Make the Move
Product Manager to Product Master
We offer 4 levels of training that equip product managers to become product masters.
4 levels to BEAT the competition!
We've trained product managers at these and other great organizations:
What type of Product Manager are you?
I lead product groups and I want consistency of process that delivers better products.
I want to build better products that results in increasing my influence in the organization.
We have training for both roles.
With the Product Mastery Roadmap, we'll help you...
Gain Confidence
Increase Your Influence
Be More Successful
Picture Yourself as a Product Master
If you are like most product managers, you want to build products customers love, but you're pulled in different directions by your organization. Sales wants one thing, Marketing another, and the Execs want something else. What you need is need more influence to drive product strategy.
And often there is a deeper concern. It's not one that is talked about but it is real. It's the fear your peers and leadership will find out that you don't really know what you are doing and that you're not living up to their expectations.
You need the right knowledge to move from the day-to-day tactical work you too-often are stuck in, to becoming a strategic contributor.
If you are like most product leaders, you remember those days and needs. You want to help your people feel confident in their job and be consistent in their delivery.
Knowledge and influence — that is what takes you from product manager to a real product leader. A confident and consistent Product Master.
The Product Mastery Roadmap charts the path from product manager to true product leader — showing you how to gain the knowledge and the influence you need to be a Product Master. True Product Masters are those that have risen above the average product manager by following the roadmap to Mastery that allows them to consistently BEAT the competition.
Product Mastery Roadmap
- 1Build your base — what you need to do now
- 2Earn professional certification — start impacting strategy
- 3Apply deep dives — make the transition to leadership
- 4Transform the organization — design the organization you want
BEATing the competition begins with the first level, Build Your Base. That's what Maggie, product manager at Thomson Reuters, did.
With only a year under my belt, my understanding of Product Management was both scattered and confused. It was everything I was randomly exposed to— without any real structure. Now, after the Build Your Base training, I'm able to see how different elements of Product Management fit together so that I can spend more time problem-solving and less time trying to figure it out. I'm confident, because I have a toolkit. I'm not overwhelmed because I have a framework. I'm also a better communicator because I can more effectively explain to stakeholders what we need to do now and what we will need to do next.
Not everyone starts with Build Your Base. Where should you start?
You might be ready for level 2, Earn Professional Certification, or level 3, Apply Deep Dives, or even level 4, Transform the Organization.

Our Customers Love Our Training
I absolutely recommend this training...
Hands down, this course has doubled my experience level.From a learning stand point, frameworks make future learning more efficient, thus, this foundational course, will help to expedite future learning. Think exponential ROI. From a value standpoint, this is equivalent to an intro grad level class at a good price point. I've seen other courses that have charged much more for less content.
Maggie Bender
Product Manager
My influence in my organization is growing...
"Although I have experienced other product training courses, I needed one that will provide me with a success framework to apply to my products. I realized without this it would limit my career growth. I enrolled in the IDEA Framework eCourse because I need to increase the success rate of the products I manage. It's paying off for me well. I feel more confident as a product manager, I'm prepared to create more successful products, and my influence in my organization is growing."
Michael Ayoola
Product Manager
Best Training Course of My Career...
"The online training course for the NPDP professional certification was crucial in my success passing the PDMA certification exam. The content was clear, concise, accurate and WELL worth the investment. It's the best prep training course I have been through in my career."
Louise Musial
VP of Strategy
The perfect way to prepare...
"Really, the online training with discussion sessions from Product Innovation Educators is the perfect way to prepare for the exam and achieve the CIL certification."
Muhammed Mahmoud
Product Manager
Careers Die Without Better Products
Products are the lifeblood of an organization and the measure of your success.
Average product managers create average products, resulting in Ramen-level revenues. Building better products moves you forward, your organization forward, and BEATs the Competition.
So you have to decide — who is going to get beat, you or the competition?
You want to build better products and have more influence in the organization, but but you feel under equipped to make that happen. The Product Mastery Roadmap equips you for success.
You can be the one leading the charge — building better products for customers. And if you are already a product leader, you can better equip your team to be the product managers they strive to be, releasing their full potential, improving consistency, and increasing revenue.
The path to building better products and being an effective product leader is already charted in the Product Mastery Roadmap. You'll BEAT the Competition, avoid stalling your career and have the impact on product that you want. There are 4 levels that take you from mediocre to Mastery. Find out which training level you should start with -- click the button below.
Case Study — How the Cost of Training
Pays Big Dividends!
Who better to listen to about the value of the training than customers. The testimonials above make the case — more influence, "doubling" your experience, products that generate higher revenue, faster career growth, transitioning from product manager to product leader and even organization leader. And perhaps the biggest benefit — more confidence!
Organizations also benefit when their product managers are trained together. They see real behavior change that results in consistent processes, increased motivation, and improved knowledge sharing between product managers and groups. They gain the knowledge to build better products that customers:
See how we helped Praxair improve their product capability.
They also find that product managers who participate in our group training are more likely to become future leaders, driving product strategy. They accomplish this with the Revolutionary Product Master (RPM) Experience
Organizations use our training for many reasons, but fundamentally they are improving their product management capability, resulting in higher revenue from new products.
One of these organizations is Praxair.

A Worksop homeless charity has received £75,000 of funding from Natwest which will be used to help build self contained flats for homeless people.
HOPE Community Services is relocating its office function to an unused space above its Worksop shop and will be converting its former premises into move on accommodation for the homeless thanks to the funding package from Natwest.
HOPE Community Services is currently renovating the first floor of its Queen Street shop.
The team will then relocate to the site in late November, freeing up its previous location on Queen Street for development.
The charity's old three story office space will be transformed into eight self contained flats for homeless individuals in the area.
HOPE Community Services is working with the Landaid Trust, Clothworkers Federation, Help the Homeless, Beatrice Lang and Trusthouse Foundation, to complete the renovation early 2019.
The new flats will offer those experiencing homelessness a refuge from the streets, just as the worst of the winter weather hits.
Alan Diggles, CEO of HOPE Community Services, said: "We are always looking to increase the capacity of our accommodation and help more vulnerable people in need of support.
"The first floor above our clothing store has been left unused for almost 15 years, but we have never had the spare funds available to renovate it.
"Thanks to the funding from Natwest, we are able to transform the space into new offices and convert our old office premises into accommodation who are most in need."
HOPE currently provides the only directly accessible emergency accommodation hostel in Nottinghamshire and it will be trying to help more homeless people across the county.
Luke Allen, relationship manager at Natwest, said: "HOPE has already helped hundreds of homeless people by providing them with shelter and support to find permanent accommodation.
"The funding from Natwest will allow an indispensable local charity continue to help even more people find homes."
The charity was established in 1996 as a response to help those living on the streets and has grown to a team of more than 50 staff and volunteers helping hundreds of homeless people in the region each year.

