Digital Marketing
Need More Sales, Leads or Donations?
If your website isn't delivering the steady stream of new leads, purchases or donations that you need, you're not alone. These days, there's a ton of competition and having a great website isn't enough to get in front of the right customers. Your brand needs greater exposure online so potential clients who are looking for your product or service are directed to your site and encouraged to interact with you.
Depending on your needs, we can help you develop and execute a complete digital marketing plan or provide expert support in the following areas:
- Digital marketing strategy and recommendations
- Website reporting and recommendations
- Setup and installation of analytic dashboards
- Search engine optimization (SEO)
- Competitive reporting
- Conversion optimization (changing more prospects into customers)
- Landing page creation
- Search engine marketing (AdWords/display ads/remarketing)
- Campaign management and creative design
- Email newsletter design and copywriting
- Website maintenance plans
There are many ways you can build website traffic to help increase your brand awareness, sales, leads or donations, as well as achieving your goals and contributing to your bottom line. Depending on your needs, we can help you develop and execute a complete digital marketing plan or provide expert support in these areas:
Google AdWords (paid search advertising)
- Ideal for placing higher in search engine ranking for the top terms your target customers are using to find your products or services, as well as attracting more visitors that are unfamiliar with your brand
- Allows you to compete for customers online who use search terms your site doesn't naturally rank high for
- Only targets prospects looking for your type of product or service right at the time they're looking for it making the ad timely and cost effective
- Can help you get noticed in a highly competitive industry
Display Ads (paid online advertising)
- Builds awareness for new products, service offerings or promotions on other websites that your target demographic visits
- Provides you with advertising channels you may not have been able to afford before (e.g. you may not be able to afford a print ad in the Globe & Mail, but you can afford a pay-per-click ad that is served up on their website)
Remarketing (paid online advertising)
- This keeps visitors who aren't ready to buy aware of your product or service and brand after they leave your website by following their online activity with ads so you're top-of-mind when they're ready to buy
Creating Special Website Landing Page(s) to Support a Digital Campaign
- This approach drives visitors from your online ad to special landing pages designed to convert them to customers or longer-term prospects (by getting permission to keep in touch with them)
Optimizing Website Content for Better Natural Ranking
- Google loves (and gives preference to) websites that do a great job of answering customer questions and providing a good user experience. By enhancing the content on your website to include answers to common customer questions or problems, as well as key terms prospects would use to find that kind of information, more visitors will be attracted to your site.
Adding More Website Content for Promotion
- By continually adding helpful information to your website such as articles, blog posts or videos to name a few, you're seen as a thought and/or industry leader which supports your brand and builds awareness
- These types of content are ideal for promoting on social media, YouTube and email newsletters to generate interest in your brand and drive traffic back to your website
Google Analytics & Conversion Tracking
- Setting up analytics and tracking is an easy way to measure how your advertising or promotional activities are performing (as you can see exactly how many people are coming to your site as a result of an ad, e-news blast or social post and what action they're taking once they get there)
- It can provide invaluable data by showing exactly how the ad is contributing to your bottom line by measuring how many visitors converted into a warm lead or actual customer through their actions on your website (e.g. sending email inquiries, dialing your number on mobile phone or making an online purchase)
- It also shows how visitors are interacting with your site once they arrive there so you can use this information as a helpful assessment tool to guide website enhancements to improve your customers' user experience
What Are Some Common Reservations About Digital Marketing?
"I don't click on ads. Nobody clicks on ads."
The truth is people do click on ads, but only when the ad is relevant to them. Let's pretend it's the middle of the summer and your air conditioning is on the fritz in the middle of a heat wave. You decide to search for 'air conditioner repair companies' and see a number of results on the first page. But even before getting to the real search results, you notice there's companies listed at the top of the page with ads that read "24/7 emergency repairs, same day service guaranteed". Odds are you notice these ads and you're more likely to click them because they help you solve your problem. The right digital campaign targets people searching for the problem your company solves and you only pay when potential customers click on that advertised offering.
Isn't digital marketing expensive?
When done right, digital marketing is an investment that helps your business achieve its goals. The first step in any campaign is figuring out what the average customer is worth to your business. This helps you establish a reasonable budget for your marketing spend. Starting with a small campaign that focuses on one product or service is a great way to test the waters with a smaller investment. Once your campaign is delivering results, it's easy to increase your budget and get bigger results. We can help you with a small, managed campaign starting as low as $1,000.
How do I know my investment is doing well?
You need to know that your money is well spent. Most digital marketing is easily tracked allowing you to see how it contributes to the bottom line. We set up custom online conversion tracking and reports so you can identify the value your campaign is delivering (such as how many people visited your website by clicking your ad, how many filled in a contact form or even clicked on your phone number using their phone). This tracking also allows us to improve the conversion process of prospects into customers over time.
What about Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Content Marketing?
A well-optimized site often appears higher in search results for many target terms, but it's impossible to place highly for all the terms potential customers search for. Optimizing for search requires a number of tactics, but what it really comes down to is offering a great experience for visitors by providing website content that answers their questions. Writing content that specifically targets the problems your customers are having is a great way to make your site more appealing and receive recommendations from search engines. There is an upfront cost to developing effective search optimized content, however when this content is complete and placing well in search engines, it can be continuously relied on to bring in new visitors without ongoing cost. When your website can't rank for all the terms that you'd like to, search advertising is great way to attract new customers.

