -- and most games aren't supported.
There are some general improvements that any game running on the Xbox One X will get: Better framerates and faster load times, for instance. In my experience, that stuff hasn't been particularly noticeable. More specifically: That stuff hasn't been $649 worth of different.
I started this review by asking some questions:
-Do you have an Xbox One already?
-Do you own a 4K/HDR-capable television?
-Do you consider $649 to be a major expense?
Those aren't just questions -- they're caveats.
If you already own an Xbox One, you probably don't need to spent $649 on a new one. If you don't have a 4K/HDR TV, you probably don't need a $U649 Xbox One capable of powering 4K/HDR gaming. If you consider a $649 purchase to be exorbitant (most people!), you probably don't need this console.
That's the number one way I've answered people across the past few weeks who've asked about the Xbox One X -- with questions. If you don't own an Xbox One or you're looking to upgrade the one you've got, and you've got a 4K/HDR TV, and you're ok with spending an absurd amount of money on a home game console, then maybe the Xbox One X is for you. Maybe!
That's before you consider the fact that Sony offers a similarly capable PlayStation 4 'Pro' model for $560, and before you consider that Microsoft offers a highly capable Xbox One 'S' model for $449 that can produce pretty stunning visuals (4K and HDR, even).
The Xbox One X is a powerful little console that outpowers the competition, and it's excellent unto itself -- but it's overwhelmed by other options that are nearly as powerful and far less expensive.

Presented March 13, 2019 by Morgan Hill Mayor Rich Constantine at the City Council Chambers
Unedited version published on MorganHillLife.com on March 19, 2019
Good evening everyone. Thank you for being here. I would like to begin by recognizing my
colleagues, the other members of our City Council, please stand when I call your name:
• Councilmember Larry Carr
• Councilmember Yvonne Martinez Beltran
• And Councilmember John McKay
• Unfortunately, Mayor Pro Tem Rene Spring is traveling and could not join us tonight, but we
wish him safe travels.
Thank you for being here tonight and for all you do for Morgan Hill. Please give my colleagues a
round of applause.
I would also like to recognize our City Commissioners that are here. Thank you for being here and
for serving our Community in this important way.
Supervisor Wasserman was not able to be here this evening, but he sent his well wishes. Thank
you, Mike for your good work at the County of Santa Clara and for being an advocate for Morgan
Hill and all of South County
I would also like to recognize several other elected officials that are here this evening:
From Senator Monning's office:
From Assemblymember Rivas' office:
From our Morgan Hill Unified School District Board:
Thank you to all of you for your service to our community.
I want to recognize and ask you to join me in a special thank you to our past mayor, Steve Tate.
Mayor Tate dedicated 27 years of his life to serve our community, first as a Planning Commissioner,
then as a City Council member and finally as the Mayor of Morgan Hill over the last 12 years. We
cannot thank him enough for his many years of service and hard work for this community. Steve
left big shoes to fill and I'll do my best to honor his legacy.
I want to also welcome and thank the City teammates that are with us tonight and those that were
not able to make it. Morgan Hill is a clean, beautiful, and safe community because of your hard
work. Thank you.
Finally, and most importantly, I would like to acknowledge and thank my wife, Andrea, and my
daughter, Emma, for their support and patience. As you know, being an elected official requires
many hours away from home, so they, like the spouses and children of my colleagues on the City
Council, also contribute to the community by supporting us in our journey to serve Morgan Hill—for
that we thank you.
Great communities like Morgan Hill do not happen by chance. It takes good planning, vision, and
fortitude to achieve greatness. Morgan Hill would not be the same if we did not have the Centennial
Recreation Center, the Library, the Community and Cultural Center, the Dennis Kennedy Aquatics
Center, or our beautiful Downtown. I want to thank the many elected officials, the community
leaders, our City partners and the many, many volunteers that have made Morgan Hill what it is
Before running for mayor, I was a fire fighter for over 24 years, and I served on the City Council
since 2010. I ran for Mayor because I am proud of this community and I care deeply about public
service. I care about helping us move forward…for my daughter and for our next generations. I
know that we need to continue to ensure sustainable growth, while at the same time continuing to
advocate and provide for affordable housing. I believe we need to find ways to improve traffic, grow
jobs and improve our internet and telecommunication services. We need to preserve our city parks,
fix our roads, and continue to provide good service despite the rising costs.
The challenge is great but so is this community. This community has shown time and time again
how smart… progressive…. and solution-oriented it can be. Morgan Hill is the result of good
planning and smart growth. We have so much to celebrate and be proud of, including:
• 1 out of every 8 homes is income restricted
• Morgan Hill has the largest per capita affordable housing ownership program in the state
• Morgan Hill has preserved over 500 acres of open space
• We are the leader in Santa Clara County in farm land preservation
• We are a statewide leader in water conservation
Morgan Hill is known for our beautiful, safe, and friendly community and great city facilities.
But…Did you know, that Morgan Hill collects the least amount of taxes per person in the entire
County? Yes! It is remarkable that we can provide a highly desirable community at a lower cost
than any other city in Santa Clara County!
The City has been very thoughtful in the way we deliver services so that we have been able to
provide our residents more with less.
• We do this through innovative partnerships with organizations like the YMCA to provide
recreation services, or Cal Fire to provide fire safety and Silicon Valley Clean Energy to
provide energy resources alternatives.
• We do this through the generous support of community organizations and volunteers
• We do this through attracting the best and the brightest to work for Morgan Hill not because
we pay the most, but because we have a reputation of being innovative and team oriented.
Our Morgan Hill Police Department is running their service model on providing great quality of
service—with a goal of being the "Department of Choice." Our Economic Development team's
slogan for investors is "choose Morgan Hill". As you can see, we have a theme of pride and choice.
Our thoughtful planning has made us the community of choice in South County.
I am proud of the great strides we have made in our Downtown. When Redevelopment went away,
we had a short window to make some smart investments. And this community rose to the
challenge. With our $25 million dollars of public investment in a parking garage and other street and
infrastructure improvements, we were able to attract over $130 million in private investment. The
new Downtown parks have created a family-friendly environment, the construction of Depot
Commons on 3rd and Depot Street is near complete and will offer great tenants like Yoga Source;
the Sunsweet project is taking form, and new retailers like Luxe Bride Boutique, Kelly Brewing,
Realm Flower Company, Willard Hicks, Tac-Oh!, and Snowee Rolls have joined our Downtown. The
boutique hotel will begin construction in April and more retail space is coming to the successful
Granary building.
Our Downtown success is the result of thoughtful planning, and the proactive leadership of our
Planning Commission and City Council in their willingness to seize the opportunity. We have
applied this same approach to growing and attracting businesses in Morgan Hill. Our industrial
vacancy rate is between 1 and 3 percent, when only six years ago it was 19%. We have a clear
vision for Economic Development through our Economic Blueprint and it has helped us capture our
fair share of the market.