Sweet! Although LoHi has lost Living the Sweet Life, that space at 1535 Central Street won't be empty long. Über Sausage is taking it over, and will open a second spot -- twice as big as the original on Colfax -- this spring. "I love this neighborhood, I love the restaurants over there and there's just such great synergy, and I think we can add to that positive synergy," says co-owner Marco Macchiaro.
The news got a warm welcome -- laced with a little irony.
See also: - A second Uber Sausage will open in early spring in LoHi - 32nd Treat has closed in Lower Highland - Lohi goes from 22 bars and restaurants to 55 -- in just six years
Says David:
Where are all the commentors who were angry two days ago when we said there is a need for fast casual in LoHi? You mad now?
Not Mantonat, who's looking forward to the new addition to the neighborhood.
One of life's simplest pleasures is an Über Sausage double Swiss with a maß of Prost dunkel. Nice to know I'll be able to grab a sandwich and walk over to the brewery, even if the Über truck isn't there that day.

It's that time again, everybody. The one we've all been waiting for.
No, I'm not talking about spring, March Madness or the start of Major League Baseball. It's election season. Aren't you excited?
Every four years (or more often, for citizens who never miss a chance to cast a ballot), we partake in what seems like the cherished national pastime of "blame somebody else." Whether it's Democrats blaming Republicans, conservatives blaming liberals, Congress blaming the White House or citizens blaming politicians en masse, everybody at this special time seems to find someone else to blame for our many problems.
Here's my question: What good does it do to blame other people? The answer, of course, is nothing.
For this election season, and going forward in our lives, I suggest trying something novel: Take responsibility yourself.
Look, I know that sounds ridiculous in some situations. It's absurd to suggest that you, or any person, is responsible for huge and complicated problems like poverty, unemployment or something as random as the Zika virus. If you're stopped at a red light and someone rear-ends you, obviously it's not your fault.
But I'd like to encourage you to think of this concept not in terms of truth, but in terms of use. Forget about figuring out who actually is to blame for something. Instead, consider whether it's more valuable to blame someone else or to take responsibility yourself and learn from past mistakes.
When it comes to our own investment behavior, this is particularly valuable advice. Imagine that Goldman Sachs just predicted a terrible market in the coming year and, based on that forecast, you sold a quarter of your portfolio for a loss. Immediately after, the market boomed for months.
Did you lose a ton of money? Yes. Was it Goldman Sachs' fault? That's arguable. But even if it were, did you learn anything by blaming it on the firm?
If we blame Goldman Sachs for our losses, all we can do is say we got badly misled and hope we don't get fooled again. We're powerless to improve our situation. But if we instead take responsibility for risky investing or listening to the latest professed market seer, for not sticking to our financial plans or for any other number of things, we have a much better opportunity to minimize the chances of bad things happening to us in the future.
What's really powerful about this practice is that even when I know I'm not to blame for my situation, I still find it helpful. It sounds really heavy, always taking responsibility. But I've found the opposite to be true. It feels enlightening and not heavier at all, like a burden has been lifted from my shoulders. It allows me to let go of feeling helpless and empowers me to come up with creative ways to improve my situation.
This idea reminds me of a quote from Leo Tolstoy, "Everyone thinks about changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself." In the end, that's the only thing you have control over: yourself!
Even if you could bend Goldman Sachs over your knee and give it a spanking when it messed up a market forecast, odds are that you wouldn't get the firm to change its behavior. What you can do is take responsibility for how you react to that forecast. In the future, you can make a plan for how to handle the risk, then stick to it.
Think of this not as an indictment but as an invitation. I'm not here to lay blame on you; I'm here to encourage you to take at least some of the responsibility when things go wrong and then learn from your mistakes. Ultimately, I think you'll find that doing so will be more empowering and more productive than blaming someone else.

A couple of sidenotes
2. I feel I must clarify, that while we had a giant moving truck, our crap only occupied 14 feet of it. 3 other families shared the moving van with us.
3. Carl's Jr. is not nasty, Erin, when was the last time you went there? It's quite good. I know, I was shocked too. Maybe it only tastes good when you've got a fetus eating all of your food...
4. We managed to eat 3 whole meals at home today and it was FABULOUS. I finally got gas.
5. My dryer works.
6. No matter how low I turn my a/c it is still hot. Poo.
7. Henry informed me today "That makes me grumpy" when he discovered I'd be cutting his nails after the bath. I tried not to laugh, unsuccessfully.
8. Spencer has learned to say "MORE" which he SCREAMS whenever he desires MORE of whatever it was he was enjoying. It's kind of cute, kind of annoying.
There you have it folks.

Yes, I caught on to the whole baby thing yesterday, but forgot to comment! Congrats! I was curious if a "surprise" baby is one that is a "surprise" pregnancy, or a surprise gender. And we all assumed you got gas after your cooking.

text: I bought a manufacturer refurbished motorola droid off of eBay to replace my current one that the speaker stopped working on. After syncing with my google and verizon accounts everything seemed fine until I noticed that I couldn't pull the notification bar down. It behaved as if the touch screen was dead there but otherwise worked fine. I tried doing a manufacturer reset and it still behaved the same. I ended up sending the phone back to the seller, who has since told me: This does not make sense to me. I thought that the pull down notification bar was one of the main features in Android 1.0 but maybe I am wrong. Perhaps all this phone needs is a software update. That would be nice as he wants to charge me a 20% restocking fee for returning the phone which to me is unusable without the notification pulldown. Any wisdom or advice on this? I know I should have noted the firmware and Android Version before sending it back but I neglected to. I assumed it would be pretty straightforward that the seller would exchange it for a working phone.

The Gargoyle beside oblivion 8/23/2016
It was a dark time, unlike anything.
It was a place deep to the abyss of the sea.
There were dark monsters and ghosts that surrounded me.
I was alone and surrounded by shades
I could feel their tendrils wrap around me and their glass teeth chew on my flesh.
There were clicks and pops, roars of wind and chains of sin.
I went to a place where I laid alone, no body to have.
On my back staring at the starless sky, I saw nothing to ease my pain, just an empty oblivion, waiting to consume me.
There was an ever so silvery slick chill that identified to me, that somewhere else, there my body would be.
The slick chill warmed. Becoming so hot sizzling like grease in an old iron pot.
The heat wrapped around each part of me, enveloping and squeezing every nerve within me.
The pain became so great, for a moment I felt my body, begin to convulse and shake. My breath began rapid as I began to squeal. The demon inside me looked at me. I tried to find peace but there was nothing to be found, only agony, unbelievable, unimaginable agony. An agony that danced against every chord of my existence. Playing a hellish cacophony of heart rending wreckage.
The pain was so great it became eternal, I found no end. It ran and poured and blasted as a river would. It became the one thing, the only thing, the everything I felt.
I snapped, screamed and pleaded for mercy, I begged with tears to end it all. The all had become something that had rendered me into something,
a something that simply,
was something, that was nothing at all.