Pakistan has ties to terror groups: US lawmaker
Pakistan has ties to terror groups: US lawmaker
WASHINGTON (Pajhwok): Alleging that Pakistan fosters a relationship with terrorist groups, an influential US lawmaker on Monday urged the Trump Administration to have a final determination on whether the South Asian country is a state sponsor of terrorism.
Congressman Ted Poe from Texas, who is Chairman of the powerful House Subcommittee on Terrorism, said if the Trump administration did not want to designate Pakistan as a state sponsor of terrorism, there had to be a "legal justification" as to why it did not meet the criteria for such a designation.
Poe last week introduced legislation -- HR 1449, the Pakistan State Sponsor of Terrorism Act of 2017 – which seeks a final determination from the new US government in this regard. "The bill does not designate Pakistan as a state sponsor of terrorism, it requires the resident and the State Department to make that determination," he told reporters on Monday.
The resolution requires the US president to issue a report within 90 days detailing whether Pakistan provided support for international terrorism. Within a month, the secretary of state is required to submit a follow-up report containing either a determination or a justification why Pakistan does not meet the legal criteria for such a designation.
"Pakistan fosters relationship with terrorist groups as a way to leverage over its rivals in India and Afghanistan," Poe alleged. "All I am asking for in this legislation is a review of Pakistan. Let's get all the evidence and let the US government make that determination.
"The evidence that I have seen, just some of the evidence that I have presented to you, calls for a review of Pakistan's position on issue of terrorism. Are they State sponsor of terrorism or they are not? This is what this legislation does," he said.
Poe claimed there were proofs of ISI supporting numerous terrorist acts in Afghanistan, including one at a NATO outpost in Kabul in September 2012. "Pakistan is a safe haven for Afghan Taliban, Al Qaeda and the Haqqani network."
Several top Afghan Taliban leaders had been killed inside Pakistan, the lawmaker said. Due to these activities, he added, the Defense Department had not issued any certificate that Pakistan had taken action against the Haqqani network.

BRUSSELS — The European Union said Tuesday it wants to allow investors to sue credit rating agencies for compensation if they break EU regulations "intentionally or with gross negligence."
The proposal from the European Commission, the EU"s executive, is part of a new set of rules for credit rating agencies, which have found themselves under attack during the 2008 credit crunch and the ongoing sovereign debt crisis in the eurozone.
The regulation, which needs to be approved by EU governments and the European Parliament, also requires agencies to be more transparent over how they decide on a country"s, or company"s, credit worthiness and to warn bond issuers of a change in rating one day ahead of publishing it.
Since the 2008 credit crunch, regulators around the world have been working to limit the power wielded by the Big Three agencies — Standard & Poor"s, Fitch Ratings and Moody"s Investors Service — which dominate some 95 percent of the global rating market.
Bond ratings are important because they often determine whether certain investors — such as big pension or money market funds — can buy or even own them and a downgrade can trigger a sell-off in a country"s or company"s bonds.
Making rating agencies liable for their decisions could potentially spark expensive lawsuits in civil courts around the 27-country EU, although some states, including France, already have liability provisions and have not seen high-profile legal cases.
Credit rating agencies have so far defended their assessments as opinions protected by freedom of speech — a claim that the Commission rejected.
"Ratings have a direct impact on the markets and the wider economy and thus on the prosperity of European citizens," said Internal Market Commissioner Michel Barnier. "They are not just simple opinions."
Crucially, the new rules would place the burden of proof in a lawsuit on the rating agency rather than the plaintiff.
"Given that it would often be difficult for the investor to prove what the reason for the breach of the regulation was and whether this breach was due to gross negligence …it will be for the (credit rating agency) to prove that it applied the necessary care," the Commission said.
Whether moving the burden of proof to the rating agency will be enough to allow for successful compensation claims is questionable, however.
"Proving the rating agency to be wrong in specific rating decisions is a very difficult thing to do," said Nicolas Veron, a senior fellow at Brussels-based economic think tank Bruegel.
Ratings assess the probability of an entity defaulting of its debt and even if the probability is seen as very low, it still exists, Veron said.
The EU proposals go far beyond much more limited provisions for liability in the United States, said Tamar Frankel, a professor at the Boston University School of Law and an expert on rating agencies. She said getting courts to impose liability on rating agencies will be difficult because the agencies would quickly go bankrupt.
Rating agencies quickly came out against the proposals.
"The Commission"s proposals are inconsistent with the objectives of stabilizing credit markets and strengthening investor confidence, and instead would disrupt access to credit and increase market volatility in Europe," Moody"s said in a statement.
S&P, meanwhile, warned that "adding new rules that are out of step with other regulatory regimes will damage ratings as a globally consistent benchmark of creditworthiness."
The new regulation also seeks to fight conflicts of interest between bond issuers and the credit rating agencies that assess them.
Companies, which have to pay agencies to assess their credit worthiness, would be required to change agencies every three years to avoid too much reliance. At the same time, agencies would not be allowed to rate companies in which they or their parent companies hold a financial interest.
However, Barnier failed to convince the rest of the Commission, which includes officials from all other EU countries, to support a temporary ban of credit ratings for countries under an international bailout program.
The French commissioner had pushed hard for such a ban during in a 3-hour-long debate with his colleagues. He said that the Commission would try to agree on a ban in the future.
Barnier also did not succeed in persuading his colleagues to ban large rating agencies from taking over smaller competitors over the next decade in an effort to increase competition.
The initial reaction from the European Parliament was muted disappointment.
"The proposals seem to be devoid of certain significant elements in comparison to what was anticipated and is lower than expectations," said Leonardo Domenici, a member of the Alliance of Socialists & Democrats who will lead the talks on rating agencies for the parliament.
"The procedure today in the run-up to the proposal"s presentation was unusual and labored, and does not augur well for legislation of such great importance," he added.

