April 27, 2018, 5:23 pm
Welcome back to another Hoop-Ball Friday edition of DFS picks. Tonight we have three Game 6's on our hands and by the looks of it a lot of the value will be in one game. We have plenty of studs to choose from, but I think fitting an extra one over a superstar may be the way to go. Let's not waste any more time and jump right into this.
Point Guard
Ricky Rubio $7,400- The Jazz have a chance to close out the series on their home court after having an epic meltdown in the second half of Game 5. Rubio has been solid this entire series and comes in at a fair price tag. We've seen the upside with a triple-double in Game 3 and he has scored at least 35 DK points in the other games during this series. He's $1,000 cheaper than Donovan Mitchell and provides similar upside.
John Wall $10,400– Wall has been getting all of the run he can handle and is making the most out of it this series. He is $800 cheaper than Westbrook and Wall has quietly scored more DK points during playoffs than him. I will have some shares of Westbrook, but the $800 salary relief could go a long way on a slate like this.
Shooting Guard
Delon Wright $4,700– The Draftkings algorithm refuses to price Wright above $5,000. Fred VanVleet is still being listed as questionable and there is a good chance he sits another game out. He has only has one game this series where he hasn't played 25 or more minutes and has been closing out games as well. Wright is not a player who needs to rely on scoring to be effective as he racks up defensive stats and chips in with rebounding and assists. He will likely be fairly chalky coming off of a strong performance, but he seems like one of the safer value options to choose from.
Victor Oladipo $7,900– Ok, this is a guy who at one point during the series was pieced at $9,000. After a string of poor shooting nights Oladipo has seen one of larger pricing decreases, but has still managed to average above 35 DK points during the series. We just need him to literally hit two to three more shots and we are skating to value.
Small Forward
Jae Crowder $4,600– We finally got to see big minutes for Crowder and he did not disappoint. It was largely due to Rudy Gobert and Derrick Favors struggling with foul trouble, but he was effective with his minutes. I would not expect another scoring outburst again, but the rebounds are real and he can accumulate his points in multiple ways as long as he is getting the minutes.
LeBron James $12,200– The price just keeps on rising and it is still hard to avoid him. He is muscling this team and playing as much as he can to do so. I shouldn't have to sit here and talk up James, but while I will have some shares, the salary relief from going down to Westbrook or Wall comes in handy.
Power Forward
Markieff Morris $4,500– This is stupid cheap for a guy who is starting and playing good minutes. Morris is very up and down, but even is downs offer a floor that is safe at this price range and his ups could be 30-40 DK points. I like a lot of Wizards on this slate, but Morris might offer the most value of the bunch.
Kevin Love $6,800- Love, like Oladipo, has suffered price a serious price decrease from a strong of poor shooting nights. Now I am not taking away from the Pacers' defense, which has been incredible, but we have to expect improvement after shooting 4-of-21 over the last two games. He is by no means a cash play, but I'd take an extra look for your GPP's.
Marcin Gortat $4,700- Gortat steps in as another elite value play on the Wizards side of the ball. He played 34 minutes in their last game and posted a double-double for 31 DK points. While I like Gortat and Morris, they cut into each other's rebound totals. With that being said they are cheap enough where we would take 25 DK points from both and that could easily happen.
Rudy Gobert $7,000- I much prefer spending up on Gobert to Valacunias on this slate. Yes we finally saw Valacunias play fourth quarter minutes, but just how often can we expect Dwane Casey to do that? Gobert had some slight foul troubles in the last one and still managed 30 DK points. The Jazz want to close this series out and Gobert feels like one of the safer center options if you have the money.
Honorable Mention
Myles Turner $4,900- Turner is another player who suffered because of foul issues. He was forced to play only 22 minutes and in his absence we got to see Domantas Sabonis step up as a scorer. I think they are both very much in play again, but I am leaning towards Turner in hopes that Sabonis' production was correlated with Turner's foul trouble.
Kelly Oubre $4,200– Just when you think we are done talking about Wizards I manage to sneak another one in. Oubre has been quietly playing minutes in the mid-twenties and now Otto Porter is done for the series. After mentioning the possibility of playing Gortat and Morris together it would have been hard to play Morris, Oubre and Gortat together. Two out of three may still make the most sense but as of now it would be extremely hard to avoid Oubre.
Thanks for reading and as always you could find me on Twitter @MikeApotria. Good luck on tonight's slate.
Fantasy News
December 9, 2019, 4:47 pmDejounte MurrayPG, San Antonio Spurs
Gregg Popovich implied that Dejounte Murray is no longer on a minutes restriction.
This isn't too surprising after Murray played 32 minutes on Friday, but it's welcome news for his owners. Derrick White and Patty Mills are still in the mix at point guard, but Murray is showing positive signs recently.

December 9, 2019, 4:39 pmJake LaymanSF, Minnesota Timberwolves
Jake Layman (left toe sprain) will not play on Monday.
This is the ninth consecutive game that he has missed. The injury has overshadowed a solid start to the season for Layman.

December 9, 2019, 4:34 pmAndrew WigginsSF, Minnesota Timberwolves
Andrew Wiggins (left thumb sprain) is considered questionable to face the Warriors on Monday.
Wiggins played 29 minutes on Sunday, but it's uncertain whether he can play two games in two days. At 24.6 points per game, he is on pace for the best scoring average of his career. Keita Bates-Diop could see more action if Wiggins does not suit up.

December 9, 2019, 4:29 pmJeff TeaguePG, Minnesota Timberwolves
Jeff Teague (left ankle soreness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game.
Teague got onto the court for 24 minutes on Sunday against the Lakers. He scored 12 points including two triples. Shabazz Napier could be in line for more minutes if Teague cannot play.