Q: I was single when my parents gifted a down payment for a home to me. What do I need to know before I enter a relationship about what the risks are to this money and how I can protect it if there is a separation or divorce.
A: When money is received by way of an inheritance, the person who provided the inheritance usually wants to make sure it is protected as an asset when a marriage is involved. There are several ways to do this.
The first would be, some sort of marriage or relationship agreement, stating that this money is protected from any type of relationship breakdown. This is a good idea under any circumstance, but it is essential if you wish to use it for the purposes of purchasing a matrimonial home, or any home that might eventually become a matrimonial home. Even if you decide to move your partner into a home you have purchased prior to the relationship, you must have an agreement in writing prior to the move-in day.
The second thing to make absolutely sure of is that it is in no way commingled with what is considered to be the matrimonial home. If this money is used as a down payment for a home, and there is no prior contract to protect it, then that money is considered a family asset for the purposes of division.
The clearest way to make sure an inheritance does not end up as a family asset is to never co-mingle it with family assets. Keep it completely separate and only use what you want to for lifestyle spending, considering it a gift to your spouse.

History of Paunat and the Abbey
The History of Paunat – Dordogne.
Not much has really changed to this very small hamlet built around the recently renovated Abbey of Paunat. Today Paunat commune houses just 323 people. A 1000 years ago it was a bustling hub of monks, pilgrims, and tradesmen.
Legend has it that a lone monk on a pilgrimage, setup camp for the night alongside a clear spring stream. He stuck his Pilgrims staff into the soft grassy ground before falling asleep. In the morning the monk woke up to find his Pilgrims Staff had rooted itself, and was impossible to remove. This was a "sign" and hence PALNATUM which became over centuries, Poanat, Paunac and, finally, PAUNAT was born.
- 991 : Consecration of the church by Bishop FROTAIRE of Périgueux.
- 1113 : The monks of Paunat built St. Martin and what is now B&B Ferme de Tayac
- 1304 : Visit of Bertrand de Got, Archbishop of Bordeaux and future Pope Clement V.
- 1986 : Inauguration of the new bells.
- 1956 : Accorded listed building status.
- 1991 : Millennium anniversary of the 12th century abbey church
The village of Paunat, nestled in the hollow of a valley, has – apart from the abbey church – old houses, a presbytery, wash-house, spring and a stream which runs under the town hall. Paunat is situated in the canton of Sainte Alvère and can be reached by the D703 and C3 roads. Paunat boasts a second site of particular interest in the SORS cliffs carved out of rock by the confluence of the Pradelue and Dordogne rivers.
- Village fête on August 15th with antique's fair, fireworks, dance, 'Paunatoise' climbing and 'boules' competition.
- Evening markets on July and August
- Truffle Day : the last Sunday before Christmas
Paunat is just a scenic 15 min. drive from Ferme de Tayac, and can be visited together with Le Bugue, Limeuil and St. Alvere.

Re: How to Turn Bed Sheets into Shopping Totes
Hi,(forgive my bad english writing ;( ) in Holland, every housekeeping has a own bag. Sometimes you get a plastic bad, but you need to pay that. so, we Hollanders don't want that, and that is the reason we have a bag of our own.
Now you can make one of youre own and use plastic table fabric.
I hope that you will understand this. The fabric is heavier so you can transport heavy bottles etc.

This project will conduct a 2017 revision of the South Fork Crow River, North Fork Crow River and Sauk River Watershed Hydrological Simulation Program FORTRAN (HSPF) models and review of the Pine River Watershed HSPF model.
This project will support a civic engagement cohort that will be offered in southwest Minnesota to foster partnering and build capacity of local government, organizations, and residents for effective civic engagement in water protection and restoration. This project will also build networks and the skill set of local resource professionals to do effective civic engagement work for water restoration and protection. The cohort will be administered through the Minnesota River Board (MRB), established in 1995 with a goal of focusing water management efforts on the local level.
This project will finalize HSPF watershed model construction by incorporating internal phosphorus loading in modeled lakes, run a suite of implementation scenarios and generate a GenScn project containing model output. The consultant will produce HSPF watershed models that can readily be used to provide information to support conventional parameter TMDLs. The consultant will deliver all modeling files for baseline and implementation scenarios and provide a GenScn project containing model output.
This project supports monitoring and assessment activities by MPCA EAO staff and includes lab analysis, equipment, and fieldwork expenses associated with monitoring and assessment activities within the described priority watersheds.
Lake Monitoring: Lakes are monitored for nutrients, clarity and other information to provide the data needed to assess the aquatic recreation use support.
Minnesota Erosion Control Association (MECA) will offer three one-day training session intended to educate permittees on the requirements of the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit. The focus of these workshops will be on conducting inspections and various hot topics.
This project will provide the monitoring of reaches where there are data gaps, incorporate new data and analyze relevant data, identify pollutant sources, hold a stakeholder meeting, and gather information towards the future development of a Draft Restoration (TMDL) and Protection Plan.
This project will extend, calibrate, and validate watershed models using the Hydrological Simulation Program - FORTRAN (HSPF) watershed model for the Mississippi Headwaters, Leech Lake, Pine, and South Fork Crow Watersheds.

How to Make Sense of Your Health Care Benefits in Retirement
At MediGap Advisors, we understand that the transition into retirement can be difficult, not to mention confusing. There are so many things to consider: Should you go with Original Medicare or Medicare Advantage? And really, what's the difference? Should you get a supplement plan? Should you get a prescription plan? How exactly do Medicare Advantage plans work, and would you benefit from one?
We know there are probably all kinds of questions swirling in your mind, which is why our goal to make sense of everything health care-related for you. We want to help you get the best coverage possible, at the best price. You've worked hard your whole life; we want to help make sure you're getting the health insurance you need and deserve.
It's all too easy for many folks to worry themselves sick over this new step in their health care journey, but at MediGap Advisors, we want to let you know that you don't have to worry any longer. We provide you with the right information, guidance and backing throughout the complete process, at no charge to you whatsoever. At MediGap Advisors, we break down the complex health care structure for the sole purpose of helping you find the best coverage for you, your health and your family.
You may be wondering, is it still possible to get the coverage and the care you need if you have a pre-existing condition? The answer is yes. From October 15 through December 7 every year, you are free to enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan, no questions asked. If you receive disability benefits, you can join from three months before to three months after the 25th month of disability. If you're turning 65, you can join from three months before to three months after your 65th birthday month.
Also during this time period, you can switch from Original Medicare to an Advantage plan, or add a supplement plan to your existing Medicare benefits. There are so many options, and it can oftentimes be overwhelming. But we're here to help you through this critical decision-making process – and it won't cost you anything to sit down with us and discuss your options for saving money and getting the best coverage possible.
Don't let this chance slip through the cracks. To see if a Medigap or Medicare Advantage plan is right for you, visit our website.

