On the 3 & 4 of June 2017, Homemade CPT hosted an event particularly curated towards modest fashion collections at Dance 4 Fitness Studios in Claremont, Cape Town. Our clients appreciate the convenience of an array of unique collections, be it minimal or maximal. We then design the space to compliment the fashion.
The modest pieces were suited to this line-up of designers' A/W17 collections and in some cases, designers created a special collection particularly for Eid – as beautiful clothes are bought to match the beautiful occasion celebrated by Muslims.
We believe in sharing the journey so we thought it would be interesting to let you in on one of the reasons behind us starting Homemade CPT from co-founder Leila's experience.
"Eid marks a festive celebration for the Muslim Community, with everybody always wanting to look their best, modestly. Cape Town is renowned for its large muslim population, who have an artisanal fashion heritage still visible in some of the brands today (Refer to links of brands below). My friends and I always put some particular effort into our Eid look with limited budgets. We frequented some dressmakers who called themselves designers or some mens' tailors offering to try their hand at structured garments for us ladies. It was sometimes a real hit or a total miss. At the end of it all, it added to the memory of the occasion. When ready-to-wear came onto the scene by many of these home-run businesses, we were quite happy to say the very least.
After the birth of my first son, I wanted something special to mark the occasion. My bestie and I drove around to 8 home studios looking for "an outfit", which took us a lengthy 6hrs. That was the most time I had spent away from my son, who was 10wks old. Not making for a very convenient experience. Extreme and maybe unnecessary but this little buy would be my pick-me-up for my new size. A feel good moment I really needed."
So, one of the key objectives for Homemade CPT was to get all the amazing local talent into one beautiful and convenient location from which to shop. There is certainly no shortage of talent and for the very first Demure Designer's Collection, we have been extremely fortunate to host some of Cape Town's finest!
Homemade CPT had the priviledge of sharing the creative thinking process that went into these beautiful collections by the designers, which you too can enjoy via the links provided below.
Designer Lineup
- Streetlines Apparel
- Phi Casa
- Mod-ish
- Minimal Exposure
- Lazuli
- Gadija Khan Designs
- A Sense of Style

To compliment the fashion, the following brands also participated at the event:
- Scarf Box – an online scarf box subscription service that curated a box in collaboration with the designers' collections.
- Wimsy – An artisanal beaded accessory maker.
- Flormar – An affordable professional make-up brand keen to support local endeavours.

Price (RRP): $649/799
Manufacturer: Google
Google has done it again, releasing the Google Pixel 3a and 3a XL – quality handsets with a stunning camera at a more affordable $649/799 price. That is niche marketing in action.
GadgetGuy loves the Pixel line and still has a Pixel 2 and Pixel 3 (XL models – we are big phone GadgetGuys) which we use as perfect examples of pure Android and Qualcomm reference phones. It is nice to see what a single lens camera can do as well. Enter the Google Pixel 3a and 3a XL.
The Pixel 3a and 3a XL were no surprise. Both are basically a Pixel 3/XL (GadgetGuy review here) with a slower Qualcomm SD670 processor (was SD845) and the same camera sans the Pixel Visual Core (the SD670 does this). There are a few other changes, but a Pixel is a Pixel and deserves consideration as such.
In fact, this move portends the future of the Pixel 4 series due for launch in October (GadgetGuy rumours here). We are guessing there will be the full-fat version with the SD855 and the 'a' version with either the latest SD7XX or SD6XX SoC.
How we rate smartphones
We have paradigms to slot them into market segments based on performance and price.
Our original four categories have grown to seven, and we review against different paradigms for each category.
- Foldable $2500+
- Premium Flagship $1600-2499 (usually a flagship with more memory/storage, additional camera lens and now 5G)
- Flagship $1000-1599 (account for about 10% of sales)
- Premium mid-market $800-999 (10% and often last year's flagship at run-out price)
- Mid-market $500-799 (about 25% of the market)
- Mass-market $200-499 (about 25% of the market)
- Value pre-paid <A$199 (about 30% of the market – good for pre-paid and children)
The Pixel 3a is $649, and the 3a XL is $799 putting them squarely against mid-market offerings like the Nokia 8.1, LG G7 ThinQ, OPPO R17 Pro and last year's flagship Samsung Galaxy S9. These are very tough competition – all of these are excellent.
Buy here – or you will regret it
We issue the standard warning that you must buy the genuine model with Australian firmware as it works on all Australian Telco carrier LTE bands and can make a 000-emergency call (not 911) without a SIM. These also have Google Pay that works with Australian PayWave readers.
International models numbers G020A, G020E, G020G and G020H, are not for Australia.
Review: Google Pixel 3a Model G020F SKU: GA00745-AU
Australian Website here.
Although the review is for the 3a, we will note the 3a XL specs in brackets. Performance should be identical.
In the box
- Handset
- USB-C 5V/3A and 9V/2A (18W) charger
- USB-C 2.0 to USB-C cable
- USB-A (female) to USB-C (male) adapter
- 3.5 mm earbuds and mic
The first impression
OK, I know Pixel, and it's utilitarian (some call it dull) looks. Pixel style is not so much bland as functional. This has a plastic two-tone back/frame unibody, the typical largish top brow (no notch) and bottom chin and it is a flat panel with widish side bezels. That all makes for easier repairability scoring a 6-out-of-10 according to iFixit's teardown.
Those who love Pixel style (a.k.a. Google's design language) will appreciate the simplicity. In fact, the 'a' series may win back those who loved the Nexus program – affordable excellence.
The lack of an alloy frame makes it a little flimsier than the Pixel 3, but it passes #bendgate tests with aplomb. And it still has a side squeeze gesture.
It also has a 3.5mm audio jack – Google says at this price range you expect it to, and it has the usual non-expandable 64GB storage (Google offers unlimited 'compressed' Google cloud Photo and video storage).