December 9, 2019, 4:21 pmKarl-Anthony TownsC, Minnesota Timberwolves
Karl Anthony-Towns (right knee tendinopathy) is considered probable for Monday against the Suns.
Towns was able to play on Sunday and scored 19 points but only made 1-of-7 attempts from behind the arc. It's positive news that he is expected to play the second half of a back-to-back.
Source: Timberwolves PR on Twitter
December 9, 2019, 4:18 pmShabazz NapierPG, Minnesota Timberwolves
Shabazz Napier (right hamstring strain) is probable for Monday's game.
Napier had a nice game on Sunday despite only playing for 15 minutes. His role prevents him from being particularly valuable in standard leagues, though.

December 9, 2019, 3:42 pmKawhi LeonardSF, Los Angeles Clippers
Updating a previous report, Kawhi Leonard (knee maintenance) has officially been ruled out of Monday's game vs. the Pacers.
This was the expectation all along. The only surprise here is how many rhetorical acrobatics the Clippers have performed with his injury designation, from "load management" to "knee soreness" and now "knee maintenance." The truth is that the Clippers' brass acquired Kawhi Leonard's services on the condition that he alone could dictate his availability for regular season games and Kawhi has understandably taken advantage of his leverage. He's annoying to have in fantasy, but he's earned the right as one of the best players on the planet and he hasn't even met his upside this season, sporting a career-low 44% field goal shooting. When that number returns to the mean, watch out.

December 9, 2019, 3:41 pmJA MorantPG, Memphis Grizzlies
Ja Morant will play on Monday after missing over a week with back spasms.
Morant has returned quickly given his initial week-to-week status and will not be on a minutes limit. Tyus Jones carries minimal fantasy value as long as Morant stays healthy.

December 9, 2019, 3:36 pmJae CrowderPF, Memphis Grizzlies
Jae Crowder is considered questionable for Monday's game against the Warriors due to illness.
Grayson Allen and Solomon Hill would need to step up if Crowder is unable to play. Crowder has averaged 10.9 points and 5.8 rebounds so far this season, but his value could dip when Kyle Anderson is ready to return.

December 9, 2019, 3:35 pmMarvin Bagley IIIPF, Sacramento Kings
Marvin Bagley has a chance to return from his thumb fracture on Monday against the Rockets and is being listed as questionable.
He's been participating in full contact practice for a week now and the "questionable " has followed him around for each of the last two games, which he missed. This would not be an ideal matchup for Bagley to return, but there's a chance. Upon his return, he'll immediately benefit from the usage vacuum created by De'Aaron Fox's injury, but he'll also lose center minutes to an emergent Richaun Holmes. And deservedly so, as Holmes has been the Kings' most valuable player during the past injury-riddled month. Check back in closer to tipoff for a final update on his status.

The Asian decor style is inspired by Japanese, Chinese Vietnamese and Thai culture. This style is usually rooted in eastern philosophies which seek to create balance. Often incorporates bamboo and natural colors to create a relaxing, soothing, serene feel. If you're considering a new decor for your home and want something that focuses on relaxation and harmony, then an Asian inspired decor style might be just right for you.
A meditative space
The Asian decor style strives to create an open, meditative space. By focusing on simplicity, a relaxing elegance can easily be achieved. Surfaces should be bare or only minimally decorated. Establishing a strong natural focal point can also tie this minimalism together.
This can be achieved by using calm neutral colors and natural materials. A common color palette consists of sage with beige hues in furniture and accessories. Surfaces should be sparely decorated erring on the side of minimalism to help achieve the clutter free, relaxing environment.
When applying the Asian style, many strive to follow the art of Feng Shui. According to Feng Shui traditions, everything has a negative or positive energy, and it's your goal to balance these energies through your living space design.
While much of the Asian decor style is aesthetic, you can take it to the next level by adding some more cultural elements into the mix. In this way you add a little flair while maintaining the elegance of the Asian style. Consider using ornamental teapots, statues or figurines of Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha), or classic white and blue china porcelain as accessories.
Natural materials
In most Asian inspired living spaces, especially bedrooms, nature is utilized to create a space that aids in relaxation. Consider using natural materials such as driftwood, bamboo, hand woven baskets and other such materials.
Modernize it
Not all Asian inspired decor needs to be 100% traditional. If you're looking for the relaxation and simplicity, but also want to display a modern flair, go for it. Try mixing natural materials with bold colors. And some tasteful stone tiling can add a sense of sophistication.