A two weekend course, although the weekends can also be taken individually.
Dates: Ran in 2015. To be repeated at some point in the future.
Venue: tbc.
Our Inner Critic can be useful, but left untamed it can become a bully who rules, and even ruins, our life. Without it being reigned in, it's voice can be cruel, undermining and destructive. Often other inner parts gang up with it - the Perfectionist, the Pusher, the Pleaser and so on, making life harder than ever. Over this workshop we will draw on help and healing from our guides, and techniques from shamanism and other sources such as Voice Dialogue work, to rein in our Critic, and come to a useful working relationship with it. There will be many facets to this work, including looking at where our Inner Critic came from, and doing the necessary extraction work, soul retrieval and recapitulation work as needed, and come to a kinder and more self-compassionate place within ourselves.

Lessons learned from Steve Jobs' effective leadership style
You may have heard that Steve Jobs has decided to step down from his successful tenure as Apple's CEO. Without a doubt, Jobs' effective leadership style was directly responsible for Apple's complete turnaround in the marketplace. The man is inspiring: He has a vision and very rarely wavers from it, even when his decisions about innovation seemed counterintuitive and spooked shareholders.
However, as CEO, he was always course-correcting how to get to that vision: He has been unafraid to admit that he doesn't know all of the answers and invited CEOs of Oracle, Intuit, etc., to consult with him on whether he was pursuing the right innovation strategy for Apple. His example of an effective leadership style really underlines the importance of good networks and rock-solid mentors. Good leaders aren't afraid to say, "Hey, what do you think of this idea?"
While he's going out on top, he's no stranger to setbacks. Remember, Jobs was actually fired by Apple in 1985 and yet bounced back to reinvent Pixar, one of the most beloved entertainment brands in the world, before going back to the mothership.
CIOs tell me they struggle with communicating back to the business. We've already looked at how IT alignment is a one-sided affair. Everyone at Apple was aligned with the leader's vision. CIOs can take a page from Jobs and consider adopting elements of his effective leadership style. Jobs became an evangelist for his vision, and his team was confident enough to take up that torch and run with it. He also excels at not only knowing his customer but also in whipping that customer into a lather of excitement for corporate strategy. Not surprisingly, Apple is often cited as the epitome of brand loyalty, not just with the consumer but also with internal team members. Wouldn't we all want to have our team members voluntarily tattoo themselves with our corporate logo?
Even with my Apple predilection, I'll really miss Jobs' effective leadership style. I'll miss his enthusiasm and the similarly zany impressions on SNL. But most of all, I'll miss his constant reminders that innovation is nothing short of "magic." That's a good reminder for all of us.

Last week, we were thrilled to discover that Emma Watson is to be crowned a Disney princess, as the actress announced her role as Belle in the live-action Beauty and the Beast. Now, her Harry Potter co-stars have explained why she's a perfect fit, and it's not just because she's had plenty of practice as a bookworm when playing Hermione Granger.
Speaking at Universal Orlando's Celebration of Harry Potter, Evanna Lynch and James Phelps both spoke of Emma's hard-working attitude.
When asked if the actress can sing, Evanna said, "I imagine she's good," while quite rightly added that she is "good at everything else".
James continued: "Emma works so hard. Even if she's not naturally a good singer, she will make herself great at it. She's very conscientious."
Questions of who would play the Beast also cropped up during the fan panel, and James admitted he'd received plenty of Twitter suggestions from his followers. He said: "People keep tweeting me like, 'Tom Felton for the Beast!" Though we're not so sure Hermione Granger would be too thrilled by that...