The 10 Best Cities in Africa and the Middle East
What do Travel + Leisure readers look for when choosing the best cities in Africa and the Middle East? The results of our World's Best Awards survey for 2019 made it clear that the criteria are very specific. A strong sense of historical and cultural identity is crucial, as is beautiful scenery. The food and shopping scenes are important, too. And the hotels, of course, must be world-class.
The South African city of Cape Town has all of the above, and more — which is why T+L readers voted it the best city in Africa and the Middle East for the 18th time. "It is such a beautiful city," observed one reader. "There are so many things to do and places to see and experience. The people are incredibly friendly and make you feel welcomed, and the value is wonderful."
Every year for our World's Best Awards survey, Travel + Leisure asks readers to weigh in on travel experiences around the globe — to share their opinions on the top cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more. Readers rated cities on their sights and landmarks, culture, cuisine, friendliness, shopping, and overall value.

Morocco is another long-standing favorite when it comes to Africa and the Middle East. Marrakesh placed third on this year's survey, while Fez came in fifth place, and Essaouira in seventh. It seems the unique visuals of Marrakesh, combined with excellent shopping and a robust luxury hotel scene, make it one of the continent's most appealing urban experiences. As one respondent put it, "We loved the old city and all the fascinating sites. The central medina was amazing, with all the winding alleys, shops, and places to eat."
Jerusalem placed second on this year's list, with respondents raving about the old city's extraordinary historical and cultural legacy. As one reader wrote, "Fascinating city.
Tragic, beautiful, rough around the edges. Friendly people, great food, and lively nightlife. Hard to find a place with as much history and diversity."

WBA Hall of Fame honoree. Score: 85.86
Ever since the World Cup came to Cape Town in 2010, this exceptionally scenic city on the southern tip of Africa seems to have gone from strength to strength. Classic hotels such as Ellerman House, Cape Grace, and the Belmond Mount Nelson (fresh from a major face-lift) have been complemented by the arrival of contemporary contenders like the Silo and Gorgeous George. The city's culinary scene has taken off, with Luke Dale-Roberts' 2010 launch of the Test Kitchen setting off a wave of restaurant openings that today attract visitors from around the globe. From an arts perspective, too, Cape Town is now a major player, with 2017's launch of the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa on the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront confirming the city's position on the world stage. Some things, of course, don't change: the monumental Table Mountain and the rugged coastline around Hout Bay will always make this one of the continent's most strikingly beautiful destinations. One respondent summed it up by saying, "Cape Town is like Southern California on Steroids! What an amazing place. The Atlantic Ocean nearby, and Table Mountain right in the middle of the city, make it a sight to behold."

In a recent blog post, immigration studies scholar Tony Payan explains how the June 25 Supreme Court ruling on Arizona"s immigration law is a "balanced response" that addresses the concerns of both the federal and state government.
While the high court reaffirmed that states do not have sovereignty to enforce illegal immigration laws, it also upheld parts of the Arizona law such as the "show me your papers provision," which gives state and local law enforcement agencies the right to ask for immigration documentation from someone who is stopped for any other violation. Ultimately, Payan notes, the ruling encourages the U.S. Congress to act on creating a more effective federal immigration policy.

|Co-production and co-creation using self-service technology: the application of service-dominant logic
|Hilton, T. and Hughes, T.
|Conference paper
Research on how customers engage in the co-creation processes envisaged by the Servicedominant logic paradigm is currently limited and even less work has been published on frameworks for organizations to manage the co-creation process. This conceptual paper examines a particular aspect of co-creation: co-production as a result of the application of self-service technology (SST). We propose a conceptual framework for co-production, which emphasizes the need to understand productivity from the point of view of the customer, and demonstrate how this can be applied in both consumer (b2c) and interorganizational(b2b) contexts. We conclude that service organizations might benefit from clearly identifying co-production with task-performance, and co-creation with the valueattributing aspects of the customer service experience. Both aspects generate a range of design and management challenges for suppliers particularly the need to understand the cocreation process 'outputs' desired by customers and the full costs of moving away from person to person interaction.

I design and make wedding rings with the intention to express love, respect, passion and a long lasting commitment between two people. Love is for everyone not just for Adam and Eve! I'm very happy to help you to choose the right wedding ring for you and your partner. I love to add stories and secrets into my work. For example interconnecting spirals on both wedding rings or curves that slide into each other and match perfectly together. Examples of this you will find in my collection.
How it works:
Your commission starts with a chat! This may be done via email, phone or in Person. If we are not able to meet in person don't worry, email will also work just fine. I work online regularly with many of my clients from all over the world.
I will ask lots of questions to get a feeling of your ideas. Sketchbook in hand we will draw our way through the conversation. A little background information also helps. How you met, your hobbies etc. This gives me a feel for your style and will help in creating a very personal pair of rings for you both. It's a good idea to do a quick sketch of your idea before we meet. It doesn't have to be a good drawing! A very bad scribble is a perfect starting point for us to work on.
If you are not really sure how the final piece should look it's also no problem. During our discussion I will offer you a few ideas and drawings until we find an idea that you are totally happy with.
Finally we will discuss which stones and precious metals to use. Once the design is fixed I can offer you a price and an approximate delivery time. Your piece will be handcrafted with love, care and fine attention to detail.
A few examples
"Love is like a tree, it grows of its own accord, it puts down deep roots into our whole being."
― Victor Hugo
14k Yellow Gold
I love this design. I've done it a few times and it always works out great. The wedding couple bring me a few leaves from their favourite tree. Maybe a tree that has a special meaning to their relationship. I then cast the leaf and forge it into a solid gold ring.

A wedding between the stars!! A melted planet like structure and black star sapphire
They told me about their life and about their farm. We wrote emails back and forth discussing motifs and what they both have in common.
Then Simone said that they simply love to sit on their balcony after a good days work, talk together and enjoy the view.
"That's it!", I said.
"Can you send me a picture of what you see from your balcony".
Intertwined wedding rings / 14k Yellow Gold
"But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls."
Kahlil Gibran
Our lives are unique so why should we settle for mass production! Especially in the case of selecting wedding rings.