For each gap 8-12, mark one letter (A-G) on your Answer Sheet.
If overflowing in-trays frighten you or solving problems makes you sweat, there's a new range of business bookscalled The Management Guides that you can turn to with confidence. (0)__G__. In addition, they're written inaccessible language by Kathy Harman, a chartered occupational psychologist who heads her own London-basedconsultancy business. She says that the guides are intended for professionals working in small British companies,where thinking about management can be a low priority because of endless lists of other responsibilities.
(8). After this initial message to the reader, the following pages contain sections on every aspect of business, frommanaging your own time and selecting employees to planning ahead for the future.
One of the reasons Harman wrote these guides was that she knows not every business is able to invest in training.The difficulty, especially for small businesses, is that, "People are professionals first and foremost and somehowthey are just expected to pick up management skills as they go along." (9). And becoming one, she recognizes, isespecially difficult if you're not used to communicating effectively or delegating work.
She adds, "It's all very well managing areas that you have control over and you can do all the planning you feel isnecessary, but there are always going to be other people out there who do the most unexpected things," (10). Sucha choice of approaches is essential to any business; this can only be achieved by managers having good, friendlyrelationships with all their staff and business contacts. "The important thing in management," says Harman, "is thehuman element."
Her advice to managers everywhere is to maintain professionalism at all times. "If you've ever managed anyone,"she says, "you'll know that you're not allowed to be fed up because when the staff come to you, they don't want toknow about your problems, they want their problems solved."
Harman feels confident about making such an analysis because of her years of training as an occupationalpsychologist. (11). "What you find there is that more senior managers have had some kind of psychologicaltraining, while in this country most managers get their management psychology second-hand by listening to othermanagers."
The overall message from Harman is a simple one, and it's got nothing to do with technology or databases. (12)."More and more managers," she says, "are realizing this and beginning to appreciate that without the right staff atall levels, you really haven't got a business. People are your principal resource."
A And when they do, managers need a variety of strategies to fall back on.B This, of course, is unlikely to be easy, because being an expert in your field doesn't necessarily make you agood manager.C The question that most of them ask is ,"Can we actually afford a management training courses?"D Although this area of study is becoming more acceptable in the business world, Britain is a long way behindthe rest of Europe.E It's about creating a working environment that promotes the well-being of everyone, from the post room tothe board room.F This is illustrated at the beginning of each guide with the quote, "This book is for those who would like tomanage better but are too busy to begin."G They're short, pocket-sized, and very reasonably priced at '2.99 each.
Part ThreeQuestions 13-18
Read the article below about effective communication and the question on the opposite page.
For each question 13-18, mark one letter (A, B, C, or D) on your Answer Sheet for the answer you choose.
Effective communication is essential for all organizations. It links the activities of the various parts of theorganization and ensures that everyone is working toward a common goal. It is also extremely important formotivating employees. Staff need to know how they are getting on, what they are doing right and in which areasthey could improve. Working alone can be extremely difficult and it is much easier if someone takes an interestand provides support. Employees need to understand why their job is important and how it contributes to theoverall success of the firm. Personal communication should also include target setting. People usually respond wellto goals, provided these are agreed between the manager and subordinate and not imposed.
However, firms often have communications problems that can undermine their performance. In many cases, theseproblems occur because messages are passed on in an inappropriate way. There are, of course, several ways ofconveying information to others in the organization. These include speaking to them directly, e-mailing,telephoning or sending a memo. The most appropriate method depends on example, anything that is particularlysensitive or confidential, such as an employee's appraisal, should be done face-to-face.
One of the main problems for senior executives is that they do not have the time or resources needed tocommunicate effectively. In large companies, for example, it is impossible for senior managers to meet and discussprogress with each employee individually. Obviously this task can be delegated but at the cost of creating a gapbetween senior management and staff. As a result, managers are often forced to use other methods ofcommunication, like memos or notes, even if they know these are not necessarily the most suitable means ofpassing on messages.
The use of technology, such as e-mail, mobile phones and network systems, is speeding up communicationimmensely. However, this does not mean that more investment in technology automatically proves beneficial:system can become outdated or employees may lack appropriate training. There are many communications toolsnow available but a firm cannot afford all of them. Even if it could, it does not actually need them all. Thepotential gains must be weighed up against the costs, and firms should realize that more communication does notnecessarily mean better communication.
As the number of people involved in an organization increase, the use of written communication rises even faster.Instead of a quick conversation to sort something out numerous messages can be passed backwards and forward.This can lend to a tremendous amount of paperwork and is often less effective than face to face communication.When you are actually talking to someone you can discuss things until you are happy they have understood andfeedback is immediate. With written messages, however, you are never quite sure how it will be received. Whatyou think you have said and what the other person thinks you have said can be very different.
The amount of written information generated in large organization today can lead to communication overload. Somuch information is gathered that it gets in the way of making decisions. Take a look at the average manager'sdesk and you will see the problem -- it is often covered in letter, reports and memos. This overload can lead toinefficiencies. For example, managers may not be able to find the information they want when they need it.Communication is also becoming more difficult with the changes occurring in employment patterns. With morepeople working part-time and working from home, managing communication is becoming increasingly complex.