We have been able to support expansion of local companies such as Golden State Assembly,
Kettle Cuisine, and Shoe Palace. New companies like Omega GTI, an electronic components
distributor, Super Tech, a high-performance auto parts retailer, Digital Storm, a high-end gaming
equipment manufacturer, are moving their businesses to Morgan Hill.
And that is not all. Toeniskoetter Development, a local developer that is helping to bring two new
hotels into town, is also developing a new industrial building in the Madrone Business Park.
Trammel Crow, the developer that most recently worked on the Google campus in San Jose is
developing the property next to the DePaul Center.
This thoughtful planning is the result of endless hours of work by many of our residents that came
together to help us develop our General Plan, our Zoning Code, and other guiding documents such
as the Parks, Trails and Bikeways Master Plan, the Public Safety Master Plan, and the Economic
Blueprint. To continue to maintain our community's character and grow in a smart and sustainable
way, we must honor and implement these guiding documents that took hundreds of community
hours and represent the goals of our community.
We are also working closely with the County to make sure the De Paul Center is used for
healthcare services. Healthcare is important because it brings needed services to the community.
We need to have access to basic services and resources such as urgent care and imaging
services. This is part of our sustainable growth plan. A sustainable community is a community that
is planning for a mix of land uses that support the community like healthcare, jobs, housing, and
The other aspect of a sustainable community is being fiscally sustainable—that is a community that
has good financial planning and plans for the future cost of providing service. Morgan Hill is and has
been a good financial steward. We provide great service at the lowest cost of any other city in the
County. We have invested wisely and have a high financial rating to prove it. We have worked hard
to streamline permitting processes, to be more accessible and business friendly. With services like
TrackIt and Open Counter, our residents and businesses can access City Hall from the comfort of
their homes.
We have much to be proud of. But we also need to acknowledge we have some difficult decisions
to make and a tough reality ahead. There is a significant housing crisis facing California—every
community is dealing with the impacts of the housing crisis, either by dealing with an increased
homeless population or the lack of workforce to support local businesses. We are seeing both.
The State is overruling local control. The State wants communities to build their fair share of
housing and those that are not meeting their quotas are getting penalized. Developers have
increasing ways to build housing. Morgan Hill has been building its fair share of housing. We have
been growing at a 2 percent pace, and we are building more affordable housing per capita than
other communities.
We are doing our part to support housing. But the bar is getting higher and higher and we need to
meet it. We need to continue to implement smart and sustainable development that protects the
character of the community. This means being strategically urban and developing the housing
densities required in the appropriate places. This will require tough choices.
We need to continue to create jobs—all sorts of jobs and businesses. Businesses help our
community, either by generating revenue, bringing good paying jobs, or simply adding amenities to
our community. We need to welcome our businesses that contribute to the fiscal health of our
community. Bringing jobs to Morgan Hill will allow our residents to have choices to work right here.
This will help to alleviate traffic and improve congestion and air quality.
We have aging infrastructure that needs repair. We are asking the community to support a rate
increase for our wastewater system. This is not because we are growing too fast or adding
development, this is simply due to the regular wear and tear of our system overtime. Just like the
roof or the pipes in our own homes, these systems need to be replaced at some point. This is true
for our roads as well as our underground facilities. Our roads need upkeep and in some cases
replacement. The cost to replace the 129 miles of roadways in our community is more than we
collect in gas taxes or other revenues.
We also need funds to invest in our public safety resources. We need more police officers and
firefighters to support our community. We also need to find ways to support a new fire station and
the staffing for it in order to continue to provide the high level of service our community deserves
and expects.
The rising costs of retirement are requiring greater contributions to our City's retirement system. We
are sharing this burden with our employees. But these costs will continue to put pressure on our
long-term financial sustainability.
As you can see, we have significant work ahead of us. Our City Council recently had a two-day goal
setting workshop and fiscal sustainability was a theme for the entire two days. We are concerned
with protecting our quality of life and local land use control. We continue to be worried about the
potential impacts of the High-Speed Rail through our community and ensuring the redevelopment of
the DePaul Medical Center as a healthcare facility. To see in greater detail the City Council's 2019
and 2020 goals and priorities, I invite you to visit the City's website or we also have copies available
We continue to look for ways to reduce expenses and increase revenues. We carefully manage and
evaluate our staffing levels and today have lower staffing levels per capita than we had 10 years
ago. We recently approved two hotels that will contribute local transient occupancy tax. We worked
with the hotels to establish a Tourism Business Improvement District that will generate over
$400,000 to promote the area for tourism, and we are implementing a campaign to attract jobs and
companies to our community. Additionally, you the voters in Morgan Hill, approved an increase to
the transient occupancy tax in this past election. A tax that is paid by visitor who stay in our hotels.
Finally, we are embarking on a community outreach and education process we are calling "Engage
Morgan Hill" to discuss with you your priorities for funding and services. In order to meet the
challenges ahead we need to come together as a community, share ideas, educate ourselves, and
make informed decisions about how to move forward for a sustainable future. I invite you to be
engaged, learn the facts, share accurate information, and be part of the solution. We need you to
join the conversation on our long-term financial sustainability. In this age of social media, we can
easily be distracted by statements that are not accurate. It's important to know the facts and not get
lost in uninformed conversations. Each of us has a responsibility to stay informed and balance the
conversation. Please talk to Maureen Tobin, our Communications and Engagement Manager, to
learn more about how you can get involved. We invite you to be part of the decision-making
process. Join the Planning Commission or one of our other commissions. Let your voice be heard.
Help us lead this community.
I conclude this State of the City by sharing with you that I am very hopeful and energized about
Morgan Hill's future. We have challenges ahead. But this community has shown resiliency and
thoughtfulness in the past and I trust we will unite to continue to maintain our clean, beautiful, and
thriving community. I look forward to working with you and my colleagues as one team with the
same purpose and goal—to choose Morgan Hill.

Happy…happy Sunday – WOW, it is a HOT weekend on the East Coast. Please remind me, when the calendar says September, doesn't that mean cooler days and chilly nights? I have had 1 good "hair day" since Spring and I really count on low humidity to have just a couple of good "hair days"
Well my friends, here you go – the stepped up version from yesterday so it is up to you….SIDE by SIDE, you decide? I honestly had NO IDEA where I was going to go with yesterdays card (as I really liked it) but I will say, I LOVE this one!
I know that it is hard to use DSP in a Big and Bold way but I hope that this encouraged you to say, hmmmmm….I should try this! Why not say to yourself ~ try it, I might like it! The other thing that I did differently today was that I popped up both, the mat (DSP piece) as well as the sentiment!