Sure boiling eggs isn't hard. Not hard at all. However, when you need to make 24…. or maybe 48 at a time for Easter or a giant gathering, it takes a lot less work to throw them in the oven and have the same delicious hard boil eggs without all the extra work or mess.
How to make Hard boiled Eggs in the Oven:
Can you really make hard-boiled eggs in your oven?

It's almost Easter and that means it's time to boil LOT of eggs for dying, hiding and deviling! Even if it wasn't Easter, my kids love hard boiled eggs, but I hate the smell that it creates.
PLUS, boiling eggs can be such a pain! I always end up breaking a few by accidentally breaking them when I add them to the pot especially when I'm making such huge batches. Well… it just got easier!
Did you know you can make perfect "hard boiled" eggs in your oven with very little effort?
All you need is a muffin pan (I used a mini muffin pan so I could cook more at once – here is the mini muffin pan that I use all the time), but you could use a regular muffin pan to. Then you need eggs, water, and an oven. That is it!!
It is so easy to bake hard-boiled egged in the oven. How to make hard boiled eggs in the oven quickly. Perfect for a huge party or the holidays!
- Eggs
- You will need an oven and a muffin pan too
- a bowl of ice water
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
Place eggs (as many as you want!) in a muffin pan (or mini-muffin pan) to prevent them from rolling around.
Cook for 30 minutes and then take eggs out of oven.
Immediately place eggs into a bowl of ice water and leave for 10 minutes.
Peel away the shell and Enjoy!
This recipe makes hard boiled eggs a cinch!
The result – Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs right out of your oven!
Do you know what the best part is?
The best part of it all…The egg shell comes off a lot easier than it does with the traditional boiling method and the smell is much better! Now you can make more eggs at once without the fuss. It is a win-win!
Easter is just around the corner! Time to get "baking".

It looks like it belongs in Japan, but it's another Asian country that's laid claim to the delicious-looking sweet.
As the home of the sought-after matcha Kit Kat, along with a myriad other green tea-based sweets and delicacies, you'd be forgiven for mistaking this awesome new ice cream for a Japan-only release. It turns out, however, that it's people in Thailand who were first able to enjoy the Kit Kat Green Tea Ice cream, when it first appeared on the market last year.
Wihiii…barusan nemu Green Tea KitKat Ice Cream! Ada yg pernah coba? 😁 #ChiangMai https://t.co/WKfFhKyatM—

Excited tourists have been tweeting pictures of the unusual ice cream while on their travels to the south-east Asian country, and it turns out the sweet has also been spotted in the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur.

Now, a recent news article in Japan has just reported that the ice cream has been released in Vietnam, with sales officially starting on 16 February.

What's more, the ice cream is being sold at Japanese-born FamilyMart and Ministop stores around the country. With the product now inching closer and closer to Japanese shores, could this mean that we might be seeing this product in Japan in the near future, perhaps with a matcha Kit Kat piece sitting in the middle? With it looking as mouth-watering as this, we certainly hope so!

Foundation Problems to watch for when searching for a new home.
Many home buyers are rightfully concerned about the condition of the foundation on their pending investment. Whether caused by mechanical defects, or by 'mother nature', Foundation Problems are something to watch for when searching for a new home.
One of the big problems that we have here in the desert is a condition known as 'expansive soil'.
This is where there are veins or layers of a clay known as 'expansive soil', that is very reactive to moisture. With the addition of some water, like during a monsoon rainstorm, this expansive soil can swell to many times it original volume. Then, during a span of very hot and dry conditions, this soil will then shrink again to its original volume, or maybe a little less. These changes can have an adverse effect on foundations, sidewalks, driveways, pools, etc.
I have prepared a video showing some of the more severe settling effects on a property that would raise a red flag on its condition. In a case such as this, a certified foundation inspector should probably be hired to check things out.