Before you actually decide to give paragliding a try, you need to know more about what this sport is how you do it and what it's all about. When done properly and with the right training, this sport is not only a pure rush, but it's very safe too.
So, what is it? When you were a child and would fly a kite, did you ever dream of what it must have been like to be attached to that kite? That's kind of what paragliding is. You get started much the same way as a kite does – by walking or running into the wind. When you understand the wind currents and how they work, you'll soon find that your loose fabric becomes a canopy that will lift you into the air.
The secret is flying with the air currents. You'll know them as thermals and you'll learn how to use them. Before you fly on your own, you will want to go through a thorough introduction day. This will help you to learn everything you need to know to help you with start flying on your own.
You'll learn what you need to know and your first flight will be little, but if you don't get the education you could be risking injury and be putting yourself in unnecessary danger.
So, if you don't have an engine, what does the equipment consist of? A chair style harness for starters. You can lean back, sit comfortably and enjoy the ride. There are also a right and left brake line, which – when combined with the right amount of weight shift – helps you to steer and will provide all the control you need for a comfortable and safe flight.
The aerofoil is what keeps you afloat. It's also referred to as a wing, glider, canopy and it's most commonly called a paraglider. This is what helps to lift you into the air. This material has been designed to capture the air currents and can allow you to soar higher and higher. It's soft and flexible, which means greater control for the flyer. Because it is so flexible, the paraglider is easy to store in your back pack and travel with it.
When you're starting out, buying your own equipment might not be an option, but most professional schools provide the equipment to get started.
There is a lot that you need to know about this sport before you decide that you want to try it. For instance, it's essential that you find an excellent instructor. Never attempt paragliding on your own if you haven't done it before. You will need to be properly trained before taking off for a solo flight and then you should make sure that you're flying with someone until you're familiar with the process.
You should also make sure that you choose to paraglide with an individual or company that has a good, solid safety reputation. As with all extreme sports, paragliding can be dangerous when the proper safety gear is not used. You can ensure that you have a great experience by choosing the right individual or company to get you started.
Many people know what paragliding is, but it might take some time to get past the "cousins" of this sport that include hang gliding and parasailing before the sport of paragliding is really understood. Once a person understands that paragliding is much like being attached to a kite that they control, the concept is much easier to grasp. However, many people wonder how this sport in particular came to be.
It's easy to imagine that someone that loved flying kites thought how fun it would be to be "attached" to the kite, but it's much more likely that this sport was developed through a few different channels.
They say it has a French connection
It might be up for debate where paragliding started, but the bottom line is that this sport really started to "boom" in the French Alps during the 1980's. Is this where it started? That's not entirely clear, but it is known that this sport did become very popular in France at this time.
At any rate, it's likely that many different athletes were developing their paragliding techniques at the same time. So the exact birth of this sport as we know it today might be a bit foggy.
Influences from all around the world
You probably know that paragliding takes its influences from all around the world. It's a little like hang gliding, it's a little like parachuting and you use similar principals when paragliding as you might if you were flying a kite. The desire for man to feel like a bird is undoubtedly behind the birth of paragliding, but it isn't credited to just one or two people like hang gliding can be.
For instance, in 1958 when Gertrude and Francis Rogallo were working for NASA, they invented the Rogallo wing. This was developed for recovery. Rogallo is also known for innovative development of paragliders and hang gliders that were more rudimentary.
It is thought that the first paraglider as we know it today was invented by David Barish in 1965 while he was also working for NASA. At that time, he called his invention a "sail wing" and took his first flights in New York.
It wasn't until the late 1970's that three French parachutists named Andre Bohn, Gerard Bosson and Jean-Claude Betemps began running to launch their paragliders. In fact, the practice caught on and that's why it is often said that France is the "birthplace" of paragliding as we know it today.
Paragliding the sport and the equipment that is used today has undoubtedly evolved. It's become safer, easier and more fun to do. Paragliding has also become a science, with the study of thermals (or the air currents), and how a paraglider can use them.
If you're interested in learning to paraglide, the first step is to find a good instructor or school and take the time to learn all you can about it. While paragliding is safer than many extreme sports, it's important to learn all you can and get started with an experienced instructor so you can enjoy the sport at your pace.

Foraging ecology of wintering wading birds along the Gulf of Mexico coast
MetadataShow full item record
I studied flock composition, distribution and foraging ecology of wintering wading birds along the Gulf of Mexico coast. I focused on geographic variability in wintering wading bird assemblages, the processes that structured these assemblages and habitat use by wading birds. I found considerable variation among three sites, Aransas National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), Texas; Marsh Island Wildlife Refuge (MIWR), Louisiana; and Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge (CNWR), Florida. Species comprising wintering wading bird assemblages varied regionally. ANWR had the most species-rich assemblage, with eight species. MIWR had only six wading bird species. And CNWR had only three different species. Processes that structured wintering wading bird assemblages also varied regionally. In ANWR, Texas, the Random Fraction niche apportionment model (RF model) best explained the empirical abundance data for ANWR. For abundance data from MIWR a good fit was obtained with the MacArthur Fraction (MF) model and the Power Fraction (PF) models. None of the models fully explained the CNWR abundance data. I also examined patterns of habitat partitioning among wintering wading birds at three different scales at two sites, Matagorda Island National Wildlife Refuge (MINWR) and Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge (LANWR). At the macrohabitat level, wintering wading birds showed interspecific differences in macrohabitat use of both open water habitats and vegetated flats. At the mesohabitat level all species at MINWR used the category nearest the edge most often, alternatively, at LANWR wading birds were most often in the mesohabitat category of 8.1- 12 m. from the edge. In both locations wading birds partitioned habitat based on water depth. Finally, I found that Great Egrets and Snowy Egrets participated more often in flock foraging and derived more benefits from feeding in flocks than other species. Great Egrets feeding in flocks had a higher mean strike rate than those foraging alone, whereas Snowy Egrets had a higher success rate foraging in flocks than those foraging alone. In the case of the darkercolored species (e.g., Great Blue Herons, etc.) they either showed no difference in behaviors between birds foraging in flocks versus those foraging alone or they actually did worse when they foraged in flocks.

Hello and Happy (almost) Thanksgiving! The kids are home from school all week so we are very much in holiday mode around our house. Before I completely forget I thought I would write up a very brief recap from the two races I ran since the marathon. I hesitate to even write about them since they were during my marathon
I had some questions about how I handled marathon recovery, training, and tapering in between Chicago and Wynne. If you were one of those people- this post is for you! First, don't underestimate marathon recovery and rest! Some marathons require more rest than others. Fortunately, Chicago was a fairly easy one to recover from and I felt ready to run
On Saturday morning two things happened when I crossed the finish line in Wynne, Arkansas. First, I won my first marathon. Second, my marathon PR streak came to an end. I decided I'm going to celebrate the first and not dwell on the second. Running marathons less than a month apart is tough but I gave it my best shot.
On October 11th I ran the Chicago Marathon knowing full well I had plans to run another marathon 27 days later. Thankfully, the recovery process has gone well and tomorrow is the next marathon! I'm going to do a whole post on my recovery/ training these past 27 days but I'm going to wait until after tomorrow's race for that.

I was delighted this morning to happen upon a wonderfully creative piece of letterpress work, by Ross Shaw and Jon Kielty of JMG, on the cover of the current edition of Le Cool.
Ross, Jon and myself collaborate under the guise of The Occasional Print Club, along with Pat Randle, producing experimental letterpress work in addition to maintaining our own solo and joint projects.
Le Cool magazine is a free, weekly magazine presenting a selection of concerts, djs, exhibitions, odd movies and other cultural events and happenings. It is intriguing that a magazine that will only ever exist in digital form should feature a cover created entirely by hand using the ancient craft of letterpress, although this is further evidence of renewed interest in the process.