On a side note, I took it to the Post Office to see….and yep – it goes with a regular stamp!
I told you yesterday that I was going to share with you how I made the "texture feel" of the leaves etc….and are you ready – it is SUPER HARD….but I know that you can do it and when you do it, please think of me! Just simply go to town and ball it up….flatten it out…..ball it up – do what ever your little heart desires…..just work the fibers and you are good to go!
Did you notice that today I took another "frame" from the Tags & Labels Framelits and twisted it to add some interest! When you feel like you need a "wee bit more", try a simple trick like this. It just makes your eye focus on the sentiment.
Because I already had adhesive on the back, I thought – add some linen thread – this will ad som "home feel and softness" To me, a little added touch like this makes a card step up to a new level!
One more look before you get to the scoop of the dimensions. I think that this is a beautiful and special card. As I shared with you yesterday, I needed a card to send to someone and yep – I am sending her today's card! Do you have a favorite?
I know that this is what you love, the dimensions on how to make the card! Here you go, Please feel free to email me if you need further help or have any questions! This layout can be used for so many sentiments that we have and the other bonus, it is a great way to USE UP THAT DSP that we all seem to have – I know, I know…..it is super pretty to look at but we bought it to use it – SO USE IT UP!!!!! 🙂
- Card Base is Very Vanilla 4 1/4 X 5 1/2
- The mat that you will "build on" is 4″ X 5 1/4″
- The DSP to the left is 3″ X 4″
- The DSP to the right is 2 1/4″ X 4″
- The strip of paper is just 1/4″ wide
There you go – that is the simple "FORMULA" for this card now go find a stamp set and CASE IT so you can see 1st hand how easy and rewarding this layout is!
Enjoy the day and please remember to subscribe to my blog so you do not miss a post that I do! I havn't said this for a while so please, it is sooooo easy – click that subscribe and enter your email and POOF – Susan will be ready for you and your coffee!!!!
Guess what I am doing today? I am making all of those adorable easel cards for those that placed and order with me in August….they will go out tomorrow so for you "smart shoppers" – get ready to receive it this week!
Please do not forget that if you click at the top of the post (under the header) to Paw Print Reward, you will see the generous rewards program that I offer and also you will see the feature card that I will be making for September! I think that it is super cute!
Thanks for your time in popping in….I hope that it inspired you and I hope that you learned something….now go find some "me time" and CASE AWAY!

Here's a blatant reality many well-meaning digital marketers are unaware of:
Content alone will do nothing to improve your marketing results.
Pushing out content with no direction, no strategy, no purpose, no goals, and no targeted audience will just end up wasting time and money – even if your content is beyond incredible!
Content needs a digital content strategy behind it to truly have an impact on your audience, bottom line, and web presence. Without that solid foundation, your blog posts, articles, ebooks, web pages, guest blogs, and more will go to waste.
The numbers don't lie. A digital content strategy is essential to any content marketing endeavor. It's what differentiates the successful from the unsuccessful.
Now that you understand that a digital content strategy is 1000% necessary, let's dig into a clear definition of what it entails. Then we'll jump straight to a master plan for building your own profitable digital content strategy. Ready?
The 6-Step Master Plan to Building a Profitable Digital Content Strategy
1. Understand the Key Fundamentals and Foundations of Digital Content Strategy
- Know Your Content Goals
- Know Your Content Differentiation Factor (CDF)
- Know Your Topic Area(s)
2. Understand Your Audience
- Do Audience Research
- Create Audience Personas for Your Content Strategy
3. Know How SEO Fits into a Digital Content Strategy
- Research Targeted Keywords Your Ideal Buyer Is Searching
4. Build and Solidify Your Online Authority
5. Create Content the Right Way
- Optimize Your Content with Keywords
- Find a Workflow that Works
- Map Your Audience Persona to the Marketing Lifecycle
- Map Content Topics to Your Content Goals
- Guest Blog Strategically
6. Set a Budget, Promote Your Published Pieces, and Maintain Momentum
- Budget for Your Major Content Activities
- Promote Your Content
- Maintain Your Digital Content Strategy
What Is a Digital Content Strategy? & What Is It Worth?
The simplest way to think of a digital content strategy is to imagine it as the engine of a car.
The car represents your content marketing. The engine that drives your content marketing is the digital content strategy.
It gives it a purpose and a way to reach ROI. The strategy moves your content marketing forward, pushing it in the right direction.
Without a strategy, your content will remain stuck in the mud. And you'll end up with a ton of unwanted facepalm moments.
Image via GIPHY
The digital content strategy is also a lot like a map. It tells you the direction to take your content to best appeal to your ideal audience, so you always know how to get to ROI. This includes:
- Where to publish content
- How often to publish
- Where to share/promote/distribute it
- The style/voice to use in your content
- The audience niche you're writing to
- Your content budget
- Your topic areas and target keywords
- And more!
Marketers who forge ahead without a strategy are literally traveling without a map. It's no wonder they end up lost more often than not.
This is what the numbers say about using a digital content strategy for your content marketing:
- Without a strategy, you're paddling upstream. According to a 2017 survey from Zazzle Media, 60% of marketers found producing consistent content difficult to do.
- Another 60% said they didn't know how to measure content ROI.
- Via CMI's 2019 B2B report, 65% of the most successful content marketers have a documented digital content strategy in place. Another 32% have an undocumented strategy.
- That means a whopping 97% of the most successful marketers have some kind of strategy backing up their content!
Some of the benefits of a documented digital content strategy, according to CMI's report:
- It aligns your team around your mission/goals.
- It helps you figure out which types of content to develop.
- It keeps your team focused on priorities.
- It helps you allocate resources for better results.
- It clarifies your target audience(s).
And of course… it helps you actually measure and see PROFITS and growth.
The 6 Essential Steps to Build a Digital Content Strategy
How do you build a digital content strategy that gets results? There are 6 steps to putting all the pieces of this framework in place.
Psst – I teach a 6-week course that covers all of these steps, with personal mentoring and support. Learn more here!
1. Understand the Key Fundamentals and Foundations of Digital Content Strategy
You can't start building your digital content strategy without these key fundamentals.
A. Know Your Content Goals
What do you hope to gain from content marketing? These are your content goals, and they should drive your entire content strategy. Identify goals first before you do anything else.
B. Know Your Content Differentiation Factor (CDF)
Before you can assemble the other pieces of your strategy, you have to have one key fundamental in hand. I call this your Content Differentiation Factor, or CDF for short.
This factor is what separates you or your client's brand from the billions of others out there on the internet.
- What sets you apart from your competitors?
- How do you help your customers/audience differently?
- How do you help them better than anybody else in your industry?
Once you have a handle on your CDF, you can dive into which topic areas you will own for content creation. That's a HUGE part of any good digital content strategy.