Poker belongs to the most favored games enjoyed around the world. This game involves betting and individual play where positions and card combinations determine the champ. Poker is a game of talent and wits, which needs different methods and a great deal of good fortune to succeed. It has different variants, each using a matching structure of play and making use of identical poker hand positions. Continue reading to know more details on poker for beginners online.
Variations of Poker
- Stud: Participants in this game receive a combination of face-down, called hole cards, and face-up cards put up throughout numerous betting rounds. People who hold anything worthy usually refer to the phrase as "ace in the hole". This game has several other variants such as six-card stud, Razz, and Mississippi stud. The most common of these is the seven-card stud, which deals two extra cards to each participant to make the perfect 5-card hand.
- Draw: Participants can replace or draw cards to build up their poker hand ahead of the initial betting round. A five-card draw is considered the most common and simplest version of this game, making it a good variety of poker for beginners. People usually play this in homes than in gambling establishments or competitions.
- Flop: Participants will receive an incomplete poker hand of hole cards, while sharing a collection of face-up cards put up to the center of the table. They will combine the hole cards along with the ones at the center of the table to make a complete poker hand. Guidelines of every game may determine how players can mix their partial poker hand. The most common variations of this game are Omaha and Texas hold 'em.
Typical Errors in the Game
-Being predictable: Some participants make the identical structure when putting gamble, which causes them to lose. It is advisable to mix your pattern to throw participants off. Assess your own game, distinguish your habits, and alter them from time to time. Play marginal hands in position or see if you have good poker hands. Gamble the same levels so competitors will not figure out your pattern.
-Placing low gamble into pots: Chances and possibilities are primary benchmarks in winning the game. Some people tend to increase their gamble with a minimum amount whenever they produce a hand. Gamble no less than double the minimum if you feel you possess a strong poker hand.
- Bluffing frequently: Even though a bluff can place a participant out of focus, this may not work towards experienced competitors. Evaluate the skill level of your opponent prior to trying to bluff.
-Showing cards: People who present their poker hand are only asking opponents to raise their gamble at the next round. Do not present your cards even if you are simply a novice. Do not give opponents the opportunity to realize your bluff.
Ideas when playing poker
Take note of the playing cards on the table. Consider what is happening while keeping focused on your poker hand. Know which cards opponents folded. Observe your opponents' habits to create the right judgment in folding or betting. Learn when to stop to help you prevent losing all your money in the game. Take control of your emotional behavior and do not become attached to the outcome of the game. Find out poker step by step.

Stay on target
Okay, first thing: Why are people mad at the director?
Short version: Shane Black (writer/director of Iron Man 3, The Nice Guys and some highly-regarded action-comedy screenplays in the 80s and 90s) cast a "down on his luck" actor friend of his in a bit role for one scene opposite Olivia Munn. And he didn't disclose to the actress (or anyone else in the production) that his friend was "down on his luck" because he was on the sex offender registry for attempted inappropriate contact with a minor. Munn found this out after the film was completed and informed the studio, which cut the scene from the movie. It led to a public scandal with others in the production accused of ostracizing and/or "failing to support" Munn during the press tour when it was coming to light.
That's pretty bad. What does the director have to say for himself?
Black has stated that his friend misrepresented the seriousness of the circumstances under which he was originally convicted, and how much it was exacerbated by a struggle with alcoholism. The same actor has previously been in minor roles in some of Black's other films.
So still pretty unpleasant, then. That's a sour note to start on.
You're telling me.
Apart from that, how is The Predator?
Kind of a mess.
Yeah, and I was looking forward to this one, too. Whatever else you can say about him, Black (who actually appeared in the original Predator as "Hawkins" back in 1987) is a heck of a talent. It feels like he may have bitten off more than he could chew, and that the production got away from him. The Predator has all the hallmarks of an ambitious, stuffed-to-the-gills "big idea" reboot that spooked the studio (Fox, in this case), and got chopped down to a 95 minute bare-bones September dump. It's still hard to imagine that there was much movie to begin with even when Black had control of it, though.
What's the main issue?
As released, it feels hacked down to near-incomprehensibility. At the foundation, though, it's probably that Black went too weird and self-aware with it. Even in this mangled form, The Predator is far and away the "silliest" Predator-related movie ever assembled, and it's clear that it was actively trying to be even weirder and more comical at one point.
Ironically, if not for his irresponsible decisions about the bit player casting stealing the spotlight, the big news story surrounding this film would likely have been fanboys crucifying Shane Black as an "SJW shill" for turning The Predator into a post-modern self-satire that relentlessly mocks the franchise's prior attempts at being remotely seriousness. All while "virtue signaling" about autism acceptance and endangered species.
I'm sorry, what?
To get into the weeds on it would involve actual spoilers, but suffice to say Black (who, as in Iron Man 3, seems to take perverse delight in attempting to pull off the "good version" of bad-idea producer-note tropes like cute little kids, animal sidekicks, and socially conscious moral lessons) seems to have decided to take a stab at making the Predator franchise "about something."
It sounds pretty similar to Iron Man 3, tone-wise.
I'm not exactly sure what makes less sense, hiring the director of Iron Man 3 for a franchise sci-fi sequel and being surprised when he hands in a snarky-confrontational-dialogue-based action-comedy that deconstructs parts of it, or not wanting it after he does when Iron Man 3 made $1.2 Billion worldwide? If they didn't want a Shane Black movie, why hire him in the first place?
So what is this actually about?
Like most modern blockbusters, way too much. There are dozens of characters, multiple side-plots, various converging teams and agendas, three separate cover-up/conspiracy narratives, and a sequel setup. That's all crammed into an hour and a half by editing it with the subtlety of a weed-wacker.
As for the plot, Boyd Holbrook is a sniper who encounters a Predator. Both of them get grabbed by a government agency that's been covering up Predator activity since the first movie; but not before Holbrook hides some Predator armor "evidence" with his estranged wife and bullied autistic son. His autistic son who, of course, can decipher the Predator language and turn the equipment on while trying to use it as a Halloween costume. This draws the attention of a second Predator, a Hulk-sized mutant brute (seemingly an evolution of the Super-Predators from 2010's underrated Predators) that is apparently the nemesis of the other one and looking to kill it for some reason.
Holbrook assembles a ragtag group of fellow veterans suffering various forms of mental-illness from the institution where he's being held. This band must save his family from being caught in the fight between the Predators and the government cover-up, while also helping Munn's Predator-studying scientist figure out why the first Predator showed up on Earth in the first place.
Wow, that's a lot.
Right? It feels like they had five or six fully-formed ideas for a new Predator, and decided to use all of them. "Predator versus suburban family on Halloween." "Remake the first one, but with present-day mentally-ill and vets instead of black-ops guys." "Lady scientist versus government cover-up." "Let's go back to the 'Super-Predator' idea." "What if some Predators have different opinions about hunting humans?"
Those could all each be their own movie, but instead they're all THIS movie. And I didn't even mention the Predator Dogs and the gratuitous sequel setup.
Does any of it work?
A lot of it works! I'm just not sure it works together. There are good action beats, both Predators (and even the silly "Predator Dogs") look fantastic, and the retro-flavored score is nice. And Shane Black is undeniably one of the best in the business at taking a hodgepodge cast and shaggy sequences of hanging out exchanging schoolyard insults into something entertaining.
But not enough of it works.
Sadly, no. "Well-intentioned" and "so ridiculous and overstuffed it's fun" aren't exactly the same thing as good. I genuinely do want to see what the movie looked like before it got chopped up. For now, what's available is more the idea of a movie than a movie.