Outreach and service linkage are key for engaging marginalized populations, such as homeless youth, in services. Research to date has focused primarily on engaging individuals already receiving some services through emergency shelters, clinics, or other programs. Less is known about those who are not connected to services and, thus, likely the most vulnerable and in need of assistance. The current study sought to engage non-service-connected homeless youth (N = 79) into a strengths-based outreach and advocacy intervention. Youth were randomly assigned to receive 6 months of advocacy that focused on linking youth to a drop-in center (n = 40) or to a crisis shelter (n = 39). All youth were assessed at baseline and 3, 6, and 9 months post-baseline. Findings indicated that youth prefer drop-in center services to the shelter. Also, the drop-in center linkage condition was associated with more service linkage overall (B = 0.34, SE = 0.04, p < 0.01) and better alcohol-l [B = −0.39, SE = 0.09, t(75) = −4.48, p < 0.001] and HIV-related outcomes [B = 0.62, SE = 0.10, t(78) = 6.34, p < 0.001] compared to the shelter linkage condition. Findings highlight the importance of outreach and service linkage for reconnecting service-marginalized youth, and drop-in centers as a primary service option for homeless youth.

(When in the world are you going to settle down
And start doing something with yourself?)
[Hook 2X]
I know what you wanna know
(An intellectual, fate offers no hint)
I see what you wanna see
(I think I might like to see that)
[Verse 1: Fat Jon]
Now you know the way I wanna be
You see the direction, create the cross sections
Movin' me to places to soak up the lessons
Dried my tears years ago with no question
But you seem better from the back
More space to function with
Motion's not restricted to what I give it
Completely fill your area up like liquid
No untouched surface
Greater than what's less than is expected of all men
Projected a few before you elected a few
Who knew? I would be the one you had to have
Full body massage with the words of my choice
Sound healin' is produced with the science of man
You should keep your eye on it if you rely on it
Chase whatever makes you wanna change vapor
Understanding consequences
What exactly is this? Who exactly are you?
Are you me enough to know what I know and
Do you you see enough?
I watch it all begin to spin over and over again
But it's never the same I feel
And when I finish the sentence what really remains?
Now I'm boardin' the plane to go exist on another
[Hook 2X]
[Verse 2 Fat Jon]
(Close) I haven't been this way with most
Learned aggression, hate, and love too
A lotta what I think is based off my perception
As I travel, it makes sense, movin' me mo'
And times change
Like you fallin' on your knees, personalities are cemented
In this present state, most people become content
No thoughts of more, only buildin' off the now but
Then never changes, at least we never see it
We want what will be to be beautiful and just to happen
(But it doesn't work that way)
(It all stays the same at the end of the evenin')
You lay and contemplate sunrise and sundown
Who made the best decisions?
Was it you, somebody you know, or a stranger?
And if anything, what did you learn?
Are you equipped to just weep? (No shame)
Because you know what life is
A collection of seconds that we watch go by
And some times for not and at sometimes for
But all times livin' with a question on ya mind
Pain and freedom, fear and independence
Chances, mind games, war, and only breathin'
Unknown to known facts, insecurities
Confidence, sadness, faith, and what you know now
[Hook 2x]

Pastor John Gray Claims His Affair Was Only EMOTIONAL On The Real
What's up you guys?
So, in case you missed it, Pastors John and Aventer Gray were on The Real talk show today and they addressed the allegations and the widespread rumors that Pastor John Gray cheated on his wife, Aventer Gray.
On today's episode of The Real Pastors John and Aventer Gray sat down to talk about some of the controversy that has surrounded them, from the $200K Lambo truck, to sitting down with Donald Trump, and even the voicemails John allegedly left the mistress. Yes, Adrienne specifically asked him about those voicemails. So let's get into that first.
Leave a comment and let me know what you think about John and Aventer Gray's appearance on The Real today. Do you think they were being forthcoming? And do you think they owe it to their congregation to speak on their marriage problems at all? Leave a comment and let me know what you think!

Our online students enjoy the benefits of flexible learning but we realize that independent learning may be a difficult transition for some. A very common difficulty with online learning is staying on-track with your course timelines. Your online teacher will provide you with suggested dates to complete your work. We encourage you to try to follow these dates. Sometimes you will fall behind - that's normal. Here are some suggestions which may help you stay on-track with your online course.
Create both monthly and daily schedules.
Talk to your online teacher to determine the estimated number of hours required each week to be stay on-track. Create a daily, weekly and monthly schedule of work times. Take into account holidays and periods of time that you know will put pressure on your work schedule.
Your daily schedule should clearly state which classes you will work on, what time you will work, and when you will take breaks.
Set due dates.
Assignments, quizzes, exams and units of study (also called modules or chapters) often serve as effective benchmarks. Your online teacher will provide you a suggested dates of when certain benchmarks are due. Match your coursework to dates on your schedule to help you maintain focus and track progress. Keep in mind the last day to hand in any course work for marks for Semester I is Wednesday January 16th, 2019. Final Exams are to be written on or before Friday January 25th, 2019.
Ask your teacher to review your plan.
Your online teacher can assist you in making sure that your schedule aligns to the completion of the course. Online teachers can provide feedback on your schedule and due dates and provide guidance based on what has worked for or challenged other students in their course.
Track your progress and edit your schedule if necessary.
Every learner is unique and the time it will take you to complete assignments may differ from the hours you originally set aside or those suggested by your teacher. If you find yourself ahead or behind your schedule, take time to revisit and make changes to your schedule. It may seem like extra work at first, but the long term benefits are significant.
Create a workspace that is free of distractions.
Be intentional about the space in which you work on the course and study for exams.
At Home: When you sit down to begin your studies each day, put aside devices, turn off the TV, and set phone notifications to silent.
At School: Go to a space which you can work - the library, back of classroom, computer lab. Set your phone notifications to silent. Focus on the work you need to do, try not to get distracted. If another student is taking the same online class - you can work together. Working together may be a motivation for both of you to stay on schedule.
Effective time management and goal setting skills are critical to life-long success. In working to successfully complete your online course, you can develop those skills while at the same time realizing your educational goals.
Best of luck and remember… we are here to help.