Dynamic Newsletter – The Only Format That Makes Sense Today
Content marketers talk a lot about tailoring blog posts, social media activity and emails to the customer personas they've crafted, but when it's time to use the same logic when developing a newsletter they seem to forget all about the diversity in their customer base and appear perfectly happy mass-emailing the same exact content to their entire email list.
That, obviously, makes no sense.
Don't get me wrong, I believe that if done right, newsletters can be a valuable marketing tool. But done right, in today's terms, means one thing – creating a dynamic newsletter. Nothing else will do.
Topics covered in this post:
- Why create a newsletter at all?
- Why you shouldn't create a newsletter
- Dynamic Newsletter – the only relevant newsletter format
- How to create a dynamic newsletter
Before we get to discussing the creation of a dynamic newsletter, let's look at the broader questions:
Why create a newsletter at all?
Most company's, large and small, when they come to map out their digital marketing plan, include the creation of a newsletter, why?
Here are a few reasons:
- Staying top of mind – popping up in your customers' email from time to time with some engaging, valuable content might be just what's needed to make sure that they remember you the next time they're in the market for the product/service that you offer
- Brand building – by including content that conveys your brand's values you allow your subscribers/customers a glimpse behind the product and into what your company's all about. Potentially, if they like what they see, they might feel more connected to you and would be more likely to remain loyal for the long-run
- Shareability – creating a newsletter is relatively effortless, especially if you've already got the content ready in the form of blog or social media posts, and if it's good, your customers might share it with their friends or colleagues, thus gaining you some more potential customers/subscribers
- Upselling – it's much more effective to sell additonal products and services to people when it's housed inside value-adding content such as a newsletter
Why you shouldn't create a newsletter
After reading the above, it probably seems like a great idea to get to work and perfect a newsletter for your company too. Well… Not so fast, there are a few downsides:
- Potential reach – creating a newsletter is not terribly time-consuming, especially if you're going to re-purpose content you've used before on your blog, however, it's still worth noting that a 20% open rate for your newsletter is not a bad result, but is reaching 20% of your mailing list worth the effort..?
- Alternative cost – not to be confused we alternative facts, alternative costs are an actual thing, it's the value or benefit you're missing out on when you make one choice over another.
In this case, it means that if you have limited time to work on developing marketing material (and there's always less hours in the day than you need), newsletter isn't necessarily the most effective one to drive engagement, re-engagement or retention.
Developing your company's social media presence, for example might be a much better use of your time. Read more about it at smartblogger
- Unsubscribers – by far the biggest downside is: If your customers don't like your newsletter (and there are many reasons why they would – bad content, too much promotional material, boring, etc.) they will unsubscribe and you will never be able to reach them again.
You may very well lose them as a future returning customer simply because you annoyed them. What a waste that could be.
Dynamic Newsletter – the only relevant newsletter format
Let's say you've weighed the pros vs cons and decided to go ahead and invest in creating a newsletter. That's a fine decision if you have good, valuable, content to share with your customers and a well-defined distribution plan for it.
But don't just throw together all the recent blog posts you've made on a nicely designed colorful template and beam it out to your customers.
That's silly.
Your customers are unique – you've probably already got an automated email marketing service set up that segments them into the channels from which they came (social, search, friend referral, affiliate, etc.) and the amount of time they've been your customer (one day, 30 days, 6 months, etc.) and sends each group a customized email message.
Why not do the same with the newsletter?
A dynamic newsletter does exactly that – tailor the content you have to your different customer segments.
In practice, this means more work on each weekly/monthly newsletter – you'll need more content pieces.
But that's not necessarily a bad thing since it's much easier to write good content and think of new topics to write about when you're not trying to capture the interest of a huge, heterogeneous group (this would usually lead to more general writing that adds little value).
Not only that, writing personalized content is a much more effective route to reaching your goals.
What goals are these?
Well, you're not spending your time on creating and distributing a newsletter for the purpose of creating and distributing a newsletter, are you?
You want the newsletter to influence its readers – get them to do something (buy, share, return to site, etc.), either now or in the future.
Devising a message that touches on who your customer is and on the thing that drives him/her to action is how you improve your chances of influencing behavior. You know this. You use this tactic in your direct response paid acquisition and retargeting activities as well as in your email campaigns, don't you?
Time to implement it into your newsletter efforts as well, by developing a dynamic newsletter.
A dynamic newsletter, if it isn't yet clear, is one in which different customers receive different content – the newsletter sections aren't fixed but flexible and change according to the information you've got in your database about your customers.
For instance, if you know:
- which value propositions you offer where relevant to which customer segments (based on the channel and ad/post messaging they saw prior to signing up)
- the levels and types of interactions with your company and products/services (the number of logins/purchases and amount of time that has passed since they initially signed up)
- active time of day for customers (maybe because they live in different countries)
Why wouldn't you use that knowledge to customize their newsletter experience and make sure it highlights the unique attributes that define your relationship with them?
How to create a dynamic newsletter
1.Dividing customers into segments
Take a look at the information you collect about your customers and based on it group your customers into segments of similar-enough individuals.
You will send every segment its unique version of the newsletter, so you'll want to have those segments be as cohesive as possible in terms of content interests.
To start with, you might have 2-3 relatively broad customer segments to work with. Don't worry, no need to go too granular yet, once you've started distributing your dynamic newsletter and analyzing its results, you might choose divide these groups into subsets. We'll get to that.
2. Developing personalized content
Develop content unique to each of the segments you've created. Mind you, you don't have to create 2-3 entirely different newsletters, you can very well have some pieces of content that appear in all newsletter versions, just make sure to have at least a couple of unique ones.
3.Creating separate email lists
After deciding on the segments and the content, you need an email service that enables you to target your emails (a newsletter is an email after all) to subsets of your entire email list, based on information you have collected about them.
Preferably, you'd have an email service that pulls info from your database and allows you to filter your email list based on it.
But if budgetary constraints force you to go for a free email service option that does not offer this, you'll need to segment your customers into the different newsletter group and then upload a number of lists to the service.
4.Choosing your newsletter template
This stage is no different than with any other newsletter type – you'll need to choose/develop a newsletter template. The template remains the same across versions, it encompasses the color scheme, section design, button integration and more.
5.Building a dynamic newsletter
Add your content onto the newsletter template, for each of your customer segments.
As with any newsletter, when adding links (whether to read more/ sign in / buy now, etc.), make sure to add tracking to them so that you know how many people clicked on each section link. Read more about it in my post about Conversion tracking with UTMs
You should now have 2-3 versions of the same newsletter (the amount depends on the amount of customer segments you've chosen), complete with both unique, segment-related content, and general content pieces as well.
Add in the relevant customer email list for each version and hit send.
6.Analyzing and optimizing
After you've sent out your dynamic newsletter you'll start getting some data back.
You'll know things like open rate per segment, and thanks to the adding of UTMs to all your newsletter links, you'll also know click rate on links per segment, per newsletter section, as well as conversion rates to purchase or sign-in.
You could use these data to see which newsletter versions where, for instance, most/least effective in engaging the audience you chose to send them to and leading them to take action.
By extracting insight from your dynamic newsletter results you might come to a few conclusions – one of my newsletter segments is too broad, too diverse, and I should divide it into sub-segments if I want to increase my conversion rates.
You might also come to conclusions about the content itself – one piece of content really did not resonate with customer segment A, I might share less of this type of content with this segment in the future.
Whatever your insight may be, be careful not to jump to conclusions too soon. There are many reasons why a content section might have failed that has nothing to do with the quality of the content and its fit to the audience (for instance – the newsletter may have been too long and this piece of content, which is right at the end, was never reached by most readers).
Before thinking of expanding the number of customer segments or throwing out some content ideas, test and test again.