Melo explains the peculiar "Melo fans of Utah" ad
Twitter was all atwitter:
@1SlaughterHouse: Am I bugging? Was that a Utah Ad for Melo
@anderyoung: wow im speechless after watching that melo ad
@jeffamytrimble: What the? Melo fans of Utah? Somebody mispent some ad revenue.
As we wrote yesterday, the Carmelo Anthony "Melo's people of Utah" commercial, aired during Games 1 and 2, was made by Nike's Jordan Brand. I asked Melo about it today, and right away he asked me: "You like it, think it's funny?"
I asked him what the purpose of the ad was. He smiled and said: "To make it seem like all the fans in Utah are rooting for me. It's just stirring some stuff up. If we had played Phoenix, it would be the same thing."
Turns out the ad was to rile up the fans, as if there was a Denver-Oakland NFL playoff game and an commercial aired about "Denverites for the Raiders."
Asked how he thinks the fans will react to him in Game 3, Melo said: "Of course, they'll boo me. … It's the playoffs."
Here's what the ad says:
"Every millennia or so a person comes along with the power to unite the world. This year, that person is Carmelo Anthony. His dominant game this season is a testament to the human potential. But while he's gotten himself here, he can't do it alone — or maybe he can — but he'll also have us, Melo's people of Utah. We're proud to support this soon-to-be champion. C.A., the common denominator of our hearts. Supported by the fans of Carmelo Anthony in Utah."
And here's the ad:

A chaplain does not provide a formal counselling service, but is there to listen and take an interest. They will be found almost anywhere in the town, particularly in the shopping areas.
Chaplains are careful not to interrupt work, but often snatch a few words with colleagues, to be a support and encouragement during the busy working day. If needed, they can make themselves available for longer conversations
over coffee.
What you talk about is up to you.
Newbury town chaplains are a team of people from local churches who are clearly identified by blue "chaplain" gilets. They will be visiting the local shops on a regular basis for a couple of hours at least once a week.
As you see them around, do say hello!
Although a chaplain is a person of faith, they are not visiting to talk about religion but to listen to whatever you want to talk about.