The Origin of Language: Aspects of the Discussion from Condillac to Wundt
The Origin of Language: Aspects of the Discussion from Condillac to Wundt
This book is intended as a vindication of the--today very unpopular--view of Condillac, Thomas Reid, and Monboddo that language is an invention. It aims to show that their theories are more plausible than is supposed by the many commentators who see them through the eyes of Herder and his successors. I am not giving merely a historical account, but a definite assessment of what lines of approach to the subject have led to valuable results and what lines have led into blind alleys. The book will, I hope, be of particular interest to those who are out of sympathy with the claim, so often made by religious writers, that language is an absolute and unbridgeable distinction between man and other mammals.
The ideas of Condillac, Reid, and Monboddo on the origin of language may fairly be taken as representative of Enlightenment thinking on the subject. The transition to views widely accepted in the nineteenth century is not a straight-forward sequence in time. Herder's essay appeared in 1772, a year earlier than Monboddo's first volume. Nor would it be true to say that a given author adopts a standpoint characteristic of the Enlightenment--or of its opponents--on all subjects at all stages of his career, or even within the compass of a single work. Herder Ideen zur Philosophie der Geschichte der Menschheit (1784-91) is one of the most enlightened books of its century, but not as regards its views on the origin of language.
In speaking of the Enlightenment generally, I certainly mean to include Locke and Hume, but not Kant. I am aware that there is a certain arbitrariness in thus excluding the author of the essay 'Beantwortung der Frage: Was ist Aufklärung?' But my point is that Kant's metaphysical approach to psychological problems is totally at variance with the way they were treated by the British empiricists, and initiated attitudes which alienated nineteenth-century thinkers from these philosophers. If the Enlightenment writers on language and Enlightenment philosophers generally are more intelligible than their successors (including, in philosophy, Kant, Fichte, Schelling, Hegel, and Humboldt), it is not because the latter are more . . .

Athens, OH 11 September 2017 –
This past summer was probably the best summer I have ever had. The first month of May consisted of traveling to Greece with my best friend for a study abroad internship. This happened through the OU Global Consulting Program which Dr. Costas Vassiliadis, from the electrical engineering department, supervised.
It was an incredible experience that I will never forget. The program was two weeks long and took place in the city of Thessaloniki. Thessaloniki is located in the upper peninsula of Greece right on the coast. The city is beautiful!
During the day, all the students met at the American College of Thessaloniki (ACT) to work on our consulting projects. We were split up into groups of 5-6 students and 2-3 of those students were from the ACT. Each group was pared with a different company to consult.
My team was pared with the Chalkidiki Flour Mills. This company is a global flour mill company that produces specialty flour blends that they ship out to other places. My team had to implement a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) program for the company. It was a great learning opportunity.
Other than the project, we had socials, special dinners, and traveled to other cities in the free time. I also loved shopping in the city after class. Another great opportunity was being able to tour monasteries and Mount Olympus on the weekend.
After the two weeks were over, my friend Gabby and I island hopped for an extra week. We visited Ios, Santorini, and Mykonos.
Ios was incredible because it was a mountainous island that a lot of college students liked to travel to. It was cheaper than the other islands, so we stayed for three nights. We did not want to leave. We stayed at a family-owned hotel that had a gorgeous view on top of a cliff. One of our favorite things about Ios was renting ATVs to ride around the island on.
Santorini was our next stop, but we only stayed for one night. Santorini is located on a cliff and it was not what I expected at all! When looking at the city from the water, it looked like little bird nests were located on the peaks of the mountains. As we moved in closer, we were amazed by the beautiful architecture and colors of the buildings. I loved this city, but it was very touristy.
Our last stop was Mykonos before heading to Athens. Mykonos was my favorite island. We met students from the University of Barcelona that hung out with us every day. I think being with a fun group made this island the best. Mykonos is very hilly with a beautiful town located on the shore. I loved all the white
buildings and beautiful beaches. I definitely want to travel back to this island.
Athens was our final destination. Dr. V was our tour guide since he lives near Athens. He showed us the Parthenon, monuments, and the museum.
Studying abroad was probably one of the best decisions I have ever made.

The world's largest social network rolled out the app update at the end of last year, but users have since discovered that the app requires permission to not only read SMS and MMS messages, but also to modify calendar events and send emails to guests without the owner's' knowledge.
Such has been the furore around this – which is perhaps not surprising considering the leaks of Edward Snowden and yesterday's Data Privacy Day, Facebook outlined their reasons for the access on the Facebook Mobile Apps.
"We realise that some of these permissions sound scary, so we'd like to provide more info about how we use them," says a spokesperson. The web page goes onto detail what exactly Facebook does with owner data. The company reveals that adding a phone number to an account can allow them to confirm phone numbers automatically by sending the confirmation code via text message.
Reacting to the news, Kaspersky Lab senior security researcher David Emm said that it is clear that Facebook wants to go down this route to employ two-factor authentication but said that the timing couldn't have been much worse.
"It would seem that this is needed to implement two-factor authentication on the device - in the words of one of their engineers, 'so we can automatically intercept login approvals SMS messages for people that have turned two factor authentication for their accounts, or for phone confirmation messages when you add a phone number to your Facebook account'", Emm told SCMagazineUK.com.
"The logic is clear, but the key, it seems to me, lies in the word 'automatically'. Surely the app doesn't need to do this automatically," he added. "Facebook could simply prompt me to type in the code manually. Or, at the very least, provide this option.
"This may be a perfectly innocent feature but in the light of growing concerns about online privacy, such an option would help to allay people's fears."

Neil Young, of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, has correctly admitted that songs don't change the world.
Young, now 62, is still singing and touring and hopefully still inspiring young minds. He had hoped to change the world with his music, but has since realized that music may inspire a few people, but it will certainly not change the world.
Young has partnered with Jonathan Goodwin to convert his 1959 car to operate on an electric battery.
"We're going to change the world; we're going to create a car that will allow us to stop giving our wealth to other countries for petroleum."
"The technology to make a practical and affordable electric car has been around for a long time," Goodwin said. "There are all sorts of ways of doing it and all sorts of ways to work out how to make it work on a national scale."
Hopefully, Young's mission to change the world will be furthered by the successful conversion of his car from gasoline fuel to power by electric battery.
Hopefully, one day soon, we can be a self-sufficient nation without dependency on governments that are not on the same page, and sometimes not even in the same book.