Praise for Carl Dennis's Another Reason
"The poems in Another Reason, Carl Dennis's twelfth book of poems, open slowly and deepen with each reading . . . What he has to offer readers willing to take the time to walk and reason with him awhile is both profound and moving . . . Do yourself a favor: get this book and read it. Twice."
— Carol Niederlander, Pleiades
"Dennis continues to eschew verbal flourish in favor of ethical force, extending the body of work that by now approaches the status of wisdom literature . . . He reminds us that poetry is not only an aesthetic but also a moral activity. It's another way of thinking as well as feeling, another way to reason through the choices we've made or will make." — James Scruton, Valparaiso Poetry Review

Field Fisher Waterhouse hosts exhibition of leading Mouth and Foot Painting Artist
Law firm, Fieldfisher hosted Keith Jansz's first solo art exhibition, called "Seeing the Light", in the firm's London offices. Keith paints with his mouth, and is a member of the Mouth and Foot Painting Artists (MFPA).
In June 1995, Keith had a car accident in which he became tetraplegic. He lost the use of his hands and legs, and is paralysed from the neck down. He was given a book about the MFPA, and decided to take up painting with the added challenge of painting with his mouth and not his hands.
Keith had adaptations made to enable him to hold a brush in his mouth and began to learn to paint. His perseverance paid off when in 1998 he was accepted as a Student Artist with the MFPA and as a Full Member Artist in 2000.

|The opening night of his solo exhibition was a great success, with 20 pieces of work being sold. Attendees included Professor Ken Howard, Mark Field MP, and representatives from Motivation, the charity that Keith supports. Other organisations that the firm's Personal Injury group has close links to attended, including the Spinal Injuries Association (SIA), the Brain Injury Social Work Group (BISWG) and Headway, the brain injury association.
A percentage of all sales from the exhibition will be donated to Motivation, an international disability and development charity that works in low-income countries to enhance the quality of life of people with mobility disabilities.
Fieldfisher is committed to supporting the arts and hold regular exhibitions. This latest exhibition follows the Matt Lamb exhibition held at the firm's offices late last year. Keith Jansz was introduced to Fieldfisher through Jill Greenfield, a personal injury partner who specialises in recovering compensation for those with spinal injuries.
Jill Greenfield, personal injury partner at Fieldfisher, said: "We are tremendously please to be able to host Keith's first solo exhibition in London, and support his work."

Learning math online for free can seem too good to be true. But it's not. There are plenty of resources and plenty of sites that can teach you the necessary skills.
Your age doesn't matter. Your educational background is redundant. Whatever mathematical goals you have, you can accomplish them!
What seems daunting is finding the right sites for each level of math. One site might be great at teaching calculus but horrible at teaching algebra. Another site might focus on higher level math and completely overlook the lower levels.
The well known Khan Academy is a gold bookmark, but there are other sites out there worthy of your attention. This list promises to compile the best sites for each level so that you can learn systematically, gain a better grasp of math one level at a time, and have fun!
Starting with Arithmetic
Arthmetic shouldn't be overlooked, as there is always a new and more efficient way at looking at numbers. It doesn't matter what your age, your brain can always make use of a little math homework Fun With Numbers: 6 Best Single-Player Games For Mental Math Fun With Numbers: 6 Best Single-Player Games For Mental Math You'll need math, logic or a combination of the two to make it through these. And be warned, they are crazy addictive. Read More .
The best site to learn arithmetic should be one that includes easy to follow instructions, shows more images rather than text, and lets the user practice with numbers. I've skipped any site that focuses a lot on theory and history, as I believe it is more important to practice with numbers rather than reading about numbers.
MathABC is the best site to practice arithmetic. The site has colorful graphics, is fun and informative, but doesn't lean heavily on explanations.
No matter what age or level you're at, you should give MathABC a try!
Other suggested sites include: Math.com and Arithmetic Game, which provides an online speed drill.
On to Pre-Algebra
Next up is pre-algebra, a necessary math level for anyone in high school or getting ready to take the GED. Again, no matter what level or how old you are, learning math is always great practice for your brain!
Learning pre-algebra should also be fun and informative but at this level theory and information should start to appear. Though, I think it is also necessary to get plenty of practice.
Math Goodies is the best site to learn pre-algebra, as the site focuses on theory and information, but also provides educational exercises immediately following the lesson.
Other sites include: Cool Math and Math Tutor DVD, which includes a nice set of online quizzes.
Up Next, Algebra 1 and 2
Algebra is no joke, and is often mentioned as the basis or "gatekeeper" for all the other levels, and is also considered a must if you want to comprehend other levels.
At this stage it is important to get a firm grip on theory, while at the same time practicing as much as possible. Graphics and pictures can be thrown out the window as they might be intrusive. Clean and straight-to-the-point text is what matters.
Math Planet does a great job at presenting example math problems and provides an instructional YouTube video at the end of every lesson for further explanation. Additionally, you can take your knowledge and put it to practice on the SAT and ACT section of the site.
You will need to download the SAT and ACT files to see if you answered correctly!
IXL Learning is another great site to review and practice algebra. Check out the Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 sections.
Go with Geometry
After algebra the next step in the right direction towards learning math can be geometry. There are some that say geometry, which is the study of shapes, should be taken before algebra 2, but the order is entirely up to you.
What matters at this stage is plenty of practice and a good grasp of theory. You can get both with a few sites, but the site that really stands out from the others is Math Warehouse.
The site does a great job of bringing together explanations, graphics, and explanation videos. You can even use their online calculator for better practice.
IXL's Geometry page is great. You can learn even more with Class Zone, a site which promises to improve your test-taking skills.
Turning to Trigonometry
Trigonometry is usually taken after geometry, as it deals with the measurement of sides and angles of triangles. Throw in 3-dimensional figures and it gets more interesting. It is used across all sciences like physics, engineering, and chemistry.
The best way to learn anything in math is to know how to get to an answer. The best way of doing that is to practice, and while this site has only a few examples, Dave's Short Trig Course does an excellent job at presenting trigonometry in easy-to-follow explanations and graphics.
Varsity Tutor provides fine practice tests for any aged learner, and Brilliant is also laid out nicely for easy clarification. Practice to your heart's content!
Concentrating on Calculus
Calculus, which is the study of of change through mathematics, is best learned through a thorough understanding of theory. A great way to get this type of understanding is to clearly see what you're learning, and then to be able to put your theory to practice. And although calculus should be broken up, between derivation and linear for example, Free Math Help does a great job of presenting each lesson as its own.
The site brings together theory, examples, three calculus calculators (a derivative, integral, and limit calculator), and even an interactive problem solver, which is quite useful for some problems.
Everything is clearly shown and laid out on the free site. Check it out!
17Calculus is an excellent site for college level calculus. Learnerator also provides a great amount of practice questions for you to review.
A most useful level of math is statistics, or the science of collecting and analyzing numbers and data.
Statistics is mentioned last in this math guide because it is usually taken by seniors in college as a final math course. Though this isn't always true, it is often the case.
After combing the web for the best statistic course or site, I found a Statistics 101 YouTube channel that really does a great job at explaining stats. You don't even need to have a great mathematical background to understand what is being taught.
The videos are an average of around 25 minutes long and use graphics and examples to explain statistics.