C. Know Your Topic Area(s)
Content marketing is all about giving your audience value and information in the form of blogs and articles, images, infographics, videos, ebooks, white papers, and more. When you provide accurate, reliable, trustworthy content, time and time again, you build trust with your people.
Of course, if you're going to provide all of these resources, you need something to write/talk about. It can't be just any random topic, though. It has to be:
- Relevant to what you sell
- Relevant to your audience
- Related to your industry expertise
I call this your topic area – the place where what your audience wants and your expertise collide.
Your key topic area is a broad umbrella under which lots of other related topics live.
Example: If your expertise is "selling running shoes," you don't have to limit your content to that topic alone. Lots of connected, related topics will lead your target audience to you, too:
- Training
- Running events
- Warm-up exercises
- Knee health
- Hydration
- Etc.
Big tip: I teach both of these concepts (CDF and topic areas) PLUS how to build a digital content strategy from the ground up in my comprehensive, intensive Content Strategy & Marketing Course.
2. Understand Your Audience
The next question that should be on your radar when creating a digital content strategy:
If you're thinking "Wow, I have NO IDEA," you need to do audience research, STAT.
Building a digital content strategy for 2019? You need a master plan. @JuliaEMcCoy has you covered in this guide. #contentmarketing Click To Tweet
A. Do Audience Research
Audience research is an indispensable activity to do when you're forming your digital content strategy. This helps you get to know your targets on a deep, personal level without any guesswork. (Because if you only guess at what your ideal audience is like, you'll probably miss the mark!)
My #1 tip for audience research is to simply talk to them. That's right – sit down and have an old-fashioned conversation with your ideal customer, whether over the phone, on Skype, or at your favorite coffee shop.
Pick their brain, get to know them, and find out what makes them tick. This type of research will be monumentally helpful when you go on to create your audience persona.
B. Create Audience Personas for Your Content Strategy
An audience persona is like a cheat sheet that tells you all of the important facts, stats, and demographics about your ideal customer. This little tool not only helps you remember your audience is made up of living, breathing people – it also helps you stay hyper-focused on who you're talking to in your content. It might look like this:
A mock buyer persona for Starbucks. Check the SlideShare to see the whole thing.
How do you create a persona? Ask lots of personal questions about your buyer. This is a good example of a persona development checklist from WiredImpact. This is specifically for nonprofits, but many of the questions can apply to any type of brand or industry:
3. Know How SEO Fits In
Your ideal buyer is searching on Google for information. Targeting the keywords your online leads are typing into the search bar means they will discover you that much quicker.
That's called search engine optimization (SEO), and it's a major piece of any digital content strategy.
SEO begins with keyword research.
A. Research Targeted Keywords Your Ideal Buyer Is Searching
Keyword research is how you find those key terms and phrases your ideal buyer is searching for on Google.
Your best bet is to find long-tail keywords (3 or more words in length) with low competition (usually meaning a keyword difficulty score – KD – of less than 50; i.e. still "easy" or "possible" to rank for that term) and highly relevant to your brand/industry. I call this your "sweet spot."
Some of my favorite keyword research tools are KWFinder and SEMrush. This is what a possible keyword looks like in KWFinder:
To find your own highly relevant, low-competition keywords:
- Start with broad seed keywords that describe your industry niche. (Example: "treehouse")
- Add onto those terms to make them long-tail. (Example: "how to build a treehouse")
- Look at the keyword variations your tool suggests.
- Check keyword difficulty and search volume. Weed out the keywords that are too hard to rank for/have too much competition.
For an expanded breakdown of keyword research for your digital content strategy, check out our guide: How to Find Killer SEO Keywords for Your Online Content.
4. Build and Solidify Your Online Authority
Building up your online presence and authority has a ripple effect:
- It demonstrates your expertise in your industry.
- It builds trust with your audience, transforming them from visitors to leads to customers.
- It builds your website's domain authority (DA).
- It generates valuable backlinks to your website (which helps your content climb the rankings).
All of these positive effects are essential to profitable content marketing. That's why ironing out how you will build your online authority is a must-do when you build your digital content strategy.
Ask yourself:
- Where will you focus on building your authority?
- What's the main web address that will be associated with your brand?
- Where will all outside links to your content point to?
The answer to all of these questions is what I call your content house.
This is your content basecamp, where you will host and publish all of your content pieces, landing pages, and blogs. It will be the main focus of your digital content strategy efforts.
Build content on your own land versus proprietary platforms (Facebook, Medium, Blogger, etc.). Outside platforms come and go, and your control over the content you post is never guaranteed. In contrast, you have total control over your own domain, and your content will be there as long as you maintain it.
Some other tips for building your online authority:
- Keep your website updated and fresh. Blogging helps with this!
- Make sure the design is user-friendly, including links, navigation, and images.
- Only publish the best content you possibly can.
- Prioritize quality over quantity.
For more guidance, this article from HubSpot is a good resource on this topic: 11 Ways to Use Content to Build Online Authority.
5. Create Content the Right Way
Here it is: the nitty-gritty part of your digital content strategy. Content creation is truly the heart of the whole shebang.
Luckily, you already did a lot of the dirty work by going through steps 1-4. Having your target audience + personas in hand as well as relevant keywords, your topic area(s), and your content goals will make content creation a snap.
A. Optimize Your Content with Keywords
Remember those keywords you found via strategic keyword research? It's time to put them into action.
- Ideate content topics using your keywords.
- Write content around those keywords.
- Use keywords in key places in your content:
- Title tag/headline
- Meta description
- Page URL (also called the "URL slug")
- H2s, H3s
- First and last paragraphs
- Sprinkled throughout, including synonymous keywords
B. Find a Workflow That Works
To create great content consistently, you need a proven workflow that works every time.
Your workflow can and should stem from your digital content strategy. Lay out the key steps you'll take each and every time you sit down to create content, and the process will flow much easier. Include these three basic steps:
- Ideation – Come up with content ideas that fall within your topic area(s) and match up with your content goals. Do it regularly so you never have to face a blank mind and a blank computer screen. (See "Map Content Topics to Your Content Goals," below.)
- Creation – Write, research, draft, and edit your content. In this stage, you'll also add images, optimize with keywords, and potentially collaborate with other writers, editors, and graphic designers.
- Preparation – Schedule your content to publish strategically. Use an editorial calendar to organize your posting schedule. Start thinking of where you can distribute and promote your content besides your content house.
C. Map Your Audience Persona to the Marketing Lifecycle
Remember the audience persona from step 2 of building our digital content strategy? Don't just write for them. Write for where they currently stand in the marketing lifecycle.
This will help you create content that's ultra-targeted, that speaks to your buyer's deepest pain points. You'll be addressing them right where it hurts and offering help – and that's beyond powerful.