Retargeting in the sphere of marketing, is paid strategy where ads are placed in front of your website visitors even after they've left your website and carried on browsing elsewhere.
So what actually is it?
Retargeting uses coding in your website's HTML (known as a Pixel) where you can advertise to website visitors. Through this clever bit of coding, your ads become visible for consumers when they visit other websites, in their emails, and even in apps!
The beauty of retargeting is proven, as most users react well to retargeting ads. This paid strategy is key for converting potential customers who didn't convert on your site on their first visit – proving to serve as a helpful remind to buy from your brand! You can target your past visitors on many different platforms, through search ads, banner ads etc. Remember this as your retargeted ads nudge visitors back onto your website!
Where can consumers see your retargeted ads?
To set up your retargeting strategy, you need a Google AdWords account, add the pixel to your own website and from this you can create your remarketing list; finally choosing if you wish your campaigns to be shown in searches or through Google's display network.
Facebook: We'll start off this list with the most popular social media platform that internet users could see your ad on! See, instead of just boosting posts to increase reach, try something a retargeting strategy as something different to reach users who have visited your website before. Once you have this setup, visitors to your website can be tracked. This allows your ad campaign to use a custom audience of visitors. Before you know it, they'll swear they've seen the same ad on their Facebook for several days now and are back onto your website! Remember, you'd rather your message be seen by the right people and not just anybody that'll ignore it at first glance!
Banner Ads: When retargeting past website visitors using Google's display network, there is a massive scope to reach a gigantic audience. Display network ads reach 90% of internet users, with countless websites displaying banner ads. These ads allow you to reach out in a different manner as they don't have to correspond or have any similarities with the website the user is currently browsing! And the fact that it's, y'know, a massive banner across the top of the webpage (or on the side) means it'd be quite hard to ignore.
Emails: Emailing is a popular method to retarget site visitors who ditch their online shopping carts. Targeted emails remind them of promotions and the fact that they've still got stuff left in their cart. You'd be surprised how many people simply forget to complete the purchase, or intend to leave the cart and return the day after (but forget for weeks or longer!). Email retargeting is a proven approach to recovering conversions.
Search Ads: These ads allow you to really target people who have both visited your site as well as searching for specific or related keywords. For consumers who can sometimes be forgetful when trying to make buying decisions, this is great when they re-search these items. And if the site is running a search ad retargeting campaign, the ad would be visible through search results.
All in all, YES, you should use a retargeting strategy! You obviously want a higher rate of conversions. Retargeting ad impressions increase this, hence more visitors will convert with more ad views. There are plenty of statistics out there that have already shown retargeting strategies can be successful. But when you're told that retargeting can increase reach, branded search, conversions, site lift, sales and general brand awareness – then you'll realise first-hand the potential benefits this has for your brand.

I think blogging about the weather is the dullest topic one can choose. It is only relevant to the neighborhood, and then only for a very short period of time. That being said, we just had a tornado warning here (WV), part of a fast moving storm front from the Ohio area. It livened things here up for a bit, but then we don't get tornados here, not in the last 35 years I can vouch for. Too many hills, no flat areas. Come to think of it, I don't know how to identify a tornado when the straight-line view is all trees to the horizon, which is close by with the hills. So far the power hasn't even flickered, so I came here to update the old blog. See, boring, right?
The cataract surgery has left me with skewed vision in my right eye. I have some close vision, which is good, but the distance vision (anything past arm's length) is very fuzzy. I am still using eyedrops, so maybe the visoin will continue to change, although it has been 8 days. I see the doctor next week.
I bid on an item on ebay but misread the description. So I had to go in and cancel the bid, something I have never done before. I thought I was bidding on a 10 quart stock pot, but instead it was an 8 quart one, which I already have. So dumb. I have been an active buyer on ebay since 1997, back when I had to explain what ebay was to skeptical friends. In all, I have had very few complaints over the years. A few unuseable items (like the artificial Christmas tree where the top and the bottom didn't match) but I figure that goes with the territory; I've bought things off-line, so to speak, that were a mistake, and just chalk it up to experience. Hope there isn't any more to this erroneous bid.
C is doing better with his pool therapy three times a week. (He fell and broke his tibia right behind his kneecap two months ago.) He comes home completely beat, but with better flexion. Still no weight bearing on that leg. He swings a mean crutch, I'll give him that. There was so much he helped us with, we really appreciate just how much he did now that the jobs fall to us (old people). The horses in particular. But even things like cleaning the gutters of leaves are a problem when the one on the ladder is in his 70s, and the one doing the ladder-holding is me, scared of heights.
I read a forum for knitters/crocheters and have watched in amazement one particular topic. The title of the thread is "hand washing knitted things" sounds peaceful enough, right? Well, about 10 comments in the fur started flying, over what hand-washing is, and who does what and why, and aren't my methods better than yours... and so on. The flaming is still going on, it is 26 pages long now, and the original post has long since been swept away in name-calling and ugliness. Boggles the mind. Some people need to get a life.
Bumper sticker of the day: "My people skills are just fine. It's my tolerance to idiots that needs work."

An Army drill sergeant has been charged with sexually attacking 12 female soldiers, threatening to have some of them kicked out of the service if they rebuffed him, court documents show.
Staff Sgt. Angel Sanchez allegedly preyed on the women while stationed in Afghanistan until 2012 and then at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri.
A two-day pre-trial hearing was held this week to determine if Sanchez, who was removed from his drill sergeant duties and transferred to a desk job, will be court-martialed, base spokeswoman Tiffany Wood said.
Sanchez's defense lawyer told The Associated Press that he has "serious questions about the credibility of the witnesses making these accusations."
A military charge sheet lays out the allegations in graphic detail, alleging that Sanchez preyed on women in barracks latrines, a stairwell, a closet, a guard tower, and his office — brutally forcing oral sex on some and groping others.
In several of the cases, Sanchez made the victim "fear that she would be kicked out of the Army if she did not comply," the charge sheet says.
He is also accused of sexually harassing the women under him, telling one gay soldier, "Have you ever had sex with a male? I can change that" and assuring another servicemember, "I know you guys are married but it's OK if you have a deployment buddy."
Military Sex Assault Jumps 50 Percent in Past YearMay 2, 201401:47
Sanchez was charged May 13, two days before the Pentagon released a report that revealed it received 1,400 reports of sexual harassment last year and substantiated more than half of them.
Those numbers were actually dwarfed by reports of sexual assaults. The Pentagon said there were more than 5,000 of those in 2013, a 50 percent increase over the previous year.