Part TwoQuestions 60-68
F: Last week was probably my busiest ever. I traveled 20,000 kilometers and visited 25 customers.I got 12 firm orders and the nice things is I'll get 12.5% commission on each, once the invoiceshave been paid.
M: Although I check the machines on the production line regularly, last week one of them brokedown and that caused some long delays, especially for the distribution department, I'm told. I hadto get new parts and work right through the night to get the machine running again.
M: Recently we've been working very hard with the standard that has just been introduced, and it'smade a big difference, because last week we achieved the lowest ever rate of defective productscoming off the line.
F: For the first time in two years, all the departments kept within their budgets last quarter. I had tocheck the figures four times before I could believe it! That'll look very good in the annual report.
For each recording, decide which problem at work the speaker is talking about.
M: It really shouldn't have happened. I mean, there are procedures for getting rid of people and Idon't understand why they weren't observed. Just because he didn't "keep to office policy". Thereare plenty of people here who don't "keep to office policy" in all sorts of areas!
F: I was really excited when I got this job. I thought -- now I'm going to be part of an organizationthat has an international reputation! …Well -- I don't know what it is…the management's fine,salaries are good, but no-one really seems interested in the work they're doing, it's just a routine,and I already find it quite boring.
F: I started off as a trainee in that office over there. I was providing administrative support forthree editors. Soon after I arrived, they brought in a new computer system, and just as I started tomaster it, two of the editors left. Then they restructured the team and moved me into the centraloffice, where they have a different system! I wonder what's going to happen next!
M: She's been off for three months now. It's such a shame! And she isn't going to do anythingabout it. If it's been me, I'd have gone to court about it! There's no way there should have beenloose wires all over the floor like that. Something was just waiting to happen. I kept thinking thatsomebody should report is, so that they could move them out of the way--now I wish I had!
F: When I started here -- which wasn't that long ago -- they were taking people on every day, andtraining them at great expense. So now we have lots of qualified staff, but not enough work forthem. Unless we win some new orders in the next few months, some people will have to be maderedundant.
Part ThreeQuestions 69-76
You will hear an interview with Tom Winter, president of Thorntec University, the training andeducational body set up by the electronics company, Thorntec.
For each question 69-76, mark one letter (A, B, C or D) for the correct answer.
F: Mr. Winter, I know we've asked you here to talk about Thorntec University, but before webegin, let's talk about the company. Thorntec Electronics seems to be enjoying a boom at themoment. Can you put some figures on that?
M: Yes…Well…in 1990, Thorntec's total sales were '11 billion. But in 1995, our sales grew bymore than 5 billion and the sales total for the year was 'we billion. So…while we used to think that15% growth was good, for some time we were reckoning on achieving 20 to 25%…though recentdevelopments have changed that.
F: And what about international expansion? Where are your big growth markets?
M: Over the next five years, we'll be hiring 100,000 new employees…in Asia alone, it'll be60,000.The real development during this period will still be concentrated in Asia -- mostly China,India and Vietnam. We're hoping that one day the market there will be as big as Europe. Over alonger period, we're also planning to expand into the Middle East and into Southern Africa. Allthis development is very important for the company. For example, the plans for China will bringinvestment up to '100 billion. A few years ago, I'd never have dreamed that we'd be selling '2billion dollars' worth of products there, which we did last year. It's hard to believe that only sevenyears ago we sold nothing there at all.
F: Can we talk about Thorntec University itself? Can you explain -- simply -- how it works, andwho it's for?M: I suppose it's really similar to a community-based education system -- a bit like a villageschool -- except, of course, this is a global village. Basically, it's designed to provide educationand training for every single member of staff, from the Managing Director to the newest recruit.
M: Well, we have core courses that everyone is required to attend. They focus on things likereducing manufacturing time as well as quality issues -- both for people and services. We alsooffer a range of options, everything from personal finance to languages. We run courses, forexample, in French, Japanese, Korean and Mandarin.
F: Can we turn now to the question of motivation and how you go about keeping people interestedin their work?
M: We never underestimate training. It's a challenge, for example, keeping someone aged 20skilled until they're aged 60. So we do what we can. While some employees get as much as threedays training a month, the minimum is fixed at three days a year. We also have a feed back systemin the form of a questionnaire that employees answer every six months, and in this way we cankeep up-to-date with employees' opinions.
M: That's right. We allow an amount equivalent to about 4% of an employee's salary for his or hertraining -- to "maintain them", if you like, because we think they're important. A piece ofmachinery, however, gets as much as 10-12% of its purchase price spent on maintenance…now, Ibelieve that people are more important than machines, so we still have a long way to go.
F: It would seem, though, that Thorntec is more broad-minded than many firms in its approach toeducating and training its employees.
M: Well, Thorntec has been in a state of constant renewal since it was founded in 1928, but itwasn't until the late sixties onwards that the company started trying out new methods of trainingand education. Thorntec University was the result of those experiments and has been operatingvery successfully for the last fifteen years. I suppose overall what distinguishes Thorntec fromother multinationals is that we educate all our employees and not just management.
F: Thank you, Mr. Winter, and I hope that Thorntec University continues to do well in itseducational role.

The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA) allows immigration officers discretion to defer deportation for young immigrants in certain situations. Officers can review the immigrant's educational, professional or service pursuits within the country to aid in their decision. In many cases, the young immigrants, or Dreamers, received protection from deportation.
In 2017, President Donald Trump's administration chose to rescind the policy, stating it was illegal. This led to courtroom battles. Thus far, lower courts have disagreed with the Trump administration's rationale. SCOTUS will hear the case in November.
What are the arguments?
Those in favor of protecting the Dreamers argue not only that the law is legal, but that it helps the nation in two ways. First, immigrants help the job market. Leaders in the tech industry have publicly voiced support of Dreamers. Prominent examples include the CEO and senior vice president for retail and people of Apple have signed on in support, stating immigrants are "vital to Apple's success."
The second argument in favor of protecting the Dreamers involves the contention that these individuals also contribute to the economy. By simply living in the United States, the argument goes, they are paying for housing, buying products and paying taxes.
In contrast, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has argued that it chose to wind down the law because it is outside the scope of the executive branch's authority. As a result, regardless of the social impact, the agency argues the law is illegal.
What will SCOTUS decide?
First, SCOTUS will need to determine if the lower courts had the authority to review the termination of DACA. If so, the justices will next need to review whether the DHS's violated the law when it rescinded DACA. It is too early to tell what the court will decide.
The ruling, not expected before the summer, will impact an estimated 800,000 young immigrants. We will provide updates as they become available.

Using an omni-channel strategy is becoming increasingly important for enterprises who must adapt to the changing expectations of consumers who want ever-more sophisticated offerings throughout the purchasing journey. Retailers are increasingly focusing on their online presence, including online shops that operate alongside existing store-based outlets. The "endless aisle" within the retail space can lead consumers to purchase products online that fit their needs while retailers do not have to carry the inventory within the physical location of the store. Solely Internet-based retailers are also entering the market; some are establishing corresponding store-based outlets to provide personal services, professional help, and tangible experiences with their products.[26]

Hey, Matt! Thank you for your sharing, and I learned much from it, but I still have a question. We began to do SEO work for our site 2 years ago, and our organic traffic grew 5 times ( from 8K to 40K every day). But two years later, it is very difficult to get it grow more, even it drop to 3.2K every day. So can you give me any advice to make our site's traffic grow again? Thank you in advance!
How do you succeed quotes
Because users have different operating systems, web browsers[86] and computer hardware (including mobile devices and different screen sizes), online ads may appear to users differently from how the advertiser intended, or the ads may not display properly at all. A 2012 comScore study revealed that, on average, 31% of ads were not "in-view" when rendered, meaning they never had an opportunity to be seen.[87] Rich media ads create even greater compatibility problems, as some developers may use competing (and exclusive) software to render the ads (see e.g. Comparison of HTML 5 and Flash).
Incidentally, according to a June 2013 study by Chitika, 9 out of 10 searchers don't go beyond Google's first page of organic search results, a claim often cited by the search engine optimization (SEO) industry to justify optimizing websites for organic search.[4][5] Organic SEO describes the use of certain strategies or tools to elevate a website's content in the "free" search results.
What are distribution channels in marketing
Internet marketing, or online marketing, refers to advertising and marketing efforts that use the Web and email to drive direct sales via electronic commerce, in addition to sales leads from websites or emails. Internet marketing and online advertising efforts are typically used in conjunction with traditional types of advertising such as radio, television, newspapers and magazines.