The modern marketing lifecycle looks like this. Note that it includes a key stage, Loyalty:
Check out this post on the marketing lifecycle to read about what each stage means for your buyer. Once you figure out what stage your persona is in, you can map that stage to a type of content you should create for them, or an action you should take to help them move to the next:
Use the marketing lifecycle in tandem with the next section (5.D. – mapping content topics to goals) for content that packs a punch.
D. Map Content Topics to Your Content Goals
What's the best way to ensure the content you create moves you closer to your goals and ROI?
When your content topics connect to your goals. In other words, your content should always serve a purpose. It shouldn't just exist – it needs to do something to get you closer to your idea of success.
I rely on my three-bucket topic strategy to make sure my content aligns with my goals. Here's how it works:
I visualize my major brand goals for my digital content strategy as 3 different buckets:
- Build SEO rankings
- Build sales & connections
- Build brand awareness
Every single content piece I create needs to fit inside at least one of these goal buckets.
Additionally, certain content types fit into each bucket:If a content topic idea doesn't fit into one of these buckets, I throw it in the trash and move on to the next idea.
Check out our guide on using the three-bucket topic strategy to really dig into how this can work for you.
E. Guest Blog Strategically
Guest blogging is an activity that majorly builds your online authority. When you guest blog strategically, it will lead the host blog's audience (which also should be your target audience) straight to your content house, like so:
When approaching guest blogging opportunities as part of your digital content strategy, remember to:
- Only approach guest blog publications that are directly related to your brand/industry, for which you share a target audience.
- Familiarize yourself with the publication's posting guidelines, and follow them to the letter.
- Contact a real, live human from the publication about guest posting for a better chance at a "yes." This is usually an editor or managing editor.
6. Set a Budget, Promote Your Published Pieces, and Maintain Momentum
The final parts of setting up your digital content strategy include setting your budget, planning for content promotion, and generally keeping your content marketing momentum going strong.
A. Budget for Your Major Content Activities
To carry out your digital content strategy, you will need some resources. This can include stuff like:
- Web hosting
- Help with content creation (copywriters, editors, etc.)
- Tools and software for keyword research, topic research, email marketing, etc.
- Tools and software for tracking and measuring your content performance
As such, you should budget for everything you plan to use to make your content strategy work.
B. Promote Your Content
SEO is only one way your target audience may discover your content. Along with this, you should come up with ways to promote and distribute your content to get as many eyes on it as possible. This might include:
- Emails to your subscribers
- Social media posts surrounding your content
- Paid promotion like Facebook ads
C. Maintain Your Digital Content Strategy
Maintaining your digital content marketing strategy is all about auditing your content, tracking your progress, and measuring your results. Without this, you'll never be able to see how far you've come, and your ROI will be unclear.
Auditing your content for quality and freshness – Eventually, lots of your old blogs and content pieces will get outdated with stale information or old quality standards. Updating these posts is a great idea for your digital content strategy. It ensures your content always aligns with your goals, mission, and standards.
Tracking and measuring – You will have no idea what kind of effect content marketing has on your brand presence and revenue if you don't track and measure it. According to the Content Marketing Institute, a few KPIs (key performance indicators) to hone in on include:
- Organic website traffic
- Unique visitors
- Engagement (bounce rates, click patterns, page views)
- Comments
- Social shares
A Digital Content Strategy Is Your Map to More Customers, More ROI, and More Revenue
Content marketing is nothing without a strategy. When you put that foundation in place, it gives you a map and guidebook to ROI. It points you in the right direction and tells you how to get there.
According to CoSchedule's 2018 State of Marketing Strategy Report, marketers who create and document a digital strategy are 538% more likely to report success than those without a documented strategy.
That's incredible. More importantly, it shows just how vital it is to plan out your digital marketing.
So, here's my next question:
Have you started your content marketing planning yet? (If not… What are you waiting for?)

Shopping From The Heart
With a fantastic mix of urban shopping districts and some of the nation's biggest retail centers, you are going to need an extra bag to bring everything home! I was bored in college and I had nothing else to do. It later became a hobby, and I began acquiring and selling frequently, going on treasure hunts and thrift shopping to find cool vintage items to sell. If standard, in-season merchandise or merchandise that is a store staple year in year out is wanted then on-line shopping will possibly save a shopper a excellent amount of cash.

55-Year-Old Woman Gets Black Hairy Tongue After Car Crash!
In what can best be described as a hairy situation, a 55-year-old woman suffered from "black hairy tongue" after a car accident that left both of her legs crushed.
She took an antibiotic to treat her wound infections, and a week later, she noticed her tongue turned black and fuzzy and reported being nauseous and having a "bad taste in her mouth."
Following her complains, doctors at Washington University suspect that her medication was to blame, reports The New England Journal of Medicine.
The woman was given different medication and her hair-raising symptoms went away after four weeks.
"Back Hairy Tongue" can also be caused by poor oral hygiene, excessive alcohol consumption and smoking.
On the upside though, the condition is usually reversible with good oral hygiene and has no long-term effects if treated early.

Mega Drive III (clone console)
|Mega Drive III
|Manufacturer: Kin Wai (Hong Kong) Investment Limited
This short article is in need of work. You can help Sega Retro by adding to it.
The Mega Drive III is an Sega Mega Drive clone console released at some point during the 2000s. It is thought to be related to the Mega Drive One, and though its origins are not yet fully understood, some models list Songa as its creator.
The Mega Drive III is modelled on a Nintendo 64 (the only console of this nature thought to mimic a Nintendo system), though is physically smaller and ships with two Sega Saturn-inspired controllers. Predictably it is not compatible with the Sega Mega-CD due to a lack of an expansion port.
Mega Drive IIIs are not uncommon in Ukraine.

Or let us keep you posted automatically about what's happening at Inmarsat by registering to receive our news by email, by subscribing to our RSS feed, or by following us on Twitter.
14 November 2014: Explorers to Africa's last wetland wilderness are changing the face of future wildlife and scientific expeditions by sharing data in real time via Inmarsat's BGAN.
Scientists have been sending data back from the Okavango Delta in Botswana – a haven of biodiversity and home to 550 species of bird and the largest population of elephants and hippos in the world.
Inmarsat's connectivity has allowed followers around the world to experience the expedition first-hand, as well as raise awareness via Twitter, Facebook, blogs and videos on National Geographic.
Okavango Wilderness Project conservationists John Hilton and Dr Steve Boyes of the Wild Bird Trust, data artist Jer Thorp, conservation engineer Shah Selbe and adventurer Gregg Treinish are now preparing for a three-month expedition down the full length of the Okavango River from June to August 2015.