Billionaire's grant to Sierra Club continues support for Beyond Coal campaign and attracts another $30 million in matching gifts.
Billionaire Michael Bloomberg is donating $30 million to bolster the Sierra Club's 13-year-old campaign to end America's reliance on coal, one of the biggest sources of greenhouse gases. The grant will bring the former New York City mayor's support for the program to $80 million since 2011.
In reporting the gift Wednesday, the Sierra Club said it obtained a matching $30 million in combined donations from more than a dozen additional funders. They include the Hewlett Foundation, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Yellow Chair Foundation, the Grantham Foundation and the Sandler Family Foundation.
The money will support the environmental group's Beyond Coal campaign, which uses grassroots activism to fight coal-based power and push wind, solar and geothermal projects. The Sierra Club said it will also use the funds to counter fossil fuel industry opposition to President Barack Obama's Clean Power Plan, which requires existing coal-fired power stations to curb greenhouse gas emissions.
With the increased funding, the Sierra Club will expand its goal to retiring or getting pledges to retire half of the nation's power plans by 2017, up from one-third by 2020, according to Mary Anne Hitt, director of the Beyond Coal campaign. Since 2010, coal-fired plants generating more than 26,000 megawatts have closed, and stations representing 51,000 megawatts more are set to shut down soon—totaling 187 stations. Bloomberg's 2011 grant enabled the Beyond Coal campaign to add 180 staffers and expand to 45 states.
"Coal's days are numbered," Bloomberg said. "It is an outdated technology, it is holding back our economy, and it is hurting our health." The Sierra Club's anti-coal work has had a "measureable, big difference in a short amount of time," he said.
Two months ago, Bloomberg and California climate advocates Mark Heising and Elizabeth Simons gave $48 million to launch a program to help states and municipalities shift to renewable energy.
Bloomberg is the world's 14th richest man, with a $36.3 billion fortune from his financial data company Bloomberg LP, according to Forbes. He served as mayor of New York City for three terms, from 2002 to 2013, and helped transform the city into a global leader on climate change. His charity organization, Bloomberg Philanthropies, also supports gun control, education, public health and the arts.
The Sierra Club launched its Beyond Coal campaign in 2002 in response to policy changes by President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney that fostered continued growth of the coal industry. Fossil fuel companies spent millions of dollars over the past decade fighting proposed greenhouse gas regulations and the expansion of renewable energy.
Despite the industry's efforts, America's coal consumption and production have rapidly declined in recent years, driven in part by lower natural gas prices, slowing international demand, the retirement of coal-fired power plants and impending federal regulations.
While the Clean Power Plan "closes one of the coal industry's biggest loopholes—being able to emit 100 percent of their carbon pollution into the air for free—it is only one piece of the puzzle," Hitt said. The plan doesn't address the other pollution problems associated with the fossil fuel, such as mountaintop-removal mining or coal ash spills.
"Our old grant from Bloomberg Philanthropies is running into its final hours," she said. "Clean energy has come into its own, and can hold its own against coal now."
The environmental organization and the former mayor differ on one major aspect of a post-coal energy economy: Bloomberg supports replacing the fossil fuel with natural gas, which releases much less carbon dioxide, and thus would seemingly be better for curbing climate change than coal. However, recent research shows that leaks from natural gas drilling and transportation release high levels of methane, a greenhouse gas more potent for global warming than carbon dioxide.
In a 2012 Washington Post op-ed, Bloomberg and George P. Mitchell, who pioneered hydraulic fracturing technology, wrote, "Fracking for natural gas can be as good for our environment as it is for our economy and our wallets, but only if done responsibly."
By contrast, the Sierra Club has increasingly called for bans on natural gas drilling because of its public health and environmental impacts. Hitt said the differences between Bloomberg and the organization's position on natural gas don't affect the Beyond Coal partnership.
"Our main focus is retiring coal plants and replacing them with renewable energy projects," she said. Bloomberg Philanthropies "is very comfortable with that."

PIZZERIA ORTICA is located near one of the largest shopping malls in Orange County, CA. It is easy to find, and parking is good. [Address & phone number provided at the end of this review.] It is an oblong restaurant that has a patio at the front end, and interior that is quite nice. On the night we decided to have pizza, we neglected to make reservations. The staff was great, and found us a table on the patio.
While not a fancy restaurant, it was much nicer than some pizzeria restaurants we have dined in over the years. It smelled great, the staff was very busy, yet cheerful, and welcoming. We were seated, told the specials and, at our request, were left alone so that we could explore the menu, and the wine list.
The menu is substantial, and not the standard red table cloth fare found in many faux Italian restaurants. The David Myer Group really tried and has succeeded in developing choices not found everywhere. The Antipasto list is filled with interesting items and the price range varies from $7.00 to $13.00. We decided on the Charred Mediterranean Octopus, ($12.00) Yukon Gold Potato, Celery hearts and Capers as one choice. Our second Antipasto choice was a shredded and wonderfully favored Chicken special, ($8.00) that was excellent. The dish was Conserva di Pollo. This consisted of olive oil, shredded chicken, Parmigiano, vegetables, and balsamic dressing.
The wine list is excellent with a good percentage of Italian wines, as well as nice California selections. We decided to order a couple of glasses of Verdicchio Umani – a dry Italian wine that was perfect with the Octopus and the Chicken.
There are 12 pizze on the Menu as well as 5 Paste. Since the name of the restaurant is PIZZERIA ORTICA we opted for pizza as our dinner choice. After a long and careful discussion of the choices we decided to go with a Guanciale Pizza for $16.00. (Guanciale is basically a bacon made from the cheek of pigs.) We accompanied the pizza with a red wine . A Montepulciano d' Abruzzo – a wine we have had many times – as it seemed to be the wine for this pizza. It was.
By the time for desert, we had met the General Manager of the restaurant, Patrick Hotchkiss, as well as the Executive chef Justin Miller, and chatted about the restaurant with them.
We have had pizza everywhere from Rome, Siena, and Florence, as well as restaurants in The Marche in Italy, to New York, New Haven and California in the United States. PIZZERIA ORTICA serves some of the best we have had anywhere, and including California.
Dinner for two, including wine, was $73.27. We feel that given the quality of the ingredients, the service and the overall dining experience it was well worth it. We will go back when we can, that's for sure!