A trick banner is a banner ad where the ad copy imitates some screen element users commonly encounter, such as an operating system message or popular application message, to induce ad clicks.[35] Trick banners typically do not mention the advertiser in the initial ad, and thus they are a form of bait-and-switch.[36][37] Trick banners commonly attract a higher-than-average click-through rate, but tricked users may resent the advertiser for deceiving them.[38]
Affiliate marketing - Affiliate marketing is perceived to not be considered a safe, reliable and easy means of marketing through online platform. This is due to a lack of reliability in terms of affiliates that can produce the demanded number of new customers. As a result of this risk and bad affiliates it leaves the brand prone to exploitation in terms of claiming commission that isn't honestly acquired. Legal means may offer some protection against this, yet there are limitations in recovering any losses or investment. Despite this, affiliate marketing allows the brand to market towards smaller publishers, and websites with smaller traffic. Brands that choose to use this marketing often should beware of such risks involved and look to associate with affiliates in which rules are laid down between the parties involved to assure and minimize the risk involved.[49]

Cross-platform measurement: The number of marketing channels continues to expand, as measurement practices are growing in complexity. A cross-platform view must be used to unify audience measurement and media planning. Market researchers need to understand how the Omni-channel affects consumer's behaviour, although when advertisements are on a consumer's device this does not get measured. Significant aspects to cross-platform measurement involves de-duplication and understanding that you have reached an incremental level with another platform, rather than delivering more impressions against people that have previously been reached (Whiteside, 2016).[44] An example is 'ESPN and comScore partnered on Project Blueprint discovering the sports broadcaster achieved a 21% increase in unduplicated daily reach thanks to digital advertising' (Whiteside, 2016).[44] Television and radio industries are the electronic media, which competes with digital and other technological advertising. Yet television advertising is not directly competing with online digital advertising due to being able to cross platform with digital technology. Radio also gains power through cross platforms, in online streaming content. Television and radio continue to persuade and affect the audience, across multiple platforms (Fill, Hughes, & De Franceso, 2013).[47]
Can you lose twitch affiliate
Online advertisers can collect data on their ads' effectiveness, such as the size of the potential audience or actual audience response,[20]:119 how a visitor reached their advertisement, whether the advertisement resulted in a sale, and whether an ad actually loaded within a visitor's view.[61][62]:59 This helps online advertisers improve their ad campaigns over time.
Customers are often researching online and then buying in stores and also browsing in stores and then searching for other options online. Online customer research into products is particularly popular for higher-priced items as well as consumable goods like groceries and makeup. Consumers are increasingly using the Internet to look up product information, compare prices, and search for deals and promotions.[23]
How can I earn money by offline
To cease opportunity, the firm should summarize their current customers' personas and purchase journey from this they are able to deduce their digital marketing capability. This means they need to form a clear picture of where they are currently and how many resources they can allocate for their digital marketing strategy i.e. labour, time etc. By summarizing the purchase journey, they can also recognise gaps and growth for future marketing opportunities that will either meet objectives or propose new objectives and increase profit.
In the 2000s, with more and more Internet users and the birth of iPhone, customers started searching products and making decisions about their needs online first, instead of consulting a salesperson, which created a new problem for the marketing department of a company. In addition, a survey in 2000 in the United Kingdom found that most retailers had not registered their own domain address.[14] These problems made marketers find the digital ways for market development.
How do I get a job in online marketing
You could get even more specific by narrowing it down to customer base. Is there a specific group of clients you tend to serve? Try including that in your long-tail key phrase. For example: "SEO agency for non-profits in Albuquerque NM." That's a key phrase you're a lot more likely to rank for. Not to mention it will also attract way more targeted, organic traffic than a broad key phrase like "SEO agency."
What jobs are not stressful
The term "organic traffic" is used for referring to the visitors that land on your website as a result of unpaid ("organic") search results. Organic traffic is the opposite of paid traffic, which defines the visits generated by paid ads. Visitors who are considered organic find your website after using a search engine like Google or Bing, so they are not "referred" by any other website.