The music that we see in Jules or in T.J., the music comes through Dad, I think. My mother really wasn't musical at all.
[Marcia]: But she, the inventive streak that so many of you have must have come through her side of the family because wasn't it her, one of her relatives that invented the coupler for the train cars?
Yes. I think it was Choate.
[Marcia]: Choate.
It was a Choate who invented the. . . . I think it was Choate. He never was able to patent it, but he saw that the trains were held together by chains when he was a young kid. And he would sit by the trains as they were going by and often they would break. He invented that and never got it patented.
There's Virginia Lee [showing picture].
We were told by my mother and she had gotten it by. . . .
[Heidi]: I'm going to tell my kids I invented Post-It Notes. [Laughter] It got stolen from me.
[T.J.]: People with magical minds, much like Grandpa had, your father, many of them are also musically inclined.
[Heidi]: And linguistically inclined.
If we get a chance tomorrow and we go by a piano, we can maybe get him to sit down and just play a little bit of Beethoven. The last time. . . .
[Kathy]: I wish we still had a piano here.
[Eric]: The Townsend Building has one.
There's a piano and we can just sit down and let him. He hasn't done it in a year, but he is . . . I'm very proud to be related to this guy. And he's very skilled in the piano.

In 2013, Scott surrendered to a call from the Lord for full time Christian service. Not really knowing in what area God would call him, he began to pray and seek. After three years, God made it very clear that His call was for Scott and Jennifer Carsley to build a Christian camp. After you receive a clear call from the Lord, you want to put the pedal to the metal and get moving; however, God had not shown them where. So like a missionary who starts with survey trips, they began to look in different areas, starting with West Virginia. While spending a weekend touring a camp for sale in West Virginia, there was just a feeling of unsettlement. Mississippi and other areas were also prayed about, but with each new state considered, God kept returning their hearts here at home in Virginia. With the area settled, the process of meeting with lawyers to write the bylaws, putting a board of directors together, and the process to receive our non-profit 501(c)(3) started.
In the summer of 2016, after contacts that led to other contacts, the Carsleys met with a gentleman who was selling a piece of property in Louisa, VA. After walking this beautiful property connected to Bowlers Mill Lake, there was no doubt that this land would make a beautiful camp setting. They quickly placed a deposit on the land to secure it. With one major issue on the table that could not be resolved; which was the ban of swimming in the lake connecting to the property which was owned by the county. It was decided, it was best to pull out of the contract. With mixed emotions, they waited to see what God had next. God's next surprise was in the form of a phone call.
From IRS paperwork to county paperwork, meetings, forms, phone calls to and from churches, and realizing the need for marketing and fundraising, time was a growing problem. Scott began to pray earnestly for someone with a heart for camp ministry to help in the growing labor.
In late December, Scott received a phone call from James Burnett with an interest in the ministry. Trying to contain his excitement over the phone, Scott wondered if this was God's direct answer to his prayer. With a time set up for everyone to meet, along with several meetings thereafter, God made it clear that this partnership was of His choosing and could not be more perfect. James and his wife, Stacey, come with four years of camp experience. James was a Youth Pastor for 13 years and is a deacon at his church. It is evident that they have a love for serving the Lord.
So back to the drawing board we went. In January 2017, our team of board members met to discuss our options. We were praying and asking for God to show us the next door. We had looked at land that is connected to the South Anna River as well as an older established camp for sale. We also spent a full day touring a large camp on the east coast that was up for sell. The facilities was in every way a perfect example of our vision for The Edge Christian Camp. With a little cleaning, we thought, lives could be impacted for Christ immediately, and that is what we did. The Lord blessed us with the ability to lease this camp property until December. We were truly blessed with the events and activities we were able to host. Over 500 heard the gospel and many decisions were made. In December we were notified that camp was going to be sold and our lease would be ended.
In 2018, after much prayer and seeking, we were able to locate multiple property options for The Edge to call home. We are currently pursuing one of the options as we have been blessed with $225,000 to use as a down payment. Currently we are waiting on a response to an offer that was made.
We are grateful how God has led us, and for all the people He has allowed us to meet. Our team at The Edge is dedicated to keeping the mission of this ministry which is "To disciple men, women, and children for the glory of God, and to promote their spiritual and physical well-being through year-round camp, conference, and retreat events."
Please continue in prayer as we continue in the Lord's leading.