Magazine article Anglican Journal
Saskatchewan Community Struggles with Reconciliation
Article excerpt
After the killing of a young Indigenous man near Biggar, Sask., in August, local Anglicans and Lutherans have been confronted with the challenge of putting what they have learned about reconciliation into practice, says the Rev. Mark Kleiner, priest-in-charge at St. Paul's Anglican Church and Redeemer Lutheran Church in Biggar.
On August 9,22-year-old Colten Boushie was on his way home to Red Pheasant First Nation from an after-noon of swimming when he and his friends stopped at the farm of Gerald Stanley. Boushie's cousin, Eric Meechance, who was with him at the time, said their truck had gotten a flat tire and they had pulled into Stanley's yard to fix it. However, an altercation reportedly ensued that ended in Boushie's shooting. RCMP have charged Stanley with second-degree murder; he has pleaded not guilty.
In the days and weeks that followed, there was a torrent of vitriolic and racist comments on social media from some members of the town's non-Indigenous community.
Kleiner, who served Biggar for five years before assuming a new post in Saskatoon in October, says the incident has revealed a deep undercurrent of racial animosity in the area that has been festering for years. The community is one where Indigenous and non-Indigenous people often do not interact. (Neither of his congregations have Indigenous members.) Many of the non-Indigenous people in Biggar and on the surrounding farms also believe that Indigenous people are responsible for a rise in crime in the area, he said.
"In the wake of the shooting, what really stunned me was the extent to which people around town hunkered down into a very defensive posture," he said. "Regardless of the circumstances, which are going to be discussed in the courts, there is a family here whose loved one is dead. And I wasn't encountering empathy, just basic human empathy. …

Mark Leslie's Silly Christmas Lyric Meme
The Rules: Pick a Christmas lyric that you've always had a question about and discuss it. Then either tag one or more people or either tag nobody and invite your readers to tag themselves and enjoy discussing the subject on their own.
Feel free to use the "Cousin Eddie" image by copying the following code and replacing the '(' and ')' with '<' and '>' :
(a href="http://markleslie.blogspot.com/2006/12/mark-leslies-silly-christmas-lyric.html")(img src="http://static.flickr.com/136/321235351_90abf16624_m.jpg" alt="Mark Leslie's Silly Christmas Lyric meme" /)
The Song: The Christmas Song (by Nat King Cole)
Lyrics In Question: "And so I'm offering this simply phrase, to kids from one to ninety-two; although it's been said many times many ways: Merry Christmas to you."
The Comment: Nothing against Nat King Cole or the multitude of people who sing this song. I, in fact sing this song all the time. Even when it's not Christmas time. It's just a fun song, an easy tune and I find it so wonderfully relaxing.
And I'm not even going to take the "easy one" about this song and discuss the whole politically incorrect "folks dressed up like Eskimos" -- that's a freebee for another who wants to run with it.
But I've always been bothered a little bit by some of the lyrics. "To kids from one to ninety-two."
What about kids that aren't yet one year old? Why haven't they been included in the Christmas wishes? I suppose when I was that age I never noticed that the singer didn't include me in his Christmas wishes, so I was never upset about it. But if I do get to live to the ripe age of 92, will I be worried that Nat King Cole and most of the others who sing this song don't include me in his Christmas wishes? Will I myself stop singing it? And how would I feel singing in a room to a group of people if there were any babies under 1 or people older than 92 there? Would I feel it necessary to stop and apologize to them that they weren't included and perhaps after finishing the song go and wish them their own unique "Merry Christmas to you" since the song didn't include them?
Don't get me wrong, I know that to make the thing rhyme the writer had to pick an age range. But I always wondered how 1 and 92 were decided on and not something like: "from my heart and out to you....." which still rhymes and is relatively inclusive. Or perhaps to keep the "kids" motif something like: "from kids out there like me and you" (implying, like the original lyrics do that we're all kids nomatter what age)
But maybe I worry too much about these things . . . and regardless of YOUR age: Merry Christmas to YOU!
Tagging: Anyone who wants to play as well as Franny, Rainy Pete, Lime and Gwen. (I'm rather curious to read your takes on different Christmas lyrics)

ooooh! It even comes with its own fabulous graphic too! and what better than cousin eddie! love it. i've got to think about this one and i may paossibly save it until next week's weird wednesday post but i will DEFINTIELY do this meme!
- Sheri said...
I'm doing it too! I've got a song that the words always bugged me and Hannah asked me about it just the other day!
I guess when you're 93 and older the ol'Merry Christmas ain't what it used to be.
- Rainypete said...
Damn your dark and twisted mind! A chance to stretch my off balance brain is just what the doctor ordered anyhow, and on a thirteenth no less! Here is my return shot.
As for kids under one, I think they get frequently overlooked because they usually drool when asked for a reply. People are generally unable to tell the difference between a contented drool and a drool of rage. When the poor little critter actually has a good wail to make its intentions clearer they find themselves stripped, redressed and muffled with some manner of food.
well mr. leslie, I will have to steal this html and think about it.
You make an interesting point. I would say, those children under one are thinking about the best thing on earth...boobie milk.
- Franny said...
LMFAO! Done! (Love a good rant!)
- Leesa said...
This is great! I'll have to give it a try :)
- Ameratis said...
OMG! I have always asked that too! Why one to 92? We have people living to 115 are they not included? Are 6 month olds not included?
So glad to know I am not the only one who is bothered by that phrase.
I'm gonna do it too... and your question is... deserving an answer.. ;-))
Franny tagged me with this one - and I've loved reading everyone else's take on it - nice work!