They hope data from the delta – proclaimed as the 1000th World Heritage Site by UNESCO this year – will help it become as famous as the Barrier Reef and the Amazon and protect it from encroaching development.
They will be using a Hughes 9202 Wi-Fi-enabled BGAN terminal and Inmarsat's IsatPhone Pro satellite phone.
"Our next expedition is going to be the largest we've ever undertaken as it will take us from the source of the Cuito River in Angola down into the Okavango and onwards across the delta and ultimately into the Boteti River which ends in the sands of the Kalahari desert – travelling 1,700 km (1,056 miles) in dug-out canoes from source-to-sand," said John.
"We'll be collecting multiple streams of scientific data to establish the data-set necessary to establish a system of protected areas that preserves an important section of the river and potential eco-tourism development areas.
"We want people to feel like they're travelling with us as we cross a vast wilderness with great herds of elephant and buffalo, still migrating freely, lions calling through the night, and the abundant life of the Kalahari finding refuge.
"This is why it's vital that at least once a day we're able to establish a reliable communications link – one that provides us with ordinary connectivity in extraordinary places, and Inmarsat does just that."
Jer added: "By making the data available, we increase the number of people who can learn more about the delta. Why have data from an expedition only available to one research group when you can make it available to everyone? There's an ethical obligation since the data is owned by the delta."
And Shah commented: "It completely flips the old model of expeditionary data collection to create an opportunity for students, scientists, technologists, artists and conservationists to get involved."
The team also hope to continue to inspire future adventurers. Last year, schools and universities followed the expedition via Google Hangout, Twitter, and the website.
The expedition came about in 2013 when the Wild Bird Trust teamed up with the Office for Creative Research and New York University to set up a public interface to provide real time access to all expedition data.
This year's 17-day expedition saw the scientists travelling 300km (186 miles) along the delta as they tested mapping, research apps, film production requirements, and power supply systems.
For next year's expedition, the team is building a customised 'data boat' – a traditional vessel called a mokoro, a dug-out canoe, that will house all of the scientific instruments needed for measuring environmental conditions, water quality, as well as kits for sharing audio, video and photos live and online.

Executive Turned Farmer Brings Organic Produce Back to Old ...
He's opening a stand to sell his produce on Riverside Boulevard. ... of the Avery, one the high-rise apartment buildings that line Riverside Boulevard.
Blu partners with cafe for new Riverside Boulevard office
September 12, 2011 06:30PMBy Adam FusfeldVisitors won't necessarily be looking to buy, rent or sell an apartment when they step into Blu Realty Group's forthcoming Upper West Side office. They may just be in the mood for a cup of coffee.
Alon Chadad, co-founder of Blu Realty Group, and the site of Blu's Lincoln Square offices at 120 Riverside Boulevard
The residential brokerage partnered with Tavalon Tea to bring what it believes is the first real estate office and coffee bar concept to Manhattan, the brokerage and drink purveyor both confirmed. The cafe will be called Blu Cafe by Tavalon Tea and will comprise about 900 square feet of Blu's approximately 1,600-square-foot space. The cafe and office will have the same entrance with only a glass wall separating them.
As The Real Deal previously reported, the new offices, are opening at 120 Riverside Boulevard, at the corner of West 66th Street, on the ground floor of Trump Place 120.
"We wanted to do this for the neighborhood," said Alon Chadad, co-founder of Blu said. "There's no place nearby for the neighborhood to sit down, have coffee and enjoy Wi-Fi -- it really needs it."
The nearest Starbucks is 0.4 miles away at 2045 Broadway near 72nd Street, and another one is 0.5 miles away at 152 Columbus Avenue near 66th Street, according to Google Maps.
Tavalon previously had a retail location near Union Square that opened in 2006, but it has since shuttered. The company still provides tea to many hotels, restaurants and bars, including Fairway, Pulino's Bar & Pizzeria and Setai Hotel Fifth Avenue. Tavalon CEO John-Paul Lee said the coffee and tea shop coveted this location, and agreed with Chadad's assessment that the area is under-served when it comes to coffee and tea -- especially considering its demographics.
Blu, which also has offices at 1674 Broadway, near 52nd Street, decided on the Lincoln Square location for its proximity to the new developments that line the Hudson River in the West 60s, where Blu agents conduct much of their business.
"In the traditional sense, no one would go to a real estate office unless they are seriously looking at buying or renting an apartment," Lee said. "But this will give them reason to go, and return, two or three times a day without feeling any pressure to buy."
Blu hopes to open the doors to its new office in late October, Chadad said.
Neither Blu nor Tavalon would detail the logistics of the lease. Extell Development and the Carlyle Group, joint owners of the development, were not immediately available for comment.
The Yard has been open now for about a year. It's a fusion of Italian/Asian. Pizza and pasta on one side, sushi and rolls on the other side. Outdoor seating in good weather.
It is getting crowded on the Blvd for real estate agents with yet another real estate office opening soon, this one at the Avery.
Nest Seekers to open Andres Escobar-designed office in the Avery
September 15, 2011 02:30PM By Adam Fusfeld This fall, a one block stretch of Riverside Boulevard will suddenly become crowded with real estate offices. First, Blu Realty Group brought a real estate office and cafe to the boulevard, now Nest Seekers International is bringing an office designed by Andres Escobar & Associates to Lincoln Square. The residential brokerage said it commissioned the high-end designer to transform the raw commercial condominium it bought at the base of the Avery into its newest office. Escobar is known for designing the Duvet nightclub in Gramercy and the 92 Greene Street condo in Soho, among other high-profile projects.
Nest Seekers closed on the $1.4 million, approximately 1,500-square-foot space at 100 Riverside Boulevard last month and will open the office, its fourth in Manhattan, in 30 to 60 days. The West Side office is the firm's 10th overall; in addition to the Manhattan locations it has one office in Long Island City, four on the East End, and one in Miami.
"Just as when we deal with clients and steer them towards value purchases, we chose this location for the long-term value and investment opportunity that comes in owning a space in a wonderful neighborhood," said Ravi Gulivindala, a Nest Seekers vice president and managing director who will head up the office. He said he is one of several agents who works on many deals in the area. Approximately 30 agents will be stationed in the new office, comprised of a mix of new hires and Nest Seekers agents from others offices.
The location will have about 50 feet of frontage along both Riverside Boulevard and West 65th Street, which Gulivandala said will serve as great advertisement to passersby and, potentially, drivers stuck in traffic on the West Side Highway.
Inside, the office will have a modern look, with open space and an interesting use of color.
"We are thrilled to be designing for Nest Seekers International," said Escobar, who also designed the new Lexington Avenue offices for Peter Ashe Real Estate. "Our studio has a longstanding, established presence in New York City's design scene, and we intend to expand that presence further, taking on high-profile residential, retail and commercial projects."