Leonardo da Vinci did more than paint just the Mona Lisa. He was also a safety pioneer! Seeing some of his fellow artists coughing while chiseling and sanding marble, he had the idea that a piece of cloth dipped in water and stretched over the nose and mouth could make the job safer. He was onto something. Safety masks have become a job site necessity for many different professions and hobbies. If da Vinci had an N95 mask available, I'm sure it would have been his preference.
It's a good thing too, because lungs are delicate and hard to repair. Over the past 300 years or so, advancements in chemistry and industry have continuously caused us to learn this fact the hard way. In fact, we have used tons of chemicals before knowing the myriad of ways these nifty potions turn our bodies into toxic goo. Most of the time, we can't even see it happening. The majority of airborne particles are between .1 and 5 microns. A micron is one millionth of a meter, which is far too small to see with the naked eye, unless you have some sort of Batman gadget that makes it possible.
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), a division of the Centers for Disease Control, determines ratings that allow a person to choose the right mask for whatever job needs to be done. Here are the major ratings in clear language, along with what each one protects against. Print out this little chart and hang onto it. Also, note what some do not protect against:
The "N" stands for the not resistant to oil, of course, and "P" is for "oil proof," and can help you remember that only masks with a "P" rating can provide ample protection against oil-based particulates. It is helpful to note that since government agencies determine these ratings, one N95 mask that is more expensive than another will not provide some kind of "better" N95 protection. (Check out some of our N95 masks like the Moldex 2300!) It's likely the added cost is simply connected to a name brand.
With Christmas around the corner, it's good news that Santa's sleigh is reindeer powered. (Although if he were allergic to reindeer, an N95 mask would serve him well.) If his sleigh ran on diesel, he might have to cancel Christmas or shave off his trademark beard. (For those of you without facial hair, you can protect yourself from diesel with a P100 filter and a half face mask.) As many a beard wearer learns to his chagrin, facial hair makes a mask essentially useless, so while those with beards look cool and rugged on the outside, their lungs will suffer if they are working jobs that require a mask. This is the time of year when you can appreciate why it matters to stay safe year round. We sell a number of P100 pancake filters (like the 3M 2091) that you can attach to your respirator.
Looking for a reliable respirator? The 8233 n100 mask is a perfect choice for those who want the highest rated filter efficiency in a mask. It is approved for lead abatement, welding fumes, radioactive particulate materials, and non-oil containing mists.

As mentioned above and shown in Fig. 101, photons entering the OM detector hit a photo-cathode, which is located at the backside of the detector entrance window. Electrons emanating from the photo-cathode are amplified by the MCPs, creating photon splashes at the location of the OM CCD. The detection of a photon entering the detector is performed by reading out the CCD and determining the photon splash's centre position using a centroiding algorithm, which is part of the onboard software. In the process of centroiding a grid of 88 ``in-memory'' pixels is defined, leading to an array of 20482048 in-memory pixels with an approximate size of 0''.476 on the sky. In the resulting images at some level there is always a pattern repeating on an 88 grid, resulting from a limitation in the algorithm. This spurious pattern can be removed by subsequent processing on ground.
As with all photon-counting detectors, there is a limit to the maximum count rate achievable before saturation sets in. The frame time6 of the OM detector is about 11 ms at slowest, so a linearity correction must be applied in the offline data processing for count rates above ca. 10 counts/s for point sources. Both deadtime and coincidence losses contribute to the non-linearity of the OM detector. These effects are corrected by using SAS in the data reduction. Deadtime losses are due to the lack of instrumental response during a frame transfer. Coincidence loss is observed whenever the count rate is such that more than one photon arrive in the same pixel within a given readout frame. Deadtime becomes important for short frametime. On the other hand, longer frametimes are more likely affected by coincidence losses. These effects are quantitatively described in § 3.5.5.
In addition, sources which are too bright can depress the local sensitivity of the photocathode: this is a cumulative effect, so that fainter sources observed for long times have the same effect as brighter sources observed for shorter periods. This places some operational constraints on the instrument. Pointing of bright sources may also yield ghost images in subsequent observations due to fluorescence.
Cosmetically, the OM detectors are good, with few hot or dead pixels, and little global variation in quantum efficiency. Pixel to pixel sensitivity variations on the OM CCD are in some way smoothed by the centroiding mechanism producing the final pixels, as described above. Local sensitivity gradients are negligible on scales up to two minutes of arc.
It should be noted that due to an accidental observation of Jupiter in July 2017, a decreased sensitivity region of about 210 x 120 pixels appeared close to the center of the detector. The highest loss of sensitivity occurs with the V filter (%) in the centre of the region. See Sect. 3.5.5 for more details.

rose between two thorns
- quite literally. This is the first and only rose to come off a bush we planted a couple of years ago. The labels got muddled up so I'm not even sure what it is meant to be, but I was so caught by the way that 3/4 of the petals are shocking pink and the final quarter seem to be peach that I had to pick it and have it in the house for constant admiration and bewilderment.

Gemini Introduces Feature Meant To Discover The Best Daily Price For BitcoinBy Daniel Zo Bitcoin, Exchange, Gemini Read Comments
Since people first started trading bitcoin a couple of years ago, its price has always depended on a couple of aspects, such as trading volume, popularity, rate of adoption, press news, developments and so on.
According to recent reports, Gemini, one of the world's biggest bitcoin exchanges has recently announced that it will launch a daily auction feature, meant to determine the trading price of the digital currency. To put things better into perspective, as it often is quite hard to settle on a price each day, the Gemini exchange now wants to allow users to set the price themselves, and hence find the true price of bitcoin every day.