Westerly Hospital eliminates 45 jobs in advance of sale to L+M
Westerly — Forty-five Westerly Hospital workers received notices this week that their positions are being eliminated as the closing date for the facility's sale to Lawrence + Memorial Hospital approaches.
About 30 of the 45 are not members of one of the two hospital unions. The 15 unionized workers are support services staff, L+M spokesman Mike O'Farrell said Tuesday.
Most of the affected workers are in the business office, which is being consolidated at the larger New London hospital, O'Farrell said. But a cashier's office, where patients can pay bills, will remain at The Westerly Hospital, he said.
Also this week, L+M sent about 600 letters to full- and part-time Westerly Hospital staff offering them positions at the hospital once it becomes part of L+M. A closing is scheduled to take place over two days, May 30 and 31, O'Farrell said.
The termination decisions were made jointly by L+M and attorney Mark Russo, the court-appointed special master for Westerly Hospital while it has been in receivership. The letters offering employment to current Westerly Hospital workers were signed by Donna Epps, L+M's vice president of human resources.
"We're working toward a smooth closing at the end of May," O'Farrell said.
In the sales agreement approved by Rhode Island Hospital regulators, L+M committed to maintaining all clinical staff. The elimination of positions in the business office and other areas has been anticipated, he said. No additional jobs losses are expected.
"There was always going to be some restructuring of services and consolidation of management," O'Farrell said. "This meets all of the commitments and standards of the asset purchase agreement."
Jackie Desmond, president of the nurses' union, said the job losses "were not a surprise."
"But it's still sad," she said, adding that all members of her union retained their jobs. "We're a small hospital and everybody knows everybody. There's been a lot of anxiety."
The layoffs will take effect immediately for many of the 30 non-union workers, O'Farrell said. Many of the 15 union workers have the right to move into positions of those with less seniority, so it will be several more days before the final outcome is reached.
"Affected employees can apply for open positions at L+M," O'Farrell said.
In addition to the job losses, Westerly Hospital also last week closed its outpatient lab at the Mystic Medical Center on Clara Drive. Patients are being directed to use lab services at the main hospital, at the Morgan Medical Building on Wells Street in Westerly, at Wood River Health Services in Hope Valley, R.I., and at L+M facilities at the Pequot Health Center in Groton and the L+M Stonington Health Center in Pawcatuck.
L+M is purchasing Westerly Hospital for $69 million, including the assumption of $22 million in debt, closing costs of $1.5 million, $6.5 million in working capital during the first two years, and $30 million in new technology, equipment and expansion of services over the next five years.
In the agreement, L+M commits to continuing Westerly as a nonprofit hospital and to maintain it as an acute care, community hospital for at least five years. It agrees to maintain all clinical services available at the time of closing for at least two years. Obstetrics services will be discontinued just prior to the closing.

U.S. President Donald Trump has made a big show of going after trade with Canada in recent days, attacking Ottawa on everything from milk to lumber.
While talks behind the scenes have reportedly been far more measured, Trump's anger over perceived unfairness in the current system of rules, trade agreements and tariffs has been the opposite.
Early Tuesday, the president lobbed another tweet north, warning that the U.S. won't stand for any Canadian policies that harm America's dairy farmers.
A short time later, he confirmed a 20 per cent tariff on softwood lumber going into the U.S. from Canada. All of this comes ahead of the proposed renegotiation of NAFTA.
But what do Trump's bluster and his subsequent actions mean for the average Canadian?
"Canada's entire trade economy is really based on one key thing, which is preferential access to the United States market, which is the biggest market in the world," noted Trevor McLeod, director of the Natural Resources Centre at the Canada West Foundation.
"Generally speaking, absolutely the average Canadian should be concerned about what this means for their pocketbooks."
Energy woes
Over the past two years, Canadians have gotten an up-close look at what can happen to the economy as a whole when the energy sector takes a hit.
A border adjustment tax on energy exports to the U.S. — something that has been floated in the White House — could therefore end up causing widespread economic headaches.
READ MORE: First it was Canada's dairy, now lumber. What might Trump target next?
Such a tax would mainly hobble new investment in Canadian energy infrastructure, McLeod said, "and that would ultimately probably have an impact on jobs in the energy sector."
But while Canadian energy producers and the overall economy might suffer, he added, it's U.S. consumers who would feel the pinch directly at the gas pump or on their energy bill.
"Ultimately there's a tariff levied at the border and those who use our product in the United States have to pay more for it," McLeod explained. "The hit to consumers is really in the U.S."
Softwood lumber
The same is true for Canadian softwood lumber. It's American home-buyers, not Canadians, who could see the price of their lumber supply increase, increasing the overall cost of building a new home.
According to the Montreal Economic Institute, a 25 per cent tariff hike on lumber would increase the price of a new house in the U.S. by about $1,300.
"The U.S. national home builders association says that for every $1,000 that housing prices go up, 153,000 people are priced out of the market," McLeod said. "It means fewer homes are built."
Here in Canada, the most obvious on-the-ground impact of new tariffs on softwood lumber will be the loss of jobs. Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr warned of "tough times" ahead across the forestry sector on Tuesday afternoon.
WATCH: Canadian lumber industry can anticipate job losses, 'tough times'
There are 213,000 direct jobs linked to the industry across Canada, mainly in rural and indigenous communities, and the U.S. remains our biggest customer with $6 billion in sales annually.
Carr spoke about existing supports available to workers via employment insurance (EI) and skills re-training programs. He also pointed to loan guarantees available to prop up Canadian companies that find themselves struggling in the wake of Trump's announcement. There were no new federal measures announced, however.

With a renegotiation of NAFTA on the horizon, Canada is bracing for some big asks from south of the border — one of which might be the dismantling of the country's decades-old system of supply management in the dairy sector.

If those walls come down, consumers will see some benefits, confirmed Sylvain Charlebois, dean of the faculty of management at Dalhousie University and a leading expert on food distribution, in a recent interview.
"It will benefit consumers just because we'll have access to more variety," he noted. "We don't know for sure what's going to happen to prices, to be honest."
Prices may go down with increased competition, in other words, but it's not necessarily a sure thing.
Dollar dives
Trump's choices and actions will certainly have long-term implications, but there are also more immediate ones. The Canadian dollar, for example, took a dive on Tuesday after the softwood lumber announcement.
That will affect just about any Canadian travelling to the U.S. right now, and anyone buying American.
WATCH: Canada is 'not a good neighbour' when it comes to lumber and dairy
Dips in the dollar may become a fact of life with increasing uncertainty surrounding the U.S.-Canada trade relationship, McLeod said.
"I don't think it's necessarily lasting, but you do see a bit of movement on that sort of political basis. I think we'll have to wait a little longer to see how the actual (NAFTA) negotiations turn out to see if there's going to be a lasting impact on the dollar."