Customer Reviews
This cleanser does help getting rid of excess sebum as I have oily acne-prone skin. However, I have not seen any type of improvement in terms of redness or breakouts.
I struggle with awful hormonal acne (and I'm a picker) but also am very dry. I love this cleanser. It is mild enough to not strip my skin but still feels like it is fully cleansing my face while treating breakouts. So many acne products are just too harsh, but not this! I finally don't have to choose between treating the acne and treating the dry skin/redness. Thank you COSRX!

Houston Tree Services
Trees and shrubs play many important parts in our environment and in our lives.
- Animals inhale oxygen, and exhale carbon dioxide. Plants "inhale" carbon dioxide, and exhale "oxygen," which helps keep our environment in balance.
- Woody plants pick up moisture from the ground through their root systems, and deliver it to the leaves. The moisture transpires to the leaf's surface to help cool the leaf tissue. That cooling process also helps lower the temperature of the surrounding air.
- Trees provide shade for groundcover plants which help control soil erosion.
- Trees help reduce home cooling costs by shading a home's roof and walls.
Ability Tree Experts offers a full line of tree care services to help you protect your valuable investment in your property. Maintaining both the health and aesthetics of your trees and shrubs will increase the curb appeal of your property, and your quality of life.
- Tree Planting - Besides adding to the aesthetics of your yard and home, planting a new tree can help reduce your electricity bill, freshen your air, and boost your home's value. There are many factors that go into choosing an appropriate tree, such as its purpose, size, and life expectancy, and Ability Trees will help you turn this complicated decision into a rather simple one.
- Mycorrhizal Treatment - Rhizomes are the tiny fibers of a plant's root system which absorb moisture and nutrients. Mycorrhizae are beneficial fungi which attach to the rhizome and create a symbiotic relationship with the tree's roots. In essence, the mycorrhizal fungi become a secondary root system for the tree. The fungi pass moisture and minerals from the soil to the tree roots, and live off the sugar from the tree roots. An infusion of mycorrhizae will bring new vitality to healthy trees, and can help save a tree which is suffering from a declining root system.
Tree Fertilizing (AKA Deep Root Feeding) - Trees are fertilized in nature by the leaves and droppings on the forest floor which decompose, and deliver nutrients to the root systems. In urban settings, the forest floor is replaced by lawns and manicured ground cover. Fallen leaves and grass clippings are removed, eliminating nature's source of tree fertilization. Further, topical applications of fertilizer must pass the turf roots which extract many of the nutrients before they reach the tree roots. Deep root feeding injects liquid fertilizers under high pressure, directly into the tree's root zone at depths up to 18 inches, bypassing the roots of any groundcover.
Disease and Pest Control - Many tree and shrub problems are the result of bacterial or fungal diseases, or insects in various stages of life. Early detection and treatment of these problems can make the difference between maintaining a tree's health, and having to remove a dead, or dying tree. It is important to have an experienced arborist properly identify the exact nature of the problem so that appropriate treatments can be applied.
- Disease Remediation - It is often the case that, after a tree is treated for an organic infection, the diseased tree will need to have affected tissue removed to offer the greatest chance of full recovery. An experienced tree surgeon will know where, and how much wood can be removed to keep the disease in check, without damaging the tree's life functions.
- Tree Cavity Work - Just like a tooth cavity, a tree cavity is a serious condition that will only get worse if left untreated. Tree cavities are holes, or more specifically neglected bark injuries, that result from improper pruning, mechanical injury, storm damage, and other factors. Fixing this is a complicated process that should involve only an experienced tree professional.
- Tree Spraying and Seasonal Treatments - Just like we get flu shots and other vaccinations to maintain our health, trees benefit from seasonal treatments. Winterizing and spring greening are of particular importance in maintaining a tree's vitality. But summer and fall maintenance should not be ignored.
- Spring Greening - In the springtime, trees are more susceptible to fungal spore diseases and bark infestations which will not become evident until later in the year, after significant damage has been done. Spring Greening should include high pressure spray application of pest control agents to trunk and canopy surfaces. Deep root feeding is also essential as the trees expend large amounts of energy building the new leaves for the season. Adding soil nutrients will assure a rich, healthy canopy. Greening treatments should be done as the daytime temperatures approach 70ºF, just after the new buds begin to break.
- Summer Support - Our sizzling summers can be very hard on trees, espcially trees that are not native to our area. A healthy treee can require as much as 50 gallons of water every day to provide the moisture needed to keep leaf tissue from burning. One of our long, hot, dry spells can send a healthy into stress that can cause it to lose many of its leaves. Deep root feeding will not only add nutrients to help support the tree's summer growth cycle, but will add moisture to restore shrunken, hardened soil. And the holes created by the feeding tool will allow subsequent rainwater or irrigation to reach the tree's roots, past the turfgrass roots.
This is also the time of year that trees fall prey to boring and chewing insects which attack the cambium and sapwood - the parts of the tree that carry moisture and nutrients from the roots to the leaves. High pressure spray application of appropriate pesticides can help prevent the chlorotic yellowing of the leaves caused by internal damage.
- Fall - As trees prepare for their rest cycle, you should be preparing for next spring. Many of the pests which affect trees and shrubs are laying the eggs which will become next spring's pests. Now is the time to treat. Break the life-cycle of these pests with high pressure spray application of dormant oil which suffocates eggs and larvae.
Feeding is also crucial in the fall. A tree's energy is focused on the roots instead of the canopy during the tree's rest period. Deep root application of fertilizers formulated to stimulate root growth will prepare your trees for the demands of next spring's budding cycle.
- Winterizing - Bagworms, webworms, army worms, and a host of other destructive pests overwinter in your trees and shrubs. A late-season application of dormant oil will suffocate these pests in their winter shelter. The high pressure spray drives the dormant oil into the bark's crevices and the borer holes where these pests hide.
Fertilization of trees and shrubs is just as necessary in the winter as it is in other seasons. Below-ground root system activity continues even while we think of a tree as being dormant. This activity depends on the energy the tree has stored during the summer growing season. A deep root feeding formulated to support root zone activity will prepare your trees and shrubs for healthy, vibrant spring budding.
- Construction Remediation - An owner who is developing a piece of property will usually mark some trees for preservation. Construction crews may leave the trees uninjured, but the root zones will usually be severly impacted by heavy machinery which compacts soil and tears small root fibers; trenching equipment which severs entire segments of the root system; and overbuilding which covers portions of the root zone with concrete or asphalt, depriving the roots of water and oxygen. Deep root feeding and watering injects liquids at pressures of up to 750 psi, loosening hard, compacted soil. Mycorrhizal treatments fortify the tree's roots, increasing the roots' ability to absorb moisture and nutrients.
- Tree Trimming- A tree's appearance is important to the aesthetics of a landscape. Trimming is the "haircut" that defines a tree's shape. Trimming includes shaping the canopy, and deadwooding - removing dead limbs and branches.
- Tree Pruning - Wind can be one of the most damaging forces of nature for a tree. The dense foliage of the canopy resists the wind, like the sail on a sailboat. High winds can break limbs, and even uproot trees, causing costly property damage, not to mention the cost of damage to the trees. Pruning selectively removes limbs and branches to allow wind to flow more freely through the canopy; to help direct the tree's shape; and to focus the tree's growth energy on the remaining stock, ensuring a stronger, healthier, more vibrant tree.
- Tree Cabling - We've all seen magnificient old oak trees with huge limbs arching gracefully outward from the trunk, 30 feet, or more. Sadly, stately trees are often in conflict with the modern urban environment because the lower rank of limbs get in the way of people, traffic, and buildings. Removing these limbs can be injurious to the health of the tree, and certainly destroys the beauty and character that only come with age. Cabling is a technique used to retrain the growth of tree limbs to elevate the bottom of the tree's canopy without butchering the tree's appearance.
- Pre-Construction Consultation - You have just purchased a piece of property where you will build your dream home, or an office complex, or other development. One of the attractive features of the property is the existing vegetation, so you want to landscape, not landscrape. Louis Flory can work with you, or your architect to determine which trees and plants should remain on the property. Louis can also direct your construction company on the best means to protect those trees and plants during construction. Only time can replace a 50 year-old tree. Call Louis, and avoid the loss of valuable assets.
- Tree Removal - Tree removal by professional arborists
may be necessary following a storm or to remove unsightly, dead trees.
- Stump Grinding - Today's stump removal equipment ensures the toughest, most stubborn stumps are eliminated quickly and thoroughly.