The office will open about the same time as Blu Realty Group's office one block north at 120 Riverside Boulevard. Blu's founders are all Nest Seekers alums, but Gulivindala said he doesn't see it as any different than other parts of Manhattan, such as Greenwich Village, where two competing firms have neighboring offices. Blu declined to comment on having Nest Seekers move nearby.

Facing off against a team known for its suffocating defense, the young Panthers' inexperience was on full display in a 69-59 loss to West Virginia Saturday afternoon in the 186th edition of the Backyard Brawl.
Whether it was the hostile Morgantown environment, the trademark under-your-skin defense from head coach Bob Huggins' Mountaineers, or a standout performance from one of the nation's premier shot-blockers, Pitt turned the ball over a season-high 24 times and committed a season-high 26 fouls while shooting a season-low 31 percent from the field.
Playing poorly in those departments of the game will never earn you the win, but to their credit, the upstart Panthers fought diligently, forcing 26 West Virginia turnovers which they turned into 24 points on the offensive end. They also kept pace with the Mountaineers at the free throw line, making 19 of 23 attempts.
WVU junior forward Sagaba Konate earned the game's unofficial MVP award, scoring 16 points and leading both teams with nine rebounds and an incredible seven blocks, becoming the school's all-time leader in that category.
It was a purely two-man show for Pitt, with Johnson scoring 21, Mcgowens scoring 18 and no other Panther contributing more than six points. Johnson tied for the team lead with six rebounds and two assists, but also coughed up a game-high eight turnovers.
The Mountaineers gained the upper hand early on, hopping out to a 5-0 lead after a layup from senior forward Esa Ahmad and a 3-pointer from junior guard James Bolden. West Virginia's patented pressure defense was also on display, as the team forced three Pitt turnovers in the first three minutes.
As he has all season, talented first-year point guard Xavier Johnson served as the offensive spark plug for Pitt. He brought the Panthers back into the game by scoring their first seven points — an emphatic dunk, a 3-pointer and a contested floater — to tie the game five minutes in.
This Backyard Brawl quickly lived up to its billing as a rivalry game, with the teams getting chippy with one another and earning double technicals at the 14:33 mark. Two minutes later, WVU sophomore forward Andrew Gordon stood over Pitt junior Kene Chukwuka as he lay on the ground, resulting in technical fouls for each team once again.
The home crowd in Morgantown greeted these scuffles with a chorus of "Eat [expletive] Pitt!" chants.
After notching a 15-13 advantage with 8:31 to go in the half, Pitt's offense took a dive bomb. The Panthers couldn't find the bottom of the net — and what's more, they could hardly get shots off, turning the ball over on six straight possessions over the next four minutes. WVU used those turnovers to mount a 9-0 run and take a 24-15 lead.
Johnson, who had been relegated to the bench due to foul trouble, re-entered the game with five minutes left in the half in an effort to get the Panthers back on track. As if on cue, he drew a foul on a strong take to the rim, earning a trip to the free throw line and sinking both attempts to stop the Mountaineer run.
WVU gained its largest lead of the game to that point, 32-21, on a pair of free throws from Bolden. Then, on the other end, Konate — the best shot-blocker in the nation last year — made his presence known with an authoritative rejection of Pitt junior Malik Ellison. The Mountaineers translated that into two more points to go up 13.
Pitt senior forward Jared Wilson-Frame finally quieted the crowd with a corner three — the Panthers' first made field goal since 10-minute mark. First-year guard Trey Mcgowens drilled a three from the same spot on Pitt's next possession to draw back within single digits.
After one last turnover from Johnson, the Mountaineers went into halftime with a 39-27 lead.
It was a markedly ugly first half for the Panthers. They turned the ball over a whopping 14 times — more than in four entire games this season — and committed 14 fouls. West Virginia used those miscues to its advantage, making 10 of 11 free throws and scoring 15 points off those takeaways.
The sloppy play picked back up in the second half, with both teams committing five combined fouls in the opening two minutes.
Konate continued to terrorize the Panthers on defense. On a breakaway run from Johnson, Konate's mere chase-down presence made him try a behind the back pass instead of attempting the open dunk, resulting in a turnover. 30 seconds later, Johnson chose to take it to the basket, where Konate met him with a block — putting himself just four blocks away from WVU's all-time record.
Meanwhile, the Mountaineers steadily increased upon their 12-point halftime lead. They forced turnover No. 18 at the 15:41 mark — already tying Pitt's record on the season — and went up 48-31 on an Ahmad layup.
No one on the Panthers was immune to the turnover bug. Old or young, point guard or center, "Press Virginia" smothered them alike. A charge on first-year guard Au'Diese Toney and a double-dribble on Wilson-Frame brought Pitt's turnover total to 20 with 13:48 remaining.
Pitt also struggled to shoot the ball, going an abysmal 22 percent on 2-9 shooting to start the second half. All these frustrations boiled over when Mcgowens drove to the hoop and was met aggressively by a WVU defender. No foul was called, and Capel — who was apparently fed up with the refs' lack of respect for his young players — adamantly pleaded his case to the officials.

It doesn't take an expert lip-reader to understand the message being conveyed there.
He was rewarded with a technical foul, but he may have gotten his point across. The referees finally began to blow their whistles on Pitt's drives, resulting in an and-one for Mcgowens and an and-one for Johnson on consecutive possessions, bringing the Panthers within 11 points.
Mcgowens, streaking down the right sideline, found himself with a breakaway chance to challenge Konate, streaking down the other side of the court, at the rim. In a battle of wills, he leapt up for the dunk attempt — but Konate made him pay, pinning the shot off the backboard for his fifth block off the game, one shy of the school record.
With eight minutes left, Mcgowens took advantage of a Konate trip to the bench, making a layup to bring Pitt back within 10, 56-46. Ellison closed the gap further with a fast-break lay-in of his own, bringing the Panthers within single digits with 7:27 left.
The Panthers would then go ice-cold from the field, missing their next six field goal attempts during a four-minute scoring drought. Toney finally got Pitt back on track with an and-one, but by that point WVU had extended its lead back to 12 points.
Pitt refused to go away in the closing minutes of the contest, getting down 14 points but closing back within eight points with two minutes left thanks to a strong free-throw shooting effort. Toney, Chukwuka and Mcgowens all earned trips to the charity stripe and converted to keep the Panthers in the game.
However, the deficit was just too great to overcome. Despite Pitt's best efforts, the Mountaineers were able to keep them scoreless for the remainder of the game, running the clock out on a 69-59 victory.
With the win, the Mountaineers improved their mark in the all-time series to 98-88. Pitt hasn't played any opponent more often throughout program history.