PureVPN does a great job in providing both a website and products that are simple to understand and use. Whether it's signing in or the initial connection, everything is clearly laid out for maximum ease of use.
Signing up is not a problem. Just head over to their website and pick a plan that best suits you. When it comes to paying for your VPN, PureVPN are very flexible. Choose from options such as: credit card, PayPal, Alipay, CoinPayments (Bitcoin), BlueSnap or gift card. It should be noted that payment via Bitcoin or a gift card is non-refundable.
As soon as you have filled out your name, email and payment details, a popup box will appear which you need to follow in order to complete the process. If this, by any chance, does not happen, make sure you check to see if you have ad blockers enabled. Next, you will receive an email with a step-by-step guide showing you how to download and connect your VPN.
Once you have done this, you will get a prompt which will ask you to select from five various presets which are optimized for particular activities. Those include: streaming, safety and security, file sharing, internet freedom and remote usage. This is great for beginners, but for more advanced users, there are advanced settings which you can explore.
As with every VPN, speed will always have variables including server availability. One great feature when it comes to speed is PureVPN's split tunneling which enables you to split up your internet activities in order to optimize performance. With this service, you are able to send more sensitive activities through the VPN, while leaving out less sensitive activity so as to not impede on speed.
Running tests on PureVPN, you may be a little disappointed when they do not deliver on their promise of being the fastest VPN on the planet. Some servers had incredibly fast speeds, while others were terribly slow. Consistency is something that is somewhat difficult to come by when it comes to speed, but there are VPNs out there that do deliver in that aspect. PureVPN, unfortunately, is not one of them.
In the past they were clearly lackluster in their logging policy, but that has thankfully changed since then. Today when you sign up with PureVPN the only information they will retain is your internet service provider, the total bandwidth you use and the day you connect to a particular VPN server location.
No longer do they collect your original IP address you are making the connection from, your DNS requests, the IP address of your VPN server or your timestamps.
In their privacy policy, PureVPN have simply put how much user information they collect and what information remains anonymous.
- "We don't know what you access, browse, upload or download with our service.
- We are unable to identify at what time you connected to the VPN, with which IP address and which VPN IP was assigned to you.
- Even if we are compelled to share user information, we simply cannot because we have nothing personally identifiable to share."
Additionally PureVPN has headquarters in Hong Kong, which is out of the jurisdiction of the five eyes. This means that they are not obligated to retain any of your data legally, in turn third parties will not be able to get hold of said data. You can also delete your data just by sending a quick email.
"You have the right to opt-out of marketing communications we send you at any time from within your member's area profile. You can also exercise this right by clicking on the unsubscribe or opt-out link in the marketing emails we send to you.
You may also request deletion of your personal user profile, if you decide to leave our services completely. You can do so at any time by sending an email at email@example.com. If you request the deletion of your profile, it may take up to a month (30 days) to complete. Your email address will be kept and used to avoid account duplication and creation of fake accounts in your name. Your email address will be deleted only after we receive an explicit request from you to do so."
5 Multi Logins – this means that you can simultaneously connect up to five devices with the same PureVPN license, handy for those who have travel plans coming and need protection for their laptop, tablet and mobile device.
Internet Kill Switch – as with everything else you can expect your VPN connection to drop now and again. This will leave you vulnerable to third parties monitoring your internet activity, unless you have a kill switch which will terminate all VPN related actives in the instance that your VPN connection drops.
Port Forwarding – access your PC or laptop from any corner of the globe with help of a port forwarding VPN which will seamlessly connect your device to any device or server of your choice.
Dedicated Streaming Servers – if you want to watch your favorite shows, that shouldn't mean you have to worry about speeds or buffering. Having dedicated servers just for streaming minimizes this.
Ozone – this is an add-on feature which will provide you with added security 24/7.
256-Bit Encryption – military grade protection is essential when securing your online anonymity and protecting your data.
In addition to these features all PureVPN subscription comes with antivirus and antimalware at no extra cost. This VPN will also provide you with server-level intrusion protection as well as a prevention system which will deter unwanted activity from interfering with your device by checking and blocking all suspicious incoming traffic.
At the moment there is no free version of this VPN service, but that shouldn't really bother you since all the features a truly effective VPN can offer are found in premium versions. As mentioned previously PureVPN allows an array of payment options which will make your life that much simpler. There are also add-on services that you will be offered such as DDoS protection, an additional firewall and ad blocking for an added cost.
If you happen to change your mind about PureVPN you have 31 days to get your money back without any hidden data caps or restrictions, no questions asked.
If you want to speak to someone in real time there is also a 24/7 live chat where you can ask any questions you have and receive a prompt reply. There are reports that these responses often seem scripted and it is questionable whether you are actually chatting to a real person.
The best form of customer support in our experience comes from talking to someone via telephone, where that person can help you in a step-by-step process, guiding you in resolving any troubles. That is not an option with PureVPN and it seems the agents helping you out on the live chat service are not the most knowledgeable when it comes to VPNs.
Bottom Line
Unlimited torrenting is also a plus, however, in saying that, their performance is lackluster when it comes to speed and they certainly do not deliver the fastest VPN on the planet as they claim to do so on their website.
Privacy has also left a bitter taste in people's mouths, especially with the DNS leaks experienced just a few years ago. The positive thing is that they have changed their logging policies and are not legally bound to share any user data, nor do they collect it.
Their subscription prices are enticing and your PureVPN can be paid for by virtually every payment method that exists, including Bitcoin, which is particularly handy for those users who wish to remain completely anonymous.
All in all PureVPN is a solid choice for a VPN service. We would place them somewhere in the middle of the VPN pack. You can do better, but there are also many worse options out there.