text: The body of the late Nigerian president has been laid to rest in his home state of Katsina [Reuters] Under the constitution, Jonathan is now the head of state until the country's next elections scheduled to be held by April 2011. He will also nominate a vice-president, subject to approval by the senate.'Sad circumstances' In his acceptance speech after taking the oath, Jonathan said his coming to power had occured under "very sad and unusual circumstances". He praised his predecessor as a "man of great personal integrity ... and outstanding humility" and he said he would continue the fight against corruption and push for electoral reform during his time in office. in depth In video: The life of Umaru Yar'Adua In video: Nigeria contemplates the future Obituary: Umaru Yar'Adua Profile: Goodluck Jonathan Inside Story: Behind Nigeria's violence "Our total commitment to good governance, electoral reform and the fight against corruption would be pursued with greater vigour." "Similarly the effort at ensuring the sustenance of peace and development in the Niger Delta as well as the security of life and property around the entire country would be of top most priority in the remaining period of this administration." Yar'Adua had failed to formally transfer his powers to Jonathan while he was in Saudi Arabia earlier this year, sparking a constitutional crisis in Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation with 150 million people.Yar'Adua returned to Nigeria in February after three months of medical treatment in Saudi Arabia, but had not been seen in public since. Al Jazeera's Yvonne Ndege said the severity of his illness had been shrouded in secrecy since he was airlifted out of Nigeria in November 2009. "He had always suffered some kind of sickness since becoming president, he had had kidney problems and the latest bout of illness was related to a heart condition," she said. "There were so many local media reports that he was on the mend but we will never really know the true extent of his illness except that he had been terminally ill."Difficult times The National Assembly left open the possibility for Yar'Adua to regain power if he returned to the country in good health. But his long absence from public life and the secrecy surrounding his health sparked months of fierce speculation in the Nigerian media and constant tension between his supporters and those of the acting president. Jonathan, meanwhile, has consolidated his power, appointing a new cabinet and his own team of advisers. Yar'Adua's absence had sparked fears of a power vacuum in Nigeria [AFP] Abba Aji, a senator and special adviser to Yar'Adua on national assembly matters, told Al Jazeera he had no objection to Jonathan continuing as president and contesting in next year's presidential election. "I certainly have no problem with this [arrangement] but the ultimate decision as to who will be the next president will have to be made by the Nigerian electorate … as of right every Nigerian has the right to contest the election." It is unclear if Jonathan, who is from the mainly Christian south of Nigeria, will run for president in the polls because of an unwritten agreement in the ruling party that power rotates between north and south. Under the agreement, the north, where Yar'Adua hails from, theoretically has another term in office following his death. 'Dicey' transition period Nii Akuetteh, the former executive director of Washington-based think tank Africa Action, told Al Jazeera that Yar'Adua pushed through electoral reforms and will be remembered as a clean president. "When a president dies suddenly, the transition period is always dicey. "On the other hand, his health has been bad for a long time so the Nigerian power structure has had time to prepare for this. "I think it will be a fairly smooth transition. I don't expect any kind of upheaval since Jonathan as acting president is already firmly in control." Yar'adua took office in 2007 in a country notorious for corruption and was praised by many for being the first leader to publicly declare his personal assets when taking office - setting up a benchmark for comparison later to see if he misappropriated funds. Andrew Simmons, Al Jazeera's Africa editor, said the death of Yar'Adua had been no surprise coming after a long illness, but it was nonetheless a tragic end to what could have been a promising presidency. "Yar'adua, a former chemistry teacher, was taciturn, down-to-earth but who was just underestimated initially. The one thing that stood in his way was his health." Simmons said the Nigerian leader left a legacy of a clean government which included transparency, electoral reforms and an amnesty with militants in the oil-rich Niger Delta. "He did not achieve many of the reforms he promised mainly because his health had got in the way … but he had achieved something." SOURCE: Al Jazeera and agencies

The day opened with a &dquo;Guantanamo prisoner&dquo; presence at the U.S. Supreme Court as Justice Sonia Sotomayor begins her tenure on the country's highest court. The group distributed the Center for Constitutional Rights' &dquo;Torture Team&dquo; baseball cards and had four large puppet heads of George Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Condoleezza Rice—all dressed in prison stripes as they called for accountability for the architects of the Bush administration's torture policies.

Nanking Cherry or Prunus tomentosa is a beautiful winter hard flowering shrub 2-3m high that produces red fruit with a refreshing flavor somewhere between sweet and tart. In the spring the Nanking Cherry is covered with beautiful flowers, making it a beautiful addition to your garden. The pinkish white flowers and subsequent fruit are borne in such profusion as to practically hide the stems. Since the Nanking Cherry is a shrub, it can fit into parts of the garden where a standard cherry couldn't grow. It is excellent for canning, jams and pies.
Sow late summer to autumn direct on the surface of a good seed compost and gently firm down. Keep damp but not wet. Spring sowing requires 2-3 months stratification at 2-3C.