The loss drops the Panthers' record to 7-3 while improving WVU's record to 6-3. Next on the agenda, Pitt returns home to play Maryland Eastern Shore, Dec. 15 at 2 p.m.

Basic Care
1. Always boil your cup before and after your period for 10 mins in a large pot, while giving it a good stir from time to time. Make sure that it does not come in contact with the sides, or bottom of the pot as that could melt the silicone. In other words, keep an eye on it like it's your wild drunk friend at a bar have it's back and protect it like its got yours! (Ps, we're talkin' to cup vets and newbies alike, it's always great to boil your Flex Cup to make sure your cup is properly sanitized for the sake of its longevity and your vaginal health.) #protectdatp
2. When at home, start with clean hands and wash your cup with the warmest water you can stand + oil and fragrance-free soap. Pro-tip: to clean the inside of your cup, fill it with that same soapy blend and place a palm over the opening. Swish that around for a minute or two making sure that water runs through the air holes located on the top of your cup.
3. When on the go, regular warm tap water will get the job done until you can properly clean your cup. Personally, we're up for strutting to the sink with pride (we all have periods, it's okay) BUT if you're not bold enough or can't make it to one, bring a water bottle into the stall to give your cup a quick rinse and reinsert. Then go on about your day! You did it, we love you. Get a damn gluten-free, vegan donut you deserve it!

The other week I had the pleasure of photographing one of my best friends and her hubby- to-be for their pre-wedding photo session. The venue they picked was Dyffryn Gardens – a beautiful location with a mixture of nature and architexture. They were very fortunate to pick a glorious day, but for most of it we stayed in the shadows – the best place for nice continous lighting on portraits.
At this time of year we were treated to a display of blooms from a few of my favourite trees/bushes, the Cherry blossom, Magnolia and Camellia – which gave a fabulous flash of colour to the background of several of the shots.
They brought their whippet; Merlin along for the session, he was such a good boy, poor little guy got quite bored towards the end.
We also decided to do another session during a picnic on the beach in Swansea, these can also be found below.
I can't wait for their big day in May, it's going to be so much fun!

Even Superman took time off from being perfect so he could be regular old Clark Kent now and then! It's okay to be in tune with your limitations and exercise your Right to take it easy.
List the tasks you did not accomplish this week.
Maybe you didn't feel well enough to finish a project, or you decided not to take part in an extra-credit study group. Whatever it was, if you feel like you failed to meet someone's expectations (or even failed to meet your own expectations), list it here:
Now… list all of your accomplishments this week – large and small.
From finishing homework to doing daily chores to taking part in extra-curricular activities, consider every single task on your daily To-Do list and record all of the things you did get done:
Compare your two lists. Did you get less done than you hoped? Click Here
Did you accomplish more than you realized? Click Here
Cut yourself some slack, accept that you don't have to be superhuman every single second of every single day, and practice saying this phrase to people:
"That sounds like a good goal. I'm not ready to tackle it right now but I'll try it another time."Then curl up with a good book, listen to your favorite music, watch a TV show that makes you laugh, or just take a long nap! A little rest and relaxation is good for the body and for the soul.
Sometimes pain makes it seem like you didn't get much done - but when you keep track of your accomplishments, you may find they far outnumber your "failures."
If you don't believe you have this right, no one else will believe it either. You do deserve equal and fair treatment and once you embrace that fact, the rest of these Rights will fall right into place.
You are living a life with pain. That means sometimes you may find yourself traveling through uncharted territory. Of course you're going to make mistakes from time to time because mistakes are a natural part of daily life for all of us!
In our ultra-competitive world, it's easy to buckle under to that pressure to be The Best. But you have the Right to occasionally step back from those demands because your pain can increase when you push yourself too far.
Listen to what your body is asking you to do: Take a breather. Take a break.
Pain makes it difficult to make plans in advance. But that doesn't mean you have to shut yourself off from the people and activities you enjoy.
Go ahead and make plans and if your pain flares up, know that you have the Right to change your mind and try again on a day when you feel well enough to fully enjoy the activity.
No one knows what you need better than you do. Start each morning by asking yourself, "What are my needs today?" Then determine the right path, and the right people, to help you reach your objectives. You have the Right to approach them and ask for what you want.
How many times have you regretted saying yes to a request? Maybe it happens because you're eager to please people. Maybe you feel pressured to provide a fast answer. Either way, you have the Right to pause and consider the consequences.
"Let me think about it and get back to you." Those magic words ought to buy you some time to think through any request.
You have the Right to know the reasons why your parents, teachers, and medical team are making decisions that affect your life. As the old saying goes, Information is power.
If you don't understand something, do the research, and ask the questions, which will connect you to the facts, figures, definitions, and answers you need to be in-the-know.
At some point in your life, you probably held a door open for someone carrying a heavy box. Or lent your friend lecture notes from the day she was absent. Or volunteered with a group doing community service.You don't resent lending a hand when someone needs help so don't be shy about asking others for assistance when you are in need. You may be surprised to discover just how many people are happy to come to your aid!
Try running a marathon with a thousand-pound weight attached to your back. Yeah. That's what it's like going through life feeling bad about who you are.
You need to think about how pain affects your own self-image before you can think about your relationships with others. Shed the emotional dead weight because you have the Right to feel good about who you are.
Some people think disagreeing is the same thing as arguing. But we all hold different views and opinions about topics.
It doesn't matter if it's a parent, teacher, friend, or even a member of your medical team; it's okay to respectfully disagree with a point that just doesn't sit right with you.
There's a big difference between choosing to share information and feeling obligated to talk about stuff you'd really keep to yourself - especially when it comes to revealing details about your pain.
No need to apologize, no need to over-share, no need to provide play-by-play commentary about what's going on inside your head. You have the Right to privacy and to living the life you choose on your own terms.
Saying no to someone can be tough ... but saying yes to everyone is even tougher! You do not have to agree to everything you're asked to do. Life is a lot less stressful when you know you can exercise your Right to say no and then move on without guilt.
Fear is a pretty powerful controller – especially fear of the unknown. Take away that fear by asking one simple question: Why?
The answer might help clear up a misunderstanding . . . or give you a new perspective ... or provide input for an important decision. It might even reveal that the person you're asking can't adequately answer why a decision is being made! Asking why will put you back into a position of power over your life so get used to asking it – a lot.
There is no right or wrong when it comes to expressing your feelings. Hiding how you really feel will only lead to frustration, tension and stress -- and that's never a good thing when it comes to managing your pain.
Be up-front about your feelings and stand firm if someone tries to devalue them. You have the right to be heard and respected because what you have to say is important to the conversation.
Some days your body tells you to exercise your right to do less than you normally do. Listen to your body when it's talking!
But when your body tells you it's ready to handle more, get back into your regular routine – because prolonged periods of inactivity could make some types of pain worse.