text: Tax issues QER Expenditures May Provide Tax Breaks for Brownfield Redevelopers By Steven M. Friedman and Jin H. Bahk | When commercial real estate professionals advise their clients on redeveloping brownfield properties, they should consider the tax implications. The treatment of costs incurred to remediate environmentally damaged sites might affect a project's economic feasibility. Remediation Cost Considerations The time during which remediation costs can be deducted is the main tax consideration in brownfield redevelopment. Do the costs represent necessary business expenses that can be deducted in the current tax year, or does the nature of the costs require the taxpayer to capitalize into the basis of the remediated property? Generally, costs must be capitalized when they materially add to the value of the property, prolong the useful life of the property, or are used to adapt the property to a new use. Another consideration is the extent to which the costs produce future benefits. Also, capitalized costs may produce deductions over time in the form of depreciation. Concerning brownfield properties, the Internal Revenue Service decided that costs incurred to remediate contaminated soil and groundwater are necessary business expenses that can be deducted. The IRS concluded that these cleanup activities did not result in an improvement of the property or provide a future benefit. Conversely, costs incurred by the same taxpayer to construct a groundwater treatment facility to prevent recurring contamination would need to be capitalized. The party that incurs the remediation costs also can affect whether those costs must be capitalized. Previous IRS rulings have constructed a restoration principle that supports the deduction of costs incurred to restore a property to its condition prior to contamination. However, a key feature of the restoration principle is that the taxpayer that owned the property when the contamination occurred must undertake the remediation. The reasoning is that the taxpayer is restoring lost value. Consequently, taxpayers acquiring contaminated properties do not benefit from the restoration principle — since they cannot restore a value to which they had no claim — and may be required to capitalize the same expenditures. Qualified Expenditures To encourage the cleanup of contaminated sites and simplify the treatment of remediation costs, the U.S. Congress enacted Internal Revenue Code Section 198 that permits taxpayers to make elections to deduct qualified environmental remediation expenditures. QER expenses are certain costs that otherwise would be subject to capitalization. While the legislation covers a wide range of cleanup activities, properties must satisfy very specific criteria to claim a deduction for remediation expenditures under this provision. Originally set to expire in 2001, this legislation has been extended through 2003. Section 198 generally allows taxpayers to deduct expenditures incurred to remediate certain geographically targeted areas that have been exposed to various hazardous substances. Due to such exposure, these sites often are fallow or underused and require environmental remediation for continued use or redevelopment. QER expenditures include any cost that otherwise is chargeable to a capital account and that is paid or incurred in connection with the abatement or control of hazardous substances at qualified contaminated sites. QER expenditures do not include property acquisition costs for which depreciation deductions are allowed. As an exception, any depreciation on a qualified contaminated site that otherwise would be included in the capitalized cost of remediation is treated as a QER expenditure. An area must meet four requirements to be classified as a qualified contaminated site. First, the area must be held for use in a trade or business, for production of income, or as inventory. Second, there has been a release, threat of release, or disposal of a hazardous substance at the area. Third, the area cannot be listed on the national priorities list under Section 105(a)(8)(B) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980. Fourth, the taxpayer must get a statement from the appropriate state environmental agency confirming that the area satisfies the second condition. Regarding brownfield properties, hazardous substances are defined as such by CERCLA Section 101(14) or Section 102. Substances identified in these sections include toxic pollutants defined by the Clean Water Act, hazardous wastes listed by the Solid Waste Disposal Act, hazardous air pollutants denoted by the Clean Air Act, and hazardous chemicals, elements, compounds, or mixtures defined by CERCLA. A Section 198 election must be made on or before the due date for filing the income tax return for the taxable year in which the QER expenditures are paid or incurred, including extensions. The election is made with respect to a single expenditure; thus, a taxpayer may make the election even if he chooses to capitalize other such expenditures, regardless of whether the expenditures are of the same type or are made with respect to the same contaminated site. Further, a Section 198 election is effective only for the tax year in which it is made. Therefore, a taxpayer must make an election for each year in which he intends to deduct QER expenditures. Consult a tax professional for further information.

Flashcards in 2.5. The Structure and Function of Arteries, Veins and Capillaries Deck (21):
What is the pathway between arteries and veins?
Arteries -> Arterioles -> Capillaries -> Venules -> Veins
What is the central space of a blood vessel called?
The lumen.
What is the thin layer of cells that line the lumen called?
The endothelium.
What direction do arteries go in?
Away from the heart.
What are the characteristics of arteries?
Thick muscular walls with elastic fibres, narrow lumen.
Why do arteries have elastic walls?
When the heart contracts a surge of high pressure blood surges into the arteries. The arteries need elastic walls in order to stay in tact after these surges of blood. The fibres also recoil during contractions which keeps the high pressure in the arteries.
What is vasoconstriction?
When the muscle in the middle layer of the arteries contract and narrow the lumen. This decreases blood flow into the capillaries.
What is vasodilation?
When the muscle in the middle layer of the arteries relaxes which widens the lumen and increases blood flow into the capillaries.
What direction do veins go in?
Towards the heart.
What vital thing do veins have in their lumen and why do they need them?
Valves, to prevent the backflow of blood due to the low pressure in them.
What are the characteristics of veins?
Thick outer elastic wall, but a much thinner middle layer of elastic muscle compared to arteries. They contain valves and also have a wider lumen than arteries.
How thick are capillaries?
One cell thick.
How narrow is the lumen of capillaries?
Only wide enough to let one red blood cell pass through.
Why is a very thin wall beneficial for capillaries?
Allows easy exchange of materials between blood and tissue.
What is a network of capillaries known as?
Why do capillaries exude plasma and what does it turn into once exuded?
The high pressure of blood from the arterioles forces the capillaries to exude plasma which turns into tissue fluid.
What is the function of tissue fluid?
It bathes the cells, then exchanges material with the cells and returns to the capillaries by osmosis and diffusion.
Where does excess tissue fluid go?
It gets transferred to the lymphatic system through lymph vessels and turns into lymph.
What are the characteristics of lymph vessels?
Very low pressure, contain valves to prevent backflow, skeletal muscles surround them to help push the lymph through.
What is the function of the lymphatic system?
It returns the excess tissue fluid back to the bloodstream.