Direct To Garment (DTG) Technique:
Next on the line, we have Direct to Garment t-shirt printing method. Abbreviated as DTG, this is a relatively new technique in t-shirt printing industry.
It involves printing onto your garment directly- the T-shirt. If you don't have a clue how that works, imagine a large flatbed printer where your t-shirt is fed on its conveyer belt, and it gets printed on.
For a complete DTG setup, you'll require a DTG printer. Because this printer is quite expensive, this is not a good at home option. But if you're planning to print a lot (and I mean a lot) of t-shirts, and want to do one-offs faster, DTG is the way to go!
The quality of DTG end products is excellent (but not as good as that of screen printing). You'll obtain a soft print, which you can do in multiple colors. It works best on white garments. It can also work on a darker t-shirt, but the process is pretty challenging and will require some learning curve.
- Offers you full-color printing
- Supports one-off designs
- Low cost per item printing
- Soft, professional finish
- A bit slower for mass productions compared to screen printing
- Consumes a lot of space
- High initial cost

One of the glories of the Hurst cricket ground is the tree lined boundary. In a fitting tribute the OJ Club planted two memorial trees in honour of Cricket Week stalwarts, Hugh Thomas and Sue Hill.
Hugh Thomas, Words kindly written by John Bettridge
Hugh was a man of many roles. He arrived a Hurst in 1968 to teach Geography and Economics, became Housemaster of Eagle, head of his department and coached all the major sports. After retirement he retained his associations with Hurst and was a respected umpire for the 1st XI into his early eighties, touring with the school and old boys in that capacity over the years. As with so many the OJ Cricket Week became for him a feature akin to the coming of the seasons in his life. Apart from his umpiring his company and friendship were enjoyed by many over the years around the boundary and in the pavilion; not least at the daily sherry school that grew up in the hour before lunch.
He was known to many as "Uncle" Hugh; not a relation of course but the name stuck really because people recognised he had all the attributes that make an ideal uncle; you looked forward to seeing him; he had a genuine interest and cared about what you and your family were doing or planning, the conversation was entertaining and all was interspersed with a smattering of wisdom and a dry wit.
He was quite simply; a good man and a tree, near the pavilion, that is in full leaf in the cricket season, would seem to be the best proper memorial. An old friend standing nearby.
Sue Hill, words kindly written by Ian Buckeridge, OHJC President
It's something rather special when a school alumnus association commemorates someone who was neither pupil or a member of staff but then again Sue Hill was a rather special lady.
When she became engaged to George Hill, OJ in 1954 he was already Assistant Manager of OJ Cricket Week; by the time they married in 1958 he was on the staff at Hurst.
Sue was first introduced to OJ Cricket Week in 1957 when it was a very male environment, something Sue called all Batchelors and Booze, but she wasn't deterred. With the coming of her family and living "in" it was only natural for Sue to take her children over the road to North Field to watch the cricket and through her example and encouragement other OJ families visiting with their children.
Just when Sue had successfully encouraged families to come to Cricket Week, the Hills moved to Llandaff. They subsequently bought a caravan and became the first family to regularly camp for the duration of the week, Sue organising family activities, swims, sandwich making and encouraging other OJ's to follow suit and now the campsite is at the very heart of Cricket Week itself.
When Sue died earlier this year, The OJ Club wanted to commemorate her lasting contribution to Hurst and to OJ Cricket Week in particular. 2020 sees the centenary of OJ Cricket Week at Hurst and our Week has never been healthier, more inclusive or more family-friendly. No better illumination of this is the true story of the young son of an OJ who despite being at prep school in Repton, asked his parents to let him come to Hurst for senior school because of his happy childhood memories built around camping during Cricket Week every year from the day he was born. Today that OJ now brings his wife and growing family to camp at during cricket week.
Sue Hill's influence lives on in the inclusiveness and friendliness of Cricket Week and the OJ Club felt it hugely appropriate to plant a tree in her memory on North Field close to the pavilion and overlooking the cricket pitch.

At lunch today this old crankypants got good and fired up. We're at Padthai, and I was talking with a couple of the owners/workers about people who come into a Thai restaurant and order fried rice. "If day wanna flied lice, they should go to Chinese."
So, about this time in walks a young guy, and orders "chicken fried rice - with no vegetables." I couldn't help myself so I go "if day wanna flied lice, they should go to Chinese." Dude looks at me funny, and then I go to my wife "hell, why would somebody come to a Thai restaurant and order rice with no veggies? he oughta just go to McDonald's." The Thai dude goes "no with vegables, I don't get." The dude weakly says "I'm allergic to veggies." I go "no, you're allergic to a healthy colon. And seriously man, fried rice ain't Thai food." He goes "it's the only thing I like." I go "it would suck to be you." He goes "it does." I figured the best thing to do at this point was leave it alone. Besides, my wife was glaring at me anyhow.
The End.

A significant obstacle to overcome in the design of this residence was the site itself. Much of the property sloped over 30 percent, with large ponderosa pines and a sizeable amount of granite ledge.
The owners wanted a small house with a lot of thought given to the details. We selected the craftsman style as a starting point, fitting for the mountain environment, but also for another reason. Since the craftsman movement was influenced by asian architecture, it would provide an appropriate setting for the owners collection of asian art and furniture.
Each space was designed for a particular arrangement of furniture, keeping the house small. High ceilings add to the sense of scale, making rooms seem larger. A variety of deck locations make it easy to be outside at different times of the day, depending upon the season.
Shingles and siding patterns vary across the house, but are tied together by using a single dark color stain. As a counterpoint, the redwood deck and rail are left natural. Overall, the siting and coloring help the house recede into its surroundings.
